KHLOE KARDASHIAN: THE FAMILY DISCIPLINARIAN

When it comes to parenting, Khloe Kardashian is a stern taskmaster, but her sisters who also have kids, Kourtney, Kim and Kylie, want her to chill. Khloe frequently hosts her nieces and nephews at her Hidden Hills home, and according to a family insider, she gives the kids CHORES while they’re there. While most wouldn’t consider this a bad thing, her sisters feel it’s foolish since they all have full time staff to cook and clean. Although Khloe has ample help, she requires the kids do the dishes, put away their toys, and make their beds when they sleep over. Now it’s become a point of contention, especially for Kim. Khloe runs a tight ship and she fears all of the kids are too spoiled and need to learn basic human skills, while Kim feels it’s pointless given their wealth.

THEIR KIDS BROUGHT BEN AND JEN TOGETHER FOR LUNCH

 Ben Affleck’s son Samuel  and Jennifer Lopez shared a huge hug in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel this weekend.  Loyal readers shouldn’t be surprised that Jennifer  had lunch with Ben Affleck and four of their combined five kids yesterday at the hotel. As we’ve been reporting, Ben and Jen’s children have formed a strong bond similar to The Brady Bunch. My inside source reveals it was the KIDS who arranged the joint lunch with Ben and Jen, as they are still hoping that the estranged couple can work out their differences and stay together. My source also reveals that you can expect to see more of Ben and John hanging out in the near future – all thanks to THE KIDS!

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

By the time you read this, Robert F Kennedy Jr. may have already ended his laughable presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. However, we heard that it just might be too much for his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. While Cheryl stood by her man during his never gonna win campaign, she isn’t a fan of Trump and realizes her standing in Hollywood will be jeopardized if her husband endorses him. According to my source, there’s only so much Cheryl can stomach, and she’s been pleading with her husband NOT to endorse Trump. If he does though, my source predicts their marriage will suffer.

Jennifer Lopez made the news with her surprise filing for divorce, catching Ben Affleck and the rest of the world off guard. Their marriage is now seemingly kaput, but Jennifer still plans on buying a house with enough bedrooms for her twins and Ben’s three kids. The children have formed quite the bond with one insider is comparing it to the Brady Bunch. We hear that Jen intends to keep that family unit together even once she’s officially divorced from Ben.

Speaking of Jennifer Lopez, we also heard that IF the marital house that she shared with Ben Affleck sells before she buys a new place, she has an open invitation to stay with Ben’s other ex-wife, Jennifer Garner! The Jens became friends over the past few years (we can only IMAGINE them gossiping about how challenging it was to be married to Ben) and as we all now know their kids are all very close. Jen G. has more than enough room for J.Lo and the twins so don’t be surprised if they wind up as temporary roomies.

Of course the biggest news was the Democratic National Convention, with Vice President Kamala Harris accepting her party’s nomination for President! (We couldn’t be more DELIGHTED at the prospect of her in the White House), but politics aside, we just heard that while she didn’t endorse her at the convention, Taylor Swift is gearing up for a big splashy endorsement video and social media blitz. Taylor and her handlers were livid that Donald Trump posted something on his faltering truth social that claimed Taylor had endorsed him. The AI generated post was the final straw for Taylor and now she’s getting ready to go big for Kamala.

Finally, President Joe Biden was the hero who saved democracy by abandoning his campaign and handing the reigns over to Kamala. Biden hightailed it out of the DNC hours after his riveting speech, and headed to Montecito, California for a vacation. We heard though that it wasn’t all rest and relaxation. Loyal readers will remember WE TOLD YA that Biden planned on relocating to California once his Presidency was over, and during his time in Montecito he privately toured a few available homes. According to our source, a Democratic billionaire donor is planning to buy the property and let Biden and Jill have the exclusive rights to it until they both pass away.

BEN AND JEN’S KIDS ARE PUTTING THEIR HEADS TOGETHER

In what could be a plot twist from The Brady Bunch, estranged couple Jennifer Lopez, and Ben Affleck seem to be headed for divorce, but their children are SCHEMING to save the marriage. The one bright spot from Jen and Ben’s union has been their blended family, because the kids have formed an unbreakable bond. To their credit, both Jen and Ben have done their best to keep the kids together, but with divorce appearing inevitable, the kids are working together behind the scenes to see how they can save the troubled marriage. One of the biggest problems is their parents lifestyle differences, Ben is low-key, private, and frugal, while Jen loves the limelight and likes to be seen looking good and spends a LOT of money. Although most reports say a divorce is an inevitable, don’t count Ben and Jen out yet, if their kids have anything to do with it.

TAYLOR SWIFT ROLLS OUT THE RED CARPET FOR THE ROYALS

Taylor Swift’s London concerts were the place to be as everyone from Tom Cruise, Travis Kelce and Prince William with his two oldest children showed up. Williams’s wife, Kate Middleton couldn’t make it since she’s still recovering, and was told to avoid large crowds. Not only did Taylor pose for photos with William and the happy kids, she also recorded a personalized video for Kate, wishing her a speedy recovery and promising her the best seats in the house for any of her future concerts when she recovers! And that’s not all, Taylor also gave Prince George and Princess Charlotte bags of concert swag, which she signed for the starstruck kids.

RIHANNA WANTS TO BE CLOSER TO BARBADOS

Rihanna is gearing up to make a major change in her life. Although she owns multiple properties in the Los Angeles area, Rihanna is now looking to uproot her family and relocate to Greenwich, Connecticut. According to my source, Rihanna’s been spending more and more time on the East Coast, but the deciding factor is that it’s five hours closer to her homeland of Barbados. Rihanna can get home in less than five hours via private jet from NYC, but it takes twice that amount of time from LA. Rihanna wants her children to grow up part of the time in Barbados, and part of the time of the USA. During her recent stay to New York she snuck away to nearby Greenwich, touring homes in the $25 million range.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The season three finale of Hacks just dropped on the streaming service MAX and we have some good scoop on the highly acclaimed and popular show. Although it hasn’t been announced, season 4 is a go and you can expect to see all of the familiar faces, even those who appear just briefly. According to our source, series star Jean Smart makes a conscious effort to ensure even the smallest characters have enough lines so they can continue with their SAG/AFTRA benefits. As my source puts it, Jean is not only the matriarch on the show, but she’s taken on a motherly role to the cast.

The verdict is in and Donald Trump was found GUILTY on all 34 criminal charges making him a convicted felon, and we just heard this interesting tidbit: As we previously reported, Melania Trump stayed away from the courthouse and our inside source reveals WHY. It was her psychic advisor who told her to keep her distance! Apparently Melania consults her psychic before making major life decisions, interestingly enough, this mimics another former First Lady, Nancy, Reagan, whose friendship with psychics made headlines back in the 1980s. Melania’s medium told her nothing good would come if she attended the trial, and apparently she was right!

The late but not so great O.J. Simpson made headlines after a new $500,000 tax lien came to light. According to our source, O.J’s two kids with his late wife, Nicole Simpson, Sydney and Justin are collaborating on a reality show based on everything they know and what they suspect. My source says the kids are scrambling to make money now that OJ’s dead, as he financially helped them. The untitled project hasn’t found a home yet, but is being shopped around to streaming services. We will keep you posted.

Paris Hilton made headlines yet again for another mishap with her young son. A few weeks ago she was taken to task for posting a photo of her son incorrectly placed in a car seat and now once again she made headlines posting a photo of her son wearing a lifejacket that was on backwards. According to our source, the new mom is trying her best, but really doesn’t have much practical experience with babies, so she recently hired a private tutor to teach her the ABC’s of motherhood. Our source says that Paris hasn’t doesn’t want to make any more public errors when it comes to her kids, so the tutor is showing her ins and outs. Our source reveals that Paris has already spent $10,000 on her parental training.

And finally, Nicki Minaj made headlines as she was arrested in Amsterdam over a soft drug related charge. Although she was released with just a small fine, our inside source reveals the whole thing doesn’t pass the sniff test. Because of the delay, Nikki missed her show in Manchester, England, but our source points out that the venue was FAR from sold out, and can’t help but wonder if the entire incident was manufactured to save Nicki the embarrassment of performing in a non-packed arena.

CAN OPRAH PUT CHER’S FAMILY BACK TOGETHER?

Cher is Turning 78-years-old on May 20, and all she wants for her birthday is to reconcile with her kids, Chaz and Elijah Blue. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Cher has turned to her longtime pal, Oprah Winfrey, for help! Cher and Oprah go back for decades, developing a friendship after numerous appearances on Oprah’s former daytime talk show. In fact, Cher and her then daughter Chastity who later transitioned into Chaz, appeared on Oprah to talk about their complicated mother/daughter relationship. Oprah has advised Cher through the years, so once again she’s turned to her for help on how to put her family back together. Don’t be too surprised if it happens, and we expect to see Cher and her kids talking about it on one of Oprah’s regular television interview specials.

BEYONCE IS JUST ANOTHER CARPOOLING MOM

When you think of carpooling parents you might not think of Beyoncé, but as unbelievable as it sounds, she’s actually one of them. Beyoncé’s kids attend a private school in LA (we aren’t naming the school or the location for privacy) but nonetheless you will love this item. The school has a strict “no nanny” policy – meaning all children MUST be dropped off and picked up by a parent or legal guardian. The pricey school is popular with celebrity parents along with movers and shakers, so Beyoncé has joined a carpool. Either she or Jay Z take turns shuffling a group of kids to school along with a group of other A-list parents. Tuition can run $50,000 per year for the elementary school, but even with the high price tag the rule is set in stone with no exceptions, EVER!

A LITTLE GRUMBLING AFTER LEGEND WEEKEND IN ITALY

We couldn’t resist sharing one last tidbit from our exclusive scoop about Chrissy Teigen and John Legend‘s wedding renewal ceremony in Lake Como, Italy last weekend. According to our spy, a few guests were surprised that Chrissy and John brought along their children when the invitation specifically instructed guests NOT to bring their kids. The problem? Guests were expected to pay for their own airfare, ground transportation and accommodations, and with rooms at the resort going for over $6000 a night, the tab easily added up. My source says that some guests were miffed that they shelled out so much money to attend, and were forced to leave their kids at home with sitters. “It’s one thing to say no kids allowed if John and Chrissy were picking up the tab for everything, but it’s borderline obnoxious to ban kids and still expect people to pay their own way,” the insider explains.
