KIM KARDASHIAN’S HIPS DON’T LIE – OR DO THEY?

This turned out to be the most mesmerizing photo of the day. Kim Kardashian goes out of her way to emphasize her extreme shape by wearing an illusionary leotard under skin-tight jeans. Not long ago, a girl with this body would have RUSHED to a plastic surgeon for liposuction on her hips. Now girls visit the plastic surgeon to get BIGGER hips! Kim made it seem okay to have such large hips and that’s probably a good thing. But we doubt if we’ll ever see this look on a runway….

MICHAEL MADSEN: POET IN A TRUCKER HAT

The Hateful Eight star Michael Madsen, 58, has nothing but love for his son Luke as they visit a doctor in Beverly Hills. Who would have guessed that Madsen is also a poet and has had several books of poetry published! He has five sons and one of them, Christian, is also an actor. Between Tarantino films, Michael churns out numerous low budget thrillers and makes a good living. Too bad about the hats…

VERSACE: AMERICAN CRIME STORY IS AN ELABORATE RE-ENACTMENT

Ryan Murphy is a stickler for authenticity so it’s no surprise that he rented Gianni Versace’s Miami mansion, where he was killed in 1997, as a filming location for Versace: American Crime Story. The elaborate house is now a boutique hotel, Villa Casa Casuarina, with ten rooms retaining many Versace features. All the rooms are ultra-fancy (gaudy and very Trumpish with lots of gold) and go for over a thousand dollars a night. So you can imagine what it cost for ACS to rent the whole place for the month of May. Ricky Martin is playing Versace’s boyfriend Antonio and we look forward to seeing him in a Speedo around the pool.

ADAM SANDLER: IT’S TIME TO GROW UP!

From what we’ve heard, Adam Sandler is an awfully nice guy, but that doesn’t excuse his boorish appearance. In what universe is it acceptable for a successful 50 year old man to show up for lunch at an expensive upscale restaurant (E. Baldi) in Beverly Hills, looking like THIS? Guess what, Adam, you’re a grown man now and you dress like a CHILD! It can only be an insult to the people you’re eating with. It’s time to put more effort into your appearance, Adam, and it wouldn’t hurt to do the same for your film scripts…

JENNIFER LOPEZ: MEN AREN’T THE ONLY ONES WHO LOOK GOOD IN A UNIFORM

Forget about a MAN IN A UNIFORM, Jennifer Lopez looks amazing in her NYPD dress uniform! And that’s not easy in those men’s shoes. Two days ago she was dressed to kill (and surprisingly covered up) at the Met Gala with boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, but we think she looks even better here! They were filming a funeral scene for Shades of Blue today in a Brooklyn cemetery. Presumably a police officer was killed, but it wasn’t Ray Liotta’s character.

BELLA HADID DOING HER BEST BLAC CHYNA IMITATION

What possessed a perfectly lovely model like Bella Hadid to dress like a desperate-for-attention stripper at the Met after party? Was she trying to get her exboyfriend The Weeknd to take his eyes off his tastefully attired new girlfriend Selena Gomez? We wonder why her girlfriends like Kendall Jenner or Hailey Baldwin didn’t intervene and tell her what they really thought of her get-up.

KATY PERRY MASH-UP AT THE MET GALA: ALMOST THE WORST DRESSED

Martin Margiela just might be in a twist over Katy Perry’s Maison Margiela dress at the Met Gala, which was custom designed by John Galliano, who took his place. Katy’s gown was the antithesis of Margiela’s fashion theory of shocking simplicity with avant-garde shapes. Galliano’s red dress is gaudy and fussy and loaded with ruffles and straps – resulting in a pleasantly colored shapeless mass. When it comes to designing, Galliano doesn’t make a lot of mistakes, but this is one of them…

MET GALA 2017: ONLY THE COURAGEOUS DARE TO WEAR COMMES DES GARCONS

The theme for this year’s Met Gala was Commes des Garcons by our favorite designer Rei Kawakubo and the dress code, of course, was avant-garde. Not many guests had the courage to WEAR Commes des Garcons because it takes a very brave celebrity to do so. Kawakubo’s designs are structured enough to go out by themselves and not many woman (especially performers) are willing to cover their bodies and not look sexy. Two of the bravest attendees actually wearing Commes des Garcons were Rihanna and Rick Owens’ wife Michele Lamy. We salute them!

TOMMY CHONG HAS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

When we saw this photo of Tommy Chong leaving a Brentwood restaurant with a flirtatious blonde we thought he was fooling around on his wife with a younger woman. But no, it turns out THIS IS HIS WIFE. And they’ve been married with kids for 43 years! Tommy, at 78, is ten years older than Shelby, but she looks several decades younger. Shelby, an actress/producer, has kept her youthful exuberance – maybe living with a comedian is not so bad…

DOES KANYE WEST THINK SOMEONE’S OUT TO GET HIM?

We used to see a lot of him, but lately a Kanye West sighting is a rare thing. The National Enquirer insists that Kanye has taken to wearing a bullet proof vest when he leaves home because he feels like a target. He HAS increased security since Kim was robbed but he is staying out of the limelight. This weekend he launched his new Adidas Yeezy collection which attracted quite a crowd of shoppers – but no Kanye. One thing for sure – Kim is NOT wearing a bullet proof vest….
