Travis Kelce

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.

TRAVIS KELCE’S CLOSET IS A DISASTER

Travis Kelce has a wardrobe of new designer clothes. Thanks in part to his romance with Taylor Swift, fashion designers are clamoring to dress the professional football player. He’s become a fashion plate and rarely wears the same thing twice, but the unexpected consequence is that he has too many clothes and not enough closet space. Not a problem – Travis is teaming up with an online reseller to auction off the items he no longer needs, and plans to donate all proceeds to various charities including one close to Taylor’s heart, an animal rescue sanctuary. In his rare spare time, he’s sorting through mountains of clothes, editing things that he plans to sell.

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.

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!)

WE TOLD YA SO!

WAY back in July, we told you that Vice President Kamala Harris was working to get Taylor Swift’s endorsement, and that it would happen sometime in early October or right before. It so happens our very well placed source could NOT have been more spot on, as Taylor just endorsed Kamala today. (See link below.) Now we are hearing that Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, will be NEXT in line to endorse Kamala. Once again, if you want the hottest gossip FIRST – continue reading this website!

WHY TAYLOR SWIFT AND BRITTANY MAHOMES APPEAR FRIENDLIER

Don’t think for a second that Taylor Swift is buddy buddy with MAGA lover, Brittany Mahomes just because the gals were photographed hugging over the past weekend at the US Open. (above) Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and Brit’s husband Patrick are not only Kansas City Chiefs, teammates they’re ALSO best friends, and the feud among their better-halves became a problem. My source explains that Travis persuaded Taylor to be friendly with Brit, but only within her comfort zone. Meaning this: They aren’t hanging out (which is why they didn’t have a group dinner together while in NYC) but they will be friendly to each other in public situations. As we previously reported, Taylor cooled on Brit months ago, fearing she was a social climber and her seemingly endorsement of Donald Trump was the final straw.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Travis Kelce and his brother Jason made headlines this week with their $100 million podcast deal with Amazon, but we just heard, however, that their payday will substantially INCREASE if they persuade Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to appear on the show. No surprise there. Taylor’s presence at NFL games last season pulled in tons of new viewers, and the thinking behind the bonus incentive is that Taylor can do the same for the podcast.

Justin Theroux was talked about this week when we heard about his engagement to actress Nicole Bloom. We know this: Before Justin and Nicole announced their engagement, he reached out to his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, and broke the news to her himself. According to my well placed source, Justin and Jen remain good friends even though their marriage didn’t last, and that’s why he gave her the heads up. She is genuinely happy that he’s found someone to share his life with, so don’t fall for the soon-to-be tabloid stories claiming she’s distraught. She’s not!

This week Armie Hammer was all over the news when he revealed he was selling his beloved truck because he couldn’t afford the gas. Loyal readers will remember we were the first to report about his financial struggles. We just heard this interesting update: Now that Armie has a regular car, he’s planning to make some money as an Uber driver! As shocking as that sounds, remember, Armie previously held a job selling timeshares. According to my source, Arnie’s incredibly wealthy family isn’t helping him, so he’s determined to prove to them, and to the world, that he doesn’t need their financial support.

Who is surprised that narcissistic Donald Trump was in the news yet again for more bad behavior? This time Donald made headlines for his inappropriate conduct at Arlington National Cemetery where he turned a solemn moment into a manufactured political stunt. Donald may not be too happy to find out what we just heard. One of the families of the soldiers buried there is gearing up to sue him and his campaign for the unauthorized photography of the grave. That is strictly for prohibited by national law.

In unpleasant news, Dancing With The Stars regular Artem Chigvintsev made headlines when he was arrested and charged with domestic violence and spousal abuse. Not a fun subject to gossip about, but nonetheless here’s what we know. The argument between Artem and his wife (and assumed victim) Nikki Garcia aka Nikki Bella that started the incident was over an infidelity. Our source didn’t know who accused who of cheating, but that was rumored to be what caused the situation to escalate and reportedly get physical.

And finally our gal Kamala Harris made the news for making news! She granted her first interview since becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate to CNN and we just heard this. She’s lining up more sit-downs with other networks, including the conservative FOX News. Expect to see her upcoming interviews after the September presidential debate.

DON’T MESS WITH TRAVIS KELCE

Apparently there’s a downside to dating Taylor Swift – it’s EXPENSIVE. Just ask Travis Kelce. Ever since Taylor and Travis went public with their romance, he’s been living large to keep up with her costly lifestyle. As unexpected as it sounds, the pro footballer, who’s over 220 pounds of solid muscle, recently told a friend that one of his biggest expenses since dating Taylor has been for additional security. Although he’s a lean, mean fighting machine on the football field, Travis now travels with discreet bodyguards. These guards are always careful to stay OUT of the photographer’s frame to protect his macho image. According to my source, Travis was initially AGAINST the idea, but Taylor insisted and now he’s tailed by professional bodyguards when he’s in public.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Mere days after George Stephanopoulos interviewed President Joe Biden the seasoned ABC journalist was caught on tape by a supposedly random pedestrian in NYC saying that there was no way Biden could serve another 4 years given his condition. Immediately after the tape was released by TMZ, George backpedaled and said he shouldn’t have commented. Here’s what we know: My inside source says that George felt like an accomplice going along with the narrative that Biden is fine and that the heavily edited interview didn’t show how cognitively impaired Biden is. While this is PURE SPECULATION on the part of my source, the theory is that the entire street incident was a setup so that George could clear his conscience and let the world know exactly how he feels since he was barred from speaking out by the network.

Britney Spears made the news for ending her seemingly toxic relationship with her maintenance man turned lover Paul Soliz. As we previously reported, Britney is now online looking for love. We just heard though that Britney is planning to ask for a restraining order against Paul since he allegedly keeps contacting her in hopes of reconciling. THAT’S the real reason Britney asked her brother Bryan to move in. My source adds that if Paul doesn’t go away peacefully, a restraining order is in the works.

Nicolas Cage’s son Weston was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly assaulting his mom, Christina Fulton. We are hearing that although Christina was photographed bruised and battered, she is REFUSING to cooperate with the police investigation and let’s face it, a crime without a victim is going to be hard to prosecute. We also heard that after years of bad blood Nic and Christina are learning to co-parent their 33-year-old son and that Nic paid for Weston’s bail and is also paying for Christina’s attorney as she refuses to cooperate with law enforcement.

We just heard this tidbit. Hours after George Clooney’s scathing OP-ED piece in the NY TIMES urging President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential election, George sent flowers to the White House and tried calling Biden to explain his reasoning. The call was not put through and the flowers were rejected. The flowers being rejected is a standard security procedure since George didn’t give the White House a heads up to expect a delivery, but my source says George was shocked the president wouldn’t take his call so he could explain his position.

Finally, Travis Kelce was caught on a hot mic blabbing that the Super Bowl suite he got for his girlfriend Taylor Swift and his family cost $3 million. No disrespect to Travis, as we’re sure suites ARE that pricey. BUT we previously told you that Travis got the suite for FREE from the team, the NFL, and the network, because they all wanted Taylor to attend! As we reported, football has never been so popular and is reaching an entirely new audience – thanks to Taylor and her Swifties. The powers that be knew the value in having her at the biggest game of the year. We are also hearing that Taylor is adjusting her schedule to appear at most of Travis’ games this upcoming season, and once again the NFL is rolling out the red carpet to get her there. So while Travis is a good guy, he just might NOT be the big spender he implies that he is.

TAYLOR AND TRAVIS HAVE NFL PLANS

Remember where you read this, because it won’t happen until Travis Kelce retires from professional football. My well placed source reveals that Travis’ long term plan is to play for the Kansas City Chiefs a few more years and then, of course, focus on a career in Hollywood. But that’s only half the story. Travis’s dream is to become a part owner of an NFL team and since his expected future-wife, Taylor Swift, is a multi-billionaire, they’ve already agreed to make that goal a part of their future. As my source puts it, Taylor’s 10-year plan is to get married, have a few kids and then retire from performing, so co-owning an NFL team with her husband fits perfectly into her plan.
