Taylor Swift

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

By the time you read this, Robert F Kennedy Jr. may have already ended his laughable presidential campaign and endorsed Donald Trump. However, we heard that it just might be too much for his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. While Cheryl stood by her man during his never gonna win campaign, she isn’t a fan of Trump and realizes her standing in Hollywood will be jeopardized if her husband endorses him. According to my source, there’s only so much Cheryl can stomach, and she’s been pleading with her husband NOT to endorse Trump. If he does though, my source predicts their marriage will suffer.

Jennifer Lopez made the news with her surprise filing for divorce, catching Ben Affleck and the rest of the world off guard. Their marriage is now seemingly kaput, but Jennifer still plans on buying a house with enough bedrooms for her twins and Ben’s three kids. The children have formed quite the bond with one insider is comparing it to the Brady Bunch. We hear that Jen intends to keep that family unit together even once she’s officially divorced from Ben.

Speaking of Jennifer Lopez, we also heard that IF the marital house that she shared with Ben Affleck sells before she buys a new place, she has an open invitation to stay with Ben’s other ex-wife, Jennifer Garner! The Jens became friends over the past few years (we can only IMAGINE them gossiping about how challenging it was to be married to Ben) and as we all now know their kids are all very close. Jen G. has more than enough room for J.Lo and the twins so don’t be surprised if they wind up as temporary roomies.

Of course the biggest news was the Democratic National Convention, with Vice President Kamala Harris accepting her party’s nomination for President! (We couldn’t be more DELIGHTED at the prospect of her in the White House), but politics aside, we just heard that while she didn’t endorse her at the convention, Taylor Swift is gearing up for a big splashy endorsement video and social media blitz. Taylor and her handlers were livid that Donald Trump posted something on his faltering truth social that claimed Taylor had endorsed him. The AI generated post was the final straw for Taylor and now she’s getting ready to go big for Kamala.

Finally, President Joe Biden was the hero who saved democracy by abandoning his campaign and handing the reigns over to Kamala. Biden hightailed it out of the DNC hours after his riveting speech, and headed to Montecito, California for a vacation. We heard though that it wasn’t all rest and relaxation. Loyal readers will remember WE TOLD YA that Biden planned on relocating to California once his Presidency was over, and during his time in Montecito he privately toured a few available homes. According to our source, a Democratic billionaire donor is planning to buy the property and let Biden and Jill have the exclusive rights to it until they both pass away.

DON’T MESS WITH TRAVIS KELCE

Apparently there’s a downside to dating Taylor Swift – it’s EXPENSIVE. Just ask Travis Kelce. Ever since Taylor and Travis went public with their romance, he’s been living large to keep up with her costly lifestyle. As unexpected as it sounds, the pro footballer, who’s over 220 pounds of solid muscle, recently told a friend that one of his biggest expenses since dating Taylor has been for additional security. Although he’s a lean, mean fighting machine on the football field, Travis now travels with discreet bodyguards. These guards are always careful to stay OUT of the photographer’s frame to protect his macho image. According to my source, Travis was initially AGAINST the idea, but Taylor insisted and now he’s tailed by professional bodyguards when he’s in public.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW…

Desperate times call for desperate measures, just ask Donald Trump. We just heard that Donald is freaking out now that Kamala Harris and not President Joe Biden is who he’s running against. Reports just circulated that Trump is looking for black surrogates to take to the airwaves and sing his praises. He’s SO desperate that he even reached out to his former friend, Kanye West, and asked the troubled rapper if he would appear on his behalf. Kayne hasn’t agreed yet, but my source says the attention seeking Kanye will likely do it just to stay in the limelight.

Record-breaking gold Olympic medalist, Simone Biles has big plans once she retires from gymnastics. We just heard that Simone is set to host her own sports related talk show on ESPN and none other than her pal Magic Johnson will be producing! Details are just trickling out, but expect to see Simone’s show in 2025.

It was just announced that Britney Spears inked a deal with Universal Studios to turn her autobiography, The Woman In Me, into a big screen movie. As we previously reported, Britney also wants to turn it into a Broadway musical. We just heard that as part of her seven figure deal Britney has the right to not only approve casting of the movie, but also to launch the musical. A worldwide search is underway for an undiscovered singer with real chops who can portray Britney.

In sad news this week, Taylor Swift was devastated that three innocent girls were stabbed to death in the UK at a dance studio featuring her music. Taylor does not want any publicity for this, but we just heard that she is picking up the tab for all of the funeral arrangements and anonymously made huge contributions to the Go Fund Me pages launched to help the victims’ families.

Jennifer Aniston was photographed this week filming her popular series, The Morning Show. Photographers caught Jen filming one scene where she was splattered in oil and another where she’s having a breakdown. We just heard that Jen has a big surprise for viewers. She persuaded her ex-husband and still good friend Brad Pitt to appear in upcoming episode. Brad hasn’t filmed his spot yet, but it will likely air later in the year or even as the season finale.

Finally, the biggest news of the week is who will current Vice President Kamala Harris pick for her own vice presidential running mate. While our secret political source has a few theories, we do know is that Kamala just filmed various television commercials touting her choice. She was proactive enough to film different variations of the commercial featuring the top three contenders for her running mate. No one knows who she’s going to pick, but Kamala wanted to be ready to blast the airwaves with television commercials once she makes her choice. For what it’s worth, my political source says Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona seems to be the front runner but Pennsylvania’s Governor Josh Shapiro is a very close second.

KAMALA HARRIS HAS A SECRET STRATEGY

As Democrats quickly line up to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for president, the world’s biggest and arguably most influential endorsement is being drafted. Behind very very very closed doors, talks are underway to incorporate megastar Taylor Swift into Kamala’s campaign. Taylor isn’t set to wrap up her European tour until early October and once she returns to the United States the plan is for her to issue an endorsement of Kamala and appear alongside her at a rally. Keep in mind this is very inside information and subject to change as Taylor might announce her endorsement much sooner than October, but for now THAT’S the plan.

TAYLOR AND TRAVIS HAVE NFL PLANS

Remember where you read this, because it won’t happen until Travis Kelce retires from professional football. My well placed source reveals that Travis’ long term plan is to play for the Kansas City Chiefs a few more years and then, of course, focus on a career in Hollywood. But that’s only half the story. Travis’s dream is to become a part owner of an NFL team and since his expected future-wife, Taylor Swift, is a multi-billionaire, they’ve already agreed to make that goal a part of their future. As my source puts it, Taylor’s 10-year plan is to get married, have a few kids and then retire from performing, so co-owning an NFL team with her husband fits perfectly into her plan.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Travis Kelce blabbed on his weekly podcast that it was HIS idea to join girlfriend Taylor Swift onstage during one of her recent European concerts, but we just heard what he DIDN’T reveal. Travis also came up with the idea of appearing in one of Taylor’s upcoming music videos for her latest album and my source says that some of it has already been filmed. Unlike most of Taylor’s last lovers (who’ve preferred to keep things on the down low) Travis loves the spotlight and enjoys having their romance out in the open.

Julia Roberts and her husband Danny Moder celebrated their 22nd wedding anniversary on July 4 with an Instagram post but I’m hearing that the couple ( who many predicted wouldn’t last) also have a secret Independence Day tradition where they renew their wedding vows to one another in private. The notoriously private couple stunned their friends and family 22 years ago when they got married during a July 4 celebration and Julia confided to a pal that they’ve repeated their wedding vow tradition almost every year (a few times they were apart working so they did it on a different date).

Desperate to save his faltering presidential campaign, Joe Biden is on an interview tour as we exclusively reported. Now we are hearing that in addition to the tour, Biden is prepared to take a cognitive test and release the results regardless of how they turn out. My political source says that at this point the president is willing to try almost anything to prove to the American people that he’s capable of being president and not mentally challenged.

On the other hand we are also hearing that his presumptive Republican challenger Donald Trump is TERRIFIED that Biden will be replaced and he’ll have to run against someone younger. My source says that Donald thoroughly enjoys painting Biden as old and feeble, but he’s worried he will be the one looking frail against a younger Democratic candidate. Get this: He’s even started using his wife Melania’s skin serum and emulsion that she orders from a top plastic surgeon every month. Donald is suddenly taking his appearance seriously. In addition to the fancy potions he’s also updating his wardrobe in hopes of appearing younger than 78!

Finally, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made headlines for spending the holiday weekend on different coasts, but still wearing their wedding rings! For a couple seemingly on the verge of divorce, it’s odd that their rings are back on. Here’s what we know. Their marriage is rife with problems, including their different lifestyles (she loves the limelight and loves to live large, while he’s private and parsimonious). The only things they seem to have in common is incredible sexual chemistry and a true love and respect for one another. So for now, they’re not throwing in the towel, but are hoping to work out some sort of arrangement to stay married but live apart. As for the rings, we heard it was a calculated move to show the public they’re still working on their union.

TAYLOR SWIFT ROLLS OUT THE RED CARPET FOR THE ROYALS

Taylor Swift’s London concerts were the place to be as everyone from Tom Cruise, Travis Kelce and Prince William with his two oldest children showed up. Williams’s wife, Kate Middleton couldn’t make it since she’s still recovering, and was told to avoid large crowds. Not only did Taylor pose for photos with William and the happy kids, she also recorded a personalized video for Kate, wishing her a speedy recovery and promising her the best seats in the house for any of her future concerts when she recovers! And that’s not all, Taylor also gave Prince George and Princess Charlotte bags of concert swag, which she signed for the starstruck kids.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Billy Ray Cyrus’s Achy Breaky Heart broke again this week when he filed for an annulment from his estranged wife, Australian singer Firerose. While the headlines were scandalous -with both sides leveling accusations against one another- I am hearing it’s going to get even messier. Firerose is now trying to get Billy’s estranged daughter Miley and his ex-wife Tish to testify on her behalf about his history of alleged abuse. As my source puts it, the gloves are off and the punches are coming.

Travis Kelce was on the news when he was seen partying hard on Tuesday in Nashville Tennessee, but his trip wasn’t all fun and games. We heard that when he wasn’t living it up, Travis was actually checking out commercial real estate as he and his teammate Patrick Mahomes are eyeing opening a location of 1587 Prime, their Kansas City steakhouse in Nashville. Only this time their business partner will be Travis’ better half Taylor Swift. Their thinking is while there may not be many Kansas City Chief fans in Nashville, there are plenty of Taylor Swift fans there to fill the seats.

Madonna made the news when a lawsuit two concertgoers filed against her was abruptly dismissed on their part. The suit centered around Madonna starting her concert two hours late and claimed fraud. Here’s what we know. Madonna quickly filed an Anti-Slapp lawsuit against the two so that they would be legally responsible for her legal bills if they lost the seemingly frivolous case. Mere moments after the suit was filed, the duo’s case was dropped. Once again, learn your lesson people, don’t mess with Madonna.

Kevin Costner made the news when he spoke fondly about his time on Yellowstone in a cover story in People magazine. Here’s what we know. The reason for Kevin‘s sudden change of heart is because he’s quietly negotiating to rejoin the show for one final season. Kevin’s interview was his way of extending an olive branch, and if a deal can be reached, Kevin will be back on the popular show.

Finally, the big story of the week was Justin Timberlake’s arrest in Sag Harbor, New York for an alleged DUI. We are hearing two things. Justin‘s wife Jessica Biel has been telling friends that Justin seems to be going through a major midlife crisis as he’s no longer a member of one of the worlds most popular boy bands, but now a middle-aged man with wrinkles and thinning hair. From another source though, we are hearing something a little more nefarious. Some music industry insiders are speculating that the whole incident was planned to give Justin an excuse to postpone or cancel his world tour amid sluggish ticket sales. Although Justin’s team has already come out and denied it to TMZ, my sources agree that he will likely do a stint in rehab to repair his tarnished image.

TAYLOR SWIFT HAS MORE THAN FOOTBALL ON HER MIND

AmbitiousTaylor Swift is making plans for a career pivot as soon as her Eras tour concludes. Although she’s dabbled in acting (who can forget her disastrous appearance in the megaflop Cats) Taylor has never been taken seriously as a potential TV or movie star. Now she’s hoping to change that with a little help from her friend, creator Lena Dunham. The women are collaborating on a project which Lena is writing and Taylor will star in. They recently met in London to brainstorm on ideas. My source says Taylor was a huge fan of Lena‘s series Girls and wants to star in a movie that has a similar feminist slant – the LAST thing she wants to do is a musical or a romantic comedy.
