RIHANNA IS A FRIEND IN DEED

It’s Rihanna to the rescue after model/ actress Cara Delevingne’s home in Studio City, California, recently burned to the ground. Although she was working in London at the time, the California pad was Cara’s main residence. Her lifetime collection of almost everything was there! Luckily for Cara, her longtime friend Rihanna happens to own two condos in LA’s ritzy building, The Century. Soon after the devastating fire, sympathetic Rihanna reached out to her pal and INSISTED she stay at one of the condos for FREE until she finds another home to buy or rebuilds the one she lost.

OPRAH IS RAKING IN THE BUCKS FOR MAUI



Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle quietly made a $250,000 donation to Oprah Winfrey’s efforts to raise money for Maui. Oprah has a sprawling 2000 plus acre estate on the tropical island and her Montecito, California neighbors Harry and Meg have a standing invitation to use the property whenever they want. According to a friend, Harry and Meghan were actually planning to spend Christmas with her mom and some friends at Oprah’s Maui home. Those plans have been paused for now, while the island heals from the devastating fires. Oprah has been asking her pals to donate and in addition to the $10 million her fund STARTED with, she’s already close to DOUBLED that amount in a matter of days…

WHO IS THE SMART KARDASHIAN?

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s 60 million dollar home was directly threatened by the Woolsey wildfire last Friday and SOMEONE there had the presence of mind to HIRE a group of guys to do everything possible to fend off the fire. According to TMZ, the guys dug ditches, manned hoses and did everything firefighters do to protect a home and it WORKED. There are never enough firefighters when California has a catastrophe, so this is a brilliant solution for those who can afford it. We can’t help but wonder WHICH Kardashian came up with this excellent idea.

ASHLEY GREENE’S NEIGHBORS: THERE’S MORE TO THIS FIRE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Since Ashley Greene burned up her West Hollywood condo, her suspicious neighbors are all riled up. She claims that a candle set her couch on fire and that’s what started the blaze which completely destroyed her apartment, killed her dog, and badly damaged her neighbors homes and the hallways. The fire caused millions of dollars of smoke damage and building residents are NOT happy. They think her late night partying had more to do with it than just a candle – (maybe drugs?) she had people coming and going at all hours and noise complaints all the time. It’s a good thing she earned a lot of Twilight money because she’s going to be getting a ton of lawsuits.

COURTNEY LOVE; PLAYING WITH FIRE

Whatever’s going on in Courtney Love’s life right now, it can’t be good. Radaronline reports that firemen were called to her New York residence at 2 AM this morning because her drapes caught on fire. She only had slight burns on her hands and refused treatment. But how freaked out must her landlord be? Since February, she’s been renting a $27,000 a month luxury townhome in the West Village that appeared in Architectural Digest two years ago. We’re betting the place won’t be so photogenic when she departs. (Above, she’s with Jack Donoghue of the band Salem, who may or may not be her boyfriend.)

According to our eyewitness, Ashley Olsen remained calm during her close call on that Ny to LA United flight that had to make an “unscheduled” landing at Dulles Airport. “Ashley had four seats in a row in business class – one for her, her boyfriend Justin Bartha, her French bulldog puppy, and her bodyguard. The people in first class were really frightened because they saw the flames and smoke coming out of the cockpit.” Attendants raced around grabbing fire extinguishers, but passenger Phil Lobel, (traveling with his adorable dog Lucy) a Hollywood publicist, told us he didn’t realize how serious the situation was until he saw all the firetrucks and emergency equipment waiting for them at Dulles airport. The passengers, including Ashley, all met in the bar to toast “being alive” after the successful landing.
