Cher may be 77, but she is not ready to retire! Not only has she launched her own gelato — her Cherlato trucks were popping up in LA over the weekend — Cher is putting out her very first Christmas album! She tweeted — or X’d? — “I’M SO +%#~>€ EXCITED ABOUT MY (CHRISTMAS) ALBUM. NEVER WANTED 2 DO ONE, BUT ITS AS GOOD AS ANY RECORD IVE MADE. THIS IS NOT UR”MOTHERS (CHRISTMAS) ALBUM.” We have no other details, and we need them.

“Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” did well enough in the ratings that Fox is bringing it back for Season 2. Having the writers and actors on strike certainly helped, as well. The premise for Season 2, an elite team of ex-special forces operatives will put 14 celebrities through challenges and training exercises in the mountains of New Zealand during winter. Basically, you’ll watch these celebrities being tortured. This go round, we’ve got the reformed and transformed Blac Chyna, former Bachelor Nick Viall and former Bachelor contestant Tyler Cameron, reality TV star Savannah Chrisley, former “90210” star Brian Austin Green, former NFL player Dez Bryant, NBA champion Robert Horry, Olympic gold medalist speed skater Erin Jackson, Olympic gold medalist alpine skier Bode Miller, Jack Osbourne, Tara Reid, Kelly Rizzo, JoJo Siwa AND……..Tom Sandoval!

MrBeast, aka James Donaldson, has filed a lawsuit against his food delivery partner, Virtual Dining Concepts, because they’re putting out burgers that aren’t up to his standards. A lot of customers — including my daughter Emma Kelly — have complained that the food is “disgusting,” “revolting” and downright “inedible.” In 2020 MrBeast teamed up with Virtual Dining Concepts to start selling burger-and-fries combo meals through ghost kitchens. But MrBeast claims his business partners were more focused on rapid expansion when they should’ve been prioritizing quality control. As a result, it makes HIM look bad, not them. Not only that, MrBeast claims VDC used his image without permission and registered trademarks they weren’t entitled to have. And on top of EVERYTHING else, MrBeast hasn’t been paid! Now he’s seeking the right to terminate this business relationship.

“Euphoria” star Angus Cloud has passed away from an assumed overdose. His mother found him unresponsive late Monday morning and the Oakland PD pronounced him dead on the scene. He was only 25. Angus had a long history mental health struggles and drug abuse. He reportedly had been battling suicidal thoughts since losing his father drug abuse and reportedly been battling suicidal thoughts since losing his father earlier this summer. We also learned yesterday that Paul Reubens, who was best known for his character Pee-wee Herman, passed away on Friday, June 30, after a long battle from cancer. This was a battle he chose to keep private. He wrote a statement that was released on his IG page after his death: “Please accept my apology for not going public with what I’ve been facing the last six years. I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you.”

Cardi B threw her microphone at a woman in the audience who had doused her with water, but was Cardi asking for it? New video from Cardi’s concert at Drai’s Beachclub in Vegas on Saturday shows her asking her fans to throw water on her because she was so hot. But apparently, she was only hot “down there” because that’s where she was asking to be splashed. In fact, she bent over to while fans threw their water on her and said it felt good. So here’s this woman in the audience all excited to throw her cup of water on Cardi, but Cardi reacted by hauling off and pelting her with her mic. Why? Because the woman missed Cardi’s nether region and splashed her in the face, instead. Cardi can be heard saying, “I don’t want to look like that ghetto b****. I said splash my (blank), not my face, b****.” Page Six has since learned that a woman went to Las Vegas Metro PD on Sunday to file a police report against Cardi, but it wasn’t the woman who threw the water. It was the woman standing next to her in the crowd. She said when Cardi threw the mic, she was also struck.
