Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were in the news when it was announced that their staggering $100 million production deal with Netflix wasn’t getting renewed,  but we can tell you this… don’t start shedding any tears for the former royals.  Behind very closed doors, Meg and Harry are already in top secret talks with Hulu to pick up where Netflix left off.  Although it was somewhat surprising that Netflix was nixing the deal, Harry and Meghan started shopping their services around just as soon as news of the cancellation hit the news.

Speaking of cancellations, we already dished about Stephen Colbert and The Late Show  getting nixed, but here’s the latest:  Our inside source reveals that Stephen plans on tormenting both Donald Trump and CBS on a nightly basis,  and he confided to an associate that he’s prepared to SUE them to high heaven if they try to censor him in any way during this last season! This is going to wind up being Trump’s biggest nightmare since Stephen now has nothing to lose.  He’s boasting to pals that he will make fun of Trump NONSTOP until the show is finished.

And speaking of Donald Trump, we now know (but aren’t at all surprised) that he’s named numerous times in the Jeffrey Epstein files, and that COULD be why he suddenly decided not to release them and started claiming they’re fake news.  We just heard that Donald’s friend turned foe, Elon Musk, is gloating to pals that he was RIGHT when he told everyone Trump was in the files. Remember, he posted the same thing on X weeks ago. Now Elon is planning to take out ads and billboards across the country touting that he was right all along.  Again, the feud between these two silly boys is FAR from over.

Hulk Hogan made the news for the saddest possible reason, passing away unexpectedly at 71-years-old in Clearwater, Florida.  We know this.  Hulk had no reason to believe he was close to death as he was secretly planning his big movie comeback (he was up for two movie roles) and was  even negotiating a deal about getting back in the ring later this year. To say his death was a shock to his friends, family and business associates, is an understatement.

Another shocking celebrity passing was Ozzy Osbourne, 76, who  passed away just two weeks after his final Black Sabbath concert.  We just heard that his widow, Sharon, was quietly working on a documentary about Ozzy’s colorful life and career as well as his more recent health struggles.  The project is far from finished and now grief stricken Sharon isn’t sure if she wants to continue with it.  We hear her children are encouraging her to finish the project as a way to honor Ozzy.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi made news when they revealed their move to the U.K. was all but permanent.  Here’s what we know.  The couple didn’t reveal that although they might be taking an extended break from the US, they aren’t planning to spend all of their time in the U.K.  We just heard that they’re quietly looking at compounds in Portia’s native Australia and plan to spend half the year Down Under and the other half in the U.K. – at least until the 2028 presidential election.

Meryl Streep made the news when photos of her on the set of the The Devil Wears Prada sequel appeared online and she looks practically the same as she did when the original movie came out in 2006.  Here’s what we know.  Meryl wanted to look her absolute best before production began, so she secretly underwent a few cosmetic procedures (we were told off the record a face and neck lift, but again this is speculation).  We heard Meryl was on the fence about having surgery or just aging gracefully, but decided to have some work done once the long speculated sequel was finally scheduled to go into production since she does play a major fashionista and needs to look her absolute best.
