Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

BRAD PITT AND LEONARDO DICAPRIO: TAKE YOUR PICK

In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio plays an actor in a career slump and Brad Pitt plays his stunt double/best friend. They are both struggling in an ever-changing Hollywood in 1969, so the clothing, cars, and sets, are highly nostalgic. Which leading man do you prefer? Brad is 55, 5’11” tall, and worth around 240 million. Leo is 44, 6’ tall, and worth 245 million. (Of course Leo’s single and has no kids, Brad is divorced and has 6 kids.) Above, the movie premiered in Cannes.

PAM GRIER LIKES BEING IN CHARGE

It’s always fun to see Pam Grier pop up unexpectedly, and this time she has a new series. Pam, of course, made a name for herself in those blaxploitation movies like Coffy and Foxy Brown back in the 70s. In the 80’s she played assorted character roles, but has been working steadily in TV and film through the decades. She’s dated a lot of high profile guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Freddie Prinze, Richard Pryor, Don Cornelius, and Wilt Chamberlain, but she has never married and has no children. A VERY independent woman! Right now she’s promoting her new series for ABC, Bless This Mess. It’s about a city couple (Lake Bell and Dax Shepherd) who move to Nebraska for a peaceful life and don’t find it. Pam was cleverly cast as the local sheriff.

HILARIA BALDWIN: DO BLONDES HAVE MORE BABIES?

Alec Baldwin’s wife Hilaria, 35, has never looked better – turning blonde definitely agrees with her. Certainly it helped lift her spirits after a recent miscarriage. Alex and Hilaria have four children under the age of six (Alex also has daughter, Ireland, with ex-wife Kim Basinger) and Alex, 61, is content with five kids, but he suspects his wife has other plans…

PAMELA ANDERSON DOESN’T CARE WHAT HER FRIENDS THINK

Or her family, for that matter. Pam Anderson had been living on the French Riviera with her French soccer player boyfriend Adil Rami, until they broke up last September. Pamela reasoned that she never expected the romance to last forever and her friends and her sons were happy to spend more time with her. They thought her boyfriend was rather possessive. But despite Rami’s partying ways, the couple reunited in March and the relationship is hotter than ever. Pam DOES love going to his soccer games and she enjoys living in France. Rami is 18 years younger than Pam and he’s talking marriage, but Pam has been married three times and so far, she’s not listening…

SELMA BLAIR GOT A NEW SET OF WHEELS

Selma Blair looks adorable on her new Alinker walking bike – she’s on her way to get coffee at Alfred’s with her boyfriend David Price and their little dog. The bike has no pedals, but it stabilizes Selma, who has MS, and keeps her moving on days when her balance is questionable. Regardless of health problems, Selma always seems to have an abundance of good looking boyfriends.

PROOF THAT THE MET GALA HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND

This is SIX year old actress Lexi Rabe – she plays Millie Bobby Brown’s character as a child in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. She’s posing with her costar Tyler Crumley at the movie premier in Hollywood, but what’s noteworthy is the crazily abundant and fluffy train on her EVENING GOWN! What do you suppose inspired this cute child to dress like a wealthy woman? And what’s next – hair extensions, waist cinchers, and false eyelashes?

BRITNEY SPEARS IS WELL ENOUGH TO SHOP

Britney Spears seems to have landed a pretty good boyfriend this time around. Sam Asghari has never embarrassed her, and he’s always seemed very protective. He visited her in rehab and gets along with her family – and also happens to be extremely good looking. Of course, Britney is introducing Sam to new things – like the joy of shopping for bargains at the Camarillo Premium Outlets discount mall. No Barneys for these two…

JIM PARSONS HAS A WHOLE NEW LOOK

Jim Parsons looks like a million bucks as he says goodbye to The Big Bang Theory after twelve seasons. Today he looks like the multimillionaire that the long running hit series made him. The hour long finale seemed to satisfy just about everyone, and Jim starts filming The Boys in the Band this summer for Netflix.

CHARLES MELTON : A HIGHLY DECORATIVE NEWCOMER

The Sun is also a Star is actually a little (or a lot) on the sappy side, but the main characters are dazzlingly photogenic. (It’s also well lit – our current gripe about Netflix is how dreary their cheaply lit series are – everything is too dark to appreciate.) Yara Shahidi is already an established TV beauty, but her love interest in the movie, Charles Melton, is new to us. “Sun” is basically a series of close-ups of these adorable actors, set in New York. So what the story lacks, the visuals make up for. Charles Melton’s role as Reggie on Riverdale is bound to expand exponentially after this movie is released. Suddenly, he’s a hot commodity.

MEG RYAN HAS A SECRET

Meg Ryan may LOOK like she’s turned off by John Mellencamp’s chainsmoking in this photo, but apparently she is NOT. They’ve been together off and on for over seven years and since last November, officially engaged. In all the photos we’ve seen of them together, he is very often smoking. How does she tolerate all that that nicotine? We’ve heard that Meg is a secret smoker herself, but is careful NOT to be photographed.
