HOLLYWOOD

Kelly Clarkson was one of the biggest stories of the week after she took to social media to express anger at the way she was allegedly treated at ART OF PLAY, a toy and book store in Brooklyn.  Here’s what we know.  The incident over a $15,000 animated bird is the story that dominated the headlines for most of the week with both Kelly and the store going back and forth on social media.  Now Kelly is being advised by some of her handlers to clean up the mess because her complaining about not being able to purchase a $15,000 decorative item isn’t playing well with some of her more middle class fans.  We are hearing that Kelly’s people are hoping to partner up with the store and donate toys and books to the less fortunate just in time for the holiday season.  It’s not a done deal yet , but don’t be too surprised if it happens.

Tell-all books also dominated the headlines this week.  First, Joe Manganiello’s tome, Bloodlines , made the news for less than flattering stories about his ex-wife, Sofia Vergara.  We just heard this:  Sofia is gearing up for a sit down interview to address the stories that portray her in an unpleasant tone.  She’s currently deciding what show to appear on, but she’s eager to address Joe’s book and get her side of the story (which includes some unpleasant tidbits about Joe) out there as soon as possible.

In other tell all news, Collin Gosselin’s memoir is anything but a love letter to his estranged mother, Kate.  He reveals so many nasty details that my source says Kate is considering suing him!  Yes, you read that right, the reality mom is LIVID over the way her son portrays her,  and she’s insisting to pals that those stories about how she abused him just aren’t true.  Buckle up kiddos- this one is going to get even nastier than it already is.

Selma Blair made news when she was arrested in New York for allegedly assaulting numerous people, including flight attendants on a Delta flight, a police officer and a nurse.  We can tell you this.  Selma is already planning to call her MS doctor (we know the name but we prefer not to reveal it) to testify on her behalf that the violent episode was caused by an unexpected MS flare up and missed doses of her medication.  My source says Selma is even considering checking into a rehabilitation center to deal with her MS because the stress of the situation.  Her arrest is causing her to experience MS symptoms that had previously been under control.

Kimberly Guilfoyle got the boot as Ambassador to Greece after The Wall Street Journal published a news story revealing that she was asking people for big bucks ( $100,000 to pay off her AMEX bill) for access to President Trump.  Here’s what we know.  Kimberly is being swarmed with offers from publishers to write a tell all book about everything she experienced with the Trump family during the time she was engaged to Donnie.  My source says Kim hasn’t signed on just yet , but she IS tempted by the big numbers being offered.

In more Trump news, his new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia was in the news for two things.  She bombed during her first press conference and she was exposed as not being an actual attorney as she and Trump both claimed – she did go to law school , but she failed the Bar exam.  We can tell you this.  Behind very closed doors ( and our source is that good) Trump is already interviewing for her replacement.  The story will be that she loved her new job but it became too demanding – juggling that along with her husband and four kids.  Long story short, Trump wants her out!

Brooks Nader was in the news for getting handsy with her Baywatch costar Stephen Arnell.  We can tell you this.  The photos of them in London were STAGED.  As we previously reported,  producers of the Baywatch reboot are worried that the show is going to flop miserably and they’re looking for creative ways to drum up publicity. They’ve turned to the oldest trick in the book:  a romance among costars. We can tell you, Brooks and Stephen are good friends, but stories of a romance are completely manufactured to create headlines.
