THE GOOD SIDE OF ANGELINA AND BRAD’S DIVORCE

There’s one person who can’t help being happy about Angelina Jolie’s split with Brad Pitt and THAT is Ray Donovan star Jon Voight. Now that Angelina has lost her best and perhaps ONLY friend (Brad) she is forced to turn to her relatives for help. Her brother James Haven moved in with her and helps coordinate things with the kids and their nannies. Now that she’s living in LA, Angelina has allowed her somewhat estranged father Jon Voight back into her life. (We’re guessing that it helps that he’s now on a hot TV show.) Recently Jon and Angie brought Vivienne for an afternoon of pottery decorating at Color Me Mine.

DEADPOOL 2 IS LIVING UP TO ITS TITLE

The movie Deadpool 2 could not have been more aptly named. TWO stunt people are dead, and for no good reason. Why isn’t the director David Leitch being called out as responsible for this obviously neglectful situation? Marvel Comics should be ashamed. Leitch and other male directors are pressured to feed the ever-accelerating thirst by their male audience for more and more horrific and mindless violence. Whatever the cost. It’s time to stop and think – is it worth it? We look forward to the filmmakers being held responsible for these two unnecessary deaths.

ELVIS PRESLEY: WE NEVER FORGOT THOSE WORDS

This week is the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death and Graceland in Memphis is a mob scene as usual. It’s amazing how that hillbilly singer became a lifetime idol for so many. (We always loved his collar-up bad boy look from the 50’s) We did have one memorable but short personal encounter with Elvis. One day we were driving our sparkling turquoise blue convertible on Sunset Strip waiting patiently at a red light. A long black limo pulled up next to us and a guy in the passenger seat turned around and looked us right in the eye and said “Hiya, baby!” That crooked smile! It was ELVIS! We felt our body temperature immediately change and we absolutely froze. The light changed and the limo zoomed away before we could stammer a response! It was a little bit of heaven…

DEBRA MESSING KNOWS A GOOD PARTY WHEN SHE SEES ONE

We happen to LOVE parties in stores because you can socialize, indulge, and shop at the same time! In Style magazine takes it a step further with their yearly Indulgence party for female celebrities only. It’s held at a rambling Brentwood home and every room is a gifting suite for designers clothing and cosmetic lines. This year luggage was offered to everyone to stuff with their acquisitions. Shopping without having to pay sounds like heaven, and it is. To keep up their strength the pampered celebs have top catering companies with tables of all kinds of amazing food, cocktails – and desserts galore. Poolside massages and spa treatments abound. And guests can gossip with all their friends throughout. Men were hired to carry all the ladies’ loot to their cars. No wonder the famous faces turn out by the dozen…..

(Above, Debra Messing even took a salad to go)

GEORGE HAMILTON AND ALANA STEWART: HOLLYWOOD’S MOST SUCCESSFUL DIVORCE

They were divorced over 40 years ago, but George Hamilton and Alana Stewart are still the best of friends. (Above, at Craig’s for dinner) Two years ago they had their own reality show, Stewarts & Hamiltons, on E!, and for maybe the first time all their kids had paying jobs (Kimberly Stewart, Sean Stewart, Ashley Hamilton etc) Too bad, they couldn’t “keep up with the Kardashians” on the same network, and ratings were disappointing – the show was canceled after 8 episodes.

STEPHEN DORFF CAN’T SHAKE THE LUST FOR CIGARETTES

Look who’s walking out of Barneys in Beverly Hills- it’s Stephen Dorff, and he’s not exactly a regular shopper there. Fashion isn’t his thing – in fact we rarely see him in anything but white t-shirt and jeans. We’re betting he bought a nice gift for somebody. Dorff, 44, has been a slave to cigarettes for years – he chainsmoked two packs a day and admits he “smelled like an ashtray.” Not only did he do ads for electronic cigarettes, but last we heard, he still smokes the real thing. It was reported a few years ago that he was diagnosed with emphysema – not sure what happened with that.

“THINGS” ARE LOOKING UP FOR MILLIE BOBBY BROWN

Millie Bobby Brown is only 13 but she already has a unique style that is actually well suited to her Stranger Things out of this world character. She’s the breakout star of the series, now in its second season, and already has a SAG Award. Her family gambled their future to move to LA for Millie’s career but it paid off. British born Millie already has a starring role in the Godzilla Sequal and a stack of other offers.

ONE JENNIFER LOPEZ IS NOT ENOUGH

We still get a kick out of celebrities” lookalike stunt doubles and Jennifer Lopez has a cute one this season on the set of Shades of Blue. Her doubles only do the very rigorous action scenes and if the action is TOO violent they put a Jennifer wig on a slim guy. Wonder if the lookalike ever uses the resemblance to get into a club or something…

ROBERT PATTINSON BETTER NOT LOSE HIS HAIR

Why? It’s his most redeeming feature. That gorgeous mane of hair enthralled countless fans for the four years of the Twilight series. But Robert Pattinson found out he doesn’t LIKE being popular. He loathed the press and paparazzi who documented his every move, and found himself hiding in car trunks and wearing disguises -all the while feeling terribly sorry for himself. To put it mildly, he didn’t enjoy his fame. Other young actors would have killed for Pattinson’s notoriety, but Rob hated every minute. Since Twilight he’s done a lot of unmemorable films and made himself less interesting to the press. We predict his career will last as long as that HAIR lasts, without an attitude change.

TAYLOR SWIFT DOES THE RIGHT THING- THE COURT ARTIST DOESN’T

This courtroom sketch of Taylor Swift is incredible in its awfulness, but we are SO proud of Taylor for taking the time to follow through on this lawsuit and reveal former radio host David Mueller for the smarmy lout that he is. Obviously he didn’t know WHO he was taking on here! He had the colossal nerve to sue Swift after she told his boss he groped her and the boss decided to fire him. Swift’s testimony in court has been confident, smart, and to the point. Mueller’s own actions caused his termination. His goose is justifiably cooked and we wonder if he still has that girlfriend in the photograph of the incident…
