HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW
King Charles’ health made the news after he appeared in public over the recent holidays looking ashen. Our well placed Royal source reveals that there’s a PLAN in place to have Charles step aside later this year and have his son Prince William become King. There’s a whole bunch of formalities to sort through, and in addition William wants to make sure his wife, Kate (who had her own health battle in 2024) is up for the task since she will be crowned queen. As of now though we hear the plan is for Charles to announce his decision to step aside within the upcoming months.
Donald Trump Jr. rang in 2025 with his new girlfriend, Palm Beach socialite, Bettina Anderson at the annual NYE party at Mar-A-Lago while his former fiancé Kimberly Guilfoyle was nowhere in sight. Here’s what we know. Kimberly cashed out when she agreed to walk away silently from the romance, securing not only an ambassadorship but also a large lump sum payment, AND a solemn promise that the Trump family would introduce her to an eligible bachelor. My source says that before Kim agreed not to cause any problems she insisted on the cash payout and at least a few introductions to powerful and wealthy men. Wealthy bachelors beware!
Meghan Markle made headlines for her new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan where the royal-by-marriage will share lifestyle tidbits. Here’s what we know. This is only the START in Meg’s quest to become the next Martha Stewart. She’s frantically taking meetings with major retailers as she hopes to expand her brand into everything from beauty products and pet food to furniture and fashion. My source says Meg is also eyeing retail locations in upscale areas (your neighborhood?) to open pop up stores to launch her products.
Armie Hammer appeared on a podcast this week to discuss his sexual proclivities and reveal what really happened when he was all but canceled. Armie also mentioned that he’s working on his comeback (old news to our readers) but we just heard this: Armie has had a few top secret meetings with Netflix. (to their credit, they never back away from scandal or buy into cancel culture) We hear that the streaming giant is trying to figure out a place for Armie whether it be a scripted series or a biopic on his life. One way or the other, expect to hear Armie and Netflix teaming up on an upcoming project.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made headlines for finally settling their divorce 8 years after splitting up. We just heard that as part of the deal both agreed NOT to badmouth the other, but their CHILDREN are free to speak their minds. Their infamous fight aboard a private jet where Brad was allegedly drunk and physical has never truly been discussed, but that could all change. Since the kids retained the right to speak up that’s exactly what is likely to happen. We hear that the oldest, Maddox, is pushing to tell the world everything about the incident – as well as what it was like having Brad as an adopted dad. Naturally Brad is dreading the thought and hopes to leave the past in the past, but for now, Maddox and some of the other kids want to talk. (Dare we assume Angelina is encouraging them?)
