Let’s dive into our first blind item about Emma Roberts and Britney Spears. It goes: “Aside from a history of substance abuse and domestic issues, this rising actress doesn’t quite fit with the vibe of the seasoned A-list singer.” We’re talking about Emma Roberts and Britney Spears.
With the buzz around the upcoming Britney Spears biopic, it seems like every actress is throwing their hat in the ring for the lead role. There’s been a lot of talk about who might be the perfect fit. Sydney Sweeney has been mentioned, and even though I’m not a huge fan of Millie Bobby Brown’s public persona, she might have potential. There’s also talk about Tate McRae, though I’m unsure if she has the acting chops for it. Addison Rae has been suggested too, but Emma Roberts is really putting herself out there for the role.
Apparently, Britney hasn’t chosen her leading lady yet, but those close to her are already throwing out names. Felicia, Britney’s long-time assistant and confidante (who may or may not have reconnected with Britney after some drama), thinks Emma Roberts would be a fantastic choice.
Emma Roberts, known for her roles in “American Horror Story” and as a singing child star on Nickelodeon’s “Unfabulous,” is definitely in the mix. I have to admit, I’m not too familiar with her singing voice these days. Can anyone shed some light on whether Emma Roberts can sing? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!
Emma Roberts recently shared that playing Britney Spears would be her ultimate dream role. Rumor has it that Roberts is a top choice for the part, but is Hollywood getting a bit carried away? Emma told Cosmopolitan, “It’s my true dream to play Britney Spears. It’s just a rumor right now, but I’m hoping it might come true. I remember locking myself in my room, listening to In the Zone, and telling myself I couldn’t leave until I memorized every word.” A lot of us know Britney’s songs by heart too—so does that mean we’re also in the running for the role? Who’s going to tell Emma Roberts she can’t act?
In a recent interview, Roberts mentioned that her famous last name sometimes works against her in auditions. I get it—biopics often shine when they cast someone unknown who looks and acts like the real person. So, if Roberts wants the role, it might need to be on a network where she can say, “I’m Emma Roberts playing Britney Spears, and you’re watching the Disney Channel.” Roberts usually plays the “mean girl” type, which she does really well. However, she seemed pretty down-to-earth at Coachella, so who knows?
Felicia, who’s been vocal about casting choices, thinks Drew Barrymore would be ideal for Britney. That’s a bit surprising because Barrymore might be better suited for an older Britney rather than a younger version through her childhood and teenage years. Felicia also thinks Timothy Chalamet would be a great choice for Justin Timberlake. Considering their relationship was a major part of Britney’s story, Chalamet could be a strong pick to capture that dynamic.
One part of the article that didn’t sit right with me was the comment that “Britney has creative control over the script and casting,” which was framed as “bad news.” It’s her life story—why wouldn’t she have a say in how it’s told? The article’s suggestion that the project might stall because of her involvement felt pretty harsh. Britney’s had her share of conflicts with people in her past, but that doesn’t mean her input should be seen as a problem. Whoever wrote that, come on—give her a break.
Jennifer Lopez is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s because she’s apparently showcasing a new guy to prove she’s moved on. We’ve heard rumors about Ben Affleck hanging out with Kit Kennedy, yes, a Kennedy from the famous family—talk about random! If you haven’t listened to my latest podcast on Marilyn Monroe, you might want to check it out on the “Let’s Get Into It” channel.
One person commented, “JLo again? Her thought process is strange. Nobody cares about her new guy.” Another suggested, “She’s scared of looking single and unwanted.” It seems like some people believe her getting back with Ben was a way to soften the blow after her split with A-Rod. Another comment hit the nail on the head, saying, “She always moves on quickly. It’s her pattern.” This is interesting because it does seem like JLo has a knack for jumping from one relationship to the next, which some find relatable.
After the news broke about JLo filing for divorce from Ben, her ex, Alex Rodriguez, posted a cryptic quote on Instagram: “You either go one way or the other. You might as well be the one deciding the direction,” and credited it to himself. Fans are debating what this means—some think he’s gloating, while others feel he’s showing sympathy for JLo. Despite their past, A-Rod has said he has no hard feelings and still regards JLo as incredibly talented.
As the divorce progresses, there’s a notable update: JLo has asked the court to revert her legal last name from Affleck back to Lopez. Once the divorce is finalized, she’ll officially be Jennifer Lynn Lopez again. This marks JLo’s fourth divorce and Ben’s second. They still have several projects lined up together, so it’ll be interesting to see how their professional relationship plays out. JLo had previously enjoyed the attention when she took on Affleck’s last name, but it looks like she’s ready to go back to her roots.
The news of their divorce comes after months of speculation about a growing distance between them. One source explained, “They’re really different people. She’s very public and social, while he’s more of an introvert who enjoys staying in.” Another insider—who seems to be one of Jennifer Lopez’s friends—revealed that Ben has mood swings and big emotional highs and lows, which actually seems believable. But is this really something the public needs to know? The insider added, “The person he said he was and who he turned out to be are two different things.”
In other updates, it looks like Ellen DeGeneres and Porsha de Rossi are calling it quits. Porsha, known from her roles in various hit shows, has reportedly ended her marriage with Ellen. It seems like Porsha was waiting for the day when she could finalize her financial settlement, as Ellen allegedly made sure Porsha wouldn’t leave with a huge fortune. A commenter mentioned that Porsha hoped Ellen would return to work, but that hasn’t happened. “I can’t imagine how tough it must be living with Ellen all the time. Just picture Ellen’s energy around the house. I wonder if she enforces the same rules at home as she does on her show, like not making eye contact with staff or even with her wife.”
The headline reads: “Sources say Ellen DeGeneres and Porsha de Rossi’s marriage has been strained by recent events. Ellen was becoming a major force in Hollywood with her humor, kindness, and advocacy. But the person she appeared to be in public clashed with the reality at home. Porsha often felt lonely and neglected. Ellen’s hectic schedule sometimes made her unaware of how much Porsha was struggling. In 2018, Ellen even considered ending her talk show because maintaining her public persona was exhausting. She felt trapped by the expectations of her audience and the industry. Porsha supported the idea, hoping it would help them reconnect away from the limelight. However, Ellen chose to renew her contract, which may have suggested that her career was her top priority.”
Let’s talk about their estate. They bought a $70 million mansion in California in 2022, but this year they’ve already sold it. This quick sale has fueled breakup rumors. Ellen usually flips houses, but this one was supposed to be their forever home. They recently celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary, but it wasn’t exactly a celebration.
“Ellen’s been home all the time lately, and it’s really putting a strain on their marriage. Porsche isn’t working much either, and they’re basically living on top of each other. The constant closeness is wearing on them; Porsche is struggling with not having any personal space. It’s disappointing since they’re married, but Porsche feels overwhelmed. Ellen has had a rough few years, and it’d be a real shame if she lost Porsche too.”
“Oh, so my kid’s going to be G because you’re gay? That’s not it, but I’m totally down for some glitter because you’ve got it.”
“Recently divorced after 20 years—how can I meet someone without going through online dating? What’s wrong with online dating anyway?”
“I guess you’ve tried it and found it tough. Divorce after 20 years is really hard. I’m sorry you’re going through this, but I’m glad you’re in a better place. If it’s not working, moving on might be the right choice.”
“Someone commented, ‘Porsche, blink twice if you need help.’ But honestly, I don’t think Porsche is stuck or anything. She could leave if she wanted to. Ellen and Porsche have been together since 2004 and got married in 2008. They own several impressive homes: a $29 million mansion, a $14 million property, and an $8.8 million house, among others. It’ll be interesting to see how this divorce plays out and who Ellen might be interested in next.”
“Now, here’s a juicy tidbit. An A-list actor is trying to convince everyone that he’s moved on from a very public breakup. This involves Kanye and Kim Kardashian. Even though he’s dating someone new, it’s clear he’s still hung up on Kim. He’s actually encouraging his new partner to undergo plastic surgery to look more like Kim. While she hasn’t agreed to surgery yet, she’s already started changing her look—new hairstyle, makeup, wardrobe—to resemble Kim. A friend says he even asks her to wear the same perfume and stilettos that Kim used to. Bianca, his new partner, is going along with it, hoping to secure her place and benefit from his wealth, including control over his estate and finances.”
One person commented, “Kanye West seems to be trying to make his new partner, Bianca, fit into a Kim Kardashian mold. It feels like Kanye is constantly putting Bianca down and controlling her life. He’s clearly picking out her clothes, and it’s pretty unsettling. Did you see what she wore to Disney? Of all places, Disney—with a bunch of kids around!”
Another person chimed in, “No shoes at Disney seems really odd to me.” I totally agree.
Someone else wondered, “I’m curious if a Disney employee said something about Bianca’s outfit. I’ve been called out for wearing a crop top before, and my friend got in trouble for shorts, so it’s strange that Bianca got a pass.”
An insider shared that Kanye chooses Bianca’s outfits before they leave the house and makes her model them so he can record her from every angle. He spends hours picking apart each piece of clothing and even critiques her body in intimate ways. It’s incredibly demeaning, and Kanye clearly loves being in control and debating with his partners. He treats his wives like trophies. We saw how he managed Kim’s wardrobe and made her outfits public. Now with Bianca, he dresses her provocatively and posts it on Instagram, which is strange considering he was once against that kind of thing. Makes you wonder—who is he trying to impress?
And as for Meghan Markle, I’m getting really tired of her. It seems like she’s using YouTube to figure out legal stuff about her brand, American Rivera Orchard, which is having major problems. Someone wrote, “When Meghan says she’s busy working, she’s probably just watching how-to videos online.”
Another person asked, “I wonder if they were as thorough with their prenuptial agreement and Netflix contract.”
One more comment was, “I hope their financial situation falls apart soon—things like bankruptcy or liens would be interesting. While I don’t wish financial trouble on anyone, it’s frustrating how they seem so out of touch with their privilege. Maybe a bit of humility would do them good.”
Finally, someone asked, “Did Meghan’s unpaid intern have the day off?”
Let’s jump into the latest buzz. Meghan Markle hit a major snag last week when her trademark application was denied. This is a big setback for her American Rivera Orchard HomeGoods brand, which she was hoping to build up with a line of small-batch jams and other household goodies. Unfortunately, the US Patent and Trademark Office wasn’t on her side. Last year, she also had trouble keeping the rights to her podcast brand, Archwell. It’s surprising she’s having these issues, considering she’s a duchess—you’d think she’d have a top-notch team handling these things. Maybe the real problem is that she’s not exactly the easiest person to work with.
The trademark office rejected her application for a couple of reasons. First, they said businesses can’t trademark geographical names, so “American Rivera” wasn’t going to fly. They also pointed out that Meghan didn’t sign a bunch of required documents and gave vague descriptions of her products that could fit into different trademark categories. For instance, her cocktail napkins could be either paper or fabric, and her cooking utensils might be manual or electronic.
Things get even juicier when you look at Meghan’s American Rivera brand and its similarities to Flamingo Estate. Flamingo Estate is this gorgeous LA property known for its small-batch goods like candles, dried fruit, and honey, including special honey drops with celebrities. Meghan announced her company in March, and her product line looks strikingly similar to what Flamingo Estate offers.
Rachel’s article throws in a twist: Meghan reportedly tried to invest in Flamingo Estate but the deal didn’t go through. If you watch a 2022 video featuring Harry, you’ll even spot Flamingo Estate books in the background. Meghan’s troubles don’t stop there—she’s been accused of trying to avoid paying $1,000 in fees. Starting a business is expensive, and avoiding fees like this shows a lack of seriousness. Her recurring issues suggest problems with her team, though she’s the one choosing them. It’s likely that talented people are leaving because of her management style.
On top of all this, there are reports about Meghan’s behavior in the royal family. She’s been accused of bullying, which led to 14 staff members quitting over the years. That’s a huge turnover rate, especially compared to other media companies. Personally, I’ve had only one person leave from my team in several years. The fact that so many people are leaving raises serious questions about what’s really going on behind the scenes.
The Daily Mail even mentioned that one of Meghan’s alleged bullying victims is now trying to get out of a non-disclosure agreement to tell their story, especially with the upcoming Netflix documentary likely taking shots at the palace. Closer magazine also reported that Harry and Meghan have been very demanding, which might explain why so many staff members have left. It’s concerning to think that someone with royal connections would treat their staff so poorly.
Hey everyone! So, there’s a juicy blind item making the rounds, and it involves none other than Beyoncé. Apparently, she’s in the spotlight again for some not-so-great reasons. There are claims that she might be shortchanging songwriters, which could explain why she’s not always taking home those big awards. Some people think it’s because Beyoncé doesn’t write her own songs, and this might be why she hasn’t won “Artist of the Year” as often as expected.
Tiffany Red, a songwriter, has come forward with some serious accusations. She’s saying that Beyoncé doesn’t appreciate the hard work of songwriters and even goes as far as to take their publishing rights. Tiffany argues that in the fast-moving music industry, where songs are churned out quickly, it’s easy for someone else to take credit and make it look like they’re the sole creator. This, according to Tiffany, is a big issue because it undermines the hard work of those behind the scenes.
I personally think songwriters are incredibly important and often don’t get the recognition they deserve. It’s crucial to highlight their contributions and ensure they get the credit they’ve earned.
On a different note, DJ Krata recently shared some insights about his experience with Beyoncé’s team in an interview with Vulture. He mentioned that while he played a remix of Beyoncé’s 2012 single at her Bella show last year, her team offered very low compensation for the song’s rights, which led him to decline the offer. Krata expressed that sometimes people don’t recognize your worth. However, he later had the chance to open for Beyoncé on tour and even celebrated her birthday, which shows there was no lasting bad blood.
Some Beyoncé fans took issue with Krata’s comments, accusing him of being bitter. Krata clarified that he wasn’t trying to drag Beyoncé but was simply sharing his experience. Business is business, and it doesn’t always mean there’s a personal vendetta.
Lastly, I wanted to share that I recently appeared on Just Trish, and it was such a blast! Thanks so much for the positive feedback—it really means a lot. I was super nervous, but it was an incredible experience. If you watched the episode, drop your thoughts in the comments below. I’d love to hear what you think!
