Is Nicole Richie devouring a hamburger simply to please her “boyfriend” Brody Jenner – or to please the photographer documenting the incident? We still have our doubts about this relationship – especially since Brody was seen Friday night at Xenii with ANOTHER blonde. Coincidentally or not, Kristin Cavallari was also there with a group of girls but she kept her distance from Brody. Maybe Nicole was at home digesting that hamburger.
Here I am with my friend Nelson Aspen in 1997 – the stories we shared would make even Travolta’s agent blush!
While Jim Carrey waited outside with his motor running in a white SUV, Jenny McCarthy clip clopped into Gelson’s at closing time in Pacific Palisades , wearing black patent stilettoes and a tight miniskirt . She left with a tiny bag of “personal necessities…” Lisa Rinna, picking up still more dance shoes and workout wear at Capezio in Hollywood. The shop is a landmark – it’s been there since 1960… Kiefer Sutherland looking not only clean and sober but “clean cut and well groomed” at California Pizza Kitchen on Sunset… What would Brandy think? Her brother Ray J was seen at Xenii consorting with video vixen Karinne Steffans…..

Prince pulled up in his chauffeured limo at Xenii Friday night and he saw a huge scene outside. It was an unusually large and lively crowd at the entrance of the club. He got an IDEA. He dropped off several girls in the car with him and he turned around and went right home. Apparently he decided THIS was the perfect opportunity to show off his new two door Bentley. He returned in the drivers seat of his new car which had an amazing paint job – depending on the light it went from purple to blue and several other colors. It was a staggering sight and he got out of the car with a flourish to reveal he was wearing a matching SUIT of the same light reflecting colors. The club crowd gasped and pulled out their cell phones to take pictures. Has anybody out there got one to show me?
A charter airline pilot told us that he had to kick a very famous blonde celebrity off his plane leaving for New York last month. He said “The flight hadn’t even taken off and she started smoking something with a distinct metallic chemical odor. Someone later told me it must have been crack. We warned her to extinguish the cigarette – any kind of smoking is forbidden, She stalled, saying “Just chill – I’m almost done. ” She WOULDN’T stop smoking! We were furious with her and forced her to get off the plane. Her luggage was dumped on the tarmac beside her. Her publicist got off also and was unfazed – he just flipped his phone and started making other arrangements.”
Speaking of Chris Klein – it’s been a few months and he’s still with his Day Zero costar Ginnifer Goodwin. (She’s also on the TV series Big Love) They were spotted together several times in New York this summer (once she sported a major hickey on her neck) and now they’re back in LA – seen Friday at Dominick’s. Her eerie resemblence to Chris’s ex girlfriend Katie Holmes seems to get onlookers all worked up.
Whitney Houston IS declaring her independence from Bobby Brown. She’s no longer leaving the driving to HIM. On Friday she was seen at the DMV in Hollywood where she apparently renewed her driver’s license. She looked focused and must have passed her test because she had her picture taken before she left.
Acting VERY single, Jared Leto went to a couple of fashion shows in New York – probably checking out the models and fashionistas. According to a fashion insider “The stars always act like big divas when they come to these shows- they don’t stand in line – they’re walked directly to their seats with plenty of parting of the seas, etc.” Not Jared. He insisted on waiting in line with everybody else. When asked about it, he said, “This is chaos from hell at it’s best – and that’s exactly what it SHOULD be. I actually enjoy it.” So did the girls he mingled with in line, we bet.
We can’t help but wonder what’s going on with Zahara’s lips. Did she just wake up after sleeping on her face? A bad photo angle? Or is it something more serious that we never noticed before? Can any mothers out there explain this? It would NOT be easy to have unattractive lips in a family so famous for their puckers, so let’s hope for the best.
