HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the biggest stories of the week was Megan Fox’s pregnancy, which as you already know was OLD news to our readers since we had the exclusive scoop months ago. Here’s what we know. Megan hasn’t had the easiest of pregnancies and has suffered severe morning sickness as well as some issues with her breast implants. Also, the pregnancy, while planned, hasn’t eased her fears about her fiance Machine Gun Kelly’s roving eye. My source tattles that while the pregnancy has made their relationship stronger, Megan and MGK are still in relationship counseling to deal with trust issues.

Artem Chigvintsev made headlines for his unexpected return to Dancing with the Stars to commemorate the show’s 500th episode. Here’s what we are hearing. Although Artem was only featured in the audience, behind closed doors, plans are underway to bring him back next season as a professional dancer. Apparently producers figured out what we already heard – that Artem’s estranged wife, Nikki Garcia was more than likely the aggressor in their domestic dispute. This explains why Nikki wasn’t invited to be a part of the special episode even though she previously competed on the show.

Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson were all over the news for rumored marital problems. We are hearing that a divorce is all but inevitable and Jessica and Eric were hoping to keep things friendly and divorce WITHOUT hefty legal fees since they have a solid prenup already in place. Nonetheless, we are also hearing that their keeping it friendly plan has recently run into roadblocks, and both are attorney shopping JUST IN CASE they can’t work it out on their own.

Travis Kelce and his teammate Patrick Mahomes made the news for a scary reason – their mansions were broken into while they were on the road for an away game. Don’t think for a moment that this was lost on Travis’ better half Taylor Swift. We just heard that Taylor has beefed up HER security at all of her properties including her Beverly Hills home. Since her schedule is so public, she wants to make sure her properties are protected from intruders when she’s there and when she’s not.

Leonardo DiCaprio made headlines for his star studded 50th birthday party on November 9, which again was old news to loyal readers since we had this scoop months ago as well. We just heard this update. Now that he’s 50, Leo is fearing he’s losing his boyish looks, so days after his party he met with a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon (Doc’s facelifts start at $150,000) for an initial consultation. I am hearing that Leo isn’t a fan of the aging process (who is?) and is planning to go under the knife before the end of the year or in early 2025. He wants something subtle, as he described it to a pal, like he “had a good night’s sleep”.

Finally, Ariana Grande seemed to be everywhere this week as she continues her around the world publicity tour for Wicked. Here’s what we know. Ariana has many vested interests in having this movie open to HUGE box office numbers. First, she wants to prove herself as an established actress, and second, she gets a sizable BONUS if the movie opens big. My source says Ariana took a deal that paid her less upfront with big bonuses based on the box office – which explains why Ariana is working her tail off to promote the flick. My source say it could wind up being the biggest movie of the year and make Ariana even wealthier than she already is.

OLIVIA CULPO’S FOOTBALL HUBBY CHRISTIAN Mc CAFFREY HAS A SIDE JOB

Former Miss Universe turned television personality and model, Olivia Culpo, and her newlywed husband, San Francisco 49er Christian McCaffrey recently dropped nearly $15 million to buy an estate in Studio City California from George Clooney. Although Christian inked a 2-year contract worth $24 million from the pro football team, Olivia isn’t taking any chances on their cash flow. She knows that in the rough and tumble world of football, a player could be sidelined with an injury and her husband is already suffering from Achilles tendonitis. According to my source, Olivia has introduced her handsome hubby to the world of modeling and he recently landed his first big gig with Movado watches. He’s also up for a GAP/Banana Republic campaign and more. Olivia is using her years of modeling experience and connections to help guide Christian and his blossoming side hustle.

SCIENTOLOGY IS WATCHING LEAH REMINI

It’s been well reported that Scientology can be ruthless in going after their perceived enemies and former member Leah Remini is currently in their line of fire. According to my source, the powers that be at Scientology are now trying to woo Leah’s estranged husband Angelo Pagan! Leah and Angelo recently announced they were divorcing and some Scientologists saw this as an opportunity to get Angelo on THEIR side. Angelo quit the group back in 2013 along with Leah, but now that he and Leah are kaput, the group wants to get dirt and ammunition FROM HIM in their ongoing quest to destroy Leah. My source says THAT is very unlikely, because Angelo was never fond of the organization, and only went along to please Leah.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Emma Roberts made headlines when she remarked that Hollywood women are far more often called out as “nepo babies” than Hollywood men, while appearing on the podcast Table for Two. She pointed out George Clooney as the ultimate nepo baby. Emma had a valid point: although George is talented, his aunt was the iconic Rosemary Clooney which opened doors for him in Hollywood. Although she sort of backtracked her comments, Emma’s aunt, who just happens to also be one of George’s best friends, Julia Roberts, was miffed over the incident. Our source told us that hours after the podcast became news, Julia got on the phone to Emma and gave her quite the earful. We can reveal that Emma, at Julia’s urging, reached out to George and apologized for bringing his name up. Even though Julia was upset, good-natured George just laughed it off.

Alec Baldwin made the news again for all the wrong reasons. This week his attorneys asked the New Mexico judge to dismiss the case against him over firearm evidence. The long shot move is unlikely to fly and here’s what we know. Behind very closed doors Alec’s legal eagles are trying to negotiate a plea deal which will allow him to serve any time in house arrest, pay a substantial fine, and work on legislation banning REAL guns on movie sets. Nothing has been agreed to as of yet, but secret negotiations continue.

Estranged lovebirds Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez created some buzz when they were spotted in the same Beverly Hills office building. Although they arrived and left separately we are hearing that the “meeting” was actually part of a therapy session. Ben arrived first and had an individual session, and then later in the day J.Lo arrived to join him for a joint couples session. Their future together seems to change by the moment, but they want to make sure they give their marriage every chance to survive.

Miranda Lambert’s handsome hubby, former NYC cop Brendan McLoughlin made news and she ain’t happy about it. Brendan was seen getting chummy with other females that weren’t his wife, and he did it at the Nashville bar, Casa Rosa, that Miranda’s OWNS! While Brendan claimed he was just being a good host (he occasionally works there) we are hearing that Miranda was nonetheless irked at his misstep, and put him on notice that he won’t be hanging out in her bar, or any other bar for that matter, unless she’s WITH him!

Finally to end the week on an uplifting note, Selma Blair was spotted all over Paris this week looking great during the countless fashion shows. We know this. Selma’s trip wasn’t all pleasure. The brave MS sufferer also spent a great deal of time meeting with designers to encourage them to include canes in their accessories. Selma relies on a cane to help her with stability issues caused by the MS and she’s made no secret that it’s hard to find anything stylish. As my source puts it, Selma wants to make canes more attractive and fashionable.

Attention Real Housewife of New Jersey fans: this will be your last season of watching the only-in-Jersey antics of Teresa Guidice! No, table-flipping Teresa is NOT leaving the popular show. She is changing her name. According to my Bravo insider, Teresa recently informed producers that starting next season she’s changing her last name from Guidice and taking her current husband Luis’s last name, Ruelas. She’s already started the arduous process of changing her passport, driver’s license, and credit cards, and then beginning next season will be known as Teresa Ruelas professionally.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

After over a month of being in two hospitals, first UCLA and then Cedars Sinai, Kate Beckinsale gave a hint on social media that she was suffering from stomach issues. Here’s what we know: For years, Kate has suffered from severe acid reflux, which gets worse when she’s going through stressful times. The death of her stepfather threw her into a tizzy and her acid reflux was SO bad that she was vomiting after every meal – don’t get this confused with bulimia though. Kate finally seems to have gotten the problem under control, but is now on a very restricted diet to control her body’s overproduction of acid.

Travis Kelce just signed a 20 episode deal with Amazon Prime Video to host the upcoming game show, Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? What he DIDN’T reveal in the announcement is that he’s counting on his girlfriend Taylor Swift to get her famous celebrity friends to appear on his show. Here’s another interesting tidbit: Travis’ deal promises him a huge bonus if he gets Taylor to appear. According to our source, she hasn’t agreed, but she also hasn’t said no.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s estranged husband Ryan Anderson might be making lemonade from the lemons his marriage turned into. Gypsy Rose claimed that she was divorcing Ryan over many things, including his habit of hoarding food. Plus-sized Ryan has been offered an endorsement deal to lose up to 200 pounds using a new diet drug that’s similar to Ozempic, and hitting the market soon. Our source says that Ryan has wanted to slim down for a while and is motivated by the upcoming divorce to get in the best shape of his life.

Valerie Bertinelli made the news over her new romance with East Coast based writer Mike Goodnough. After hinting about the romance for weeks, Valerie and Mike just went public. While they’re claiming it will be a long distance relationship since he lives on the East Coast and she lives in Malibu, we are hearing that Valerie is already looking at property in Manhattan. She’s planning to spend a lot of time in the New York area now that she’s dating Mike, and wants a condo on the Upper West Side.

Finally, one last interesting Donald Trump tidbit. His criminal trial started in New York City this week and my source is revealing that his attorneys aren’t so thrilled about the thought of having every lunch with Donald. Here’s why: It’s customary for attorneys and their clients to have lunch together during courtroom breaks, but paranoid Donald is so afraid that someone will poison him, that he insists on only eating fast food for lunch. While his attorneys realize they need to spend this time with him going over the trial, some of them have started packing their own lunches so they don’t have to subject themselves to Donald’s daily doses of fast food.

GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD: YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR MOM LOOK ALIKE!

Are we CRAZY or does Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s HUSBAND bear a striking and not-so-coincidental resemblance to her MOTHER? These two photos have been circulating in the news and when we saw them side by side we were shocked. While Gypsy was in prison for murdering her sick (Munchausen by proxy) mother Dee Dee, her future husband, Ryan Anderson, wrote her a supportive letter and they started a romance. In 2022 they were married at the prison.Was Gypsy attracted to Ryan because he looked eerily familiar?

REESE WITHERSPOON’S DIVORCE IS NO SURPRISE TO FRIENDS

What went wrong? Reese Witherspoon and her husband Jim Toth made headlines when they announced they were divorcing after 11 years of marriage, but a friend of the couple reveals this was no surprise to their inner circle. Nothing nefarious was going on – the insider says this was just a case of Reese wanting MORE and Jim wanting LESS- of Hollywood! Reese’s career is red hot as both an actress AND a producer, thanks to Big Little Lies and The Morning Show. She’s far busier now than when she first met Jim. For his part, Jim’s career as an agent is no longer his top priority and he wanted to enjoy his golden years away from Hollywood. Friends have watched Reese and Jim growing apart for a few years and the couple finally admitted they just want different things.

BETTE MIDLER’S LIPS ARE NOT SEALED

Bette Midler and her husband Martin von Haselberg are separating, but only for the sake of his art. According to an insider, their marriage is rock solid, but Martin (who is a performance artist) demands complete silence when he’s working on his art and -let’s face it – chatterbox Bette is anything but quiet. With Bette’s approval, Martin has been looking for a pied a terre in West Hollywood, California, (not far from their LA home) so he can escape his noisy domicile and work on his art, and occasionally sleep there.

ROBIN WRIGHT’S DOG IS KEEPING UP THE PACE

Robin Wright and her comparatively new and younger husband (married summer of 2018) Clement Giraudet, were rarely seen out together until Covid-19 arrived, and now they are active and outside every day. Clement is the VIP relations manager for Saint Laurent and since celebrities have stopped borrowing designer clothes for the duration, Clement has a lot of free time. He’s spending it exercising outdoors with Robin. They ride bikes, walk their dog, and stroll around the west side daily – without benefit of masks or gloves. We wonder if Robin is as exhausted as their dog appears to be in this photo from yesterday…
