Cher

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The Malibu fire was one of the biggest stories coming out of Hollywood this week and here’s what we know. While it was reported that Cher had to evacuate her beachfront mansion, what WASN’T reported was that she picked up the tab for some less affluent residents to stay at a hotel a few miles down from the evacuation zone in nearby Santa Monica. My source says that when Cher heard through the grapevine that a few older residents were being brought to shelter, she arranged to pick up their tab for a hotel until the area was safe to return to and insisted on doing her good deed anonymously.

Selena Gomez had an especially good week, getting engaged and getting a Golden Globe nomination for Only Murders in the Building. While she posted a massive diamond engagement ring from new fiance Benny Blanco, we just heard that this wasn’t the first ring he used to pop the question. Benny actually proposed weeks before, but the ring he had custom made wasn’t ready, so he used a lab created diamond ring and explained that her actual ring was on the way. My source says that Benny wanted to propose on a specific day and time since he’s big into numerology, so that’s why he was forced to use a substitute ring when he asked Selena to marry him.

Donald Trump Jr. made the news after he ended his engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle and went public with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson. While this is hardly news to our loyal readers (since we wrote up this months ago) we just heard this: No sooner did Junior officially dump Kim, but he’s now planning to propose to Bettina and he wants a White House wedding in 2025! My inside source reveals that Donald Sr. LOVES the idea of having his son marry in the White House.

Taylor Swift was talked about this week since her highly successful Eras tour just ended. We just heard that while Taylor is taking some time off from performing her hiatus won’t be that long. She’s working on a pay per view live concert from Las Vegas which will likely take place in mid 2025 if all of the arrangements can be worked out.

Another huge story of the week was Megan Fox dumping her boyfriend Machine Gun Kelly even though she’s nearly in her third trimester of pregnancy with his baby. We had the scoop that she was pregnant and we also had the scoop she was having a girl. Here’s what we know. While we also previously reported that the couple were still having some issues we just heard that Megan is planning to sue for full custody and child support and my source says she’s confident she will get it because she allegedly has some very unflattering information on MGK. My source adds that this split was a long time coming and that Megan and MGK are now only communicating through their respective attorneys.

Finally, Donald Trump made headlines for so many reasons including being named Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. Here’s the latest on Donald. He’s always been like a month to a flame when it comes to people who have more money and social standing than he does, and now he’s finally being welcomed into their social circles. My source says that behind the scenes, a campaign is being conducted to butter him. up. Donald was even invited to become a member of The Union Club, one of the oldest and most exclusive social clubs in NYC. Ironically, Donald is the only Republican president whose portrait isn’t hanging in the club, but all of that is about to change since people have seemed to finally figure out the easiest way to manipulate narcissist Donald is to shower him with compliments.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Cher’s autobiography dominated the news this week as she’s been on an ambitious press tour to promote the tell-all, blandly titled Cher: The Memoir. Here’s what we know. Cher is secretly negotiating to turn her story into a MOVIE which SHE will produce and cast! And here’s the surprise: Cher has already reached out to Kim Kardashian (a fellow Armenian) to portray HER! It’s still in the very early planning stages, but we can reveal that interest is strong. Personally, we cannot IMAGINE Kim playing Cher, but stranger things have happened…

One of the biggest stories recently was that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were selling their Montecito, California estate and relocating to the English countryside because Trump won the election. Here’s what we know. The move was planned way BEFORE the votes were cast and tallied as Ellen decided she needed to take an extended break from Hollywood ever since getting canceled for being not so kind. This is the same strategy Ellen used decades ago when she came out as a lesbian and her career opportunities dried up – only that time she didn’t have the financial means to pack up and move overseas. Regardless of who wins the next presidential election, you can expect the gals to move back to the states after this 4 year or so hiatus and then Ellen will try to jumpstart her career.

Speaking of their Montecito estate, none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are interested in buying it. The sprawling property is expected to fetch close to $100 million which is a tad too much for the working Royal and Meg. We are hearing that Harry is looking for creative ways to come up with the cash, possibly having the sale financed by Ellen herself. This is a strong possibility since Ellen is their friend. In another possible scenario, Harry and Meghan might rent the property for the next 4 years, and then Ellen and Portia can move back in when they return to the states.

Reality star Kendra Wilkinson made the news for claiming she’s been on a waiting list for 4 years to join the dating and networking app Raya. Here’s what we just heard. Kendra isn’t waiting around to meet guys as she recently engaged the services of a proven matchmaker who connects beautiful women with successful men. Kendra has already met a few potential suitors but so far hasn’t made a love connection, but she’s focused on finding a partner in 2025.

Ariana Grande continued to make news as her worldwide promotional campaign for Wicked is wrapping up since the much anticipated movie debuts this week. Here’s what we know. Ariana and her costar/boyfriend Ethan Slater are secretly ENGAGED, but the studio begged her to keep the big news hush hush until after the movie has been in theaters for a few weeks. The studio didn’t want the engagement to dominate the headlines and urged her to stay mum. Assuming the romance sticks (we all know Ariana can be fickle when it comes to matters of the heart) expect an engagement announcement between Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

Megan Fox’s pregnancy was still in the news (we had the scoop) and we just heard she’s been ordered on mostly bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy. As we previously reported Megan hasn’t had the easiest time with this pregnancy so she’s listening to her doctor’s instructions and taking it as easy as possible until she gives birth. We also hear she’s passing the time decorating a no expense spared very girly nursery for the little one including a custom made Chrome Hearts crib which costs $100,000!

CHER’S BOYFRIEND HAS SOME EXPENSIVE TEETH

We’ve been watching Cher’s boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards for awhile now and finally got a close look at his glittering teeth. From far away he sometimes looks like he has braces on his teeth, but it’s actually a permanent diamond grill. The Kardashian family dentist installed the 20 custom caps (top and bottom) and it took a month – the look costs around $250,000, but we’re not sure what AE paid for it. Apparently Cher is quite fond of his dental improvements but we can’t help but wonder what happens when he EATS. Does food get stuck in the diamonds?

CHER AND CHROME HEARTS: A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

Cher has become a major fan of home shopping and she doesn’t even have to turn on her TV. Although Cher has hawked various products on HSN over the years, her latest version of home shopping has the stores coming to her! It’s no secret Cher’s a huge fan of Chrome Hearts, and as we have previously reported, she’s turned her boyfriend, Alexander Edwards on to it as well. Since Covid, the flagship stores have a by appointment only policy, and that just doesn’t work for Cher, so whenever she’s in the mood to shop she has her salesclerk schlepp the stuff to her in Malibu. According to my source, over the past few months she ‘s dropped over $300,000 on clothing and jewelry for her and A.E.

KIM KARDASHIAN IS ENJOYING CHER’S CAST-OFF CHROME HEARTS

Here’s something you don’t read every day… Kim Kardashian is wearing hand-me-downs! Before you jump to the wrong conclusion, times aren’t tough for billionaire Kim, but she IS wearing castoffs from Cher’s closet! As we previously reported, Cher has been sorting through her things and downsizing. She and Kim have developed a friendship through the years, partly because they share Armenian roots. Cher has decades worth of designer clothes and accessories, including many from the early seasons of Chrome Hearts, which just HAPPENS to be one of Kim’s now-favorite labels. Although Cher IS planning a huge garage sale,  (I went to one of her sales years ago and it was heaven!)  she gave Kim first dibs on some of the pieces and then gave them to her for free.

CAN OPRAH PUT CHER’S FAMILY BACK TOGETHER?

Cher is Turning 78-years-old on May 20, and all she wants for her birthday is to reconcile with her kids, Chaz and Elijah Blue. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Cher has turned to her longtime pal, Oprah Winfrey, for help! Cher and Oprah go back for decades, developing a friendship after numerous appearances on Oprah’s former daytime talk show. In fact, Cher and her then daughter Chastity who later transitioned into Chaz, appeared on Oprah to talk about their complicated mother/daughter relationship. Oprah has advised Cher through the years, so once again she’s turned to her for help on how to put her family back together. Don’t be too surprised if it happens, and we expect to see Cher and her kids talking about it on one of Oprah’s regular television interview specials.

IS CHER OVERINDULGING HER YOUNG BOYFRIEND?

Cher “Believes in Love” and she’s not looking at the pricetag. As we previously reported, Cher’s son, Elijah Blue has his doubts about the true intentions of her boy toy, Alexander “AE” Edwards, and NOW we know why! According to our source, Cher has been spoiling her 40-years-younger boyfriend with expensive trinkets of her affection, including, but not limited to, shopping sprees at her favorite brand, Chrome Hearts! We don’t have the actual total, but our source says Cher has dropped 7 figures on him since the romance began. That’s why Elijah is skeptical of his mom’s boyfriend’s motives…We’re just happy to see Cher having so much fun!

WATCH OUT CHER, ELIJAH IS NOT HAPPY

Cher recently made headlines when she unsuccessfully attempted to get a conservatorship over her seemingly troubled son Elijah Blue Allman and now he’s hoping to turn the tables and get back at her! Elijah is trying to team up with his half-sibling, Chaz (formerly Chastity) Bono to go to court and wrestle control of their mom’s estate. Elijah and Chaz have tumultuous relationships with their mom, especially since Cher started romancing Alexander Edwards, who happens to be 40 years younger than she is. They feel she’s being manipulated by him and they have the nerve to call it ELDER ABUSE. The tentative plan is to get a conservator appointed to handle Cher’s finances! Keep in mind this comes from a very inside source and no lawsuits have been filed yet, but buckle your seatbelts, as our source says it’s going to get bumpy!

CHER IS RETHINKING HER WILL

If she could turn back time, Cher might have taken a stricter approach raising her allegedly troubled 47 year old son Elijah Blue. But that’s not an option, so she’s doing the next best thing – rewriting her will! Cher was unsuccessful in her recent court battle to be named Elijah’s conservator, so now she’s making sure any money he might inherit from her estate won’t go directly to him. Although Elijah’s dad, Gregg Allman, left him a trust when he passed away in 2017, it’s a pittance compared to Cher’s net worth. Given his struggles with sobriety, Cher is deciding what -if anything- to leave her son. One thing is for certain, even if she decides to keep him in her will, Elijah will never have direct access to one cent of her money!

CHER’S ROMANCE RETURNED WITH A VENGEANCE

Well, it sure LOOKS LIKE Cher and her 40 years younger on-again boyfriend Alexander “AE” Edwards are getting serious! How do we know? First of all, they traveled together to Paris for Fashion Week. That is exactly where they were introduced last year by mutual friend Tyga. THIS time they were inseparable and affectionate. Cher even wore her platinum blonde wig that matched AE’s hair. And they are starting to dress alike – lots of black leather and metal. Before they split last May, Cher said they were working on new music together – AE is a rapper and record executive. Does Cher know that AE has said he doesn’t believe in monogamy and cheated on his last girlfriend with 12 women? She DOES seem to be having a good time …this is going to be an interesting relationship.
