Donald Trump

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

By the time you read this, Robert F Kennedy Jr. may have already ended his laughable presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. However, we heard that it just might be too much for his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. While Cheryl stood by her man during his never gonna win campaign, she isn’t a fan of Trump and realizes her standing in Hollywood will be jeopardized if her husband endorses him. According to my source, there’s only so much Cheryl can stomach, and she’s been pleading with her husband NOT to endorse Trump. If he does though, my source predicts their marriage will suffer.

Jennifer Lopez made the news with her surprise filing for divorce, catching Ben Affleck and the rest of the world off guard. Their marriage is now seemingly kaput, but Jennifer still plans on buying a house with enough bedrooms for her twins and Ben’s three kids. The children have formed quite the bond with one insider is comparing it to the Brady Bunch. We hear that Jen intends to keep that family unit together even once she’s officially divorced from Ben.

Speaking of Jennifer Lopez, we also heard that IF the marital house that she shared with Ben Affleck sells before she buys a new place, she has an open invitation to stay with Ben’s other ex-wife, Jennifer Garner! The Jens became friends over the past few years (we can only IMAGINE them gossiping about how challenging it was to be married to Ben) and as we all now know their kids are all very close. Jen G. has more than enough room for J.Lo and the twins so don’t be surprised if they wind up as temporary roomies.

Of course the biggest news was the Democratic National Convention, with Vice President Kamala Harris accepting her party’s nomination for President! (We couldn’t be more DELIGHTED at the prospect of her in the White House), but politics aside, we just heard that while she didn’t endorse her at the convention, Taylor Swift is gearing up for a big splashy endorsement video and social media blitz. Taylor and her handlers were livid that Donald Trump posted something on his faltering truth social that claimed Taylor had endorsed him. The AI generated post was the final straw for Taylor and now she’s getting ready to go big for Kamala.

Finally, President Joe Biden was the hero who saved democracy by abandoning his campaign and handing the reigns over to Kamala. Biden hightailed it out of the DNC hours after his riveting speech, and headed to Montecito, California for a vacation. We heard though that it wasn’t all rest and relaxation. Loyal readers will remember WE TOLD YA that Biden planned on relocating to California once his Presidency was over, and during his time in Montecito he privately toured a few available homes. According to our source, a Democratic billionaire donor is planning to buy the property and let Biden and Jill have the exclusive rights to it until they both pass away.

DONALD TRUMP STAFFERS REALLY MISS EX-WIFE IVANA

How LOONY is Donald Trump? He recently called Vice President Kamala Harris beautiful (even comparing her to his former model wife, Melania ) and less than a week later, fired up one of his MAGA rallies by proclaiming HE’S better looking than she is. According to our political insider (who seems to be spot on about almost everything) the Trump campaign is trying to rein Donald in from making such juvenile remarks. Problem is, they’re having a hard time because there’s no one he will listen to now that his ex-wife, Ivana is deceased. As my source reveals, when Donald would go off on wild tangents, a staffer would reach out to Ivana and persuade her to speak with Donald. (Despite their divorce he respected her opinion and actually would heed her advice!) Now that she’s gone, the staffers don’t know WHO to call to talk some sense into him.

WE TOLD YA SO!

We recently revealed that a desperate Donald Trump was looking for angles to get more African-American support, even reaching out to certified lunatic Kanye West. Trump and Kanye have a complicated relationship – who can forget Kanye‘s ill fated campaign for president against Trump? Just as we reported, Trump and Kanye have now joined forces. Kanye recently made an unplanned appearance at a pop-up Trump rally in Beverly Hills. See link below. According to our well placed source, expect to see more of Kanye on Trump‘s campaign trail. Although, we’re not sure if this is going to bring in any voters since Kayne’s popularity and credibility are both diminished.

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.

HOW CELINE DION INSPIRED DONALD TRUMP

We’d have a hard time believing this if it didn’t come from such a solid source, so keep an open mind – and only time will tell if it happens. Donald Trump is having problems securing music to play at his rallies. Among other musicians, Donald was recently called out by none other than Celine Dion for playing one of her songs without her permission. Donald has now decided he doesn’t need the trouble of “obtaining permission,” so instead he’s going to record his OWN song. Yes, you read that right. Donald is recording a tune which will become his new theme song! Always looking to make a buck, Donald also plans to sell the song for downloads. The lyrics are still being worked out, but expect to hear Make America Great Again in the chorus.

DONALD TRUMP WOULD RATHER BOW OUT OF ELECTION THAN LOSE

For Donald Trump, quitting is better than losing, even though he never admits to losing in the first place. Donald’s still promoting false theories that he won the 2020 election but now that Vice President Kamala Harris has shaken things up and uprooted the upcoming presidential election, my secret D.C. source says there’s a plan in place to have Donald bow out of the election. Donald’s popularity has plummeted even more so since he selected JD Vance as his running mate and Donald is facing the reality that he could very well lose BIG in the election. To avoid the humiliation, he’s working on an exit strategy and it involves his upcoming sentencing for his 34 criminal convictions. If Donald is losing in the polls when it comes time for his sentencing, he will have his attorneys make a deal with prosecutors that INCLUDES jail time! That way he can claim he was forced to drop out to deal with his legal troubles, and can claim he was on track to win the election. Remember WHO you’re dealing with here, so although this sounds crazy, it makes perfect sense to ego-driven Donald.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The biggest news of the week was Kamala Harris choosing Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate. We couldn’t wait to share this interesting tidbit. As part of her selection process Kamala challenged each of her potential running mates to a game of Scrabble (she’s a pro at it and very competitive ) and she was most impressed with Tim’s vocabulary (he is a former teacher, after all). While that wasn’t the sole factor in decision making, my Washington D.C. source says it certainly didn’t hurt Tim’s chances of landing the coveted spot.

Blake Shelton made news with his upcoming Las Vegas residency at Caesar’s Palace and here’s what we know. Blake’s better half, Gwen Stefani is not only planning to stay with him in Vegas when he performs, she’s going to be making unannounced appearances with him on stage. Gwen is no stranger to Las Vegas residencys -she completed one herself at Planet Hollywood. Her unpaid and unannounced appearances with Blake are a way to not only support him, but according to my source, keep an EYE on him as well. There’s no trouble in paradise and Gwen intends to keep it that way, as she’s seen what happens in Vegas with those sexy showgirls.

Megan Fox recently made headlines when she appeared pregnant in her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly’s music video for his song, Lonely Road. According to my source, this could soon be a case of art imitating life. I hear that Megan has been confiding to pals that she and MGK are actively trying to have a baby. For what it’s worth Megan has stopped drinking and was recently seen looking at high-end cribs at a furniture store in Los Angeles. Stay tuned – as we expect a pregnancy announcement soon.

Ben Affleck made news when it was revealed he purchased a house all by himself close to the neighborhood he lived in with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. While Garner has moved on and is actually hoping Ben works things out with his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez, we just heard that she has AGREED to help Ben furnish the entire house. According to my source, Ben needs everything from towels to mattresses, TVs to artwork, and he is completely overwhelmed by the idea of furnishing a house. He can’t ask J.Lo to do it, so he reached out to Garner and she reluctantly agreed to help decorate the pad. Don’t read more into this though, as my source insists she wouldn’t take him back if he was the last man on earth, but HE IS the father of her children so she felt obliged to help.

And finally it wouldn’t be a week without another crazy Donald Trump story. 78-year old Donald really went off his rocker this past week when he questioned whether Kamala Harris was actually black, (we know he’s a loony tune but this was even weird for him). We just heard that his daughter Ivanka, who’s desperately trying to distance herself from her father, reached out and scolded him for the misstep. According to my inside source, Ivanka BEGGED her father to keep race out of this election. As my source put it, Ivanka knows she can’t control her dad, but she’s just trying to limit his craziness to protect her own image.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW…

Desperate times call for desperate measures, just ask Donald Trump. We just heard that Donald is freaking out now that Kamala Harris and not President Joe Biden is who he’s running against. Reports just circulated that Trump is looking for black surrogates to take to the airwaves and sing his praises. He’s SO desperate that he even reached out to his former friend, Kanye West, and asked the troubled rapper if he would appear on his behalf. Kayne hasn’t agreed yet, but my source says the attention seeking Kanye will likely do it just to stay in the limelight.

Record-breaking gold Olympic medalist, Simone Biles has big plans once she retires from gymnastics. We just heard that Simone is set to host her own sports related talk show on ESPN and none other than her pal Magic Johnson will be producing! Details are just trickling out, but expect to see Simone’s show in 2025.

It was just announced that Britney Spears inked a deal with Universal Studios to turn her autobiography, The Woman In Me, into a big screen movie. As we previously reported, Britney also wants to turn it into a Broadway musical. We just heard that as part of her seven figure deal Britney has the right to not only approve casting of the movie, but also to launch the musical. A worldwide search is underway for an undiscovered singer with real chops who can portray Britney.

In sad news this week, Taylor Swift was devastated that three innocent girls were stabbed to death in the UK at a dance studio featuring her music. Taylor does not want any publicity for this, but we just heard that she is picking up the tab for all of the funeral arrangements and anonymously made huge contributions to the Go Fund Me pages launched to help the victims’ families.

Jennifer Aniston was photographed this week filming her popular series, The Morning Show. Photographers caught Jen filming one scene where she was splattered in oil and another where she’s having a breakdown. We just heard that Jen has a big surprise for viewers. She persuaded her ex-husband and still good friend Brad Pitt to appear in upcoming episode. Brad hasn’t filmed his spot yet, but it will likely air later in the year or even as the season finale.

Finally, the biggest news of the week is who will current Vice President Kamala Harris pick for her own vice presidential running mate. While our secret political source has a few theories, we do know is that Kamala just filmed various television commercials touting her choice. She was proactive enough to film different variations of the commercial featuring the top three contenders for her running mate. No one knows who she’s going to pick, but Kamala wanted to be ready to blast the airwaves with television commercials once she makes her choice. For what it’s worth, my political source says Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona seems to be the front runner but Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro is a very close second.

DONALD TRUMP IS WORRIED ABOUT FEMALE VOTERS

Our well placed political source just shared this scoop with us. While Donald Trump continues to deny he’s thinking of replacing his vice presidential running mate, JD Vance, that doesn’t explain why he just asked former Republican challenger, Nikki Haley for her personal information to be vetted! Donald has taken the pulse of some of the Republican Party’s biggest donors and the consensus so far it seems to be JD was the wrong choice. As we previously reported, Trump chose Vance at the very last minute at the urging of his son Junior. Publicly he’s supporting Vance, but behind very closed doors, he fears he made the wrong choice and that Nikki could bring more female voters to his side. Trump has about one week to make his decision and as we also reported if he DOES boot Vance out, the excuse will be that it’s due to an “unexpected family issue…”

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

It’s been a very busy week in the political world with the biggest story being the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump – here’s what we know. There was a reason that Donald was heard screaming for his SHOES as the secret service carried him away from the podium moments after the shooting. He wears LIFTS in his shoes to appear taller, and vain Donald didn’t want the press to photograph his shoes with the special inserts in them!

Speaking of Donald, as he accepted the Republican nomination for president on Thursday, he wore a bandage over his ear that was grazed by that bullet and now we just heard that he’s scheduled to undergo minor reconstructive plastic surgery to replace the cartilage that was blown away. Donald has turned to a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon and is planning to have the surgery within the next few weeks. My source says that he could have gotten in earlier, but Donald enjoys the image of himself with the bandage as he feels it makes him appear stoic and macho.

The other big news is the continued backlash against President Joe Biden’s campaign and we just heard this scoop. The biggest Democratic donors were recently informed via a secure conference call that Biden will NOT be the nominee and to expect an announcement before the end of July. This isn’t speculation -it’s a done deal- and the powers that be are currently drafting a graceful way for Biden to bow out.

The Olympics are all over the news since they’re starting on July 27, and my source says that last minute plans are currently underway to get Taylor Swift to perform at either the opening or closing ceremony. Seems that ticket sales to the events haven’t been as great as expected, so they’re hopeful that an appearance by Taylor could somehow change that. She hasn’t signed on yet, as there are a lot of moving parts to navigate, but expect a big announcement if it all works out as the Olympic committee hopes.

Finally, a sad week for celebrity deaths, including Dr. Ruth, Bob Newhart and Shannen Doherty. Speaking of Shannen, her former husband, the handsome Ashley Hamilton just revealed his own cancer diagnosis during a statement he released to the press on her passing. We just heard this though – Ashley is planning to launch a cancer foundation in Shannen’s memory and raise awareness of the disease and hopefully raise funds in the process. He’s leaning on his stepfather, the wealthy but notoriously frugal Rod Stewart to kick things off with a large donation. We will keep you posted if Rod funds the endeavor.
