Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

After years of dominating headlines for his outlandish antics (who can forget tiger blood) Charlie Sheen was back in the news for making a surprise appearance on his ex-wife, Denise Richards’ reality show.  Here’s what we know. Denise’s show is only doing so-so on Bravo, but Charlie’s appearance boosted ratings and generated tons of press. Executives are now encouraging Denise to add Charlie to the cast so he can continue to talk about his previous shenanigans as well as share his journey dealing with HIV. Charlie is open to the idea (and the money could come in handy) but now it’s up to Denise to agree.

Sad news this week was the death of Val Kilmer.  Here’s what we know.  A lifelong Christian Scientist, Val shunned most traditional western medicine, choosing to go more of an alternative route, but his Top Gun costar Tom Cruise offered to pick up the tab to get Val to some of the world’s most cutting edge doctors who incorporate both Western medicine and non traditional medicine.  In the end, Val never took Tom up on his offer, so we will never know if the outcome might have been different.

Justin Bieber made the news for debuting a new tattoo, H22, on his wrist as a tribute to his wife, Hailey who was born on the 22nd of November.  However, we just heard that his tribute backfired.  Long story short, Hailey thinks Justin already has TOO MUCH ink and the LAST thing she wanted was for him to get more, even if it was in her honor. She didn’t want to upset him or taint the gesture, but that didn’t stop her from complaining to a pal that she would have been happier if he underwent laser treatments to remove some of the skin art.

Unstable Kanye West made the news for some new music including a song about his estranged wife, Bianca Censori.  In the tune, titled BIANCA, Kayne raps that his wife ran away from him and even tried to get him committed to a mental institution.  Well, don’t tell Kayne, but we know that Bianca hasn’t given up on getting him help and she’s secretly been in contact with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.  Bianca hopes that by teaming up with Kim and her seemingly endless resources, they might be able to force Kayne to get the mental health treatment he seems to need.

Elon Musk probably wasn’t happy about being in the news this week.  First, his Tesla stock fell in value after a disappointing sales report, and then after shelling out millions  in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election, his preferred candidate lost big time.  We just heard that although his buddy Donald Trump is publicly standing by him, privately he’s singing a much different tune and is distancing himself from the controversial automaker.  Donald is all about perception and he now feels Elon, while still one of the world’s wealthiest men, is quickly turning into a loser.  The Wisconsin election loss was a particularly hard pill for Donald to swallow since Elon went to the state and held rallies.  Our source says that you can expect to see less and less of Elon, and it won’t be long before he’s completely out of the picture.

PROBLEMATIC VAL KILMER WILL BE MISSED

We like to remember Val Kilmer when he surprised Hollywood by dating Cher for a couple of years in the mid-80’s. She said he was one of the few boyfriends who broke up with HER (but they remained friends.) No surprise- several directors labeled Val as difficult. When he reported for work on the Batman Forever set we were told that Val  demanded a dossier on each actor and crew member he was working with on the set. He wanted personal info and details about everybody. He refused to leave his trailer and held up production until that information was given to him. Director Joel Schumacher was not thrilled, but hustled to fulfill his extravagant demand. They never worked together again.  Joel and other directors who found him “difficult” admitted  that they DID admire his work in spite of his “method” acting.

MELANIA TRUMP IS THINKING AHEAD

Melania Trump has big plans for the next chapter of her life, once her husband Donald is no longer president.  According to our well placed source, the First Lady wants to ditch Trump once and for all – no, she’s not about to divorce Donald,  but she DOES want to dump his last name.  Melania feels the Trump brand is getting more and more toxic, so she’s secretly started the paperwork to legally change her name to just Melania.  (Like Cher)   She has big dreams about launching lines of fashion, skin care, and beauty products once she’s no longer connected to the White House and plans to trademark the name Melania.

PRINCE HARRY TURNED HIS ATTENTION ELSEWHERE

Could Prince Harry go from one good cause to another?  Harry recently stepped away from Sentebale, the charity to combat AIDS in Africa that he founded in memory of his late mother, Princess Diana.  Although there’s a lot of speculation as to why he left, that’s not stopping him from working on a new charity that’s closer to his new home.  Harry was heartbroken to hear that local food banks in his adopted home of Santa Barbra County are struggling thanks to Donald Trump’s dismantling of USAID.  ( see link below).  Not one to sit back and do nothing, Harry is teaming up with his well-to-do neighbors, including Oprah Winfrey, to raise funds to keep the local food banks stocked.  Our source says that Harry has decided to focus much of his attention on LOCAL organizations that need help.

WHY BRITNEY SPEARS DANCES IN HER LINGERIE

Could there be a method to Britney Spears’ madness?  She frequently posts provocative photos and videos of herself frolicking in sexy lingerie on social media, and NOW we just might know WHY!  According to a source, Britney wants to follow in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian and her Skims company, and launch her OWN line of intimate apparel.  Unlike Kim’s Skims which is relatively modest, Britney is aiming for  va va voom sexy (think garter belts, pasties and lots of see-thru lace and leather).  She has met with a manufacturer and is working on getting a line together with hopes of launching before the end of the year.

MIDCENTURY MODERN WITHOUT LINDA LAVIN?

The much anticipated launch of Midcentury Modern just dropped on Hulu and the reviews are in.   The show is not bad, but the best thing about it was the character Sybil, played by the late Linda Lavin.  Our well placed source revealed that producers are now hoping to take a cue from The Golden Girls and cast a younger actress to play the part of an older character in season two.  Our more mature readers will remember Estelle Getty, who played Bea Arthur’s mother on the 80’s sitcom, was actually YOUNGER than Bea!  She wore a wig and makeup to appear older.  (Back then producers were upset once when Estelle returned wrinkle free after a summer hiatus because she had a secret facelift during the break!)  Midcentury producers don’t want to take the chance on an actress in her eighties or older, so they are quietly looking to cast someone in her sixties and will use wigs and makeup to make her look old enough to be one of the other character’s moms.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

We’re the first to admit we don’t watch any reality shows, but we also know many of our readers do, so we wanted to share this whodunit.  Ever wonder why this woman continues to be a staple on a long running reality series – even though her storylines are non-existent?  Sure, when the show first started it made sense to have her in, but years and years later she’s about as enjoyable as expired cottage cheese.  Well,  HERE’S why the powers that be keep her on:  Back in the day, this smart cookie got some dirt on one of the honchos behind the show, so she’s basically guaranteed employment for as long as the show lasts!  Now here’s where it gets tricky.  Focus groups have continually suggested she is boring and doesn’t add much to the drama, and now others at the network are trying to ease her out.  The problem is, our guy behind the show doesn’t want his dirty secret out – so he continues to plead the case for keeping her.

 

GUESS WHO!!!

WE TOLD YA SO!

It’s been so long that we almost forgot that we told you so. Months and months ago we were the only site to reveal that Megan Fox was pregnant. We also had the world exclusive scoop that she was having a baby GIRL with her now estranged fiancé Machine Gun Kelly. Well the pretty actress just gave birth today, and lo and behold, our source was right again! Megan had a girl just like we reported!

SELENA GOMEZ IS MASTERMINDING BENNY BLANCO’S MAKEOVER

Benny Blanco’s eyebrows made news because he finally had them plucked.  Again, loyal readers will recall we wrote that his better half, Selena Gomez has been quietly pushing for this.  We just heard that this was just the START of Benny’s wedding makeover and he’s perfectly fine with Selena’s suggestions – he wants to make her happy.  Since they haven’t set a date yet, Benny has plenty of time to get more improvements and procedures, including Invisalign, ( clear removable braces) teeth whitening, and laser treatments for his skin.  Benny plans to look like a new man in his wedding photos!

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The biggest news of the week was the announcement that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were tying the knot this summer in a star studded wedding in Italy.  Loyal readers will remember that we had the scoop about an Italian wedding.  Here’s the latest on what we know.  Like most engaged couples, the lovebirds are working on their gift registry, but unlike anyone else, this registry won’t have items from Target! According to my source, the registry will only list charities that Jeff and Lauren support, directing their A-list guests to make generous donations in their honor. We can expect the charities to make millions since many of the guests are already billionaires.

Why are we not surprised that Real Housewife of New Jersey, Teresa Guidice made headlines when it was revealed she and her husband, Luis Ruelas owed approximately $3 million in tax liens!  While we aren’t a fan, we still have sources, and we just heard that the financially burdened couple are considering turning to Only Fans to make some fast money to settle up the steep debt.

Sydney Sweeney made news -not for what she posted on social media – but for what she deleted.  The Euphoria actress scrubbed her Instagram of photos where she’s kissing her fiance, Jonathan Davino.  Here is what we are hearing from two sources and we are telling you both conflicting tales.  One of our well placed sources insists the couple is definitely over and their publicist is just waiting for the right time to officially announce the breakup.  However, another source predicts that the entire thing is a ruse to throw off the public for an upcoming wedding.  Only time will tell WHICH source is right.

Ben Affleck made news for a tell-all interview with GQ magazine in which he dished on some of the details from his split from Jennifer Lopez.  Here’s what we know.  When they broke up,  Ben and Jen agreed to keep mum about their split, and now Jen’s not exactly thrilled that Ben broke their promise, even though he didn’t say anything negative.   Nonetheless, J.Lo now feels free to give her own interview – likely to Vogue, ( she wants the cover) and get her side of the story out.

The White Lotus incest scene between brothers was definitely the talk around water coolers everywhere this week.  Here’s what we know.  Our source says that was only the tip of the iceberg and that the final two episodes are going to be the most SHOCKING of the series, and push even more boundaries.  (More nude men?) We can’t imagine what’s more shocking than incest, but we will be watching. Will YOU?
