THOM BROWNE DOESN’T TAKE HIMSELF TOO SERIOUSLY

It’s a holiday and that means time for some fashion fun. We’ve been hooked on Thom Browne ever since he collaborated with Brooks Brothers and livened up the store beyond belief (It hasn’t been the same since he left.) We can’t take our eyes off this delightful fashion photo of a really tough looking model with tribal tattoos and piercings, wearing a pleated skirt and a Christmas sweater! A brilliant and humorous combination…

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE ROSE MCGOWAN A JOB?

The woman largely responsible for the #MeToo movement seems to be blackballed in Hollywood for speaking out. Yes, Rose McGowan IS highly opinionated and that might scare a lot of people, but women owe her bigtime for nailing Harvey Weinstein and potentially improving the lives of women in Hollywood now and in the future. Rose admits that she misses performing and feels her career was stolen by Weinstein. She predicted that when she named names, job offers would become scarce, and she was right. Rose (above on the beach in Mexico) still looks great – will someone please give her a decent acting job?

TWO SIDES TO THE BRITNEY SPEARS STORY

For years we’ve been hearing about Britney Spears’struggle to remove her father as the person in control of her court conservatorship. She has even announced that she refuses to work as long as her father is in charge of her life and career – and she hasn’t. Jamie Spears had always seemed like an okay guy until a former business partner described a confrontation. New York restauranteur Bobby Ochs partnered with Britney to open a restaurant called Nyla at the Dylan Hotel in 2002. A few days before the grand opening, Jamie barged into Ochs office with a man and woman and he appeared to be high or hungover – “bouncing off the walls!” Jamie was yelling in front of managers and chefs that the man and woman with him would be hired as managers for Britney’s restaurant. He also wanted the chefs replaced and a new menu! He declared “Nobody is going to ruin my little girl’s place!” It turned out Jamie had met the couple the night before in a random NY bar he’d been drinking in. Ochs explained to Jamie that this could not happen and he became unhinged – screaming in his face, nearly getting physical. Ochs managed to calm him down and Jamie later apologized, but Ochs said he’s not surprised Britney doesn’t want him running her life, “I can’t imagine him running anything!” Maybe Britney’s been right all along.

LILY COLLINS LOVES HER FATHER -NO MATTER WHAT

You’ve got to feel a little sorry for Lily Collins – just as she’s been finding some success with her Emily in Paris series, her father, singer Phil Collins, is grabbing headlines because of his embarrassing relationship with his ex-wife. Phil’s ex Orianne Cevey refuses to move out of his Miami Beach home and has already moved her new husband IN. She claims Phil promised the house to her. This questionable woman went on to claim that Phil has stopped bathing and brushing his teeth and he SMELLS. While they were married Orianne had a 17 month affair with a male stripper she hired from an escort agency and she bought him outrageously expensive gifts and vacations. She also claimed Phil was abusing pain killers. (He has had alcohol problems in the past.) Lily posted this photo – she is bravely trying to retain a relationship with her father, but it’s not easy…

THE ROCK’S STORY IS NOW A COMEDY SERIES

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has gotten NBC very excited about the new comedy series about his early life called “Young Rock.” The half-Black and half-Samoan actor has had a very successful and unique career as an adult – he went from football player to wildly popular wrestler to famous actor. But this series details his youthful years – from the age of 8 thru his teen years. As a kid, he moved around a lot (New Zealand, Hawaii, North Carolina etc) and he went to three high schools. His father was a famous wrestler and his mother came from Samoan royalty. Johnson credits the setbacks and adventures he had growing up with making him the person he is today. Love this photo of Dwayne as a smug 20 year old football player. Above, lookalike Uli Latukefu plays The Rock as a young guy.

SOFIA VERGARA PROVED WENDY WILLIAMS WRONG – SO FAR

Sofia Vergara wants the world to know that five years after she married Joe Mangeniello, she’s still madly in love with him. She posted this photo of them picnicking for their anniversary. Keep in mind, while Sofia remains as beautiful as ever, Joe’s looks HAVE considerably changed since they wed. He now has a grey beard and a royal blue mohawk! The haircut is for his role as the one-eyed assassin Deathstroke in HBO Max’s Justice League. And Wendy Williams predicted when they married: “It won’t last”…

HARRISON FORD LOVES TO FLY AND IGNORES HIS OWN CARBON FOOTPRINT

It’s amazing that Harrison Ford is an activist and advocate for reducing carbon footprints, yet he continues to fly his own private planes. Ford lectures about climate change, but his own carbon footprint is considerable since he flies so often. (Private planes produce MUCH more carbon per passenger than commercial flights.) Certainly his wife Calista Flockhart will be somewhat relieved if Ford, 78, ever gives up flying. He’s had a number of close calls and a few years ago was forced to crash land his vintage plane on a golf course. Ford just flew back from Amherst College where he picked up his son Liam, 19, for Thanksgiving break.

DELILAH BELLE HAMLIN: I WAS BORN WITH THESE LIPS!

Model Delilah Belle Hamlin, 22, seems to have inherited her mother Lisa Rinna’s addiction to lip fillers. Delilah posted this photo of herself on Instagram, but she vehemently denies having any lip enhancement and insists her lips are natural. She says she knows how to pose to make her lips look bigger. We fear that she and her sister Amelia have grown up watching their mother pump up up the volume for so long, that they think it’s a necessity for success in Hollywood.

LADY GAGA IS GETTING THAT KARDASHIAN LOOK

Hate to mention it, but it seems like ever since Lady Gaga came out with her cosmetic collection Haus Laboratories, she has started looking more and more like a Kardashian. Extremely glamorous and artificial. Hopefully she will ditch the fakery in the movie role she just landed opposite Brad Pitt. She’s costarring with Brad in a thriller called Bullet Train, and the premise is interesting. Five hired assassins find themselves on a bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops. Their missions are related to each other – who will make it off the train and what awaits them at the terminal? Remember, Lady Gaga got an Oscar nomination for her last movie A Star is Born.

LIL NAS X WINS OVER THE STARBUCKS CROWD

Lil Nas X devised a method to spread holiday cheer and promote his music at the same time. He dressed up as a futuristic Santa Claus (in a pandemic) inspired by one of the characters in the extravagant video for his new song Holiday. Today Lil Nas X arrived at a Starbucks in West Hollywood in a flashy silver DeLorean followed by paparazzi. He got in line with the locals and proceeded to surprise the other customers with free coffee and snacks. Proof that you never know what’s going to happen in Hollywood!
