MARTHA PLIMPTON: LONG TIME NO SEE!

Martha Plimpton was a hot commodity as a rebellious teen in the 80’s. The Goonies made her a star and the late River Phoenix was her boyfriend for a few years. She’s had a busy career on stage and screen since then, but we don’t see her a lot of her because she lives part-time in London. Longtime activist Martha DID show up with her two adorable dogs to picket Warner Brothers yesterday with other SAG-AFTRA strikers. AND she has a new miniseries for HBO called The Regime, coming out in 2024. No doubt she’s home celebrating today because the strike is OVER!!!

MATTHEW PERRY’S BATMAN COLLECTION IS UP FOR GRABS

Turns out the late Matthew Perry spent a considerable amount of his Friends’ fortune on Batman memorabilia. He identified with both Batman and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne – that’s why he often called himself “Mattman.” When he couldn’t sleep at night, he’d scroll on eBay for more Batman collectibles. Now his family is planning to auction off his collection to raise money for his drug and alcohol foundation. My source estimates that Mathew’s extensive collection of everything Batman could fetch millions at auctions for two reasons – many of the collectible items are rare AND the provenance of them being owned and treasured by Matthew increases the value. Though still in mourning, the family wants to focus on turning the proceeds from the auction into a cash infusion for the foundation they just launched. This IS what Matt would have wanted…

BARRON TRUMP HAS HIS OWN IDEAS

Like many 17-year-olds, Barron Trump is applying to colleges and he plans on going AWAY to school, far, far away.  Now that his father is running for President again, Barron wants to get as far away as he can from the political craziness, so that means leaving the country! Barron gets decent grades, and is hoping to get accepted into Cambridge or Oxford – two of the top universities in the UK. Unlike his half siblings, 6’7″ Barron prefers to stay OUT of the spotlight and feels studying abroad makes the most sense. (Indeed, he does look uncomfortable in every photo we see of him) Here’s the kicker – his loving mom Melania is planning to move across the pond if Barron gets accepted as a student in England…hmmm

WHAT SHOULD HARRY AND MEGHAN CALL THEIR WINE?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are following in the footsteps of former couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – no they’re NOT getting divorced, they’re launching their own wine. As we all know,  Santa Barbara County where Harry and Meg live, is home to some respectable wineries. Like many celebrities, the former royals are hoping to get in on the growing industry. My source says that Meg and Harry are scouring the area looking for the ideal land to grow grapes – ideally something with small slopes which are preferred for vines. If things go according to plan, they’d like to be up and running next year. They’re already designing bottles and labels, and tossing around possible names…  Any suggestions?

DEMI MOORE IS DETERMINED TO HELP HER EX, BRUCE WILLIS

Demi Moore goes to great lengths to maintain her beauty and health (she looks fabulous) and it pays off. Now she’s doing what she can to help her ex-husband Bruce Willis in his battle with dementia. According to a friend, Bruce’s health and memory are deteriorating, so Demi – with the blessing of Bruce’s wife Emma Heming – installed a full size red light therapy bed at Bruce’s home. Demi shelled out close to $100,000 for the top of the line bed and installation. This alternative red light therapy has shown some promising results in various medical ailments including dementia -and while it’s a long shot- Demi wants to try everything in her desire to improve Bruce’s life.

THE POWER OF TAYLOR SWIFT

Not EVERYONE is happy with Taylor Swift’s blossoming romance with Travis Kelce, and one person who’s on that list is Travis’s close friend (and teammate) Patrick Mahomes. Ever since she started dating Travis, Taylor has taken Patrick’s wife, Brittany, under her wing and introduced her to her A-list pals. In a few short weeks Brittany has gone from being a stay-at-home mom and football wife to painting the town red with Taylor and her fancy friends. My source observed that Patrick isn’t exactly thrilled. Here’s why. All the girls in Taylor’s posse are accomplished in various fields, including entertainment, modeling, and entrepreneurship, and now Brittany is second guessing HER life’s goals. Since she and Patrick were high school sweethearts, she’s never gotten to do much of anything for her own career.  Being around Taylor and her group of independent women has sparked something in Brittany. My source says Patrick loves the woman he married, but fears she’s quickly morphing into someone else.

KOURTNEY, TRAVIS, AND ROCKY MIGHT MAKE A RUN FOR IT

New parents, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker might become new neighbors with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Kourtney and Travis are quietly looking at property in the same fancy area of Montecito, California, where Meg and Harry (among other A-listers) call home. With a baby boy (named Rocky) to focus on, Kourtney wants to remove herself from the seemingly never ending drama with her family. Since they all live within a few miles of each other now, Kourtney wants to relocate, and both she and Travis love Montecito. They’ve secretly toured a few homes already and according to my source, they’re hoping to move right after the holidays.

TERI COPLEY IS SUDDENLY IN DEMAND

As the old saying goes, even bad publicity is good publicity, and that’s proving true for blast from the past Teri Copley. The actress, a popular starlet in the  1980’s (We Got It Made) hasn’t had much of a career for ages, but that’s suddenly changing. After John Stamos wrote in his memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, about their love affair and her alleged cheating on him with actor Tony Danza, Teri has been introduced to an entirely new audience. EVERYBODY wants HER side of the story- and more. A longtime friend reveals that in addition to a surge in popularity for her podcast, Teri is suddenly being wooed for acting jobs in the genre of Jennifer Coolidge. My source says Teri is being considered for “hot mom” roles…

SANDRA BULLOCK PLANS TO FIGHT ALS

Not only is Sandra Bullock writing big checks to ALS research – her partner Bryan Randall recently passed away from the cruel disease – but she’s also planning to use her mega star power to raise millions more. In the three months since Bryan’s passing, Sandra has been brainstorming for a way to raise funds for research in hopes of finding a cure. She’s not sure if she wants to host a televised fundraiser or an annual charity gala, but the time she’s spent working on this cause has made her loss a bit more bearable. My source explained that this is one way Sandra feels connected to Bryan and can keep his memory alive.

OPRAH HAS AN IDEA

Oprah Winfrey is HOPING to score what could be one of her biggest interviews ever – a sit-down with Britney Spears and her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake. Britney made headlines with the bombshells regarding Justin in her memoir, The Woman In Me, with the most shocking being her secret at home abortion at 19. While Justin has remained tight lipped on the subject, Oprah thinks she can heal the pain between them with a joint interview. She envisions ratings that could rival those from her chat with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. So far neither Britney nor Justin has agreed but relentless Oprah isn’t one to give up.
