Donald Trump

WE TOLD YA SO!

On June 16 we had the exclusive scoop that Donald Trump was staying in Chicago and NOT in Milwaukee during the upcoming Republican National Convention. Two days later, none other than ABC NEWS confirmed our scoop from MULTIPLE SOURCES! (See link below) Unlike ABC NEWS, we didn’t need multiple sources since our source is THAT good. Once ABC reported on our scoop, the Trump campaign was quick to deny it because they realized the optics looked terrible. Our source says that persnickety Donald is scheming for a way to get out of spending any nights in Milwaukee but if he is forced to, he plans on bringing his own linens and pillows to the less than 5-star hotels the city offers.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR DONALD TRUMP

Donald Trump didn’t do himself any favors when he called Milwaukee, Wisconsin a horrible city during a closed door session with GOP lawmakers in Washington DC, but judging from what we just heard it might just be the first time he was voicing his HONEST opinion. Donald is expected to be named the Republican presidential candidate during the convention in Milwaukee being held from July 15-18. Although he will be a BIG presence there, my source reveals that he and his family will actually be staying 90 miles away in Chicago, Illinois and hop on his private jet to Milwaukee when it’s time to take the stage! The reason? Middle-class Milwaukee, while a lovely city, doesn’t have any five star hotels, and snobbish Donald refuses to stay in a modest hotel. Nearby Chicago has many more luxury hotel options. My source reveals that the EXCUSE will be that none of the hotels in Milwaukee can properly provide the security needed for the former president. But the REAL reason is – he thinks the city is a dump.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Celine Dion made headlines with her sit down interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb where she revealed intimate and painful details about her battle with Stiff Person Syndrome. Here’s what we know. The interview was Celine’s way of testing the water to see the public interest and reaction and it was SO positive that she’s forging ahead with plans to star in a reality show. The details are still being worked out, but it’s likely to appear on Bravo.

We continue to get updates on Leah Remini’s attempt to sell her Studio City, California home. After a number sales fell out of escrow, we are happy to share that Leah finally accepted a close-to-asking offer on her property. The buyers seemingly don’t have any connection to Scientology, so Leah is confident that this time the sale will go through.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s baby storyline was featured in this week’s episode of their Hulu series, The Kardashians. Here’s a tidbit you won’t see on the show. After a difficult pregnancy with their infant son, Rocky, Travis and Kourtney are secretly turning to surrogacy in hopes of having a daughter. It’s hush hush, but my source says the second baby could already be on the way!

Donald Trump continues to make headlines- most recently because a producer on his former show, The Apprentice, revealed that during season one, Donald dropped the N-word about finalist, Kwame Jackson. Here’s what I just heard… there’s top secret speculation that the incident was caught on tape, but the only way it could be released is if there was a legal court order. This is where it gets juicy – behind closed doors some are encouraging Kwame to SUE for discrimination, and if the tape is located, a judge could decide whether or not to make it public.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marital status continues to dominate the news cycle. One minute they’re wearing their wedding rings, and the next they’re not. In addition to our previous updates we just heard this: Jennifer’s mom, Guadalupe Rodriguez, is acting as Jennifer’s marriage counselor and SHE was the one who persuaded J.Lo to cancel her summer tour to focus on her marriage. Guadalupe and Ben share a special connection (they bonded over their love of gambling!) so even when Jen isn’t around Guadalupe and Ben have been spending time together. As my source puts it, if anyone can save this marriage it’s Guadalupe.

OPRAH AND DR PHIL ARE NOT AS CLOSE AS YOU THINK

Here’s an interesting piece of the puzzle of a previous item. Back in February 2023 we told you that Dr. Phil was planning to run for Senate and that his political leanings were opposite of his mentor Oprah Winfrey. Well Phil’s ambitious plans have taken an interesting turn. His recent interview with Donald Trump made him somewhat of a laughingstock, when with a straight face, he described the notoriously fragile Trump as having thick skin and not caring what people thought of him. (NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH) My source says that kissing up to Trump and his devoted MAGA followers is part of Phil’s plan to get into politics. Here’s the scoop – Phil was secretly a candidate to be Trump’s VP pick, but is now hoping to land a position in his cabinet if he’s elected.

DONALD TRUMP’S MOST LIKELY RUNNING MATE

Remember where you read this. Donald Trump has narrowed down his search for his vice-presidential running mate. Although there are still a few candidates in the running, my very well-placed source says the front runner by far is North Dakota Governor and former presidential candidate Doug Burgum. As my source explains it, Doug checks all of the boxes that truly matter to Trump: he’s wealthy and has an attractive blonde wife! Although the other candidates – like Florida Senator Marco Rubio, are still in the running, Doug is also a Trump favorite because he’s never really badmouthed the former president. The reason Trump won’t pick Marco Rubio is because there are countless videotaped interviews of Marco saying terrible things about Trump. Keep in mind, Doug still needs to be thoroughly vetted, but unless something unexpected comes up you can all but guarantee he’ll be Trump’s running mate.

DONALD TRUMP IS ASKING FOR HELP

It’s no surprise that now convicted felon Donald Trump is grifting after being found GUILTY on all 34 criminal counts – Donald’s sending fundraising emails nonstop to his supporters asking for what else, MONEY! What IS surprising though is that my source reveals Donald is actually TERRIFIED of going to prison and he’s already asking his friends and family members to write letters to the judge singing his praises. Although it is quite common for convicted criminals to ask their loved ones to write letters to the judge (you might remember Ashton Kutcher took a lot of heat when he wrote one on behalf of his pal, convicted rapist Danny Masterson) Trump really wants his daughter Ivanka and his wife Melania to submit letters to the judge, but so far NEITHER has agreed. As my source puts it, Ivanka loves her dad but doesn’t want to get involved, while Melania doesn’t seem to care what happens to her husband. (remember this is a transactional marriage)

DONALD TRUMP DODGED A BULLET

The prosecution and the defense have rested and the jury could decide any day if Donald Trump is guilty or innocent, but whatever the outcome, Donald’s biggest FEAR never came to fruition. According to a well placed source, Donald was TERRIFIED that his alleged mistress Stormy Daniels would reveal his personal shortcomings. (for decades his Achilles Heel is when his hands are described as “diminutive”) Although Stormy dropped some bombshells, including surprise! surprise! – the sex was awful, she never did get the chance to describe his manhood, and THAT seemed to be what Trump was the most worried about. Remember this is a man who EXAGGERATES EVERYTHING from the size of his crowds at rallies to his wealth, so we see why he didn’t want his family jewels to be discussed.

HERE’S MORE OF WHAT WE KNOW

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez dominated the headlines this week as rumors swirl that their marriage is dunzo.  Here’s what we know.  The couple are going through a rough patch,mostly due to their different spending habits.  SHE likes like live large, but he’s more frugal and finds her excessive spending a turn-off.  In J. Lo’s defense, she is worth more than Ben, so she understandably finds it insulting that he would tell her how to spend HER money. My source says the one thing the both of them have in common is they’re quick to react, BUT do love one another, so while anything is possible, it’s most likely their marriage will stay intact, considering they are in counseling.

Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker didn’t win any female or gay fans this week thanks to a commencement address where he basically voiced his controversial opinions against the LGTBQ community and women’s rights.  Making it worse he quoted Taylor Swift in the address, referring to her as his teammate Travis Kelce’s girlfriend.  Here’s what we know.  Taylor was PISSED that he dared say her name in such a hate filled speech and she told Travis under no circumstances will she ever be photographed anywhere near him.  She also made it be known to the powers that be on the team that she doesn’t feel comfortable publicly supporting the team if it has a misogynistic homophobe in its ranks.  My NFL source predicts Harrison will be traded, but the question is, who will want him?

Justin and Hailey Bieber made headlines when they announced they’re expecting their first child together. They kept the news a secret from family and closest friends, but now we’re hearing that Justin has been taking parenting classes with a therapist who visits his home three times a week to help him cope with the demands of being a first time dad. My source says he’s determined to do everything RIGHT and get his unpredictable mood swings under control before the baby arrives.

The Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like That recently started filming its third season in New York City and we can tell you that Kim Cattrall will definitely appear again in another cameo and this time she will share the screen with a cast member -but it won’t be Sarah Jessica Parker.  We are hearing that Kim’s character Samantha Jones is living in Europe and will be visited by one of the cast, and the scene will take place there.  Producers haven’t decided if it’s going to be Cynthia Nixon or Kristen Davis, but it’s going to happen.

And as usual, what’s a week without a piece of Donald Trump gossip! Donald’s youngest son, Barron made headlines when he was announced to be a delegate at the upcoming Republican national convention, only to have his mom Melania publicly decline the invitation the next day, citing a “scheduling conflict.” This makes no sense, since Barron would be expected to be at the convention when his father is nominated to be president, anyway.  We heard that Donald actually gave the okay to announce Barron as a delegate, but Melania immediately nixed it. My well-placed source says that it was a screaming match unlike any other, as Melania threatened to boycott the convention herself if Donald forced the issue of having Barron as a delegate. Needless to say she won.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Dear Readers,
We’re doing our best not to deprive you of the best Hollywood gossip, but just like some of the celebrities you read about here, our website is still acting up!  For the time being we are forced to post items without photos, but rest assured we’re working diligently to resolve this and those loading issues. We appreciate your patience and understanding.  Please stick with us.!

 

Surprise! surprise! another week and another Donald Trump update. The disgraced former president in a criminal trial in New York City made headlines again for violating a gag order with his unhinged outburst outside of the courthouse and on social media. I am hearing that his attorneys are encouraging him to avoid his beloved Diet Coke during the trial because the extra caffeine tends to agitate him. He’s being encouraged to drink non-caffeinated herbal tea instead – which might explain why he apparently keeps falling asleep during the proceedings.

Prince Harry made headlines this week, not for something he did but for something he didn’t do – visit England and NOT see his father, King Charles, or his brother Prince William.  We’re hearing that although Harry didn’t get a chance to see his dad and brother, he sent them both food baskets from Harvey Nichols, an upscale store in London. The baskets contained some of the royal family‘s favorite jams and jellies which are exclusive to the store. My source says Harry was devastated that his family didn’t see him, so he sent the baskets as an olive branch.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard made headlines as during her trip to LA for a cute TikTok video, where she was shocked at the prices at Erewhon, and upscale grocery store chain. Gypsy was in town to promote her show with Lifetime, but we’re hearing that she fell in love with Hollywood, and she’s trying to move here if she can get her probation figured out. My source says she’s hoping to continue working in the entertainment industry, perhaps hosting a talk show.

Real Housewife of New Jersey Teresa Giudice ran into Taylor Swift at Coachella a few weeks back, and their selfie is still making headlines. What ISN’T making headlines though is what we are hearing. After the infamous selfie, Teresa reached out to Taylor with a DM on Instagram, and all but begged her to make even the briefest appearance on the popular Housewives reality show. While it’s a long-shot, we are hearing Taylor, while not a loyal fan, might consider it just for the shock value!

Finally, the Met Gala was one of the biggest stories of last week, and the general consensus was that this year was a bore-fest.  A shortage of truly creative outfits and  we were appalled by the guests BRAGGING about how MUCH money and HOURS of work were spent (wasted?) on frivolous dresses to be worn for that ONE event. Here’s one interesting tidbit we heard and wanted to share: Kim Kardashian had a bad hair day and she had no one to blame but herself. Despite her hairdresser telling her NOT to, Kim INSISTED on going platinum blonde for the Gala but her hair turned out over- processed and riddled with flyaways and split ends. Kim was unhappy with her less than perfect appearance, but she realized it was HER fault and told her friends next time she’ll listen to her hairstylist Chris Appleton.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

The Met Gala is Monday, May 6 and we just heard this EXCLUSIVE tidbit. We previously reported Kim Kardashian was wearing Balenciaga to the event which makes sense since she IS the brand’s ambassador. Well Kim pulled a fast one and decided she wanted to go in a different direction so she scrapped her original outfit and is now wearing something else and not Balenciaga. Remember where you read this, as it should send waves through the fashion world since since Kim and Balenciaga are in business together and everyone expects her to wear the label on fashion’s biggest night.

President Joe Biden made news this week when he revealed he would be willing to debate Donald Trump in their race for the White House. Here’s what we just heard. This presidential debate might be unlike any other in the our nation’s history as the plan is for Biden and Trump to each choose one moderator to ask the questions with NOTHING off-limits. While countless details still need to be worked out, including the date and location, expect a debate unlike any other. My source says Trump has yet to agree to this arrangement since he’s terrified of answering questions from the seemingly liberal moderator the Biden campaign will likely select.

Justin Bieber made headlines after posting selfies of him crying and then he was spotted hanging out in Kauai, Hawaii. Here’s what we know. Justin is blaming a lot of his emotional issues on the pressures and temptations of living in Los Angeles, so he and his wife Hailey Bieber flew to Hawaii to look at homes. They’re planning to unload their sprawling Beverly Park estate, put down roots in Hawaii, and then buy a pied a terre in Los Angeles when they need to be in town for work. They love the island of Kauai, but also are looking at Maui and the Big Island.

Britney Spears made headlines as well- for numerous reasons including fears about her financial situation, settling her lawsuit with her father, and finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Sam Asghari. We know this… Britney’s mom Lynne is more involved behind the scenes than she’s letting on, and while she’s not micromanaging Britney or her finances, she is monitoring the situation and has safety nets in place just in case Britney spirals out of control. My source says that this time around if the consensus is that Britney needs a conservatorship it will be Lynne who is in charge.

And finally this. Travis Kelce inked a two-year deal with his team the Kansas City Chiefs making him the HIGHEST paid tight end in the NFL. While his $34.25 million contract is already public knowledge, here’s something we know that hasn’t been publicized. The deal also includes a secret bonus of $100,000 per regular season game, $250,000 for playoff games and a whopping $500,000 for the Super Bowl if his girlfriend (and likely soon-to-be fiance) Taylor Swift attends. My source say that Taylor’s presence at games brings in MILLIONS in additional revenue so that’s why Travis is getting the bonuses when she attends.
