BEST DRESSED AT THE EMMYS: DAN LEVY

Designer Thom Browne must be delighted today because multiple Emmy winner Daniel Levy of Schitt’s Creek was the talk of the Emmys, thanks to his kilt suit. Not many men could pull off this look as well as Levy did. He was head to toe – including socks and boots, in Thom Browne, and the suit almost overshadowed his Emmy wins. No female attire at the event came CLOSE to causing as much conversation as Levy’s kilt. The kilt got a lot of airtime because Levy won an astonishing THREE Emmys – Best Supporting Actor, Best Comedy Series Writer, and Best Comedy Series Director for Schitt’s Creek. The show racked up nine awards total and set a new record.The kilt should have gotten one too.

JOHNNY DEPP SUPPORTS HIS ERRANT FRIENDS

Nice to hear that Johnny Depp is now a producer – he worked with documentary filmmaker Julien Temple on Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan. Fans of punk may recall Shane was led singer of The Pogues, most famous for “Fairytale of New York.” Johnny has always been drawn to overindulgent irresponsible characters like MacGowan, who is notorious for his struggles with heroin addiction and alcoholism. At one time, he was even kicked out of his own band for behaving badly. But his music is wonderful- incredibly touching and sensitive, loaded with Irish melancholy. Johnny appeared at the San Sebastian Film Festival to promote the documentary and said he enjoyed the scarcity of “Hollywood types” at the event.

FLASHBACK TO 1986: KYLE MACLACHLAN

Kyle MacLachlan posted this photo of himself and Laura Dern taken at a party in 1986. They met that same year when they costarred in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and were together until 1989. He often fell for his co-stars, because when Kyle starred in Lynch’s TV series Twin Peaks in 1990, he started a romance with Lara Flynn Boyle. Kyle and Lara look so fresh and innocent in this photo – but why is he carrying that jumbo shoulderbag? Not to mention that hat…

JON HAMM: TAKING ANOTHER CHANCE ON LOVE

If you’ve ever had a dearly loved dog die, you know that unbearable feeling of devastation. You do NOT want to live through that again. But to never get another dog to avoid that pain would be cheating yourself out of SO much love and happiness. Jon Hamm’s dog Cora died in 2017 at the age of 14, and broke his heart. It took him awhile, but recently Jon weakened and adopted a four month old pup that he named Splash. The puppy was so exuberant that he had been returned twice by adopters, saying he was too energetic. The I Stand With My Pack rescue where Jon got Splash posted this sweet photo of the happy pair at Jon’s home.

CHINA TAKES A SERIOUS LEAP INTO THE WORLD OF FASHION

When gossip is scarce – there’s always new fashion to fill in the gaps. Many observers were pleasantly surprised by new designer C.T. Liu’s fashion photos from New York Fashion Week. We’re accustomed to Tom Ford knock-offs from China, but this collection, called C+Plus Series, from China is quite original and we are impressed! The designer aims to dress the urban career woman and the clothing has a modern sensibility with a twist.

KANYE SAYS: GET CLOSER TO GOD AND YOU’LL GET RICH

Apparently the only person that could convince Kanye West to take his meds is God – or Jesus Christ himself, so he continues to spiral out of control. It might be time for Pastor Joel Osteen to start backing away from Kanye, although their working together has been mutually beneficial. It looks good for an evangelical preacher to embrace a person of color, and Kanye has learned a lot about using religion as a tax exemption. Kanye continues to insist that he is “the greatest artist that God ever created” and claims that his wealth is the result of becoming closer to God. Kanye’s latest stunts- peeing on his Grammy, ranting about record company contracts etc, can only make us (and Kim) wonder what Kanye – and God- have in store for us next.

GAVIN ROSSDALE’S ONE TRUE LOVE

Gavin Rossdale has a LOT of trouble being faithful to his women, but his devotion to his cute dog Chewy has never changed! Since Gavin and Gwen Stefani split in 2015, (he supposedly had a long term affair with their nanny) Gavin has been seen with a large number of attractive women. But his romances never seem to last. Chewy, however, is photographed with Gavin every week and they are often seen smooching. Gavin’s band Bush is planning and hoping to tour next year, and we bet Chewy will be along for the ride.

BRADLEY COOPER AND IRINA SHAYK: SOME PARENTS GET IT RIGHT

Little Lea Cooper, 4, doesn’t know how lucky she is. For some kids, it’s tragic when their parents split up, but Lea’s parents, model Irina Shayk and actor Bradley Cooper, did it the right way. They separated amicably and share 50/50 custody of Lea. When Irina is working the runway, Bradley takes care of Lea, and when Bradley is filming, Irina is in charge of Lea. Both parents can work without guilt and spend special time with their daughter when they’re free, so Lea has no shortage of parental attention. It also helps that Bradley and Irina maintain their friendship and have even been seen hugging – no bitterness there. Of course, Lea is also fortunate to have inherited her mom’s good looks!

WHO DOESN’T WANT TO PLAY MADONNA IN HER LIFE STORY?

Needless to say, we were startled by Madonna’s announcement that she is co-writing and will direct her own life story onscreen. (Elton John was satisfied with being a “consultant” on Rocketman!) Her co-writer is the Oscar winner Diablo Cody, so the untitled screenplay could be very interesting. She was inspired to do this because she heard a script about her life called Blond Ambition had been floating around Universal and was horrified (it was never produced.) Madonna insists “Nobody knows what I know and I have seen better than me!” The BIG question IS: WHO will Madonna cast as HERSELF? …Any suggestions?

DID DANCING WITH THE STARS USE CAROLE BASKIN AS “BAIT” TO ATTRACT VIEWERS?

Certainly the most unexpected contestant – and object of curiosity- on Dancing with the Stars this year is Carole Baskin. You might remember Joe Exotic accused his rival Carole of murdering her wealthy ex-husband in the Tiger King documentary miniseries. The husband went missing in 1997 and was never found. Carole and her ex-husband ran the Big Cat sanctuary in Florida. She was definitely the most controversial dancer this season, and to tantalize viewers, she appeared last on the opening show. Too bad she got the lowest score. (Her awful costume and hair didn’t help!) During the show, her missing husband’s daughters aired a 50 second ad in Florida offering $100,000 for information about their father’s disappearance. Carole dismissed it as a “huge publicity stunt” but it makes you wonder – why would that family want “publicity?”
