RUDY GIULIANI IS A FRIEND IN NEED

Sometimes you have to learn a lesson the hard way, just ask poor (literally and figuratively) Rudy Giuliani. A judge just tossed out Rudy’s bankruptcy case, meaning his countless creditors can start seizing his assets, including putting a lien on his homes. Remember, those two Georgia election workers won a 148 million dollar defamation claim against Rudy for falsely accusing them of “stealing” the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump. According to my source, Rudy recently asked Donald (who he thought was a good friend) for help, but basically got the door slammed in his face, and was met with a big fat NO. Other friends previously tried to warn Rudy that Trump is narcissistic and only cares about himself, and now Rudy is learning the lesson the hard way. He could wind up HOMELESS and Trump isn’t willing to help. My source adds that Rudy is shocked and disappointed and now is realizing he was used by Trump.

SHANNON DOHERTY AND ASHLEY HAMILTON: WHO’S SORRY NOW?

We were saddened to hear of Shannon Doherty’s passing on Saturday, July 13. Throughout the decades, Shannon was the topic of many interesting anecdotes beginning with her time on 90210 (who can forget her antics as a young starlet hanging out at the nightclubs on the Sunset Strip back in the early 90’s?) While many of her costars have already issued statements, her ex-husband Ashley Hamilton is filled with regret that he never reached out to Shannon and buried the hatchet after their ill-fated 1993 marriage ended in divorce six months later. Shannon always blamed her tumultuous marriage for getting her fired from Beverly Hills, 90210. Ashley hasn’t spoken to Shannon in almost 30 years and he sobbed to a friend that it was a mistake. My source reveals that Ashley is hoping to do something to honor Shannon and ease his conscience.

RIHANNA WANTS WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER GOT

Speaking of that lavish Indian wedding, Rihanna is NOT thrilled that she was paid $4 million LESS than Justin Bieber to perform. While Rihanna performed at a pre-wedding party in early May, earning $8 million for her work, (it was her first non Super Bowl performance in 8 years!) Justin recently earned $12 million to perform at the wedding kickoff. According to my source, Rihanna is livid over the snub, and is hoping to get another $4 million from the wedding planners to ease her pain…

WHY KIM KARDASHIAN ATTENDED THAT BILLIONAIRE’S WEDDING IN INDIA

Kim Kardashian was a guest at what is being called the wedding of the decade, but she was the one who walked away with the gift! Kim and her plus one, her sister Khloe, flew to India at the request of Asia’s richest man to attend his son’s lavish wedding reception. According to our source it was PAID APPEARANCE! Kim waltzed away with approximately $5 million plus expenses for attending. Since Khloe was her guest, she didn’t get paid to attend, but my source reveals that Kim plans to share her haul with her. And it looks like they got considerable help in dressing for the occasion…

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Mere days after George Stephanopoulos interviewed President Joe Biden the seasoned ABC journalist was caught on tape by a supposedly random pedestrian in NYC saying that there was no way Biden could serve another 4 years given his condition. Immediately after the tape was released by TMZ, George backpedaled and said he shouldn’t have commented. Here’s what we know: My inside source says that George felt like an accomplice going along with the narrative that Biden is fine and that the heavily edited interview didn’t show how cognitively impaired Biden is. While this is PURE SPECULATION on the part of my source, the theory is that the entire street incident was a setup so that George could clear his conscience and let the world know exactly how he feels since he was barred from speaking out by the network.

Britney Spears made the news for ending her seemingly toxic relationship with her maintenance man turned lover Paul Soliz. As we previously reported, Britney is now online looking for love. We just heard though that Britney is planning to ask for a restraining order against Paul since he allegedly keeps contacting her in hopes of reconciling. THAT’S the real reason Britney asked her brother Bryan to move in. My source adds that if Paul doesn’t go away peacefully, a restraining order is in the works.

Nicolas Cage’s son Weston was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly assaulting his mom, Christina Fulton. We are hearing that although Christina was photographed bruised and battered, she is REFUSING to cooperate with the police investigation and let’s face it, a crime without a victim is going to be hard to prosecute. We also heard that after years of bad blood Nic and Christina are learning to co-parent their 33-year-old son and that Nic paid for Weston’s bail and is also paying for Christina’s attorney as she refuses to cooperate with law enforcement.

We just heard this tidbit. Hours after George Clooney’s scathing OP-ED piece in the NY TIMES urging President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential election, George sent flowers to the White House and tried calling Biden to explain his reasoning. The call was not put through and the flowers were rejected. The flowers being rejected is a standard security procedure since George didn’t give the White House a heads up to expect a delivery, but my source says George was shocked the president wouldn’t take his call so he could explain his position.

Finally, Travis Kelce was caught on a hot mic blabbing that the Super Bowl suite he got for his girlfriend Taylor Swift and his family cost $3 million. No disrespect to Travis, as we’re sure suites ARE that pricey. BUT we previously told you that Travis got the suite for FREE from the team, the NFL, and the network, because they all wanted Taylor to attend! As we reported, football has never been so popular and is reaching an entirely new audience – thanks to Taylor and her Swifties. The powers that be knew the value in having her at the biggest game of the year. We are also hearing that Taylor is adjusting her schedule to appear at most of Travis’ games this upcoming season, and once again the NFL is rolling out the red carpet to get her there. So while Travis is a good guy, he just might NOT be the big spender he implies that he is.

JOE BIDEN: THE EASY WAY, THE HARD WAY, OR NO WAY?

Remember where you read this, because if it actually happens, it will be a big scoop. Since a defiant Joe Biden doesn’t seem any closer to abandoning his presidential campaign, even though more and more of his fellow Democrats are urging him to quit, behind VERY closed doors some of the party operatives have concocted a plan. My vigilant Washington, D.C. source reveals that the plan is for Biden’s cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment and have him declared unfit for office. My source insists this is the worst case scenario plan, as their hope is that Joe will come to his senses and realize it’s time to step aside. But if he refuses to do so BEFORE the upcoming Democratic convention, it’s very likely this WILL happen…

FAYE DUNAWAY DOES IT HER WAY

Okay, we all know that Faye Dunaway has a reputation in Hollywood as being “difficult” and as a longtime gossip columnist we can verify that “difficult” is an understatement. But we DO appreciate her acting. (Bonnie & Clyde, Mommie Dearest etc) Dunaway was in New York this week promoting the new HBO documentary about her life (coming July 13) called “Faye.” She was appropriately attired in a black suit and sneakers, BUT it’s apparent that she never smiles at herself in the mirror and she definitely does not have an entourage watching out for her. Not only did she appear on TV, but posed for numerous photos with a missing front tooth! (Did no one have the courage to gently advise her to get that fixed?)

BRITNEY SPEARS IS LOOKING ONLINE FOR LOVE

After looking for love in all the wrong places, Britney Spears has decided to log on, in hopes of swiping right on her soulmate. Britney’s last romance with a maintenance man Paul Soliz recently ended and although she vowed she was done with men, that edict didn’t last very long. Britney recently joined the membership dating app, Raya, in hopes of meeting someone with solid credentials. As my source explains, Britney hasn’t ever had a healthy romantic relationship – from Justin Timberlake, Kevin Federline and this latest fling -they’ve all ended in disaster and she’s hoping to change that on Raya.

LEAH REMINI WANTS NO REMINDERS OF SCIENTOLOGY

As we have been reporting, Leah Remini finally sold her Studio City, California estate for just under $10 million and she recently held a yard sale to unload some unwanted furniture and knickknacks from the estate. One thing Leah DIDN’T sell though was a reminder from her past as a Scientologist! Stuffed away in a spare closet was an E-meter, a Scientology contraption that supposedly acts as a lie detector test! Leah all but forgot she had the hunk of junk, and even though they sell online at sites like eBay for hundreds of dollars, thoughtful Leah didn’t want to sell anything that might promote Scientology. According to my source, she took a hammer to it, smashed it in pieces and tossed it right in the trash.

KIM AND PARIS HAVE TRADED PLACES

Now that they’re friends again, Paris Hilton is leaning into Kim Kardashian to help her land the cover of Vogue magazine. Back in the day, Kim started out as Paris’ plus one, but then the tides turned and Kim became one of the world’s biggest celebrities (we’re still not sure how) and Paris faded in oblivion. After a seemingly endless feud, the gals buried the hatchet a few years back and are close again. Kim’s made the cover of US Vogue more than a few times, and while Paris has been a cover girl on various international editions, she’s never landed the coveted US cover. According to my source, it’s one of Paris‘s lifelong dreams and on her bucket list. Since Kim is friendly with Vogue editor, Anna Wintour, she’s hoping she can help make her dream happen. Interesting side-note… last year it was actually Kim who got Paris invited to the Met Gala, which was the first time Paris made the invite list.
