COURTENEY AND JENNIFER: STILL THE BEST OF FRIENDS

We often wrote about Friends stars Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston hanging out together after filming each weeks episode of Friends back in the day. Their friendship was surprising because they didn’t seem to have a lot in common besides the show. The pair frequented a Mexican restaurant in West Hollywood that we liked also, and we often saw them eating and drinking there. That’s when we noticed there is a big difference between the two. This happened every time: When they left and went to get into their separate cars, Courteney always rushed past fans and photographers, kept her head down, didn’t speak to anyone, and sped away. Jennifer stopped to greet everyone waiting outside and patiently signed autographs for all. It took her a bit longer to get home, but it did illustrate a big difference between the friends.

BRAD AND JEN ARE ACTUALLY FRIENDS

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 a celebrity endorsement is good for business, 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 (Ines is an executive and also designed a few pieces.) That’s not all, Jen 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. We love this news because it illustrates what a decent person Jennifer actually is…

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.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Travis Kelce and his brother Jason made headlines this week with their $100 million podcast deal with Amazon, but we just heard, however, that their payday will substantially INCREASE if they persuade Travis’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, to appear on the show. No surprise there. Taylor’s presence at NFL games last season pulled in tons of new viewers, and the thinking behind the bonus incentive is that Taylor can do the same for the podcast.

Justin Theroux was talked about this week when we heard about his engagement to actress Nicole Bloom. We know this: Before Justin and Nicole announced their engagement, he reached out to his former wife, Jennifer Aniston, and broke the news to her himself. According to my well placed source, Justin and Jen remain good friends even though their marriage didn’t last, and that’s why he gave her the heads up. She is genuinely happy that he’s found someone to share his life with, so don’t fall for the soon-to-be tabloid stories claiming she’s distraught. She’s not!

This week Armie Hammer was all over the news when he revealed he was selling his beloved truck because he couldn’t afford the gas. Loyal readers will remember we were the first to report about his financial struggles. We just heard this interesting update: Now that Armie has a regular car, he’s planning to make some money as an Uber driver! As shocking as that sounds, remember, Armie previously held a job selling timeshares. According to my source, Arnie’s incredibly wealthy family isn’t helping him, so he’s determined to prove to them, and to the world, that he doesn’t need their financial support.

Who is surprised that narcissistic Donald Trump was in the news yet again for more bad behavior? This time Donald made headlines for his inappropriate conduct at Arlington National Cemetery where he turned a solemn moment into a manufactured political stunt. Donald may not be too happy to find out what we just heard. One of the families of the soldiers buried there is gearing up to sue him and his campaign for the unauthorized photography of the grave. That is strictly for prohibited by national law.

In unpleasant news, Dancing With The Stars regular Artem Chigvintsev made headlines when he was arrested and charged with domestic violence and spousal abuse. Not a fun subject to gossip about, but nonetheless here’s what we know. The argument between Artem and his wife (and assumed victim) Nikki Garcia aka Nikki Bella that started the incident was over an infidelity. Our source didn’t know who accused who of cheating, but that was rumored to be what caused the situation to escalate and reportedly get physical.

And finally our gal Kamala Harris made the news for making news! She granted her first interview since becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate to CNN and we just heard this. She’s lining up more sit-downs with other networks, including the conservative FOX News. Expect to see her upcoming interviews after the September presidential debate.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Another whirlwind political week with the news that President Joe Biden was ending his campaign and all but anointed his successor, Vice President Kamala Harris. We are hearing that Hollywood was starting to abandon Joe after that scathing op-ed by George Clooney, but is now gearing up for the biggest star studded fundraiser EVER, to boost Kamala’s financial war chest. The details are still being sorted out, but according to my source it’s going to rival with Academy Awards with A-listers willing to contribute a minimum of $100,000 for an invite. We will share more details as we hear them.

Speaking of Joe Biden, now that he’s bowing out of the race and set to retire in January once his presidency is over, we just heard he’s planning a major change. Although Joe has called Delaware his home for most of his life, he wants to be closer to his California based son Hunter, so he’s already working with a top LA based realtor looking at suitable homes in the LA area. My source says that he wants to be on or near a beach and security is one of the concerns so he’s looking at gated waterfront properties from Orange County up through Santa Barbara.

Jennifer Aniston made headlines after she took to social media in a heartfelt post about women who can’t bear children after misogynistic comments from vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently resurfaced. Just heard from a well placed source that Jen, who usually stays away from the nastiness of politics, is now going all in for Kamala Harris and will soon appear alongside her at a political rally focusing on women’s reproductive rights.

Speaking of JD Vance, there are some rumblings that Donald Trump regrets listing to his son, Don Junior, who was pushing for Vance to be selected as the running mate. Our spot-on political source reports that there’s a plan being talked about to have Vance bow out of the campaign and claim a personal family matter is the reason. My source insists that Trump completely regrets choosing Vance, but if he decides not to replace him, you can expect to hear a lot less of JD on the campaign trial. As my source put it, Trump didn’t trust his instincts and was swayed by his son and now has serious second thoughts.

Enough politics -back to entertainment. Celine Dion made headlines for two things – performing at the Olympics and signing up for a residency at Resorts World in Las Vegas. What DIDN’T come out though, is what we just heard. She’s also recording a new album which will drop around the same time she kicks off her residency in Sin City.

And finally, as we exclusively reported, Leah Remini finally sold her Studio City, California home and we just heard she’s now looking for a new home in the LA Valley, but wants one in a guard gated community. Our source explains that Leah is still be hounded by her former pals in Scientology so that’s why she’s hypersensitive to make sure her new home has ample armed security guards.

BRAD PITT IS GETTING RELATIONSHIP ADVICE FROM JENNIFER ANISTON

Brad Pitt has turned to a familiar face as he deals with the never ending repercussions from his split from Angelina Jolie. As we previously reported, Brad and Angie’s oldest biological child, Shiloh, recently filed legal papers to drop Pitt from her previously hyphenated last name and just go by Jolie. The move, and Shiloh’s threat to spill more dirt on Brad, has shaken him and he’s been reaching out to his other ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, for advice and comfort. My source reveals Brad’s current girlfriend, Ines De Ramon, is getting uncomfortable with how close Brad and Jen have seem to have become. While their rekindled relationship is still firmly in the friend zone, Ines is griping to pals that she wishes Brad would turn to HER for guidance as he navigates this situation, but instead it’s Jen who seems to have his ear.

FRIENDS CAST IS COMMITTED TO UBER

 

Here’s an interesting gossip update.  Back in November we told you that the cast of Friends were secretly uniting for a Super Bowl ad, but the idea got scrapped after the unexpected passing of Matthew Perry.   The ad agency still liked the idea of a reunion commercial, but felt it would be too sad if the remaining cast were  all featured without Matthew. After much brainstorming, they decided to tweak the reunion idea and only feature two of the remaining Friends cast – Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer.  The concept got green-lit for an Uber Eats commercial  and our source says expect to see the other three remaining Friends in a future Uber spot, most likely to air this spring.

JENNIFER ANISTON AND COURTENEY COX WANT TO BUY MATTHEW PERRY’S HOUSE

Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox are teaming up to buy the $6 million home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles where their Friends costar, Matthew Perry died. According to an insider, the gals  know that Matthew loved the house and don’t want it turned into an Airbnb for morbid looky-loos, because Matthew drowned in the pool. Since money is no object, they’re hoping to purchase the house,  redo the pool and  refurbish the outside.  Both girls have made renovating homes their side hustle, so this could be a lucrative project – they plan to donate any profits to the foundation in Matthew’s name. Since pulling permits from the city can be cumbersome, Jen and Courteney are trying to buy the home from Matthew’s estate ASAP so they can start the process. Smart move – the home has already been added to one of those celebrity bus tours and tourists have been seen snapping photos of the property.

MATTHEW PERRY’S DEATH CAUSED JENNIFER ANISTON TO RETHINK HER LIFE

Just a few years ago, Jennifer Aniston revealed she had NO plans anytime soon to write her memoir, but Matthew Perry’s unexpected death has made Jen rethink this. Jen is obviously devastated and still in shock over the loss of her Friends costar, but she’s found some comfort in knowing Matthew was able to share his story – including his struggles with addictions – with the world before passing. According to a friend, Jen has had a change of heart at writing her own story so she’s quietly working on a manuscript. From her challenging relationship with her mom, to her time on Friends, and of course her failed marriage to Brad Pitt, Jen is ready to tell her story. My source says that well-mannered Jen won’t throw anyone under the bus, and is already reaching out to get permission from anyone she plans to mention.

WHY MATTHEW PERRY’S COSTARS ON FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SILENT

Countless celebrities have taken to social media to memorialize Matthew Perry after his unexpected death at 54 on October 28. His 5 Friends costars, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer have remained silent. According to my source the tight knit group is debating whether to issue a joint statement or individual ones. My source says that the group wants to schedule their statements so they are released at the same time. It’s likely to be the SAME statement but they’re all in such a state of shock and mourning that they’re changing their plans by the moment. My source expects something will be released today…
