Contract

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The new cast on Dancing with the Stars has been announced and the always hustling Tori Spelling has agreed to do the hustle for a big payday. Here’s what we just heard. Not only is Tori pocketing a nice paycheck for her twirl on the dance floor, but she’s been offered a bonus if she gets her mother, Candy Spelling to appear in the audience. The popular show attracts older viewers and given the tumultuous history between Tori and Candy, producers think having Candy show up to watch her daughter dance will bring in HUGE ratings.

With the election coming up it’s been a busy week for political gossip. Let’s start with Republican Liz Cheney. We’ve all known she was no fan of Donald Trump, but she came out this week and announced she would be voting for Kamala Harris. Here’s what we know. Liz and the vice president, although their political beliefs couldn’t be further apart, have mutual respect for one another. Kamala has already mentioned that she would appoint a Republican to her cabinet and I’m hearing that Republican will be Liz. That’s one of the reasons Liz came out and announced that she will be voting for Kamala. You can also expect to see her pop up in television commercials and on the campaign trail.

With the upcoming presidential debate only days away, we heard this funny anecdote. While Kamala is busy prepping for the debate, Donald Trump is taking another route. He is getting fitted for a waist cinching girdle, new lifts for his shoes, and wrinkle reducing treatments. According to my source Donald wants to appear thinner, taller, and younger, as he’s worried he is going to look like a frail old man next to Kamala, who is nearly 30 years younger.

In the last piece of political gossip today, Hunter Biden did a last-minute reversal in his criminal tax trial and announced he was going to plead guilty. We just heard this. The reasoning is he’s hoping to avoid a jail sentence, but if he is incarcerated, you can expect his father, President Joe Biden will pardon him during his last days in office. My source says that Biden is still disappointed that he was abandoned by the Democratic Party, and while he supporting Kamala’s run for president, he’s going to issue whatever pardons that he chooses since he’s leaving office without regard for the optics, and of course that includes his son.

Nikki Bella made the headlines this week when it was announced she was looking for a divorce lawyer to end her marriage to pro dancer Artem Chigvinstev but we heard there is much more to the story. According to my source, her soon to be ex-husband plans to subpoena her former boyfriend, John Cena to find out if Nikki ever got physically violent during their relationship. You’ll remember it was Artem who first called 911 to report that Nikki was throwing shoes at him, so don’t think for a minute that this split won’t get ugly.

Finally, the biggest news of the week was Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s break up contract. Although all sides insisted it was a fake and had no validity at all, my source says Taylor is LIVID. I just heard that Taylor is now insisting Travis let her management team handle all of their PR. Since the purported fake contract had the official letterhead from Travis‘s current team, Taylor is a little suspect that it didn’t come from them, despite the denials. Moving forward, you can expect Taylor’s ‘s team to be in charge of anything related to public relations.

DONALD’S INDICTED AND MELANIA’S CASHING IN !

Donald Trump was just indicted in an alleged $130,000 hush money payment to his rumored mistress, Stormy Daniels, but his wife Melania might have just hit the jackpot. An insider reveals that after Donald lost the presidential election, Melania quickly renegotiated her marital contract with Donald, since at the time she was contemplating leaving him. Not only did she get a bigger slice of his wealth in case of death or divorce, but she also had the foresight to include a clause that if he was ever charged with a crime or caught having an affair she gets even MORE to stick around! Long story short, a bad day for Donald might be a financial windfall for Melania.

HEY USHER! JUSTIN BIEBER’S DAD JEREMY WANTS TO BE A ROCKSTAR TOO!

Justin Bieber’s father Jeremy, 37, is trying to use his son’s connections with Usher to land his own recording contract. Jeremy and Justin’s mother split not long after his birth, but his dad stayed in his life and helped Justin learn songs on his first guitar. Jeremy has long been an aspiring singer and his son’s fame has brought him into the spotlight also. Maybe Jeremy figures that Justin’s fans’ MOTHERS will buy his music. It’s not all that farfetched, keep in mind that Amy Winehouse’s father Mitch is now getting singing gigs.

BRAD WOMACK’S NEW BACHELOR SHOW WON’T HAVE THE SAME ENDING

“Bachelor” Brad Womack, 37, stunned and outraged his audience on the show in 2007 when he refused to choose ANYBODY. He rejected both finalists DeAnn Pappas and Jenni Croft. He explained “I was honest- I didn’t want to lead anybody on.” He’s being given a second chance, but in spite of the fact that he insists he has changed since 2007, he vowed to “walk away again” if he has to. But we know he WON’T. Why? Because before producers agreed to use him again, he had to sign a contract that no matter what, he has to pick SOMEONE this time around.

HOW MANY OF THE JERSEY SHORE ORIGINALS RETURN TO WORK, REMAINS TO BE SEEN

We’re not certain that the phrase “the cream is rising to the top” is appropriate in this case, but the most popular of the Jersey Shore gang are making out like bandits in their new contract negotiations. The whole gang refused to work on the show last weekend until they have signed contracts. MTV wants the incredibly successful show to continue into a 3rd season and they are arguing that if the stars are wealthy they won’t be so likeable or appealing. That doesn’t fly with the Jersey kids who want to cash in while they can. Snooki, The Situation, and Pauly D are the most popular of the group. (Note they are seated dead center in The View photo above) They are expected to at least triple their current $10,000 per episode salaries. Snooki and The Situation have already settled on deals they like and Pauly D will soon follow. If the “less important” members of the Jersey cast ask for too much, they might not be invited to return. And if there is a big difference in salaries, how will it affect their relationships? MTV has a lot to consider.
