One of the top stories of the week was the downright nasty custody battle between Halle Berry and her ex, Olivier Martinez over their pre-teen son Maceo.  Here’s what we know.  Our source says that it’s obvious the years haven’t been so kind to the once handsome Olivier (he looks decades older in recent unflattering pics with gray hair and wrinkles) and his once red hot leading man career has all but disappeared.  My source explains that Halle feels his attempt for full custody of their son is Olivier’s way to extract more money out of her, and she intends to fight fire with fire and will soon be filing for FULL custody as well.  This seems to be getting uglier by the minute.

Donald Trump continues to make headlines for saying the most outlandish things.  This time, during a rally in a solid blue state, he basically said that he would be fine if Iran took out either Los Angeles or San Diego.  We can tell you this.  His daughter Ivanka went BALLISTIC over the comment – especially since her husband Jared Kushner is in the middle of purchasing the Los Angeles Lakers and needs all the public support he can get.  Ivanka got her dad on the phone and according to my source, read him the riot act, all but threatening to never speak with him again unless he cleaned up his mess. Hence, that’s the real reason why he quickly backtracked and claimed he didn’t mean what he said, since Trump doesn’t like to backpedal.

In other Trump news, the woman who was almost his daughter-in-law, Kimberly Guilfoyle (she was engaged to Donnie)  made headlines when it was reported she tried to get a congressional candidate from Kentucky to pay her $100,000 AMEX bill back in 2025.  Our well placed source reveals that Trump is FURIOUS at the report and is considering giving her the boot and replacing her as the Ambassador to Greece.  Nothing has been decided yet – but word in the street is that her days in the cushy position are numbered.

Celine Dion was in the news when she performed in Paris, years after self retiring due to stiff person syndrome.  We can tell you this.  Celine underwent experimental treatment for her ailment and is doing so well she’s now in top secret talks to resume her residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Nothing has been decided just yet , but the idea being discussed behind very closed doors is a less demanding schedule of perhaps a few weekends a month.

Roseanne Barr was talked about when she announced she had filmed an 8 episode sitcom, called Meemaw and was shopping it around to networks.  Our industry source says that most of the streamers have zero interest in touching this with a ten foot pole,  so Roseanne has a backup plan.  If it doesn’t get sold , she plans on releasing the series online herself ( most likely on YouTube) and she will charge people to view each episode.

Prince Harry made headlines when he revealed that he suffered from depression when he and his family moved to Canada.  Although their time there was short lived, Harry had a major case of the blues.  We can tell you this.  He was secretly diagnosed with SAD ( seasonal affective disorder) and the lack of sunlight contributed to his depression.  To keep the disorder at bay, my source reveals that Harry sits in front of a light therapy machine during the less sunnier months to provide him artificial sunlight and vitamin D.

Kourtney Kardashian made the news when the sneak peak of upcoming season of her Hulu show, The Kardashians, featured a storyline about her feud with Academy Award winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence.  We can tell you this.  The entire so-called feud was manufactured to give Kourtney a storyline since she prefers to keep her personal life off the show.  Producers needed to drum up something and since Jennifer is not only a huge fan of the show , but also a friend of all the sisters, they asked for her permission before introducing the plot twist.  Long story short, there is no reality in this so -called “feud.”
