LADY GAGA IS TAKING UP A LOT OF SPACE AT THE VENICE FILM FESTIVAL

Lady Gaga has arrived at the Venice Film Festival and she probably brought more luggage than anyone in the history of the event. Her wardrobe is sure to keep everyone entertained. She’s pictured here with her A Star is Born costar and director Bradley Cooper.

IS ANYBODY SURPRISED THAT GERARD DEPARDIEU IS ACCUSED OF RAPE?

Really, it was only a matter of time before the 69 year old French actor Gerard Depardieu would cross the line. This is a man who peed in the aisle of an Air France plane in full view of passengers because the bathroom was locked for takeoff, causing a two hour delay for everyone on the flight. (Apparently drunk, he was kicked off the plane – but his sense of entitlement was memorable.) In other incidents, he punched another driver in a road rage and fell off his scooter in a drunken stupor. He’s a French guy with an attitude who happens to be a powerful movie star – OF COURSE he’s probably a sexual predator…

WHO COULD PLAY A WEIRD DOCTOR BETTER THAN JEFF GOLDBLUM?

Jeff Goldblum turned up at The Venice Film Festival looking quite spiffy (we love men who have style and make an effort) and he’s starring in a new movie with what sounds like the perfect role for him. In The Mountain Jeff plays a rather mad and womanizing discredited doctor who specializes in lobotomies (it’s the 1950’s.) The eccentric doc takes the son of one of his lobotomized female patients on a road trip in the Midwest, resulting in some strange experiences. Sounds like a comedy, but it’s actually described as a drama, in spite of Goldblum’s quirkiness.

LADY GAGA: HER LIFE COULD CHANGE AFTER FRIDAY’S PREMIER

Lady Gaga’s movie premier of A Star is Born at the Venice Film Festival is turning into a family affair. Gaga flew her mother Cynthia to Paris to join her and her boyfriend/agent Christian Carino for some shopping and fun before they move on to Venice for the movie’s world premier Friday. (It’s not in competition.) Today Christian and Gaga took Cynthia for a private tour at the Louvre museum. Gaga is probably a nervous wreck and very excited about her big movie because it already has Oscar buzz and could change her life…

DID ARETHA FRANKLIN CONCEAL A MASSIVE CRUSH ON JAMES BROWN?

Leave it to The National Enquirer to have a different take on the death of Aretha Franklin. The tabloid insists that Aretha made a deathbed confession about a secret showbiz affair that she carried on for several decades. She wrote about this passionate affair with a well known public figure in her biography, but never revealed his name. She was heartbroken when he refused commitment. According to the Enquirer, the secret lover was James Brown! We love this old undated photo we found of both singers in their heyday looking really hot.

EVEN SCIENTOLOGISTS COULDN’T SAVE JOHN TRAVOLTA’S GOTTI MOVIE

But oh, how they TRIED! It took YEARS and many changes for John Travolta to finally get his Gotti movie finished and he hoped it was his role of a lifetime. But it turned out to be a disaster – critics lambasted everything about the film (including Travolta’s “gallery of wigs”) and Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rare score of ZERO %! Scientologists remember the embarrassing failure of Battlefield Earth, the film they produced starring Travolta, and they vowed to do whatever they could to save Gotti. They advertised the movie with a Scientology inspired philosophy “Audiences love Gotti, but critics don’t want you to see it – judge for yourself.” Suddenly, numerous positive reviews appeared online praising Gotti – suspiciously written by people with new email accounts who had never written reviews before. It didn’t help – once again, crime didn’t pay.

JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS SURVIVED AN AIRPLANE FLIGHT WITHOUT A CASE OF THE CRAZIES

It’s a day to celebrate for Jonathan Rhys Meyers. He actually made it through an airplane flight (they just arrived in Paris) without getting drunk and making a horrible scene. Police were involved in incidents in Dublin, New York, Paris, and LA when he became inebriated before and during flights and abused airline personnel using unprintable obscenities against them. If his wife was present he insulted her and loudly threatened to divorce her as well. There’s something about airports that set off his drinking and anger issues. Later he’s apologetic, and despite her humiliation, his wife Mara (above with their child Wolf) always forgives him. She says he’s receiving “holistic treatment for his anger issues.”

LADY GAGA IS DRESSING LIKE A MOVIE STAR

Lady Gaga took a break from her usual zany fashion sensibility and dressed way DOWN for a date in Paris with her boyfriend Christian Carino. They’re on their way to the famous Brasserie Lipp for dinner. You KNOW she dressed to impress Christian because she’s wearing sexy heels instead of her usual clunky platform shoes. The best thing about this relationship is that Christian, 48, is Gaga’s agent, and he’s free to travel with her frequently. They’re on their way to the Venice Film Festival for the premier of her already acclaimed film A Star is Born -maybe Gaga is now dressing like a movie star as opposed to a pop star…

BRITNEY SPEARS LOOKS LIKE SHE’S SINGLE AGAIN

A couple of things came to mind when we came across this photo of Britney Spears and her bodyguard in Paris. First, it’s been over a month since Britney and her handsome boyfriend Sam Asghari have been seen anywhere together – so what’s happening? Tomorrow night Britney performs at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris for 20,000 fans and she’s got all her hair extensions in place. (She HAS been known to lose some extensions onstage) A former hairdresser of Britney’s told us that the heavy extensions are ruining her own hair – pulling it out by the roots – and she has bald patches. He thinks she should wear wigs onstage to save her own hair.

NICK NOLTE CLEANS UP NICELY FOR HIS FAMILY

So nice to see Nick Nolte NOT wandering around Malibu in pajamas with uncombed hair. Today he shopped at the Trancas market with his wife Clytie Lane and their 11 year old daughter Sophie – and his hair is combed and he’s dressed appropriately in linen. Nick, 77, also has a handsome 32 year old son Brawley from another relationship, who’s also an actor. And Nick keeps busy – he has a couple of movies coming out next year.
