HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the top stories of the week was the downright nasty custody battle between Halle Berry and her ex, Olivier Martinez over their pre-teen son Maceo.  Here’s what we know.  Our source says that it’s obvious the years haven’t been so kind to the once handsome Olivier (he looks decades older in recent unflattering pics with gray hair and wrinkles) and his once red hot leading man career has all but disappeared.  My source explains that Halle feels his attempt for full custody of their son is Olivier’s way to extract more money out of her, and she intends to fight fire with fire and will soon be filing for FULL custody as well.  This seems to be getting uglier by the minute.

 

Donald Trump continues to make headlines for saying the most outlandish things.  This time, during a rally in a solid blue state, he basically said that he would be fine if Iran took out either Los Angeles or San Diego.  We can tell you this.  His daughter Ivanka went BALLISTIC over the comment – especially since her husband Jared Kushner is in the middle of purchasing the Los Angeles Lakers and needs all the public support he can get.  Ivanka got her dad on the phone and according to my source, read him the riot act, all but threatening to never speak with him again unless he cleaned up his mess. Hence, that’s the real reason why he quickly backtracked and claimed he didn’t mean what he said, since Trump doesn’t like to backpedal.

 

In other Trump news, the woman who was almost his daughter-in-law, Kimberly Guilfoyle (she was engaged to Donnie)  made headlines when it was reported she tried to get a congressional candidate from Kentucky to pay her $100,000 AMEX bill back in 2025.  Our well placed source reveals that Trump is FURIOUS at the report and is considering giving her the boot and replacing her as the Ambassador to Greece.  Nothing has been decided yet – but word in the street is that her days in the cushy position are numbered.

 

Celine Dion was in the news when she performed in Paris, years after self retiring due to stiff person syndrome.  We can tell you this.  Celine underwent experimental treatment for her ailment and is doing so well she’s now in top secret talks to resume her residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Nothing has been decided just yet , but the idea being discussed behind very closed doors is a less demanding schedule of perhaps a few weekends a month.

 

Roseanne Barr was talked about when she announced she had filmed an 8 episode sitcom, called Meemaw and was shopping it around to networks.  Our industry source says that most of the streamers have zero interest in touching this with a ten foot pole,  so Roseanne has a backup plan.  If it doesn’t get sold , she plans on releasing the series online herself ( most likely on YouTube) and she will charge people to view each episode.

 

Prince Harry made headlines when he revealed that he suffered from depression when he and his family moved to Canada.  Although their time there was short lived, Harry had a major case of the blues.  We can tell you this.  He was secretly diagnosed with SAD ( seasonal affective disorder) and the lack of sunlight contributed to his depression.  To keep the disorder at bay, my source reveals that Harry sits in front of a light therapy machine during the less sunnier months to provide him artificial sunlight and vitamin D.

 

Kourtney Kardashian made the news when the sneak peak of upcoming season of her Hulu show, The Kardashians, featured a storyline about her feud with Academy Award winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence.  We can tell you this.  The entire so-called feud was manufactured to give Kourtney a storyline since she prefers to keep her personal life off the show.  Producers needed to drum up something and since Jennifer is not only a huge fan of the show , but also a friend of all the sisters, they asked for her permission before introducing the plot twist.  Long story short, there is no reality in this so -called “feud.”

PROOF THAT A BEARD DOES NOT IMPROVE A MAN’S LOOKS

Jack Black is a clear example of what a beard can do to a man’s appearance. The photo on the left is Jack when he started acting at the age of 23 and the photo on the right is Jack now- 34 years later. Clearly the facial hair does him no favors. He could still be an attractive man under that mess.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our handsome chap has suffered his fair share of heartbreak , but he finally seems to have found a romantic partner to spend his golden years with.  The only problem is his new squeeze doesn’t have a clue that her man swings both ways.  Yes, our guy is bisexual and has a habit of hiring rent-boys young enough to be his grandson.  He does his best to hide his sexual desires, and has even gone so far as to pay off one of his tricks who threatened to reveal his secret to the world. His new galpal is thrilled to be with a movie star (even though she’s famous in her own right) so she’s not asking too many questions about why he seems to disappear at times.  He claims he needs a few days a week to himself , but THAT’S when he’s hooking up with his boy toys.

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our gal starred in one of the most popular TV shows in the early 1990’s, and her career has been steady ever since  – though nowhere near the early success she achieved on THAT particular show.  She still works , but was abruptly replaced on her latest project because she’s developed an addiction to powerful pain killers, which affected her job performance.  She pops the prescriptions like they’re breath-mints, and has now taken to going over the border to Tijuana to get her fix since her LA based doctors will no longer prescribe her the medication. She doesn’t want to wind up a casualty though,  so she is at least smart enough to test the drugs to ensure they’re aren’t laced with fentanyl.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our B- list actor with A- list name recognition seemed to be everywhere earlier this summer – he had a hit  controversial movie which made him in demand on the podcast and talk show circuit.  After the initial flurry of press, he dropped out of sight and we know why.  He was HORRIFIED by his appearance while doing promotions for his flick , and decided to have some work done.  He all but disappeared in late August and had plastic surgery on his face and body.  He’s pretty much all healed now and looks refreshed , so he’s once again ready to work his way back into the limelight.

 

GUESS WHO!!

ANDY COHEN WANTS THE RIGHTS TO HIS OWN NAME

Not even Andy Cohen can get anything he wants.  The Bravo honcho has tried to secure the rights to the Instagram handle, “Andy” to replace his current name “BravoAndy”, and even though he has over 5.5 million followers , he feels it’s more of a flex just to have the name Andy.  According to my source, Andy has reached out to the lucky guy who has the handle, Andy, and offered various incentives for him to give it up and let him take it over.  Despite the pleas and lucrative offers, the guy has zero interest in handing over his name to Andy.  My source adds that Andy isn’t giving up though , and keeps sweetening the deal.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander – at least according to Catherine Zeta-Jones. Now that her husband Michael Douglas has released his autobiography, One Helluva Ride, Catherine has decided to put pen to paper and work on her OWN life story.

My source adds that she’s hoping to finish the book and release it in time for Christmas 2027.

WHAT WILL BRITNEY THINK?

Sam Asghari’s 15 minutes of fame might not be over yet.  The Iranian model is best known for his former marriage to Britney Spears and he’s pretty much fallen off the radar since they divorced – but that’s about to change.  According to my source, Sam is being considered to become one of the next Bachelors on the still popular ABC series.  My source says as part of his settlement from Britney,  he ‘s limited to what he can and can’t do (and say) – but appearing on a dating reality show shouldn’t be an issue as long as he doesn’t discuss his time with Britney.  It’s not a done deal yet , and it might not happen until the season after next , but negotiations are ongoing.

BALLET FASHION AT IT’S BEST

The NYC Ballet Fashion Gala attracted some highly original fashion.  The guy in this white shirt and tie that  wraps and  twists into a gown is identified as Gilbert Bolden III – we’re guessing he’s probably a dancer.  This festive and one-of-a-kind outfit even matches his eyebrows…
