PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER: HIS LIPS ARE SEALED

Patrick Schwarzenegger can keep a secret.  Patrick is making a name for himself thanks to his breakout role in season 3 of The White Lotus, but he’s feeling the pressure from his mom Maria Shriver to spill the beans on what happens.  The cast and crew had to sign very strict NDA’s not to share of any of the plot twists with ANYONE, including significant others, friends and even moms.  Patrick didn’t even give his mom a heads up about his full frontal nude scene!  THAT’S  one of the reasons Maria has been begging him to let her in on any upcoming surprises so she can brace herself.

ELON MUSK MIGHT BE TESLA’S WORST ENEMY

Elon Musk continues to make enemies and lose billions as his Tesla shares tumble in value.  He won’t want to hear this, but we just learned that a group of fellow billionaires (we can’t name names but you can guess) are circling the company for a hostile takeover. They feel Elon’s unpopularity is eventually going to be the downfall of his electric vehicle business. The fact that Tesla is quickly losing its value , thanks in part to Elon’s political affiliations, has created an opportunity.  And someone is bound to jump on it….

 

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Justin Theroux was in the news this week for marrying his girlfriend, actress Nicole Bloom in Mexico and here’s what we know.  Lest anyone think Justin’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston was upset, read on.  Jen and Justin remain on great terms even though their marriage didn’t work out, and while she wasn’t invited to his destination wedding, that didn’t stop her from sending a gift.  Our inside source reveals Jen sent the lovebirds numerous place settings from their gift registry. (We are NOT surprised- Jennifer has always been an exceptionally decent  person.)

Former RHOBH star Teddi Mellencamp had a rough couple of weeks which she discussed on her popular podcast, Two T’s in a Pod.  We just heard that despite the challenges ahead of her, Teddi is maintaining a positive outlook and has a new project to keep her spirits up.  The accomplished equestrian is raising funds to build a horse camp for those undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.  Teddi feels the power of connecting with horses could benefit those dealing with major illnesses.  She’s leaning into her dad, rocker John Mellencamp to kick off the donations and is hoping to raise $20 million to buy the land and build the center in Los Angeles.

One of the biggest stories of the week doesn’t involve Hollywood, but if it does have a Hollywood ending.  The astronauts stranded in space finally returned back to earth and now we just heard a bidding war is going on for the rights to their stories.  Not only that, but since touching back down from space they have each received lucrative book offers.  We expect to see a movie in 2027 and the books by early 2026. It’s the best kind of “welcome back!”

Kanye West continues to make headlines for his unstable behavior and his latest outburst tops them all.  Long story short, cuckoo Kanye went on social media to call his ex wife Kim Kardashian a sex trafficker and to then question the mental abilities of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s young twins.  We also heard this.  Maybe even by the time you read this, Kanye could be locked away in a mental institution, since a group of his former and current associates are petitioning the court to institutionalize him under a 5150 hold. Some fear he’s a danger to himself and to others and that his latest rant was a cry for the help he seems to so desperately need.

Speaking of toxic politics, Donald Trump made headlines for pulling the secret service detail from Hunter Biden even though his predecessor former President Joe Biden allowed Trump’s adult children to continue with secret service protection for a longer transitional peridot.  Here’s what we know.  Private security can cost a fortune, so luckily for Hunter an associate with deep pockets has offered to pick up the tab so Hunter can have bodyguards.  Love him or hate him, Hunter is certainly a polarizing character and that’s why he feels the need for personal security.  While it won’t be the secret service, we heard it will be 24/7 protection.

JUSTIN BIEBER CONTINUES TO UNRAVEL

We have changed our mind about Justin Bieber’s very sad current condition.  At first we thought he was overreacting to manageable health problems, his canceled tour,  or losing his hair. But even the birth of his baby Jack failed to cheer him up. Justin is thinner and looking more downcast than ever, despite his resourceful wife Hailey’s successful business ventures. We  have to agree with people around him who predict that P Diddy is causing most of Justin’s problems- which DID happen to start when Diddy was arrested last fall. Horrific lawsuits and lurid charges against Diddy started piling up, and Justin’s name eventually came up because he was a companion of Diddy’s when he was just 15 years old. Justin calls his experience with Diddy “a nightmare” but provides no details. We believe those “details ” (possibly involving drugs and sex) just might be revealed, and THAT’S  why Justin is depressed.  He’s afraid of being publicly humiliated.

WE TOLD YA SO!

Way back on January 6 we were the ONLY site to reveal that Aubrey Plaza and her husband Jeff Baena were having marital problems, and were likely separated when he committed suicide.  Fast forward over two months later, and the medical examiner confirmed our scoop.  See link.  Even though our source was spot on and we had the world scoop, it still makes us sad that their marriage was in trouble when Jeff took his life…

DEMI MOORE: HOW TO FOOL YOURSELF AND EAT LESS

Although her character in The Substance lost her career for being too old, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who would deny that Demi Moore looks AMAZING, and now she’s been tapped to share her beauty, anti-aging, diet, and lifestyle tips in a book.  Demi’s busy writing away and until her book is released (slated for 2026)  we couldn’t help but share this one practical tidbit.  Our source reveals that Demi prefers to eat all of her meals on child-sized dishes for portion control.  Regardless of what she’s eating, Demi uses petite plates which she fills up.  While she plans on going into more detail in the book, the crux of it is that by using a small plate,  the mind is tricked into thinking it ate a full meal since the plate is full.

 

 

DEBRA MESSING: LOOK AT ME!

Nice to see Debra Messing getting lots of attention in this white fluffy outfit – and enjoying every minute of ! She is ecstatically promoting her new film The Alto Knights in which she plays the wife of notorious gangster Frank Costello (played by Robert De Niro)  back in  1950’s New York. Somehow De Niro plays both Costello AND his arch-rival Vito Genovese, who start out as best friends and end up in a power struggle to control the streets in this documentary style film. It’s a switch for Debra – she usually plays comedy roles. Barry Levinson is director and we love movies set in the 50’s, so we’ve gotta see this!

CATHERINE O’HARA WILL BE CHECKING IN

Season 3 still has half its episodes to air, but Mike White, who created the extremely popular White Lotus series, is already casting season 4.  We can exclusively reveal that once again Mike has cast actors who appeared in his movie, Best in Show . (White Lotus stars Jennifer Coolidge and Parker Posey both appeared in the 2000 quirky comedy.)  Season 4 of White Lotus will star none other than Catherine O’Hara and while the script is still being worked on, she is set to play a very wealthy matriarch similar to her over-the-top character in her series Schitt’s Creek.

KOURTNEY TO TRAVIS: RETHINK THOSE TATTOOS!

Will Travis Barker follow in the footsteps of the man who could have been his brother-in-law, Pete Davidson, and remove some of his tattoos?  Well, he will if his wife Kourtney Kardshian gets her way.  Pete, who famously dated Kourtney’s sister Kim, recently spent over $200,000 having many of his tattoos removed, and now Kourtney is encouraging Travis to do the same.  Although Kourtney still finds most of her  drummer hubby’s ink sexy, she fears the older he gets the worse it will look on sagging skin.  She recently asked him to start out small and undergo one laser tattoo removal and he’s agreed.  While we don’t expect him to go completely ink free, our source says he will do almost anything to please Kourtney, so expect to see him with less tattoos in the near future. But where will he start?

 

PRISONER DANNY MASTERSON WANTS OUT – OR ELSE

Convicted rapist Danny Masterson could follow in the footsteps of Leah Remini and pull back the curtain on the dirty deeds of Scientology.  Danny, who is serving a lengthy prison term, recently griped to a pal that he feels ABANDONED by Scientology ever since he was convicted of sex crimes.  He hasn’t made up his mind,  but he IS hinting to pals that unless the religion/cult starts working to get his sentence overturned, he intends to write a tell-all book which will expose far more than Leah ever did!  We have mixed feelings about this one since he was convicted of rape, but confess we’d be lying if we didn’t admit that we will be first in line to read it!

(Above is Danny’s last photo before verdict came down)
