ANGELYNE HAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT

We imagined that billboard icon Angelyne was furious when she first learned that Gary Baum had written an expose about her life for The Hollywood Reporter a few years ago. Baum spent months researching the article and revealed that Angelyne was born Renee Goldberg in Poland, to concentration camp survivors. The much talked about article spilled all of Angelyne’s secrets, but eventually she realized that it had made her even MORE famous for being famous! Now she’s executive producing the Angelyne series for Universal so maybe she won’t have to sell t-shirts and merchandise out of her Corvette trunk at Pavilions parking lot any longer. From the looks of this photo of Emmy Rossum, who’s playing Angelyne, the series looks like fun – they even got the pantyhose right!

DO CELEBRITIES VOLUNTEER AT THE LA MISSION SIMPLY FOR THE GOOD PUBLICITY?

It’s a tradition. Every year at holiday time, celebrities turn up at the Los Angeles Mission downtown to dish out Christmas dinner for families on skid row. This year Emmy Rossum, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, and Garcelle Beauvais were among the famous volunteers. We can’t help but wonder if they would actually show up if there were no cameras. (What’s your opinion?) Harrison Ford’s chef son Ben (Ford’s Filling Station) was there cooking, so he was too busy to pose for many photos.
