50 CENT’S PREPPY LOOK: HATE IT OR LOVE IT?

It seems like every time we see 50 Cent lately he’s wearing clothes that are way too small for him. We suspect he’s bulking up in the gym and hasn’t bothered to size up his wardrobe. He appeared on Extra today, and looks quite preppy in khakis and a navy blazer – a touch of Brooks Brothers. Cute, but small. Recently he confessed that he saw his celebrity crush Phylicia Rashad walking down the street and he slammed on the brakes and pulled over. Surprised Phylicia posed for a photo that he proudly posted on Instagram.

JENNIFER ANISTON IS A VICTIM OF HER OWN POPULARITY

Jennifer Aniston gets an A+ for her essay on Huffington Post protesting the media’s torment of her and other female celebrities. Tabloids DO deserve a good scolding for torturing her ever since Friends made her a star. Having written for tabloids, we witnessed first hand just how NICE she’s always been to her fans and even the paparazzi. Unfortunately AND fortunately for her, Jennifer happens to be one of the most popular stars of all time and most in demand for magazine covers. (She SELLS!) So when there’s a shortage of news, reporters make up silly non-litigious stories about her personal life (“Jen wants Brad back”, “Jen wants a baby.”) They hurt her but don’t damage her career. We agree with her about the fake pregnancy stories – they’re nasty and mean-spirited, but they exist because Jennifer is just too damn popular. Jennifer’s essay won’t change the media, but hopefully it will educate readers and fans.

TOMMY LEE: ARE THE PYROTECHNICS REALLY OVER?

If you wondered what Tommy Lee’s been up to since Motley Crue played its last gig ever on New Year’s Eve, the answer is not much. After their two year farewell tour ended ,Tommy, 53, said he wanted to take a year off and just relax. 34 years of rock n’ roll decadence has taken its toll, and life in the suburbs is not so bad. Now he’ll have more time to spend with his two sons with Pamela Anderson.Tommy was photographed buying liquor at a convenience store near his home in Calabasas.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN: THE PITY PARTY IS OVER!

Khloe Kardashian works her Perfect Curves in White Jersey Dress

We can’t believe ANYONE would criticize Khloe Kardashian for abandoning her addicted and estranged husband Lamar Odom after his recent drunk and vomiting debacle on an airplane. For once, we’re on HER side. Odom has had more chances than he deserves. After his near-fatal overdose in a brothel, Khloe stayed married to him simply so he could use HER medical insurance to slowly recover. NOT because she hoped to reconcile. She even leased him a house after he left the hospital. As soon as he started drinking/using again, she cut him off and reinstated the divorce. She did all the right things and he did all the WRONG things. It’s time for this pathetic-excuse-for-a-man to help himself.

WHAT WAS MARIAH CAREY THINKING?

Looks like Mariah Carey underestimated the intelligence of her fans when she posted this photo of herself arriving in London. Everyone did have a big laugh because Mariah hasn’t looked this slim in quite awhile. She was immediately accused once again of photoshopping, but is it possible that this is just an old photo? Mariah reasons that as long as photoshopping exists, there’s no reason to starve oneself on a diet…

“THE NIGHT OF” ON HBO WILL BLOW YOU AWAY

Last night we innocently turned to HBO to glance at a new series “The Night Of” – with no particular expectations. We knew Richard Price was one of the writers and he wrote our favorite movie “The Wanderers.” INSTANTLY we were sucked into the story about a young college age guy from Queens – the son of Pakistani immigrants – eager to go to a party in Manhattan. He has one of those magical nights in the city – yes, drugs and a beautiful girl were involved- and he lands in jail, charged with an unspeakable crime. He looks like a deer in the headlights. The viewer cannot help but identify with this innocent character and the nightmare around him. (Isn’t it everybody’s nightmare that they are accused of a crime and sent to prison for something they didn’t do?) The fact that there are no big stars to interrupt makes the story seem even more real. We can’t remember the last time we couldn’t WAIT for episode 2 of anything. Don’t miss this!

JOHNNY DEPP IS LIVIN’ LA VIDA LOCA

What better way to escape a bitter divorce than go on the road with musician buddies and enjoy all the rock star perks? Johnny Depp appears to be having a great time playing with The Hollywood Vampires and the band is drawing big crowds. They play a lot of music celebrating rockstars who are now dead – mostly from excess. That’s where the band’s name comes from. It has always been Johnny’s dream to be a musician – not an actor. It’s hard to tell if he’s a good guitar player, but he’s the one all the girls’ phones are focused on. (Above the Hollywood Vampires rocked out on the Coney Island boardwalk.)

BRANDI GLANVILLE: COUGARS ON THE PROWL

Most clubs would swing their doors wide open if they saw these two hot babes approaching, but apparently The Nice Guy in Hollywood has it’s fill of pretty women. Reality star/loose cannon Brandy Glanville, 43, and her friend dressed to kill in their shortest skirts and thought they could talk their way into the exclusive club – after all, Brandi IS a reality star. Their plans were foiled when the doorman pointed out that their names weren’t on the list. Brandi tried that old trick of “I’m meeting my friend here – let me see if HIS name is on the list,” but the door guy’s heard THAT one before. No reservation – no entry. We DID feel a pang of pity for Brandi – everybody remembers what it feels like to not be “on the list” but Brandi had the awkward shun documented by numerous photographers.

DEMI LOVATO: GET A NEW STYLIST!

Whoever designed the costumes for Demi Lovato to wear on tour with Nick Jonas seems to be sabotaging her career. She’s a pretty girl but her skimpy high cut leotards and thigh boots couldn’t be less flattering. Is it Tthe Kardashian Effect that pushes women to reveal more and more flesh? Demi doesn’t need to sex it up to THAT extent – she can SING.

THE NEW AND IMPROVED COURTNEY LOVE

Courtney Love and boyfriend Nicholas Jarecki are going strong at 'Equals' premiere

We WONDERED why the outspoken Courtney Love, 51, has seemed more subdued and together lately. It so happens she’s been enjoying the company of a successful guy fifteen years younger than she is. Courtney and Nicholas Jarecki met last fall and have been an item ever since. A film director, Nick comes from a wealthy showbiz family – he wrote and directed the Richard Gere movie “Arbitrage.” Courtney and Nick have even been seen JOGGING together – he must be a good influence.
