BRAD PITT’S MIRAVAL CHATEAU WINE LOST ITS APPEAL

When it comes to wine, it appears that Angelina Jolie has more status than her ex-husband, Brad Pitt. During their marriage, Brad and Angelina launched their winery, Chateau Miraval, with a rose wine that became an instant status symbol. As their popularity as a couple grew, so did the price of the wine – it got so expensive at one point that retailers like Trader Joe’s stopped carrying it. Well the marriage didn’t last, and Angie sold her interest in the Chateau and winery to a Russian oligarch and apparently it’s no longer as in demand as when it was affiliated with the attractive couple. Case in point: it’s back at Trader Joe’s selling for less than HALF of what it did a few years back. A wine industry source explains that when unproven allegations of violence came out against Brad during the divorce, the brand got tainted and lost its popularity among its formerly loyal female clientele.

Christmas Kris Jenner Party

KARDASHIAN PARTIES: NOT AS HOT AS THEY USED TO BE?

Is the influence of the Kardashians finally waning? Matriarch Kris Jenner’s annual Christmas Eve party is usually the hottest invite in town, but this year the only A-Listers who bothered to show up were mostly family members. According to a source who has attended the parties in the past, although lavish, the party has morphed into one large social media photo shoot with professional lighting, a glam squad of hairdressers and makeup artists, and over the top background decorations. As my source explained, it used to be fun, but now it’s kind of a chore – so that could be why the turnout wasn’t so great this year.

Attitude Jada Pinkett Smith Oscar Slap Reputation Will Smith

WILL SMITH AND JADA REMAIN LOW ON POPULARITY POLL

Variety has just revealed what we already knew- that Will Smith’s career is “in a significant and precipitous decline.” What we didn’t expect is that Jada Pinkett Smith’s public image is also damaged. A company called Q Scores measures celebrity star power and appeal – they stated that Will was one of the top ten most positively rated actors BEFORE the Oscar slap (up there with Tom Hanks etc.) After the slap, Will handled the situation poorly: he made a vague and stiff apology via social media. His handlers realized that wasn’t enough, and pushed him to try and salvage his reputation with a sincere video. Smith’s self-righteous attitude in the video made it evident he was being forced to do it and couldn’t wait to get it over with, although he was saying the things his advisors told him to. He acted like he’s not sorry and never will be. The video was as oblivious to reality as his Oscar behavior. Through it all, Jada was silent and when she FINALLY made a comment, she acted like she was NOT involved and “hopes these two men can reconcile.” It didn’t help HER public image at all. Fans were left wondering if Will is NOT the decent guy they thought he was. The release of Will’s film Emancipation has been postponed until next year.
