ARMIE HAMMER’S MOTHER WANTS TO SEE HIM BACK IN BUSINESS

While Armie Hammer is working on his inevitable comeback (his behavior was kinky yes, but criminal no) his mother Dru is working on her own Hollywood dreams.  Armie and his mom have had a mercurial relationship since her conservative Christian beliefs clashed with his antics, but time heals all wounds and now they’e closer than ever. They’re SO close, Armie has agreed to be Dru’s first guest on her upcoming podcast, Hollywood and Divine (a play on the famous Los Angeles intersection Hollywood and Vine). Dru teams up with her gay best friend ( yes you read that right) and they interview celebrities who have experienced tough times and explain how their spiritual beliefs helped in their survival.  Dru, who wrote a bestselling autobiography, Hammered, is passionate about her Christian beliefs and while we don’t relate to that, we can relate to her encouraging women to have financial independence.  Even though Dru married into one of the wealthiest families in the world, she made her own money throughout her marriage by buying, renovating, and then flipping houses throughout Los Angeles.  We just happen to know Dru’s outspoken openly gay podcast costar (he worked in the tabloid world for decades) so we will be watching because sparks are sure to fly between this odd couple. We’ll keep you informed!

BIG BUSINESS FOR MEGHAN MARKLE

Meghan Markle wants to team up with chef Evan Funke and launch a mega-brand.  Evan is the owner of the Beverly Hills hotspot, Funke, as well as the Mother Wolf restaurants in Hollywood, Las Vegas and Miami.  A few months back, Meghan had a meal at Funke and blasted on social media that it was one of the top five meals of her life.  Well, perhaps there was a method to her madness.  According to my source, Meg is close to signing a multifaceted deal with Evan to develop a line of products including fresh pastas, sauces, oils, spices and more.  This could be a multi billion dollar venture and my source adds that Meghan has already lined up investors.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our guy is having his moment in Hollywood, but behind his million dollar smile lurks a secret.  He hides it well, but he’s secretly bisexual and recently fell hard for someone he met at the gym.  Despite his newfound fame and fortune, he still works out at the same modest gym that he has for years, and the low cost place attracts a ton of young, handsome aspiring actors.  Well our guy is SMITTEN with his new gym crush, and the gym crush is THRILLED to be the focus of attention from a famous actor.  They’ve consummated their relationship and the sex is earth-shattering, but there’s a problem.  Unlike our actor, the gym crush is openly gay and refuses to continue with the relationship unless our guy is willing to go public.  Our guy is torn and facing a Sophie’s Choice moment.  Does he risk his career and follow his heart? Or does he end things with the guy and continue the charade that he’s heterosexual? One more thing.  His bisexuality is the real reason his last romance ended.

 

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This ultimate nepo baby hasn’t done much in her life except indulge in drugs and act up.  After years of somewhat insanity, she seems to have finally settled down, but old habits die hard.  Despite insisting she’s sober, she actually back on drugs. But unlike her past stints with illegal substances, this time around she’s turned to prescription painkillers that her concierge doctor readily supplies.  The drugs are beginning to take a toll on her behavior, and people are beginning to notice.  A few friends have gently brought up the subject, but our gal immediately shuts them down, insisting she has everything under control. But she doesn’t. You can tell that just by looking at her.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This A list actress is just unlucky in love there’s no way to deny it,  but she finally seems to have found her Mr. Right – after kissing countless frogs.  He treats her well, and can afford to pay his own way, but he is harboring a secret.  Prior to dating our gal he had a sizzling one night stand with one of her best girlfriends.  To some, this wouldn’t be a deal breaker-   but it is to our gal because she has a strict no double dipping policy.  That means any guy who’s ever slept with one of her friends is off limits.  The boyfriend and the friend have agreed to keep their tryst a secret for now,  but both are decent people and are beginning to feel guilty, so either one of them could weaken and fess up.

 

GUESS WHO!!

BRAD PITT AND FRIENDS BACK IN THE DAY (?)

Okay- we noticed this photo on Brad Pitt’s fan page on Instagram and couldn’t believe our eyes.  This is a group of bigtime celebrities – photographed in what looks like Miami Beach (the late 80’s?)  but we have never known them to be friends, although they are in the same age range.  Of course AI comes to mind, but it is astonishing how these famous people all seem to be the right age and height and look perfectly natural,  if it IS AI.  (Madonna is her true size) And look at the sand on everybody’s feet!  If this IS AI, can we ever trust our own eyes again?

TAYLOR AND TRAVIS WANT A FRESH START IN REAL ESTATE

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are house hunting.  Taylor already owns the Samuel Goldwyn estate – a $25 million mansion in Beverly Hills which she spent years renovating.  However, according to my source, she feels the home has too much history for her, and while she absolutely loves it, she wants a fresh start with Travis in a place that’s THEIRS, not hers.  Taylor recently had her current home appraised, and is working with a realtor to offer it as a pocket listing and shown only to pre-qualified prospective buyers. In the meantime, she and Travis have been quietly looking at homes in the $40 million dollar range in Beverly Hills and Bel-Air.

DONALD TRUMP WANTS HIS OWN DOCUMENTARY

Don’t think for one second that Donald Trump Is going to let his wife Melania steal his spotlight.  As unexpected as it sounds, Melania, the documentary about 20 days in the life of the First Lady, broke some box office records for nonfiction movies with a $7 million opening weekend.  Well this was bound to happen: Donald has now decided he wants the same director, Brett Ratner, to produce a documentary on HIM, aptly called Donald.  My source says that a film crew is already being assembled and the production will center around Donald as he prepares for the nation to celebrate its 250th birthday this July.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MARIAH CAREY?

Certainly Mariah Carey must have felt honored to be declared 2026 Person of the Year by the nonprofit MusiCares, so why didn’t she dress for it? Her face looks great, but her sheer black lace dress is just plain boring (and aging) for a music event where she could have been creative and fun. The dead serious diamonds she piled on seem stuffy and old-fashioned also. But worst of all was her mountain of fake hair. It’s time for Mariah to invest in a new stylist.

WILL NICKI MINAJ REGRET THIS FRIENDSHIP?

Nicki Minaj may have gotten a free US citizenship thanks to her brown-nosing of Donald Trump, but it already cost her a major collaboration.  Nicki has teamed up with Ariana Grande in the past, and we can exclusively reveal that she was tapped to join Ariana onstage during some shows on her upcoming Eternal Sunshine Tour.  Well that’s now a NO go.  My source reveals that Nicki has been disinvited from sharing the stage with Ariana and that’s not all.  Ariana has also nixed performing any of the songs she collaborated on with Nicki including Bang Bang and Side to Side.  My music insider source reveals that Nicki’s friendship with Trump is likely to be the final nail in the coffin of her career.
