ROD STEWART’S EX-WIVES AND KIDS ALL GET ALONG

While Rod Stewart is off in Europe somewhere with his latest family, it seems some of his children and ex-wives got together in Los Angeles. Kimberly Stewart posted this photo on Instagram. In the back row you can see Rod’s ex-wives Alana Stewart and former model Rachel Hunter, both looking good. In front: Renee Stewart (Rachel’s kid) and Alana’s daughter Kimberly with HER daughter Delilah Del Toro, next are Ruby and Liam (model Kelly Emberg’s kids) and Sean Stewart, Alana’s son. Rod has a total of eight children now. It’s nice that all the half siblings in this convoluted family make an effort to get together, even when Rod’s not around.

KEEPING UP WITH THE CICCONES

No chance of Madonna being lonely over the holidays. She has a full house with her family alone. Everybody got together for Thanksgiving and Madonna posted this family portrait on Instagram. From left: Lourdes Leon, 24, (she inherited her mother’s eyebrows) finished her 4 years at the University of Michigan where she studied music and theater. She’s now modeling (Miu Miu, Stella McCartney etc) and looking for acting jobs in New York. Next to her is dapper David – he’s athletic and studies at a soccer academy in Portugal. The twins Estere and Stella are seven and they study piano and voice like their sister Mercy, 14, on far right. Rocco Ritchie (in a suit and tie) is 20, lives in London, and he’s studying fine arts at Central Saint Martins in London. Rocco turned out to be the fashionista in the family – loves to dress like a 1940’s gangster and has impressive style.

WILL FERRELL COULD BE EITHER A FUN OR ANNOYING ISOLATION PARTNER

Having Will Ferrell for a father MUST relieve some of the boredom of social isolation these days. Will took his wife Viveca and his two youngest sons, Axel, 10, and Mattias, 13, plus the family dogs, for a walk today. They all had the required masks and Will wore a Navarro Cheer sweatshirt- promoting a Netflix series about the Navarro Community College Cheer Squad. Will probably has a soft spot for cheerleaders because HE often played one on Saturday Night Live back in the 90’s in skits with Cheri Oteri…

coronavirus Family Kanye West Social Isolation

KANYE WEST IS ISOLATING ALONE IN HIS OFFICE- WHAT’S UP?

Kanye West has either been driven crazy by his family in isolation together or he is inspired like never before. For the past week, Kanye has been leaving home early in the morning to head out to the massive building where his fashion offices are located. The huge parking lot is empty except for Kanye’s Lamborghini and his bodyguards’ car. At lunchtime the guards run out to a nearby McDonald’s and bring food back for their boss. Is isolation with his rambunctious family more than Kanye can bear? Or is he simply overflowing with design ideas?

Family Weird Al Yankovic

“WEIRD AL” YANKOVIC HAS A NORMAL LOOKING FAMILY

Seems like “Weird Al” Yankovic has been around forever making those song parodies and playing his accordion. Actually he started in the 80’s with ”Straight Outta Lynwood, ” and our favorite “Another one Rides the Bus” – a parody of the Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust.” He brought his pretty wife Suzanne and cute daughter Nina to the premier of Knives Out.

NICK CAVE’S PERSONAL TRAGEDY

Can’t remember the last time we saw goth-rocker Nick Cave with his wife, designer Susie Bick, and his son Earl,19, so it was nice to see them at the LACMA Art & Film Gala. We didn’t realize that the family survived an awful tragedy four years ago. Earl’s twin brother Arthur was only fifteen when he experimented with LSD, became disoriented, fell off a cliff and died not far from the family home in the UK. Susie was so distraught she nearly gave up her fashion business, but she says it was her work that eventually helped her heal. Nick says the experience changed him and his music forever.

Family Julia Louis-Dreyfus Seinfeld VEEP

JULIA LOUIS- DREYFUS: MY TWO SONS

Julia Louis-Dreyfus seems to have such a close and non-problematic family considering her success. Julia met her husband, actor/writer Brad Hall, when they were both studying at Northwestern, and they were both hired at Saturday Night Live at the same time. They married in 1987 and had two sons – meanwhile Julia started piling up Emmys for Seinfeld and Veep. Both Charlie, 22, on the left, and Henry, 27, right, graduated from college. Her sweet sons surprised Julia with a video they made to Michael Jackson’s Beat It! when she finished her last day of chemo for breast cancer. Henry is pursuing a career in music, and since he had a cameo on VEEP, Charlie is interested in acting.

American Music Awards Bobby Brown Family Whitney Houston

DOES BOBBY BROWN REMINISCE ABOUT THE OLD DAYS?

Bobby Brown looks like a typical suburban dad now, but we remember when he was a hot commodity. We met Bobby years ago at the after-party for the AMA show. That’s when he was riding high with New Edition, but Bobby was really funny, friendly and likeable. So we were not surprised when Whitney Houston fell hard for him. She was almost pathologically jealous of him- she would track him down at a party somewhere and show up and surprise him! (before cellphones) Once we remember him at a party, ducking into a back room looking guilty when word got out that Whitney was at the front door asking for him. He loved her, but he WAS mischievous. Anyway, we bet Bobby’s kids wouldn’t believe that their dad was once a casanova…

Blake Shelton Family Gwen Stefani

NO DOUBT, IT’S FAMILY FIRST FOR GWEN STEFANI

Easter is a big day for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton and her three sons. First the group went to church together and afterward they stopped off at Ralph’s supermarket on La Brea (our neighborhood!) to pick up some snacks -cheese, drinks etc. (Our spy says they shopped like a married couple) Armed with treats, the family plus one, arrived at the home of Gwen’s parents for holiday dinner. Blake really seems to get along with Gwen’s sons.

Bruce Willis Family Intoxicated Recovery

WASTED BRUCE WILLIS: NOT AS FUNNY AS IT LOOKS

We have to admit we got a laugh out of seeing an intoxicated Bruce Willis being helped out of Annabel’s in London and plopped into his ride by two doormen. At second thought, maybe it’s NOT that funny. Bruce, a former bartender, has been mostly on the wagon in recovery for years, until not long ago when he admitted that he indulged in “a little wine” occasionally. Oops. It so happens that all three of his daughters have also been in recovery, so the desire NOT to drink runs in the family.
