HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

This A-list couple didn’t have the friendliest of splits, and now our gal doesn’t want her ex (who can be mercurial) to be around their children unsupervised – in fact she would prefer sole custody and no visitation. If she had HER way,  the kids would never see their dad, but the kids like spending time with him so she has no choice.  Their divorce decree allows him to spend part of the summer traveling with the kids so our gal figured out a way to keep an eye on things just in case her ex acts up during their current vacation. Their new “nanny” who looks sweet and harmless, is actually a military trained spy who is now a professional bodyguard with a black belt in martial arts.  She’s secretly filming everything that goes on as our gal hopes to get some dirt to take to the courts and get her ex out of her life forever.

 

GUESS WHO!!

LUIGI MANGIONE HAS MORE THAN 27 IDEAS

Irresistible accused killer Luigi Mangione also made news when he sent out an electronic communication from jail.  Luigi turned 27 on May 6 and he compiled a list of 27 things he’s grateful for despite being incarcerated while awaiting his upcoming trials.  We heard that the list is only the tip of the iceberg of Luigi’s literary career.  Behind bars, he’s secretly working on a book that he hopes to release BEFORE any verdict in his trial is rendered.  Since he’s accused of murder but not convicted yet,  Luigi would be able to keep any proceeds from the book that are earned.  If he is eventually convicted, then any proceeds after that conviction could be prohibited.  We also hear he  intends to use some money for his legal defense and the remainder  will go to social causes he’s passionate about.

ARMIE HAMMER AND HIS EXWIFE ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS

Their divorce was messy to say the LEAST, but apparently time DOES heal all wounds, and now Armie Hammer is friendly again with his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers, and he’s ALSO close to her new boyfriend, Preston Landes. Armie spends a lot of time at Elizabeth’s Los Angeles home when he visits his two kids, Harper and Ford,  and my source says Elizabeth’s decades-younger boyfriend is all but living there.  Armie and Preston have become close friends (!) and Armie wholeheartedly supports Elizabeth’s relationship with him even though he’s nearly 20 years younger than she is. And get this!  Armie has introduced his model-type girlfriend to Elizabeth, and now they’ve become chummy! Sounds like a sitcom…

BROOKLYN BECKHAM’S PARENTS ARE NOT HAPPY

Thank God he married money, because Brooklyn Beckham is close to being disinherited and losing out on a cut of his parents half BILLION dollar fortune!  According to my source, David and Victoria Beckham are at their wits end with Brooklyn, and blame his trust fund baby wife Nicola Peltz (her dad is a billionaire hedge fund honcho) for his shenanigans.  It’s no secret that there’s a major rift between Brooklyn and his folks, but now David and Victoria are confiding to pals that unless things drastically change, they’re rewriting their trusts and leaving Brooklyn next to nothing.

SLY STONE TO THE RESCUE

Sly of the Family Stone died this week and we have some wonderful memories of him. In the 70’s we had a store on Sunset Strip (across from Tower Records) called The Garment District and all the rock stars shopped there. Sly LOVED fashion  and bought just about anything he could find in his favorite colors, black, red, or white – especially if fringe or rhinestones were involved. He became a regular customer  and one day he walked in  during a dramatic moment. A well-known black actor’s young  boyfriend had attempted to steal an expensive pair of pants the actor had admired in a previous visit. I had a shoplifter policy: I offered the boyfriend a choice- either I could call the police and have him arrested, or he could pay me TWICE the price of the item he tried to steal.  He didn’t have the money, but Sly stepped in and paid twice the price for the garment , and sent the boyfriend home. It was an odd situation, but I know Sly meant well. That’s just ONE of many  fun stories I have about him… he will be missed…

BLAKE LIVELY’S PROBLEMS ARE NOT OVER

Blake Lively is celebrating since Justin Baldoni’s lawsuits were tossed out, but she still has worries. Her hair care line Blake Brown is underperforming ever since her legal mess with former costar, Jason became a huge thing.  Although a final decision has not yet been made, my source says that Target, once one of the brand’s biggest distributors, is secretly thinking about discontinuing carrying it, and severing ties with Blake.  Sales have dropped nearly 75% since the brand launched and the reason appears to be people are turned off by Blake’s lawsuit against Justin.  My source adds that this wouldn’t be the first time Target severed ties with a tainted celebrity’s brand as the company, like most other large chains, prefers to distance itself from anything even remotely scandalous.

MILEY CYRUS: WHAT’S MISSING FROM THIS PHOTO?

Miley Cyrus is looking quite fabulous at the Tribeca Film Festival premier of her short film Something Beautiful – she’s recently returned from Paris and she’s wearing vintage Jean Paul Gaultier. (a first for her) and look at all that HAIR! It’s apparent that Miley, 32,  has put that “naughty girl” persona behind her and she’s devoting herself to an all-out GLAMOROUS sex-symbol image. What’s missing? (and SHOULD BE) is that tongue she used to stick out at every opportunity.  It’s a whole new Miley…

THE GAP IS ROMANCING MEGHAN MARKLE

Meghan Markle raised a few eyebrows this week when she did something she rarely does – she shared photos of her children on social media. And there’s a very good reason Megan suddenly seems to be open to featuring her children on her posts. She’s been offered a 7+ figure deal with The Gap to pose for a series of ads, and the offer goes UP if she includes her children in the ads – and even more so,  if she somehow persuades her husband, Prince Harry to join her.  In case you needed more proof that a deal is in the works, barely a few months ago Meg posted a photo of herself on her social media, wearing head to toe Gap (photo above) and the outfit sold out within minutes!

ASHTON KUTCHER IS IN THE MOOD FOR A CORVETTE TODAY

Ashton Kutcher has a collection of at least a dozen cars at home, but he seems to really love driving this 1959 Chevy Corvette with the luscious red interior. Last year this car broke down in the valley and he had plenty of guys volunteering to help him push it to the side of the road. Photos were taken, and it became quite an event. We happen to have a weakness for big vintage cars- Ashton  also has a ’69 Ford Mustang, a ’70 Ford Camaro, and a pink Impala low rider in his car collection, not to mention a Tesla  and a Ferrari, among others…

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin made headlines this week when it was revealed first by People magazine that the longtime couple had broken up for good, ending their engagement.  Here’s what we know. Although they have been on and off for awhile, which my source attributes to growing pains, this time it really does seem to be final –  and here’s why. Every other time the couple temporarily split, Dakota held on to the engagement ring that Chris gave her, but this time she gave it back to him! That alone speaks volumes.

The Diddy trial continues and still generating headlines.  Our source behind the scenes tells us that behind very closed doors negotiations continue and a plea deal could actually be reached before the defense even begins to make their side of the case.  The deal, far from a sure thing, includes some prison time and a Federal facility as well as a HEFTY fine.

The Beckhams feud with their son Brooklyn is getting hotter by the moment.  My source says that Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz are actually contemplating dropping Beckham from their already hyphenated last name.  When they married,  their last name became Peltz-Beckham.  Would Brooklyn actually drop his family’s last name in favor of Peltz?  (Remember, the incredibly wealthy Peltzs’ are now supporting Brooklyn) My source says that the paperwork is already drawn up but nothing has been filed yet, but it seems to be headed in that direction.

Armie Hammer made the news when his ex-wife, Elizabeth Chambers posted photos of them together celebrating their son Ford graduating the first grade (apparently that’s a thing now).  Here’s what we know. The couple, who went through a very nasty divorce, are now wonderful friends. They’re so close that Armie has even stayed at Elizabeth‘s house on occasion. But before you get the wrong idea, there’s no chance of a reconciliation. Elizabeth has a 24-year-old boyfriend and my source says Armie has been spotted all around town with a gorgeous model type, who seems to be his girlfriend.

Sarah Jessica Parker and her girls from the Sex and the City spin off, And Just Like That, made the news when their third season dropped this past week on Max.  Although nothing has been confirmed, we are hearing that the third time might NOT be the charm, and this could be the last season of the show. Although it attracted enough viewers, it’s not pulling in such a large audience and the cast pretty much feel it’s getting stale.  Nothing’s been decided yet, and SJP has the final say, but as of now it looks like this could be it.

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet made the news for appearing courtside together and a few NY Knicks playoff games.  We know this.  Although Kylie wasn’t the good luck charm Timothee hoped for, (his team LOST the series to the Indiana Pacers) she made it up to him by arranging for him to play a game of hoops later this summer with some of the team’s all-star players!
