THE TRUMP/ARNOLD FEUD IS BOUND TO BE MORE SENSATIONAL THAN THE BETTE/JOAN FEUD!

We are tickled pink by the mounting feud between two Republicans: Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold has been a die-hard Reagan Republican since he moved to LA and became a huge fan of the California governor. Last year, for the first time ever, Arnold could not support his party’s presidential candidate and tried to say so diplomatically – he advised voters to consider what’s best for their country instead of their party. Trump never forgets a slight and was delighted to pounce on Arnold when opening night ratings for Celebrity Apprentice (which Trump formerly hosted and still produces) were only so-so. Trump denounced Arnold and called himself a “ratings machine.” When Arnold announced Friday that he was not returning to host the show, Donald was thrilled and tweeted that he didn’t quit – “He was TERMINATED over pathetic ratings!” Arnold’s tweeted reply: ”You should think about hiring a new joke writer and fact checker!” He feels viewers shunned the show because of Trump’s connection. All we know is – this feud is going to get BETTER and BETTER- just watch and see!

PATTI SMITH IS DESIGNER ANN DEMEULEMEESTER’S MUSE

Belgium designer Ann Demeulemeester’s clothing has been described as “funereal” and it IS, but in a good way. The collection always has a lot of unique black suits with white shirts and this is one of our favorites from her fall collection. Ann’s biggest inspiration is singer Patti Smith and they have become great friends over the years. Smith’s influence is quite evident here and she always wears something of Ann’s when she’s onstage. A black suit with a white gauzy train – perfect for an award show.

PARIS JACKSON AND SOFIA RITCHIE: TWO BLACK GIRLS LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME

Ever since they were seen at a Golden Globes party hugging, Paris Jackson and Sofia Ritchie, both 18, have been hanging out together. They’ve actually been acquainted since they were kids and it makes sense that they’d become close pals because they have a mutual “problem”- both blonde girls insist they are black, and people around them express doubts! Sofia gained fame when she dated Justin Bieber when she was 17 and Paris has always been famous because her father was Michael Jackson. One fact for sure – both girls would be better off studying in a college dorm right now than nightclubbing in Hollywood.

SUCCESS LOOKS GOOD ON RAY LIOTTA

Jennifer Lopez’s Shades of Blue costar Ray Liotta, 62, is in New York promoting the series and he’s looking very smooth. Last summer the Goodfallas actor caused quite a stir- he appeared on a UK talk show looking a bit rough and slurring his words. (He walked onto the set and the first thing he did was spit out his gum!) Of course, he was accused of being drunk. Maybe it was jet lag. For an actor with a history of playing psychopaths, he looks quite refined for a meeting in Manhattan.

KENDALL JENNER IN PARIS: BEST DRESSED THIS WEEK

Sometimes Kendall Jenner looks even better OFF the runway than she does ON! We think she’s never looked more exquisite than she does here leaving the Louis Vuitton store during Paris Fashion Week. She’s quite elegant in this beautiful double-breasted suit – you’d never guess that last night she was getting rowdy at French strip club with a bunch of other models. She’s single these days – and looking for a guy with style also. We imagine she lands in Paris with empty suitcases because designers give her SO many free samples to take back!

GIGI HADID IS WAY MORE SOCIABLE THAN HER BOYFRIEND ZAYN MALIK

Yesterday Gigi Hadid made a personal appearance at the Tommy Hilfiger flagship store in Paris and it was an absolute mob scene. Hundereds of fans tried to catch a glimpse of her but we can’t help but wonder if they secretly hoped to see her shy boyfriend. Zayn Malik avoided the chaos but last night he accompanied Gigi to a festive Hilfiger dinner at a fancy French restaurant. Gigi is on an international tour promoting her Tommy X Gigi collection – will Zayn come along for the ride? They’re both wearing her sporty fashions – he certainly is easy on the eyes….

BIG BANG THEORY CAST MEMBERS ACTUALLY LIKE EACH OTHER!

We are SO impressed with The Big Bang Theory cast taking a pay cut so the two most recently added members can get a raise! This NEVER happens in Hollywood. Agents generally step in to make impossible demands and turn everyone against each other. Of course this series is a gold mine – it’s made a billion dollars world-wide, but that doesn’t stop leading characters from wanting MORE. Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg each agreed to cut their pay $100,000 a week so Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch can get a raise of $250,000 each. No surprise that this is a super-nice cast – last year Josh Brener, who was on the show for 3 years, found our runaway Bedlington Terrier trotting down the street and went out of his way to call and deliver Elvis back to our house. He said “I‘d like to have kept him but I already have too many dogs!”

MEET FAYE DUNAWAY’S “COMEDY COACH”

After insisting on being the one to name the Best Picture winner while paired as a presenter with Warren Beatty at the Oscars, Faye Dunaway ignored his hints and blurted the wrong name. During the melee that followed, Warren actively tried to examine and explain the mistake while Faye made a hasty retreat and refused to talk – leaving him holding the bag. Not very supportive. This reminded our friend Beth Lapides, who runs an alternative comedy show called Uncabaret on Sundays, of a story one of her comics told. His name is Mike McDonald, and he was Faye Dunaway’s “comedy coach” for a short time. You MUST listen to this – click below!

JAMES CORDEN’S ADVENTURES IN LA LA LAND

James Corden, 38, and his wife Julia dropped off their impossibly cute kids at school together. His Late Late Show started with low expectations, but now he’s being hailed as the new King of Late Night TV thanks to his Carpool Karoake videos. Corden’s songfest with Adele in his car was the most watched video on YouTube in 2016. He proved that TV ratings aren’t everything. After James dropped off Max, 6, and Carey, 2, at school in Brentwood, he and Julia drove away in his black Aston Martin convertible. This Brit is livin’ the LA life….

WHAT POSSESSED HALLE BERRY TO WEAR THIS AWFUL WIG TO THE OSCARS?

Halle Berry is lucky that the Best Picture mistaken identity episode occurred at the conclusion of the award show – otherwise everybody would be talking about her wig! She wins WORST HAIR at the event – hands down – and we pity everyone who had to sit behind her at the show! This wig was stiff as a board- didn’t move when she did, and sat on her head like a hat. Halle’s dress onstage was lovely but she changed before she and her WIG went to the Vanity Fair party (above.) Why she didn’t take the WIG off when she had the chance, is a mystery.
