BLAST FROM THE PAST: MADONNA’S SPENDING HABITS


A paparazzi and longtime friend of ours, Gary Lewis, is coming out with a fabulous book (He has GREAT celebrity photos and stories) and we happened to snag these two photos of young Madonna. Back in the late 80’s, Madonna worked out feverishly at Jane Fonda’s Workout four times a week, and she ALWAYS got parking tickets because she never fed the meter! Finally her manager Freddy DeMann became furious because she was wasting thousands of dollars on tickets plus penalties and interest. He insisted she start putting money in the meters. Photographer Gary caught her nonchalantly taking tickets off her windshield and later putting money in the meters. Madonna usually exercised way too long and the meters expired anyway. She was always nice to Gary, so he often put change in the meter for her. Eventually Madonna got tired of her manager’s complaints and she solved the problem by “stealing” his assistant away and hiring her to be her personal driver. So no more parking problems.

(We almost forgot how young and innocent Madonna looked in those days…)

ROBERT F KENNEDY JR IS GETTING IN SHAPE TO BE PRESIDENT

Unlikely presidential candidate and vaccine denier, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hopes his ripped body will win over female voters. No kidding! As misogynistic as it sounds, a source reveals that RFK Jr.’s political strategy includes showing off his tanned and muscular physique as often as possible -and then comparing himself to octogenarian Joe Biden. He kicked off his new “sexy campaign strategy” on Twitter this week, posting a shirtless video doing push-ups and remarking how he’s getting in shape to debate the president (even though no debates are planned.) My source insists this isn’t a joke and we should plan to see more shirtless shots all throughout the campaign. We are torn between being amused by his strategy or insulted…

DOES ROBERT PATTINSON LOOK MORE LIKE A JUNKIE, OR A SUPERHERO?

Comic book fansites have been discussing the possibility that Robert Pattinson FAKED having coronavirus because he’s clashing with his Batman director Matt Reeves. Reeves instructed Pattinson to work out before shooting started to build up some Batman muscle, and he didn’t. (Someone remarked that the Twilight star looks more like a junkie than a superhero) The director is afraid the stuntmen in Batman suits will look much bigger than Robert, so he supposedly closed down production so the actor had time to get in shape, and CLAIMED it was due to coronavirus. Pattinson STILL failed to beef up and now he and the director are at odds and the production schedule is a mess.

KALEY COUCO: ATTACKED FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING

Little did Kaley Cuoco suspect when she posted a video of herself working out with a mask, that she’d be met by a firestorm of criticism! The Big Bang Theory star innocently captioned her Instagram video “My newest obsession: 20 minutes, a jump rope, and good music” She appears to be jumping in a hotel or private gym. She was immediately bombarded with criticism and sarcasm – people told her working out with a mask was bad for her health (it’s NOT) that she was setting a bad example for kids, etc! She was shocked, but calmly responded “I wear a mask when I’m in an enclosed space around others, and when I’m outside around others – I’m protecting myself and everyone around me.”

RAY LIOTTA’S WORKOUT IS EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS

We have to admire Ray Liotta for his determination. Trainers at Gold’s Gym are now putting their clients through their workouts OUTSIDE. Of course, that means paparazzi are delighted because celebrities are very easy to snap – often in peculiar positions. The Shades of Blue and Goodfellas star, 65, is determined to keep fit and he’s highly motivated. Not only for work, but Ray has a cute girlfriend 20 years younger, Jacy Nittolo, and he seems crazy about her. They’ve been seen smooching in several locations lately, including a gas station.

MICHELLE PFEIFFER IS “JUST NOT FEELIN’ IT”

The look on her face says it all. Haven’t most of us been in this situation? This photo that Michelle Pfeiffer posted reeks of authenticity. She put on her workout clothes and perched on her gym equipment, while trying to psych herself up into starting her exercise routine. But she just can’t. We all have days like this – probably more of them recently than ever before. Occasionally, a fitness regimen can seem like a MONUMENTAL task. Somehow it’s comforting to know that Michelle has the same problem…

PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER BICYCLES THE HARD WAY

File this under “creative ways of working out during a pandemic.” Since gyms closed, we’ve seen a LOT of celebrities out walking and riding bikes that we’ve NEVER seen exercising in public before. They have to find new ways of working muscles accustomed to gym equipment. Patrick Schwarzenegger has expert tips from his father Arnold, and today he was riding a stand-up bicycle that we never knew existed. A whole different challenge for leg muscles and balance. Hopefully he will avoid heavy traffic…

KAIA GERBER AND CINDY CRAWFORD WORK UP A SWEAT

How many mothers and daughters do you know who actually work out together? (Forget about looking this good while doing it.) She may be young, but Kaia Gerber is already a successful model, so working out is a necessary part of her career. It just so happens she has an expert (mom Cindy Crawford) with years of experience to teach her what matters. Kaia just turned 17 in New York and we find it had to believe, but she claims that she eats pasta every day.

MADONNA MEANS BUSINESS IN THE GYM

Madona leaving studio in west holywood.

Madonna is in West Hollywood and she could be coming to a gym near you! Madonna, 55, not only keeps up with her young dancers but she pushes them to exercise MORE. She’s hiding under her dark hoody as the sweaty group leaves a rigorous Soul Cycle class. But Madonna’s not finished – she took them all to a Pilates studio for more working out.

ANNE HATHAWAY ONE-UPPED HER HUSBAND IN THE GYM

109932PCN_Anne02cut

Anne Hathaway and her husband of two years, Adam Shulman, share a number of traits – among them- they coproduced her new movie Song One, and they are close to the same size. Adam is slender and Anne towers over him in heels. Our gym source informed us that Anne and Adam share a trainer who puts them both through their paces, taking turns on equipment at an LA gym. During a recent workout, Adam strained to complete his sets on an upper body machine. When it was Anne’s turn, she couldn’t help smirking as she ADDED weight with a clunk and a flourish, for HER sets on the same machine. Competitive?
