EXCLUSIVE: ANNE BURRELL DEAD AT 55 — FRIENDS QUESTION HUSBAND’S ABSENCE
Beloved Food Network star Anne Burrell is gone — but the mystery surrounding her final hours is only just beginning.
#ShuterScoop can confirm that the 55-year-old celebrity chef was found unresponsive early Tuesday morning inside her Brooklyn brownstone. Emergency services arrived shortly before 8 a.m. and declared her dead at the scene. A source at the FDNY tells us the 911 caller reported cardiac arrest and that Anne was DOA — dead on arrival.
But while fans grieve, insiders are whispering the same question:
Where was her husband, Stuart Claxton?
“They lived together. They were inseparable,” says a family friend. “So why was she alone?”
Burrell married Claxton — a media executive — in 2021 in a lavish hometown ceremony in Cazenovia, NY. But sources say the fairytale had cracks behind the scenes.
“There was tension,” whispers a longtime colleague. “Anne was the star. The provider. That kind of imbalance can get tricky.”
Despite her vibrant public persona — with a smiling selfie posted just days before her death — friends say something feels off. Especially given the eerie silence from Claxton himself.
“She was famous, adored by millions,” the colleague adds. “And yet the man closest to her hasn’t said a word. Not to the press, not even a social post.”
The NYPD has not ruled out foul play. The official cause of death remains pending. But those who knew Anne best aren’t ready to accept that this was simply nature taking its course.
“She had plans. She was filming. She wasn’t ready to go,” says one shaken insider.
And now, one of the Food Network’s brightest lights is gone — leaving behind a plate full of questions.
EXCLUSIVE: TAYLOR SWIFT GETS “A LITTLE SHY” TALKING TRAVIS KELCE
Even Taylor Swift gets bashful sometimes — especially when love’s involved.
The “Cruel Summer” singer made a surprise stop at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Florida last Friday, where a touching moment with a young patient revealed a crack in her polished PR armor.
When asked what brought her to town, Swift hesitated before softly admitting:
“My boyfriend is, uh, training here.”
She fidgeted with her Loewe dress. Tucked her hair behind her ear. Smiled nervously. In that split-second, we saw the real Taylor — in love, but cautious.
“She got a little shy,” an insider tells #ShuterScoop. “She knows she and Travis have been everywhere, and she’s trying to rein it in.”
From Super Bowl kisses to prime-time date nights, Swift and Kelce’s romance has dominated headlines. But sources say the pop powerhouse is now craving some privacy.
“She’s in love, but she’s nobody’s fool,” the source adds. “She’s protecting this. Not everything needs to be a headline.”
The message is clear: She’s still writing love songs — but not every lyric is for the public.
EXCLUSIVE: SCARLETT & JONATHAN’S RED CARPET BOND HAS HER HUSBAND SEEING GREEN
Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey may be just friends — but their chemistry on the red carpet has definitely caught her husband’s attention.
#ShuterScoop can reveal that Colin Jost isn’t too thrilled with the spotlight shining on Scarlett’s close friendship with her Jurassic World Rebirth co-star, Jonathan Bailey.
At Tuesday’s premiere in London, Scarlett, 40, shared a glowing smile, a warm hug, and even a playful peck on the lips with Bailey, 37 — all while stunning in a custom pink Vivienne Westwood gown. Fans swooned. But sources say Colin winced.
“Colin knows Jonathan is gay and happily taken,” says an insider. “But that doesn’t mean he’s not a little jealous of how close they’ve gotten.”
Sources say Bailey and Scarlett have developed an effortless, magnetic best friend dynamic while promoting the film — and it's been on full display during interviews, photo calls, and press tours.
“They adore each other — like a modern-day Will and Grace,” the insider adds. “It’s pure friendship. But Colin’s used to being Scarlett’s main scene partner, and now he’s watching someone else share the spotlight.”
While there’s no trouble in paradise, one thing is clear: Scarlett’s red carpet plus-one may be platonic — but he’s definitely unforgettable.
EXCLUSIVE: KENNEDY FAMILY SLAM RYAN MURPHY’S NEW DRAMA — “EXPLOITATION, NOT TRIBUTE”
Ryan Murphy’s new JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette series was meant to be a love letter — but it’s already being torn to shreds.
Murphy’s upcoming American Love Story installment is facing fierce backlash from Kennedy insiders for what they call a “ghoulish” and “inaccurate” portrayal of the iconic couple.
“It’s grotesque,” says one Kennedy family source. “Carolyn isn’t a costume. She’s not a Halloween wig.”
First-look images released this week feature Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Kelly as the tragic pair — but friends say Pidgeon’s styling misses the mark entirely, comparing it to “Zara pretending to be Prada.”
“This isn’t homage. It’s high-gloss exploitation,” a fashion source close to Carolyn’s inner circle fumes. “Carolyn was hunted in life. Now they’re doing it again in death.”
The Kennedy family had zero involvement in the project, and privately, sources say they’re furious.
“This is sacred ground,” one insider adds. “Murphy’s treating it like fan fiction.”
