CLAUDIA SCHIFFER AND HER MINI-ME

We don’t see supermodel Claudia Schiffer around much any more because she lives in London with her husband, producer Matthew Vaughn. Matthew is close friends with Guy Ritchie and has produced many of his films. Claudia and her husband have three children – Cosima, above, is the youngest at 7. She’s already showing future model potential. Claudia and Cindy Crawford were among the hottest models of the 90’s, and they both have pretty daughters.

IS LA TOYA JACKSON IN CHARGE OF HER OWN LIFE NOW?

La Toya Jackson looks like she has some doubts about the manicure she just got in Beverly Hills. Significantly, she’s in the company of another woman – NOT Jeffre Phillips, whom she “almost” married. Jeffre was acting as her manager after she divorced Jack Gordon. We are reminded of a visit to Paris in 1992 when LaToya was performing (scantily clad) at the Moulin Rouge nightclub. Jack invited us to see the show and visit backstage. LaToya graciously showed us her wardrobe and she and Jack took us to the hottest club in Paris at the time, where they rolled out the red carpet for her. Hard to imagine, but it looks like La Toya is single and managing her own career now.

MARLON WAYANS WAS 100 % RIGHT ABOUT KIM ZOLCIAK

To be honest we have never been fond of Atlanta “Housewife” Kim Zolciak. Everything about her clashed with our better judgment – she was louder than she was smart, and set a horrible example for girls and women (including her own daughter.) All that fake hair, plastic surgery, thick makeup, and inflated lips – acts of desperation. She’s all about looks and not enough about substance. When Marlon Wayans posted his hilarious comments comparing her to his White Chicks movie characters, we hoped she would surprise us and laugh at herself just a little. But noooo, this vacuous woman took offense and actually compared HER situation to the #MeToo victims. So we still don’t like her…

WHEN RACHEL WEISZ AND DANIEL CRAIG GO OUT TOGETHER – IT’S FOR A GOOD REASON

You don’t often see Rachel Weisz, 48, and her 007 husband Daniel Craig, 50, on a red carpet – they rarely make public appearances together. So it was a big deal when they turned up to raise money to educate under-served children at the Night of Opportunity Gala in New York. Their romance started when they filmed Dream House in 2010 and they had a surprise -and very private- wedding a year later. Tabloids often speculate that their marriage is shaky because they are not often photographed together, but they seem quite happy living out of the public eye. And they really look good together…

STEVE HARVEY: PEOPLE GET INSULTED TOO EASILY THESE DAYS!

When Steve Harvey and his wife Marjorie get DRESSED UP – they mean business! Steve is wearing the shiniest silk suit we’ve ever seen and Marjorie chose a fur trimmed velvet gown to wear to the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in New York. Steve says his wife of 11 years has made him a “better man” and he recently defended her use of the currently unacceptable word “retarded.” Marjorie filmed an Instagram cooking video and she jokingly made an offhand comment “My husband thinks I’m retarded and I don’t know how to cut up beets.” Believe it or not, it caused an uproar online, and Steve responded “You people are just looking for something to be pissed off about – she was talking about HERSELF!”

HEIDI KLUM MOVES ON WITH GERMAN PRECISION

Leave it to Heidi Klum – she’s never without a boyfriend for long. Seems like only yesterday that Heidi, 44, was hot n’ heavy with 31 year old art dealer Vito Schnabel. They split in 2017 and now she’s romancing an even younger German rockstar! For the past few months she’s been seeing guitarist Tom Kaulitz from the band Tokio Hotel. Tom’s twin brother Bill is the lead singer for the band. The band moved to Los Angeles and Tom divorced his wife after a short marriage. Now Tom and Heidi are inseparable – they were seen smooching backstage at America’s Got Talent and paparazzi caught them in Cabo having a Mexican holiday.

THE BEST THING ABOUT THE MOVIE “A QUIET PLACE”

Our motivation for dashing out to see “A Quiet Place” was that we really like John Krasinski and Emily Blunt as people, as well as a couple. And we hoped their project would be a success. We were NOT disappointed – the film is very relatable – you actually CARE about the characters and their dilemma. It takes place in the near future and the movie starts with long minutes of total SILENCE which is a first, and shock to the audience. John and Emily’s film family has love and endurance and adaptability and they never give up against huge odds. The best part of the movie is how the audience feels when walking out – inspired and SO grateful for everything they have and take for granted.

RUSSELL CROWE HAS PUT HIS MARRIAGE BEHIND HIM

Who knew that Russell Crowe, 54, was such a sentimental collector? His divorce from Danielle Spencer was final last year and he’s cleaning house with an online auction at Sotheby’s Australia called “The Art of Divorce.” Russell saved costumes from most of his movies and his fans can now buy everything from his gladiator costumes and body armor to his neo-Nazi Romper Stomper boots. He also has a full-size Roman chariot along with a large custom motorcycle collection and loads of collectible guitars. In case you forgot, he’s a musician and has had several bands in Australia. The auction expects to pull in millions of dollars – some of which will go to kids’ charities in Australia.

Above Russell appeared last fall in London with his latest band Indoor Garden Party.

MATT DAMON DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana and the kids are in Sydney, Australia, spending time on the beach with Chris Hemsworth and his family. We found it very interesting that the writer of Brokeback Mountain, Diana Ossana, discussed the movie at a gay film festival in LA. According to The Holllywood Reporter, Diana believes that Hollywood is STILL homophobic. When they were casting Brokeback a number of “prominent young actors” liked the script but backed out of taking a gay role. “We sent the script to Matt Damon, Edward Norton and Joaquin Phoenix, among others, and nobody would commit.” Funny, we always thought those guys were pretty open-minded…

RIHANNA CAN DO NO WRONG

Voluptuous Rihanna introduced her wildly successful Fenty Beauty line for summer called Beach, Please at a glittery party in Milan wearing a Versace leather dress. (We think she would have looked better in her own Fenty streetwear fashion.) Time Magazine named her makeup collection for all skin colors one of the Best Inventions of 2017. Her Fenty makeup tutorials are getting hundreds of millions of views, and best of all, her cosmetics are already doing SO well they are expected to easily outsell all the Jenner and Kardashian beauty collections!
