King Charles evicting Harry, Meghan from Frogmore Cottage, giving to Andrew https://pagesix.com/2023/03/01/king-charles-evicting-harry-meghan-from-frogmore-cottage/ Couple of interesting bits to me: King Charles III is kicking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle out of Frogmore Cottage — and gifting it to disgraced royal Prince Andrew. A source confirms to Page Six that the incoming king began the eviction process in January just one day after the redheaded royal’s memoir “Spare” hit shelves. “This eviction surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK,” a source told The Sun. The 5-bedroom home will serve as a major downgrade for Prince Andrew, who is used to more luxurious digs at Royal Lodge, which includes a pool and 30 bedroom. Naturally, he’s against the move. “Andrew is resisting the idea of moving into Frogmore Cottage after he was offered it last week,” the source told The Sun. “But it shows Harry and Meghan are powerless to stop the eviction.”

Johnny Depp Makes Girl's Dream Come True with School Visit By Simon Perry Thursday October 07, 2010 03:50 PM EDT people.com If you want to rise up against authority, who better to reach out to than a pirate? That's what schoolgirl Beatrice Delap, 9, did when she penned a note to Johnny Depp. Writing to his pirate alter-ego, Captain Jack Sparrow, who just happened to be stationed near her school in Greenwich, southeast London, she pleaded: "We are a bunch of budding young pirates. Normally we're a right handful, but we're having trouble mutinying against the teachers. We'd love it if you could come and help." And aid was soon at hand, when Depp, 47, and some cohorts from the set of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides entered Meridian primary school Wednesday afternoon. To gasps and a "wow" from little Beatrice, he surprised the children by strolling into a hastily-convened assembly (the school was only given ten minute's notice). Depp proffered the letter, which she'd written after visiting the film set. "He asked where I was in the audience. I put my hand up and then I had to go up and he gave me a hug," Beatrice told London Tonight TV news. "He said, 'Maybe we shouldn’t mutiny today because there are police outside monitoring me.' " She concurred: "I said, 'Yeah, that's probably a good idea.' " But she might join him one day. When asked if she could be a pirate, Beatrice said, "Maybe, I sail."

Ok, I looked up Kristen's top. Guess I won't be getting it.

E!'s Answer Bitch Q: How do celebs manage to keep their eyes so white all the time? Do they use some kind of eyedrops? Curious Kitty, Los Angeles A.B. Replies: I shudder to think what you would ask Buddha if you ever reached the top of the mountain. One rude awakening coming up! But first, did you know that... ? Tobey Maguire can't really climb walls or sling webs. ? When you hear Pink singing about some horrible aspect of herself and then you hear another Pink on the same track singing backup about that horrible aspect, it's not her twin. ? And David Boreanaz can't really do that vampire thing with his face. These are special effects, touch-ups, show-stopping entertainment magic, if you will, dear Curious Kitty. Same goes for those celebrity eyeballs in magazines. (Come on. They reflect enough light to tan a Hilton. Of course they're fake!) At least in most cases, says Joshua Kessler, a celebrity photographer who has snapped everyone from Maggie Gyllenhaal to Michael Stipe. "The answer lies in two places," he says. "In most photographs, the whites of the subjects' eyes are usually given highlights, and therefore are used to base the whole exposure and color of the image. Generally, when lit, the eyeballs go white and do not show detail, covering up red or bloodshot eyes." Got it. What else? Kessler spills more secrets: "In the age of retouching, any remaining lines or discoloration are probably retouched." Also remember: Magazine editors are often ordered by publicists to make their celebrity clients look great--or else no more interviews with the A-listers. Ever. Most entertainment media--me excluded, of course--live and die by those interviews, so if Señor Crowe had a rough night at Papas & Beer in Rosarito, May-hee-ko, you can bet the style editors at GQ will work late to ensure you never know, at least not by way of his appearance in their magazine. Some makeup artists throw eyedrops into their subject's faces, just in case the retouchers get too busy drooling over some Olsen Twins spread and forget to do their jobs. "I use Clear Eyes Extra Relief," says makeup guru Sadie Wilson of frank.studio in Santa Monica, California. (See our next entry for Sadie's dish on ridiculously thin eyebrows!) "I'm also all for splashing your face with cold water." Sure, you go ahead and splash Russell Crowe with cold water. I'll wait for you waaaay over here.

I don't know if this counts as act of awesomeness, but I have to say I love both of these outfits. Jennifer Garner and Kristen Bell pose at the "Party Down" premiere.

I just saw sold out. I'm out too. Maybe they will do some west coast shows in the future.

The Chateau Marmont Has Been Home to These Famous Guests https://www.architecturaldigest.com/gallery/chateau-marmont-famous-guests?utm_social-type=owned&mbid=social_facebook&utm_brand=ad&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2G-qkHv4F6ommqYDN7v0QVHeFC5m58IhKjgHvvhAsTTlEAF_ypV9bDvvs Balazs announced plans to convert it into a private members–only hotel in 2020, but that plan was abandoned in 2022, the same year the hotel staff were able to unionize.

L.A.'s Infamous Chateau Marmont to Become Members-Only Hotel: All About the Celeb-Favorite Haunt https://people.com/travel/los-angeles-chateau-marmont-to-be-made-into-members-only-hotel/ By Benjamin VanHoose July 29, 2020 01:21 PM People.com Keith Birmingham/MediaNews Group/Pasadena Star-News via Getty Images One iconic Los Angeles institution is about to reimagine its business model. In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, hotelier André Balazs, 63, said he is preparing to convert the Chateau Marmont into an exclusive, members-only property in a move that would break away from its traditional hotel structure. Balazs explained that, while he's been mulling over the new concept, the strain on the hospitality industry brought on by the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic made him expedite the process. Under the new framework, guests could buy ownership stakes at the property when becoming members. “There is something to be said for knowing people. You can chat with them; you know where they have been,” Balazs told the outlet of the intended appeal of membership, offering peace of mind to those weary of shacking up near strangers in an outbreak. The operator said he plans to transition Chateau Marmont into the private hotel format by the end of the year, according to WSJ. The 63-room French-inspired castle, which has seen numerous infamous events over the years, is tucked into the edge of the Hollywood Hills and has been in businesses since 1929. “We have always screened our guests,” Balazs said of the exclusivity of its patrons. “Guests are never more than one degree of separation away.” A spokesperson for Chateau Marmont told the Los Angeles Times that members will pay fees that will get them a private dining area, a personal butler and the ability to come and go during lengthy stays. “Members will be able to sell their shares back to the management company or other approved members, as they would with any other real estate investment,” said the spokesperson. The Chateau Marmont has an at times sordid history with ties to a range of celebrities — from Lindsay Lohan’s well-documented eviction from Suite 33 for running up a $46,350.04 bill in 2012, to John Belushi’s death in Bungalow 3 in 1982. Further back in Hollywood history, Jean Harlow is rumored to have had an affair with Clark Gable at the hotel in 1933 while on her honeymoon with her third husband. James Dean won his role in Rebel Without a Cause, in part, by jumping through the roof of Bungalow 2. Led Zeppelin’s drummer road his motorcycle through the lobby, as well. As former Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn once said: "If you are going to get into trouble, do it at the Chateau Marmont."

Couldn't figure it out, guess I have to wait until Friday??

I am seriously thinking about getting tixs to the Chicago show and flying out. However I just checked hotel prices, ouch.

OMG, I actually thought it was Dennis Quaid for a minute.

OMG, would love to go to this.

Rihanna cradles baby bump after surprise pregnancy reveal at Super Bowl https://pagesix.com/2023/02/13/rihanna-cradles-baby-bump-in-close-up-shot-after-pregnancy-reveal/

It still bugs me that the judge bowed down to social pressure and dissolved a 13-year conservatorship without one single medical evaluation for someone that has such a long-term history of mental illness and self-harm.

pagesixsixsix.comIt seems that the folks at Britney Spears' record label, Jive, have decided not to release the new album that the pop tart has been working on. Why? They (rightfully) think Spears is overexposed.After a recent media overhaul thanks to a wedding, a greatest hits album, and a possibly pregnancy, Jive Records has decided to push back the album to 2006.An insider says, “Britney had already been working on a follow-up to 2003's, 'In The Zone,' but the plans were shelved. The media and record buying public have been exposed to way too much Britney and because of that her album, Original Doll, has been pushed to the 2006 release schedule.”So knock a baby or two out, and we’ll expect a new CD by Brit (or Mona Lisa as her new alter ego is called) in 2006. Life in plastic is fantastic!

Britney Spears Friends & Family Planned Intervention 'I'm Afraid She's Gonna Die' https://www.tmz.com/2023/02/09/britney-spears-family-friends-intervention-substance-abuse/ Britney Spears has been struggling with her mental health and substance abuse, and both problems are now dire enough that people closest to her planned an intervention ... TMZ has learned. As one source in regular contact with Britney told TMZ, "I'm afraid she's gonna die." Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... people around Britney have become alarmed by her erratic, volatile behavior. We're told she's taking meds that "hype her up." Our sources say she's been "flying off the handle" with increasing regularity and is not taking the medications that stabilize her. Our sources say her manager rented a house in the L.A. area for several months and the plan was to take an unsuspecting Britney to the house, where her husband Sam Asghari, her manager, an interventionist and doctors would be present, in an attempt to convince her she needed help. We're told Jamie Spears, Lynne Spears and Britney's 2 sons were not involved. The plan was for the intervention to go down Tuesday. We're told the plan was for Britney to live in the rented house for as long as 2 months while she received both medical treatment and psychological counseling. That plan changed Tuesday ... we're told Britney became "somewhat aware" of the plan and for some reason it all changed and the intervention idea was scrapped. We asked multiple people connected to Britney and Sam why the plug would be pulled given her condition -- we got no answers. Our sources say Britney agreed to meet with a doctor -- we don't know if it's a physician or a therapist. We're told Britney met with the doctor Wednesday late afternoon and it "went well." TMZ broke the story, Britney was spotted at a restaurant near her home last month where witnesses tell us she was acting "manic." In video, obtained by TMZ, Britney can be heard rambling incoherently. As you know, Britney was placed in a conservatorship for 13 years after being involuntarily committed twice. The conservatorship ended in November 2021 ... in no small part because of the #FreeBritney movement. The judge did not order a medical evaluation before ending the conservatorship ... despite the fact doctors regularly weighed in before the court over the 13 years.

I remember the Queen always wore an entire outfit of the same color so that she was easier to spot in a crowd for security purposes. I've noticed other members often do the same, but wasn't sure if that was intentional. I actually came here to post about Harry and his talks to host Saturday Night Live. I think that would have been a disaster.

Michael Jackson's Kids May Go to School for First Time This Fall Credit: AP Photo/Mark J. Terrill, Pool Monday – June 21, 2010 – 10:04am US Weekly School may soon be in session for Michael Jackson's kids. Since the King of Pop died last June, Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson have been home schooled, as they were when their father was alive, reports the Associated Press. Adam Streisand, the lawyer who represents Katherine Jackson, says a room has been set aside in a building at the ranch-style San Fernando Valley estate where they live and turned into a classroom where a tutor conducts classes. That could all change in the fall, when Prince, 13, will leave go to private school. "He is ready to branch out and have a more socialized experience," Streisand says, adding that the boy and his grandmother made the decision together. Will sister Paris, 12, join him? That remains to be seen. But in a new interview in Britain's Daily Mail, Katherine Jackson suggests they all would go to school, including Blanket, 8. "I'd say I'm a little less strict, but I've tried to follow the way Michael was raising them," she is quoted as saying.

At the Universal Music Group Grammys 2023 afterparty, Paris Jackson sported an olive green tracksuit and tiny lace-up crop top. Wow, I actually had a moment I thought it was an old photo of Lisa Marie Presley. Do we know who the bio Mom is to Paris Jackson??
