HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Celine Dion made headlines with her sit down interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb where she revealed intimate and painful details about her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome. Here’s what we know. The interview was Celine’s way of testing the water to see the public interest and reaction and it was SO positive that she’s forging ahead with plans to star in a reality show. The details are still being worked out, but it’s likely to appear on Bravo.

We continue to get updates on Leah Remini’s attempt to sell her Studio City, California home. After a number sales fell out of escrow, we are happy to share that Leah finally accepted a close-to-asking offer on her property. The buyers seemingly don’t have any connection to Scientology, so Leah is confident that this time the sale will go through.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s baby storyline was featured in this week’s episode of their Hulu series, The Kardashians. Here’s a tidbit you won’t see on the show. After a difficult pregnancy with their infant son, Rocky, Travis and Kourtney are secretly turning to surrogacy in hopes of having a daughter. It’s hush hush, but my source says the second baby could already be on the way!

Donald Trump continues to make headlines- most recently because a producer on his former show, The Apprentice, revealed that during season one, Donald dropped the N-word about finalist, Kwame Jackson. Here’s what I just heard… there’s top secret speculation that the incident was caught on tape, but the only way it could be released is if there was a legal court order. This is where it gets juicy – behind closed doors some are encouraging Kwame to SUE for discrimination, and if the tape is located, a judge could decide whether or not to make it public.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marital status continues to dominate the news cycle. One minute they’re wearing their wedding rings, and the next they’re not. In addition to our previous updates we just heard this: Jennifer’s mom, Guadalupe Rodriguez, is acting as Jennifer’s marriage counselor and SHE was the one who persuaded J.Lo to cancel her summer tour to focus on her marriage. Guadalupe and Ben share a special connection (they bonded over their love of gambling!) so even when Jen isn’t around Guadalupe and Ben have been spending time together. As my source puts it, if anyone can save this marriage it’s Guadalupe.

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.

HOW DESPERATE ARE THE NFL AND CBS TO HAVE TAYLOR SWIFT AT THE SUPER BOWL?

Here’s a late breaking update we just HAD to share. Travis Kelce and his mom Donna both made the news today with their “offhand comments” about Taylor Swift possibly not attending the Super Bowl -or even is she does attend, not having a private suite at the game. Here’s what we know: As we previously reported, Taylor was negotiating with the NFL and network (CBS) for transportation to and from the game AND a private suite at the game. She knows her presence will likely generate MILLIONS in revenue from increased ratings. Since she’s yet to get what she wants, she strategically put the word out via Travis and Donna that she just might NOT show up. Our source says the league and network REALLY want her to come, so they’re likely to give Taylor (and her millions of fans) whatever she’s asking for to get her to attend. Expect an announcement soon.

MELANIA TRUMP LOST HER SUPPORT SYSTEM

Some well-placed insiders say they will NOT be surprised if Melania Trump divorces her cheating husband, Donald Trump, now that her mother Amalija Knavs has passed away. Amalija was more than a mom to Melania – she was her best friend and confidant. According to the source, it was Amalija who advised Melania to make her marriage to Donald work whenever problems arose. (like his alleged extramarital affair with a pornstar) Now that Amalija is gone, these insiders predict Melania won’t have her live-in support system, and she could easily decide to ditch Donald and love the rest of her life without his seemingly never-ending baggage. Time will tell…

GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD: YOUR HUSBAND AND YOUR MOM LOOK ALIKE!

Are we CRAZY or does Gypsy Rose Blanchard’s HUSBAND bear a striking and not-so-coincidental resemblance to her MOTHER? These two photos have been circulating in the news and when we saw them side by side we were shocked. While Gypsy was in prison for murdering her sick (Munchausen by proxy) mother Dee Dee, her future husband, Ryan Anderson, wrote her a supportive letter and they started a romance. In 2022 they were married at the prison.Was Gypsy attracted to Ryan because he looked eerily familiar?

TAYLOR SWIFT HAS A BIG SURPRISE FOR HER AND TRAVIS’S MOMS

Taylor Swift is known for her friendship bracelets but now she’s elevated that cute gesture. Taylor’s mom Andrea is set to meet her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s mom Donna this Monday. According to my source, Taylor has a special SURPRISE planned for the moms: matching diamond bracelets! Taylor shelled out $58,000 each (that’s a total of $116,000 plus tax) for two matching 18k Cartier Love bracelets each dripping with 216 diamonds! Considering Taylor has just reached BILLIONAIRE status, that’s a drop in the bucket, but nonetheless a huge gesture -considering the romance is relatively new. My source suspects that 34-year-old Taylor is ready to settle down and it looks like Travis might just be the one who snags her -but only time will tell.

ELON MUSK: SUPERHERO OR SUPERVILLAIN?

We’re not sure what to be most surprised about: the fact that Elon Musk went to the Abracadabra store in the Flatiron district in NYC and bought an elaborate costume called The Devil’s Champion Leather Armor set for $7500 to wear to Heidi Klum’s Halloween party, OR the fact that he went to the party with his MOTHER, Maye Musk. The costume had odd symbols on it (including an upside down cross) and online observers (trolls?) are already making negative predictions and remarks about Musk’s supposedly dark character and linking everything to Twitter. We happen to think he’s fascinating and would not mind getting to know him…

SAM AFFLECK IS ONE LUCKY KID

It’s not often that you see a movie star take her child to school almost every day and pick him up after school. But that’s what Jennifer Garner has always done- first with her daughters, Violet and Seraphina, and now with her youngest son, 10 year old Sam. Garner always wanted her kids to have lives as normal as possible. She’s very involved in their schools and delivers them to after school activities herself. When she divorced Ben Affleck in 2015, she remained friends and continues to include him in their children’s lives. Her kids don’t know how lucky they are! Sam looks a lot like his mom, but he had Ben’s chin dimple.

LADY GAGA’S BORN THIS WAY CHARITY – WHAT HAPPENED?

According to RadarOnline, Lady Gaga’s non-profit charity Born This Way (she started it with her mom) was actually quite profitable – and Gaga’s mother Cynthia Germanotta enjoyed a $200,000 salary for her work there as president. Born This Way raised over 12 million dollars between 2015 and 2019 and their rather vague goal was “to support the mental health of young people and work with them to create a kinder world.” A 2019 tax filing indicates that the charity took in $3,609,947 for the year, but after office expenses they only paid out $149,914 in grants! Makes you wonder…

MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY QUARANTINES IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

We feel more than a twinge of envy for Matthew McConaughey’s new $7.85 million dollar vacation home in Hawaii. The 7000 sq ft home sits on an acre with magnificent ocean views and a huge infinity pool. 6 bedrooms and 6 1/2 bathrooms, including TWO master suites and a media room. Matthew pulled his 89 year old mother Kay out of her retirement community during the pandemic, and she’s been quarantining with Matthew, his wife Camila, their three kids, and four dogs. Luckily, his mom and Camila struck up nice friendship. We have a feeling mom will be claiming that second master.
