Plus, JD Vance’s conversion controversy sparks outrage while 'The View' braces for fireworks as MTG takes a seat at the table: 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: Tapper Eyes CBS Gig Under Weiss — Says Next Gen Is 'More Conservative'
Jake Tapper may be plotting his great cable-to-network crossover – and CBS could be his next stop.
The 56-year-old CNN anchor raised eyebrows after hinting Gen Z is “a lot more conservative” than people think, claiming it’s a backlash to “progressive politics being forced down their throats in school.”
“I think it’s a reaction to Gen Xers and Millennials,” Tapper said, adding movements like Black Lives Matter and #MeToo “failed to achieve what they wanted.” Critics instantly accused him of auditioning for CBS’s new boss, Bari Weiss, who’s overhauling the network after her $150 million takeover. “Tapper’s shooting for that CBS job,” one viewer quipped.
As Weiss reportedly declared “Let’s do the f------ news,” staffers rolled their eyes – and some say Tapper’s already angling for a front-row seat.
Vance Blasted as 'Hinduphobic' After Urging Wife Usha to Convert
JD Vance is facing serious backlash for oversharing about his wife’s faith.
At a Turning Point USA event, the vice president said he hopes his Indian-born wife, Usha, will “embrace Christianity” one day, calling her “agnostic or atheist” despite her Hindu upbringing.
“As I’ve told her... I honestly do wish that,” he told a crowd of… 10,000.
Critics called him “the biggest hypocrite of them all,” pointing out their Vedic wedding and son named Vivek. Others mocked his claim of respecting her “free will.”
Vance also admitted he’s raised his voice at Usha while praising the late Charlie Kirk for never doing so – leaving some to wonder if he’s confusing faith with foot-in-mouth syndrome.
The View to Host Trump Ally After Backlash Over Few Conservative Guests
The View is about to get fiery – Marjorie Taylor Greene is coming to the table.
Whoopi Goldberg announced the controversial booking yesterday, saying, “I’m happy to say that (Marjorie Taylor Greene) is gonna be here on Tuesday,” adding they all agree the shutdown “should not be affecting the American people.”
The invite follows the hosts’ complaints that GOP figures keep dodging them. Joy Behar even joked, “They’re scared of us,” saying Republican men “are afraid of powerful women.”
Greene confirmed on X, “I look forward to joining the ladies on The View on Tuesday!”
But critics weren’t thrilled – one wrote, “MTG’s move to the left is complete,” while another mocked, “Marjorie Taylor Greene on The View? Liz Cheney 2.0 incoming.” Guess we’ll see!
EXCLUSIVE: Cruise's Big Scientology Bash Sparks Explosive Feud — & May Be Canceled
Tom Cruise’s biggest Scientology bash might be hitting turbulence… and not just from his helicopter.
KEEPING TABS can reveal this weekend’s lavish Patron’s Ball at Scientology HQ in East Grinstead is teetering on the brink after the Church built a 70,000-square-foot party tent – without permission. The local council has denied its development certificate and is now “seeking legal advice,” while furious locals fume over “mile-long tailbacks” and “Tom Cruise flying in on his helicopter.”
Former Scientologist Alexander Barnes-Ross slammed the “mammoth marquee” for trashing wildlife and peace in the quiet Sussex town. But the Church fired back, calling him an “expelled serial harasser” waging an “anti-religious vendetta.”
If the council cracks down, Cruise’s biggest night could go from Mission: Gala Possible to Mission: Shut Down.
EXCLUSIVE: Longtime RHONJ Star Confirms Exit — 'Starting a New Journey'
Jennifer Aydin has officially said “thank you, next” to The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
“I can confirm that they have not told me anything, and by the looks of it, I would agree that I won’t be back,” Aydin told KEEPING TABS, adding she’s “starting a new journey” with her podcast TV Gold. “And that’s exactly what it’s gonna be – gold!”
Insiders say the franchise itself is also in limbo. After test filming with Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, and others, producers were “not overly thrilled” and are “back to square one.” With Teresa Giudice trying to “make peace” with her brother Joe and sister-in-law Melissa – and half the cast feuding – Bravo still doesn’t know how to move forward.
For now, the only sure thing in Jersey? Jennifer’s out, and the drama’s on pause.
Prince Andrew Probed by Private Firm Over Epstein-Linked 'Sex Assault' Claims
Prince Andrew’s Epstein scandal just got darker – a British anti-monarchy group is pushing a private prosecution accusing him of “sexual assault, corruption, and misconduct in public office.”
The 65-year-old Duke, who vehemently denies assaulting Virginia Giuffre when she was 17, is once again under the microscope. Republic CEO Graham Smith blasted officials for “looking the other way,” calling it “a devastating indictment on the UK’s justice system.” He vowed, “The truth must prevail and justice must be seen to be done.”
Adding insult to injury, Andrew was recently “found guilty” in a TV mock trial – where a jury ruled 10 to 2 that he’s a “liability to the royal family.” Even Buckingham Palace can’t spin that verdict…
EXCLUSIVE: Broke Biden! Ex-Prez Struggles as Gigs Flop & Hunter's Bills Soar
Joe Biden’s post-presidency cash dreams are said to be crashing… hard.
The 82-year-old’s speaking career is flopping as Democrats and donors snub him after his failed reelection bid. While ex-presidents like Bill Clinton made $100 million on the circuit, Biden’s reported $500,000 fee is a hard sell – especially since he’s “barely managed more than a blank stare” at past gigs.
One group even made him fly commercial to save cash. “It’s embarrassing,” a party insider said. Meanwhile, Joe’s juggling Hunter’s legal bills, rising property taxes, and hefty mortgages. “Joe’s arrogance not only cost Democrats the White House,” another insider quipped. “It cost him the chance to cash in on his presidency.”
Even his presidential library plans are in shambles… one ex-donor joked it’ll be “a bookmobile, if that.”
