EXCLUSIVE: ANNE BURRELL’S FUNERAL DRAMA

They came to mourn a beloved Food Network icon. But they left whispering about her husband.

Celebrity chef Anne Burrell, 55, was honored at an intimate wake on the Upper East Side this past Friday — but insiders say the real story was happening in the shadows. Stuart Claxton, Anne’s husband of four years, is now facing quiet suspicion after what multiple sources describe as “chilling” behavior at the service.

“He didn’t even try to look like a grieving spouse,” one shaken guest tells #ShuterScoop. “He looked bored. Cold.”

While over 100 mourners showed up — including celeb chefs Scott Conant, Amanda Freitag, and Marc Murphy — Claxton stood alone in a light suit (no black, no tie) and barely acknowledged Anne’s closest friends. Most notably, he avoided Amanda Freitag, who insiders say was like a sister to Anne. “They were family,” a source said. “And he couldn’t even make eye contact.”

As previously reported, Anne was found dead in the shower of her Brooklyn home Tuesday morning, allegedly surrounded by dozens of unidentified pills. Claxton made the 911 call, which noted potential cardiac arrest. The official cause of death is still pending.

But Claxton’s robotic demeanor has set off alarm bells for Anne’s inner circle — especially given rumors the couple had grown emotionally distant. “There was no big fight, but the spark was gone,” one friend says. “Honestly, she was more maternal with his son than romantic with him.”

Now, as fans flood social media with tributes, those who knew Anne best are left with mounting questions — and zero answers.

“She had so much life left,” a longtime friend told us. “We just want the truth. And if something doesn’t add up, we’re not letting it slide.”

EXCLUSIVE: IT’S OVER! HAILEY & JUSTIN BIEBER SPLIT — AND WE TOLD YOU FIRST

Another pop fairytale bites the dust.

Sources confirm Hailey and Justin Bieber have officially split — and while there’s no statement yet, don’t let the silence fool you. The 6-year marriage has been over for months, insiders tell #ShuterScoop. The most recent red flag? Hailey’s ringless outings this week in NYC, where she was spotted twice without her massive diamond — once at The Commerce Inn, and again during a girls’ night at Chez Fifi.

“That wasn’t a fashion choice,” says a source close to the model. “That was a message: She’s done.”

The 28-year-old Rhode founder has been preparing for the breakup behind the scenes, citing Justin’s increasingly erratic behavior and emotional absence. “She tried to keep the peace for their son, but she’s not going to drown to save him,” the insider adds.

As for Justin, 31? He’s been spiraling — pulling away from baby Jack Blues, smoking nonstop, and leaning into chaos. “She gave him everything,” says the source. “But in the end, she had to save herself.”

Expect a PR-crafted statement soon. But behind the scenes? It’s already over. And yes — we told you first.

EXCLUSIVE: BROADWAY STARS SHUT DOWN JENNIFER ANISTON’S THEATER DREAM — “SHE’S NOT ONE OF US”

Jennifer Aniston may be dreaming of Broadway lights — but theater insiders say she can keep dreaming.

After revealing that a stage role is on her “bucket list,” the Friends star received a frosty reception from Broadway royalty. “She’ll sell tickets,” a Tony nominee tells #ShuterScoop, “but that doesn’t make her one of us.”

While Aniston, 56, boasts a LaGuardia High School pedigree and some Off-Broadway credits, stage veterans aren’t impressed. “She wants to treat Broadway like a personal checkbox,” another actor scoffed. “Meanwhile, we’ve trained our entire lives for this.”

One insider took it even further: “If she wants applause, she should try stand-up. This isn’t sitcom summer camp.”

Still, Aniston isn’t backing down. With The Morning Show returning this fall and Hollywood still eating out of her hand, the actress may just barge onto Broadway whether they like it or not.

But the insiders have spoken — and so far, it’s a resounding “No, Rachel.”

EXCLUSIVE: BEYONCÉ GOES FULL ROCK STAR — NEW ALBUM TO CELEBRATE BLACK PIONEERS OF THE GENRE

Beyoncé is about to shake the music world — again.

After dominating country with Cowboy Carter, the 32-time Grammy winner is heading straight into rock and roll territory, and sources tell #ShuterScoop this is her most radical sonic pivot yet.

“She’s going all in on rock,” a music source confirms. “Real guitars, real soul, real grit. This is not a phase — this is a statement.”

We hear the upcoming album will serve as a tribute to Black rock pioneers like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard — legends whose influence shaped the genre but were largely erased from mainstream history. “She’s reclaiming what was stolen,” a collaborator tells us. “This is about setting the record straight.”

The visuals? Think 1970s rebellion, Southern fire, and punk precision — with surprise features already locked in. “It’s going to be loud, proud, and genre-busting,” says one insider.

There’s no release date yet, but trust us — when Queen Bey picks up a guitar, the world will listen.

Bow down. The Queen of Rock is coming.
