KRIS JENNER WAS MORE THAN HELPFUL TO SELMA BLAIR

We just KNEW that Kris Jenner was secretly thrilled that beautiful Selma Blair was cast to play her in American Crime Story. Actually it was one of the best casting decisions – while Cuba Gooding Jr as OJ Simpson was probably the least appropriate casting choice. Selma says that Kris was immediately talkative and helpful in explaining her feelings when her friend Nicole Simpson was murdered. Kris even invited Selma, 43, and her 4 year old son Arthur over to spend Christmas eve with her family. Selma was surprised when Kris gave her a Brevilla Pizza Maker as a gift.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO FLIES BY PRIVATE JET, BUT HE WANTS US TO CONSERVE FUEL!

We had to laugh at the National Enquirer story accusing Leonardo DiCaprio of “Oscar worthy hypocrisy” when it comes to saving the planet. In his Oscar acceptance speech Leo rambled on about climate change and the need for everyone to work together. (Meaning everyone but HIMSELF!) The Enquirer quoted Leo as saying “Our planet cannot be saved unless we leave fossil fuels in the ground where they belong!” Yet Leo doesn’t give up his OWN comforts. The tabloid pointed out that Leo consistently flies by PRIVATE JET and frequently is seen lounging on gigantic yachts that guzzle enormous quantities of fuel. Of course he owns huge homes and properties in New York and LA that use massive amounts of water and electricity. But he cares about the environment, so he wants US to conserve!

KYM JOHNSON IS SAVING THE LAST DANCE FOR ROBERT HERJAVEC

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Kym Johnson, 39, to return to Dancing with the Stars any time soon. She just caught the big fish that all the dancers dream about! Billionaire Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec 53, (he’s one of the nicer ones) has just proposed to Kym. They’ve been together since they were assigned as dance partners on the show last season. Most people figured the relationship would fizzle out like most dance floor romances. But this is for real and Kym, who’s never been married, already has a huge diamond.

ASHLEY GRAHAM: MAYBE THE WORST-DRESSED IN OSCAR HISTORY!

We went into SHOCK when we turned to the E! channel on Oscar night and found their panel of three women discussing Oscar fashion. Dead center was plus size Sports Illustrated model Ashley Graham looking like a cheezy stripper. Her tiny expository dress bordered on the obscene and it was ironic that she was observing and criticizing OTHER women’s red carpet fashion! Kris Jenner sat right NEXT to her on the panel and tried very hard NOT to look at her glaring exposure. We hoped she would make some sort of crack but she probably was afraid of offending plus size women! Ashley’s lapse in taste has NOTHING to do with her size, but her appearance was a huge step BACK for larger women.

OSCAR WINNER SPOTLIGHT IS A TRIBUTE TO JOURNALISTS AND FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

What fun it was on the red carpet at the Academy Awards this afternoon! We appeared again this year gossiping about the Oscars for ZDF German TV. The adorable Florian Weiss hosted the segment and conducted the interview while handsome cameraman Thomas Jacobi filmed the proceedings. We were surrounded by interviews being done in every language imaginable. One thing for sure – German people love Hollywood and gossip! We were disappointed that Brooklyn didn’t win Best Picture but we love the winner, Spotlight, because journalists are the heroes for a change.

MAD MAX:FURY ROAD IS THE MOST ORIGINAL FILM OF THE YEAR

As far as we’re concerned, Mad Max:Fury Road should take home ALL the Oscars for visuals – makeup, costumes, photography, set decoration etc. It is by FAR the most original film to come along in YEARS. We cannot forget the image of those pasty shaved head War Boys spraying their mouths with chrome paint before they burst into a frenzy of violence. How many times do you see things in a movie YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE? This creativity must be rewarded.

BRIDGET JONES WOULD APPROVE OF RENEE ZELLWEGER’S BOYFRIEND

Renee Zellweger, 46, has always had a weakness for musicians, but this time it looks like she found a keeper. She’s been with Doyle Bramhall II for four years now and they seem very happy. Doyle, 47, is actually a busy and working musician and songwriter, and he was born in Texas like Renee. Renee can next be seen in The Whole Truth with Keanu Reeves. (Bonus: Doyle is actually a handsome guy under all that hair)

PARTY TIME FOR CHRISTOPHE WALTZ

Past Oscar winner Christoph Waltz, 59, is enjoying the pre-Oscar parties and he was photographed arriving at the Cadillac party at the Chateau Marmont with an attractive young woman. He IS married with children – his wife is costume designer Judith Holste and they share homes in Berlin and Los Angeles. We’re not hinting at any funny business BUT…. Incidentally, Christophe won 19 OTHER awards besides the Oscar for his supporting role in Inglourious Basterds in 2009. He’ll be seen next in The Legend of Tarzan.

BRIE LARSON: THE GIRL MOST LIKELY

Best Actress nominee Brie Larson, 26, arrived at LAX without much fanfare, but those days will soon be over. She took a very dreary challenging role in the movie Room and made it something special. The movie was not easy to watch, but her performance was subtle and brilliant. Brie’s main Oscar competition is likely Saoirse Ronan in Brooklyn but that role too closely resembled Saoirse’s own life story. Brie’s currently filming the big budget extravaganza Kong: Skull Island and she’s been working in various far-away jungle locations in third world countries. We think she’ll have an Oscar in her suitcase when she flies back to the jungle.

SCOUT AND TALLULAH WILLIS: EASY ON THE EYES

You can always count on the Willis sisters to liven up a party. Scout, 24, and Tallulah, 22, arrived at the Vanity Fair Barneys event at Chateau Marmont looking like they were on their way to a slumber party. Scout wore satin lounging pajamas and Tallulah wore a green satin negligee with black furry bedroom slippers. We can tell the sisters apart by their eyes – Scout has dreamy bedroom eyes and Tallulah has naughty sneaky eyes. These girls don’t seem to be pursuing acting like their sister Rumer, so we don’t know WHAT they do for a living.
