SELENA GOMEZ IS MASTERMINDING BENNY BLANCO’S MAKEOVER

Benny Blanco’s eyebrows made news because he finally had them plucked.  Again, loyal readers will recall we wrote that his better half, Selena Gomez has been quietly pushing for this.  We just heard that this was just the START of Benny’s wedding makeover and he’s perfectly fine with Selena’s suggestions – he wants to make her happy.  Since they haven’t set a date yet, Benny has plenty of time to get more improvements and procedures, including Invisalign, ( clear removable braces) teeth whitening, and laser treatments for his skin.  Benny plans to look like a new man in his wedding photos!

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The biggest news of the week was the announcement that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were tying the knot this summer in a star studded wedding in Italy.  Loyal readers will remember that we had the scoop about an Italian wedding.  Here’s the latest on what we know.  Like most engaged couples, the lovebirds are working on their gift registry, but unlike anyone else, this registry won’t have items from Target! According to my source, the registry will only list charities that Jeff and Lauren support, directing their A-list guests to make generous donations in their honor. We can expect the charities to make millions since many of the guests are already billionaires.

Why are we not surprised that Real Housewife of New Jersey, Teresa Guidice made headlines when it was revealed she and her husband, Luis Ruelas owed approximately $3 million in tax liens!  While we aren’t a fan, we still have sources, and we just heard that the financially burdened couple are considering turning to Only Fans to make some fast money to settle up the steep debt.

Sydney Sweeney made news -not for what she posted on social media – but for what she deleted.  The Euphoria actress scrubbed her Instagram of photos where she’s kissing her fiance, Jonathan Davino.  Here is what we are hearing from two sources and we are telling you both conflicting tales.  One of our well placed sources insists the couple is definitely over and their publicist is just waiting for the right time to officially announce the breakup.  However, another source predicts that the entire thing is a ruse to throw off the public for an upcoming wedding.  Only time will tell WHICH source is right.

Ben Affleck made news for a tell-all interview with GQ magazine in which he dished on some of the details from his split from Jennifer Lopez.  Here’s what we know.  When they broke up,  Ben and Jen agreed to keep mum about their split, and now Jen’s not exactly thrilled that Ben broke their promise, even though he didn’t say anything negative.   Nonetheless, J.Lo now feels free to give her own interview – likely to Vogue, ( she wants the cover) and get her side of the story out.

The White Lotus incest scene between brothers was definitely the talk around water coolers everywhere this week.  Here’s what we know.  Our source says that was only the tip of the iceberg and that the final two episodes are going to be the most SHOCKING of the series, and push even more boundaries.  (More nude men?) We can’t imagine what’s more shocking than incest, but we will be watching. Will YOU?

WHAT HAPPENED TO DONALD TRUMP’S PROMISE TO LOWER PRICES?

It seems like every day, Donald Trump is putting a tariff on something and he’s winning no fans, even within his own family. First off, his long suffering wife Melania is a fan of a high-end skin product that she has delivered twice a month. She wasn’t thrilled to discover that the price was going up 20% due to Donald’s tariffs.  His daughter Ivanka isn’t thrilled either, as she has been car shopping, and the Porsche she wanted is going up 25%-  thanks to daddy’s tariffs.  Our inside source says that even his family is advising him to cut out this craziness since prices are going UP on everything, and when he ran for office he vowed to LOWER  prices…

MEG RYAN: QUEEN OF THE FLIPPERS

In 2023, after several years away from Hollywood, Meg Ryan directed and starred in the film What Happens Later with David Duchovny. The movie got some not-so-hot reviews and only grossed 3 million dollars. But don’t feel bad for Meg- she has found major success as a real estate flipper . She has been quietly buying houses -east coast and west cost-  she and her renovation team update the homes and resell them for huge profit. So far she has successfully flipped 9 properties – recently she sold the  Montecito home she bought for 5.5 million and after improvements she sold it for 13.25 million – that’s almost 8 million in profit.  Who needs Hollywood?

BELLA RAMSEY AND PEDRO PASCAL HAVE BOTH BEEN BUSY

The Last of Us costars Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal have both been enjoying some personal publicity as they  celebrate the arrival of season 2 of their post-apocalyptic drama. Pedro was accused by the press of having a secret date with Jennifer Aniston  and after causing quite a stir, he reluctantly admitted they are “just friends.”  Bella’s character Abby is a bit odd and non-binary Bella admitted that she/he  feels “relieved” after being diagnosed with autism while filming season 1. A crew member with an autistic child at home noticed that Bella has some of the same characteristics and suggested she/he  have an exam. Bella did and was not surprised – she/he  always felt out of place and different and now she/he knew why. She/he was bombarded with good wishes from fans. Bella and Pedro’s characters clash onscreen but they are good friends in real life…

SELENA GOMEZ WANTS JEWISH BABIES

Just over a month ago, Selena Gomez revealed in a sit down with Interview Magazine that she wasn’t planning to convert to Judaism, the faith of her fiance Benny Blanco. Well Selena has apparently had a change of heart, and is now planning to convert AND still practice Christianity.  Raised Catholic, Selena drifted more into spirituality than religion later in life, and while she now considers herself Christian, she recently learned that in the Jewish faith, if the mother isn’t Jewish, the kids aren’t technically Jewish.  Long story short, Selena is quietly taking classes with a Rabbi, and while she probably won’t convert in time for her her wedding to Benny, she intends to convert BEFORE any of their anticipated babies are born. (Question: are MEN ever expected to switch religions when they get married? Just asking…)

THE WHITE LOTUS WILL HAVE A SPECTACULAR ENDING

Spoiler Alert.  Well kind of, anyway.  We are about to tell you how The White Lotus ends, but we aren’t talking about the current season – we’re referring to the series finale which will be years away.  Although the series was originally conceived to be limited to one season ( it was rushed into production during the Covid pandemic) its’ undeniable popularity warranted many incarnations.  Creator Mike White plans to eventually wrap up the series by bringing back fan favorite characters from ALL of the previous seasons and introduce no new characters in the last chapter. Keep in mind this could be a decade away or longer, but Mike already knows how the series will eventually end. Personally, we love a show that has more nude men than women…

GERARD DEPARDIEU’S BAD BEHAVIOR

He’s on his way to the courthouse for the first day of his sexual assault trial,  but Gerard Depardieu doesn’t look terribly worried. Maybe that’s because he’s been accused of sexual assault and rape numerous times in the past, and nothing came of it. The male dominated French cinema has so far wanted nothing to do with the “Me Too” era and they prefer to turn a blind eye and dismiss accusations against successful actors and filmmakers. According to the New York Times, even President Emmanuel Macron defends Depardieu, and calls charges against him a “manhunt.”  Two cases against Depardieu are in court this week for the first time,  and we shall soon see if  he can continue to get away with it…

SELENA GOMEZ AND BENNY BLANCO HAVE DIFFERENT WEDDING IDEAS

Selena Gomez and her fiance Benny Blanco aren’t seeing eye-to-eye when it comes to planning their upcoming wedding.  According to a source connected to the couple, Selena ideally wants a very casual backyard bbq wedding that is popular in her home state of Texas, while Benny prefers something more formal and traditional to his Jewish upbringing.  They haven’t set a date yet, but don’t be surprised if they hold two weddings – a large casual bash catering to her preferences, and then a smaller intimate reception to please his side of the family. (above:  Selena and Benny arriving at Oscars – he’s carrying her purse)

PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER: HIS LIPS ARE SEALED

Patrick Schwarzenegger can keep a secret.  Patrick is making a name for himself thanks to his breakout role in season 3 of The White Lotus, but he’s feeling the pressure from his mom Maria Shriver to spill the beans on what happens.  The cast and crew had to sign very strict NDA’s not to share of any of the plot twists with ANYONE, including significant others, friends and even moms.  Patrick didn’t even give his mom a heads up about his full frontal nude scene!  THAT’S  one of the reasons Maria has been begging him to let her in on any upcoming surprises so she can brace herself.
