IS BRITNEY SPEARS READY FOR A BOOK TOUR?

There’s one group of people who might NOT be so thrilled that the strikes in Hollywood seem to be ending – those in charge of promoting Britney Spears’ upcoming memoir, The Woman In Me. Britney‘s tell-all tome is supposed to hit bookstands on October 24, but according to our insider, her publishers were NOT upset that the Hollywood strikes might have prevented her from doing publicity to promote the autobiography. Now that the strike seem to be ending, some connected to the project fear that Britney is in no mental condition to go on a grueling book tour. If she babbles incoherently, it’s going to be a hard sell to make any reader believe she wrote any of the book!

IRINA SHAYK IS MORE THAN JUST A MOM

Bradley Cooper’s ex, model Irina Shayk, is obviously REALLY enjoying the attention she’s been getting from the press since she started dating Kanye West. Even photos of Kanye and Irina when they’re NOT together are becoming a hot commodity, and Irina is not avoiding the paparazzi. To maximize photo allure, Irina wore this black bustier with combat boots to pick up her daughter Lea at school. Certainly the other moms must have been wide-eyed. We cannot resist commenting on that stroller – why would a four year old ride on this mini “wheelchair” when she is perfectly capable of walking? It’s plain to see she has totally outgrown the vehicle.

PROTESTING FOR BLACK LIVES MATTER OR PUBLICITY?

Are celebrities using the protest march for publicity? Since the Black Lives Matter demonstrations have become a magnet for attractive young people with nothing to do thanks to the coronavirus, it does make you wonder. SOME celebs have been opportunistically removing their masks when they notice paparazzi nearby and deliberately making their presence known by waving signs and yelling. Gorgeous aspiring singer Madison Beer was accused of using the event for personal PR, but vehemently denied that motivation. Of course, it does give young celebrities credibility to be linked to a decent cause. Whatever the motive, supporting Black Lives Matter is a good thing to do – maybe we can look forward to having more female police officers.

LUKA SABBAT AND KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Actually, the budding friendship of Kourtney Kardashian and Grown-ish actor Luka Sabbat is a match in PUBLICITY heaven. (Luka was also a Yeezy model.) Kourtney loves being photographed with handsome young men and Luka just plain wants to become famous. Everybody knows that the best (and maybe easiest) way to become famous FAST is to date a Kardashian! And a 19 years OLDER woman is even better! Luka is a young fashion influencer who really wants to be noticed, so he and Kourtney turned up at the Virgil Abloh fashion party at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills.

KIM KARDASHIAN IS MORE INTERESTED IN GOOD PUBLICITY THAN JUSTICE

At first glance, Kim Kardashian’s visit to Donald Trump to plead with him to commute Alice Marie Johnson appears to be a well-intentioned deed. Alice had served 20 years of a life without parole for a non-violent drug crime. Kim saw a documentary about her plight and took up the cause. If she had performed this feat without fanfare – behind the scenes, it would have been quite impressive. But reality-star Kim was actually more interested in making HERSELF look like a kind and generous person than anything else. Her “performance” was documented from beginning to end – starting with the photo above – and this publicity is PRICELESS. When asked WHY she took up this cause, Kim modestly claimed that she appreciates all that SHE has and wants to do something good for other people. Really? She can’t do anything nice without shoving it in our faces? All Kim really cares about is the good PR she is now enjoying…

IS TORI SPELLING’S “MENTAL BREAKDOWN” A PUBLICITY STUNT?

For the past few weeks Tori Spelling seems to have been in a fragile mental state and there seem to be plenty of reasons. She spends too much money – especially on real estate she can’t afford – and she’s bombarded with lawsuits, property liens and tax problems. And of course she has five young kids at home, increasing the chaos. But is it all real? It turns out Tori and her Beverly Hills 90210 costar Jennie Garth are working on a new CBS series in which they play “exaggerated versions of themselves.” Is Tori drumming up excitement for the new show by sensationalizing her private life? Just Asking…

DO CELEBRITIES VOLUNTEER AT THE LA MISSION SIMPLY FOR THE GOOD PUBLICITY?

AG_095539_023LISAR

It’s a tradition. Every year at holiday time, celebrities turn up at the Los Angeles Mission downtown to dish out Christmas dinner for families on skid row. This year Emmy Rossum, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, and Garcelle Beauvais were among the famous volunteers. We can’t help but wonder if they would actually show up if there were no cameras. (What’s your opinion?) Harrison Ford’s chef son Ben (Ford’s Filling Station) was there cooking, so he was too busy to pose for many photos.

KIM KARDASHIAN ROCKS THE DAILY MAIL’S BOAT

121233PCN_KimCannes05cut

Kim Kardashian is trying to butter up what is probably the most important newspaper in the UK, The Daily Mail. It’s a particularly celebrity-friendly paper and extremely influential. (Everybody reads it.) She was photographed attending the paper’s yacht party in Cannes wearing this Egyptian inspired, terrifyingly tight dress. As usual she has that lobotomized expressionless look on her face – Kanye DID warn her never to look happy. Do you think he got the idea from observing Victoria Beckham?

TAYLOR SWIFT AND HARRY STYLES: A RELATIONSHIP OF MUTUAL CONVENIENCE

Conor Kennedy, 18, doesn’t have a thing to worry about – when it comes to his on again off again girlfriend Taylor Swift. The pair are on a break while he finishes high school and Taylor is on tour promoting her new album. Taylor, 22, has been seen hanging out with 18 year old Harry Styles of the boy band One Direction, and they are creating quite a stir among their young fans.What a coincidence! All this attention is great for BOTH of them because they both have new albums to promote, but insiders feel Taylor is still hooked on Conor and her friendship with Harry is career-driven. Harry was more than delighted to post photos of himself with Taylor at Central Park on Twitter.

HEIDI AND SPENCER ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMEBACK. DO YOU WANT THEM BACK?

#heidimontag #spencerpratt #janetcharlton

How the mighty have fallen. Perhaps you remember that annoying couple Spencer and Heidi from a few years ago? They did almost ANYTHING to get publicity for themselves and called photographers every time they left the house. In 2010, Heidi’s mother Darlene paid the pair a surprise visit and she got into a big argument with Heidi – her mother never liked Spencer and she was upset over Heidi’s extensive plastic surgery. Darlene refused to leave and the squabble got SO heated that Spencer called police to escort the mother out of the house. Heidi and her mother didn’t speak again until recently. Spencer immediately started trying to sell photos of Heidi and her mom reunited along with the story that their feud is over. He was shocked to learn that no one seems to CARE any more and readers aren’t interested! These two might actually have to go out and get JOBS!
