One of the biggest Hollywood stories of the week was the sentencing of Kenneth Iwamasa to 41 months in prison for his role in the drug overdose death of Matthew Perry. Kenneth was Matthew‘s longtime personal assistant and admitted to injecting the Friends’ star with the fatal dose of ketamine.  Here’s what we know.  Kenneth is scheduled to begin serving his sentence in mid-July, and he’s spending some of the time before that shopping around a book proposal.  While he pled guilty to the charges and apologized to Matthew’s family, my source says that he also feels he was a victim, since Matthew was a longtime known drug addict and he was just doing as he was instructed to do.  He’s already written a proposal and my source says there’s a ton of interest.  Don’t be too surprised though if the proposed book NEVER sees the light of day.  Kenneth knows WAY too many secrets about those in Matthew’s orbit, so the rights to the book could easily be purchased by one of them to protect Matthew, as well as themselves.

Jill Biden made headlines for her interview with CBS where she revealed she feared her husband, President Joe Biden had a stroke during his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump.  We can tell you what she didn’t reveal during the much hyped television interview. After the debate, Jill secretly insisted that the president have a CAT scan to ensure he didn’t suffer a stroke – THAT’S how  alarmed she was by his shocking performance.

Speaking of Donald Trump, he made the news for having his third physical exam at Walter Reed this year. (That’s unusual considering the year isn’t even half over yet, and most Presidents only get an annual physical unless there’s something medically wrong)  While Trump is remaining coy on what’s going on with his health, the nearly 80-year-old man is facing his mortality and planning his own send-off.  We can tell you this. Trump has already planned much of his funeral  – including WHO he wants to speak, and WHAT they’re supposed to say.  He’s also picked out the outfit his wants to be buried in, and the casket (no surprise here -it’s gold).  My source says that Trump is privately dealing with something medically that’s influencing him to take these actions.

Donald also made the news for announcing he planned to attend one of the  playoff games now that his hometown NY Knicks have made it to the NBA Finals.  Here’s what we know.  Donald was hoping to score floor seats and mingle with the celebrity fans like Timothee Chalamet,  but the secret service NIXED that plan. If Trump follows through and attends the game, he will be safely ensconced in one of the deluxe suites – the floor seats were deemed too open and would make him vulnerable.

Demi Moore made headlines not only for her stylish looks at Cannes Film Festival, but also when it was just revealed she told a court back in January that her daughter Rumer Willis’s baby daddy, Derek Richard Thomas, shouldn’t have joint custody of Loretta, the daughter he shares with Rumer.  We can tell you this.  My source says that this is only the beginning of what appears to be a nasty split and that Derek has hinted he’s prepared to shop around a tell- all interview on what Rumer, Demi, and the rest of the family, are really like.  My source adds that unless an amicable agreement is reached soon (which currently seems like a long shot) the family’s secrets and all of their dirty laundry could be aired in public.

Gayle King made the news when she revealed on a podcast that her ex-husband William Bumpus cheated on her with her best friend decades ago.  Here’s what we know.  Although their split wasn’t the easiest, the two have stayed fairly civil and now that the cat is out of the bag, Gayle wants her ex to come on her morning show and discuss what happened!  It’s a long shot since William is extremely private, but it’s been so many years that Gayle thinks it would be great TV, healing for both of them and most of all – RATINGS GOLD.

The upcoming election for Los Angeles mayor was national news as the war between current mayor Karen Bass and former reality star turned candidate, Spencer Pratt continues to make headlines.  We can tell you this: as the election date approaches,my source says that both sides are drumming up last minute support from their celebrity backers.  TV commercials are currently being filmed which will blanket the airwaves through Election Day.  Big names are filming these spots for both candidates and the campaign is suddenly turning into one of the most expensive and star studded in Los Angeles history.
