AMBER HEARD : THE GOOD THINGS IN LIFE ARE NOT ALWAYS FREE

Amber Heard, 32, still managed to look beautiful in spite of the monumentally unflattering gown she wore on the red carpet in Cannes. Presumably when she sees her photos she’ll realize that sometimes it’s better to buy your own dress than wear something just because it was a freebie. Amber has split from Elon Musk again, but she was already seen in the back seat of a limo with Heidi Klum’s ex-boyfriend Vito Schnabel, so life goes on…

VOGUE’S ANNA WINTOUR PULLED A FAST ONE AT THE MET GALA

For some inexplicable reason Anna Wintour wants us to think she has taken pity on Harvey Weinstein’s estranged wife Georgina Chapman and her fashion company Marchesa. Whatever her motivation, Wintour managed to land Chapman’s first interview since the Weinstein scandal changed Hollywood. And that IS a scoop – EXCEPT it featured Chapman in an absurdly (“poor little me!”) sympathetic light with not ONE word of “How could you NOT have known what he was up to?” Not even “Exactly WHAT attracted you to this man you married?” In exchange for the self-serving interview, Wintour coaxed Scarlett Johansson into wearing a Marchesa gown to the Gala. So THAT’s why Scarlett was the first actress to be caught dead in a Marchesa dress! Sorry Scarlett, that was NOT okay and we are deeply disappointed in you…

GEORGIA MAY JAGGER HAS A MILLION DOLLAR SMILE

Georgia May Jagger turned up on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival looking pretty sensational. She’s one of the most successful of Mick Jagger’s eight kids with 5 different women. Lucky Georgia’s mom is Texas-born model Jerry Hall (who is now married to billionaire Rupert Murdoch.) Georgia, 26, is the face of Rimmel cosmetics, among other companies. She worries about the gap in her teeth – Georgia says she’s afraid it will make her look “scary” when she gets older…

PAMELA ANDERSON KISSED MALIBU GOODBYE

Pamela Anderson, 50, is no longer a familiar sight in Malibu and she says she might never return to California if it weren’t for her sons Dylan and Brandon, above. She is now living in Marseille, France with her 32 year old soccer player boyfriend Adil Rami. They met a year ago at the Grand Prix and have been inseparable ever since. So those romance rumors about Pam and WikiLeaks hacker Julian Assange are not true – they really ARE just friends. With her sons living on their own, Pam rented out her Malibu house and she and her golden retriever Zuzu moved in with Rami. Pam says she always imagined she’d end up living in the South of France and she couldn’t be happier. She does occasionally return to check up on her boys, however.

PENELOPE CRUZ AND JAVIER BARDEM: WHAT EVERYBODY DOESN’T KNOW

Now that the Met Gala has past, we turn our attention to The Cannes Film Festival – the next major fashion event. Spain’s power couple Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are as fabulous as anyone at the Met. They costarred in a new kidnapping thriller “Everybody Knows” that opened the festival, and the movie really looks interesting. Penelope’s character and her teen daughter fly to her family home for a large wedding. Her daughter disappears in the middle of the night and Javier’s character (an ex-boyfriend) steps in to help find her. All the family members are under suspicion and surprising things happen…

HOW MUCH FASHION PAYOLA ARE ACTRESSES GETTING TO WEAR GOWNS AT THE MET GALA?

The Met Gala is turning out to be a bigger fashion event that the Cannes Film Festival. We can’t even IMAGINE how much money is changing hands as major fashion houses, jewelry designers etc. BRIBE celebrities to wear their creations! Blake Lively is in big demand because she’s model height (5’10”) and makes the clothes look spectacular. Her Gala gown was gorgeous but obscenely expensive (it took over 600 hours to make!) Recently designers have ALSO been dressing celebrities for the after-parties! (Blake, above in her pricey after-party outfit) No WONDER so many celebrities wouldn’t think of missing the Met Gala – they’d be missing a huge pay check!

WORST AND BEST DRESSED AT THE MET GALA

WORST: Katy Perry should FIRE her stylist or whatever designer put her in this get-up. Not only is it sadly reminiscent of a tacky Victoria’s Secret angel costume, but it’s downright unflattering to the max. And we’re betting Katy took up more room than any other person at the party. SOMEBODY had to be Worst Dressed and Katy was winner by a mile.

BEST: There were lots of creative and glamorous gowns (except Rihanna – ditch that Pope hat!) but we fell in love with the simplicity and power of Zendaya’s Joan of Arc look. It almost looks like it’s made of metal and radiates with female power – but not hyper-sexuality. The 21 year old singer/actress (and former Disney star) just oozes female superiority.

ESAI MORALES IS NO LONGER A BAD BOY

As beards go, we’ve seen much worse examples than this facial hair sported by Esai Morales. Of course this grey beard IS hiding the face of one of the better looking actors in Hollywood, so it’s still a nuisance. We remember Esai’s Smoothly handsome face in 80’s movies Bad Boys and La Bamba – more recently NYPD Blue. He’s always been political – Esai is a National Board Member for SAG-AFTRA and he ran for president of the union this year. Above, Esai was seen arriving at George Lopez’s celebrity Golf Classic pre-party in Brentwood. He’s a silver fox with or without the beard…

KAIA GERBER AND LUKA SABBAT: BOTH EXCITED ABOUT THE MET GALA

Everybody fashionable seems to be in New York ahead of the Met Gala on Monday, including a whole lot of models. We’re not sure if Kaia Gerber and her friend actor/model Luka Sabbat, 20, are going together, but they will both be there. Luka was born into the fashion world – his mother worked as a stylist for Galliano and Dior and he was raised in Paris. He’s a rare model with unique personal style and has design aspirations of his own. In the meantime he can be seen in the series Grown-ish – his first big acting job.

JOHN GOODMAN IS TWO THIRDS OF THE MAN HE USED TO BE

Nice to see that John Goodman is keeping off the 100 plus pounds he’s lost since the original Roseanne series went off the air. His character Dan Conner is a much healthier looking person now – because John not only walks more, but he works out, gave up alcohol and sticks to a Mediterranean diet. (We remember years ago when John would check into a hotel somewhere and binge – just drink all day and night and order pizzas.) His new look hasn’t impaired the show at all, and Roseanne is looking more glamorous this time around also…
