LINDSAY LOHAN CREATED A NEW LIFE IN LONDON BUT WILL HER PAST COME BACK TO BITE HER?

Lindsay Lohan did the smartest thing a trainwreck can do – she moved to Europe where people were not as familiar with her exploits. The former child star had become a tabloid queen famous for hard partying, drug arrests, a string of DUI’S, and multiple rehab visits. She was considered unemployable by many, and her career was diminishing. Clever Lindsay, 29, moved to London and last summer she started dating a 22 year old Russian heir who was probably completely in the dark about her history. Her new live-in boyfriend, Egor Tarabasov, is educated, owns a real estate agency, and sometimes looks a little like Johnny Depp. Not a bad catch. Lindsay brought him home to New York to meet her family, but has SHE met HIS family? Lindsay denies she’s engaged, but looks like she wants to be. She’s even getting along with her estranged father Michael Lohan again.
Above, Lindsay and Egor went out in New York with her father and Michael looks like he’s perturbed with a door man.

ANIMAL LOVERS ALERT: DON’T MISS “THE JUNGLE BOOK”

The animals in Disney’s latest version of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book are as realistic as they are incredibly appealing. Especially the wolf pack. Kids will learn to appreciate and respect the computer generated jungle creatures (including armadillos) who all have their own amusing personalities. (And, of course, there are a few lessons to be learned.) The director, Jon Favreau, had a hard time finding the right boy to play Mowgli – he auditioned thousands of kids before he found New Yorker Neel Sethi and he’s absolutely perfect. The only drawback to this exquisite film is the violence. It’s a shame to see kids get accustomed to and NEED violence to hold their attention. Sensitive children under 10 might get quite upset. Sometimes we long for the old Disney films that relied on stories rather than conflict. But overall, this movie is a delicious experience.

GIGI HADID BARELY AVOIDS BEING PEED ON

It’s always a risk when one wears open toed sandals in New York, but Gigi Hadid lives dangerously. Zayn Malik was nowhere in sight as she jumped out of a car dashed to catch up with friends at a restaurant. A large dog lifted his leg at a fire hydrant in her path and she hastily and successfully leaped out of harm’s way.

NICK RHODES WAS THE ULTIMATE 80’S PRETTY BOY AT HIS WEDDING

What could be more uplifting on a Monday than a trip back to the indulgent 80’s? We came upon this photo of Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes’ 1984 wedding at the observational Dangerous Minds.net site and it says EVERYTHING about music style in the 80’s. Nick, 22, married Idaho department store heiress Julie Anne Friedman, 25, in a costly over the top ceremony in London. When Andy Warhol met the couple (he had a crush on Rhodes) he remarked that Nick “wore twice as much makeup as Julie” and was “half as tall.” In spite of the decadent era, the marriage lasted 8 years and produced a daughter. (We met Nick at an MTV event in the 80’s and he was as adorable as he was high on something.)

HOW MUCH WAS KIM KARDASHIAN PAID TO WEAR THIS HIDEOUS DRESS?

We’re guessing Kim Kardashian West was paid a PRETTY PENNY to humiliate herself in the gaudy and atrocious ill-fitting gown. Maybe some (Chinese?) designer with more money than talent bribed her to wear this creation, which happens to be absurdly and dangerously long. She resembles a Christmas tree ornament and the dress probably weighs a ton also. Cher is her showgirl phase never looked this silly. And Kim seems to be dead serious.

JK ROWLING USED HER TASTE BUDS TO MAKE SURE UNIVERSAL’S HARRY POTTER TREATS ARE JUST RIGHT

Hollywood cannot stop talking about the new attraction at Universal Studios – The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The new park area took five long years to build and the attention to detail is astonishing. The book’s author JK Rowling was intimately involved in getting everything just right – her approval was necessary. And, according to the Hollywood Reporter, that includes all the food and treats available in restaurants and stores. The chefs at Universal flew to the author’s home in Scotland and had her taste everything from shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, to chocolate frogs and every type of Scottish candy in the sweet shop. With a few alterations, she declared the food exactly right.

THIS IS HOW A PROJECT RUNWAY JUDGE DRESSES?

Look, we love Alyssa Milano as much as anyone else. She was adorable on both “Who’s The Boss?” and “Charmed,” BUT she has no business being host and judge on Project Runway because she knows ZIP about fashion. At least the former host, Heidi Klum, has an intimate knowledge of style and designers from her long career as a model. And Heidi always presents herself well. When we hear Alyssa put down an aspiring designer on the show, it HURTS because she doesn’t really know what she’s talking about. She wore the pink dress, above, to promote the show and she looks matronly and dowdy. Unfortunately, this is about as good as it gets with Alyssa. She is no style expert.

WORST WIG OF THE WEEK: JEFF BECK

Jeff Beck may be an amazing guitarist, but he has no taste whatsoever when it come to picking out wigs. This oversize frosted hairpiece looks like something Cher wore in the 80’s and it fools NO ONE. Nobody has hair like that at the age of 71. Jeff needs a hairstylist – or maybe some advice from Mickey Rourke.

JOHNNY HALLYDAY AND MICKEY ROURKE : TWO OF A KIND?

French singer Johnny Hallyday and Mickey Rourke hung out in front of Mr Chow having a smoke before they went inside for dinner. They almost costarred with Christopher Walken in an untitled gangster movie in 2010. Johnny always wanted to be an actor and admired Mickey’s career. The film was about a New Jersey crime family seeking to expand internationally. For some reason, the movie never got made, but Johnny and Mickey became friends and frequently see each other both in Paris and LA.

NORTH WEST IN VAIL: TOO YOUNG FOR HAIR EXTENSIONS?

Certainly the most interesting part of the Kardashian ski trip to Vail (except for the vision of Kanye on skis) is the revelation that North West, 2, is sporting hair extensions in braids. The trip appears to have been planned solely for the benefit of reality show cameras rather than genuine family fun. North’s long hair created quite a stir online. The female members of the Kardashian family have long depended on hair augmentation, but isn’t TWO rather young to start? Children’s hair is so fine that it could be quite damaging. Can false eyelashes be far behind?
