DOES TIMOTHEE CHALAMET KNOW THAT HE DESTROYED WOODY ALLEN’S CAREER?

Just can’t help but wonder if Timothee Chalamet has regrets about destroying Woody Allen’s career. Timothee probably didn’t expect his behavior to have such a lasting effect on Woody’s life. Woody enjoyed working with Timothee in his film A Rainy Day in New York, according to Woody’s book Apropos of Nothing. A mutual friend told Woody that Timothee was advised to distance himself from Woody and donate his salary from Rainy Day to charity, because it would increase his chances of being nominated for an Oscar. (He did get a nomination for Call Me By Your Name, but no Oscar.) Following Timothee’s lead, other actors in Woody’s film started backing away from Woody and donating to Time’s Up also. They were afraid NOT to. Amazon dumped the movie, scrapped releasing it, and canceled Woody’s 4 picture deal. All this happened because Woody was accused of “molesting” his adopted daughter Dylan who was living with his bitter ex Mia Farrow. Two investigations found him not guilty and NO ONE ELSE ever accused Woody of such behavior. We think he’s innocent and you will too, if you read Woody’s book. Timothee should read Woody’s book…

JENNA JOHNSON: DWTS IS A FAMILY AFFAIR

DWTS pro Jenna Johnson (she’s only 5’2”) gave her dance partner Nev Schulman a special treat – to celebrate being the first couple to get a perfect score of the season on Dancing with the Stars. She brought her adorable little dog to meet Nev and give him a sloppy kiss before practice today. So far Jenna is way ahead of her husband of one year, pro Val Chmerkovskiy and his partner Monica Aldama, in the competition.

SELMA BLAIR AND HER TWO MASKED BOYFRIENDS

Selma Blair is amazing in more ways than one. She managed to switch boyfriends in the middle of a pandemic AND a health crisis! Two years ago, Selma was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and her boyfriend at that time was Australian actor David Lyons. He was very supportive during her chemotherapy when she lost her hair, and sweet and helpful when she had trouble walking. In December, Selma started wearing a diamond ring and everyone assumed she was engaged to David. In March, she was seen arm in arm with a guy and both were wearing masks – it was assumed that the guy was David, and several websites and magazines identified him as such. But in fact, it turned out Selma and David had split, and she had gone back to a former boyfriend, actor/producer Ron Carlson. (David and Ron DO kinda look alike) Selma and Ron have been a happy couple ever since!

50 CENT AND DONALD TRUMP: TWO OF A KIND

It’s surprising how many things that 50 Cent and his choice for president, Donald Trump, have in common. Both are very wealthy, and are not above using bankruptcy to weasel out of sticky financial situations. Apparently they both hate to pay taxes and have been “negotiating” back and forth with the IRS for many years. We were also amused to learn that 50 Cent also loves to flaunt his wealth with conspicuous consumption. Years ago he appeared on MTV’s Cribs and displayed his cars- including THREE ridiculously expensive Ferraris in his driveway. It turned out the cars were NOT his (the owner griped to MTV) and Fitty had to apologize for the scam.

KENDALL JENNER AND THAT INFAMOUS GOLD TOOTH

Here’s a fad that didn’t catch on – with models, anyway. Back in 2017, Kendall Jenner was photographed sporting a big gold tooth at London Fashion Week. (It brought back the memory of a day, back in the late 80’s, we spent frantically shopping for a gold tooth on 42nd Street because we wanted to look like Willy DeVille) It wasn’t very flattering, but Kendall’s tooth started a ruckus at Vogue when they wrote about it. Some staffers labeled the tooth “cultural appropriation” (which is ridiculous because imitation IS the sincerest form of flattery!) Anyway, Vogue staffers turned on each other and accused editor Anna Wintour of insensitivity. A big fuss over nothing, right? Kendall hasn’t been seen wearing the tooth again…

THREE QUEENS IS TWO QUEENS TOO MANY

Here’s something you don’t see very often – three actresses keeping their distance and promoting their project while wearing masks! (They are either socially conscious or just don’t like each other) Joan Collins, 87, Jane Seymour, 69, and Denise Richards, 49, are all playing historically significant queens in a dramatic TV series set in medieval France called Glow and Darkness. Keep in mind, the middle ages were not pleasant times for women in general – queens at least had lush wardrobes. We saw a photo of the women in costume and their makeup looked very modern and out of place. Hopefully, the actual production pays attention to detail.

INSIDE CAITLYN JENNER’S CLOSET

One series that REALLY deserves a comeback is MTV’s Cribs. Back in the early 2000’s, we got to peek into the homes of rappers, popstars, actors, basketball players, and musicians. Some were really surprising, and others envy-inducing – like Mariah Carey’s closet in her New York penthouse. Hooray! The series is BACK and Caitlyn Jenner invited MTV to investigate her 3.5 million dollar Malibu mountain house. She has a large, well-equipped makeup table and an impressive shoe collection. (Caitlyn says size 13 Wide shoes for women are hard to find, and she has many custom made) Her episode airs tonight (Oct 26) at 8PM.

JOE ROGAN GOT A LOT OF INFO OUT OF KANYE WEST

Podcaster Joe Rogan is pleased as punch with his three hour interview with Kanye West, but it’s just another headache for Kim Kardashian. Rogan asked Kanye why he decided to run for president and Kanye replied that “a higher power called me to lead the free world!” He went on to say that the notion hit him when he was taking a shower in 2015, so it’s been percolating for awhile. At the time no one took him seriously. Rogan suggested he run for Governor of California first (like Ronald Reagan) to get some political experience. Kanye said “That would be fine – but my calling is for leader of the free world.” He went on to describe how medication for his bipolar disorder destroyed his confidence and made him “a shell” so he stopped taking it. At one point Kanye was considering a name change to Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West- WHAT would the Mrs think?

WHAT HAPPENED TO JARED LETO?

Does anybody remember when Jared Leto was a sexy, good looking guy? It WAS a few years ago, when he was more of an actor than a musician. Recently he seems more interested in touring with his band Thirty Seconds to Mars, than acting, but he HAS been cast to play Andy Warhol in a movie about his life. Since Andy was not much in the looks department, maybe that’s why Jared hasn’t been looking so hot lately. (To put it mildly) Jared posted this photo of himself decked out in Gucci head to toe, and he has never looked worse. From that topknot to the socks and bedroom slippers, Jared has managed to make us forget he was ever a hot commodity.

WHAT’S IN JENNIFER LOPEZ’S EVER-PRESENT BLINGY CUP?

Not sure if this photo of Jennifer Lopez was snapped when she was arriving at Soho House or leaving, but it’s odd to see her carrying her “blingy cup” to a restaurant. We’ve seen this cup SO many times in Jennifer’s hand at the gym, walking down the street, shopping – wherever. We imagined some health concoction inside, or designer coffee- but guess what! According to Jennifer, it’s only WATER! She’s determined to drink more water for her health… (Hey -it’s better than a plastic water bottle!)
