OUR SUPERMARKET ENCOUNTER WITH LUKE PERRY

Shocking to hear that BH90210 heartthrob Luke Perry, 52, suffered a “massive stroke!” He seems way too young and healthy. We had a delightful and unexpected encounter with the actor around twelve years ago. We were shopping at Ralph’s on 3rd St and walked away from our shopping cart to browse the produce department. When we returned we found a distracted looking man in a baseball cap and sunglasses dropping items in OUR cart. (Understandable – we grab the wrong cart sometimes too) We joked “are you sure you want all those Lean Cuisines?” He looked startled and laughed as he removed his stuff and we realized it was Luke Perry! He was very sweet and it was a fun supermarket memory.

TEFLON BOXER OSCAR DE LA HOYA DOESN’T EMBARRASS EASILY

In spite of some REALLY embarrassing scandals, boxer turned promoter Oscar De La Hoya is still a favorite with his fans. Back in 2007, cross dressing photos of the handsome fighter surfaced – he was cavorting in fishnets, panties, high heels and a wig with a Serbian stripper. THAT cost him a 20 million dollar payoff and the stripper had to return the fishnets, lingerie and heels, and keep her mouth shut. Oscar blamed alcohol and cocaine and he went to rehab. In 2011, he was sued by a female escort who claimed he dressed up in her clothes and took drugs and wouldn’t let her leave an orgy in his NY hotel room. In 2018, two women he met on a dating website filmed the naked boxer engaged in sex acts with kitchen utensils and they were accused of extorting money from him. Despite all, Oscar has plenty of fans and his wife is STILL married to him!

JAVIER BARDEM HAS GOT THE MOVES LIKE JAGGER

We love this moment on the Jimmy Kimmel show where Javier Bardem reminisced about the night HE won his Oscar and “ended up at the after-party dancing on a table doing an impersonation of Mick Jagger singing Sympathy for the Devil!” Bardem has that Jagger strut and hand movements down pat…

RAY DONOVAN HAS A TENDER SIDE

Liev Schreiber’s sons may not realize it now, but they seem to have a very cool dad. Liev, 51, not only rides bikes with his sons Alex, 11, and Sam, 10, all over New York, but he takes time for a heart to heart talk when needed. (Above with Sam.) Life is good for the Ray Donovan star – the series just got renewed for the seventh season so Liev is enjoying a steady income. Since 2016, he’s been quietly keeping company with Miss South Dakota, Taylor Neisen, 26, so he’s got a good thing going.

JERRY HALL IS BACK IN THE GAME

Usually when a model is past her prime and her rockstar boyfriend takes off, things go downhill. But not for Jerry Hall! The Texas model had a 22 year relationship with Rolling Stone Mick Jagger that produced four children. Their Bali marriage “ceremony” was declared invalid in court, and Jerry was left high and dry. But not for long. With her kids grown, Jerry dabbled in acting and TV until she hooked up with media mogul (and our former boss) Rupert Murdoch and they married in 2016. Life is good again – Jerry, 62, was photographed arriving at the UK airport after attending the Oscars with her husband.

CRAZY RICH ASIAN GEMMA CHAN IS BEST DRESSED AND PAIN-FREE!

Crazy Rich Asians star Gemma Chan is our pick for Best Dressed at the Oscars for SO many reasons! Start with the hot pink color – and we love the fluttery collar framing her face. The pleating and detailing of the layers of fabric is luscious and it goes on forever. This modern gown has NO restrictions! It’s not tight anywhere, just graceful and feminine. No need for industrial strength spanx or other compressive underwear or tape – Gemma actually looks comfortable – a look you rarely see at the Oscars! We would give anything to see a photo of Gemma (and other actresses in bouffant gowns) as they are SITTING in the theater. Where do they put all that skirt – do they roll it up on their laps – stuff half on their date’s lap? Inquiring minds want to know…

JASON MOMOA AND LISA BONET: CUTEST COUPLE IN WORST OSCAR OUTFITS

It goes without saying that we love Jason Momoa and Lisa Bonet – they are adorable and one of our FAVORITE Hollywood couples. But this year’s Oscars didn’t bring out the best in them. They really TRIED with color coordination – pink would have been hot – dreary mauve, not so much. Actually their outfits both look homemade in terms of fit and design – Jason’s ill-fitting velvet suit is STRAINING and too tight for that big frame of his. Lisa’s dress is a little too thrift shop looking. A for effort, but F for result.

SPIKE LEE: A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

Talk about sore losers. Spike Lee wasn’t so lovable on Oscar night – he revealed a surprisingly inflated ego and bad sportsmanship. Spike won his first Oscar this year for Best Adapted Screenplay for BlackKkKlansman. (He shared the award with three other male writers.) He started his accepted speech with profanity and indicated to producers that he didn’t intend to stick to the 90 second speech limit given to winners. He proceeded to read a two page letter about history and his own story. But that wasn’t enough. Spike appeared deliriously happy backstage and posed with Best Supporting Actor Mahershala Ali. (above) Everything was fine UNTIL Green Book was announced as Best Film. Spike stood up and stormed out of the Dolby theater, muttering and waving his hands in disgust. Unbelievable. We happened to love Green Book and couldn’t be happier.

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH JUSTIN BIEBER?

Justin Bieber’s model wife Hailey Baldwin has been frantically busy lately, flying from country to country for Fashion Weeks everywhere, and she hasn’t had much time to spend with her problematic husband. Hailey’s back in New York, but Justin was NOT with her when she left church today – apparently he departed earlier, deep in conversation with his pastor who is counseling him. (Is that pastor qualified?) Justin insists his mental struggle with anxiety and depression is due to fame and NOT his marriage, but we’re starting to wonder. There is still NO date set for the wedding ceremony they’ve been talking about for so long…

SOME CELEBRITIES KNOW HOW TO RIDE THE NY SUBWAY INCOGNITO

At first glance, people do not not recognize this guy on the subway downtown, but he’s also menacing enough to make everyone keep their distance! Kevin Bacon knows how to navigate the city without being bothered for selfies. The Footloose star does not look like an inviting dance partner….
