Wayne Gretzky and his wife Janet Jones, both 53, have had an unusually long Hollywood marriage – in spite of his predilection for flirting. The hockey champ and his actress/Playboy pinup wife Janet have five kids and celebrate their 26th anniversary this year. Wayne played for Canada until he wed Janet, and then they moved to Los Angeles for her budding career as an actress. Janet was said to have one of the best bodies of all time. She never became a big star but was kept busy with the family. Above, the couple is leaving a restaurant and fans still clamor for Wayne’s autograph.

STEVIE NICKS GOES HER OWN WAY – ON CAMERA

It’s a rock star reunion at the London premier of “Stevie Nicks: In Your Dreams.“ Dave Stewart directed the documentary about 70’s rocker Stevie’s writing and recording of her first solo album in 10 years. We are always amazed at the number of fans that Stevie still has. Above are Dave on the left, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie.

DAVID BOWIE HAILS HIS OWN CABS

#davidbowie #janetcharlton

All we know is, we can never get enough of David Bowie. He seems so reclusive and it’s always a treat to see him. He’s sold around 140 million records, but hasn’t performed live since 2006. Bowie, 65, just seems to live quietly with his wife Iman and their 12 year old daughter Alexandria – only occasionally venturing out for a museum or charity event. Today he was “Under Pressure” to grab a cab at rush hour in New York, and he DID manage to do so.

BRITT EKLAND IS STILL A BOND GIRL

#brittekland #jamesbond #janetcharlton

1974 Bond Girl Britt Ekland is looking quite fabulous. Swedish Britt was one of the hottest blondes in the 70’s – Peter Sellers proposed to her after seeing a photo in a magazine. She also dated Rod Stewart and married Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom. You might remember, Britt and Peter’s daughter Victoria was Heidi Fleiss’s best friend and involved in her Hollywood madam scandal. Britt, 69, made a London appearance to promote the Blu-Ray Collection of James Bond films celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Bond movie.

MORGAN FAIRCHILD LOOKS LIKE IT’S STILL 1978 – IN A GOOD WAY

#morganfairchild #janetcharlton

Whenever we see Morgan Fairchild we marvel at how little she changes. Her first big role was on Dallas in 1978 and she’s been a regular fixture on sitcoms and series TV – mostly playing rich bitches – ever since. Besides playing Sandra Bernhard’s bisexual girlfriend on Roseanne, she played Chandler’s mother on Friends. Morgan has always had that big haired Texas beauty queen look and she still does! She appeared above, signing autographs at the Comikaze Expo at the LA Convention Center this weekend.

A WHITE CHRISTMAS WITH BILLY IDOL IS JUST WHAT WE HAD IN MIND

We never imagined we’d be seeing Billy Idol singing “White Christmas” wearing a suit and tie, but here it is. And we love it. He doesn’t even need the black leather, does he? This song is from Billy’s 2006 album Happy Holidays (A Very Special Christmas Album.) Stephen Saban at The WOW Report dug up this video and it brings back all kinds of warm Billy Idol memories… Where has he BEEN?

LONG TIME NO SEE: “WILLARD ” STAR CRISPIN GLOVER

Whatever happened to Crispin Glover? He appeared in the 80’s as an eccentric character in several movies such as “River’s Edge,” “Back to the Future” and “At Close Range.” His private life was every bit as odd as his characters. He could frequently be seen riding around Hollywood on his vintage bicycle and lived in the same seedy Hollywood building where Johnny Depp lived. Glover had a gynecologist table with stirrups in his living room. He wrote over fifteen books, directed a film called “What Is It?” in which all the actors had Down Syndrome, and recently appeared in “Hot Tub Time Machine.” Above , the 47 year old actor retains his individuality and appears to have a hot girlfriend.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY: BRITT EKLAND

Bond Girl Britt Ekland, 67, is quite a survivor- she lived through relationships with Peter Sellers (they had a daughter Victoria,) Rod Stewart, and Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom, among others. Back in the 70’s, Britt was one of the hottest and most photographed international celebrities. In 2004, Charlize Theron was appropriately cast to play Britt in “The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.” Still glamorous Britt is pictured here leaving the BBC studios with a bandaged hand – perhaps the result of her publicized osteoporosis.
