TAYLOR SWIFT HAS MORE THAN FOOTBALL ON HER MIND

AmbitiousTaylor Swift is making plans for a career pivot as soon as her Eras tour concludes. Although she’s dabbled in acting (who can forget her disastrous appearance in the megaflop Cats) Taylor has never been taken seriously as a potential TV or movie star. Now she’s hoping to change that with a little help from her friend, creator Lena Dunham. The women are collaborating on a project which Lena is writing and Taylor will star in. They recently met in London to brainstorm on ideas. My source says Taylor was a huge fan of Lena‘s series Girls and wants to star in a movie that has a similar feminist slant – the LAST thing she wants to do is a musical or a romantic comedy.

OPRAH AND DR PHIL ARE NOT AS CLOSE AS YOU THINK

Here’s an interesting piece of the puzzle of a previous item. Back in February 2023 we told you that Dr. Phil was planning to run for Senate and that his political leanings were opposite of his mentor Oprah Winfrey. Well Phil’s ambitious plans have taken an interesting turn. His recent interview with Donald Trump made him somewhat of a laughingstock, when with a straight face, he described the notoriously fragile Trump as having thick skin and not caring what people thought of him. (NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH) My source says that kissing up to Trump and his devoted MAGA followers is part of Phil’s plan to get into politics. Here’s the scoop – Phil was secretly a candidate to be Trump’s VP pick, but is now hoping to land a position in his cabinet if he’s elected.

AMAZON IS NOT ENOUGH FOR LAUREN SANCHEZ

Apparently marrying one of the richest men in the world isn’t enough for former TV anchor Lauren Sanchez. Now she has her sights set on the White House! Ambitious Lauren is confiding to pals that one of the reasons she and her billionaire fiancé, Jeff Bezos moved from Seattle to Miami is that it will be the perfect launching pad for an eventual presidential run for Jeff. The fiscally conservative yet socially liberal businessman is seriously thinking about making a run for office in 2028 and it was all Lauren’s idea. Of course it’s years away and a lot could change by then, but the insider says Jeff has already started taking steps to prepare for a campaign.

WOULD YOU BUY MAKEUP FROM CAITLYN JENNER?

Not that she isn’t attractive, but we were DUMFOUNDED when TMZ revealed that ambitious Caitlyn Jenner is considering marketing a makeup collection under her name! Apparently she was impressed by her daughter Kylie’s success at selling her lip color. Of course, Kylie’s customers are her teenage girl-fans, but WHO are Caitlyn’s followers? (Caitlyn is not exactly Cindy Crawford) Will Caitlyn’s collection be aimed at mature women? Or will her target customers be other trans-women? There appears to be a limited market here and the whole idea seems incredibly unrealistic and ego-driven. What’s next – a fashion collection for “tall gals?”

ANDERSON COOPER AS A YOUNG REPORTER

#andersoncooper #janecharlton

Anderson Cooper graduated from Yale in 1989 and he went to work for Channel One in Los Angeles as a low- level fact checker. When he failed to get promoted on-air, he made a fake press pass and used it to gain access to film his own news segments, which he ultimately sold to the network. He did what he had to do – and it worked. Plus, he was REALLY adorable!
