BRUNO MARS IN HIGH HEELS

Bruno Mars livened up the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in Paris with his energetic music (we’re never quite sure what the point of these underwear shows is) but the most fun part was Bruno dancing around the statuesque models in his fur coat. The 5’5” dynamo was prepared for the event – he wore his HIGHEST HEELS! Heels on the outside of his boot were at least 3 inches, and it was evident that the inside was equally built up by the way his pants bunched over the boots. Did he visit Tom Cruise’s shoemaker for special lifts? Even with the extra inches Bruno was dwarfed by the models in stilettos, but that’s one of the things we love about him.

GIGI HADID: THE GIRL MOST LIKELY

Gigi Hadid attends The Fashion Awards 2016 at the Royal Albert Hall in London

Gigi Hadid, 21, turned up at the highly competitive Fashion Awards 2016 in the UK looking spectacular for the stylish event. She knocked it out of the park. And she did it without anything too low cut, sheer, no cutouts, or high slits. She’s elegant without being hypersexualized. Looks like her mother raised her right! Appropriately, the ambitious model was named Model of the Year at the event. Gigi indicated she aspires to MORE than modeling when she hosted the American Movie Awards last month. Her relaxed and outgoing personality must perplex her boyfriend Zayn Malik, who suffers from crippling stage fright. She might be the best thing for him – or she might leave him in the dust.

FURTHER ADVENTURES OF FAYE DUNAWAY AND HER GLOVES

One thing about Faye Dunaway – she is NEVER boring. That’s why we love any kind of news about her. She appeared to be very happy and in a Christmassy mood while shopping at The Grove today with her assistant. Years ago we wrote about Faye wearing plastic gloves at a chicken fast food restaurant where she weighed her food. She also wears plastic food handling gloves while she’s out running errands like picking up dry cleaning. Faye loves gloves with her evening wear also – she wore odd yellow leather gloves to a Vanity Fair Oscar party and was described as looking like she “rushed straight to the party from the kitchen sink.” Is she germ conscious? She wore just one glove (white with a black ruffle on the wrist) on her right hand at The Grove, and it was clutching the assistant’s hand. It got us wondering…

MARION COTILLARD AND THE INFLATABLE DRESS

We love Marion Cotillard and usually her fashion is right on target- how did she go so WRONG? We suspect some designer pal or stylist talked the pregnant actress into this and from the look on her face – she realized too late it was a huge mistake. The frock vaguely resembles a formal circus tent – it looks capable of standing up by itself. Marion is expecting her second child with her husband Guillaume Canet and no doubt some day they will look back at this photo and laugh.

NICOLE SCHERZINGER HAS A JOAN CRAWFORD MOMENT

Maybe it’s the liberal application of makeup, but Nicole Scherzinger DOES remind us of Joan Crawford here. Nicole has come a long way since she put The Pussycat Dolls on the map as lead singer. Surprisingly, she can dance as well as she sings – she was the winner on Dancing with the Stars in 2010. Despite her obvious assets, her solo recording success has mostly been in the UK. She does The X Factor there and got good reviews onstage in a Cats revival. In this photo she’s wearing more clothing than we’ve ever seen her wear.

RIHANNA IS NOT ALONE ON THE SUBWAY

Here’s something you don’t see very often – Rihanna waiting ALONE for a train at a Brooklyn station. (Rihanna alone ANYWHERE is hard to imagine!) Actually the entire female cast of Oceans Eight filmed on the subway today, but Rihanna’s character looks like she really belongs there. We’re told Rihanna wears clothes from her own Fenty X Puma collection when she reports for filming every day, but her film wardrobe is less festive. We don’t know how her clothes are selling, but her shoe collection is very cool and sold out almost everywhere.

ROBERT SMITH OF THE CURE: IMITATION IS THE SINCEREST FORM OF FLATTERY

Robert Smith of The Cure no longer looks much like Johnny Depp’s Edward Scissorhands character, but at 57, he’s still going strong. Scissorhand director Tim Burton is a lifetime fan of the band and asked them to do music for the movie, but at the time The Cure was too busy. So Tim gave Johnny’s character the Robert Smith teased-hair white-face look. Songwriter/musician Smith is the only remaining original band member and we had to laugh when we heard there’s a tribute ban performing in the UK called Fat Bob and the Cureheads.

RONALD REAGAN’S STOVE CAN NOW BE YOURS (FOR A GOOD CAUSE!)

While browsing eBay for midcentury items, we came upon this amazing stove from the home of Ronald Reagan. After Nancy Reagan’s death, the Bel Air house was sold and most contents auctioned off. Apparently this stove was too large for the auction so it was donated to the Junior Blind Foundation. Alas, it’s too big for our kitchen! Since proceeds go to the charity so it’s probably a tax write-off. It looks like it’s from the 50’s – this O’Keefe and Merritt stove features 6 burners, 2 ovens, a broiler and warming oven – a bonanza of cooking potential! The auction starts at $5000. We can just imagine Ronnie scrambling eggs in his bathrobe…
Here’s the eBay item number: 122244621086.

DAMIAN HURLEY: DADDY’S RICH AND MOM IS GOOD LOOKING!

He’s only FOURTEEN YEARS OLD, but Elizabeth Hurley’s son with wealthy American film producer Steve Bing already has a TV series. Elizabeth had a short relationship with Bing in 2001 and when she became pregnant, the confirmed playboy demanded a paternity test to prove he was the father. When it turned out he WAS the father, Bing set aside a bundle of money that Damian Hurley will receive when he comes of age. Lucky Damian inherited Elizabeth’s good looks and happens to be costarring with his mother on E!’s The Royals, premiering this month. He also has a big crush on Kaia Gerber, 15.

YES, KIM AND KANYE ARE ON THIN ICE

Kim Kardashian shows off her sexy curves for a friend's wedding

Ignore the denials, there’s NO WAY Kim Kardashian is not rethinking her marriage at this point. Kanye has been unraveling for over at year and making her life miserable. They bought a house two years ago and haven’t been able to move in because Kanye keeps changing his mind about remodeling and décor. He orders rooms to be rebuilt and then tears it all down. After having it redecorated and furnished, he disliked the results and sent everything back and hired a new decorator. It’s nowhere near inhabitable and Kanye is still complaining. Kim was left to pay for the ten million spent on the house so far. After her Paris robbery, Kim wanted a whole lot of attention and sympathy and Kanye was too busy to give her more than a few days. They are both exceedingly needy. She moved herself and kids in with her mother. Kim’s family will NOT talk about Kanye because they all have reservations about him. After the Lamar Odom situation, the Kardashians don’t have high hopes that Kanye will change.
