WHICH ADAM LAMBERT DO YOU PREFER?

Filed Under: Adam Lambert > American Idol > Photo Play > Rockabilly

Details magazine saw something in American Idol’s Adam Lambert that we never noticed before. We knew he was cute, but he’s really sexy when he’s done up as a 50’s kind of rockabilly rebel James Dean type. In fact, he’s a knockout. Which way do YOU like him best?

DON'T ASK ANGELINE TO SMILE FOR THE CAMERA

Here’s a rare photo of Los Angeles billboard queen Angelyne, and we’ll tell you why it’s rare. Because Angelyne refuses to pose for photos unless a Polaroid camera is used! She thinks polaroids are more flattering but, of course, nobody has Polaroid cameras anymore, so Angelyne won’t cooperate with photographers. She’s pictured here having coffee with a young man wearing an Angelyne T shirt.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED DIDN'T DO MICHAEL PHELPS ANY FAVORS

Filed Under: Michael Phelps > Photo Play > Sports Illustrated

Michael Phelps is everybody’s hero, but are we the only ones who admit that we think he looks like a supergeek on this Sports Illustrated cover? How could they do this to him? This photo will follow him for the rest of his life. To put it politely, it minimizes his attributes. The magazine bends over backwards to make sure their swimsuit models look good. They couldn’t give our Olympic paragon a break? We could take a better photo in our backyard.

WOULD YOU ASK THIS MAN FOR AN AUTOGRAPH?

Filed Under: Photo Play > Richard Grieco > Richard Ramirez

A reader sent us this photo of Richard Grieco and remarked that he resembled Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. We don’t think it looks like Ramirez OR Grieco, but when we checked it out, we found out this demented looking guy really IS Richard Grieco. He’s changed a lot since “21 Jump Street.” Of course, anybody can take a bad picture.

WHILE THE REST OF US GAG, HEIDI AND SPENCER ARE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK

These incredibly corny photo set-ups that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag arrange, continue to be a significant source of income. SOMEBODY is actually buying them! On Valentines day they “shared” their tender moments when Spencer gave Heidi a pair of platform shoes as a gift (?) and they smooched on a yacht. Seriously, these arranged photo-ops pull in an average of $10,000 a week for the couple to split! (Spencer used to take ALL the money until Heidi found out they were getting paid.) Nauseating, isn’t it?

A CLASSIC DAVID SPADE ENCOUNTER

David Spade parked in the Taco Bell lot yesterday on Beverly Blvd and walked past a homeless man on his way into the restaurant. Suddenly his noticed a photographer aiming at him and stopped in his tracks. He slyly announced “Oh, I guess this is where I give the homeless guy some money. I’ll pretend I don’t see the camera – just like George Clooney does.” He pulled out a wad of money and peeled off a ten dollar bill for the grateful guy. Mission accomplished: the photographer was happy, the raggedy guy was happy, and David looks like Mr Nice Guy.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: DIGITAL PERFECTION

Filed Under: Keira Knightley > Photo Play

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is in the final days of post production, but they had a last minute expense. Keira Knightley’s complexion wasn’t up to snuff, so they called in special effects experts to smooth it out. Keira, 22, was said to have had a bad reaction to make-up, and she broke out with acne during filming. Despite the best lighting efforts, the bumps still showed so they were digitally removed in every close-up. Now she looks as beautiful as Johnny Depp.

CAMERON DIAZ: WATCH YOUR HEAD!

Was Cameron Diaz inspired by Steve Martin’s old “arrow in the head” comedy routine into wearing this headgear? Or is this a nice way of saying “fork you” to photographers? Actually, she doesn’t have a fork in her head – Cameron happened to be right in front of a restaurant sign as she leaves her gym. But it IS a funny picture, isn’t it?

GUESS WHO?!

Filed Under: Photo Play

Above you have a still-famous member of a notorious U.K. punk band that RULED in the 70’s. Now he’s famous for something else. Here he’s lounging by the pool at 999 North Doheny Drive in his new Speedo – trying to get rid of tan lines. Surprised to see no tattoos?

Okay, maybe you guessed that the wet Brit is Steve Jones of the Sex pistols. Now he’s a famous DJ on Jonesy’s Jukebox at Indie 103.1. This is a recent picture of Jonesy with 70’s rock photographer Brad Elterman who took the original shot years ago. We both lived at 999 Doheny in those days – Brad invited Steve over for a photo shoot in the pool. Back then, Steve was delighted to be invited to swim in a pool. Brad says Steve was “really sweet with a cockney accent.” Brad is having a retrospective of some of his rockin’ photos this week in Beverly Hills sponsored by Next Models Management.

GUESS WHO!

We stumbled across this old photo of a very famous a-list actress in her first role. We didn’t recognize her at first. Do you?

GWEN STEFANI: COOL N' CREAMY

We knew that Gwen Stefani’s delectable hairdo reminded us of a sweet confection. Recently we realized exactly which one: Tastee Freeze!

TOM CRUISE: TWO OF A KIND

Filed Under: Photo Play > Tom Cruise

We got such a positive reaction to the lookalike photos of Sly Stallone and his mother, that we just HAD to show you another set of mother-son photos from the Daily Mail. It’s apparent that Tom Cruise does not take after his father – whoever he was. Tom and his mother Mary have the same megawatt smile.

IS THIS FOR REAL?

Filed Under: Katie Holmes > Photo Play > Tom Cruise

Is this a sinister plot or an odd camera angle – or an accurate portrayal of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? In this recent photo taken at the Beverly Regent Hotel Tom appears miniscule next to his towering girlfriend. She IS wearing high heels but the height difference is startling. Tom’s fans are outraged – they claim people are conspiring to make Tom appear foolish and insist the picture is Photoshopped. They feel this is just the latest form of harrassment against their idol. We don’t know if it’s a joke or not, but it is a hoot.

GIRL MOST WANTED

Filed Under: Jessica Simpson > Photo Play

Is ANYBODY surprised to learn that Jessica Simpson’s father Joe is probably making tons of money from photographs of his daughters? Joe has some kind of deal with the biggest photo agency WireImage, according to Jeannette Walls – he might give them inside tips about photo ops or give them his own family photos to be sold. Either way he makes a bundle and as we have pointed out, he’s not the only celebrity’s relative to cash in.Of course many celebs want a cut of photo money for themselves – like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Harry Morton, Kate Hudson, Nicole Richie and Brody Jenner (and MANY more.) They ALL set up photo ops and take a cut of the profits. One of the few NOT under suspicion is Jennifer Aniston – she doesn’t need the money OR the publicity. And her photos are worth the MOST!

DOUBLE TAKE

Filed Under: Channing Tatum > Photo Play > Wentworth Miller

If this is the result of cloning – we’re all for it. You can’t have too many guys like these. Seriously, there IS a striking resemblance between Channing Tatum (Step Up) and Wentworth Miller (Prison Break) and it’s not just the shaved heads. Both actors also have first names that are last names.

We can’t resist showing you this superglam shot of Felicity Huffman. That Bree character she played in our FAVORITE movie of last year, Transamerica, (It SHOULD have taken home the Oscar in our opinion) tends to stick in ones mind, and we need to be reminded that she can look really pretty too!

U GOT THE LOOK

Filed Under: Photo Play > Prince

Talk about re-inventing yourself! We’ve been obsessed with this stunning transformation ever since this early photo of Prince turned up. As a teen he looked almost beefy and athletic, but with a hint of attitude. He even sports the adams apple and thick neck of a tough guy. Certainly, fashion was NOT his middle name in those days. How did he go from street-wise to “pretty?” Granted, he has pared down his weight, and tamed his coiffure, but there HAS to be more than weight loss and grooming involved in this fascinating evolution. Is that nose a teensy bit more refined? We love Prince and welcome any information on this delicious phenomenon!
