EXCLUSIVE: Inside Brigitte Bardot's Will — How 'Sex Kitten' is Dividing Up Her $65 Million Fortune Between Animals & Her Only Son
Plus, JD Vance quietly jumps into MAGA power plays while Harry & Meghan lose a key aide: RADAR'S KEEPING TABS
Signals are coming in hot — but don’t stress, we’re Keeping Tabs. Here’s the latest buzz and gossip that’s shaking up the conversation today…
EXCLUSIVE: Brigitte's $65M Shock Split — Animals vs. Her Only Son
She shocked the world with her curves – now she’s doing it with her cash.
Brigitte Bardot has divided her estimated $65 million fortune between the animals she adored and her only son, Nicolas-Jacques Charrier, KEEPING TABS can reveal. The And God Created Woman icon died at 91 on December 28 in Saint-Tropez, ending a life that rewrote sex appeal – then walked away from Hollywood entirely to fight for animals.
Sources say the split was crystal clear. One insider told us: “Brigitte was absolutely clear – her money should serve the animals she dedicated her life to and ensure her son is secure. She felt those two things were her true family.” Another added: “She believed that compassion was the real legacy worth passing on, in terms of both the animals and the son she spent her life loving.”
Her fortune swelled from royalties and prized properties like La Madrague, but French law guaranteed her son a share regardless.
Bardot’s last act proves she exited exactly how she lived – fierce, defiant, and impossible to cage.
Royal Turmoil: Harry & Meghan Rocked as Key Aide Quits Archewell
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are watching the Archewell revolving door spin again – and this exit stings.
The Sussexes have lost their longest-serving aide, with James Holt stepping down as executive director of the embattled Archewell Foundation. Holt confirmed the move, saying, “After five incredible years in Los Angeles, it’s time for my family to return to London,” adding, “When I pass the baton to the team leading Archewell Philanthropies in the coming months, I’ll do so with immense pride and optimism for what lies ahead.” Harry and Meghan praised his “stellar support” and said he’ll still guide overseas humanitarian trips.
The bombshell lands days after comms chief Meredith Maines also quit, declaring, “I will be pursuing a new opportunity in 2026.” That makes 11 PR exits in five years, amid claims “Everyone’s terrified of Meghan” and she “marches around like a dictator in high heels.”
Archewell’s mission is charity – but the staff turnover is pure royal chaos. 👑
Inside JD Vance's Effort to Save Trump and Musk
When MAGA’s bromance blew up, JD Vance grabbed the referee whistle… and quietly started eyeing the throne.
Vance has been playing behind-the-scenes peacekeeper between feuding former pals Donald Trump and Elon Musk, all while laying early groundwork for a potential 2028 presidential run.
After Trump and Musk’s friendship blew up over a blocked NASA nomination, online shots at Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Epstein-file chaos, and Musk’s threat to launch an “America Party,” Vance quietly stepped in – lobbying insiders, smoothing egos, and helping secure Jared Isaacman’s NASA confirmation.
A staff shake-up even “made it easier for everyone to go back to liking each other.” Now Musk’s back flirting with GOP politics – and Vance is openly admitting he’s thought about 2028.
In MAGA land, today’s peacemaker might be tomorrow’s president.
Romy Seen for First Time on Birthday After Parents' Murders
From Hollywood royalty to heartbreak beachside – Romy Reiner’s birthday came wrapped in grief.
Romy, the daughter of slain director Rob Reiner and producer Michele Singer Reiner, has been spotted for the first time since her parents’ horrific murders. The 28-year-old marked her birthday quietly at a beach house, surrounded by family and boyfriend Alex Silberberg, just weeks after she made the devastating discovery at her parents’ Brentwood home.
As Romy grieves – and grapples with her brother being charged in the killings – loved ones have closed ranks. Insiders say her older brother Jake has taken on a protective role, explaining: “It’s an enormous burden, but he’s the oldest, and he sees it as his duty.” Another source added, “His motto is ‘family first.’”
Privately, Romy is said to be “hanging by a thread.”
Perry's Lawyer Slams $77M Lawsuit as 'Money Grab Scam'
Receipts are flying in Tyler Perry’s $77M showdown.
The Madea mogul is firing back at a $77 million sexual-assault lawsuit, with lawyer Alex Spiro branding it “nothing but a $77million money grab scam” and pointing to alleged messages from accuser Mario Rodriguez that he says flip the narrative.
Spiro cites years of friendly texts after Rodriguez’s cameo as “Frat Guy #10” in Boo! A Madea Halloween – including a 2024 gush: “Just know that I love you and I thank you for everything. I appreciate you to the moon,” plus “You got my Mexican a-- out of a lot of bad places and I just wanna tell you thank you.” Other messages show money and health worries – “barely pay my bills scared af” – while Perry allegedly replied, “You don’t have to give me a thing or pay me a thing. I’m just glad you’re good.”
Perry flatly denies the allegations, including any $5,000 payout – and in this Madea-sized dustup, the screenshots may steal the scene.
Bondi Targets Obama & Biden Over 'Election-Meddling' Claims
Deflection or firestorm? Pam Bondi just lit the match.
Bondi announced the Department of Justice is probing Barack Obama and Joe Biden for what she calls a decade-long “lawfare” scheme – while critics say it conveniently shifts focus from her bruising Epstein backlash.
Bondi declared, “At my direction, our U.S. Attorneys and federal agents are actively investigating instances of government weaponization nationwide,” branding it “a ten-year stain on the country” and vowing, “Under President Trump, we are fixing the damage and delivering justice.” She doubled down: “This evidence illustrates that the FBI shielded political figures like Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton…” and insisted, “No one is above the law, even if they think they are.”
The move comes as fallout grows over heavily redacted Jeffrey Epstein files – amid polls sinking and revelations that “over a million more documents” were found.
With numbers sliding and pages blacked out, Pam’s answer is to aim higher… and louder.
