Sucking Up:
In a surprise to practically no one, former FL GOP Gov. JEB BUSH says he's considering an 2016 White House bid. At a Catholic Charities fundraiser in New York yesterday, he reportedly said that he is "thinking about running for president."
He also defended his call for the GOP to support comprehensive immigration reform. According to former CNBC pundit LARRY KUDLOW, Bush said, "Why would I back down from it? It's the right thing to do... we've got to be an inclusive party." (Pacelli)Also sucking up:
BILLY BOB THORNTON and ANGELINA JOLIE are still friendly after all these years. The "Fargo" star bragged to YourTango.com that his ex-wife is positively "amazing," has "so much energy and so much goodness" and they still check in on one another "all the time." The couple made headlines by wearing vials of one another's blood after tying the knot in 2000 and parted ways two years later. (Lee)
Models:
DYLAN PENN, the 23-year-old daughter of ROBIN WRIGHT and SEAN PENN has just taken her modeling career to the next level. Dylan just signed with the London-based modeling agency Premier Model Management. They managed the careers of superstars like NAOMI CAMPBELL, CINDY CRAWFORD, CHRISTY TURLINGTON, LINDA EVANGELISTA and CLAUDIA SCHIFFER. The Hollywood Reporter says Dylan's already-thriving modeling career includes features in Elle, G-Q and W this year. She was even rumored to have been offered an opportunity to pose for Playboy, but turned it down. (Bartha)
