EDDIE VAN HALEN HAS PULLED HIMSELF TOGETHER

Newlywed Eddie Van Halen barely resembles the person he was a couple of years ago. The last time we saw him he looked homeless – dirty stringy hair, rotten teeth, nasty clothes, and beat up shoes that flapped because they were so worn the soles detached. It’s amazing what giving up alcohol can do for a person! Eddie married his girlfriend Janie Liszewski last month (no alcohol at the reception) and his 50 pounds thinner exwife Valerie Bertinelli was at the wedding. Both Eddie and Valerie have given up their vices and improved their lives.

EMMA THOMPSON IS NOT A TYPICAL ACTRESS

We love Emma Thompson, for quietly and without fanfare, adopting a desperate teenager from Rwanda and giving him a life and a future. The photo above shows proud Emma and her husband Greg Wise at the graduation ceremony at the University of Exeter where her adopted son Tindy got his degree. Tindy (real name Tindyebwa) was an orphan and child soldier who fled Rwanda when he was sixteen. With Emma’s guidance he learned English and has excelled in school. He plans to get a Masters degree in politics.

Marla Maples and her 16 year old daughter Tiffany Trump, who bears a strong resemblance to her dad Donald. Marla IS famous for busting up Donald and Ivana’s marriage, but we like to remember her for that “shoe fetish” incident. Forty pairs of Marla’s high heels gradually disappeared and she caught her own publicist red-handed on tape stealing them for sniffing and cuddling purposes! The missing shoes were all found at his office. Despite the evidence, he pleaded not guilty and didn’t serve any time, but the embarrassing situation was hilarious.

Mickey Rourke is still thinking about his deceased dog Loki. Not only does Mickey wear Loki’s photo around his neck, but now he has Loki’s name monogrammed on his dandyish velvet shoes. “The Wrestler” star is in London now and we’re guessing that’s where he got the custom made footwear.

HAS KATE JACKSON TURNED INTO A GREY GARDENS HOARDER?

Kate Jackson looked fine at Farrah’s funeral a few weeks ago, but Globe and Star had a disturbing story about Kate this past week. A guy who works for a professional cleaning company claims Kate is a reclusive hoarder, living in a filthy house filled with junk and garbage and claims he found her “living in squalor.” The guy said her assistant hired the company to clean up the house June 17, after her Santa Monica neighbors complained the house and yard were in shambles. His company hauled out dozens of boxes of trash. He also said Kate wasn’t in great shape – she looked unhealthy and “out of it.” After two days of cleaning and dumping, the guy said he felt most sorry for Kate’s 13 year old son Taylor, who had to live in the mess.

WE’VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM RYAN O’NEAL

You can’t turn on the TV lately without seeing Ryan O’Neal describing Farrah Fawcett’s tragic “last hours.” These are all the talk show bookings that were cancelled when Michael Jackson died just hours after Farrah. Does anyone really want to know about Farrah’s last breathing moments? There’s no mystery here. We are sadly familiar with the way she died and happy she was nominated for an Emmy. Ryan seems to be milking it for all it’s worth as he describes her last days in detail in that quivering voice, and compares his “loss” to his movie “Love Story.”

TRACE CYRUS IS STILL CHANNELLING JOEY RAMONE

Every day Trace Cyrus reminds us more and more of Joey Ramone. Which is not a bad thing for his career, since it sets him far apart from his famous relatives Billy Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus. His band Metro Station is a MySpace sensation and touring and making money. We were a little surprised by his flirtation with 16 year old Disney girl Demi Lovato, and even MORE surprised to hear that he’s collaborating on a song with Miley. So much for street cred. But he seems like the coolest one in the family.

FANS JEERED DAVID BECKHAM WHILE EMBARRASSED FAMILY WATCHED

Tom Cruise and Victoria Beckham and the kids watched in horror as their hero David Beckham was loudly BOOED by outraged LA Galaxy fans during his first game back Sunday. Angry fans never let up – every time Beckham got near the ball they booed and chanted and yelled “Traitor!” And they held up giant signs saying things like “Go home, fraud!” Fans are irked because after David signed a mega-deal with Galaxy, he decided he wants to play for Milan instead. They feel betrayed and want him to know it. Victoria and Tom could only wince.

DR ROBERT REY IS A VISION IN WHITE

Brazilian Dr Robert Rey is certainly the flashiest plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills. He looks more like an actor than a surgeon and in fact, has long had theatrical aspirations. He became a member of the Screen Actor’s Guild back in 1980. He found his niche on the E! series “Dr 90210” where he specializes in breast augmentation. To be fair, he does travel on a yearly mission outside the USA to operate on poor kids with physical deformities, but we’d be more impressed if it weren’t televised.

MADONNA RETAINS A SUBTLE SUBVERSIVE EDGE

We were curious about the t-shirt Madonna is wearing in this photo. It looks like a teddy bear with either a weapon or a guitar. We did some research and learned that it’s a hot new line of shirts featuring a cuddly teddy bear named Mime with a subversive edge and a penchant for automatic weapons and other aggressive things. (They’re designed by Steven Trussell who used to have that provocative LA shop called Naked.) Mime shirts are sold at Metropark stores everywhere.
