NO STRINGS

bd042506_07brandnickcut.jpg
Kevin Connolly must have had a premonition when he popped Brandon Davis in the puss recently. Since Nicky Hilton and Kevin split up, Brandon has oozed himself into becoming her constant companion.They were together at Xenii over the weekend and at Area on Monday night. A friend evaluated the Brandon/Nicky liaison: “They’re friends with benefits. Sex without strings. They grew up together so they have a lot in common and know each other well. Neither of them wants a relationship now -and they don’t have to go home alone.” Most unappetizing is the fact that Nicky’s sister Paris seems to have had this SAME arrangement with Brandon just a few weeks ago- between boyfriends! It’s almost too nauseating to contemplate.

WHO LOVES YOU

frankie_valli_fcut.jpg
One more reason to love Frankie Valli: he didn’t forget his New Jersey buddies that were the original Four Seasons. The group split up in the 70’s’s but Frankie never forgot where he came from. He toured with replacement “Seasons” for years while his former backup guys knocked around and didn’t do well on their own. One even ended up in jail for awhile. Despite their differences, when Frankie and his songwriter/partner Bob Gaudio put together the deal for their hit Broadway show Jersey Boys, Frankie made sure the ORIGINAL Seasons and their families would receive a percentage of the profits. They couldn’t be happier and we love Frankie for that.

SOMETHING IN COMMON

pam3cutjpg
Here’s Pamela Anderson leaving Paris Hilton’s house early in the morning and we figured out how she got there. Paris and Pam turned up TOGETHER at Koi the night before for cocktails. Koi regulars, who had never seen them together before, were surprised by the unlikely duo – “Who knew THEY were friends?” (they have a lot in common – their mutual paparazzi addiction) The fun-loving gals ordered Crystal champagne and vodka cranberry cocktails. PAM paid the four hundred dollar tab and left a hundred dollar tip. (Paris says she NEVER pays for drinks) Apparently they continued partying at Paris’s and that’s how Pam ended up staggering out early in the AM.

FAMILY MAN

nicholas_cage.jpg
Bowlers at Pinz Bowling Alley in Studio City on October 14 were amused to see Nicolas Cage having a good time knocking down pins. He looked like any other guy in a white shirt and dark jeans and goofy rented bowling shoes.- his hair was dyed black and longish. The real attraction was his pretty bowling companion – a tall lanky blonde who looked like a model. Definitely NOT his wife Alice. But don’t jump to conclusions. A nearby bowler took a close look that revealed while Nic was laughing and having fun with the unidentified young woman – he was treating her in a platonic, almost “fatherly” way. Too many people got interested in the pair, and Nic and his mystery companion left after one game.

HERSTORY AT ITS BEST

mariestill01cut%5B1%5D.jpg
If you ever sat dozing and daydreaming while a high school history teacher bored you to DEATH with endless and meaningless dates, you’re going to LOVE Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. History never had it so good! -maybe because it’s a historical story from a woman’s point of view, for a change. She presents real human figures we can IDENTIFY with – not just stiff one dimensional characters. Sofia focuses on the everyday life of these famous people – how they dressed, how they shopped, how they amused themselves, what amazing foods they ate, and how they GOSSIPED about each other. Did you realize gossip and hairdressers have been around for CENTURIES! And the scenery and set decoration is beyond lush. It’s a feast for the eyes. THANK YOU, Sofia, for making history fun!

HE'S A REAL CATCH

What exactly IS it that Jennifer Lopez sees in Marc Anthony? We’ve pondered this question since Jennifer backed out of her engagement to hunky Ben Affleck to take up with ordinary looking Marc. Early on, Jennifer confided to a close friend that Marc was “the best sex she ever had.” But we suspected there was even more to it. Finally, a friend who spent time with the couple has supplied the answer. “Marc is well mannered and incredibly charming. He seems sincere and genuine and makes you feel important. He’s very respectful of Jennifer and romantic at the same time. They are always considerate of each other, so it’s a pleasure to watch them interact.” NOW we get it.

GUILTY AS CHARGED

Jamie Foxx has been found guilty of having questionable taste. Satuday night the Oscar winner and a group of buddies were partying at Xenii,and Karrine Steffans AKA “Superhead” joined them at their table. (She’s the Video Vixen who wrote the detailed book about her sexcapades with celebrities) Jamie seemed to enjoy her attention and she returned to hang with him several times during the evening. Recently Karrine had been keeping company with Bobby Brown, but he’s been in Las Vegas filming his reality show. At closing time (5 AM) Jamie and Karrine left TOGETHER, prompting an observer to shrug “He better watch out or he’ll end up a chapter in her next book!”

WE TOLD YOU SO!

6brandoncut.jpg
Wow- it’s even worse than we thought! We told you about Brandon Davis‘s financial woes last week and now Page Six has revealed even MORE details! Besides flying COACH and giving up limos, Page Six says that Brandon BOUNCED a ten thousand dollar check to Joe Francis and owes money to Scott Storch and George Maloof. Joe still wants his money and his complaints are encouraging Brandon’s other creditors to come out of the woodwork. Brandon denies everything, but we figure this is just the tip of the iceberg. Nobody feels sorry for him because of his arrogant and obnoxious behavior when he may have HAD money.

LIFE IMITATES ART

standoff_1_800x600CUT.jpg
A month ago you couldn’t drive down the street in LA without running into a billboard for the new Fox series “Standoff.” “Sex and the City” boyfriend Ron Livingston was heavily promoted as an FBI hostage negotiator having a secret affair with his coworker played by Rosemarie DeWitt. Ratings started high but they’ve been dwindling and producers and actors are scrambling to save the show. Meanwhile it seems the show’s stars have become more than friends. When they started the show Ron and Rosemarie were both linked to others, but they became inseparable on the set. The costars always have lunch together – ALONE together. They’ve been seen touching and whispering intimately when they think no one is looking. It’s the talk of the set and the latest setside rumor has it that Ron and Rosemarie have broken up with their partners and are now both FREE. Coincidence? We doubt it.

BECK'S GOT A SECRET

beck_interview1002_2.jpg
They don’t want you to know it, but it looks like Beck and his wife of two years Marissa Ribisi are expecting again. Devout Scientologists, the pair were highly secretive about their marriage and the birth of their first child. (Marissa is Giovanni Ribisi‘s twin sister.) They never disclosed the due date of their first baby, Cosimo Henri, and the actual birth date is unknown. Like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the exact LOCATION of the first birth is also unknown – possibly it happened at home. Marissa has been seen around town wearing loose maternity tops with a distinct tummy so we can only predict the baby will come early next year.
