DITA VON TEESE: MORE THAN A GLAMOUR GIRL

ditamon2.cutjpg
We still can’t get over the Dita Von Teese– Marilyn Manson divorce. We thought they were the perfect Hollywood couple. Whatever Marilyn did or did not do to cause Dita to file (SHE doesn’t talk about it) – we predict he’ll live to regret it. Friends of the once-happy pair say that Dita is not only a glamour girl of the first order, but a HOUSEWIFE too! “She’s a homebody – she cooks like a dream, cleans and keeps house – and she does it all in stiletto heels!” We also hear that Dita is taking the high road- she doesn’t want Marilyn’s money – she has her own (MAC cosmetics takes very good care of her, thank you very much!) Currently Dita is working in Europe, and we bet Marilyn is missing those home-cooked meals and black seamed stockings!

DANIEL CRAIG: ALL OVER HOLLYWOOD

16091469.jpg
Suddenly the new James Bond is all over Hollywood. Daniel Craig, looking sexy in a leather jacket, was spotted parking his Jaguar and walking into Greenblatt’s deli for lunch with his girlfriend on Monday . Two days later he was seen at The Grove headed for Abercrombie & Fitch on the same day Victoria Beckham was shopping there. (Brits LOVE this store) Later the new 007 hero inexpertly parked his Escalade (another American icon loved by Brits) in front of the tiny shop Beverly Hills Juice, but his girlfriend couldn’t get out of the passenger side because her door was blocked by the parking meter. While passersby watched, he reparked the jumbo vehicle. (It’s not so easy when you’re accustomed to small cars and driving on the other side of the street.) Once inside, the couple enjoyed wheat grass shots. Nice that he turns up in unexpected places – not just The Ivy.

DONALD TRUMP'S HIGH OCTANE VODKA

25907_donald1cut_122_488lo.jpg
Even Donald Trump doesn’t look too confident about his Trump Super Premum Vodka – maybe because he’s never tasted it. Non-drinker Trump chose an odd product to put his name on – we think a hairspray would have been more appropriate. Guests who attended the Trump vodka party at Le Deux complained that they were charged $20 for valet parking – for a PARTY! All the tables were reserved for celebrities who got photographed on the red carpet and promptly left. “The party was jammed with ordinary people who weren’t allowed to sit at the empty tables or open the Trump vodka bottles on them. The DJ played The Apprentice theme song “Money” when Donald arrived with great fanfare, preceded by security guards clearing the way. Even HE left after ten minutes.”
Sorry Donald, we’re sticking with Jimi Hendrix vodka.

SCOTT STORCH: GOOD GUY?

lohanstorchcut010307-thumb.jpg
We’re hearing that music producer Scott Storch is the real brains behind getting Lindsay Lohan into rehab- certainly not Brandon Davis, who seems to be taking credit for it. According to an insider, here’s what went down: Lindsay and Scott and Paris Hilton were partying like crazy Saturday night at Xenii. Brandon who is Paris’s roomate was by their side. They were boozing it up, making out with each other and there just MIGHT have been some white powder flying around. “Paris is a big instigator when it comes to overdoing anything.” It got to be such an orgy of indulgence that Scott became the voice of reason – he said “Enough is enough!” (He wants Lindsay as a recording artist.) He saw that Lindsay was WAY too messed up . A few days later he suggested that Lindsay and Brandon both go to rehab and volunteered to take them. They agreed, but Brandon backed out at the last minute leaving Lindsay on her own.

VICTORIA BECKHAM STILL SHOPPING

Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham couldn’t wait to get to LA to go house shopping and visit all the Abercrombie & Fitch stores she can find! Vicky’s penchant for the moderately priced sportswear emporium is puzzling- it’s about as opposite as you can get from John Galliano couture. We suspect the reason she’s obsessed with this store is because they don’t have them in Europe. It’s strictly American. Posh just left the store at the Grove (the second A&F she’s visited this week) where she reportedly stocked up on LA apparel for herself. More teensy tank tops, shorts and little T shirts. Afterward she hopped in that big black Escalade and took off.

CHER AND LIBERACE: THE EARLY DAYS

Once upon a time, back in the 70’s before reality shows were invented, we had variety shows including the Sonny and Cher Show. We came across these photos and realized they are significant because, besides being fun to look at, both of Cher‘s outfits were auctioned off last year for a lot of money. Remember, in those days Liberace was NOT gay and everyone seemed to believe the rumors that Cher had ribs removed to make her waist smaller. (She didn’t .)

JAMES BROWN AND TOMI RAE: WHAT SHE DID FOR LOVE

9520061226jamescuttomig.jpg
We had no idea what Tomi Rae Hynie went through to keep her man James Brown happy. An insider from the Brown camp revealed that James, 72, liked his women “to look a certain way.” If his wife or girlfriend had beauty flaws, James insisted they do somethng about it. He felt he had a reputation to maintain and didn’t want a fat unattractive female partner. – he wanted a “trophy wife.” That’s why he encouraged his exwive Adrienne to have liposuction – unfortunately she died while recovering. James was devastated and Tomi, 36, came along just in time to save him from despair. But Tomi wan’t perfect either so James spent $60,000 to fine- tune her looks. She had breast augmentation, lip augmentation, liposuction, her cheeks and chin done, her brow lifted and her teeth redone. Most of the work was done in the last year or so and she became dependent on painkillers. She’s been through a lot and now she’s shut out of the house and James’ will, it seems. We hope she has a smart lawyer – she deserves her share.

BRAD PITT'S BEAUTY SECRET

bradangie121306cut_03.jpg
If Brad Pitt has been looking a little rough around the edges since he started his globe-trotting adventures with Angelina Jolie – there’s a good reason. He lost his hair’s “best friend” – his hairdresser Chris McMillan. Jennifer Aniston is close friends with Chris and she always brought her boyfriends to get haircuts from him. Chris kept Brad looking great until the marriage busted up. Jen asked Chris not to keep Brad as a client and Chris cooperated. Now Brad goes to Angelina’s hairdresser. Most interesting, is the fact that Jennifer did NOT ban Vince Vaughn from Chris McMillan’s salon. Although she brought Vince there, Jen is still friendly with her ex Vince and doesn’t mind if Chris works on him. It convinces us that Jen is a LONG way from having any kind of friendship with Brad.

PAMELA ANDERSON: KIDS FIRST, DATES SECOND

pammy61cut.jpg
No WONDER someone has been demanding retractions of the story about Pamela Anderson‘s so-called “bad date” with billionaire Steve Bing. (We didn’t write it.) Now it appears that Steve is making progress in his determined wooing of Pamela. Their mutual friend Heidi Fleiss is encouraging a romance, but Pam is not as enthusiastic as Steve. However, Steve HAS been quietly seeing Pam and his generosity and attention is bound to impress her after dating selfindulgent rockstars. Pammy still has a place in her heart for the father of her kids Tommy Lee, and they spent time together with the kids at Christmas, but she doesn’t picture a future with him. She’s trying to be open-minded about dating others. Last nght she was seen dining at Beige with friends but she left early explaining “I always get up early with the boys and take them to school.” Britney could take a tip from her.
