The family is very private, so we didn’t realize how fast David Bowie’s 9 year old daughter Alexandria has been growing up! It’s nice to see Lexi out in the West Village with her mom Iman (AKA Mrs David Jones.) Lexi has a beautiful model for a mother and a legendary rockstar for a dad – her possibilities seem unlimited.
We never thought about how SHORT Al Pacino is until we saw him standing next to a parking meter! His 8 year old son Anton will soon be catching up to him. Anton and his twin sister Olivia are Al’s kids with his former girlfriend Beverly D’Angelo of Entourage. Al recently finished filming “You Don’t Know Jack” – the life story of assisted suicide advocate Jack Kevorkian for HBO, and we can’t wait to see it.

Last week, “Desperate Housewives” star Teri Hatcher was rumored to have swine flu but it turned out to be simply laryngitis. She’s obviously recovered because this week she took her twelve year old daughter Emerson shopping at The Grove. It seems like only yesterday that Teri and Emerson spent a day at the Grove’s American Girl store playing with dolls. But that was two years ago and Emerson has other thing son her mind now. Like fashion.
If you’ve been looking forward to seeing the movie “Precious,” you might be surprised to learn that MANY moviegoers have been waiting for this one to open. It’s surprising, considering the subject matter – the story of an obese, illiterate, teenage girl struggling in Harlem to survive under unbearable conditions. It’s not pretty, but the brilliant director Lee Daniels successfully adds humor and fantasy to the desperate story, plus, and most important, hope. It’s a heartbreaking but life affirming movie that illustrates the world is not ALL bad. And one can always improve one’s circumstances. Every character is well cast and the story will pull you right in. Robin Thicke’s wife Paula Patton is a great discovery as a caring teacher. This is a very special movie. Bring some kleenex when you see it.

Four year old Willy the polar bear lives in a zoo in North Carolina and apparently he’d been showing signs of melancholy. To cheer him up, the zoo surprised him with 5000 pounds of ice cubes and he almost exploded with happiness. Willy wallowed and rolled and nuzzled and licked the ice and seemed to be in complete ecstasy. Until it melted. It reminds us that he would probably be happier back at his arctic habitat.
Is this a picture perfect family or what? Halle Berry pulled the luggage while Gabriel Aubry carried their daughter Nahla through LAX when they arrived from New York. Approximately four years ago (around the time she met Gabriel,) Halle said that she wanted a baby, but she vowed that after two failures, she’d “never marry again.” Let’s see if she sticks to her guns.

We were RIGHT when we told you that Rihanna would go back to her abusive boyfriend Chris Brown after he beat her up. Chris was her first big love and she had a terrible time getting over him. Now Rihanna has confessed that she DID reunite with Chris, but eventually put love aside and came to her senses. She couldn’t bear to talk about the incident until now because she was still in love with Chris. We give Rihanna a lot of credit – both for confessing and for leaving Chris for good. We only hope she doesn’t change her mind. Since legally Chris is restrained from going anywhere near her, maybe she’ll have time to fall for someone else.
Two years ago, Tyra Banks was photographed looking hefty in a bathing suit and on her show she defiantly told the world to “kiss my fat ass!” Well, it’s not so fat any more. Chubby fans might not be pleased to know that Tyra has pared off 30 pounds since that dramatic day and she’s very pleased with herself. Tyra is looking very natural in this recent photo of her in the East Village – with no apparent make up and what looks like her own hair.

We appreciate Joey Fatone laughing at himself with this t-shirt. Sure, he’d like to have an ‘Nsync reunion after seven years of separation, but ALL the members must agree, and that can take time. Before this photo was taken, Joey was in the audience at “Dancing with the Stars.” ABC is polling viewers about who they’d like to see return to DWTS and Joey is one of the favorites, along with Drew Lachey and Mel B.
Hold onto your lunch, we just heard that Spencer Pratt wants to go from “The Hills” to a motivational speaking career! An insider has leaked that Spencer is in talks with The Learning Annex to participate in a series of lectures where he’ll share his secrets about “how to become rich and famous.” If things work out, he’d eventually love to travel around the country and appear with other speakers at paid self improvement seminars. We’re flabbergasted.
