OPRAH WINFREY MISSES BEING ON TV

Oprah Winfrey misses the hustle and bustle (and all the power that comes with it) of hosting a top rated syndicated daily talk show. Next May,  it will be 15 years (can you believe it?) since Oprah hung up her hat after 25 years of hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show.  She’s done her best to stay active in the business, but she’s never found that level of success since ending her show.  According to an insider, Oprah is mulling a return to daytime TV, but for a limited run of no more than a few years.  Keep in mind, this is just what she’s currently thinking –  but don’t be too surprised if she returns to the airwaves sometime next year.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Just as we expected, Diddy made headlines when he was photographed for the first time on the prison yard and the photos went public. Here’s what we know. Diddy was NOT happy with the way he looked in the photos because the hair on his head and face is now grey!  He immediately asked his attorneys to reach out to the prison warden to get permission to have a professional hair colorist come to the prison and dye his grey hair and beard. Diddy offered to pick up the tab for anyone else in prison who would like to have their hair professionally colored in hopes the warden would allow it – as an incentive for the prisoners to behave. As of now, nothing has been approved, but we find it funny that even behind bars, Diddy is obsessed with his appearance.
The most talked about story of the week was the Democrats sweeping Tuesday’s elections. Of course, the  biggest win was right here in California with the overwhelming passage of Proposition 50 and the biggest winner, Governor Gavin Newsom,  who spearheaded the effort.  Here’s what we know.  Soon after the election was called, Gavin spoke with the most influential and powerful Democratic donors as he’s ramping up to get a head start of her 2028 presidential campaign.  As we write this, websites are being secured and a team of movers and shakers being assembled.  Don’t expect a confirmation anytime soon, but behind closed doors the campaign is already underway.

Sydney Sweeney made headlines when she was caught by paparazzi in a car with her ex-fiance Jonathan DaVino and then days later, was photographed canoodling with her current boyfriend, Scooter Braun.  We just heard this.  Sydney has become a publicist’s worst nightmare with her antics and the story that was “leaked” to TMZ about the photos of her with her ex was compliments of her public relations team.  The story claimed Sydney was  only seen with Jonathan to tell him leave her alone.  Days later, Sydney and Scooter were spotted kissing on a rock in Central Park.  Our inside source blabbed that that was a photo set up, arranged by her publicist to put a better spin on her image. The story we are hearing is that Sydney appears to be in a monogamous relationship with Scooter, and her PR team didn’t like the optics of her hanging out with her ex fiancé – so that photo shoot was quickly arranged.

 

 

 

 

 

Travis Kelce was talked about when his Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Buffalo Bills and the media started rumbling that he’s no longer that committed to the game since getting engaged to Taylor Swift.  We can tell you this. Travis IS confiding into pals that this will likely be his last season playing in the NFL, as it’s taking a physical toll on him, and he’s ready to focus on marriage and a career in Hollywood. He recently hired a diction coach to help him speak better, since he’s hoping to become a sports commentator like fellow former football star Tom Brady.

 

Speaking of Tom Brady, he was making headlines when he debuted his new pet dog, and admitted it was a clone of his former beloved pooch who passed away. Tom reportedly spent close to $100,000 on the process and while he is not the first celebrity to clone their pet, (Barbra Streisand also did it) Tom is confiding to pals that he would actually like to clone himself!  Tom doesn’t think the technology will be available in his lifetime, so we heard he has frozen his DNA and when science allows it, he’s hoping to return!

 

Jennifer Aniston made news when the notoriously private actress went Instagram public with her cute hypnotherapist boyfriend, Jim Curtis, calling him “my love”.   Here’s what we know.    While Jen‘s friends, including her former Friends costar, Courteney Cox ,are thrilled for her, they advised her not to go so public with the romance on social media. However, Jim was pressuring her to make it official, especially after months of dating, so Jen caved in and didn’t listen to her friends. Again, while everyone is happy for her, some of her inner circle can’t help but wonder why Jim was so eager to take things so public.  Behind her back some are secretly questioning his motives and perhaps agenda.

 

The Los Angeles Dodgers made the news when they came from behind to win the World Series.  We can tell you this. Owner, Magic Johnson surprised the team upon their return to Los Angeles with lavish congratulation gifts from Louis Vuitton. Magic’s thoughtful wife, Cookie, was the one who came up with the idea, and in the end persuaded her husband to drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on the presents which included matching duffel bags, wallets and other goodies.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Everyone has their kink, but this reality star’s fetish really takes the cake – literally!  They enjoy having sex with cake.  Yes, you read that right, cake.  They’re unlucky in love and despite their career in front of the camera are painfully shy when not filming , in fact you might say they are reclusive.  They first tried “food sex” with a past partner and now they prefer it to human interaction.  They’ve tried many different flavors, but their preferred cake partner is a dark chocolate layer cake with a buttercream filling and chocolate frosting.  They partially freeze it so it stays together during the act and then when they’re finished they eat some of the remnants.  THAT explains why they can’t seem to shed those pesky extra pounds.
GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

These two A-list cuties are alike in many ways, and always seem to be gushing about how they just adore each other and consider themselves more like sisters than friends.  Yes they are close, but this is more of a case of keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  Recently they were both up from the same lucrative gig, but they each did their absolute best to sabotage the other from getting the job.  Their cattiness was so intense that the executive in charge of casting passed on BOTH of them, and gave the plum position to someone else.  But our gals didn’t learn their lesson.  Once again they’re up for the same coveted job, and once again they’re scheming to get each other out of the running.
GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our hardworking celebrity seems to have unlimited energy to keep up with a very demanding schedule.  All they seem to do is work, work and work.  They claim they’re genetically blessed and that high energy just runs in their family.  While that may be true, the actual reason they never seem to slow down is prescription uppers that are usually prescribed for ADHD.  Yes, our celeb is addicted to Adderal and a dangerously high dose at that.  They score their drugs from the black market since their longtime physician refuses to up the dosage.  The drugs are also the real reason for the celeb’s recent noticeable weight loss.
GUESS WHO!!

WILL GEORGE SANTOS DANCE WITH THE STARS?

Sure he’s controversial,  but that might just be WHY disgraced former Congressman George Santos lands a spot on next season’s Dancing With the Stars!  Yes folks, you read that correctly, DWTS producers are scouting the cast for next year, and they feel the recently pardoned convicted conman will turn off some viewers, but will attract more than he alienates for the sheer curiosity value.  Nothing has been decided, but my source says George is definitely on the casting radar, and if he gets an offer for the gig – we predict he will hop, skip and jump at the chance to both show off and make some money….

BEN AFFLECK HAS AN IDEA FOR THE HOUSE HE CAN’T SELL

Ben Affleck knows a thing or two about the struggle to stay sober, so that may just explain why he wants to turn the nearly $61 million mansion he and his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, still own into the world’s most exclusive rehab!  The private estate boasts 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and all the bells and whistles one would expect at that hefty price, but it’s been on and off the market since the couple split.  Instead of selling for a major loss, Ben feels it would be perfect as an inpatient rehab for the world’s wealthiest addicts.  Even better, the home has its own guard gate and sits on over 5 acres of plush landscaping so there are no close neighbors to catch sight of the patients.  Ben has met with a sobriety expert and is working on a business model with a preliminary estimate of charging $250,000 per month per patient. (?) Needless to say, this is only for the richest of the rich who want to overcome any addiction issues. Jennifer isn’t completely sold on the idea,  but at this point if Ben’s plan can make a profit, she’s likely to go for it.

P DIDDY HAS YET ANOTHER PLAN

Sean Diddy Combs opted NOT to testify at his recent criminal trial, where he was found guilty of some, but not all, of the charges against him.  But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to tell HIS side of the story.  Now that he’s relocated to federal prison, Diddy and his team are shopping around a tell-all behind bars interview, hoping to land a sympathetic journalist to do the honors.  My source says the interview ( if it happens) will be more of a chance for Diddy to take accountability for his behavior, yet put his own spin on it.  He’s hoping the public mea culpa will help him get the desired presidential pardon he’s been gunning for.  Once the details are in place and an interviewer is secured,  the plan is to have Diddy sit for the interview before the end of the year.

KATY PERRY WANTS A SIBLING FOR DAUGHTER DAISY

Katy Perry has a problem.  According to a source, Katy always planned to have at least 2 children, since she didn’t want her daughter Daisy to grow up an only child.  Daisy does have a half brother Flynn (her dad Orlando Bloom’s son with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr,  but now that Katy and Orlando are over, Flynn and Daisy don’t spend much time together.  However, Katy might have a solution.  Although she and Justin Trudeau have only been together for months, she’s already had the baby talk with him, and expressed her concern that at 41-years-old, her baby making days are winding down.  Justin seems both smitten with Katy and the celebrity lifestyle, and the source says that he’s open to having a baby with Katy if their relationship continues to quickly progress. (or will this scare him away?)
