Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

THE BEAT GOES ON AT THE WHITE LOTUS

SPOILER ALERT! White Lotus fans: stop reading unless you’re curious about what might happen at the end of the third season. According to our well placed source (who accurately predicted that Jennifer Coolidge’s death would be addressed this season) here’s what else is likely to unfold. Our source, who was privy to some of the script development, predicts that Walton Goggins’ character Rick has one of the biggest plot twists – it will be revealed that the owner of the resort I actually his long lost father! As for Jason Isaacs’ smug character Timothy, the entire plot line about the FBI will turn out to be much ado about nothing and before the week is over he’s exonerated when his corrupt business partner takes the fall. The gal drama between Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon and Leslie Bib’s characters also ends well – they mend their childhood friendships after a series of catty fights. And yes, spa manager Natasha Rothwell inherits all of the money once she uncovers that it was Greg who killed Jennifer Coolidge’s character. Again these are predictions, because series creator and show runner Mike White always shoots alternate versions to keep the cast and crew from blabbing!

EXES JENNIFER MEYER AND TOBEY MAGUIRE ARE STILL BEST FRIENDS

We are SO happy to report some good news for a change. Jennifer Meyer is getting married and her ex-husband Toby Maguire will be there! According to my source, the well-connected jewelry designer is tying the knot with her billionaire fiancé, Geoffrey Ogunlesi in early January 2026 in a destination wedding. It will be her former studio head father Ron Meyer who walks Jen down the aisle, but Tobey has been tapped to be a part of the wedding party and give a heartfelt toast. Although their marriage didn’t work out, there’s absolutely no bad blood between Tobey and Jen. In fact, they’re closer now that they’re divorced and consider each other best friends, so that’s exactly why Jen insisted on including Tobey when she ties the knot for the second time. Too bad all divorces can’t end up like this…

ELON MUSK: HOW TO BE VERY, VERY, UNPOPULAR

Elon Musk isn’t making any friends in Washington DC, so if this actually happens, remember where you read it. Elon is quickly making enemies on both sides of the aisle and now, according to my well placed source, there’s a secret effort underway to revoke his citizenship! Although it’s a long shot, the process is called denaturalization, and can happen under certain conditions -including misrepresentation of facts during the citizenship process or treason! Since Elon was born in South Africa and is a naturalized citizen, it actually COULD happen if he eventually alienates enough members of Congress.

KYLIE JENNER BLAMES JENNIFER LOPEZ

Don’t invite Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Jenner to the same event, because my inside source revealed that drama is about to heat up between the two. Jennifer and Kylie shared the same hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero, who tragically passed away a few days ago after a trip to Dubai where he styled J.Lo’s hair for a business event. My source explains that Jesus wasn’t feeling well in Dubai, and possibly was suffering from pneumonia. Unlike Kylie, who would fly him to jobs with her on her private jet, Jennifer flew him commercial, even though he complained of being under the weather. Which is perfectly fine. BUT my source says that Kylie is secretly griping to pals that Jennifer should be ashamed of herself for not letting Jesus fly home with her on the private jet. Of course there’s no evidence that flying private would have saved Jesus, but Kylie feels it was Jennifer’s responsibility to make sure he got home sooner so he could have gotten medical attention. Making matters worse, Jennifer just purchased a house down the street from Kylie’s family, the Kardashians, in Hidden Hills, California. My source predicts that nether Kylie or her family will be thrilled to see her.

PAUL ANKA DOES IT HIS WAY

We don’t mind admitting that were astonished to learn that Paul Anka is still touring! He’s currently in the middle of his All the Hits: His Way tour and performed in Fort Lauderdale this week. Keep in mind he’s 83 years old and has been singing (and writing songs) since the 1950’s! He has plenty of romantic hits to choose from- Put Your Head on my Shoulder, Diana, Breaking Up is Hard to do, Lonely Boy, Puppy Love etc. Like Frankie Valli, who happens to be 90 and touring also, Paul has been able to hold onto his voice and health and keep on working…

A SAD SONG FOR CHRISTINA AGUILERA

Christina Aguilera’s next’s performance is going to be a far cry from her usual sexy stage show. The Genie In a Bottle singer has agreed to sing Ave Maria at an upcoming funeral. Christina’s best friend, celebrity hair extension stylist Priscilla Valles lost her husband Miguel late last year during a botched robbery attempt. The murder made the news and shook up the ritzy Bel- Air neighborhood where it occurred, but it’s taken months for the police to release the body since it’s an ongoing criminal investigation. After many delays, Miguel is being laid to rest next week and Christina will be performing graveside when they bury the body. The two women have been close for years and Christina was even the maid of honor when Priscilla married Miguel, so it was a no-brainer when she was asked to pay tribute with the song.

JEFF BEZOS HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO

 

Our friend Roger Friedman surprised us today with an item in his Showbiz 411 website revealing that Jeff Bezos’s Amazon is selling official-looking ICE immigration border patrol jackets and hats for under thirty dollars. Presumably customers can buy them to scare their undocumented friends and neighbors – especially in California. We cannot help but wonder what Jeff’s fiancee Lauren Sanchez thinks of this. After all, Lauren is a 3rd generation Mexican-American journalist with some opinions of her own…

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The celebration coninues. A$AP Rocky being found not guilty was one of the biggest stories of the week, and here’s what we know. Just two days after the verdict, Rihanna celebrated her 37th birthday and to show his appreciation for her loyalty (she stuck by him and even attended the trial) Rocky filled their Beverly Hills mansion with $20,000 worth of brightly colored flowers and then hid a fortune in brightly colored gemstones in the lavish floral arrangements. My source explains that a local florist installed the over-the-top arrangements and then Rocky hung the various pieces of jewelry hidden in them. It was a mini scavenger hunt filled with trinkets of his affection.

Caroline Kennedy’s outspoken son, Jack Schlossberg, made headlines earlier when he quit social media after some opinionated posts. This week he made headlines again for rejoining social media, but that’s just part of the story. We just heard Jack also joined the networking dating site, Riya in hopes of finding love. How do we know? Our source matched with him!

Speaking of outspoken and opinionated, Elon Musk was in the news and it didn’t portray him in a good light. First his transgender daughter revealed that she found out she had another half sibling at the same time everyone else did on social media. Then one of his baby mamas, Grimes, blasted him on social media for ignoring her pleas to help their child, who apparently is suffering from a mystery illness. We just heard that Elon’s new best friend, Donald Trump, is non too pleased with these developments. Love him or hate him, Donald does look out for his kids, so he had a stern talk with Elon to do the same, if for no other reason than to avoid negative publicity.

The SNL 50th anniversary of was another big story this past week and here’s what we know. Almost all of the former and current cast members chipped in to give Lorne Michaels a case of 50 year old Macphalis Whiskey. Each bottle sells for approximately $3,200, so they dropped nearly $50k on the pricey booze. In addition they also wrote him heartfelt letters of appreciation which they turned into a leather bound book.

The seemingly never ending drama between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continued again this week. Basically it was another week and another barrage of claims and lawsuits. We just heard that one of the casualties of the legal mess is Blake’s hair care line, Blake Brown. My well placed retail source reveals that Target, the chain that launched the line, is planning to cut their losses. The store isn’t taking sides in the war between Blake and Justin, but they don’t want to be connected to the drama in any way shape or form. I also heard that other opportunities are drying up for Blake as my source explains that Blake is becoming “toxic” – just what Justin hoped for.

White Lotus came back with the premiere episode of season three and the biggest story was the revealing nude scene of Patrick Schwarzenegger (Arnold’s sexy son). We just heard Patrick is now being wooed to join Onlyfans by the higher-ups at the company. They told him they think he could shatter all earning records if he joins the adult content site. It’s unlikely to happen as his goal is to be seen as a serious actor, but Patrick did confide to a pal that the offer was a major ego boost.

RIHANNA HAS PLANS FOR ASAP ROCKY

ASAP Rocky was just found not guilty in his criminal trial and now his better half, Rihanna, is ready to leave his former troubles and Los Angeles behind her for good. According to my source, Rihanna fears LA isn’t the ideal place for Rocky to reside, and she doesn’t like the idea of raising babies in Hollywood either. She and Rocky made a deal that once his trial ended, they would sell their nice (but relatively modest for their wealth) Beverly Hills home, and relocate. While they haven’t decided on an exact location, don’t be too surprised if they wind up in a gated community in Las Vegas, which would accomplish two things – get Rocky away from his posse in LA, and make it convenient for Rihanna to headline a residency at a casino.

ELON MUSK IS DREAMING OF A TESLA MOTORCADE FOR THE PRESIDENT

Don’t think for one second that Elon Musk is being altruistic and not self-serving with his newfound friendship with Donald Trump. My inside political source reveals Elon is trying to get Trump to replace his motorcade with his Teslas! No kidding. Elon is working on persuading Donald that his Cyber Trucks are safer and make a bolder statement than anything in the current presidential motorcade. He’s already presented him with a sketch for a custom built Cybertruck that is dripping with plush luxuries unseen in regular Teslas. So far, gas guzzling fan Donald isn’t sold on the idea of an electric vehicle, but Elon isn’t giving up – so don’t be too surprised if it happens.
