MACHINE GUN KELLY IS MORE THAN JUST MEGAN FOX’ S “BEAUTIFUL BOY”

A rapper might be the LAST person you’d expect to be a great father, so Machine Gun Kelly’s relationship with his daughter is quite a surprise. Right now MGK is busy with his new girlfriend Megan Fox, but he ALWAYS finds time for his 11 year old daughter Casie. Casie was born when Kelly was only 18 years old, but they’ve maintained a close bond, and he takes her everywhere. (He also sings the praises of her mother!) When she was little, he taught Casie to skateboard, got her dance lessons, and taught her to sing. She was backstage at many of his shows and sometimes joins him onstage dancing and rapping. Naturally she adores her dad, who’s a lot more responsible than he looks…

DAMIAN HURLEY: HOW LUCKY CAN A GUY BE?

Elizabeth Hurley’s son Damian continues to lead a charmed life. First of all, he was born with his MOTHER’S good looks- in fact he’s a dead ringer for her. (It’s ALMOST creepy) Sadly, aspiring actor/model Damian never met his estranged father, billionaire Steve Bing, who committed suicide in June. But Bing left behind a note for his son, and Damian will be inheriting quite a lot of money now that he has turned eighteen. As if that weren’t enough, Damian just signed with IMG Models – the same agency that handles the stellar careers of Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kate Moss. So now he will be earning his OWN money. Damian celebrated his success by posting pictures of himself on social media.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER TO THE RESCUE

Surely it was a jolt when New York shoppers walked into the SJP shoe store on 54th St this week and were greeted by Sarah Jessica Parker herself! This SJP flagship store had the bad luck to open March 2 – right before the pandemic took over the world. After months of hibernation, the store has reopened with – no surprise- a summer sale. When word got out that Sarah herself was helping customers – the store filled up with fans and shoppers and social distancing became difficult. But everyone kept their masks on and Sarah was happy to see the store making sales. The shop features a pair of mismatched heels- one pink and one yellow satin, similar to a pair that Carrie Bradshaw wore in Sex & the City.

MEG RYAN: TO FLIP OR NOT TO FLIP?

Meg Ryan wanted her last split with John Mellencamp in November to be absolutely final, so in February she left New York and bought a house in Montecito, California, not far from Prince Harry and Meghan. Like Cameron Diaz, Meg has pretty much dropped out of Hollywood and she’s concentrating on flipping properties like Diane Keaton. She paid over five million for her new 4000 sq ft “farmhouse” because she “fell in love with the view.” She decided it’s also a nice place to isolate during the pandemic. Whether she will re-do the place and sell it, or hang around awhile, remains to be seen…

VANESSA HUDGENS: AS SWEET AS SHE LOOKS?

Did you know that Vanessa Hudgens was one of the stars in the HIGHEST GROSSING film of 2020? She can thank Covid-19 for walloping the boxoffice and thrusting Bad Boys for Life (luckily released Jan 17) to the top of the heap. High School Musical star Vanessa has the face of an angel but she likes to be perceived as naughty sometimes. Above we have a photo of Vanessa after a workout – did you happen to notice those little chains dangling from her shirt? One could jump to the conclusion that they were attached to some sort of piercings, but they aren’t. Vanessa likes to combine body chains with almost everything she wears- from swimsuits to evening gowns. She looks so good in them that she’s given the body chain business a boost.

SHARON STONE IS WORRIED SICK ABOUT HER SISTER KELLY HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19

It’s nice to see celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Sharon Stone pleading with fans to wear masks and commit to social distancing. Jennifer had a friend hospitalized with Covid-9 and Sharon Stone’s younger sister Kelly, who also has lupus, is in the hospital and gasping for breath. Sharon says “One of you non-mask wearers did this.” (Kelly’s husband is also in the hospital with Covid-19) Worried Sharon is dead serious when she warns fans to “wear a mask for yourself and others!”

IRELAND BALDWIN: THE DOWNSIDE OF HAVING A GORGEOUS MOTHER

Sure, it’s nice to be genetically blessed by having Kim Basinger for a mother, but it can create some insecurities, according to Ireland Baldwin, 24. Ireland recently celebrated six years of NOT having eating disorders on Instagram. When she was a teen she suffered from body issues including anorexia and bulimia. Now she admits: “It wasn’t worth turning down so many sides of fries!” When she first started modeling, Ireland says she was very insecure and never felt thin enough. Food became a big problem. It took some work, but she finally got a grip on it and is able to enjoy her life now. She wants other young girls to know “You can do it too!”

LUKA SABBAT: A BAD INFLUENCE?

Luka Sabbat, 22, has no shortage of confidence. He was born into a family of fashion and show business and considers himself an authority on both subjects. The Grown-ish actor doesn’t hesitate to criticize the clothing OTHER people wear and he’s always right. He makes impressive money as a fashion influencer on his Instagram account with millions of followers- mostly from his generation. Here’s a guy SO sure of himself that he doesn’t hesitate to buy women’s shoes (size 41) if he likes them. Above, he’s turning on the charm for a cute girl in Los Angeles with no regard for distancing or masks…

ARNOLD IS LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER DESPITE FAMILY DRAMA

Arnold Schwarzenegger knows how lucky he is. It seemed like the end of the world when Maria discovered he had a child with their housekeeper and filed for divorce back in 2011. But they parted in a very civilized manner (they never bothered to finalize the divorce) and Maria remained friendly to keep the family together. The kids like it this way and they all convened to celebrate dad’s 73rd birthday. Patrick posted this photo on Instagram.

PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN HAVE THE LAST LAUGH

The formerly royal couple Harry and Meghan have finally purchased a piece of California and it’s a winner. Their new 18,000 sq ft estate in Montecito has five and a half glorious acres and SIXTEEN bathrooms! The property was once priced at 26 million, but Harry and Meghan scooped it up for $14,650,000. All the usual frills are included – home theater, tennis court, formal gardens, guest quarters, fully equipped gym, five car garage, and the basement has a playroom with a vintage Wurlitzer jukebox and pinball machines. Little Archie will be thrilled with the large fantasy playground for kids (bottom left in photo.) Top all this off with the delicious California weather, and it appears the runaway royals made the right move.
