How would you feel if your parents only left you LESS THAN 1% of their wealth?  Probably not great, right?  But what if their wealth was over $100 BILLION? Bill Gates revealed that he will leave his three kids less than 1% of his wealth.  Forbes estimates his fortune to be $101.2 billion, so less than 1% of that is still at least $1 billion. Bill wants to give them a chance to have their own earnings and success . . . he said the highest calling for these resources is to go back to the neediest through his foundation.

Not every movie needs a sequel, at least that’s how Steven Spielberg felt about “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”. And he succeeded, even though he didn’t have a legal right to stop it. He briefly considered a sequel, but the only storyline he could think of was the 1985 novel, “E.T.: The Book of the Green Planet”.  It takes place on E.T.’s home planet.

Life & Style Weekly claims Demi Moore is allegedly considering “cankle reduction” surgery. A source says, Cankles have been giving her grief for some time, and it’s a problem she’s tried to hide with clothes and certain shoes, but it’s gotten worse with age. She’s wary of people joking about her ‘cankles.’ She’s trying to do everything in her power to fix them including using Epsom salts, getting massages and changing her diet and exercise. Nothing seems to be working to her satisfaction, and she’s seriously considering cankle reduction surgery. She’s pretty pleased with the rest of her body, and it’s no secret she’s relied on a few nips [and] tucks to get it, and her fat ankles are the next fixer-upper on her list.”

Geo TV says Taylor Swift is allegedly gearing up to pause her career to focus on wedding preparations with Travis Kelce. A source says, “She’s been super focused on work commitments. She’s not kidding when she says she’s exhausted. She’s ready for a break so she can focus on the wedding. She’s very excited about planning the wedding. Being engaged hasn’t fully hit either of them yet. It’s still kind of strange and exciting and new to say ‘fiancé’ when they’re talking about each other, and they both kind of laugh every time they catch themselves saying it. They’ve just been taking it all in quietly. They’re both just really happy. It’s been a whirlwind, but it’s the good kind. They know how lucky they are to be in this moment together.”

Geo TV claims Kevin Costner is allegedly distressed over his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner’s upcoming wedding to Josh Connor. A source tells the outlet, “Kevin has been dreading this day as soon as Christine’s engagement to Josh Connor was announced. The more he thinks about it, the more morose he gets. He’s not fooling anyone with this new girlfriend. It obviously means he’s missing Christine – why else would he be dating a carbon copy of her? He’s fixated on the wedding and wants to know who’s going. He’s keeping tabs on it through mutual friends. He can talk the talk, but it’s clear that he misses her – and those feelings don’t go away overnight! Kevin still can’t believe this happened to him, that the most beautiful woman he’s known, in his estimation, kicked him to the curb. Those feelings of disgust and betrayal still dog him, and they’ve only gotten worse and will all come to a head with the pending wedding.’’
