MEGHAN MARKLE’S GOOD DEED

After decades of being a Hollywood gossip columnist, this is the type of item we usually avoid because unless our source is impeccable, it usually feels likes a publicity stunt.  This time however, our source has the receipts, so we believe them and are sharing this with our readers.  During a recent dinner at Lucky’s Steakhouse in Montecito, Meghan Markle came to the rescue of a fellow diner in distress.  Our eyewitness reveals Meghan was having a quiet dinner with an unidentified female friend and the table next to them was occupied by a middle aged couple celebrating a birthday.  The wife had one too many martinis and started feeling sick at the table.  Her husband was struggling to get her to the restroom, so Meghan and her friend got up to help, kindly accompanying the damsel in distress into the women’s room, and they helped her sober up enough to leave the restaurant with her dignity intact.

MELISSA RIVERS CARES ABOUT HER MOTHER’S FRIENDS

Melissa Rivers created and produced the upcoming special tribute to her late mother, Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute, which is airing on NBC.  When the special was filmed in November, the celebrity roasters, including White Lotus star Aubrey Plaza, posed with an URN supposedly containing Joan’s ashes. (we happen to think it was a prop)  Barely a month after the special taped, Aubrey’s estranged husband Jeff Baena committed suicide, and naturally she felt uncomfortable with the yet-unreleased publicity photos showing her posing with the urn.  Considerate Melissa agreed and had the urn airbrushed out of Aubrey’s photos – so now she is only seen posing with an empty pedestal. Hence this odd photo….

IS PAMELA ANDERSON HAVING FUN?

Pamela Anderson and her son turned up at the Met Gala and her look was a huge jolt.  In the past she always attended events clad in frivolous sexy fashions with a fun-loving attitude.  We applaud her for assuming a new natural look with barely any makeup. But this DRESS!  She ignored the man-tailored fashion theme of the event and wore this drab  puffy bejewelled dress that looks like it could stand up by itself. Extremely unflattering.  And the short haircut with bangs! Rather librarian. Remember Pamela, natural beauty does not have to be bland…

MET GALA: WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

Here’s a look we almost overlooked at the black male fashion oriented Met Gala: It’s Maluma and designer Willy Chavarria wearing exaggerated zoot suits. The Latino culture went wild over the zoot suit look in the late 40’s but  black dandies  were  the first to create it  – so it works either way for this event.

DIANA ROSSs: MISTAKES HAPPEN

As much as we love Diana Ross, we coudn’t help being very turned OFF by her choice of fashion for the Met Gala.  Remember, the theme of the event was Tailoring Black Style and  a majority of guests did  display some form of men’s tailoring.  Diana arrived early and she looked helpless in her glitzy gown covered by a GIGANTIC white feather cloak with a train 18 feet long! It took around 10 men to carry the train behind her and she had trouble climbing the met stairs without assistance. She topped it off with a huge matching white feather hat. Unfortunately, the over-the-top outfit screamed look-at-me self-indulgence and waste. It was embarrassing. Turns out, attention-seeking long trains were popular at this event, but none were as overdone as Diana’s.

RIHANNA: A TASTE OF WHAT’S TO COME

Last night Anna Wintour hosted a somewhat casual dinner at her own NY home before the Met Gala today.  Naturally all the celebrities invited knew paparazzi would be outside so they had to plan fabulous outfits and dress up TWO nights in a row. Rihanna takes her fashion seriously and always wants to be the belle of the ball.  We like that she wore an original version of a pin stripe suit  with appropriate accessories AND (somehow) a train. The man next to her is holding the train to keep it from dragging on the wet street. Can’t wait to see what Rihanna wears tonight to the gala!

TOM CRUISE HOPES TO BRING SCIENTOLOGY TO CUBA

If Tom Cruise gets his way, his rumored girlfriend, actress Ana de Armas, will be the key to bringing Scientology to her native Cuba.  There is no active presence of the questionable “religious” organization in Cuba, but now Tom and the powers behind him at Scientology are hoping to change that.  Ana is a HUGE celebrity in Cuba, and her influence is immense, so don’t be too surprised if he and Ana make an big splashy visit to Havana together to cut the ribbon on a planned Scientology outpost in the Cuban capital.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Every mom thinks their child is beautiful – except for THIS appearance obsessed celebrity. Our glamorous star has made her fortune thanks in part to extensive plastic surgery, and while she undoubtedly loves her children, she can’t help but obsess that they too will need to undergo procedures to look as good as she does.  Although the kids haven’t yet entered high school, they have already met with their family’s plastic surgeon – who’s on speed dial.  As soon as they’re old enough, the kids will undergo the requisite nose jobs and facial enhancements that have made mom the woman she now is.

 

GUESS WHO!!!

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The Tony nominations were a big news in the world of entertainment, especially since George Clooney earned a Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play nomination for his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck.  Here’s what we know. Although George has earned mostly positive reviews for his performance, our Broadway insider says it was actually Donald Trump who pushed voters over the edge to nominate George. Trump has been badmouthing Clooney for ages, referring to him as a bad actor, and my source explains this was the Broadway communities way of giving Trump the middle finger.

Blast from the past, Heather Locklear, made a rare appearance in Canada at the Calgary Expo fan convention. The 63-year-old actress has pretty much avoided the limelight while she dealt with the fallout of some alcohol induced bad behavior. Now that she’s sober and in a better place, we heard that Heather used the expo as a way to test the waters and get back in the limelight. Remember, at one time she was the star of two top ten TV shows airing during the same week.  Heather is determined to reclaim her throne as a major TV star and is already up for two pilots.  Stay tuned.

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet were in the news for being all over one another while sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers playoff game.  Although the lovebirds didn’t bring the team any good luck (they lost and were eliminated from the playoffs) we just heard that Kylie and Timothee are secretly engaged (!)  but in typical Kris Jenner fashion, they’re keeping the news quiet until they can monetize the announcement. That explains why they couldn’t keep their hands off of each other…

For those who care about football: Sad news out of Palm Springs when former NFL star turned sports commentator, John Elway, was driving a golf cart when his friend and longtime agent, Jeff Sperbeck somehow fell off, hit his head, and passed away a few days later.  Here’s what we know. The accident happened at the posh Madison Club, a residential community in La Quinta, which is often referred to as the Beverly Hills of the desert. (Kourtney Kardashian is just one of the many wealthy residents.)  There are security cameras practically everywhere in the gated community, and now authorities are requesting to view all footage to see if John was driving erratically.  While no charges have been announced, my source says this incident is quickly being investigated.

Prince Andew’s accuser, Virginia Guiffre made the headlines when it was announced she had committed suicide.  Just heard that although the Australian authorities have closed this case, some of her family members are planning to hire private investigators as they have serious doubts that there wasn’t any foul play.  My source says that the family is already interviewing potential PI’s.

Bill Belichick and his decades younger girlfriend Jordan Hudson made big news when she interrupted an interview he was doing with CBS to promote his autobiography. Jordan leapt out of her chair and stopped the interview when Bill was asked how he and Jordan met.  Although they have claimed to have originally met on a flight to Palm Beach, we just heard that some people close to Bill aren’t buying this story and are now trying to pull flight records to see if these two were ever on the same flight, much less seated next to one another.  My source says that there’s a growing fear there’s WAY more to this story, and that Jordan seems to have a Svengali like influence over the famed football coach, so that’s why concerned ones are looking to dig up any dirt.

Disgraced former Congressman turned Cameo star, George Santos, made the news for being sentenced to 87 months in prison after pleading guilty to a litany of charges.  We have had numerous Santos scoops during his time in the spotlight and here’s another one. Although he doesn’t have to report to prison until the summer, we heard this.  George is hoping to go on a national tour before he reports.  He wants to make paid personal appearances at various venues across the country where he will tell stories and dish the dirt on what goes on behind closed doors in Congress. Long story short, he owes a lot of money in court ordered retribution and is looking for creative ways to quickly come up with the cash before he’s wearing prison stripes.

WE TOLD YA SO!

Days after we reported that George Santos was already working on getting pardoned for his crimes, the disgraced former Congressman confirmed our scoop during an interview with TMZ.( See link below and read the ENTIRE item  for confirmation that WE TOLD YA SO) Prior to getting sentenced, George insisted he would NOT seek a presidential pardon, but once he was ordered to spend 87 months in prison, he quickly changed his tune and blabbed to TMZ that his attorneys are already working on that get- out-of- jail card!
