Joe Biden

WE TOLD YA SO!

No sooner did we have the world scoop that President Biden was either going to try to get another debate with Donald Trump scheduled immediately, or if that didn’t work, start granting interviews to major news network – that scoop came true! Less than 24 hours later, CNN revealed that the president has his first interview scheduled with ABC on this Friday. According to my well connected source, Trump passed on the idea of another debate (as we expected) so now in a last ditch effort to save his candidacy, President Biden will go on an interview blitz. Once again, we told you so!

THE JOE BIDEN DILEMMA

Even though it’s Friday and our usual day for our popular Here’s What We Know feature, we just couldn’t NOT share this lengthy newsworthy tidbit. According to our well placed political source, President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance last night might have been part of a bigger plan. Please keep in mind this is gossip but it makes perfect sense if you keep an open mind. Behind the scenes, higher ups in the Democratic Party were hoping Biden wouldn’t run for re-election, but when he insisted, they decided if they gave him enough rope he would hang himself. Despite his good intentions, 81-year-old Biden showed his age and then some last night, and now even some of the most loyal Democrats are calling for him to be replaced. My source points out that many people in the party believed that Joe’s performance WOULDN’T be up to par, which is why they insisted on having the first debate BEFORE the Democratic Convention where he is expected to be nominated as the candidate. Keep in mind, this is the FIRST time in history a debate has been held before the convention. Since Joe hasn’t officially been nominated, the thinking is, it will be easier to replace him. Although he’s insisting he’s going to stay in the race, behind the scenes everyone from senators to cabinet members are urging him to step down. My source adds that the plan is to get Joe to announce he’s dropping out of the race but will continue to serve the remainder of his term as president and designate his delegates to someone else. (Personally, we’d love to have a female candidate)

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The Met Gala is Monday, May 6 and we just heard this EXCLUSIVE tidbit. We previously reported Kim Kardashian was wearing Balenciaga to the event which makes sense since she IS the brand’s ambassador. Well Kim pulled a fast one and decided she wanted to go in a different direction so she scrapped her original outfit and is now wearing something else and not Balenciaga. Remember where you read this, as it should send waves through the fashion world since since Kim and Balenciaga are in business together and everyone expects her to wear the label on fashion’s biggest night.

President Joe Biden made news this week when he revealed he would be willing to debate Donald Trump in their race for the White House. Here’s what we just heard. This presidential debate might be unlike any other in the our nation’s history as the plan is for Biden and Trump to each choose one moderator to ask the questions with NOTHING off-limits. While countless details still need to be worked out, including the date and location, expect a debate unlike any other. My source says Trump has yet to agree to this arrangement since he’s terrified of answering questions from the seemingly liberal moderator the Biden campaign will likely select.

Justin Bieber made headlines after posting selfies of him crying and then he was spotted hanging out in Kauai, Hawaii. Here’s what we know. Justin is blaming a lot of his emotional issues on the pressures and temptations of living in Los Angeles, so he and his wife Hailey Bieber flew to Hawaii to look at homes. They’re planning to unload their sprawling Beverly Park estate, put down roots in Hawaii, and then buy a pied a terre in Los Angeles when they need to be in town for work. They love the island of Kauai, but also are looking at Maui and the Big Island.

Britney Spears made headlines as well- for numerous reasons including fears about her financial situation, settling her lawsuit with her father, and finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Sam Asghari. We know this… Britney’s mom Lynne is more involved behind the scenes than she’s letting on, and while she’s not micromanaging Britney or her finances, she is monitoring the situation and has safety nets in place just in case Britney spirals out of control. My source says that this time around if the consensus is that Britney needs a conservatorship it will be Lynne who is in charge.

And finally this. Travis Kelce inked a two-year deal with his team the Kansas City Chiefs making him the HIGHEST paid tight end in the NFL. While his $34.25 million contract is already public knowledge, here’s something we know that hasn’t been publicized. The deal also includes a secret bonus of $100,000 per regular season game, $250,000 for playoff games and a whopping $500,000 for the Super Bowl if his girlfriend (and likely soon-to-be fiance) Taylor Swift attends. My source say that Taylor’s presence at games brings in MILLIONS in additional revenue so that’s why Travis is getting the bonuses when she attends.

MIKE PENCE HAS A BIG DECISION TO MAKE

We all heard Mike Pence announce that he won’t endorse his former running mate, Donald Trump, in his bid to retake the White House. But here’s the shocker: according to my D.C. source, the former Vice President is being courted to endorse President Joe Biden! For now Pence is saying he’s not endorsing anyone, but behind closed doors, negotiations are taking place to see what it would take to get Pence to endorse Biden. Although the politicians couldn’t be more opposite in their beliefs, my source says that’s there’s still a civility and mutual respect, so if a deal can be struck, Pence COULD pop up in political ads for Biden…

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!

WERE TRAVIS AND TAYLOR THE MOTIVATION FOR KANSAS CITY SHOOTINGS?

This is some scary stuff, but it’s newsworthy and very inside, so please read it with that in mind. The tragic shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs victory parade today is being investigated as having a link to conspiracy theorists who believe that Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift was manufactured by the government to keep President Biden in the White House. As nutty as that sounds, some misinformed people actually BELIEVE that. While it’s too early in the investigation to come to any conclusions, our inside source reports that Taylor has been advised to beef up security until the motives of the shooters are determined. As the source explained it, there are actually crazies out there who believe Taylor and Travis are CIA operatives out to sway the election, and that’s one of the main theories police are working on as they investigate this shooting tragedy…

DON’T THINK JOE BIDEN HASN’T NOTICED THE POWER OF TAYLOR SWIFT

Joe Biden wants to be re-elected President and he’s counting on Taylor Swift to keep him in the White House! The popstar is more influential than ever,  after being named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, so now the Biden campaign is leaning on Taylor to record television ads supporting his reelection. Taylor has now reached a whole new audience thanks to her romance with Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce, so she has more influence than ever, especially in the usually conservative states of Kansas and Missouri. Taylor is being tapped to get out the vote and if her legions of Swifties follow her lead, she could easily sway the election.

DONALD TRUMP IS THINKING AHEAD

This tidbit comes from a well placed DC source and only time will tell if it happens. If Donald Trump isn’t the Republican presidential nominee in the 2024 election, our source says he’s not planning to endorse whoever wins the primaries – instead he plans to direct his millions of minions to vote for Joe Biden! Here’s the backstory: Donald’s plan is to negotiate a deal where he will throw his support behind the Democratic nominee IF he’s guaranteed a pardon in case he’s convicted of any of the current or future charges he’s facing. Plus Donald doesn’t want ANY Republican except himself to win the White House in the next election! Yes, it sounds far-fetched, but the source is impeccable and we CAN see Donald doing something underhanded like this.

SNL’S NEW JOE BIDEN ROCKS

SNL did the right thing when they replaced Joe Biden impersonator Jim Carrey with Alex Moffat. Carrey had been appearing on the show all this season as Biden and stopped after he was elected. Carrey’s portrayal of Biden was rather unnerving and borderline creepy. Jim Carrey tends of overdo it and he turned low-key Biden into a seething madman. Series regular Moffat (last seen as Eric Trump) looks and sounds a lot more like Biden to start with, and he gently made fun of the new President without insulting him. He entered his scene with his booted foot and a cane and when he saw the camera he ditched the cane and turned a somersault to prove his virility. Looks like Maya Rudolph’s Kamala Harris character will obviously be the one in charge – she smoothly hustled “Biden” away to get the Covid vaccine.

50 CENT AND DONALD TRUMP HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

We’ve never heard of Haute Magazine, but this week they collaborated with Watches of Switzerland at their Soho store to honor (of all people)
“rapper and entrepreneur” 50 Cent. The small exclusive group of guests perused the collection of expensive watches and enjoyed a very fancy dinner. 50 Cent is on the cover of the magazine’s recent issue, and fortunately he was NOT wearing this beige suit (Health measures were observed however.) Right before the event, 50 Cent was on the cover of the NY Post endorsing Donald Trump and declaring “I don’t want to be 20 cent” thanks to Biden’s tax plans. He also hinted that he might have to leave America (like Trump hints) if Biden wins. We’re betting there was some snappy conversation at THAT dinner…
