It appears that Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are not fans of tiny-little crazy man and Scientological Messiah, Tom Cruise.

No, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep did not attend Tom Cruise’s big dinner the other night honoring him by the American Museum of the Moving Image.

When I noted that the “Lions for Lambs” stars were absent, an insider very close to the scene told me, “Meryl and Bob can’t stand Tom. In London, Tom kept trying to push himself into interviews. Bob said, ‘No.’ Tom wouldn’t listen. Meryl has done almost nothing for the movie. She wants nothing to do with him.”

On the other hand, a supporter of the film said, “That’s mean. They’re great friends. Just look at their interview on ‘Good Morning America.’”

Well, I did. It was pre-taped and not live. It was also highly edited. Cruise says nary a word. Streep sits between the two men. Of course, Redford and Cruise have no scenes together in the movie. But Redford directed him. They do not look like great friends now.

Let the persecution begin!

SPIRIT FINGERS: How do we know that’s Kate Moss at a YSL photo shoot and not some random dowdily-dressed streetwalker who’s about to be frisked?

PLUMCAKE: I’m not entirely sure those are mutually exclusive.

MANOLO: Frisking Kate Moss? That would be like handling the leather bag full of broken chicken bones.

SPIRIT FINGERS: I think this pose is supposed to be “sexy and glamourous” in the same way that Pete Doherty is supposed to be “clean and sober”.

Manolo says, just like fellow heterosexual and well-known manly-man, Senator Larry Craig!

P.S. Tom Cruise and his wide stance at the YMCA!

Manolo says, the Manolo has lost faith in Hollywood, for it has been revealed that Jane Seymour used stunt breasts!

Jane Seymour has admitted that she had breast implants before going topless for a hit comedy film.

The 56-year-old British-born actress has frequently denied having plastic surgery, insisting that the figure she famously displayed in the 2005 comedy Wedding Crashers was entirely due to her ‘genes’ and a ‘sensible’ diet.

In the film she played an older woman, which involved the first topless scene of her career as she seduced young actor Owen Wilson.

But in an interview being published in America next week, she reveals that after giving birth to twins 11 years ago, she decided to have implants, although they were unusually small by Hollywood standards.

“My plastic surgeon had to special order them,” she told People Magazine.

She discloses that she also had a ‘minor’ eyelift.

Ayyyy! Jane Seymour has had the plasitic surgery!

This is so disillusioning. What will be be revealed next? Will we learn that that was not 100% Mark Wahlberg in the movie Boogie Nights? Or that famously affectionate Hollywood lovebirds Reese and Jake are faking it?

Manolo says, the rumors are true, Clay Aiken has really been putting on the weight.

MANOLO: ayyyyy! It is Halloween all over again!

SPIRIT FINGERS: Wow. Thanks for showing us the entire range of M.A.C. Cosmetics at one go!

PLUMCAKE: In the excitement of a Sotheby’s auction, the action can sometimes be overwhelming. Miss Ross, for example, thought she was bidding on Louis Quatorze’s chair.

SPIRIT FINGERS: Gotta love that old school weave. They just don’t make them like they used to.

Manolo says, if it is in Russia Today, it must be true, yes?

World-famous socialite Paris Hilton has set this year’s Moscow Fashion Week alight. She’s caused a media frenzy by appearing at the show of teenage Russian designer Kira Plastinina. The event was held at an exclusive venue in central Moscow.

The hotel-chain heiress attracted more attention to herself than to the clothes she flew in to promote.

The huge crowd at 15-year-old Plastinina’s show applauded Hilton’s every move, clapping enthusiastically as she smiled and pointed out the most interesting designs on the catwalk.

When it was all over, the A-list celebrity presented the whiz kid fashion maestro with a huge bouquet of flowers.

[...]

According to reports, she’s getting about $US 2 million for her two or three days’ work.

Let the Manolo be the first to say, You paid Paris Hilton $2 Million American dollars!!!! Dude, you got played!

Most sensible people would pay Paris to stay away from their teenage daughters.

Manolo says, is this image some historical tableau, one perhaps entitled, “Things that outraged us in 1963, but now are simply lame.”
