BAD BUNNY AND HIS FAVORITE BOOTS

We happen to like Bad Bunny  (Benito Martinez Ocasio) in his butter yellow suit – but not so sure about the cowboy boots. He wears these boots a LOT- maybe he likes the extra height they provide. His necktie looks like braided blonde hair – this guy is definitely a fashionista…

ALYSA LIU: LOVE IT OR LOATHE IT

Now here’s a fashion surprise. Alysa Liu turned up at the Time 100 Sports Gala in New York wearing this see-thru black lacey gown. Definitely NOT sporty- but very sexy. Something Jennifer Lopez might wear.  An odd choice  for ice skater Alysa, who is currently a House Ambassador for Louis Vuitton. We have to assume it’s a Vuitton dress- is she allowed to wear something else? We also happen to think it just doesn’t do her justice- what do you think?

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

One of the biggest stories of the week actually happened overseas, with Prince Harry making a long awaited return to his native London to meet with his father King Charles. Here’s what we know. The trip opened up a can of worms for Harry , because he realized he missed spending time in England since most of his friends are there. While he enjoys his life in Montecito, he hasn’t made a group of friends like he has in England , and he finds it can be lonely. Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are now looking to buy a flat in the Chelsea area of London since they have decided to spend more time there so Harry can reconnect with his friends  – and hopefully reconcile with his brother, Prince William.

 

SNL star Chloe Fineman made headlines when she announced she was leaving the popular skit show after 7 spectacular seasons.  Although we don’t understand why Chloe is involved in Scientology, her beliefs aside, she is arguably one of the most talented performers the show has seen in decades (her celebrity impersonations are legendary).  Here’s what we know.  Although Chloe is leaving SNL, she’s not leaving producer Lorne Michaels. He’s planning to produce a movie specifically for her,  and the script is already being developed.

 

The passing of Kris Jenner’s mom at 91 was in the news.  My source tells me this.  Kris is very superstitious and believes the common notion that death comes in threes.  Days before her mom passed , she also lost her longtime bodyguard.  Kris, who is actually quite religious ( we didn’t know this) is confiding to pals that she hopes the common myth of death in threes doesn’t happen this time and she has been saying a special prayer.

 

The passing of Senator Lindsey Graham made international headlines and while we don’t condone speaking ill of the dead we will tell you what we just heard but please don’t shoot the messenger.  A scathing unauthorized biography about Lindsey has been in the works for some time now, but the project was unexpectedly shelved until now.  My source in the literary world tells me that the once dead project is suddenly back ON and it will address the rumors of Lindsey’s sexuality since he was thought to be gay , but never addressed it.  Again, we aren’t condoning outing anyone , we are just telling you what we just heard.

 

Another Senator also made headlines with Mitch McConnell’s mysterious illness still generating press.  We can tell you this.  The photo his camp released to quiet the shatter that he was either dead or a vegetable didn’t accomplish much as the word is that it was possibly AI generated.  My source says that the photo was legit , but they’re hearing Mitch might have lost his ability to speak – or at least speak clearly – due to a stroke , and THAT’S why he isn’t releasing any videos or taking interviews.

 

Katie Holmes was talked about when photos of her in NY with a new man, artist Jason Yarmosky appeared in print.  We can tell you this.  Katie and Jason have actually been secretly seeing each other for months and the photos were a deliberate attempt to go public with the romance.  My source says that Jason has already met Katie’s daughter with Tom Cruise, Suri , and that the romance is more serious than most people know. The source explains that Katie is a more of a monogamous person than a serial dater and the source wouldn’t be surprised if she gets engaged to Jason.

 

P. Diddy was in the news when he sold his beloved Miami mansion for $55 million.  My source reveals this.  None other than his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez was interested in the property since she loves Miami, but her offer included a contingency that she sell her $50 million Beverly Hills home first.  That home still hasn’t sold , so Diddy wound up taking another offer to unload the waterfront Miami estate.  Don’t be too surprised though if J.Lo buys a different property in the area once she cashes out of her Beverly Hills property.

RICHARD GERE AND HIS LEADING LADY

Talk about type casting.  Richard Gere is currently on location in New York filming Asymmetry- which is based on the acclaimed book of the same name by Lisa Halliday. It’s an unusual love story described as “emotional, insightful, and really funny.”  Gere plays a 70 year old successful author who falls in love with a young editorial assistant played by Diana Silvers. The age difference is something Richard knows a lot about – in real life he’s 76 and his wife is 43. The movie examines the ups and downs of this romantic situation.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Yikes!  Our guy looks bad and there are no two ways about it.  He’s blamed his gaunt and unhealthy appearance on the usual “exhaustion,” but that’s not the entire story. You see,  he recently started seeing someone who he’s very attracted to,  and their sexual chemistry is off the charts ( he’s into kinky sex and so is his new girlfriend).  Unfortunately though, this gal is bad news, and has gotten our guy hooked on the high of prescription painkillers.  He’s popping pills like breath mints – and they’re taking a toll on his appearance.  Friends, family and coworkers are worried , and recently held an intervention.  He’s agreed to enter rehab just as soon as there’s a break in his hectic schedule.

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This show has been on forever and is still quite popular – despite the fact that its stars ( or in this case cohosts) literally despise each other!  Sure, on camera they act like they’re all chummy chummy,  but behind the scenes it’s a completely different story.  One of the stars recently made a very off-color comment that didn’t sit well with the others, and producers feared it would somehow leak out and turn into a public relations disaster. They shelled out a 7 figure bonus to buy the silence, and in the process made everyone sign a new set of NDA’s forbidding them from ever discussing anything that happens behind the scenes.

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

There’s already trouble in paradise for these fairly recent newlyweds.  You see,  our gal was vulnerable when she started seeing her guy, and even though he’s rich and famous and treats her like a princess, he’s physically NOT her type.  She recently began therapy to overcome her confusion as to why she’s not more attracted to her mate.  That didn’t seem to work , so now she’s turned to drinking heavily and even drugs like MDMA ( a form of ecstasy) to put her in the mood.  She recently confided her feelings to a group of girlfriends because  she fears she’s ruining her health with the toxic substances.  Her inner circle advised her to END the marriage – so a divorce announcement could come at anytime.

GUESS WHO!!

NO SEQUEL FOR BLAKE LIVELY AND JUSTIN BALDONI

As the legal wrangling between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continues, (now they’re fighting over attorney’s fees) a source close the the production of their movie It Ends With Us reveals that there’s rumblings that the sequel, It Starts With Us, (against all odds) will still get made.  Justin still holds the rights to the film version of the sequel, and the current idea being floated is that his and Blake’s characters will be recast with new actors.  My source says that executives feel the film adaptation is worth doing , since the original movie did so well at the box office , but they know there’s NO plausible way that Blake and Justin can work together again.

ALYSA LIU IS PUTTING THE SKATES AWAY FOR NOW

Since her post Olympic gig of Stars on Ice has ended, gold medalist Alysa Liu is trading some of her time on the ice for time in front of the camera.  The champion figure skater is working on a pilot talk show for MTV!  According to my source, the once dominant music network is trying to attract more viewers , and they feel a talk show geared toward the Gen Z audience would be a huge success . Of course, no one better represents that group than Alysa , with her striped hair, piercings, and “girls just wanna have fun” winning attitude.  Her tour on ice recently wrapped , so now Alysa is working with executives on what her age group would like to see in a show,  with a pilot scheduled to be filmed before the end of summer.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Omigosh! This photo popped up on Instagram and brought back a flood of memories. Back in the 70’s when David Lee Roth became lead singer of Van Halen, it started some legendary clashes between David and Eddie. Some fans claimed that the flashy Roth had more personality than voice , but he made the band more successful. They earned lots of money, but drugs and egos made the group dysfunctional.  Both guys were at their hottest in this photo. Eddie died from cancer in 2020 , and last we heard , David is still actively touring…
