PARIS HILTON: HAPPY AT LAST?

Since her YOUNGER sister Nicky Hilton, 37, married James Rothschild in 2015, Paris Hilton, 40, has been obsessed with finding an impressive man herself. But how do you compete with a Rothschild worth $1.49 billion? Through the years, Paris has dated handsome actors, singers, and models, plus a couple of young European playboy heirs. (Did you know she dated Benji Madden in 2008?) She got engaged a few times, but tabloids believe she paid for her own expensive rings. What’s a girl to do? Paris finally settled on a family friend, Carter Reum, also 40, and he gave her a big ring. He’s educated and calls himself an entrepreneur, like Paris does, and his net worth is around 35 million. Not bad, but Paris is worth around 300 million. Carter loves publicity – he’s co-written books, appears as a guest commentator on TV, and seems to enjoy all the attention he gets with Paris. He’s a lucky guy.

GERARD DEPARDIEAU CAN DO NO WRONG?

Can’t say we’re the least bit surprised that Green Card star Gerard Depardieu, 72, has been charged with rape, but we ARE surprised that France seems to finally be taking the case seriously. It’s been bouncing around the courts since 2018, and it is, at long last, being investigated. France has NOT embraced the #MeToo movement – in fact it has been described as “paradise for sexual predators.” Depardieu is beloved in his home country despite his entitled behavior, alcohol consumption, road rage, and drunk driving. We believe that any man who would pull out a bottle and pee into it in full view of fellow passengers on a plane (because he was told the restrooms were unavailable while plane was taking off) would probably be egotistical enough to sexually assault a 22 year old actress and think nothing of it.

MEN IN SKIRTS ARE HERE TO STAY

Better get used to the idea of men in skirts, because a LOT of designers – even rather conservative ones- are showing them for Fall/Winter 2021 in London. Burberry is not known for flamboyant fashion and even THEY are promoting skirts – mostly pleated and layered – but definitely skirts. In winter, no less. They even featured skirts with athletic letter jackets like high school lettermen wear. The model in this photo looks reasonably macho with his layers and backpack, but those boots are a surprise – or are they tights…?

SAM WORTHINGTON : TAKING A BREAK FROM LOS ANGELES

We didn’t realize that Avatar star Sam Worthington (who looks better when he shaves) had such a pretty wife. She’s Lara Bingle, a model and TV presenter, (she and Sam are both Australian) – they got married in 2014 and have three sons. They sold their LA house and it appears they are moving back home to Australia, where Covid is less threatening now. Sam has theater work there and he is set to finish his Avatar sequels soon in New Zealand. The family of five spent a day in a park in Sydney.

ALABAMA BARKER: THEY GROW UP FAST IN HOLLYWOOD

Blink-182 musician Travis Barker took a break from romancing Kourtney Kardashian and treated his daughter Alabama and son Landon to dinner at Nobu in Malibu. (At first we thought he was out with another woman, but that blonde is his daughter Alabama – she’s FIFTEEN years old! A sophomore in high school!) We can’t take our eyes off Alabama – she looks so mature for her age! Makeup, nails, eyelashes, cleavage, stilettos – she resembles her mother Shanna Moakler, who was Miss USA and a Playmate of the Month. The Barkers allowed their kids on social media when they were young and Alabama already has quite a following. She’s an aspiring singer and musician- but what happened to her childhood?

NEWLYWED PAM ANDERSON INSULTS 4 EX-HUSBANDS IN ONE SWOOP

A few years ago, Pamela Anderson, 53, left her cheating soccer-player boyfriend in France and moved back home to Canada, where she has 6 acres of property on Vancouver Island. Her grandmother had originally owned the land and Pam bought it 25 years ago. (Her parents still live there) There are several homes and a dock that she has been remodeling – with the help of her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, who is also a builder. They were isolated together during the pandemic, fell in love, and got married in December. Pam seems deliriously happy – she describes her new man as “a good guy- the kind I would have met if I’d stayed home.” Then she calmly disparaged her previous 4 husbands (Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, and Jon Peters) by adding “It’s nice to be with a real man who can change a light bulb!”

MARGARET QUALLEY CREDITS FKA TWIGS FOR HER COURAGE

In December we advised Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star Margaret Qualley, 26, to reconsider her romance with Shia LaBeouf after his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual battery, assault, and verbal abuse. We can imagine Shia attempting to rationalize the situation to Margaret, assuring her that Twigs was just a disgruntled ex. But not long after that, Sia stepped up with HER allegations against Shia and others followed. Margaret finally managed to split from Shia in January (No doubt to the great relief of her mother Andie MacDowell) Margaret had not spoken about her Shia relationship until she posted on Instagram a photo of Twigs on the cover of Elle magazine, and simply captioned it: “Thank you.” ( We’re guessing she started noticing negative things about Shia’s behavior, and got out before anything bad happened… life lesson learned.

EDDIE MURPHY’S DAUGHTER GOT LUCKY

Who knew Eddie Murphy had such a gorgeous daughter? Eddie has so many kids that Bella Murphy, 19, almost got lost in the shuffle. She’s always wanted to act, so Eddie auditioned her and cast her to play his character Prince Akeem’s audacious daughter in Coming 2 America, debuting on Amazon Prime March 5. Eddie says it took almost 25 years to make a sequel to Coming to America because he was so worried that the sequel might not live up to the popular original.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

We take all forms of sexual abuse seriously, but this new face of the #MeToo movement might regret coming forward with her tale. Why? She only told half of the story and the half she left out unfortunately makes her look maniacal. During her relationship with her alleged abuser she was violent and aggressive herself and she doesn’t know IT’S ALL ON TAPE! Her then-lover had secret cameras all around his home and SHE is captured physically and verbally attacking HIM. Embarrassing. We’re betting this case will never make it to court.

GUESS WHO…..

LOOKING BACK: MY DATE WITH JEFF GOLDBLUM

Jeff Goldblum posted this photo of himself as a teenager at a pool and it reminded me of many smart but slightly nerdy guys that sat next to me in high school who were very likable, but didn’t have that “edge.” Many turned out to be as successful as Jeff. I met Jeff in Hollywood in the 70’s right after he finished his first film, Death Wish, in which he played a leather jacketed bad boy . He asked me out on a date and I was unpleasantly surprised when he turned up wearing a big African dashiki shirt. Very hippieish. I was hoping for that “bad boy” in a leather jacket. (Shows how superficial I was at the time.) We weren’t compatible, but he was fun. Since then he has become quite a snappy dresser…
