This is HOLLYWOOD 411 by KEEPING TABS – let’s get into it.
VIEW CAN'T SEE MEGHAN RETURN
THE View is reportedly keeping MEGHAN MCCAIN far out of sight while making invitations for its anniversary bash! Sources say the former panelist, who clashed with cohosts and staff during her combative run, won’t be welcomed back for the show’s big celebration after years of trash-talking her old TV home.
“She’s the most horrible, biggest pain in the ass,” says one show source. “She’s a nut bag!”
McCain has endlessly blasted the daytime juggernaut as a toxic workplace and fired off fresh attacks online, so insiders say brass has zero interest in revisiting that drama. This news follows the drama last week when sources said ROSIE O’DONNELL’s return talk was grossly overstated.
THE KING IS DEAD.. NOT!
Talk about a royal blunder! A U.K. radio station sent listeners into a frenzy after falsely declaring KING CHARLES dead on air, all thanks to a staffer’s “curiosity.” In May, the Radio Caroline worker accidentally put prerecorded emergency statements about the king’s death on the air. The national anthem then played - followed by 16 minutes of eerie silence.
Horrified host BARRY MARSH quickly corrected the mistake, calling it a technical issue and profusely apologizing on air. The U.K.’s Office of Communications later ruled the incident a broadcasting breach, and the station said the employee was reprimanded. Thankfully, the king is very much alive - but there is no word whether anyone will be beheaded for the gaffe.
KATE'S SOCIAL MEDIA MELTDOWN
KATE BECKINSALE is fed up with cruel online comments about her weight! The 53-year-old Underworld actress blasted social media trolls after they flooded her posts with nasty remarks calling her “anorexic” and “on meth” and even begging her to “eat please.” Beckinsale, who says she’s battling mast cell activation syndrome and grieving the heartbreaking loss of family members, fired back that people have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes.
“You don’t want to be the last straw for somebody,” she warned, before wiping her Instagram clean. The Pearl Harbor beauty has clapped back before. In January 2025, she wrote, “Next time you feel like commenting on someone’s body, I suggest you keep it to your f**king self.”
OFFICE STAR'S HEARTBREAKING DIAGNOSIS
LUCY DAVIS has shared heartbreaking news. The beloved star of the original English version of The Office says she’s living with incurable stage 4 breast cancer. In a deeply personal Instagram post, the 53-year-old revealed the disease has spread to her bones, spine, hip and ribs, and said it’s too late for chemo. Davis urged fans not to ignore even the smallest health concerns, admitting her first lump seemed minor at the time.
The actress, who also appeared in Wonder Woman and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, said humor and honesty are helping her face what comes next. “I’m at peace with it,” she wrote, adding that she plans to keep acting and keep living as fully as she can.
BABY NEWS, A REUNION ... AND MORE!
JON HAMM is set to take on fatherhood - at 55! The Mad Men hunk’s wife, ANNA OSCEOLA, 38, is reportedly expecting the couple’s first child, with her baby bump on display at a Hamptons beach outing. Hamm once admitted kids might not be for him, but now, after tying the knot in 2023, is said to be thrilled. He met Anna when she appeared in a small role on the final episode of Mad Men.
Netflix has taken movie promotion to a new level! In a wild stunt for its sci-fi thriller The Last House, the streamer stuck a guy inside a fully furnished billboard over L.A.’s Sunset Boulevard. The robe-clad resident passed the time with books, cards and binoculars while gawkers below wondered how long he’d hold out. The setup matches the film’s plot about a family trapped in their home with dwindling resources. With no bathroom confirmed, the stunt is creating drama... and questions about whether it offers a reasonable rent.
Following years of drama, LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM and long-estranged ex band- and lifemate STEVIE NICKS are creating new rumors... about reuniting for a tour! Onetime Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey thanks an upcoming doc about the band with helping the former soulmates be willing to work together again. “The process of making that has been a very circular healing process,” he dishes. “Stevie and I are talking all the time now.”
