EXCLUSIVE: ELLEN & MEGHAN’S FRIENDSHIP IMPLODES
DeGeneres Ditches Hollywood for the Cotswolds — and Throws Royal Shade on the Way Out
From royal allies to frosty frenemies — Ellen DeGeneres and Meghan Markle are officially done, and the breaking point was a real estate listing in the British countryside.
Sources tell #ShuterScoop that Ellen’s headline-making decision to relocate permanently to the U.K. — the very place Meghan publicly fled and branded “toxic” — has torched their once-close friendship. The 67-year-old comedian and wife Portia de Rossi snapped up an $18 million estate in the Cotswolds and are loving life across the pond.
Ellen didn’t just move — she mocked Meghan’s trauma in the process. “It’s beautiful. The people are polite. Even the animals are treated better,” she told British TV host Richard Bacon. “It’s better in every way.”
Insiders say Meghan was blindsided — and deeply hurt. “She feels betrayed,” one Hollywood insider dishes. “Ellen knows exactly what she’s doing. It’s a direct shot.”
To make matters worse, Ellen said that she and Portia might remarry in the U.K. if marriage rights are stripped back in the U.S. — essentially praising the same country Meghan says nearly destroyed her mental health.
Let’s connect the dots: Ellen bought a mansion near Meghan’s old royal stomping grounds. She called it paradise. And she publicly declared she’d rather live there than deal with here.
“Meghan says England broke her,” says one source. “Ellen says it saved her.”
The message? Loud. Clear. And cold.
BROADWAY CRISIS: BILLY PORTER UNDER FIRE FOR “BLACKS REPLACED THE JEWS” COMMENT
Cabaret Star’s Shocking Words Ignite Backlash, Boycott Threats, and PR Panic
Broadway is burning — and not in a good way.
Billy Porter has ignited outrage with a tone-deaf quote that insiders say could tank the Cabaret revival: “Blacks have replaced the Jews,” he reportedly said during an interview, attempting to compare historical oppression.
Wrong show, wrong message, very wrong time.
Porter, currently headlining Cabaret — a musical centered on the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany — is now facing serious heat from fans, donors, and even his own castmates.
“This is a PR catastrophe,” said one insider. “People are furious. It’s not just inappropriate — it’s dangerous.”
Insiders tell #ShuterScoop that producers were blindsided and are scrambling to get ahead of a full-on boycott. Jewish community leaders and Broadway patrons are demanding a public apology — or possibly Porter’s removal.
Says one top producer: “You cannot distort history like that and expect to keep the curtain up.”
Theater drama has never felt so real.
EXCLUSIVE: CHRISTINA HAACK REFUSES PAY CUT TO SAVE HGTV SHOW
‘Christina on the Coast’ Canceled After Star Says “No Thanks” to Salary Slash
Christina Haack just proved she’s nobody’s discount diva.
#ShuterScoop can confirm the Christina on the Coast star refused to take a pay cut to save her HGTV hit — and the network pulled the plug after six seasons. Christina reportedly made $50K per episode, and when execs asked her to trim the fat, she said “no deal.”
“They expected her to cave,” says a source. “She didn’t flinch.”
With HGTV deep in a budget bloodbath, even fan favorites are getting axed — but insiders say letting Christina go is the boldest (and most baffling) move yet. Fans are furious. Christina? Not so much.
She posted sun-drenched selfies and cheeky captions like, “Canceled looks good on me.”
Don’t expect a comeback tour — she’s already cashing checks elsewhere.
