JERSEY SHORE: THE CANCELATION WAS OVERDUE

#jerseyshore #janetcharlton

Let’s face it, Jersey Shore should have ended at least two years ago. We happened to like the show, but it has been forced and awkward for the last few seasons. Youthful exuberance and endless partying makes sense for eighteen to twenty three year olds (the spring break crowd) but after that age, life takes over and parents are no longer supporting their kids. After the first few seasons, the Jersey Shore cast was so famous they needed bodyguards to hold back fans and they could no longer interact with strangers at clubs with resulting shenanigans. The show REALLY jumped the shark when The Situation went to rehab and gave up drinking and Snooki got pregnant. Personally, we would like to have seen the gang visit a far-away place like Japan or Malaysia each season and experience the culture shock.

SLASH’S EXPERIENCE WITH DAVID BOWIE BRINGS BACK MEMORIES

Recently Slash of Guns N Roses talked about catching his mother naked with David Bowie. It brought back memories because his late mother Ola Hudson used to be a customer in the store called The Garment District that we owned on Sunset Strip in the early 70’s. Ola was a delightful and fashionable black woman with distinct “rich-hippie” style. She was very connected and made clothes for rock stars and shopped for them as well. Often Ola brought her cute little boy Saul (Slash) along. She dressed David Bowie for some of his most important tours and evidently they had an affair. It all makes sense. David always appreciated smart black women. Back in those days, David was rather pan-sexual and seemed to like both sexes. Later he admitted her preferred the company of women. One thing we DO remember- Slash had a really nice mother.

GOSSIP GIRL’S BLAKE LIVELY AND PENN BADGLEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT TOGETHER

#blakelively #pennbadgley #janetcharlton

The cast of Gossip Girl is getting sentimental since they all went back to work on their 6th and final season of the show. The actors are excited about moving on to new projects, but somewhat sad about leaving their friends on the show. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley (above) got romantic off screen during the course of the series and ended up dating for three years until 2010. Both have moved on to movies and new partners. Blake is happily living with Ryan Reynolds and Penn was last seen with Zoe Kravitz.

EDDIE MURPHY’S COMING BACK TO TV WITH A BADGE

Aside from Shrek, Eddie Murphy’s movie career has been lukewarm and he’s turning back to TV and his old stand-by “Beverly Hills Cop.” Eddie’s role as Axel Foley in the movie made him a big movie star. Now Eddie and the creator of “The Shield,” Shawn Ryan, have a TV series based on Beverly Hills Cop that they are pitching to various networks. In the series Eddie would play the chief of police and his “son,“ a new cop on the force, would be the real star. Eddie would only make occasional appearances. We’re guessing one of the networks will snap this up in a hurry.

LINDSAY LOHAN EVEN STEALS FROM HER “FRIENDS”

#lindsaylohan #janetcharlton

There’s more to this Lindsay Lohan $100,000 jewelry heist than meets the eye. You’ll recall Lindsay was at an all night party at the house of a rich guy named Sam Magid when the host noticed jewelry and electronics missing from his house. He called the cops and named Lindsay and her posse as suspects. Later he changed his mind and decided not to pursue the matter. And we hear it’s not the first time he suspected Lindsay of stealing from his house. This guy Sam Magid is a wealthy but not particularly compelling person who’s desperate to be in the “In Crowd” in Hollywood. He throws lavish parties, hoping to make friends with celebrities and buy his way into their good graces. He considers Lindsay a big star and she introduces him to people. So he DOESN’T want to jeopardize his social connection Lindsay by getting her locked up in jail! Obviously she takes advantage of him. Insiders believe that Lindsay helped her friends jack the merchandise from Sam’s house, knowing he wouldn’t pursue the matter. What a bunch of pathetic people.

WHY ZACH BRAFF HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE

Writer/director Zach Braff, 37, who also starred on Scrubs, looks mighty pleased to have a tall blonde model on his arm at the US Open tennis matches in Queens. She’s his girlfriend, Abercrombie & Fitch model Taylor Bagley and they’ve been together for three years. Clever Zach is s working on a few independent films and we have a feeling she might end up with a part.

DID YOU KNOW PAUL NEWMAN WAS A DECORATED WWII SAILOR?

#paulnewman #janetcharlton

Some things never go out of style – like Paul Newman’s FACE! The WOW Report dug up these photos of the actor when he was only 18 and in the US Navy. He aspired to becoming a pilot but those luscious lue eyes were unfortunately color blind so he ended up as a gunner. We all know what happened when he got out of the service. This glorious actor died in 2008 but the food company he left behind is still pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into his favorite charities.

TYRA BANKS WANTS YOU TO THINK SHE GOT A DEGREE FROM HARVARD!

#tyrabanks #janetcharlton

We’ve been increasingly suspicious about Tyra Banks’ claims that she recently graduated from Harvard Business School. Since she never got a bachelor’s degree from any college, how did she get into Harvard to pursue an MBA? Turns out, she didn’t. Jezebel exposed her exaggeration. Actually Tyra didn’t get a diploma- she got a certificate of completion for finishing a nine week non-degree EXTENSION business course which has NO requirements for formal education and does not count toward any type of degree. An MBA takes qualification and two years of studying. Tyra IS smart, but she didn’t graduate from Harvard.

HONEY BOO BOO: HERE COMES YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

The phenomenon of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” has become inescapable so we just HAD to watch the TLC reality series. Needless to say, it is profoundly disturbing. Many people who live on the East and West coasts snobbishly think this series is representative of the rural culture of the Southern states in America and this show will do nothing to dissuade them. This particular “Deliverance” inspired hillbilly family tries to show how happy-go-lucky they are in spite of having limited assets. The really scary thing about this family is the profound and aggressive ignorance and total lack of desire for self improvement. No education and no ambition. There’s no job-hunting going on here. Pregnant teenagers. Disdain for manners. Obesity while gobbling junk food. Lack of cleanliness and parental guidance. Horrifying enough to make anyone watching feel evolved and fortunate. Worst of all, we HATE the idea of viewers around the world forming opinions about Americans based on this show!

JASON SEGAL AND MICHELLE WILLIAMS: BICOASTAL ROMANCE

They’re inseparable in both New York and Los Angeles. Michelle Williams and Jason Segal picked up Matilda at school and took her out for organic ice cream in Studio City. The threesome spent much of the summer together in New York. “How I Met Your Mother” star Jason has never looked better – he looks healthier and doesn’t dress so much like a sloppy bachelor any more.
