WHY JADEN SMITH GETS OUR VOTE FOR BEST DRESSED AT VMA’S

Yep, we think Jaden Smith left just about everyone, especially Kanye West who considers himself a “fashion genius,” IN THE DUST last night at the awards. Let us remind you that the Video Awards are all about new music, new fashion, and cool up-and coming young entertainers. Yet many female guests were trussed up in low cut hyper-sexualized gowns with trains, more appropriate for the Adult Film Awards or a Las Vegas review. They looked more like porn stars than rock stars. Jaden Smith is only 18 and already shows amazing fashion presence. He’s fearless and experimental – doesn’t hesitate to try new things like man skirts. His clothes are playful, young and fun. It’s not often a GUY is BEST DRESSED at any event!

KANYE WEST IS A BORE

When the VMA’s agreed to give Kanye West FOUR MINUTES of airtime during the live show to do WHATEVER HE WANTED TO DO, they were undoubtedly hoping for something unexpected and outrageous. Dressed in a pajama-like outfit, humorless Kanye slowly droned on and on and on… about nothing in particular. He rambled about a few headlines, a few friends in the audience. He obviously thinks the audience is FASCINATED by his every move so he doesn’t have to make an effort. When the bored crowd started chanting for “the video,” he acquiesced and introduced his video featuring an extraordinary female dancer and unmemorable music. What he lacks in innovation, Kanye more than makes up for with misplaced confidence.

SECOND GENERATION: FRENCH ACTOR ALAIN DELON’S LOOKALIKE SON

It’s never a bad thing when a gorgeous person reproduces an equally gorgeous offspring. Alain Delon, 80, was the king of cool European movies in the 60’s and 70’s – he had style and presence like no other French star, except perhaps Brigitte Bardot. Americans don’t realize how incredibly popular he was around the world. We saw him once sitting in a café on Sunset Strip and were mesmerized. Enough about him – his son (with a Dutch model, of course) is Alain-Fabien Delon, 22, and he got his father’s good looks. Alain-Fabian is a successful model (above, he’s the face of Theory’s fall 2016 collection) And he’s starting to act – those are hard shoes to fill…

MAYBE NICOLETTE SHERIDAN WASN’T CUT OUT TO BE A HOUSEWIFE

While former Desperate Housewives star Nicolette Sheridan, 52, has had a number of engagements, (once to Michael Bolton) she’s only been married twice – and both lasted less than a year! She divorced Harry Hamlin in 1992. Last December she secretly married a younger guy, Aaron Pypher, who calls himself an actor, but she filed for divorce in July. She looks happily single at the premier of the gender discrimination documentary “Equal Means Equal” above. Nicolette keeps busy starring in Lifetime movies these days and she always has her dogs…..

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IS NOW A REDHEAD

And we’re betting he doesn’t even know it! Arnold just walked out of his hairdresser’s salon with a fresh dye job and it’s FAR from natural looking! Arnold made the cardinal error that nearly all men who color their hair make: he doesn’t look at his hair color outdoors in bright sunlight. We’re pretty sure Arnold was hoping for a more natural hue than orange, but will anyone have the courage to point out this flaw to the Terminator?

BILLY IDOL STILL HAS THAT WHIPLASH SMILE

Billy Idol left the black leather at home because he’s at LAX on his way to Las Vegas where he’s performing in residence at the House of Blues. How he survived the 80’s, we’ll never know. He must have overdosed (mostly in parking lots) half a dozen times and had AWFUL motorcycle accidents, (biking high is never a good idea) Once he nearly lost a leg. Billy wrote his autobiography a few years ago called “Dancing with Myself” and fans of that indulgent era might be advised to pick it up – it’s loaded with juicy stories.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR RAY LIOTTA

Ray Liotta, 61, must be feeling quite confident and secure since his series with Jennifer Lopez, Shades of Blue, turned out to be a surprise HIT. (He has high praise for Jennifer on Twitter.) Season 2 is currently filming and on his day off he browsed on Madison Avenue, wearing a Shades of Blue baseball cap. For some reason he decided to upgrade his headwear and ducked into the posh Loro Piana store. $400 later he walked out wearing a luxurious baseball cap made of waterproof, wind resistant cashmere. He tossed his old cap in the trash but we bet a store clerk snatched it out of the bin after he left the store.

RYAN LOCHTE HOPES TO DANCE HIS WAY BACK INTO OUR GOOD GRACES

The clear winner in the Ryan Lochte scandal is Dancing with the Stars. The ageing series has been losing viewers and attracting a lesser grade of “stars.” Ryan is sure to attract lots of viewers at least in the beginning. But appearing on the show IS a risk for the disgraced Olympian. If he’s a clumsy dancer and gets voted off early, it might add to the list of reasons not to like him. Even if he’s a skillful dancer, will viewers VOTE for him? Can he redeem himself? This makes for an interesting show…

IS DIANA ROSS HANDICAPPED?

Apparently Diana Ross does much of her own food shopping because she’s frequently spotted at supermarkets. But this week she parked in a handicapped space outside Bristol Farms – with no placard in sight. She seemed to have no trouble loading her bags into the car so hopefully she’s not suffering from any afflictions. Keep in mind she often rides in a wheelchair at the airport and hops out and walks on her own once she reaches the terminal. Diana has sent much of this summer on a concert tour across the country.

LOOK WHO’S BEHIND THE WHEEL: LADY GAGA!

Lady Gaga is too cool for school driving a vintage Ford Bronco

Now that she’s single, Lady Gaga seems to have more time on her hands, but she’s figured out what to do with it. She recently got her first driver’s license and she’s channeled her fashion obsession into cars! Instead of walking around in several outrageous outfits a day, she’s DRIVING different unusual cars. Sometimes several on ONE day! She prefers them flashy and/or vintage – and like her clothing, anything goes! We predict she will become as well-known for her cars as she is for her clothing. But can she top that MEAT DRESS with a vehicle?
