Banksy Gross Domestic Product Shopping Store

JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: THE BANKSY STORE

One of our favorite artists, Banksy, has opened a surprising – and temporary- shop in the UK displaying a collection of Banksy oddities for sale, from a handbag made out of a brick to a stab-proof vest, plus a tombstone engraved with “You have reached your destination.” The shop window only displays the “impractical and offensive” merchandise – doors are locked and buyers must purchase items online at Banksy’s Gross Domestic Product site. Banksy admits he opened the store to establish his name as a trademark – someone tried to steal his name.

Flea Market Melissa McCarthy Shopping

MELISSA MCCARTHY IS NOT ABOVE BARGAIN HUNTING

Melissa McCarthy got up early Sunday for the Long Beach flea market, and she must be a serious shopper because she brought her own cart. Not sure why, but Southern California flea markets are among the best in the world. Melissa pulled out a baseball cap and a fanny pack and browsed every booth. By the end of the day her cart was packed with vintage clothing, rugs, tchotchkes (home décor) art, and at least one pair of shoes. A good time was had by all

Barneys Hair! Jonah Hill Shopping

JONAH HILL LIKES TO EXPERIMENT WITH HIS LOOKS

Here’s a Hollywood moment. Jonah Hill is yakking up a storm, waiting for his car outside Barneys in Beverly Hills and he has a brand new hair color. Last week while he was in Cabo San Lucas with his sexy girlfriend, stylist Gianna Santos, he had green hair. This wavy blonde look is reminiscent of Jerry Lee Lewis. (Jonah lightened his beard also.) He’s carrying a man-purse or a small gym bag and a shopping bag from the store. The size of the bag indicates that it’s a gift for his girlfriend. He’s no fool.

Balenciaga Kanye West Shopping

KANYE WEST UNDERESTIMATED HIS POPULARITY- FOR A CHANGE

Kanye West thought he’d slip into Balenciaga in New York and pick up a few things without being noticed. No such luck. Word got out fast that he was there, and a huge crowd started to gather outside, ogling him while he browsed. Police came to investigate, and they ended up escorting Kanye and his purchases back to his hotel.

Rosario Dawson Shopping

ROSARIO DAWSON HAS A BAD CASE OF SHOPPING EUPHORIA

Who can’t identify with the look on Rosario Dawson’s face while shopping in New York! Rosario grew up in modest circumstances and she’s come a long way – now she can buy whatever she wants! She started out in 1995 in the Harmony Korine movie Kids and Rosario is probably best known for Rent. She’s always been a political activist and philanthropist – Rosario adopted a 12 year old girl in 2014. She’s been appearing in two TV series this year – Luke Cage and Jane the Virgin, and has two films coming out, so life is good. And she hasn’t forgotten the joy of shopping in Manhattan…

Milla Jovovich Paul W.S. Anderson Shopping

MILLA JOVOVICH AND HER HUSBAND SHARE THE SAME PREDILECTIONS

Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich found a husband (UK born director Paul W.S. Anderson) who likes to shop even more than she does. Ironically, Anderson’s first movie was an underground success called Shopping, and it was set in a dim future where disillusioned young people violently robbed stores for fun. It’s not often you see Hollywood husbands shopping voluntarily with their wives and apparently enjoying it. Paul likes to visit all the top Rodeo Drive stores plus Barneys, and he never seems to get bored. They’ve been married for nine years and have two kids and STILL enjoy checking out the stores together…

Goodwill Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Shopping Vivienne Jolie-Pitt

SHILOH AND VIVIENNE JOLIE-PITT LOVE SHOPPING AT THE GOODWILL STORE

Not only did Angelina Jolie take her kids Shiloh and Vivienne to the Rose Bowl flea market for the first time in December (above,) but today both girls were seen shopping at Goodwill. Shiloh and Vivienne had a bodyguard keeping an eye on them while they rummaged through merchandise at an LA Goodwill store. It’s so great that these girls can experience the fun of “thrifting” like ordinary kids even though they have plenty of money. The sisters schlepped home bags full of records, books, clothing, and who knows WHAT else.
