Now here’s a pair of exes that REALLY like each other. Sarah Silverman got her star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood and guess who was master of Ceremonies? Her now- married ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel, that’s who. Jimmy and Sarah were famously together for seven funny years and finally broke up in 2009. Sarah jokes “I slept with him when he was chubby!”

And we’re betting she’s getting just a teensy bit tired of hearing about it constantly. People’s Sexiest Man choice, Idris Elba, took his fiancée Sabrina Dhowre to a British Vogue event and people were congratulating the delighted Elba all evening. On their way out, paparazzi loudly called attention to the Sexy Man and it appears that Sabrina will be happy when the whole thing blows over..

Robert Downey Jr has always had a sartorial edge, even during the darker periods of his life when he was in and out of courtrooms facing drug charges. Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s Robert had some crazy times,(remember when he staggered into the wrong house and fell asleep in the kid’s bedroom?) but he always looked better than the average actor. Baseball cap addicts Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Bieber could take a tip from Downey. He was photographed in this jaunty blue suit shopping alone in New York clothing stores. Imagine that! – an actor who actually shops BY HIMSELF.

No WONDER Russell Crowe has been looking so bloated and awful for the past year – he’s been fattening up to play a monster! Specifically, Roger Ailes in a series for Showtime. Ailes was the predatory boss at successful Fox News for 20 years who forced female employees to wear skirts and heels every day. Dozens of women accused him of sexual harassment and huge quantities of hush money changed hands to maintain the misogynistic culture at Fox. The brave women who finally took him on were considerably better looking than Ailes.

We haven’t seen Meg Ryan onscreen for some time, and that’s because she is now aiming for a career in directing and producing. Meg has been pitching movie and series ideas to studios and one seems to be paying off. SNL’s Lorne Michaels loves her original idea for a series called The Obsolescents and he’s working with her developing it as an NBC mystery/comedy series. The Sleepless in Seattle star will produce, contribute writing, and maybe star. If she appears on the show, it’ll be Meg’s first TV series since As the World Turns in the early 80’s.

Netflix is going to take home the Oscar for Best Foreign Film this year – Alfonso Cuaron’s Roma is an unexpected MASTERPIECE! We can’t say enough good things about it. This is the story of the director’s memories of his childhood in the early 70’s in Mexico City. His upper middle class family has beloved servants and these young women are considered to be part of the family. It is their story we are drawn into. And “drawn into“ is no exaggeration – almost from the first scene we feel as if we are part of the family living this story. It’s a rare and wonderful connection, perhaps partly due to the fact that most of the cast are non-actors working without a script. An astonishing achievement.
Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg left P Diddy’s birthday party this weekend together in this vehicle. It’s not often paparazzi get a peek INSIDE a celebrity’s private van – or whatever this is. Note the bountiful selection of junk food on the upper shelf. There’s also a lot of what appears to be men’s clothing – for a new look mid-party? An ordinary cooler sits on the floor and the whole interior seems to be red and black velvet. We’re guessing this is Snoop’s custom transportation – he looks quite at home…

If this is Sweden’s idea of Goth, we want nothing to do with it. The Girl in the Spider’s Web is a movie ostensibly about women (most of them horrible people) produced, written and directed entirely BY men FOR men and it is just as absurd as you would expect. All the female characters think and behave exactly like men. There is a sorry lack of plot and instead, an abundance of the mindless car chases and explosions that men love so much. The intelligent and mysterious tech genius Lisbeth Salander character has been reduced to a violent superhero. One interesting note: Lisbeth ’s girlfriend is played by transgender model Andreja Pejic. The rest of the film is dark and dismal, with diminutive Lisbeth (played by Claire Foy) trouncing groups of large men by using weapons and violence instead of her brain power. Previous Dragon Tattoo movies relied on Lisbeth OUTSMARTING men, not decimating them. You will walk out of this movie feeling dreary and depressed.
It’s easy to make assumptions when observing this outfit that Paris Jackson wore to the LACMA Film Gala. First, the gown is obviously Gucci and also WAY too covered up and serious for whimsical Paris. She lightened up the rather mature and elegant frock with flashy Gucci sneakers. A nice touch. We imagine that huge boxes of Gucci clothing (among other labels) are sent to Jackson FREE, in hopes that she will be photographed wearing them. Since she became an important “it” girl, Paris does not have to spend much of her 8 million dollar a year allowance from her father’s estate on clothing.
