JACK QUAID: ROMANTIC COMEDIES RUN IN THE FAMILY

Jack Quaid, 27, definitely inherited his mother Meg Ryan’s smile, and that won’t do him any harm in his film career. The NYU grad got his first break in The Hunger Games in 2012, and now he’s starring in a romantic comedy, Plus One, at the Tribeca Film Festival. (It got decent reviews and was described as “well lit,” which means it’s not dreary and dark like so many films lately.) The story’s about platonic friends who agree to be each other’s “plus ones” during a summer full of weddings. Of course his mom Meg is the undisputed queen of romantic comedies, so Jack has a lot to live up to. Jack took his girlfriend of two years, actress Lizzy McGroder, to the premier.

JOSEPH BAENA LIVED UP TO HIS FATHER’S EXPECTATIONS


Joseph Baena is out on the town celebrating his graduation from Pepperdine University. He started life in the middle of a scandal – he was the result of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s affair with his Guatemalan housekeeper. The devastating situation was the cause of Arnold’s divorce from Maria Shriver. Over the years Arnold took an active interest in his lookalike son and not only worked out in the gym with him, but guided his education. After four years of hard work, Arnold proudly announced that Joseph earned his degree in business. Joseph, 21, says the University and people he met there changed his life forever. Above, he partied at Delilah in Hollywood with a pretty girl…

THE DOLAN TWINS HAVE A LOT OF GOOD HAIR DAYS

We found this photo of two cute guys leaving Gracias Madre in West Hollywood and the paparazzi identified them as The Dolan Twins. Who knew? Turns out they are 19 year old twins – Ethan and Grayson Dolan – from New Jersey who’ve turned themselves into comedic YouTube stars. They have millions of followers and a recent meet-up with their London fans turned into a chaotic riot and had to be canceled. These twins, who seem to have a hint of Elvis, are already big winners at the Teen Choice Awards. Good hair will get you far…

JERSEY SHORE CONTINUES TO EVOLVE – OR DEVOLVE

Every weekend deserves a dose of beefcake and here you have the cast of Chippendales at the Rio in Las Vegas. The essence of Jersey Shore seems to go on forever, and Vinny Gaudagnino is enjoying every minute of his fame. Not only is he hosting the Chippendales show for five weeks, but he has a new reality series: Double Shot at Love with DJ Pauly D & Vinny where 20 girls compete for Vinny and Pauly’s attention.

ARE HILARY DUFF’S ARMS LONGER THAN HER LEGS?

The answer is NO – but it sure looks that way in this weird photo. Part of the problem is the photographer’s odd angle, but most of the blame goes on that godawful dress. The shoulderpads and elongated sleeves make her arms look four feet long and the short ruffled skirt makes her legs look really short. Not a good fashion choice for a petite girl like Younger star Hilary Duff…

KIEFER IS HOLLYWOOD’S DESIGNATED SURVIVOR

The title “Designated Survivor“ applies perfectly to the series star Kiefer Sutherland, 52. As we all know (and he concedes) Kiefer is a bigtime boozer – who can forget that photo of him in a bar with his pants around his ankles? Kiefer is the first to admit that almost every bad thing that’s ever happened to him is because he likes to go to bars and drink. His “24” costar Freddie Prinze called him “the most unprofessional dude in the world” and hated working with him. Although he has NOT given up drinking, Kiefer still manages to get one high paying acting job after another and numerous beautiful girlfriends. Case in point: Cindy Vela, above, has been with Kiefer for five years, through think and thin -or should we say wet and dry. Kiefer has MORE than survived….

KELLY OSBOURNE LIKES HER MEN TALL, DARK, AND UNUSUAL

Kelly Osbourne has been showing off her new boyfriend Jimmy Q (real name James Quaintance) all over town for the past few weeks. Kelly loves “discovering” unique characters and her new beau is a pro-skateboarder, a model, musician, and tattoo artist. We would have guessed he was from London, but he actually grew up in “skatertown” AKA Venice, California. His unique looks do get him modeling jobs in the UK, however. What the heck, Kelly’s having fun, and Jimmy’s most evident vice so far is his constant smoking.

ROBERT DENIR0 – MORE LAID BACK THAN WE’RE USED TO SEEING

If Robert De Niro is looking a bit more scruffy and relaxed these days it just might be due to the fact that he split with his wife of 21 years Grace Hightower. Ebony magazine says that Grace kept Robert on a tight leash (which he probably needed) – she was involved in many charities and wanted him to look respectable in public at all times. That meant freshly shaved, neat haircut, and well dressed. Robert prefers to let it all hang out between movies and be himself. There were also rumors that Grace was a Trump supporter.(?) Friends agree that they are both happier since the split and Robert hardly looks like the movie tough guy he plays so well in this cozy photo with his dogs and his cute daughter Helen.

MELISSA MCCARTHY IS NOT ABOVE BARGAIN HUNTING

Melissa McCarthy got up early Sunday for the Long Beach flea market, and she must be a serious shopper because she brought her own cart. Not sure why, but Southern California flea markets are among the best in the world. Melissa pulled out a baseball cap and a fanny pack and browsed every booth. By the end of the day her cart was packed with vintage clothing, rugs, tchotchkes (home décor) art, and at least one pair of shoes. A good time was had by all

COLIN JOST STILL CAN’T BELIEVE HIS GOOD LUCK

Scarlett Johansson, 34, has never looked better! She seems deliriously happy with her current boyfriend, SNL writer and Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost. (Never underestimate the importance of a good laugh.) Colin, 36, still seems a bit stiff and reluctant when posing on the red carpet with his girlfriend of two years, but he’d better get used to it. After all, Scarlett IS the highest paid actress in Hollywood! The cool couple appeared at the lavish premier of Scarlett’s latest film, Avengers: Endgame, at LA’s Convention Center.
