Janet Charlton's
HOLLYWOOD

SORRY SIR, THAT'S NOT ON THE MENU

This actor enjoys playing wise cracking heroes and cops and his characters are usually quick on the draw. Maybe that affinity for guns has carried over into his private life. The guy was dining alone at the fancy Belvedere restaurant in the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. Out of the blue he turned to the waiter and said evenly “I need a gun.” The waiter gulped and the actor continued “Do you carry a gun? I need to borrow it right now!” The actor seemed agitated and the frightened waiter told him he didn’t have a gun. The server reported the conversation to the manager and the manager hastened to calm the actor down. The meal ended without incident, but the servers are still talking about the strange encounter.

CAN'T LET GO

MendesJoaquin.jpg
The TALK of fashion week in New York is not puff sleeves – it’s the apparent coupling of Eva Mendes and Joaquin Phoenix and their fervent denials. Not long ago they finished the movie “We Own the Night ” but can’t seem to let go of each other. Despite the fact that they have been seen together numerous times looking QUITE affectionate (including last Thursday according to Rush & Molloy,) Eva flatly denies a romance. She insists she still has her live-in boyfriend – a handsome film maker named George Gargurevich, but they are rarely seen out together. We sense the makings of a love triangle.

LAST LAUGH

no6lus.jpg
We could hardly wait to get our hands on the new issue of Frontiers because we heard there was Kathy Griffin scoop in it. Sure enough, there was one of Kathy’s “main gays” on the cover. Remember her two “best gays” that were prominently featured in the first season of her show “My Life on the D-List?” Before the series even aired they had been banished from her life. After ten years of friendship. Handsome Tony Tripoli revealed WHY. He insists it had NOTHING to do with the fact that they were not paid to be on the show. He says the friendship didn’t end over one specific argument – it was what he calls “A blossoming lack of kindness and gratitude” on her part. (We suspect it COULD have something to do with the way she treated her husband Matt.) Tony says “I want to live in a world with a little more kindness.” Tony has a role on new series Fashion House and he might be amused to hear that Kathy was seen last weekend flying ECONOMY on Southwest to Oakland where she took the SHUTTLE (no limo) to her show in Napa.

SCOWL FOR THE CAMERA

Judging by his past badmouthing of this site, Dave Navarro isn’t going to like the following piece of information ONE BIT. Despite Dave’s protestations, readers of this site already KNOW who the winner of Rockstar Supernova will be. We have another tidbit of incriminating evidence to reveal: Promotional photos have ALREADY BEEN TAKEN of the winner with his new band! Major gigs for the band are in the works – including what will be a highly publicized New Years Eve show. New readers might be advised to click here and visit the original item that started what we hear is a firestorm at CBS.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES

Victoria and David Beckham never disappoint us. Despite their personal problems, they remain style icons – the best dressed, coolest looking couple in the universe! They’re stylishly rumpled and low key so they don’t look like they’re trying too hard. We never get tired of looking at these two.

HE TRIES HARDER

SENT_Wallpaper1280_01.jpg
We love celebrities with good manners and professional behavior. And Michael Douglas fills the bill. A journalist friend of ours was at a press junket for Michael’s movie The Sentinal (which we liked) and the actor had to crank out five minute TV interviews with dozens of reporters from everywhere, one after another for days on end. It ‘s exhausting and repititious answering those questions over and over and many actors become cranky and impatient. Not only did Michael keep his cool and sense of humor, but he had his people do research and prepared for EACH quickie interview. He went out of his way to greet each reporter by name -he introduced himself to the newcomers and said “Nice to see you again” to the familiar faces. The journalists agreed it was a RARE occurrence and illustrated that OLD Hollywood stars are way more educated about common courtesy and dealing with the press.

SEX & THE CITY IN 1774

Fashionistas might assume these are five Vivienne Westwood models backstage waiting to hit the runway. A close inspection reveals it’s actually our own little Kirsten Dunst dolled up as the 19 year old queen of France, Marie Antoinette, surrounded by her ladies in waiting. That’s what they called girlfriends in those days.

A GIRL AND HER DOG

Okay, sometimes we get tired of looking at pictures of photogenic Jessica Simpson – because there are SO many of them around ! But we can’t get enough of her little Maltipoo Daisy – in this pic Daisy seems to be pointing Jessica in the right direction. We doubt that it’s toward John Mayer.

THE BAND PLAYED ON

All is not well in Bon Joviland. Richie Sambora’s bandmates in Bon Jovi are NOT thrilled with his escalating romance with Denise Richards. “When Denise is around the band is polite but not really friendly. They miss Heather. ” Jon Bon Jovi, who married his childhood sweetheart Dorothea, LOOKS like a player but he’s actually a devoted family man. “He has plenty of opportunities but he doesn’t fool around with fans” says an insider close to the band. Jon and the other bandmembers love Richie’s ex Heather and “they don’t say anything to Richie, but behind his back they think he’s a fool. They think Heather was filet mignon and Richie chose hamburger.”

HAIRDO OF THE MONTH

Maybe the fact that Scarlett Johansson just got back from Italy explains this Dolce Vita bouffant. She has that Italian starlet in the 60’s look – pale lips and all. Don’t scowl, this could be the beginning of a new tease and spray fad that will sweep the country.
