OLYMPIC WINNER ALYSA LIU MIGHT LIVEN UP THE OSCARS TOO

Alysa Liu won the gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics, and now she’s getting ready to give away the gold – at the Oscars.  America’s newest sweetheart has been asked to present an award at the March 15 ceremony and she is hustling to rearrange her schedule to make it happen. My Oscar source reveals that producers are scrambling to attract a younger audience to the dated awards show, and since Alysa (and her striped hair) are currently HUGE in the that demographic, it’s easy to see why producers want her to present.

ERIC DANE MEMENTOS SOON TO BE AVAILABLE

It’s hard to believe,  but Eric Dane died relatively broke.  According to my source, it all boils down to basic math – he spent more than he made. The GoFundMe page set up in his honor to benefit his daughters has raised close to a half a million dollars, and while that’s a pretty penny, his estranged widow, Rebecca Gayheart fears the money will eventually run out so she’s come up with a plan.  According to my source, Rebecca is planning an auction where she will sell off many of Eric’s personal items and mementoes from his decades as an actor (including things from his long stint as Dr. McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy).  Rebecca is also planning a celebration of life scheduled for March.

MEGAN THEE STALLION: LOVE IT OR LOATHE IT

Megan Thee Stallion turned up at the Roberto Cavalli show in Milan dressed like THIS. IT’s a totally sheer blue skin-tight dress and she somehow got it to match her hip length blue hair.  We are not crazy about this look- what do you think?

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Eric Dane’s tragic passing is still big news in Hollywood and here’s the latest on what we know.  Eric’s estranged wife, Rebecca Gayheart, is already working on a book on her life with Eric about their ups and downs, and his courageous battle with ALS.  Rebecca is planning a no hold barred tell-all where she will also write about Eric’s longtime battle with addiction and she plans to mention who showed up and who didn’t, when he was dealing with the crippling disease.

 

 

Savannah Guthrie was in the news again as the unresolved kidnapping of her mom Nancy continues to captivate the nation as a real life whodunit.  Savannah and her siblings raised the reward money to $1 million and we can tell you the folks at NBC are secretly covering the cost of the reward if the kidnapper is revealed.  For now, NBC has asked Savannah to keep their financial contribution private, but my source says it will eventually be acknowledged if and when the mystery is solved.

 

 

Lisa Rinna made headlines when she buried the hatchet with her former Bravo boss Andy Cohen on an episode of his Watch What Happens Live.  The two drama queens were feuding after Andy revealed some of Lisa’s private text messages in his recent autobiography. Lisa fired the next shot when she tossed a copy of the book into her fireplace. But now that Lisa is promoting her own autobiography, she decided it was better to have Andy as a friend.  She agreed to appear on his show and now there is talk about getting her back on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

 

 

The tragic suicide of Martin Short‘s daughter Katherine caught much of Hollywood by surprise.  To say Martin is heartbroken would be an understatement.  We can tell you that his rumored girlfriend, Meryl Streep, has been by his side since news of the suicide.  Meryl has been Martin’s rock through most of this so far, and she’s cleared her schedule to stay there for as long as he needs her.

 

 

America seems to fall more in love with Olympic Gold medal winner Alysa Liu – liberals love her for her left leaning views, while conservatives adore her because she kept her political beliefs out of it and proudly represented the entire country. We are hearing that even Donald Trump is a HUGE fan, and he’s working hard to get Alysa to the White House.  Donald is always looking for some good press and sees how popular Alysa has become throughout all segments of the country.

 

 

Speaking of Donald Trump, he made the news for setting the record for the longest state of the nation address (one hour and forty-seven minutes – and arguably the most rambling one).  We heard this interesting tidbit.  Right before the televised event was about to begin Donald suffered a wardrobe malfunction when the makeup he uses to cover up the bruises on his hand rubbed off on his suit jacket.  Apparently this has happened before, so there’s usually a backup outfit on hand( pun kinda intended).

 

 

Bill Gates was in the news when he admitted to having affairs with two Russian women while still married to his wife Melinda.  Here’s what we know.  Even though he’s one of the wealthiest men in the world, Bill’s behavior and his link to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has turned him into a social pariah.  He’s a member of a few private clubs and some have reached out to him asking him to resign.  Don’t be too surprised if it is suddenly announced he’s stepping down from some of the important Boards he sits on.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This reboot has been the recent talk of Hollywood – but it might wind up turning into a real life legal drama.  Producers are casting for the sexy show, but one recent audition went south quickly.  Our guy was on a very popular but now canceled reality show, and he hasn’t worked in a few years.  He looks better than ever, but bombed in his audition.  Even so, one of the producers invited him back for another chance.  The producer crossed the line and got sexually inappropriate, and now our guy is threatening to sue and torpedo the entire series unless he’s cast in the lead role!  The producer is scrambling to make it happen, but the higher powers up at the network have no interest in casting the guy because he stunk in his audition tape.

 

Guess the show and the reality star!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This A list couple always puts on a happy front, but their relationship is kaput.   She is the bigger breadwinner among the two, but doesn’t want the scrutiny of announcing a breakup, so she is continuing the pick up the tab and fund his lifestyle (and it ain’t cheap since our guy likes fancy clothes, cars and jewels).  They are no longer living together 24/7 as he spends most of his time in a penthouse condominium she owns closer to the city.  Recently though, he met someone in the building he’s very attracted to, and has become attached.  His other half told him he can do what he wants as long as he keeps his new romance quiet and out of the public eye.  HE was completely fine with that, but his new girlfriend wants to go public in a big way, and that’s causing him some issues.  He doesn’t want to lose his gravy train OR his new flame, and just doesn’t know what to do.

 

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our C list actress (with B+ name recognition) thought she finally found her Prince Charming.  Sure, he was a tad older than her last man, but unlike her ex, her new guy was independently wealthy and could finance the lifestyle she desired.  Her man was picking up the tab for everything, but that came to a screeching halt when he discovered she was unfaithful.  Our gal wasn’t sleeping with a man, she was having some girl time with a female fling.  Yes ,she’s bisexual, and she actually thought her guy would be turned on and that’s why she TOLD him she had the secret lover.  Instead of being aroused, he was insulted, and told her that cheating is cheating -regardless of gender- and dumped her on the spot.  Now she’s alone and it couldn’t come at a worst time, because both her personal life and her career are in crisis.

 

GUESS WHO!!

SEX & THE CITY HAS AN OFFER FOR KIM CATTRALL

Behind very closed doors the suits at HBO are brainstorming for a way to bring back Sex & the City and its spinoff, And Just Like That in some capacity to finish storylines and appease fans.  My well placed source blabs that the cast really doesn’t want to commit to the grind of a series, so now the current plan is a 90 minute movie/ special episode.  Executives are determined to persuade Kim Cattrall to return for the production, and have offered her a favored nation deal (an industry term that means no one will have a higher salary than she does).  If agreement can be reached, the hope is to start filming before the end of the year, and release the production on Valentine’s Day 2027.

REBECCA GAYHEART UNCOMFORTABLE WITH GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN

Rebecca Gayheart has mixed emotions about the GoFundMe campaign launched by some pals of her late estranged husband, Eric Dane.  My well placed source reveals that at first Rebecca was 100% against the idea of asking people for money – since she’s already a working actress and she just happens to be linked to a billionaire, Hard Rock founder Peter Morton. (For what it’s worth, Peter was secretly said to be mortified by the idea.)  In the end, Rebecca agreed to allow the friends to proceed with the campaign under the proviso that all money collected go straight into a trust fund for her two daughters.  Shockingly, we hear Eric died pretty much flat broke and didn’t have any substantial life insurance for his daughters.

PRINCE ANDREW PLANS TO SELL HIS SIDE OF THE STORY

Former Prince Andrew has money woes now that he’s facing a costly criminal trial and has been all but cut off from the royal family, so he’s decided to sell his story to the highest bidder to raise much needed funds to mount his defense.  According to my source, Andrew is quietly shopping an interview where he will address the recent charges as well as his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.  He even reached out to his nephew Prince Harry to see if Oprah Winfrey would pay for the interview, (we heard she passed) so he’s now looking at other potential outlets.
