JADE JAGGER: PROOF THAT TIME FLIES

AG_094126_003jade

Jade, 44, is Mick Jagger’s only child with his first wife, Nicaraguan socialite/ model Bianca Jagger. We happened to own a clothing store on Sunset Strip in the early 70’s (The Garment District) and Mick and Bianca came in together. Not only was Bianca the BOSS, but she was even tighter with money than her famous husband. She demanded a discount simply because of her last name! Mick was more polite but he spent an inordinate amount of time deciding whether to buy a t-shirt in green or blue – and it only cost $20. (why not BOTH?) Now their daughter is grown up and looking like a well-to-do London matron. She DOES have a career as a jewelry designer, and she presented her new collection at Selfridges.

WHAT’S EDDIE MURPHY SMILING ABOUT?

AG_094031_005cut

Eddie Murphy has never looked happier – in the company of a woman, at least. He’s been keeping company with gorgeous Australian model Paige Butcher for three years and they REALLY love to have coffee together, among other things. Eddie’s 54 to Paige’s 36, and he’s about to start what could be a second family with her. She’s expecting her first child (and his ninth) in Spring. Eddie’s set to star in Lee Daniels’ new Richard Pryor movie.

WILLIAM H MACY IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT

AG_093918_009macy

What’s interesting about this photo is first of all, Shameless star William H Macy, 65, took his daughter Sophia, 15, shopping at The Grove and he is NOT a divorced father – he is still married to her mom Felicity Huffman. (for 18 years!) The Grove is generally loaded with single fathers trying to entertain their kids on the day they have custody. Second interesting feature: teenage Sophia has her face buried in a BOOK, not a phone! How often do you see that!

CHARLOTTE CASIRAGHI ROMANCED “THE JERRY SEINFELD OF FRANCE”

145746PCN_Charlotte38(1)cut

Whenever we see Charlotte Casiraghi we are reminded of how Grace Kelly’s genes improved the first family of Monaco. Charlotte, 29, a competitive horse-jumper and Gucci model, is Grace’s granddaughter. And she has a sense of humor – until recently her partner (and the father of her two year old son Raphael) was Gad Elmaleh, He’s 44 and a stand-up comic and actor described as the “Jerry Seinfeld of France” because of his observational humor. It has been said they split because he was always on the road. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. (Above, Charlotte at a recent riding event in Paris)

THE SECOND TIME AROUND FOR VANESSA REDGRAVE AND FRANCO NERO

AG_093836_001vancut

Until we saw this photo we didn’t realize that Vanessa Redgrave,78, and Franco Nero,74, were a couple. It’s a sweet story. Back in the swinging 60’s they were both young and hot – she shot to stardom in Blowup and he was a tall and hunky Italian movie star. They met when they costarred in Camelot in 1966 and fell in love. They had a son Carlo in 1969 and eventually drifted apart and moved on with other partners. In 1996 they rekindled their romance and have been married since then. Above, they took a break from a film festival in Turkey and went for a romantic walk.

LOUIS CK WANTS HIS KIDS TO GROW UP THE WAY HE DID

145730PCN_Louis02cut

We like seeing comedian Louis CK spending time with his kids. He doesn’t want his daughters – Kitty and Mary– to grow up “spoiled or weird.” Instead of sending them to school in a limo, they take the city bus like other kids. And he says he hopes they both get crappy minimum wage jobs in retail when they’re old enough – just like he did.

SLIMMER CARRIE FISHER SAYS HER DOG LOVED “THE FORCE AWAKENS”

AG_093689_004fisher

The outspoken Carrie Fisher is one of our longtime favorites – she’s incredibly smart and funny and occasionally plagued by psychological problems. She’s promoting The Force Awakens and likes to joke about how she was asked to lose 35 pounds before filming started. “They didn’t want ALL of me” she says “they only wanted 3/4 of me. They might as well have told me to GET YOUNGER!” Carrie went on to say that her French Bulldog Gary (above at the airport) was so smitten with the movie that his tongue has been hanging out ever since he saw it.

SARAH SILVERMAN MAKES FUN OF CAMERA-SHY CELEBRITIES

AG_093579_001sara2

Craig’s restaurant and Gracias Madre are right across the street from each other in West Hollywood so they are the most heavily paparazzied places in town. Anyone who wants to be seen goes to one place or the other. Some celebrities take themselves very seriously and act like they don’t want to be photographed. (Yet they dine at the hottest place around!) Sarah Silverman walked out of Craig’s and made fun of such celebs by pretending to cower and flee from photogs. After a good laugh, she posed nicely for everyone.

DITA VON TEESE IS THE ANTI-KARDASHIAN

145628PCN_Teese11(1cut)

The entire Kardashian family could use some charm, poise, and fashion lessons from Dita Von Teese. Some make-up lessons too. We are consistently amazed by Dita’s reliable good taste. Whether she’s at the supermarket (yes, we’ve bumped into her there) or leaving her hotel in New York, (above) she is tastefully attired. We have NEVER seen her in spandex and wardrobe malfunctions just don’t happen to her! Her hair is her own, and she does it herself. Her makeup is perfect without that Kardashian heavy shading, absurd eyelashes, and puffed up lips. Dita never disappoints.

DOES JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS’ FIANCEE KNOW WHAT SHE’S IN FOR?

AG_093491_004RHYS

Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his fiancée Mara Lane, along with her adorable puppy, look like a happy couple walking in Beverly Hills. Jonathan looks a LOT better than the last time we saw photos of him last May. Remember, he was staggering around in the daytime in London, looking like a frazzled mess, guzzling vodka out of a big bottle. When Jonathan falls off the wagon, he does so in a spectacular manner. There have been a number of airplane incidents and public scenes, but with the help of rehab, Jonathan survived them all and returned to work. Somehow he managed to hold on to his fiancée.
