SEAN PENN CLAIMS HE WAS NEVER VIOLENT WITH MADONNA – OR ANY OTHER WOMEN

103939PCN_Penn02cut

The fact that Sean Penn is suing Lee Daniels for ten million dollars for claiming he’s a wife beater is a FASCINATING turn of events. Daniels had offhandedly commented to The Hollywood Reporter that Empire star Terrence Howard’s record of violence against women was no worse than Marlon Brando’s or Sean Penn’s – in other words “no big deal.” We’re SHOCKED that Penn, who seemed to enjoy his bad boy rep, took offense. Penn claims that although he’s had problems with the law, he’s never been CONVICTED of domestic violence. We remember the violent episode many years ago that ended his marriage to Madonna. She told her close friends about it but never discussed it in public. Granted, the hot -tempered actor may not have been ARRESTED for domestic violence – but he knows in his heart he’s GUILTY. The women in question preferred to avoid public embarrassment by calling attention to his behavior. Or maybe they were AFRAID. It certainly would be interesting if Madonna were called to testify in this case – would she tell the truth?

RYAN REYNOLDS: IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD, IT’S JUST A PHOTO!

142766PCN_Ryan02cut

Ryan Reynolds claims he was devastated when a “lifelong friend” attempted to sell private photos of his baby to the tabloids. He described it as a “shocking betrayal” but we think he’s making a mountain out of a molehill and should not end the friendship. It’s only a PHOTO – his baby is not in danger. Why would Ryan rather have a strange photographer (possibly perched on a neighbor’s roof) get paid for the first baby photo than a FRIEND? Many thoughtful celebrities who have a not-so-wealthy relative or friend are kind enough to hand over the valuable baby photo and encourage them sell it! SOMEONE is going to make money with that picture – why not a friend? Give the guy a break.

CLIFTON’S CAFETERIA STILL HAS RAINBOW JELLO!

IMG_20150921_1clifton

Clifton’s legendary Cafeteria had its grand opening tonight (A fundraiser for the LA Conservancy) and if you loved eating at cafeterias when you were a kid, THIS is the place to be! Remember those turkey dinners with mashed potatoes and jello desserts? They are still there. Along with Waldorf salad and creamed cauliflower! All in potentially beautiful downtown Los Angeles. The new owner Andrew Meieran seems to feel the love for the old cafeteria also. Of course he’s adding a modern and pricier “comfort food’ restaurant upstairs and a tiki bar. But the lovable cafeteria retains much of its original charm – and cleaned up. We ran into midcentury historian Charles Phoenix there and he put his tray down to pose for a photo.

SOFIA VERGARA AND LADY GAGA: GIRLS JUST WANT TO HAVE FUN!

AG084958_22gaga

Maybe they don’t realize it, and maybe they do, but longtime friends Sofia Vergara and Lady Gaga seem to be trying to outdo each other in this Emmy photo. They both happened to be at the Fox Primetime Emmy Award party at Vibiana. The party was at the former Cathedral of Saint Vibiana – one of the oldest and most lavish downtown churches in LA. It’s now a party venue. In the above photo, Sofia is definitely the sexiest, but Gaga wins for best fashion. Sofia’s handsome fiancée Joe Manganiello was with her that night but Gaga’s equally delicious fiancée, Taylor Kinney, was nowhere in sight. (As usual, he doesn’t do many Hollywood events.)

MICKEY ROURKE STOLE JUSTIN BIEBER’S HAIR!

AG084890_01mickey

Maybe he’s between movies because it looks like Mickey Rourke, 63, got Justin Bieber’s asymmetrical haircut. His movie Ashby is coming out this week, and it’s a comedy, of all things. Mickey plays a retired CIA assassin who befriends and becomes a mentor to a nerdy teenage boy who moves next door. Sarah Silverman plays the kid’s single mother. Ironically, Mickey even teaches the kid to box.

KYM JOHNSON AND ROBERT HERJAVEC: IT’S NOT A FAKE DWTS ROMANCE!

142648PCN_Robert04cut

Finally, a romance born on Dancing with the Stars seems to be the real thing! For many seasons, the show drummed up fake romances for the contestants who danced with Derek Hough or Maxsim Chmerkovskiy for publicity reasons .(Imagine Kirstie Alley with Maksim!) Last year sparks DID fly between pro dancer Kym Johnson, 39. and her partner, Shark Tank billionaire Robert Herjavec, 52.The new season has started and they are STILL together, in case you were wondering. Kym is not dancing on the show this season – wonder why… (Above the couple was seen at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills)

GUESS WHO! CAITLYN JENNER OR KELLY BENSIMON?

Have you noticed the astonishing resemblance between Caitlyn Jenner and Real Housewives of NY star Kelly Bensimon? Perhaps Bruce was inspired by the athletic Bensimon when he started to transition. They dress alike and look even more alike in sporty attire. Similar faces, hair, and body type. BOTH of the photos above are Kelly, but could easily pass for Bruce.

MADONNA IS AS OFFENSIVE AND ENTERTAINING AS EVER

142584PCN_Madonna13cut

Madonna’s Rebel Heart Tour performance at Madison Square Garden was described as “3 hours of proving what a goddess she is.” Rolling Stone raved over her performance and praised her expansive “Olympic level choreography.” Who puts on a better concert than Madonna? – and she’s 57 years old! She still loves to shock: The show includes transgender “nuns” gyrating on crosses/stripper poles. It’s funny that she makes fun of Catholicism but never has bearded Hasidic men gyrating their abs. Opening act Amy Schumer also hit a home run with the crowd. Ex-husband Sean Penn was in the first row and brought his excited daughter Dylan backstage to meet Madonna. Sweet.

RITA ORA: THE GIRL THAT DROVE ROB KARDASHIAN OUT OF HIS MIND

142559PCN_Ritaora0cut)

When UK singer Rita Ora is in New York she must change her clothes four times a day. (We’ve seen the photos that prove it) This girl always looks sexy and interesting – she must have an amazing glam squad on call 24/7. We (like most people) have never heard her sing, but enjoy looking at her. (Those bangs are not real.) She’s popular- but her ex-boyfriends rarely end up as friends. Most often, they want NOTHING to do with her. Look what happened to Rob Kardashian: He dated her for awhile, but she refused to stop seeing others. She broke his heart – he lamented “She cheated on me with nearly 20 dudes!” After that Rob went on his drug and eating binge and dropped out of sight. Rita never looked back.

DIANE KRUGER IS WEARING A VICTORIAN LAMPSHADE

AG084487_03(1diane)

Diane Kruger almost always gets it right, but she missed the boat on this one. She turned up to promote her new movie Sky with Norman Reedus and Lena Dunham, in this unfortunate concoction. Like a lampshade, this stiff, overbearing frock looks like it could stand up by itself. Tiny Diane is dwarfed by the sheer volume. Maybe she wore this unflattering dress as a favor to a designer friend.
