The Weeknd

THE WEEKND GREW OUT OF HIS PENTHOUSE

Perhaps Angelina Jolie should take a closer look at The Weeknd– they’ve had a few dinner dates, and now the singer (real name Abel Tesfaye) has put his 8000 sq ft Wilshire corridor penthouse on the market for $22.5 million. It has four bedrooms and eight (!) gorgeous bathrooms, a private elevator, and wraparound views of LA. The building features a saltwater pool and a helipad. (We happen to think there’s not enough outdoor space for a penthouse) The Weeknd might agree, because he’s packing up and leaving this place for the larger 70 million dollar Bel-Air estate he recently acquired.

FRENCH MONTANA BECAME THE WEEKND FOR A NIGHT

Another sensible low budget Halloween costume – this one pokes fun at The Weeknd. All French Montana needed were some drugstore bandages and a flashy jacket that he already had in his closet. Meanwhile, the Weeknd invested a whole lot of time with an amazing makeup artist to make him look like Marlon Brando as The Godfather. He even had little brown age spots – it’s worth looking for a photo (we couldn’t afford one.)

THE WEEKND LOOKS LIKE A GREAT CATCH

The Weeknd must be between girlfriends because he turned up at The Billboard Awards beautifully dressed and quite elegant- and provocatively available. We’ve grown accustomed to The Weeknd looking like an accident that just happened. For awhile he promoted his Blinding Lights video by walking around with a bandaged and bloody face – as if he was the victim of a drunk driving accident. After that he was seen around town looking like a plastic surgery addict inspired by his Save Your Tears video. He had a creative makeup artist give him the face of a person with a tight facelift, a severe nose job, and puffed lips. We almost forgot that he’s actually a nice looking guy…who took home a pile of Billboard trophies.

MADONNA YEARNS FOR THE KARDASHIAN LIFESTYLE

Madonna is returning to California! At least part time. She just bought a lavish home in Hidden Hills from The Weeknd for 19.3 million dollars and for some reason we can’t picture The Weeknd living in such a Kardashian style house. It’s one of those sumptuous estates in a private gated neighborhood right next to Calabasas. Nine bedrooms and eleven bathrooms in 13,500 sq ft plus a 2 bedroom guesthouse. A nice fitness space and media room, not to mention a basketball court (for the boyfriend?) and a five car garage with disco lighting. The house also features a dramatic and flattering state of the art lighting system. We were particularly smitten with her new closet. Madonna is coming back to Southern California IN STYLE…

THE WEEKND: WHO NEEDS ANOTHER GRAMMY?

Cannot remember the last time we saw The Weeknd without bandages on his face! Was it March?The bandages have everything to do with his song Blinding Lights – which happens to be Billboard’s #1 Hot Song of 2020. He WAS disappointed that The Grammys ignored the song, but he soothed his troubles today by shopping on Rodeo Drive. He was with a cute young woman, but for SOME reason when they saw the paparazzi, she ran off and disappeared into a parking garage. Presumably they were reunited later…

EVERYBODY’S TALKING ABOUT THE WEEKND’S NOSE

This is how The Weekend looked as he walked out after performing for the VMA Awards in New York. He’s wearing the same red jacket and has the same bloody bandaged nose that you saw when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and SNL. This is how he looks whenever he performs songs from his new album After Hours. He released videos with the album featuring the same look. His “character” in the creepy, dark videos is either a victim or a monster – you be the judge. His makeup artist must be working overtime…

IS THE WEEKND A LONELY GUY? (NOT FOR LONG)

Even a music powerhouse can end up alone for the holidays. The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye) is always at the top of the charts – he’s an R&B phenomenon. He dated supermodel Bella Hadid for a long time, and most recently Selena Gomez. But Selena left him and went back to Justin Bieber not long ago. He was seen in the company of Bella several times and observers expected them to spend the holidays together, but nothing happened. He was photographed leaving Tao in Hollywood alone…

SELENA GOMEZ: BEST DRESSED THIS WEEK

Selena Gomez looks like a classic Hollywood movie star a la Ava Gardner in this photo taken at the Business of Fashion Gala in New York. Her sheer and delicate dress is a welcome relief from all those low cut gowns with long slits that you see everywhere. Selena, 25, has never looked better – maybe it has something to do with her 8 month relationship with The Weeknd. It appears she has finally put Justin Bieber behind her, and she’s moved into a better place…or is it called “growing up?”

THIS LUCKY PUP HAS A GREAT LIFE AHEAD OF HIM

Selena Gomez and her boyfriend The Weeknd spent some time this weekend playing with puppies at Citipups in New York. Apparently there was one puppy they couldn’t get out of their minds. Finally they broke down and Selena sent her assistant to pick up this Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and bring it home to Selena’s apartment. We wonder if they’re adopting together…

NEW HAIRCUT IS WORKING FOR THE WEEKND

We’ve always liked dreadlocks and wished we could have some of our own, but we just hated looking at The Weeknd’s clumpy dreads (especially in back.) We knew they were clean, but they still reminded us of homeless people. Cute guy- nasty hair. FINALLY he’s come to his senses, and the style challenged Canadian has apparently chopped the dreadful dreads OFF in celebration of his new album. He has a whole new look! So far we only have this album photo, but we can hardly wait to see him in a paparazzi photo with his girlfriend Bella Hadid.
