BARBRA STREISAND: THE WAY SHE WAS

We almost forgot how cute Barbra Streisand was back in the 70’s. She looks like a hippie girl her in her Woodstock hair and embroidered jacket from Chinatown. And that was a real suntan – they didn’t have tanning booths then. A few weeks ago Barbra was at a big art event in Santa Monica – it was held in a large space crowded with wealthy art collectors. A woman heard Barbra was in the house and asked several people where she might find her. She was told “If she’s here, she’ll be by the food.” Sure enough, Barbra was found nibbling at the food table. Hubby James Brolin was socializing while, according to a server, Barbra was ” parked at the food table all night.”

NICOLE KIDMAN AND NAOMI WATTS STICK TOGETHER

naominic
We had no idea that making movies could do terrible things to your hair, but Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts have had some bad experiences. They claim that the studio people are way too rough on their locks when they change color, blow dry, and style. The constant manipulation to get the perfect look, damaged their fragile hair. They’re both leading ladies in demand these days so they don’t have to put up with broken ends. Awhile back, the two Australian pals joined forces to INSIST that they wear wigs in every movie they make, and it’s become a given. Even if it looks exactly like their natural hair, you can bet it’s fake.

PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE GOTTA HAVE IT

richieparis2cut.jpg
Looks like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie ARE starting to feel like Victoria Beckham bumped them off the paparazzi hot list. Demand for photos of Paris has leveled off – especially in the US- snappers say she’s overexposed and people are turned off. Posh Spice is expected to be the new hot girl In town and Paris and friends aren’t happy. (We predict Paris will eventually buddy up to Posh to share some of her spotlight – the way she did with Britney.) In an absurd attempt to drum up attention for themselves, Paris and Nicole walked into Mr Chow through the back door a few days ago. (Photographers are always camped in front of this popular Beverly Hills restaurant.) The two girls said hello to a few people and walked right through the restaurant without eating. They strolled out the front door into a blast of flashbulbs. They’ve gotta have that fix.

PRINCE TO JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE: SEXY NEVER LEFT

timberprince.jpgIt looks like a feud actually IS starting to bubble between Justin Timberlake and Prince.
Our clever colleague, CJ, who writes for the Star Tribune in Minneapolis, says SOME people think Justin’s new CD apes Prince’s style. At an Emmys party Prince announced “For whoever is claiming that they are bringing sexy back, sexy never left!” And who can forget Justin at the Golden Globes, squatting in front of the microphone to imitate his tiny rival. Looks like Justin really RESENTS those comparisons between his CD and Prince’s music. He and Nelly Furtado came out with the diss song “Give it to Me” in which he mocks Prince’s mumbling, and jokes “We missed you on the charts last week.” (Justin’s CD is outselling Prince’s 3121 by a MILE. ) The ball is in Prince’s court.

TR KNIGHT: HE'S NO FOOL

tr%20knight.jpg
Poor TR Knight! First the semi unknown actor is dragged out of the closet by his Grey’s Anatomy costar Isaiah Washington, and now we’re insulting his intelligence by suggesting he might quit the show in despair! The rumor that TR is so fed up with the politically incorrect shenanigans on the show that he might WALK AWAY is the cruelest blow of all. Would any actor in his right mind be dumb enough give up a regular and large paycheck from a hit show because his FEELINGS were hurt? Don’t be insulted, TR – we never believed that silly story for a minute!

DIANE KRUGER: FIRST COME FIRST SERVED

diane%20kruger.cutjpg
The first celebrity to arrive on the red carpet at an award show is usually the most eager to get publicity – for whatever reason. National Treasure’s Diane Kruger (who also starred in Troy) was first at the SAG Awards and took her time posing for photos. The pretty German born blonde also chatted with every interviewer . She wasn’t a nominee or a presenter on the show – she was just out to have a good time – and maybe publicize her upcoming movie Spring Break in Bosnia. We think she’s cute so we’re giving her the American publicity she hoped for.

HERE COME THE BECKHAMS!

beckham-lacut.jpg
No sooner did the rumor about the Beckhams doing a reality series like the Osbournes start circulating, than real estate red carpets started rolling UP. At first, everybody was courting Victoria and David Beckham and hoped they’d move in next door. Sellers were thrilled when Posh came to check out their homes. That was BEFORE anybody heard about the dreaded “reality series.” Homeowners in upscale neighborhoods REMEMBER all the hoopla caused by TV cameras when the Osbournes were filming at home. The Osbournes’ humorless neighbors were aggravated by all the noise, the giant trucks and equipment blocking their streets (especially inconvenient in the hills) and strangers with walkie talkies or toolbelts wandering around. It became a war zone. If they decide to do the reality show, we suggest the Beckhams RENT for the duration. Then they can move away from the neighbors who hate them after the show is over.

NICOLE KIDMAN AND KEITH URBAN ARE DOING FINE, THANK YOU

nicole_kidcut_i_keith_urban.jpg
Rumors that Keith Urban checked back into rehab were circulating last week, but they proved to be untrue. Keith and Nicole continue to live at the Beverly Hills Hotel while she films “Invasion.” (A remake of The Body Snatchers that we can’t wait to see) Nicole wasn’t injured in that movie car accident a few days ago, but Keith sent her a lavish bouquet of flowers to cheer her up after the close call. They were seen hand in hand wandering around the 3rd Street Promenade this past weekend , with no photographers hot on their trail.

X-men star Famke Janssen admits she is obsessed with her dog Licorice. “I am consumed by my dog and treat him like a baby. He’s all I can handle now – Lick can travel everywhere with me and he doesn’t drink or do drugs. So he’s not much trouble.”
