CAN YOU AFFORD BRAD PITT’S FURNITURE?

 

When he’s not acting or producing, Brad Pitt dabbles in various business ventures, including rose wine (Miraval) and cashmere clothing (God’s True Cashmere)  Now he’s hoping to expand his empire into home furnishings.  Brad’s always been fascinated by architecture and design ( we’ve seen him at various Modernism shows in Los Angeles over the years) so now he wants to design furniture and accessories.  He’s working with European craftsmen and hopes to market his upscale items later next year.  Don’t get your hopes up – his price points are expected to be for the top 1%. REALLY expensive. Think $1500 for a small vase and $15,000 for a chair. That counts ME out…

MIKE PENCE IS GIVING HOLLYWOOD A SECOND GLANCE

Could Mike Pence go Hollywood? According to an insider, now that he’s suspended his presidential campaign, the former VP is focused on the next chapter of his career and has hired an agent to get him jobs. Before he announced his bid for the White House, Mike was quietly approached about appearing on Dancing With The Stars, and while flattered, his religious beliefs wouldn’t allow him to dance with anyone other than his wife. While that show is off the table, Mike is open to most anything else – including hosting a conservative talk show or even a reality show based on his family.

CAN MEG RYAN BRING BACK THE ROM-COM?

Meg Ryan is officially back! After an 8 year hiatus from Hollywood, Meg is returning to the big screen this November with David Duchovny in What Happens Later, which she also co-wrote and directed. We’ve been told that’s only the beginning of Meg’s return to filming. Behind closed doors she’s plotting to return to the movies that made her one of America’s sweethearts. She’d like to revisit some of her classic characters from Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally and You’ve Got Mail. Those rom-coms were the products of the late great Nora Ephron, so it’s a little complicated for Meg. She’ll have to secure the rights to those characters and develop scripts worthy of Nora’s signature style. Meg’s not giving up though, and her costars and pals, Tom Hanks and Billy Crystal, are open to revisiting those characters if the scripts are up to snuff.

ELLEN DEGENERES AND PORTIA: AUSTRALIA IS BECKONING!

Is Ellen DeGeneres gearing up to say see ya to the USA, and G’day mate to Australia? Ellen and her wife Portia De Rossi just listed their Montecito, California estate for $46.5 million and according to a friend, the reason is because they are now seriously thinking of relocating (at least for the majority of the time) to Portia’s homeland. There are  a few reasons for the move – first of all, Portia wants to be closer to her family and childhood friends. Ellen’s career is all but over, so she has no work reason to stick around, and they are both fed up with the politics of the USA. Their plan is to buy a smaller place in California and a large compound/working farm in Australia (Portia loves horses) and grow old together down under. We predict they will be flipping Australian houses also…

DOES KIM KARDASHIAN HAVE FANS LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT?

Will Kim Kardashian be able to do for the Baltimore Ravens what Taylor Swift did for the Kansas City Chiefs? Ever since Taylor started dating the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and attending his games, their ratings have skyrocketed. So now the Ravens are trying to get THEIR star player, Odell Beckham Jr, to persuade Kim to come watch a few games. My source says the rumors that Odell and Kim are seeing one another are TRUE – she’s looking for a boyfriend and this time wants a jock. Although Odell was MIA during Kim’s recent 43rd birthday party, he did send her a lavish floral arrangement along with a custom made Ravens jacket. The Ravens hope Kim will draw a lot of viewers to their games like Taylor has for the Chiefs. Team management told Odell they’d be grateful (think bonus) if he gets her to attend in a VIP suite. Will Kim cooperate?  SHOULD she?

A TALE OF TWO ELVISES

Jacob Elordi has some tough blue suede shoes to fill in the new Priscilla film by Sofia Coppola Needless to say,  Austin Butler’s performance last year in Elvis was a real knockout and some stiff competition. Butler also had a height advantage – he’s the same height as Elvis was, and Jacob, at 6’5″, is considerably taller. But from what we’ve heard,  Jacob SOUNDS more like Elvis than Butler did. We shall see. Actually both actors are very attractive and seem super-nice. Model Kaia Gerber knows best – she dated Jacob not long ago and now she’s hot n’ heavy with Austin Butler. Imagine going out with TWO Elvis impersonators!

SORRY KIM, TOM BRADY WANTS A LOW-KEY ROMANCE

Remember those rumors a while back about Tom Brady dating Kim Kardashian? Well, here’s the real story: According to a source, Kim turned on the charm and flirted shamelessly,  hoping to snag Tom – she gushed to a pal that he was her dream guy. While gentleman Tom was flattered by Kim’s advances, he nipped it right in the bud because she was just TOO FAMOUS! Tom wants to avoid the immense publicity that would come from dating Kim. Our source says that’s also the reason his once promising romance with Irina Shayk recently ended. The whole love triangle narrative between him, Irina and Bradley Cooper was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Long story short, Tom’s next romance will likely be with someone OUT of the spotlight.

BROOKLYN BECKHAM IS EYEING THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS

Brooklyn Beckham may have finally figured out what to do with his life. He and his wife, Nicole Peltz, are going into the restaurant business. The jet setting couple haves homes in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Miami, so now they want to open restaurants in each city. Brooklyn has spent the last few years honing his chef skills on his poorly-received online cooking show, Cookin With Brooklyn. Back then he barely knew how to boil water and online comments were abundant and cruel, but people watched.  Nevertheless, he’s become more confident with his cooking skills. For THEIR restaurants, Brooklyn and Nicole envision clubby style places that would appeal to their generation.

ANDY COHEN IS SEARCHING FOR A TRANSGENDER “REAL HOUSEWIFE “

It’s only taken 17 years, but my Bravo source says the network and Andy Cohen are getting ready to shake things up with the popular Real Housewives franchise. While bisexual and lesbian housewives have already been featured, Andy has put out a secret casting call looking for a married transgender housewife to join one of the franchises. My source says that Andy is open to casting an MTF (male to female) housewife in ANY of the show’s incarnations, meaning it could be in Beverly Hills, Atlanta, New Jersey or any other city they feature. Andy’s dream transgender housewife must be MARRIED to a MAN and live an over-the-top lavish lifestyle – meaning Caitlyn Jenner need not apply…

KELLY RIPA AND MARK CONSUELOS’ SEXY TALK APPALLS THEIR KIDS

It seems like Kelly Ripa can’t stop talking about her sex life now that her husband Mark Consuelos is her cohost on Live!. While the raunchy talk is bringing home the ratings, it’s making her sons, Michael and Joaquin, beyond embarrassed. While Kelly and Mark’s daughter Lola thinks it’s funny that her parents are blabbing about their bedroom shenanigans, their boys are mortified, especially when their mom spills her intimate secrets. A friend says that the boys have begged their parents to zip it when it comes to the sex talk on TV, but so far Kelly and Mark are refusing to heed the request. It doesn’t help the boys’ cause that the ratings seem to go UP when their still-in-love parents get down and dirty. For now, fans can expect more sex talk and Kelly and Mark can expect at least two unhappy kids.
