SACHA BARON COHEN HAS NEWS FOR DONALD TRUMP

We didn’t realize that Sacha Baron Cohen has been feuding with Donald Trump for thirteen years. It all started back in 2003 when Cohen, playing his character Ali G, coaxed Trump into doing an interview for his HBO show. It only lasted for 60 seconds and Trump walked off in a huff. He failed to see the humor in Cohen’s show and described Cohen as a “third-rate loser” and a “disgrace.” When Cohen playfully pranked Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the 2012 Oscars, Trump observed that Cohen should have been beaten to the ground by security guards. Cohen’s character in the upcoming movie Greed is a takeoff on the vulgar rich. He’s an over-tanned cutthroat billionaire businessman who stashes his money offshore to avoid taxes and lives a gold-plated lavish lifestyle. Sounds like fun.

MARA TEIGEN: TINY DOGS AND BIG LIPS

Instagram model Mara Teigen gained some fame when she and her huge lips appeared in Kylie Jenner’s lipgloss commercial. She is also noted for her resemblance to Angelina Jolie, which we don’t quite see. She was photographed in a Beverly Hills hair salon today and apparently she’s got plenty of money – she paid $9000 for that adorable teacup Pomeranian on her lap. “Miss Amazing,” as Mara calls her pup, only weighed 1.2 pounds when Mara acquired her, and may never reach 3 pounds. As we recall, Paris Hilton started the designer dog trend in Hollywood.

LADY GAGA: 12 INCHES IN THE RIGHT PLACES

The streets of Paris were ALIVE today with dozens of giggly models who flew in to appear in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Not great news for girls of average height and looks, but Lady Gaga wasn’t bothered in the slightest. She added at least 12 inches to her height with massive platform heels (Take note, Mariah Carey, Gaga doesn’t need two men to hold her up!) The fashion addicted singer added 12 inches to each shoulder with her electric blue furry coat. Gaga looks pretty spectacular for an “average girl” – she was photographed on her way to the Grand Palais where the event is being held tonight.

NEIL SEDAKA IS STILL ON THE ROAD

Old school singer/songwriter Neil Sedaka popped into Craig’s for dinner and left with a doggie bag. The Breaking Up Is Hard to Do singer had a string of hits in the 60’s but feels The Beatles ruined his performing career by changing musical taste. He went on to great success as a songwriter with songs like Where the Boys Are. At 77, he still tours and performs in the US and around the world. In fact, he’s appearing at the Saban theater in Beverly Hills in January. We fondly remember his Scopitone video of Calendar Girl. Did you know he’s only 5’5” tall?

ASHLEE SIMPSON: LUCKY IN LOVE, NOT SO LUCKY IN BUSINESS

Ashlee Simpson, 32, got married to Evan Ross, 28, just in the nick of time when her career started going off the rails. She actually had a music career until 2009 when she was caught lip-syncing on Saturday Night Live and the public never forgave her. She had a few acting jobs but quit to try and resurrect her music career. She hoped to carve out a successful fashion business like her sister Jessica Simpson, but it fizzled out. She married Evan in 2014 and their baby girl Jagger is 1. Luckily, Evan has been getting acting jobs since he did The Hunger Games. He and Ashlee are optimistically planning to record together and introduce a his and hers fashion collection. Whatever – they seem happy and are obviously still best friends.

NO LONGER A WILD AND CRAZY GUY, STEVE MARTIN IS A DAD

Steve Martin, 71, never seemed particularly interested in kids so we were surprised when he became a father at 67! Steve married journalist Anne Stringfield, 44, in 2007 and they have a 4 year old daughter. Get this -NO ONE KNOWS HIS DAUGHTER’S NAME! Steve made a joke of it when his daughter was born – he wisecracked “We didn’t want to give her one of those weird Hollywood names so we named her Conquistador!” Of course that’s not her REAL name- that’s still a secret! Steve and Anne took their unidentified little girl to the petting zoo at the Farmer’s Market to see the baby goats.

NICK CANNON IS DUMBER THAN HE LOOKS: HE’S OPPOSED TO BIRTH CONTROL!

And we always thought Nick Cannon was a reasonably hip and cool guy. Right after he announced that he is expecting his third child with an EX-girlfriend, Nick started mouthing off on his archaic opinions about freedom of choice and birth control. He declared that abortion and birth control are sinister methods of genocide in the black community! Even worse, he is AGAINST Planned Parenthood – the clinics that serve communities with men’s and women’s healthcare, STD testing, and birth control. He‘s opposed to government support of Planned Parenthood! Shame on you Nick! Did you ever consider all the unwanted children who end up in foster homes and prison? Grow up!

TEA LEONI AND HER MINI-DUCHOVNY

Madame Secretary star Tea Leoni and her fourteen year old son Kyd went on a Starbucks coffee run in Malibu and we are struck by how much he resembles his dad David Duchovny. Tea says divorcing “sex addict” Duchovny was hard on her kids for awhile, but now they are friends an she is happily divorced. She and David live five blocks apart so he sees the kids frequently. Brad Pitt would probably love to have such a civilized divorce. As for Tea, she’s busy keeping company with her series costar Tim Daly, who is presumably NOT a sex addict.

IS KANYE WEST PSYCHOTIC – OR PULLING A FAST ONE?

We can hardly WAIT to find out if Kanye West collects that 30 million dollars from the insurance company covering his tour! The fact that he impetuously called OFF the 21 concert tour and 6 hours later checked himself into a mental health facility is, indeed, suspicious. His doctor at first gave that old Hollywood excuse “dehydration and overwork” which usually means mental issues and drugs. Later, the doc described Kanye’s condition as “temporary psychosis.” The insurance policy would pay not only Kanye’s salary, but all of the people working with him, dancers, venues etc. But did he DISCLOSE his mental health problems when he bought the policy? Is this all a scam like many suspect the Paris robbery was?
