One of the most unexpected stories this week was news that Taylor Swift was NO LONGER being subpoenaed by Justin Baldoni in his lawsuit against Blake Lively.  Remember we were the FIRST to reveal Justin planned to subpoena Taylor, and here’s what we know about his reversal.  Justin’s tactic WORKED because the LAST thing Blake wanted was to drag her former best friend into her legal mess.  More than anything, Blake wants to get back on track with Taylor, so behind closed doors negotiations are underway to find a way OUT of these lawsuit dramas that can leave both Justin and Blake with the least amount of collateral damage.  My source predicts both lawsuits will be settled before any trial, and before the end of the summer, maybe even sooner!

Speaking of Taylor Swift, her boyfriend Travis Kelce was talked about when photos of him shirtless revealed that not only does her have a very hairy chest he also has an ample amount of back hair.   We just heard that Taylor doesn’t mind his chest hair but doesn’t find his back hair particularly attractive.  He was planning to undergo laser hair removal but the process takes too long and would interfere with his upcoming football season. (He usually just has the back hair waxed off.)   My source says that Travis will eventually undergo permanent hair removal once his schedule allows.

More bombshells out of the Diddy trial, but here’s a new twist.  Diddy has been struggling to get any celebrity pals to testify on his behalf as character witnesses.  So far, no one is willing to voluntarily take the stand.  He’s been advised that he may need to subpoena some of his former girlfriends, like Jennifer Lopez, but is hesitant because hostile witnesses (those unwilling to testify without a subpoena) usually are of no help to the defense.

Speaking of Jennifer Lopez, we just heard that she’s quietly dating again after her very public split from Ben Affleck.  Jen isn’t telling her friends much except that she’s been on a few  private dates with a very eligible bachelor who isn’t involved in the entertainment industry.  We heard the lucky guy ( at least we think he’s lucky, since Jen can be a handful) made billions in business and shuns the limelight.  While we are happy for her, we aren’t sure this is a match made in heaven since J.Lo loves the spotlight, so only time will tell.

Megan Fox made the news when she announced her baby girl with former fiance Machine Gun Kelly wasn’t planned but instead an unexpected surprise.  Not sure that we believe Megan since we heard for a while that she was desperate to have a baby girl and was investigating procedures like sperm spinning to better the odds of influencing the gender of her baby.  Remember, we were the only site to reveal Megan’s pregnancy months before she or anyone else reported on the big news. Planned or not, we are still happy she got the baby girl of her dreams.  We also heard her relationship with MGK has improved and she hasn’t closed the door on a a reconciliation.  Stay tuned.

Yikes! Kourtney Kardashian raised more than a few eyebrows when she announced on her sister Khloe’s podcast that she basically sees no reason to send her kids to school, opting instead for alternative educational choices.  We just heard that despite his many shortcomings, her baby daddy Scott Disick was FURIOUS at the statement and wants his kids with Kourtney to stay in school until they get their masters degrees.  While Kourtney’s husband, Travis Barker apparently isn’t big on education either, (his two children with ex Shanna Moakler aren’t very educated) Scott is putting his foot down and let Kourtney know his feelings, urging her not to allow their kids to drop out. We side with Scott…

And have a Memorable weekend!!
