JUSTIN BIEBER: PIMPLES TEMPORARILY INTERRUPT AN OTHERWISE WONDERFUL LIFE

No WONDER Justin Bieber has been hiding under hoodies for the past few weeks. It’s almost refreshing to be reminded that celebrities get acne too. Ironically, nine years ago Justin, now 25, was a spokesperson for the acne medication Proactiv, but in those days the babyfaced singer didn’t seem to need it much. He’s been spending a lot of time in the gym lately – maybe that has something to do with the flare-up- or perhaps a medication. So maybe his life isn’t as perfect as you thought it was…

ELTON JOHN: MOVE OVER, JUSTIN BIEBER!

Granted, Elton John’s hair looks really good, but his taste in fashion is starting to rival our Worst Dressed Celebrity, Justin Bieber, who also favors lavender. Elton and his husband David Furnish (also questionably attired) hosted his AIDS Foundation Midsummer Party in France dressed like THIS. We remember when Elton used to shop flamboyantly at Maxfield and purchase almost everything he could find in his size. Not any more…

FAYE DUNAWAY ALMOST GOT AWAY WITH IT

One thing we never get tired of is Faye Dunaway stories. Faye was just fired from a Broadway-bound play, Tea at Five, in which she played a later in life version of Katharine Hepburn. Faye was frequently very late for rehearsals, couldn’t remember her lines, and she refused to allow anyone to LOOK at her while she rehearsed (including the director) or wear the color WHITE because it “distracted” her. She left angry, rambling voicemails for the creative team in the middle of the night and berated the hair and makeup people – often throwing objects like mirrors and combs at them. One of her last acts was to order staffers at the theater to get down on their hands and knees and scrub the floor of her dressing room! After that, Faye was relieved of her job and we wonder if the spirit of Joan Crawford has taken control of her…

AUSTIN BUTLER: MORPHING INTO ELVIS?

Ever since it was announced that Austin Butler was cast to play Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming movie, he and his girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens have been followed and bombarded by paparazzi, day and night. And coincidentally or not, Austin seems to LOOK more like Elvis every day…

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE TO MAKE VIN DIESEL LOOK MACHO?

Vin Diesel’s stuntman Joe Watts (above) is fighting for his life after a safety cable broke when he leaped from a balcony on the UK set of Fast & Furious 9 and he plunged over thirty feet and landed on his head. He is now in an induced coma and the prognosis is not good. Back in 2002, another of Vin Diesel’s stunt doubles was KILLED in a paragliding accident on the set. What is WRONG with these filmmakers? Is thrilling those boneheaded teenage viewers and enhancing Diesel’s badass reputation REALLY more important than keeping people alive? If actors had to do their own stunts this insanity would not happen.

DAVID SPADE IS GIVING LATE NIGHT A KICK IN THE PANTS

Above, David Spade is being ushered into Good Morning America where he talked about his new show on Comedy Central called Lights Out with David Spade. It starts at 11:30 – the same time that Jimmy Kimmel and everybody else airs. (Also the same time as David’s alma mater SNL) Spade and several other guest comics will analyze the pop cultural news of the day (not politics) along with an occasional skit. His buddies from SNL have promised to guest on the show and we will definitely tune in – absence of political commentary is very appealing, and we love Spade’s sarcasm…

RAMI MALEK’S BEST FRIEND IS STILL HIS TWIN BROTHER SAMI

There’s something about twins – especially celebrity twins- that we find irresistible. Rami Malek has an identical twin brother Sami who is a tad more conventionally handsome than Rami. Bearded Sami is a school teacher and says he was not totally surprised when Rami won an Oscar for Bohemian Rhapsody because “he killed it.” The brothers are still close, and were seen hanging out in Soho despite the NY heatwave…

DOES ANYBODY WANT TO LOOK LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER?

Justin Bieber is now officially the Worst Dressed Celebrity, and the fact that he has a clothing collection makes the title even more surprising. Take a look at this photo of Bieber in his ridiculous puffy pants and matching lavender tee shirt walking next to his friend (bodyguard?) dressed in jeans, and tell us – which guy you would rather date? Bieber’s “Drew” clothing line (his middle name) knocked off Kanye’s Yeezy fashions because they feature only one color. (Kanye knocked off designer Virgil Abloh) Fortunately, Justin’s beige corduroy hoodies etc, are unisex so his female fans will buy them – we seriously DOUBT that many guys will want to look like Bieber!

INTRODUCING: THE PLASTICS OF HOLLYWOOD TALENT AGENCY

Okay, here’s a threesome walking on Hollywood Boulevard that makes heads turn – and for good reason. Rodrigo “Human Ken Doll” Alves in the center is familiar, but we’ve never seen the guy next to him before. Turns out he’s Luis “The Elf” Padron, and he spent $80,000 on plastic surgery to look like a fantasy elf. Note the ears – and he has very strange eyes. The blonde woman is Marcela Iglesias, and she runs the Plastics of Hollywood talent agency – apparently you can hire these people for parties and photoshoots…

KATHY GRIFFIN DID THE RIGHT THING

Kathy Griffin’s career nightmare should never have happened. Okay, so she had a small lapse in taste with that photo of a fake Trump severed head. Comics make mistakes too. It wasn’t terribly funny, but we’ve seen MUCH worse. Why did people overreact in such a gigantic way? Internet trolls made a big issue out of nothing – and self-righteous celebrities followed them like sheep. Other comics seemed afraid to stand up for her. Kathy should never have been blacklisted and she shouldn’t have lost so much work. It’s time we stopped being so easily offended and judgmental. Let’s save our outrage for people who deserve it – like R Kelly. Kathy’s no dummy – she made a film documenting her awful situation and yes, we are looking forward to seeing Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story.
