LADY GAGA IS DOING WHAT THE ROMANS DO

Sorry to see that Lady Gaga is smoking up storm in Rome after swearing she’d never go back to her two packs a day habit. She vowed she’d “never smoke again” after quitting in 2020, but something about being in Rome changed that. At first we thought her dog kidnapping might have caused to her start again, but her precious dogs were returned. Then we figured her House of Gucci director Ridley Scott might be pushing her awfully hard. But she’s smoking when she’s out having fun at night with friends, so she has only herself to blame for the unfortunate lapse…

MICHAEL MADSEN: BAD BOYS DISCUSSING THEIR NEXT MOVIE…OR MOVE?

Looks like Michael Madsen has recovered from the Chinese Theater Walk of Fame ceremony a few weeks ago. You will remember the event had a very small turnout, which was fortunate because Madsen seemed to be drunk or hungover and had to be helped to the podium. He had a bump on his head and apologized to his wife for recent bad behavior during his speech. This week he turned up in Rome where he had a meeting with Italian producer Andrea Iervolino at a cafe in Rome. Two years ago this producer was accused of sexual battery by a business woman at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The suit was dismissed when the woman ended up mysteriously dropping charges.

SHARON STONE IS NEVER WITHOUT A BOYFRIEND FOR LONG

Yes, Sharon Stone is quite a catch. She’s had more than her share of boyfriends, but this latest one is different. He’s Enzo Cursio, 50 – ten years younger than Sharon, but no boy toy. He’s an accomplished journalist and human rights activist and this year he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. We’re guessing they met because Sharon is an AIDS activist herself. Sharon is currently in Rome filming her new TV series The New Pope with Jude Law. The couple turned up at an event for the Global Champions Tour for horse jumping. Wonder if Bruce Springsteen’s daughter Jessica will be there…

127754PCN_Sarah09cut

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t only visit the expensive designer shops while she’s in Rome – she also patronizes the local flea markets! (A girl after our own heart!) Above, bargain hunters were surprised to run into the “Sex & the City” star at the Via Sannio outdoor market in the city. She enthusiastically rummaged through the clothing, tried on several vintage hats, and examined leather handbags. How she shops in those high heels remains a mystery.

Daryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and Stephen Baldwin are in Rome filming a movie called “Sight of the Dead.” No information is available about the movie, but it looks like one of those low budget horror movies that might or might not be good. The idea of filming on location in Rome could be what appealed to the actors. Believe it or not, Michael Madsen is set film do 11 assorted movies this year. The off-duty actors seem to be very interested in their lunch at an Italian restaurant.

Alec Baldwin is no dummy. He rushed his fiancee Hilaria Thomas OUT of New York so she couldn’t read any more about his highly suspicious blonde “stalker” with whom he may or may not have had an affair. He swept Hilaria off to Rome for a romantic vacation and shopping spree. What better way to be distracted from your problems than shopping in Rome? He bought her some nice things and made sure to show a little romance in the street. Good timing.

Is Woody Allen planning to film in every European country? Now he’s in Rome filming his latest “The Bop Decameron” with an amazing cast (including Woody himself) – Jesse Eisenberg, Ellen Page, Penelope Cruz, Alec Baldwin, and many Italians including Roberto Benigni, whom we haven’t seen in awhile. The film consists of four vignettes of sophisticated wit, family dilemmas, and romance. Above, Woody took Soon-Yi and his daughters Manzie (in pink) and Bechet (in the floral skirt) shopping at Fendi.
