Angelyne Emmy Rossum Gary Baum Hollywood Reporter Pantyhose

ANGELYNE HAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT

We imagined that billboard icon Angelyne was furious when she first learned that Gary Baum had written an expose about her life for The Hollywood Reporter a few years ago. Baum spent months researching the article and revealed that Angelyne was born Renee Goldberg in Poland, to concentration camp survivors. The much talked about article spilled all of Angelyne’s secrets, but eventually she realized that it had made her even MORE famous for being famous! Now she’s executive producing the Angelyne series for Universal so maybe she won’t have to sell t-shirts and merchandise out of her Corvette trunk at Pavilions parking lot any longer. From the looks of this photo of Emmy Rossum, who’s playing Angelyne, the series looks like fun – they even got the pantyhose right!

Airbrushed Kathy Griffin The Hollywood Reporter

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER MADE KATHY GRIFFIN LOOK 25 AGAIN

What WAS The Hollywood Reporter thinking when they published this Kathy Griffin cover? We happen to support Kathy and her story inside is fascinating. But this cover photo is so dramatically over- airbrushed that we barely recognize her! (A young Annie Lennox?) It’s BEYOND flattering but – HELLO – this is a news magazine, NOT a fashion magazine! Kathy, 57, is probably delighted with her extremely youthful appearance, but it detracts from the honesty of her story – AND the honesty of the magazine.

Nicole Kidman Scientology The Hollywood Reporter

NICOLE KIDMAN KNOWS WHEN TO KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT – AND WHEN NOT TO

#nicolekidman #janetcharlton

We learned two important things from Nicole Kidman’s interview with Merle Ginsberg for The Hollywood Reporter. First of all, when Nicole tried on clothing provided for her to wear in the photoshoot, she decided she HAD to have one outfit. Instead of expecting to get it free like most acquisitive actresses, she pulled out her checkbook and paid for it. She said “I don’t take free clothes.” We LOVE her for that. Nicole’s name has come up in many Scientology stories and books lately. She would only say she chose NOT to speak publicly about Scientology (as we told you) – especially since her children Connor and Isabella are still Scientologists. Nicole refuses to confirm or deny the charge that the church “turned her children against her.” Hopefully, someday she will open up on this, but we totally understand her silence
