Looks like Justin Bieber went to dinner in London and wanted to avoid attention so he dressed like one of his own security team. But the bright yellow sweatshirt also made him stand out like a canary. So we’re not sure if he accomplished what he hoped, but he looks well protected.

Seems like every day we hear more reasons NOT to like Kanye West. We think Anna Wintour should have ejected him from the Met Ball for wearing torn jeans to the strictly black tie event. In NOT doing so, she reinforced his belief that he is SPECIAL and rules don’t apply to him. We have long heard that he tells his wife Kim what to do and she obeys. Now his former bodyguard has dropped a few nuggets of information about his ex-boss. The guard was fired after speaking directly to Kim. The guard told The Sun that Kanye is incredibly condescending and totally self-absorbed. He doesn’t speak to or acknowledge his security staff. When they watch him at dinner in a restaurant, he NEVER offers them so much as a glass of water. Other celebs often have guards eat at the next table. People around Kanye indulge him and walk around on eggshells, hoping not to set him off. His handlers apologize for him. The security guy cannot imagine why Kim stays married to him. It seems that manners and respect are not a part of Kanye’s life.

Britney Spears is one of the most famous pop stars around, but at the airport she doesn’t get any special treatment when it comes to security. She and her two sons Sean and Jayden had to go through two screening devices and something about Britney kept setting off alarms. She had to take off her hat, her glasses, and her shoes and became increasingly annoyed as she attracted more and more attention. But she kept her cool.

Kanye West’s colossal ego continues to amaze us. According to The Hollywood Reporter, West has ordered TWO armored vehicles for 1.2 million dollars each, with all the frills. (His and Hers?) We always thought that only popes, dictators, drug lords, and terrorists bought this type of SUV, so Kanye must think he’s awfully important. Frankly we have never heard of a celebrity shot in his car simply for being famous so why does Kanye feel the need for this protection? Maybe he has a beef with some gangster rapper, who knows…

We’ve all heard the story that Whitney Houston was buried wearing $800,000 worth of jewelry and certainly we wondered WHY her family would do such a thing – AND let the information leak out. Nightmarish visions of grave robbers couldn’t help but dance in our heads. According to recent rumors, the family has decided it’s not practical to have 24 hr guards protecting Whitney’s grave, so they plan to encase her casket in cement to discourage vandals. All this sounds like a good case for cremation, to us.
We were just waiting for THIS to happen. When The Enquirer revealed that Whitney Houston was buried with $500,00 worth of jewelry, you could just imagine the grave robbers making plans. Whose brilliant idea was THAT? Her burial site in Westfield, New Jersey, has been closed to the general public for the past week after hordes of fans overran the cemetery. 24 hour armed security guards have been hired by the family to keep her grave from being robbed. What a waste of money.
We arrived at Barneys in Beverly Hills Friday afternoon and noticed security type men in black suits with ear-pieces discreetly parked in several corners on the first floor. Suspicious that a celebrity might be in the store, we asked a salesperson who refused to talk. A friendlier clerk upstairs said there had been a trunk show in the designer department. A sweep of the designer floor revealed nothing so we went to the restaurant upstairs for coffee. Seated across the room was a striking woman with long black hair deep in conversation with another woman. We all got up to leave at the same time and the woman stood up and we were SHOCKED by her incredible height. She appeared to be around 6’7” and very slim. (The first thing we thought was: this poor woman, how can she buy clothes to fit her?) When she got in the elevator with us (and a bodyguard) we realized: this is L’Wren Scott, 44, Mick Jagger’s girlfriend. (6’3” in flats) She’s a model-turned-stylist-turned-designer, and they’ve been together for ten years. Apparently Mick, 5’10”, likes that she has a successful career of her own and he takes GOOD care of her because HE provided all those security guards for her trunk show. No sign of Mick, however.

According to the Hollywood grapevine, Halle Berry is really freaked out by the stalker that has been climbing her wall and looking in her kitchen window. She no longer feels safe in her house and is looking around for another one that has not only high walls and a gate, but a private street with security. In the back of her mind she’s also afraid that her baby daddy Gabriel will use the safety issue to get more custody time with Nahla because nobody stalks HIM, and THAT is pushing her to find another home.

This is how blonde Jared Leto tried to look unobtrusive at the airport. A hood and sunglasses is not the way to travel under the radar. Security took one look at his unibomber style and pulled him aside for a thorough search. We would have done the same thing.
