WHY WE RARELY SEE VIGGO MORTENSEN AROUND ANY MORE

We were particularly fond of Viggo Mortensen in “The Road” and it seems a lot of women are interested in his love life. He’s been pretty much off the market for five years with minimal publicity. That’s because his girlfriend is Spanish actress Ariadna Gil (she appeared with him in “Appaloosa”) and they live mostly in Spain. Viggo, 53,speaks fluent Spanish and he bought a place in Madrid where he spends most of his time with Ariadna and her child. Viggo is careful about choosing his movies because he feels that promoting them around the world is an exhausting and time consuming commitment.

A GOOD IDEA, BUT THEY WON’T CATCH ON IN HOLLYWOOD

We have to give credit to the women who invented these convertible heel shoes, but will they catch on? The idea is totally sensible – you can change the heel height of your shoes (from 1 and 1/2 inches to 3 and 1/2 inches) according to the occasion. Working women won’t have to tote extra pairs of shoes around or keep them in the office. It’s very practical – the sole is flexible so it‘s comfortable with every heel height. The company is brand new and so far only one style is available ($149) and it‘s functional, but lacks the glamour of designer shoes. Do you think these might catch on? We’re betting they hope someone like Louboutin will buy their idea.

JANICE DICKINSON’S DAUGHTER DOESN’T LOVE SHOPPING AS MUCH AS SHE DOES

It’s not easy being Janice Dickinson’s daughter. Janice took Savannah, 17, shopping Beverly Hills and treated her to an expensive Herve Leger dress and a handbag from Furla but Savanna never got as happy as her mother. When Savannah was born, Janice claimed she was fathered by Sylvester Stallone and Sly paid her medical bills. A paternity test eventually revealed that Savannah’s father was someone not so rich and famous.

CHRISTMAS WITH SHANE MACGOWAN

Speaking of Christmas songs, we were reminded by a Facebook friend that our favorite Shane MacGowan and The Pogues along with the late Kirsty McColl, created one of our all time favorites. “Fairytale of New York.” It’s not exactly cheerful but very emotional and touching…

THE WAY WE USED TO SHOP AT CHRISTMAS

Vintage advertising just gets us in the mood for Christmas. Back in 1951 you could get a snazzy shirt for $6.00. Do they still make Van Heusen shirts?

KRIS JENNER BACK IN THE 80’S WHEN SHE WAS A KARDASHIAN

In case you wondered how vacuous Kris Jenner was back in 1985 when she was actually a Kardashian, get a load of this vanity video. Kris Kardashian was happily married to Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney’s indulgent father Robert back then, and he produced this video dedicated to Kris’s dear friends, for her 30th birthday. Many of her friends – even employees at restaurants and shops she liked, participated. She showed it at her birthday party. Among her “friends” you’ll see OJ Simpson and Nicole. It’s a bit like a whirlwind tour of Beverly Hills back in the 80’s….

HARRISON FORD HAS A SURPRISE FOR CALISTA

Every year before Christmas, Harrison Ford turns up at Barneys in Beverly Hills even though he’s a guy who doesn’t particularly like shopping. He’s carrying a tiny bag that most likely contains some special jewelry for Calista Flockhart. At least he has the good taste to shop at Barneys and he picks out something HIMSELF instead of sending someone else to select a gift for her. She has trained him well.

WELCOME BACK NAPOLEAN DYNAMITE!

Napolean Dynamite is now a cartoon. The 2004 cult movie starring Jon Heder is being reanimated by Fox for a January debut. Heder will reprise his leading role in the animated TV version and other cast members including Efren Ramirez (Pedro) will be providing their character’s familiar voices. The movie’s director and writer are also involved in the project. It’s a smart move for Fox – the movie took in 46 million dollars and only cost $400,000 to make.

A WHITE CHRISTMAS WITH BILLY IDOL IS JUST WHAT WE HAD IN MIND

We never imagined we’d be seeing Billy Idol singing “White Christmas” wearing a suit and tie, but here it is. And we love it. He doesn’t even need the black leather, does he? This song is from Billy’s 2006 album Happy Holidays (A Very Special Christmas Album.) Stephen Saban at The WOW Report dug up this video and it brings back all kinds of warm Billy Idol memories… Where has he BEEN?
