Vacation

WE TOLD YA SO!

On June 7 in our seemingly popular Here’s What We Know feature we revealed that Jennifer Lopez was planning a summer vacation now that she canceled her music tour. It only took them 10 days, but People magazine just confirmed our scoop. (See link below) What People didn’t know is that J.Lo plans to spend part of the summer traveling with her kids but will definitely meet up with Ben Affleck and his kids and turn it into a make or break summer vacation. They’re both hoping to save their marriage and this vacation, if it turns out as planned, could be just the thing.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW:

Kate Middleton continues to be MIA, and her absence this week at the 80th celebration for D-Day in France was just the latest since her health battle began. Here’s what we know. Kate isn’t out of the woods yet, but she’s on her way to recovery. Although her stamina is improving she’s been advised by her doctors to avoid all public gatherings since her immune system is compromised while she undergoes treatment. Once her treatment concludes, she’s vowing to make up for lost time and resume her duties.

We’ve continued to update you on the trials and tribulations Leah Remini has been dealing with as she struggles to unload her Studio City, California home. We recently heard this tidbit. Leah just replaced her former realtors at Compass with Josh and Matt Altman, better known as the Altman Brothers. My source says the brothers have vowed to get to the bottom of it, and find out if Leah’s former associates in Scientology are behind the issues she’s been experiencing.

Melania Trump just dropped this bombshell on her husband Donald: If he recaptures the White House he shouldn’t expect her to join him in relocating to Washington DC. Win or lose, Melania’s plan is to divide her time between New York City and Palm Beach. She doesn’t have much interest in life in DC, especially now that her son Barron will be off at college. As my source puts it, the last thing she wants to do is be trapped in the White House with her husband and not her son.

Jennifer Lopez dominated the headlines this week after canceling her concert tour and vowing to spend more time with her family. As we previously reported J.Lo’s priority is to save her marriage to Ben Affleck. We just heard this update. Jen and Ben are planning a family vacation combining all of their kids, as soon as Ben wraps up his currently filming movie, a sequel to his successful 2016 film, The Accountant. My source says it will be a make or break vacation and will likely determine if they stay together.

And finally, last week we told you that Jean Smart’s MAX series, Hacks, was being renewed for season four. Soon after other outlets picked up our scoop and the streaming giant confirmed it. Here’s an update: Jean is hoping to reunite with her former Designing Women costar, Annie Potts next season. A role for Annie is currently being written, but Jean doesn’t want to jump the shark and make it a cliche. She has wanted to reunite with Annie for the longest time, so the writers are working overtime coming up with something worthy.

THE BRADY BUNCH IN PORTOFINO

America’s picture-perfect family is vacationing in Italy and the other tourists are delighted to see them there. Believe it or not, visitors tend to ignore Gisele Bundchen and beg Tom Brady for selfies -he amiably obliges. And SHE is the most successful Supermodel in the world! The Bradys have 2 kids together- Vivian, 9, and Benjamin, 12, and they couldn’t get enough of the Italian ice cream. Gisele indulged also. Tom has another son, Jack, 14, with actress Bridget Moynahan. That’s quite a story-Tom had split from Bridget and started dating Gisele when he learned Bridget was pregnant. Gisele hung in there anyway (says she loves Jack) and she and Tom got married. Happy ending – Bridget married someone else too.

KRISTIN CAVALLARI’S PRE-DIVORCE VACATION FAILED

It looks like Kristin Cavallari arranged to take a pre-divorce vacation with her husband Jay Cutler just like Jennifer Aniston did before she filed for divorce from Brad Pitt. Jennifer had used her beach vacation with Brad to clarify her unhappiness with their marriage, and explain why and how their split should be handled. He was blindsided, but later admitted he had gotten lazy about their relationship and had it coming. Their split would have been relatively painless but Brad started his next movie immediately after he returned from that vacation. His costar Angelina Jolie entered the picture way too soon and swept lonely Brad off his feet. Still, their divorce was totally civilized – no accusations or name-calling. Apparently Kristin and Jay’s Bahamas vacation (during quarantine) wasn’t as productive and accusations have only just begun…

SIMON COWELL IS IN NO DANGER OF DROWNING

Year after year, like clockwork, Simon Cowell, 59, spends the Christmas holidays in Barbados. In years past he vacationed with various girlfriends, but since they’ve been together, he spends his winter vacation with Lauren Silverman, 41, and their four year old son Eric. Funny thing is, he never takes off that life vest. Every day Simon enjoys the beach and occasionally jet-skis, but he seems to have developed a fondness for that vest and never takes it off. (We see paparazzi photos daily) He usually has a New Years Eve party at the Sandy Lane Resort there, so we assume he will surrender the vest for that occasion…

BEVERLY D’ANGELO AND CHEVY CHASE ARE STILL A COUPLE ONSCREEN

Speaking of Chevy Chase, his costar in those National Lampoon vacation movies, Beverly D’Angelo, looks delightful in this photo taken at an event this week. (She is the mother of Al Pacino’s twins, by the way.) She and Chevy make an appearance in the new Vacation movie starring Ed Helms as their grown up son Rusty. Even more interesting, Beverly and Chevy filmed a sitcom pilot for ABC about a pair of selfish retired baby boomers whose lives are turned upside down when their grandchildren move in with them. Don’t know if it’s been picked up yet, but we bet that Beverly has some interesting stories about Chevy.

VITO SCHNABEL: TAKING HEIDI KLUM FOR GRANTED?

Photo removed by Google
We’re not saying the thrill is gone, but most men would NOT have their eyes glued to their phone while sunbathing with a topless Heidi Klum. Heidi and her younger man Vito Schnabel basked in the warm Caribbean sun in St Barth over the weekend. A couple dozen photos of their tanning session have surfaced and in every picture, Vito is staring at his phone, NOT his supermodel girlfriend. (In spite of her jam-packed work schedule, Heidi is rarely seen on her phone.) We published the most modest photo of Heidi.

AMERICAN TOURISTS NICOLE RICHIE AND FAMILY ARE VACATIONING IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE

Looking like a typical American family on vacation in Europe, Nicole Richie and her musician husband Joel Madden and their kids Harlow and Sparrow took in the local sights. They did all the touristy stuff – sailed on a yacht, had a carousel ride, ate some ice cream, shopped, and took plenty of photos of each other.
