Here we go…

We all know Donald Trump can’t really throw a good party, seeing as how he’s had SO much trouble trying to land a single A-lister for his inauguration.

But don’t worry, it sounds like his inaugural ball is going to suck just as much!

Sources have recently reached out to TMZ to reveal some deets regarding Trump’s series of inaugural balls he’s planning to host — and one of them is going to be New York City-themed, because of course it is…

We’re sure you also won’t be surprised to learn the party will include the MOST stereotypical crap ever as the Big Apple Ball, as he’s dubbed it, will be decorated with every popular NYC landmark — we’re talking cutouts of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty… you get the point.

In fact, the source even said:

“Every cliché that is New York will be front and center.”

You know, just like Donald represents every cliché that is douchebaggery and scumminess. HA!

If that’s not cheesy enough, Donald plans on using a line from a Frank Sinatra‘s New York, New York, as the central theme:

“If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere.”

UGH!

The good news is, it sounds like an AWFUL party, and we can’t imagine he’ll land any big name talent. And by “big name,” we mean people who weren’t runner-ups on a reality show or acts from literal decades ago…

Sources close to Trump’s team also opened up about the future POTUS’s commuting plans. As you know, the p*ssy grabbing troll’s wife, Melania Trump, plans to live in NYC in Trump Tower with their little one, Barron.

Apparently, Donald’s commute is going to be INSANELY quick, as the insider revealed:

“He can leave the Oval, drive to National [Airport], fly to LaGuardia, drive to Trump Tower and take the elevator to his penthouse in an hour.”

An hour?!

The sources went on to add that the 70-year-old isn’t just flying back and forth because Melania and Barron will be there… it’s because Trump Tower and New York still feel like home.

While the travel time is great knowing the President-elect will be able to get back to Washington D.C. quickly, the fact that his family is staying in New York is VERY troubling! Because after all the extra security measures that have to be put in place, Trump’s fam will be costing the city about $ 1 MILLION a day!

While the city will likely be reimbursed some of that money, the living situation is still unprecedented and taxpayers will basically be making up the rest of the cost. So yay.

What are your thoughts on Trump’s AWFUL sounding party and commuting plans??

As we reported, after months of speculation, sources confirmed Amber Rose and Dancing With The Stars hunk Val Chmerkovskiy are officially a couple!

Some sad stories really do have a happy ending.

Last month, Beyoncé‘s songwriter, Diana Gordon, revealed she had found her long-lost brother, David, after he had been missing for 16 years!

The songstress explained on a GoFundMe page that, on December 19, she had discovered her sibling alive and homeless at a bus stop in Los Angeles.

The 28-year-old wrote:

“You see, after the first decade went by, I lost hope of ever finding him. These last few years, I accepted the fact that we were never going to find him. In my heart I had put him to rest.”

The Sorry writer was also shocked to find him in California, considering it was across the country from their childhood home in New York:

“Los Angeles has a population of nearly 10 million people. How is it that he was sitting alone at a bus stop less than a few miles from my home? Also we are all from New York, so it is a surprise to find him here.”

The “Becky with the good hair” lyricist recalled that David didn’t recognize her when she approached him, and realized he had developed mental health issues, adding:

“As I continued to talk to him, I quickly realized my brother who had once built computers and gadgets out of spare parts has suffered severely in ways I have only begun to understand. His memory is fragmented. His spirit defeated. He has only had his own thoughts to comfort him during this long stretch of time and because of that, a form of mental illness has set in.”

David is the oldest of Diana’s five siblings, and would earn money for their family by helping out at the supermarket, even before he was old enough to actually get a job.

Miz Gordon contacted her family to share the good news, and even convinced her brother to stay at her home:

“After showing him some old photographs of us in my phone and FaceTiming my sisters in New York, I convinced him to come back with me to my house with the promise of a warm bed and food. He was hesitant, thinking it was a trick. He is not used to any sort of kindness.”

After calling hospitals, counselors, and social workers, Diana learned what needs to be done to give her sibling the help he needs, and has turned to the crowdfunding site to raise money for medical care, psychiatric help, and assisted living.

You can see a sweet snap she posted of their incredible reunion (below):

She even threw him a birthday party a few days later!

We’re so glad these two were reunited!

Amber Heard has sent her lawyers back on the attack of Johnny Depp’s estate, after feeling like she was screwed in the original deal.

The original deal had Johnny Depp pay $ 7M in cash to Heard which he did almost immediately, and Amber was satisfied, and signed the paperwork after their 1 year rocky relationship.

Johnny’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, says Amber’s move is “a blatant attempt to extend her fifteen minutes of fame” and “an embarrassing grab for additional and unwarranted attorney’s fees.” Amber is also asking to reopen the $ 7 million settlement.

This is not the first time Amber has been a total nut job, as during the original proceedings, she tried to accuse Johnny of abuse, then refused to go under oath on all of her claims in fear of the court backlash if found un-true.

There is also the rumors of the Amber Heard sex tape videos, that she made with other men she has been with in the past… of course a fact as we all know from the ICloud hack. More importantly, there is the talk that she may try and blackmail Johnny with sexual videos that she claims to have.

Showbiz Spy reached out to our original source when the divorce first went down and he is telling us that “this is yet again nothing more than crazy Amber doing her thing to try and stay in the media and hurt/take advantage of a great big hearted man. This bitch even continues to try and play at his emotions, just a nasty person who uses her looks to try and get what she wants out of people.”

It’s the only thing Donald Trump has — so you can be sure he’s going to tweet about it!

The President-elect won his way to the White House nearly two full months ago, but that hasn’t stopped him from incessantly tweeting about the election in the weeks since… including earlier today!

The real estate mogul-turned-politician is the sorest winner we may have ever seen; he simply can’t win and move on to, you know, actually running the country!

Here’s what he had to say this time, about how he always knew he was going to win the election and the moment he knew that Hillary Clinton was going to lose (below):

Various media outlets and pundits say that I thought I was going to lose the election. Wrong, it all came together in the last week and…..
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017

I thought and felt I would win big, easily over the fabled 270 (306). When they cancelled fireworks, they knew, and so did I.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017

Oh boy.

WHY is he still talking about this?!

Regardless, he’s also wishing all of us a Happy New Year, including these messages from today (below):

Well, the New Year begins. We will, together, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017

And this, the best tweet of them all, from late last week about the New Year (below):

Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2016

Oh, Donald — never change!!

Even though Donald Trump has had serious trouble filling out his inauguration roster of entertainment choices, it appears as though he’s getting closer to being ready now a few weeks before the event.

The latest news regarding inauguration performances is centered on British singer Rebecca Ferguson, a former X Factor: UK contestant who revealed more on Monday about being asked to perform for The Donald in Washington, D.C. in a few weeks.

Related: Donald Trump Can’t Stop Tweeting About His Win…

Ferguson herself spoke about the invitation on Monday, sharing a statement on Twitter that read, in full (below):

“I’ve been asked and this is my answer. If you allow me to sing ‘strange fruit’ a song that has huge historical importance, a song that was blacklisted in the United States for being too controversial. A song that speaks to all the disregarded and down trodden black people in the United States. A song that is a reminder of how love is the only thing that will conquer all the hatred in this world, then I will graciously accept your invitation and see you in Washington.”

Wow!!

Here’s the full tweet (below):

Inauguration ceremony

— Rebecca Ferguson (@RebeccaFMusic) January 2, 2017

For those who don’t know, Strange Fruit is a song that was originally a poem — written by Abel Meeropol — that deals with lynchings of African-Americans in the 20th century in the United States.

It was first recorded as a song by Billie Holliday, and later also recorded by others, including Nina Simone.

Here’s Holliday singing it (below):

Powerful!!

Related: Ben Affleck Calls Out The Donald!

Good for Ferguson for standing her ground on that statement — something tells us her words here make it doubtful that she’ll actually be performing at the inauguration, after all.

No word yet from the Trump camp on this, or any other inauguration performers.

For what it’s worth, Trump himself is tweeting about nuclear war this Monday afternoon (below):

North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won’t happen!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 2, 2017

Uh-oh.

Well, at least Ferguson took a stand!!

Prince Harry does not have a problem or “hate” Meghan Markle’s sex scenes on “Suits,” despite a new report. Gossip Cop can correct this claim. We’re told it’s untrue.

According to the repeatedly disproven In Touch, Prince Harry is upset about the actress’s racier moments on TV. A so-called “source” is quoted in the tabloid as saying, “Harry hates that Meghan has sex scenes, and he refuses to watch them.” “He actually covers his eyes and cringes whenever she kisses a cast member or strips down,” says the alleged source, who seemingly sits right next to the royal whenever he watches her show “Suits.”

The publication further contends that her scenes make Prince Harry “feel uncomfortable and incredibly insecure.” The same seemingly made-up insider adds, “Meghan’s promised him that he has nothing to worry about and that it’s all part of the job,” but the prince still “isn’t OK with it.” The same questionable tipster claims that while Prince Harry “supports her acting career, [he] hopes Meghan will eventually take on more serious roles that don’t involve flashing her flash.”

Prince Harry met Markle, knowing full well about her scenes on “Suits.” He didn’t have a problem with them then nor did it stop him from wanting to getting involved with the actress. The royal understands it’s part of acting. He’s also not six years old and “cover his eyes and cringes whenever she kisses a cast member,” despite the tabloid’s absurd contention and possibly fabricated quotes. Regardless, Gossip Cop checked in with a royal source, who maintains the magazine’s entire article is untrue.

It should come as no surprise that the In Touch story is wrong. Gossip Cop has been busting the publication for more than a half decade for its bogus reports about Prince Harry. Back in 2011, for instance, we corrected the tabloid when it falsely claimed the royal’s then-girlfriend Chelsy Davy and Pippa Middleton were in a battle for Prince Harry’s heart. More recently, we shot down the outlet when it inaccurately alleged Prince Harry was in a love triangle with Markle and Rihanna. Basically, the magazine has not proven itself as a reliable source of information about the prince’s love life.

There’s a lot to look forward to in 2017!

Not politically speaking, of course — but at least there’s a lot of promising new shows coming to TV!

With so many different platforms to choose from these days, there are plenty of highly-anticipated series bringing big stars to the small screen.

Katherine Heigl makes her big return to network television in the CBS legal drama Doubt, playing an accomplished attorney who falls in love with a client that may or may not be a cold-blooded murderer. Eat your heart out, Shonda Rhimes!

If that’s not your taste, you might enjoy looking at a scantily-clad Tom Hardy in his new FX miniseries Taboo — or watching Drew Barrymore go on a juice cleanse in the upcoming Netflix comedy Santa Clarita Diet!
