Amazon is raising the price of Prime… Kanye West bagged all of Julia’s friends… Fans worry about Lil Nas X… Khloe Kardashian & Harry Jowsey dating rumors… and Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel at their breaking point

Listen to “Showbiz – Feb 4, 2022” on Spreaker.

 

The pandemic has been very good for Amazon. Their profits jumped 57% in 2021 to $33.4B. And now Amazon is raising its annual Prime membership price by about 17 percent — going from $119 to $139 per year. The monthly membership price is going from $12.99 to $14.99. Some reasons for the price increase include “Thursday Night Football” becoming an Amazon Prime exclusive, the new “The Lord of the Rings” series, expanded same-day delivery, a new pharmacy delivery service, and inflation.

Kanye’s new girlfriend, Julia Fox, turned 32 this week. As busy as he is putting the finishing touches on “Donda 2” — which he plans to drop on 02.22.22 — he flew from LA to NYC to have dinner with Julia and her friends at this French bistro called Lucien. Apparently, this is Julia’s favorite restaurant. She celebrated her son Valentino’s first birthday there. Kanye gave Julia and four of her friends Birkin bags, which go for a minimum of about $10K each, and then headed back to LA to work on the album some more.

Fans of Lil Nas X are getting really worried about him. The last time he was seen publicly was December 10 at the Jingle Ball in New York. And while Nas is usually super active on social media, his last post on Twitter and Instagram dates back to December 6. Now he did post “COVID really sucks” on December 17, but he deleted that. And since then…….crickets……..Now his fans are tweeting at him, hoping he’ll respond.

Khloe Kardashian doesn’t respond to every single rumor, but she shot down this one real quick. Gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi posted a story from an anonymous source who claimed, “One of my closest friends works at a very well known PR agency in LA & it’s confirmed that Khloe Kardashian and Harry Jowsey are talking. Apparently they’ve been DM-ing back and forth & texting & then last night he picked up a Bentley and flowers just to deliver them to her house.” Khloe posted a screenshot of that and wrote beneath it, “ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.” Meantime, Khloe’s ex-husband Lamar Odom is on “Celebrity Big Brother” and he is PINING over her. He told Todrick Hall he was hoping Khloe would also be competing on the show so they could be in the house together. He said he misses Khloe and her family “dearly.” He said, “I’m sorry I let them down. They had so much faith in me and gave me my own nickname, Lammy. I would do anything to make it up.”

“OK Magazine” claims Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s marriage is in crisis. According to their source, Jessica wants to leave Hollywood and move the family to Montana full-time. In fact, the source says they got into a huge fight about it right before Christmas, with Jessica breaking down in tears. The source said, “She gave him an ultimatum: Settle down once and for all with her and the kids or risk losing her for good. It got so tense, it almost ruined the holidays.” The source says Jessica still has trust issues stemming from that 2019 incident when Justin was caught getting a little handsy with his “Palmer” costar Alisha Wainwright. AND, the source said Jessica would lose her mind if she found out that Justin has reconnected with Britney Spears. The source said, “Justin has been following Britney’s situation extremely carefully and checked in on her a bunch of times.” The conversations are innocent, the source says. “They’ll talk about the old days and how glad Justin is that she’s found happiness….” The source said, “Justin has good intentions, but his behavior is inappropriate.”
