Exclusive: The truth behind Meghan's social media overshare
And why Orlando’s going to the Bezos wedding *without* fiancé Katy Perry
Hey, it’s The Spotlight — your personal front-row seat for all the hottest showbiz stories. Here’s what’s happening…
Lonely Orlando ‘hits the Bezos wedding solo’… even though Katy Perry is besties with the bride
So, Orlando Bloom is packing his bags for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s mega-wedding in Venice, but…he’s reportedly going solo.
As in — without the woman he’s been engaged to for a gazillion years, Katy Perry. Who just happens to be best friends with the bride.
Listen, our girl Katy is allegedly busy in Australia with 15 sold-out shows (sold out in venues that aren’t exactly arenas, but we digress…). But are you really telling us she’s too booked and busy to go to the wedding of the year?
Talk that ‘their romance is in trouble’ has been churning on the rumour mill lately, and this only adds fuel to the fire.
Sure, Katy’s tour was booked ages ago, but the timing’s savage. Especially after her star turn at Lauren’s bachelorette in Paris, where she was definitely giving ‘I’ll be there for you, bestie’ energy.
In more ‘not so romantic after all’ news, Bezos is supposedly flexing his iron-clad prenup with Lauren harder than a bodybuilder at the gym. One source claimed it’s the reason the couple have taken so long to set a date.
No repeat of that $38billion (£28bn) divorce drama with his ex MacKenzie Scott to see here.
Billionaire producer Tyler Perry faces $260m sexual assault lawsuit
Tyler Perry — the billionaire creator of cultural phenom Madea, and all *13* movies about her — is facing a $260million (£193m) lawsuit from actor Derek Dixon.
Dixon claims Perry spotted him at an event back in 2019 and asked for his number. Then, the suit alleges, Perry lured him in with juicy roles before launching what Dixon’s calling ‘psychological warfare’.
Think creepy texts, alleged groping sessions, and supposedly holding Derek's character in shows like White House drama The Oval ‘hostage’ — threatening to kill him off if Derek didn't comply.
Well, his character did get shot four times…
Derek’s saying he’s got PTSD, medical bills to pay, and receipts including texts and doctor’s notes. Tyler’s lawyers are screaming ‘extortion’ and ‘scam’.
We’ll be watching to see how this story unfolds.
Kelsey Grammer, 70, has baby number EIGHT on the way
So, Kelsey Grammer’s about to be a dad... yet again. Oh, at 70.
He and wife Kayte, 46, are expecting another child — that makes baby no.8 for the Frasier star. The pair were spotted shopping for snacks and life decisions in London alongside their three older children.
A tattletale says the surprise bump has ‘reignited’ their spark. Really? Well, if the thought of incoming dirty nappies does it for ya... go wild.
Anyway, with four wives and soon, eight kids, forget Frasier. The real drama’s at home.
Exclusive: The heartbreaking reason Harry’s suddenly happy to have pictures of his kids online
What’s with the change of direction at the Court of Montecito? Recently, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has gone from guarding her kids’ privacy to posting a torrent of pics and family videos on Instagram.
She says it’s all about authenticity — even that infamous clip of her twerking while in labour. She commented on a podcast this week: ‘I’m just grateful that now, being back on social... I can share it on my own terms.’
But what about husband Prince Harry? The Spotlight can reveal why he’s suddenly all-in on the Sussex overshare. And no, it’s not about brand-building.
‘Harry is completely heartbroken,’ our insider reveals. ‘His dad refuses to see him or the kids — not even on Zoom. This isn’t a PR move. It’s desperation. He just wants Charles to see what he’s missing.’
Harry recently told reporters that the King, who’s battling cancer, won’t talk to him — and added that he doesn’t know how much longer his dad has left.
Royal experts said at the time that Charles was unable to speak to Harry because of an ongoing lawsuit over his police protection in the UK — a case Harry lost in May.
It’s also been suggested that senior royals don’t trust the Sussexes to keep any discussion between the two sides private.
Still, it sounds like while Meghan’s proudly posting home videos and beachy bike rides, Harry’s quietly hoping his father might watch from afar.
The insider adds: ‘Harry’s tried everything, calls, olive branches. Nothing’s worked. This is his last resort.’
Subtext? While Meghan’s got her groove back with the help of strawberry jams and a soft-focus Montecito dream, Harry’s seriously aching over the royal rift.
Nepo news; Rod Stewart denied 15 mins of Glasto fame; Robin Wright’s House of Cards earnings
Another day, another nepo baby… Jason Momoa’s son Nakoa-Wolf, 16, is joining Dune: Messiah playing Timothée and Zendaya’s kid. His dad will also star in the film. NDS (Nepo Derangement Syndrome) is officially an epidemic…
Sir Rod Stewart’s dropping $215k (£160k) like it's hot to perform at Glasto. His $188k (£140k) fee won’t cover flying ‘a little orchestra’ and all his dancers from Vegas… Organisers even refused him 15 minutes’ extra stage time to squeeze in all the fan faves. Just turn up with a Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? backing demo, Rod.
Robin Wright says Netflix wouldn’t match Kevin Spacey’s House of Cards salary for her because ‘you didn’t win an Academy Award’. Ouch! They offered a deal instead: act, exec produce and direct to bump up her earnings. ‘Three paychecks!’ she said. ‘Why can’t you just pay me as an actor?’ Hollywood maths: 1 woman + 3 jobs = still not enough.
Nonna forever: Grandma who made Ari famous dies at 99
She wasn’t on the charts, but to Ariana Grande and her fans, Nonna was a legend. Marjorie Grande, popstar Ari’s iconic, no-nonsense grandmother, has died peacefully at 99.
Whether hyping her granddaughter (she pushed her to audition for her first role) or dominating a poker table, she gave zero f***s and endless love.
Ariana said: 'We are devastated to share that the beloved matriarch of our family has passed away.' RIP Nonna Marge.
Brooklyn Beckham just dropped $14 million (£11m) on a Hollywood mansion because nothing says ‘I’m definitely not coming home’ like a pool bigger than your family drama.
Glee gave us so many epic characters, but 13 cast members have died since it hit our screens. What’s up with that?
Brad Pitt’s mid-life clothing crisis continues… this time he’s dragging girlfriend Ines de Ramon into it.
Kylie Jenner just showed daughter Stormi her ‘King Kylie’ blue wig phase and the seven-year-old’s deadpan verdict? ‘It’s not a good combo.’ Well, damn.
Ozzy Osbourne’s selling his DNA for $475... finally, a chance to clone your own bat-biting madman and blame him for everything.
Tom Cruise is finally getting an Oscar (an honorary one — meh). We’re putting money on him jumping on his chair on the night.
