EXCLUSIVE: TAYLOR SWIFT’S DAD BANS BLAKE LIVELY
Forget bodyguards — Taylor Swift’s fiercest protector is her dad.
Multiple sources tell #ShuterScoop that Scott Swift has officially banned Blake Lively, cutting ties after Blake’s legal team allegedly threatened to leak private messages unless Taylor publicly supported her in the Justin Baldoni court battle.
“Scott made the call. Not Taylor,” a family insider says. “She was willing to forgive and move on — but Scott said absolutely not. Blake is dangerous.”
The breaking point? Taylor was subpoenaed, then suddenly un-subpoenaed — a move insiders claim was orchestrated by Scott, who quietly provided key communications to Baldoni’s legal team to shield his daughter.
“He wasn’t going to let anyone weaponize Taylor’s loyalty,” the source adds. “He saw it for what it was — manipulation — and he shut it down fast.”
Behind the scenes, suspicions about Blake had been brewing for years. “There were always red flags,” one insider confides. “But Taylor adored her. So everyone kept quiet. Not anymore.”
Now, what was once Hollywood’s sweetest friendship is in ashes — and Taylor is shaken but awake.
“Scott’s not just her dad,” says a music industry source. “He’s her fixer, her firewall, and the last person you want to cross.”
The message from Team Swift is loud and clear:
“You don’t mess with Taylor — unless you’re ready to deal with Scott.”

EXCLUSIVE: PRIVATE JET COMPANIES BAN BRITNEY SPEARS — “SHE’S A RISK IN THE SKY”
Private aviation companies have a new name on their internal no-fly lists: Britney Spears.
Sources tell #ShuterScoop that multiple luxury jet providers have banned the pop star after a string of alarming mid-air incidents involving smoking, alcohol, and erratic behavior.
“She lights up the moment she gets in the air,” an aviation source reveals. “Cigarettes, lighters, even grill lighters. It’s not just illegal — it’s dangerous.”
One recent flight from Cabo to LAX ended with authorities waiting on the tarmac after Spears smoked mid-flight, ignoring multiple warnings from crew.
“She wasn’t arrested,” the source says, “but that was the final straw for a lot of companies. She’s now seen as a liability.”
Britney’s behavior has also triggered repeated $5,000 deep-cleaning fees, with some planes requiring half a day of deodorizing just to be cleared for the next passenger.
“She’s not banned from all private travel,” another source clarifies, “but let’s just say the list of willing carriers is getting shorter by the week.”

EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY DESPERATE TO RECONNECT WITH OLD FRIENDS — BEHIND MEGHAN’S BACK
Prince Harry wants his old life back — and he’s trying to get it behind Meghan’s back.
Insiders tell #ShuterScoop that Harry has been quietly reaching out to friends he ghosted after marrying Meghan, hoping to rebuild those bonds — in secret.
“He’s been texting, calling, even showing up unannounced,” says one royal source. “He’s looking for the people who knew him before the drama — and before the documentaries.”
The reception? Frosty.
“Let’s not forget — Harry abandoned them,” one former friend says. “He didn’t just drift away. He cut everyone off.”
The situation hit rock bottom when Harry was spotted on a doorbell cam, wandering a quiet London neighborhood — alone, no security — knocking on doors.
“He was looking for someone Meghan never liked,” confirms one source. “And he didn’t want her to know.”
The move came just days after Harry lost his legal battle over royal security in the UK — leaving him physically unprotected and, sources say, emotionally exposed.
“Harry’s walking a tightrope,” a royal watcher notes. “He’s sneaking around like a teenager trying to text his ex-friends. But Meghan isn’t exactly known for forgiveness.”

EXCLUSIVE: TOM CRUISE PANICS AS “MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE” BOMBS — AUDIENCES TURN ON HOLLYWOOD’S LAST ACTION STAR
Tom Cruise is facing a mission he can’t complete — saving his summer blockbuster.
#ShuterScoop can reveal that Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning is crashing at the domestic box office, opening to a soft $24.8 million from Thursday and Friday combined — and tracking for a disappointing $77 million holiday weekend.
Insiders say Cruise is in panic mode.
“They were hoping for a $100 million weekend,” a studio exec says. “Instead, they’re being crushed by Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, which pulled in $55 million in just two days and is headed for triple digits by Monday.”
The issue? Cruise fatigue.
“He’s still doing the same thing he did 20 years ago,” a marketing insider says. “Big stunts, polished persona — but the audience has moved on. He’s not connecting.”
Internal research shows younger women are especially disengaged — a major red flag for a star once known for universal appeal.
“People want chaos and vulnerability now,” a former publicist explains. “Tom’s still selling perfection — and it’s not working.”
Sources say Cruise is micromanaging from the ground up, flooding international markets and demanding hourly updates.
“He knows this flop will follow him,” says a rival producer. “He was hoping for another Top Gun: Maverick. Instead, he’s got a $400 million headache.”
