A Lucky Face

Yellowstone star Cole Hauser has a distinct Santa Barbara connection and has just become the face of Lucky Brand’s holiday collection.

Hauser, 48, recounts his “idyllic” upbringing in our Eden by the Beach with his film producer mother Cass Warner.

Hauser, who has co-starred with Carpinteria actor Kevin Costner on the CBS series for five years, says he likes Lucky Brand’s “authenticity and quality.”

“The legacy spans decades and continues to represent the true spirit of American craftsmanship,” he tells Heidi Parker of London’s Daily Mail, my former employer.

The brand was founded 40 years ago by Gene Montesano, owner of Lucky’s and Tre Lune on Coast Village Road, and Barry Perlman.

Clearly it’s in the genes…

Let Them Eat Goop

Montecito actress Gwyneth Paltrow is bringing her Goop beauty products to the masses.

Her new line is branded good.clean.goop and it is being sold at Target and on Amazon.

Unlike its higher priced sibling, the new range features $58 eye cream, a $100 cleanser, with most products priced under $40.

The Oscar winner, 51, announced the news on Instagram, posting three photos of herself in front of a Target store.

Other products include Daily Juice Cleanser for $19.99, a fruit facial polishing scrub, Wide Awake Eye Serum for $24.99 each, and Healthy Aging Serum for $39.99.

A Titanic Auction

As a first-class menu served on the doomed ocean liner Titanic on April 11, 1912, just sold at a U.K. auction house for $103,000, it reminded me of an exact replica for the menu I received at the annual gala dinner of the New York Explorers Club at New York’s Waldorf Astoria in 1986.

It features the red White Star line burgee alongside the letters RMS Titanic and I had it signed by Robert Ballard, who discovered the ship’s wreckage in 1985, and Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to conquer Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, in May 1953, who were both speaking at the boffo bash.

An extremely treasured memento…

Early to Arise

Warbler Katy Perry’s mother, Mary Hudson of Arise International, is hosting the third annual 5K run-walk on December 2.

The event, a fully sanctioned race, will take place along the beach on the soccer field at Chase Palm Park.

It brings together community participants with music and festivities following the race. Awards will be given to the top three runners and walkers.

Last year’s event raised more than $20,000 that was used for upgrades to the Bethel House, a branch of the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission, including two patios, furniture and landscaping, as well as Christmas presents for all clients.

This year, says Mary, the fundraising goal is $50,000 to complete the upgrading work.
