Lost Beatles pix prove Paul wore glasses

Hey, wasn't John Lennon the "smart'" Beatle with glasses?  Never-before-seen photos of the Beatles prove that Paul McCartney also wore glasses, something millions of his avid fans never knew.

Seems McCartney, the "cute Beatle," was rarely photographed wearing his glasses because he felt they didn't fit with his image. But in a just-released series of rare photos taken of the Fab Four in the Abbey Road studios recording "With a Little Help From My Friends," McCartney can be seen (above) wearing black horn rims. And he looks a bit like Elvis Costello or Damien Hirst.

The shots were taken by acclaimed photographer Frank Herrmann on March 30, 1967, exactly 40 years ago. Later that day, the Liverpool lads posed for the cover of the legendary "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" album.

According to an article in The Mail on Sunday's Live Night and Day magazine, cameramen were rarely given entry to recording sessions. Some of the negatives have been lost, but thanks to digital technology, prints have been made from contact sheets Herrmann had stored in a box for 40 years.   

A private viewing of the photos and contact sheets will be held on June 1, 2007, at the Saint Giles Street Gallery in Norwich, England. The gallery is owned by David Koppel, who was in West Hollywood this week checking out the local galleries and venue for future exhibitions. To see more never-before-seen candid Beatles photos-- including more of Paul in glasses -- all available in limited editions, check out the gallery's website.

Why Christina Ricci should never smile....

Bobby Trendy showed up at last night's Phyllis Morris Gala on Robertson Blvd., showcasing Cristina Ferrare's  line of luxury home accessories. It was hard to miss the Liberace of home design thanks to his white satin brocade jacket festooned with hot pink tulle. Trendy had been Anna Nicole Smith's designer and their tumultuous relationship was documented on her reality show, ending with her firing him and him threatening to sue her.

So I had to ask what he thought about her death. "It's sad. It's such a waste," Trendy replied, with a momentary well-glossed pout, as he flitted off to pose on a $36,000 bed. The same could be said of his pink tulle.

According to People magazine, Courtney Love has lost a whopping 44 lbs. And she's still going. So how did she dump the extra padding? By following a macrobiotic diet, eating fish, veggies, doing yoga and working out. And if you believe that, I've got some great New Orleans property near the levees you might like. On Love's website, she talks about the weight loss, having her overblown lips reduced and making her nose look more like her old nose. Oh yeah, that last bit will really help.   

"its my old nose,. and i love it because it just looks like my "self" in 93. i hated that nosejobby nose, it was like a little beak, and i went ot the guy who can fix thes ethings and just put your old bad assed self on, you arent kissing ass or not kissing ass, i just didnt like that old nosejob i went too far and i fixe dit and made it natural again,its real and is wide and has my chrcater and looks like the one god gave me so im happy not to have crazy lips and a crazy teensy unnatural little nose. so you have your opinion and ill have mine and it is my body and my face and lost 44 pounds with 6 more maybe 11 more to go. and ill fit tin that dammed couture, ( the uh ..real stuff) so im pretty yhappy and really all i care about i sthat my self esteem is limitellss and intact, and that nothing and no situation effects my self esteem in anyw ay, and creates negativity chaos or loss.

Mere months after relocating from London to El Lay, Victoria Beckham's brown hair has mysteriously turned blonde. Is it a vitamin deficiency? A genetic flaw? No. Environmental experts suspect a chemical that occurs naturally in the Southern California water system that lightens hair over time. The effect is far more noticeable in the Beverly Hills area, as evidenced by the increasing number of wealthy wives who tend to have the same pale wheat-colored hair. Some scientists now say there may be a link between the local water and other all-too-common symptoms of Beverly Hills residence: blank expressions, swollen lips, painfully tight faces, a year-round, all-over tan and hard, protruding bosoms. Sadly, Posh is also exhibiting all these symptoms. Currently, there is no cure. But there's hope. Fundraisers are planned to raise awareness and money to find a cure for these sad and disturbing disfigurements.

Just over a month after Courtney Love hooked up with Nicole Richie at Paris Hilton's birthday bash at the Prime Grill in Beverly Hills, she's begun to exhibit symptoms of being on the Richie zero-meal plan. Just released startling paparazzi photos of the Incredible Shrinking Singer in a bikini have friends and fans worried. To see Love's rapid shrinkage on Perez Hilton, click here. So the big question is: Is Courtney getting diet tips from Richie or is she now on the Anna Nicole Smith diet? Be careful, Courtney. Anna Nicole did eventually hit her desired goal weight. In a casket.

Rockers Dave Navarro and Donovan Leitch "performed" onstage at the Roxy this week. Whew. From the looks of this intense liplock, Carmen Electra got out just in time. Later in the set, Donovan tried to do something no musician should ever attempt......

Word is that Miu Miu (pronounced Mew Mew) -- the younger, hipper version of Miuccia Prada's Prada line -- will open a 3,200-square-foot West Coast flagship boutique at 317 North Rodeo Drive this fall. The former Lalique shop is being massively renovated and will end up with an 800-square-foot mezzanine, and lots of mirror top coffee tables, (razor blades not included) antique parquet floors, ivory rugs and Italian silk damasks. And just in time. Because what Beverly Hills desperately needs is another fancy-pantsy designer boutique.
For those of who wondered, "Hey, didn't there used to be a Miu Miu boutique on Melrose?" yes, there was but it quietly shuttered its 6,900-sq. ft self last summer.
Anyway, with a spiffy Rodeo presence and all that rich international foot traffic, now Miu Miu needs a new celebrity face for the big opening and the awards season.
Maggie Gyllenhaal used to be their alt-fash model but she's gone all Mommy with her new baby and temporarily lost her edge. So I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest the blossoming Rumer Willis, Demi Moore's look-alike daughter who's been partying with Lindsay Lohan a lot and/or Kristen Dunst, who could use some free clothes for her upcoming "Spiderman" press junkets.
