Tom Brady’s dog Lua died in 2023, but her spirit lives on in his new dog, Junie.  So does Lua’s DNA.  But not because Junie is Lua’s child.  She’s her CLONE. Brady worked with a company called Colossal Biosciences to have Lua cloned.  And he’s not just a client.  He’s also an investor. I wonder if they can use that technology to save endangered species.

Fox has a new celebrity game show in the works called “Nation’s Dumbest”.  It comes with a twist:  The losers are the winners. Celebrities will compete to get kicked off as quickly as possible so they aren’t crowned the nation’s dumbest. The goal isn’t to win, it’s to get eliminated. The show’s contestants will include a mix of all types of “celebrity” like influencers, comedians, and even politicians.  They will be put to the test with both physical and mental challenges about things everyone should already know. It’s actually already a popular Scandinavian series, so this will be the U.S. version.

Miranda Lambert’s Pink Pistol boutique is for women only.  But they do have one thing for men . . . the credit card machine. If you didn’t know, the Pink Pistol is in Lindale, Texas and is located on Miranda Lambert Way.  It opened back in 2016, and it’s packed with all things Miranda.  The store’s website says it has “unique gifts” and “funky finds.” Miranda’s dad just made a funny cameo in one of their videos.  He said, “I’m here in the Pink Pistol, but where’s the men’s section?”  Then the camera pans to the cashier, who holds up the credit card reader and says: “It’s right here.”

Riley Green tells CountryNow.com that even though he’s grateful for his life on the road, sometimes he finds himself just “dragging my feet” because his schedule is so relentless. “I’m so grateful for the life that I live, but with such a packed schedule, always having someplace to be or something to do, … I find myself dragging my feet on the way to these events, unable to even enjoy these kind of dream-come-true moments.”

Heat World says Tom Cruise is allegedly heartbroken after breaking up with Ana De Armas. A source reveals, ‘He’s very upset and can’t wrap his head round the idea that things didn’t work out between them. He’s trying to deny this has hurt him but it’s obvious that at one point, he saw Ana as a future life partner. Now he’s been venting to friends and nitpicking all of Ana’s supposed faults. But he’s clearly trying to make himself feel better because his pride has taken a huge knock. Everyone’s walking on eggshells around him right now because he’s so on edge. One minute he’s saying he’s better off and it’s Ana’s loss and then the next he’s complaining that he’ll never meet anyone worthy of him. Tom’s the kind of person who likes structure, so when things in his personal life fall apart, he’s extra controlling at work. He’s now using it to escape this heartbreak, so there’s really no rest for anyone in his orbit.’

Parker McCollum was doing a recent interview with Southern Living magazine when he said he misses his hometown when he’s out on tour. “Conroe was great. I miss it all the time. When I lived there growing up, I couldn’t wait to get out, now all I want to do is go back. It’s kind of funny how that works out.”

PerezHilton.com says Nicole Kidman and Lenny Kravitz might be rekindling their romance from the early 2000s. A source says, “They have a lot of history, and by all accounts, their chemistry has never gone away. They were genuinely in love. Even though it fell apart, they didn’t end on bad terms. Lenny and Nicole are in touch, and Lenny wants to find his soulmate. It just makes sense to give it another whirl.”

Tucker Wetmore tells GRAMMY.com magazine that he fell in love with music at a very young age. “I fell in love with music at a very young age, I just didn’t ever think that was a possible outcome for my life. I thought it was kind of like a fairy tale.”

Geo TV says Tom Cruise allegedly considered Keith Urban to be Nicole Kidman’s rebound after their divorce. An insider reveals, “Tom took so much grief from Nicole and her Hollywood cronies when they first divorced, so he’ll never forget or forgive how villainised he was and in some ways that far reaching perception haunts him to this day. That is partly why he’s following the divorce news closely and a part of him feels badly for her, since he knows how much she’s hurting. But at the same time he’s also allowing himself a little pat on the back and telling people close to him that this is karma doing its thing to a large degree. Tom says he has always believed Keith was a rebound who fit the image Nicole wanted to project. And now that Nicole and Keith are divorcing and all the messy details are getting out, it’s pretty clear Tom was right.’’

PopCulture.com says Hilaria Baldwin is doubling down on her claim that “bullying” and a social media campaign led to her Dancing With the Stars exit. She says, “They’re gonna vote for all the couples besides me, or besides X person. So that suppresses your fan vote. It was because they were reaching out to everybody to do it. You open TikTok, you’re like, ‘Oh my God, this is like this sad’. It hurts your feelings. I don’t care. I’ll be the person who’s crying in front of the world because I’m gonna show my humanity. Some people are gonna like that and some people are gonna make fun of me more for that.”

Lainey Wilson was recently doing an interview with Glamour magazine when she said she loves her family, bonfires and being real. “FaceTiming with my nephews, that’ll keep you real humble. … I love bonfires, I love having a glass of whiskey, talking to the Lord, getting grounded, meditating.”

The Star says Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are in their honeymoon phase.

She’s not a clingy person, and she can walk away if her needs aren’t being met.’’

The Star says Justin Timberlake is allegedly eager to revitalize his movie career after a recent slump. A source reveals, “Justin hasn’t had a movie hit in years and he’s desperate to change that. Justin still thinks he has massive, blockbuster style hit left in him, and it’s just a matter of leveraging his 20 years of movie business contacts. But he’s not going to get hired because people feel sorry for him and the cold streak he’s been on. Audiences have decided they don’t need more Justin Timberlake movies and it’s on Justin to change their minds and remind them, any way he can, that he’s still somebody worth watching.”

The Globe says Portia de Rossi, known for “Ally McBeal” and “Arrested Development,” is allegedly ready to return to TV after a seven-year break as Ellen DeGeneres’ housewife.  A source close to the couple says Ellen isn’t keen on the idea. “Ellen is not happy about the idea of Portia going off for five months to act on a streaming show. The makers of The White Lotus understand that. The previous seasons have all been filmed at luxury resorts where the actors, if they want to, can bring along their loved ones for what amounts to a free vacation. People think Ellen was the one who coaxed Portia to put her acting career on hold, but that’s not accurate. Portia was the one who decided to step back from acting. Portia is her own woman and makes her own decisions, and when the right acting opportunity comes along for her, she doesn’t need Ellen’s permission to say ‘yes.’”

Jackson Dean tells CMT that his rural Maryland roots helped shape who he is today. “This part of the world is small-town USA. The only thing we don’t have is desert and rainforest. … I felt like they were trying to emphasize me being in the woods and all that, which I understand. But I don’t think they know how I get fire from it.”

Radar Online claims Jennifer Aniston is allegedly planning a destination wedding with boyfriend Jim Curtis in Greece.  A source shares, “She wants a wedding where they’re surrounded by ancient ruins and beautiful natural landscapes.
