JOE JONAS: NOT AS SWEET AS HE USED TO BE

#joejonas #janetcharlton

Joe Jonas and his newish girlfriend of a few months Blanda Eggenschwiler were seen looking slightly moody, leaving a New York hotel together with their luggage. The pair have been spending time in LA and Europe where they visited her family in Zurich, Switzerland. Joe’s devoted fans are speculating that Blanda, a graphic artist and illustrator, is older and a bad influence on their favorite Jonas brother – they’ve been seen smoking together.

RIGHT SAID FRED: TOO SEXY FOR THEIR LUNCH

#rightsaidfred #janetcharlton

Every once in awhile we start humming that 1991 gay anthem “I’m Too Sexy” by the English band Right Said Fred. Those musclebound bald-headed Fairbrass brothers Richard and Fred (one gay and one straight) are kind of fascinating so we have to take another look at their video. Twenty two years later they are now in their fifties, but still look pretty much the same.

BUSY BEN AFFLECK SHARES TIME WITH HIS DAUGHTERS

#benaffleck #janetcharlton

We love a dad who’s not TOO successful and important to take his two little girls (Violet and Seraphina) to the farmer’s market. You don’t see them very often. Ben Affleck may be a major Hollywood player but he makes time to buy fruit and vegetables for the family – and he doesn’t forget to bring flowers home to mom Jennifer Garner.

In 2011, actress Chloe Moretz played a little girl in Martin Scorcese’s “Hugo” and now she’s popped up in Paris looking like a quite a fashionista, attending the Christian Dior couture show. She’s still only 15, but her career is booming – she just finished starring in the remake of “Carrie.”

THE OBAMAS ROCK THE FASHION WORLD

#thombrowne #janetcharlton

LOVED Michelle Obama and Malia and Sasha’s color coordinated coats today! New York designer Thom Browne did Michelle’s coat and it’s certainly one of his more conservative creations. Get a load of the menswear collection that Thom Browne just showed in Paris – with square hats!

ROBERT REDFORD’S SON JAMES HAS ISSUES ABOUT HAVING A FAMOUS DAD

Robert Redford’s son James doesn’t seem to have a grip on the advantages of being related to a major movie star. James directed a documentary on dyslexia that he‘s been promoting in various cities but he’s not very cooperative, according to our friend CJ at the Star Tribune in Minneapolis. The press isn’t infatuated with the doc’s subject matter, but they are willing to give him some publicity if he’s willing to talk about his famous father just a little. James stubbornly says NO upfront to ANY questions involving his father and journalists are rebuffed. He’d better loosen up if he wants publicity for his cause. He’s lucky to have a famous father who opens doors.

PAMELA ANDERSON: A GIRL’S GOTTA DO WHAT A GIRL’S GOTTA DO

#pamelaanderson #janetcharlton

It’s yet another reality show for Pamela Anderson. She’s been spending most of her time in Europe either onstage, hosting club openings, or appearing on reality shows to bring in a few bucks. Pamela was drowning in debt a couple of years ago because of back taxes due and money she owed for home renovation. So she lit a fire under her agents and took just about every offer they were able to negotiate for her. You have to give her credit – she has been working nonstop and now she’s appearing in Amsterdam on the Dutch version “Dancing on Ice.”

JEREMY RENNER IS A BIGGER CATCH THAN WE REALIZED

Jeremy Renner and Courteney Cox have something in common – they’re both successful house flippers in Los Angeles. Courteney worked her way up into the multimillion dollar range years ago thanks to “Friends.” Jeremy, who hit it big with “The Hurt Locker,” started small and has now reached Courteney’s level. He just put a refurbished house in Holmby Hills on the market for 25 million dollars, according to Curbed LA.. He’s already flipped over fifteen houses – each one bigger than the next. He bought this 10,000 sq ft 6 bedroom house in 2010 for 7 million and it’s been completely re- done. Click here for more lush photos.

#alleewillis #janetcharlton

If you happen to be downtown in LA tonight and you love kitsch, try to get tickets for UnCabaret located at First and Hope. Our friend, the excruciatingly talented and amusing Allee Willis, is doing her FIRST stand-up performance and she’s scared to death! Allee is a successful songwriter, (Earth, Wind and Fire) an artist, and a huge collector of kitsch. She’s done a few extravagant stage shows in the past year and decided to try something less expensive. After the show you can visit her museum of kitsch by clicking here. (Above, Allee at home – you can tell her act has GOT to be fun!)
