Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been all over the news as their expected wedding date gets closer.  Loyal readers will know we already broke some of the wedding scoops ,but here’s what we  know now.  Their guests are in for a musical treat , as Taylor is planning to sing a love song to Travis that she wrote especially for him and will debut at the wedding.  She’s eventually planning to release the single as well on an upcoming album she’s already working on.

Speaking of the wedding, as we previously reported ,the couple insisted on NO gifts, but as we also reported , they are planning to give their lucky guests gift bags loaded with cool swag.  Here’s what we haven’t told you yet.  Since many of the activities are going down in NYC, Taylor is planning to thank the city for cooperating on her big day – she’s working on plan for a free concert in Central Park for later this year!  It’s a huge secret and nothing has been announced yet, but behind closed doors ,the details are already being worked out.

Oprah Winfrey made the news when she revealed that Whitney Houston was once high when she appeared on her talkshow and that she was SO high that she fell off the stage while performing.  Whitney’s estate ,along with her former bodyguard , disputed the claim and here’s the latest.  Oprah is telling friends she regrets mentioning the incident which happened so many years ago but she’s irked that she’s being called a liar by those close to Whitney.  Since EVERYTHING was recorded and Oprah owns all of the recordings, she’s debating releasing the video to prove she was right.  She hasn’t decided though if it’s worth it , and is being advised to issue a statement apologizing.  Long story short – this could go either way.

Armie Hammer was all over the news for his movie Citizen Vigilante.  Despite the graphic nature of the film and the gratuitous violence , the film is doing surprisingly well, steaming in the top ten on Apple ( it didn’t get a theatrical release in the states) but really hauling in the box office overseas with a reported $68 million worldwide.  We can tell you this.  While he’s still working on his Hollywood comeback, Armie is now being wooed by European filmmakers because he’s proven to be an international star.  We can exclusively reveal he was just offered another starring role in a French film.  Long story short, Europeans are far more forgiving , and Armie stands to earn millions since his deal for Citizen Vigilante included a percentage of the box office receipts.

Savannah Guthrie was in the news when details of the ransom note she received in her mother Nancy’s kidnapping were revealed.  One of the notes said that Nancy had passed and while that wasn’t previously made public , we can tell you this.  Savanna and her siblings and other close loved ones held a private celebration of life for Nancy when it became clear that she was more than likely deceased.  They never talked about it because they wanted to keep the case active in the public eye , but they were also looking for some sort of closure and wanted to honor Nancy even if her remains weren’t found.

Taylor Frankie Paul was all over the news when it was revealed ABC was planning to resurrect her scrapped season of The Bachelorette.  You’ll recall that the network abruptly pulled the plug on the season when domestic violence allegations surfaced against the reality star turned Bachelorette.  We just heard this.  ABC is scrambling to reunite some of the remaining 3 finalists for Taylor’s heart ,and re-film the last episodes.  It’s obvious now that Taylor didn’t wind up with anyone long term, so producers want to change that outcome.  My source says it’s almost a done deal and filming could resume in the near future.

Donald Trump was in the news again for his typical shenanigans:  this time for posting a Father’s Day photo on social media of a random blonde woman who he suggested was a “daughter” as well as for a plethora of other missteps.  We can tell you this.  Trusted aides are encouraging the president to cut back on his social media posts as well as his public appearances , since his age and mental state are beginning to raise concerns.  They know he doesn’t take advice well so they’ve turned to his wife, First Lady Melania , to perhaps talk some sense into him.  Melania has agreed to see what she can do.
