Jude Law And his cute son Rafferty,13, were spotted in New York where Jude is appearing very successfully in “Hamlet” on Broadway. Jude’s three children with Sadie Frost have been visiting dad from London and Jude spends his days before he reports to the theater, taking the kids around the city to see the sights.
Rod Stewart can completely disappear when he walks behind his statuesque wife Penny in Beverly Hills. When he steps away, we can appreciate his style. Lots of celebrities (including Rod’s wife) go to Beverly Hills in their casual sweats but Rod is dressed up in a brown plaid suit and he RULES! It’s refreshing to see a man without a baseball cap!
When “Crash” director Paul Haggis defected from Scientology recently it stimulated a well-deserved tornado of publicity, and the story went everywhere. But for some reason, when The Hollywood Reporter’s Roger Friedman wrote about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s contributions to Scientology last year, it didn’t get a lot of attention. Remember, Will Smith vehemently DENIED being a Scientologist, but he donated $80,000 to Scientology groups in 2008 according to tax filing. Jada Pinkett Smith, who donated $122,000, DOESN’T deny being a Scientologist, and is outraged by criticism of the cult. Jada said in a 2008 interview “You have people who are attacking and want to fight. And don’t know nothing. How you gonna not know nothing about Scientology and attack somebody? It’s dangerous and it’s ignorant. And as an American I’m not gonna be a part of that.”
We’re still confused by the Star Magazine cover story “NICOLE & JOEL MARRIED!” Star had Nicole Richie and Joel Madden married last June also, but it didn’t pan out. This time Star had many details about their private online wedding ceremony on October 14 conducted by, of all people, Reverend Moon. The magazine also wrote about Nicole’s father Lionel bragging about the wedding and the couple’s friends congratulating them. But Nicole and Joel have called the story ridiculous and insist they are NOT married. Star jumped the gun yet again.
Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen work hard for the money. The girls have yet another clothing line – this is an affordable sporty collection called Olsenboye – aimed at teens for JC Penny. They’re promoting the new line in a pink ice cream truck that’s parked in a different NYC neighborhood every day. Clothes are both shown and sold from the truck and the money goes to charity. Cute idea. We hope to see the truck on Robertson Blvd.
Attention seeking Paris Hilton took a walk on Robertson Blvd and visited Kitson but she just didn’t get ENOUGH attention. Where were all the paparazzi? Of course, they were at the Pumpkin Patch in Beverly Hills looking for stars with their kids. Paris high-tailed it over there and seemed to be the only adult on the premises without a child. She didn’t let that stop her from smiling for the camera.
Jessica Simpson is currently shooting her VH-1 series “The Price of Beauty” in India and she’s indulging in the local customs by wearing a bindi dot on her forehead and henna tattoos on her hands. Jessica is determined to make her new show a hit and she’s invited an unexpected celebrity to make a guest appearance on the show: her ex-husband Nick Lachey! Jessica and Nick haven’t made any appearances together since their divorce in 2006. Jessica is appealing to Nick to appear on just one episode and he feels bad about the dog Daisy that he gave her being killed, so he might say yes.

We’re betting Don Johnson can walk around pretty much unrecognized with this gray beard and hat. His best assets are covered up. Don might be coming into a lot of money this spring when he takes the production company of his series “Nash Bridges” to court. He claims they owe him 150 million dollars. Meanwhile, he’s making movies – among them, “Born to be a Star “ in which he plays a pornographer.
Courteney Cox is all smiles now that she’s promoting her new series, and isn’t it a SHAME that she’s not that nice all the time. When she’s not promoting some sort of enterprise, Courteney thinks nothing of snubbing fans and she’s downright hostile to photographers. She’s quite the opposite of her friend Jennifer Aniston, who seems to be pleasant and polite all the time.
