Ring

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The Malibu fire was one of the biggest stories coming out of Hollywood this week and here’s what we know. While it was reported that Cher had to evacuate her beachfront mansion, what WASN’T reported was that she picked up the tab for some less affluent residents to stay at a hotel a few miles down from the evacuation zone in nearby Santa Monica. My source says that when Cher heard through the grapevine that a few older residents were being brought to shelter, she arranged to pick up their tab for a hotel until the area was safe to return to and insisted on doing her good deed anonymously.

Selena Gomez had an especially good week, getting engaged and getting a Golden Globe nomination for Only Murders in the Building. While she posted a massive diamond engagement ring from new fiance Benny Blanco, we just heard that this wasn’t the first ring he used to pop the question. Benny actually proposed weeks before, but the ring he had custom made wasn’t ready, so he used a lab created diamond ring and explained that her actual ring was on the way. My source says that Benny wanted to propose on a specific day and time since he’s big into numerology, so that’s why he was forced to use a substitute ring when he asked Selena to marry him.

Donald Trump Jr. made the news after he ended his engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle and went public with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. While this is hardly news to our loyal readers (since we wrote up this months ago) we just heard this: No sooner did Junior officially dump Kim, but he’s now planning to propose to Bettina and he wants a White House wedding in 2025! My inside source reveals that Donald Sr. LOVES the idea of having his son marry in the White House.

Taylor Swift was talked about this week since her highly successful Eras tour just ended. We just heard that while Taylor is taking some time off from performing her hiatus won’t be that long. She’s working on a pay per view live concert from Las Vegas which will likely take place in mid 2025 if all of the arrangements can be worked out.

Another huge story of the week was Megan Fox dumping her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly even though she’s nearly in her third trimester of pregnancy with his baby. We had the scoop that she was pregnant and we also had the scoop she was having a girl. Here’s what we know. While we also previously reported that the couple were still having some issues we just heard that Megan is planning to sue for full custody and child support and my source says she’s confident she will get it because she allegedly has some very unflattering information on MGK. My source adds that this split was a long time coming and that Megan and MGK are now only communicating through their respective attorneys.

Finally, Donald Trump made headlines for so many reasons including being named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. Here’s the latest on Donald. He’s always been like a month to a flame when it comes to people who have more money and social standing than he does, and now he’s finally being welcomed into their social circles. My source says that behind the scenes, a campaign is being conducted to butter him. up. Donald was even invited to become a member of The Union Club, one of the oldest and most exclusive social clubs in NYC. Ironically, Donald is the only Republican president whose portrait isn’t hanging in the club, but all of that is about to change since people have seemed to finally figure out the easiest way to manipulate narcissist Donald is to shower him with compliments.

PARIS HILTON WANTS US TO BELIEVE HER FIANCEE CAN AFFORD A 2 MILLION DOLLAR RING


Apparently the idea of three pregnant Kardashians pretending NOT to want publicity was more than Paris Hilton could tolerate. Ever since the Kardashians rose to reality stardom and bumped Paris off the gossip pages, she’s been privately irritated. Being the “it girl” was fun, not only did she have paparazzi following her everywhere, but her fame brought her tons of money in perfume deals, etc. Paris decided the time was right for a comeback, so she arranged to have her “surprise?” engagement to actor Chris Zylka artfully photographed with an appealing Aspen background and distributed. As if that weren’t tasteless enough, she had the PRICE of her ring advertised everywhere by the publicity hungry jeweler – c’mon, does anybody really believe it’s worth two million dollars? And where would the not-so-famous actor Zylka get anywhere NEAR that kind of money?

KRIS HUMPHRIES TRIUMPH: KIM GAVE THE RING BACK!

According to our determined colleague CJ of the Star-Tribune in Minneapolis, (Kris Humphries’ home town) a humongous diamond ring estimated to be worth around two million dollars, is about to be auctioned off at Christie’s in New York. And it is the same Lorraine Schwartz ring that Kim Kardashian had on her finger and refused to return when she left Kris and called off her 72 day marriage. Apparently she DID return the ring because she wanted to finalize the divorce in a hurry. We – and Kris- will be interested to see what the ring is worth today.

JENNIFER ANISTON DOESN’T WANT TO COMPETE IN THE ENGAGEMENT RING OLYMPICS

#jenniferaniston #janetcharlton

We’re not surprised that Jennifer Aniston isn’t thrusting her new engagement ring in paparazzi faces. It seems we’ve gotten accustomed to shallow celebrities who only feel worthy if they have a gigantic ring bigger than anyone else’s to prove their superiority. It’s a vulgar display of one-up-manship when the real issue should be love and happiness. Of course, Kim Kardashian and her exaggerated million dollar ring is a prime example of that type of vanity. Look how long her showy marriage lasted. Jennifer doesn’t need her ego inflated with a jumbo ring. She’s happy with her man, Justin Theroux, and whatever he gave her. (Above, Jennifer is running lines with Emma Roberts and Jason Sudeikis for “We’re The Millers.”)

ANGELINA’S RING WAS WORTH WAITING A YEAR FOR

We’ve seen a lot of oversize diamond rings flashed around Hollywood and they all supposedly had astronomical prices. It was doubtful that the gems were top quality and obviously the value was exaggerated. BIG isn’t everything. Angelina Jolie’s engagement ring is different. It’s spectacular in its design simplicity and obvious quality and almost has an art deco feeling. Brad did an artful job of designing – it’s even better than the ring he did for Jennifer Aniston. And nobody’s bragging about the high price. This exquisite ring is going to be knocked off like crazy – somebody in China is probably already wearing one.

KAT VON D WON’T GIVE THE RING BACK TO CHEATER JESSE JAMES

Kat Von D has nineteen reasons to keep the 4.5 karat Neil Lane engagement ring that Jesse James gave her and she’s gonna put up a fight. She called off their engagement when she caught him cheating, but recently tweeted that she has discovered a total of 19 different women that he fooled around with with during the year they were together. Now she’s REALLY angry. She kept the ring when they split and Jesse is demanding it back. Kat won’t budge and friends predict the battle will get ugly.
