VICTORIA HAS MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT BECKHAM DOCUMENTARY

If he could do it all over again, David Beckham might have not produced his documentary on Netflix, BECKHAM. Although it’s quickly turned into a huge hit for the streaming giant and added more money to David’s bank account, we heard that it’s taken a toll on his marriage to Victoria Beckham. The documentary explores everything David – including his infidelities – and it open up old wounds for Victoria. My source says that Victoria would have preferred NOT to reopen this can of worms and her resentments towards David, which she thought were long gone, have suddenly resurfaced…

 

 

BOB DYLAN WAS A CHUBBY CHASER

Bob Dylan is in the news this week because he sold his songwriting catalog to Universal. There was some discussion that he had so many disgruntled ex-girlfriends and children (exactly how MANY children is unknown) that he could use the money. It brought back memories of a night backstage at the Palace theater in Hollywood in the early 90’s when we were outside Jerry Lee Lewis’s dressing room backstage and Bob Dylan had a path cleared by bodyguards so he could walk in ahead of us. He actually looked so unwashed and scuzzy that we quickly stepped back – and out of his way. In those days Bob was a bigtime womanizer and known as a chubby chaser. He had a penchant for pretty black women who were obese, and had a string of them all over town. Maybe some were backup singers, but most were ordinary secretaries and schoolteachers. He wasn’t very sociable so we wondered how he found them (no internet in those days!)

IS LA TOYA JACKSON IN CHARGE OF HER OWN LIFE NOW?

La Toya Jackson looks like she has some doubts about the manicure she just got in Beverly Hills. Significantly, she’s in the company of another woman – NOT Jeffre Phillips, whom she “almost” married. Jeffre was acting as her manager after she divorced Jack Gordon. We are reminded of a visit to Paris in 1992 when LaToya was performing (scantily clad) at the Moulin Rouge nightclub. Jack invited us to see the show and visit backstage. LaToya graciously showed us her wardrobe and she and Jack took us to the hottest club in Paris at the time, where they rolled out the red carpet for her. Hard to imagine, but it looks like La Toya is single and managing her own career now.
