KANYE WEST IS ISOLATING ALONE IN HIS OFFICE- WHAT’S UP?

Kanye West has either been driven crazy by his family in isolation together or he is inspired like never before. For the past week, Kanye has been leaving home early in the morning to head out to the massive building where his fashion offices are located. The huge parking lot is empty except for Kanye’s Lamborghini and his bodyguards’ car. At lunchtime the guards run out to a nearby McDonald’s and bring food back for their boss. Is isolation with his rambunctious family more than Kanye can bear? Or is he simply overflowing with design ideas?

“WEIRD AL” YANKOVIC HAS A NORMAL LOOKING FAMILY

Seems like “Weird Al” Yankovic has been around forever making those song parodies and playing his accordion. Actually he started in the 80’s with ”Straight Outta Lynwood, ” and our favorite “Another one Rides the Bus” – a parody of the Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust.” He brought his pretty wife Suzanne and cute daughter Nina to the premier of Knives Out.

NICK CAVE’S PERSONAL TRAGEDY

Can’t remember the last time we saw goth-rocker Nick Cave with his wife, designer Susie Bick, and his son Earl,19, so it was nice to see them at the LACMA Art & Film Gala. We didn’t realize that the family survived an awful tragedy four years ago. Earl’s twin brother Arthur was only fifteen when he experimented with LSD, became disoriented, fell off a cliff and died not far from the family home in the UK. Susie was so distraught she nearly gave up her fashion business, but she says it was her work that eventually helped her heal. Nick says the experience changed him and his music forever.

JULIA LOUIS- DREYFUS: MY TWO SONS

Julia Louis-Dreyfus seems to have such a close and non-problematic family considering her success. Julia met her husband, actor/writer Brad Hall, when they were both studying at Northwestern, and they were both hired at Saturday Night Live at the same time. They married in 1987 and had two sons – meanwhile Julia started piling up Emmys for Seinfeld and Veep. Both Charlie, 22, on the left, and Henry, 27, right, graduated from college. Her sweet sons surprised Julia with a video they made to Michael Jackson’s Beat It! when she finished her last day of chemo for breast cancer. Henry is pursuing a career in music, and since he had a cameo on VEEP, Charlie is interested in acting.

DOES BOBBY BROWN REMINISCE ABOUT THE OLD DAYS?

Bobby Brown looks like a typical suburban dad now, but we remember when he was a hot commodity. We met Bobby years ago at the after-party for the AMA show. That’s when he was riding high with New Edition, but Bobby was really funny, friendly and likeable. So we were not surprised when Whitney Houston fell hard for him. She was almost pathologically jealous of him- she would track him down at a party somewhere and show up and surprise him! (before cellphones) Once we remember him at a party, ducking into a back room looking guilty when word got out that Whitney was at the front door asking for him. He loved her, but he WAS mischievous. Anyway, we bet Bobby’s kids wouldn’t believe that their dad was once a casanova…

NO DOUBT, IT’S FAMILY FIRST FOR GWEN STEFANI

Easter is a big day for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton and her three sons. First the group went to church together and afterward they stopped off at Ralph’s supermarket on La Brea (our neighborhood!) to pick up some snacks -cheese, drinks etc. (Our spy says they shopped like a married couple) Armed with treats, the family plus one, arrived at the home of Gwen’s parents for holiday dinner. Blake really seems to get along with Gwen’s sons.

WASTED BRUCE WILLIS: NOT AS FUNNY AS IT LOOKS

We have to admit we got a laugh out of seeing an intoxicated Bruce Willis being helped out of Annabel’s in London and plopped into his ride by two doormen. At second thought, maybe it’s NOT that funny. Bruce, a former bartender, has been mostly on the wagon in recovery for years, until not long ago when he admitted that he indulged in “a little wine” occasionally. Oops. It so happens that all three of his daughters have also been in recovery, so the desire NOT to drink runs in the family.

SIMON COWELL IS IN NO DANGER OF DROWNING

Year after year, like clockwork, Simon Cowell, 59, spends the Christmas holidays in Barbados. In years past he vacationed with various girlfriends, but since they’ve been together, he spends his winter vacation with Lauren Silverman, 41, and their four year old son Eric. Funny thing is, he never takes off that life vest. Every day Simon enjoys the beach and occasionally jet-skis, but he seems to have developed a fondness for that vest and never takes it off. (We see paparazzi photos daily) He usually has a New Years Eve party at the Sandy Lane Resort there, so we assume he will surrender the vest for that occasion…

DINNER IN BEVERLY HILLS WITH ADAM SANDLER

Adam Sandler took his family out to dinner dressed like THIS (he always dresses like a little boy- usually with a baseball cap,) but this time it’s no big deal. Adam and his wife Jackie (a former model) and their daughter Sadie, 12, had a casual meal at The Brighton Coffee Shop. For those who hate Adam Sandler movies, he is currently working on Uncut Gems, in which Adam is merely acting and has nothing to do with the script. It’s actually expected to be a decent film

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.
