EXCLUSIVE: PAMELA ANDERSON AND LIAM NEESON HAVEN’T SPOKEN SINCE MOVIE PROMO — “IT WAS ALL A PR STUNT”

EXCLUSIVE: PAMELA & LIAM’S FAKE ROMANCE EXPOSED
Their red-carpet chemistry fooled the world — but insiders tell #ShuterScoop it was pure performance. Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson, who sparked headlines during their film’s press tour, haven’t spoken once since the cameras stopped rolling.
“Everyone thought they were falling for each other,” says one Hollywood insider. “But it was all marketing. They sold the fantasy — then went their separate ways.”
During the whirlwind promo circuit, the pair flirted through interviews, held hands at premieres, and called each other “magnetic” and “inspiring.” But sources say that was all scripted. “The studio needed buzz, and Pam and Liam gave it to them,” one PR source admits.
Now that the movie’s out of theaters, both stars have moved on — and privately cringe at the circus they created. “They’re embarrassed,” says another insider. “They wish they’d never gone along with it. It worked, but it wasn’t real.”
The verdict? Pure showbiz smoke and mirrors — passion sold for box office, not love.
EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE REFUSE TO BUDGE ON PART-TIME ROYAL PLAN
“Palace says no — again.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are standing firm on their plan to return as part-time royals, even as Buckingham Palace shuts the door for good, #ShuterScoop has learned.
“The answer’s been no for years,” says a senior palace insider. “But they keep trying. They want to work for the Crown on their own terms — and the Palace won’t have it.”
Sources say Harry recently floated the idea again during a private chat with King Charles, suggesting a “modern model” of monarchy that would allow them to live in California while occasionally representing the Firm. But royal aides immediately dismissed it. “This isn’t a negotiation,” the source adds. “It’s a demand.”
Officials argue that part-time royals can’t exist — the line between duty and profit would vanish. “They want to mix royal duty with Hollywood deals,” one courtier sighs. “It’s not happening.”
For now, the Palace’s position is crystal clear: there’s no such thing as part-time royalty.
EXCLUSIVE: KATY PERRY DESPERATE TO CASH IN ON TAYLOR SWIFT FRIENDSHIP — “OF COURSE SHE’S JEALOUS”
Katy Perry’s lovefest with Taylor Swift may not be as sweet as it looks. #ShuterScoop hears the pop diva’s sudden public support for Taylor’s new hit Eldest Daughter is driven more by strategy than sisterhood.
“Of course she’s jealous,” one top music exec spills. “Taylor’s the most powerful artist on the planet right now. Katy hasn’t had a chart-topper in years. This is about staying relevant.”
The former frenemies famously buried their feud when Katy appeared at Taylor’s Eras Tour — but industry insiders say their so-called friendship is mostly optics. “Katy knows that anything attached to Taylor gets clicks,” says one source. “She’s using the friendship to remind people she’s still here.”
While Taylor’s latest album The Life of a Showgirl dominates every platform, Katy’s career has shifted to TV spots and beauty endorsements. “She’s not selling records anymore,” another insider adds. “So she’s selling proximity to Taylor.”
Publicly, it’s all smiles and emojis. Privately? The industry’s whispering: “Is Katy’s comeback built on Taylor’s shine?”
EXCLUSIVE: DAVID MUIR AND ROBIN ROBERTS SNUB DAN ABRAMS’ NEW HOTSPOT
“They were invited — and they knew everyone would notice,” one insider tells #ShuterScoop.
ABC stars David Muir and Robin Roberts turned heads by not turning up at the VIP opening of Dan Abrams’ new Flatiron restaurant, Danny’s.
“It wasn’t scheduling,” says a network source. “They RSVP’d no — and people at ABC noticed. It sent a very clear message.”
The launch party was crawling with media heavyweights — Don Lemon, Bill O’Reilly, Abby Phillip, George Stephanopoulos, and Ari Melber — but the absence of ABC’s biggest faces raised eyebrows. “Dan helped shape ABC’s legal brand,” says one guest. “Seeing the network’s biggest anchors skip his big night stung.”
Robin and David reportedly wanted to “avoid the optics” of partying amid behind-the-scenes network changes, but insiders aren’t buying it. “Everyone else made time,” one guest points out. “They chose not to.”
Dan kept it classy, greeting guests and dining with his father, legal legend Floyd Abrams. But one attendee admits: “You could tell he noticed the snub.”
