Hayden Panettiere’s Estranged Mom ‘Pushing to Be Involved’ in Funeral After Star’s Death at 36
Plus, Tupac’s chilling ambulance words are revealed as ‘damning’ Epstein files move closer to daylight: 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…
Hayden’s Estranged Mom Pushes to Be Involved in Funeral
Hayden Panettiere’s death has reopened one of the most painful relationships in her life.
The actress died estranged from her mother, Lesley Vogel, but sources now claim Vogel is pushing to be involved in her daughter’s funeral and memorial arrangements — despite resistance from some of those closest to Panettiere.
“There are people around Hayden who believe those closest to her should be making these decisions, especially after everything that happened between Hayden and her mother,” one insider claimed. Panettiere herself recently described their relationship as overwhelmingly professional, saying: “Everything was business.”
Vogel broke her silence two days after her daughter’s death, saying the actress had “sadly lost her way” and publicly pointing the finger at Panettiere’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson, who was reportedly with her around the time of her death.
Panettiere died Sunday at 36 after traveling to South Carolina. Foul play is not suspected, and her cause of death has not been determined. Now, grief is colliding with years of unresolved family history.
Tupac’s Chilling Ambulance Words Revealed at Keffe D Trial
Even gravely wounded, Tupac Shakur allegedly wasn’t giving police a name.
Former Las Vegas cop Garry Dale told jurors he rode alongside the rapper after the 1996 drive-by shooting and tried to find out whether Shakur knew who had just opened fire on his BMW.
“He responded, ‘No, no, we’ll take care of it.’ Something like that,” Dale testified when describing the desperate ambulance ride. Shakur had been struck four times after 14 rounds were fired into the passenger side of the car.
The testimony came as Duane “Keffe D” Davis stands trial accused of masterminding the revenge attack following the MGM Grand beating of his nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson. Davis has pleaded not guilty and has never been accused of firing the fatal shots himself.
Nearly 30 years after Tupac died without publicly naming his killer, one haunting answer from that ambulance is now being heard by a jury.
‘Damning’ Epstein-Maxwell Evidence Could Be Exposed Soon
A sealed trove from Virginia Giuffre’s case may finally be headed for daylight.
Manhattan federal judge Loretta Preska has ordered previously subpoenaed material from Giuffre’s 2015 defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell to be unsealed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Preska rejected Maxwell’s “kitchen sink of objections,” ruling that remaining materials held by the government should become public, subject to redactions protecting victims.
Investigative journalist Julie K. Brown, who fought for access to records from the case, said she had been told the discovery contained “damning evidence” involving Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell and other men. The lawsuit was settled in 2017 before a jury ever heard the disputed evidence.
The files spent years behind a courtroom seal. Now, another piece of the Epstein archive could finally be dragged into public view.
EXCLUSIVE: Ivanka and Don Jr. Prove Hard to Serve in Trump’s BBC War
The BBC’s process servers have been running into the Trump family security wall.
Court documents reveal the broadcaster repeatedly tried — and failed — to personally serve subpoenas on Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner as part of President Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit against the BBC.
At Ivanka and Kushner’s Florida home, a process server was stopped at a police checkpoint and told Secret Service clearance was required. The Secret Service later said it could neither accept the subpoenas nor tell BBC lawyers how to successfully deliver them.
Don Jr. was no easier. Attempts at Trump Tower ended with security refusing access, while Trump’s lawyers allegedly declined to accept the subpoenas or help arrange service.
After months of dead ends, the BBC is now asking a federal judge to let it skip the process-server obstacle course and use alternatives such as certified mail.
EXCLUSIVE: Bill Clinton’s Memoir Branded a ‘Plea to Be Forgiven’
Bill Clinton may have revisited Monica Lewinsky for a reason far bigger than book sales.
The former president used his memoir, Citizen: My Life After the White House, to revisit the infamous question of whether he ever personally apologized to Lewinsky following their affair and the political firestorm that followed.
Clinton recalled becoming frustrated during a 2018 interview when challenged over the fact that, although he had publicly expressed regret, he had never directly spoken to Lewinsky to apologize. “I meant it then, and I mean it today,” he wrote of his broader public apology.
One source offered a harsher interpretation, claiming the passage amounted to a “remorseful plea to be forgiven” as the former president confronts his legacy.
Lewinsky, however, has already said she no longer needs an apology from Clinton — although she added that he “should wanna apologize.” Decades later, forgiveness remains something Clinton cannot award himself.
