Travis Kelce

TRAVIS KELCE IS NOW A MODEL

It so happens that a disappointing football season is over, and Travis Kelce has a decision to make. Will he retire from the NFL or return for another season? Whether he leaves or stays, his next gig is already lined up. Travis, who’s become quite the risk taker when it comes to his wardrobe, has been tapped to become the first celebrity MODEL for the high-end men’s clothing line, Amiri. Travis is a fan of the label and even wore their 1970’s inspired outfits to the Super Bowl. After a few weeks of much needed rest and relaxation from the physically demanding football season, Travis is scheduled to shoot the ad campaign in and around Los Angeles in early March.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the biggest stories of the week was A$AP ROCKY’s ongoing criminal trial and Rihanna making an appearance. Here’s what we know. Days before the trial started the rapper gave RiRi a tennis necklace dripping with over 100 carats of diamonds. My source says the gift was an apology for putting her through the stress of a criminal trial. Even though he insists he is innocent, Rocky knows attending a criminal trial is the last place Rihanna wants to be, so THAT’S why he surprised her with the expensive trinket.

The tragic mid-air plane collision above Washington D.C. wasn’t a Hollywood story, but there is a celebrity angle. We just heard that many professional figure skaters, including Nancy Kerrigan, are planning a fundraising performance to raise money for the victims families. (many were figure skaters returning from an event in Wichita, Kansas) Nancy is keeping it a secret, but is telling pals that she’s considering inviting her arch rival Tonya Harding to join her on the ice. Anyone over 40 will remember their skating feud was one of the biggest scandals of the 1990s, when Nancy was whacked in the knee with a baseball bat by the then-husband of Harding. Nancy believes that reuniting with Tonya could raise MILLIONS for the air crash victims so she’s willing to consider it.

White Lotus was in the news when creator Mike White revealed the latest installment has a character who may rival fan favorite Jennifer Coolidge’s iconic performance. What Mike didn’t reveal though, is that he’s partnering with The Four Seasons hotel chain, and parlaying the successful series into a vacation package. While the details are still being worked out, the plan is to have some of the cast from the first season host a weekend at the chain’s Maui location, and then the cast from season two will host a similar event at the chain’s Sicily location. Before you start booking your trip, my insider source says that the immersive experience won’t be cheap and could go for $10,000 per person or more!

Kansas City Chiefs made the news for cinching another trip to the Super Bowl and of course their star player, Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift dominated the headlines. Unlike last season when Taylor was on tour and had to fly halfway around the world to attend the big game, this time around she has a break in her schedule. So win or lose, immediately after the game we know that she and Travis are jetting off on a tropical vacation (we are hearing Bora Bora) and my source says that all signs point to then getting engaged while they are there. In case you were wondering, Travis already has the ring.

Finally, RFK JR. and his cousin Caroline Kennedy were in the news after she penned and published a letter urging the Senate not to confirm his as US Secretary of Health and Human Services. Here’s what we know. Caroline beefed up her personal security immediately after releasing that letter because she was concerned some MAGA maniac would target her for going against the wishes of Donald Trump. Ironically, it was her former cousin-in-law, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who suggested she temporarily add more security until the confirmations are over and the dust has settled.

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.
