CHERYL HINES TO HUBBY RFK JR : IT’S TRUMP OR ME!

Our discreet source just whispered this update into our ear: Cheryl Hines is willing to give her cheating husband, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., ONE last chance to save their marriage – but he’s going to have to agree to HER terms. According to my insider, Cheryl still loves her husband despite his countless flaws, but as we already told you, she’s ready to pull the plug on the marriage unless Bobby agrees to Cheryl’s latest demand – he needs to RETRACT his endorsement of Donald Trump and encourage his followers to vote for Kamala Harris! As my source explains it, Cheryl had a confrontation with Bobby, telling him she has already contacted a divorce attorney and was ready to file – BUT she gave him one last chance to prove to her that SHE is his priority, by doing what she asked. She gave him a few days to think it over, so unless something drastically changes, expect Kennedy to dump Trump or get served with divorce papers.

BRAD PITT AND JENNIFER ANISTON HAD A VERY CIVILIZED DIVORCE

Need more proof that there’s no bad blood between exes Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston? well then here you go: Brad recently introduced Jen to his current girlfriend, aspiring jewelry designer Ines de Ramon, and the gals hit it off so well that Jen has offered to help Ines get publicity for her jewelry line! It’s common knowledge that having a celebrity wear or endorse something is a huge deal, and let’s face it, Jen is on Hollywood’s A-list. She’s agreed to wear a few of the jewelry items from Ines’ label (she’s an executive and also designed a few pieces). And that’s not all, Jen also taught Ines how to make Brad’s favorite banana smoothie. My source says that Brad and Jen remain wonderful friends but neither has any interest in getting back together.

LEAH REMINI’S DIVORCE MIGHT NOT BE AS FRIENDLY AS SHE HOPED

After 21 years of marriage, Leah Remini’s divorce from estranged husband, Angelo Pagan, might not be as friendly as the couple originally proclaimed. It’s no surprise that Leah is the bigger breadwinner in the marriage, and she doesn’t seem to want to part with too much of her hard-earned cash in the divorce. Since the couple are no longer living together, Leah decided to get Angelo his own place, but a real estate source reveals that she’s looking for a modest two bedroom condo in the Los Angeles Valley, which is a far cry from the $10 million mansion they just sold in Studio City, California. My source says Angelo is starting to feel like he’s getting the short end of the stick and was expecting to end up in a house, not a condo, so the split MIGHT soon become contentious.

JENNIFER LOPEZ: IT’S A SMALL WORLD

If you don’t believe Hollywood is a very small place, your opinion might change after you read this item. Jennifer Lopez has been looking for a house to buy since she filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. She often brings her mother along (above) to look at homes with her. It so happens, one of the houses she’s interested in belongs to one of Ben’s ex-girlfriends, Gwyneth Paltrow! The Goop founder is selling her $30 million Brentwood estate since she moved to Montecito. And get this… Gwyneth’s house is just a few steps away from the home Ben is now renting. As we told you, Hollywood is a small place – so if J.Lo buys Gwen’s house, she’ll be neighbors with Ben.

THE GOLDEN BACHELOR IS GETTING MORE THAN A DIVORCE

The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and his newlywed bride turned ex-wife Theresa Nist just finalized their divorce after a whirlwind courtship ending in a televised wedding. The ill-fated breakup took place in long distance (he lives in Indiana and she in New Jersey) and even though their divorce is complete, my source reveals that Theresa is now trying to ANNUL the marriage. It’s a lengthy and more complicated process, but long story short, Theresa just wants to put the entire fiasco behind her. There’s likely more to THIS split than meets the eye…

BRAD AND ANGELINA: BOTH IN THERAPY

Their marriage has been over for years, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still in couples therapy. According to my inside source, Brad and Angie meet SEPARATELY with a family therapist near Santa Barbara to help them co-parent -especially with their youngest, 15-year-old twins, Vivienne and Knox. The divorced duo originally were ORDERED into therapy by the courts, but they both continued the sessions on their own after the initial court order expired. While legal issues from their divorce seem to multiply, they’re now both hoping to shield their youngest kids from the drama.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Alec Baldwin recently filed a motion to dismiss the charges he’s facing in the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, but here’s what we know. Behind closed doors Alec’s legal team is hoping to negotiate a plea deal involving no jail time, a clear record, community service and a HUGE donation. Alec is concerned that a jury found armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty in the case, so he’s secretly done a 180 and instructed his high-priced lawyers to make a deal!

Last Sunday Billie Eilish named dropped her former choir teacher, Mandy Bringham, when she won her second Oscar for Best Original Song for What Was I Made For, from the Barbie movie. Other media outlets tracked down the teacher but only WE will tell you that Billie personally reached out to Mandy days after the historic win, and the two are getting together in the near future. Our source says Billie plans to offer Mandy a job on her team as, what else, a vocal coach.

For reality TV fans, the buzz this week was the final reunion episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and the current state of OG star, Kyle Richard’s marriage to estranged husband Maurico Umansky. We can tell you this tidbit: Despite Kyle not revealing many deets on the reunion, our well placed source says that marriage is kaput and a very friendly divorce is being negotiated. If there’s any divorce drama it will only be manufactured for next season of RHOBH, but the soon-to-be exes have already decided who gets what and may plan to live together as friends for a bit until their youngest daughter Portia turns 18 in two years.

Meghan Markle made headlines when she debuted a new website which she eventually will use to hawk merchandise. Way back in November, we told you that Meghan and Harry were looking at wineries to sell their own wine and this latest venture goes along with that. Meghan hopes to be the next Martha Stewart and build an empire based around her kitchen skills, including her own wine as well as olive oils, jams, cookbooks, etc. Our source adds this tidbit you will only read here – Meghan’s Montecito neighbor and good pal Oprah Winfrey is an angel investor in the project.

DONALD TRUMP WANTS MARLA MAPLES TO SUPPORT HIS CAMPAIGN

We were the FIRST to tell you Melania Trump renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with her husband Donald and now we will be the FIRST to tell you that Donald’s ex-wife Marla Maples is renegotiating their divorce settlement. Last June we reported that Donald was trying to get Marla to join him on the campaign trail, hoping to give the appearance that’s he’s not a misogynistic serial cheater. Well Donald might get his wish because as part of their divorce settlement Marla agreed to a strict NDA, so she used that as an excuse not to say anything (good or bad) about him in public. Donald’s agreed to cancel the NDA and renegotiate her somewhat measly settlement. (measly since he claims to be a billionaire) Talks are happening now and if they come to terms, expect to see Marla gushing over Donald in the coming months.

MELANIA TRUMP LOST HER SUPPORT SYSTEM

Some well-placed insiders say they will NOT be surprised if Melania Trump divorces her cheating husband, Donald Trump, now that her mother Amalija Knavs has passed away. Amalija was more than a mom to Melania – she was her best friend and confidant. According to the source, it was Amalija who advised Melania to make her marriage to Donald work whenever problems arose. (like his alleged extramarital affair with a pornstar) Now that Amalija is gone, these insiders predict Melania won’t have her live-in support system, and she could easily decide to ditch Donald and love the rest of her life without his seemingly never-ending baggage. Time will tell…

CHRIS APPLETON LEARNED HIS LESSON: PRE-NUP IS NOT ENOUGH

We were the first to tell you about Chris Appleton and Lukas Gage having marital problems, and now that they’re officially splitting up, we will be the first to tell you the break up might not be as clean as Chris expected. Although they have a prenuptial agreement already in place, one thing that it doesn’t cover is an NDA. Chris does a lot of celebrity hair, with Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez being two of his biggest clients. Lukas hung out with almost all of Chris’s celebrity clients, so now Chris wants to make sure their secrets are safe. My source says that Chris plans on being nice and generous in the split if Lukas signs a non-disclosure agreement covering all of Chris’ celebrity clients as part of a compensation package. It seems Lukas can be somewhat of a loose cannon, and Chris doesn’t want to risk alienating any of his A-list friends and clients, so THAT’S why he’s willing to part with more cash.
