Travis Kelce

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry spent Valentine’s Day apart, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t celebrate. I just heard that among other tokens of his affection, Harry gave Meghan a remake of the black sheep sweater his mom Princess Diana wore and made famous. The sweater was recently reissued by Warm and Wonderful and quickly sold out, but Harry found one at an online reseller.

The biggest story of the week was the Kansas City Chief’s devastating and one-sided loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in last Sunday’s Super Bowl. While the game was big news, the bigger news happened right after the final play, when KC gave their star player, Travis Kelce, a deadline to decide whether or not he wants to continue playing or retire. Here’s what we know. Travis’ better half, Taylor Swift is urging him to hang up his helmet and begin the next chapter of their lives including starting a family and focusing on his much desired Hollywood career. (JCH readers already know he has a modeling job)  Travis hasn’t made up his mind yet, but my source says he’s leaning towards taking Taylor’s advice.

Speaking of the Super Bowl, the other big news was Kendrick Lamar’s statement-filled halftime show. Kendrick made numerous obvious and subtle references to his feud with Drake and we are hearing that a well connected group of their mutual pals recently had a conference call to brainstorm how to mend the fences between the two rappers and end the feud. Apparently they feel the bad blood is bad for business, and they’re hoping to broke a peace deal -with one possible scenario involving a duet between the two feuding rappers. The thinking behind it is that the proposed song would rake in millions and -lets face it- money can solve some problems.

Another week, another barrage of Diddy lawsuits from both men and women who are claiming they were sexually assaulted by the incarcerated rapper. If that wasn’t enough for Diddy to worry about, we are hearing that he’s quickly aged behind bars since he’s unable to access his high priced anti-aging treatments. My source says that although he’s been locked up for less than a year, he already looks 10 years older! Diddy is trying to get permission to get Botox and other procedures done while he’s awaiting trial, and since he’s not yet convicted, but only charged, his legal team feels a judge might grant his wish. Long story short, Diddy knows he’s going to trial and he wants to look his best.

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, Teddi Mellencamp made news when she announced on social media she underwent surgery for multiple brain tumors. While it’s probably the last think she’s focused on, we just heard that Andy Cohen wants to brighten her spirits by having her back on the popular series next season as a friend of the Housewives.

Kayne West made headlines for all of the wrong reasons – including going on a racist rant, spending $8 million on a Super Bowl ad to sell T-shirts with swastikas, and getting dumped by his wife Bianca Censori. We know this. The few celebrity friends Kanye has left have been reaching out to none other than his former mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, to get her to help. First of all, Kris has access to very rich and powerful people, like Jeff Bezos. Second, Kayne is the father to 4 of her grandchildren and third, when he’s sane, Kayne seems to have a bond with Kris. While Kris is worried about her former son-in law, she isn’t sure she wants to get involved in his issues, but she has agreed to think it over.

Happy Valentine’s Day to You!

 

TRAVIS KELCE IS NOW A MODEL

It so happens that a disappointing football season is over, and Travis Kelce has a decision to make. Will he retire from the NFL or return for another season? Whether he leaves or stays, his next gig is already lined up. Travis, who’s become quite the risk taker when it comes to his wardrobe, has been tapped to become the first celebrity MODEL for the high-end men’s clothing line, Amiri. Travis is a fan of the label and even wore their 1970’s inspired outfits to the Super Bowl. After a few weeks of much needed rest and relaxation from the physically demanding football season, Travis is scheduled to shoot the ad campaign in and around Los Angeles in early March.

TRAVIS KELCE’S CLOSET IS A DISASTER

Travis Kelce has a wardrobe of new designer clothes. Thanks in part to his romance with Taylor Swift, fashion designers are clamoring to dress the professional football player. He’s become a fashion plate and rarely wears the same thing twice, but the unexpected consequence is that he has too many clothes and not enough closet space. Not a problem – Travis is teaming up with an online reseller to auction off the items he no longer needs, and plans to donate all proceeds to various charities including one close to Taylor’s heart, an animal rescue sanctuary. In his rare spare time, he’s sorting through mountains of clothes, editing things that he plans to sell.

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Katy Perry was honored at the VMAs this past week with the Vanguard Award, (lifetime achievement) and Taylor Swift was seen in the audience singing and dancing along to the performance. This made headlines because the gals went from best friends to enemies after a well publicized spat over back-up dancers. They recently buried the hatchet, and there’s a reason Taylor was so animated in the audience while Katy performed – they are planning to do a DUET together. We just heard about the top secret plan and the single will be released in early 2025.

Speaking of Taylor Swift, the weeks’ biggest news was her endorsement of Kamala Harris. We recently revealed her boyfriend Travis Kelce was planning to follow in her footsteps and endorse the Democratic nominee as well, but we just heard that plan has hit a snag. Travis plays for the Kansas City Chiefs and the owners are Trump supporters. Poor Travis is facing a real-life Sophie’s Choice, either disappoint his girlfriend or the people who sign his paycheck. My source says he is still hoping for a way to endorse Kamala without officially endorsing her, which means expect to see him at one of her upcoming rallies.

Selena Gomez made the news this week when it was revealed she was worth approximately $1 billion thanks to her line of beauty products. According to our source, Selena is wasting no time spending her newfound fortune. She just began looking at homes in Montecito, California, right down the street from where Oprah Winfrey resides. My source explains that her goal is to get married and have a child via surrogate in 2025 and she loves the idea of raising a family in the affluent coastal community.

Donald Trump made headlines for his disastrous debate performance against Kamala Harris and he just announced he won’t be participating in any more debates. We just heard this scoop though. Kamala had accepted a few offers to debate Trump on NBC and she still plans on showing up to spread HER message to the American people even if Trump is a no show.

Finally, Jennifer Lopez made headlines when she appeared in Toronto at her Unstoppable movie premiere alongside Matt Damon but without her estranged husband Ben Affleck. (Ben, Matt, and Jen all produced the film). J.Lo and Matt were seen clasping hands engulfed in conversation and we just heard they weren’t talking about their movie. My source says Matt is devastated that Ben and Jen are calling it quits and he was encouraging her to work it out. We have all seen Ben’s history of spiraling when he’s single, and Matt is fearful Ben will fall off the sober wagon once he faces the reality of being alone again. Jennifer still loves Ben but our source says his mood swings became too much for her to handle. The ONLY way she’s calling off the divorce is if he checks into a treatment center and gets his moods under control.

TRAVIS KELCE: IS THERE LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL?

Anyone who watches football already knows  Travis Kelce didn’t have a noteworthy season opening game  against  the Baltimore Ravens on September 5. Although his team won, HIS performance on the field was underwhelming. According to my NFL source, Travis seems to be ready to check out of football and focus on his post life after professional sports. Not only did he and his brother Jason just sign a $100 million podcast deal, but he’s been inundated with job offers – thanks to his romance with Taylor Swift.  Travis has money-making offers pouring in – modeling jobs, a movie role, endorsement deals, and much more – but with his grueling football practices and games, Travis just doesn’t have the time, which is why he’s talking to pals about retiring. (my advice to Travis: retire the mustache!)

WE TOLD YA SO!

WAY back in July, we told you that Vice President Kamala Harris was working to get Taylor Swift’s endorsement, and that it would happen sometime in early October or right before. It so happens our very well placed source could NOT have been more spot on, as Taylor just endorsed Kamala today. (See link below.) Now we are hearing that Taylor’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, will be NEXT in line to endorse Kamala. Once again, if you want the hottest gossip FIRST – continue reading this website!

WHY TAYLOR SWIFT AND BRITTANY MAHOMES APPEAR FRIENDLIER

Don’t think for a second that Taylor Swift is buddy buddy with MAGA lover, Brittany Mahomes just because the gals were photographed hugging over the past weekend at the US Open. (above) Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce and Brit’s husband Patrick are not only Kansas City Chiefs, teammates they’re ALSO best friends, and the feud among their better-halves became a problem. My source explains that Travis persuaded Taylor to be friendly with Brit, but only within her comfort zone. Meaning this: They aren’t hanging out (which is why they didn’t have a group dinner together while in NYC) but they will be friendly to each other in public situations. As we previously reported, Taylor cooled on Brit months ago, fearing she was a social climber and her seemingly endorsement of Donald Trump was the final straw.

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.

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.

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.
