Nice to see that Kevin Costner’s marriage to Christine Baumgartner is still strong despite his alleged misbehavior with hotel masseuses. The couple has produced some beautiful children – Grace, Hayes, and Cayden. The family appeared at the premier of Kevin’s new movie McFarland USA. If you haven’t seen his movie Black or White, it IS worth seeing. He continues to be a very appealing actor.

Sisters Jackie Collins and Joan Collins had dinner together at Craig’s this week. Since Jackie has written so many sexy Hollywood novels, people always ask her what she thinks of “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Jackie says she admires “Fifty Shades” amazing success, but says she doesn’t like the leading female character Anastasia. Collins claims that HER leading women are NOT PASSIVE. “My heroines kick ass. They don’t get their asses kicked.”

Speaking of the Geraldo show, our fellow gossip columnist, CJ, who appeared with us on the weekly gossip panel, dug up this great old photo from the show. From left to right you have Mike Walker from The National Enquirer, Janet Charlton from Star Magazine, Ted Casablanca from E!, Geraldo the host, CJ from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and Cindy Adams from the New York Post. As an opinionated group we did a lot of gossip shows together, and had loads of fun.
We were NOT surprised to see that the two finalists competing to win Celebrity Apprentice are Geraldo Rivera and Leeza Gibbons. Both had successful daytime talk shows in the 90’s and we appeared on both shows multiple times, gossiping. While Geraldo is a great guy, he can’t hold a candle to Leeza, simply because he is a man. Geraldo is clever but he bullied his way to the finals and egotistically clashed with other contestants. With no histrionics, Leeza simply used her brain and organization skills, along with her inherent kindness and regard for others. She never embarrassed herself or anyone else. No petty feuds. Here’s hoping Leeza and her Alzheimer’s charity triumph!
