TAYLOR SWIFT IS LOOKING AT BEN AND JEN’S HOUSE

Our alert real estate source reveals that the $65 million Beverly Hills home just listed by owners Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck already has another A-list celebrity interested – Taylor Swift! Although she already owns a home not far from the property Jen and Ben are trying to unload, it’s nowhere near as palatial as this place. More important, this home checks all of Taylor’s boxes – it’s behind two sets of gates and is big enough to raise a large family which is what Taylor is hoping to do with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Taylor is still overseas on her Eras tour, but she’s already looked at the home via FaceTime video, and plans to take a personal tour of it as soon as she’s back in Los Angeles. Let’s face it, not too many people can afford a $65 million home, but for billionaire Taylor it’s pocket change…

Baby Ben Affleck Celine Dion Counseling Daughter Donald Trump Escrow HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW Jennifer Lopez Kourtney Kardashian Leah Remini Marriage Mother n-word Real Estate Reality Show Scientology Surrogate The Apprentice

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.

Hacks HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW Jean Smart Jennifer Lopez Kate Middleton Leah Remini Melania Trump Real Estate Scientology Vacation

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW:

Kate Middleton continues to be MIA, and her absence this week at the 80th celebration for D-Day in France was just the latest since her health battle began. Here’s what we know. Kate isn’t out of the woods yet, but she’s on her way to recovery. Although her stamina is improving she’s been advised by her doctors to avoid all public gatherings since her immune system is compromised while she undergoes treatment. Once her treatment concludes, she’s vowing to make up for lost time and resume her duties.

We’ve continued to update you on the trials and tribulations Leah Remini has been dealing with as she struggles to unload her Studio City, California home. We recently heard this tidbit. Leah just replaced her former realtors at Compass with Josh and Matt Altman, better known as the Altman Brothers. My source says the brothers have vowed to get to the bottom of it, and find out if Leah’s former associates in Scientology are behind the issues she’s been experiencing.

Melania Trump just dropped this bombshell on her husband Donald: If he recaptures the White House he shouldn’t expect her to join him in relocating to Washington DC. Win or lose, Melania’s plan is to divide her time between New York City and Palm Beach. She doesn’t have much interest in life in DC, especially now that her son Barron will be off at college. As my source puts it, the last thing she wants to do is be trapped in the White House with her husband and not her son.

Jennifer Lopez dominated the headlines this week after canceling her concert tour and vowing to spend more time with her family. As we previously reported J.Lo’s priority is to save her marriage to Ben Affleck. We just heard this update. Jen and Ben are planning a family vacation combining all of their kids, as soon as Ben wraps up his currently filming movie, a sequel to his successful 2016 film, The Accountant. My source says it will be a make or break vacation and will likely determine if they stay together.

And finally, last week we told you that Jean Smart’s MAX series, Hacks, was being renewed for season four. Soon after other outlets picked up our scoop and the streaming giant confirmed it. Here’s an update: Jean is hoping to reunite with her former Designing Women costar, Annie Potts next season. A role for Annie is currently being written, but Jean doesn’t want to jump the shark and make it a cliche. She has wanted to reunite with Annie for the longest time, so the writers are working overtime coming up with something worthy.

Barbados Kids Real Estate Rihanna

RIHANNA WANTS TO BE CLOSER TO BARBADOS

Rihanna is gearing up to make a major change in her life. Although she owns multiple properties in the Los Angeles area, Rihanna is now looking to uproot her family and relocate to Greenwich, Connecticut. According to my source, Rihanna’s been spending more and more time on the East Coast, but the deciding factor is that it’s five hours closer to her homeland of Barbados. Rihanna can get home in less than five hours via private jet from NYC, but it takes twice that amount of time from LA. Rihanna wants her children to grow up part of the time in Barbados, and part of the time of the USA. During her recent stay to New York she snuck away to nearby Greenwich, touring homes in the $25 million range.

Alec Baldwin Guilty Prison Real Estate

ALEC BALDWIN IS READY FOR ANYTHING

Alec Baldwin’s trial for involuntary manslaughter is slated to begin July 10, and according to an insider he and his wife Hilaria are already preparing for a worst case outcome if he’s found guilty and winds up in prison. Alec is facing 18-months in New Mexico State prison so he and Hilaria are already looking at compounds to lease if he ends up behind bars. My source reveals that their doomsday plan is for Hilaria to move their 7 kids to a mansion in Santa Fe, NM, so they’ll be able to visit Alec if he’s locked up. While Alec is confident he’ll be acquitted, he and Hilaria are practical enough to be prepared.

Leah Remini Real Estate Scientology

ARE SCIENTOLOGISTS MESSING WITH LEAH REMINI AGAIN?

We previously told you that Leah Remini was having a hard time unloading her Studio City home (which has been on the market for over a year) and that she SUSPECTS her former friends at Scientology are somehow involved. To refresh your memory, Leah keeps getting offers and entered escrow several times, but for one reason or another, the buyers backed out. Here’s an interesting update. Our well placed real estate source told me the home recently fell out of escrow yet AGAIN, so this time around Leah hired a private investigator to see if her hunch is correct. If she gets the proof that Scientology is behind these antics, my source says Leah will sue for damages. We’d like to see her WIN bigtime…

Baby Real Estate Robert Pattinson School Suki Waterhouse

ROBERT PATTINSON IS PLANNING AHEAD

Even though they’re both Brits, new parents Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse are putting down roots – in the San Fernando Valley! According to my real estate source, the Twilight actor and the singer/model have been touring homes in Studio City, California, specifically those that are in the Carpenter school district. Robert and Suki are big advocates of public schools, and want their child to eventually attend the Carpenter school in Studio City, which is one of the top rated public schools in the state – so that explains why they’re focusing their search in the somewhat unlikely area.

Beverly Hills Ivanka Trump Jared Kushner Real Estate

DOES IVANKA TRUMP DARE TO BUY A HOME IN BEVERLY HILLS?

Don’t tell her father, but Ivanka Trump is quietly looking for a home in Los Angeles. While her insecure dad Donald Trump continues to bash California and its governor, Gavin Newsom, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are house hunting in the Beverly Hills area. While Ivanka and Jared still plan to call Miami home, they seem to be spending more time on the West Coast, so they feel it makes sense to own a place here. The couple are making home sellers and realtors sign strict NDA’s since they don’t want to deal with the wrath of Donald if word got out they wanted to own a home in the state he seemingly hates. Too late! Our source who didn’t sign the agreement, blabbed!

Albuquerque Jeff Bezos Lauren Sanchez Real Estate

CAN LAUREN SANCHEZ AND JEFF BEZOS UNWIND IN ALBUQUERQUE?

Lauren Sanchez wants to go back to her roots. Even though she and her billionaire fiancé, Jeff Bezos, are relocating to an estate in Florida, they’re also secretly eyeing a large property in her hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico. According to an insider, Lauren has fond memories of the laid back southwestern lifestyle she enjoyed growing up and feels it will be the perfect place to own a home when she and Jeff want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and Miami. Money-wise, the sky’s the limit- especially since the most expensive property in the area right now is listed at under $8 million… basically pocket change for Jeff and Lauren.

and the Big Terrible Thing Book Condo Curse Matthew Perry Real Estate

MATTHEW PERRY’S REAL ESTATE IS SUFFERING – THANKS TO HIS BOOK

Is Matthew Perry’s former Century City condo cursed? In his autobiography, Friends, Lovers and The Big Terrible Thing, the late actor wrote about some DARK times in his penthouse condominium at The Century, one of the premier full service buildings in LA. Matthew eventually sold the condo to a tech billionaire, but the guy barely moved in before deciding it wasn’t for him, so he sold it to Rihanna for a loss. Now superstitious Rihanna isn’t sure SHE wants to move into the sprawling condominium, given the Matthew connection, so she’s thinking of selling it and might even have to take a loss. Even though he died elsewhere, the condo has a negative vibe since Matthew wrote about how unhappy he was there.
