ALICIA KEYS: BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME

aces2.cutjpg
Having just suffered through her new movie Smokin’ Aces, we have nothing but sympathy for Alicia Keys in her film debut. How she got her sweet self involved in this testosterone fueled mess of a movie is a mystery. The only women in this movie are hookers and she played the smartest of the lot. You can call it a satire or a comedy, but this movie is SO not funny, SO trite, and SO overacted, that sitting through it is pure torture. Toupeed Jeremy Piven’s out of-this-universe hammy performance (channeling Al Pacino in Scarface) will not soon be forgotten. The plot is all about macho men cursing, posturing, pushing women around, peeing, killing, and talking about each other’s genitalia. Sorry Alicia, but what they say about movies released in January is obviously right.

VICTORIA BECKHAM: WHAT'S THE MESSAGE?

poshgaultier4.cutjpg
Can anybody out there translate what’s written on the back of Victoria Beckham’s neck? We’d also like to know just how LONG this tattoo is (down to her waist?) and what language it’s in. Was it perhaps inspired by the characters in Apocalypto?

EDDIE MURPHY: UNMOVED

eddie2.cutjpg
Our friend that works on the Zumanity show in Las Vegas described two distinctly different celebrity visits for us. He said that Sting was the perfect audience member – he was very responsive – laughing and hollering and really enjoying the show out loud. The oddest visitor was Eddie Murphy. Eddie reserved a whole row for himself and a couple of friends. He wore sunglasses and a hat and sat through the entire erotic show with his arms crossed and he never moved. “He looked like a wax dummy!” said our source. “With those glasses, he could have been asleep the whole time!”

WE TOLD YOU SO!

We LOVE it when we’re right! Back on December 17 we broke the story about Sharon Stone’s secret romance with Christian Slater. After many denials, they finally gave up pretending it wasn’t happening. They spent the holidays together and Christian managed to have a good time without alcohol. Nobody had high expectations that the romance would continue into the new year, but it HAS! Not only have they made it through the holidays, but they were seen in full make out mode at the Weinstein party at Trader Vic’s after The Golden Globes. They were smooching and pawing each other, paying no attention to who was watching, and we’re HAPPY for them!

KATIE HOLMES: FROM HERE TO MATURITY

katie_poshcut_012407_01.jpg
We can’t pass up another fashion moment with girlfriends Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes. They went out to an Armani party in Paris the other night and again their radically different style is apparent. Posh is fashion forward in her wide belted bubble dress with puff sleeves. She looks young and cute. But Katie must have picked her suit from the Armani “mature woman” collection (think Joan Collins.) And she topped it off with a brooch! Is Tom’s mother picking Katie’s outfits? We hope some of Posh’s frivolity will rub off the the serious Scientologist.

VICTORIA BECKHAM GETS THE ROYAL TREATMENT

posh_car_cut_011707_02.jpg
Poor little Paris Hilton. She’s going to feel awful the first time photographers shove her aside to get to Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham. But the fact is, there’s a bigger photo-op in town . Victoria hasn’t even moved to LA yet and she’s already the number one paparazzi target. When Posh visited The Grove recently to shop at Abercrombie & Fitch she was allowed to break all the rules. The Grove is a walking mall – there are no cars allowed. But Posh got permission to have her big black Escalade driven right up to the store’s front door! No one had EVER seen a car on the mall walkway so it drew an enormous amount of attention. Shoppers came running to see WHO was in the car and clerks abandoned their stores to gape. What an entrance! Michael Jackson, Gwen Stefani, Jessica , Paris, and Lindsay – all visit the mall on foot. LA is already treating Victoria like royalty.

JAMIE FOXX DRIVES A HARD BARGAIN

foxx_cutsirius_012307_01.jpg
We’ve been hearing a lot about Jamie Foxx’s ego lately – apparently he’s very fond of himself and not so easy to deal with. That heightened sense of importance wasn’t so evident when he was discussing Dreamgirls with Oprah Winfrey. He confided to Oprah that he was so hot to be in that movie that he would have done it for NOTHING. When the guys at Disney heard that they couldn’t believe their ears- in actuality, of ALL the movie’s cast – Jamie held out for the most money. They had a terrible time reaching a financial agreement with him. After all that , according to some critics, Jamie “walked through” the part and didn’t give a stand-out performance.

TOMMY LEE: SOCK IT TO YA!

001x8247.tommycutjpeg
Tommy Lee wants what he wants. His Rockstar Supernova band was playing in Memphis recently when Tommy had a wardrobe dilemma. He found himself desperately in need of socks! But the ONLY socks Tommy wears are sold at Target in West Hollywood. NOT necessarily at the Target stores in Memphis. Luckily they had a wardrobe person on the tour and Tommy had her fly to LA in the morning and run to the store to stock up on his special socks and then she and the socks turned around and flew right back to Memphis. He wore his new socks in the show that night. The band must be doing pretty well to afford indulgent day trips like that.

KATIE HOLMES AND VICTORIA BECKHAM: WINTER AND SUMMER

We’re starting to think that Katie Holmes Cruise and Victoria Beckham don’t have so much in common. Look how the girlfriends dressed for lunch at the Ivy: Katie acknowledges that it’s winter, and wears a turtleneck, a warm coat, and pants – she looks like she’s ready to watch a soccer game. Victoria, on the other hand, looks like she’s going to a garden party – she’s wearing a sleeveless white ruffled summery dress and NO jacket! These two are not on the same wavelength!
