HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Katy Perry was honored at the VMAs this past week with the Vanguard Award, (lifetime achievement) and Taylor Swift was seen in the audience singing and dancing along to the performance. This made headlines because the gals went from best friends to enemies after a well publicized spat over back-up dancers. They recently buried the hatchet, and there’s a reason Taylor was so animated in the audience while Katy performed – they are planning to do a DUET together. We just heard about the top secret plan and the single will be released in early 2025.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, the weeks’ biggest news was her endorsement of Kamala Harris. We recently revealed her boyfriend Travis Kelce was planning to follow in her footsteps and endorse the Democratic nominee as well, but we just heard that plan has hit a snag. Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and the owners are Trump supporters. Poor Travis is facing a real-life Sophie’s Choice, either disappoint his girlfriend or the people who sign his paycheck. My source says he is still hoping for a way to endorse Kamala without officially endorsing her, which means expect to see him at one of her upcoming rallies.

Selena Gomez made the news this week when it was revealed she was worth approximately $1 billion thanks to her line of beauty products. According to our source, Selena is wasting no time spending her newfound fortune. She just began looking at homes in Montecito, California, right down the street from where Oprah Winfrey resides. My source explains that her goal is to get married and have a child via surrogate in 2025 and she loves the idea of raising a family in the affluent coastal community.

Donald Trump made headlines for his disastrous debate performance against Kamala Harris and he just announced he won’t be participating in any more debates. We just heard this scoop though. Kamala had accepted a few offers to debate Trump on NBC and she still plans on showing up to spread HER message to the American people even if Trump is a no show.

Finally, Jennifer Lopez made headlines when she appeared in Toronto at her Unstoppable movie premiere alongside Matt Damon but without her estranged husband Ben Affleck. (Ben, Matt, and Jen all produced the film). J.Lo and Matt were seen clasping hands engulfed in conversation and we just heard they weren’t talking about their movie. My source says Matt is devastated that Ben and Jen are calling it quits and he was encouraging her to work it out. We have all seen Ben’s history of spiraling when he’s single, and Matt is fearful Ben will fall off the sober wagon once he faces the reality of being alone again. Jennifer still loves Ben but our source says his mood swings became too much for her to handle. The ONLY way she’s calling off the divorce is if he checks into a treatment center and gets his moods under control.

Ben Affleck Divorce Gwyneth Paltrow House Jennifer Lopez Real Estate

JENNIFER LOPEZ: IT’S A SMALL WORLD

If you don’t believe Hollywood is a very small place, your opinion might change after you read this item. Jennifer Lopez has been looking for a house to buy since she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. She often brings her mother along (above) to look at homes with her. It so happens, one of the houses she’s interested in belongs to one of Ben’s ex-girlfriends, Gwyneth Paltrow! The Goop founder is selling her $30 million Brentwood estate since she moved to Montecito. And get this… Gwyneth’s house is just a few steps away from the home Ben is now renting. As we told you, Hollywood is a small place – so if J.Lo buys Gwen’s house, she’ll be neighbors with Ben.

Condo Jennifer Lopez Real Estate

JENNIFER LOPEZ IS LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE

The state of their marriage remains up in the air, but whether she stays married or gets divorced, Jennifer Lopez is staying in Los Angeles. Jen and her estranged husband Ben Affleck recently listed their newly purchased Beverly Hills home for $68 million, and although they haven’t sold it yet, Ben has already moved on, purchasing a $20 million home on LA West side. Although Jen is spending most of her time in NYC and the Hamptons this summer, she has a real estate agent touring high-end luxury condominiums in LA for her. If she and Ben split, she’s likely to divide her time between Miami, New York, and Los Angeles and feels a condo in the Beverly Hills area with security will perfectly suit her needs. She hasn’t found anything yet, but is looking in the $15 million range.

Amber Heard Anne Heche Condo Curse Johnny Depp Real Estate

YOU CAN LIVE LIKE JOHNNY DEPP

Johnny Depp’s former condo in downtown Los Angeles’ Eastern Columbia Building is on the market for lease. The 2490 square-foot penthouse is being rented for $7500 per month and it’s the same unit where Johnny and his former wife, Amber Heard had many of their blowout fights. But here’s a more interesting fact that we never knew: Anne Heche rented the penthouse from Johnny just prior to her untimely death, and some residents in the building seem to feel the place is cursed.

Ben Affleck For Sale House Jennifer Lopez Real Estate Taylor Swift

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…
