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.

SIMON COWELL IS IN NO DANGER OF DROWNING

Year after year, like clockwork, Simon Cowell, 59, spends the Christmas holidays in Barbados. In years past he vacationed with various girlfriends, but since they’ve been together, he spends his winter vacation with Lauren Silverman, 41, and their four year old son Eric. Funny thing is, he never takes off that life vest. Every day Simon enjoys the beach and occasionally jet-skis, but he seems to have developed a fondness for that vest and never takes it off. (We see paparazzi photos daily) He usually has a New Years Eve party at the Sandy Lane Resort there, so we assume he will surrender the vest for that occasion…

DINNER IN BEVERLY HILLS WITH ADAM SANDLER

Adam Sandler took his family out to dinner dressed like THIS (he always dresses like a little boy- usually with a baseball cap,) but this time it’s no big deal. Adam and his wife Jackie (a former model) and their daughter Sadie, 12, had a casual meal at The Brighton Coffee Shop. For those who hate Adam Sandler movies, he is currently working on Uncut Gems, in which Adam is merely acting and has nothing to do with the script. It’s actually expected to be a decent film

NICK NOLTE CLEANS UP NICELY FOR HIS FAMILY

So nice to see Nick Nolte NOT wandering around Malibu in pajamas with uncombed hair. Today he shopped at the Trancas market with his wife Clytie Lane and their 11 year old daughter Sophie – and his hair is combed and he’s dressed appropriately in linen. Nick, 77, also has a handsome 32 year old son Brawley from another relationship, who’s also an actor. And Nick keeps busy – he has a couple of movies coming out next year.

WOODY HARRELSON’S NICE LIFE: HE LEFT MAUI TO VISIT THE AMALFI COAST

You don’t often get to see Woody Harrelson looking like a happy family man – maybe because he lives in Maui and there aren’t so many paparazzi. But this week he was visiting the Amalfi Coast in Italy with his wife Laura and his excited 12 year old daughter Makani. Laura was his personal assistant before they married in 2008. They have two other daughters – Deni, 25 and Zoe, 21, not along for the trip. He was Oscar nominated for “Three Billboards,” but Woody’s next film is Marvel’s Venom with Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams, coming in October.

Interesting note: Woody’s not looking at his phone – he’s carrying a deck of cards…

ALEC BALDWIN HOPES TO IMPRESS HIS FAMILY WITH AN EMMY

It’s complicated when Alec Baldwin and his family come to Beverly Hills. Alec, 59, took his wife Hilaria, 33, and their three kids, Carmen, Leonardo, and Rafael, along with two strollers and two nannies, out for lunch and a walk. Alec is nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Emmy for his take-off of Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live. The whole family came to LA to cheer him on and he and Hilaria will hit a few pre-Emmy parties. Alec’s “Trump” character is already booked to open the new season of SNL.

IT’S A GOOD YEAR FOR JOHN GOODMAN

We don’t often see John Goodman, 64, and his family because they live in New Orleans, but they all turned up for his Walk of Fame ceremony this week. Goodman is a lucky guy – he’s been married since 1989 and his long-suffering wife Annabeth has put up with a LOT. John has had a major problem with alcohol over the years and he finally got sober in 2007. And of course, he also has a problem with FOOD and has weighed up to 400 lbs! He seems to have his life in control now, and he helped his daughter Molly find work as a Production Assistant. We LOVED John in last year’s 10 Cloverfield Lane.

JAMES CORDEN’S ADVENTURES IN LA LA LAND

James Corden, 38, and his wife Julia dropped off their impossibly cute kids at school together. His Late Late Show started with low expectations, but now he’s being hailed as the new King of Late Night TV thanks to his Carpool Karoake videos. Corden’s songfest with Adele in his car was the most watched video on YouTube in 2016. He proved that TV ratings aren’t everything. After James dropped off Max, 6, and Carey, 2, at school in Brentwood, he and Julia drove away in his black Aston Martin convertible. This Brit is livin’ the LA life….

VIN DIESEL LOOKS GOOD AS A DAD

Vin Diesel made his cute little girl Hania, 7, really happy this week – he took her to a Beyonce concert. She got all dressed up for the event! Actually Vin’s whole family was there – his Mexican model girlfriend of 9 years, Paloma Jimenez, and their two other kids. Their youngest is named Pauline, after Vin’s Fast & Furious late costar Paul Walker. After the show he hustled them all into his van. Only recently did action star Vin become less secretive about his life and more public with his family.
