STEVE KERR: NEXT GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA?

We rarely gossip about professional athletes or coaches, but this item also has political importance and is TOO good not to share. Steve Kerr, the coach of basketball’s Golden State Warriors as well as the Olympic’s Team USA, was a surprise -and excellent- speaker at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 19. According to my inside source there was a reason – he’s being wooed to run for Governor of California when current governor, Gavin Newsom is termed out. Remember where you read this, as an exploratory committee is already in place, grooming Steve to run for governor, which is EXACTLY why he was tapped to speak at the convention.

FRAN DRESCHER: CALIFORNIA’S NEXT GOVERNOR?

Fran Drescher has been bitten by the political bug. Fran is getting kudos from practically all of Hollywood for negotiating a record breaking billion dollar plus deal as the SAG-AFTRA union president, and now she’s aspiring to even bigger things – maybe as the Governor of California! Fran is a fan of California’s current governor Gavin Newsom, but he’s termed out in 2027 and she would LOVE to be his replacement. She’s riding high since negotiating the end of the Hollywood strike and now she’s being encouraged to run for governor. My source says that although Fran leans more Democratic, she’s a free thinker who was against vaccine mandates so she appeals to both the liberals and conservatives. She’s got my vote…

MEGHAN HAS POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS FOR PRINCE HARRY

Can you imagine Prince Harry as Governor of California?  WE can’t, but Meghan Markle can! Keep in mind California’s governor Gavin Newsom won’t be able to run for re-election in 2026 due to term limits. So the job will be up for grabs. Aspiring Meghan feels Harry has what it takes to make it in US politics. Although he could never become president (because he wasn’t born here) there’s nothing stopping him from running for other offices – once he officially becomes a US CITIZEN as opposed to a permanent resident. According to our source, Harry has already started the process to obtain DUAL citizenship. He’ll keep his UK passport, but also hold an American one. After he achieves THAT goal, Meghan intends to encourage his run for SOME SORT of political office…

THE LATEST ON DISNEY VS FLORIDA GOVERNOR DE SANTIS

We sorta told you so! You read here that Disney was so fed up with the antics of Governor Ron DeSantis that it was quietly appraising the land that hosts and surrounds Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Well NO surprise to OUR readers that Disney CEO Bob Iger just dropped a major confirmation to our scoop. Bob was quoted as “questioning” whether the Governor APPRECIATED the jobs and $17 BILLION DOLLARS that Disney brings into the state of Florida each year. A well placed insider insists that while Disney is currently committed to staying in Florida, it IS thinking about showing DeSantis just how crucial they are to the state. While it’s still in the planning stages, one idea is to temporarily close the park for “renovations” and completely shut down all revenue into Florida. It’s not approved yet, but it’s possible if Ron keeps acting up. The nuclear option of pulling out of Florida remains on the table…

RICKY MARTIN LEADS THE REBELLION

Actually Ricky Martin is trying to keep the demonstration against the governor of Puerto Rico peaceful, but the crowd is getting more aggressive. Chats the governor had with his associates were leaked and they were shockingly vulgar, misogynistic, homophobic and revealed them to be despicable people. Everyone involved in the scandal resigned except the governor, and the voters want him OUT. Ricky is setting a good example for his twins…

ELLEN DEGENERES FOR GOVERNOR? IT COULD HAPPEN!

Ellen DeGeneres is thinking about following in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s footsteps – straight into the Governor’s mansion. Openly gay Ellen has been examining her life and successful career and wants to enter politics in the future. She’s in her fifties now and wants to make an impact on the world beyond her talk show. She’s one of the most successful talk show hosts of all time and has a huge following, which can’t hurt when she runs for office. But it won’t happen too soon – she probably won’t throw her hat into the ring until 2018.

Arnold Schwarzenegger enjoys walking around without those bodyguards that accompanied him everywhere up until yesterday, but there’s a downside.

Soon to be ex-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was having lunch with some buddies at Barneys and one guy teased him about having a bodyguard standing at a discreet distance. Arnold laughed and admitted he was thrilled because once he has finished being governor he can finally get rid of the bodyguard. He said he doesn’t need the guy and anyway “I’m tougher than he is!”

DOES ZSA ZSA KNOW SHE IS FUNDING PRINCE FREDERIC’S RUN FOR GOVERNOR?

Does housebound Zsa Zsa Gabor know WHAT her husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt is spending her money on? We didn’t realize he had a fancy horse drawn carriage in the West Hollywood Gay Parade and a huge banner saying PRINCE FOR GOVERNOR.COM. Mr Gabor, who declared himself an independent candidate for Governor of California, wore a lavish military outfit with fringed epaulets and riding boots and, best of all, he was smoking a huge smelly cigar! He is undoubtedly distraught since his favorite Starbucks in West Hollywood banned smoking to 20 feet from the door.
