Justin Bieber is back at the club
It's Gossip Time!
Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. This week: the A-list hits the club, two TV actors hit the streets, and Marion Cotillard lands on the moon.
What percentage of celebrities do you think have gotten the COVID vaccine? According to Instagram, things are looking pretty good; Us Weekly was able to round up enough vaccine selfies this week to make a slideshow. Britney Spears revealed she got her shot yesterday in a video filmed in her classic style. (“Okay, the people on the internet said it was really, really bad, it was like a bullet going through your arm,” she told the camera, which was being held by her boyfriend, Sam Asghari. “It was nothing. I felt nothing. I’m fine, and I hope I continue to stay fine.”)
I wonder about the percentage because as of this week, celebs are back at the club. Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, and Drake were all photographed walking in and out of The Nice Guy in West Hollywood last night. It’s not clear who was hosting this meeting of the minds, but TMZ reports that someone rented out the entire venue so that the A-listers could party in peace. Also in attendance: Devin Booker, an NBA player who is reportedly Kendall’s current boyfriend, and Tyga, who dated Kylie when she was not yet 18. It seems like everyone got along fine.
Missing from the club scene were the Jenners’ older sisters. Kourtney Kardashian is busy with her new boyfriend Travis Barker — he just got another tattoo in her honor. And Khloe Kardashian is having a tough week thanks to an unnamed assistant who accidentally (?) released an un-retouched photo of her in a bikini. Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, is allegedly a billionaire now thanks to her stakes in KKW Beauty and Skims.
The most exciting Kardashian news of the week, though, is the announcement that Andy Cohen will host a televised reunion this year covering all 20 seasons of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. KUWTKE icon Mariah Smith is working on it, so you know it’s going to be incredible. Send her your questions!
Here are two Page Six headlines from this week:
Yes, apparently God decided that April 2021 would be the perfect time for male prime-time TV stars to get out there and show off their legs and/or butts. Milo Ventimiglia, star of the silliest show I can’t stop crying to, This Is Us, wore these shorts to the gym in West Hollywood on Monday:
And Christopher Meloni, now starring in Law & Order: Organized Crime, was photographed on set in Park Slope on Wednesday:
I don’t really have anything to say about either of these photos, but the Meloni image does remind me of something I need to share with you.
While I was watching the aforementioned Organized Crime program this week, a commercial for Chanel perfume came on that stopped me in my tracks. It was starring Marion Cotillard, and she was dancing … on the MOON. Have you seen this one? Here it is:
I was surprised to see this particular concept given past comments Cotillard has made regarding the American space program. During a late-night French TV interview in 2007, she said this about the 1969 moon landing: “Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered. And in any case I don’t believe all they tell me, that’s for sure.” (She also questioned the reality of the 9/11 attacks.)
How do you think Chanel pitched the dancing-on-the-moon idea to Cotillard? And why? And did she say yes right away? And do you think participating in this commercial further confirmed her belief that a moon landing could be faked? I’ll be thinking about nothing else for the next 72 hours or so; feel free to join me.
STUFF BY HILARY DUFF: It looks like Hilary Duff got blonde balayage and extensions this week. Emma Roberts commented four heart-eyes emojis on the Instagram photo. Mandy Moore commented “So pretty, friend!”
Finally, I’ll leave you with this stunning performance by actress Sarah Ramos as Charlize Theron wishing Kristen Stewart a happy birthday in 2012:
I always enjoy Ramos’s Instagram videos, but this one is especially good. Happy birthday Kristen! Mad love.

This reminds me of when Kristen and Charlize were superBFFs while promoting Snow White, but as soon as the Kristen/Rupert Sanders fling pics came out, Charlize pulled an “I don’t know her.” I feel like Charlize’s bad side is a scary place to be. I hope she doesn't see this comment.
