DEMI LOVATO AND HENRY LEVY: A MATCH MADE IN REHAB

Fashion designer Henry Levy has hit the jackpot with his new girlfriend Demi Lovato. Henry, who has been in rehab himself a number of times, started out as Demi’s “sober companion” and their friendship blossomed into romance. Henry’s luxury fashion brand is called Enfants Riches Deprimes, which translates to “Depressed Rich Kids.” His expensive punk-inspired unisex apparel is sold only at high-end stores like Maxfield. We cannot imagine Demi wearing his $300 torn t-shirts (Jared Leto does) – but it might happen. And just being seen with Demi has given his profile a boost. Everything’s good for both of them!

RITA ORA IS AN OPTICAL ILLUSION

Now here’s a clever and eye-popping outfit – and British singer Rita Ora is the perfect model. We’re not sure how it looks in person, but this print is amazing in photographs. It looks like someone took huge black and pink sharpies and scribbled on the white dress, gloves, and stockings. Appropriate for the Jingle Bell Ball in New York.

KEVIN HART: THE REAL REASON HE QUIT THE OSCARS

We were flabbergasted when we first heard that Kevin Hart was chosen to host the Oscars – because his humor has always been rather rough and macho compared to previous hosts. When he said he had DREAMED of hosting, we warmed to the idea and decided the Oscars would be a lot more exciting with a controversial host – and maybe attract the younger viewers they want. HOW could the Academy invite Hart to host without researching his work? Kevin’s comments from years ago came back to haunt him and rather than apologize, he refused the job. We think he REALLY quit because it finally dawned on him how complex (in many ways) hosting the Oscars could be, and it was simply OVERWHELMING!

DENNIS QUAID IS KEEPING UP WITH GIRLFRIEND HALF HIS AGE

Dennis Quaid, 64, and his French-Canadian model girlfriend Santa Auzina, 32, are still going strong after two years. Dennis and Santa met in 2016 when he was filming in Canada, and they were both married to other people. Coincidentally or not, both their marriages ended shortly after, and Santa was accused of “abandoning” her husband and kids. Two weeks after Dennis’s divorce was final, they went public with their romance. Both Dennis and Santa have a set of twins with their exes, and they’re planning to spend Christmas vacationing with all their kids.

AMAL CLOONEY IS THE REAL-LIFE WONDERWOMAN

Despite the fact that she’s an acclaimed international human rights attorney, Amal Clooney manages to juggle her one and a half year old twins along with her career. Last night George Clooney and his parents were with Amal at a United Nations event in New York where she was honored as 2018 Global Citizen of the Year. (His parents must have been SO impressed.) Today Amal left their hotel carrying Alexander (who resembles George) and Ella (she’s got Amal’s eyes) with no help from a nanny.

HOLLY MADISON: IT’S A WHOLE NEW WORLD

In the light of what’s happening now for women, what in the world does Holly Madison think when she looks back at her years with Hugh Hefner? Remember, she lived with him from 2002 to 2008, along with two other Playmates, but she was #1 because everyone expected Hef to marry her. The Girls Next Door series (about Hef and his three girlfriends) made Holly famous and she summoned up the courage to leave before the show ended. Since then she married, had two children, and is in the process of getting a divorce. Holly is whipping herself into shape by working out with Tracy Anderson now that she’s about to be single again. We think she’d be ten pounds lighter if she just removed all that fake hair.

FREDDIE MERCURY WAS HOPELESSLY IN LOVE WITH HIS CATS

And we fell in love with this photo of Freddie Mercury that appeared on Dangerous Minds. Having seen Bohemian Rhapsody, we knew he loved his cats, but didn’t realize to what extent. During his lifetime (not all at once) he had ten cats that had the run of his house and property. Six of them outlived him. When he was on tour he missed them so much he would call home to “speak” to them and an employee would hold the desired cat to the phone and give it a little squeeze to get an audible “meow.” So no one was surprised when he left most of his estate to lifetime best friend Mary Austin and his cats – except his boyfriend.

JULIA ROBERTS IS THE PERFECT LEADING MAN

Julia Roberts does have a lot to be happy about. Her movie Ben is Back is a genuine nail biting thriller – and unlike movies with leading MEN, there are no guns or car chases. It’s a refreshing change to have an exciting female led story and Julia more than fills the bill. She is IN CHARGE. We doubt if this film would have happened if it weren’t for what we call the “female revolution” of #MeToo and Time’s Up. Certainly the leading character would have been a father instead of a mother – and what a loss that would have been…

BENICIO DEL TORO STEALS EVERY SCENE IN ESCAPE AT DANNEMORA

Benicio Del Toro fans (and there are surprisingly MANY) should not miss his Showtime series Escape at Dannemora because it features Del Toro AT HIS BEST! His smooth operator prison character is clean shaven and extremely sly and sexy. This is actually is one of his best acting roles- director Ben Stiller recognized the power of a close-up of Benicio’s incredibly expressive face. His character easily seduces Patricia Arquette’s married female prison employee and thus the escape plot is formed. We can’t WAIT for the next episode…

WHAT WAS KATY PERRY THINKING?

Katy Perry looks more like somebody’s Aunt Vera, than a pop star in this awful Christmas inspired get-up. SOME celebrities are in dire need of stylists even when they are NOT on the red carpet. Katy usually looks nice when she is dressed for an event, but when she’s left to her own devices, bad things happen. What she lacks in style, however, Katy makes up for with her good heart. She performed, dressed like this, at a Malibu benefit concert for the Woolsey fire victims held in Calabasas.
