Angelina Jolie Paris Private Shopping

ANGELINA JOLIE SHOPS TILL SHE DROPS

We can tell by the number of paparazzi photos we see of Angelina Jolie and her kids shopping that the family really loves to shop. Angelina and the kids are in Paris this week and she coaxed a large consumer electronics store called Darty (like our Best Buy?) to stay open from 10 to midnight so that she and Pax could browse alone with no other customers. Darty specializes in household appliances,TVs, home goods, etc at reasonable prices. One person who cannot anticipate a Christmas gift from Darty is, of course, Brad Pitt.

Billionaire Face Facelift Jocelyn Wildenstein Lloyd Klein Paris

JOCELYNE WILDENSTEIN IN PARIS

Former billionaire Jocelyne Wildenstein, 84, and her longtime fiance, fashion designer Lloyd Klein, 57, are still living it up in Paris – hitting designer shops by day, and famous clubs and restaurants in the evening. Jocelyne was granted 2.5 billion when she divorced her wealthy husband, art dealer Alec N Wildenstein, in 1999, but after he died a few years later, she claims she was cut off by his family and was broke. How much money she has spent on plastic surgery and facial injections can only be speculated, but she still has enough money to vacation in style in Paris. Jocelyne’s face might be a warning to anyone considering having their face plumped “just one more time”…

Olympic Games Olympics Paris Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE IS PREPARING FOR THE OLYMPICS

Tom Cruise is going for the gold and participating in the Olympics! Although he still does his own stunts, 61-year-old Tom is NOT becoming an Olympic athlete, but he IS filming a top secret promo for the upcoming summer games. According to an observant insider, Tom recently filmed part of the promo near the famous Hollywood sign – with plans to continue filming in other locations, including the host city of Paris. The games begin in July, so Tom has plenty of time to complete the promo, which will air during the opening ceremonies.

Birkenstock Sandals Celebration Tour Fashion Madonna Paris

MADONNA EXPRESSES HERSELF

Madonna is spending her nights in Paris onstage dressed in incredible fashions created by famous designers, looking spectacular for her Celebration performances. But she’s saving the glamour for the stage. Coming and going to the venue, she is understated, to say the least. She’s wearing a plaid flannel shirt with no-nonsense Birkenstock sandals and socks, along with her usual braids. Maybe her feet need some pampering. She doesn’t take any chances on misplacing her phone – it’s hanging on a strap around her neck. With Taylor Swift and Beyonce’s incredibly successful tours to motivate her, she is expected to earn over 100 million dollars …

Kenzo Offset Pharrell Williams Rapper

RAPPERS RULE AT PARIS FASHION WEEK

Here are two things you don’t see very often at a Kenzo menswear fashion show in Paris: First we saw Cardi B’s rough and tumble husband Offset, wearing Kenzo flower print denim with a BABUSHKA! We remember babushkas from Chicago – older Polish and Russian women wore these headscarves tied under the chin. Looks like Babushkas are a thing with rappers now… Also in the crowd outside the Kenzo show, it was nice to see new Louis Vuitton Creative Director Pharrell Williams and his wife Helen dressed head to toe in Kenzo THEMSELVES – supporting another designer! We’ve never seen THAT before. Pharrell is making lots of friends on his new job…

ASAP Rocky Fashion Louis Vuitton Pharrell Williams Rihanna

RIHANNA AND ASAP ROCKY SHOW OFF THEIR LOUIS VUITTON STYLE

Like we told you, Louis Vuitton will DEFINITELY never be the same! Looks like every self-respecting performer in the rap world turned up in Paris to celebrate Pharrell Williams’ first collection as Creative Director of the label. And he dressed most of the celebrities in his own designs. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are pictured here returning to their fancy Hotel de Crillon following the after-party. She’s wearing a custom 3 piece LV outfit with the jacket tied around her hips. Rihanna likes to flaunt her tummy when she’s pregnant. Rocky is wearing an LV baseball jacket decorated with pearl brooches. The show was declared a triumph for Pharrell Williams…

Jamie Foxx Single

JAMIE FOXX LOVES BEING SINGLE

Jamie Foxx celebrated his 55th birthday guzzling champagne at the L’Arc Club in Paris and he obviously still enjoys being single- the club was loaded with pretty young women. Jamie has never been married- he has two daughters, 14, and 29, and that’s all the family the Django Unchained star wants. Remember, he sneaked around undercover with Katie Holmes for a few years, but they split in 2019. Since then he hasn’t had any steadies – he says he decided early on that the traditional lifestyle (wife, kids and a station wagon) was not for him. He loves his life and career as it is now.

Ben Affleck Honeymoon Jennifer Lopez Kids Paris Shopping

IS THIS THE PERFECT FAMILY, OR WHAT?

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck didn’t spend ALL their time smooching in Paris, where they’re honeymooning with four of their kids. Jennifer brought her twins Max and Emme, and Ben brought his two daughters Seraphina and Violet – he left his young son Sam at home. From all the photos we’ve seen, the kids seem to get along really well and love to hang out together. Ben and Jen took their blended family shopping and after visiting Dior and an art supply store (for Serephina) they visited Micromania– a popular video game retailer. Ben stocked up on games (for Sam at home?) while their eagle-eyed bald bodyguards (above) looked on. You can see Emme in the shop doorway and Max is next to Ben. Crowds gather outside the Costes Hotel in Paris to watch the honeymooners coming and going.

Cancelled Champs Elysees Covid-19 Fireworks New Year's Eve Paris

PARISIANS DON’T GIVE UP EASILY WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING FUN


Before Covid

After Covid
Parisians were NOT happy when the Prime Minister cancelled elaborate plans for a flamboyant New Year’s Eve 2022 at Champs Elysees due to the resurgence of Covid. Three popular DJs had been hired to provide music and fireworks were promised at the Arc de Triomphe every hour. Surrounding cafes and restaurants were all taking part in the festive evening. Bottom photo: Guess what! The disgruntled French citizens turned up anyway and mobbed the area – with and without masks…
