We knew that 90210’s Shanae Grimes loved to shop at Chanel and is a regular on Robertson blvd, but we didn’t realize she also loves flea markets. A girl after our own heart! The 19 year old Canadian was reportedly very excited about her vintage finds at the Melrose Trading Post in West Hollywood. She even brought her camera to shoot her friends shopping.
When is the last time you saw Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen looking so blonde – or so happy? The twins are in Canada promoting their “Elizabeth & James” fashion line on the Muchmusic TV show. We’re guessing they’re happy because, despite the recession, business is good for them. It’s not often celebrity designers can start off at Wal-Mart and end up at posh stores like Barneys. The Olsens still have their tween line at Wal-Mart, they have their Elizabeth & James line at upscale department stores, and their high end collection “The Row” at exclusive boutiques.
Rihanna and Chris Brown had quite a jolt yesterday when the judge who sentenced Chris to six months of hard labor cleaning up highways and five years probation, flatly REFUSED Rihanna’s request to cancel the stay-away order. This was a real shock because Chris must stay 100 yards away from Rihanna for five years or his probation will be REVOKED and he’ll go straight to jail. Rihanna hoped the judge would drop the order. This enhances the tragic “Romeo & Juliet” aspect of their shattered romance. Insiders feel the former lovers hoped to reunite when things quieted down. Now they don’t have a chance. Smart judge.
Conrad Murray is a poor excuse for a doctor in many ways. After all that education, he gave up his practice and sold himself to Michael Jackson as a drug supplier for $150,000 a month. He committed one unethical act after another because this job was “ a great opportunity.” Drugs and neglect may have killed Michael, but Murray did more than that. When he discovered that Michael had overdosed, this slimey doctor summoned Michael’s twelve year old son Prince Michael to witness the event and forced him to perform CPR on his deceased father. Why? There were other adults in the house but Murray chose to expose the terrified boy to this tragic situation. He pushed the crying boy to attempt to revive the lifeless body of the only father he ever knew. This was his last nightmarish memory of Michael. Apparently Murray hoped to use Prince as a sympathetic witness. How cruel and selfish can you get? Hopefully, Murray’s greed will get him what he deserves.
The Standard hotel in New York is creating quite a stir thanks to their exhibitionistic guests. The hipster hotel features floor to ceiling windows and guests are fond of stripping and performing x-rated acts in full view of the public in the park below. Oddly enough, the Standard in West Hollywood has always featured these nudie acts in their windows but no one has ever complained. Probably because the windows face the pool and people at the pool have always found it highly entertaining. A topless Britney Spears is rumored to have been featured in the window show and former hard partiers Robert Downey Jr, Leonardo Dicaprio, and Eminem were regular voyeurs in the past. Spontaneity is encouraged at this hotel – they have vending machines at the poolside bar that sell Quicksilver bikinis and board shorts.
Kim Basinger is the perfect example of a celebrity who DOESN’T want to be noticed at the airport. She arrived at the Vancouver airport covered up in a big gray jacket, baggy jeans and a white t shirt. Clunky sandals, sunglasses and a hat completed her disguise. She’s in Vancouver to start filming “The Death and Life of Charlie St Cloud.” Kim plays Zac Efron’s mother in this drama.
We’ve seen some surprising airport get-ups- celebrities often try to keep their identities under wraps. That’s definitely not Lady Gaga’s motivation. She startled and delighted other passengers at LAX when she showed up wearing a scarf and a latex bra and matching tight skirt. Not surprising, since Lady Gaga says fashion is “everything” to her, and she credits Grace Jones as an inspiration. We wonder how comfortable latex is during a long flight.

How adorable does nineteen year old Taylor Swift look in this photo shoot in Notting Hill in London? The satin cocktail dress and strappy stilettos give her a real supermodel look. While in the UK, she’s already confessed to developing a little crush on Irish singer Danny O’Donoghue from The Script. Who needs Joe Jonas, anyway.
Bradley Cooper’s romance with his “Case 39” costar Renee Zellweger continues to flourish. He’s a longtime member of the exclusive Equinox gym on Sunset and “The Hangover” star brought Renee along as a guest for a recent workout. They were both dressed down in sweats and worked out with free weights and on machines. According to a witness “They were friendly, but not obviously affectionate. On the way out, Renee put on her big sunglasses and looked like a movie star. “
