REBEL WILSON MAKES HER OWN DREAMS COME TRUE

Rebel Wilson is hoping to return to the scene of the crime. Rebel and her fiancé, Ramona Ahriman got engaged in February 2023 at one of her favorite places on earth, Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Now the two are hoping to hold their wedding there. Their dream is to host the ceremony at the theme park and have a lavish reception at the park’s Grand Californian Hotel. The details including the date are still being work out, but the one thing that’s already been decided is their daughter Royce will be the flower girl.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Paula Abdul’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her former coworker and friend, Nigel Lythgoe is making headlines as the two engage in back and forth of he said /she saids. Here’s what we know: The two had a major falling out prior to Paula filing her lawsuit and behind closed doors a settlement conference is already in the works. Our source says this will never go to trial and that it will likely be gone from the news cycle by the summer, since neither wants their dirty laundry aired in public. From what we hear, both sides have enough dirty laundry to open a dry cleaners!

Ben Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner were spotted together at Disneyland without their current significant others to celebrate their son Samuel’s birthday, and it raised a few eyebrows. Here’s the scoop: Ben and  wife Jennifer Lopez and Garner and her main squeeze, John Miller, celebrated Samuel’s birthday TOGETHER with dinner and cake at Garner’s house after the Disney outing. Our source says all four adults have developed a friendship and there’s no hard feelings between Affleck and Garner. Ben is pals with John and the two Jennifers have developed a bond. This is co-parenting at its finest.

Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign the day after Super Tuesday, but what she did NOT do is endorse her fellow Republican Donald Trump. Here’s why: Nikki deplores Trump’s misogynistic ways and while she’s a fan of most of his policies, she finds him repulsive as a human being (and we use that term loosely). Here’s some inside scoop: Before Nikki caves to pressure and endorses Trump she has a top secret call scheduled with President Joe Biden. Our source says that Biden is prepared to offer Nikki a role in his cabinet, or her former UN position, if she endorses him instead!

THIS IS ALEC BALDWIN’S LIFE

How different Alec Baldwin’s life would be if he had never met his wife Hilaria. Alec had earned a reputation in Hollywood as being “difficult” to put it mildly. He argued with directors, made demands on the set, and attacked paparazzi. He’s been forced to go to anger management classes and a parenting course, before he could communicate with daughter Ireland. A contentious divorce from Kim Basinger and twitter battles enhanced his negative image. Eight years ago Hilaria came along and four babies later he is posing at Disneyland with the family and on good terms with Ireland again…(Ireland is with her musician boyfriend Corey Harper)

ANGELINA JOLIE: JUST ANOTHER DAY AT DISNEYLAND

Angelina Jolie and her six kids just returned from Namibia in Africa where they officially opened a wildlife sanctuary named after Shiloh, because she was born there. Angelina asked the twins Vivienne and Knox where they’d like to celebrate their 9th birthday and of course they chose their favorite place, Disneyland. Other visitors paid little attention to the famous family and their little entourage. This photo of the girls, Shiloh, 11, Zahara, 12, and Vivienne, was taken while the boys were on the roller coaster.

TOM HANKS HAS THE WALT DISNEY LOOK DOWN PAT

Walt Disney has always been one of our heroes, and who better to play him in a movie than Tom Hanks? That explains why Tom has been promoting “Cloud Atlas” with that peculiar mustache. “Saving Mr Banks” is the story of Walt’s 20 year pursuit of the film rights to author PL Travers’ (played by Emma Thompson) novel “Mary Poppins.” Disney’s daughters adored the book and he promised to turn it into a movie. He developed an interesting relationship with Travers through the years of negotiation. We look forward to seeing vintage Disneyland. (Above are some photos from scenes filmed at Disneyland.)

HOW WE ENDED UP WITH ART LINKLETTER’S MICKEY MOUSE EARS

#artlinkletter #waltdisney #janetcharlton

Art Linkletter’s widow Lois died recently, and last weekend we went to the Linkletter estate sale in Bel Air. We were very excited to see the amazing mid-century modern house the family lived in and ended up purchasing a few mementos. Art had a pair of Mickey Mouse ears in a glass case in his office that we pounced upon. (Only $5.00!) The estate manager said that Art probably got the ears from his good friend Walt Disney and that Art hosted all the opening events at the Disney theme parks. We found this great old photo from 1959 of the opening of the Monorail featuring Walt, Vice President Nixon and family, and Art in the bubble. Tomorrowland was our favorite place – that’s where we saw the 1960’s House of the Future that sparked our dream of owning such a house someday, and yes, we made it happen.

TYRA BANKS: WHAT SHE DID FOR LOVE

#tyrabanks #drake

Tyra Banks, 38, and rapper Drake, 25, were caught on camera by a sneaky fan at Disneyland where they playfully rode the rollercoaster and ate frozen yogurt together. Tyra split with her wall street mogul boyfriend John Utendahl, 51, in December after nearly four years together. She was SO in love with John that she uprooted her now defunct talk show and moved it to New York to be close to him. Naturally her staffers were distraught. John’s finances took a turn for the worse in 2010, but Tyra prospered with her production company. Now she’s just having some fun.
