HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The BIGGEST and most SHOCKING entertainment news of the week was the unexpected split between Nicole Kidman and her husband of 19 years, Keith Urban.  Although we didn’t see this coming, here’s what we now know.  My source says that Keith started having a midlife crisis last October, when he turned 57-years-old, and it intensified throughout the year.  While this is pure speculation on my source’s part, there’s been some rumblings in Nashville that Keith might have fallen off the sober wagon and returned to his party ways.  Again pure speculation.  In addition, he also recently purchased a rare and pricey Porsche and seemed obsessed with his appearance – undergoing anti-aging procedures.  Reports are now circulating that he’s already moved on, and this doesn’t surprise my source who adds “the 2025 Keith just isn’t the man Nicole married”.

 

 

 

Speaking of Nicole Kidman, now that she’s filed for divorce,she’s suddenly looking for a place to hang her hat in Los Angeles.  Although Nicole loves her life in Nashville, Tennessee, she doesn’t think it’s the best place to be a single mom.  Some of her single celebrity friends, including Reese Witherspoon, are encouraging her to relocate to LA, so once the dust settles on her divorce, it’s on her calendar for 2026 – and that’s why she’s already started looking for her bachelorette pad.

 

 

 

And speaking of Reese Witherspoon, she’s already offering to play matchmaker and fix Nicole up with a successful businessman.  After two failed marriages to men in the entertainment industry, Reese seems to have found happiness with financier Oliver Haarmann, who’s loaded and has NO interest in being in the limelight.  Reese was the bigger breadwinner in her last two marriages and she confided to friends that it’s refreshing to have a man who actually earns way more than she does.  That’s why she feels a similar businessman would be the perfect match for Nicole.

 

 

 

Fran Drescher made the news when she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on September 30.  She was joined by the adorable women who played the young girls on The Nanny, Nicholle Tom and Madeline Zima, and here’s what we just heard.  The gals, who have stayed in contact all these years, got to thinking that now would be the perfect time to revisit The Nanny.  Although this had been talked about before, this time it seems to be likely to happen.  They aren’t sure if they should do a movie, a series reboot or even a two-hour special similar to the one the Friends cast did a few years back, but one way or another you can expect to see your favorite gal from Flushing back with the Sheffields.

 

 

 

Taylor Swift was all over the news when it was reported that she turned down the Super Bowl halftime show and Bad Bunny got the gig.  Well we just heard this very inside scoop.  All is not lost Taylor fans.  The NFL is now trying to get Taylor to sing the National Anthem!  Unlike the months of preparation to star in the halftime show, Taylor won’t have to commit to this performance until almost the last minute.  My source says that if her fiance, Travis Kelce and his Kansas City Chiefs make the Super Bowl then it’s very likely Taylor will accept the offer.

 

 

 

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made headlines when they married last weekend.  In their wedding photos Benny was wearing a very rare and expensive diamond encrusted watch.  Here’s what we know.  The timepiece was actually a wedding gift from his new wife Selena!  Benny loves his bling, so Selena dropped hundreds of thousands on the item (pocket change for her since she’s rumored to be worth over a billion dollars).

 

 

 

Eric Dane was in the news for meeting with Congressman Eric Swalwell to urge him to fight for the renewal of the ALS Act which provided five years of funding for research into the debilitating disease and is set to expire in 2026. We know this. Although Eric is vowing to fight until the last breath as he battles ALS, a source reveals that privately he’s having doubts that he wants to continue if the disease robs him of his ability to speak, breathe on his own, and move.  Behind closed doors, Eric has spoken with a doctor friend about his end of life options if he deteriorates  to the point of being bedridden and unable to function.  Nothing has been decided just yet, and Eric does want to continue fighting the good fight, but he just wanted to explore his options while he still has the mental and physical ability to make these decisions.

 

 

 

Blast from the past Ricky Martin was in the news for posting a naked thirst trap photo on his social media.  Here’s what we know.  The openly gay singer is looking for love and uses a nearly identical photo on his dating apps, including Raya and Grindr.  He decided to share the photo with his followers as well since he is proud of his muscled physique and figured it might generate enough attention to spark the interest of a potential boyfriend.

 

 

 

On a personal note, the Government has shut down due to lack of funding and we know the feeling.  We are a self funded website and our costs exceed what little revenue we generate from ads.  We believe in checkbook journalism and have been able to bring you some juicy scoops (Rihanna giving birth to a daughter comes to mind) because we do our best to pay a very little something to our sources.  Our goal for the next few months is to publicize our site more and hopefully generate enough income to at least break even.  So now dear readers we are asking you to do your part and please spread the word.  SHARE- whatever you can do!  The more clicks we get the more ad revenue we can generate and that translates to the more gossip we can dish-  Thank you!

TAYLOR SWIFT IS PREPARING FOR A DIFFERENT LIFE

If you needed any more proof that Taylor Swift was planning to spend a lot more time in her fiance Travis Kelce’s current hometown of Kansas City,  then think again.  It’s no secret that Taylor loves to shop, and she recently opened up a house account at Hall’s, located on the Plaza in KC.  It’s basically considered THE place to shop for upscale clothes, cosmetics, and jewelry.  The specialty store offers house accounts to their best and most monied customers,  and a more traditional credit card for the masses.  My source says Taylor also has chosen a personal shopper to assist her.  Remember, Kansas City isn’t exactly known for being a shopper’s paradise, but it looks like Taylor is leaning into the idea that she’s going to be spending a lot of time there once she marries Travis in 2026.

RIHANNA’S LIFE STORY IS ON THE WAY

Although many of her songs are reflections of her life, Rihanna is getting ready to put pen to paper and write her autobiography.  According to my source, Ri already has a lucrative deal in place to tell all, including her how parents troubled marriage affected her. She wanted to wait until her recently deceased father passed away before she dished the dirt.  She will also spill the beans on her troubled relationship with Chris Brown, and how she finally found happiness with A$AP Rocky.  Don’t rush to the bookstore just yet though –  her tell-all isn’t slated to be released until late 2026 or early 2027. (Above, Rihanna running errands in her tutu before baby daughter arrived)

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This A-lister seems to be on top of the world, with fame and fortune, but he’s harboring a dirty secret which could explain his mercurial mood swings.  He’s being blackmailed by a former “costar” who has a video of him using racist, homophobic and antisemitic language!  The tape could easily destroy our guy’s prominent career, his numerous friendships and his family life. Instead of going to the authorities, he’s begrudgingly paying the ransom to keep the tape from ever seeing the light of day.  It’s costing him a fortune – but luckily he can afford it.  He IS vindictive though, so he ‘s busy plotting his revenge.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

It’s been a hot minute since our award winning television star was a big deal.  But then again her career has always been like a roller coaster – one season she’s a has-been, and the next season she’s a big star again.  Her residuals aren’t enough to fund her still lavish lifestyle, so she now has a wealthy benefactor who’s had the hots for her since she first became a household name. They were introduced through a mutual friend – he is a midwestern billionaire with peripheral ties to the entertainment industry, but not a household name.  He’s also married and has been for decades, so their affair is a big secret. He’s very generous however, and is still smitten, so that’s why our gal is suddenly popping up in social media seemingly living her best extravagant life – with global travel and major shopping sprees.  She even used some of her sugar daddy’s cash on a $150,000 Beverly Hills facelift!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This television icon has made a name for himself both in front of and behind the camera but he’s thinking about retiring from show biz and making a new name for himself – as a woman!  He’s been lucky in business, but very unlucky in love, and after going through an intense therapy process he came to the conclusion that he’s a woman trapped inside a man’s body.  He is slowly confiding to his innermost circle of friends that he’s seriously considering transitioning once he winds down his career.  For the time being, behind closed doors, he’s dressing up as a female wearing elaborate wigs, gowns and jewels.  Behind his back, his inner circle can’t help but compare him to one of his former costars who he seems to be emulating when he dresses in drag.

CAITLYN JENNER WANTS KRIS JENNER’S FACE

Caitlyn Jenner wants to look more feminine and she’s even hoping to resemble her ex-wife, Kris!  The Olympian athlete turned reality star who was formerly known as Bruce  (before undergoing a sex change operation 10 years ago)  just isn’t thrilled with how she ‘s aged since the surgery.  According to my source, Caitlyn wants to use Dr. Steven Levine, the SAME plastic surgeon responsible for Kris Jenner’s recent facelift, which seemed to make her look decades younger.  Caitlyn promptly had a consultation with the NY based doctor and expressed that more than anything,  she would like to look like Kris.  My source adds that Kris doesn’t know whether to be honored or freaked out, but she IS amused.

BILL BELICHICK’S GIRLFRIEND HAS NEW OPTIONS

Jordan Hudson’s May/December romance with football coach Bill Belichick launched her into becoming a somewhat household name and now Bravo’s own Andy Cohen is hoping to take her fame to the next level.  Although Jordan and Bill aren’t married yet, Andy feels she would be PERFECT as a Real Housewife on one of his many franchises.  According to my network source, Jordan has already been greenlit,  but now it’s just a matter of timing and logistics.  Andy hasn’t decided on what incarnation makes the most sense, but sooner or later you can expect to see Jordan on one of the shows.

JENNIFER COOLIDGE COULD GET RICH WHILE GETTING SKINNY

Now that she’s checked out of White Lotus,  Jennifer Coolidge’s next role might just be her most challenging yet.  Jennifer has made no secret of her struggles with weight. (We aren’t body shaming, we are just saying what she’s already acknowledged.)  In fact, Jennifer readily admits that she nearly turned down the first season of White Lotus due to her weight gain.  Her weight has always fluctuated, and now she’s been offered a multimillion dollar deal to endorse an injectable weight loss medication.  My source didn’t know which one, but it’s definitely one of the mainstream ones.  The catch is:  the more she loses, the more she will earn for appearing in ads and commercials.  Jennifer is torn as she isn’t sure she wants to be associated with weight loss drugs, but a paycheck is a paycheck, and this one just might be too huge to pass up.

WE TOLD YOU ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT AND THE NFL

This isn’t a We Told Ya So,  but more of a “we knew what we were talking about. ” Back on September 4, we wrote this in our weekly Here’s What We Know recap:

 

 

Taylor Swift made the news when the commissioner of the NFL announced she basically had an open invitation if she wanted to ever perform at the Super Bowl during halftime.  We know this.  Taylor has already been in talks with the NFL about starring in the halftime show in 2026, but a deal has yet to be worked out – and here’s why.  The performers don’t get paid (although some of their expenses are covered) for doing the show as it’s considered an honor, and while Taylor certainly doesn’t need the money, she wants the league to make a generous donation to one of her preferred charities.  If that can be ironed out,  she will be the headliner and the ratings will be HUGE.
Well, guess what –  the NFL refused to meet her demands (like we told ya, weeks before anyone else) and she respectfully declined.  See link…
 Bad Bunny was just announced as the halftime performer and since he’s not yet as popular or famous as Taylor, he obviously didn’t have any demands for the NFL to meet.
