One of the biggest stories of the week with Timothée Chalamet winning the Critic’s Choice Award for best actor in a leading role for his film Marty Supreme. It wasn’t so much his expected win that created headlines, it was his acceptance speech where he acknowledged his love for “partner” Kylie Jenner, without naming her. Here’s what we know. As loyal readers will know the couple were rumored to be on a break recently only to reconcile over the holidays. Our well-placed Kardashian source revealed that before Kylie agreed to resume the romance she insisted that Timothee start being public with his true feelings for her and that’s the reason the notoriously private actor acknowledged his feelings for her in his speech. Rest assured, if he wins more awards, which he’s expected to, he’ll be singing Kylie’s praises at the podium and mentioning her name when he accepts his trophy.
Once again, the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner continue to make headlines. This time when Alan Jackson, the criminal defense attorney for their son Nick, who is accused of murdering them, abruptly resigned from the case on January 7. Here’s what we know. My well placed source reveals that it all came down to money. (Duh!) Nick has no access to any of Rob and Michele‘s estate, and he has limited funds on his own, so that’s why Alan resigned from the case and a public defender was assigned to it. Long story short – no one connected to the family was willing to pay for Nick’s defense.
Continuing on the murderers, longtime couple, comics Bill Hader and Ali Wong announced they were going their separate ways. Here’s how the murders of Rob and Michele play into this. As previously reported, Bill was at Conan O’Brien‘s holiday party the evening before the murders, and he was the one who had some words with Nick, prompting Rob to yell at his son at the party – which is rumored to be the reason Nick allegedly snapped and killed his parents. We can tell you this. Ever since the murders, Ali has been second guessing Bill’s reaction to Nick at the party, and in hindsight she told him he should have shown more grace and compassion instead of being dismissive to Nick. This led to serious conversations, and in the end, Ali decided to end her romance with Bill. She confided to a friend that while he’s in no way responsible for the murders, the incident made her realize Bill wasn’t her guy.
As we previously reported, Mickey Rourke was in the news because a GoFundMe page was launched to raise money to pay his past due rent and then he made headlines again when he renounced the effort, claiming he had nothing to do with it, and would never take charity. Here’s the latest. People connected to Mickey have been encouraging him to swallow his pride and accept the help. His financial situation is dire, and while he normally isn’t one to accept charity, his inner circle is telling him even the strongest people sometimes need a helping hand. A final decision hasn’t been made, but don’t be surprised if in the end Mickey decides to take the much needed help.
Blast from the past: former reality star Spencer Pratt made headlines when he announced that he was running for Mayor of Los Angeles. Here’s what we know. My source connected to Spencer suggests that the entire campaign is nothing more than a publicity stunt to help Spencer stay in the news, as he and his wife Heidi hope to regain some of their fame by landing another reality show. Although Spencer seems sincere in his desire to serve the citizens of Los Angeles, my source says even he knows his chances of being elected mayor are slim to none.
Katy Perry and her former Prime Minister boyfriend, Justin Trudeau were in the news when she dropped photos on Instagram of them kissing while on a tropical vacation. Here’s an update on their romance. My source says that Katy is going full speed ahead with the romance because she’s hoping to expand her family and her biological clock is ticking. If things continue to go as well as they’ve been, my source predicts that the two will get engaged before the summer. On this note, the pair are practically living together at Katy’s Montecito, California estate, and Justin has a dedicated closet and a home office there.
Travis Kelce made headlines when he revealed on his New Heights podcast that he would consider continuing playing football for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs if his body could handle it. Here’s what we know. As previously reported, Travis had all but decided to hang up his cleats, but he was annoyed that word had already leaked of his decision (we were the first to report it and then other sites picked it up) so he dropped the bombshell on the podcast, in hopes of controlling the narrative. Expect a big announcement when Travis DOES decide to retire, which should happen in a few months or less.
