EXCLUSIVE: Dick Cheney's 'Assassination Fear' Revealed — Ex-Veep Had His Heart Defibrillator Disabled to Avoid Being Killed by Terrorists
Plus, Kim Kardashian’s acting skills fail to convince while Diddy drafts an NBA buddy in lockup: 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: How Cheney Disabled His Heart Device to Dodge Assassins
Dick Cheney lived like a man straight out of Homeland – and not just because the show literally borrowed from his life.
Long before his death at 84, the ex–Vice President had his defibrillator’s wireless function turned off out of fear terrorists could hack it to kill him. Years later, that paranoia became the blueprint for a shocking episode where a VP is assassinated via pacemaker.
“I found it credible,” Cheney admitted. “It was an accurate portrayal of what was possible.”
The real-life political bulldog who once survived five heart attacks wasn’t afraid to take on Trump, either – calling him “a coward” and “the greatest threat to our republic.”
In the end, Cheney’s heart may have been mechanical, but his drama? 100% human.
'She Cannot Act!': Kim K Slammed as 'Monotone' & 'Stiff' in New Legal Drama
Kim Kardashian’s big acting role in Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair is getting slammed – and not in court.
The 45-year-old plays high-powered lawyer Allura Grant alongside Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson, but fans weren’t buying it. “Kim Kardashian cannot act and she needs to stop touching her face,” one viewer fumed, while another added, “Lmao Kim is so monotone I can’t.”
Critics also called her casting “the worst mistake,” saying it “ruins the tone immediately.” Kim insists she “knew [her] lines” and was “super professional,” but the jury’s in: guilty of bad acting.
Still, the SKIMS mogul teased she may quit Hollywood for law, saying, “Maybe in 10 years, I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer.”
Diddy's New BFF? Rapper Spotted Strolling Prison Yard With Ex-Sports Star at NJ Lockup
Sean “Diddy” Combs just found a new “Bad Boy” behind bars – and this one used to dunk for a living.
The disgraced rapper has been spotted strolling the prison yard at New Jersey’s FCI Fort Dix with ex-NBA star Sebastian Telfair. The two Brooklyn natives have reportedly bonded while serving time – though Telfair’s nearly out the door, with just weeks left on his sentence for health care fraud. Diddy, meanwhile, is facing years more for his prostitution conviction.
“They seem to have hit it off,” an insider dished, noting Fort Dix – the “country club” of federal lockups – has housed everyone from Joe Giudice to Pharma Bro Martin Shkreli.
Call it the Fast Break to Friendship: Diddy’s building his own dream team… one prison yard at a time.
EXCLUSIVE: Denise & Charlie Back On? Inside Their Shocking Reunion
Denise Richards’ divorce drama might be giving her déjà vu – because her name’s back in the same sentence as Charlie Sheen.
As she battles estranged husband Aaron Phypers in court, whispers are swirling that the Wild Things bombshell could be rekindling something with Hollywood’s most famous bad boy. But insiders tell KEEPING TABS that’s one plot twist Denise isn’t signing up for.
“I don’t think Denise still loves Charlie, not the way she was talking about them,” a source said, adding she “loves him as the father” of their daughters Sami and Lola – and nothing more. “Think of him as her Kanye,” the insider quipped.
Meanwhile, Sheen fanned the gossip flames during a sit-down with Bill Maher, who teased Denise “still loves you.” Sheen’s smooth reply? “Love is eternal. Passion is often not.”
Translation: Denise might forgive, but she’s not relapsing.
EXCLUSIVE: Jennifer Grooms Daughter Violet for Political Stardom After Viral Speech
Jennifer Garner may have a future First Daughter-turned-President on her hands – and she knows it.
Sources say the actress is “beaming” with pride over 19-year-old Violet Affleck’s viral political moment – and quietly plotting her rise. “Jen believes Violet can go far,” spilled an insider. “She’s encouraging her behind the scenes to stand up for what she believes in. Ben’s more of a silent supporter, but Jen’s saying, ‘You go, girl.’”
After Violet’s fiery July 2024 speech before the L.A. County Board of Supervisors – where she declared, “Hi, Violet Affleck, Los Angeles resident, first-time voter,” and slammed mask bans – her mom was convinced she’s got the “it” factor for office.
“Jen’s thrilled Violet’s using her voice,” the source added. “She’s smart, passionate, and not letting fame get in the way – the girl’s a natural.” Looks like Mom’s already planning the campaign trail snacks.
EXCLUSIVE: David's Double Blow — Millie's 'Bullying' Claims Drop After Lily's Scathing Album
David Harbour’s off-screen drama is looking stranger by the day.
The actor is facing a double dose of bad press – and the timing’s raising eyebrows. Just as ex-wife Lily Allen dropped her scathing breakup album packed with alleged cheating references, co-star Millie Bobby Brown’s “bullying and harassment” complaint against Harbour suddenly resurfaced.
PR pros are calling foul. “The timing of these accusations being made public – coming just days after his ex-wife Lily Allen’s album dropped – is not accidental,” publicist Alexandria Hurley tells KEEPING TABS.
The 50-year-old star, now under scrutiny for both his past and present, is reportedly “laying low” as Netflix preps the final Stranger Things rollout.
And as one insider put it: “Instead of celebrating his big comeback, he’s stuck in a headline horror story.”
Fake News: Don Jr. Slams BBC for 'Editing' His Dad’s Capitol Riot Speech
Donald Trump Jr. is crying “fake news” across the pond.
The prez’s eldest son unleashed on the BBC after a whistleblower claimed the network “doctored” his dad’s January 6 speech. “The FAKE NEWS ‘reporters’ in the UK are just as dishonest and full of s--- as the ones here in America!!!!” he fumed on X.
According to the leaked memo, the BBC allegedly spliced Trump’s “peacefully and patriotically” line into a more fiery “fight like hell” edit for its Panorama program – sparking an uproar over bias.
UK conservatives are now demanding an investigation, calling the revelations “stark and alarming.” Meanwhile, Trump’s still stewing over his own “edited” 60 Minutes interview… proof that even when he crosses the Atlantic, he can’t escape bad cuts.
