EXCLUSIVE: BRAD PITT LEARNS OF ZAHARA’S ENGAGEMENT — FROM THE INTERNET!

EXCLUSIVE: BRAD PITT STUNNED BY ZAHARA’S ENGAGEMENT
Brad Pitt has been blindsided — again.
#ShuterScoop can confirm that the Oscar-winning actor had no idea his 20-year-old daughter Zahara might be engaged — until he saw it online like the rest of us. Sources say Pitt learned about the rumored engagement through press coverage and was left “devastated.”
“She didn’t tell him,” a family insider says. “Brad found out through the media. It was a punch to the gut.”
Zahara was spotted Monday night leaving Craig’s in West Hollywood with actor and entrepreneur Elijah Cooper. She flashed a smile — and what appeared to be an engagement ring on that finger. Cooper, a Morehouse College student and streetwear brand co-founder, has been quietly dating Zahara for several months, but Brad was kept completely in the dark.
Insiders say the rift between Pitt and Zahara has deepened since his split from Angelina Jolie. Zahara dropped “Pitt” from her name last year. Her sister Shiloh recently followed suit, filing legal paperwork to do the same.
“Brad is heartbroken,” the source says. “He’s always wanted a relationship with his kids, but they’re growing up and making big life decisions without him. It’s just another reminder of how far apart they really are.”
EXCLUSIVE: TONY WINNER NICOLE SCHERZINGER COURTED BY THE WHITE HOUSE
Nicole Scherzinger’s next stage may be the most powerful one in America.
#ShuterScoop can exclusively reveal that the newly minted Tony winner has been invited to perform at the White House following her stunning win for Sunset Boulevard. According to sources, a senior official reached out within 24 hours of her acceptance speech.
“Nicole’s been careful with politics leading up to the Tony awards,” a source close to the star shares. “But now she feels empowered. She’s not hiding anymore.”
At 46, Scherzinger has finally shed the Pussycat Doll image and claimed a serious place in Broadway’s elite. Now, Washington’s calling — and she’s listening.
“This is a full-circle moment,” the insider adds. “She’s not just singing — she’s making a statement.”
EXCLUSIVE: TAYLOR SWIFT AND TRAVIS KELCE RSVP AS ‘THE SWIFTS’
Is Taylor Swift secretly married? Fans are buzzing after she and Travis Kelce RSVP’d to a wedding invite under the name “Taylor and Travis Swift.”
#ShuterScoop can confirm the envelope appeared at NFL star Cole Kmet’s wedding — and has sent Swifties into overdrive.
“She’s no married - yet,” a source tells us. “When she gets married, it’s on her terms. And that Swift name’s not changing.”
Taylor and Travis skipped the ceremony, opting for a family event instead.
“She built the brand of Taylor Swift,” the source adds. “She’s not giving that up. Not even for Travis.”
EXCLUSIVE: VANITY FAIR STAFF REVOLT OVER NEPO HIRE
There’s unrest at Condé Nast — and it’s wearing couture.
#ShuterScoop can reveal that Vanity Fair staffers are furious after Anna Wintour handed the top job to Mark Guiducci, a longtime friend of her daughter Bee Shaffer.
“He’s not respected. He’s not qualified,” a staffer fumes. “This was a nepo move — plain and simple.”
Guiducci, a style insider with stints at Vogue, has never led a major publication. Now he’s running Vanity Fair — and insiders say it’s killing morale.
Even worse? Beloved editors are on his way out, fueling fears the magazine is ditching hard reporting for influencer fluff.
“This is not what Vanity Fair used to be,” one editor sighs. “It’s not glossy anymore. It’s just gutless.”
