EXCLUSIVE: HGTV MELTDOWN OVER TAREK EL MOUSSA’S BATTERY BUST!

EXCLUSIVE: HGTV IN CRISIS AFTER TAREK EL MOUSSA BATTERY CHARGE
Tarek El Moussa just went from flipping houses to flipping out — and HGTV is scrambling to clean up the mess.
#ShuterScoop can exclusively reveal that executives at the home-improvement network called an emergency internal meeting this week after their golden boy was slapped with a battery citation following a violent incident at a Las Vegas casino.
“He knocked the guy out cold in public,” a network insider reveals. “This isn’t Bravo — HGTV is supposed to be calm and clean.”
The fight broke out June 5 inside the Palazzo at The Venetian, where witnesses say Tarek kneed a man in the head during a heated verbal spat. He claims he was defending his elderly father — but those at the scene say it felt more like a takedown than a scuffle.
“This is a network built on trust, wholesomeness, and advertising partnerships,” says the insider. “You can’t have your talent accused of street-fighting and expect to keep Lowe’s and Pottery Barn on board.”
Sources say the network is debating whether to pause production or quietly cut ties, with execs stunned at the PR fallout. Meanwhile, wife Heather Rae Young posted glam Vegas pics like nothing happened.
“The posts say ‘family fun,’” says a network staffer. “The headlines scream ‘security risk.’”
Looks like this flip just flopped.
EXCLUSIVE: JOY BEHAR TO BETHENNY FRANKEL: “WHO?”
Bethenny Frankel is fuming — but Joy Behar isn’t even fazed.
After Frankel unleashed a furious TikTok rant slamming Behar as “miserable” and “washed up,” #ShuterScoop hears the 82-year-old View host responded with a shrug and a stinger: “I don’t even know who that is.”
“It’s Bethenny being Bethenny,” says a source at The View. “Joy’s not engaging.
The spat started when Joy joked about Bethenny’s bikini look being aided by “fake boobs.” Bethenny clapped back online, accusing Joy of being bitter and irrelevant. But insiders say this is a one-woman war.
“Bethenny’s mad she never got offered a seat at the table,” the source adds. “She once auditioned for The View and didn’t get it — and she’s been salty ever since.”
Producers, meanwhile, aren’t biting. “Whoopi’s uninterested. Sunny’s never seen Housewives. And Sara just asked, ‘Wait, who’s mad at Joy?’”
In short? Bethenny’s yelling into the void. Joy’s already moved on.
EXCLUSIVE: MILEY CYRUS WALKS AWAY FROM FAMILY TRUCE
Miley’s done playing peacekeeper.
#ShuterScoop can reveal that after years of trying to mend her famously fractured family, Miley Cyrus is backing off — for good.
“She gave it everything,” a source close to the star says. “But her parents? They’re just too exhausting. She’s over it.”
In a powerful sit-down on Monica Lewinsky’s Reclaiming podcast, Miley revealed she helped her feuding family reunite — without therapy, because just being in the same room was “a war.” She called the last decade “dark” and “emotionally hoarded.”
While she stood by mom Tish during the messy split from Billy Ray, insiders say her attempts at reunion were short-lived.
“She reunited with her dad briefly,” the insider adds. “But it’s surface-level at best.”
Word is her next album includes a track titled “Secrets” — and fans are bracing for a lyrical takedown.
Miley gave them a second chance. Now it’s their turn to step up — or get left behind.
EXCLUSIVE: GEORGE & AMAL CLOONEY GO OFF-BROADWAY UNDERCOVER!
Forget fancy premieres — George and Amal Clooney just proved they’re still the coolest couple in town.
#ShuterScoop can reveal the glam pair snuck into Angry Alan, an edgy Off-Broadway play starring John Krasinski, for a low-key (and very rare) NYC date night.
“They slipped in quietly, sat near the back, and didn’t cause a stir,” says an eyewitness. “But the second the lights came up — jaws dropped. It was like, ‘Is that GEORGE CLOONEY?’”
The play, which tackles online radicalization and toxic masculinity, clearly struck a chord.
“George was locked in the entire time,” the source says. “He even grabbed Amal’s hand during one intense scene.”
No red carpet, no press — just two Clooneys in the dark, soaking up the drama.
