HOLLYWOOD IS PRESSURING JOE BIDEN

A defiant Joe Biden refuses to end his presidential campaign despite calls from within the Democratic Party that it’s time for him to pass the torch. Biden’s insistence in staying in the race, and possibly handing the presidency back to convicted felon Donald Trump, isn’t winning him many fans among Hollywood’s elite. According to my source, a group of Hollywood A-listers just canceled their plans to host a $100,000 per person fundraiser in Pacific Palisades for Biden, and now many other celebs are jumping ship. Rob Reiner was one of the first to beg Biden to quit, but his pleas fell on deaf ears, so now other movers and shakers are planning to go public in hopes of getting Biden to throw in the towel.

TAYLOR AND TRAVIS HAVE NFL PLANS

Remember where you read this, because it won’t happen until Travis Kelce retires from professional football. My well placed source reveals that Travis’ long term plan is to play for the Kansas City Chiefs a few more years and then, of course, focus on a career in Hollywood. But that’s only half the story. Travis’s dream is to become a part owner of an NFL team and since his expected future-wife, Taylor Swift, is a multi-billionaire, they’ve already agreed to make that goal a part of their future. As my source puts it, Taylor’s 10-year plan is to get married, have a few kids and then retire from performing, so co-owning an NFL team with her husband fits perfectly into her plan.

NICOLE KIDMAN GOT WHAT SHE WANTED

Nicole Kidman recently revealed to Vogue’s Off the Cuff (an online interview feature) that one of the only wardrobe items she wishes she had kept over the years were the glasses her character wore in the film, Eyes Wide Shut. Unfortunately, the round metal framed Olivier Peoples glasses have been discontinued, but a quick thinking representative from the eyeglass company found a pair in their archives and shipped them to Nicole in Nashville. According to my source, Nicole was overjoyed at the gesture and sent a lavish basket of culinary goodies to the company as a thank you.

IT’S UP TO JILL BIDEN NOW

Our political insider just shared this and we couldn’t wait to tell you. After an undeniably disastrous debate, Democratic bigwigs have given up on trying to persuade President Joe Biden to abandon his reelection campaign and are now leaning on his wife, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, to convince him. As my source puts it, the well meaning President isn’t ready to step aside despite the onslaught of calls urging him to do the right thing to prevent Donald Trump from another disastrous term. My source reveals that it’s a combination of pride, stubbornness, and (unfortunately) possible mental decline, that’s preventing the President from seeing what most everyone else saw. Now the plan is to talk some sense in Jill and appeal to HER common sense and her smarts. If anyone can convince Joe to walk away, it’s Jill.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Travis Kelce blabbed on his weekly podcast that it was HIS idea to join girlfriend Taylor Swift onstage during one of her recent European concerts, but we just heard what he DIDN’T reveal. Travis also came up with the idea of appearing in one of Taylor’s upcoming music videos for her latest album and my source says that some of it has already been filmed. Unlike most of Taylor’s last lovers (who’ve preferred to keep things on the down low) Travis loves the spotlight and enjoys having their romance out in the open.

Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary on July 4 with an Instagram post but I’m hearing that the couple ( who many predicted wouldn’t last) also have a secret Independence Day tradition where they renew their wedding vows to one another in private. The notoriously private couple stunned their friends and family 22 years ago when they got married during a July 4 celebration and Julia confided to a pal that they’ve repeated their wedding vow tradition almost every year (a few times they were apart working so they did it on a different date).

Desperate to save his faltering presidential campaign, Joe Biden is on an interview tour as we exclusively reported. Now we are hearing that in addition to the tour, Biden is prepared to take a cognitive test and release the results regardless of how they turn out. My political source says that at this point the president is willing to try almost anything to prove to the American people that he’s capable of being president and not mentally challenged.

On the other hand we are also hearing that his presumptive Republican challenger Donald Trump is TERRIFIED that Biden will be replaced and he’ll have to run against someone younger. My source says that Donald thoroughly enjoys painting Biden as old and feeble, but he’s worried he will be the one looking frail against a younger Democratic candidate. Get this: He’s even started using his wife Melania’s skin serum and emulsion that she orders from a top plastic surgeon every month. Donald is suddenly taking his appearance seriously. In addition to the fancy potions he’s also updating his wardrobe in hopes of appearing younger than 78!

Finally, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made headlines for spending the holiday weekend on different coasts, but still wearing their wedding rings! For a couple seemingly on the verge of divorce, it’s odd that their rings are back on. Here’s what we know. Their marriage is rife with problems, including their different lifestyles (she loves the limelight and loves to live large, while he’s private and parsimonious). The only things they seem to have in common is incredible sexual chemistry and a true love and respect for one another. So for now, they’re not throwing in the towel, but are hoping to work out some sort of arrangement to stay married but live apart. As for the rings, we heard it was a calculated move to show the public they’re still working on their union.

GUESS WHO WANTS TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS!

This disguised music fan at UK’s Glastonbury Festival obviously didn’t want to be recognized – or flirted with, for that matter. She’s a beautiful Oscar nominated actress in her 20’s who’s not afraid to make herself look quite unappealing. You probably saw her last in Dune: Part Two. Yes, this is Florence Pugh, and she is notorious for her bold fashion choices. Florence is single and was last seen in the company of tall, blonde, and handsome UK photographer Charlie Gooch. Whether that relationship is still simmering remains to be seen…

WE TOLD YA SO!

No sooner did we have the world scoop that President Biden was either going to try to get another debate with Donald Trump scheduled immediately, or if that didn’t work, start granting interviews to major news network – that scoop came true! Less than 24 hours later, CNN revealed that the president has his first interview scheduled with ABC on this Friday. According to my well connected source, Trump passed on the idea of another debate (as we expected) so now in a last ditch effort to save his candidacy, President Biden will go on an interview blitz. Once again, we told you so!

JENNIFER LOPEZ AND THE BAD-LUCK HOUSE

Not only are Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck trying to unload the Beverly Hills mansion they purchased last year for $60 million (their asking price is $65 million) but my real estate source revealed that J.Lo is also hoping to sell ALL of the furnishings. Superstitious Jennifer is telling pals that her marriage to Ben was PERFECT until they bought that house and now she doesn’t want ANY reminders of it after it sells. Jen and Ben’s marital future remains shaky at best, but if they do wind up reconciling, Jen wants to be sure NOTHING from that house winds up in their new place.

CHER AND CHROME HEARTS: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Cher has become a major fan of home shopping and she doesn’t even have to turn on her TV. Although Cher has hawked various products on HSN over the years, her latest version of home shopping has the stores coming to her! It’s no secret Cher’s a huge fan of Chrome Hearts, and as we have previously reported, she’s turned her boyfriend, Alexander Edwards on to it as well. Since Covid, the flagship stores have a by appointment only policy, and that just doesn’t work for Cher, so whenever she’s in the mood to shop she has her salesclerk schlepp the stuff to her in Malibu. According to my source, over the past few months she ‘s dropped over $300,000 on clothing and jewelry for her and A.E.

PLAN B FOR PRESIDENT BIDEN

Here’s an interesting development from our wide-eyed Washington D.C. source: As the fallout from President Joe Biden’s recent debate disaster continues, his handlers and advisors are counting on a miracle to keep him in the race. The two pronged plan is to persuade his opponent, Donald Trump, to agree to another debate ASAP as a make or break the campaign moment. Since it’s unlikely Trump would agree since he has nothing to gain from it at this point, the plan B is for Biden to grant sit-down interviews with all of the major news networks. As my source explains, since the toothpaste is already out of the tube, the campaign is trying to salvage whatever it can and reset the narrative.
