Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres made news with her new Netflix standup comedy special where she eats crow and fesses up to not always being “nice.” We just heard there’s a reason for her about-face. Ellen caught wind that one of her former staffers was shopping around a tell all book, promising to reveal never before heard accusations of how nasty Ellen’s behavior WAS at times. That’s one reason she owned up to sometimes being less than kind, to say the least.

Sean Diddy Combs continued to dominate the headlines this week as more civil lawsuits have been filed against him – the latest one accusing him of rape. We are hearing though that the most SALACIOUS lawsuit is still on the way and it involves a MAJOR celebrity. A back room secret settlement deal was in the works but fell apart once Diddy was arrested so now then most shocking of all lawsuits is likely to be filed shortly unless the settlement can be revived.

Back on September 6 we told you that Nikki Bella was the aggressor in her domestic violence claim against her husband, dancer Artem Chigvinstev, and lo and behold, THAT was likely the reason charges against Artem weren’t filed. We just heard that Artem intends to play hardball and go after Nikki for spousal support and joint custody – he is going to claim he sacrificed his career in Hollywood since she insisted on moving to Napa, California. But wait, there might be hope. Another insider says that the couple might give their marriage another chance as some members of their inner circle are encouraging them to once again go back to marriage counseling.

Speaking of tell-alls, we just heard this scoop. Richard Simmons’ former housekeeper and longtime confidant, Teresa Reveles is threatening to write a tell all and reveal all of Richard’s intimate secrets, including his rumored penchant for cross dressing and his sexuality! Teresa feels Richard’s surviving family, including his brother Lenny, are treating her unfairly considering she lived with Richard and took care of him for almost 40 years. Let’s just say this housekeeper knows where the bodies are buried and she has more than a dustpan to dig them air. Sign us up for a copy of this book if she does decide to tell all.

Finally, professional liar Donald Trump had the audacity to question his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris’ cognitive skills. The 78-year-old nutjob, who seems to be confused more often than not, just opened up a can of worms by going after Kamala’s mental acumen. We just heard that a group of MEGA WEALTHY donors are teaming up to challenge Trump to take a cognitive test against Kamala and if beats her they will give him TENS of MILLIONS of DOLLARS! The group includes Mark Cuban among others. Let’s face it, the odds of Trump beating Kamala in a cognitive test are about the same as he beating her in a beauty contest. IMPOSSIBLE.
