Armie Hammer

Travis Kelce and his brother Jason made headlines this week with their $100 million podcast deal with Amazon, but we just heard, however, that their payday will substantially INCREASE if they persuade Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to appear on the show. No surprise there. Taylor’s presence at NFL games last season pulled in tons of new viewers, and the thinking behind the bonus incentive is that Taylor can do the same for the podcast.

Justin Theroux was talked about this week when we heard about his engagement to actress Nicole Bloom. We know this: Before Justin and Nicole announced their engagement, he reached out to his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, and broke the news to her himself. According to my well placed source, Justin and Jen remain good friends even though their marriage didn’t last, and that’s why he gave her the heads up. She is genuinely happy that he’s found someone to share his life with, so don’t fall for the soon-to-be tabloid stories claiming she’s distraught. She’s not!

This week Armie Hammer was all over the news when he revealed he was selling his beloved truck because he couldn’t afford the gas. Loyal readers will remember we were the first to report about his financial struggles. We just heard this interesting update: Now that Armie has a regular car, he’s planning to make some money as an Uber driver! As shocking as that sounds, remember, Armie previously held a job selling timeshares. According to my source, Arnie’s incredibly wealthy family isn’t helping him, so he’s determined to prove to them, and to the world, that he doesn’t need their financial support.

Who is surprised that narcissistic Donald Trump was in the news yet again for more bad behavior? This time Donald made headlines for his inappropriate conduct at Arlington National Cemetery where he turned a solemn moment into a manufactured political stunt. Donald may not be too happy to find out what we just heard. One of the families of the soldiers buried there is gearing up to sue him and his campaign for the unauthorized photography of the grave. That is strictly for prohibited by national law.

In unpleasant news, Dancing With The Stars regular Artem Chigvintsev made headlines when he was arrested and charged with domestic violence and spousal abuse. Not a fun subject to gossip about, but nonetheless here’s what we know. The argument between Artem and his wife (and assumed victim) Nikki Garcia aka Nikki Bella that started the incident was over an infidelity. Our source didn’t know who accused who of cheating, but that was rumored to be what caused the situation to escalate and reportedly get physical.

And finally our gal Kamala Harris made the news for making news! She granted her first interview since becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate to CNN and we just heard this. She’s lining up more sit-downs with other networks, including the conservative FOX News. Expect to see her upcoming interviews after the September presidential debate.
