SUDDENLY IT APPEARS THAT BARBRA STREISAND IS NOT SO SMART, AFTER ALL

We are ABSOLUTELY APPALLED by Barbra Streisand’s remarks about the documentary Finding Neverland- AND her lame apology. She said she absolutely believed the victims James Safechuck and Wade Robson, but she blamed their MOTHERS more than she seemed to blame Michael Jackson for the abuse! She said the kids were THRILLED to spend time with Jackson and “it didn’t kill them.” Worst of all, she dismissed Michael Jackson’s horrible behavior with “his sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he had or whatever DNA he had.” Hello Barbra- abusing children is a CHOICE, and not inherited! She topped it off with that incredibly stupid line about “he was always nice to ME” – right, Bill Cosby was nice to lots of people when he wasn’t drugging and raping young women. When the backlash started, Barbra tried to backtrack her statements, but it was too late…

WE KNOW WHERE WENDY IS – BUT WHERE’S HER HUSBAND?

Wendy Williams brought some carry-out food back to the sober house where she’s living and cops kept an eye out for her, shooing off the press. Paparazzi are watching her carefully but WHO is watching her errant husband Kevin Hunter while she’s “away?” Hopefully, tabloids are following HIM and documenting his behavior. For SOME reason, Wendy stands by her man, no matter WHAT he does! As you may know, the only reason Wendy made that dramatic confession on her show about being in a sober house was because the story was about to break. One thing is still a mystery – Wendy admitted she had a cocaine problem “in the past” but did NOT specify what she was abusing this time around…

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES IN THE BIGGEST SUIT OF THE WEEK

It wasn’t so long ago that fashion conscious women squeezed themselves into the tightest possible clothing – preferably enhanced with spandex. Now the tide has turned and Paris said “go big!” –resulting in huge oversize suits. Perfectly stylish and comfortable for a long airplane flight like the one Catherine Zeta-Jones is boarding at JFK…

COLIN FARRELL: ST PATRICK’S DAY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

We have to admit that before he went into rehab in 2005, Colin Farrell was TONS of fun. In the early 2000’s, the Irish actor was in his 20’s and wildly celebrating his success in Hollywood. Everybody seemed to love him – Colin stayed at the Chateau Marmont Hotel and he visited every bar within walking distance on Sunset Strip. He turned on the Irish charm and had flings with whatever pretty actress he encountered, from Angelina Jolie to Demi Moore. The Chateau Marmont was a hotbed of gossip when he was in town– he even hooked up with Britney Spears there. He may not be quite as much fun as he was before rehab, but he’s still a cutie and now promoting his new movie, Tim Burton’s Dumbo.

Jennifer Lopez and her sister took j.lo’s daughter Emme on an all-girl shopping expedition for new school clothes in New York yesterday. Emme could go anywhere she wanted and she by-passed the fancy stores and chose to shop at highly affordable H&M like the rest of her friends. Nice that Emme seems to be a down to earth kid in spite of her celebrity family.

IT TURNS OUT ALEXIS CARRINGTON AND SUE ELLEN EWING ARE FRIENDS!

Dynasty diva Joan Collins (Alexis) and Dallas diva Linda Gray (Sue Ellen) actually had dinner together last night at Craig’s. Back in the day these women were highly competitive. The 80’s soap stars are currently both enjoying a resurgence of roles for mature women in Hollywood, thanks to cable. Linda is appearing for the second season on a soap called Hilton Head Island and Joan does occasional guest spots on shows like American Horror Story and Hawaii Five-O. Of course, Joan is always working on a book of some kind- she’s churned out 18 publications already.

PETE DAVIDSON’S CAREER AND HIS LOVE LIFE ON THE UPSWING

Pete Davidson must have been in seventh heaven, taking his new girlfriend Kate Beckinsale to the premier of his Netflix movie “The Dirt.” It’s the story of the self indulgent 80’s hair band Motley Crue, and Pete plays a record executive, of all things. The Dirt sounds like fun – an actress is playing Heather Locklear, one of Tommy Lee’s wives, but there’s no mention of his other wife, Pamela Anderson, for some reason. How could SHE be left out? Pete and Kate smooched at the after-party, appropriately held at the beloved Whiskey a Go Go on Sunset Strip.

STILL CRUISIN’: THE VILLAGE PEOPLE

Was there EVER a disco group more fun than The Village People? Last time we saw them, they were opening for Cher at the Hollywood Bowl, and a hard act to follow. Members have changed through the years but lead singer/songwriter Victor Willis, 65, is back and they’ve resumed touring. Willis left his successful group in the early 80’s and wrestled with a drug problem on the streets of San Francisco, (In his heyday he was married to Phylicia Rashad!) He cleaned up in 2007 and eventually his beloved “Cop” returned to the group. New members include Chad Freeman (Cowboy,) James Kwong (construction worker) Angel Morales (Indian) and JJ Lippold (Leather Man.)

LUPITA NYONG’O CAN’T KEEP HER EYES OFF YOU

Uh-oh, we see a trend developing here, and we’re not talking about the shiny pink jumpsuit. 12 Years a Slave star (and Oscar winner) Lupita Nyong’o is currently promoting her new horror film Us, and she’s been turning up at premiers and promotional events with startling EYE colors. She wore RED contacts to the UK premier and these YELLOW contacts in New York. Can her own collection of all-occasion Lupita colored eye contacts be far behind?

ANGELA BASSETT: AS SMART AS SHE IS GOOD LOOKING

We can’t help but wonder what Angela Bassett (who happens to look GORGEOUS here) thinks about the current college admission scandal. Angela, 60, happens to have a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts from YALE – and her parents didn’t pull any strings to get her there. In fact, Angela grew up in a low-income family, but her smart mother emphasized the importance of good grades and insisted her children prepare for college. Angela also met her husband of 21 years, Courtney B Vance, while both were at Yale, and recently Yale gave the Black Panther actress an honorary doctoral degree. Eat your hearts out, Lori Laughlin and Felicity Huffman…
