Trial

ALEC BALDWIN IS NOT OFF THE HOOK YET

Alec Baldwin’s criminal days are behind him after a judge in New Mexico tossed out his case and ruled it cannot be tried again, but that doesn’t mean he’s seen the last of a courtroom. Not only is Alec facing a civil trial, but he’s also been told to expect a subpoena in the case of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer who was convicted in her case regarding the same shooting on the set of their movie Rust. If a judge doesn’t toss out Hannah’s conviction it will be appealed and Alec will be forced to testify. Although he’s eager to put the entire tragedy behind him and working to settle the civil case, he won’t be able to worm his way out of being a witness if Hannah’s conviction is appealed in court.

Alec Baldwin Donald Trump Politics Trial

ALEC BALDWIN DOESN’T WANT A MAGA JURY

Alec Baldwin‘s trial on involuntary manslaughter charges is set to begin July 9, and according to our insider, the defense attorneys want to poll prospective jurors on what they think about Donald Trump. Not only did Alec portray an unflattering version of Donald on Saturday Night Live, but he’s been outspoken regarding his disdain for him. Alec’s defense attorneys are hoping to persuade the judge to allow jurors to be polled on their political leanings and whether they support Trump, even though the trial has nothing to do with politics. Remember where you read this if the judge allows this unconventional line of questioning during the process of selecting jurors!

Donald Trump Lawyer Postpone Trial

DONALD TRUMP IS SCHEMING TO GET HIS TRIAL DELAYED UNTIL AFTER ELECTION

Remember WHERE you read this. According to my source, Donald Trump has a trick up his sleeve to delay or postpone his ongoing criminal trial. My source reveals that Donald‘s latest tactic involves getting his attorneys FIRED or having them QUIT, if he doesn’t like the way his current trial in Manhattan is proceeding. His goal has always been to delay, delay, delay, so don’t be surprised if there is a sudden and unexpected announcement that he needs to delay the trial until AFTER the November election in order to hire new legal representation.

Alec Baldwin Billie Eilish Choir Divorce Meghan Markle Teacher Trial

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Alec Baldwin recently filed a motion to dismiss the charges he’s facing in the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but here’s what we know. Behind closed doors Alec’s legal team is hoping to negotiate a plea deal involving no jail time, a clear record, community service and a HUGE donation. Alec is concerned that a jury found armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty in the case, so he’s secretly done a 180 and instructed his high-priced lawyers to make a deal!

Last Sunday Billie Eilish named dropped her former choir teacher, Mandy Bringham, when she won her second Oscar for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For, from the Barbie movie. Other media outlets tracked down the teacher but only WE will tell you that Billie personally reached out to Mandy days after the historic win, and the two are getting together in the near future. Our source says Billie plans to offer Mandy a job on her team as, what else, a vocal coach.

For reality TV fans, the buzz this week was the final reunion episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the current state of OG star, Kyle Richard’s marriage to estranged husband Maurico Umansky. We can tell you this tidbit: Despite Kyle not revealing many deets on the reunion, our well placed source says that marriage is kaput and a very friendly divorce is being negotiated. If there’s any divorce drama it will only be manufactured for next season of RHOBH, but the soon-to-be exes have already decided who gets what and may plan to live together as friends for a bit until their youngest daughter Portia turns 18 in two years.

Meghan Markle made headlines when she debuted a new website which she eventually will use to hawk merchandise. Way back in November, we told you that Meghan and Harry were looking at wineries to sell their own wine and this latest venture goes along with that. Meghan hopes to be the next Martha Stewart and build an empire based around her kitchen skills, including her own wine as well as olive oils, jams, cookbooks, etc. Our source adds this tidbit you will only read here – Meghan’s Montecito neighbor and good pal Oprah Winfrey is an angel investor in the project.

Amber Heard Johnny Depp Spain Trial

AMBER HEARD IS BECOMING RESTLESS IN SPAIN

Sin Since her disastrous trial with ex Johnny Depp, Amber Heard has been hiding out quite happily in Spain with her toddler daughter Oonagh (?) Yes, that’s her name. Hopefully it sounds better spoken than it looks in print. Between her successful first trial in the UK and the painful second one in the USA, Amber managed to film a movie “In the Fire,” that just premiered at the Taormina Film Festival in Italy. Fortunately no loud Johnny Depp fans turned up to torment her. She happily greeted her own fans (above) and announced that she does NOT plan to retire from film-making. She intends to settle things with Depp and proceed with her career. Meanwhile, her other movie Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will be released later this year.

Donald Trump E. Jean Carroll Hair! Rape Trial

E. JEAN CARROLL WON’T LET TRUMP GET AWAY WITH IT

This one is a bit tricky since it involves an alleged rape and the last thing we want to do is victim shame. E. Jean Carroll, the woman accusing Donald Trump of raping her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990’s, recently took the stand in the tantalizing trial looking different. Before the trial, she changed her hairstyle back to how she wore it when she alleges the rape occurred. An associate pointed out that up until recently, Carroll sported a sensible short hairstyle (above left) with a sprinkling of gray, but she showed up at trial with a blonde bob cut, much like her look in the 1990’s – and she appears younger . The associate speculates that this is a direct response to Trump’s insulting claims that she was “NOT HIS TYPE.” The insider says the short hair made E. Jean look a bit plain, but the longer bob has softened and feminized her appearance – and perhaps beefed up her courage…

Alec Baldwin Friends Halyna Hutchins Manslaughter Trial

ALEC BALDWIN WILL GET A LITTLE HELP FROM HIS FRIENDS

Alec Baldwin is counting on his celebrity friends to help him beat involuntary manslaughter charges! An insider says Alec is determined to prove he wasn’t responsible for the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie, Rust, and he plans on the help of his famous friends to prove his innocence. According to an insider, a plea deal was floated around before the formal charges were filed on Jan 31, but Alec is determined to FIGHT the case and he’s relying on many of his fellow actors to testify if the case goes to trial. The insider predicts that Alec’s trial will have more movie stars than the Academy Awards. Alec hopes having many big name actors testify about gun use on movie sets will sway the jury in his favor. Many of his A-list pals have already agreed to testify on his behalf if needed.

Amber Heard Defamation Gloria Steinem Johnny Depp Trial

THANK YOU GLORIA STEINEM!

It’s ABOUT TIME. Gloria Steinem and many other domestic abuse experts have come together in public support of Amber Heard. After Amber wrote an essay in the Washington Post about her domestic abuse (without naming her ex Johnny Depp)- he sued her for defamation and he WON. Steinem and 130 other experts and organizations published an open letter in which they agree that defamation suits are being MISUSED to SILENCE survivors. They also blasted social media for mocking Amber’s allegations of violence and abuse. (victim shaming) Anybody who read Depp’s revolting emails knows he was abusive. It has been five months since this appalling Virginia trial and we are delighted that Steinem and other experts have taken a stand. Amber moved to Spain with her daughter after the trial – now she can return with more confidence.

Danny Masterson Rape Scientology Trial

DANNY MASTERSON AND SCIENTOLOGY ON TRIAL

Surely, you have seen the extravagant ad promoting Scientology on TV lately. It opens with “Church” Leader David Miscavige (above) standing in a large light-filled modern building with good looking young people milling around, while discussing the virtues of the organization. It so happens Scientology is in bad shape right now. The Bass VS Caruso mayoral ads cast a bad light on Scientology- but the Danny (That 70’s Show) Masterson rape trial promises to be even worse for Scientology’s reputation. The three women accusing Scientologist Masterson of rape (happened back in the early 2000’s) are former Scientologists who were warned by their “church” not to go to police but “let the church handle it.” Scientology always PROTECTS its celebrity members. The women say they were harassed and threatened by the “church” until they LEFT, and finally DID go to police. The women claim they are STILL being stalked and tormented by the “church” as the trial continues. Hopefully, Masterson will get what he deserves- and Scientology will too.

"A Streetcar Named Desire" Danny Masterson Leah Remini Rape Scientology Trial

LEAH REMINI WANTS JUSTICE AND SHE WANTS IT NOW!

Former Scientologist Leah Remini is our hero this week. She has been reportedly doing everything she can to see that Danny “That 70’s Show” Masterson goes on trial for three counts of rape – at least that’s what Masterson is claiming. Today Masterson was in court for a pre-trial hearing before a judge to decide if the case will go to court. Scientologist Masterson has hired one of the world’s most expensive lawyers, Tom Mesereau (OJ Simpson and Michael Jackson’s lawyer.) It’s estimated that Michael Jackson paid Mesereau 100 million dollars in his child sex case! Do you suppose the church of Scientology is helping pay for this? If Masterson is found guilty it will be a huge blow to the church – you can read a detailed account of the hearing on Tony Ortega’s blog.
