The countdown begins. A lot of people are eagerly anticipating the release of “The Runaways” next year. This was a revolutionary jailbait band in the drugged up 70’s – all the girls were 16 and under. Kristen Stewart is playing Joan Jett and she’s already drawn a lot of attention to the movie. The story is based on the book by bandmember Cherie Currie called “Neon Angel.” The photo above features the real Cherie Currie, who just turned 50, on her right is Dakota Fanning who plays Cherie in the movie and on her left is Riley Keough, who plays her sister Marie Currie.

We didn’t know Steven Seagal still had it in him to BREAK RECORDS at A&E with his new series “Steven Seagal, Lawman.” First of all, you have to believe that Seagal has been quietly working as a deputy at the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana for the past twenty years and these are his real life adventures. And all this time we thought he was just an actor! Anyway, Seagal’s cop show debuted as the most watched original series ever launched on A&E with 3.5 million viewers! He still takes himself very seriously and he’s put on a few pounds, but Seagal proved he has what it takes, and viewers love him again.

VALERIE BERTINELLI FOUND THE PERFECT MAN TO EAT WITH

It’s been five years, and through thick and thin, Valerie Bertinelli and her boyfriend Tom Vitale are still together. When she joined Jenny Craig and lost weight, Tom did too, so they stayed on the same wave length. Recently they went out to dinner at Osteria Mozza where they enjoyed dinner but were careful about what they consumed. Outside while they were waiting for their car, the couple was seen hugging and smooching like teenagers in the alley.

Here’s the cast of “Nine” at the London premier (Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Director Rob Marshall, Penelope Cruz, and Kate Hudson.) The women all look awesome, but do we really need an excuse to publish another photo of Daniel Day- Lewis? We always select full length pictures of Daniel because his deliciously foppish wardrobe is dependably noteworthy. We’re crazy about those high rise pin stripe pants and the velvet jacket with pagoda shoulders. He doesn’t disappoint.

GLORIA ALLRED: WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN MYSELF INTO?

rachel-uchitel-photos-pictures-with-gloria-allred-lax-attorney-national-enquirer

Gloria Allred MUST be having second thoughts about getting involved with Rachel Uchitel. Rachel denied the National Enquirer story linking her with Tiger Woods but she’s been caught in a number of lies. Rachel said she didn’t even KNOW the source who sold the story to the Enquirer, and the tabloid promptly produced photos of Rachel partying with the source. Radaronline.com has found out that Tiger booked and paid for Rachel’s trip to Australia where she denies they had a tryst. Gloria must be looking askance at her client and we wonder how she will get out of this gracefully.

RUPERT EVERETT WARNS GAY ACTORS TO STAY IN THE CLOSET

bestfriendswedcut

Just when we thought we’d made some progress in this town, English actor Rupert Everett has announced that gay actors should NOT “come out” in Hollywood because it will end their careers. Rupert, 50, made a big splash in “Dance With A Stranger” with Miranda Richardson in 1985 and came out as gay in 1989. He says that since then, he’s had no leads in movies – only supporting roles. Rupert insists “You cannot be a 25 year old homosexual and make it in the film business anywhere.” Everett went on to play supporting roles as “gay best friend” to Madonna in “The Next Best Thing” and Julia Roberts in “My Best Friend’s Wedding” (above photo.) Rupert admits he’s probably happier than closeted actors, but not as successful.

Her parents are both huge celebrities, but Violet Affleck ,4, might be headed for public school. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck could easily afford to send her to the most expensive private school in LA, but they’ve decided to enroll her in public school in Brentwood when she starts kindergarten. They want Violet to have a normal life and not turn into a Hollywood brat. One of the reasons they chose to live in Brentwood is the fact that the area has a great public school. Above, Jennifer brought 9 month old Seraphina along to pick up Violet at pre-school.

Taylor Momsen just keeps getting cuter – and TALLER! It seems like this 16 year old is flaunting the coolest outfits on “Gossip Girl.” Her hair cut in the Joan Jett shag last summer was better than these extensions, but she has to do what the show’s producers tell her to do.

Few people realize that Morgan Freeman suffered long-term impairment to his left hand in that car accident in 2008. Nerve damage left the hand paralyzed and he continues to have physical therapy and must wear a special glove to keep the hand stable. How this problem is disguised in his movies remains to be seen. He’s in New York promoting “Invictus” in which he plays Nelson Mandela.
