TOM CRUISE WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE’S STILL THE MAN

Funny how whenever Tom Cruise, 54, films some sort of macho action scene or stunt he MAKES SURE the paparazzi are alerted and lined up to catch the photos. Yesterday he rehearsed and filmed a motorcycle scene riding through the streets of Paris for Mission Impossible 6 and he winked and smiled at every opportunity. He’s setting an awful example by not wearing a helmet – but that would have interfered with his carefully coiffed hair.

JEREMY MEEKS: WE LOVE A TOUGH GUY WITH A SHOPPING BAG

Little did the Stockton, California, police department realize when they posted Jeremy Meeks’ mugshot on Facebook that they would make him a celebrity! Our favorite “hot Convict” shopped in Beverly Hills yesterday – he made a point of visiting the Philipp Plein store – Jeremy modeled for the designer at New York Fashion Week. Meeks had a setback last week when he was banned from entering the UK where he was hosting a party for his cover on Man About Town magazine. But otherwise he’s amazed and grateful for new opportunities.

WORST DRESSED THIS WEEK: TINA KNOWLES

Not long ago we were wondering “Whatever happened to Tina Knowles’ fashion business?“ The answer is “nothing good” if her outfit today is any indication. Beyonce’s pretty mother appeared on Extra dressed like THIS. This ill-fitting, unflattering suit features a gaudy chartreuse floral and houndstooth print and not a single hint of contemporary style. To her credit, Tina IS quite involved in philanthropic work and especially the mentoring of young women.

JOE JONAS STILL HAS THAT CLEAN-CUT LOOK

Joe Jonas and his DNCE bandmate Cole Whittle are relaxing with a cold drink in New York. Every time we see Joe and his new band we are struck by how out of place he looks with the rest of them. Joe IS trying to distance himself from his Disney beginnings, but he hasn’t picked up any style tips from the rest of group and he still LOOKS rather conservative. Joe’s successful and happy though – now he can play the music his brothers didn’t want to.

THE KARDASHIANS ARE TURNING AGAINST CAITLYN JENNER

Caitlyn Jenner is promoting her new book “The Secrets of my Life” to DEATH, but it’s not selling like wildfire. And that’s FINE with the Kardashians. The girls are angry because they feel Caitlyn is speaking negatively about their mother. Caitlyn has implied that if ex-wife Kris had been more “understanding” they might still be married! Did Caitlyn actually think she and Kris could become best girl friends and go shopping together? In fact, Caitlyn believes her whole family is not supportive enough. They rarely see each other any more and there are no Kardashians at Caitlyn’s book signings. We think Caitlyn needs to be more understanding – watching one’s husband or father become a woman can be traumatizing.

RITA ORA IS LOOKING FOR ATTENTION

Rita Ora is back to wearing her paparazzi-attracting outfits on the street because she’s out of a job again. Rita was thrilled when producer Tyra Banks decided to take a break after 23 years (!) hosting VH1’s America’s Next Top Model and handed the job to the fashion-addicted UK pop singer. Rita figured hosting the established series might turn out to be a long term gig. No such luck. After one season of blah ratings, Tyra is taking her job BACK. Both women are denying there’s any animosity but we can detect hurt feelings – and Rita’s back to singing…

SEAN HAYES: JUST JACK IS ON HIS WAY BACK!

Sean Hayes is under the radar, shopping in Beverly Hills, while we are waiting anxiously for the new episodes of Will & Grace, set to film this summer. We though it was one of the best written sitcoms of all time – until it jumped the shark when Debra Messing got pregnant. How NBC managed to get the same cast, producers, and director back remains a miracle. Times have changed a lot since Jack was working at Bloomingdale’s, and new story lines abound.

EDGAR RAMIREZ IS A DEAD RINGER FOR GIANNI VERSACE

Whoa! We just got a glimpse of the awful things to come next season on Versace: American Crime Story. Venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez bears a startling resemblance to the designer and it appears they’re filming the murder scene in Miami Beach. Gianni Versace was murdered by a serial killer on the doorstep of his beachside home. It was rumored that Lady Gaga would play Donatella Versace but Ryan Murphy admitted that scheduling didn’t work out. Penelope Cruz got the part and we bet Donatella is highly flattered!

JAKE HOFFMAN IS STILL ASPIRING

Dustin Hoffman’s cute son Jake Hoffman, 36, is still a struggling actor/director, but he always has a towering model-quality girlfriend to keep him company. Jake went to film school at NYU and he played shoe mogul Steve Madden in The Wolf of Wall Street. You may remember him from Ray Donovan last season. He’s directed a few short movies and music videos but has yet to hit it big. He needs a movie like The Graduate..

PR SAVVY RICHARD SIMMONS: IS HE PULLING A FAST ONE ON US?

Awhile back when Richard Simmons went into hiding under mysterious circumstances, we felt sorry for him – sensing he was having some sort of physical or mental problems. The fact that he has not been SEEN for years makes everyone assume his is radically changed somehow – perhaps grossly overweight, crippled, or like the Enquirer suggested, living as a woman. He’s had two suspicious hospital stays this year – were they really for plastic surgery, liposuction, transitioning? This week’s exit from the hospital suggests that Richard is turning into some sort of melodramatic Sunset Boulevard character and enjoys every moment of it. Imagine being hustled out of the hospital covered entirely by a blanket with a police escort to shoo the paparazzi! SOMETHING was under that blanket! Richard just upped the ante – the first photo of him is now worth BIG BUCKS! Is he manipulating all this or is he an innocent recluse?
