\u201cYou\u2019re a lot more interesting than I thought<\/em><\/span>.”
\n<\/em><\/span> – <\/em><\/span>Cher <\/strong>to Josh Brolin <\/strong>after he discussed his memoir on The Graham
\nNorton Show <\/em><\/strong>in December.  After Cher promoted her memoir, Josh said,
\n\u201cYou remind me of my mom!\u201d   Before you ask, he meant
\nhis biological mom, not his stepmom who he refers to in the
\nbook as \u201ca singer\u201d.  You know her as Barbra Streisand<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People like to bash the so-called Hollywood elite, but those privileged few know how to band together when the going gets tough.  Numerous fundraisers have been organized to help those decimated by the LA fires.  Josh Brolin <\/strong>is one of the stars spearheading LA Wildfire Relief LIVE<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 a telethon with a glittering lineup.  No word yet if he\u2019s convinced his stepmom to step up (or, for that matter, his new pal Cher<\/strong>).  Then there\u2019s FireAid<\/em><\/strong>, a benefit concert taking place in not one but two LA venues.  Others are involved with the SoCal Fire Fund<\/em><\/strong> on Charitybuzz<\/em>.  There\u2019s also a virtual benefit called LA Check In<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 which sounds like something you do at a Best Western<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Also victim of the fires were \u201cinfluencers\u201d Max Emerson <\/strong>& Andres Camilo<\/strong>.  Hours after their home succumbed to the flames (a home they renovated and heavily documented online), they announced they were separating.  Which begs the question \u2013 \u201cWho?\u201d  Actually, that\u2019s somewhat unfair \u2013 I have at least heard of Max Emerson.  And one must applaud the posting of their separation announcement.  It was nestled between footage of their house burning down and a montage of near-nude photos of them in happier times.  Putting it into context, Max\u2019s previous post was a video talking about becoming a sperm donor \u2013 for $15K a pop.  At that rate, he\u2019ll be in a new house before you can say \u201cRoll over!\u201d  Some people got it and make it pay \u2013 some people can\u2019t even give it away!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
