WE LOVE BRAD PITT, BUT HE’S NO CLARK GABLE

One of the main reasons to see Allied is the revelation that Brad Pitt is absolutely gorgeous in vintage 1940’s apparel. He is a dream walking in gabardine and bears more than a slight resemblance to Clark Gable. But sadly, without Gable’s charm! For whatever reason, Brad’s character is stiff and humorless. It’s an old-fashioned love story set during WWII, but while Marion Cotillard’s character is radiant and fun, Brad’s spy character almost never smiles. It’s a beautiful to look at tragic love story, but we never shed a tear. Something was missing…

KHLOE KARDASHIAN: THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE YOU SHOULD NEVER STAND NEXT TO

Hasn’t publicity hungry Khloe Kardashion figured out by now that she should NEVER pose with her petite sister Kourtney? Separately, the two sisters look just fine, but TOGETHER, Khloe looks like a hulkish female wrestler or amazon, and her tiny sister looks like a normal size female. Khloe’s shoulders seem a mile wider and rather mannish. We’re not crazy about Khloe’s choice of attire for a cancer fundraiser in New York either. Didn’t Kim wear that dress awhile back?

KESHA: WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT?

Kesha arrived at LAX looking less like a rock star and more like somebody’s Aunt Vera. Her cat pajamas are amusing but far from flattering. And they cost a pretty penny – $2000 by Stella McCartney! The buxom singer has been accused of having copious amounts of plastic surgery. Her looks have been analyzed on cosmetic surgery sites and she’s accused of having not only a nose job and breast implants, but also butt implants! She’s also had her lips temporarily enlarged on several occasions. She’s only 29 – who knows what lies in her future!

WE PREFER LADY GAGA IN THE MEAT DRESS

Lady Gaga took a serious fashion turn last night at the American Music Awards and we miss her twisted sense of humor. In every photo from the event Gaga is posing like a runway model, trout pout and all. Her gigantic platform shoes, hidden under her long pants, even gave her the height of a model. Was she living a dream? Unfortunately, her personality and sense of fun seems to have evaporated. She DID look glamorous, but we love the old outrageous Gaga.

CIARA WAS THE MOST COMFORTABLE WOMAN AT THE AMA’S

You don’t even have to be pregnant like she is, to appreciate Ciara’s AMA dress. How great it must be to actually be comfortable AND look good at a red carpet event! It was a cool night and Ciara, 31, was probably the only female not shivering. She’s wearing a velvet turtleneck with a satin hi-lo skirt and the skirt lining is puffy like a duvet. When she sat down she could just wrap herself up! Besides looking good, Ciara is a successful singer, songwriter, dancer, and model. She married footballer Russell Wilson last summer and they’re expecting their first child.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO HAVE TRAVIS BARKER FOR YOUR FATHER?

It appears the Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker is a surprisingly involved dad and he loves taking his kids to music and award shows. And they don’t disappoint on the red carpet. Travis’s little girl Alabama, 10, is already a princess in a fluffy gown at the American Music Awards. His boy Landon, 12, is looking punk and probably dying for a tattoo. We are particularly impressed that Travis never forgets his step-daughter Atiana de la Hoya, 15. She is Travis’s exwife Shanna Moakler’s daughter with boxer Oscar de la Hoya. Both girls are pretty like their beauty queen mom and Landon is a chip off the old block.

HIDDEN FIGURES: IT’S MORE THAN ROCKET SCIENCE

The holidays always bring out the best of the movies and this season is a bonanza. Our favorite holiday movie so far is Hidden Figures. It’s the true story of three brilliant black female friends and their amazing – and unheralded – contributions to the NASA Space Race. Taraji P Henson plays a mathematics genius turned physicist and space scientist whose calculations helped John Glenn orbit the earth and return safely. Octavia Spencer plays a forward-thinking computer programmer who worked on the IBM original, and Janelle Monae’s character fought prejudice to earn a degree in engineering. Most of all, this film shows what life was like in the business/government world in Virginia in the 60’s. Women were treated badly and black women faced unimaginable situations, the least of which was bathrooms labeled White Only. White male superiority prevailed and shameful treatment of everyone else was tolerated. Despite the subject, this film is funny and sweet and romantic – entertaining AND important.

AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON IS A FATAL ATTRACTION

Leave it to a Brit to knock it out of the park playing a Texas psychopath. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is one of the main reasons to see Tom “the woman hater” Ford’s engrossing movie Nocturnal Animals. Aaron’s portrayal of the sexy violent hustler in a pickup truck is stupefying. We imagine he’s a dreamboat for many gay men because his character is not only ignorant but slyly threatening and impossibly attractive. Watch out, Tom Hardy – you’ve got competition. It doesn’t hurt that Aaron is married to 23 years older director Sam Taylor-Johnson and they have two little girls that he helped deliver.

GRETA GERWIG: THIS IS WHAT BAD MAKEUP CAN DO TO A PRETTY GIRL

Indie actress Greta Gerwig (Maggie’s Plan) is an cute and natural looking woman who seems younger than her 33 years. When she turns up at red carpet events she usually looks off-beat and interesting, but not particularly glamorous. Maybe a crazed makeup artist got his hands on her face, or she decided to experiment with new eye shadow. Bad idea. She looks YEARS older and her messy hair and unflattering droopy dress don’t help her at all. Greta deserves better.

THE SHORTEST MARRIED COUPLE IN THE WORLD

It’s Guinness World Record Day in London and to celebrate the event the newly crowned “shortest married couple in the world” posed for photos. Newlywed Brazilians Katyucia Hoshino Barros and hubby Paulo da Silva Barros were measured by officials and they are both slightly shorter than three feet tall. The couple met online ten years ago and the friendship gradually turned romantic.
