MARIAH CAREY BANS LED LIGHTS FROM HER WORLD!

Dublin is all aflutter because Mariah Carey arrived today for her first concert EVER, in that city. Mariah’s mother’s family is Irish, so it’s surprising that it took so long for her to perform there. We confess we ARE fascinated by this poster ad for her show – her proportions in the photo are alarming. Very slim short body, long legs and GIGANTIC FEET! We heard that Mariah DID make a few backstage demands – she insisted that her dressing room have white carpeting and she had all the lights onstage replaced – she HATES those unflattering LED lights! (So do we)

Pervert Photo Play Terry Richardson

TERRY RICHARDSON: GENIUS OR PERVERT, OR BOTH?

Bravo to the New York Post for their story “EXPOSING TERRY RICHARDSON, FASHION’S FAVORITE PERVERT.” For years we wondered how this sleazy photographer got away with taking advantage of young models for his highly sexualized imagery. We knew nothing about his past, but were not surprised to learn that he was a 10th grade dropout who started doing heroin at 18. His father was a fashion photographer who happened to be a bisexual bipolar schizophrenic. Terry treasures the last photo of his fun-loving late mother, above. The top photo shows Terry with Corey Feldman. Celebrities admire Richardson’s work and notoriety, but naive young models had better beware. Click HERE to read the whole sick story.

China Harper's Bazaar Photo Play Sarah Jessica Parker

CHINA’S IDEA OF WHAT SARAH JESSICA PARKER SHOULD LOOK LIKE

Certainly it’s an honor to grace the cover of Harpers Bazaar China, but….what have they DONE to our Carrie? We mean Sarah Jessica Parker, of course. In their attempt to make Sarah flawless, the Chinese photoshoppers have radically changed her looks and stolen her personality. SINISTER is not a look we are accustomed to seeing on Sarah’s face!

Halle Berry Halloween Photo Op Photo Play

HALLE BERRY IS HAVING WAY TOO MUCH FUN

#halleberry #janetcharlton

Halle Berry and Nahla look like they’re having the time of their lives at Mr Bones Pumpkin Patch. Nahla is dressed up and has her face painted like Raggedy Ann and Halle looks like a doting mom. We can’t help but wonder if Halle is deliberately allowing these photos to be taken and plans to tearfully show them to the custody judge to prove that she and Nahla can’t get privacy in the US and should be allowed to move to France…

Elizabeth Taylor Lindsay Lohan Liz and Dick Photo Play Photoshop?

SUDDENLY LINDSAY LOHAN IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE LIZ TAYLOR

All of a sudden we’re starting to think that maybe Lindsay Lohan CAN be a convincing Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie “Liz and Dick.” This doctored up photo makes it all seem plausible. Lindsay will certainly be convincing in the later years of the romance with Richard Burton when Liz was a big drinker, but can she pull off the Cleopatra glamour years? Time will tell…

Blake Lively Gossip Girl Karl Lagerfeld Leonardo DiCaprio Penn Badgley Photo Play

EVEN BLAKE LIVELY CAN MAKE AN OCCASIONAL ERROR IN JUDGMENT

Blake Lively has been loudly protesting that those nude photos of her supposedly taken BY her are absolutely fakes! We think she’s really embarrassed by her own youthful indiscretion. The pics were taken some time after 2007 when that particular phone came out, and she appears to be in a hotel room or trailer. Back then she was just starting “Gossip Girl” and dating Penn Badgley. We’re betting she was off doing a photo shoot or something, felt lonely, and sent him these pics on an impulse. Little did she know that in a few years she would become an important movie actress, a fashion muse for Karl Lagerfeld and Leonardo DiCaprio’s new squeeze! SOMEHOW the photos leaked, and she sicced her lawyers on the case screaming their denials. Ho-hum.

Beatles Lost Photo Play Rolling Stone

IN 1964 THE BEATLES CAME TO HOLLYWOOD

Photo: Bob Bonis

Rolling Stone featured some Lost Beatles photos in their last issue and we love this one from their first visit to Los Angeles. They arrived her in August, 1964, for their concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The Ambassador Hotel cancelled their reservations because they were afraid of the mobs of fans that followed The Beatles. British actor Reginald Owen saved the day and rented his Bel Air mansion (above) to them for the four days they were in town.

Birthday Francesca Hilton Money Photo Play Prince Frederick Von Anhalt Zsa Zsa Gabor

“PRINCE” FREDERICK SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ZSA ZSA

Shame, shame, shame on Zsa Zsa Gabor’s so called “Prince” for setting up this photo op and selling the pictures (with himself prominently featured, of course) ! We’re all happy that she was able to celebrate her 94th birthday, although “Prince” Frederick saw to it that her own daughter Francesca was not invited to participate. Anyone familiar with Zsa Zsa, knows that she would NEVER have willingly posed for a photo without having her hair and makeup done! Apparently she is too out of it to protest, and her greedy husband propped her up and took advantage. This isn’t the first time he’s had her photographed for profit when she’s too ill to object. It’s disrespectful and we understand why Francesca loathes the “prince” whom SHE prefers to call the “queen.”

Christina Aguilera Joel Madden Kim Kardashian Money Nicole Richie Photo Play Tabloids Weddings

NICOLE RICHIE WANTS TOP DOLLAR FOR WEDDING PHOTOS AND PARIS HILTON WOULDN’T UP THE STAKES

Nicole Richie was juggling the invitation list to her wedding until the last minute because she wanted to sell the photo rights for top dollar. Big celebrities bring more money. Nicole’s people were pitting the weeklies against each other to get the best offer. (Keep in mind she took a paparazzi to court recently to keep him away from her family.) When Kim Kardashian and Christina Aguilera both couldn’t attend, the photo price went DOWN, but Nicole still didn’t weaken and invite her frenemy Paris Hilton. Apparently Paris wouldn’t have upped the value of wedding photos. Instead Nicole arranged to have an elephant at the event.

Internet Keanu Reeves Photo Play Sad Keanu

KEANU REEVES IS BARELY AWARE OF “SAD KEANU” INTERNET SENSATION

Photos via: Buzzfoto
We don’t think Keanu Reeves is really all that “sad” but we get a huge kick out of the “Sad Keanu“ internet phenomenon. Someone took paparazzi photos of Keanu eating a sandwich alone on a park bench and started superimposing the Keanus into all kinds of different scenes with funny and absurd results. Keanu himself is only mildly aware of the situation and says “it sounds like harmless fun,” which it is. If he ever gets around to googling “Sad Keanu” he will be overwhelmed with amusing photos.
