BRIGITTE NIELSEN: THEY SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST

Observers were doubtful, to say the least, when Red Sonja star Brigitte Nielsen, who happens to be 6’1,” took up with Italian bartender Mattia Dessi, who stands 5’6.” He’s also 15 years younger than she is. But not only has their unlikely marriage lasted 16 years, but they had a baby last year. The couple endured over 10 years of in vitro fertilizations, but Brigitte finally gave birth, at 54, to a baby girl named Frida. Brigitte already has four grown sons from other relationships. Above, they enjoyed an afternoon at the Farmer’s Market.

AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON COULD FILL ELVIS’S BLUE SUEDE SHOES – OR NOT

Young actors in Hollywood with a “certain look” are panting to get a chance to audition to play Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis film. Tom Hanks has already been cast as Elvis’s manager Colonel Parker – we didn’t realize the entrepreneurial Dutch-born Parker started out as a carnival barker. Of all the young actors under consideration, we think Aaron Taylor-Johnson would make a great Elvis. (He was the sexy hillbilly in Nocturnal Animals) But we might be in for a surprise – Luhrmann really wants to hire a “new face” for the important role. Could be a life-changer…

EJ JOHNSON : A HAPPY FASHION VICTIM

Shoppers on Rodeo Drive don’t dress up that much these days, (usually sneakers and jeans) but EJ Johnson, 27, never misses an opportunity to doll himself up. Ever since he had gastric sleeve surgery in 2015 and lost a LOT of weight, The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills reality star really enjoys shopping, and he has the biggest collection of designer handbags of anyone we know…

ANNE HECHE AND THOMAS JANE: MADE FOR EACH OTHER?

Here’s a couple we can enjoy seeing together. They both have interesting histories. Anne Heche, 49, and Thomas Jane, 50, costarred on HBO’s Hung as a divorced couple. Jane played an underpaid Detroit schoolteacher who became a male prostitute for the money. Jane also implied that he had done some real-life hustling of his own as a teen in Hollywood. (We had heard that rumor and were delighted when he owned up to it.) Anne had a notorious crazy-time romance with Ellen DeGeneres that ended badly. Anne and Thomas (both are now divorced with kids) were longtime friends – they started holding hands a few months ago, and now it’s a full-blown romance.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS STILL GLAD SHE LEFT “THE VOICE”

Christina Aguilera seemed very relieved when she finally left The Voice last year after six seasons. Like it or not, the show DID give her career a boost. Since she left, Christina released an album, Liberation, which didn’t exactly burn up the charts. She’s also been touring with mediocre success and performed at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas up until June. She returns to Vegas in September, but for now she’s in Europe and turned up at the Jean-Paul Gaultier show in Paris as his muse. She shared her front row seat with an assortment of characters…

JACK OSBOURNE: BEING SINGLE AGREES WITH HIM

Jack Osbourne has had plenty of ups and downs when it comes to his health. He’s wrestled with drug and alcohol abuse, weight problems, and he was diagnosed with MS in 2012. He married Lisa Stelly that year and they had three daughters. They divorced this year and Jack has been eating right and working out – and he looks slimmer and healthier. Jack took his daughters Pearl and Andy out for ice cream, but he didn’t indulge…

BILL AND TED FOUND THAT PHONE BOOTH AGAIN

Hard to believe it’s been THIRTY YEARS since the first Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure was released – but that’s not stopping Keanu Reeves, 54, and Alex Winters, 53, from bringing their dim-wit characters back to life as middle aged suburban dads. How the phone booth/time machine has been worked in to the new script (which took ten years to evolve) remains to be seen. The time traveling friends are still aching to get a hit song – hence the title: Bill & Ted Face the Music. We don’t like Keanu’s dark dyed hair but we have to give him credit – he must be taking a huge pay cut to make this film, considering his recent box office success.

KESHA HAS FINALLY FOUND HER LOOK

Kesha knocked the audience dead at the LGBTQ LoveLoud Music Festival in Salt Lake City, and much of her success was due to her new hair color. We were never fond of her wavy blond extensions and her taste in fashion has always been perplexing, at best. She did look great for awhile when she left rehab, but then she started experimenting with lip enhancement. THIS is the new and improved Kesha – the dark hair is perfect for her. She has never looked better and now she’s singing “What if rich, straight white men didn’t rule the world anymore?
