Nikki Haley

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Paula Abdul’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her former coworker and friend, Nigel Lythgoe is making headlines as the two engage in back and forth of he said /she saids. Here’s what we know: The two had a major falling out prior to Paula filing her lawsuit and behind closed doors a settlement conference is already in the works. Our source says this will never go to trial and that it will likely be gone from the news cycle by the summer, since neither wants their dirty laundry aired in public. From what we hear, both sides have enough dirty laundry to open a dry cleaners!

Ben Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner were spotted together at Disneyland without their current significant others to celebrate their son Samuel’s birthday, and it raised a few eyebrows. Here’s the scoop: Ben and  wife Jennifer Lopez and Garner and her main squeeze, John Miller, celebrated Samuel’s birthday TOGETHER with dinner and cake at Garner’s house after the Disney outing. Our source says all four adults have developed a friendship and there’s no hard feelings between Affleck and Garner. Ben is pals with John and the two Jennifers have developed a bond. This is co-parenting at its finest.

Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign the day after Super Tuesday, but what she did NOT do is endorse her fellow Republican Donald Trump. Here’s why: Nikki deplores Trump’s misogynistic ways and while she’s a fan of most of his policies, she finds him repulsive as a human being (and we use that term loosely). Here’s some inside scoop: Before Nikki caves to pressure and endorses Trump she has a top secret call scheduled with President Joe Biden. Our source says that Biden is prepared to offer Nikki a role in his cabinet, or her former UN position, if she endorses him instead!

NIKKI HALEY WILL NOT ALWAYS FORGIVE AND FORGET

Another juicy piece of DC gossip from our political insider that we couldn’t wait to share: They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Nikki Haley is scorned! As the then Governor of South Carolina Nikki appointed Tim Scott as a Senator when the seat became open. How did he thank her? By sucking up to her Republican opponent Donald Trump and endorsing him instead! Tim’s cringe-worthy drooling over Trump only got worse when Trump started badmouthing Nikki and Tim all but went along. My source says that if she doesn’t become the Republican nominee (and at this point it looks like a long shot) Nikki plans to run against Tim when his Senate term is up in 5 years. As my source puts it, Nikki will never forgive Tim. Of course, a lot could change between now and then, but Nikki is rightfully upset at Tim’s betrayal and wants revenge.

CAN DONALD TRUMP TAKE A JOKE ON SNL?

Nikki Haley made a surprise appearance in the opening skit of Saturday Night Live on February 3 and to be politically fair, NBC also invited her main rivals, President Joe Biden and Donald Trump to appear in future episodes. According to our source, President Biden is 99% committed to appear, but Trump not so much.  The problem is:  the show doesn’t guarantee anything, meaning – you gotta be able to take a joke.  Case in point:  SNL ribbed  good sport Nikki about her misstep when she didn’t mention slavery as the reason for the Civil War.  While Biden is prepared to be made fun of – (we can almost hear the age jokes now ) – thin skinned Trump has zero sense of humor when HE’S the butt of jokes.  He insists on complete control of a skit.  Needless to say, the show said no way,  so it’s unlikely now he will appear.  Based on his past behavior, he’ll CLAIM he was unfairly excluded, so remember where you read this.  He turned them down because he can’t take a joke.

DONALD TRUMP HAS A BACK-UP PLAN FOR NIKKI HALEY

Just because we’re not a fan doesn’t mean we don’t have a well-placed Donald Trump source and this latest tidbit is a real doozy! The former president is well aware that Nikki Haley is suddenly approaching neck and neck with him. He recently confided to a friend that if he doesn’t win the Republican nomination for president and Nikki does, he plans to run ( and of course fundraise) as a third party candidate which will all but GUARANTEE that Nikki loses. Our source explained that Donald is the epitome of a sore loser and he plans to punish EVERYBODY if he doesn’t get the nomination. Just remember WHERE you read this!

NIKKI HALEY IS GETTING A PRESIDENTIAL MAKEOVER

This is political gossip AND fashion gossip so we just couldn’t resist sharing. One of our fashion sources revealed that presidential candidate, Nikki Haley is now working with an established stylist to make her look more presidential. A Republican Super PAC just gave Nikki their practically unlimited checkbook, so now her campaign is flush with cash. As a result, she’s being seen as a potential Republican front runner, and someone who can dethrone the divisive Donald Trump. Nikki decided she needed a makeover, so she’s working with a NY based stylist on updating her wardrobe, accessories, makeup, and hair. Even though she’s a conservative Republican, she’s also seen as reasonable and moderate, so most of the top fashion designers are willing to work with her. As our source explained it, many of the designers who refused to dress Melania Trump due to her husband’s policies, are more than willing to work with Nikki. Look for subtle changes from now on – her new and improved look will be complete early next year.

NIKKI HALEY FOR VICE PRESIDENT?

Sometimes we can’t resist sharing a snippet of gossip from our political insider: Disgraced former president Donald Trump is scheming to get back into the White House and we hear that he wants to turn his biggest threat into his running mate. According to our source, the ONLY republican candidate Trump is worried about is moderate Nikki Haley. (She’s the one who doesn’t want to criminalize abortion among other sane ideas) Trump fears Nikki is the only one standing in his way of becoming the republican nominee. Behind VERY closed doors he’s had his people reach out to offer her the spot of vice president – IF she agrees to drop out of the race soon, and join his ticket! For now, Nikki has no desire to abandon her OWN White House dream, but if she doesn’t do well in the early primaries next year, she COULD take Trump up on his idea!
