Janet Charlton's

HOLLYWOOD

Our favorite criminal, Luigi Mangione, made headlines when he appeared in court looking more like a male model than an accused murderer. Our well placed source tells us this.  Prosecutors fear that between his good looks and the unpopularity of the insurance industry (he allegedly murdered an insurance executive) it might be impossible to get jurors to find him guilty, so behind very closed doors a plea deal is being negotiated.  We don’t know any details just yet, but don’t be too surprised if this case never sees the light of day.

Blast from the past Andy Dick made headlines when he OVERDOSED from crack cocaine on Hollywood Blvd, and the entire fiasco was live-streamed.  Here’s what we know.  Andy is hurting for funds and has been desperate to land a reality show that will chronicle his train wreck of a life and follow him as he hopes to make a career comeback. (an obvious long shot though we wish him the best)  My source suspects the entire episode was staged to generate publicity and create interest in the show, which would explain why someone nearby just HAPPENED to have a readily available dose of the anti overdose drug, Narcan.

Kelly Osbourne was all over the news when photos of her looking shockingly thin while sporting big 80s teased hair and inflated clown lips surfaced.  We can tell you this. Now that she’s lost a ton of weight, Kelly is undergoing tattoo removal since most of her ink was done when she was chubby. She feels the skin art is distorted and just doesn’t look right on her new slimmer figure.

Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams shared the spotlight this week when they were announced as the celebrity hosts of the 2026 Met Gala.  Don’t tell them, but we can tell you this juicy tidbit: None of those were Anna Wintour’s FIRST choice –  that honor went to Taylor Swift and her soon to be husband Travis Kelce.  While flattered, Taylor and Travis felt the May gala was just too close to their June wedding, and they politely declined.  Don’t be too surprised though if they host the prestigious event in 2027.

Jen Shah of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City made the news when she was sprung from prison early, and now we know this:  One of the FIRST people to reach out was Bravo’s Andy Cohen and you guessed it, Jen has agreed to return to the popular reality show.  Good thing too, as she owes millions In retribution, so her lucrative Bravo check will come in handy.  Love her or hate her, Jen brought her drama to the show and Andy wants to capitalize on that now that she’s free.  The only potential obstacle is that she is on parole and will need permission to film.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were all over the news when rumors of an imminent divorce started circulating seemingly everywhere.  Well, their first form of attack was to stage a photo shoot while shopping for Italian delicacies at Eataly in Century City, California, but we can share what they have planned to put the gossip to rest.  According to my source, Gwen and Blake are planning to renew their vows – most likely over the upcoming holidays. They’re not quite sure how these rumors started, but it’s bothering them enough that they’re taking some drastic action.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump continued their ongoing feud, but MGT really struck a nerve when she pivoted her spiel and claimed she felt sorry for Trump and that his verbal attacks on her reflected poorly on him.  We know this.  Marjorie might be taking a pause from politics, but she isn’t taking a pause from the spotlight. It so happens she’s being wooed to join a variety of shows, because her newfound popularity as a moderate feminist who wants to put America first is resonating with females everywhere. Television producers are noticing.
