‘MY RAMONES” REVEALS THE BAND BEFORE THEY HIT IT BIG

The original manager of The Ramones, Danny Fields, has a new book, ”My Ramones” featuring hundreds of unseen photos of the beloved punk band from 1972 to 1974. Those were the very early years, before the band achieved fame and success. Fields’ book has photos of the Ramones luxuriating at the Sunset Marquis hotel on an early visit to LA – they felt like celebrities because there was a pool right outside their doors. Joey Ramone, (the “godfather of punk”) who had Marfan Syndrome, was self conscious about his 6’6” height and tried to minimize it, as can be seen in the photo above, taken in Washington DC.

MICKEY ROURKE BRINGS HIS OWN WATER BOTTLE TO AGO RESTAURANT

Mickey Rourke looks like he’s wearing a crushed velvet jacket and a Louis Vuitton shoulderbag as he walks into Ago restaurant in West Hollywood. But the odd thing is the (cloudy) bottle of water in his hand. Who brings their own bottle of water to an upscale restaurant? Granted, California has been plagued by drought, but this is a first.

JEREMY SCOTT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A TRUCK DRIVER

We love a designer who LOOKS like a designer and wears his own creations. Jeremy Scott, 40, has always been extravagant in his appearance and he’s the perfect creative director for the whimsical Moschino collection. Jeremy has his own Scott collection and he also was a successful designer for Adidas. Pop stars like Rihanna and Katy Perry love his fun stuff. We’re not altogether sure of what he’s wearing above, but certainly some of it is Moschino.

GLORIA VANDERBILT MAKES ANDERSON COOPER BLUSH

There’s something adorable and old-fashioned about Anderson Cooper. He appeared with his mother Gloria Vanderbilt on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and he actually blushed and cringed at a few of his amazing mother’s personal disclosures. Among the most interesting revelations were the fact that Gloria rated Howard Hughes as the best lover she ever had and also that she would have married him in a minute, but he never asked. She also didn’t think the Howard Hughes movie with Leonardo DiCaprio accurately portrayed Hughes.

ZSA ZSA’S PRINCE FREDERICK IS STILL RIDING HIGH

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband, “Prince” Frederick Von Anhalt, 72, is spending a relaxing afternoon in Beverly Hills wearing knickers and red socks with sneakers. His young male companion might be one of the adult German males that he “adopted” (for a fee) so they can assume a royal title. The legitimacy of his own title has always been in question, but it impressed Zsa Zsa and that’s what matters. Poor Zsa Zsa is 99 years old, bedridden, and completely unaware of her surroundings, but that doesn’t stop Frederick from having fun…

TAYLOR SWIFT IS HOT AGAIN

Taylor Swift showed off her snazzy new hair when she and model Lily Aldridge shared a vegetarian lunch at M Café. Recently Taylor turned up at a music event sporting what can only be described as a brown pageboy! (We wonder if her boyfriend preferred her to look “plain” – it happens.) But she came to her senses and lightened up her hair and chopped it off and she looks hot again. And it’s not easy to look hot next to Victoria’s Secret model Lily, a longtime member of Taylor’s girl squad.

KATIE HOLMES IS DEAD TO THE SCIENTOLOGISTS

Sometimes our readers are amazingly observant. This photo of David Miscavige in his military best also features a picture of him and Tom Cruise on the wall behind him. The photo was taken in 2008 when the Tom, his wife Katie Holmes, and Miscavige watched motorcycle races in Monterey California. David LOVES photos of himself with movie star Tom, but he HATES Katie for abandoning Scientology and taking Suri along with her. A smart reader pointed out that – if you look closely- you can see that Katy’s face has been BLACKED OUT! Destroyed! Really? And Miscavige wants us to think he’s a normal person?

MIA FARROW AND HER DAUGHTER STAND UNITED

Mia Farrow turned up at a New York event with her pregnant daughter Dylan Farrow, 30. (Dylan is expecting a girl) You may recall that Dylan wrote an open letter to the New York Times two years ago rebuking the film industry for ignoring child abuse claims against her mother’s ex-boyfriend Woody Allen. She insists that Woody sexually assaulted her when she was 7, but he was investigated and not charged. Her brother Moses, now 38, defended Woody and stated that Mia poisoned her children’s minds and implanted memories of abuse. Dylan has been living happily in Florida under another name.

SCIENTOLOGY LEADER DAVID MISCAVIGE WANTS YOUR RESPECT!

Tom Cruise has been spending most of his time in the UK and suddenly it might not seem so inviting. Tom’s very close friend David Miscavige has his panties in a knot because his own father is publishing an anti-Scientology book there. (Of course, we LOVE him for that!) The sensational book is called “Ruthless: Scientology, My Son David Miscavige, and Me.” Scientology leader David Miscavige has already hired an expensive anti- defamation law firm there and he’s hoping to scare the publishers into chickening out, as has happened so often before. But the libel laws have softened in the UK, and hopefully the publishers will stand their ground. The Hollywood Reporter published the threatening legal letter taken from Tony Ortega’s website. We were especially amused by this statement: “As the leader of a worldwide religion, our client (David Miscavige) is entitled to an appropriate degree of respect.”

ELIZABETH OLSEN OUT-GLAMS HER TWIN SISTERS


It is NOT immediately apparent that Elizabeth Olsen is the younger sister of the legendary Olsen twins – Ashley and Mary-Kate. Elizabeth looks sexy and glamorous at the UK premier of her new movie Captain America; Civil War. And at 5’6” she’s got a few inches on the tiny twins. When she was a kid Elizabeth, 27, followed in the acting footsteps of the twin stars of “Full House.” But while her sisters veered into the world of fashion with considerable success, Elizabeth carved out a career as a popular actress. Her older sisters prefer dark funky fashion and they hide behind big sunglasses, while Elizabeth is more down to earth and fresh.
