DIDDY'S DAUGHTERS DESIGNING FOR DOLLARS!
SEAN “DIDDY” COMBS’ twin daughters are turning their father’s infamy into a fashion cash-in! JESSIE and D’LILA, 19, are rolling out their own streetwear label, 12TWINTY1, even as their dad cools his fashionable heels behind bars in a 50-month sentence at FCI Fort Dix for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
“His press is his press - and our press is our press,” D’ Lila insisted. “Our journey is separate. We try to stay positive, and we’re focused on what we’re building.” Still, they admit the Sean John mogul is very much a behind-bars style coach. “He’s very proud of us,” Jessie said. “We’ve gone to him for guidance many times, and he’s been incredibly helpful.” Their debut collection, dubbed 777 - inspired by the twins being born seven minutes apart and their parents’ favorite number - features tanks from $34 and hoodies up to $119.
10 STAR GIVES ZERO STARS TO HOLLYWOOD
BO DEREK is finally spilling why she walked away from Hollywood - she never wanted the spotlight in the first place. The 10 bombshell, now 69 and happily retired on the California coast with actor hubby JOHN CORBETT, admitted her blockbuster success felt like a total accident. “It was just a fluke that I got the part,” she said, confessing she had “no agent, no manager, no nothing, no fantasies about being in the movies.” Instead of basking in fame, Bo says she secretly felt like a fraud.
“I was just always uncomfortable with my image, being all over magazines when I walked down the street,” she revealed, adding she “felt kind of fake and an impostor at the same time.” Now? “I love retirement. I am so happy in retirement.”
MURPHY BROWN'S BIGGEST SCOOPS!
CANDICE BERGEN is opening up about memorable dates with a couple of political heavyweights from her past, and she has towering compliments for both Washington titans. On TED DANSON’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, the 80-year-old Murphy Brown icon recalled a college outing with a young DONALD TRUMP. It was a “very short date,” she said with a smirk, remembering he arrived in a maroon limousine and wore a matching suit and vest with patent leather boots.
“He was a nice-looking guy,” she said of the future prez. Later, Candice also spent time with HENRY KISSINGER, whom she met through her parents. She described the former secretary of state as “lovely,” “great company,” “beyond smart,” and praised his impeccable manners during Hollywood dinners.
SUNNY FEELS UNSAFE AROUND THE FLAG
SUNNY HOSTIN has viewers seeing red, white and blue over her comments about the American flag. On The View, the 57-year-old cohost admitted that seeing too many Stars and Stripes puts her on edge. “There are times when I walk into a community and I see American flags all over the community and I suddenly feel unsafe,” she said, adding that “a section of this country ... equate being an American or an American flag with white supremacy.”
Sunny, who previously said she felt “threatened” when American flags fly alongside Trump banners, tied her unease to a viral image of a lone Black woman surrounded by Patriot Front marchers, calling it “a defining image of modern America for Black Americans.”
WILD RIDES, REBOUNDS .. AND MORE!
LUKE WILSON and WES ANDERSON spent quality time together - inside a stuck elevator! The actor and the director were among six people trapped for about an hour in a “secret passageway” lift at L.A.’s Academy Museum after a 30th anniversary screening of their cult film Bottle Rocket. Producer JAMES L. BROOKS was also along for the wild ride. Instagram video shows firefighters prying open the doors as Wes asks what went wrong. One responder deadpans it was “probably too much weight in there.”
BUNNIE XO isn’t wasting any time moving on from JELLY ROLL to her next taste of romance. The former stripper was caught on camera “passionately making out” with 22-years-younger Calabasas Confidential actor DYLAN WOLF, inside Jelly’s own Goodnight Nashville bar, no less. Jelly filed to end their 10-year marriage in May, and Bunnie has already batted away rumors she cheated with Nickelback frontman CHAD KROEGER.
Model HEIDI KLUM’s rock star hubby, TOM KAULITZ, likes her with extra padding. She says he urged her to gain weight after years of fashion-world pressure to stay thin. “l think with age, we look better when we’re not as skinny,” she noted. “He said, ‘You should eat more; you would look better if you had more meat on your bones.’ When I look back at photos, I’m like, ‘He’s right!’ Proportion-wise, I look better bigger.”
