IT WAS DENIRO’S WORST PERFORMANCE

Despite the fact that we’ve been a lifetime fan of Robert DeNiro and and NEVER a fan of the President – we were appalled by DeNiro’s “F**k Trump” declarations at the Tony Awards, and further appalled by the audience’s cheering response. In what world are immature and vulgar comments on live TV like these acceptable, much less admired? DeNiro succeeded in making himself and the Hollywood “left” look glaringly awful to the multitudes of Trump voters watching the show. This can only strengthen their desire to vote him into a second term and further divide this nation! Nothing good can come from this immature and offensive behavior.

OCEANS 8: NO WONDER THEY NEEDED 34 MAKEUP ARTISTS

We know for sure that Oceans 8 is a slam-dunk to get at least 2 Oscar nominations – not for acting, but for makeup and lighting. Not one of the leading women in this film appears to be A DAY over 35! Everyone LOOKS miraculous! That’s not to say the acting isn’t fun – the assembled assortment of women is delightful. Too bad the script was so obviously written by men – the female leads often one-upped each other with smart-ass lines that egotistical men would use – all that was missing was cigars. So the female characters weren’t well drawn and the story seemed too familiar, but the movie IS fun to watch – the Met Gala is an eye-popping setting and we love all the female leads. Satisfying summer movie…

REDMOND O’NEAL COULDN’T SHAKE THE FAMILY CURSE

Being Farrah Fawcett’s son didn’t help Redmond O’Neal create a decent life for himself – because he was cursed with Ryan O’Neal for a father. Egotistical Ryan O’Neal has four kids with three women – three are drug addicts. His kids claim he plied them with drugs when they were pre-teens. Son Patrick escaped the family curse by growing up with his mother, Leigh Taylor-Young. Newly arrested Redmond has been in and out of over a dozen rehabs and spent most of his adult life in prison. His mother left him plenty of money (he attended Farrah’s 2009 funeral in handcuffs) but he couldn’t escape chronic substance abuse. He’s 33 and a hardened criminal now – charged with a crime spree including attempted murder, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, battery, etc. So much for “Hollywood Royalty.”

LEA THOMPSON: BACK FROM THE FUTURE

It’s been awhile since we heard much about Back to the Future star Lea Thompson – that could have something to do with the fact that she’s been happily married (so she says) for 29 years to director Howard Deutch. Their daughter Zoey Deutch, 23, is already a successful actress and their other daughter Madelyn, 27, is an accomplished writer. Madelyn wrote the script for the 2017 film The Year of Spectacular Men which Zoey starred in, and Lea directed. A family affair.

KAT VON D AND HER NEW HUSBAND HAVE LOTS IN COMMON

So far it looks like Kat Von D, 36, married the right guy. Her new spouse is Rafael Reyes, 42, and he’s an artist, an author, and a musician (he’s credited for creating cholo goth music.) They were both born in Mexico, and best of all, Rafael lets Kat tattoo him all she wants. He already has tattoos on his head right up to his hairline so they can only be seen if he shaves his head. A match made in heaven…

HAS ROSEANNE LEARNED A LESSON?

When it comes to putting her foot in her mouth – probably not. But she’s learned the hard way how much her selfindulgent tweets can hurt just about everyone she knows. All those people out of work overnight because of HER! We would have been happier if ABC had paused to think about it, and simply fired Roseanne and put the show on hold while they brainstorm a way to keep it going. This INSTANT COMDEMNATION is getting out of hand. Meanwhile, Roseanne is hiding out at her parents house in Salt Lake City and a paparazzi caught her on the phone crying.

KIM KARDASHIAN IS MORE INTERESTED IN GOOD PUBLICITY THAN JUSTICE

At first glance, Kim Kardashian’s visit to Donald Trump to plead with him to commute Alice Marie Johnson appears to be a well-intentioned deed. Alice had served 20 years of a life without parole for a non-violent drug crime. Kim saw a documentary about her plight and took up the cause. If she had performed this feat without fanfare – behind the scenes, it would have been quite impressive. But reality-star Kim was actually more interested in making HERSELF look like a kind and generous person than anything else. Her “performance” was documented from beginning to end – starting with the photo above – and this publicity is PRICELESS. When asked WHY she took up this cause, Kim modestly claimed that she appreciates all that SHE has and wants to do something good for other people. Really? She can’t do anything nice without shoving it in our faces? All Kim really cares about is the good PR she is now enjoying…

L’WREN SCOTT AND KATE SPADE CHOSE THE SAME WAY OUT: COINCIDENCE?

Ever since Mick Jagger’s 6’ 3” financially challenged designer/girlfriend L’Wren Scott hanged herself from a doorknob with an Hermes scarf, we have been incredibly curious to find out HOW this is done! We just can’t PICTURE the physical nature of this act. And now another fashion icon has taken her own life EXACTLY the same sad but mysterious way. Likeable Kate Spade chose the same unthinkable suicide method. Why would this solution be chosen over pills?

RUSSELL CROWE HAS NEVER LOOKED WORSE

A full-figured Russell Crowe showed up in Rome for a festive event involving his 2000 epic Gladiator. While the movie was projected on a big screen, a symphony orchestra played the Oscar nominated score. A nice way to spend a summer evening. Russell, 54, has changed a LOT since he made that movie, but he seems unconcerned. The bushy gray beard isn’t helping his looks any – he’s certainly hiding any indication that he was once a hot guy. Maybe his divorce made him less concerned about his looks (?) – or maybe that old adage applies – his condition is the result of having money and too much free time…

NOBODY MAKES AN ENTRANCE LIKE RIHANNA

Rihanna is thrilled about her unexpected role as a computer whiz in Oceans 8 and as usual she livened up the red carpet at the New York premier. Rihanna, 30, has been aiming toward an acting career, but it’s hard to figure where she’ll find the time. Singing aside, she’s the most successful celebrity designer and the undisputed queen of high and low fashion. Her FentyXPuma collection boosted Puma sales 92% and her red carpet looks are as good as her streetwear. She’s the real deal.
