Blackballed!

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Elon Musk made the news with his much anticipated, but poorly executed interview with Donald Trump on his website X, formerly known as Twitter. Not only was the interview riddled with technical problems, but now Elon is persona non grata in some of his favorite Hollywood establishments. According to our source, Elon’s been told he’s not welcome at a private membership club where he was allowed to frequent even though he wasn’t a member. We heard his brown-nosing of Trump was the final straw for the management of the celebrity popular establishment.

Adele made headlines when she confirmed her engagement to professional sports agent, Rich Paul, while performing at a concert in Europe. We just heard what she DIDN’T reveal though. Although she and Rich aren’t married yet, that hasn’t stopped them from starting IVF treatments with a top Beverly Hills doctor. Adele, 36 and Rich, 43 want to start a family ASAP so that’s why they started the IVF procedure. They apparently have been trying to conceive for a year but have been unsuccessful.

We forgot that Elle King was the daughter of right wing nut job and former SNL funny man Rob Schneider, but this week her explosive interview where she bashed her dad for being anti-gay and for sending her to a fat farm as a teen made headlines. We just heard that Rob is desperate to mend fences with his daughter, offering to go to family therapy, but Elle let him know through mutual contacts (they don’t speak) thanks but no thanks.

Speaking of families in crisis, Brad Pitt’s adopted son Pax made headlines when he was severely injured in a motorbike accident in Los Feliz, an area of Los Angeles. We just heard that Brad attempted to visit Pax in the hospital but was turned away. Pax, like many of the other kids he shares with his ex-wife Angelina Jolie, wants NOTHING to do with Brad.

B-list celebrity and nepo baby, Sara Foster made headlines for splitting with her partner of 19 years, pro tennis star Tommy Haas. Here’s what we know. While other outlets reported that Sara and Tommy were married our well-placed source reveals they never legally wed and instead are common law partners. We also heard that allegations of infidelity are being tossed around on BOTH sides and this split will likely get UGLY.

We started with Donald Trump and will finish with Donald Trump for this week’s Here’s What We Know recap. His online interview on X made headlines for so many reasons including his obvious lisp. According to our well-placed source, Donald recently had some work done to his teeth, including having a partial denture glued in his mouth. He has been having a hard time adjusting to the new apparatus and that’s why he’s been lisping.

JOHNNY DEPP: HOW NOT TO GET A DIVORCE

There’s no doubt that Johnny Depp’s career has taken a severe beating since he split with wife Amber Heard in 2016. The lawsuit he filed against The Sun for calling him a “wife-beater” was a nightmare- he was drilled about his behavior in court and all sorts of negative conduct involving drugs and alcohol were dredged up and he looked BAD. And he lost. It cost him all his big ticket movie roles (Fantastic Beasts, Pirates of the Caribbean etc) His current 50 million dollar defamation lawsuit against Amber (she wrote in the Washington Post that she is a “domestic abuse survivor”) will no doubt repeat those debauched stories about him. He’s in a bad place and he and Amber are both spending a fortune on lawyers. Depp did manage to make a movie –City of Lies- that is showing, but not in competition, at the Deauville American Film Festival. His fans were happy to see him there, even if he did a lot of complaining about being blackballed in Hollywood…

KATHY GRIFFIN: NOT AS HARD UP AS YOU THINK

Kathy Griffin’s house in the Hollywood Hills has been on the market for awhile, and it finally sold for four and a half million dollars, according to the LA Times. Is she downsizing? Not yet. Kathy bought her current 13,400 sq ft Bel Air mansion last year (before the Trump photo debacle) for nearly 11 million dollars. Yes, this is the house where she has a restraining order against her volatile neighbor. Whether she can afford to KEEP the big house remains to be seen. She’s handling her “blackballing” by badmouthing Andy Cohen and TMZ’s Harvey Levin, yet she wants to remain a friend to the LGBT community. Actually, her gay fans are the core of her success as a comic, and we predict they WILL help her make a comeback. But whether her comeback is enough to support an 11 million dollar house remains to be seen.
