JOHN AND MEG: WHO NEEDS MARRIAGE?

John Mellencamp, 66, and Meg Ryan, 56, braved a few sprinkles of rain as they strolled arm in arm in Soho today. After a number of bust-ups through the years (during one split John hooked up with Christie Brinkley) John and Meg have both made concessions. She puts up with his smoking and he spends more time in New York. In March, rumors that they were getting married spread when Meg was seen at John’s South Carolina beachfront house prettying the place up. It was NOT wedding preparations, Meg just loves to re-do homes, and John’s place really needed attention. Why WOULD they get married?

KEANU REEVES: ANOTHER HANDSOME GUY WHO DOESN’T ENJOY HIS GOOD LOOKS

Keanu Reeves, 53, is perfectly able to ride the subway or sit on a park bench in New York without anyone bothering him – so that’s the upside of having long scraggly hair and a beard. Reeves looks a little glum while he waits for stunt men to set up safety mats for a motorcycle scene in John Wick: Chapter Three, now filming in Brooklyn. The lone wolf actor has no website or Twitter account and awhile back, Keanu’s fans were so concerned for his happiness that they declared June 15th as “Cheer Up Keanu Day.”

LONI ANDERSON: LOOKING GOOD IS THE BEST REVENGE

Recently Burt Reynolds announced that Sally Field was “the love of his life” with no mention of his ex-wife Loni Anderson. Burt and Loni’s divorce in 1993 was sensational and embarrassing. He accused her of being a bad mother and cheating and she accused him of physical abuse. It also took many years before it was settled. Loni, 71, went on to marry Bob Flick, singer from The Brothers Four folk group. They were photographed leaving Craig’s restaurant and she looks fetching, while her ex Burt is now hunched over a cane.

JOHNNY ROTTEN ISN’T SO ROTTEN ANY MORE

John Lydon AKA Johnny Rotten is still so British that he takes a taxi to the supermarket. Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones gave Johnny Rotten his name because of how his teeth looked. Lydon has lived in LA since 1981 (with his heiress wife Nora) so presumably his teeth have been repaired. Nowadays he introduces himself by saying “Hello – I’m big and ugly!” so he hasn’t lost his edge. But it does appear that he lost his hair gel on this shopping trip Sunday, giving him the look of a suburban dad. Lydon’s post-punk band Public Image Limited is performing in the UK this summer.

SURI CRUISE LOOKS MORE LIKE HER DAD EVERY DAY

When she was younger, Suri Cruise looked more like her mom Katie Holmes, but the older she gets (she’s 12 now) the more she resembles her absent-due-to-Scientology dad Tom Cruise. Meanwhile, Katie is only 39 and starting to look like a matron. She cut off her hair for her new action movie, Doorman, with Jean Reno. Katie plays a Marine who returns from a devastating term of service and takes a job as a NY doorman while pulling herself together. She finds herself in the middle of a violent crime involving the building tenants. Sounds like a role Tom would have taken.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT WOODY ALLEN!

Mia Farrow can hardly contain herself because she’s SO proud of her son Ronan Farrow. He was honored at the New York gala for Time magazine’s 100 Most influential People of 2018 for his explosive reporting of the Harvey Weinstein scandal along with reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey for the New Yorker. Oh, and did you know he also won a Pulitzer Prize for the same thing? Ronan is on top of the world right now and we can’t help wondering what his estranged father Woody Allen is thinking…

OUR OWN BILL COSBY EXPERIENCE

It’s a glorious day for women because Bill Cosby is finally being recognized for his crimes. This is a man who felt entitled and above the law, so justice is considerably sweeter. We never for a moment doubted his guilt because we had a first-hand experience with his criminal methods. Back in the 70’s, I was at a Playboy mansion party with a cute college friend named Jacqui who was an aspiring actress. Cosby was at the party and he invited her to his home for a glass of wine. Since we had come to the party together in her Volkswagon, I tagged along, eager to check out the house itself. While Jacqui sipped Cosby’s fancy wines and played a little pool with him, I overheard him asking her to give him a sample of her acting by “pretending to act drunk.” (apparently a well-used line of his) I was casually looking around the large house when I got the awful feeling that Cosby’s wife was asleep there! Horrified, I whispered to Jacqui that we should leave immediately and dragged her out, despite Cosby’s protests. Since the Cosby scandal exploded, I love reminding Jacqui that I saved her from a possibly gruesome fate…

COURTNEY STODDEN IS 23 AND MOVING ON WITH A NEW GUY

Courtney Stodden couldn’t be happier – she and her boyfriend Chris Sheng just walked out of Bulgari in Beverly Hills where they looked at engagement rings. Courtney became famous when she was 16 and married Doug Hutchinson, an actor 34 years older. Since she split with Doug, she’s been living with Chris in a tempestuous relationship. Chris is 38 and calls himself an “entrepreneur and motivational coach.” Her estranged husband Doug (to whom she is still married) says that Courtney is addicted to fame and has no money so she’s using Chris.

LESLIE JONES: PULL UP TO THE BUMPER, BABY!

Who, in a million years, would have guessed that the Project Runway winner in 2008 would go on to be named by Time magazine as one of The Most Influential People of 2018? Diminutive designer Christian Siriano made all the right moves on the show – and afterward. He started his own business with his winnings and has become a red carpet darling. And he’s not too uppity to dress women larger than a size 2. In fact, when he heard that SNL star Leslie Jones had nothing to wear to her Ghostbusters premier in 2016, (designers snubbed her) he volunteered to dress her and they’ve been besties ever since. He also created her Grace Jones tribute outfit for the Time 100 Gala.
