RALPH LAUREN REALIZED THAT COFFEE AND SHOPPING GO WELL TOGETHER

Ralph Lauren quietly introduced his own brand of coffee a few years ago and gradually opened coffee bars in New York, Hong Kong, Paris and London, but NOT in Los Angeles. The “lifestyle brand” even has a cute vintage coffee truck. Ralph Lauren is the first fashion brand to launch a coffee and omigosh, we predict they started something BIG! Can you imagine Chanel and Gucci coffee shops? Or Vivienne Westwood? With exquisite pastries and cookies? There’s no end to the possibilities…

At 7:30 AM Sunday morning Olivier Martinez was seen alone at the Susina bakery on Beverly Boulevard drinking coffee and eating a croissant. The French hunk – and current boyfriend of Halle Berry – was wearing a t shirt and jeans but since rain was in the forecast he was driving his Aston Martin instead of his motorcycle. A woman at the next table observed Olivier and teased him a bit saying “I didn’t know French people dipped their croissants into coffee like Americans dunk donuts!” Olivier laughed and he was friendly and chatted with several strangers. No sign of Halle.

IT’S ABOUT TIME: AL PACINO’S FIRST TV COMMERCIAL

It’s a big deal when Al Pacino does his first TV commercial. He finally dipped his toe in the lucrative water of advertising for an Australian coffee company, Vittoria Coffee. The company is owned by an Italian migrant family so that appealed to Al, plus he loves the coffee. Al has never been to Australia so they filmed the spot, which was directed by Barry Levinson, in his own neighborhood in New York. Of course, it will only be shown in Australia.

Eddie Murphy was spotted in the valley getting coffee for two to go. This is not a man who often does his own errands. He struggled valiantly to get into his car, which happens to be the shiniest vehicle we’ve ever seen, without spilling a drop. Who could that second cup be destined for – his housemate Johnny Gill – or a new love interest?
