MADONNA: CONCERT OR FASHION SHOW?

Madonna just announced her upcoming world tour celebrating 40 plus years as a musical icon and the show will be a fashionista’s dream. Prepare to get an eyeful of Madonna. On past tours Madonna would rely on one designer to create costumes – this time she’s spreading the love and plans on using as many designers as she can get. Her longtime collaborator, Jean Paul Gaultier is just one of many she’s leaning on to create some showstoppers. Also on the list – Donatella Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney -just to name a few. She’s also planning to hire up-and-coming designers to create some original looks so fans can expect PLENTY of costume changes. Her iconic Gaultier cone bra is already getting revamped for the tour. If her bleached eyebrows and gold teeth (above) are any indication- her costumes will be outrageous…

BEN AFFLECK JUST CANNOT CURB THAT URGE

The honeymoon isn’t over for rekindled lovebirds Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck but that doesn’t mean everything between them is marital bliss. While J.Lo is thrilled to finally be married to Ben, there’s one habit of his she’s trying to curb – he smokes cigarettes. Sober Ben seems to have replaced his booze addiction with nicotine and health fanatic Jen doesn’t approve. She’s banned him from smoking inside the house, but still isn’t thrilled with the second hand smoke that seems to enter the room before he does. And Ben appears to light up whenever he’s out and alone. A friend says Jen is gently encouraging Ben to quit with assorted methods, including hypnosis and nicotine gum, but so far he’s yet to kick that nasty habit.

MEGHAN MARKLE IS A MONTECITO HOUSEWIFE

Now that she’s been relieved of any royal duties, Meghan Markle is turning into quite the housewife (wouldn’t Bravo love to have HER on their series!) Meghan has started to develop friendships with some of her neighbors in Montecito, where she lives with Prince Harry. She was recently invited to join a women’s club that some of her wealthy neighbors started years back. One of the holiday traditions of the group is an annual bake-off and this year Meghan WON with her brown sugar crusted pumpkin loaf. Imagine that. An insider reveals that Meghan has taken up baking and has been experimenting with different baked goods, telling friends it’s “therapeutic.” We’ll see how long THIS lasts…

GEORGE SANTOS HAS A PLAN B IF CONGRESS DUMPS HIM

Congressional conman George Santos has a backup plan if his time as a NY Congressman comes to an abrupt end. The disgraced politician could be ousted from Congress for multiple reasons -including lying about almost everything on his resume, possible campaign fraud, and even potential criminal charges in Brazil. If he does get booted, the rumored former drag queen plans to cash out with a tell-all book ironically titled, And Nothing But The Truth, which he has been quietly pre-shopping around to publishers. Although he has zero credibility,  a publishing house insider explains that a book could be a best seller if he comes clean on everything. He’s lied about so much and fooled so many of his constituents that if he’s capable of confessing the truth, it could sell well. For now though, George has insisted he’s staying in Congress, so any book deal hinges on him getting expelled.

PARIS AND KIM: THE SAME BIOLOGICAL MOTHER?

Former best friends Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian have grown close again after falling out years ago. SO close in fact, that they’re sharing secrets and maybe even a surrogate! Kim used a surrogate when she last added to her brood and newlywed Paris is struggling to conceive, so Kim suggested Paris do what she did and use the same woman to carry her baby. The insider says that Kim did her research and paid a premium for the woman she decided was the most qualified surrogate. Money isn’t a problem for Paris either, so if she goes that route, she’s likely to use the same woman.

A SURPRISE PERFORMANCE BY AUSTIN BUTLER

Austin Butler credits the late Lisa Marie Presley for helping him in his award winning role as her father Elvis Presley, so he’s planning to pay his respects to her with a touching performance. Austin was with Lisa Marie at the Golden Globes less than 48 hours before her unexpected death and while he’s clearly in a state of shock and mourning, he wants to honor her at her memorial this Sunday. Austin is booked solid in the middle of Hollywood awards season, but he’s moving things around and plans to attend her memorial at Graceland. He’s been offered a private jet to make the commute easier and according to one insider, hopes to sing at least one of Elvis’s songs, Separate Ways. The lesser known song was never a hit for Elvis, but something about its darker lyrics captivated Lisa Marie, and she often said it was one of her favorites.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

 

 

They were the PERFECT couple -with gorgeous looks, successful careers, health, wealth -everything dreams are made of!  UNTIL their relationship unexpectedly ended!  Fans were shocked and couldn’t figure out what happened.  Despite their well crafted public image of being passionately in love, actually they hadn’t had sex in YEARS! At least not with each other…  When the romance fizzled out, they made an arrangement to discreetly see other people, and that charade lasted for years.  Now that they’re getting older, one partner got tired of sneaking around and wanted the freedom to openly date – THAT’S why they’re now both on the market.

JONAH HILL LOVES A POLITICAL SCANDAL

George Santos put the CON in Congress and now the disgraced newly-elected NY Congressman’s web of lies could be turned into a limited TV series, thanks to Jonah Hill. Practically everything out of his mouth and on his resume has been one giant lie, but Santos was still able to persuade a majority of savvy New Yorkers to elect him as their representative. More and more of his fabrications seem to come out daily and as disgusting as it is, it’s also one of the most interesting political scandals since Donald Trump’s shenanigans. According to a friend, Jonah is fascinated by this sociopath who was elected to office, and he’s eager to set aside his surf board and produce and star in his own series. He hopes to secure the story rights and sell the idea to Netflix. Jonah has a good relationship with the streaming giant since starring in their hit movie, Don’t Look Up.

PRINCE HARRY FEARS HE REVEALED TOO MUCH IN BOOK- BEEFING UP SECURITY!

Here’s a story you won’t read in Prince Harry’s just released bestseller autobiography, Spare – he’s beefed up security ever since he revealed in the book that he killed 25 Taliban insurgents while serving two stints in Afghanistan for the British military! Harry explained the killings in detail and he now fears that he overshared, and has become a target for revenge. The Taliban and Islamic fundamentalists might not take this info lightly. An insider says Harry has quietly beefed up his already impressive security presence around his Montecito estate, as well as his personal bodyguards when traveling. Although not confirmed, one resident of the area reveals that Harry may have received some threats and was informed by either US or British intelligence, which would explain the sudden added guards.

BRAD PITT’S LUCKY NUMBER

It’s hard to imagine but according to a friend, the usually sensible Brad Pitt is actually superstitious – with 12 being his lucky number. Pay attention… Brad was nominated for his first Oscar for 12 Monkeys, then in 2012 was nominated twice for Moneyball before finally taking home the coveted award a few years later for 12 Years A Slave. Brad even has “12” discreetly tattooed on his body. He recently confided to a friend that he and his then-wife Angelina Jolie originally planned to have 12 kids. Speaking of kids, the insider says Brad is definitely open to having more. He’s been dating 30-year-old jewelry designer Ines De Ramon for months now and they’ve already had the talk about babies, with Brad saying he definitely wants more.
