Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

After years of making headlines for less than desirable reasons ( drug use, depression, etc…) SNL funnyman Pete Davidson finally made the news for something joyous – he’s having a baby with his girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt.  Here’s what we know.  Pete, 31, is confiding to pals that this wasn’t an accident and that he and Elsie have been trying to start a family almost since their first date.  After years of feeling like a boytoy (he’s rumored to be packing) Pete has been craving the stability of starting a family, and while past flings like Kim Kardashian expressed no interest, Elsie signed on immediately – and that’s where we are at.

 

 

Gwyneth Paltrow wasn’t thrilled to be in the news when it was revealed that a tell-all biography about her was being released on July 29.  The book, Gwyneth: The Biography, dives deep into her complex personal and business relationships including those with her former boyfriends, like Brad Pitt.  The passage about Gwyneth worrying that Brad wasn’t right for her because he didn’t know about caviar is telling in itself.  Here’s what we know. Gwyneth has no plans to take this lying down – she’s ready to tell HER side of the story, and is already working on her autobiography.  We also heard she already has a seven figure publishing deal in place.

 

 

Disgraced and deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein was all over the news when the Trump administration decided not to release the long anticipated client list ( which now Trump claims doesn’t exist).  We just heard this doozy.  Trump’s friend turned foe, Elon Musk, is financing an effort to go to court and DEMAND the files be released.  Elon plans to issue countless subpoenas and force people to testify under oath.  My source says this is Elon’s way of getting back at Trump as their war continues.

 

 

The beloved movie Clueless was in the news for turning 30 ( it seems like yesterday we were at a screening) and we just heard that star Alicia Silverstone is open to the idea of a sequel.  The script is being written and if Alicia likes what she sees, you can expect the movie to begin production in 2026.

 

 

The feud between Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell continues with Trump threatening to take away her citizenship. ( he can’t) Although we can see this was just Trump’s way of causing an outrageous distraction to get the public to stop talking about the Epstein files ( see item above).  We just heard that Rosie is now teaming up with the Democratic Party to fundraise for the 2026 midterms and is planning to film TV commercials for various candidates.  Rosie is using Trump’s threats against him and secretly confided to a pal that she LOVES  that she has a knack for getting under his skin.

 

 

Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle made the news too when they laughed off rumors of a split on Michelle’s podcast, IMO.  The former President appeared on Michelle’s podcast and revealed they are happier than ever.  We know that we they didn’t reveal.  They are planning to renew their vows this December during their annual Christmas vacation to Hawaii.  Our well placed source reveals you can expect a smattering of A-list friends to attend the beach ceremony.

 

 

The honeymoon is over for newlyweds Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos.  They’re still madly in love but their honeymoon has ended, and they made news for returning to Miami after their extravagant European wedding.  Here’s what we know.  Now that they’re back in the States, Lauren is busy planning her next wedding celebration for the hundreds of friends who weren’t invited to the Italian nuptials.  Despite money being no object,  their Venice, Italy, venues could only accommodate so many guests, and the couple felt bad leaving so many people uninvited.  We hear the next wedding reception will take place in Miami, which they now call home.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

They say there’s no such thing as job security in the world of entertainment – but sometimes there are exceptions.  Far from being the most talented, this funnyman seems to have staying power like no other.  While many of his far more talented costars have been replaced throughout the years, our guy continues to collect a fat paycheck and now we know WHY.  Right after he was cast for this hit show, he somehow got his hands on a very incriminating video of the show’s producer in a very compromising and disturbing position.  He let the big boss know that his secret was locked away in the vault, and would stay there as long as he was appearing on the show.  And THAT my friends, is the reason he is still employed.
GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Actor A and Actor B have both had feast or famine careers.  They both have movie star good looks coupled with genuine talent, but it’s always been their off camera antics that have torpedoed their success.  Cutting to the chase – when the cameras aren’t rolling, it’s all sex, drugs, and rock and roll.  Nonetheless, the  guys forged a friendship and have been there for each other – until now!  Years ago, Actor A lent Actor B a large some of money when Actor A was feasting and Actor B famishing.  But the tides changed and now Actor A needs the money back – but Actor B is refusing the pay him.  To say it’s getting ugly would be an understatement.  Actor A was days from filing a lawsuit against Actor B, but then news broke that Actor B was going through a medical crisis, so Actor A paused the legal process but is still desperate for the money since we are talking almost a million dollars.
GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our gal was once on track for a HUGE career with a hit TV show and a promising movie career, but her ego got in the way of her success and she quickly earned a reputation for being too difficult to work with.  She tried her hand at various projects, including a reality TV show that was really beneath her, but she needed the cash.  Even THAT didn’t work out, so now she’s turned to a professional matchmaker to help her find a mega-wealthy Middle Eastern husband.  And get THIS:  she was referred to the matchmaker by another down on her luck starlet who is now sitting pretty thanks to the matchmaker who fixed her up with a gazillionaire foreigner.
GUESS WHO!!

MADONNA: VIVA LAS VEGAS!

It’s hard to believe,  but Madonna has never had a residency at any of Las Vegas’s numerous resorts.  Although she’s performed countless times in Sin City during her various tours, she’s never had a permanent place to hang her hat – but that’s about to change.  My inside Vegas source reveals Madonna is in secret talks with Resorts World (where Katy Perry recently concluded her residency) about holding court there on a regular basis beginning next summer.  These are complicated deals and there are no signed agreements just yet, but don’t be surprised if something is announced later this year.

THE WHITE LOTUS WANTS KATIE HOLMES

Will Katie Holmes be checking into the White Lotus next season?  Well, she will if the show’s creator, Mike White has his way.  According to our source,  (who’s been spot on with countless scoops last season) Mike is trying to persuade Katie to join the cast and negotiations are underway.  Now that Katie’s daughter, Suri is in college, Katie is ready to resume her acting career.  The only issue is, she doesn’t want to commit to such a long shoot away from home (season three took 7 months to film overseas).  So if there’s a way Katie can have a shorter schedule she’s open to the idea.

Here’s a piece of political gossip that will pop your eyes open! Lauren Sanchez Bezos is urging her newlywed husband, Jeff Bezos, to run for PRESIDENT in 2028! Despite being one of the world’s wealthiest men, being president of the USA opens doors that even Jeff’s billions can’t buy – plus Lauren fantasizes about being the First Lady and hobnobbing with the world’s most powerful people.  Behind very, very,  very closed doors, plans are underway to launch an exploratory committee to see how the public would feel about Jeff running the country. How do YOU feel?

ATTENTION JUSTIN BIEBER: BRITNEY SPEARS IS HERE TO HELP

We’re not sure if this is a case of the blind leading the blind,  but nonetheless here we go.  Justin Bieber seems to be spiraling out of control and none other than fellow pop star Britney Spears wants to help. According to my source, Britney feels she is the PERFECT person to reach out to Justin because they share the experience of having fame and fortune as teens.  They don’t really run in the same circles, but they do have some overlap of friends and now Britney has reached out to let Justin know she’s only a phone call away If he needs to speak with someone who can relate to exactly what he’s going through.  We have a feeling however, that Justin’s problems are not QUITE the same as Brit’s.

JENNIFER LOPEZ: THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

Jennifer Lopez is not about to let a little wind stop her from finishing her concert in Malaga this week. In fact the wind that night was SO powerful that it delayed the show for several hours, and the fans had plenty of complaints – mostly about the venue.  But her performance made up for the aggravation. Workaholic Jennifer is currently on her Up All Night: Live in 2025 tour that kicked off in Spain. She has 22 shows in Europe and closes in Sardinia, Italy, on August 12. It’s her first tour in 6 years and she’s determined to please. Does this woman ever take a vacation?  You would think she’d need one after the Ben Affleck break-up…

DOES JAY-Z HAVE A SECRET SON?

Apparently Jay-Z, 55, is not as popular as he used to be. Nicki Minaj reposted this info (that was originally posted by 50Cent)  about a 31 year old guy who claims to be Jay-Z’s illegitimate son. For YEARS, Rymir Satterwaite has been insisting that Jay-Z had a fling with his late mother Wanda in the 90’s, and Jay-Z refuses to acknowledge the fact. Through the years, Rymir’s paternity suits have been dismissed, and Jay-Z has always called the suits “harrassment” and “fabricated allegations.” However, Jay-Z has always REFUSED to take a DNA test to end the matter.  And there IS a similarity in their looks…
