GOOD NEWS! WILL & GRACE WILL NOT PICK UP WHERE IT LEFT OFF!

The Will & Grace series reboot (starting in September) is creating such a stir at NBC that not only did the network up the first season from 12 to 16 episodes, but they renewed it for a second year! On the series finale 11 years ago, Will and Grace were no longer friends and they had children. Fortunately, creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan realize that everyone loved the original Will and Grace as roommates and they plan to ignore that finale and brainstormed a way to have them living together again. So the new series will have all the best features of the original. And they WON’T be parents.

HALLE BERRY CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF

Seems like forever since we saw Halle Berry in a movie and we particularly love her playing “women in peril” so we’re looking forward to her new film Kidnap. She’s been promoting it all over New York and looking quite beautiful. It’s hard to believe she turns 51 this month. Halle says she works out almost every day and watches her diet because she’s diabetic and it helps her avoid insulin shots. AND her efforts obviously keep her looking very young….

OUR CASTING SUGGESTION: ARIEL WINTER SHOULD PLAY MONICA LEWINSKY

Speaking of Monica Lewinsky, we decided the reason she’s suddenly become visible again is because, not one but TWO movies about her are in the process of being assembled. Amazon is making “Linda and Monica” about Monica’s relationship with Linda Tripp, her co-worker at the pentagon who secretly taped their conversations about Bill Clinton. Ryan Murphy is planning to film the entire scandal for American Crime Story and he’s currently casting. Who could play Monica better than Modern Family’s 19 year old naughty girl Ariel Winter? We hope she gets at least one of the roles.

THE AMAZING STORY OF ANGELINE’S TRUE IDENTITY!

Omigosh! One of the longest lingering mysteries of Hollywood has been solved by Gary Baum at The Hollywood Reporter – NOT The National Enquirer! The REAL identity of billboard pinup icon Angelyne has been uncovered and it’s more fascinating than one could imagine! Angelyne was born Renee Goldberg, she grew up in the San Fernando Valley, and attended Monroe High School. (The photo below is her class picture in 1967.) She was the daughter of Polish Jews who survived concentration camps and emigrated to Israel and ended up in the Fairfax district in Los Angeles before moving to the valley. She had a short marriage to the son of a Beverly Hills executive who described her as a “gorgeous redhead” in those days. After that she invented her new self. Angelyne and her longtime assistant/friend Scott Hennig (pictured above) resisted all inquiries about her beginnings and identity change. Click HERE to read the entire captivating story!

ROCCO RITCHIE WON’T BE HAPPY TO SEE THIS

Uh oh. Even Rocco Ritchie can have girlfriend problems. While his pal Brooklyn Beckham is in Los Angeles crushing on actress Madison Beer, Rocco’s model girlfriend Kim Turnbull is in Barbados frolicking in the ocean with good looking another guy. Kim is Rocco’s first serious girlfriend since he moved to London to live with his father Guy Ritchie. Rocco turns 17 this month and Kim is the same age.

THE AWARD FOR LONGEVITY GOES TO NANCY SINATRA SR

Frank Sinatra’s fourth wife Barbara died this week at the age of 90 and we got to thinking about what’s left of his family. Frank’s daughters Nancy Jr and Tina made no mention of Barbara’s passing because, according to Roger Friedman, they never got along. Tina and Nancy always hoped their father would re-marry their mother (his first wife Nancy) and grow old with her, but his marriage to Barbara dashed that dream. Frank’s last marriage did last for 22 years. Most surprising is the fact that Frank’s first wife Nancy is still alive and kicking and in March she celebrated her 100th birthday!

ADRIAN BRODY HAS LOST INTEREST IN HOLLYWOOD

All we know is, Adrian Brody met his Russian model girlfriend Lara Lieto at the Cannes Film Festival in 2013, and he hasn’t been separated from her for a moment since. Not only are they glued at the hip, but they are almost always in St Tropez. Adrian won an Oscar in 2002 for The Pianist but doesn’t seem to be overworking lately. He DOES spend a lot of time lounging on yachts with Lara. Not a bad life. We ARE fascinated by her outfit…

AMY SCHUMER IS A BIGGER DEAL THAN WE REALIZED

When we walked out of her movie “Snatched” we were ready to give up on Amy Schumer. It was all just too dumb and embarrassing for the actors involved. Too vulgar and lacking subtlety. Sometimes Amy IS really funny, but all too often she relies on imitating male comics with gross humor. But since we learned that she is the FIRST AND ONLY female comic to make the Forbes list of Highest Paid Comics (in 2016) we’re willing to make allowances and forgive her shortcomings. She’s smart and making progress for women in the boys’ club world of comedy and we need more women like her!

BLAC CHYNA: SOME PEOPLE JUST SHOULDN’T WEAR SPANDEX

Blac Chyna, 29, was not able to acquire the Kardashian name so apparently she decided to out-do them all in the butt department. Today she went shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue (with her new boyfriend) wearing spandex shorts. Can you imagine what the salesladies in Saks were thinking? We assume Rob Kardashian was at home eating his heart out…

HAS PRINCE ALBERT BITTEN OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW?

Wow! We did a double-take when we saw this photo of Prince Albert II of Monaco and his wife Princess Charlene because Royalty rarely looks like THIS! Princess Charlene is 5’10” and a former Olympic swimmer, but in this photo she looks like a Hollywood star. It makes sense that Albert would have a trophy wife – for years he was labeled the “Playboy Prince.” When he was younger, Albert LOVED to party with beautiful women – he was linked to models Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell, among many others. He also supports two illegitimate kids in the US – one with a flight attendant and one with a waitress – one black and one white. Princess Charlene reminds us of a young Brigitte Neilsen at the Monaco Red Cross Ball Gala, above.
