ELLEN DEGENERES AND HER HOT PROM DATE

#ellendegeneres #janetcharlton

You can’t help but love this photo of Ellen Degeneres at her high school prom in all her 70’s glory. That plaid dress might look a bit Amish if it wasn’t provocatively unbuttoned. The most telling feature of this photo is the fact that her date is SO good looking. She must have been really popular to land such a handsome guy. He somewhat resembles a young Christopher Reeve. We missed it when she recreated the photo on her show a few years ago she wore a replica dress and brought back her date.

BRUCE WILLIS APPRECIATES HIS STUNT DOUBLE

#brucewillis #janetcharlton

Bruce Willis doesn’t insist on doing all his stunts these days so he has a stunt double with a shaved head just like his, ready to tackle the violent scenes. He’s in Paris filming Red 2 with Catherine Zeta Jones and John Malkovich. Bruce didn’t need his double to fill in for a scene where he chased a guy on a motorcycle because the bike was actually on a dolly and not moving very fast.

NO MAKEOVERS NECESSARY FOR KATHY GRIFFIN’S YOUNGER BOYFRIEND

#kathygriffin #janetcharlton

Unlike Jennifer Lopez and Madonna, Kathy Griffin doesn’t have to buy her 18 years younger boyfriend a new wardrobe to make him presentable. Maybe that’s because she found a guy with a real job! Randy Bick works as a marketing manager at the LA Times and was not unfamiliar with the idea of wearing a suit. The pair has been together for almost a year and even survived the heavily publicized “no makeup” hike in which Kathy didn’t look her best. Above, as they leave Katsuya, she does look REALLY happy…

NAOMI WATTS AND THE WOMAN SHE PORTRAYS IN “THE IMPOSSIBLE”

#naomiwatts #theimpossible #janetcharlton

Back in August we showed you the trailer for the potentially heartbreaking movie “The Impossible” (CLICK HERE to see it again -and keep some Kleenex nearby) It’s the true story of a family struggling to survive the 2004 tsumani in Thailand starring Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. Naomi looks beautiful at the Madrid premier and she’s pictured with Maria Belon, the REAL survivor that the story was about.(We’re happy to see she’s alive!) The movie has a December 21 release date.

ROMAN POLANSKI’S RAPE VICTIM IS WRITING A BOOK AND IT’S ABOUT TIME

#romanpolanski #janetcharlton

Can’t imagine why it took so long, but the woman who was raped by the loathsome Roman Polanski in 1977 when she was 13 has signed a deal to write a book about the appalling story. Samantha Geimer has publicly “forgiven” Polanski in the past but many people are still appalled by the details of the crime. “Rosemary’s Baby” director Polanski plied an aspiring 13 year old with champagne and quaaludes and raped her at Jack Nicholson’s house. Granted, this happens in Hollywood all too often, but she was THIRTEEN. Polanski was indicted on 6 felony counts and ended up serving only 42 days in prison for “psychiatric observation.” When he was released, he feared further punishment and fled back to France. What was WRONG with the legal system in those days? Who got paid off for all this leniency? Hopefully Samantha and her lawyer, who’s collaborating with her, will point the finger of guilt where it belongs.

ALFRED HITCHCOCK: TWO SIDES OF THE STORY

alfredhitchcock #janetcharlton


Suddenly Alfred Hitchcock, who died in 1980, is SO hot that two movies about him are about to be released. The first one by HBO is called “The Girl” and it airs October 20. This one sounds juicier – it chronicles Hitchcock’s obsession with his star of “The Birds” Tippi Hedren, and her struggle to fight off his advances. English actress Sienna Miller plays Tippi and Toby Jones plays the rather repulsive director. (Top photo)
The second movie, a feature film, is called “Hitchcock” and it documents the struggle the director had getting “Psycho” to the screen. Both films take place in the 60’s. Anthony Hopkins is Hitchcock and Scarlett Johansson is Janet Leigh in this movie, set for release on November 23.

JOHNNY DEPP WOULD LOVE TO STAR IN BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN’S LIFE STORY

#johnnydepp #brucespringsteen #janetcharlton

Rumor has it that Johnny Depp recently approached Bruce Springsteen about starring In a movie about the singer’s life but Bruce turned him down flat. Bruce and Johnny are friendly and have hung out together – including after The Grammys last February, so we’ve been trying to figure out why Bruce, 63, wouldn’t be at least a LITTLE tantalized by the idea. Springsteen’s image as a working-class hero emerging in the early 80’s would certainly be appealing movie material and Johnny IS a frustrated rock star. But maybe Johnny, at 49, is a bit old to play the intense young Bruce. Or maybe Bruce is in no hurry to see his life onscreen. James Franco has also been suggested to play Bruce if indeed a movie biography gets made.

LADY GAGA TURNS POLITICAL AND SYMPATHIZES WITH JULIAN ASSANGE

#julianassange #ladygaga #janetcharlton

When Lady Gaga was at Harrods in London promoting her perfume she may have seen the “Free Assange – no extradition” sign in front of the Ecuador embassy where Julian Assange has found political asylum. The WikiLeaks founder is trapped there because if he leaves he can be arrested and shipped to Sweden where he has been accused of two sex attacks. Assange must be getting bored there because Lady Gaga was invited over and she spent around five hours at the embassy. We wonder if she and Julian were discussing possible methods of smuggling him out. She certainly might be able to provide a disguise. We may never know what they talked about, but we do have a photo that Gaga proudly posted on her site. Note she is dressed like a spy….

REDMOND O’NEAL: IF YOU’RE SMART, YOU’LL STAY AWAY FROM RYAN

#redmondoneal #janetcharlton

Farrah Fawcett’s drug addicted son Redmond, 27, just out of court ordered rehab for approximately the dozenth time and he’s free to go back home – wherever that is. Hopefully it’s nowhere near his father Ryan O’Neal who has been mixed up in his drug escapades in the past. While Redmond was locked up he managed to do a good deed by paying $100,000 for his half-sister Tatum’s rehab. Redmond doesn’t have his mother’s trademark smile – his abused looking teeth more closely resemble those of Charlie Sheen. Drugs.

CAN KRIS JENNER SUCCEED WITHOUT HER DAUGHTERS?

#krisjenner #janetcharlton

Many of our readers seem to have developed a powerful dislike for anything Kardashian– so this will make them gag. According to Deadline.com, Kris Jenner is negotiating with Fox to have her own talk show! (That’s funny – we thought talk show hosts had to be well liked!) Kris has been DYING for her own show and Fox is thinking of giving her a chance this summer with a six week test run. Wendy Williams and Bethenny had successful summer test runs that launched their shows, and Kris figures she can do the same. (Above, Kris and Oprah)
