ELON MUSK WANTS ROSIE O’DONNELL ON HIS SIDE

One again…politics makes strange bedfellows,  and this latest pairing could take the cake.  Just when we thought it was over, Elon Musk’s feud with Donald Trump is back with a vengeance – with Elon threatening to finance primary campaigns against ANY Congressman who voted for Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.  In retaliation,  Trump is threatening to stop all government subsidies for Elon’s various businesses like solar power and electric vehicles.  And it keeps getting  weirder. Elon has now reached out to one of the people who seems to get under Trump’s skin more than most, Rosie O’Donnell!  As odd as it sounds, Elon wants to team up with Rosie and unite against Trump.  My well placed source reveals Rosie, while no fan of Elon, still feels he’s the lesser of two evils when compared to Trump, and she has NOT ruled out working with him in some capacity.

ORLANDO BLOOM IS SHOPPING FOR A BACHELOR PAD

Now that he’s back on the market, Orlando Bloom is in the market for a new place to hang his hat.  Orlando was living in Montecito, California, when he was shacking up with his baby mama, Katy Perry, but now that they’ve called it quits, he’s frantically looking for a bachelor pad in West Hollywood.  My source says that Montecito was the perfect place when Orlando planned on marrying Katy and settling down, but it’s far from perfect for a bachelor, with my source describing it as full of “families and old people.” Orlando wants to start over in a swanky house above Sunset Strip and has already begun his search.

DID JEFF BEZOS ARRANGE THE LAUREN SANCHEZ VOGUE COVER?

Let’s preface this.  This is gossip and may or may not be true so to avoid any legal repercussions we are stressing that the following is just something we HEARD but can’t confirm, so judge for yourself.  A very well placed source reveals that Lauren Sanchez Bezos’ surprising digital Vogue cover was no surprise at all.  The rumor going around Hollywood, and of course New York City, is that Lauren’s newlywed husband pulled MAJOR strings and made a deal (assumingely to spend a boatload of money on advertising in the magazine) to ensure that Lauren and her Dolce and Gabbana wedding dress made the cover.  Remember, we aren’t stating this as fact since the last thing we want is to irk one of the world’s wealthiest men, so take it with a grain of salt,  even if our source is impeccable…

RIHANNA’S SPECIAL MEMORIAL EVENT FOR HER LATE DAD

Rihanna is getting ready to bury her father, Ronald Fenty, in his native Barbados, and despite the fact that they had an occasionally rocky relationship,  money is no object and no expense is being spared.  The services are happening today, Sunday July 6, and to make sure everything was perfect, RiRi flew in her preferred vendors to the tropical island.  That includes a florist,  caterer, event planner, and even a mortician. (to oversee the process ) Rihanna realized her options were limited in Barbados, so she dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure everything was up to her standard.  This is in addition to the million dollar plus tab Rihanna paid to get him the best care at Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles, since Ronald only had health  insurance for care in Barbados. She hinted to pals she might even perform her smash hit Umbrella, and dedicate it to her dad.

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.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

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…
