It’s going to be hard,” another source admits. “But she will be back. In her mom’s honor.”

New Idea magazine says Keith Urban has allegedly been exchanging late-night texts with Jennifer Lopez. A source says, “People in both their worlds are trying to play matchmaker for them. If their would-be Cupids get their way and they do end up taking their friendship to the next level, it could be a really great thing for them on so many levels. From a publicity standpoint, the fans would eat it up. And on a personal level, a fun fling seems like what they both need right now.” New Idea magazine says Colin Farrell is allegedly pursuing a romantic relationship with Nicole Kidman after years of friendship. A source reveals, “Colin never stopped crushing on her though, and his ‘unrequited love’ became a long-running joke for the six months they were filming those two films. He’ll always have a soft spot for her – she’s his dream lady and he can’t believe Keith let her get away. Colin told him back in 2016 that he was the luckiest man alive. Colin knows there’s a long line of eligible bachelors knocking down her door right now. But he’s convinced there was a spark back then and as far as he’s concerned, this is unfinished business.’’

OK! Magazine says Ben Affleck’s friends are allegedly worried about his unhealthy habits resurfacing, including his junk food indulgence and smoking. Sources reveal, “Whenever Ben is under pressure, he tends to fall back on comfort eating and endless caffeine, but this time it’s on another level. Those close to him feel the habits have crept back in so strongly that they’re starting to define his day-to-day life, which is deeply concerning. He’s chain-smoking, fueling himself with coffee from morning until night and doing almost no physical activity. At his age, it’s not something you can shrug off, and people around him can see the toll it’s starting to take.”
RadarOnline.com says Timothée Chalamet has allegedly distanced himself from the Kardashians and reality TV, despite thanking Kylie Jenner in his award speech. A source says, “Doing reality TV is a hard no for him. He thinks he’s above it. He’s not willing to help promote their brand by taking part in the show or doing a ton of cheesy photo ops. And there’s no way he would ever do some TV wedding special like her sisters have done. If Kylie wants to be with him, it’s going to be on his terms, and that means very little involvement with her family.”
RadarOnline.com says Kylie Jenner is allegedly warning Gwyneth Paltrow to keep her distance from Timothee Chalamet after feeling uncomfortable with her praising his acting and chemistry on “Marty Supreme”. A source says, “Gwyneth is gushing to everyone about what a talent Timothee is and how sexual he was when they filmed their scenes,” shared a source. “She says she finally understands what the fuss is all about – and Kylie is not taking it well at all. She’s convinced Gwyneth is crushing on Timothee and crossing the line. She says it’s disrespectful. Kylie wants Timmy to put Gwyneth in her place. Obviously, he’s not ever going to do that. Gwyneth is Hollywood royalty. It would be a disaster for his career to alienate her. And the truth is, he really likes her and all the attention she’s giving him. If anything, he encourages her flirting. It’s flattering. Timmy will be spending a ton of time with Gwyneth during awards season over the next few months and Kylie’s going to want to be right by his side. But knowing how seriously Timmy takes his career, if Kylie can’t chill out about Gwyneth, she won’t be his plus-one. He’s crazy about her but he’s not going to let her jealousy derail him.”
‘’Deadpool and Wolverine’’ director Sean Levy tells Entertainment Weekly that Taylor Swift was never going to be in the movie. “It was never a conversation. It was never even a seed of a discussion. Obviously, Ryan [Reynolds] and Blake [Lively], and myself, to a far lesser extent, have our own relationships in real life with Taylor. But, yeah, those rumors were loud and slightly baffling, but nothing I said or did was going to make them quiet down until this movie came out.” I definitely had moments where I was worried I would disappoint people when they realized Taylor as Dazzler was not in the movie, but there’s no controlling the internet and rumors spread like wildfire.”
