JENNIFER LOPEZ HAS HER EYE ON A NEW MAN

They say every dark cloud has a silver lining, but Jennifer Lopez hopes the dark cloud of her divorce from Ben Affleck is lined in GOLD! Jennifer’s upcoming movie, Unstoppable is deliberately set for a limited theatrical release on December 6 to qualify for the Academy Awards. Her anything but glamorous performance is gaining a lot of Oscar buzz, and J.Lo is hoping that the sympathy from her split will sway voters to nominate her for a Best Actress Oscar. My source adds that until the time nominations are announced you can plan on seeing a lot more of Jennifer Hollywood events. (Like this week’s 15th Annual Governor’s Awards -above) As my source jokes, the only man she is focusing on now is OSCAR.

BRAD AND JEN ARE ACTUALLY FRIENDS

Need more proof that there’s no bad blood between exes, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston? Well then, here you go. Brad recently introduced Jen to his current girlfriend, aspiring jewelry designer Ines de Ramon and the gals hit it off so well that Jen has offered to help Ines get publicity for her jewelry line! It’s common knowledge that a celebrity endorsement is good for business, and let’s face it, Jen is on Hollywood’s A-list. She’s agreed to wear a few of the jewelry items from Ines’ label (Ines is an executive and also designed a few pieces.) That’s not all, Jen taught Ines how to make Brad’s favorite banana smoothie. My source says that Brad and Jen remain wonderful friends but neither has any interest in getting back together. We love this news because it illustrates what a decent person Jennifer actually is…

KEVIN COSTNER IS NO FASHIONISTA

X

Kevin Costner’s divorce from his second wife Christine Baumgartner just became final, and he attended the 15th Annual Governor’s Awards last weekend looking like THIS. We have to assume that his wives were in the habit of dressing him, because this leading man has never looked WORSE. It’s not easy for a masculine man to look good in pastel colors – especially PINK. And Kevin does not. The unflattering cut of the jacket makes him look plump and the facial hair ages him and covers his best feature- his face.  It’s altogether a study of what NOT to do if you are an attractive man…

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

These costars are suddenly touting their romance and how they’re madly in love, but the entire thing is one big sham. It’s the world’s worst kept secret that HE swings both ways, but actually prefers men. His long suffering wife finally had enough and when she ended their marriage, he decided he needed another beard. His new gal pal is the perfect match because she knows about his sexuality and just happens to be best friends with the gay guy he’s sleeping with. In case you’re wondering WHY she would subject herself to this, it happens our guy is on the A-list, while she’s still relatively unknown, and she feels being romantically linked with the closeted gay will catapult her to fame and fortune.

GUESS WHO!!!

MEGAN FOX IS GETTING WHAT SHE WANTS – A BABY GIRL!

Here we go again, another Megan Fox pregnancy exclusive. As we have reminded you, we had the worldwide scoop on her baby news and now we have another and can exclusively reveal that Megan is having a GIRL. Megan already has three sons with her ex-husband Brian Austin Green, and although their now 12-year-old Noah reportedly identifies as a girl and frequently wears dresses, this baby will be Megan’s first biological daughter. My source says she is beyond thrilled since she always wanted a daughter.

DANNY MASTERSON SEES OPPORTUNITY IN TRUMP ELECTION

Just because he couldn’t vote doesn’t mean convicted rapist Danny Masterson isn’t optimistic that his chances of getting released from prison just IMPROVED now that Donald Trump was elected president. Since it’s no secret that Trump is no fan of cancel culture, Danny is having a mutual contact reach out and plead with Trump to get his case either dismissed or retried. Since Danny’s conviction wasn’t in federal court, Trump doesn’t have the power to pardon him, but he more than likely can exert some influence and try to help Danny if he’s inclined to.

KANYE WEST AND BIANCA’S RELATIONSHIP IS EVOLVING

Kayne West and Bianca Censori are still together but according to our well placed source, they’re working toward a conscious uncoupling. (You can thank Gwyneth Paltrow for popularizing that concept) While Kayne and Bianca are still hanging out together, he’s focused on spending more time in Japan as well as crafting his comeback. The LAST thing Kayne wants is a messy split (let’s just say Bianca knows where the bodies are buried, and she has a shovel) so they’re hammering out a settlement agreement to wrap things up. Although they claim to be married, it was a spiritual ceremony and not a legal one. Even after they go their separate ways, don’t be surprised to see them together since they’re still quite fond of each other, but just don’t want to be in a relationship.

ARMIE HAMMER HAS NO INTENTION OF GIVING UP

Armie Hammer could be following in the shoes of his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, and starring in a reality show. Elizabeth made waves earlier this year on the Hulu series, Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise and now Armie is hoping to jumpstart his Hollywood career with a show about -what else- rebuilding his Hollywood career. While his podcast, Armie Hammer Time recently debuted, my source reveals that Armie is eager to get back into acting. His movie offers have dried up so he’s hoping a show about his struggles can launch his comeback. It should come as no surprise that Bravo is interested, since this concept is right up Andy Cohen’s alley.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the biggest stories of the week was Megan Fox’s pregnancy, which as you already know was OLD news to our readers since we had the exclusive scoop months ago. Here’s what we know. Megan hasn’t had the easiest of pregnancies and has suffered severe morning sickness as well as some issues with her breast implants. Also, the pregnancy, while planned, hasn’t eased her fears about her fiance Machine Gun Kelly’s roving eye. My source tattles that while the pregnancy has made their relationship stronger, Megan and MGK are still in relationship counseling to deal with trust issues.

Artem Chigvintsev made headlines for his unexpected return to Dancing with the Stars to commemorate the show’s 500th episode. Here’s what we are hearing. Although Artem was only featured in the audience, behind closed doors, plans are underway to bring him back next season as a professional dancer. Apparently producers figured out what we already heard – that Artem’s estranged wife, Nikki Garcia was more than likely the aggressor in their domestic dispute. This explains why Nikki wasn’t invited to be a part of the special episode even though she previously competed on the show.

Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson were all over the news for rumored marital problems. We are hearing that a divorce is all but inevitable and Jessica and Eric were hoping to keep things friendly and divorce WITHOUT hefty legal fees since they have a solid prenup already in place. Nonetheless, we are also hearing that their keeping it friendly plan has recently run into roadblocks, and both are attorney shopping JUST IN CASE they can’t work it out on their own.

Travis Kelce and his teammate Patrick Mahomes made the news for a scary reason – their mansions were broken into while they were on the road for an away game. Don’t think for a moment that this was lost on Travis’ better half Taylor Swift. We just heard that Taylor has beefed up HER security at all of her properties including her Beverly Hills home. Since her schedule is so public, she wants to make sure her properties are protected from intruders when she’s there and when she’s not.

Leonardo DiCaprio made headlines for his star studded 50th birthday party on November 9, which again was old news to loyal readers since we had this scoop months ago as well. We just heard this update. Now that he’s 50, Leo is fearing he’s losing his boyish looks, so days after his party he met with a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon (Doc’s facelifts start at $150,000) for an initial consultation. I am hearing that Leo isn’t a fan of the aging process (who is?) and is planning to go under the knife before the end of the year or in early 2025. He wants something subtle, as he described it to a pal, like he “had a good night’s sleep”.

Finally, Ariana Grande seemed to be everywhere this week as she continues her around the world publicity tour for Wicked. Here’s what we know. Ariana has many vested interests in having this movie open to HUGE box office numbers. First, she wants to prove herself as an established actress, and second, she gets a sizable BONUS if the movie opens big. My source says Ariana took a deal that paid her less upfront with big bonuses based on the box office – which explains why Ariana is working her tail off to promote the flick. My source say it could wind up being the biggest movie of the year and make Ariana even wealthier than she already is.

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS STILL LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE

Jennifer Lopez may have finally found her bachelorette pad. Jennifer and her estranged husband, Ben Affleck put their Beverly Hills mansion on the market when they split up, and while Ben quickly found a new place to hang his hat, Jen’s been house hunting for months. According to my real estate source, Jen recently toured a home in the gated community of Hidden Hills, where the Kardashians call home, and she loved the equestrian vibe as well as the enhanced security of the community. She isn’t particularly keen on living 45 or so minutes outside of Hollywood, but she’s ready for a change and feels this could be IT.
