Every time we see Rolling Stone Keith Richards, 72, and his wife of 33 years, model Patti Hansen, 60, we are astonished. Imagine a rock star-model marriage lasting so long! And Keith was one of the wildest rockers of all time. The couple has two model daughters and still seem very happy. They turned up at the Toronto Film Festival for the premier of a movie about the Rolling Stones in Latin America.

All this week people have been lamenting the loss of Alexis Arquette, reminiscing about what an exceptional person he was, and it rubbed us the wrong way. He was not particularly nice – especially when he was dressed as a female. Lipstick was his license to be rude and loud and overbearing. Before he died he was thinking about writing a book “outing” everyone gay who was still closeted in Hollywood. At least celebrities he ASSUMED were gay! Early in his cross-dressing days, he was fervently selling stories about his famous family to the tabloids – and he didn’t hold back. No matter how he behaved, his family members were still supportive, and he was very lucky to have them.

Vin Diesel made his cute little girl Hania, 7, really happy this week – he took her to a Beyonce concert. She got all dressed up for the event! Actually Vin’s whole family was there – his Mexican model girlfriend of 9 years, Paloma Jimenez, and their two other kids. Their youngest is named Pauline, after Vin’s Fast & Furious late costar Paul Walker. After the show he hustled them all into his van. Only recently did action star Vin become less secretive about his life and more public with his family.

Shoppers on Rodeo Drive were startled when this inflatable tableau created by PETA suddenly appeared. It’s a plastic bubble containing two real people who are covered in blood and punching fake sheep. The animal activists have decided that the use of wool is cruel to sheep. They claim that wool shearers are rough and the process is horribly painful and unregulated. If that’s true, we hope they achieve some regulation, but this is a horrific scene for Beverly Hills.

Jerry Seinfeld’s wife Jessica took their excited 15 year old daughter Sascha to the Narciso Rodriguez show during Fashion Week. (Sascha has two brothers – Julian, 13, and Shepherd, 11.) It was the teen’s first designer show. Back when Jessica started seeing Jerry we were uncertain about her – she dumped her husband of four months for Jerry. But we’ve come to believe she did the right thing – and Jerry is a very lucky guy. She’s educated and took charge and completely runs his life – making everything blissfully easy for him, he says. Jessica’s active in charity work and has her own career writing healthy cookbooks. No doubt Jerry eats very well at home. Who could ask for more from a wife? Or a husband, for that matter?

Unlike Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga doesn’t need two men to hold her up when she walks in high heels. Musically, her career is in a good place and acting-wise, BIG doors are opening since Gaga appeared on American Horror Story. Not only has Bradley Cooper cast her in A Star is Born, but Barbra Streisand has re-doubled her obsessive efforts to film the musical “Gypsy” with her and Gaga starring as mother and daughter. Streisand is hounding her friends to invest in her pet film (Barry Levinson is set to direct) since financing fell through last month.

She may have decided to allow Rocco to live where he wants (with his father Guy Ritchie in the UK) but Madonna will keep an eye on him in her own way. Before the school year commenced Madonna had consultations with Rocco’s new teachers. It looks like she turned on the charm and plans to keep in close touch with the school staff from a distance. (Above, she appears to be buttering up a teacher at the new school – you can bet SOMEBODY will be reporting back to her!) She certainly DRESSED for the occasion – when is the last time we saw Madonna in a bow neck blouse and long skirt?

What a treat! We ran into the adorable Brenda Vaccaro at a party and it brought back tons of memories. We’ve been writing about the Midnight Cowboy actress, whom you’ve seen in dozens of movies and even more TV shows, for DECADES! Since, in fact, she and Michael Douglas were a couple! She’s been married to her current husband, Guy Hector since the 80’s and no one thought it would last! Actually they are a good match and seem to have the same sense of humor. Brenda is just now packing up for a move to New York where she’s filming a Netflix psychological thriller series, Gypsy, with Naomi Watts and Billy Crudup. Naomi plays a psychotherapist who can’t resist getting involved in her patients’ lives. Brenda is a troubled patient. Watch for it early next year…
Okay, it was the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, not the televised Emmys, but that still doesn’t explain the shotgun wedding dress. It’s white lace and unmistakably Victorian. Julianne Hough IS engaged to Canadian hockey player Brooks Laich, so maybe she’s giving the gown a trial run. Not only does it look like a wedding dress, but it looks like a COUNTRY WESTERN Tammy Wynette wedding dress. Either way, it’s not Julianne’s best look. Her special “Grease” did win four awards. This season she’s graduated to judge on Dancing with the Stars.

Colombian bombshell Sofia Vergara is ready for the September 21 premier of Modern Family in more ways than one. The highest paid actress on TV had a string of visits to the same Beverly Hills cosmetic dermatologist at Epione that the Kardashians frequent. Whatever “refreshing” procedures she might have had – Sofia looks as beautiful and natural as ever. Facelifts have fallen out of favor in Hollywood- replaced by less invasive skin treatments.
