YOU CAN LIVE LIKE JOHNNY DEPP

Johnny Depp’s former condo in downtown Los Angeles’ Eastern Columbia Building is on the market for lease. The 2490 square-foot penthouse is being rented for $7500 per month and it’s the same unit where Johnny and his former wife, Amber Heard had many of their blowout fights. But here’s a more interesting fact that we never knew: Anne Heche rented the penthouse from Johnny just prior to her untimely death, and some residents in the building seem to feel the place is cursed.

DONALD TRUMP IS WORRIED ABOUT FEMALE VOTERS

Our well placed political source just shared this scoop with us. While Donald Trump continues to deny he’s thinking of replacing his vice presidential running mate, JD Vance, that doesn’t explain why he just asked former Republican challenger, Nikki Haley for her personal information to be vetted! Donald has taken the pulse of some of the Republican Party’s biggest donors and the consensus so far it seems to be JD was the wrong choice. As we previously reported, Trump chose Vance at the very last minute at the urging of his son Junior. Publicly he’s supporting Vance, but behind very closed doors, he fears he made the wrong choice and that Nikki could bring more female voters to his side. Trump has about one week to make his decision and as we also reported if he DOES boot Vance out, the excuse will be that it’s due to an “unexpected family issue…”

TOM CRUISE AWARDED FRANCE’S HIGHEST HONOR – FOR WHAT?

Right before the Olympic games commenced, there was a secret ceremony in Paris where Tom Cruise received the highest French order of merit: Knight of the Legion of Honor. France’s Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, presented him with the medal because his 2017 filming of Mission Impossible “showcased our capital.” Tony Ortega of the Underground Bunker speculates that the timing cleverly implied that Tom would attend the games. He did, and Tom was photographed mingling with fans and signing autographs. Ortega points out that France is not at all supportive or welcoming of Tom’s affiliation with Scientology. The fact that he chose Scientology over his own daughter cannot be overlooked. SOME French journalists are not convinced that Tom deserves that honor…

KIM KARDASHIAN: FASHION CAN BE A TOUCHY SUBJECT

Kim Kardashian is thrilled her ex-husband Kayne West is spending quality time with their kids (he was recently photographed taking oldest daughter North to the movies) but Kim’s NOT so happy with the barely-there outfits Kayne’s “wife” Bianca Censori wears around the kids. During the above mentioned movie outing, Bianca wore a skin tight shirt and the skimpiest of shorts, much to Kim’s displeasure. According to my source, Kim is encouraging all of the kids to have a relationship with both their dad and Bianca, but she would prefer if Bianca dressed more like a mom and less like a stripper. After the photos of her at the movies came out, Kim got on the phone and expressed her feelings to Bianca – luckily they seem to have a good relationship.

A REVEALING MICK JAGGER MEMORY

Yesterday was Mick Jagger’s 81st birthday and he’s still going strong with his girlfriend of ten years, Melanie Hamrick. Former Ballerina Melanie (age “around 37”) and Mick have a seven year old son. His earlier marriage to Bianca Jagger didn’t last that long – and we think we know why. We had a Rock n Roll clothing store on Sunset Strip in the 70’s called The Garment District, (across from Tower Records) and one day Mick and Bianca came in. Bianca immediately gathered up a huge assortment of clothing and dumped it on my desk, asking “What discount can you give me?” We replied “Sorry, no discounts.” She refused to buy anything without a discount, and left all the clothing for me to hang up. Meanwhile Mick had picked out a t-shirt he liked that came in several colors, and he couldn’t decide whether to buy it in blue or green. After examining both VERY carefully, he purchased one $20 shirt. You’d think with all his money he would have purchased both, without a thought! He was frugal, but very nice, and never asked for a discount. We weren’t surprised when he and Bianca divorced a few years later…

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Another whirlwind political week with the news that President Joe Biden was ending his campaign and all but anointed his successor, Vice President Kamala Harris. We are hearing that Hollywood was starting to abandon Joe after that scathing op-ed by George Clooney, but is now gearing up for the biggest star studded fundraiser EVER, to boost Kamala’s financial war chest. The details are still being sorted out, but according to my source it’s going to rival with Academy Awards with A-listers willing to contribute a minimum of $100,000 for an invite. We will share more details as we hear them.

Speaking of Joe Biden, now that he’s bowing out of the race and set to retire in January once his presidency is over, we just heard he’s planning a major change. Although Joe has called Delaware his home for most of his life, he wants to be closer to his California based son Hunter, so he’s already working with a top LA based realtor looking at suitable homes in the LA area. My source says that he wants to be on or near a beach and security is one of the concerns so he’s looking at gated waterfront properties from Orange County up through Santa Barbara.

Jennifer Aniston made headlines after she took to social media in a heartfelt post about women who can’t bear children after misogynistic comments from vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently resurfaced. Just heard from a well placed source that Jen, who usually stays away from the nastiness of politics, is now going all in for Kamala Harris and will soon appear alongside her at a political rally focusing on women’s reproductive rights.

Speaking of JD Vance, there are some rumblings that Donald Trump regrets listing to his son, Don Junior, who was pushing for Vance to be selected as the running mate. Our spot-on political source reports that there’s a plan being talked about to have Vance bow out of the campaign and claim a personal family matter is the reason. My source insists that Trump completely regrets choosing Vance, but if he decides not to replace him, you can expect to hear a lot less of JD on the campaign trial. As my source put it, Trump didn’t trust his instincts and was swayed by his son and now has serious second thoughts.

Enough politics -back to entertainment. Celine Dion made headlines for two things – performing at the Olympics and signing up for a residency at Resorts World in Las Vegas. What DIDN’T come out though, is what we just heard. She’s also recording a new album which will drop around the same time she kicks off her residency in Sin City.

And finally, as we exclusively reported, Leah Remini finally sold her Studio City, California home and we just heard she’s now looking for a new home in the LA Valley, but wants one in a guard gated community. Our source explains that Leah is still be hounded by her former pals in Scientology so that’s why she’s hypersensitive to make sure her new home has ample armed security guards.

BRAD PITT WANTS MORE WINE IN HIS LIFE

Just because Brad Pitt has an ongoing lawsuit over what he claims was an inappropriate sale of his winery Miraval, doesn’t mean he’s out of the wine industry. Brad is suing his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, claiming she breached their agreement by selling her shares in the winery to a Russian oligarch. According to my source, Brad realizes he might not prevail and could never gain control of the French winery, so he’s now quietly looking at available wineries in Napa, California. Brad is doing all of his shopping anonymously because he fears his celebrity status might cause some sellers to ask for more money. Most of the wineries he’s looked at are off-market, and he tours them via Zoom. Once he finds something he likes, he’s telling friends he’ll put on a disguise and check it out in person.

MARC JACOBS HAS A SERIOUS INDULGENCE

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs wants MEN to pay more attention to their nails. He’s been sporting these 5 inch bejewelled nails since the Met Gala and thoroughly enjoys flipping them about in public. His custom nails take 6-7 hours of sitting time, START at around $900 per manicure, and go up to thousands of dollars. We can’t help but wonder how they affect his everyday life. Can he button a shirt and tie a necktie? We’d love to see him eat a hamburger…

LAUREN SANCHEZ SELLS HER USED COTHING ONLINE

Old habits die hard, just ask soon-to-be billionaire Lauren Sanchez. Before she found fame and fortune as Jeff Bezos’ fiancé, Lauren was a news anchor and worked the red carpet as a correspondent for Extra. Although successful, money was still an issue for working girl Lauren, especially since her jobs required her to dress up every day and didn’t supply her a wardrobe. Ever-practical Lauren couldn’t repeat her outfits so she sold them online and even though money will likely never be an issue for her again, she’s STILL selling her clothes through various online consignment sites. Don’t worry though, Lauren realizes how fortunate she is to be marrying one of the wealthiest men in the world, so she donates all proceeds from her used clothes to various charities benefiting women, minorities and animals.

KAMALA HARRIS HAS A SECRET STRATEGY

As Democrats quickly line up to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president, the world’s biggest and arguably most influential endorsement is being drafted. Behind very very very closed doors, talks are underway to incorporate megastar Taylor Swift into Kamala’s campaign. Taylor isn’t set to wrap up her European tour until early October and once she returns to the United States the plan is for her to issue an endorsement of Kamala and appear alongside her at a rally. Keep in mind this is very inside information and subject to change as Taylor might announce her endorsement much sooner than October, but for now THAT’S the plan.
