Father

MACHINE GUN KELLY IS MORE THAN JUST MEGAN FOX’ S “BEAUTIFUL BOY”

A rapper might be the LAST person you’d expect to be a great father, so Machine Gun Kelly’s relationship with his daughter is quite a surprise. Right now MGK is busy with his new girlfriend Megan Fox, but he ALWAYS finds time for his 11 year old daughter Casie. Casie was born when Kelly was only 18 years old, but they’ve maintained a close bond, and he takes her everywhere. (He also sings the praises of her mother!) When she was little, he taught Casie to skateboard, got her dance lessons, and taught her to sing. She was backstage at many of his shows and sometimes joins him onstage dancing and rapping. Naturally she adores her dad, who’s a lot more responsible than he looks…

AT LEAST AMBER HEARD SCORED FLOWERS AT THE MARKET

Amber Heard and her father David went grocery shopping at Gelsons in Los Feliz but they probably didn’t find much to buy. (We were there two days ago and the shelves were ransacked with very little left. We were happy to stock up on frozen dinners.) Amber’s father works in the construction business and as a part-time actor. A lot of actors are out of work now with most productions canceled, so you never know who will be competing with you for that last package of toilet paper!

CASEY AFFLECK TRIES TO BE A DECENT FATHER

There’s something fascinating about celebrities shopping in supermarkets – in fact, one of the fun advantages of living in LA is the possibility of running into a movie star while grocery shopping. Luke Perry once absentmindedly tossed his apples in my shopping cart at Ralph’s. Casey Affleck keeps his two sons far from Hollywood events but he does shop with them. It’s amazing that a photographer noticed Casey and his long-haired son Indiana, 16, because his beard makes him look like every other guy. (The Oscar winner has been somewhat undercover since he was accused of sexual harassment) The Afflecks were shopping at Gelson’s – the same store Brad Pitt and Dita Von Teese frequent.

CHRIS ROCK: A LOUSY HUSBAND BUT A NOT-SO-BAD FATHER

Chris Rock took his daughter Zahra, who is about to turn 16, out to lunch and shopping in Soho. Rock divorced his wife Malaak in 2015 and admits he was a cheater. It’s interesting that when they broke up Chris moved out of their New Jersey mansion, but NOT to a swinging bachelor pad in the city – he bought another house around the corner so he could be close to his kids and share custody! (Ben Affleck did the same thing when he divorced.) Chris also fought an expensive battle in court to share custody of his three girls. Must be fun to have Chris for a father…

MEGHAN MARKLE GREW UP ON THE SET OF “MARRIED WITH CHILDREN”

Here’s something we didn’t know about Meghan Markle: she grew up on the set of the 90’s TV series Married With Children! Last year Meghan told Esquire magazine that her father Thomas Markle worked on the show as a camera operator and lighting director for ten years, and every day after school she came to the set in her Catholic school uniform and did her homework while her father worked. She admitted the raunchy show was a rather “perverse” place to grow up, but her father shielded her from the naughtier moments. This makes Meghan’s estrangement from her father even sadder, since they were obviously once so close…

L.A. DOES HAVE THE BEST LOOKING COPS

The fan that pointed out that Kylie Jenner’s baby Stormi looks more like Kylie’s bodyguard Tim Chung than boyfriend Travis Scott made a brilliant observation. 26 year old part-time security guard Chung is an LA policeman and an occasional model. That observant fan has made him a mini-celebrity and now he has over half a million followers on Instagram. Tim has worked off and on for the Kardashian family guarding other sisters and kids. Actually Stormi would be genetically luckier if Tim WAS her dad – he’s a lot better looking than rapper Travis Scott.

DRAKE’S DADDY DRESSED UP LIKE A PIMP FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

We can’t imagine what it’s like to have a father who dresses like THIS! Dennis Graham is a dead ringer for a 1970’s Chicago pimp. He‘s a musician from Memphis and used to be Jerry Lee Lewis’s drummer. Dennis recently released a music video featuring himself in a pimp suit, sitting on a gold throne surrounded by young women. Apparently this is an image he cultivates. Fashion-wise we think he’d look better if he lost the big mustache. Hopefully Drake will not take after his dad.

WE SHOULD ALL BE AS LUCKY AS TERI HATCHER

Former Desperate Housewife Teri Hatcher just looks SO happy having a father-daughter day touring Paris with her father Owen Hatcher. They visited several landmarks – a museum, the Palais Royal Gardens and Notre Dame, and they walked the Parisian streets, stopping for a pick–me-up at a patisserie. Owen is a retired nuclear physicist and Teri has been in Vancouver filming her new series Supergirl, in which she plays a villain. Teri’s parents moved from their northern California home to be closer to Teri and her daughter Emerson.

GUESS WHOSE FATHER THIS FANCY MAN IS

Since Drake and his dad Dennis Graham became friends again, Dennis has been enjoying his own notoriety. Dennis appeared in a fancy suit in Drake’s Worst Behavior video and now he’s often recognized. He and Drake were estranged for years after he divorced Drake’s mother. Memphis native Dennis is Jerry Lee Lewis’s former drummer and he’s an accomplished musician as well as a dandy and a ladies man, as you can tell by this photo. Dennis was amused by the sign a panhandler was holding outside The Nice Guy.

HEIDI KLUM AND HER MYSTERY MAN

2E121BBE0000057klum

Heidi Klum, 42, posted this Instagram photo of herself “having a midnight snack” in Munich with a man identified as her father Gunther. It looks like it was taken in Heidi’s hotel room and Heidi and her dad are about to devour chocolate cake ordered from room service. Gunther, 69, is also Heidi’s manager, and he must be very happy because he’s partly responsible for her becoming one of the most successful models of all time.
