COURTNEY LOVE AND FRANCES COBAIN SHOP SEPARATELY NOW

Courtney Love is walking around New York looking very skinny, but she happens to be carrying a big box of vitamins. That’s a step in the right direction – but they’re not a substitute for food.
Meanwhile, Courtney’s daughter with Kurt Cobain – Frances Cobain – is seventeen now and she was seen shopping on her own in the village at Zachary’s Smile – a shop that sells vintage clothing from the 1940’s to the 1980’s. She’s definitely developing her own style, but will she ever have a normal life?

MICHAEL JACKSON: THE JHERI CURL BURNED HIS SCALP IN THAT PEPSI AD

mhu3ibjackson jheri

A friend who just happened to work on the 1984 Pepsi commercial where Michael Jackson had his scalp burned filled us in on what REALLY occurred that night at the Shrine Auditorium. Michael Jackson spent his off-camera time watching “Three Stooges” movies in his dressing room. When the big scene with the pryrotechnics was being set up, Michael was reminded NOT to use the greasy Jheri Curl solution he wore in his hair. They were afraid it might be flammable. Even in those days Michael did what HE wanted – he paid no attention and used the Jheri Curl product as usual. During the first take Michael made his entrance a bit too quickly and the fireworks weren’t so spectacular behind him. For the second (and ultimately final) take Michael was advised to enter slowly and the fireworks were beefed up. It was during the second take that sparks ignited Michael’s Jheri Curl and seriously burned his scalp. And ONLY his scalp – the rest of him was okay. The source believes that if Michael hadn’t used the Jheri Curl he would not have burned. Funny how life happens.

JASON SCHWARTZMAN PULLED A FAST ONE

Leave it to “Funny People” star Jason Schwartzman,29, to pull off a secret wedding that nobody found out about for almost six weeks! Getting married at his home in the valley was smart because paparazzi rarely venture to the “over the hill.” Jason and his longtime love, designer Brady Cunningham, tied the knot on July 11 in the presence of a few friends and family members, and of course their bulldog Arrow.

THIS IS MADONNA’S NEW SWIMSUIT

After a summer of observing celebrities in tiny bikinis, we confess we were a bit flabbergasted by Madonna’s modest choice of swimwear. THIS is what she wore for a swim in Portofino, Italy. Madonna has never hesitated to show her body – remember she hitchhiked NUDE in Miami for her “Sex” book. Now she’s pulled a fashion about-face and concealed herself from neck to knee is a loose black basketball style ensemble with her name on the front. She also had a black sun umbrella to match. Could this new modesty be kabbalah influenced?

CHRIS BROWN IS A CHICK MAGNET?

In spite of his questionable taste in clothing, Chris Brown continues to go through the motions of being a ladies man. After a night of partying, he showed up at Kitchen 24 in Hollywood one night last week at 3:30 AM. According to a witness, the group consisted of Chris and six buddies, a bodyguard, and – no kidding- “fifteen or sixteen girls.” Chris and friends were given a whole section of the restaurant. Chris noisily held court and chatted up all the girls – they willingly laughed at all his jokes. When he paid the tab and left, our witness couldn’t tell which, if any of the girls, went home with Chris.

GUESS WHO’S STARRING AS DR JACK KEVORKIAN IN THE HBO MOVIE?

Dr Jack Kevorkian has long been one of our heroes, and we’re delighted to see that HBO is making a TV movie of his life starring Al Pacino, frivolously titled “You don’t know Jack.” (We love Al, but we hope he doesn’t ham it up too much.) Dr Kevorkian’s courageous and logical support for the right to die for terminally ill people earned him 8 undeserved years in prison. A glaring injustice. Hopefully this prestigious TV movie directed by Barry Levinson and costarring Susan Sarandon and John Goodman will open a few eyes on this battle to legalize doctor assisted suicide. We’re grateful that 81 year old Jack Kevorkian is still around to see this movie happen.

LA TOYA JACKSON HAS EXPENSIVE TASTE

First it was Jermaine and now we have ANOTHER Jackson hitting Rodeo Drive with a vengeance! La Toya popped into Chanel and created such a stir among tourists that when she finished shopping she had to be escorted out. As the fees for interviews and appearances keep rolling in, Michael Jackson’s less successful brothers and sisters are suddenly IN THE MONEY and living it up. And this is just the beginning – when the personal appearances and tribute performances begin, the siblings will be on easy street.

ALEC BALDWIN HAS GONE TO BAT FOR MICHAEL VICK

Alec Baldwin’s support for Michael Vick has us perplexed. Animal activist Alec blogged to The Huffington Post that he feels that because Vick is a public figure, he’s being judged by more rigorous standards than other people who abuse animals. Alec claims the owners of meatpacking plants and directors of medical research on animals aren’t as harshly judged because they are out of sight. Baldwin feels that Michael Vick deserves another chance to prove he is a changed man. We take offense to the notion that meat packers and medical researchers can be COMPARED to a bloodthirsty monster like Vick who deliberately tortured and killed domesticated PETS for his own twisted amusement. Some things are not so easy to forgive. Sorry Alec, you struck out on this one.

ROBIN AND SEAN PENN’S LAST CONVERSATION

We didn’t realize it when we posted this photo of Sean Penn and his wife Robin Wright Penn having an uncomfortable looking discussion last month, but their marriage was already in the dumpster again. The troubled couple has filed for divorces and separations in the past and always ended up reconciling. This time, Robin says it’s really OVER. She filed. Sean doesn’t look particularly happy about it, but he quickly resumed his night time socializing.

HOTEL GUESTS WANT HEIDI KLUM AND SEAL TO BEAT IT

heidi-klum-sealcut

Guests at the luxurious Kahala Hotel in Honolulu are not ENJOYING the sight of Heidi Klum frolicking on the beach – they’re COMPLAINING about her! Heidi and Seal and their kids are making a huge production out of their stay at the fancy hotel. When the family is on the beach they have two obvious bodyguards with earpieces and fanny packs, patrolling the sand. If an innocent Japanese tourist picks up his camera to take a picture, the guards pounce and accuse him of trying to sneak photos of Heidi. The wealthy hotel guests are insulted and angry. Both Eminem and Gwen Stefani were recent visitors at the same hotel with NO fanfare and NO bodyguards.
