TAYLOR SWIFT ROLLS OUT THE RED CARPET FOR THE ROYALS

Taylor Swift’s London concerts were the place to be as everyone from Tom Cruise, Travis Kelce and Prince William with his two oldest children showed up. Williams’s wife, Kate Middleton couldn’t make it since she’s still recovering, and was told to avoid large crowds. Not only did Taylor pose for photos with William and the happy kids, she also recorded a personalized video for Kate, wishing her a speedy recovery and promising her the best seats in the house for any of her future concerts when she recovers! And that’s not all, Taylor also gave Prince George and Princess Charlotte bags of concert swag, which she signed for the starstruck kids.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Billy Ray Cyrus’s Achy Breaky Heart broke again this week when he filed for an annulment from his estranged wife, Australian singer Firerose. While the headlines were scandalous -with both sides leveling accusations against one another- I am hearing it’s going to get even messier. Firerose is now trying to get Billy’s estranged daughter Miley and his ex-wife Tish to testify on her behalf about his history of alleged abuse. As my source puts it, the gloves are off and the punches are coming.

Travis Kelce was on the news when he was seen partying hard on Tuesday in Nashville Tennessee, but his trip wasn’t all fun and games. We heard that when he wasn’t living it up, Travis was actually checking out commercial real estate as he and his teammate Patrick Mahomes are eyeing opening a location of 1587 Prime, their Kansas City steakhouse in Nashville. Only this time their business partner will be Travis’ better half Taylor Swift. Their thinking is while there may not be many Kansas City Chief fans in Nashville, there are plenty of Taylor Swift fans there to fill the seats.

Madonna made the news when a lawsuit two concertgoers filed against her was abruptly dismissed on their part. The suit centered around Madonna starting her concert two hours late and claimed fraud. Here’s what we know. Madonna quickly filed an Anti-Slapp lawsuit against the two so that they would be legally responsible for her legal bills if they lost the seemingly frivolous case. Mere moments after the suit was filed, the duo’s case was dropped. Once again, learn your lesson people, don’t mess with Madonna.

Kevin Costner made the news when he spoke fondly about his time on Yellowstone in a cover story in People magazine. Here’s what we know. The reason for Kevin‘s sudden change of heart is because he’s quietly negotiating to rejoin the show for one final season. Kevin’s interview was his way of extending an olive branch, and if a deal can be reached, Kevin will be back on the popular show.

Finally, the big story of the week was Justin Timberlake’s arrest in Sag Harbor, New York for an alleged DUI. We are hearing two things. Justin‘s wife Jessica Biel has been telling friends that Justin seems to be going through a major midlife crisis as he’s no longer a member of one of the worlds most popular boy bands, but now a middle-aged man with wrinkles and thinning hair. From another source though, we are hearing something a little more nefarious. Some music industry insiders are speculating that the whole incident was planned to give Justin an excuse to postpone or cancel his world tour amid sluggish ticket sales. Although Justin’s team has already come out and denied it to TMZ, my sources agree that he will likely do a stint in rehab to repair his tarnished image.

THE GOLDEN BACHELOR IS GETTING MORE THAN A DIVORCE

The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and his newlywed bride turned ex-wife Theresa Nist just finalized their divorce after a whirlwind courtship ending in a televised wedding. The ill-fated breakup took place in long distance (he lives in Indiana and she in New Jersey) and even though their divorce is complete, my source reveals that Theresa is now trying to ANNUL the marriage. It’s a lengthy and more complicated process, but long story short, Theresa just wants to put the entire fiasco behind her. There’s likely more to THIS split than meets the eye…

DONALD TRUMP HAS EXCUSES FOR ALL OCCASIONS

Loyal readers will know we’ve had more than our fair share of Donald Trump scoops (even one this week about his plans to stay in Chicago and not the host city of Milwaukee during the upcoming Republican National Convention). Well here’s another juicy scoop. Our inside source reveals there’s a good chance Donald might skip the upcoming debate with President Joe Biden, since behind VERY closed doors, plans are already being drafted to come up with the perfect excuse! My source says that Donald doesn’t LIKE to be in settings he can’t control and the stringent rules drafted by CNN don’t work well for his loose cannon personality. If his debate preps don’t go smoothly, you can bet that Donald will have some excuse to bow OUT. My source adds that it will likely be blamed on a family emergency or a mechanical issue on his plane, but nothing health related that could make Trump appear old and feeble.

PARIS FASHION WEEK FOR MEN

Paris Fashion Week is bringing us up to date on menswear now and we have to admit it’s funny, but more than a little scarey. Looks like the male designers are trying to outdo the outrageous designers of women’s wear, and they are succeeding. Can you imagine anyone you know dressing like this? How about a celebrity? Walter Van Bierendock is the designer here who thinks men should loosen up and be more innovative…

WE TOLD YA SO!

On June 16 we had the exclusive scoop that Donald Trump was staying in Chicago and NOT in Milwaukee during the upcoming Republican National Convention. Two days later, none other than ABC NEWS confirmed our scoop from MULTIPLE SOURCES! (See link below) Unlike ABC NEWS, we didn’t need multiple sources since our source is THAT good. Once ABC reported on our scoop, the Trump campaign was quick to deny it because they realized the optics looked terrible. Our source says that persnickety Donald is scheming for a way to get out of spending any nights in Milwaukee but if he is forced to, he plans on bringing his own linens and pillows to the less than 5-star hotels the city offers.

TAYLOR SWIFT IS LOOKING AT BEN AND JEN’S HOUSE

Our alert real estate source reveals that the $65 million Beverly Hills home just listed by owners Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck already has another A-list celebrity interested – Taylor Swift! Although she already owns a home not far from the property Jen and Ben are trying to unload, it’s nowhere near as palatial as this place. More important, this home checks all of Taylor’s boxes – it’s behind two sets of gates and is big enough to raise a large family which is what Taylor is hoping to do with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. Taylor is still overseas on her Eras tour, but she’s already looked at the home via FaceTime video, and plans to take a personal tour of it as soon as she’s back in Los Angeles. Let’s face it, not too many people can afford a $65 million home, but for billionaire Taylor it’s pocket change…

SCARLETT JOHANSSON HAS BIG PLANS FOR COLIN JOST

Scarlett Johansson wants to add casting director to her already accomplished resume. Scarlett’s husband, SNL writer and Weekend Update host Colin Jost is spending his summer hiatus from the show on tour with his comedy show, Colin Jost and Friends. According to my source, while Scarlett is happy for her husband, she’d rather he spend his downtime away from SNL with her. Although he has no current plans to leave the show, Scarlett is already making plans for when Colin does – she wants to cast him in one of her movies. As my source explains it, Scarlett can tolerate Colin touring the country over a few months in the summer, but once he leaves SNL, she doesn’t want to be married to a touring comic, so that’s why she’s laying the groundwork for him to break out into acting.

BRAD PITT IS LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT

Facing career backlash after his older daughter dropped his last name, Brad Pitt is telling pals he’s ready to pack up and get out of dodge. Although she’s a Jersey girl, Brad’s significant other Ines de Ramon went to college in Geneva, Switzerland and still considers it her second home. Now Brad and Ines are quietly looking at estates there in hopes of making it their residence. Ever since Brad’s daughter Shiloh changed her last name from Pitt to Jolie, Brad fears he’s ripe for a Hollywood cancellation so he wants to focus on crafting furniture, art and fashion, and believes Switzerland is the perfect place to fuel his creative mind.

WE TOLD YA SO!

On June 7 in our seemingly popular Here’s What We Know feature we revealed that Jennifer Lopez was planning a summer vacation now that she canceled her music tour. It only took them 10 days, but People magazine just confirmed our scoop. (See link below) What People didn’t know is that J.Lo plans to spend part of the summer traveling with her kids but will definitely meet up with Ben Affleck and his kids and turn it into a make or break summer vacation. They’re both hoping to save their marriage and this vacation, if it turns out as planned, could be just the thing.
