LORI LOUGHLIN WANTS TO BE FORGIVEN

Lori Loughlin is getting ready to tell HER side of the story. It’s been around three years since her troubles with the college admission bribery scandal and resulting two month prison term.  Lori is now rebuilding her career and working on her autobiography. A publishing insider says that Lori’s tell-all will cover many aspects of her private life – including her rarely discussed first marriage, secrets from her time on Full House, and of course her legal troubles and jail time. Now that she’s paid her dues and put the scandal behind her, Lori is eager to get back into acting, and feels writing a book will hopefully provide a boost to her career.

OLIVIA JADE GIANNULLI HOPES DANCING WITH THE STARS WILL MAKE PEOPLE LIKE HER AGAIN

Looks like Olivia Jade Giannulli plans to arrive at Dancing with the Stars rehearsals every day wearing a full coverage face-mask. Is that to get MORE attention or is she covering up a skin problem? Either way, it IS odd to see someone being rewarded for criminal activity. As you know, her parents, Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli served time in prison for paying $500,000 in bribes to get their daughters into USC. Ironically, Olivia never WANTED to attend USC – she prefers her social media activities on Instagram and YouTube. So instead of USC, Olivia was invited to join the always popular Dancing with the Stars this season -she hopes to increase her online following and maybe even get some of her sponsors back.

HOW MUCH FASHION PAYOLA ARE ACTRESSES GETTING TO WEAR GOWNS AT THE MET GALA?

The Met Gala is turning out to be a bigger fashion event that the Cannes Film Festival. We can’t even IMAGINE how much money is changing hands as major fashion houses, jewelry designers etc. BRIBE celebrities to wear their creations! Blake Lively is in big demand because she’s model height (5’10”) and makes the clothes look spectacular. Her Gala gown was gorgeous but obscenely expensive (it took over 600 hours to make!) Recently designers have ALSO been dressing celebrities for the after-parties! (Blake, above in her pricey after-party outfit) No WONDER so many celebrities wouldn’t think of missing the Met Gala – they’d be missing a huge pay check!

ALICIA VIKANDER: THE CENTER OF FASHION SHENANIGANS

Every year, as the Oscars approach, it becomes evident that there is ONE actress that all the major designers are DYING to dress. This year, Swedish actress and star of The Danish Girl, Alicia Vikander is THAT girl. The biggest names in Paris have been competing to dress Alicia on Oscar night – and money is no object. Alicia was invited to all the major collections during Paris Fashion week and she and her companions had multiple offers of lavish round trip paid vacations. Some designers offer their entire collection as a thank-you for selecting their dress. Competitive design houses been flying fabulous gowns and fitting people to wherever Alicia is, hoping she will select one of their gowns. These aren’t loans – she can keep whatever she is simply THINKING of wearing. Money changes hands – bribes – maybe. Being this year’s IT girl is certainly fun!

KRIS JENNER: A DEMENTED NORMA DESMOND?

Just yesterday, we wrote about Kris Jenner being desperate to make her talk show a hit, and already we have living proof! Brilliant NY Post TV critic Linda Stasi wrote a devastating critique of Kris’s show -she declared the show is “horrible” and Jenner is “boring, self-involved, spoiled, and vacuous.” She compared Kris to a demented Norma Desmond, and said she had as much right to have a talk show as her talentless daughter Khloe had for hosting a talent show. (Click HERE to read review – you’ll love it!) In response, Kris sent Linda Stasi a dozen Magnolia cupcakes and a $325 silver Tiffany pen. An enclosed note suggested that Linda use the pen to write a better review next time. Linda was outraged at the bribe attempt, and further lambasted Kris while claiming she cannot be bought. This drama is better than the talk show.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE ETC : IT’S AWARDS SEASON AND THE BRIBES JUST KEEP ROLLING IN…

We’ve often wondered why young actresses like Jennifer Lawrence who seem so natural in real life, choose to drape themselves in diamonds on the red carpet like much older women. It seems so out of character. It turns out jewelers like Chopard and Bulgari and Tiffany PAY these actresses a fortune to flaunt their jewels and sometimes they even get to keep the baubles! Page Six says Jennifer is being paid $100,000 by Chopard to wear their jewels to The Golden Globes. The only drawback is it limits their choice of dresses. Bulgari is supposedly spending $500,000 to bribe stars to wear their diamonds tonight at the Globes. But that’s nothing compared to the $750,000 that Tiffany & Co. paid Anne Hathaway when she HOSTED the Oscars. It’s STAGGERING, and everyone’s denying it – does that mean somebody’s dodging paying taxes on all this? (Keep in mind these young actresses are ALSO being paid to wear designer dresses and other accessories!)
