DOES ANGELINA JOLIE KNOW WHAT A FEMINIST IS?

Angelina Jolie identifies as a feminist, but when she got married to Brad Pitt she didn’t have a bridesmaid because she admitted that she didn’t have a single female friend! This week she wrote an ESSAY for Time magazine, oddly titled “Why Girls Deserve Love and Respect on International Women’s Day.” Apparently she thinks that establishing herself as an attentive mother to her daughters illustrates that she is supportive of other women. We have always wondered WHY Angelina has no female friends – we’re guessing it’s because she never TRIED. Can a woman with no female friends really be trusted?

In her peculiar essay Angelina mentioned that two of her daughters have been hospitalized with health problems – above, she brought pillows for Zahara and Shiloh to sit on when they all went to the movies today

ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE BRADLEY COOPER

What a great dad Bradley Cooper is! He shares custody of daughter Lea with his ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk, and seems to take great pleasure in spending time with his little girl. Instead of passing her off to a nanny or pushing her around in a stroller, Bradley chooses to walk with his daughter and teach her how to ride a scooter. And he doesn’t hesitate to give her a few kisses in public….

PAULA ABDUL: WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK – MAYBE THIS YEAR!

Just because you’re cute, doesn’t mean you can get away with dressing like a clown and not be called out for it! Paula Abdul has kept her youthful looks and figure, but something horrible happened when she went shopping for an outfit to wear to the Power of Love gala in Las Vegas! What WAS she thinking? There is nothing right about this tacky, ruffly, too-short, glittery monstrosity! It looks like an Ice Capades costume from the seventies. And those tired extensions aren’t doing her any favors, either. Oh, and the matching feathery SHOES! Almost beyond belief…

CHRIS ROCK: A LOUSY HUSBAND BUT A NOT-SO-BAD FATHER

Chris Rock took his daughter Zahra, who is about to turn 16, out to lunch and shopping in Soho. Rock divorced his wife Malaak in 2015 and admits he was a cheater. It’s interesting that when they broke up Chris moved out of their New Jersey mansion, but NOT to a swinging bachelor pad in the city – he bought another house around the corner so he could be close to his kids and share custody! (Ben Affleck did the same thing when he divorced.) Chris also fought an expensive battle in court to share custody of his three girls. Must be fun to have Chris for a father…

RODDY ALVES: “IT’S HARD WORK TO BE A WOMAN”

He once identified as a “human Ken doll” but Roddy Alves felt more like a Barbie and now he’s having all his male plastic surgery reversed. Alves recently survived having his adam’s apple removed, his hairline lowered, and “facial feminization” surgery including a shaved jawline. His nose has almost disappeared, but Roddy is having fun shopping in the women’s department. It now takes him two hours to get dressed to go out in the evening…

JOHN KRASINSKI AND EMILY BLUNT KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING

Who knew The Office star John Krasinski would turn out to be such a creative writer AND director? Emily Blunt knew. They’ve been together for 11 years and the first time they worked together was doing A Quiet Place. It was a huge success and now he’s written and directed A Quiet Place Part II. Against all odds, the new film is getting considerable praise and viewers are scared stiff.

John and Emily are in New York promoting Part II

SIMON COWELL WALKS TALL IN HIS ELEVATOR SHOES

Men who wear elevator shoes and the shoes they wear have always been a source of fascination. Simon Cowell is obviously not happy about his height (he claims to be 5’9”) and he’s been augmenting it for years. He’s quite secretive and buys expensive custom made shoes that have lifts inside and built up heels. Simon’s been wearing exactly the same style of pointy toe shoes for YEARS, and tops them off with extra long wide leg pants or jeans that cover them up. That explains why his style hasn’t changed for the last 25 years…

JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME STILL HAS THE MOVES

People do funny things when they see paparazzi at the airport. John-Claude Van Damme doesn’t run for cover – he does a karate kick! In fact he did a whole series of moves – much to the amusement of passers-by. He seems to have cleaned up his act – back in the early 90’s we often wrote about his peculiar behavior in Star Magazine. He frequented a Brentwood drugstore with his questionable prescriptions in those days, and once he was ordered to leave the store for having extremely noisy sex in the bathroom with an unidentified woman! Quite a crowd had gathered listening and laughing outside the bathroom when he was unceremoniously ejected. With customers staring, the embarrassed pair did a walk of shame out the front door.

BRADLEY COOPER AND IRINA SHAYK : THIS IS CIVILIZED PARENTING

Bradley Cooper and his model girlfriend Irina Shayk found the secret to a successful split when it comes to kids. They each assume custody of their little girl Lea, 2, when the other is working, and Lea spends most of her time in New York. When Lea was first born, Bradley was working nonstop and Irina had to put her modeling career on hold to care for their baby. She wasn’t happy and that contributed to their break-up. Now they’ve divided the childcare, and Irina just returned from Fashion Weeks in Milan and Paris. Bradley spent the weeks bonding with Lea and her scooter. All three had lunch together in New York today.

AT LEAST NICOLAS CAGE HAS CLEAN HANDS

Hot on the heels of his quickie Las Vegas divorce, Nicolas Cage popped up with a new younger girlfriend. Nic’s last (4th) marriage happened during a boozy Vegas weekend and imploded four days later – Nic claimed he was “too drunk” to marry. His new girlfriend is Riko Shibata who looks barely legal, but is, in fact, 26 years old. She’s obviously concerned about Nic, 56, catching coronavirus, so she cleaned his hands with sanitizer after they left a New York restaurant – and before they held hands…
