JODIE COMER DOESN’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING THE RENT

Jodie Comer, 26, got lucky. Little did she know when she was cast as Villanelle in the BBC series Killing Eve, that she would be an overnight sensation and BAFTA award winner. Jodie and her costar Sandra Oh were BOTH nominated for Best TV Actress, but Sandra had already won plenty of awards in the USA. (Killing Eve also won a BAFTA for Best Drama Series.) We love this idiosyncratic series – the female characters are SO deliciously written, with a surprise around every corner. It’s given a much deserved career boost to Sandra as well as Jodie – both are getting offers right and left. We hate to see this series ever end…

WHAT DO VICTORIA BECKHAM AND QUEEN ELIZABETH HAVE IN COMMON?

Victoria Beckham always looks like a runway model when she walks out of her NY hotel. How does she do it? Notice that her cute outfit is unencumbered by a coat – she’s not carrying a handbag, an umbrella or anything else. Not even a phone! Rather like Queen Elizabeth. Apparently she has a security man to carry everything she needs!

NOT THE SAME OLD HOWARD STERN

Howard Stern looks pretty great arriving at Good Morning America to promote his book Howard Stern Comes Again. Well he SHOULD look good – he’s probably the most successful radio personality of all time and happens to be worth 650 million dollars. You’d never guess it by listening to his show on Sirius – he does an awful lot of complaining (he hates to see photos of himself for one thing) – he doesn’t like traveling, and you never see him driving expensive cars. His new book reveals that he is riddled with regrets, but therapy has made him a better, less selfish, person. Actually we prefer the new, not so egotistical, Howard.

CRISS ANGEL IS GETTING HIS ACT TOGETHER

Las Vegas illusionist/heavy metal magician Criss Angel, 51, has had a tumultuous career, but his home life seems to have settled down. He’s been married and divorced twice, with multiple girlfriends and lawsuits in between, but now he’s reconciled with his second wife, Shaunyl Benson. Their five year old son Johnny has been successfully fighting a rare form of leukemia and Criss just made a generous donation to the Cure 4 Kids foundation. He and Shaunyl recently had another son, Xristos and they seem to be living happily unmarried ever after.

NINA DOBREV MUST BE DOING SOMEONE A FAVOR

We decided that Canadian actress Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries) probably has an up and coming designer friend who begged her to wear this creation and be photographed in it. She must have been too polite to say no, because this is the silliest look we’ve seen in a LONG time. This woolly looking dress with leather and leopard trim (those shoulder wings!) is incredibly awful with no flattering or redeeming features.

PROOF THAT TYRA BANKS CAN MAKE FASHION MISTAKES

It’s a comeback – Tyra Banks is in New York happily promoting her Sports Illustrated 2019 swimsuit cover – she last appeared on the magazine cover in the late 90’s. Tyra retired from modeling in 2005 to become a TV mogul, hosting the incredibly popular America’s Next Top Model, now in its 18th season. Today she made TV appearances with her magazine wearing THIS. We love the color, but that stiff ridged neckline and puffy top is making her look several sizes larger than she hopefully is. Even models need advice sometimes.

SERENA WILLIAMS MARRIED THE RIGHT GUY

After last night’s glamorous appearance at the Met Gala, Serena Williams spent the day in Manhattan with her doting husband Alexis Ohanian and their cute 20 month old daughter Alexis Jr. They did a little shopping and took a walk in Central park. Thanks in part to her helpful husband, Serena has been able to actively pursue her tennis career without ever spending a full day away from their little girl.

NAOMI CAMPBELL: STILL SIZZLING THE DAY AFTER

While a lot of New York celebs are nursing hangovers today, sleeping late, or racing to the airport, Naomi Campbell is up bright and early tending to business. She got a lot of attention last night at the Met Gala, not just for her glamorous attire, but also because she had a man next to her fanning her all evening. An assistant, we presume. Naomi has a checkered history with assistants. She does look fresh and fabulous today in her carwash skirt and sneakers.

IS THE MET GALA SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL?

Are we crazy or is the Met Gala turning into a vulgar display of self-indulgence? Each costume seems to be bigger, longer, more elaborate and MORE EXPENSIVE ! How LONG can a train be? How many exquisite feathers can be hand sewn onto a gown? If you attempt to calculate the cost of most decadent gowns, the result is financially STAGGERING. Besides being difficult to manage up the stairway entrance to the Met, how awkward must these get-ups be while trying to socialize at the party? Ezra Miller had a clever idea – he held an amazing mask of his own face, but even HE had a mile long train. Model Cara Delevingne, above, had fun without screaming for attention – she painted stripes on her legs to match her dress. How did this fun fashion event turn into a “look at me- I spent more money than you did!” contest?

FAST & FURIOUS STAR LUDACRIS COULDN’T HELP LOOKING GOOD AT JOHN SINGLETON FUNERAL

The sad event of John Singleton’s funeral today was made slightly more bearable by the appearance of Ludacris. We don’t get to see The Fast and the Furious star dressed up all that often and he looks quite handsome. John Singleton directed Ludacris in 2 Fast 2 Furious in 2003. We didn’t realize that Ludacris (Christopher Bridges) studied music management at Georgia State University before he became a successful rapper. He founded The Ludacris Foundation in 2002 to inspire youth to realize the importance of education.
