LONG TIME NO SEE: ANNALYNNE MCCORD

The FX series Nip/Tuck was on TV around ten years ago but we clearly remember gorgeous AnnaLynne McCord because she reminds us of Farrah Fawcett. It turns out she has been surprisingly active with a wide range of charities – she volunteers for cancer and Alzheimer fundraisers and is a speaker and activist discussing violence and sexual abuse of women. She also spent a few years with Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell but they split last year. Tonight she managed to look great in spite of that totally goofy one-puff-shoulder dress that looked equally awful in the 80’s!

CHRIS BROWN MIGHT BE MOVING TO YOUR NEIGHORHOOD SOON!

Pity Chris “guns n’drugs” Brown’s Tarzana neighbors. He has found ways to torment them both day and night. His upscale neighbors have griped about Chris and his buddies racing around and loudly revving up cars and all terrain vehicles on their street, plus late parties and loud music. Don’t forget about that hour police stand-off three years ago when a female partygoer accused him of threatening her with a gun. The street was alive with cops and helicopters for a long time. In fact, the first year he moved into his house, the police were called five times with complaints. So Chris must have expected backlash when he published HIS ADDRESS and invited everyone online to his huge yard sale. Exactly WHERE the “designer” clothing on sale came from is still a mystery, but legions of potentially rowdy fans are lined up for their 15 minute no-phones-allowed shopping spree. Chris‘s mom is the cashier. We predict that Chris is planning to move soon…

SIZE MATTERS: KANYE WEST AND KIM KARDASHIAN

Kanye West is along for the ride in New York where Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are appearing at the New York Times DealBook Conference. Kim and Kris were interviewed about the growing role of media influencers in the fashion business. (The family’s combined number of followers is 600 million!) They are bombarded with offers to promote items on Instagram and talked about the process of accepting the right ones. Kim seems to have had her lips freshly plumped for the occasion and we are always amused by the fact that Kanye’s clothing gets BIGGER each time we see him (XXXL?) while Kim’s clothes get smaller and tighter. Those open toe sandals must be chilly in New York…

OOPS! WHAT IS BRITNEY SPEARS BOYFRIEND UP TO?

Britney Spears’ boyfriend Sam Asghari might have some ‘splaining to do when Brit sees this photo. Sam and a very attractive young woman had lunch together at Bristol Farms today and paparazzi surprised them on their way out to Sam’s car in the parking lot. Sam has that “deer in the headlights” look on his face but we doubt if he was up to no good. His companion could easily be a training partner, and Bristol Farms is NOT exactly a romantic trysting place.

GEOGRAPHY IS WHAT BROKE UP MEG RYAN AND JOHN MELLENCAMP

Meg Ryan looks like she’s making the best of being single in New York. She and John Mellencamp, 68, just split up for the second time after being engaged for a year. John has implied that Meg wants to get married, but for him, three marriages is enough. We think he gave her the engagement ring to keep her happy for awhile, but never actually intended to wed. Fact is, John really doesn’t want to live in New York where Meg resides. He TRIED to like New York, but he admits he doesn’t want to leave Indiana. Does he realize what a good catch Meg is? She even put up with John’s chainsmoking…

TYLER THE CREATOR: A NON-THREATENING RAPPER?

Here we go again with fashion madman Tyler the Creator. He knows how to get attention – he appeared in the slickly dressed crowd of celebrities at the LACMA gala dressed like THIS! The golf hat and khaki shorts are wildly inappropriate and got him a lot of attention. We have never seen a rapper courageous enough to dress like a nerd – and not a gold chain or diamond in sight! Most noteworthy are the Mary Jane shoes!

NICK CAVE’S PERSONAL TRAGEDY

Can’t remember the last time we saw goth-rocker Nick Cave with his wife, designer Susie Bick, and his son Earl,19, so it was nice to see them at the LACMA Art & Film Gala. We didn’t realize that the family survived an awful tragedy four years ago. Earl’s twin brother Arthur was only fifteen when he experimented with LSD, became disoriented, fell off a cliff and died not far from the family home in the UK. Susie was so distraught she nearly gave up her fashion business, but she says it was her work that eventually helped her heal. Nick says the experience changed him and his music forever.

WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON WITH KEANU REEVES AND ALEXANDRIA GRANT?

For months now, Hollywood’s most mysterious bachelor Keanu Reeves, 55, has been frequently photographed with successful artist Alexandra Grant. She provided the visual art for his two books of poetry and their friendship has apparently evolved. They started appearing together at book-related events and became such close friends that they were seen going to dinners and to all kinds of art and fashion related occasions. Alexandra, 46, is getting Keanu out of the house for a change! Keanu admits nothing, but when is the last time you saw Keanu hold hands with ANYONE? And in a three piece suit!

ARETHA FRANKLIN INSISTED THAT JENNIFER HUDSON PLAY HER IN LIFE STORY

This is an early peek at Jennifer Hudson playing Aretha Franklin in the biographical drama Respect now filming in Harlem. (Actually Aretha herself was involved in getting the movie made up until she died last year.) Jennifer is filming a scene set in the 1960’s with Marlon Wayans, who plays her first husband Ted White, described as “the slickest pimp in Detroit.” Aretha married him when she was only nineteen and he became her manager. Jennifer and Marlon were about to film a scene in a car where her feet don’t show – that’s why she can get away with wearing those Ugg booties…

WHOA- JUSTIN BIEBER WEARS $700 CROCS

Justin Bieber, 25, must be exhausted because he spent last night giving out snow cones to trick or treaters who came to his house. (Among the crowd of kids was the Beckham family with Harper, dressed as Billie Eilish. After all that excitement, Justin appeared today riding his bike while getting yet another IV infusion of vitamins. Or so he says. For someone in the clothing business, Justin’s personal apparel continues to disappoint, and those $700 Balenciaga crocs aren’t helping any.
