HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW
The biggest story of the week was the conclusion of Russell Brand’s rape trial where he was convicted of multiple sexual offenses and sentenced to 10 and a half years in a London prison. Here’s what we know. His wife Laura is contemplating filing for divorce, but it’s not exactly what it seems to be. My source explains that Russell is also facing countless civil trials and could wind up losing his entire fortune, so a divorce would likely protect as much as possible since Laura would be entitled to half of everything. This situation is very fluid, but don’t be too surprised if a divorce announcement comes up in the near future.
Speaking of Russell Brand, days after he was found guilty, his ex-wife Katy Perry was spotted having dinner in Beverly Hills, California with her boyfriend, former Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. We can tell you this. No one is more relieved than Katy now that the trial is over – she was concerned she may have been called to testify about his behavior during their short marriage. Katy was informed by prosecutors in London that she WAS on the witness list , but at the end of the day, they felt their case was strong enough without her testimony, and apparently they were right.
Joe Biden made the news when he sat down with People for an interview to promote his upcoming autobiography. Here’s what we know. Being back in the spotlight, although briefly, sparked something in the former president, and now he’s telling pals that he wants to launch a limited series podcast where he will discuss the things he didn’t cover in his book. He’s already met with producers and a distributor and will likely launch it once his book tour concludes this year.
On the subject of politics, the past week saw the blue wave continue. As more votes were tallied Democrats won more seats including the very unexpected win in Mississippi for US Senator. We know this. Our source in the DNC reveals that the next step for the Democratic Party is to focus on Florida. As potential candidates jockey for the Democratic presidential nomination, you can expect them to make Florida their number one priority. Expect to see California Governor Gavin Newsom ( he’s a current front runner) spend more time there and a fundraiser is already in the works for early 2027 in Donald Trump’s backyard, Palm Beach.
Speaking of Donald Trump, my source says that he’s extremely upset with his Vice President, J.D.Vance, since Vance blamed the Republican Party election disaster on Trump’s very unpopular war in Iran. Here’s what we know. Trump recently hinted to pals that he is thinking about replacing Vance as the VP. As far-fetched as this sounds, my source says that Trump values loyalty above anything else , and he no longer feels Vance is loyal after the war comments.
Ariana Grande made the news when she made her red-carpet debut with her off-again on-again boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, to promote her movie, Focker-In-Law. Here’a what we know. Ariana, who loves to be in love, is hinting to friends that she and Ricky may elope over the Christmas holidays. She’s planning a tropical vacation and has the idea to turn the trip into a wedding and a honeymoon. Ariana does have a tendency to change her mind , but my inside source reveals that this is what she’s currently thinking.
The casting for the next James Bond was in the news and we know this. One of the front runners for the coveted role, British star Callum Turner has an advantage over the competition – his newlywed wife, pop star Dua Lipa. My source says that Dua has agreed to write and sing the title song for the movie’s soundtrack if her hunky husband lands the role of Bond. So don’t be too surprised if Callum becomes James Bond and Dua records the soundtrack.
