THE NEW POWER COUPLE: KOBE BRYANT AND KIM KARDASHIAN

We had NO IDEA how involved the Kardashians were in the Kobe Bryant divorce! Kris Jenner has been schmoozing up all the Laker wives since she became a fixture at the games. When Kris heard that there were rumors of Lamar Odom being traded awhile back she was outraged because she knew her son-in-law didn’t want to go. (Lamar was almost in tears.) Kris hoped Kobe would make sure it didn’t happen, but he didn’t get involved and Lamer WAS traded – to Kris’s extreme disappointment. Maybe this motivated Kris to tell Vanessa about her husband’s cheating. We don’t know for sure. But we DO know as soon as the divorce was announced, Kim let it be known that she wanted to be fixed up with Kobe and he LOVES the idea! So Kim and Kobe (who is notorious for his generosity to women) are free to date each other! And Kim might end up having babies that grow up to be 7 feet tall!

KANYE WEST HAD A CLOSE CALL WITH A BUSINESS CARD

Prickly Kanye West lost the holiday spirit when he had a tantrum onstage in Tacoma, Washington and threatened to kick out a whole section of the audience. Someone had the nerve to throw a business card onstage and Kanye stopped the music, picked it up, and said “Whose card is this? We risking our LIVES up here! You can’t go throwing shit that we gonna slip on!! I see it come from that direction – unless one person raises their hand and says ‘I did it’- all that section gotta go!”! The guilty party finally confessed and was tossed out and Kanye managed to finish the show without falling down.

THE UNLIKEABLE SEAN PENN HAS MADE A LIKEABLE MOVIE

Okay, so we’re not huge fans of Sean Penn, but sometimes we really like his work and the trailer for his new movie “This Must Be The Place “ has tickled our fancy. Penn plays an aging wealthy goth rockstar (think Robert Smith) ) living a boring life in Dublin until his estranged father dies back in America. He hasn’t seen his father in 30 years but the rocker flies to the USA to settle the estate, and he learns his father was tormented by an SS officer during the holocaust and the Nazi might still be alive in America. He sets out to find him and has many adventures in the process. Why are the plots of independent films so much more interesting than blockbusters?

NICOLE KIDMAN AND KEITH URBAN LOOK LIKE A COUPLE OF KIDS

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are super low-key – they look like two ordinary West Village kids going out to a movie. But they happen to be two of the biggest stars in the world. The dead giveaway to their identity is Nicole’s expensive handbag. They do look happy, though.

KOBE BRYANT’S TEEN BRIDE VANESSA FINALLY GREW UP


Men have been telling us WHY they think Kobe Bryant has been cheating on his wife Vanessa. Sometimes we seek a male opinion. More than one Kobe fan thinks that Kobe fell in love with a beautiful 17 year old Laker Girl (top photo) and impulsively married her against everyone’s advice. (His own family was totally against the marriage.) Teenage Vanessa seemed sweet, but had barely developed a personality yet. It was only after they wed that she matured and had two children. She didn’t look or act the same and Kobe realized she simply WASN’T the obedient little girl he married. Instead of trying to make the best of his situation, Kobe distracted himself with infidelity. That’s what happens when a wealthy powerful guy marries a teenager…she GROWS UP!

CAN ROONEY MARA SAVE “THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO?”

Much will be made of Rooney Mara’s performance in “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” because it’s the best thing about the movie. Her Lisbeth Salander character is one of the most unique and memorable female characters in recent literature and readers- especially women – are fascinated by her. Rooney didn’t deviate from the book. But the script adaptation for the book is a huge disappointment. Viewers who didn’t read the book are doomed to two and a half hours of confusion. The complex story needed simplification for the big screen and the result is exasperating. It’s a glossy, well made, quality film that is far too difficult for most people to follow. Blame the script writer.

IT’S AN ARROGANT CHRISTMAS FOR THE KARDASHIANS

We cannot allow the Kardashian Christmas card to pass by without comment. Have you ever seen a colder, icier, more somber family greeting? Could they take themselves MORE seriously? It’s a blue Christmas for this family in spite of the fact that they ALL look exceedingly slim. Naturally that brings up the subject of photoshopping. WHO do you think had the most retouching done? We vote for Khloe and Kim with Kris coming in third. Although Kourtney does look like she had a body-swap with Kim.

HOW GEORGE CLOONEY KEEPS AN EYE ON STACY KEIBLER WHEN HE’S NOT AROUND

Stacy Keibler got the ultimate Hollywood gift from George Clooney: a bodyguard. Since she started dating George she‘s gained considerable notoriety, and the paparazzi and others are following her. George decided she should not go out alone when he’s not around, so he hired a bodyguard to keep an eye on her. (We wonder if the bodyguard reports her comings and goings to George!)

WOULD IT KILL JASON STATHAM TO LOOK HAPPY, JUST ONCE?

Jason is taking his macho image a bit too seriously. He walks around scowling even though he’s living the life every man dreams of. He has a beautiful girlfriend – model/actress Rosie Huntington Whiteley – on his arm, and his movie “The Expendables” is about to be released. He’s in New York for the holidays – does life get any better?
