TOM CRUISE: AVOIDING COVID IS A MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!

Tom Cruise must be apopleptic- since Tuesday he’s been locked up in isolation for two weeks in the UK, and now the entire 60 person crew of Mission: Impossible 7 is also in isolation. Last December Tom was seen angrily threatening to fire any crew members who broke his strict covid rules. SOMEBODY slipped up big time, and Tom spent a recent day filming a nightclub scene in close contact with 4 dancers who later tested positive. After that, 10 crew members tested positive and the entire set was shut down! Tom is a producer who stands to lose a lot of money because the film started shooting before covid hit and was halted immediately. The film was almost canceled, but they managed to start shooting again with rigid covid rules. Tom proudly says the movie has the most dangerous stunts EVER. Release date for the movie has been pushed back almost a year so far…

THE LOOK ON BEN AFFLECK’S FACE

The look says it all. Ben was photographed leaving Jennifer Lopez’s LA house late this morning. We’re betting he had a good time… (We almost forgot what he looks like without a mask on)

KARLIE KLOSS DOES IT HER WAY

At 6’2,” supermodel Karlie Kloss, 28, towers over her mother-in-law Seryl Kushner as they take a walk with Karlie’s new baby Levi. Karlie and her husband Josh Kushner (Jared Kushner’s brother) started dating in 2012, but sources say his family had no interest in meeting her because she wasn’t Jewish. In 2018, she converted to Judaism and they married soon after. But Karlie has not converted to Republicanism and has remained not only a feminist, but a Democrat. (Josh is also a Democrat.) Naturally she has a convoluted relationship with her in-laws. She and Josh have marched for gun control and she was seen wearing a Biden/Harris hat before the last election. Whether Karlie and Ivanka ever become close as sisters-in-law, remains to be seen.

WE KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP WITH NAOMI OSAKA

Naomi Osaka did a photoshoot for Frankies Bikinis at my LA house and I sensed SOMETHING was wrong. At first I thought she might have regretted doing the deal with Frankies, because posing in a bikini can be embarrassing even for professional models. Naomi looked great in the suits, but they had her wear a pink wig and she did not look happy. In fact, we never saw her smile all day – with or without the camera. And we never saw her chat with anyone on the set in a relaxed manner. The resulting photos will no doubt sell a lot of swimsuits, but her face looked painfully uncomfortable in every one. Now we understand – she revealed that she is introverted and suffers from social anxiety. Those press conferences must have been torture for her. She deserves a break…

MARLA MAPLES: EVERYBODY’S MOVING TO MIAMI!

Marla Maples, 57, recently moved from New York to Florida to be closer to her unfortunately named daughter Tiffany Trump, 27, and posted this photo of them together enjoying the Miami sunset. Tiffany got her law degree from Georgetown U, and she and her fiancee Michael Boulos recently moved to Miami (to be near the rest of her family?) Boulos grew up in Nigeria where his father is a mega-millionaire with multiple businesses. It’s easy to see why Donald Trump fell for the beautiful Marla Maples (they divorced in 1999 and she got NO alimony!) and rather surprising that SHE is still single…

LIZZO’S THIRST FOR ATTENTION EXCEEDS HER VANITY

Lizzo is just BEGGING for comments on this outfit she wore to dinner at Catch LA Saturday night. A few months ago she went to a basketball game wearing a backless dress with a thong underneath and she was bombarded by unpleasant online criticism, but she just shrugged it off. She replied “Negative criticism has no control over my life or my emotions. Never let someone shame you for being yourself!” Certainly there were people in the restaurant rolling their eyes. But it IS difficult to understand why anyone would deliberately dress in a way that is not only shocking but also VERY unflattering. Most people want to look good. Lizzo is content just being noticed.

MRS MAISEL GOT IN OVER HER HEAD

Rachel Brosnahan in her vintage attire, has been all over New York filming The Marvelous Mrs Maisel for the past few weeks. Last night she met this adorable furry fan in the West Village. But according to Roger Friedman, she had a not-so-nice experience in Washington Square Park. She was filming a scene where Midge goes to a fake newsstand in the park (featuring newspapers with President Kennedy headlines) to read reviews of her last performance. A crazed homeless guy started throwing bottles and fighting with another guy and a homeless woman began screaming “prostitutes!” at the actors. It turned into a brawl and one guy actually got his hands on Rachel, but she was pulled to safety. Crew members jumped in to protect everyone and director Amy Palladino was in tears. Nobody was hurt, but that day’s shoot was called off.

BEST DRESSED PRESCHOOLER: LEA COOPER

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk’s four year old daughter Lea is already a fierce fashionista. New York paparazzi photograph Bradley and Irina taking their little girl to and from school frequently and every day she is dressed to kill. Some days cute Lea wears a pink or white ballerina outfit, and we’ve seen her dressed like a princess with a crown. She also has a leopard dress and matching leopard shoes, and is frequently seen in designer fashions by Burberry. That’s what happens when your mom is a famous model! We cannot imagine how other students react to Lea’s amazing wardrobe…

JUSTIN BIEBER IS NO ASAP ROCKY


Justin Bieber posted this photo to make sure that his fans know that he broke down and gave up what passed for dreadlocks/braids on his head and shaved off the whole mess. We never thought that strange hair looked appropriate with his golf shirts, anyway. Justin has been trying to get an edgier look (including adding more tattoos) for his big upcoming world tour, but if you check out his clothing collection of sweats and hoodies called Drew House, it’s apparent that a hip hop look doesn’t come naturally to him. It’s his polar opposite. We wonder if he’ll continue to wear diamond necklaces…

DR FRASIER CRANE IS LEAVING SEATTLE

Kelsey Grammer is excited about the Paramount+ Frasier reboot because it won’t just be the same old story. In other words, Dr Frasier Crane will have a whole new life, but our favorite castmembers will return. After 11 successful seasons, we couldn’t imagine the show without David Hyde Pierce– he’ll be back, as well as Peri Gilpin and Jane Leeves (John Mahoney passed away.) No more Seattle – Frasier will have a new job in a new location. We’re thinking he might be a practicing psychiatrist this time around instead of a radio personality, but the story is under wraps. Kelsey says the show will be as funny as ever and we hope those snappy writers return for the 2022 version. If all goes well, Frasier will have another personable dog…
