EXCLUSIVE: 'Definitive Proof' Ultra-Paranoid Vladimir Putin Uses a String of Body Doubles to Dodge Assassination Attempts
Plus, Melissa Gilbert deletes IG after Timothy Busfield’s arrest while Meghan Markle fuels royal return buzz: 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: 'Proof' Putin Uses Body Doubles to Evade Assassination
Vladimir Putin may be starring in the world’s most dangerous game of spot the difference.
According to former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove, the paranoid Russian strongman allegedly uses body doubles to dodge assassination threats as the Ukraine war drags on. Dearlove insists the move is basic survival for a leader in Putin’s position, saying: “There will be occasions, and it would depend on the circumstances, when he certainly, for security reasons, would have a body double.”
He added: “It’s almost a normal security measure for somebody like Putin, who is a very high-profile target. Bear in mind that assassination has been a pretty common part of Russian politics for many, many years.”
The plot thickened after Japanese broadcaster TBS ran AI facial scans on Putin appearances – and got shocking mismatch scores as low as 18 percent. Their verdict? “Experts on face recognition would refer to this as ‘not matching’ in most cases, which leads us to the assumption this could be a double.”
The Kremlin denies it – but the cameras don’t lie… and neither, apparently, do the clones.
EXCLUSIVE: Melissa Breaks Cover After Husband Timothy's Arrest
Instagram vanished faster than a frontier house in a tornado.
KEEPING TABS can reveal Melissa Gilbert quietly pulled the plug on her social media just as her husband Timothy Busfield became the focus of a jaw-dropping child sex abuse investigation. The Little House on the Prairie star deleted her account days after New Mexico authorities issued an arrest warrant accusing Busfield of inappropriate conduct involving two child actors on The Cleaning Lady.
Cops initially said Busfield was “missing” before he turned himself in – while insisting he’s innocent. Investigators allege he grew unusually close to the boys, told them to call him “Uncle Tim,” and touched them despite their discomfort, with one child later reporting nightmares “about the director touching him.”
Busfield denied wrongdoing, saying: “I don’t remember overtly tickling the boys ever, but it wouldn’t be uncommon for me.” Studios responded: “The health and safety of our cast and crew is always our top priority, especially the safety of minors on our productions.”
Now? Melissa’s left behind just one final message: “Profile isn't available.”
EXCLUSIVE: Meghan's Move Sparks 'Return to Royal Family' Rumors
Meghan Markle may be packing her bags – and royal watchers say the timing is anything but innocent.
The Duchess of Sussex is poised to return to Britain for the first time in four years, with insiders telling us the move is fueling talk of a carefully choreographed royal comeback alongside Prince Harry. Meghan is expected to join him in London this summer for an Invictus Games event – assuming his security review clears the way.
One source spilled: “Harry is mounting a major bid to worm his way back into the royal family,” adding Meghan’s presence is no coincidence. Another claimed reality has hit hard in California, saying: “Word is they both would prefer an easier life back in the folds of The Firm after seeing the realities of trying to get projects like Meghan’s lifestyle brand off the ground.”
But forgiveness won’t come cheap. The same insider warned Meghan will need to return “with a massive begging bowl in hand” if she wants back in.
In royal terms, that’s less a visit… and more a trial run.
SATC Feud: Chris Takes Swipe at SJP After Golden Globes Win
Chris Noth just flexed – and not just his biceps.
The disgraced Sex and the City alum took a thinly veiled swipe at former co-star Sarah Jessica Parker just days after she was honored with a major Golden Globes award. Posting a sweaty gym selfie, Noth fired off: “F--k new years – LETS GO!!!!!” – prompting one commenter to jab back: “You mean f--- SJP & her award, right? lol.”
Noth’s blunt reply? “Right.”
The icy moment comes years after Parker and her castmates publicly distanced themselves following sexual assault allegations against Noth, saying: “We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth.” Noth denied the claims, insisting: “The accusations against me… are categorically false.”
Meanwhile, Parker was celebrating decades of SATC legacy – while her former leading man appeared to be lifting weights and grudges.
Talk about a breakup scene that never ends.
Kirk Assassination Bombshell: Prosecutors Urge Judge to Reject Accused Killer's Motion
The accused killer of Charlie Kirk is trying a bold courtroom gambit – booting the entire prosecution team over a teenager’s text messages.
Alleged assassin Tyler Robinson wants Utah County prosecutors disqualified, claiming a conflict after the adult child of one prosecutor attended the Turning Point USA event where Kirk was killed. Defense lawyers argue that family link creates an “emotional connection” that could push the state toward seeking death.
Prosecutors aren’t buying it.
“(The attorney) has no personal conflict of interest because his (child) is neither a material witness nor a victim in the case,” they shot back, adding the teen knew only hearsay. Texts show panic, not insight – “SOMEONE GOT SHOT” followed by “I’m okay, everyone is going inside.”
Meanwhile, Robinson hasn’t entered a plea and has unnerved observers with his calm demeanor in court. Prosecutors still plan to seek death – backed by chilling alleged messages like: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk, and I’m going to take it.”
In other words: the defense cries conflict – the state says case closed.
Pentagon Accused of Using 'Disguised Plan' in Strike That Killed 11 — 'War Crime' Claim
A mystery plane, a deadly strike, and whispers of a war crime – this one reads like a geopolitical thriller.
Fresh accusations claim the U.S. crossed a dangerous line by allegedly using a disguised military aircraft to strike a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean, killing 11 people. The New York Times reports the plane was painted to look civilian – a move critics say could qualify as illegal “perfidy.”
“Shielding your identity is an element of perfidy,” warned retired Maj. Gen. Steven J. Lepper. “If the aircraft flying above is not identifiable as a combatant aircraft, it should not be engaged in combatant activity.”
Even more chilling: survivors reportedly waved for help before a second strike. The Pentagon insists everything was lawful, saying, “The U.S. military utilizes a wide array of standard and nonstandard aircraft depending on mission requirements.”
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was blunt: “Narco-terrorists and drug traffickers are on notice.”
Critics aren’t convinced… and the fallout is only getting louder.
