THE FUTURE IS LOOKIN’ GOOD

Future just looked so darn adorable in this photo that we just HAD to share it. Actually, this rapper is more than a pretty face – Future, 35, started out as a songwriter and producer in Atlanta before he hit the bigtime on his own. When we met him he was surprisingly friendly and talkative. On the downside, of course, he has six children with six different women. No doubt that child support keeps him working overtime…

SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO IS FULL OF SURPRISES

The first time we saw the very Italian comic Sebastian Maniscalco, we were dead certain that he was a native New Yorker. But it turns out he was actually born in Arlington Heights, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, very close to where we grew up. In 1998, he moved to Los Angeles and started appearing at The Comedy Store, while working his way up in the world of stand-up. He’s a little like Jerry Seinfeld in his funny observations, but he’s a lot more animated. Sebastian is in NY promoting his new Netflix special Stay Hungry, and we’re surprised to see him wearing head to toe MAUVE!

MAYBE KANYE WEST ISN’T THE CREATIVE GENIUS HE THINKS HE IS

We’ve been seeing a plethora of designer puffy jackets of all kinds this winter so we were a bit fascinated by Off-White’s puffy jumpsuit for men. Perfect for cold wet weather. Off-White’s designer is Virgil Abloh – he was Creative Director for Kanye West and actually designed Kanye’s clothing collections, despite the fact that Kanye declared HIMSELF “a creative genius.” Abloh moved on and recently became head of menswear at Louis Vuitton, and Kanye was NOT thrilled. Maybe that’s why Kanye has been concentrating on shoes instead of clothing lately…

KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR SAYS DON’T FEEL GUILTY ABOUT LOVING GREEN BOOK

We were extremely impressed with NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s essay about the movie Green Book in The Hollywood Reporter. He addressed the issue that during awards season, controversies “pop up” that could taint appreciation of a film. Family members questioned Green Book’s accuracy, and tasteless past behavior by the filmmakers suddenly came to light. Obviously Kareem felt Green Book IS significant and meaningful, and these problems simply aren’t all that important. He weighed every issue haunting this wonderful film and decided “unless it’s a documentary, filmmakers are history’s interpreters, not its chroniclers.” We suggest that you read the essay AND see the movie.

JONAH HILL LIKES TO EXPERIMENT WITH HIS LOOKS

Here’s a Hollywood moment. Jonah Hill is yakking up a storm, waiting for his car outside Barneys in Beverly Hills and he has a brand new hair color. Last week while he was in Cabo San Lucas with his sexy girlfriend, stylist Gianna Santos, he had green hair. This wavy blonde look is reminiscent of Jerry Lee Lewis. (Jonah lightened his beard also.) He’s carrying a man-purse or a small gym bag and a shopping bag from the store. The size of the bag indicates that it’s a gift for his girlfriend. He’s no fool.

HERE’S A CELEBRITY WIFE WITH A SENSE OF ADVENTURE

How often do you see the wife of one of the most successful actors in Hollywood riding an electric scooter on a freezing cold day in New York? Deborra-Lee Furness is married to the very athletic Hugh Jackman, so we imagine she likes to keep up with him, activity-wise. Actress Deborra must be one of those very outdoorsy Australian women because she didn’t hesitate attach her phone for navigation and ride a scooter to her destination in Manhattan. (Of course she’s a mother of two and didn’t forget her safety helmet.)

GLASS COULD BE THE REASON FOR BRUCE WILLIS’S ODD BEHAVIOR

NOW we know why Bruce Willis has been looking a bit out-of-it lately. We just saw his new movie Glass, which Bruce and the other cast members have been promoting in Europe. We figure Bruce is just plain EMBARRASSED at what his career has become. We found M. Night Shyamalan’s new “thriller” shockingly awful with pretentious and nonsensical dialogue. How four decent actors were talked into filming this is a mystery – Sarah Paulson, James McAvoy, Samuel L Jackson and Bruce, must have been swept away by that Shyamalan mystique and lived to regret it.

ANNE HATHAWAY KNOWS HOW TO MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL

The Hollywood Reporter did a staggering breakdown on what A-list celebrities are PAID for wearing certain items on the red carpet at events like The Golden Globes. A young attractive actress (especially a nominee) could not only get a free designer gown, but a cash payment of at least $50,000, up to $200,000, if she appears on a best dressed list! If she shows off a designer handbag on the red carpet, that’s another $10,000 to $15,000. Shoe designers pay up to $10,000 for an actress to make her shoes visible. Anne Hathaway knows how to make the best of a red carpet – she’s showing dress, shoes, handbag, AND earrings ($125,000)- that’s a potentially NICE payout!

THE MOVIE “KITCHEN” HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FOOD

Just seeing this photo of Tiffany Haddish, Melissa McCarthy, and Elizabeth Moss in their 1970’s attire filming Kitchen in New York, got us interested in seeing the movie. It’s a comedy/drama about three Hell’s Kitchen mob wives who take over their husbands’ rackets when the mobsters are sent to prison. AND the film was written and directed by a woman – Andrea Berloff. We always have higher expectations for movies made by women – the characters seem more relatable.

THERE’S MORE TO RAMI MALEK THAN MEETS THE EYE

We learned two interesting things about Rami Malek today: First and most important – he has an identical TWIN brother named Sami. Sami, a teacher, is slightly beefier and has facial hair, but both are handsome in their own way. We found this photo online of the 37 year old twins with a friend, who is also a teacher. As you may know, Rami is dating his Bohemian Rhapsody costar Lucy Boynton, and we find that noteworthy because his LAST girlfriend was his Mr Robot costar Portia Doubleday. So THAT’S how he acquires his girlfriends…
