CHRIS APPLETON: TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

Did he or didn’t he? It seems handsome hairstylist Chris Appleton  is filming a cameo on the new Baywatch.  We’re betting he’ll be such a hit that they will offer him a role. This photo was taken on the set and we cannot help but wonder if he artfully added a bit of makeup to his muscles to make them more visible…

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our TV personality is hyper sensitive about his reputation because he’s been rumored to dabble in hardcore illegal drugs.  He denies everything, and insists the stories about his drug use are just unsubstantiated gossip.  Wrongo.  He recently sold his residence to a fellow celebrity and during some home renovations the new owner was shocked to find a secret stash of cocaine and drug paraphernalia that had fallen behind a built-in cabinet.  Since the new owner has some crossover with our star, he discreetly disposed of the stuff.  But he can’t help but share the story at some of the many cocktail parties he attends, which are usually loaded with entertainment industry people.

 

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This former couple – he ‘s barely on the B list while she’s a solid A level star – didn’t have the smoothest of splits, but by Hollywood standards they kept it fairly civil.  Well  buckle up, because it’s gonna get bumpy.  You see, one of their spawns is underage and desperate to undergo major life-altering plastic surgery.  Our gal is all for it, but our guy is completely against it. It’s become a huge issue with both sides vowing to make it ugly unless the other caves in.  For now they’re in family therapy, hoping to come up with an agreement.  Unfortunately, since neither is willing to budge, insiders predict a very public legal battle.

 

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our nepo baby hasn’t had the easiest of times lately between financial, career, and all other sorts of problems.  Money is currently VERY tight and he’s drowning in debt  – but he has a plan.  Years and years ago, when he was a young teenager, he had a secret affair with one of his schoolmate’s moms – who also happened to be a major celebrity.  He saved some of the proof (letters and spicy Polaroids since this predated texting and emails) and now he’s basically blackmailing her to fund his lifestyle since he’s too high most of the time to get a job. Guess the nepo baby and the Mrs. Robinson mom!

CHRIS NOTH HAS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT SEX & THE CITY

Chris Noth from Sex & the City only spoke once about being estranged from his former costars, including Sarah Jessica Parker, but now he’s contemplating revealing much MORE in an autobiography.  Chris was beyond hurt when his former costars quickly distanced themselves from him after unproven allegations of inappropriate behavior surfaced.  But now he’s ready to spill the dirt on not only THAT situation, but what it was actually like working on the iconic series.  My source says a book deal is close to being signed, and let’s just say he’s planning to drop some bombshells!

SPENCER PRATT IS DETERMINED TO WIN YOU OVER

Former reality star turned unlikely Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is having a challenging time (but doing better than expected) connecting with voters and his former The Hills costars.  According to my source, Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag have reached out to their former friends from their reality show to get endorsements, but so far not everyone has signed on.  While Audrina Patridge has formally endorsed Spencer, the rest of his costars have given lukewarm praise but not official endorsements.  His own sister Stephanie Pratt has called him unqualified.  Get this: Stephanie is being wooed to film a TV commercial and endorse current mayor Karen Bass! (We like his billboard with the dogs)

IS LIZZO LIVING UP TO HER ALBUM TITLE?

Lizzo has more to worry about than Ozempic. According to Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411, gossip about her alleged bad behavior could be affecting her record sales. You may recall that she’s still fighting a lawsuit her backup dancers filed – charging her with racial discrimination, sexual harrassment, and a hostile work environment. Coincidentally or not, her new song Bitch was released ahead of her album of the same name, and according to Roger, it is NOT doing well.  It will be interesting to see what happens when Bitch the album comes out on June 5 – yes, that’s the album cover above…

IS SNL COMIC CHLOE FINEMAN A SCIENTOLOGIST?

We admit we were alarmed to hear that SNL favorite Chloe Fineman just MIGHT be a Scientologist. Not only is she funny and likeable, but she LOVES her dog Peach. It has been established that Chloe’s parents are or were “high up” in the organization, so it looks like she was born into Scientology. And Chloe herself took several Scientology “courses” between 2014 and 2015. But she has never confirmed OR denied being a member of the questionable organization. Personally I had a horrible experience with Scientology. When I was writing for Star Magazine I published a story about Tom Cruise being a Scientologist.  It turned out to be a huge (secret) scoop, and Scientology Lawyers were FURIOUS that we had revealed it. They tried to pressure my editor to fire me, and  bombarded the phone company for copies of my phone bill to find out WHO my source was. The phone company told me the lawyers got a copy of my bill, and apparently they found the name of my source. My source had left Scientology and they banned all her relatives and friends that were still involved in the organization from ever speaking to her again. I felt bad for her, but she did not regret leaving the so-called cult. Hopefully Chloe has put Scientology behind her.

EVEN MARK ZUCKERBERG IS IMPRESSED BY ALYSA LIU

Mark Zuckerberg knows a good thing when he sees it, and he just saw Olympic Gold Medalist Alysa Liu. The billionaire met the extremely popular ice skater at the Met Gala and was fascinated by her ability to control her nerves and just have fun even under the enormous pressure of performing in the Olympics.  According to my source, Mark wants Alysa to teach a master class to his executives about how to control their nerves under pressure.  The META honcho was impressed by Alysa’s Olympic demeanor and feels she has somehow unlocked the secret of staying cool under pressure.

BEYONCE’S DESIGNER MOM TINA KNOWLES: LOVE IT OR LOATHE IT

Tina Knowles should KNOW better!  Tina has been designing stage costumes for her daughters Beyonce and Solange since their group Destiny’s Child appeared. Currently she has several fashion collections in her own name. So what possessed her to dress up in this unflattering and rather drab colored suit? The single huge shoulderpad and sleeve looks (and probably feels) awkward and the wrinkled pants aren’t helping. Tina DOES look pretty from the neck up. What do you think?
