They’re baaack! At least Victoria Beckham and the boys – Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, are back in Los Angeles. (Victoria seems to be letting her hair grow.) She took the kids out for a treat at the new hot spot – Yogurtland. The boys got large yogurt creations but Victoria didn’t partake.

Hey, we thought Latoya Jackson was the one who told the truth – until we heard this goofy story: According to the UK Telegraph, La Toya insists that Michael Jackson’s son Prince, 12, inherited the skin disease vitiligo from his father! Certainly, LaToya knows that Michael did not biologically father his children. Does she hope that this will convince US that Michael was a normal father? Those kids no idea WHAT they might inherit from their father, because they’ll probably never find out who the sperm donor was.
Rob Pattinson’s arrival and departure at The David Letterman Show caused a huge uproar on 53rd Street. Frenzied fans and sobbing women had to be corralled behind blockades but they busted loose and police closed down the whole block. Through it all Rob kept a pleasant look on his face and attempted to acknowledge and sign for as many people as possible. He has a good attitude toward his fans. It IS odd that People didn’t choose Rob as Sexiest Man Alive considering what he does to women.
Monaco National Day brings out the royals and we were pleased to see Princess Caroline, 52, and her sister Stephanie, 44, on a balcony watching festivities. Back in the 80’s, these wild and beautiful daughters of Grace Kelly were insanely popular and stalked by paparazzi. Together they had five marriages and seven children. (Stephanie refused to name the father of her youngest child.) At one point Stephanie moved to Los Angeles to become a pop star and she recorded a song “In The Closet” with Michael Jackson for his “Dangerous” album. She used the alias “Mystery Girl.” Both are now split from their husbands and the sisters seem closer than ever.
You’d never guess by this photo that Brad Pitt was voted “Sexiest Man Alive “ in both 1995 and 2000. While Angelina contemplated the adoption of a Muslim baby, Brad arrived at the Nice airport. We never thought we’d say this, but if we saw this Brad walking on a sidewalk, toward us, on a dark night, we would CROSS THE STREET. Still, we haven’t forgotten that under the grey beard, he IS a good guy.
We hear that the three month Labelle Reunion Tour narrowly avoided becoming a fiasco like Diana Ross and the Supremes suffered. The Supremes reunion never got off the ground – partly because Diana had elaborate costumes and Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong didn’t, and also due to a very large difference in paychecks. Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendrix, and Sarah Dash all had extravagant costumes and money wasn’t an issue. It seems the other two girls occasionally forgot who leader of the group was, and Patti didn’t hesitate to remind them. Patti did all the talking onstage, and she saw all the backstage visitors first. There were a few clashes, but the gals made it through the successful tour and fans were oblivious. According to an insider, the girls aren’t exactly buddy buddy, but they’re still speaking, and the tour ended JUST IN TIME.
Two years later, Brittany Murphy’s unexpected marriage to screenwriter Simon Monjack is still going strong. Considering the fact that Brittany, 32, dated Ashton Kutcher before she hooked up with Simon, he IS an odd choice. We’re guessing Brittany is the breadwinner here since the last project Simon seems to have worked on was the not-so successful “Factory Girl.”

Christina Aguilera is very excited about making her first movie “Burlesque” in which she plays a small town girl (above in white high heels) with an amazing voice who comes to LA and gets a job in a modern burlesque club. The club owner, played by Cher, takes her under her wing, and there’s a reason that it sounds like a replay of The Pussycat Dolls. The movie’s writer/director is Steve Antin who is executive producer of The Dolls, and his sister Robin Antin is choreographer. We’re betting that Jonathan Antin will do the hair. Christina actually made guest appearances with the Dolls, early on, but can she ACT?
Above are just a few reasons why People magazine got it RIGHT for a change when they re-anointed Johnny Depp as “Sexiest Man Alive.” Actually, he should be getting a Lifetime Achievement Award. Is there a woman or gay man alive who doesn’t harbor a little crush on him? Johnny continues to select off-beat roles – this year watch for him as The Mad Hatter in “Alice in Wonderland” and a 1950’s broken down journalist in “The Rum Diary.” He’s grown up and has a family, but he’s still our Johnny, and a national treasure.
Khloe Kardashian has not endeared herself to the other Laker wives. When she arrived for her first game as Mrs Lamar Odom she was appalled when she wasn’t assigned courtside seats. She had to be calmed down and informed that NONE of the players families have courtside seats- they are taken by celebrities and millionaires. Khloe’s mother Chris is her “manager” and every time she wants something she can be heard ordering Chris around. When Khloe noticed that Vanessa Bryant had several bodyguards who even accompanied her to the bathroom, she could be heard screaming at Chris “Why don’t I have bodyguards!” Khloe doesn’t understand the game or the pecking order of the wives. (Kobe Bryant is a VERY valuable player.) Other wives have been looking askance at Khloe, and haven’t welcomed her into their circle.
