EVERYBODY SHOULD HAVE A MOTHER LIKE JENNIFER GARNER

We are always astonished at what a loving and caring mother Jennifer Garner seems to be. And she’s a MOVIE STAR, to boot! Regular everyday moms are rarely as attentive to their children- Jennifer walks or drives her three kids to school every day and picks them up after school. When she’s not available, their father Ben Affleck does the job. She also escorts them to and from church every Sunday. These lucky kids must really feel loved. It also illustrates Ben Affleck’s recent comment that his divorce from Jennifer is the biggest regret of his life.

Above, Jennifer kisses Seraphina and Samuel as she tucks them into the back seat.

THE INVISIBLE MAN IS NO MATCH FOR ELIZABETH MOSS

How great is it that the star of the new Invisible Man movie is a WOMAN in this updated version? And it’s SO timely – Elisabeth Moss plays a woman tormented by her sociopathic but brilliant and abusive ex-boyfriend. He’s an inventor who fakes his own death and leaves her his fortune so he can stalk her and manipulate her life when he is invisible. Of course no one believes her appalling stories. The film already has good reviews and is not only Time’s Up relevant but really scary.

THE INEVITABILITY OF DESIGNER FACE MASKS

Face the facts – society is headed in this direction: face masks will become a necessity if you plan to leave the house, and they might as well look good while they are saving your life. Fendi already had this silk mask on the market for $270 long before the Coronavirus struck, so they are a step ahead. Off-white has a rather plain black mask available for $98. All these manufacturers need to do is update their masks with powerful germ filtering lining material. Fashion Week in Milan ended badly due to the encroaching virus. We can imagine many designers up all night preparing fabulous face masks for Paris Fashion Week…

DIANE KRUGER KNOWS THE SOFTER SIDE OF NORMAN REEDUS

Diane Kruger’s relationship with Norman Reedus has always been fascinating – he looks like a rough-around-the-edges biker at best, and former model Diane seems so much more refined and fashionable. But they fell in love when they costarred in the movie Sky in 2015 and now they have a baby daughter. Appropriately, Norman, who stars on The Walking Dead, also has a motorcycle travel series called Ride with Norman Reedus. He looked a bit out of place today shopping in the exclusive Melrose Place neighborhood with Diane, but apparently opposites DO attract – she describes Norman as “gentle.”

ROBERT DE NIRO MET HIS MATCH IN SHERYL LEE RALPH

Sheryl Lee Ralph is a longtime favorite of ours and she brings to mind a funny story. Back in the 90’s when we gossiped for Star magazine we got a late night call from a security guard source who worked at an exclusive New York hotel. He was laughing as he said “Robert De Niro is here and he’s having a tantrum in the lobby because they won’t let him visit someone upstairs!” It seems this hotel was SO fancy they didn’t allow nighttime visitors to go upstairs unless the person they were visiting came to the lobby and escorted them up! De Niro was outraged and furious “Don’t you know who I am!” Security wouldn’t budge, and eventually DeNiro’s tryst-mate came down in a chic bathrobe to get him – and it turned out to be Sheryl Lee Ralph! (They costarred in the 1992 movie Mistress) When we printed this story, Deniro’s lawyer called to complain bitterly about the “fake” story and tried to get me fired, but didn’t sue. He also tried to get the security guard fired. A few years later we ran into Sheryl at an event and reminded her of that story– she laughed out loud and admitted – “Oh yes, that was me!”

MILAN ACCESSORIES FOR MEN: FACEMASKS AND PLASTIC GLOVES

Milan designer Phillip Plein has decided that men will be wearing their possessions such as credit cards, cash etc across their bodies on a chain. And it’s not a bad idea to stash some rubber gloves and a face mask in those little boxes. Milan is under siege from coronavirus which has exploded in a nearby small town. Models and fashionistas are rushing to catch flights OUT of the city before worse things begin to happen…

IRINA SHAYK’S CATWALK RETURN MARRED BY CORONAVIRUS

Looks like Irina Shayk doesn’t want you to know how much fun she’s having in Milan during Fashion Week – she’s covering up on her last day. Irina’s been back at work modeling for all the shows in Europe and she’s happy to hang out with her friends again. No doubt her ex Bradley Cooper is at home babysitting their two year old daughter Lea. They’re sharing custody now so Irina can work again. The only drawback for Irina was the coronavirus scare in Milan that shut down some of the scheduled shows. Models left town in a hurry…

GERMAN FANS NEVER GAVE UP ON JOHNNY DEPP

German fans absolutely mobbed Johnny Depp when he premiered his new film Minamata at the Berlin Film Festival. Looks like Johnny is doing a decent job of resurrecting his career. Instead of playing a debauched self-indulgent character (like Hunter S Thompson in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,) Depp’s Life Magazine photographer in this film is a real-life hero. Depp is producer, and his character exposed the horrible impact of industrial pollution in a Japanese town in 1971. He did the world a favor by documenting exactly what toxic mercury poisoning did to a small and helpless fishing community in Life, thereby stimulating the examination of corporate greed.

FEARLESS RAY DONOVAN TAKES HIS CHANCES ON STREETS OF NEW YORK

Ray Donovan star Liev Schreiber, 52, hopped on a scooter to weave in and out of NY traffic – he was in a hurry to make it on time to a haircut appointment in the city. Hopefully he will survive this risky trek because outraged fans have demanded that the recently canceled Ray Donovan series return for a more fitting ending after seven seasons…

ANGELYNE HAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT

We imagined that billboard icon Angelyne was furious when she first learned that Gary Baum had written an expose about her life for The Hollywood Reporter a few years ago. Baum spent months researching the article and revealed that Angelyne was born Renee Goldberg in Poland, to concentration camp survivors. The much talked about article spilled all of Angelyne’s secrets, but eventually she realized that it had made her even MORE famous for being famous! Now she’s executive producing the Angelyne series for Universal so maybe she won’t have to sell t-shirts and merchandise out of her Corvette trunk at Pavilions parking lot any longer. From the looks of this photo of Emmy Rossum, who’s playing Angelyne, the series looks like fun – they even got the pantyhose right!
