Janet Charlton's

HOLLYWOOD

Without a doubt, the biggest story of the week was the unexpected passing of Diane Keaton last Saturday.  We had the worldwide exclusive about the cause of her death and we expect the other details we revealed (her battle with Alzheimer’s and Dementia) to eventually be confirmed when her death certificate is made public.  Until then, here’s what we know.  Detail oriented Diane was determined to make sure she handled her affairs as soon as she was diagnosed with the illnesses.  She made plans to have her most prized possessions auctioned off next year at one of the big auction houses – with proceeds being donated to animal rescue charities and charities that help the homeless.  This includes her extensive vintage and designer wardrobe,  antiques, art, and jewelry.  My source says the rough estimate of the haul will be over $10 million. Diane kept much of her Annie Hall wardrobe, so that is expected to fetch a pretty penny.

The other big news was out of Washington D.C. with former conservative extremist, Marjorie Taylor Greene suddenly becoming the voice of reason during the government shutdown.  While we were never a fan of her divisive politics we have to give credit where credit is due, and we are impressed with her for standing up for affordable healthcare and for immediately releasing the Epstein files.  Remember, Donald Trump campaigned on releasing the files, but as soon as he caught wind that he was named in them, he quickly changed his tune.  Here is what we know. Our well placed political source revealed that behind closed doors, Marjorie is being wooed to switch teams and join the Democrats. If she changes her party affiliation, she’s being promised plum rolls on major committees. My source adds it’s a long shot, but Marjorie is so disgusted by the way the Republicans tend to treat women, it actually could happen.

Katy Perry was all over the news when photos of her canoodling with for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were released.  My source reveals that this romance is far from a fling, and Katy loves the idea of being with a man who’s not a performer. Justin is also physically her type, so that explains why she’s already shopping for a place to hang her hat in his native Canada.

Professional dad Kevin Federline was making headlines this week when his book, You Thought You Knew, was excerpted and shocking details about his ex-wife, Britney Spears, were released.  Among Kevin’s outlandish allegations is that Britney cheated on him with a female dancer, and that he’s worried she’s headed for another meltdown. We can tell you this. Britney is so disturbed by the details and accusations that she’s planning to go on the attack. She doesn’t want to waste money suing Kevin, but she is shopping around a tell-all interview to discredit his autobiography as nothing but a piece of badly written fiction.  Stay tuned, as this is only going to heat up.

Speaking of tell-alls, season one White Lotus star Lukas Gage’s memoir, I Wrote This For Attention, dropped some serious bombshells as well, but one was only hinted at and not revealed.  Lukas writes about a former lover giving him two sexually transmitted diseases, and here is what we know. In the original draft Lukas name names, but the former partner caught wind of this and threatened to sue. Lukas didn’t want any more drama, so in the end he told the story without naming the name. We heard from a very an inside source who it is, but we don’t want the legal drama either so our lips are sealed – but feel free to guess.

Kim Kardashian made headlines when she went on the Call Her Daddy podcast on October 15, and dished the dirt on her toxic former marriage to Kanye West.  We are happy to share this tidbit with you.  Just hours after the podcast dropped Kim received a cease and desist order from Kanye and his legal team.  My source says that Kim laughed so hard she almost wet herself  because Kayne has a history of badmouthing her and her family, so she found it ironic that he’s threatening to sue her unless she stops talking about him.  Needless to say she paid  zero attention to Kanye’s complaints, but did share the latest development with her inner circle.

Taylor Swift was a hot topic this week as well when she popped up at her fiance, Travis Kelce’s, football game.  It was the first time this season she’s been that visible at a game.  Here’s what we know.  Taylor has actually been spending a lot of time in Kansas City as she starts to put her touches on Travis’s former bachelor pad.  Taylor is making some changes to the home, including upgrading the kitchen (she’s an avid baker and cook so she ordered top of the line appliances including a $500,000 custom model La Cornue Chateau range from France. You read that right:  half a million dollars!  My source says Taylor can easily afford it, and she gets pleasure from being in the kitchen. The other thing that gives her a lot of pleasure is her cats, so it should come as no surprise that she’s building an outdoor “catio” in Travis backyard, which is also setting her back a pretty penny.
