WE AGREE WITH ANDY COHEN: STOP PICKING ON MADONNA!

andy-madonna-1cut

We were delighted to see that Bravo’s Andy Cohen agrees with us on the subject of Madonna and her choices. Why Madonna brings out the WORST in the online haters is a mystery. We LOVE that Madonna has the courage NOT to dress like everyone else on red carpets. Andy also enjoys her originality in a sea of celebrities who are afraid to be different. Most unpleasant are the WOMEN who pick on Madonna for being “too old” to wear this or do that. Hey, lighten up. She’s a popstar and has a great body, why not play it to the hilt? As Andy says “She’s Madonna. Let her keep being Madonna. Don’t take that away.”

ANGELINA JOLIE IS FEELING NO PAIN

AG060539_21angiecut

Angelina Jolie and her five year old twins Vivienne and Knox arrived at LAX from London, where she had a meeting about her campaign to end violence against women in areas of conflict. This family must have a lot of frequent flyer miles. Whether Angelina will show up at the Oscars February 22 remains to be seen. Her film Unbroken was not nominated for any major awards, but some technical ones. It’s funny how publications describe her as “painfully thin.” There is nothing painful about being thin and fit, but it IS painful to be overweight. Angelina looks elegant as always.

KHLOE KARDASHIAN: WHITE PANTS ARE NOT YOUR BEST FRIEND!

AG060490_13khloewhitecut

Khloe Kardashian seems to be wearing white tuxedo pants with a satin stripe and a sheer blouse. A jacket might have disguised a multitude of sins. Her pants look tight enough to split any minute so a jacket would have been a safety factor also. White pants are a gamble on anyone over 120 pounds, but Khloe remains fearless. Her trips to the gym have not visibly reduced the size of her bottom. Come to think of it, if she had a normal size butt, she wouldn’t get half as much attention…

JACLYN SMITH IS DOING SOMETHING RIGHT

132532PCN_Jaclyn03ccut

Jaclyn Smith walked out of Craig’s restaurant and looked surprised when fans and photographers swarmed her. Charlie’s Angels is long gone, but not forgotten. What really IS unbelievable is the fact that Jaclyn, whose collections for Kmart are hugely successful, is 69 years old. We will probably NEVER know exactly what she does to look so natural and pretty, but at least we can dash over to Kmart and buy some of her skin care products.

AT LEAST KEVIN COSTNER HAS GOOD GENES

132473PCN_Mcfarland44cut

Nice to see that Kevin Costner’s marriage to Christine Baumgartner is still strong despite his alleged misbehavior with hotel masseuses. The couple has produced some beautiful children – Grace, Hayes, and Cayden. The family appeared at the premier of Kevin’s new movie McFarland USA. If you haven’t seen his movie Black or White, it IS worth seeing. He continues to be a very appealing actor.

Sisters Jackie Collins and Joan Collins had dinner together at Craig’s this week. Since Jackie has written so many sexy Hollywood novels, people always ask her what she thinks of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Jackie says she admires “Fifty Shades” amazing success, but says she doesn’t like the leading female character Anastasia. Collins claims that HER leading women are NOT PASSIVE. “My heroines kick ass. They don’t get their asses kicked.”

As an opinionated group we did a lot of gossip shows together, and had loads of fun.

LEEZA GIBBONS IS A WINNER NO MATTER WHAT

2586942F00000578leezacut

We were NOT surprised to see that the two finalists competing to win Celebrity Apprentice are Geraldo Rivera and Leeza Gibbons. Both had successful daytime talk shows in the 90’s and we appeared on both shows multiple times, gossiping. While Geraldo is a great guy, he can’t hold a candle to Leeza, simply because he is a man. Geraldo is clever but he bullied his way to the finals and egotistically clashed with other contestants. With no histrionics, Leeza simply used her brain and organization skills, along with her inherent kindness and regard for others. She never embarrassed herself or anyone else. No petty feuds. Here’s hoping Leeza and her Alzheimer’s charity triumph!

ROD STEWART IS ALWAYS UP TO SOMETHING

Roderick Stewart, 70, may LOOK like a man of leisure, but he’s currently performing in Las Vegas at Caesar’s Palace several times a week. The dapper rock star even looks good running errands at a Beverly Hills hobby shop. Forty years ago, thrifty Rod moved to Los Angeles to avoid the higher taxes in the UK, but he recently bought another home outside London and plans to raise his two young sons with Penny Lancaster in both countries.

TAYLOR SWIFT: NO GRAMMYS, BUT STILL A WINNER

AG060209_02taylorcut

Online haters seem to pick on Taylor Swift every chance they get, and we can’t figure out why. She’s got looks, talent, style, good manners, and phenomenal success. She’s not crass or vulgar, doesn’t badmouth people, and keeps her clothes on. In other words, she doesn’t embarrass her parents. So why is she a target for so many negative comments? By the way, we loved Taylor’s excitement because Madonna said nice things about her and her thrill at actually meeting her idol.
