KEEPING UP WITH THE TAYLOR-JOHNSONS

Love this couple. Photographer/director Sam Taylor-Johnson and her husband actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson have been happily married for eight years despite their 23 year age difference. Actually, they fell in love when he was 18 and she was 42! They have two young daughters and are writing a screenplay together. Sam directed the FIRST “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie but couldn’t get along with the book author who had different ideas, so 2 and 3 had a different director. If you saw Tom “the woman hater” Ford’s movie Nocturnal Animals you remember Aaron played the sinister but sexy hillbilly killer. (And he’s English!)

BEN AFFLECK MAKES TIME FOR HIS KIDS – NO MATTER WHAT

Ben Affleck caught up with his ex Jennifer Garner and their kids as they made their way home after school. When they split, Ben leased a house not too far from their family home. It’s close enough so that he can see the kids frequently – and far enough away so that he and his new girlfriend Lindsay Shookus don’t run into Jennifer and the kids. Every time we see Ben and Jennifer (who looked AMAZING at the Oscars) he looks a little serious and pained, and she tries not to look uncomfortable. Ben is still getting help for his alcohol abuse – this week his producer girlfriend is in New York because SNL is back in production. After this photo was taken, Ben kissed the kids goodbye and they went their separate ways.

MADONNA HAD A FASHION EMERGENCY AT BARNEYS

Madonna was one of the last customers to visit Barneys before the 7PM closing time this evening and she was dressed to kill. She must have been on her way to a cocktail party or dinner and realized she forgot something that Barneys could provide. A last minute gift? A fashion accessory? A special shade of lipstick? Whatever. Maybe she needs the dark glasses because she’s still hung over from the rockin’ Oscar party she and Guy Oseary had that lasted until 5 AM.

WOODY ALLEN DID SOMETHING RIGHT

Our favorite Spanish couple, Penelope Cruz, 43, and Javier Bardem, 49, introduced their new film Loving Pablo in Madrid. It’s the true story of Virginia Vallejo, a Spanish journalist who fell in love with notorious –and married- drug lord Pablo Escobar. She documented their volatile and dangerous romance in her memoir. We love that these two top actors from Spain actually met and fell for each other while filming Woody Allen’s movie Vicky Christina Barcelona in 2008. They married in 2010 and have two kids.

CHARLIE HUNNAM IS NOW A CALIFORNIA GUY

British actor Charlie Hunnam, 37, is getting a bit chilly in Beverly Hills so he’s buttoning up his sweater. We have to admit we’ve been missing the Sons of Anarchy star and it’s a treat to lay eyes on him. As much as we like Charlie, we walked out of his King Arthur movie directed by Guy Ritchie. Even Charlie couldn’t save just another film about men chasing each other with weapons. Charlie famously turned down the lead in Fifty Shades of Grey and we bet it would have been quite a different movie if he had starred, but who knows…

THANK YOU, EMMA STONE

Emma Stone didn’t let a few late Oscar parties keep her from missing her LAX flight out of town this morning. She was last year’s Oscar winning Best Actress and created quite a stir when she presented the Best Director award at the Oscars last night. She said “It is the vision of a director that turns a movie into a work of art – these four men and Greta Gerwig created their own masterpieces this year.” It was a subtle but effective reminder of the constant absence of women the category. Men NEED to be reminded of this as often as possible until changes are made. People on Twitter later criticized Emma for being “dismissive” of the male nominees, but haven’t women in Hollywood (and other places) been dismissed for far too long? Nice work, Emma!

JANELLE MONAE: WHAT THE OSCARS COULD USE A LITTLE MORE OF

Oscar fashion was perfectly civilized, safe and mostly elegant – but BORING. We’ve seen those same long gowns in assorted colors with borrowed diamond necklaces year after year. Actress/singer Janelle Monae is a risk taker. Yesterday she showed up at the Independent Spirit Awards in truly festive attire. What we love about her is she never looks like someone else dressed her – she has powerful and specific taste of her own, and always livens up the atmosphere.

TOMMY WISEAU REALLY WANTED TO GO TO THE ACADEMY AWARDS

The Room creator and subject of The Disaster Artist,Tommy Wiseau, was more than happy to attend the Independent Film Awards on Saturday. Up to the last minute he tried to score a ticket to the Oscars but failed. He asked Mark Hamill if he could help him get a ticket but Mark said he couldn’t even get his kids tickets. It’s too bad for Tommy that James Franco got himself caught up in the “Me Too” movement and it cast a pall on The Disaster Artist. If Tommy fails to get a seat at the Oscars, we bet he’ll finagle his way into a few parties – without Franco.

JUSTIN COMBS CHOSE FASHION OVER FOOTBALL

You’d never guess that this fashionista was a football player. Justin Combs played ball at UCLA until his father Sean was arrested for attacking his coach. Justin was kicked off the football team but managed to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Sociology. He also looked like he lost a lot of weight today when he showed up at the Vivienne Westwood Fashion Week show in Paris. His 80’s inspired outfit with the jumbo shoulders and hammer-style pants reveal his love for fashion. Who needs football?

FROM FELON TO FANCY MAN: JEREMY MEEKS’ LIFE KEEPS GETTING BETTER

Heiress Chloe Green took her trophy boyfriend Jeremy Meeks out for an evening in Paris and he looks like he’s had quite a makeover. Actually Jeremy is looking quite comfortable with this polished look – and he has to look his best, because he’s the model for Chloes’ father’s Top Man fashion company. Today Jeremy was in Beverly hills shopping alone at XIV Karats (it’s Chloe’s birthday) and when he left, he handed the valet a hundred dollar bill and said “Keep the change – I don’t need it!”
