JENNIFER LOPEZ: WHY SHE DID IT

Jennifer Lopez shocked the world when she abruptly canceled her soon-to-start summer tour to promote her new album. According to my source, although ticket sales were tepid, the real reason she nixed the tour is to save her marriage to Ben Affleck. Workhorse Jen isn’t about to give up her career however, so she’s looking for something that can keep her firmly planted in LA. (making movies and touring doesn’t accommodate that) But she DOES have an idea: My source revealed that J.Lo is now contemplating joining the talk show circuit, most likely with a syndicated daytime show. That way she can film a few days a week, and still have plenty of time to spend with Ben.

WE TOLD YA SO!

Well it only took them 8 days, but People Magazine just reported OUR May 20th scoop on Jennifer Garner. We were the first to tell you that Jen was hoping that her ex-husband Ben Affleck can save his marriage to his current wife, Jennifer Lopez. Mostly because J.Lo keeps Ben committed to a healthy non-alcoholic lifestyle. We also added the tidbit that Garner was actively playing the role of an unofficial marriage counselor doing everything in her power to ensure they stay together. See the link below of the item people ran today. Once again, you know where to turn to for the best Hollywood scoops!

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

If Diddy thinks his public apology indirectly addressed to his former girlfriend Cassie is going to be enough to resolve his problems, he’s sorely mistaken. While the statute of limitations has expired on that case, here’s what we know: The FBI has been canvassing across the nation contacting people who might have been secretly filmed in compromising positions at one of Diddy’s parties. They’re leaving cards outside of residences when they can’t make contact, and have over 1000 people as potential victims!

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue to dominate the headlines as speculation about the current state of their marriage continues. Although we updated you last week, here’s the latest. The couple recently spent a night together at their Beverly Hills home after Ben snuck in to avoid the paparazzi. My source insists the couple are working through this rough spot and actually might wind up living in separate residences but staying married as a way to make their relationship work. It seems they work better when they’re not cohabitating.

Donald Trump’s criminal trial is now in the hands of the jury and here’s the latest. Donald did his best to convince his wife Melania to make even a brief appearance at the trial, with my source saying he offered her a pile of cash. (remember this is a TRANSACTIONAL relationship and not a true love story) Despite the lucrative offer, Melania refused to attend the trial, but we are hearing she might join Donald when the verdict is announced if the offer is tempting enough.

Graceland was almost foreclosed on and now the FBI is involved in the case, as some hanky panky is suspected. We are hearing that members of the Elvis Presley dynasty suspect that Scientology was somehow involved in the plot to take over the iconic tourist attraction. Remember, Lisa Marie Presley distanced herself from the controversial group. While this is just hearsay, my source says that is one of the angles being currently looked into.

Finally, Kim Kardashian made headlines when she met with Gypsy Rose Blanchard to discuss prison reform – but we just heard that’s only half of the story. As we previously reported, Gypsy wants to pursue a career in Hollywood and now Kim’s mom and momager, Kris Jenner, wants to manage Gypsy’s blossoming career. Our source says a reality show is in the works and Kim and Kris are producing.

JENNIFER GARNER IS J.LO AND BEN’S MARRIAGE COUNSELOR

Jennifer Lopez has an unexpected ally during her marriage crisis to Ben Affleck – his ex-wife Jennifer Garner! While J.Lo and Ben are working to figure out their future, an insider reveals Garner has offered her support to BOTH, encouraging them to make their marriage work. The former Alias actress has been divorced from Ben since 2018, (she’s happily dating businessman John Miller) so she KNOWS what it’s like to be married to Ben. She also knows Lopez has been a positive factor in his life, and the life of the kids. Garner’s biggest fear is that Ben will fall off the wagon and spiral out of control again if his marriage to Lopez disintegrates, so she’s actively encouraging them to stick it out.

HERE’S MORE OF WHAT WE KNOW

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez dominated the headlines this week as rumors swirl that their marriage is dunzo.  Here’s what we know.  The couple are going through a rough patch,mostly due to their different spending habits.  SHE likes like live large, but he’s more frugal and finds her excessive spending a turn-off.  In J. Lo’s defense, she is worth more than Ben, so she understandably finds it insulting that he would tell her how to spend HER money. My source says the one thing the both of them have in common is they’re quick to react, BUT do love one another, so while anything is possible, it’s most likely their marriage will stay intact, considering they are in counseling.

Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker didn’t win any female or gay fans this week thanks to a commencement address where he basically voiced his controversial opinions against the LGTBQ community and women’s rights.  Making it worse he quoted Taylor Swift in the address, referring to her as his teammate Travis Kelce’s girlfriend.  Here’s what we know.  Taylor was PISSED that he dared say her name in such a hate filled speech and she told Travis under no circumstances will she ever be photographed anywhere near him.  She also made it be known to the powers that be on the team that she doesn’t feel comfortable publicly supporting the team if it has a misogynistic homophobe in its ranks.  My NFL source predicts Harrison will be traded, but the question is, who will want him?

Justin and Hailey Bieber made headlines when they announced they’re expecting their first child together. They kept the news a secret from family and closest friends, but now we’re hearing that Justin has been taking parenting classes with a therapist who visits his home three times a week to help him cope with the demands of being a first time dad. My source says he’s determined to do everything RIGHT and get his unpredictable mood swings under control before the baby arrives.

The Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That recently started filming its third season in New York City and we can tell you that Kim Cattrall will definitely appear again in another cameo and this time she will share the screen with a cast member -but it won’t be Sarah Jessica Parker.  We are hearing that Kim’s character Samantha Jones is living in Europe and will be visited by one of the cast, and the scene will take place there.  Producers haven’t decided if it’s going to be Cynthia Nixon or Kristen Davis, but it’s going to happen.

And as usual, what’s a week without a piece of Donald Trump gossip! Donald’s youngest son, Barron made headlines when he was announced to be a delegate at the upcoming Republican national convention, only to have his mom Melania publicly decline the invitation the next day, citing a “scheduling conflict.” This makes no sense, since Barron would be expected to be at the convention when his father is nominated to be president, anyway.  We heard that Donald actually gave the okay to announce Barron as a delegate, but Melania immediately nixed it. My well-placed source says that it was a screaming match unlike any other, as Melania threatened to boycott the convention herself if Donald forced the issue of having Barron as a delegate. Needless to say she won.

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS HOPPING ON THE GOOP BANDWAGON

Jennifer Lopez wants to turn her rekindled romance with her husband, Ben Affleck, into a business opportunity! Although her recent documentary focused on her and Ben’s second chance of love, an insider reveals that Jen is hoping to monetize their later in life marriage and transform it into a lifestyle brand. Jennifer is developing a website, similar to Ben’s ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow‘s GOOP. Everything will be geared for the 50+ crowd and focus on couples who reconnect. She envisions selling everything from sleepwear to candles, books, to even a signature scent. If all goes according to plan, it should launch before the end of the year.

BEN AFFLECK IS WILLING TO SUFFER FOR LOVE

Jennifer Lopez’slove don’t cost a thing,” except maybe the price of a laser tattoo removal. Jen is still madly in love with her hubby Ben Affleck, but she just can’t say the same for the ginormous tattoo covering his back. Ben got the large multicolor Phoenix tattoo during a low point in his life (he reportedly wasn’t sober) and he’s well aware that his better half dislikes it. It’s reported to be far more painful to laser OFF a tattoo than it is to get one, but Ben wants Jen to be happy so he’s beginning the process of having it removed. Unfortunately for him, his tattoo is SO large and colorful that it’s going to take multiple sessions – and very likely a few years.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Christina Applegate just revealed that she has 30 lesions on her brain due to her courageous battle with MS. We just learned that Christina has turned to the Wahl Protocol Diet in hopes of alleviating her debilitating symptoms. The diet, developed by MS inflicted Dr. Terry Wahl, has proven to help many patients although it will take time to see if Christina benefits from the plan -which includes lots of leafy greens, lean meats and limited sweets and dairy.

A few days ago, Diddy’s multiple homes were raided by the Department of Homeland Security over allegations and sex trafficking and we are now hearing that his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez has been asked to sit for an interview! Both the FBI and Homeland Security are curious to find out what she may have seen when she and Diddy were a thing from 1999-2001. My source says that J.Lo is LIVID over being dragged into this mess, but nonetheless plans to cooperate since she doesn’t want to risk getting subpoenaed.

Carol Burnett is still making headlines at 90-years-old thanks to her turn on Palm Royale, the hot new series on Apple TV+. Carol has gotten rave reviews for her performance in the campy comedy/drama and now the folks at Saturday Night Live have noticed. Despite her illustrious comedic career, Carol has never hosted SNL. That could be about to change as we just heard that producers are trying to work with her schedule about hosting the still popular show as the end of this season or more likely early next season.

The world found out this week that pro footballer Aaron Rodgers won’t be RFK Jr.’s vice-presidential running mate, as Kennedy chose Bay Area mogul Nicole Shanahan as his pick. Here’s what we know: Aaron was actually asked before Nicole to join the ticket but he was never going to run with Kennedy because he has other political aspirations. As my source put it, he didn’t want to shoot his shot on this long-shot campaign but instead plans to run for Senator once he retires from football.

Beyoncé’s country album drops this week and here’s something you read here FIRST. Weeks ago we told you Beyonce was doing a duet with legend Dolly Parton and in the just released soundtracks it shows she’s covering Dolly’s popular sing Jolene. Our source says Dolly and Beyonce did a duet for the album and hoped to keep it a secret, which they did for everyone else BUT this website.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Paula Abdul’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her former coworker and friend, Nigel Lythgoe is making headlines as the two engage in back and forth of he said /she saids. Here’s what we know: The two had a major falling out prior to Paula filing her lawsuit and behind closed doors a settlement conference is already in the works. Our source says this will never go to trial and that it will likely be gone from the news cycle by the summer, since neither wants their dirty laundry aired in public. From what we hear, both sides have enough dirty laundry to open a dry cleaners!

Ben Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner were spotted together at Disneyland without their current significant others to celebrate their son Samuel’s birthday, and it raised a few eyebrows. Here’s the scoop: Ben and  wife Jennifer Lopez and Garner and her main squeeze, John Miller, celebrated Samuel’s birthday TOGETHER with dinner and cake at Garner’s house after the Disney outing. Our source says all four adults have developed a friendship and there’s no hard feelings between Affleck and Garner. Ben is pals with John and the two Jennifers have developed a bond. This is co-parenting at its finest.

Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign the day after Super Tuesday, but what she did NOT do is endorse her fellow Republican Donald Trump. Here’s why: Nikki deplores Trump’s misogynistic ways and while she’s a fan of most of his policies, she finds him repulsive as a human being (and we use that term loosely). Here’s some inside scoop: Before Nikki caves to pressure and endorses Trump she has a top secret call scheduled with President Joe Biden. Our source says that Biden is prepared to offer Nikki a role in his cabinet, or her former UN position, if she endorses him instead!
