JODIE COMER PUTS MALE MOVIE CRIMINALS TO SHAME

When it comes to crime thrillers, they are always dominated by men and repetitious in their violence. Unless the writing is exceptional, there are few surprises – certainly no delightful ones. Killing Eve changes everything. The female characters are both amazing and relatable- every one of them. The men are definitely supporting characters. We had never heard of English actress Jodie Comer until this series, and now we will never forget her. She must be seen to be believed. Sandra Oh is the smart and perfect opposite to Jodie’s twisted but fashionable character. This is the suspenseful crime series with a surprise around every corner, that women have been waiting for. Don’t miss it. Season 2 is here.

GIOVANNI RIBISI: TWO MORE SCIENTOLOGISTS

Giovanni Ribisi is pictured here taking a walk in Los Feliz – not far from the Scientology center that he’s closely connected to. Recently he and his girlfriend, designer Emily Ward, had twins – third generation Scientologists. Giovanni is a twin himself – his twin sister Marisa recently divorced another famous Scientologist, Beck. Hopefully Emily will fare better than Giovanni’s last wife – the British model Agyness Deyn. Agyness was the hottest thing in the modeling world before 2010 when she hooked up with Ribisi. She disappeared from the public eye. They divorced in 2015 and now Agyness is pursuing an acting career.

WILLIAM H MACY DODGED A BULLET

Can you IMAGINE what’s been going on at the home of Shameless star William H Macy and his wife Felicity Huffman since the college admission cheating scandal broke? For unknown reasons, William was not charged and he’s probably been waiting for the other shoe to fall. So far Felicity has pled guilty and could still serve up to 10 months in prison, but most likely less. Since prosecutors consider the amount of money involved in the crime, Felicity’s $15,000 is significantly less than Lori Loughlin’s $500,000, so things are looking grim for Loughlin. Macy celebrated his freedom by stocking up on plants and potting soil at his local nursery.

KENDALL JENNER: SHE’S GOT THE CADILLAC WALK

As if the world needed another reason to envy Kendall Jenner. Thanks to her extremely successful career on the catwalk, Kendall can indulge her hobby of collecting flashy vintage cars. What better way to celebrate success than with big fat shiny vintage American cars? (we love them too) Among the cars in her garage today are a two tone turquoise and white 57 Corvette Stingray, and a 69 red Mustang convertible. But today she is driving our personal favorite – her lilac 60s Cadillac El Dorado (that’s when cars had NAMES, not numbers!) Those gorgeous fins! We imagine that huge bench front seat is heaven for the driver!

ROBERT DOWNEY JR DOESN’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT

Robert Downey Jr must have a very roomy closet for all his man purses. It seems like every time we see him, Robert is wearing a cross body man-bag or clutch bag of some kind. He must have quite a collection because he has bags for every occasion and outfit. (Apparently someone else noticed his bag habit and put a collection of Robert Downey Jr tote bags for sale online.) Even back in the old days when he was running wild, Robert had a bag – but in those crazy times we assumed it involved drugs. What IS it that Robert carries in those bags?

CHLOE SEVIGNY AND LUKA SABBAT HAVE PLENTY TO TALK ABOUT

Luka Sabbat might be half of Chloe Sevigny’s age, but they look like a cute and plausible couple – and they do have something important in common: an obsession with fashion. Chloe’s eccentric style while walking around New York got her a big spread in the New Yorker magazine and that led to her first acting job. Luka grew up around fashion – his parents were both in the fashion biz, resulting in Luka’s idiosyncratic fashion sense. They attended Marc Jacobs’ wedding reception together and left with their party favors: designer vaping pens and hoodies featuring two Otters in love, saying “Don’t float away.”

DRAKE GETS AWAY WITH IT

Drake doesn’t dress like a rapper when he goes to Annabel’s nightclub in London – but he definitely dresses to impress. And he has one specific person in mind to impress – someone he doesn’t want anyone to know about. Moments after Drake made an entrance at the front of the club, this unidentified sexy young woman was dropped off by Drake’s employees and oozed into the BACK entrance of the club! We’re guessing that Drake is juggling a few women in the UK – he was also reportedly seen sneaking around with Lateysha Grace, who appeared on Big Brother there.

TWO ENGLISH HEARTTHROBS: ROBERT PATTINSON AND DAVE DAVIES

At last! We caught Robert Pattinson actually SMILING! Like Victoria Beckham, Robert manages to maintain a neutral face whenever confronted by a camera. He’s in New York promoting his new movie High Life in which he plays a criminal who volunteers to participate in a mission to outer space. What made Robert smile? Dave Davies from The Kinks! Like almost everyone else, Robert is a Kinks fan. In the pic Robert seems to be blushing with excitement. The mysterious actor was reportedly a very nice guy – gracious and polite.

ROD SERLING MUST BE SPINNING IN HIS GRAVE

We’re not sure if we overestimated Jordan Peele, or he had little to do with the new Twilight Zone on CBS, but it was a HUGE disappointment. We only saw the first free episode with Kumail Nanjiani, who was excellent as a failing stand-up comic. Unlike the original Twilight Zone, the writing was beyond amateur and the plot barely worth the effort. This lame and muddled mess could ruin Peele’s reputation, and we will NOT be signing up for CBS All Access.

SETH ROGEN HAS A WAY WITH WOMEN?

Hollywood loves to make movies about less than average looking men who attract drop dead gorgeous women because the guys have an appealing “personality.” Average males love to see Seth Rogen play these roles because it gives them aspirational hope. Seth and Charlize Theron are promoting their new film, Long Shot, and they even look a little awkward standing together in this photo. Funny, you never see movies about attractive men falling for homely women with great “personalities”…
