Divorce

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the biggest stories of the week was Megan Fox’s pregnancy, which as you already know was OLD news to our readers since we had the exclusive scoop months ago. Here’s what we know. Megan hasn’t had the easiest of pregnancies and has suffered severe morning sickness as well as some issues with her breast implants. Also, the pregnancy, while planned, hasn’t eased her fears about her fiance Machine Gun Kelly’s roving eye. My source tattles that while the pregnancy has made their relationship stronger, Megan and MGK are still in relationship counseling to deal with trust issues.

Artem Chigvintsev made headlines for his unexpected return to Dancing with the Stars to commemorate the show’s 500th episode. Here’s what we are hearing. Although Artem was only featured in the audience, behind closed doors, plans are underway to bring him back next season as a professional dancer. Apparently producers figured out what we already heard – that Artem’s estranged wife, Nikki Garcia was more than likely the aggressor in their domestic dispute. This explains why Nikki wasn’t invited to be a part of the special episode even though she previously competed on the show.

Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson were all over the news for rumored marital problems. We are hearing that a divorce is all but inevitable and Jessica and Eric were hoping to keep things friendly and divorce WITHOUT hefty legal fees since they have a solid prenup already in place. Nonetheless, we are also hearing that their keeping it friendly plan has recently run into roadblocks, and both are attorney shopping JUST IN CASE they can’t work it out on their own.

Travis Kelce and his teammate Patrick Mahomes made the news for a scary reason – their mansions were broken into while they were on the road for an away game. Don’t think for a moment that this was lost on Travis’ better half Taylor Swift. We just heard that Taylor has beefed up HER security at all of her properties including her Beverly Hills home. Since her schedule is so public, she wants to make sure her properties are protected from intruders when she’s there and when she’s not.

Leonardo DiCaprio made headlines for his star studded 50th birthday party on November 9, which again was old news to loyal readers since we had this scoop months ago as well. We just heard this update. Now that he’s 50, Leo is fearing he’s losing his boyish looks, so days after his party he met with a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon (Doc’s facelifts start at $150,000) for an initial consultation. I am hearing that Leo isn’t a fan of the aging process (who is?) and is planning to go under the knife before the end of the year or in early 2025. He wants something subtle, as he described it to a pal, like he “had a good night’s sleep”.

Finally, Ariana Grande seemed to be everywhere this week as she continues her around the world publicity tour for Wicked. Here’s what we know. Ariana has many vested interests in having this movie open to HUGE box office numbers. First, she wants to prove herself as an established actress, and second, she gets a sizable BONUS if the movie opens big. My source says Ariana took a deal that paid her less upfront with big bonuses based on the box office – which explains why Ariana is working her tail off to promote the flick. My source say it could wind up being the biggest movie of the year and make Ariana even wealthier than she already is.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Kanye West made the news because he’s decided to relocate to Tokyo, Japan. Here’s what we know. We heard about this months ago, but never wrote it because it seemed a little too far-fetched. We just heard Kanye is now battling Kim secretly for joint custody because he wants his kids to spend time in Japan and learn how to speak Japanese. Kim’s against the idea, so their lawyers are hashing it out.

Hurricane Milton was the story of the week as the tragedy devastated much of Florida. Florida native Ariana Grande still has relatives and home on the east side of the state which wasn’t nearly as affected, nonetheless we just heard she wrote $1 million check to the relief efforts. She is hoping to keep her generosity private – but our source couldn’t help telling us…

Speaking of Hurricane Milton, habitual liar Donald Trump spread lie after lie about the disaster, including that FEMA ran out of money to help the victims. We just heard his wife Melania told him in no uncertain terms to cut out the rhetoric when it comes to this tragedy. Melania is getting fed up with her husband and his nonstop lies. She recently hinted to a friend that if Donald loses the election, she’s likely to file for divorce

Taylor Swift was in the news for two reasons. First after a two week hiatus she attended her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s game, and second, she wrote a check for $5 million for Milton‘s relief efforts. We just heard though that’s only the tip of the iceberg for Taylor’s generosity. Once the dust settles in Florida, she’s planning a charity concert which will be streamed and all proceeds will go towards rebuilding the ravished cities. My source predicts Taylor could raise over $100 million!

And finally, Princess Kate Middleton made the news for one of her first public appearances since finishing her health treatments. We just heard that not only is Kate feeling better, but she’s secretly planning a royal visit to USA if Kamala Harris wins the presidential election. While the working royal can’t endorse a political candidate, we heard that she’s a huge fan of Kamala and wants to attend the inauguration if she’s elected.

CHERYL HINES TO HUBBY RFK JR : IT’S TRUMP OR ME!

Our discreet source just whispered this update into our ear: Cheryl Hines is willing to give her cheating husband, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., ONE last chance to save their marriage – but he’s going to have to agree to HER terms. According to my insider, Cheryl still loves her husband despite his countless flaws, but as we already told you, she’s ready to pull the plug on the marriage unless Bobby agrees to Cheryl’s latest demand – he needs to RETRACT his endorsement of Donald Trump and encourage his followers to vote for Kamala Harris! As my source explains it, Cheryl had a confrontation with Bobby, telling him she has already contacted a divorce attorney and was ready to file – BUT she gave him one last chance to prove to her that SHE is his priority, by doing what she asked. She gave him a few days to think it over, so unless something drastically changes, expect Kennedy to dump Trump or get served with divorce papers.

LEAH REMINI’S DIVORCE MIGHT NOT BE AS FRIENDLY AS SHE HOPED

After 21 years of marriage, Leah Remini’s divorce from estranged husband, Angelo Pagan, might not be as friendly as the couple originally proclaimed. It’s no surprise that Leah is the bigger breadwinner in the marriage, and she doesn’t seem to want to part with too much of her hard-earned cash in the divorce. Since the couple are no longer living together, Leah decided to get Angelo his own place, but a real estate source reveals that she’s looking for a modest two bedroom condo in the Los Angeles Valley, which is a far cry from the $10 million mansion they just sold in Studio City, California. My source says Angelo is starting to feel like he’s getting the short end of the stick and was expecting to end up in a house, not a condo, so the split MIGHT soon become contentious.

JENNIFER LOPEZ: IT’S A SMALL WORLD

If you don’t believe Hollywood is a very small place, your opinion might change after you read this item. Jennifer Lopez has been looking for a house to buy since she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. She often brings her mother along (above) to look at homes with her. It so happens, one of the houses she’s interested in belongs to one of Ben’s ex-girlfriends, Gwyneth Paltrow! The Goop founder is selling her $30 million Brentwood estate since she moved to Montecito. And get this… Gwyneth’s house is just a few steps away from the home Ben is now renting. As we told you, Hollywood is a small place – so if J.Lo buys Gwen’s house, she’ll be neighbors with Ben.

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.

THE GOLDEN BACHELOR IS GETTING MORE THAN A DIVORCE

The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and his newlywed bride turned ex-wife Theresa Nist just finalized their divorce after a whirlwind courtship ending in a televised wedding. The ill-fated breakup took place in long distance (he lives in Indiana and she in New Jersey) and even though their divorce is complete, my source reveals that Theresa is now trying to ANNUL the marriage. It’s a lengthy and more complicated process, but long story short, Theresa just wants to put the entire fiasco behind her. There’s likely more to THIS split than meets the eye…

BRAD AND ANGELINA: BOTH IN THERAPY

Their marriage has been over for years, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still in couples therapy. According to my inside source, Brad and Angie meet SEPARATELY with a family therapist near Santa Barbara to help them co-parent -especially with their youngest, 15-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox. The divorced duo originally were ORDERED into therapy by the courts, but they both continued the sessions on their own after the initial court order expired. While legal issues from their divorce seem to multiply, they’re now both hoping to shield their youngest kids from the drama.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Alec Baldwin recently filed a motion to dismiss the charges he’s facing in the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but here’s what we know. Behind closed doors Alec’s legal team is hoping to negotiate a plea deal involving no jail time, a clear record, community service and a HUGE donation. Alec is concerned that a jury found armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty in the case, so he’s secretly done a 180 and instructed his high-priced lawyers to make a deal!

Last Sunday Billie Eilish named dropped her former choir teacher, Mandy Bringham, when she won her second Oscar for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For, from the Barbie movie. Other media outlets tracked down the teacher but only WE will tell you that Billie personally reached out to Mandy days after the historic win, and the two are getting together in the near future. Our source says Billie plans to offer Mandy a job on her team as, what else, a vocal coach.

For reality TV fans, the buzz this week was the final reunion episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the current state of OG star, Kyle Richard’s marriage to estranged husband Maurico Umansky. We can tell you this tidbit: Despite Kyle not revealing many deets on the reunion, our well placed source says that marriage is kaput and a very friendly divorce is being negotiated. If there’s any divorce drama it will only be manufactured for next season of RHOBH, but the soon-to-be exes have already decided who gets what and may plan to live together as friends for a bit until their youngest daughter Portia turns 18 in two years.

Meghan Markle made headlines when she debuted a new website which she eventually will use to hawk merchandise. Way back in November, we told you that Meghan and Harry were looking at wineries to sell their own wine and this latest venture goes along with that. Meghan hopes to be the next Martha Stewart and build an empire based around her kitchen skills, including her own wine as well as olive oils, jams, cookbooks, etc. Our source adds this tidbit you will only read here – Meghan’s Montecito neighbor and good pal Oprah Winfrey is an angel investor in the project.

DONALD TRUMP WANTS MARLA MAPLES TO SUPPORT HIS CAMPAIGN

We were the FIRST to tell you Melania Trump renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with her husband Donald and now we will be the FIRST to tell you that Donald’s ex-wife Marla Maples is renegotiating their divorce settlement. Last June we reported that Donald was trying to get Marla to join him on the campaign trail, hoping to give the appearance that’s he’s not a misogynistic serial cheater. Well Donald might get his wish because as part of their divorce settlement Marla agreed to a strict NDA, so she used that as an excuse not to say anything (good or bad) about him in public. Donald’s agreed to cancel the NDA and renegotiate her somewhat measly settlement. (measly since he claims to be a billionaire) Talks are happening now and if they come to terms, expect to see Marla gushing over Donald in the coming months.
