HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW (ABOUT POLITICS)

Dear Readers, while the election didn’t go our way, we’re sure the one thing most everyone can agree on is that we’re all thrilled it’s behind us. In that spirit we are posting a special political edition of our popular feature, Here’s What We Know. While it was hard to resist gossiping about the candidates, we will wrap up our political scoop with the following …

Our well placed source says one of the first calls Kamala Harris made when she knew she wasn’t moving into the White House was to a longtime realtor friend of hers in California. Kamala plans to hightail it out of Washington, DC and is looking for a new home back in California. She and her husband Doug already have a $5 million home in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, but now she’s looking for something in a gated community like Hidden Hills or Beverly Park.

Speaking of Kamala, while it’s too soon for her to decide her next step forward we just heard she’s already being wooed to run for Governor of California once Governor Newsom is termed out in a few years. We do know Kamala is NOT done with politics, so this could be her logical next step!

Former Vice President Mike Pence didn’t endorse his former running mate and it sounds like he’s scared stiff. We just heard that he beefed up his security now that Trump won the election. Former VP’s don’t get secret service protection once they’re no longer in office, so Pence hired his own private security for the time being – to prevent some extremist from doing anything crazy.

Cheryl Hines played the waiting game once her husband RFK Jr. endorsed Trump and was caught having an inappropriate relationship with another female. We heard her plan was to divorce Kennedy if Trump lost, but stick with him if he won. She hedged her bets and is now telling pals she’s planning to integrate herself in Washington DC and become a power player. She’s also a diehard Democrat so she hopes to influence Trump on certain issues now that her husband is buddy buddy with him. As my source put it, this is a case of keep your friends close and your ENEMIES closer.

As loyal readers will already know, Melania Trump previously informed her husband that she IS NOT moving back to Washington, DC but staying put in New York City. This poses a huge problem for her highbrow neighbors in Trump Tower where she lives in the penthouse, because once she’s the active First Lady again, she will be given MORE secret service. We heard through a source connected to the building, that more than a few residents are planning to move out so they won’t have to deal with the expected inconveniences.

And finally, in our last political gossip for the foreseen future, we heard that President Joe Biden is telling pals that the one silver lining of having Kamala lose is he is planning to issue a ton of presidential pardons – including for his son Hunter. If Kamala won, he didn’t want to tarnish her start by issuing pardons, but since that’s not an issue, you can expect the pardons to be fast and furious. He’s already getting bombarded with calls from cronies with suggestions on whom to pardon.

On that note readers, you can expect us to slow down on political chatter but continue to provide you with the best and most accurate HOLLYWOOD gossip because… That’s what we know!

WE TOLD YA SO!

Well, they didn’t give us credit, but Glamour magazine all but confirmed what WE told you months ago. See link below. Brittany Mahomes is going through a major style transformation and as we reported, it was her newfound pal and fellow WAG (wives and girlfriends of pro athletes) Taylor Swift, who helped her. Although Glamour didn’t confirm that Taylor was behind the startling makeover, our source was RIGHT again. From a new hairstyle to updated make up and tailored clothing, Brittany hardly resembles her old self – all thanks to Ms. Swift.

GUESS WHO TELLS MADONNA WHAT TO WEAR – AND SHE LISTENS! (AND HOW ABOUT THAT SUPERBOWL SHOW?)

As controlling and manipulative as Madonna is known to be, she DOES have someone she turns to for a fashion opinion before she leaves the house for special occasions: her 15 year old daughter Lourdes. Lourdes is very opinionated and a surprising source of inspiration for her mother. When Madonna dressed to attend the New York premier of W.E., Lourdes was aghast and told Madonna that no respectable director would wear a corset! Madonna immediately changed into something more elegant but still dramatic (above.) Madonna ALSO keeps tabs on the music Lourdes is listening to, and it influences her creative vision. We were blown away by Madonna’s amazing Superbowl performance – tomorrow she’ll announce her new tour and we bet it’ll sell out FAST – she proved than no matter what you think of her, SHE STILL HAS IT!
