TOM CRUISE’S MISSION IMPOSSIBLE IS FINDING A GIRLFRIEND

This is actress Rebecca Ferguson and she might be the reason Tom Cruise moved to the UK. Tom took a liking to her when he saw her in The White Queen and hired her as his leading lady in his last Mission Impossible-Rogue Nation movie in 2015. She was a newcomer when she was called to his office expecting to audition, and shocked when he told her it wasn’t necessary “You’ve got the job!” Sound familiar? That’s how Tom met Nicole Kidman and Rebecca has been described as a young version of Nicole. She played a kick-ass character who did almost as many stunts as Tom – but it turned out she was living with a boyfriend and not available for romancing at that time. Fast forward to 2017 and her character has been written into the new Mission Impossible script and coincidentally she has broken up with her boyfriend! Stay tuned.

EDWARD NORTON AND HIS SON ATLAS

Fight Club star Edward Norton is one of the most elusive and secretive celebrities we know. Once our gazes met across the room at a large New York party – he flinched. By the time we managed to navigate the crowded room to ask him about his ex-girlfriend Courtney Love, he had DISAPPEARED entirely from the event. He secretly married movie producer Shauna Robertson in 2012 and they had a baby boy. Nobody knew the boy’s name for two years – it’s Atlas! (Can you imagine the teacher calling on him in school?) Quite a name to live up to! Edward, 47, and Atlas, 4, were seen waiting for a car in Manhattan.

LOWRIDER: EAST LA PHENOMENON WORTH REVISITING

Long ago, when we first moved to Los Angeles from Chicago, we immediately fell head over heels in love with the East LA low rider culture and lifestyle. We already had a weakness for big American vintage cars and these guys spent mucho time and money bringing rusty wrecks back to life and far beyond. The custom paint jobs sparkled like diamonds and they could make the cars hop up and down at will. On weekends cholos paraded the cars on boulevards and lowrider car shows had hopping contests. We had never seen anything like it. The movie Lowrider opens this weekend starring Gabriel Chavarria, above, and – surprise-Eva Longoria plays his mother! And of course, CARS! CARS! CARS!

PARIS JACKSON IS IN LOVE AND SHE MIGHT PLAY MADONNA IN A MOVIE!

Paris Jackson has been professing her love with tender words and photos all over Instagram. She’s in love with her dog and admits she not only is crazy about her pet, but admits the pooch is so far the love of her life. The dog is wearing a little vest that indicates it’s a service dog- most likely giving emotional support. Paris has had her share of emotional and substance problems in the past. Right now Paris is being courted to star as a young Madonna in Blonde Ambition – based on Madonna’s early years in New York in the 80’s. There IS a resemblance.

REBEL WILSON’S GOT A BIG STUNTMAN BOYFRIEND

Glee star Rebel Wilson, 37, was forbidden to lose weight while she was on the show, but now she spends considerable time in the gym. Back when she was living in Australia, Rebel had a deal with Jenny Craig but that fell thru when she joined Glee. The gym could be where she met her new boyfriend – stuntman/actor Aden Stay – her companion at the MTV Movie Awards. She introduced him as her “sexy date.” This week they were photographed together in New York waiting for an Uber. Cute couple.

DAVID SPADE IS DATING “UP” AGAIN

In his own quiet way, David Spade, 52, IS quite a ladies man. Through the years the former SNL comic has dated numerous models and actresses (most of them taller than him) including Nicollette Sheridan and Heather Locklear. He makes them laugh. Since January he’s been keeping company with Maxim model and Glee actress Naya Rivera, 30. They were even seen frolicking in a pool in Hawaii. After winking that they were “just friends” they came out in the open last night on a dinner date at Catch in West Hollywood.

DETAILS MATTER IN VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY

Ricky Martin must be excited about his role in Versace: American Crime Story – it will probably open doors for him in Hollywood. Puerto Rican born Ricky did a little acting in Mexico before he returned to music and became an international pop star. He’s playing Antonio D’Amico, Gianni Versace’s good looking boyfriend of fifteen years. He and Edgar Ramirez as Gianni, filmed a beachside scene today in Miami. Versace was killed in 1997 and his sister Donatella has never gotten along with Antonio. We love that “Antonio” is carrying i-D magazine from 1994 with Kylie Minogue on the cover – the coolest fashion periodical of the 90’s. Nice touch.

CARA DELEVINGNE AND HER SHAVED HEAD ARE TOUGHER THAN YOU

Cara Delevingne is not in the music business (she’s an actress/model) but she looks more rock n’ roll than any of the rockers at the MTV Movie Awards, and futuristic, too. Shaved heads for bold women is absolutely becoming a thing as more and more build up their courage. Kristen Stewart certainly inspired a lot of young females to cut it all off. A skinhead is way more rebellious than tattoos or piercings (and less permanent!)

GWEN STEFANI’S SON KINGSTON ALREADY LOOKS LIKE A ROCK STAR

Is there any doubt that Kingston Rossdale, who’s only 10, will end up in the music business? He’s a dead ringer for his handsome dad (that face!) Gavin Rossdale (and an every day reminder to his mom Gwen of her ex-husband.) Both of Kingston’s parents are in the music business, as well as Gwen’s new boyfriend Blake Shelton. Kingston and his two brothers seem to have taken a liking to Blake and they spend time together. It’s interesting that Gavin Rossdale is now a coach on the UK version of The Voice – the same show where Gwen and Blake met.

IT’S 1977, AND IGGY POP AND DAVID BOWIE ARE ON THE DINAH SHORE SHOW!!!

Iggy Pop & David Bowie – The Dinah! Show – Complete – 1977 from Nacho's Productions on Vimeo.

Wow – our brainy and obsessive friends at Dangerous Minds excavated this fascinating video from 1977 of Iggy Pop and David Bowie introducing punk rock to talk show host Dinah Shore and her other guest Rosemary Clooney. Video quality varies back and forth, but Iggy and David perform at the beginning and end of the segment so it’s worth hanging in there. Band members include Tony Sales and Hunt Sales – sons of Soupy Sales. David chainsmokes through the whole interview.
