Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The Diddy verdict was one of the biggest stories of the week as after a month-long Federal trial the jury acquitted him of the three most serious charges, and found him guilty on two lesser charges involving prostitution.  Although he avoided a potential life in prison sentence, Diddy is still facing 20 possible years behind bars which breaks down to 10 years for each conviction.  Here’s what we know.  While Diddy was relieved that he was acquitted of the most serious charges, he is getting ready to both appeal the conviction on technical grounds, and as we previously told you, he has friends reaching out to Donald Trump in hopes of getting pardoned.  My source says that Diddy still has some friends in high places – so don’t be too shocked if the pardon happens before a long drawn out appeal!

 

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, was in the news when she spoke out about her roller coaster recovery after bowing out of a recent scheduled public appearance.  We just heard that Kate, who has remained tight lipped about her actual illness, is now making arrangements for a sit down interview with the BBC where she will reveal her exact diagnosis and prognosis.  While speaking so publicly about something so private is out of character for the Royal Family, my source says that Kate has been pushing for this,  but wanted the blessing of her notoriously private father-in-law, King Charles, before giving and interview and he finally gave his permission.

 

Khloe Kardashian made some headlines when she revealed the litany of plastic surgery procedures she’s gone under since bursting onto the spotlight years ago.  Khloe not only posted her procedures, but also tagged the doctors and medical professionals who administered them.  We know this.  Despite the seemingly long list, a well placed source says that Khloe left OUT a few surgical procedures from a top Beverly Hills physician that is a go to doc for her family.  Since medical procedures are confidential,  all we will say is that she allegedly had some work done below the belt, so use your imagination.

 

Wendy Williams was seen out and about this week and we just heard this update about her ongoing legal battle to get her conservatorship removed.  Lately, Wendy has been granted more and more freedom which is why she was seen having dinner with friends in New York City. Wendy is still pursuing her legal options, but for the time being she doesn’t want to rock the boat too much – since she has been granted more freedoms.  Long story short, we heard that these newfound freedoms are part of a trial run and if Wendy continues to do well,  she might get her wish and have the conservatorship removed.

 

Yikes!  The boys were at it again with Elon Musk going hard against Donald Trump’s big beautiful bill and Trump threatening to look into DEPORTING Elon.  Here’s what we know.  Behind very closed doors, Elon has been quietly reaching out to powerful DEMOCRATS and is offering to finance a coalition to IMPEACH Trump!  Elon is vowing to donate MILLIONS if he can persuade enough politicians to launch a recall campaign.

 

Bryan Kohberger made unexpected news when he changed his not guilty plea to guilty, admitting to the murder of four University of Idaho students. Once the trial judge denied his lawyers’ request to point the finger at other potential suspects, it became apparent his legal options were limited, and that’s what likely prompted the guilty plea. Here’s what we know.  Hollywood is already scrambling to secure the rights to the case and it’s very likely to happen since all monies paid to Bryan for his story will automatically go to the victims families.  We hear Glee and American Crime Story producer Ryan Murphy is already contemplating securing the rights.

 

The dust has finally settled on wedding of the decade, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s Venetian nuptials and we know this.  Because of the expected backlash, many of the guests who RSVP’D yes backed out at the last minute – which is the REAL reason Lauren’s gal pal, Eva Longoria, skipped the event, claiming she had a work conflict for her CNN series on Spain.  That’s why some last minute guests were added. Long story short, the attendees who DID show up were a far cry from some of the A-listers who were committed to attend but decided to beg off.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This actress was once considered one of America’s sweethearts with her classic California blonde looks  – along with an impressive career.  The years haven’t been so kind and her beauty started fading, along with the quality of her work.  After a very dark period, she seemed to get her life back together, embracing sobriety and focused on a Hollywood comeback.  Sadly, she just fell off the wagon with both booze and pills.  She was recently filming a project,  but the director had to halt the production because she was higher than a kite. She started going off script – babbling about her lesbian fantasies and sexual proclivities -despite the fact that  she was SUPPOSED to talk about a beauty product she was getting paid to endorse…

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our gal’s weight has gone up and down like an elevator, but lately she’s as fit as a fiddle. She’s frequently seen carrying an aluminum beverage flask telling anyone who will listen that she likes to “stay hydrated.”  It so happens she’s not as worried about being hydrated as she is about looking thin.  The beverage flask is rarely filed with just water and usually contains what she calls a “poop tea”.  The herbal tea is specially blended by her nutritionist to help her shed water weight and also induce bowel movements.  She relies on this diet secret far too often, and some closest to her are worried she’s screwing up her digestive system by overusing the special tea.  Here’s a big clue… she was recently photographed at a hoity toity event dressed to the nines and schlepping the flask.
GUESS WHO!!

Their divorce was hardly the definition of amicable, but time heals all wounds, and they are now civil.   But buckle up kiddos, it’s going to get bumpy.  Our guy was seemingly decent during the divorce, giving our gal a lump sum settlement and she was fine with that.   Until now.  The reason?  She just found out that he is about to inherit a FORTUNE from a long-ago deceased relative whose estate was trapped in probate for ages.  The legal battles are close to being resolved, and our guy will instantly be worth MILLIONS – of course, now she wants a chunk of that windfall.  Here are your clues –  he’s a former A- list now B- list movie actor, and she is a C list TV personality.
GUESS WHO!!

CHER IS NOT GIVING UP ON SON ELIJAH ALLMAN

Cher is hoping to turn back time and return to court to convince a judge to grant her conservatorship over her troubled son Elijah Allman.  Just last year, Cher was unsuccessful in trying to get control over her son and his finances, but after he reportedly nearly overdosed, she’s heading back to court and plans to file a new case.  My source says that Cher is hoping to taking a different approach this time, and she’s  working with doctors in hopes of persuading a judge that Elijah is a danger to himself and needs to have someone making decisions for him. While Cher would still like to be appointed conservator, she’s now open to the idea of an unbiased professional taking control over her son’s life – anything to get him back on track…

MEGHAN MARKLE HAS A NEW FRIEND

Well THIS is an odd couple – Meghan Markle and Carol Burnett!  The comedienne recently relocated from her long time home at The Wilshire  (a posh condominium building in Los Angeles that’s been home to many stars over the years) to a house in Montecito, California, just a hop skip and a jump from Meghan and Prince Harry.  As soon as the former princess realized the queen of comedy was her new neighbor, she sent over a gift basket loaded with goodies from her As Ever brand.  As odd as it sounds, the two struck up a friendship and Meghan has become a granddaughter figure for Carol.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Sure,  she’s been in a few hit TV shows, and starred in some so-so movies, but if you read the publicity surrounding her, one would likely assume she’s the biggest star in the world.  She somehow snags invites at the MOST desirable events, and if there’s a coveted red carpet she’s THERE.  Granted, she’s cute and has some talent, but that’s not what boosted her popularity.  She’s been having an affair with a VERY powerful and wealthy Hollywood insider, and that’s why she’s suddenly being promoted as the hottest thing out there.

TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS KELCE DUET?

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift  were just spotted in Nashville singing and dancing to her classic hit, Shake It Off.  We just heard this cute tidbit.: Taylor is actually planning to record a new single  (soon) and Travis is going to join her in the recording studio and be featured on the song. (Does he SING?) They have been planning this for a while and their impromptu duet in Nashville was their way of giving their fans a little CLUE in advance…

WE TOLD YA SO!

A while back we reported that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez asked their wedding guests for no gifts and instead were going to mention a list of charities they were donating to instead.  Well the coveted invitation was just leaked, (see link below) and our source was spot on.  No Gifts was their only request, and they listed some of their currently favorite charities.  While not suggesting their guests make donations, that is exactly what is happening as many of the A-list celebrities and fellow billionaires are writing generous checks to these charities.  Hate to say it , but WE TOLD YA SO.
