Mickey Rourke is a close runner-up to Dog the Bounty Hunter for Worst Dressed of the week. He paired a skin tight unzipped hoodie with camouflage pants, a knit beany, and a Vuitton belt to match his Vuitton man-purse for a dinner at Craig’s restaurant. Of course, it’s Mickey’s face that is always noteworthy and ever-changing. Whether the nose bandage is the result of cosmetic surgery is not known. Despite his eccentricities, he has managed to keep his Russian model girlfriend since 2009 and he has several movies coming out this year.

HBO slammed a home run with their Scientology documentary “Going Clear” that debuted Sunday, and we applaud them for it. Everyone MUST see it! Having successful, well known former members lament that they can’t believe they were ever stupid enough to have been involved, was VERY effective. Best of all, HBO exposed the IRS disgrace: decades ago, Scientology harassed the IRS into declaring their organization a tax-free church. They went on to buy up block after block of valuable Hollywood property tax-free. Time for the IRS to RE-EVALUATE the taxation of all so-called “churches.” And Leah Remini wasn’t afraid to applaud the documentary.

Now that she’s single, Hilary Duff has been having some fun experimenting with hair colors. – this week it’s turquoise. Since she and Mike Comrie divorced, Hilary has had main custody of their little boy Luca, 3. Hilary is a little sad because Luca is so tall he can barely sit on her lap any more – but she does manage to carry him. If Luca’s hair looks a bit like the 80’s band Flock of Seagulls, it’s because of the wind. Hilary’s new series Younger for TV Land premieres this week.

It may take time, but Sacha Baron Cohen gets what he wants. A movie biography of Queen has been bouncing around for eight years with assorted famous names attached to play Freddie Mercury. Two years ago Sacha Baron Cohen walked out of negotiations because he and surviving Queen band members Brian May and Roger Taylor didn’t see eye to eye. Brian thought Sacha would bring too much humor to a serious role. The movie was in limbo until Cohen made a triumphant return – and he is not only starring as the spandex clad Freddie, he is producing, writing, and directing the film! What could have been a rather ordinary rock movie suddenly is loaded with potential.
Little Harper Beckham, 3, is lucky to have three older brothers who obviously dote on her. She’s pictured here arriving at LAX in the protective arms of her 16 year old brother Brooklyn. Cruz and Romeo were also with their mother Victoria, who has been promoting her fashion collection. Brooklyn is a part time model and full-time student when he’s not playing soccer. So far Victoria and David’s kids are growing up with good manners and their parents keep them too busy flying around to get into any trouble.

If Kevin Hart would be a little more careful about who he stands next to in photos, it might not be so glaringly apparent that he is uncommonly short. But then, his challenging height is probably one of the reasons he’s funny. Kevin, who claims to be 5’4”, costars with 6’3” Will Ferrell in “Get Hard.” Will plays a prison-bound hedge fund manager who asks Kevin’s businessman character (who has never been in jail) to prepare him for life behind bars. A few descriptive terms tossed around are racist, homophobic, and raunchy. Sounds like Will and Kevin’s fans will be happy.

Khloe Kardashian has been getting some heavy competition from her Kardashian and Jenner sisters. Kendall is now a successful model, Kylie has new lips and a new image, Kourtney has an errant boyfriend, and Kim‘s baby North guarantees her plenty of face time. With her sisters grabbing all the attention, Khloe had no choice but to do SOMETHING – so she bleached her hair blond and pulled on the tight pants.

Justin Bieber is still celebrating turning 21 this month in a BIG way. He’s been partying nonstop – most recently with Leonardo DiCaprio and a gaggle of models. Sometimes there IS a price to pay for all that socialization and Justin paid a hasty visit to his doctor in Beverly Hills today – he claimed he had a case of pink eye (conjunctivitis) which is very contagious. Why he wrapped a pillow around his head is a mystery – sunglasses would have disguised the ailment.

Who doesn’t love a Momma’s Boy? Drake, 28, took his mother Sandi Graham out to lunch in Beverly Hills and afterward they shopped together at Maxfield. The 6’ singer towered over his tiny mom. Drake’s father was Jerry Lee Lewis’s drummer and wasn’t around much, so Sandi was in charge of Drake’s upbringing. Since she’s Jewish, she made sure he went to a Jewish school and had a Bar Mitzvah. Drake says he loves his mother “with all his heart.”
