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.

WE TOLD YA SO: LEONARDO DICAPRIO’S BIRTHDAY BASH WAS THE PLACE TO BE

Leonardo DiCaprio just turned 50 and he had a star studded party just like we told ya ( see link below). Leo originally planned a destination party (which we heard and previously told you about) but as we later reported he decided to scale it back and host his closest celebrity and non-celebrity friends at a Beverly Hills house party. The bash on Saturday, November 9, was the hottest ticket in Hollywood even though it competed with the star studded Baby2Baby gala at the Pacific Design Center. In fact, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were just one of many who did double duty, starting out at the fundraising gala, but later scooting to Leo’s and partying into the wee hours of the morning.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO CHANGED PLANS FOR HIS 50TH BIRTHDAY

Time certainly flies. Way back in April we told you about Leonardo DiCaprio‘s plans for a star studded 50th birthday celebration and now that the big day is less than a month away, Leo’s pumping the brakes on the extravagant get-together. And he’s losing out on a ton of deposits. According to my source, Leo has decided to ditch the big bash and plan a romantic getaway with his Italian model girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti. And get THIS: the eternal bachelor is thinking of proposing! Leo’s good friend George Clooney married his current wife Amal when he was 53 and started a family soon after, so Leo’s thinking about following in George’s footsteps. No doubt George is the one encouraging him to settle down.

CAN LEONARDO DICAPRIO RESIST AN OFFER FROM AMAZON?

Sometimes a European vacation is just that, and other times it’s the backdrop for a major movie deal. There’s a REASON Leonardo DiCaprio has been sailing around Italy on Jeff Besos’ yacht. The Amazon chief is attempting to coax Leo into producing and starring in a movie for his streaming branch. According to my source, being one of the wealthiest men in the world isn’t enough for Jeff, he also wants to be seen as a Hollywood power player (perhaps because his fiancé, Lauren Sanchez’s ex-husband is just that). Jeff has been working on Leo to jump ship to Amazon and start producing, directing, and starring in movies they can stream. It’s not a done deal yet, but if there’s enough money in the offer, expect Leo to become a bigwig at Amazon.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO WILL TURN FIFTY IN A BIG WAY

This is just depressing and there is no way around it… Leonardo DiCaprio turns 50 this November! It seems like yesterday that Leo was a boyish heartthrob starring in Titanic and adored by millions of young girls. But time flies fast and now he’s set to mark a half of a century on November 11. Leo’s leaning INTO  the big day and planning a huge 50th birthday party which will be more star-studded than the Academy Awards. He’s inviting all of his former costars, his countless celebrity friends, some of his political buddies, and even some former girlfriends. He also hired  a  party planner to ensure that his 50th is a celebration that he and Hollywood will not soon forget.

MICK JAGGER CAN ALWAYS GET WHAT HE WANTS

Even a rainstorm couldn’t stop the biggest celebration in London this weekend: Mick Jagger’s 80th birthday party. It started early at Mick’s home in London and continued at a Chelsea nightclub until 3 AM. Mick was with his current companion Melanie Hamrick (they have a 7 year old son!) Nice to see that Mick’s ex Jerry Hall was there along with several of his adult kids, numerous UK socialites, and plenty of celebrities. Ronnie Wood  was there, but no Keith. Poor Leonardo DiCaprio! He looks disappointed that he can no longer wear a covid mask to disguise his famous self, so he has to pull his baseball cap down to avoid attention. Mick looks like he’s in good shape – and no beard!

WHO ELSE WOULD WALK AROUND LIKE THIS?

It’s not hard to guess who this masked celebrity is walking into a party at Art Basel Soho Beach house in Miami. Leonardo DiCaprio is the only actor we know who disguises himself wherever he goes. He is also one of the few people who loves wearing a mask. Does he resent the fact that paparazzi make money selling HIS photos? Perhaps, but for some reason he cannot accept the fact that having photos taken goes with his job as an actor. Other celebrities like Mark Wahlberg and Ben Affleck are equally inconvenienced, but have made peace with the photographers and don’t mistreat them. Notice Tobey MaGuire walking behind Leo, looking like a normal person…

LEONARDO DICAPRIO WARNS: DON’T LOOK UP!

Don’t Look Up could be the caption of this photo of Leonardo DiCaprio, with his eyes glued to his phone, but it also happens to be the title of the movie he’s filming in Boston. Leo is dressed as a scholarly type because he and Jennifer Lawrence play unknown astronomers who detect an asteroid approaching that will destroy earth, but nobody believes them. They try to warn the President but he doesn’t understand the urgency, so they go on a media tour to try and warn mankind that everyone is about to die. The cast of this political satire is amazing- Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande, etc.

TOBEY MAGUIRE LOVES BEING SINGLE AGAIN

What pandemic? Have you ever seen Tobey Maguire, 44, looking happier? He’s with his model girlfriend Tatiana Dieteman, 27, and looks like he doesn’t have a care in the world. The pair met two years ago at a model party held by Tobey’s close friend Leonardo DiCaprio. Tobey and jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer, the mother of his two children, divorced in 2017, and it has been a smooth split. Tobey’s kids get along well with Tatiana, and Jennifer has found a new boyfriend of her own. And Tobey’s livin’ large…

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JASON MOMOA AND LEO DICAPRIO

We’re not talking about looks here – we’re talking about behavior. Above, Jason Momoa was surprised by paparazzi as he walked into his New York hotel. He was in a hurry, but acknowledged them with a sly grin. Leonardo DiCaprio, on the other hand, HATES the idea of paparazzi making money with photos of him! He scowls and tries to make his pics less desirable by covering himself with hats, hoods, sunglasses, scarves, jackets on his head, even pushy bodyguards. Jason often jokes with the paparazzi and doesn’t seem to mind them at all. They’re just part of the business…
