She’s neither married or even engaged, but Lourdes Leon is being wooed to join The Real Housewives of New York. Despite a recent cast overhaul, the once popular show isn’t pulling in the ratings it once did. The powers that be, including Bravo’s own Andy Cohen, feel what’s lacking is some STAR POWER. While Lourdes isn’t actually A-list, her mom is MADONNA! The hope is that Madonna will make appearances if Lourdes is cast. A authoritative source reveals that former RHONY star, Luann de Lesseps, is coaching Lourdes for her upcoming screen test…

JULIA GARNER: HAS SHE GOT WHAT IT TAKES?

As we speak, Madonna is still tearing out her hair, trying to decide WHO will star as herself in her upcoming biopic Madame X. Her fans are favoring Ozark star Julia Garner, 28, because there IS more than a passing a resemblance. Although in real life Julia is soft-spoken, she’s capable of flashing some hard-boiled looks like the impatient young Madonna. Madonna herself has her eye on Little Women star UK actress Florence Pugh. Both actresses are taller than Madonna who is actually about 5’2.” (We have stood next to her.) Florence has the edge because she can sing and dance (watch her on youtube) and Madonna has been really fussy about that at auditions. Can you imagine how nerve-wracking it would be to audition for Madonna to play HER?

TOM CRUISE’S SCIENTOLOGY SECRETS ARE LEAKING OUT ONE BY ONE

Another fascinating Scientology story involving Tom Cruise has just been revealed and if we were Tom we’d be getting pretty annoyed with the church by now! A young woman from Norway, a former Scientologist named Anette Johansen, recently realized that she was one of the girls who unknowingly “auditioned” to become Tom Cruise’s wife after he divorced Nicole Kidman and she told her story to Woman’s Day in Australia. Back in 2005, pretty blonde Anette, 27, was filmed helping with disaster relief with Scientologists in Thailand after the tsumani. Later the church contacted her to do a special audition film. She was surprised because there was a makeup artist present who applied lots of eye shadow and lip gloss. Instead of being handed a script she was asked dozens of questions about her personal life and family history – even her sexual preferences. Nothing happened afterward and she didn’t connect the dots until 2012 when she read about the Persian girl who auditioned also and told her similar story to Vanity Fair. That girl had ended up dating Tom for a short while. We wonder HOW MANY girls Tom had to choose from before he settled on Katie!

SCIENTOLOGY IS DESTROYING TOM CRUISE’S CREDIBILITY

#tomcruise #vanityfair #janetcharlton

Tom Cruise has colossal nerve calling the Vanity Fair article about him auditioning female companions “lies designed to sell magazines.” It’s common knowledge that Cruise saw young Nicole Kidman in her first film “Dead Calm” and called her in to audition for “Days of Thunder.” (She got the costarring part and Tom too.) And of course, he auditioned Penelope Cruz for “Vanilla Sky” and SHE got the part and dated Tom until she was scared off by Scientology. And Tom called Katie Holmes in to audition for “Mission Impossible 3” – she didn’t get the part (Michelle Monaghan did) but Katie got Tom! Does ANYONE believe Tom’s denial? Scientology is making Tom look more foolish – and less honest – every day. (Photo – Tom and Vanity Fair in happier times)

EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A “REAL HOUSEWIFE” IN LAS VEGAS

Auditions have started for “The Real Housewives of Las Vegas” and according to Norm Clarke in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, just about everybody in a dress wants IN! Among the throngs of candidates are exotic dancer Virginia Cooper, and female impersonator Frank Marino. Virginia (top photo) and her husband founded a swingers club and both have been living with his girlfriend for the last seven years, so her private life is loaded with twists and turns. Frank Marino imitates Joan Rivers among other celebrities, and produces “Divas, Las Vegas” at Imperial Palace – AND he has a husband. Frank is absolutely DYING to be on the reality show, but that’s up to Bravo’s Andy Cohen, isn’t it?

MADONNA’S BORED: TIME FOR ANOTHER WORLD TOUR

Madonna, 52, has been getting restless and she’s been inspired by her new boyfriend to start planning another world tour. She and her 24 year old French sweetheart Brahim Ziabat have been holding informal auditions for dancers in London. She values Brahim’s input because he’s an accomplished dancer with all the cool moves and it was his steamy style that attracted her in the first place. Dancers thronged the UK nightclub Aura in Mayfair when word got out that Madonna was auditioning. The most amazing dancers in the city gave it their best shot. Madonna and Brahim reportedly drank water all night and left at 2:30 AM with a list of names.
