Just kidding. Although it COULD happen. What would her famous parents, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck think? But Violet really is a child of Hollywood. While she and her mom were walking in Santa Monica, she pulled out her pink camera and snapped photos of the paparazzi snapping her. And she really seemed to like it.

We have to admit we were relieved to hear that Mickey Rourke, 57, is NOT engaged to marry his young Russian girlfriend Elena Kuletskaya. They did look awfully domestic when they picked out a dog together. Mickey’s spokesperson said the entire “engagement” story printed in the New York Post was NOT true and, in fact, Mickey’s girlfriend’s name is Ana Makarenko. We can’t tell the difference between the two lanky blonde models and we wonder how Mickey got tangled up with them. (Presumably that is Ana, above) Marrying a Russian model around 35 years younger may SOUND like a good idea, but it isn’t, Mickey.

On December 10, Victoria Beckham arrived at the George V Hotel in Paris, looking fabulous in a leather trenchcoat and fedora. That same day, her husband David Beckham arrived at LAX wearing this exceptional plaid coat. These two fashionistas really ARE made for each other.

Former “Prison Break” actor Lane Garrison really got lucky when the Sandra Bullock movie “The Blind Side “ became a hit. Lane hopes to become a producer and his first project is “One Heart” – the true story of a football team made up of Texas kids convicted of crimes. It’s an inspiring story and a subject Lane knows a lot about – he’s played football AND he just got out of jail in April after being convicted of DUI manslaughter, The success of “The Blind Side” made Lane’s idea an easier sell and he’s made a deal and he’s almost finished writing the script.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel have one thing to be grateful for: Tiger Woods. Josh’s indiscretion with a stripper was left behind in the dust when the Tiger scandal started to unravel. Fergie and Josh were obviously able to settle their problems out of the public eye, since the press abruptly turned their focus on Tiger. Not to mention the fact that Tiger’s transgressions make Josh’s misbehavior seem tame by comparison.

Jennifer Lopez got all dressed up to go shopping on Robertson Boulevard for mother and daughter dresses for herself and her almost-two year old Emme. First she looked at mostly black dresses for Emme and then she checked out similar black dresses in HER size. Maybe they’re going to a cocktail party – or a funeral – together.

We never thought we’d see the three lesser known Jackson brothers mobbed for autographs, but that’s what happened in Hollywood. Marlon (with the mustache) Tito (with the derby) and Jackie (with the vest) were thrilled by all the attention. It’s amazing what Michael Jackson’s death did to boost their notoriety. And it’s interesting to note which of the brothers resisted plastic surgery and which did not.
As the Tiger toll climbs to ten women claiming affairs as of today, it’s starting to look like infidelity isn’t his only problem. Suddenly Tiger’s possible ingestion of drugs and/or alcohol is under scrutiny. His own wife admitted he had taken Ambien and Vicodin and had drinks earlier on the day of the accident. One of Tiger’s girlfriends happens to work in a marijuana clinic. He paid Rachel Uchitel millions not to talk about SOMETHING. Considering Tiger’s penchant for hot nightclubs and hotter women, can drugs NOT be in the picture? This story still has a long way to go.
In 1972, Playboy had it’s highest circulation EVER – 7 million. It’s been downhill since then, (for MOST magazines) and Playboy is up for sale for 300 million. Hugh Hefner’s life hasn’t changed a lot – his previous three blonde “Girls Next Door” have been replaced by younger girls. (Above, Hef and his main girlfriend Crystal Harris plus the mischievous Shannon twins.) But the party attitude HAS evolved. Nowadays the mansion is more of a venue – rented out for events and parties. And there have been cutbacks on the weekly “movie night” – there is no longer a free buffet dinner for the fifty or sixty guests! What will all those hungry moochers DO?
Wherever you are, don’t let “An Education” slip out of town before you get a chance to see it. You probably already know that it’s about a smart teenage girl in early 60’s suburban London who’s headed for Oxford until she gets a taste of the high life by dating an older man. (It stars Carey Mulligan – Shia LeBeouf’s new girlfriend) It all takes place right before the Beatles and Mary Quant changed that city forever. This is just a great story that pulls you right in, and the characters grow more interesting in every scene. An Oscar contender – it’s a satisfying movie – like eating a great meal.
