ELON MUSK IS DREAMING OF A TESLA MOTORCADE

Don’t think for one second that Elon Musk is being altruistic and not self-serving with his newfound friendship with Donald Trump. My astute political source reveals Elon is trying to get Trump to replace his presidential motorcade with his Teslas! Elon is working on persuading Donald that his Cybertrucks are safer and make a bolder statement than anything in the current motorcade. He’s already presented him with a sketch for a custom built Cybertruck that is dripping with luxurious features unseen in regular Teslas. So far Donald, who loves gas guzzlers, isn’t sold on the idea of an electric vehicle, but Elon isn’t giving up, so don’t be too surprised if it happens.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Britney Spears made headlines for her social media posts claiming she was moving to Mexico this week. Here’s what we know. Britney IS moving because she’s not thrilled living in her Calabasas, California home. But not to Mexico. Brit claims her current home has too many bad memories since lived there while under a conservatorship. She has always loved Mexico- specifically Cabo San Lucas- and while she did head there shortly after posting her “moving to Mexico” remarks, my source says she’s actually moving to Beverly Hills. Most likely Mulholland Estates, the gated community with breathtaking views of Los Angeles where she recently checked out a few homes. As for her wacky social media post, my source says that it’s just Britney’s odd sense of humor.

One of the biggest stories of the week has nothing to do with Hollywood or famous people but nonetheless there is a celebrity twist. UnitedHealth’s CEO, Brian Thompson was gunned down on the streets of Manhattan on December 4 and there are many unanswered questions. While we don’t know anything about this tragedy, we DO know this… Jeff Bezos IMMEDIATELY beefed up his security hours after the attack. Many are speculating the killing was in retaliation for someone being denied an insurance claim and Jeff, who launched Amazon, feared he could easily be the target of a disgruntled Amazon customer or former employee. And he’s not the ONLY one beefing up security. We also heard Elon Musk just added more muscle to his security team.

A pregnant Gisele Bundchen made the news when photos of her and her baby daddy, Joaquim Valente frolicking on the beach in Costa Rica. We just heard that the couple did more than vacation during their visit – they also toured beachfront homes for sale. Since Gisele is the one with far more money, she wants to purchase a vacation home with Joaquim in the affordable Central American country, so they will have a place together. As of now, Joaquim is living at Gisele’s properties in Miami and Brazil (both multimillion dollar properties that the fitness instructor couldn’t afford on his salary.) Gisele feels it will be healthier for their relationship if they own a home together within his means, and gorgeous properties in Costa Rica can be bought for far,far less than most other places, which is why she’s looking to put some roots down there.

Speaking of real estate, Meghan Markle made headlines this week when she was photographed at an event in Beverly Hills without her husband, Prince Harry. As we previously reported there’s no trouble in paradise. But we do know this. During her time in the 90210 zip code, Meghan toured a few condominiums as she and her Prince are still looking for a place in the Los Angeles area. Again, another scoop we had first. Meghan and Harry are keeping their estate in Montecito but still want a place to hang their hats (or in this case crowns) in Hollywood. I hear that Meg was particularly fond of the residences at the Four Seasons Hotel and plans to tour them again, this time with Harry.

Beyoncé made the news when Billboard announced her and NOT Taylor Swift as “the biggest popstar of this century.” Here’s what we know. It was actually Taylor who suggested Beyoncé get the top honor. My source says that Taylor wants to take some time away from her career now that her Eras tour is wrapping up. She had a whirlwind 12 months from being named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, winning practically every major music award and of course, her record-breaking movie of her tour. She’s hoping to lie low for the next year or two and concentrate on getting married and starting a family with Travis Kelce. She knew she was all but a shoo-in for the Billboard honor so she had her people reach out and tell them she preferred they put the spotlight on someone else, suggesting Beyoncé.

Donald Trump dominated headlines with his controversial cabinet picks while his vice-president JD Vance has hardly been seen or heard. Here’s what we know. Attention loving Trump has instructed Vance to stay in the background and to get his permission before granting any interviews. My source says Donald loves the attention his cabinet picks are generating and even though some of them might not get approved by the Senate, he doesn’t care as long as he’s the top story. He doesn’t want the more articulate and educated Vance to overshadow him, so until further notice, he’s to stay in the background.

DONALD TRUMP IS PRESSURING ELON MUSK TO PAY UP AND JOIN MAR-A-LAGO

Although we are taking a self imposed sabbatical from political gossip (it’s mentally exhausting) don’t think for a moment we are going to stop dishing about Donald Trump. We certainly couldn’t resist retelling this tale. Donald’s been spending most of his time with new best friend Elon Musk, but it’s not only politics and government they’re blabbing about. According to my source, Donald has been pressuring the wealthiest man in the world to pony up big bucks and join his private club, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. Here’s the kicker. Even though Donald owns the club, Elon is presented with a bill for every item he consumes! In October Trump raised the membership price to a million dollars! (Implying that new ultra-wealthy members will be able to give the President advice or maybe, get an ambassadorship.) Is that ethical? Just asking… For now, Elon has resisted joining, but Trump has implied if he doesn’t soon, he won’t be allowed to hang out there with him.

ELON MUSK WANTS TO BE KING OF ALL MEDIA

Apparently being one of the richest men in the world isn’t enough for Elon Musk – he also wants to be a media mogul. According to my source, Elon is hoping to expand his empire and buy OnlyFans, the adult subscription website that everyone and their sister seems to be on these days. Elon’s site X has been accused of COMPETING with OnlyFans recently by not removing material in questionable taste. After his takeover of Twitter, which he quickly rebranded as X, Elon is now telling pals that taking over OnlyFans seems like a logical fit for his growing media empire.

IS ELON MUSK TRICKIER THAN WE THOUGHT?

File this under “things that make you go hmmm…” According to our very well-placed source, Elon Musk’s gushing over Donald Trump has EVERYTHING to do with his company Tesla, and NOTHING to do with genuine feelings. Our source insists that Elon thinks Trump is pretty much a moron, but realized it would be best to keep his friends close and his enemies closer. Donald was in the habit of ranting and raving about the evils of electric cars, but as soon as Elon endorsed him, all of that talk suddenly stopped. Our source explains that Elon is outsmarting Trump by appealing to his ego to get him to stop badmouthing electric cars. Behind closed doors, Elon is allegedly singing a COMPLETELY different tune about Trump and his politics – and let’s just say it’s anything but flattering…

ELON MUSK: NOT AS POPULAR AS HE USED TO BE

Sure he’s sometimes the wealthiest man in the world, but Elon Musk seems to have committed social suicide by endorsing Donald Trump. The only thing awkward Elon seems to love more than money is social climbing, but thanks to his unpopular endorsement of the questionable former president, Elon is suddenly not on the coveted guest lists for the upcoming celebrity Halloween parties. According to my source, Elon had his people inquire why he hasn’t received any invitations, and the response was pretty consistent, with Hollywood A-listers telling him to celebrate Halloween with his former nemesis turned best buddy, Donald Trump. OUCH!

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.

RON DESANTIS TWITTER FIASCO: ACCIDENT OR SABOTAGE?

Another political piece of gossip that’s just too juicy not to share! Was it sabotage? That’s what some insiders working on Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign are wondering after his disastrous kick-off on Twitter. Ron teamed up with Twitter boss Elon Musk to officially announce his run for the White House, but his live stream was delayed and riddled with glitches. It was SO bad that it’s already being labeled the most disastrous presidential campaign launch in history! Some connected to the campaign are wondering if Elon sabotaged the stream to make Ron look like a bumbling idiot. Just hours after the debacle campaign, insiders began to question whether Elon did this because he doesn’t support Ron’s fight with Disney or his ridiculous ban on books. These speculations will likely remain just that, but for now the campaign is steering clear of any more Twitter streams.

ELON MUSK: SUPERHERO OR SUPERVILLAIN?

We’re not sure what to be most surprised about: the fact that Elon Musk went to the Abracadabra store in the Flatiron district in NYC and bought an elaborate costume called The Devil’s Champion Leather Armor set for $7500 to wear to Heidi Klum’s Halloween party, OR the fact that he went to the party with his MOTHER, Maye Musk. The costume had odd symbols on it (including an upside down cross) and online observers (trolls?) are already making negative predictions and remarks about Musk’s supposedly dark character and linking everything to Twitter. We happen to think he’s fascinating and would not mind getting to know him…

JEFF BEZOS: LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE

Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos looked mighty happy here as he and his cute girlfriend Lauren Sanchez left NY restaurant Cipriani after lunch. His space trip with William Shatner was a huge success and cheered him up after unpleasant communications from his space rival Elon Musk. (Is the race to space all about machismo?) NASA awarded a 2.9 billion dollar contract to Musk, and via Twitter, he sent Bezos a silver “2nd place” emoji. Bezos promptly sued NASA, insisting the contract was unfairly awarded to Musk. We think William Shatner made a very important observation – that outer space is utter blackness and when he looked down at earth it was bright and beautiful. Let’s appreciate and take care of what we have…
