The ‘Titanic’ Door auction… Rebel Wilson’s memoir… The next Bachelorette… Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce shut down gym… and Rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ homes raided by Homeland Security

Listen to “Showbiz – Mar 26, 2024” on Spreaker.

 

The controversial floating door that Rose clung to as Jack froze to death in the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean has been sold at auction. The new owner cut a check for $718,750 for that slab of wood. Will the new owner run a series of tests to see if it was possible for both Rose AND Jack to have clung to that door and survived? Titanic director James Cameron previously said, yes, both of them could FIT, but they wouldn’t both SURVIVE because the door wasn’t buoyant enough to float with both of them hanging on to it. And in actuality, it’s just a piece of wood paneling. While the Titanic door was the highest-selling item at this auction, some other cool stuff got snatched up. Harrison Ford’s whip from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom went for $525K. And the shaving cream can Wayne Knight’s character used to smuggle dinosaur embryos in Jurassic Park went for $250K.

Rebel Wilson posted on Instagram that in Chapter 23 of her upcoming memoir Rebel Wilson, she writes about working with a “massive a**hole.” She later said, “I will not be bullied or silenced by high priced lawyers or PR crisis managers,” and revealed that the “massive a**hole” was Sacha Baron Cohen, whom she worked with on the 2016 movie The Brothers Grimsby. Yesterday, Sacha’s rep released a statement to TMZ saying, “While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.”

Joey’s forgettable season of The Bachelor has come to an end. And *SPOILER ALERT* Joey’s final rose went to Kelsey, a junior project manager from New Orleans. But the big news came during After the Final Rose when Jenn Tran was named as the next Bachelorette, making her the first Asian leader in Bachelor Nation history! Jenn made it all the way to Joey’s final six. She was dismissed right before the hometown dates. The Bachelorette will air this summer on ABC and Hulu.

Members of the popular Dogpound gym in West Hollywood reportedly had to wait outside while Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had the gym all to themselves. According to the Daily Mail that right after their Sunday sushi date at Nobu — NOT Second Floor Sushi for once — Taylor and Travis went to work off their sashimi at the Dogpound and had the place shut down for 2 hours so they could squat and press in privacy. Gym members reportedly were highly unpleased they had to wait outside until the couple was done. This is the same gym were Taylor tried to get Justin Bieber kicked out back in January 2020. According to TMZ, Taylor paid big bucks for a private gym session, meaning she wanted the entire place to herself. Apparently, Justin and his crew were among others working out there when it was time for Taylor’s takeover. However, TMZ said Justin refused to leave until he was finished with his workout, and don’t you know he took his sweet time after that! But apparently, Justin never knew it was Taylor who requested the gym to herself and she wasn’t singling him out personally.

About 4 months ago, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie sued him for horrific acts of sexual violence and abuse. They reached a settlement within 24 hours. Right after that, several more women came forward with their stories of abuse, and most recently, Diddy’s former producer and videographer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones claimed Diddy sexually assaulted him repeatedly for the 10 months he worked for him. Yesterday, Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s homes in LA and Miami, reportedly in connection with an ongoing sex trafficking investigation. Diddy wasn’t home during the raids, but several people — including his sons Justin and King — were handcuffed and questioned. Hours later, TMZ cameras caught Diddy pacing outside a customs office at a Miami airport. TMZ said he’d been on his private jet when Homeland Security arrived and stopped him, but he was not placed under arrest. Through her attorney, Cassie she released a statement to Page Six saying, “We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.” Aubrey O’Day – who was once part of Diddy’s girl group Danity Kane – posted a headline about the raid on Diddy’s homes, captioning it, “What you sow, you shall reap. I pray this emboldens all of US victims to finally speak on what we have endured.” 50 Cent chimed in, sharing a TMZ article and news coverage of the raids, captioning them, “S*** just got real…” He later added, “Now it’s not Diddy do it, it’s Diddy done – they don’t come like that unless they got a case.”
