Regrets

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.

JULIAN LENNON: THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Julian Lennon is wallowing in regret. According to a friend, the 59-year-old son (can you believe it?) of the late Beatle John was delighted to make a nice profit when he recently sold his Hollywood Hills home. But no sooner had the ink dried on the escrow papers, than Julian decided he really MISSED his old home! He knew the buyer purchased the modern house as an investment and planned to lease it. Julian reached out to the new buyer and negotiated to lease it himself. He’s still looking for a new place to buy, but in the meantime he’s happy to be back home.

CAITLYN JENNER: WELL, IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA…

Caitlyn Jenner has been soundly denying that she regrets transitioning into a woman, but we thinks she doesn’t want to admit she has doubts. Kardashian biographer Ian Halperin brought up the idea of Caitlyn’s regret, and attributed much of it to religion. He observed that her religion doesn’t really approve of being GAY and Caitlyn is definitely still attracted to WOMEN. More important, we feel Caitlyn has come to the realization that being a 6’4” 65 year old woman is not thrilling – or easy. She has to slather on the makeup, wigs and eyelashes, not to mention foundation garments, just to leave the house. And – guess what- despite all that work, no one thinks she’s pretty or flirts with her. She WAS a far more attractive man. And the kind of women she likes are not interested in dating a woman who used to be a man. What’s a girl to do?

DIANE KEATON UNDERESTIMATED STEVE JOBS – AND LIVED TO REGRET IT

Let this be a lesson to young readers. Diane Keaton clarified her late 1970’s, potentially romantic encounter with Steve Jobs on Ellen, and we can all learn from her behavior. Diane told Ellen that she was living in New York and Steve Jobs moved into a three floor penthouse in the building complex. He let it be known that he wanted to meet the “Annie Hall” star, and although he was around 8 years younger, Diane paid him a visit in his apartment. She was overwhelmed by the fabulous penthouse, but underwhelmed by Jobs, who kept talking about computers and how everyone would have one in their home someday. Back in the 70’s this sounded improbable and Diane dismissed him as rather boring. She had no appreciation of his talent and very much REGRETS not recognizing his brilliance and cultivating at the least, a friendship. “I was an idiot!” (Above, Diane in “Annie Hall” in 1977)
