TOM HOLLAND: TINY SPIDER-MAN TO THE RESCUE

Tom Holland is suited up in his new Spider-Man costume while filming a scene in New York with his on-camera love interest, Zendaya. They’re just wrapping up the last scenes for Spider-Man: Far From Home. In some scenes it’s very apparent that 5’ 10” Zendaya is quite a bit taller than her leading man – especially when he’s rescuing her from one thing or another. Height is no problem in real life – it’s entirely possible that Zendaya and Tom are a couple, but their lips are sealed.

Cher Diet Height Height Challenged Weight

CHER DOESN’T HAVE TO DIET – SHE JUST GETS TALLER!

You gotta give Cher some credit – she figured out a whole new way to feel thinner without giving up ice cream or the other yummy desserts she loves. She lies about her HEIGHT! Back in the 1970’s Cher admitted to being 5’6” and she still towered over her husband Sonny Bono. In the eighties she claimed to be ALMOST 5’8”, and currently she insists she is officially 5’9”. Having been to her yard sale years ago, we KNOW she is 5’5” to 5’6” at the MOST. (We tried on her clothes!) Cher figures that if she is 5’9,” she can eat more and whatever she weighs (135 lbs?) looks like LESS because she’s tall. Above, the Mamma Mia star is enjoying ice cream in St Tropez, and of course she looks great, height notwithstanding…

Elevator Shoes Height Challenged Mission Impossible Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE STILL WANTS THOSE EXTRA INCHES

Tom Cruise is home in London promoting his new Mission Impossible movie and signing autographs. It appears that his daughter Suri was not invited to the premiere. One thing never changes – Tom is wearing some new elevator shoes with built-in lifts that make him even taller than the old ones he bought in Beverly Hills…

Height Challenged Platform Shoes Robert DeNiro

ROBERT DENIRO NEEDS THOSE EXTRA INCHES

Must be hard for observers to keep a straight face when Robert DeNiro films The Irishman wearing these high platforms. DeNiro’s character in the Scorsese film, is Frank “The Irishman“ Sheehan, the labor union mobster who killed the corrupt Teamsters Union President Jimmy Hoffa. Sheehan was 6’4” and towered over Hoffa, played by 5’7” Al Pacino. Martin Scorsese had a wardrobe of Tom Cruise style height enhancing footwear built for DeNiro.

Bruno Mars Elevator Shoes Height Challenged Victoria's Secret

BRUNO MARS IN HIGH HEELS

Bruno Mars livened up the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in Paris with his energetic music (we’re never quite sure what the point of these underwear shows is) but the most fun part was Bruno dancing around the statuesque models in his fur coat. The 5’5” dynamo was prepared for the event – he wore his HIGHEST HEELS! Heels on the outside of his boot were at least 3 inches, and it was evident that the inside was equally built up by the way his pants bunched over the boots. Did he visit Tom Cruise’s shoemaker for special lifts? Even with the extra inches Bruno was dwarfed by the models in stilettos, but that’s one of the things we love about him.

Caitlyn Jenner Height Challenged

CAITLYN JENNER NEEDS TO GET SOME TALLER FRIENDS

The good news is that Caitlyn Jenner was invited to a birthday party for one of the Sultan of Brunei’s sons at the posh Ambassador Casino in London. This causes one to ponder many questions such as “how did Caitlyn become friends with the Bruneis?” News to us. At first glance this photo looks like trick photography, but Caitlyn is, indeed, THAT much taller than her friend next to her. And the friend is wearing heels! She’s nicely dressed, but might be a good idea for Caitlyn to think about finding some taller friends so she looks daintier….

Height Challenged Jamie Foxx

SOMETHING WE NEVER KNEW ABOUT JAMIE FOXX

We always thought Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx was rather tall until we saw this photo. He’s in London leaving La Bonbonniere at 3 AM and he looks quite debonair, but he made one mistake. The guy escorting him out the door is tall enough to make Jamie look tiny by comparison. (Maybe that’s why Jamie and Tom Cruise are pals.) Anyway, Jamie claims to be 5’9” so he has Tom beat by a few.

Height Challenged Mary Kate Olsen Olivier Sarkozy

MARY KATE OLSEN’S FIANCEE LOOKS LIKE HER DAD

We knew the Olsen twins were tiny, but this photo makes Mary-Kate, 28, look almost freakishly miniscule! She’s wearing heels and is barely taller than that normal sized man’s elbow. By the way, that towering man happens to be her fiancée Olivier Sarkozy, 45, who may or may not already be her husband. (They have matching gold bands.) Mary-Kate was doing a little shopping on the fancy side of West Hollywood where her Row store is located. She was spotted by paparazzi and tried to hide her face – or maybe her ring.

Haley Joel Osment Height Challenged Nazi

HALEY JOEL OSMENT AND THE CHILD STAR CURSE

When Haley Joel Osment’s name comes up, we always think of him as the sensitive kid in “The Sixth Sense.” Of course, he’s 26 and grown up now and currently filming Kevin Smith’s “Yoga Hosers” with Johnny Depp. Paparazzi caught him on the set in what appears to be a Nazi uniform. Can you imagine a Nazi with that little face and only 5’4” tall? He suffers from the child star curse of being very short.

Elevator Shoes Height Challenged Robert Downey Jr

THE JIG IS UP: ROBERT DOWNEY JR WEARS ELEVATOR SHOES!

Our observant gossip colleague CJ, the gossip reporter for the Minneapolis Star Tribune, took a close look at our recent photo of Robert Downey Jr and declared “Either he has issues with his feet OR he’s wearing elevator sneakers!” She is absolutely RIGHT – those white sneakers COULD be nurse’s shoes, but most likely the 5’8” actor is augmenting his height. At first Downey hesitated to play Iron Man because of his diminutive size, but inches were added inside his character’s boots. Maybe Robert got to like that extra boost and carried it into his private life…
