POLITICS DIDN’T AGREE WITH DR OZ

Dr. Oz wants his old life back! The TV doc gave up his lucrative career to run for the US Senate from Pennsylvania, but his fame didn’t draw voters and and he suffered a humiliating and expensive defeat. He’s now trying to pick up the pieces and return to the greener pastures of television. His conservative right-wing campaign turned off most of Hollywood, including the person responsible for his success, Oprah Winfrey, so now the defeated doc is negotiating with FOX News for a show. Our source says that Oz’s political beliefs and nasty campaign all but destroyed his chances of returning to his former TV glory, and that’s why he’s turned to the conservative network in hopes of landing a show. Nothing has been green-lit YET, but there have been some significant meetings.

FRAN DRESCHER CAN’T RESIST A LITTLE GOSSIP

She’s the definition of having NO filter and SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher didn’t disappoint on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. Fran was asked by a reporter from People Magazine if any A-list stars have reached out to her with requests, now that she’s in charge of the powerful actors union. Without missing a beat, chatty Fran blurted out, “Barbra Streisand called  and asked me “Why aren’t I covered on [husband] Jim [Brolin]’s SAG healthcare anymore?”   Fans will remember Fran’s character on The Nanny was OBSESSED with Barbra, and the show even devoted an episode to her. No word yet on how Barbra will react to Fran’s revelation.

KRISTEN STEWART IGNORES RED CARPET RULES

Leave it to Kristen Stewart – and Chanel – to make a conservative style look racy. Kristen’s frock for the red carpet closing of the Berlin Film Festival has a high collar, long sleeves and it’s ankle length with buttons down the front. No slits, no scoops and no glitz – except for the shiny buttons. The dress just happens to be see-through, and Kristen only wore high black panties underneath. You can see almost all of her tattoos. None of those predictable slinky gowns for Kristen – remember, she wore hot pants to the Oscars a few years back…

WILL NOW-SINGLE ANDREW SHUE RETURN TO MELROSE PLACE?

Andrew Shue could use some good news and he might have just gotten some. EVERYONE knows Andrew is nursing a broken heart over his split from his wife, GMA host, Amy Robach. They were barely separated when she immediately rebounded with her co-anchor T.J. Holmes. His marriage may be over, but Andrew’s career might be getting a huge boost – he’s been tapped to lead the return of his hit 1990’s series, Melrose Place. The show had a short lived reboot in 2009 without the original cast, but this time around producers want to bring back as many of the ORIGINAL stars as possible, including Andrew and Heather Locklear among others. This could be the best thing to keep Andrew’s mind off of his romance woes.

JULIAN LENNON: THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Julian Lennon is wallowing in regret. According to a friend, the 59-year-old son (can you believe it?) of the late Beatle John was delighted to make a nice profit when he recently sold his Hollywood Hills home. But no sooner had the ink dried on the escrow papers, than Julian decided he really MISSED his old home! He knew the buyer purchased the modern house as an investment and planned to lease it. Julian reached out to the new buyer and negotiated to lease it himself. He’s still looking for a new place to buy, but in the meantime he’s happy to be back home.

TOMMY LEE’S WIFE HAS BIG IDEAS

Tommy Lee’s wife Brittany Furlan wants to be known for more than just being a rockstar’s wife, so she’s working on her comedy and hopes to become a stand-up comedienne. Before she met Tommy, Brittany made a name for herself with her funny online videos. We didn’t realize that they were SO popular that Time magazine named her one of the Most Influential People on the Internet in 2015! A friend reveals that while Brittany enjoys being a Malibu housewife, she misses her brief touch of fame and wants her own career. Once her comedy act is polished she’s hoping to start performing in clubs in LA and if she’s a hit she’ll take her show on the road. Let’s face it, she MIGHT have been just a LITTLE inspired by the current comeback of Tommy’s ex, Pamela Anderson…

HOW LOW CAN GEORGE SANTOS GO?

Disgraced Congressman George Santos’ seemingly never-ending lies have already tarnished him beyond repair, but this latest scandal could be the juiciest yet! It’s unproven, so don’t pop the popcorn too soon, but word on the street is that a former fling is shopping around a sex tape featuring George! To be clear, the existence of such a tape remains to be seen, but IF the rumors are accurate, George was filmed in intimate moments with a sex partner. The gossip is that the video was from his time living in Brazil, about the same time he was dressing up in drag.

THE FOOD NETWORK WANTS JENNIFER GARNER

Jennifer Garner might turn a hobby into a side hustle. Jennifer’s filmed nearly 50 of her Pretend Cooking Show which she shares on Instagram and YouTube, and its popularity has sparked interest at the Food Network. Although she’s FAR from a professional chef, Jennifer’s camera presence, charm, and relatable cooking skills (and LACK of, at times) all make for an enjoyable watch. Food Network executives are trying to talk Jen into turning her hobby into an anything BUT pretend show. Jen is a full time mom and a movie star, so she isn’t sure she wants to commit to a series, but she IS considering filming quarterly hour-long specials for the network. Her good friend, Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten is encouraging Jen to pursue the opportunity.

KATE MIDDLETON WANTS YOU TO LIKE HER

Kate Middleton wants to go from “the ice princess” to “the people’s princess.” Kate shocked the fashion world when she dared to pair a previously worn dress with $28 Zara earrings to the BAFTAS (the British version of the OSCARS) on February 19, but this was NOT fashion faux pas – it was a well- orchestrated fashion decision. According to an insider, Kate’s on a mission to repair her image after her brother-in-law Prince Harry described her in a less than flattering light in his autobiography, Spare. Kate came across as cold and not very relatable, so she’s quietly working with a PR pro whose sole purpose is to make her more popular than her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. The down-to-earth reworn dress and fake jewels are only the start. We’ve been told that the changes will be subtle over the next few months, but the end game is to make Kate warm and fuzzy. Note the sneakers…

DEMI MOORE: FAMILY COMES FIRST

Demi Moore is taking a hiatus from Hollywood to spend as much time as she can with her ailing ex-husband Bruce Willis. According to a friend, Demi recently turned down a lucrative opportunity because she didn’t want to be away from Bruce, their kids, his wife and their two daughters for too long. As Bruce’s condition deteriorates from a form of dementia, Demi is making him and their blended families her top priority. His disease has brought the entire family closer together and Bruce’s long-suffering wife Emma is very grateful. Bruce’s prognosis isn’t great, but Demi is remaining optimistic, and turning to Eastern medicine for remedies. For now she’s put the brakes on her career and will assess the situation as Bruce’s condition changes.
