THE EVOLUTION OF JOSEPH BAENA

EVERY time we see Joseph Baena he looks MORE like his father Arnold Schwarzenegger, and we figured out why. Arnold is very proud of his son since he graduated from Pepperdine with a business degree. They’ve been spending long hours working out together at Gold’s Gym – Joe is Arnold’s only child interested in bodybuilding. As Joe continues to beef up, he looks more and more like Arnold in his prime. Baena says he isn’t interested in competing – being compared to his famous father would be very intimidating. He WOULD love to develop a relationship with his famous siblings but they just aren’t receptive yet…

PAMELA ANDERSON IS STILL A HOT COMMODITY

Pamela Anderson broke up with her cheating soccer playing boyfriend Adil Rami last summer, but she’s in no hurry to return to the USA. She’s pictured here at the launch of a shopping mall in Austria. Baywatch reruns made Pamela extremely popular in Europe and she’s always bombarded with financially satisfying invitations to do TV and make personal appearances – particularly at animal rights events.

AUSTRALIA IS LOADED WITH JOHN TRAVOLTA FANS

Four bombs in a row have landed John Travolta,65, on the celebrity fan-fest Comic-Con circuit in Australia. His last film, The Fanatic, failed in August, but the biggest flop of his entire career was Gotti, in 2018. Fortunately, the Grease star just had a profitable two weeks in Australia at fan conventions – charging $500 for an autographed photo or $250 for a selfie with fans. In several cities he also arranged “An Evening with John Travolta” meet and greet appearances where he talked about his career and answered audience questions. Between shows, John took his kids Ben, 8, and Ella, 19, to Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney to visit the animals.

CATCH AND KILL WILL CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE

Rose McGowan was a presenter at The Critics Choice Awards this year and we hope she got a standing ovation. We happen to be in the middle of reading Ronan Farrow’s new book, Catch and Kill, and we will never look at some people the same way. Among them, Rose McGowan. We honestly didn’t realize how incredibly brave this actress was to stand up to the most powerful man in Hollywood, the vile Harvey Weinstein. Ronan documents how she overcame her paralyzing fear despite Weinstein’s threats, the stalkers he hired, the “spies” who pretended to help her. His smear campaign derailed her career during her biggest earning years. It was more awful than we ever imagined. HER bravery empowered other women to step forward, and THAT changed everything. Ronan’s book also reveals how disgusting The National Enquirer has become…Read it!

ROD STEWART: THIS PICTURE TELLS A STORY

Rod Stewart, 74, looks irresistibly happy as he leaves the BBC studios in London and he DOES have a lot to be happy about. In September he revealed that he successfully battled prostate cancer for two years – “I’m in the clear now – I caught it early!” The “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?” crooner has been doing a series of concerts in the UK, still appears regularly in Las Vegas, and is about to start a tour of Australia, so he has a busy and financially satisfying year ahead of him.

MARK MCGRATH: FROM SEXIEST ROCKER TO HELICOPTER DAD

Sugar Ray singer Mark McGrath was voted Sexiest Rocker by People in 1998, and he was famous for avoiding marriage. He and his now wife Carin dated on and off since 1993 – until he finally married her in 2012. Certainly the birth of their boy and girl twins Lydon and Hartley in 2010 influenced him to commit. Now the rocker has been described as a “helicopter dad” who is VERY involved with his kids in whatever they do. Mark and Hartley watched Lydon play basketball in the park on Saturday.

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE CHARLIZE THERON

We’ve always thought Charlize Theron was one of the great beauties in Hollywood – but a little cool and distant. Of course, the fact that she dated Sean Penn didn’t add anything positive to her aura. But as far as acting goes, she absolutely KILLS playing Megyn Kelly in the news drama Bombshell. Her performance is so subtle and on the mark that she was not recognizable. Of course she got help from special effects genius Kazu Hiro, who created 8 totally natural looking prosthetic pieces for her face to transform her into Kelly. Theron’s voice, mannerisms and attitude are beyond perfect! She BECAME Kelly and certainly earned the American Cinematheque Award she was given last night. Can’t help wondering what Megyn Kelly thinks …

MAD GUITARIST STEVE STEVENS IS MORE THAN A MUSICIAN

Clusters of rockers from the 80’s and beyond showed up at the Ken Paves salon last night for a pop-up art show by Billy Morrison and Steve Stevens. Both artists gained fame as musicians touring with Billy Idol, who was also there. Steve Stevens and his voluptuous wife Josie (you remember her from the reality show Married to Rock in 2010) dressed up for the occasion and yes, they sold some art.

LISA RINNA’S DAUGHTERS INHERITED HER LIP OBSESSION

Lisa Rinna (and Harry Hamlin’s) pretty 18 year old daughter Amelia Gray Hamlin cannot HELP but follow in her successful mom’s footsteps. Amelia is already a model with an eating disorder who packed up and moved to New York, supposedly to attend college. (which one, nobody knows) She and her sister already have their own “athleisure” fashion collection and are being compared to Kendall and Kylie Jenner. Mom Lisa once admitted that she thinks her enhanced lips were essential to her career success. Her daughters listened.

THE JENNERS WHEN THEY WERE JUST ANOTHER FAMILY

Came across this cute photo of Bruce Jenner and his two adorable daughters Kendall and Kylie. Little did he know back then that his little girls would grow up to be rich and famous. And little did they know that their dad would become a woman. That can’t be an easy thing to adjust to, and we have to admire the girls for accepting the situation and loving their dad.
