HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW (ABOUT POLITICS)

Dear Readers, while the election didn’t go our way, we’re sure the one thing most everyone can agree on is that we’re all thrilled it’s behind us. In that spirit we are posting a special political edition of our popular feature, Here’s What We Know. While it was hard to resist gossiping about the candidates, we will wrap up our political scoop with the following …

Our well placed source says one of the first calls Kamala Harris made when she knew she wasn’t moving into the White House was to a longtime realtor friend of hers in California. Kamala plans to hightail it out of Washington, DC and is looking for a new home back in California. She and her husband Doug already have a $5 million home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, but now she’s looking for something in a gated community like Hidden Hills or Beverly Park.

Speaking of Kamala, while it’s too soon for her to decide her next step forward we just heard she’s already being wooed to run for Governor of California once Governor Newsom is termed out in a few years. We do know Kamala is NOT done with politics, so this could be her logical next step!

Former Vice President Mike Pence didn’t endorse his former running mate and it sounds like he’s scared stiff. We just heard that he beefed up his security now that Trump won the election. Former VP’s don’t get secret service protection once they’re no longer in office, so Pence hired his own private security for the time being – to prevent some extremist from doing anything crazy.

Cheryl Hines played the waiting game once her husband RFK Jr. endorsed Trump and was caught having an inappropriate relationship with another female. We heard her plan was to divorce Kennedy if Trump lost, but stick with him if he won. She hedged her bets and is now telling pals she’s planning to integrate herself in Washington DC and become a power player. She’s also a diehard Democrat so she hopes to influence Trump on certain issues now that her husband is buddy buddy with him. As my source put it, this is a case of keep your friends close and your ENEMIES closer.

As loyal readers will already know, Melania Trump previously informed her husband that she IS NOT moving back to Washington, DC but staying put in New York City. This poses a huge problem for her highbrow neighbors in Trump Tower where she lives in the penthouse, because once she’s the active First Lady again, she will be given MORE secret service. We heard through a source connected to the building, that more than a few residents are planning to move out so they won’t have to deal with the expected inconveniences.

And finally, in our last political gossip for the foreseen future, we heard that President Joe Biden is telling pals that the one silver lining of having Kamala lose is he is planning to issue a ton of presidential pardons – including for his son Hunter. If Kamala won, he didn’t want to tarnish her start by issuing pardons, but since that’s not an issue, you can expect the pardons to be fast and furious. He’s already getting bombarded with calls from cronies with suggestions on whom to pardon.

On that note readers, you can expect us to slow down on political chatter but continue to provide you with the best and most accurate HOLLYWOOD gossip because… That’s what we know!

DREW BARRYMORE HASN’T STOPPED CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’

Drew Barrymore let out a happy shriek when she arrived for work at the studio on her birthday – even her dog Douglas was startled. Drew’s staffers were outside wearing party hats and singing happy birthday. After many hugs, it was apparent that The Drew Barrymore Show must be a pleasant place to work. But California girl Drew misses life on the West Coast. Drew’s lived on and off in NYC for years, but thanks to her popular talk show, she now calls NYC her full time home. Drew’s made no secret of her desire to move back to Los Angeles at some time in the future, and it MIGHT be much sooner than she’s letting on. According to our source, Drew has already put the wheels in motion to relocate her show to LA and she’s working with a realtor looking for a home in the West Hollywood area in hopes of moving by September.

ARE KOURTNEY AND TRAVIS BARKER MONTECITO MATERIAL?

New parents, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker might become new neighbors with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Kourtney and Travis are quietly look at property in the same tony area of Montecito, California, where Meg and Harry (among other A-listers) call home. With a baby to focus on, Kourtney wants to remove herself from the seemingly never ending drama with her family. Since they all live within a few miles of each other now, Kourtney wants to relocate, and both she and Travis love Montecito. They’ve secretly toured a few homes already and according to my source, they’re hoping to move right after the holidays. We wonder if Travis and Kourtney will tone down their rockstar looks….

ELLEN DEGENERES AND PORTIA: AUSTRALIA IS BECKONING!

Is Ellen DeGeneres gearing up to say see ya to the USA, and G’day mate to Australia? Ellen and her wife Portia De Rossi just listed their Montecito, California estate for $46.5 million and according to a friend, the reason is because they are now seriously thinking of relocating (at least for the majority of the time) to Portia’s homeland. There are  a few reasons for the move – first of all, Portia wants to be closer to her family and childhood friends. Ellen’s career is all but over, so she has no work reason to stick around, and they are both fed up with the politics of the USA. Their plan is to buy a smaller place in California and a large compound/working farm in Australia (Portia loves horses) and grow old together down under. We predict they will be flipping Australian houses also…

Looks like Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck FINALLY found a house in Beverly Hills that suits their blended family! Clever paparazzi found them in the process of movng in today. Since they are blending Ben’s furniture with Jennifer’s, we can see hordes of stuff – sofas, rugs, art, and chairs being hauled in to the rear of the house. But there’s plenty of room for it all – this house has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms! 24 BATHROOMS!

TOM BRADY IS HOPING GISELE WILL COOPERATE

Now that he’s announced his retirement from football and MEANS it this time, Tom Brady has put his Florida house up for sale and hopes to relocate to California to focus on his next career as a movie producer, TV sports commentator, and maybe even an actor. BUT he has to persuade his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen to move also. He and Gisele have waterfront mansions across from one another in Florida where they planned to raise their kids since he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He’s offered to buy Gisele a mansion in Beverly Bills if she will agree to relocate. Tom wants to be close to his kids. Our source says Gisele likes her life in South Florida (and her jiu-jitsu teacher there!) and although the idea of a mansion in Beverly Hills is appealing, she’s not saying yes just yet.

GENE SIMMONS’ HARSH DOSE OF REALITY

It was a little over a year ago that Gene Simmons made the ponderous announcement that he and his wife Shannon Tweed were leaving California. His main gripe seemed to be that the tax rates were “unacceptable,” but he also complained about earthquakes, traffic, fires, and even pesky tour busses. He decided to leave this “uninhabitable” state and move to tax-friendly Nevada. He packed up, sold his Beverly Hills house, and bought a place in Lake Tahoe. Around that time he had a gallery showing of his art at The Venetian in Las Vegas. We’re not sure if his art sold well, but before we knew it, Gene was MOANING about the desert heat. Before Christmas, Gene and Shannon quietly moved back to a gorgeous architectural home in Bel-Air. So much for “uninhabitable” California…
