SEX-TAPE NIGHTMARE!
IT’S MY LIFE! “Pamela is telling friends how tacky she finds the whole thing,” says an insider. “Who would want to watch a couple of C-listers no one’s heard of?”
A NEW HULU SERIES REVISITS ONE OF HOLLYWOOD’S EARLIEST SEX-TAPE SCANDALS — AND PAMELA ANDERSON IS NOT PLEASED.
W
HO’S who? That hair, those lips, those piercings! In early May, Hulu released teaser pics from their upcoming biopic Pam and Tommy, about the very 1990s romance between Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (played by a faketatted-up Sebastian Stan) and Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson (Downton Abbey’s Lily James). The eight-part limited series will focus on the couple’s infamous sex tape that titillated the Internet back when “going viral” still meant catching a bug and social media didn’t exist.
Not so excited: The real Pamela Anderson. A source tells Star she’s “furious” about the show. “This was one of the most stressful periods of her life,” an insider says of the 53-year-old. “And now she has to relive it again.” For years, she and Tommy, 58, were embroiled in lawsuits against Internet Entertainment Group, which had been selling a stolen sex tape from the couple’s 1995 honeymoon. After reaching a settlement with EIG on the downloadable version, they missed out on getting their share of profits from the
$15 videotape version — which became the best-selling porn tape in history. (In 2001, Pamela was awarded a sevenfigure settlement related to a tape of her frolicking with Poison’s Bret Michaels.) “Pamela is doing her best to roll her eyes and rise above it all,” the insider says of the five-times married star. “The whole thing is sickening and so wrong to her on so many levels.” ★ M AY 3 1 , 2 0 2 1

“I don’t think we should be pointing the finger or blaming anybody,” Harry said before adding that he “suffered pain” as a result of Charles’ upbringing.
Secret Meet-Up
HE’S NOT HOLDING BACK!
TRAUMATIZED BY ROYAL LIFE! HE BLAMES THE FIRM FOR A ‘CYCLE OF PAIN.’
P
rince Harry doubled down on his accusations that life in the royal family — a.ka. The Firm — is nothing but a trap. Calling it a “mix between The Truman Show and living in a zoo,” the 36-year-old reiterated on Dax Shepherd’s podcast Armchair Expert that he left royal life and moved to California with wife Meghan Markle, 39, and their son Archie, 2, to save himself. More telling, Harry, who shocked the royal family with a first bombshell interview in March, pointed to his father’s frigid upbringing as the root cause of his own “childhood trauma.”

Sounding as if he’s had a lot of therapy (he has), the former Apache helicopter pilot described realizing that Prince Charles’ distant relationship with Queen Elizabeth II and the late Prince Philip resulted in what Harry termed “genetic pain.” Shunted off and lonley at legendarily harsh boarding schools, the Prince of Wales has said of his early education, “I didn’t enjoy school as much as I might have, but that was only because I’m happier at home.” Yet when it came to his own sons, Harry and future king Prince William, nothing changed. “I started to piece it together and go, ‘OK, so this is where
he went to school.’...I also know that is connected with his parents, so that means he’s treated me the way he was treated,” Harry noted. As a result, he confessed to Dax, he acted out with “wild partying” during his twenties. Now, a defiant Harry, who has a daughter on the way, is not looking back. Of his new life with Meghan at their $14 million Montecito home, he said, “I can actually lift my head, and I feel different, my shoulders have dropped, so have hers. You can walk about a little more free. I can take Archie on the back of my bicycle. I would never have had a chance to do that.” ★

She’s got the rock and now mom is rolling! Days after Tallulah Willis shared news of her engagement to director Dillon Buss, mom Demi Moore was already planning the wedding. “She’s taken it upon herself so Tallulah and Dillon can enjoy this special time together and not stress,” a source tells Star. Famous last words! Already, their ideas for the big day are at odds. “Tallulah was fine with something simple in the back yard with just family and friends and their dogs,” says the source. “Demi wants a big splashy Hollywood affair.” And the 58-year old isn’t thrilled with the young couple’s idea for a cross-country “hippie-moon” aboard a bus. Still, says the source, the 27-year-old isn’t really complaining: “Demi wants to do this for her, and Tallulah loves her mom to the moon and back.” ★

Not closing ranks! In the wake of Josh Duggar pleading not guilty to child pornography charges April 30, his sisters — some of whom he molested as a teen — are finally speaking out. “We absolutely condemn any form of child abuse,” Jinger and her husband Jeremy Vuolo posted, while Joy-Anna broke her silence to say she was “heartbroken” by the charges against the 33-yearold, due in court July 1. In more typical Duggar fashion, she asked for “prayer for all those involved.” They’ll need it. A source tells Star the arrest has left the ultra-religious 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On clan in “turmoil,” with everyone scrambling to save their TLC paychecks. Jill’s husband Derick Dillard even blasted patriarch Jim Bob on Twitter, accusing him of keeping their earnings. “It’s the parents’ show, you know that, right?” he wrote, adding, “one person got paid.” Now, says the source, the two are pitching a rival show: “Jill and Derick have been family outcasts. They’re taking this opportunity to strike.” ★ M AY 3 1 , 2 0 2 1

A source tells Star the 74-year-old and her 84-year-old spouse are fond of living in the buff — and their pals are running scared! “Suzanne is always going on about how being nudists keeps them hot, but many in her life think it’s too much,” explains the source. (Exhibit A: She posted a saucy shot on Earth Day in April.) “There are people she used to hang around with but doesn’t see so often anymore and the ‘Why” doesn’t seem to dawn on her.” While the source says the former Thighmaster spokesperson isn’t exactly serving up hors d’oeuvres in the raw, her social circle is tired of hearing her extoll the virtues of, say, gardening in the nude. “It’s a tedious topic for people to listen to all the time,” spills the source. “Now she and Alan don’t get as many invites to social engagements as they used to!” ★

Doing the (virtual) rounds while promoting her Netflix firefighter movie Those Who Wish Me Dead, Angelina Jolie has been opening up about her dating life — or lack of one. “I’ve been alone for a long time now,” the 45-year-old, who split from Brad Pitt in 2016, told one outlet. And she’s comfortable staying that way. Asked about dealbreakers that would nix guys looking to date her, she quipped, “I probably have a very long list.” The Maleficent star also seemed to reference her acrimonious, years-long divorce in talking about a shift in parenting her and Brad’s six kids. “Of course you wake up and you just feel like, ‘I’ve got to make sure they’re OK. I’ve got to make sure they’re mentally OK,” she mused. “But, honestly, I think a few years ago it switched, and they’re thinking, ‘I’ve got to make sure mom’s OK.’ ” It’s not her first dig at her ex. She told March’s British Vogue she’d had a “pretty hard” past few years. “I’ve been focusing on healing our family,” she said. “It’s slowly coming back, like ice melting and the blood returning to my body.” ★

ALL JUICES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL
Y
ou may want to think twice before you reach for your next glass of juice. That healthy exterior is often misleading, as many kinds of juices contain about as much sugar as soda. Want to make a smart swap but not give up the sweetness? Choose cherries instead!
CHERRiSH — the only 100% USA-grown whole cherry juice — features a delicious and unique combination of Montmorency tart and sweet Bing cherries, bringing you the sweet taste you crave and a slew of health benefits.
Health Benefits
Delicious Taste
More than 50 studies have documented the health benefits of Montmorency tart cherries, including their powerful anti-inflammatory support and maximum antioxidant protection as well as their ability to speed muscle recovery; support more restful sleep; slow neurodegeneration; protect the heart; regulate blood sugar and metabolism; reduce pain; and improve digestive health.
No Added Sugars
CHERRiSH has no added sugars, filler juices, or artificial ingredients, so you get all the goodness of Montmorency tart cherries together with the delicious taste of naturally sweet and nutritious Bing cherries — for a perfect balance of tart and sweet.
Most juices may cause a sugar spike and energy crash due to their high sugar content, both natural and added. But not CHERRiSH! That’s because Montmorency tart cherries are a low glycemic food,

The newest study in the June ’19 Journal of Functional Foods suggests these cherries can benefit metabolic syndrome, which affects 35% of the population and causes a significant increase in risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

GHOSTS ODF’S BOYFRIEN PAST
Jennifer & John:
The actress and entrepreneur are taking a second chance on love.
A
S Bennifer 2.0 is making headlines, Jennifer Garner is taking a page out of her ex Ben Affleck’s playbook. According to a source, the 49-year-old is giving a relationship with John Miller — the CaliGroup CEO she dated for two years before calling it quits in Aug. 2020 — another go. “Jen and John have been seeing each other,” the insider tells Star. “Things are different, in a good way.” What changed? Their expectations. The Yes Day star and the burger entrepreneur went their separate ways
last summer after butting heads about their future. The dad-of-two “wanted marriage” says the confidant. But “Jen was nowhere near ready.” Despite their split, the actress — who has shared Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with Ben, 48, since their 2018 divorce — continued to check in with John. Eventually, they “eased up,” says the insider, and agreed to start seeing each other again: “It was organic how they came back together.” But don’t expect high-profile getaways to Montana à la Ben and Jennifer Lopez. The West Virginia-
raised Garner has been vocal about keeping her love-life private. In 2020, she admitted watching her marriage implode in the public eye felt like “a self-fulfilling prophecy.” As such, the pair are keeping things low-key, opting for date nights at home, making dinner and watching movies. “It helps that they’re both divorced with kids,” adds the insider, “so when one is busy, the other one understands. “He’s a nice, normal guy, and that’s what Jen needs,” adds the source. “There’s hope they can make it work.” ★

Still, the source says the former HGTV Fixer Uppers might need some fixin’ themselves. Chip, 46, is “fed up” with his wife’s bad mood, says the insider. “He’s busy too, but he doesn’t appreciate being treated as a punching bag.” ★

TAFFERS at Ellen DeGeneres’ daytime talk show were stunned. On May 11, the 63-year-old informed them that, after 19 seasons, Ellen will go off the air in the spring of 2022. “When you’re a creative person you constantly need to be challenged,” the former sitcom star said in an interview. “And as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it’s just not a challenge anymore.” Or maybe it’s too much of a challenge. Following last summer’s scandal that exposed the show’s workplace as toxic and Ellen herself as less than her trademark “kind,” Ellen’s ratings dropped to an all-time low in April. At the same time, the real-estate flipper, worth an estimated $370 million, recently had to bat away rumors of marital problems between her and wife of 15 years Portia di Rossi, when she shared that she was temporarily between houses and living at pal Courtney Cox’s. Now a source tells Sta Ellen is getting out while she still can: “Deciding to end the show has more to d with pride and ego than anything else.”
I’m challenged by,” the Louisiana native went on. “And she’s watched me come home every day saying, ‘I just feel like there’s more I could be doing.’” Back in September, however, she still seemed determined to right the ship. After her reputation got dragged with a slew of unsavory accusations — from former staffers claiming she required them to chew gum before they speak to her, lest their breath offend her; to a former guest alleging she was “cold and distant”; to employees being abruptly left in the dark about pay amid the Covid-19 pandemic — she fired three producers and showed up on set for the season 18 premiere with a heartfelt apology. “We have made the necessary changes,” she insisted, “and today we are starting a new chapter.” But if Ellen entertained notions of a popularity resurgence, the season’s lagging ratings quashed them. She seemed defensive in the recent interview, calling the gum-chewing charges “hilarious,”
and admitting she assumed the bad PR would die down because “it was all so stupid.” She recalled thinking, “If I just don’t address it, it’s going to go away.” Celeb guests, she insisted, raved about the staff’s happiness. “‘Of all the talk shows I’ve done,’” she recalls a typical guest gushing, “‘Everyone here is so happy.’ That’s all I ever heard.” She even expressed regret for her “Be Kind” brand. “Like, I can’t honk my horn at anybody,” she said. “God forbid someone cuts me off.” WHAT LIES AHEAD Still, Ellen has no intention of burning her bridges. Having helmed a slew of unscripted shows, including Ellen’s Game of Games and The Masked Dancer, “The word is, she has lucrative new offers coming in,” says the source. “Portia would love for Ellen to take a break, dial back the intensity and enjoy life for a while, but Ellen is 100 percent not done in entertainment.” ★
Instant Sensation Known for embracing viral stars, Ellen chatted with five-year-old Noah Ritter (a.k.a. “Apparently Kid”), who gained fame in 2014 when he was interviewed by a ocal TV station at the Wayne ounty, Penn., fair.
END OF AN ERA Not that she seems too devastated to be saying goodbye. In the Hollywood Reporter interview, Ellen revealed that she’d tried to end the show after its 16th season, but was talked into three more years. Portia was a big part in her decision to step down, she went on. “She’s... selfish and wants me to do things that

FIGHT BACK
WITH THE ORGANIZATION BEHIND THE GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS UNDER FIRE, CELEBRITIES ARE USING THEIR VOICES TO EXPOSE RACIAL INEQUALITY, HARASSMENT AND UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR.
Joining Forces As it faces push-back from stars like Reese Witherspoon, Tom Cruise and Scarlett Johansson, the HFPA is implementing new reforms, says a source, including “no longer accepting promotional items.”

Golden Moment Actors like Reese (presenting with Morning Show costar Jennifer Aniston in 2020), felt beholden to the HFPA, which kicks of awards season.
the Time’s Up campaign and celebs like Sterling K. Brown and Olivia Wilde to call the HFPA out (see box). Others followed suit. Tom had his awards (the Best Actor prizes he won for 1989’s Born on the Fourth of July and 1996’s Jerry Maguire and the Best Supporting Actor prize he won for 199’s Magnolia) returned to HFPA headquar-
ters. The 58-year-old Mission: Impossible star isn’t known for getting involved in political issues, but the source says he felt compelled to do something. “Being away from Hollywood for a sustained period has given Tom a serious opportunity to reflect on the movie business as a whole,” says the source (M:I has been filming in Europe). “He sees this as an opportunity to speak on behalf of his peers.” If anyone
can get the powers that be to listen, it’s Tom, who commands $25 million dollar a movie, and whose last M:I film raked in more than $220 million dollars. “The fact that he’s stepping forward is a huge deal,” adds the source. Reese’s speaking up is less of a surprise. Though the actress, 45, took home the Best Actress trophy for 2005’s Walk the Line, she’s made it her mission to empower women with her super-successful media company, Hello Sunshine. “It wasn’t always easy for Reese to pave new ground, and she certainly ruffled a few feathers along the way,” says the source, adding that she grew tired of old-school types giving lip-service to wanting prog-
For Scarlett, it was personal. The actress revealed to Entertainment Weekly that she faced harassment by HFPA members for years. “As an actor promoting a film, one is expected to participate in awards season by attending press conferences as well as awards shows,” the Black Widow star said in a May 8 statement. “In the past, this has often meant facing sexist questions and remarks by certain HFPA members that bordered on sexual harass-
HOLLYWOOD SPEAKS OUT KERRY WASHINTGON Kerry applauded Netflix’s decision to boycott the HFPA. “This is so important,” the American Son star tweeted. “Thank you for taking a stand.”
STERLING K. BROWN The This Is Us Golden Globe winner lamented the absence of a single Black HFPA member on Instagram. “It’s a level of irresponsibility that should not be ignored.”

ment. It is the exact reason why I, for many years, refused to participate in their conferences.” The 36-year-old went on to say that former Hollywood mega producer Harvey Weinstein, himself a convicted sex offender, had strengthened the HFPA’s hold on celebrities. “The HFPA is an organization that was legitimized by the likes of Harvey Weinstein,” she said, “Unless there is necessary fundamental reform within the organization, I believe it is time that we take a step back.” Scarlett isn’t the only star to allege inappropriate behavior on the part of HFPA members. Mummy actor Brendan Fraser claimed former HFPA President Philip Berk sexually assaulted him in 2003, claiming in a GQ profile that he groped his butt. “I felt ill,” he recalled. “I felt like a little kid. I felt like there was a ball in my throat. I thought I was going to cry.” (“We have always taken Brendan Fraser’s allegations very seriously,” the HFPA said in a 2015 statement. It wasn’t until April,

however, that Berk was expelled from the organization after 44 years when he sent an email to group members describing Black Lives Matter as a “racist hate movement.”) And in 2013, The Wrap posted a story alleging that one foreign press member had bragged about getting women drunk and luring them back to his hotel room. (The journalist strenuously denied the accusations.) DAMAGE CONTROL The HFPA is adamant they are reforming and plan to bring Black, Hispanic and AAPI journalists into the organization. NBC says it hopes to air the show, which like all Awards shows in recent years fell in the ratings, again in January 2023. For now, the tables remain turned. “These are unprecedented times in Hollywood,” says the source. There are whispers the Academy Awards could be scrutinized next. “Everyone’s behavior is coming under the microscope like never before.” ★
MARK RUFFALO “I cannot feel proud or happy about being a recipient of this award,” Mark posted on May 8. (He won Best Actor in a mini-series for I Know This Much Is True.) “You must do better.”

VERY villain has a backstory. Before she was 101 Dalmatians’ puppy-fur-loving fashionista, Disney meanie Cruella de Vil was...simply misunderstood? Not exactly a tale of redemption, Cruella explores why she went so very bad. Set in the 1970s, the prequel stars Academy Award winner Stone as Estella, an aspiring designer and grifter living on the streets of London. Struggling to get by, she catches a lucky break when she crosses paths with fashion legend Baroness von Hellman (Thompson), who appreciates Estella’s style. A little too much. The baroness hires Estella, but soon starts filching her innovative designs. What started as a dream job turns into a nightmare as the icy businesswoman bullies the young designer. (Think: The Devil Wears Prada’s Miranda Priestly.) And so, Cruella is born. Fed up with being mistreated, the fashion-obsessed madwoman decides to exact her revenge on everyone who wronged her. “I’m just getting started, darling,” she drawls at one point. Of course, she does it all with impeccable style.
