Retire

TRAVIS KELCE: IS THERE LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL?

Anyone who watches football already knows  Travis Kelce didn’t have a noteworthy season opening game  against  the Baltimore Ravens on September 5. Although his team won, HIS performance on the field was underwhelming. According to my NFL source, Travis seems to be ready to check out of football and focus on his post life after professional sports. Not only did he and his brother Jason just sign a $100 million podcast deal, but he’s been inundated with job offers – thanks to his romance with Taylor Swift.  Travis has money-making offers pouring in – modeling jobs, a movie role, endorsement deals, and much more – but with his grueling football practices and games, Travis just doesn’t have the time, which is why he’s talking to pals about retiring. (my advice to Travis: retire the mustache!)

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Another whirlwind political week with the news that President Joe Biden was ending his campaign and all but anointed his successor, Vice President Kamala Harris. We are hearing that Hollywood was starting to abandon Joe after that scathing op-ed by George Clooney, but is now gearing up for the biggest star studded fundraiser EVER, to boost Kamala’s financial war chest. The details are still being sorted out, but according to my source it’s going to rival with Academy Awards with A-listers willing to contribute a minimum of $100,000 for an invite. We will share more details as we hear them.

Speaking of Joe Biden, now that he’s bowing out of the race and set to retire in January once his presidency is over, we just heard he’s planning a major change. Although Joe has called Delaware his home for most of his life, he wants to be closer to his California based son Hunter, so he’s already working with a top LA based realtor looking at suitable homes in the LA area. My source says that he wants to be on or near a beach and security is one of the concerns so he’s looking at gated waterfront properties from Orange County up through Santa Barbara.

Jennifer Aniston made headlines after she took to social media in a heartfelt post about women who can’t bear children after misogynistic comments from vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently resurfaced. Just heard from a well placed source that Jen, who usually stays away from the nastiness of politics, is now going all in for Kamala Harris and will soon appear alongside her at a political rally focusing on women’s reproductive rights.

Speaking of JD Vance, there are some rumblings that Donald Trump regrets listing to his son, Don Junior, who was pushing for Vance to be selected as the running mate. Our spot-on political source reports that there’s a plan being talked about to have Vance bow out of the campaign and claim a personal family matter is the reason. My source insists that Trump completely regrets choosing Vance, but if he decides not to replace him, you can expect to hear a lot less of JD on the campaign trial. As my source put it, Trump didn’t trust his instincts and was swayed by his son and now has serious second thoughts.

Enough politics -back to entertainment. Celine Dion made headlines for two things – performing at the Olympics and signing up for a residency at Resorts World in Las Vegas. What DIDN’T come out though, is what we just heard. She’s also recording a new album which will drop around the same time she kicks off her residency in Sin City.

And finally, as we exclusively reported, Leah Remini finally sold her Studio City, California home and we just heard she’s now looking for a new home in the LA Valley, but wants one in a guard gated community. Our source explains that Leah is still be hounded by her former pals in Scientology so that’s why she’s hypersensitive to make sure her new home has ample armed security guards.

VANNA WHITE: HER DAYS ARE NUMBERED TOO

Our game show source, yes we have one, just informed us that Vanna White is ALSO planning to retire from Wheel of Fortune after next season. Longtime host, Pat Sajak just announced that he’s stepping down next year after over 40 years on the popular show. Our source says Pat and Vanna made the decision to retire together and they also decided to let Pat announce it first and then Vanna will after. Pat started on the show a tad before Vanna so that’s why they decided it made sense. Our source is adamant THAT Vanna will make her retirement announcement soon. That’s TWO big jobs up for grabs!

JOHNNY KNOXVILLE: THIS IS WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Johnny Knoxville is looking like a million bucks in his monogramed sweater in the UK promoting his movie Jackass Forever because it is EARNING millions of bucks. Yes, the crude comedy is a hit for Paramount and pulled in 23.5 million in ticket sales the first weekend (with a 10 million dollar budget) – including medical treatments for the performers. Johnny did it again – this is the fourth installment in the Jackass franchise that started 12 years ago. The film was heavily promoted on TikTok and 68% of the audience so far is male – mostly ages 18-34. Johnny has 3 kids now and after suffering numerous injuries, says he plans to retire from appearing in future Jackass movies. His costars and friends insist “We’ve heard this before – he won’t be able to RESIST doing stunts.”

WHY DID CAMERON DIAZ RETIRE FROM ACTING – AND DISAPPEAR FROM PUBLIC LIFE?

Coincidentally or not, when Cameron Diaz married Benji Madden, she just about vanished from the face of the earth. Not long after, and for no apparent reason, she announced her retirement from acting. Has Benji Madden quietly taken control of her life? Cameron was a very successful Hollywood actress with more than 40 movies under her belt, and she amassed quite a lot of money. Certainly she can AFFORD to retire – but why would she? Not only has she barely left the house for the past few years, but at age 47 she suddenly announced she is a mother, and a baby girl appeared. The once friendly and talkative actress, who never appeared to be pregnant, is very secretive and won’t share any info about where the baby came from. She has changed – a lot. Mysterious Benji has always dated women who are famous and successful – but to his credit, everyone says he’s an exceptionally decent guy (doesn’t drink or do drugs) – despite his unfortunate penchant for facial hair and baseball caps. IS he influencing Cameron to give up her career? We think so.
