MEG RYAN’S SON JACK IS A WORKING ACTOR

Meg Ryan and her son Jack Quaid, 23, always look like they’re having fun when they hang out together. Meg lives in New York with her daughter Daisy and she came back to her former hometown Brentwood to spend time with Jack. In 2015 Meg directed and starred in Ithaca, a drama set in the 1940’s. Her old pal Tom Hanks and Sam Shepard also starred, along with Jack, who was appropriately cast as her character’s son. Jack’s acting career is hotter than his mom’s – after The Hunger Games, he landed a role on the hot new HBO series Vinyl, produced by Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger. It’s all about the music business in the tumultuous 1970’s, and it’s rumored that David Bowie appears on one episode.

STEVEN TYLER KNOWS WHO HIS BEST FRIENDS ARE

While his fellow rock stars are, sadly, dropping like flies, Steven Tyler is still livin’ the life. He arrived with a flourish at LAX for a flight to Nashville with his two best friends – his adorable dogs. He doesn’t go anywhere without them. The cuteness of the pups (who DO resemble him slightly) almost makes up for Tyler’s questionable fashion choices. Socks with sandals – in the winter? He’s also wearing a black leather coat lined with some kind of fur, and two shoulder bags. At least there’s no baseball cap.

LENA DUNHAM SPENT MLK DAY AT LOCOL IN WATTS

MLK Monday was the ideal date for the grand opening of the new LA restaurant LocoL, situated in Watts. Celebrity Chef Roy Choi did the area a favor by prettying up the formerly dismal neighborhood. And the locals responded with enthusiasm – a line formed around the block for the new place, which offers healthy fast food with fresh ingredients. It’s a hybrid of Mexican, American, and Asian food. And it’s AFFORDABLE! Healthy, tasty food priced from $1.00 to $6.00. Watts doesn’t get many trendy establishments so this is a big deal. A few Hollywood types showed up – Lena Dunham brought some friends, and Jon Favreau was spotted somewhere in the crowd.

CHARLTON HESTON: THE HOUSE REVEALS A LOT ABOUT THE MAN

charlton heston14

We are still REELING with joy from a visit to the home of the late Charlton Heston. (Estate sale) Much of what we remember about the actor was negatively tied to his NRA association. But he was a much different person than we imagined. He built his Coldwater Canyon dream house in 1959 with Ben Hur money and the help of architect William S Beckett. And he cherished every carefully thought-out inch of it. (Incredible!) The actor was far more intellectual than we expected – his library and book collection was amazing. And his appreciation of art was evident in his huge collection. Heston was married to his wife Lydia for 65 years until he died, and his two children are both educated and successful and admired their father. Forget politics. He was evidently a decent and intelligent man. Could you ask for more?

OLIVIER MARTINEZ WANTS HIS KID TO LOVE SOCCER

It’s sweet, but also a little sad to see dads like Olivier Martinez, 50, spending weekend time at the park with their kids. Halle Berry has two men picking up their respective children weekly or whatever their custody agreement allows. Olivier really wants to be in Paris where his work and his friends are, but he also wants to be with his two year old son Maceo. Since he loves soccer, Olivier is introducing his little boy to the sport early.

JOY MANGANO HAULED THE MOPS OUT AGAIN – TO GREAT SUCCESS!

Home Shopping Network mogul Joy Mangano is enjoying even more success since director David O Russell’s movie Joy, based on her life story, was released. (Jennifer Lawrence plays Joy in the film) Joy relaunched her invention The Miracle Mop this month and according to The Hollywood Reporter she had a special customer call in. David O Russell ordered 13 mops (his lucky number) and some other products from the delighted Joy. He also told her that Bradley Cooper’s mom Gloria was a special consultant on the movie because she was an ardent fan of HSN in the 90’s! WE can’t help but wonder what Joy’s relatives think of their zany portrayals in the movie!

NEWLY SINGLE PARIS JACKSON CHANGES HER LOOK

Paris Jackson, 17, can’t get her hair black enough since she and her boyfriend split last month. Paris’s two years older beau, Chester Castellaw, went off to college in Northridge in the fall and nothing was ever the same. Paris was madly in love and called Chester her “one true love” – she also said he was her best friend. There was marriage talk and certainly her family was concerned – Paris is set to inherit a LOT of money and they want her to be cautious. Meanwhile, Paris is heartbroken, as girls her age tend to be, and she’s hoping she won’t be as recognizable with darker hair. (Above right, she’s with a friend leaving hair salon)

CHRISTINA AGUILERA WILL HATE THIS PHOTO

Christina Aguilera is beaming after a night out at The Nice Guy

Even Christina Aguilera can take a bad picture. In fact she hardly looked like herself as she was leaving The Nice Guy last night. We’ve seen Christina stagger out of nightclubs looking considerably the worse for wear, but she never looked quite like THIS. Yikes. Maybe it’s the make up. At least she seems happy.

CELINE DION’S LIFE WILL GO ON

How Celine Dion managed to carry on and perform with her husband Rene Angelil slowly dying is a mystery. We have to give her a lot of credit. Apparently Celine didn’t tell their 3 sons that their father was terminally ill. When doctors gave him the bad news he insisted Celine return to work after she took off a year to care for him. His doctors didn’t expect Rene to survive until Christmas but he did. Celine arranged to have a lavish Christmas celebration for the family. She’s been performing in Las Vegas since September, dreading this awful moment. Rene, 73, died today. It must be something of a relief at this point. We feel for her.
