Prince Harry’s underwear ready to sell… Camila Cabello with some serious PDA… Taylor Swift responds to “Shake It Off” lawsuit… Olivia Newton-John has died… and Pete Davidson is in ‘trauma therapy’
Listen to “Showbiz – Aug 9, 2022” on Spreaker.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since Prince Harry went to Vegas and played naked pool with a bunch of other names women in a high rollers suite. He got a good talking-to by his grandmother after that one…Now Harry’s past is coming back to haunt him. Former stripper Carrie Royale claims she was in the suite on that scandalous night and kept Harry’s underwear as a souvenir. Now she’s putting them up for auction, hoping they’ll fetch a million bucks. In addition to a big pay day, Carrie also has an ulterior motive. She explained, “I am holding the auction to help remind him of his fun side, the side that his marriage to his wife Meghan has tried to control.” And just to show how sincere she is, part of the auction proceeds will go to Harry and Meghan’s Archewell charitable foundation. How noble. Live and online bidding starts Friday at 12:30am CT. The starting bid is $10K. If the winning bid is at least $800K, the winner will also receive a vintage 3-liter bottle of 1996 Dom Pérignon Rosé wrapped in 24-karat gold, valued at over $200k.

After months of dating rumors, Camila Cabello is boldly showing off some PDA with her boyfriend Austin Kevitch. Austin is the CEO of a Jewish dating app called The Lox Club, which was created for “like minded individuals with ridiculously high standards.” One of Austin’s longtime best friends is Nicholas Galitzine, who played Camila’s love interest in the movie musical, “Cinderella,” so that’s probably how Camila and Austin met.

Back in 2017, Taylor Swift was sued by songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler, who claimed that she stole some lyrics from their 2001 song “Playas Gon’ Play” for her 2014 song “Shake It Off.” The case was dismissed by a judge, who gave examples of 13 other songs from past decades that included similar lines — like Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” and “Playa Hater” by Notorious B.I.G. But in 2019, a federal appeals court said the judge shouldn’t have dismissed the case and sent it back to him. Now the judge will let a jury decide. “Playas Gon’ Play” was performed by the girl group 3LW. It reached No. 86 on the Billboard Hot 100. (“Shake It Off” did a tad better for Taylor.) In a sworn deposition, Taylor said, “Until learning about Plaintiffs’ claim in 2017, I had never heard the song ‘Playas Gon’ Play’ and had never heard of that song or the group 3LW.” Taylor said public scrutiny was the inspiration behind “Shake It Off.” She said, “I recall hearing phrases about players play and haters hate stated together by other children while attending school in Wyomissing Hills, and in high school in Hendersonville. These phrases were akin to other commonly used sayings like ‘don’t hate the playa, hate the game,’ ‘take a chill pill,’ and “say it, don’t spray it.’” We’re still waiting to get a trial date.
Taylor Swift (once again) has denied any copyright infringement over her hit 2014 song “Shake it Off.”

Olivia Newton-John passed away yesterday at the age of 73. She had been battling breast cancer for 30 years. Olivia was first diagnosed in 1992 and then went into remission until the cancer came back in 2013. In 2017, the breast cancer metastasized and spread to her bones, and she’s been fighting it with dignity and grace ever since. Among the multitudes paying tribute to Olivia on social media is John Travolta, who co-starred with Olivia in “Grease.” John has lost too many special women in his life to breast cancer. Back in 1977, he lost his girlfriend Diana Hyland to breast cancer. Two years ago, John lost his wife Kelly Preston to this horrible disease. And now….Olivia. John posted one of my all-time favorite photos of Olivia on his social media and captioned it, “My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better. Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever! Your Danny, your John!”

Kanye West celebrated the end of Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson’s relationship by posting a mocked up front page of “The New York Times” with the fake headline, “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28.” He also took a little swipe at Kid Cudi, but that’s beside the point. Kim was LIVID. She immediately started calling Kanye, demanding that he remove the image from his Instagram. He didn’t do it at first, but he finally caved. Meantime, a source told “People” that Pete has been seeing a traumatic therapist since April, who’s been helping him deal with Kanye’s online harassment. The source said, “The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for him, and he’s had to seek out help.” But the source also said Pete has no regrets about dating Kim, and “wants it to be made very clear that she’s been nothing but supportive of him throughout their relationship.” And it looks like she’ll continue to support Pete even after their breakup.
