THE BECKHAMS: FIRST FAMILY OF FASHION

Victoria, David, and Brooklyn Beckham almost stole the show at the Louis Vuitton Fall 2018 menswear show in Paris. They sat in the front row in support of their friend – designer Kim Jones – who is leaving the label after designing for seven years and attracting a huge younger customer base. Brooklyn, 18, posted a video of the show online for his friends.

OPRAH AND DONALD TRUMP HAVE HISTORY TOGETHER

The Hollywood Reporter dug up an interesting tidbit about Oprah and Donald Trump. (If you thought the idea of Oprah Winfrey being friendly at one time with Harvey Weinstein was surprising – this is another jolt.) Donald Trump appeared on her talk show in 1988 and Oprah quizzed him about full page newspaper ads he’d taken out to protest US foreign policy. Trump said he was tired of the country being ripped off and Oprah brought up the idea of Trump running for office. Forward to 1999 when Trump was on The Larry King Show – he toyed with the idea of running for president. When Larry asked him who he’d like for Vice President, Trump replied “Oprah – I love Oprah – she’d be my first choice.”

JOHN STAMOS’S HOUSE IS GETTING FULLER

John Stamos, 54, has plenty to smirk about. He just returned from Arizona where he was honored for his work with a children’s charity. In December he announced that his fiancée, actress/model Caitlin McHugh, 34, is expecting their first baby next spring. For the past few years, the Fuller House star has been touring and performing with The Beach Boys. Will this mean the end of his rock star aspirations?

JESSICA CHASTAIN SAID NO TO MARCHESA

Georgina Chapman’s fashion collection Marchesa is trying desperately to stay alive- but who will buy these dresses? Reports of Georgina’s soon-to-be-exhusband Harvey Weinstein strong-arming actresses into wearing his wife’s designs are rampant. Weinstein told Felicity Huffman if she didn’t wear a Marchesa dress to the premier of her movie Transamerica, her career would be OVER. Jessica Chastain flatly refused to let him tell her what to wear, and happily, her career is better than ever. Marchesa bravely introduced its Fall 2018 Collection today and we’re betting actresses will avoid the label like the plague. Time will tell…

MATT DAMON: LOOK! I CARRY MY WIFE’S HANDBAG!

Matt Damon seems to be tripping over his own words lately – he’s been forced to apologize several times over casual comments he’s made regarding the Me Too movement. Women are very sensitive these days and Matt’s longtime relationship with Harvey Weinstein made him a target from the beginning. Recently he decided it’s better just to not talk about the issue. Photos CAN be character revealing- only nice guys carry their wife’s handbag…

PRINCESS STEPHANIE STILL HAS A WEAKNESS FOR THE CIRCUS

Princess Stephanie, 52, the youngest daughter of Grace Kelly, is the right person to host the International Circus Festival in Monte Carlo – because she has plenty of circus experience. She was the wildest daughter – she had tattoos and moved to Hollywood for awhile where she modeled and tried to become a singer and dated Rob Lowe. When she returned to Europe she ran off with an elephant trainer and actually toured with the circus troup. Later she married and divorced a circus trapeze artist. So Stephanie knows her way around the Big Top and still loves it.

NO MORE VIDA LOCA FOR RICKY MARTIN

He was bundled up for the freezing weather, so Ricky Martin managed to walk through JFK with his luggage practically unnoticed. He’s busy promoting his FX movie The Assassination of Gianni Versace on American Crime Story, ahead of the premier Wednesday. Ricky, 46, and his husband, artist Jwan Yosef, and Ricky’s 10 year old twin sons have settled down (in a gorgeous house) in Los Angeles after touring for the past five years. We’re betting he’s aiming for an acting career…

CANDACE CAMERON: WEIRD MOTHER/DAUGHTER FASHION

Fuller House actress Candace Cameron, 41, is a regular performer on The Hallmark Channel so she was prominently featured at their official Press Tour. She’s pictured here with her daughter Natasha (she’s a singer) and we cannot take our eyes off their odd clothing! It almost looks like something from Tammy Wynette’s closet – vintage country-western apparel. The dresses are strange combination of textured sheer and opaque in dreary shades of mauve. Certainly not provocative –we can’t even IMAGINE what store these might have come from…

BLAKE LIVELY: THE NEXT LIAM NEESON?

Blake Lively has one of those faces that can assume a whole new identity just by adding a wig. She’s been filming her own action thriller, The Rhythm Section, in New York and her character has a number of “disguises.” She’s playing a women whose family is killed in a plane crash – on a flight that she was supposed to be on. Her distraught character learns it was an act of terrorism being covered up by the government and she is determined to find the truth. Hence the disguise. (Oh, and franchise is not out of the question.) It sure sounds like something Liam Neeson would have done…

JON CRYER HAS COME A LONG WAY SINCE “PRETTY IN PINK”

Jon Cryer looks like a whole new – and way more sinister- person with his shaved head. At least until he smiles. Charlie Sheen’s nice-guy costar on Two and a Half Men must be able to retire any time he wants to. Seems like his “Men” series is on TV several times EVERY day – the residuals must be mind boggling. With that kind of financial security, Jon can be choosy about his work. Cryer is married to entertainment reporter Lisa Joyner and they have a little girl Daisy (above.)
