THAT’S KATY PERRY IN HER HILLARY CLINTON HALLOWEEN COSTUME!

When Katy Perry gets behind a candidate, she goes all the way. Katy and a male companion (so far unidentified) attended Kate Hudson’s Halloween party dressed as the Clintons! Talk about attention to detail! These costumes obviously took HOURS of makeup and facial appendages. Katy got all the accessories right. It looks like several friends tagged along as Secret Service people. We can’t imagine her NOT winning “Best Costume” for this effort.

JEAN-CLAUDE VAN DAMME CAN CARRY A PURSE IF HE WANTS TO

Jean-Claude Van Damme and his daughter Bianca Bree have a late lunch

Martial artist/actor Jean Claude Van Damme, 56, was a wild man in the 90’s. Not only was he a womanizer, but he had a massive drug habit and battled bi-polar disorder. We heard loads of drug stories from a Brentwood pharmacy he frequented in all kinds of moods. Nowadays he’s a DAD. Jean Claude took his daughter Bianca, 26, to lunch at Mauro’s Café. She’s his daughter with bodybuilder Gladys Portugues, whom Van Damme married twice. He looks really harmless today in bifocals, carrying a purse….

IMAN, IS THIS A FUTURISTIC BURKA?

This pink and black concoction (It’s NOT a Halloween costume) that Iman wore to the Save the Children gala at The Plaza in New York poses many questions. What the heck is going on underneath this billowy dress and cape? It looks inflatable! Is Iman HIDING something? Why would a former model wear such a shapeless balloon-like garment? Did she make it herself? Where are HER ARMS?

JAMES PACKER AND MARIAH CAREY’S INEVITABLE SPLIT: IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME!

Is ANYBODY surprised that Australian billionaire James Packer changed his mind about marrying Mariah Carey? Last year when they met, the coupling seemed like a good idea. Both have high school educations and enjoy attention. He’s wealthy and she likes to spend money. Packer was enchanted with Mariah’s glamorous lifestyle and friends, and they both loved yachting and vacationing on tropical islands. But like Packer’s infatuation with Scientology (thanks to Tom Cruise) the novelty wore off. Packer observed how high maintenance and self-indulgent Mariah is, and we think he just got tired of waiting for her to “get ready” with the help of her beauty staff, night after night before they went out. He probably pictured himself holding her up in her high heels for years to come, and came to his senses!

WHAT KIND OF FATHER WAS MICHAEL JACKSON?

lgbh-1002

Tommy Hilfiger tells a story in his new book “American Dreamer,” that makes us think Michael Jackson’s kids are better off growing up WITHOUT their father. Tommy says that back in the 90’s, Michael wanted to do a clothing line and summoned him to Neverland for a meeting. When Tommy arrived, the butler led him to Michael, who was wearing sunglasses, heavily made up, and sitting on an enormous gold and burgundy throne. Michael said his millions of fans were waiting for a Michael Jackson clothing line and he wanted to partner with Hilfiger. Meanwhile Michael’s two young kids Prince and Paris appeared dressed “like Von Trapp children from The Sound of Music.” Tommy says they wore velvet knickers, patent leather shoes, dirndl jumper, and they both had bleached blonde hair with dark roots and full make-up! (Blanket was still a baby in the nanny’s arms.) Tommy passed on the deal…

GWYNETH PALTROW KNOCKS IT OUT OF THE PARK- FASHION-WISE

Red carpet events are so often dominated by bombshell babes competing for attention that it’s really refreshing to see a natural and just plain pretty look. Gwyneth Paltrow, 44, turned up at the Elle magazine 30th anniversary party in Madrid dressed like THIS and we are IMPRESSED, indeed. She looks like a modern woman AND a medieval princess. Light makeup, simple sleek hair, and a beautifully detailed dress. She doesn’t look like she’s trying too hard. The “consciously uncoupled” actress may be tormented for her somewhat unrealistic lifestyle advice, but Gwyneth has never looked better. It makes you forget all about that Mortdecai movie with Johnny Depp that was such a huge flop last year…

YOU’RE NOT FOOLING US, ROBIN THICKE!

It’s clear that Robin Thicke, 39, knows all the tricks to make a person look thinner than they are. The Blurred Lines singer has packed on a few pounds, so Robin grew a goatee to define his jawline. (It doesn’t really work but makes guys feel better.) Then he put on a heavy long overcoat (in LA!) plus a very big scarf. He dressed in black from head to toe – using the blue scarf for distraction. He also used his bikini model girlfriend April, 21, as a distraction, but paparazzi got a shot of him anyway as the couple left Catch LA restaurant..

BOBBY VEE: THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Love this photo of the late Bobby Vee and The Crickets – presumably taken after the death of Buddy Holly, whom Bobby idolized. Years ago we owned a vintage Scopitone (a video juke box) and we probably played Bobby’s song The Night Has a Thousand Eyes over a thousand times. The amateur video features girls in bikinis twisting frantically at a beach party. His song Come Back When You Grow Up Girl always makes us think of back when we were in 8th or 9th grade walking home from school. High school boys old enough to drive would pull over and toss a coin out the window saying “Here’s a dime – call me in two years!”
Here’s the Scopitone video:

JESSICA SIMPSON WANTS TO BE NOTICED AND SHE GETS HER WISH

Jessica Simpson wears an impressive pair of flares as she makes a shopping trip to Barney's in New York

When is the last time you saw Jessica Simpson dressed like this in the daytime? NEVER!! She’s decked out for a visit to Barneys New York. Now that she’s a successful designer/businesswoman, Jessica wants to look like one. The only drawback to this attention-getting outfit is that it will be a challenge for her to be subtle while she examines Barneys fashions for inspiration for her collection of lower priced clothing. Those flare-bottom pants will not soon be forgotten. Nor will the patchwork fake fur chubby.

CATE BLANCHETT: LEADER OF THE OCEANS 8 RAT PACK?

We never paid much attention to George Clooney’s Oceans Eleven series of movies – just the same old stuff – self-indulgent and unoriginal. Now the same people are filming Oceans 8 with an all-female cast and we’re puzzled. It’s kinda sad that women have to remake roles written for men because there are so few original parts for women. Of course it’s better than NOTHING – but don’t blame the women if the worn-out casino heist concept seems tired. The cast is stellar- Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, and Asian American rapper Awkwafina (Nora Lum.) That’s a powerful and varied group. Hopefully, the script was written by women. Cate Blanchett started filming scenes in New York and she looks formidable in her green velvet suit. The movie isn’t coming out until 2018, however.
