CHRIS APPLETON DOESN’T LIKE BEING SINGLE

White Lotus star Lukas Gage has moved on and his ex-husband, hairdresser Chris Appleton is none too pleased. According to my source, Chris is having a major midlife crisis as he’s no longer satisfied putting curlers in Kim Kardashian’s hair. He rushed into marriage with younger Lukas, hoping for stability, and was heartbroken months later when the marriage ended. Chris’ saving grace was his belief that he would find another boyfriend before Lukas did, but he was devastated to discover Lukas has been seriously dating a discreet international BILLIONAIRE whose family made their fortune in the beauty industry. (The billionaire isn’t out to his family, so we aren’t going to name him) Chris is distressed because Lukas found stability with someone who has more money than Chris could make in a million lifetimes. It’s eating him alive… especially since the guy’s money comes from the beauty industry!

CHRIS APPLETON AND KIM KARDASHIAN HAVE MADE A BET

I’m a scene straight out of Seinfeld, Kim Kardashian and her hairstylist buddy Chris Appleton are in a celibacy contest to see WHO can go the longest without sex. The one thing Kim and Chris have in common is they’re unlucky in love, and after a string of failed romances, they’re now seeing who can go the LONGEST without any intimacy. My source says that Kim and Chris both seem to confuse sex with love, meaning they fall fast once they’re getting frisky with someone, so they made a pledge to see who can date the longest without sex. To make things interesting, there’s $100,000 on the line…

CHRIS APPLETON HAS KIM KARDASHIAN TO THANK

It pays to be nice to Kim Kardashian. Kim’s longtime hair stylist, Chris Appleton, just landed a new gig and he can thank Kim for it. Chris will be working the red carpet at the upcoming Met Gala as a correspondent, and it was none other than Kim who recommended him for the job. Since the annual event is deemed the biggest night for fashion, Chris will be commenting on the costumes as well as the hairstyles. According to my source, Kim heard about the job and immediately called the higher-ups, telling them to hire Chris and that’s exactly what they did.

CHRIS APPLETON AND GOOD LOOKING NEW BOYFRIEND FEDERICO ARE ALREADY KAPUT

Well that was fast. No sooner did celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton go public with his new hunky beau, Argentinian art dealer Federico Debernardi, than the handsome couple called it quits. Chris paraded Federico around Hollywood during Oscar week, attending some of the celebrity packed parties, but according to an insider they broke up less than two weeks later. There was no drama – the source says that Chris decided he wasn’t ready to enter into a relationship so soon after his disastrous marriage and contentious divorce from actor Lukas Gage.

JENNIFER COOLIDGE HAPPENS TO BE A LOYAL FRIEND

If you were wondering what type of person White Lotus star and Emmy winner, Jennifer Coolidge is, wonder no more. Jennifer has stayed friends with her season one Lotus costar, Lukas Gage, and through him she befriended his then-husband, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton. Jennifer was lucky enough to have Chris do her hair a few times, especially for awards season, and she LOVED the results. But Lukas’ marriage to Chris imploded and Jennifer had a real life Sophie’s Choice: she couldn’t continue her professional relationship with Chris because it would jeopardize her friendship with Lukas. In the end, Jennifer chose friendship over beauty, and even though she LOVED Chris’ talents, she didn’t want to upset Lukas since his divorce from Chris IS contentious.

KIM KARDASHIAN CONTINUES HER WINNING STREAK

And the winner is… Kim Kardashian! Remember…a few weeks ago we revealed that swoon-worthy celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton was trapped in a love triangle with his two biggest clients, Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian. Each wanted to have Chris at their beck and call 24/7. As our source explains, nice guy Chris was filled with angst having to choose one gal over the other, but with awards season coming up he KNEW he had to decide. In the end, Chris decided to focus on Kim, but not before promising to still do J.Lo for special occasions – as long as they don’t conflict with Kim.

CHRIS APPLETON AS FIRST GAY BACHELOR? LINE FORMS TO THE RIGHT…

They say every dark cloud has a silver lining and now Kim Kardashian is hoping to help her hairstylist, Chris Appleton find HIS. Chris is licking his wounds over his disastrous short lived marriage to White Lotus star Lukas Gage, so quick-thinking Kim decided to turn the fallout from failed romance into a TV show! Let’s face it – when Kim calls, network executives pick up the phone! She recently reached out to the powers-that-be at ABC to pitch Chris as the first gay Bachelor! To sweeten the deal, publicity loving Kim agreed to make frequent appearances on the show and also serve as an executive producer. A decision hasn’t been reached yet, but Chris is up for a chance at finding love on TV -especially if Kim is part of the equation.

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND KIM KARDASHIAN ARE FIGHTING OVER THE SAME MAN

The man that J.Lo and Kim both adore is their handsome hairstylist Chris Appleton. Chris rarely if ever sees non-celebrity clients (he will for the right price) and J.Lo and Kim both have him on retainer, so he’s at their beck and call. It worked out fine when things slowed down during covid and the writers’ strike. But now that things are picking up and we’re heading into the Hollywood award season, poor Chris is trapped in an unmanageable love triangle! Kim and J.Lo both want to be the top banana so it’s become a complicated situation. My source predicts that sooner rather than later Chris will have to reluctantly choose ONE over the other since he can’t be in two places at once…

CHRIS APPLETON IS A TRUE FRIEND TO KIM KARDASHIAN

Now it can be told! We were the first to reveal that celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton’s marriage to White Lotus star Lukas Gage was headed for splitsville, and now we can share THIS juicy tidbit: My source revealed that Chris and Lukas actually split up months BEFORE they announced their split, but they kept it quiet. And THAT’s because Chris’s biggest client, Kim Kardashian, enticed him to keep the split private until AFTER their Las Vegas elopement episode aired on Kim’s reality show, The Kardashians! An entire episode of Kim’s show was devoted to Chris and Lukas’s surprise wedding – not only was she one of their only guests, but she even flew the couple on her private jet. My source explains that Kim thought it would be better for the ratings if Chris waited to announce the split until after the episode aired – and that’s exactly what he did.

CHRIS APPLETON LEARNED HIS LESSON: PRE-NUP IS NOT ENOUGH

We were the first to tell you about Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage having marital problems, and now that they’re officially splitting up, we will be the first to tell you the break up might not be as clean as Chris expected. Although they have a prenuptial agreement already in place, one thing that it doesn’t cover is an NDA. Chris does a lot of celebrity hair, with Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez being two of his biggest clients. Lukas hung out with almost all of Chris’s celebrity clients, so now Chris wants to make sure their secrets are safe. My source says that Chris plans on being nice and generous in the split if Lukas signs a non-disclosure agreement covering all of Chris’ celebrity clients as part of a compensation package. It seems Lukas can be somewhat of a loose cannon, and Chris doesn’t want to risk alienating any of his A-list friends and clients, so THAT’S why he’s willing to part with more cash.
