SOON ALMOST EVERYONE WILL HAVE HAIR LIKE MADONNA

Like it or not girls, this is what your hair will be looking like within a year or so. Almost without exception, Madonna debuts a hairstyle first and eventually all levels of stylists and their customers pick up on it. (A historical search of Madonna photos will verify this fact.) Currently she has grown her hair long and often wears braids, but when the braids are combed out, she has these tight little waves. On the upside, it’s low maintenance for her visits to Malawe, Africa.

BELLA THORNE NEEDS A MAKEUNDER

Bella Thorne is only 20 and she grew up in Florida, so you have to cut her some slack, but her personal offscreen style is dreadful. Bella looks great on film – she’s a natural beauty and the Hollywood pros know how to dress her and go easy on the makeup. On her own time she lays the face paint on with a trowel, and makes herself look much older. She longs to be cool but ends up dressing overtly sexy and looks far from hip – just tacky. THIS is what she wore to promote her new movie I Still See You.

PARIS FASHION WEEK: JAPANESE FASHION RULES

Paris Fashion Week further illustrated the inevitable evolution from fancy haute couture to athletic inspired streetwear. We cannot resist Japanese fashion and Sacai is one of our select few fantasy designers. (We fanaticize about buying some) Sacai incorporates many of our favorite things: plaid, military inspiration, and asymmetry, plus there is a functional element. If we could splurge on anything from the Spring 2019 collection, it would be this.

WOULD UPDATED VERSION OF WEST SIDE STORY BE A BLOODBATH?

The announcement today that Ansel Elgort has been cast to play Tony in Steven Spielberg’s “updated” version of West Side Story, leads to SO MANY questions! In the original West Side Story, the gangs of disaffected youth were cool but not dangerous, except for an occasional rumble. But NOW the gangs like The Latin Kings or Harlem Crips are psychopathic criminals capable of unthinkable violence! Is there any room for a sweet romance? Personally, we fell in love with slick Bernardo in the original film and haven’t lost our taste for Latinos. We never forgot him in that purple shirt and black shiny hair at the big dance. Who could play THIS key role? Any suggestions? Is this remake an awful idea?

CRISTIANO RONALDO : LATEST CASUALTY OF THE #ME TOO MOVEMENT

We are AMAZED at the courage of the woman who accused soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo of sexual assault, considering all the fanatical soccer fans he has around the world. A Las Vegas model (Kathryn Mayorga) claims Ronaldo assaulted and raped her in 2009 during a party at his hotel suite. She went to a hospital and reported the incident to Las Vegas police, who showed little interest in investigating or prosecuting the assault. Meanwhile Ronaldo sent private investigators to follow her around and dig up dirt on her to discredit her character, according to Kathryn. She claims they also had “friends” in the police department. Eventually she accepted a $375,000 settlement and signed an agreement never to speak of the attack or mention his name again. The “MeToo” movement gave her the courage to break the non-disclosure agreement and tell her story to German newspaper Der Spiegel. Ironically, Cristiano’s response was “Fake news!” – he sounds like someone we know…

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN’S SON MASON IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE HIS FAMOUS GRANDFATHER

Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-husband Scott Disick took their kids Mason and Penelope out to dinner along with his entourage in New York. We can’t help but notice that little Mason is starting to develop a strong resemblance to his grandfather Robert Kardashian. Robert was, unfortunately, a lawyer and friend to OJ Simpson, and his reputation suffered due to their relationship. He was also an entrepreneur and had several successful businesses. Hopefully Mason also inherited his grandfather’s intelligence…

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD DEFINES THE FUTURE OF FASHION AND TRANSPORTATION

Leave it to Vivienne Westwood and her equally eccentric husband Andreas Kronthaler to come up with a timely yet outrageous Spring 2019 collection. Her quirky husband Andreas seems to be very actively involved in the current designs. At London Fashion Week Vivienne showed her models on skateboards and motorized scooters -the same scooters that are presenting difficulties in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. Obstacles will be overcome and they probably represent the future in transportation. Westwood’s designs illustrate the inevitable evolution of red carpet fashion to streetstyle-athletic inspired garments.

JERRY SEINFELD: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Much more interesting than Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk’s wedding rehearsal dinner is the LOCATION where it was held. It’s Jerry Seinfeld’s impressive and immaculate house in the Hamptons – we wonder how much space is dedicated to his car collection…

JUSTIN THEROUX KNOWS HOW TO BE LEFT ALONE

Sometimes Justin Theroux would rather NOT be recognized and have people stop him and ask for selfies. He knows exactly how to make himself appear distant and unapproachable in New York while walking his dog. His subtle technique: beard, hat, and sunglasses, ordinary clothing, and an earbud. Looks like almost any other guy on the street…

KENDALL JENNER KNOWS WHERE HER MONEY IS

Leave it to Kendall Jenner to be the first to sport a new style. She dashed out to a Paris supermarket wearing this black strappy thing over her t-shirt. At a glance, it appears that she’s strapped into a back brace like some UPS drivers wear. If you look closely you can see a Prada label on a small zipper shoulder bag on her chest. Is this a combination back brace and crossbody bag? A moneybelt? Or a wraparound the stomach hands-free bag…You be the judge
