MEMORIES OF ANNA NICOLE SMITH ON THE MENU FOR FRIDAY

Here’s a strange premise for a 2 hour TV special: (but it DID arouse our curiosity) On Friday ABC’s 20-20 is presenting “Tragic Beauty” in recognition of the death of Anna Nicole Smith on February 8, 2007, at the age of 39. She died 14 years ago and now the child she had who never knew her, fourteen year old Dannielynn Birkhead, is learning about her mother’s life. Dannielynn’s father Larry Birkhead takes her to Anna’s childhood home in Texas and places her mother frequented. They talk to Anna’s friends and dig through stored memorabilia of Anna’s. The most interesting part seems to be that Dannielynn is growing up and starting to resemble her mother.

INSTAGRAM ZAPPED MARILYN MANSON’S CAREER IN ONE WEEK

We’re betting that even Evan Rachel Wood is shocked by the power of Instagram. It was only last Monday that she posted her accusations of abuse against Marilyn Manson and his life has changed forever in a matter of days. As we write, Evan has not given any interviews- it was her Instagram claims that alerted other women who came forward with THEIR Manson stories. Dita Von Teese and Rose McGowan elegantly announced on Instagram that they were not abused in their relationships with Manson, but they fully supported Wood and others. Interviews with Manson talking about violence against women popped up. Marilyn Manson immediately lost his record label, his agent, and upcoming TV appearances. He was literally canceled in a single week. He is already claiming that his shocking and gruesome stage persona is responsible for these “horrible distortions of reality,” but he’s got an uphill battle. Do not underestimate the power of Instagram. (Personally, we were sad to hear these things about Manson – we always liked him)

The photo above is from Manson’s Instagram – seems to be his lookalike late father, many years ago

KATIE HOLMES IS MORE IRRITATED BY PAPARAZZI THAN HER BOYFRIEND IS

Katie Holmes and her boyfriend Emilio Vitolo Jr are turning the tables on the paparazzi and shooting back at them in New York. The happy couple take a lot of walks in the city and are inevitably interrupted by photographers, so they have little time alone. New York is recovering from a big snowstorm – you can still see big piles of snow on the curb above, next to the bags of trash not picked up. Ironically, in the background you can also see tables and chairs outside an optimistic restaurant hoping for diners in the chilly air.

JEFFREE STAR IS SMARTER THAN HE LOOKS

At first glance, YouTube superstar Jeffrey Star (born Jeffrey Lynn Steininger Jr) might not seem that appealing (personally, we are somewhat appalled by tall men wearing extreme makeup) but he does set a good example in one way. He worked very hard for years, and made himself a YouTube entrepreneurial success. He is now selling his cosmetic collection online to 18 million subscribers and rakes in around $4000 a day. (Imagine that many people wanting to look like him!) This photo says it all: Jeffree is in Beverly Hills sitting in his new custom pink Rolls Royce SUV that cost him over half a million dollars. Inspiring – if he can do it, so can YOU!

KAIA GERBER: AT LEAST SHE STILL HAS MILO

It’s not the same. Seems like just a few weeks ago Kaia Gerber was walking her puppy Milo and stopping for coffee with her actor boyfriend Jacob Elordi, but now she’s starting her day alone. She’s been inseparable from the 6’5” actor since September. They were seen with each other in New York and Los Angeles, and vacationed together in Los Cabos. Australian Elordi currently stars in Euphoria and also costars in Ben Affleck’s upcoming movie Deep Water. Kaia’s parents met and liked Jacob – he seemed a lot less worrisome than her last boyfriend Pete Davidson. In December, Kaia and Jacob were not seen anywhere and she’s been working out and dog walking conspicuously alone. She still has Milo to keep her company.

JUSTIN THEROUX AND KUMA ILLUSTRATE NEW YORK TODAY

We’ve all seen the summer version of Justin Theroux walking his dog Kuma – with considerably less clothing on. This winter photo says everything about New York today after 18 inches of snow. The city is not accustomed to such extreme weather, but Justin seems prepared. Paparazzi STILL spotted Justin despite only about two inches of skin on his forehead showing. Maybe it’s Kuma. Not only does Kuma have a leather jacket but he has a set of black boots to match Justin’s style. Just one question: SUNGLASSES in this weather?

RITA WILSON: BAD NEWS FOR US, GOOD NEWS FOR PFIZER

Rita Wilson and Ellen Degeneres chatted about Covid-19 on Ellen today and Rita revealed a pertinent piece of information. Rita and hubby Tom Hanks were the first celebrities diagnosed with Covid, and they announced it on March 12, 2020, from Australia where they remained in isolation for two weeks. Rita told Ellen that 9 months after her recovery she still had antibodies. BUT, two months later, Rita was tested again and had NONE! Presumably she can now catch Covid again, and needs vaccine like everyone else. This of course implies that we will probably all have to be vaccinated for Covid EVERY YEAR just like we get flu shots! Good news for the drug manufacturers…

RAY LIOTTA IS EXPANDING THE FAMILY

Ray Liotta, 66, knows how to keep his young fiancee happy. They took a walk in Beverly Hills, and ended up – guess where- at Cartier! Of course they left with a nice little bag. Ray’s pretty woman is Jacy Nittolo, 46, and they just got engaged at Christmas. Ray has a 22 year old daughter Karson with his first wife Michelle Grace, whom he divorced in 2004. Former hairstylist Jacy has four kids with her producer ex-husband, so the Goodfellas star will be adjusting to a blended family.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT


Just when we thought we’d heard it ALL in this messy celebrity breakup, it now seems like we’ve only scratched the surface! We’ve been captivated by the escapades of the male half of this couple, but it turns out the female half has some odd sexual peccadillos of her own! During her seemingly happy marriage, SHE had countless affairs with burly blue collar guys – the type that don’t shop at Brooks Brothers. While her naughty spouse was out tom-catting, SHE was trolling the Home Depot parking lot, picking up day workers to work on HER! Her refined mate knew he didn’t satisfy her appetite for working class guys, so he didn’t care about her indiscretions.

GUESS WHO!

MG KELLY GOT BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN’S WIFE AND HIS CAREER!

Thanks to his highly publicized romance with Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly appeared on Saturday Night Live for the first time this week. Megan Fox spent the week in New York with Kelly while he was prepping for the show. We can only imagine how Megan’s soon-to-be-divorced husband Brian Austin Green felt – he was back home taking care of their three young sons. (The 3 boys all have pretty faces like Megan, but they have very long hair and sometimes wear skirts) Certainly Brian must have felt some pain knowing Kelly and his wife were celebrating the musician’s TV performance. Remember, Brian aspired to be a rapper early in his career, but it never happened. We wonder if he allowed the boys to watch Kelly on SNL- it was on at 8:30 in LA…
