One of the biggest stories of the week was mega producer Tyler Perry being sued by yet another attractive male for sexual harassment. Here’s what we know. This could get even uglier than it already is, since the purported victim, aspiring star Mario Rodriguez, is planning to subpoena Tyler’s famous friends, including Oprah Winfrey, to grill them about Tyler’s behavior. My source predicts that a settlement deal will eventually be the outcome, if for no other reason than to spare Tyler’s celebrity pals the embarrassment of having to testify.
Taylor Swift made headlines when it was revealed she handed out envelopes stuffed with cash to employees who worked at the football stadium on Christmas Day when her boyfriend, Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs played and lost their last home game of the season. Taylor was hoping to keep the generous gesture a secret, but one of the recipients posted about it on social media and it quickly went viral. We can tell you this update. Not only did Taylor hand out cash to the employees, but she also gave the fellow wives and girlfriends of the players (known as WAGS) matching gold Cartier bracelets – but she told them to keep the gesture a secret as she wants real friendships and not publicity.
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were in the news when they were spotted together at London’s Hyde Park with their daughter Daisy. We can tell you this. Although Katie‘s current boyfriend, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, wasn’t there, he has already met Orlando, who has given his blessing to the blossoming new romance. The guys had a very hush-hush meeting in Montecito California, where Katy lives and they got along famously. To those who think this is weird, it’s actually very modern and makes perfect sense. Orlando wants to develop a relationship with Justin because if Justin is going to be a part of Katy’s life, then he will also be around Daisy.
Everyone’s favorite president, Donald Trump ( that’s sarcasm folks) was in the news yet again when the Wall Street Journal reported that his Mar-a-Lago club would frequently send teenage workers to the room of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. It should come as no surprise that Trump immediately denied the report as fake news. Here’s what we know. A group of bipartisan Congressmen are planning to subpoena all of Mar-a-Lago‘s employment records during this time. If anyone thinks this story is going to end anytime soon, they are fooling themselves.
Speaking of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene was in the news when she revealed during another interview that Trump had a major meltdown when he tried to persuade her to not force the release of the Epstein files, claiming that doing so would hurt a lot of of his friends. Here’s the latest. If you think Marjorie is done talking when she leaves Congress this month, you would be sorely mistaken. My well place source revealed that Marjorie already has a seven figure book deal in place and she is going to go scorched earth on most everyone in Washington and on everything she knows. Love her or hate her, it’s refreshing that she finally came to her senses about Trump.
The shocking murders of Rob and Michelle Reiner was still in the news as more and more details leaked out. Not that there is any silver lining to this unspeakable and horrific tragedy, but there is a little bit of happy news connected to the family. My well placed source reveals that Rob and Michele‘s daughter Romy secretly got engaged to her boyfriend, Alex Siliberg over New Year’s. The couple is keeping their engagement news hush-hush for now. They’re really in no mood to celebrate since Romy is dealing with the fact that her brother Nick allegedly killed their parents, but nonetheless her friends are comforted by the fact that Adam will be by her side through all of this.
The Beckhams were also in the news as the family feud between David and Victoria versus their estranged son Brooklyn continues. Here is what we know. Steps are secretly being taken to negotiate a truce to end the fighting. One of Victoria‘s well-connected socialite friends just happens to be friends with Brooklyn’s billionaire in-laws and they offered to spearhead the peace talks. While nothing has happened yet, don’t be too surprised if Brooklyn is back in his parents good graces sometime this year.
