WHEN RIHANNA GETS THE MUNCHIES

THIS is how Rihanna usually looks when she and ASAP Rocky have dinner at her favorite restaurant, Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica. She’s been crazy about this restaurant’s food since she was 18, and eats there as often as three times a week! Last Monday, pregnant Rihanna got a craving for their pasta and her boyfriend was not around. She didn’t want to put on makeup and get dressed up, so clad in sweats, she had her driver take her to the restaurant in her roomy Escalade. They parked outside and had food delivered to her car on glass plates. She always orders the SAME three pasta dishes- 1/2 portion of asparagus ravioli with ricotta cheese, homemade gnocci, and spaghetti pomodoro with basil. She spent two leisurely hours eating outside in her car and left with a large bag of food to go.

OUR TWO FAVORITE ROOMS IN THE NEW AFFLECK/LOPEZ HOUSE

While Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on their Italian honeymoon (with their kids, no less!) work has begun on the new 60 million dollar 29,000 sq ft Beverly Hills house they bought before they left. They kept the purchase a big secret and nobody knows exactly what they paid for it, but billionaire James Packer once owned it. You already know it has 7 bedrooms and everything else a human could want, but after checking out the photos we picked out the two rooms we love most. The first is the amazingly well-equipped beauty salon that will keep the blended families looking their best. Sigh. Drool. The second desirable room also made us dizzy with envy- it’s the closet – and it looks like an expensive boutique. Now THAT’S breathtaking luxury…

OUR FAVORITE LOOK FROM NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

Here’s something we’ve never seen before (and when it comes to fashion, that’s unusual) and a designer we’re not familiar with – Sandy Liang showed her Summer 2020 collection and we fell in love with this photo. We’re not sure if the asymmetrical tulle ruffle is attached to the pants or the jacket, but we love the model and the entire look.
