This is HOLLYWOOD 411 by KEEPING TABS – let’s get into it.
JACLYN'S ANGEL ANGUISH
JACLYN SMITH was desperate to say goodbye to her beloved Charlie’s Angels costar FARRAH FAWCETT - but a devastating family crisis kept her from the funeral. When Farrah died from cancer in 2009 at 62, Jaclyn was at her mother’s hospital bedside in Houston. Her mom insisted she fly to Los Angeles, even getting her doctor’s blessing.
But moments after Jaclyn landed, tragedy struck again: her mother had “taken a turn for the worse.” “Immediately, I turned around and flew right back to Houston,” Jaclyn recalls in her new memoir. Farrah’s final years had already broken Jaclyn’s heart. “It was hard watching my dear friend struggle for her life,” she wrote. Jaclyn later called her mother’s death “the most traumatic experience of my life.”
TRAGIC REINER'S TOO-LATE EMMY!
ROB REINER scored a stunning final encore - winning a posthumous Emmy nine months after he and wife MICHELE were slaughtered in their California home. The 78-year-old actor-director took home Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for playing restaurateur Albert Schnurr on The Bear, beating stars including MICHAEL J. FOX and CHRISTOPHER MCDONALD. Presenter WENDI MCLENDON-COVEY accepted the trophy as the audience erupted in a tearful standing ovation.
The victory also smashed an Emmy record: Reiner’s 48-year gap between acting wins eclipsed the 37-year mark set by his father, CARL REINER. Rob’s son Nick has been charged in connection with the couple’s deaths and has pleaded not guilty. Now Rob’s final TV honors have given grieving fans one more reason to miss a Hollywood giant.
NICOLE LONELY WITH OSCAR
NICOLE KIDMAN should have been on top of the world the night she won her Oscar in 2003 - but behind the dazzling smile was heartbreaking loneliness! After taking home the Best Actress trophy for The Hours, the star went home without a partner to share her triumph with. “I had the pinnacle of my success, and I went home and was so lonely,” she confessed.
Kidman, who had split from hubby TOM CRUISE two years earlier, remembered staring at Hollywood’s ultimate prize and thinking, “Where’s my partner, someone that I can share this with?” The moment hit hard. “I’ve got to get a life,” she recalled thinking. Despite reaching the peak of her career, Kidman admitted she was “so grateful and yet so lonely.”
TOM BOMBS VOICE TREATMENT
TOM JONES has been left singing the blues after reportedly being blindsided by a major demotion on The Voice UK! The 86-year-old legend has been a fan favorite since the singing showdown launched in 2012 – but with singer CHERYL and rapper AITCH reportedly joining WILL.I.AM and KELLY ROWLAND, insiders say there simply “wasn’t a seat” for him.
Now producers are discussing a smaller role for the It’s Not Unusual superstar, who still “adores the show” and wants to discover new talent. And Tom knows the sting of a Voice snub all too well! After being axed in 2016, he recalled: “To say I was shocked is to put it mildly.” But the real shock? “The way they did it.” ITV insists it “absolutely loves” Tom and hopes he’ll return.
REHAB RETURN, HEALTH SHOCK ... AND MORE!
EMINEM’s troubled ex-wife, KIM MATHERS, has reportedly left jail and entered rehab after a judge revoked her bond amid a string of alleged violations. Mathers, 51, was arrested after a July confrontation at her Michigan home, where police responding to a suspected suicide attempt said she became “irate and combative.” After a previous rehab stay, Mathers vowed she was “clean.” Now facing three criminal cases, she must continue treatment while awaiting an Oct. 14 court date.
NFL legend BRETT FAVRE has fans fearing the worst after a video appeared to show the Parkinson’s-stricken QB struggling to speak! The Green Bay Packers icon, 56, who revealed his diagnosis in 2024, recorded a message for fans in Mexico - and viewers were alarmed. He seemed to slur and stumble over his words. Favre has revealed his form of the disease causes rigidity and stiffness. “There’s no cure,” he admitted.
LORI LOUGHLIN is slamming the door on her 28-year marriage. The Full House star, 62, filed for divorce from fashion designer MOSSIMO GIANNULLI, 63, after separating in August 2025. Friends have been “rallying behind her,” one source claims, because “they do not like him.” Another says the two were never the same after the college admissions scandal and prison sentences, saying, “They’re in very different places right now.”
