TORI SPELLING LIVING IN A BUDGET MOTEL?

Tori Spelling was recently photographed outside of a budget motel in a less than glamorous part of Los Angeles, where she has apparently been staying since splitting from her husband, Dean McDermott. Some people close to Tori suspect the entire thing was a ploy to guilt her mom Candy into opening her change purse! Although Tori has pled poverty in her past, the insider says that’s it’s highly unlikely Tori and her 5 kids actually stayed at the modest property. Even more suspicious, paparazzi don’t stake out those types of motels expecting to find celebrities. “The entire thing reeks of one of Tori’s tricks to embarrass her mom to give her more cash,” the insider told me. “Plus she likely got paid for tipping off the photographer, so after the photos were taken, she probably left and checked into somewhere more comfortable.”

Kyle Richards Mauricio Umansky Money Separated The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

KYLE RICHARDS DRIVES A HARD BARGAIN

Kyle Richards turned lemons into lemonade when it came to her unexpected split from longtime husband Maurico Umansky. Kyle and Maurico waited to announce their split until AFTER the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills completed filming season 13. Our source told us this was a DELIBERATE move on Kyle‘s part since she and Mauricio had secretly been separated for a few months while the current season was still filming. Once she announced the separation, producers scrambled to get Kyle back in front of the cameras to talk about the shocking development. Kyle demanded a big bonus to resume filming since the season had already been completed, and apparently she GOT it since she resumed filming this week.

Budget Meghan Markle Money Prince Harry Spotify

MEGHAN AND HARRY: EARNING MONEY IS NOT AS EASY AS IT LOOKS

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s income has dropped since getting booted from Spotify and a friend says they are now on a BUDGET! That’s right, the man who’s fifth in line to become the King of England and his TV star wife are counting pennies! While they’re far from broke, Harry and Meg were jolted into reality after their lucrative Spotify deal was axed, so now they’re cutting costs where they can. The friend says the couple have been rethinking some real estate investments, cutting back their household staff and security detail, and they postponed a large and costly planned renovation to their Montecito estate. They’re not exactly clipping coupons yet, but they ARE looking at their monthly expenses and trimming where they can until their financial future is more solid.

Ariana Madix Katie Maloney Money Something About Her Vanderpump Rules

ARIANA MADIX: BEING JILTED PAYS OFF

We could live quite happily without reality TV, but lately one cannot avoid hearing about the drama on Vanderpump Rules. For those who watch, here’s another juicy tidbit: Costars, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney have grown even CLOSER since Ariana’s beau, Tom Sandoval cheated on her with their other costar Raquel Leviss. Fans of the show will know they’re close to opening their West Hollywood cafe, Something About Her. A Bravo insider reveals that their once solid friendship has now hit a hiccup – over MONEY. Ariana is raking in the dough since the scandal, with our source estimating she’s pocketed close to $1 million in endorsement deals in the past few months, while her BFF Katie hasn’t earned one cent. The insider says that Katie was hoping to get a cut of the pie, especially since they’re pooling their resources to open their restaurant, and it’s caused a rift in their friendship. As the source explains, Katie assumed Ariana would find a way to include her in some of her money-making new opportunities, but so far she’s been left out in the cold.

Contract Donald Trump Marriage Melania Trump Money

DONALD’S INDICTED AND MELANIA’S CASHING IN !

Donald Trump was just indicted in an alleged $130,000 hush money payment to his rumored mistress, Stormy Daniels, but his wife Melania might have just hit the jackpot. An insider reveals that after Donald lost the presidential election, Melania quickly renegotiated her marital contract with Donald, since at the time she was contemplating leaving him. Not only did she get a bigger slice of his wealth in case of death or divorce, but she also had the foresight to include a clause that if he was ever charged with a crime or caught having an affair she gets even MORE to stick around! Long story short, a bad day for Donald might be a financial windfall for Melania.

Money Prince Andrew Prince Harry

PRINCE ANDREW IS INSPIRED BY PRINCE HARRY’S FINANCIAL SUCCESS

Disgraced Royal, Prince Andrew, is contemplating taking a page right out of his nephew, Prince Harry’s playbook and giving up his Royal responsibilities for money! Andrew has been on the outs with his family ever since his friendship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein became public. Since he no longer has his mother, Queen Elizabeth to look after him, he’s basically been downgraded by his brother, King Charles. Not only does Andrew have to move out of his mansion and into a much smaller cottage, but his “allowance” has been drastically cut as well. A Royal insider says that it’s gotten SO bad that Andrew is ready to cut his Royal ties and try his hand at making money! He’s broke, and he’s been relying on the generosity of his ex-wife Fergie for spending money.

Eviction Meghan Markle Money Prince Harry

HARRY AND MEGHAN’S “EVICTION” COULD BE COSTLY

Now that they’re being evicted from Frogmore Cottage (their official residence in the UK) Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have something to say to his dad, King Charles… SHOW US THE MONEY! The estate was a wedding gift from Queen Elizabeth and Harry and Meg spent over $3 million of their own money on renovations, but the paint was barely dry before they hightailed it out of there – eventually settling down in Montecito, California. Charles recently told them to move out so his brother Andrew could move in, and now Harry and Meg want to be reimbursed for the extensive renovations. No sooner did they get the “eviction notice” than Harry reached out to the Royal powers-that-be requesting the money. An insider says this could get ugly and might even wind up in a lawsuit.

Hair! Justin Bieber Money Songwriting Catalog

JUSTIN BIEBER: HARD UP FOR MONEY?

Justin Bieber might be having more problems than just his health. He’s in the process of negotiating to sell his songwriting catalog- worth around $200 million. But the money will have to be divided among numerous collaborators. Justin rarely writes songs alone. Most musicians who sell their catalogs are very established and much older than Justin – like Springsteen or Dylan -and they get much more money. Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411 speculates that Bieber might be selling because he needs the cash. Musicians make their money touring these days and Justin has cancelled his last two tours for health reasons. By the way, we cannot find a single photo of Justin Bieber without a hat since last February when he had a buzz cut. WHAT is going on under all those hats?

Bigi Jackson Estate Kids Michael Jackson Money Prince Jackson

MICHAEL JACKSON’S KIDS WILL NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MONEY

When Michael Jackson died 13 years ago, he was actually in debt – and had sold Neverland. When he signed up for his last concert tour before he died, they leased a house for him to live in. But some very smart estate executors have been handling what money he had, and now his estate is worth 2 billion dollars! That means his three kids, Prince, 25, Paris, 24, and Bigi, 20, and his mother Katherine, 92, are set for life. Prince is the smart one – he graduated with honors from Loyola Marymount University (the first Jackson to do so?) and co-founded a charity called Heal Los Angeles. Why Paris and Bigi passed on higher education is a mystery, but it didn’t do them any good. Paris is currently singing in concerts across the country- believing, no doubt, that she inherited musical talent from her late father Michael. Sensible Prince does not claim that Michael was his biological father, just his father.
