HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

These two actresses were thicker than thieves back when Gal A was an international star and Gal B barely a household name.  The tides turned and Gal B became more famous and wealthier than Gal A could ever hope to be, but their friendship still endured – until now.  It’s not a jealousy thing that drove a wedge in their friendship, it’s their spouses.  Their significant others can’t stand one another, which is the real reason Gal A was a no show at a recent event hosted by Gal B.  Mutual friends are trying to broker a peace deal, but it’s proving a challenge since the men are stubborn and want NOTHING to do with each other.

 

GUESS WHO!!

JENNIFER ANISTON: THIS ONE MIGHT BE A KEEPER

Jennifer Aniston doesn’t want history to repeat itself at least when it comes to romance.  Jen believes her marriage to Justin Theroux didn’t last was because he loved New York and she was a born and raised California girl.  Justin made it clear to Jen that he wanted to live in NYC,  but Jen never committed to leaving LA – and the marriage ended after 3 years.  After 6 years of being single, Jen is confiding to pals that she might have found Mr Right  in professional hypnotist, Jim Curtis. But once again,  HE lives in NYC with his son Aidan, and although he enjoys visiting LA,  his life, son, and business are all in Manhattan.  That’s why Jen is now confiding to friends that she’s ready to make the move and settle down in NY if things with Jim continue to progress.  As my source explains, Jen realizes she is going to need to compromise, and while she will always call LA home, she’s prepared to move if she has to…(We cannot IMAGINE her giving up that gorgeous mid-century modern hillside house in LA!)

ANNA WINTOUR WAY BEFORE VOGUE

Love, love, love, this 1978 photo of Anna Wintour  as a young woman out on the town. Cannot HELP but notice she had the SAME haircut that she has today, but her skirts have gotten considerably longer.  Gossip we’ve heard about her, along with photos, thru the years have led us to assume she’s not a particularly fun person, and very judgmental.  Probably scary.  So it’s nice to know she probably wasn’t ALWAYS that way…

CHERYL HINES IS REBOOTING HER ENTHUSIASM

Now that she’s basically persona non grata in Hollywood, former Curb Your Enthusiasm actress, Cheryl Hines is planning to follow in her husband, RFK Jr.’s footsteps and get involved in government.  According to a former friend, Cheryl is all but cancelled in the entertainment industry ever since she aligned herself with some of her husband’s conspiracy theory beliefs, so she is now sucking up to her hubby’s boss, Donald Trump, hoping to get appointed a position in the administration.  As my source puts it, Cheryl is isolated now that she relocated to Washington DC,  so she’s angling for a position, either paying or non-paying, just so she can feel like she’s more than a trophy wife.

JENNIFER COOLIDGE: THE NEXT BIG THING

Her time on White Lotus is over, but Jennifer Coolidge is counting on her pal, series creator, Mike White, to create a series specifically for her.  Playing Tanya McQuoid on the series was the biggest thing to happen to Jennifer’s career since her role in Legally Blonde, and she won Emmys for both of those performances.  After getting killed off at the end of the second season, Jennifer’s career has plateaued and now’s she’s betting on Mike to change that.  He’s working on a pilot with Jennifer playing the lead – and it should go into production in early 2026.

LAUREN SANCHEZ-BEZOS GOT MORE THAN JUST A HUSBAND

Add Lauren Sanchez-Bezos to the list of global billionaires.  Even though Lauren’s July wedding to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos now seems like old news, we couldn’t help but share this tidbit we just heard.  Soon after the ink dried on their ironclad prenuptial agreement, Jeff surprised Lauren with one last wedding present – he made her an instant billionaire by gifting her enough shares in his various entities that she’d qualify for the status.  My source says that Jeff didn’t want to feel like the sugar daddy in the relationship, and since many of Lauren’s galpals, like Kim Kardashian, already have achieved billionaire status, he wanted Lauren to have that same feeling.  Although we expect their marriage to last, whatever happens, Lauren can now claim she’s a billionaire.

THE ABRUPT ENDING OF AND JUST LIKE THAT

File this under things that make you go hmmm.  Michael Patrick King, the showrunner of the now completed And Just Like That, claims that he and star Sarah Jessica Parker knew well in advance that the series would be ending after the just aired third season, but our well placed source connected to the show has some DOUBTS and here’s why.  It’s tradition that when a show ends (and isn’t unexpectedly cancelled ) there’s a cast and crew party with the stars usually giving the crew and each other parting gifts. Then the sets are dismantled and souvenirs taken – but in this case there was no party, no gifts exchanged and no set souvenirs.  My source adds that the abruptness of it seems off, and speculates that the show suddenly ended because of something else.  The source adds perhaps it’s an innocuous as the production costs were too high – or perhaps it’s something more serious like one of the principle actors is ill.  Hmmm… will we ever know?

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Taylor Swift was back in the news when she revealed (on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast no less) that she was getting ready to drop her newest album, The Life of a Showgirl.  Here’s what we know!  Our well placed source reveals that there are many Easter Eggs  (for older readers, that means hidden clues and references) on some of the songs, including a few not so subtle digs at Donald Trump.  The President, when he’s not busy running the country, seems to enjoying posting negative things about Taylor on social media, so we just can’t wait to hear how she disses him on the album.

 

Speaking of Donald Trump, he was in the news for unexpectedly announcing who he chose for this year’s Kennedy Center Honors.  We know this.  Although it’s been reported that Trump wanted to honor Tom Cruise and the actor turned him down, we can tell you why.  Our well placed source says that after a cold streak Tom is back on top of the box office and he wants to stay there.  He’s been advised to keep his mouth shut on two topics – religion and politics.  That’s why he rarely seems to mention his involvement in Scientology these days, and that’s also why he didn’t want to be seen getting a medal from Trump.  His handlers knew that the optic might alienate some moviegoers, so the honor was politely declined.

 

In truly shocking news, Hollywood billionaire David Geffen now claims that his decades younger husband, David Andrew Armstrong, just used him for his money.  We are shocked that this wasn’t true love for the 82-year-old mogul and his 32-year-old former adult model!  We just heard this juicy tidbit.  The younger husband allegedly has a cache worth of incriminating photos of David and is planning to use them as leverage in case he doesn’t secure a generous settlement.  Our inside source says that there have been rumblings of a sex tape as well!

 

Wendy Williams made headlines when a judge decided to keep her under a guardianship claiming she is indeed, suffering from dementia.  Although her attorney Joe Tacopina is vowing to appeal the ruling, we can tell you this.  Joe is planning to reach out to his former client, Donald Trump, and have the president intervene in Wendy’s ongoing case.  Although Joe resigned as one of Trump’s attorneys, my source reveals they parted ways on good terms, so Trump is likely to help secure Wendy’s release.

 

Kelly Clarkson was in the news when it was revealed her late ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock left her for her former personal assistant, Brittney Jones.  Although we were just as shocked as everyone else by the news, we can tell you this.  Kelly told NO ONE about this during her and Brandon’s contentious divorce, even though the news would have likely swayed public opinion in her favor.  Although we have a source connected to Kelly, even that source did not know the reason Brandon and Kelly divorced.  As my source explains, this is typical of Kelly who is uncomfortable in the limelight.  She chose to keep the news of Brandon and Brittney’s romance to herself, even hiding it from all but her closest circle of friends.

 

Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton was in the news when he revealed he was releasing a book on his life and struggles.  We can tell you this, the tome is all about Chris and his battles with depression and feeling inferior, so don’t expect any juicy dirt on the celebrities, like Kim Kardashian, that he works on.  Chris has signed strict NDAs with most of his high-profile clients, so his book won’t include anything that they haven’t already signed off on.  My source reveals that Chris is hoping to parlay the book into a nationwide speaking tour and eventually hopes to pivot his career to a motivational speaker since he’s getting worn out working on updos and is searching for more meaning in his life.

 

Jimmy Kimmel made headlines when he revealed on his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Silverman’s podcast that he has secured an Italian citizenship just to be safe against the antics of Donald Trump.  We can tell you this.  Jimmy quietly purchased an Italian villa near George Clooney’s Lake Como estate.  He’s having major renovations done to it and while he was joking about leaving the USA (at least for the time being) he does eventually plan to spend more and more time in Italy, which is why he’s also brushing up on his Italian, thanks to a private tutor.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This legendary musician checks all the boxes of being a bonafide rock star.  Back in the day he had it all – a red hot career, fame, fortune, and romances with the world’s most beautiful women.  But time can be cruel, and now he’s suffering from impotence.  He‘s been to the world’s best doctors, has tried every erectile dysfunction medicine on the market, and even has a penis pump, but he just can’t seem to get it up.  His current partner is much younger and understandably quite unsatisfied in the bedroom,  so she made him a deal – she gets to sleep with other men as long as she continues to play the part of his loving and loyal partner.

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

She’s one of America’s sweethearts and still is beloved by countless fans, even though she’s no longer on Hollywood’s A list.  But she has a dirty little secret – she has terrible personal hygiene.  Not only does she suffer from a very pungent body odor, but she also refuses to use any intimate hygiene products and it usually becomes a huge turnoff for any potential male suitors.  One of her closest friends recently mustered up the courage to bring up the sensitive subject, but despite the best of intentions,  our gal was offended and it drove a wedge in the once unbreakable friendship.  She recently even lost out on a career opportunity when the casting director couldn’t stomach her noxious odor.
