I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Scottish acting hottie Richard Madden, right, was recently seen kind of embracing openly gay actor Brandon Flynn, left, while they are sharing a home in Los Angeles together, so they are obviously a couple?

Well, Richard Madden isn’t saying.

Madden, who plays Elton John’s first manager/ex-boyfriend John Reid in the Rocketman, is giving all kinds of interviews and, of course, since he’s playing gay onscreen, the reporters want to know which way he swings in real life, but Richard wants to keep that private:

“I just keep my personal life personal. I’ve never talked about my relationships.”

And he’s trying his best to beat the paparazzi at their own game while he and Brandon enjoy LA:

“I wear the same clothes days in a row, because if it looks like the same day, they can’t run the pictures. There’s only so many photos you can have of me with a green juice walking down the street.”

Good idea, but then there’s the pictures of Madden and Flynn wearing matching necklaces, the same kind of necklace that Richard gave to his ex-Jenna Coleman.

Well, maybe there was a sale?

At any rate, gay or not, they make a lovely couple.

Sacha Baron Cohen, trying to stay relevant, has sunk to using Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson as the arbiter of his relevance.

According to The Daily Beast, Cohen has confirmed—though no one apparently even asked—that Pam and Kid Rock’s 4-month marriage ended in divorce because of Borat .

Seriously. Cohen says that Pam was in on the joke when his character Borat attempted to kidnap her at a Virgin Megastore book signing by throwing a bag on her head after she refused his proposal of marriage. Well, when the film came out in 2006—see, the relevance is over a decade old—Pam had recently married Kid Rock and then filed for divorce a few weeks later after they attended a screening of Borat. When it was over, Kid Rock “started screaming at Pam, saying she had humiliated herself and telling her, ‘You’re nothing but a whore! You’re a slut! How could you do that movie?’”

Cohen says Pam texted him after and when he asked how it went, she told him the marriage was over because of “the movie.”

Sheesh, and I thought it just ended Cohen’s career.

I guess  DJ Khaled’s parents never taught him that winning is everything, because big boy is throwing a mighty big hissy fit lately.

It appears that the rapper-producer is ALLEGEDLY fuming at his record label because his newest album, “Father of Asahd,” failed to debut at the top of the charts and instead landed all the way down at … Number 2.

Khaled then ALLEGEDLY stormed into Epic records with an entourage, temper flaring, angry and yelling, and blaming his Second Place Showing on label executive’s not understanding streaming services and bundle deals.

Publicly, Khaled is all about positivity, but rumor has it that he, and he alone, overhyped the record and blew it up as his biggest album ever and, oops, it wasn’t.

He also went off because an estimated 100,000 downloads of his album that were sold through a bundle deal with an energy drink weren’t included in his sales by Billboard. And he’s upset that his label didn’t demand the numbers be included so he could be Number One, instead of a stinky Number two.

Rich people problems. My heart aches for him.

In the grand scheme of things, this really is just a pittance, but still … the divorce settlement between Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower is messy because she wants $250 million. I call that a pittance after Mackenzie Bezos nabbed $37 billion.

De Niro and Hightower, who split last year after 20 years together, are fighting over money; this really isn’t a surprise because it was just a couple of years ago that De Niro publicly whined about doing sh*tty movies because Hightower was spending so many coins. And so now, even though there is a prenup giving Grace far less, the bickering couple and their lawyers are trying to hash a settlement where she wants $250 million of his $500 million and he says, What the f**k?

Hightower has filed six subpoenas for De Niro’s financial records to prove he’s got the money, and that half should be hers except that when the couple remarried in 2004—they first married  in 1997 and divorced in 1999—she signed  a rigid prenup that limited her to a $6 million apartment, $500,000 in cash, and $1 million a year in alimony.

DeNiro’s lawyers are also, What the f**k, Grace, that is your signature on the prenup right?

I mean, yes, they were married a while, but she signed the deal, and she’s getting an NYC apartment, 500K in fast cash, and a million a year for life.

Take a seat, Grace, you made your prenup, and never bothered to upgrade so …

Oh god, do I have to talk about Madonna again?

Short answer: yes. See, Madonna, who says she was raped years ago as a teenager, but never reported it, and then claimed a few years ago that having some of her music leaked before her album dropped was similar to being raped, is now crying rape again because …

She is not happy with her New York Times profile, most importantly that her favorite photo from the interview wasn’t :::gasp:::: used in the piece and slammed the newspaper as “one of the founding fathers of the Patriarchy”:

“To say that I was disappointed in the article would be an understatement- It seems. You cant [sic] fix society And its endless need to diminish, Disparage or degrade that which they know is good. Especially strong independent women.”

For the love of goddess, Madge, learn to spell, learn about punctuation, learn about grammar and learn that even Madonna doesn’t get everything she wants and when she doesn’t it isn’t because she’s a woman, or because she’s sixty, and it most assuredly isn’t rape.

I think women who’ve actually been sexually assaulted, and you count yourself among them, might disagree that a profile in the New York Times with a picture you don’t like, is not the same thing.

Siddown, hag.
