IS RICHARD SIMMONS LIVING AS A FEMALE?

The National Enquirer dropped a BOMBSHELL today and it was almost like old times! The tabloid says Richard Simmons, 68, has been out of sight because he’s been having hormone treatments and secret surgeries to turn himself into a WOMAN! That explains a LOT! They claim he is now living as a female and calling himself Fiona. The Enquirer says lately he’s been going in and out of his house totally unrecognized. (She might be the woman next to you in the supermarket!) Apparently they have juicy photos to illustrate the story. And this scoop could easily be TRUE – remember the Enquirer wrote about Bruce Jenner having a sex change for YEARS before it happened! And the fact that the Enquirer’s lawyers okayed this headline story is another indication that it’s most likely accurate. If Richard wants to live as a woman – you go, girl! Live and let live! Can a reality show be far behind?

PARIS JACKSON: EIGHTEEN AND ANXIOUS

Paris Jackson is asserting her independence now that she’s turned eighteen, but continues to worry her family members. She’s set to inherit millions from her father’s estate but shows no interest in continuing her education. Her older brother Prince is an A student now in college. BOYS BOYS BOYS are what she’s interested in these days and she’s picking up lots of habits from her punk musician boyfriend, Michael Snoddy, 26. Tattoos, piercings, combat boots and Mohawk haircut for starters, along with a “who cares?” attitude. She posted happy photos of herself and her man out of town for the weekend.

EDWARD NORTON DODGED A BULLET

Back in the 90’s, Edward Norton, now 46, burst on the Hollywood scene with multiple Oscar nominations. He was a Yale grad and came from a wealthy East coast family – quite a catch. He costarred in The People vs. Larry Flynt with Courtney Love and a romance developed. In fact, they became ENGAGED! But Norton HATED being recognized as a celebrity and all the press attention they got as a couple. (He LOVES to take the subway.) Courtney tried to tone down her wild ways but Norton’s family didn’t take to her and they eventually split up. Courtney was devastated. Later Ed married Canadian film producer Shauna Robertson (above) and they have a 3 year old son Atlas and a new baby on the way. They both take the subway.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KANYE WEST AND MUHAMMED ALI

It slowly dawned on us that Kanye West is desperately hoping to be compared to Muhammed Ali. Ali WAS the most recognizable person in the world during his prime years as a renowned athlete and he was thrilled by that fact. Kanye is doing everything he can to become THAT famous himself. Kanye imitates Ali with his egotistical rants about how he is an artistic GENIUS. Ali did declare himself “pretty” and brag about his fighting ability but he did it with a sly sense of humor and fun. His tirades were aimed at improving race relations, so needed at the time. He was usually fun and likeable, but serious when it was appropriate. Kanye is all about HIMSELF – his scowling rants grab attention, but not likeability. Ali was a playful generous guy who lived by his religion. You couldn’t NOT like Muhammed Ali, but Kanye West is NOT easy to like…

KESHA WORE GRANDMA’S TABLECLOTH TO THE AIRPORT

Sorry Kesha, you’re not getting off easy with this one. We can’t IMAGINE what possessed the pop singer to dress like this to catch a flight at LAX. Her face looks healthy and we like the braids – but those SHEER WHITE EMBROIDERED OVERALLS resemble grandma’s tablecloth. Very unflattering. And the fluffy transparent blouse topped off with a big white droopy hat is just too much! Why would anyone wear this to fly on a plane? This getup makes Kesha look around 30 years older – and more like a southern hospitality chef than a singer.

NICK CANNON IS TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING

You can probably surmise from his attire what Nick Cannon has on his mind- he’s set aside his flashy suits and decked himself out in hip hop apparel, gold chain, camouflage turban (!) and all. Despite his regular job on American’s Got Talent, Nick want to be a rapper again! So naturally he has to LOOK like one. Apparently, being on TV constantly is NOT ENOUGH for Nick and he wants a hit record too.

MUHAMMAD ALI : “I DID WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RIGHT”

Love this photo of Muhammad Ali in the 60’s dressed up like a dandy. He was as “pretty” as he claimed to be and surprisingly funny. Of course he was passionate and outspoken about things that mattered – like civil rights. It’s sad that he became ill with Parkinson’s disease so young, but he never complained. He earned the title of icon in more ways than one.

GWEN STEFANI: “I AIN’T NO COUNTRY GIRL!”

Well, THAT’S a relief! Gwen Stefani is back to her old self after that scary appearance at the Billboard Awards. You may recall, she sang a duet with Blake Shelton and she actually LOOKED like she was turning into a country western singer! Too much beige – no red lips or glam eye makeup, uninspired flat hair, and a glitzy sequin gown! Fans were distraught, fearing this was her new look. Fortunately she has reverted back to her cool rock n’roll self (above performing at the Samsung Summer Concert Series in NY) and hopefully she will STAY this way!

MARK SALLING: AND SO IT BEGINS….

He still has swagger and confidence, but former Glee star Mark Salling, 33, just walked out of the bank with a $100,000 check that will probably keep him out of jail for awhile on bail. He was indicted for the unimaginable offense of receiving and possessing child pornography online and is expected to appear in court Friday. After he left the bank, Salling went straight to his lawyer’s office, where he will probably be writing even BIGGER checks. If he’s found guilty he could get a minimum of 5 years and maximum of 20. Whatever happens, his promising career is over and he’ll be broke. It’s almost too sick to think about…

AMERICA COULD USE A FEW MORE RYAN GOSLINGS

It’s about time! It took Ryan Gosling declaring the superiority of women to start the discussion going. His honesty – and modesty for a man – is refreshing and very surprising. Ryan was raised in a household of women and he and his girlfriend Eva Mendes have two daughters. He noted that his daughters’ developmental stages far exceeded boys. “I think women are better than men. They are stronger. More evolved. I grew up with women and I’ve always been aware of it.” To our delight, he added “Women are better than men – they make ME better.” And Ryan wants a woman in the White House – “I think America needs a woman’s touch!”
