HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Kelly Clarkson was one of the biggest stories of the week after she took to social media to express anger at the way she was allegedly treated at ART OF PLAY, a toy and book store in Brooklyn.  Here’s what we know.  The incident over a $15,000 animated bird is the story that dominated the headlines for most of the week with both Kelly and the store going back and forth on social media.  Now Kelly is being advised by some of her handlers to clean up the mess because her complaining about not being able to purchase a $15,000 decorative item isn’t playing well with some of her more middle class fans.  We are hearing that Kelly’s people are hoping to partner up with the store and donate toys and books to the less fortunate just in time for the holiday season.  It’s not a done deal yet , but don’t be too surprised if it happens.

 

Tell-all books also dominated the headlines this week.  First, Joe Manganiello’s tome, Bloodlines , made the news for less than flattering stories about his ex-wife, Sofia Vergara.  We just heard this:  Sofia is gearing up for a sit down interview to address the stories that portray her in an unpleasant tone.  She’s currently deciding what show to appear on, but she’s eager to address Joe’s book and get her side of the story (which includes some unpleasant tidbits about Joe) out there as soon as possible.

 

In other tell all news, Collin Gosselin’s memoir is anything but a love letter to his estranged mother, Kate.  He reveals so many nasty details that my source says Kate is considering suing him!  Yes, you read that right, the reality mom is LIVID over the way her son portrays her,  and she’s insisting to pals that those stories about how she abused him just aren’t true.  Buckle up kiddos- this one is going to get even nastier than it already is.

 

Selma Blair made news when she was arrested in New York for allegedly assaulting numerous people, including flight attendants on a Delta flight, a police officer and a nurse.  We can tell you this.  Selma is already planning to call her MS doctor (we know the name but we prefer not to reveal it) to testify on her behalf that the violent episode was caused by an unexpected MS flare up and missed doses of her medication.  My source says Selma is even considering checking into a rehabilitation center to deal with her MS because the stress of the situation.  Her arrest is causing her to experience MS symptoms that had previously been under control.

 

Kimberly Guilfoyle got the boot as Ambassador to Greece after The Wall Street Journal published a news story revealing that she was asking people for big bucks ( $100,000 to pay off her AMEX bill) for access to President Trump.  Here’s what we know.  Kimberly is being swarmed with offers from publishers to write a tell all book about everything she experienced with the Trump family during the time she was engaged to Donnie.  My source says Kim hasn’t signed on just yet , but she IS tempted by the big numbers being offered.

 

In more Trump news, his new White House Press Secretary, Katie Zacharia was in the news for two things.  She bombed during her first press conference and she was exposed as not being an actual attorney as she and Trump both claimed – she did go to law school , but she failed the Bar exam.  We can tell you this.  Behind very closed doors ( and our source is that good) Trump is already interviewing for her replacement.  The story will be that she loved her new job but it became too demanding – juggling that along with her husband and four kids.  Long story short, Trump wants her out!

 

Brooks Nader was in the news for getting handsy with her Baywatch costar Stephen Arnell.  We can tell you this.  The photos of them in London were STAGED.  As we previously reported,  producers of the Baywatch reboot are worried that the show is going to flop miserably and they’re looking for creative ways to drum up publicity. They’ve turned to the oldest trick in the book:  a romance among costars. We can tell you, Brooks and Stephen are good friends, but stories of a romance are completely manufactured to create headlines.

WE TOLD YA SO!

On Monday, October 12, we exclusively revealed that Diddy sustained a head injury during a run-in with a fellow inmate and it only took TMZ two days to confirm our scoop. See link below.  While other websites were reporting that Diddy was in solidarity confinement and injured his head when he slipped and fell , we knew that the cause was actually a fight with another inmate.  Once again, WE TOLD YA SO!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Our gal’s career started off strong , but the years haven’t been so kind and she’s been reduced to being more of a supporting actress or guest star.  She’s struggled with her fair share of issues – both health and financial – but for awhile seemed to have gotten her life back on track.  Unfortunately it recently derailed and she’s headed into rehab for alcohol addiction.  Our gal loves vodka and what started as a two martini lunch recently spiraled into drinking two bottles a day.  Her loved ones have done their best to shield her bad behavior , but they now realize they’re not equipped to keep her from harming herself or others.  She resisted going to rehab until one of her  much more rich and famous friends got involved, offering to pay for the entire rehab stay.  It was an offer too good to pass up – so she’s agreed to get treatment. Guess the actress and her rich and famous friend.

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Yikes – some people never learn their lesson.  Our handsome actor (mainly movies but he’s dabbled in other mediums) was all but cancelled for some very questionable behavior with women. His career is hanging on by a thread,  but that hasn’t stopped him from being a creep.  He was recently booted from a West Hollywood gym frequented by pretty model types , for inappropriate behavior.  He claimed it was just an accident , but he exposed himself to a female member while wearing short shorts with no underwear.  The club didn’t want any negative publicity and the female gym member didn’t want any bad press either (she’s a C -list LA model and aspiring actress)  so our guy was shown the door .  He was told they would drop the matter if he agreed to relinquish his membership.  That’s exactly what he did.

GUESS WHO!!

HOLLYWOOD WHODUNIT

Buckle up- it’s going to get bumpy.  Our gal is definitely a household name,  but more for who she’s been linked to over the years than for any major accomplishments.  She was recently dumped by an ex with a very famous last name,  and took a substantial payout to stay quiet.  Unfortunately,  she spends money like it grows on trees and she’s broke again with no viable means of supporting herself.  She signed a non disclosure agreement when she settled with her ex , but in a major tactical error , the contract only covered HIM and not his friends or family.  She’s seen a lot , and now that’s she’s desperate for cash , she’s circled back to her ex, demanding an even bigger payout or she’s going to start singing like a canary about ALL the deep, dark and dirty secrets she was privy to.

 

GUESS WHO!!

WE TOLD YA SO!

More We Told Ya So!  Back in February 2025 we exclusively revealed that Tobey Maguire would be a part of the upcoming wedding of his ex-wife, Jennifer Meyer, and that’s EXACTLY what happened this weekend in Hawaii.  (How often does a man show up at his ex-wife’s wedding? ) Not only did Tobey give a toast as we told ya he would, but he also surprised everyone by officiating the ceremony.  The wedding was originally planned for January 2026 , but got pushed back so Jen and Tobey could finalize their divorce and tie up some financial loose ends. And you were the first to know…

PRIVATE PRISON FOR DIDDY?

Sean “Diddy” Combs was rushed to the hospital from federal prison after sustaining a head injury over the weekend.  My source says that Sean was involved in an altercation with a fellow inmate , and now his attorneys are headed to court to try to get the remainder of his sentence ( just over another year) converted to house arrest.  My source explains that Diddy feels he’s a target in prison and the only way to ensure his safety is solitary confinement.  That’s causing him mental anguish,  so he’s hoping a sympathetic judge will allow him to spend the remainder of his sentence at either his own home or to be transferred to a “private prison” (look it up!)  where he would absorb the cost of his stay in order to ensure both his physical safety and mental health.  His attorneys are trying to get this before a judge as we write this, but nonetheless there’s no guarantee it will even be heard.  You can’t blame him for trying though.

JUSTIN BALDONI IS BACK ON TRACK

Blake Lively nemesis Justin Baldoni relies on new age practices to stay calm, cool and collected.  Justin is currently back in Los Angeles working on his upcoming movie, House of Guerrero, and when he’s not on set, he’s taking yoga classes in West Hollywood.  Justin was seen leaving a yoga studio/gym on Beverly Blvd on October 11 wearing a tank top that exposed the temporary bruising from another alternative treatment he uses to ease stress: cupping.  My source says that Justin embraced both yoga and cupping during his seemingly endless legal troubles with Blake Lively , but since that chapter is behind him , he decided to continue with both – telling a friend that’s the one GOOD thing that came out of the years long mess.
