PRESIDENT OBAMA CAUSED MADONNA TO DROP HER PRETENTIONS – FOR A MINUTE

It’s not often that Madonna has an adrenaline rush that renders her speechless but meeting President Obama when they were both backstage at the Tonight Show did just that. And what a relief it was to observe Madonna drop all her pretenses of grandeur and giggle like a schoolgirl! She proudly posted an Instagram photo of them together like a delirious teenage fan. But her caption tells it all. She wrote: “A meeting of the Leo’s – A Cosmic Convergence.” She BRAGGED about sharing the same ASTROLOGICAL sign as the Prez, like a VALLEY GIRL!! (Do educated people follow astrology?) And she misspelled “Leo’s” – there is no apostrophe. Madonna loves to impress with infrequently used vocabulary words like “reductive” so she threw in the hardly appropriate “Cosmic Convergence.” But it WAS fun to see Madonna reduced to a groupie girl fan.

KATIE HOLMES IS RELIVING JACKIE KENNEDY’S LIFE

This is Katie Holmes’second time playing Jacqueline Kennedy, but there IS a difference. Her current film, The Kennedys: After Camelot is all about Jackie O when she was with Aristotle Onassis. Katie must have mixed feelings about her ex-husband Tom Cruise these days. On one hand she’s glad that he’s not around, BUT Tom has been neglecting their little girl Suri. Tom sold his California home where he used to love entertaining Suri when he had custody time with her. It seems he’s always working and has no time for Suri, but he sees his other kids (with Nicole Kidman.) Scientology doesn’t want members to stay in touch with relatives who have left the church, but celebrity Tom wouldn’t have such restrictions. So why doesn’t he spend time with Suri? Is he just a bad dad? (Above, Katie is filming in Toronto)

MADONNA COULDN’T CARE LESS THAT HER BROTHER CHRISTOPHER GOT MARRIED LAST WEEKEND

So much happened this last weekend that few people seemed to notice that Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone, 55, got married – and that includes his sister. Of course Madonna and Christopher have had a tumultuous relationship. At one time the artistic Christopher directed Madonna’s music videos, helped design her stage shows, and decorated her homes. They were very close until she “fired” him and accused him of slacking off and substance abuse. (At that time he was also described as being “obnoxious.”) In 2008 Christopher wrote a tell-all book titled “Life With My Sister Madonna” describing Madonna’s MANY idiosyncrasies and to no one’s surprise, she didn’t speak to him for four years. Christopher says he and Madonna are in touch by email, but she was not involved in his marriage to British hairdresser Ray Thacker in Beverly Hills Saturday. As far as we know, she didn’t send a gift either.

LIFE GOES ON FOR DENISE RICHARDS AND HER GIRLS

Denise Richards, 45, took her gaggle of little girls out for ice dream in Malibu. How awkward it must be for her two daughters with Charlie Sheen. Charlie is always badmouthing Denise, calling her a gold digger. But that doesn’t stop Denise from taking him to court regularly for more child support – she’s been getting $55,000 per month. Now that Charlie’s living with HIV he wants to cut back on the amount. We can’t help but feel sorry for the girls who are certainly embarrassed by their father’s appalling behavior and eventually will question their mother’s common sense.

KELLY OSBOURNE TIPS HER HAT TO BOY GEORGE

We’re not sure what Kelly Osbourne, 31, does for a living right now but she’s certainly a poster child for the reality series world. After coming of age on her family’s reality series The Osbournes, which aired from 2001 to 2005, she’s tried many related careers. She acted a little and even recorded a few songs. After three times in rehab she found work on all kinds of reality shows in the US, the UK, and Australia – she’s most famous here for Fashion Police and Dancing with the Stars. She’s had a lot of boyfriends but seems to love her dogs more. Her style is never boring and she looked like she was inspired by Boy George when she arrived at LAX this week.

ANGELS NEED RETAIL THERAPY TOO

Here’s what you missed if you weren’t shopping on Melrose Avenue today: Victoria’s Secret models on the loose. A small pack of Angels took the neighborhood by storm and had heads turning as they hit one store after another. We love that they were all wearing sneakers – appropriate footwear for the sport of shopping. Giggling and chatting all the way, the girls and their shopping bags all piled into one car and took off.

KATE HUDSON HAS A SHORT BUT GOOD LOOKING DATE FOR “HAMILTON”

Kate Hudson takes Ryder to see Hamilton

And Kate Hudson’s date last night was her cute 12 year old son Ryder Robinson. She took Ryder to see the Broadway smash “Hamilton.” Ryder’s father is Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson who was married to Kate for 7 years. Ryder spends time with his dad and will probably appreciate the musical more than most kids his age. We used to tease Kate because she pushed Ryder around in a stroller until he was way too big.

AXL HAS AN AXE TO GRIND WITH GOOGLE – SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

Axl Rose greets his fans leaving his London Hotel

Back in the 80’s and early 90’s Guns N Roses musician Axl Rose was a big deal, but an obnoxious guy. He was notoriously late for concerts, infuriating bandmates and causing audience riots and damage. The self indulgent singer had a nasty disposition and mistreated his model girlfriends, but was idolized by groupies and fans. A lot has changed since his heyday – now he’s angry about unflattering chubby photos of him circulating on the internet with sarcastic captions. He made a legal request to Google to remove the images. Sensitive, huh? He’s lost a few pounds since then, but he’s definitely not the sex symbol he once was.

THERE’S NO SHORTAGE OF ESCORTS FOR PAMELA ANDERSON

When she’s between boyfriends, Pamela Anderson has some cute dudes she can recruit as escorts right at home. She turned up at a PETA event with her son Brandon, 20, who apparently shares her love of animals. Brandon is working as a model and he’s studying acting so he’s motivated to put down his surfboard and socialize. Pam says her two sons with Tommy Lee (Dylan is 18) are “gentlemen- and good to their girlfriends.”
