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.

AMELIA HAMLIN: 20 GOING ON 35

Whoa. It was a jolt when we saw this photo of Amelia Hamlin (Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin’s daughter) because she does NOT look like the average 20 year old. Does Hollywood make girls grow up faster? Sure, she’s beautiful, but most college-age girls look a lot less serious and vampy. Remember, Amelia broke up with 35 year old Scott Disick not long ago, so maybe he influenced her. It seems like an awful lot of Hollywood’s second generation kids are skipping college and using their famous last names to become influencers on social media and it’s a shame they have to miss the college experience and grow up so fast…

MEGAN THEE STALLION IS NOW A COLLEGE GRADUATE

Let’s give credit where credit is due. We never thought we’d see THIS day, But Megan Thee Stallion is now a college graduate! To please her late mother, she graduated last week with a bachelor’s degree in – of all things- health administration, not music, from Texas Southern University. She says she took online classes (can you imagine sitting next to her in class?) and posted photos of herself in a tasseled graduation cap to prove to the world that she DID it.

KATIE HOLMES: IS THAT A BOOKBAG ON YOUR SHOULDER?

For years, Katie Holmes, 40, has talked about going back to school when the time was right. When Katie was 18, she was accepted to Columbia University, but she instead chose Hollywood and a starring role on Dawson’s Creek. A few years ago, she took a course at Harvard Business School in their Entertainment, Media, and Sports program. The class attracts many successful celebrities and athletes. This week Katie was seen walking out of Columbia University looking very happy and carrying what appears to be a book bag. Perhaps she will finally get that delayed education she passed on years ago…

FELICITY HUFFMAN: WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR KIDS?

It was a HUGE disappointment to learn that Felicity Huffman and William H Macy are involved in the college admissions cheating scheme because they always seemed like such an earnest couple. We can understand wealthy parents making large contributions to a college to get their child enrolled, But CHEATING on SAT tests is unforgivable! That is BY FAR the worst part of this bribery scandal. Hardworking non-wealthy students prepare and study endlessly for these challenging tests. WHAT are parents who BUY high test scores teaching their kids? Are these SAT cheating kids even likely to earn the grades to graduate? BUYING SAT scores is no substitute for tutoring and good upbringing.

JOSEPH BAENA IS HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE

It turns out that Joseph Baena, 21, is living a charmed life. His father is Arnold Schwarzenegger and his mother was, of course, the family housekeeper when Arnold was married to Maria Shriver. His birth broke up the Schwarzenegger-Shriver marriage, but Arnold and Maria eventually became friendly again. Arnold sent Joseph to college at Pepperdine University to get a business degree (he also plays rugby for the college team.) Joseph is the only son interested in bodybuilding and Arnold is delighted, and spends hours coaching him in the gym. Joseph plans to compete in his first bodybuilding competition soon.

PRINCE JACKSON WON’T STOP TILL HE GETS ENOUGH – EDUCATION!

Prince Jackson grabs a bite with his buddies at Mauro's Cafe

We are REALLY happy to see that Prince Jackson, 19, in spite of his unconventional upbringing, is on the road to success. He was home-schooled until he was in middle school but he adjusted quickly in private school and always got good grades. SO good that he was accepted at Loyola Marymount University last year where he continues to thrive. He started out majoring in film, but recently switched to business. (It helps that he inherited his smarts from biological father Dr Arnold Klein, whom he closely resembles.) Ambitious Prince intends to direct and produce and has already established a company called King’s Son Productions, where he produced two music videos. He’s living in an apartment in Marina Del Rey and lives a low-key and very normal life. Now if only Paris could get a grip on HER life!

LET’S HEAR IT FOR NICK CANNON: A MAN WHO DOESN’T THINK HE KNOWS EVERYTHING!

Nick Cannon loves Plaid at Good Day NY

Sororities at Howard University must be rolling out the red carpet to welcome a highly eligible freshman: Nick Cannon! He’s registered to start the fall semester in the Communications Department, but with his experience, couldn’t he be a TEACHER? When Nick,35, graduated from high school he immediately started working in show business and put off going to college. Lately he’s been getting philosophical about the importance of education and felt compelled to return to school. He still has TV jobs, but aspires to graduate in four years – if he doesn’t party too much. Nick has already set aside the fancy suits and bought himself a book bag.

CHRISTIE BRINKLEY: EMPTY NEST IN THE HAMPTONS

Christie Brinkley, 62, has a lot of things on her mind and her ex-boyfriend John Mellencamp probably isn’t one of them. Too bad that John is attracted to New York girls who have no interest in moving to Indiana, where he lives. He never felt comfortable in the Hamptons where Christie spends her time. (We’re pretty sure he has some “redneck” habits, too.) Anyway, this week Christie helped her youngest daughter Sailor, 18, pack up and move into her first apartment in Manhattan where she’ll be starting school as a freshman at Parsons School of Design. (Sailor already has a modeling contract too.) With all her children grown up and moved away, Christie is probably feeling emotional, but she put on a happy face for Instagram.

DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T IMPRESS THIS HOMECOMING QUEEN

Apparently Candice Bergen was NOT thrilled when Donald Trump happened to mention that he had a date with her back in the 60’s when they were both at the University of Pennsylvania. Bergen was a beauty, and already Homecoming Queen. She says all she remembers about the date was the fact that Donald was totally color coordinated – he wore a three piece burgundy suit, burgundy boots, and he had a car the same color. Candice did admit that although they only had one date, he has always been nice to her since then. However, she IS voting for Hillary – and we love her for that.
