IS LORI PETTY REALLY A TOMBOY?

When we first saw this pink parachute outfit on the SAG red carpet we had no idea who the wearer was. Who would be caught dead in this ill fitting outfit obviously made for a MUCH taller person? We figured maybe a writer who didn’t get out much. But it turned out to be ACTRESS Lori Petty, 52, who built her career in the 90’s as a tough tomboy type in A League of Their Own and Tank Girl. To her credit, she’s currently appearing in a bunch of episodes of Orange is the New Black, which means she can AFFORD to look better. There has been much discussion about whether Lori is gay or straight, but the question has never been answered….or did this strange apparel answer the question?

RAY LIOTTA HAS SOMETHING MONEY CAN’T BUY: A GREAT HEAD OF HAIR!

Ray Liotta, 61, brought his 17 year old daughter Karsen to the SAG Awards and she looks a bit like a young Dakota Johnson. Karsen is already modeling and hopes to get into acting like her dad. English papers are all aflutter, accusing Ray of having lots of plastic surgery, but it’s not so evident to us. The Shades of Blue star DOES have an impressive head of hair, however.

KRISTEN WIIG CLEANED UP NICE FOR THE SAG AWARDS

While perusing red carpet photos from the SAG awards we were struck by this picture of Kristen Wiig. First of all, she looks quite pretty – her comedy characters are usually monumentally unattractive. Also we like the simplicity of her understated outfit – she’s not trying too hard to outglam anyone, but she looks sure of herself. Best of all, the SNL alum didn’t ADVERTISE the designer – implying that she MIGHT have picked out the apparel herself. Also, no obvious borrowed jewelry. She didn’t pick up an award but the Zoolander 2 star scored with us.

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES HAS HIT THE WALL AND DOESN’T LIKE IT

Catherine Zeta Jones, 46, is busy promoting her British comedy Dad’s Army, and she took her pretty mother Patricia Fair along for the ride. She admits that she’s suddenly feeling the pinch of the lack of roles for women in Hollywood over the age of 35. Catherine says she wasn’t aware of the problem until it slammed her personally. Her husband Michael Douglas, 71, continues to get desirable movie offers.

JUSTIN LONG MIGHT BE THE PERFECT BOYFRIEND – ONSCREEN

Actresses grow tire of repeatedly playing “the girlfriend” in movies but, Justin Long, 37, never seems to grow tired of it. He is the perfect boyfriend type – likeable, cool enough, but not overbearing. Last season he played Amy Schumer’s boyfriend on her Comedy Central series Inside Amy Schumer and apparently he was a hit because he’s back for more. He was photographed looking cute in his suit, arriving on set yesterday.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER: ACTION HERO TO MONEY MOGUL ON “CELEBRITY APPRENTICE”

Arnold Schwarzenegger was totally delighted when he was asked to fill Donald Trump’s mogul shoes as host of Celebrity Apprentice. As you can see here he is dressed up in his best suit and ready to start disciplining season 8’s collection of “celebrities.” Many of the faces are not familiar, but we DO recognize Boy George, Snooki, Jon Lovitz, and Kyle Richards in the crowd. The NBC series will be filmed in Los Angeles this time around, with an emphasis on technology. NBC has not announced a premier date yet, but we WILL miss seeing Ivanka Trump on the show.

ANGELA BASSETT: WHAT YOU GET IS WHAT YOU SEE

Angela Bassett, 57, must have knocked em’ DEAD when she showed up for the premier of her husband’s FX miniseries American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson. She looks magnificent. Her husband of 19 years, Courtney B Vance plays OJ’s flashy attorney Johnnie Cochran. The Tina Turner star has been keeping rather busy herself – she’s on TV in two series- American Horror Story and Close to the Enemy, AND she stars in with Gerard Butler in London Has Fallen, coming out in March.

COLIN FARRELL IS NO LONGER “THAT HAPPY IRISH GUY”

Not long ago Colin Farrell was lamenting that he hadn’t had a girlfriend in five years and spent all his spare time with his two sons. He’s not alone any more – he was photographed ducking out of Le Conversation in West Hollywood with a new cute girlfriend. When Colin, now 39, first arrived in Hollywood he was hailed as the Next Big Thing and he was QUITE a player. His motto was “drugs, sex, and whiskey” and he indulged like a madman. He swept many females off their feet – including Britney Spears! Rehab followed, and when Colin stopped drinking he lost a lot of his playful personality and became very intense. Now he’s doing yoga. Who would have guessed?

IGGY AZALEA: SOME CELEBRITIES ARE JUST PLAIN NUTS

Iggy Azalea hit some of the shops in Paris before returning to the ritzy George V Hotel. We can’t help but wonder WHAT WAS SHE THINKING when she put on a fur lined overcoat, shades, and SANDALS in the dreary forty-something degree French weather? SO L.A. It’s get-ups like this that give people from California (she lives here now) a bad name. At least a ditzy name. Iggy was invited to several designer shows, including Viktor & Rolf, during Fashion Week and we sincerely hoped she upgraded her footwear for the events.

THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM GREASE: LIVE

Fox is promoting their musical Grease:Live all over town. And this is just the beginning. Castmembers Julianne Hough and Vanessa Hudgens led a class at SoulCycle in Hollywood to music from the show. Our source happened to be driving on Sunset Blvd and came upon a crowd staring up at the huge Grease:Live billboard in front of Chateau Marmont. Cast members in full costume climbed up to the sign and danced to the music. Gaping drivers caused a nice traffic jam, but more people will be tuning in to Fox on Jan 31.
