Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the biggest stories of the week was the history making all female space flight carrying Lauren Sanchez, Katy Perry, Gayle King and others.  The Blue Origin mission, which is owned by Lauren’s fiance, Jeff Bezos, generated a ton of backlash with celebrities such as Olivia Wilde, condemning the trip as pointless and an affront to the environment.  We just heard that Lauren leaned on some of her celebrity pals, like Jessica Alba to defend the trip, but the bad press continues  – so now it’s fellow space traveler Gaye’s best friend, Oprah Winfrey, to the rescue.  Gayle is arranging for the entire female crew to sit down with Oprah and explain why the trip was beneficial.  The interview should air soon, but only time will tell if it silences the naysayers.

Cheryl Hines made headlines when she was blatantly snubbed by her husband RFK Jr.’s boss, Donald Trump, when they all attended the UFC 314 match in Miami last Saturday.  The moment of a shocked and disappointed Cheryl extending her hand and getting ignored by Trump went viral, and here’s what we know.   Cheryl was VERY upset with her husband for not defending her honor, since he just shrugged off the snub as an accidental misstep.  Our source says Cheryl has seen a side to her husband she just doesn’t like,  but since he’s a part of Trump’s cabinet she’s decided to play the role of a Stepford wife to enjoy the benefits of being married to someone powerful in DC.  Behind closed doors though, the marriage is shaky.

Former President Joe Biden made the news for his first public speaking engagement since leaving the White House.  We just heard that the powers that be in the Democratic Party are urging him to NOT make this a habit since they are eager to move in a new ( younger) direction.  My source says that Joe is being encouraged to STOP speaking in public and to limit any comments to pre-taped announcements, since his live speech was riddled with awkward pauses.

Bill Maher made the news for having dinner at the White House with Donald Trump and we just heard that’s only the beginning!  Remember where you read this –  Bill invited Trump to appear on his HBO weekly show, Real Time, and Trump said YES.  Although the details are still being hashed out, there’s nothing more that Trump likes more than an audience, and Bill has a large one at that, so it’s gonna happen this year.

Ben Affleck made the news when he gushed about his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez on the red carpet for his film, The Accountant 2.  Ben sang Jen’s praises as both a mom to her kids and a stepmom to his kids, and now we know why.  Jen’s child Emma and Ben’s child Fin are best friends, and both prefer to wear men’s clothing although biologically female.  The two are so close that they are already planning to attend college together since they’re barely a year apart and see each other almost daily, so despite the divorce Jen and Ben will be linked for a while.

Blake Lively was in the headlines again after a storyboard editor on their movie , It Ends with Us, claimed she tried to hijack the movie from producer Justin Baldoni.  She also made headlines after Time magazine named her one of their 100 Most Influential People.  Despite the ying and yang of bad and good press we know this.  Blake was up for a role in an upcoming rom/com but her audition was abruptly cancelled at the last minute because of all the negative press.  She and her husband Ryan Reynolds are painfully aware that they opened a hornet’s nest with her lawsuit against Justin – especially since public opinion seems to have drastically turned against her.  They are seriously thinking about relocating overseas for a while until the drama is over.

HAPPY SPRING BREAK TO ALL!

THE NEXT WHITE LOTUS

Attention White Lotus fans:  it’s down to the final two – potential locations that is –  for season 4.  Our well placed source, who accurately revealed most of this season’s plot twists, now tells us that the action will either take place at The Four Seasons in Istanbul or in Marrakech.  Creator Mike White is leaning towards Istanbul, but some others connected to the series fear that the predominantly Muslim community won’t welcome the overtly sexy production with open arms.  So far, both properties have been put on hold, limiting the number of bookings during filming schedule, which is tentatively scheduled to begin at the end of this summer.

SEAN DIDDY COMBS FRIENDS ARE ALL IN TROUBLE

Sean Diddy Combs is gearing up for his upcoming trial and as part of the preparations he’s compiling a list of celebrity witnesses he plans on calling to the witness stand!  According to our source, Diddy’s defense strategy is to show that although his sexual parties were appropriately called freak offs, all of the behavior was consensual.  Now here’s where it gets tricky.  Diddy realizes most if not all of his A-list pals who participated in the orgies don’t want to be connected to any of this, so he’s instructed his attorneys to start preparing subpoenas to FORCE them to testify.  The source adds that the trial could easily torpedo numerous careers if the celebrities on this witness list take the stand and spill the intimate and KINKY details.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Although money is no object, this long suffering wife found a passive aggressive way to make some extra pocket change and get back at her far from perfect husband.  Since they’re rarely together these days (and trust us, she’s not complaining) she raids his closets when he’s not around and sells his high priced clothes to various online and in person consignment shops.  Although he’s anything but handsome, our guy still spends a king’s ransom on custom clothes so our gal is meticulous about removing any custom labels on the garments.  From crocodile shoes and belts to silk ties and golf clothes our gal is making a pretty penny from her side hustle.  It’s not the money though, she gets DELIGHT in watching her hubby try to find his missing items when he is around!

 

GUESS WHO!!!

MEL GIBSON AND SLY STALLONE WARN DONALD TRUMP: CHINA TARIFFS COULD DEVASTATE HOLLYWOOD

Tariffs were all over the news again this week but this time with a Hollywood spin.  China is threatening to ban US films in retaliation for the tariffs Trump has levied against them.  We just heard that some of Trump’s Hollywood pals, including actors and filmmakers Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone, are quietly urging Donald to reconsider the steep tariffs against China since they could decimate the film industry if China does indeed, ban US movies.  The good news is that Trump seems impressed by his Hollywood pals  (he named them “Special Ambassadors to Hollywood”)  so we hope he takes their advice for the sake of the entertainment industry.

KRIS JENNER WANTS THE KARDASHIANS ON THE NEXT SPACE SHIP

Kris Jenner has a serious case of FOMO ( that’s fear of missing out in case you’re not familiar with the term.)  Kris’s best friend, Lauren Sanchez,  just took part in a history making  all female trip to the edge of space.  According to my source, Kris was actually invited to join the journey but declined, and now she regrets it.  Kris is now hoping to persuade, Lauren’s fiance Jeff Bezos who’s company orchestrated the rocket trip, to do another with all of her daughters and hopes to include it on an upcoming season of their HULU reality series, The Kardashians.  The short rocket trip costs MILLIONS to launch, so it’s no small task, but Kris can be persistent and we won’t be surprised if Jeff grants her wish.

WHITE LOTUS ACTORS URGED TO STOP OVERSHARING

The White Lotus creator Mike White has had enough!  Unlike the first two seasons of the popular series, this time around there seems to be MORE drama offscreen than on. As soon as the season finale aired, stories starting emerging about behind the scene feuds.  The latest brouhaha was when star, Aimee Lou Wood, complained about the way she was portrayed in an SNL skit mocking the series.  According to our inside source, Mike frowns on all of this and even though the cast’s NDA’s have expired, he’s put the word out that if any of these actors ever want to work with him again, they need to stop complaining AND stop talking about behind the scenes drama.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Despite some ups and downs, this Hollywood marriage has lasted longer than many would expect – since these two A-list stars BOTH have HUGE egos.  The obvious reason they stay together – because their careers are somewhat entwined – is only part of the puzzle.  The other reason is they have an OPEN marriage and are allowed to have other lovers, with conditions.  Their playmates must sign ironclad NDA’s as well as contracts stating their sexual relations are consensual.  What really makes this work though is that their respective lovers MUST also be in open marriages, so no single partners are ever allowed.

 

GUESS WHO!!!

KRIS JENNER HAS IDEAS FOR LAUREN SANCHEZ’S WEDDING

We’re not fans of people who flaunt ridiculously priced designer handbags,  so we’re not sold on this idea, but it is certainly unique.  As we previously told you, Kris Jenner is helping her girlfriend Lauren Sanchez plan her upcoming Italian wedding to billionaire Jeff Bezos and since money is no object, Kris came up with an over the top idea for floral centerpieces.  The women are both fond of of Hermes bags and they each have an extensive collection worth millions of dollars.  Creative Kris wants to have ceramic vases custom made to resemble their favorite Birkin bags –  to be filled with exotic flowers as centerpieces for the tables.  Lauren loved the mental picture of the room filled with Birkins,  so now the two women are meeting artisans who can turn their idea into a reality.   But will guests be stealing the centerpieces?

REBECCA GAYHEART IS STAYING WITH HER SICK HUSBAND ERIC DANE- FOR NOW

Rebecca Gayheart’s romance with billionaire Hard Rock founder, Peter Morton, is on pause now that her husband, Eric Dane has been diagnosed with ALS.  Rebecca and Peter have been quietly dating since 2023 and according to a source, were secretly making plans to wed this summer in the Hamptons.  Although Rebecca filed for divorce from Eric back in 2018, neither side took any action to finalize their split,  but they were actually getting ready to sign off on their divorce decree so that Rebecca could marry Peter.  That changed when Eric got the sad health news, and now Rebecca is putting her marriage plans and romance on pause as she navigates this latest chapter. Apparently Rebecca wants her two children with Eric to spend as much time with him as possible, so she keeping the marriage intact in a non-romantic way for now.
