CHER: FROM BURLESQUE TO TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES

Cher told The New York Times that her good friend David Geffen urged her to do the movie Burlesque so if it’s a flop she has someone to blame, and if it’s a hit she has someone to thank. It’s her first movie in seven years (except for a voice in an animated movie “The Zookeeper”) and she doesn’t have any more planned. After she finishes in Las Vegas in February she’s may have another “farewell” tour, but she’s oddly excited about a TV job. Early next year she will appear on Turner Classic Movies to introduce and discuss her favorite movies!

ELVIS: IS JENNIFER GREY A TIME TRAVELER?

We never get tired of looking at old photos of young Elvis and this one is particularly noteworthy. It’s from photographer Alfred Wertheimer’s collection of photos taken in 1956 when Elvis was 21. According to Alfred, this photo was taken as Elvis arrived to appear on The Steve Allen Comedy Show and a fan from Long Island greeted him. HELL0 – is that fan not a dead ringer for Jennifer Grey? – in character for her movie “Dirty Dancing,” of course.

WHO KILLED RONNI CHASEN?

This has been the number one subject in Hollywood this week, and five days after the murder we still don’t know much. From day one, the police suspected it was a deliberate hit instead of a random act, and nothing they’ve discovered has changed that assumption. But why wouldn’t an assassin TRY to cover up the motive and make it LOOK like a robbery? The Beverly Hills police are scrutinizing the videos they picked up from sources near the killing, but they’re dead silent. It’s interesting that the BH police have refused help offered from other agencies and insist they will solve the crime themselves. (Granted, they don’t get many opportunities to solve crimes in that town.) Everybody assumes there’s a juicy story behind this murder – involving big money, ego, sex, who knows WHAT. Did Ronni harbor a piece of volatile information? TMZ seems to have dropped the ball on this one – with all their legal connections, we’d expect SOMETHING. The New York Post says Ronni told a friend last year that she thought someone was “following her.” Do any of you readers have a story about Ronni you want to share, or a theory, or actual information?

CHER WAS UPSTAGED BY CHILEAN MINERS

It was quite a ceremony- fans gathered on Hollywood Boulevard as Cher got her handprints in the much desired cement outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater. She installed her hand and footprints not far from Clark Gable’s, and sprinkled her wet cement with a poof of gold dust for added character. Just then, a double decker tour bus drove by and WHO happened to be on the top level but the 33 Chilean miners! Upon seeing Cher, they screamed and hollered and disrupted the event when all attention turned to them. Cher got a kick out of them and the only drawback to the occasion was the fact that Cher’s dress was so short her blue underwear was frequently visible.

JENNIFER ANISTON CAN DO NO WRONG

Despite a string of tedious romantic comedies that weren’t all that funny, Jennifer Aniston emerged unscathed as usual. She has three movies coming out next year and is currently putting the finishing touches on “Wanderlust” with Malin Akerman and Paul Rudd in New York. Her luxurious hair is blonde for this one – if it’s any consolation, Jen DOES have extensions when she does a movie or photoshoot.

PAMELA ANDERSON WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY

Pamela Anderson has bills to pay so she doesn’t turn down many job offers. She paid a surprise visit to the Indian version of the reality TV show Big Brother – called “Bigg Boss.” Pam is a huge star in India thanks to Baywatch and the housemates and viewers were thrilled to have her. Pam’s never been to India and hoped to see more than just the Bigg Boss house in Mumbai while she’s there. She’s pictured above arriving and introducing herself to housemates (that big guy must be a wrestler or something.) In another scene she’s sunbathing on what looks like artificial grass- you knew a swim suit had to be part of the deal.

GOSSIP GIRL’S BLAKE LIVELY: MONEY IS NO OBJECT

“Gossip Girl’s” Blake Lively looks like a million bucks in New York on her way to a ceremony to unveil the star on the top of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. We’re guessing the Gossip Girl stylists put her expensive look together because she always looks best when they do. Producers want all eyes upon her when she’s representing the show.

JIMMY FALLON AND BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WHIP THEIR HAIR

This video has a lot going for it. First of all, Jimmy Fallon imitating Neil Young singing Willow Smith’s song “Whip My Hair” is delicious. Then Bruce Springsteen joins Jimmy and it only gets better. Willow must be thrilled.

KATE MIDDLETON IS NOW A HOT COMMODITY

The more we see of Prince William’s fiancee Kate Middleton, the more impressed we are. She appears to be a great natural beauty with a model’s figure. Even her hair seems to be all hers. Designers everywhere are salivating at the prospect of having her wear their creations. Given her royal future, Kate will have to give up her fishnets, sequins, and baseball caps. We were particularly amused to learn that the Queen officially announced the couples modern engagement on Facebook and the royal Twitter site.
