Tennis champ Maria Sharapova, 33, got engaged this week to British businessman Alexander Gilkes, who has ties to the royal family. But the real news here is the fact that she posed for photos with OUR Bedlington Terrier Elvis! Maria loves the business world herself and she was promoting her wearable designer weights (on her wrists) and candy line Sugarpova, with photos taken at our house. She is 6’2” and quite beautiful – Elvis was enchanted…

Jersey Shore’s Pauly D has a whole new look, so naturally The Sun tabloid called in a plastic surgeon to figure out what he might have had done to change his face. Often women change their hair color or cut to distract attention when they have had plastic surgery. So it’s interesting that Pauly just grew a beard and dyed his hair blond before showing off his new look. The cosmetic surgeon decided that Pauly must have had an eyelift and fillers, along with “abdominal etching” on his abs (not shown here.) The Jersey Shore gang LOVES spending their money on cosmetic procedures – the girls have had a lot done, and Ronnie had lipo on his six-pack abs via The Doctors show also.

Emily in Paris star Lily Collins and her boyfriend, filmmaker Charlie McDowell, took a chance and adopted this little pooch last December. They “took a chance” because their relationship was still fairly new, and it would be awful to split up and both want custody of the dog. They named him Redford (there IS a resemblance) and happily they got engaged in September, so little Redford has a happy home and two doting parents.

Alec Baldwin is outraged about charges that his wife Hilaria has been passing herself off as Spanish, but we wonder if she fooled HIM too! Years ago, when he first started dating her, she was described as a Spanish yoga teacher named Hilaria Thomas and she had a pronounced accent. Neither she nor Alex EVER attempted to correct that information, so it was assumed to be accurate. It turns out she was born Hillary Hayward-Thomas (both parents were American college professors without a drop of Spanish blood) and grew up in Massachusetts. In 2011, her parents retired to Majorca, Spain. Hilaria and Alex have five children- ALL with Spanish names! By all accounts, Hilaria is an exceptional mother and excellent yoga instructor- so her desire to be perceived as Spanish is even more disconcerting! Do her children think they are Spanish? We’ll let Alec figure that out.

Wow – it turns out Shia LaBeouf could have avoided all this career damage created by FKA Twigs’ sexual battery lawsuit. Before anything became public, Twigs attempted to settle the lawsuit quietly because she DIDN’T WANT TO RUIN HIS CAREER. All she asked of Shia was that he make a donation to a domestic violence victims charity, and seek psychological treatment so he wouldn’t harm any more women. He did NOT agree, so the suit was revealed and he lost his coveted role in Olivia Wilde’s new thriller Don’t Worry Darling. Shia had already clashed with the cast and crew, and Olivia promptly replaced him with Harry Styles. Career prospects are now dim. Shia’s new lawyer worked for OJ Simpson and she is playing up Shia’s “honesty” in admitting to abuse and alcoholism. But of course, alcoholism is no excuse for violence.

Certainly Andie MacDowell was more than a little worried when her youngest daughter Margaret Qualley was dating Pete Davidson. Pete had a problematic reputation with women but he didn’t seem dangerous. Since she appeared in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Margaret has been a hot commodity in Hollywood- she’s made 14 films in the last 7 years. Fast forward to Margaret’s latest boyfriend: of all people, Shia LaBeouf. Shia and Margaret met while filming a music video with her sister a few months ago. Suddenly their romance is noteworthy because Shia is being sued by his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs and charged with sexual battery, assault and relentless abuse. To make it worse, another Shia ex, singer Sia, came forward and said she had a similar relationship with the volatile actor, who admits he’s an alcoholic who mistreats women. Little chance of Andie having a peaceful Christmas…

It’s IMPOSSIBLE to ignore Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron’s shocking behavior! We were flabbergasted, when in the middle of a raging pandemic (especially virulent in Los Angeles) Kirk Cameron organized yet ANOTHER mask-optional singalong protest against coronavirus restrictions! Actor-turned-evangelist Cameron is not the same since he became a born-again Christian at the age of 17. It happened when Growing Pains was very popular and Kirk started complaining about “inappropriate story lines.” He offended just about everyone on his show with his anti-science, anti-evolution, and anti-gay views. No surprise his career fizzled. Now he uses what’s left of his fame to host super-spreader events outside and in churches. He passionately believes he is smarter than the rest of us.

A disgruntled eBay shopper told me this story: Sarah Jessica Parker joined other celebrities and donated her time to raise money for the Fashion Scholarship Fund on eBay. Her offer was a fifteen minute personal zoom conversation, another 45 minute chat about wine, and a case of her Invivo X wine. Bidding started at $1000, and our shopper excitedly bid the minimum. Time went by and Sarah noticed that another celebrity deal sold for only $1000 and she was worried that hers would only pull in that much (she had only one bid.) Sarah abruptly switched to BUY IT NOW for $10,000 to up the ante. Our bidder was very disappointed and couldn’t afford that much. He pondered “Is 15 minutes of gossip and a drink with Sarah Jessica Parker worth $10,000?” Remember it IS for charity…

There is nothing Paris Hilton loves more than a huge loud party, loaded with her friends and assorted handsome strangers. Anytime there’s a holiday, Paris is ready to dress up and party non-stop. Paris’s LA home is always lavishly decorated with millions of sparkling lights inside and out, for Christmas. This year she posted clips on social media from her fabulous parties in the past, featuring her friends and celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Diddy. She wrote “Every year I throw an epic Christmas party at my house – I’m sad that I can’t this year – here’s hoping for 2021! A few days ago Diddy threw a festive party for his mother’s 80th birthday and seemed to ignore all Covid recommendations – including masks and social distancing. Was Paris shading his bad behavior? It IS nice to see Paris showing some common sense.
