Another week, another celebrity mess for us to discuss! And my God, what a week it was. Let’s skip the small talk and just hop right in, shall we?
💍 Taylor & Travis: NYC July 4th Wedding — Or Is It?
Save the dates are allegedly out for the celebrity wedding of the century. According to the NY Post, Taylor Swift will become Mrs. Travis Kelce on July 3rd, in New York City.
But I have a sneaky suspicion this could be a red-herring as Taylor has always had her big 4th bash at her humongous, ocean-front, Rhode Island estate… which is perfect for a dreamy wedding. No shade to my home, NYC, because if she does tie the knot here, at the very least she and Trvais will get free fireworks, saving $250,000. But my gut still says RI. And Taykor is known to misdirect, especially if she wants her wedding to be free of paparazzi hoardes.
🎬 Euphoria Is Back — And The Cast Can Barely Stand Each Other
Season 3 premiered this week, and the off-screen drama is already giving the show a run for its money. Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney allegedly avoided each other at the LA premiere, with insiders saying Euphoria bosses have long been aware that the two leads barely cross paths.
The reported roots of the feud are: Sweeney allegedly flirted with (Zendaya’s rumored hubby) Tom Holland when he visited the set, which did not go down well with Zendaya.
There’s also a pay gap tension — Zendaya had been earning more, which wasn’t easy for Sweeney, especially given how big her profile has since become.
Meanwhile, some crew members describe Sweeney as having “a lot of demands“ on set, while Zendaya is described as “a total professional,” and then there’s director Sam Levinson, whom everyone seems to hate. Even before the lousy reviews came in for Season 3, the cast was annoyed at an alleged toxic set conditions, long working hours, and also felt he didn’t spend a lot of attention on the show, preferring to concentrate on his other HBO show, The Idol, with The Weekend… which bombed.
🚫 Blake Lively: The Daily Mail Says She’s Unhireable. My Substack Readers ( aka, You Guys) Knew This a Week Ago. Also: Ryan Reynolds is noxious.
The Daily Mail has caught up to what I told you last week: Nobody wants to work with Blake Lively ever again.
Meanwhile, with the trial kicking off May 18th, Ryan Reynolds has officially been named as a witness, set to testify about the film’s production, the promotional campaign, and the alleged retaliation at the center of the case.
And Ryan is not going in clean — unsealed court documents show Reynolds enlisted his WME agent and the then-executive chairman of Endeavor to go, in his own words, “full Ari” on Baldoni and trashed the actor/director to his powerful friends in the industry after getting WME to dump him and his production company as a client.
Baldoni’s attorneys are going to have a field day with him on the stand. Grab your popcorn.
Britney gyrating in lingerie on a yacht for Instagram. Again
🚗 Britney: Back At It On Instagram — With A Court Date Looming
I feel for Britney, I really do. But posting nip slip dancing videos on Instagram when you’ve got a DUI hearing coming up is not the move.
She had calmed down after her March DUI for a few weeks… was hanging out with her sons, and yes: she may have gyrated on them a bit, but she was fully clothed (for Britney). But now. Well take a look at the nip slipping lingerie she gyrated in earlier today (before deleting the post). WTF BRIT? Knock it off!
She’s now due in court on May 4th, and prosecutors are still reviewing the toxicology results before deciding on charges.
Either way, a judge is going to see that Britney has refused any sort of treatmentc, despite claiming she would, and look at her social media. Britney may lose her beloved freedom after all. Or at the very least, her license.
🎤 Justin Bieber at Coachella: $10 Million for… That?
Bieber reportedly pocketed $10 million for his Coachella headline slot and took the stage in a hoodie, shorts and sunglasses, playing songs off a laptop and showing internet memes on screen.
Social media was brutal and comparisons to Sabrina Carpenter, who delivered a polished high-production show with celebrity cameos the night before, only made things worse.
Some fans defended it as a return to his YouTube roots. Everyone else called it what it was: lazy. He gets another shot at redemption on April 18th.
👧 North West at Coachella — Unsupervised at 12.
North West rolled through day two of Coachella, rocking blue hair, booty shorts, and combat boots, stopping constantly for fan photos, posing, smiling, and chilling with her friends. And not a parent in sight. She is twelve years old. At Coachella. Without her parents. I understand that growing up Kardashian means growing up fast, but at what point should someone call Children’s Aid?
Okay, as Porky Pig used to say: “thththththat’s all, folks!”
At least for today 😉.
