Miley Cyrus arrived in New York to begin rehearsals for her Saturday Night Live performance looking more like a Florida housewife on her way to a luau than a popstar. In fact, from head to toe, she’s an example of what a rock musician should NOT look like – a very ordinary person with bad taste. Those awful clashing prints- and accessories! Hardly appropriate for walking the streets of New York – or maintaining a rockstar image.

A few years back, Diddy announced that he was going to change his name to Love, and then we all forgot about it. Until now. His new name is Sean Love Combs. He says “you can address me by any of my older names, but if you wanna call me Love, baby, you can” He posted his new Florida driver’s license on Instagram.

After spending ALL THOSE HOURS in tattoo parlors (not to mention the money) SNL comic Pete Davidson has been diligently getting his tattoos lasered off one by one. Ouch. He started with the most visible ones on his hands, arms, and neck. This is a big step for a guy who was ALL about tattoos, but Davidson has a good reason for putting up with the pain and giving up some of his hipster image. He wants to be a movie star! Pete says he never imagined he could become an actor, but he’s already appeared in two films – The King of Staten Island and The Suicide Squad and he LOVED it. But he had to arrive hours earlier than other actors to have his distracting tattoos covered up. THAT he didn’t like- so he decided to start the process of removing most of his 100-plus tattoos, just in case he has a bright future in Hollywood.

He should know better than to pose with a truly adorable dog- Mark Wahlberg is nearly invisible in this photo. That furry face! It was only last year during the BLM protests that Wahlberg foolishly posted a photo of George Floyd online, along with sympathetic comments. Outraged readers immediately brought up Wahlberg’s own history of racially motivated hate crimes that he committed as a teenager. In fact, they take up four paragraphs on his Wikipedia page. Wahlberg immediately took down the George Floyd pic and stayed under the radar for awhile. A short time later, Wikipedia changed the title of “Hate Crimes” on Wahlberg’s Wikipedia page to “Racial Incidents.”

Here we go again! Justin Bieber is flaunting his version of dreadlocks and undereducated people are actually complaining about “cultural appropriation” – a term we believe should be removed from vocabulary use. Despite the fact that Justin’s dreads are NOT all that flattering or attractive, (he’s no Future) he is obviously NOT making fun of any race. Fact is, he admires the African hairstyle SO much, he’s desperately trying to duplicate it himself. And IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY! There is nothing healthier than cultures exchanging styles, habits, dances, recipes… whatever. Adapting good things from other cultures makes the entire world a better place, and it is INEVITABLE in a multicultural society. We’d like to see all those “cultural appropriation” complainers move into the 21st century…

Willie Nelson’s son Micah Nelson is a successful singer in his own right, but has thus far resisted the urge to join Twitter. Some creep with bad intentions took advantage of the situation and opened a Twitter account in Micah’s name. He proceeded to contact and befriend fans of Willie Nelson. He chatted about his own music and invited one female fan to a performance HE had scheduled in Denver, implying his father might make an appearance. Then he asked the fan for her bank information so he could generously send her money by direct deposit to pay for “a first class plane ticket to Denver” for the show! She was no fool, and the fan not only recognized the scam and turned him DOWN, but reported him to Twitter and his fake account was closed. The real Micah Nelson and his father were both grateful.

Looking peaceful, Uma Thurman is relaxing for a moment between shots in New York’s Central Park where she’s filming her new series for Apple TV called Suspicion. Uma plays a successful Manhattan businesswoman whose 21 year old son is abducted from an upscale New York hotel and the action is captured on video – which goes viral. Four British citizens staying at the hotel become prime suspects, but they might not be as guilty as they appear. If this series is half as good as Nicole Kidman’s The Undoing- we’re IN! Uma and Nicole are about the same age and it’s nice to see them working steadily.

You may not recognize this actress in her 1950’s wardrobe, but she abruptly became famous because she was seen in the company of Brad Pitt. She’s Alia Shawkat, and it turned out she and Brad are just friends, but it put her on the map. Alia is costarring in the Lucille Ball film (with Nicole Kidman) now called Being the Ricardos for Amazon. She plays Madelyn Pugh Davis. Madelyn and Bob Carroll Jr were the writers of the entire I Love Lucy 180 episode series. Madelyn was one of VERY few female writers in Hollywood – certainly it was her female point of view that made Lucille Ball so funny. Let’s face it, female writers are BETTER at writing female characters. Leave it to writer/director Aaron Sorkin to acknowledge the importance of these comedy writers.

This is not a photographic head transplant – that’s Billie Eilish and her genuine physique. The 19 year old singer admits to having a “toxic relationship” with her body so she always wears baggy clothes. When a paparazzi caught her off-guard in shorts and a t-shirt, a man in the UK remarked on Twitter that she was too young to have a “mid-thirties wine mom body.” Her fans were outraged and defended her while Billie quit Twitter. Apparently she wants the last laugh because she posed for these sexy lingerie photos for British Vogue in response to the guy’s body shaming and she rightfully defends her “normal body.”

We saw this photo of Rachel Brosnahan filming on location in New York and we fell in love with The Marvelous Mrs Maisel all over again. The production design makes us swoon, and the fashions, hair and makeup work on this series is beyond perfection. They ALL deserve Emmys! Just LOOK at the curlers Rachel is wearing in her hair to obtain the perfect wavy page boy from the early 60’s! We’ve never seen these curlers, but they are no doubt totally authentic from the 60’s time period of the show. It’s little touches like this that make Mrs Maisel so deliciously original. Can’t WAIT for season 4!
