The unfortunate misdiagnosis of Christina Applegate was one of the biggest stories of the week.  For years, Christina was diagnosed with MS, which contributed to fatigue, weight gain, and coordination problems, but just this week she revealed she was MISdiagnosed and never had MS in the first place.  This is actually fairly common since there’s no definitive test for MS,  and it’s usually diagnosed through a process of elimination.  Here’s what we know.  Christina is understandably devastated as her symptoms have worsened,  and now she’s planning to seek treatment in Germany where there are more cutting edge experimental treatments available.

Donald Trump just made headlines for taking to social media and blasting LeBron James for practicing his golf swing during the national anthem.  Here’s what we know.  We rarely if ever agree with Trump, but when he’s right he’s right and LeBron was in the wrong here.  Trump is now trying to get the NBA to issue a fine and or suspension to LeBron as well as send a message to all of the players that this is unacceptable behavior.  This story is developing – so be prepared for more updates.

Speaking of Trump, his wife Melania was in the news for shutting down rumors that her marriage was all but over.  We can tell you this.  Melania ain’t going ANYWHERE since she’s decades younger than 80-year-old Trump, and she’s able to do whatever she wants. (That’s why she’s rarely by his side unless it’s a very important event or occasion)  She stands to inherit BILLIONS if he passes away before she does, and at this point she feels it’s easier to stay married and do her own thing than to deal with a messy divorce.

Kylie Jenner made the news for wearing the $50 million fantasy bra while walking the runway for Victoria’s Secret.  We can share this with you.  Even though her sister Kim Kardashian is the founder of Skims, Kylie is teaming up with Victoria’s Secret and launching her OWN line of lingerie.  The deal is still being ironed out and if all goes according to plan , Kylie’s collection will be in stores in 2027. THAT’S the reason she was tapped to model for the fashion show.

Russell Brand was all over the news as his trial in the UK continues.  Russell was charged with 7 counts of sexual assault, rape, and other forms of assault.  Here is what we know.  A plea deal is still being worked out , but both sides are still far apart since Russell feels all of the acts were consensual.  It’s anything but a done deal , but behind very closed doors talks of SOME sort of deal continue.

Roseanne Barr made headlines when she revealed her former TV husband, John Goodman, refused to appear in a cameo on her new sitcom, Meemaw.  We can tell you this.  Although season one is completed, Roseanne is already working on guest appearances for season two and has been reaching out to her Hollywood contacts to sign on.  Get this.  She’s even hoping to land Donald Trump since she’s a big supporter.  As for her feud with John Goodman, my source says that John was put in a no-win situation – he wanted to help out Rosie, but his management team all but forbade it.

Jessica Simpson was a topic of conversation when she revealed to a paparazzi that she was in love with her boyfriend of less than a year, Thomas Eisenhood.  Here’s what we know.  What Jessica didn’t reveal was that she and Thomas are already engaged and she’s planning a Nashville wedding for spring of 2027.  She’s keeping the news a secret for the time being,  and not wearing the diamond engagement ring Thomas proposed with, but expect an announcement to come soon.
