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: Jane Suspected Abuse of Michael’s Chimp Bubbles
Primate legend Jane Goodall once admitted she “ticked” off Michael Jackson when she confronted him about fears his famous chimp Bubbles was being “beaten and abused.”
Goodall, who died of natural causes at 91 on Wednesday while on a U.S. speaking tour, became a household name thanks to her groundbreaking chimp research. It was no shock Jackson sought her help when Bubbles began lashing out at Neverland.
“I ticked him off. I went to see him to talk about Bubbles. When he was with Michael Jackson, he was being beaten!” Goodall later claimed. Sources said she urged Jackson to hire a new trainer and adopt more chimps, but “Michael didn’t take her advice.”
LaToya Jackson’s ex Jack Gordon even alleged he saw Jackson punch and kick Bubbles, with the star reportedly saying, “He doesn’t feel it… I have to discipline him.”
The real Thriller? Bubbles’ survival story.
Pals Say Blake Knew of Keith ‘Cheating’ Before Nicole
Nicole Kidman’s $325 million divorce from Keith Urban has exploded into a full-on country music scandal – with friends whispering Blake Shelton knew the “cheating” chatter before she did.
Sources say Nicole’s camp is “convinced” Keith’s industry friends were aware of the gossip, but no one warned her. “Nicole feels blindsided not just by Keith but by the silence of the whole group. She can’t understand how no one gave her even a hint – not Blake (Shelton), not anyone,” an insider spilled.
The actress, 58, filed for divorce October 1, after hearing persistent Nashville rumors of “another woman.” One source added: “Nicole wanted to fight for them, but Keith had already checked out – and she knew why.”
“She’s not naïve. She heard the stories, she saw the signs. At some point, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.” In Nashville… it seems the only thing louder than the music were the secrets.
Eric ‘Struggles to Speak’ as Wheelchair-bound Star’s Decline Stuns Pals
Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane’s health has taken a heartbreaking turn – with pals revealing the 52-year-old is now in a wheelchair and “struggles to speak.”
The ALS-stricken actor was spotted looking frail at a Washington, D.C. airport as an aide pushed him through the terminal, sparking new fears for his future. Eric has admitted he’s “worried about my legs,” and when asked what he’d say to fans hoping he’s okay, he rasped: “Keep the faith, man.”
A source revealed: “This diagnosis has been devastating… it just keeps getting worse and is very sad, but Eric is trying to put on as much of a brave face as possible.”
The star previously said he has only “one functioning arm,” confessing: “It’s sobering.” Now, friends fear the decline may be moving even faster than expected.
EXCLUSIVE: Teresa Weighs Making Peace With Melissa & Joe Amid RHONJ Future Uncertainty
Teresa Giudice may finally be ready to bury the hatchet with brother Joe Gorga and sister-in-law Melissa – shocking RHONJ fans by admitting, “Never say never.”
During Jeff Lewis’ SiriusXM show, Teresa surprised listeners when asked about coexisting with Melissa, Joe, and Margaret Josephs. While some insisted it was a “desperate” ploy to save her Bravo spot, Teresa fired back on her Turning the Tables podcast: “That’s not the case… It’s like an olive branch. Now I’m just saying, ‘Never say never.’ That’s it. I’m just saying my door is cracked open.”
An insider tells KEEPING TABS she’s sincere, explaining her Special Forces stint and how daughter Gia pushed her toward peace. Still, questions loom: test filming reportedly happened without her, and her RHONJ future “hasn’t been decided yet.”
As Teresa herself says: “God’s rejection is God’s protection.”
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: Dog the Bounty Hunter’s Son Fired After Fatal Teen Crash
Dog the Bounty Hunter’s youngest son, Garry Chapman, has been booted from the Priceville, Ala., police department after a deadly car chase left one teen dead and others critically injured.
Chapman, who joined the force in 2023, was pursuing a suspected DUI driver when the man’s car slammed into a vehicle of teens, killing 17-year-old Tristan Hollis and injuring others. Priceville Mayor Sam Heflin confirmed Chapman’s firing, saying: “For reasons important to the protection of employee due process and fairness, it is the policy of the City of Priceville not to comment on pending personnel matters.”
Chapman plans to appeal at an October 13 hearing. His lawyer, Scott Morro, defended him: “Garry followed the law, and he followed the policy. We hope the City Council… will recognize that Chapman is an asset to their city and not a detriment.”
Looks like Chapman’s toughest chase yet is through City Hall.
Diddy Denied! Judge Nixes His Bid for New Trial as He Braces for 20 Years
Sean “Diddy” Combs just got slammed with a brutal courtroom blow – his last shot at a new trial was tossed, leaving the disgraced rapper, 55, staring down a Friday, October 3 sentencing on two felony prostitution counts.
Judge Arun Subramanian shot down his “amateur porn” defense, ruling the charges “fall within the statutory definition” and writing: “The correct definition of prostitution in the Mann Act is sex in exchange for money or its equivalent.” Prosecutors are demanding at least 11 years, calling Combs “unrepentant.”
His team begged for mercy, detailing “inhumane” jail conditions where “food sometimes contains maggots” and he’s “not breathed fresh air in nearly 13 months,” while touting he’s sober “for the first time in 25 years.”
His mom Janice, 85, even pleaded: “I appeal to the kindness of your heart… I don’t know how much longer I will be around.” Diddy once ran the charts… now he’s running out of time.
Candace Alleges Cover-Up in Kirk Assassin Case: ‘Feds Lying About Everything’
Candace Owens is throwing gasoline on the fire surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination case.
The outspoken pundit blasted the feds with wild new claims about suspect Tyler Robinson – insisting the 22-year-old was “bewildered when he learned about bullet carvings.” Owens admitted the gun belonged to Robinson’s family but said he’s “not exactly a gun enthusiast.”
She further questioned the authenticity of alleged texts with his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, claiming Robinson “was not the author of them” and doesn’t even use words like “vehicle.”
“Tyler Robinson is not suicidal,” she declared, slamming reports that his father turned him in as “complete fiction.” Owens doubled down: “To the contrary, Tyler Robinson maintains his innocence and has never even been to the UVU campus… The federal government is lying about absolutely everything other than the fact that it is his gun.”
If she’s right, the feds will have more explaining to do than Robinson.
Leaked Texts Show Trump Begging Oregon to ‘Get Your State in Order’
Donald Trump went off the rails on Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in a fiery leaked text exchange.
The president begged her to “get your state in order,” raging: “The ICE Facility in Portland was attacked again last night… it, and other Federal Buildings, are being attacked on a nightly basis. We can’t have this. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP.”
But Kotek clapped back: “… I believe this is unlawful and unwarranted. You broke your promise to speak with me before taking further action against Portland.”
Trump doubled down, blasting: “They attacked our ICE Patriots last night, and at other times… Portland has been an unmitigated disaster for years. I won’t let that happen in America! President DJT.”
Looks like Portland isn’t the only thing under attack… so is Trump’s text history.
