HAS GEORGE MICHAEL LOST HIS LOOKS?

george_michael.jpg

It’s been fifteen years since his LAST world tour and we’re wondering if George Michael, 43, is up to the world tour he’s starting this fall. Maybe that’s why he’s smoking so much pot. He created a big stir in the UK when he was found passed out in his car sitting in the middle of an intersection near his house. Marijuana was found in the car and it’s believed to be involved in all four of his recent auto skirmishes. Safe driving advocates in England are furious because he continues to drive under the influence and gets away with mere warnings. Whatever he’s doing, it’s NOT improving his appearance.

SEQUINS AND BUGLE BEADS

CherAuction
The Cher auction is all anyone in LA is talking about these days. Friday through Monday all her dark gothic furniture, art, costumes, and memorabilia are on display at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and admission is FREE ! Curators told us the Bob Mackie costumes were stimulating the most interest. He had been storing them all through the years for Cher. Everything from her Laverne leopard TV outfit to the skimpy black sequin g-string she wore in the navy boat video, plus assorted sequin belly button covers from the early years were on display. Most surprising was the level of misbehavior of fans and looky-loos. The curators were afflutter trying to stop teenagers from jumping on Cher’s bed, families lounging on velvet couches, men from putting their feet up on her desk, and EVERYONE from fingering her costumes and trying to see if they’d fit. A giddy man was caught moving a form so he could stand behind it and his friend could take a picture with his head on top of a dress. Not a lot of respect – but tons of fun.

CONTROL

janet_jackson.jpg
Our friend was a Le Deux one recent night when “all of a sudden around ten serious looking large bodyguards in dark suits walked in. They notified the management and immediately started checking out the premises. They cleared a large section of the room, rearranged tables, and set up ropes around the area. With all this preparation we thought the PRESIDENT was about to arrive! But in a few minutes, Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri walked in with a group of friends. They had everyone’s attention as they sat down in their private area. At one point Janet must have told her security guy she was cold because she stood up and lifted her arms and HE PUT HER SWEATER ON FOR HER ” Hey, isn’t that Jermaine’s job?

PRESUMED GUILTY

lindsay_lohan7.jpg
An acquaintance of theirs just told us that that Lindsay Lohan and Harry Morton didn’t really break up at all – they PRETENDED TO so they could get more attention from the press! Who knows what to believe any more? Everyone was feeling sorry for Lindsay and she dragged Stavros Niarchos around town to help her “get over” Harry. Actually it looks like she and Harry are masters at drumming publicity for themselves . This week the pair turned up at perhaps the most photographed restaurant in the world = The Ivy = and pretended to be “working things out” while flashbulbs popped. Give us a break.

A HAPPY FACE

eva_pink3.jpgEva Longoria showed up at the opening of Ken Paves comfy new salon on Robertson Friday night and she announced that she was” tired of being blonde” and planned to go back to her natural color soon. She was chatty and peppy and you’d never guess she was on the outs with her boyfriend Tony Parker. No moping here. Between Jessica Simpson’s boy problems and now Eva’s possible bustup, we can imagine that Ken is getting an earful. And we’re jealous.

NOT JUST ANOTHER COP MOVIE

photo_26.jpg
On paper The Departed seemed like the last movie on earth we’d want to see. A hyper-macho movie – a nearly all male cast, vulgar, violent, horribly bloody. Another cop movie. But are we glad we gave it a chance! We can’t stop thinking about it – the script was smart, the characters were fascinating, the soundtrack added a new level of excitement. We were HOOKED from beginning to end! It’s almost like the Irish version of Goodfellas. It’s THAT good. Martin Scorcese IS a genius. You’re gonna LOVE this movie.

TP Patrol

UCLA‘s private cops thought they’d seen everything until they encountered this respected actor on campus. At first they were thrilled when they happened upon the tall, handsome guy who has played a cop on TV and many movies. They all wanted to shake his hand. But eventually they compared notes and realized he had a nasty habit of lurking in the mens rooms. After observing his suspicious behavior they had no choice but to warn the actor they had so admired, to GET OFF CAMPUS and don’t come back.

WHO'S YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

orlando_bloom40.jpg
The Marie Antoinette premier party at Chateau Marmont was a huge success and the celebrity crowd ignored their diets and feasted on mountains of sweets – inspired by the movie. Revved up partiers couldn’t help gossiping about the movie’s star Kirsten Dunst and her mysterious love life. Since splitting with Jake Gyllenhaal, Kirstin is VERY low key about her personal life. The buzz of the party was that Kirsten and her Elizabethtown costar Orlando Bloom have resumed their romance. Fueling the party rumors was the fact that Orlando was there – but seen lurking behind trees and bushes most of the evening! The fact that he avoided Kirsten – and almost everyone else – but stayed at the event for a long time- seemed suspicious. But lately he’s been seen openly hanging out with Penelope Cruz. Is she a decoy or the real thing?

IS THIS FOR REAL?

tom_cruise_kate_holmescut.jpg
Is this a sinister plot or an odd camera angle – or an accurate portrayal of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? In this recent photo taken at the Beverly Regent Hotel Tom appears miniscule next to his towering girlfriend. She IS wearing high heels but the height difference is startling. Tom’s fans are outraged – they claim people are conspiring to make Tom appear foolish and insist the picture is Photoshopped. They feel this is just the latest form of harrassment against their idol. We don’t know if it’s a joke or not, but it is a hoot.

MR AND MRS SMITH?

anna%20nicole%20smith%20arrival.2jpg
Today Howard K Stern’s dreams came true. According to reports he and Anna Nicole Smith were married in the Bahamas this morning – two days after Howard announced (in a trance-like state) their marriage plans on Larry King Live. Howard always had a strange lawyer -client relationship with Anna. He gave up his law practice to be her full time companion. For years he quietly adored her and did whatever outrageous thing she asked him to do. He was on every episode of her reality show on E! and hung in there while she ballooned in weight and finally lost it all. He was by her side through all sorts of boyfriends (and maybe some girlfriends ) not to mention numerous court appearances. And he was there when she needed a father for her new baby. He never gave up and he got what he always wanted. At least SOMEBODY’S happy!
