ROMAN POLANSKI: TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC

polanski460[1]“Rosemary’s Baby” as much as anyone, but that doesn’t affect our judgment of director Roman Polanski’s rape of a 13 year old girl. Reading the details of the revolting crime simply make it impossible to excuse – even if more than thirty years have passed. The fact that some of his Hollywood friends would choose to support Polanski’s actions is almost as shocking as the illegal act itself. Forgive and forget? Should we forgive Phillip Garrido also because Jaycee didn’t actually “complain” about being kidnapped – and it happened 18 years ago! Maybe if Garrido were a successful Hollywood director, his friends would have petitioned for his freedom too! That same sense of entitlement allowed the Catholic church to get away with abusing children for many years.

LADY GAGA DOESN’T NEED KANYE WEST

kanye-and-gagacut

Kanye West’s big mouth is NOT increasing his popularity. He’s currently featured with Lady GaGa on her Fame Kills tour and it started out as a 50-50 deal, but his name has been taken off ads and marketing although he IS still performing. Kanye HAS been talking about “taking a vacation” so maybe he won’t do the entire tour – especially since GaGa has proved she can hold her own. Insiders believe that his name was removed because he turns too many people OFF.

ELLE MACPHERSON HAS ANOTHER MODEL IN THE FAMILY

It’s supermodel Elle Macpherson and her little boy Aurelius, 6, (that’s SOME name to live up to) and her labradoodle Bella. Two of the three are successful models. Elle is a given, but the other up and coming model is not her cute son – it’s Bella. The fuzzy pooch has a five figure modeling contract to star in a national ad campaign for Dogside.com.

MICHAEL JACKSON’S BROTHERS GOT THEIR WISH: A REALITY SHOW

Now HERE are the Jacksons we rarely saw before Michael Jackson died, and the brothers look better than ever. Marlon, Jackie, and Tito had lunch in Calabasas and the whole thing was filmed for their reality show “The Jackson Dynasty.” These brothers have been trying for years to get a reality show and finally got their wish. The show will reveal the private lives of the remaining Jackson Five – Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. (Jermaine was in Glasgow with LaToya when this segment was filmed.) Tito says “We’ve had cameras following us all our lives.” Somehow we can’t imagine the paparazzi stalking Tito – until now, perhaps.

LaToya Jackson continues to live it up in the aftermath of her brother Michael’s death. She and Jermaine just arrived in Glasgow to host a special Michael Jackson tribute on the MOBO Awards ( Music of Black Origin.) La Toya had a long career dry spell and now she’s back in action in a big way. (Note the Vuitton luggage that LaToya’s companion is schlepping.)

TAYLOR , LINDSAY, AND VICTORIA: THREE GENERATIONS OF HAIR EXTENSIONS

It’s hard to tell them apart from a distance. Taylor Momsen, Lindsay Lohan, and Victoria Gotti might be surprised to see how much they have in common. Tons of long blonde hair and little black outfits are the look of the day.

Heather Locklear showed up for work today on the set of Melrose Place, looking more than ready to crank up the bitch factor on the series. (Ironically, in real life, Heather is as far from a bitch as one can get.) She’s reprising her role as the conniving Amanda Woodard, but we won’t know until November 17 exactly how she fits into the show plot-wise. Hopefully, all the substance abuse problems she wrestled with in 2008 are history. Heather’s always happiest when she’s working.

LIKE BRAD AND ANGELINA, MADDOX HAS GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO PAPARAZZI

Maddox gets around. Maybe it pays to be the oldest of the Jolie-Pitt brood because he seems to get around more than the others. He was just in New York the other day playing video games with his dad Brad Pitt. Now he’s in the South of France with Angelina >Jolie and she took him shopping at the local supermarket. Both parents are spending a lot of one-on-one time with him.

OPRAH HAS HER EYE ON BERNARD MADOFF’S POSSESSIONS

Oprah and berniecut

Bernard Madoff’s ill gotten assets are being sorted out and sold, starting with the large items like houses and boats. Afterward, the contents of the houses will be put on the auction block and all that includes plenty of art and exquisite collectibles. Oprah is drooling over Madoff’s huge collection of first edition books. Her library of 1500 books is already impressive, but Oprah wants to increase her special collection of rare first editions and plans to keep close tabs on the auction.

We just can’t figure out how Halle Berry could look so much OLDER in her high school yearbook picture than she does now. She looked pretty, but SO mature. Was she heavier? Or is it just her hairstyle? Make up? This is a beauty secret the world would like to know.
