BORAT IS BACK FROM KAZAKHSTAN

Those of you who are distressed at the idea of Keeping Up with the Kardashians wrapping in two years are in for a pleasant surprise. While you were busy fretting over Kim and Kanye, Sacha Baron Cohen has been furtively filming a new Borat movie! In the new one, Borat supposedly thinks the 2006 film made him famous, and he’s now a recognizable celebrity. He’s forced to wear disguises to continue his interviews and investigations of American culture. Sacha has been spotted secretly filming in a few odd places in the US, and now the movie is finished and ready to release (on HBO? HULU?) If it’s HALF as funny as the first one, we’ll be happy!

NELLY: NOT AS DANGEROUS AS HE LOOKS

Nelly has never been the gangster rapper that some people assumed he was. The fact that he’s appearing on Dancing with the Stars should validate that fact. We met Nelly over 16 years ago when he filmed part of a music video at our house. He was slim and cute and surprisingly well spoken- we got the feeling he wanted to be more of a bad boy than he really WAS. (In those days rappers were mostly from the east or west coast – not the midwest, like Nelly.) Fast forward to today – he’s a fierce looking muscleman and he has raised four kids of his own…and he DANCES.

VANESSA PARADIS: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IMPORTANCE OF A SMILE

Vanessa Paradis has always been adorable, and she’s always been (gently) teased about the gap in her teeth (Years ago, model Lauren Hutton made such gaps perfectly acceptable.) Vanessa, 47, shrugs off comments with “I was born this way – why change it?” and her ex-partner Johnny Depp never complained. We’ve seen many photos of Vanessa smiling with her mouth shut, but at the Deauville American Film Festival she must have been particularly happy – and had a BIG smile. We can’t help thinking she’d look a whole lot better with some cosmetic dentistry. What do YOU think?

SARAH JESSICA PARKER ESCAPES THE CITY

The Hamptons, NY - Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick pictured enjoying Labor Day weekend at the beach in The Hamptons! Pictured: Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker BACKGRID USA 5 SEPTEMBER 2020 USA: +1 310 798 9111 / [email protected] UK: +44 208 344 2007 / [email protected] *UK Clients - Pictures Containing Children Please Pixelate Face Prior To Publication*

Sarah Jessica Parker took some time off from working at her SJP shoe store to spend Labor Day weekend on the beach in the Hamptons. She and Matthew Broderick look like any other married couple on the sand (are those people on that busy beach really six feet apart?) Their daughters were frolicking in the water nearby. The Sex & the City star was able to swim, relax, and read, pretty much unnoticed.

DEMI LOVATO: ONE FOR THE ROAD

Demi Lovato continues living on cloud nine with her affectionate fiancé Max Ehrich. They’ve been caught smooching in a wide array of locations, but this time they really made us laugh. They left dinner at Nobu holding hands and hopped into their car and started passionately making out just inches away from their driver, who tried his BEST to maintain his composure…

JANE FONDA IS RIGHT ABOUT TOM HARDY

We don’t agree with Jane Fonda on a LOT of things, especially the fact that she seems to take on the lifestyle and beliefs of whatever man she is with. But we think she is absolutely right about Tom Hardy. Jane says Tom Hardy is the new Marlon Brando, and it IS an astute observation. Jane is correct to point out that Tom’s movie Legend, in which he played gangster twin brothers, deserved a LOT more attention and awards when it was released. We especially loved him in that retro movie because he had no facial hair and he has a face worth looking at! Yes, he is reminiscent of young Brando, and maybe someday Tom will star in the Marlon Brando story.

EVEN A MASK CANNOT DISGUISE LUKAS HAAS

Masks can be an effective cover-up to avoid the paparazzi, but they don’t work for Lukas Haas because his EARS are always a dead giveaway! We remember Lukas’s breakout role in Witness with Harrison Ford. Lukas played the witness to a murder – he was an Amish child and the black hat fit perfectly over his prominent ears. Haas is quite a successful actor- he’s appeared in around 40 films, but we always wondered why he didn’t get his ears pinned back. It’s not a difficult procedure. But if he did it- would he have had MORE success or – less?

TIK TOK’S NICK AUSTIN CAN BARELY KEEP UP WITH MADISON BEER

We’re guessing that TikTok star Nick Austin, 20, doesn’t know what hit him since he started hanging with Madison Beer, 21. She’s a paparazzi magnet and seems to love them as much as they love her. Note Nick’s idea of a low key undercover look (hoody, hat etc) while Madison can’t help smiling at the paps while they have lunch. Nick is a lucky guy because singer Madison is loads of fun. We met her at Barneys a couple of years ago when she got very excited about our Bedlington Terrier Elvis. At the time she was with Brooklyn Beckham, who seemed a bit overwhelmed by Madison’s vibrant personality. She also happens to be a knockout- a natural beauty. We predict she will end up WAY more famous than her boyfriends…

JASON MOMOA TURNS HEADS ON MELROSE AVENUE

Anybody in need of cheering up – take note. Nothing livens up the day more than a Jason Momoa sighting. Just when you thought nothing fun was going to happen today, Jason showed up at Vitalist Food for a snack with some pals. Maybe his workout buddies. Anyway, they were at the fashionable end of Melrose Avenue and when they finished at the food place they crossed the street – Jason in his flip-flops. Certainly all eyes were upon him.
