JULIA LOUIS- DREYFUS HAS POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS

She’s played a vice president, and then a president on Veep, and now Julia Louis-Dreyfus is hoping that life imitates art. Julia is a staunch Democrat, donating money and time to the cause, and now she’s hoping to get in on the action and run for Senator. The Seinfeld star’s acting career has been slowing down and she loves the idea of a new chapter of her life beginning in Washington DC, where she spent much of her childhood. Julia has to figure out where to run FROM – even though she has residences in New York and California, she’s planning to relocate to a state like Florida, which currently has two Republican senators, so she can run against them as opposed to running in a state that’s a Democratic stronghold.

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.

KANYE WEST IS READY TO ENDORSE A CANDIDATE

Kayne West wants to join the party but no one will invite him – a political party that is! Kayne became the butt of jokes everywhere thanks to his ridiculous 2020 campaign for President, so this time around he’s offering up his endorsement -but no one wants it. The Biden campaign quickly declined the offer and even Donald Trump had enough common sense to pass up the chance to appear with Kayne and get his endorsement. My source says Kayne, who’s desperate to stay relevant, is now trying to woo spoiler candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, but hasn’t been able to connect with him. As my source puts it, Kayne is more interested in the publicity than he is the politics, which is why he offers up his services to everyone.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Christina Applegate just revealed that she has 30 lesions on her brain due to her courageous battle with MS. We just learned that Christina has turned to the Wahl Protocol Diet in hopes of alleviating her debilitating symptoms. The diet, developed by MS inflicted Dr. Terry Wahl, has proven to help many patients although it will take time to see if Christina benefits from the plan -which includes lots of leafy greens, lean meats and limited sweets and dairy.

A few days ago, Diddy’s multiple homes were raided by the Department of Homeland Security over allegations and sex trafficking and we are now hearing that his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez has been asked to sit for an interview! Both the FBI and Homeland Security are curious to find out what she may have seen when she and Diddy were a thing from 1999-2001. My source says that J.Lo is LIVID over being dragged into this mess, but nonetheless plans to cooperate since she doesn’t want to risk getting subpoenaed.

Carol Burnett is still making headlines at 90-years-old thanks to her turn on Palm Royale, the hot new series on Apple TV+. Carol has gotten rave reviews for her performance in the campy comedy/drama and now the folks at Saturday Night Live have noticed. Despite her illustrious comedic career, Carol has never hosted SNL. That could be about to change as we just heard that producers are trying to work with her schedule about hosting the still popular show as the end of this season or more likely early next season.

The world found out this week that pro footballer Aaron Rodgers won’t be RFK Jr.’s vice-presidential running mate, as Kennedy chose Bay Area mogul Nicole Shanahan as his pick. Here’s what we know: Aaron was actually asked before Nicole to join the ticket but he was never going to run with Kennedy because he has other political aspirations. As my source put it, he didn’t want to shoot his shot on this long-shot campaign but instead plans to run for Senator once he retires from football.

Beyoncé’s country album drops this week and here’s something you read here FIRST. Weeks ago we told you Beyonce was doing a duet with legend Dolly Parton and in the just released soundtracks it shows she’s covering Dolly’s popular sing Jolene. Our source says Dolly and Beyonce did a duet for the album and hoped to keep it a secret, which they did for everyone else BUT this website.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IS A POLITE POLITICIAN

Arnold Schwarzenegger isn’t letting politics come before good manners. Arnold is a regular at Gold’s Gym in Venice, California where his former cousin-in-law, RFK Jr. also works out, (They were related through marriage when Arnold was wed to Maria Shriver). According to our muscular gym source, the two men hit the gym at different times, and haven’t run into one another since Junior launched his independent run for the White House, which is UNPOPULAR with the Kennedy clan. It’s no secret that Arnie thinks RFK, Jr. is off his rocker with some of his farfetched political beliefs, but nonetheless our source says Arnold could not have been nicer when he ran into him during a recent workout. He gave him a big hug and they had a pleasant conversation.

NIKKI HALEY WILL NOT ALWAYS FORGIVE AND FORGET

Another juicy piece of DC gossip from our political insider that we couldn’t wait to share: They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Nikki Haley is scorned! As the then Governor of South Carolina Nikki appointed Tim Scott as a Senator when the seat became open. How did he thank her? By sucking up to her Republican opponent Donald Trump and endorsing him instead! Tim’s cringe-worthy drooling over Trump only got worse when Trump started badmouthing Nikki and Tim all but went along. My source says that if she doesn’t become the Republican nominee (and at this point it looks like a long shot) Nikki plans to run against Tim when his Senate term is up in 5 years. As my source puts it, Nikki will never forgive Tim. Of course, a lot could change between now and then, but Nikki is rightfully upset at Tim’s betrayal and wants revenge.

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN’S POLITICAL ASIRATIONS

Kourtney Kardashian is throwing her hat in the political ring and running for President… of her HOA. Kourtney owns a $12 million home in The Madison Club, a residential community just outside of Palm Springs, California. Even though she purchased it as a weekend retreat, Kourtney pays tens of thousands a year in HOA dues, so she wants to get more involved in how the place is run. An insider explains that Kourtney intends to start spending more time there now that she’s married to Travis Barker. The home is on a Tom Fazio designed golf course (Tom is a world renowned architect who specializes in golf courses) and Travis LOVES to golf so that’s why they’re planning to spend more family time there.

WE TOLD YA SO! TAYLOR SWIFT WILL INFLUENCE THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE

 

It only took a little over a month, but USA TODAY  (see link below) all but confirmed our Taylor Swift scoop. On December 17 we wrote about Taylor’s political influence, and now the nationwide daily paper confirmed what we already knew.  While they didn’t go as far as to say President Joe Biden was planning to have Taylor as a surrogate to get out the vote, you can all bet that’s EXACTLY what’s going to happen, guaranteed.

FRAN DRESCHER: CALIFORNIA’S NEXT GOVERNOR?

Fran Drescher has been bitten by the political bug. Fran is getting kudos from practically all of Hollywood for negotiating a record breaking billion dollar plus deal as the SAG-AFTRA union president, and now she’s aspiring to even bigger things – maybe as the Governor of California! Fran is a fan of California’s current governor Gavin Newsom, but he’s termed out in 2027 and she would LOVE to be his replacement. She’s riding high since negotiating the end of the Hollywood strike and now she’s being encouraged to run for governor. My source says that although Fran leans more Democratic, she’s a free thinker who was against vaccine mandates so she appeals to both the liberals and conservatives. She’s got my vote…

MEGHAN HAS POLITICAL ASPIRATIONS FOR PRINCE HARRY

Can you imagine Prince Harry as Governor of California?  WE can’t, but Meghan Markle can! Keep in mind California’s governor Gavin Newsom won’t be able to run for re-election in 2026 due to term limits. So the job will be up for grabs. Aspiring Meghan feels Harry has what it takes to make it in US politics. Although he could never become president (because he wasn’t born here) there’s nothing stopping him from running for other offices – once he officially becomes a US CITIZEN as opposed to a permanent resident. According to our source, Harry has already started the process to obtain DUAL citizenship. He’ll keep his UK passport, but also hold an American one. After he achieves THAT goal, Meghan intends to encourage his run for SOME SORT of political office…
