Taylor Swift

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Jamie Foxx was in the news for a few reasons. First, he finally admitted it was a stroke that landed him in the hospital last year. Loyal readers will know we hinted at that, and it was being talked about around Hollywood. He also made the news for an incident at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills where he got into a brouhaha with some of the crew members of Johnny Knoxville’s Jackass franchise over a penis shaped laser pointer. Here’s what we know. The entire fracas was filmed and if it is cleared by the company’s legal team, it could wind up in an upcoming Jackass special! My source says that Jamie was NOT in the joking mood that night, and overreacted to the gag. Now he is trying to make peace with Johnny’s team – as the LAST thing he wants of for the footage to be part of a movie!

Wendy Williams made the news after she was photographed on an electric mobility scooter in Miami while attending her son Kevin’s college graduation. We just heard that Wendy recently underwent an experimental (and expensive) medical treatment for her dementia which involves altering the temperature of the brain. My source says that the results were impressive and that’s why Wendy, who’s been a recluse for awhile, was able to get out and watch her son walk with his cap and gown. You can expect to see more of her as her treatment continues and condition hopefully improves.

Kylie Kelce made the news when the debut episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie, topped Joe Rogan in listeners. Here’s what we know. While we were pleasantly surprised when Kylie expressed her political views on the podcast (many assumed she was a Trumper, and that couldn’t be further from the truth) we won’t be surprised if Taylor Swift pops up on an upcoming episode – yes, people, it’s happening! For those who have been living under a rock, Kylie is married to retired pro footballer turned sportscaster Jason whose brother Travis is Taylor’s boyfriend. My source says that now that her Eras tour is over Taylor has agreed to appear on Kylie’s podcast and discuss her tour, her cats and of course Travis.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr were a big story this week when they reunited for a few songs during Paul’s concert in the UK. We can now share this. The surprise duet was only the beginning, and the former band mates are teaming up for the first time in decades to release a new single with all proceeds going to charity. My source says that this has been in the works for many years and it will be their gift, and a swan song to their legion of Beatles fans. If all goes according to their plan, the anticipated song should be released next summer.

The third season of White Lotus was in the headlines as its February 16 debut date and trailer were released. Here’s what we know. The star of season one and two, Jennifer Coolidge secretly filmed her cameo for season 3. Even though she died in the finale of the last season, she’s coming back in a flashback scene which will either be included in the season opener or final episode. The producers are debating on the final edit of the season and haven’t decided on where to include Jennifer’s surprise appearance. Unless something crazy happens in the editing room you can expect it.

Finally, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner were a big story as they were photographed together attending their kids’ school play. Here’s what we know. Loyal readers aren’t surprised that the Jens are friends, but we just heard that they are cohosting a Christmas party so that their respective children -who are all very close- can exchange gifts and celebrate together. As we previously reported, their kids have become siblings since their families were blended and just because J.Lo’s marriage to Ben Affleck didn’t work out, doesn’t mean their kids still aren’t close. It was both Jens who decided to put together a joint holiday celebration and while it might not happen on a Christmas Day, the entire crew will be spending at least part of the holiday celebrating together as a family.

Janet Charlton’s Hollywood wishes you a very Merry Christmas filled with good health, laughter, enough cookies and cocoa for Santa, and of course a juicy turkey dinner -and even juicier gossip!

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.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Britney Spears made headlines for her social media posts claiming she was moving to Mexico this week. Here’s what we know. Britney IS moving because she’s not thrilled living in her Calabasas, California home. But not to Mexico. Brit claims her current home has too many bad memories since lived there while under a conservatorship. She has always loved Mexico- specifically Cabo San Lucas- and while she did head there shortly after posting her “moving to Mexico” remarks, my source says she’s actually moving to Beverly Hills. Most likely Mulholland Estates, the gated community with breathtaking views of Los Angeles where she recently checked out a few homes. As for her wacky social media post, my source says that it’s just Britney’s odd sense of humor.

One of the biggest stories of the week has nothing to do with Hollywood or famous people but nonetheless there is a celebrity twist. UnitedHealth’s CEO, Brian Thompson was gunned down on the streets of Manhattan on December 4 and there are many unanswered questions. While we don’t know anything about this tragedy, we DO know this… Jeff Bezos IMMEDIATELY beefed up his security hours after the attack. Many are speculating the killing was in retaliation for someone being denied an insurance claim and Jeff, who launched Amazon, feared he could easily be the target of a disgruntled Amazon customer or former employee. And he’s not the ONLY one beefing up security. We also heard Elon Musk just added more muscle to his security team.

A pregnant Gisele Bundchen made the news when photos of her and her baby daddy, Joaquim Valente frolicking on the beach in Costa Rica. We just heard that the couple did more than vacation during their visit – they also toured beachfront homes for sale. Since Gisele is the one with far more money, she wants to purchase a vacation home with Joaquim in the affordable Central American country, so they will have a place together. As of now, Joaquim is living at Gisele’s properties in Miami and Brazil (both multimillion dollar properties that the fitness instructor couldn’t afford on his salary.) Gisele feels it will be healthier for their relationship if they own a home together within his means, and gorgeous properties in Costa Rica can be bought for far,far less than most other places, which is why she’s looking to put some roots down there.

Speaking of real estate, Meghan Markle made headlines this week when she was photographed at an event in Beverly Hills without her husband, Prince Harry. As we previously reported there’s no trouble in paradise. But we do know this. During her time in the 90210 zip code, Meghan toured a few condominiums as she and her Prince are still looking for a place in the Los Angeles area. Again, another scoop we had first. Meghan and Harry are keeping their estate in Montecito but still want a place to hang their hats (or in this case crowns) in Hollywood. I hear that Meg was particularly fond of the residences at the Four Seasons Hotel and plans to tour them again, this time with Harry.

Beyoncé made the news when Billboard announced her and NOT Taylor Swift as “the biggest popstar of this century.” Here’s what we know. It was actually Taylor who suggested Beyoncé get the top honor. My source says that Taylor wants to take some time away from her career now that her Eras tour is wrapping up. She had a whirlwind 12 months from being named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year, winning practically every major music award and of course, her record-breaking movie of her tour. She’s hoping to lie low for the next year or two and concentrate on getting married and starting a family with Travis Kelce. She knew she was all but a shoo-in for the Billboard honor so she had her people reach out and tell them she preferred they put the spotlight on someone else, suggesting Beyoncé.

Donald Trump dominated headlines with his controversial cabinet picks while his vice-president JD Vance has hardly been seen or heard. Here’s what we know. Attention loving Trump has instructed Vance to stay in the background and to get his permission before granting any interviews. My source says Donald loves the attention his cabinet picks are generating and even though some of them might not get approved by the Senate, he doesn’t care as long as he’s the top story. He doesn’t want the more articulate and educated Vance to overshadow him, so until further notice, he’s to stay in the background.

WILL TAYLOR SWIFT PERFORM AT TRUMP INAUGURATION?

This is hard to imagine. Will Donald Trump swallow his pride and ask Taylor Swift to perform at his upcoming inauguration? According to our source, many on Trump’s team think having Taylor perform would be the perfect olive branch to those who didn’t support his campaign (remember Taylor endorsed his opponent, Kamala Harris.) Some of his team have already reached out – Taylor said she would be willing to consider performing, but insisted Trump reach out to her personally. As of now he doesn’t seem keen to doing that, but he does want BIG name performers at his inauguration and Taylor is the BIGGEST star in the world – so he might change his tune.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the biggest stories of the week was Megan Fox’s pregnancy, which as you already know was OLD news to our readers since we had the exclusive scoop months ago. Here’s what we know. Megan hasn’t had the easiest of pregnancies and has suffered severe morning sickness as well as some issues with her breast implants. Also, the pregnancy, while planned, hasn’t eased her fears about her fiance Machine Gun Kelly’s roving eye. My source tattles that while the pregnancy has made their relationship stronger, Megan and MGK are still in relationship counseling to deal with trust issues.

Artem Chigvintsev made headlines for his unexpected return to Dancing with the Stars to commemorate the show’s 500th episode. Here’s what we are hearing. Although Artem was only featured in the audience, behind closed doors, plans are underway to bring him back next season as a professional dancer. Apparently producers figured out what we already heard – that Artem’s estranged wife, Nikki Garcia was more than likely the aggressor in their domestic dispute. This explains why Nikki wasn’t invited to be a part of the special episode even though she previously competed on the show.

Jessica Simpson and her husband Eric Johnson were all over the news for rumored marital problems. We are hearing that a divorce is all but inevitable and Jessica and Eric were hoping to keep things friendly and divorce WITHOUT hefty legal fees since they have a solid prenup already in place. Nonetheless, we are also hearing that their keeping it friendly plan has recently run into roadblocks, and both are attorney shopping JUST IN CASE they can’t work it out on their own.

Travis Kelce and his teammate Patrick Mahomes made the news for a scary reason – their mansions were broken into while they were on the road for an away game. Don’t think for a moment that this was lost on Travis’ better half Taylor Swift. We just heard that Taylor has beefed up HER security at all of her properties including her Beverly Hills home. Since her schedule is so public, she wants to make sure her properties are protected from intruders when she’s there and when she’s not.

Leonardo DiCaprio made headlines for his star studded 50th birthday party on November 9, which again was old news to loyal readers since we had this scoop months ago as well. We just heard this update. Now that he’s 50, Leo is fearing he’s losing his boyish looks, so days after his party he met with a top Beverly Hills plastic surgeon (Doc’s facelifts start at $150,000) for an initial consultation. I am hearing that Leo isn’t a fan of the aging process (who is?) and is planning to go under the knife before the end of the year or in early 2025. He wants something subtle, as he described it to a pal, like he “had a good night’s sleep”.

Finally, Ariana Grande seemed to be everywhere this week as she continues her around the world publicity tour for Wicked. Here’s what we know. Ariana has many vested interests in having this movie open to HUGE box office numbers. First, she wants to prove herself as an established actress, and second, she gets a sizable BONUS if the movie opens big. My source says Ariana took a deal that paid her less upfront with big bonuses based on the box office – which explains why Ariana is working her tail off to promote the flick. My source say it could wind up being the biggest movie of the year and make Ariana even wealthier than she already is.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

As more and more accusers come out against Sean Diddy Combs, we are hearing that Jennifer Lopez has now lawyered up as she’s anticipating getting dragged into the legal proceedings. Jennifer has been told to expect a subpoena and she’s quietly retained an attorney who specializes in these matters. We also heard Diddy is terrified that J.Lo could be the final nail in his coffin and he’ll never see freedom again.

Surprise, surprise! Donald Trump made the news again for another shocking reason. His former chief of staff, John Kelly revealed that Trump once invoked Adolf Hitler and wanted a military like he had. No surprise that pathological liar Trump DENIED the story, but we are hearing this. Allegedly an audio tape of the outburst exists, so don’t be too surprised if it gets released before Election Day. As my source puts it, any Jewish person who supports Trump now will likely have second thoughts once they hear the supposed recording.

Liam Payne’s drug fueled death in Buenos Aires is still dominating the headlines as more sordid details emerge. Here’s what we just heard. His former band, One Direction, is secretly planning to reunite for either a charity concert or a new song to raise money in Liam’s honor for mental health issues. It’s a huge secret and the countless details (not to mention egos) still need to be worked out, but behind closed doors the plan is being worked on.

Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Rashee Rice, made headlines when his mom, Marsha was charged with a misdemeanor – for allegedly swiping a package off of a neighbors’s porch. We heard that although Rashee is out for most of the season with an injury, he’s still attending games and the powers that be have made it clear he’s not to be photographed anywhere near Taylor Swift when she attends games. Interestingly enough, this edict didn’t come from Taylor’s people, but from the Chiefs execs as they don’t want to risk Taylor getting any bad publicity for attending games.

Renee Zellweger is standing by her man, Ant Anstead, who just made headlines amid his company’s bankruptcy filing and allegations of fraud on his part! Our well placed source reveals that Renee is opening up her pocketbook and offered to help Ant with the mounting expenses of the filing. Ant previously revealed that he sunk the vast majority of his money into the bespoke car company and Renee (who is much much wealthier) isn’t fazed that his fortunes could be changing. As my source explains, although they don’t have a marriage license, Renee basically considers herself married to Ant and that means for richer or poorer.

And finally the Kardashians made the news for filming a top secret project this week. While the open book family usually shares way too much information on everything, this time they’re being notoriously tight lipped. Here’s what we know. The project involving the entire family was a Super Bowl commercial. Remember those commercials are basically mini movies and cost millions to produce and millions more to air. The entire family -and of course everyone involved- had to sign NDA’s so while we don’t know for sure what product or company the spot is for we have heard some rumblings that it was a commercial for Amazon Prime. This makes perfect sense since Kim and her mom Kris Jenner are close to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Kanye West made the news because he’s decided to relocate to Tokyo, Japan. Here’s what we know. We heard about this months ago, but never wrote it because it seemed a little too far-fetched. We just heard Kanye is now battling Kim secretly for joint custody because he wants his kids to spend time in Japan and learn how to speak Japanese. Kim’s against the idea, so their lawyers are hashing it out.

Hurricane Milton was the story of the week as the tragedy devastated much of Florida. Florida native Ariana Grande still has relatives and home on the east side of the state which wasn’t nearly as affected, nonetheless we just heard she wrote $1 million check to the relief efforts. She is hoping to keep her generosity private – but our source couldn’t help telling us…

Speaking of Hurricane Milton, habitual liar Donald Trump spread lie after lie about the disaster, including that FEMA ran out of money to help the victims. We just heard his wife Melania told him in no uncertain terms to cut out the rhetoric when it comes to this tragedy. Melania is getting fed up with her husband and his nonstop lies. She recently hinted to a friend that if Donald loses the election, she’s likely to file for divorce

Taylor Swift was in the news for two reasons. First after a two week hiatus she attended her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s game, and second, she wrote a check for $5 million for Milton‘s relief efforts. We just heard though that’s only the tip of the iceberg for Taylor’s generosity. Once the dust settles in Florida, she’s planning a charity concert which will be streamed and all proceeds will go towards rebuilding the ravished cities. My source predicts Taylor could raise over $100 million!

And finally, Princess Kate Middleton made the news for one of her first public appearances since finishing her health treatments. We just heard that not only is Kate feeling better, but she’s secretly planning a royal visit to USA if Kamala Harris wins the presidential election. While the working royal can’t endorse a political candidate, we heard that she’s a huge fan of Kamala and wants to attend the inauguration if she’s elected.

TAYLOR SWIFT IS DETERMINED TO GET KAMALA HARRIS ELECTED

Not only has Taylor Swift endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for President, but she’s also already agreed to PERFORM at her inauguration if she wins the election! According to my inside source, Taylor will be the main headliner if Kamala is sworn is as the 47th – and first female – US President. Not only that, but she’s also working to put together a live performance to raise money for Kamala’s campaign.

TRUMP’S ANTI -TAYLOR SWIFT STANCE IS CAUSING PROBLEMS

As if the above fake social media post wasn’t bad ENOUGH, Donald Trump somehow thought it would a good idea to blast on social media “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” (all caps) after Taylor endorsed his opponent, Kamala Harris, for President. My undercover political insider revealed that many of Trump’s advisors, including his own daughter, Ivanka flipped OUT over the childish and completely unnecessary statement. Ivanka was one of the first to phone her father and tell him she disapproved of his anti-Taylor statement and urged him to take it down. (Remember, it was just this past July that Ivanka celebrated her daughter Arabella‘s 13th birthday with a Taylor Swift inspired cake!) Ivanka is desperately trying to reclaim her social standing and the last thing she wants to be associated with is her father talking smack about the world’s most popular performer.

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.
