Ex-husband

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Blake Lively’s lawsuit against her former costar Justin Baldoni was arguably one of the top stories of the week. The duo costarred in the movie, It Ends With Us, and judging from Blake’s lawsuit, filming the movie seemed to be just as unpleasant as the movie’s theme of domestic violence. Here’s what we know. As part of Justin’s defense, he plans on subpoenaing as many of Blake’s former costars as possible, including her Gossip Girl costar turned boyfriend, Penn Badgley. While we are not in ANY way shape or form condoning his alleged behavior toward Blake, we are reporting that Justin hopes that Blake has a history of being difficult to work with, and he plans on proving that in court.

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville made the news for a very unpleasant reason. The reality star posted an unflattering photo of herself on social media, claiming that she was infected with a parasite that was moving around her face. (?) Days later, Brandi made headlines again for posting photos of the Christmas celebration she shared with her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, and his wife LeAnn Rimes. While Brandy‘s social media post hinted at this, here’s what we know. Brandi isn’t in the best financial shape, so LeAnn has offered to pick up the tab for any medical procedures Brandi needs that insurance won’t cover. Although the ex and currents wives of Eddie started off on the wrong foot, through the years they’ve developed a friendship, and that’s why LeAnn is stepping up to the plate to cover the cost of her former love rival’s medical care.

Another week brought us another batch of Sean Diddy Combs lawsuits – once again involving baby oil, drugs, and male libido enhancements. We just heard that Diddy has retained a new set of attorneys, this time not for his criminal defense, but bankruptcy experts! Since the disgraced rapper is being sued for hundreds of millions of dollars – or potentially even billions, he decided from behind bars, he wanted to explore his bankruptcy options. Although nothing has been decided yet, it’s fair to say he’s hemorrhaging money, defending himself against both civil and criminal cases, so that’s why bankruptcy is being considered.

Selena Gomez’s engagement to music maker Benny Blanco continue to be in the news and here’s what we know. Although she’s Catholic, we just heard that Selena is taking classes to convert to Benny’s religion of Judaism and it’s sort of a touchy subject since most members of Selena’s family are practicing Catholics. Nonetheless, Selena has agreed to raise any babies she and Benny have in the Jewish faith.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made headlines when they were spotted over the holidays exchanging Christmas presents with one another. Although the divorce has not been called off, we just heard that there’s a SLIGHT possibility they might reconcile. It certainly is a long-shot, but behind very closed doors they have been meeting with a marriage counselor to see if their union can be saved.

CHRIS APPLETON DOESN’T LIKE BEING SINGLE

White Lotus star Lukas Gage has moved on and his ex-husband, hairdresser Chris Appleton is none too pleased. According to my source, Chris is having a major midlife crisis as he’s no longer satisfied putting curlers in Kim Kardashian’s hair. He rushed into marriage with younger Lukas, hoping for stability, and was heartbroken months later when the marriage ended. Chris’ saving grace was his belief that he would find another boyfriend before Lukas did, but he was devastated to discover Lukas has been seriously dating a discreet international BILLIONAIRE whose family made their fortune in the beauty industry. (The billionaire isn’t out to his family, so we aren’t going to name him) Chris is distressed because Lukas found stability with someone who has more money than Chris could make in a million lifetimes. It’s eating him alive… especially since the guy’s money comes from the beauty industry!

REESE WITHERSPOON AND RYAN PHILLIPPE

Well, this is interesting. According to an inside source, Reese Witherspoon, and her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe MIGHT wind up back together! It’s not impossible. The two are both currently single and have been quietly spending some time together to see if they can rekindle the spark. (Did you know Reese is one of the Richest Women in America?) My source explains that the two married very young and THAT was most likely what did their marriage in. Now that they’re older, they have a different perspective on life and relationships. Nothing is official yet, but remember where you read it if these two DO reconcile!

SCOTT DISICK CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS

It looks like the sometimes petulant Scott Disick (father of Kourtney’s three children) has a very “iffy” future. He’s no longer a big shot in the Kardashian empire. Scott, 38, became accustomed to the good life by having a prime role on the family’s E! series. He was noted for dating beautiful teenage girls and personal angst. But the show has now jumped to Hulu and Scott is just an ex-husband. Kourtney has moved ON, she “married” her boyfriend Travis Barker on Grammy weekend in Las Vegas, and they are planning a family. Scott intensely dislikes Travis and can’t stand to be around him. That’s his dilemma: how can he maintain his relevance on the show?

NEWLYWED PAM ANDERSON INSULTS 4 EX-HUSBANDS IN ONE SWOOP

A few years ago, Pamela Anderson, 53, left her cheating soccer-player boyfriend in France and moved back home to Canada, where she has 6 acres of property on Vancouver Island. Her grandmother had originally owned the land and Pam bought it 25 years ago. (Her parents still live there) There are several homes and a dock that she has been remodeling – with the help of her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, who is also a builder. They were isolated together during the pandemic, fell in love, and got married in December. Pam seems deliriously happy – she describes her new man as “a good guy- the kind I would have met if I’d stayed home.” Then she calmly disparaged her previous 4 husbands (Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, and Jon Peters) by adding “It’s nice to be with a real man who can change a light bulb!”
