ELLEN DEGENERES IS DETERMINED TO SUCCEED ON BRITISH TV

Ellen DeGeneres is enjoying her life in England and she is quietly shopping around that late night talk show she hopes to do. Her latest version will feature American celebrities but only air in the UK. As we previously reported, Ellen and her wife, Portia DeRossi relocated to England for various reasons – one of the main ones was to retool and relaunch Ellen’s career. Since TV hosts in the UK don’t have to deal with puritanical American censors, Ellen is planning to be edgier and NOT the “queen of nice” she marketed herself during her daytime TV run. My source reveals a pilot is being filmed early next year and some UK networks are interested.

JENNIFER GARNER AND JENNIFER LOPEZ HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN BEN

Don’t be too surprised if Jennifer Garner starts looking like Jennifer Lopez! As we previously reported, both of Ben Affleck’s exes, have developed a true friendship and spend time together without Ben. Now that she’s in the process of looking for a new home, J.Lo recently cleaned out her closets and donated a vast amount of clothing to various charities, but she also gave Jennifer first dibs. Although the gals have vastly different styles, Jennifer was able to scoop up a few chunky cashmere sweaters and some accessories that Lopez no longer wanted.

KRIS JENNER AND THE ART OF DISTRACTION

Kris Jenner appears barely recognizable in holiday photos on social media, sporting a different hairstyle with bangs. According to my source, she secretly underwent a facelift in Beverly Hills in early November, but is now deploying one of the oldest tricks in the book – changing her hairstyle as a distraction, so the plastic surgery is not as obvious! But the LIPS…

MELANIA TRUMP HAS NO TIME FOR CHERYL HINES

Well, this is just awkward. RFK JR.’S wife, Curb Your Enthusiasm actress, Cheryl Hines is trying to integrate herself into the political world now that she’s pretty much a social outcast in Hollywood – thanks to her husband supporting Donald Trump. Cheryl tried to buddy up to Donald’s wife Melania at a recent event at Mar-a-Lago, but according to my source, Melania shot her down and didn’t even exchange phone numbers when Cheryl asked.

WE TOLD YA SO!

Boy did we tell you so! We exclusively revealed on September 6th that Joe Biden was planning to pardon his son Hunter if Kamala Harris lost the presidential election – and that’s EXACTLY what he just did! See link below. As we also told you expect Joe to issue a tsunami of pardons before Trump takes office in January. Whether it be political scoop or Hollywood gossip, this is the one website that tells it to you FIRST!

BIANCA COULDN’T STAY AWAY FROM KANYE WEST

Looks like Kanye West and Bianca Censori really missed each other. They’ve been separated for weeks while she took time to see her friends and family back in the USA, and he remained in Tokyo. Kanye seems to be “hiding out” there due to his rape and sexual harrassment charges back home. Perhaps they realized they don’t get much attention separately, so the couple both dressed in white for an evening at the movies at a Tokyo mall. Kanye flashed his titanium smile at the crowd of observers.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made headlines when a NY tabloid speculated on the state of their marriage since they haven’t been accompanying each other while on various trips. Here’s what we know. Aside from typical marital issues there’s no trouble in paradise. As Meg and Harry settle into their marriage they’re at that stage where they’re comfortable spending time apart, especially when it involves business trips and ventures. My well placed source says all is fine and that the couple is actually trying to expand their family.

Paris Hilton made the news when she shared an iconic paparazzi photo from 18 years ago of her, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan, leaving the Beverly Hills Hotel. It was iconic because at the time Paris was the world’s biggest reality star (and one of the first) Britney the biggest popstar, and Lindsay the biggest movie star of her generation. Don’t think for a second that this was some random social media post – conniving Paris has a plan. She’s eager to reclaim the level of fame she enjoyed 2 decades ago and is negotiating to team up with Britney and Lindsay for a movie about -what else- 3 former teen stars who reunite 20 years later. Paris has a team working on the rom-com script and my source says Netflix is interested.

Oliver Hudson was a topic of conversation this week after revealing Kurt Russell offered to adopt him and his sister Kate (Kurt is the longtime companion of their mom Goldie Hawn). What he didn’t reveal, though, was after all these years, Goldie and Kurt might actually be MARRIED. The former couple applied for a PRIVATE marriage license (available in California for an additional fee -this means there’s no public record of the marriage and it’s all kept private- they’re extremely popular with celebrities and the upper class for privacy reasons). My source says that Goldie has dropped a few hints but has yet to confirm if she and Kurt went through with it or just applied for the license.

Reality fans will either rejoice or be sad that Bravo announced the entire cast of Vanderpump Rules was getting replaced except for Lisa Vanderpump. Loyal readers will remember we reported some rumblings about this months ago. Here’s what we know. The show is eventually being retooled to have all of the action take place in Las Vegas where Lisa is spearheading some new ventures. The new season will start at her restaurant Sur in West Hollywood with a new cast, but quickly spread to Sin City, where Andy Cohen and the folks at Bravo are eventually planning to expand their Real Housewives franchise with Lisa starring in at least the first season.

Sean Diddy Combs made the news when he was denied bail for the third time, but don’t think for a moment the disgraced rapper is giving up. We just heard that Diddy is planning to either REPLACE his entire legal team or at the very least beef it up with some new players. Get this… he’s hoping to poach some of Donald Trump’s former criminal attorneys! My source says Sean can’t believe he’s still locked up and denied bail, so he’s willing to spend WHATEVER it takes on the best legal eagles to get him sprung from the pokey on bail until his upcoming May 2025 trial.

And finally, Vice President Kamala Harris made the news for taking some time off and visiting Hawaii for Thanksgiving (a well deserved vacation in our opinion). Here’s the latest on Kamala. Once she’s done with Washington, DC her FIRST interview will be with her buddy Oprah Winfrey where she will discuss her thoughts on her last minute presidential campaign. Her next professional step will be hosting a podcast as she decides whether to continue to pursue a career in politics or focus on the private sector.

Happy Thanksgiving readers! We are thankful for the opportunity to bring you the best Hollywood gossip. We will continue to dish it out if you continue to keep gobbling it up….and remember to SHARE!

SEAN DIDDY COMBS IS LIGHTENING HIS LOAD

We happen to LOVE estate sales (and fondly remember a big sale Cher had years ago!) Brace yourself for the estate sale of all estate sales -with so much stuff that it’s being held in multiple cities. Since he was just denied bail for a third time, Sean Diddy Combs is having an everything-must-go sale. As we previously reported, Diddy has been quietly selling off some of his bling to raise cash for his high priced attorneys. His Beverly Hills estate is also on the market, but now his team is planning to sell EVERYTHING – from all of his clothes, priceless entertainment collectibles, furniture, artwork and so much more. The sale is expected to happen early in 2025 in Los Angeles, Miami and New York City. Not including his real estate, Diddy hopes to pocket up to $100 million from selling off his stuff. My source also reveals that talks are in the work to sell off his music catalog, but because he’s so tainted with such perverse allegations against him, his managers don’t think now is the right time to get top dollar.

TED DANSON WANTS TO GO BACK TO CHEERS

Inspired by the success of the Frasier reboot, Ted Danson is working to revisit Cheers and is trying to secure a deal on the same streaming service, Paramount +. Unlike the Frasier reboot, which stars mainly new characters, Ted is hoping to focus on the original cast in the original bar setting. The idea is coming together and even Ted’s podcast partner Woody Harrelson is interested in returning to the show that made him famous. That’s great, but Ted, how about the original writers?

COURTENEY AND JENNIFER: STILL THE BEST OF FRIENDS

We often wrote about Friends stars Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston hanging out together after filming each weeks episode of Friends back in the day. Their friendship was surprising because they didn’t seem to have a lot in common besides the show. The pair frequented a Mexican restaurant in West Hollywood that we liked also, and we often saw them eating and drinking there. That’s when we noticed there is a big difference between the two. This happened every time: When they left and went to get into their separate cars, Courteney always rushed past fans and photographers, kept her head down, didn’t speak to anyone, and sped away. Jennifer stopped to greet everyone waiting outside and patiently signed autographs for all. It took her a bit longer to get home, but it did illustrate a big difference between the friends.
