DWTS STRUGGLING? The Dancing With the Stars celebrity line-up seems to be hurting after ABC replaced Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews with Tyra Banks, sources tell the Naughty But Nice podcast. “Part of the reason Tyra was hired was because it was assumed that she would be able to bring in big named stars to the competition. The show has always struggled to get top celebrities into the ballroom, with Kim Kardashian possibly being the biggest name ever to dance. Tyra implied she could call all her famous friends and get them to join the show, but so far it is not happening,” the sources said.

TAYLOR SWIFT DONATES MORE THAN $30K TO HELP STUDENT IN LONDON PAY UNIVERSITY TUITION; SUPPORTS INDIE RECORD STORES – (08/21/2020)
Taylor Swift has stepped in to help a young person in need.
A GoFundMe page set up by an 18-year-old student living in London caught Taylor’s eye. The student, Vitoria Mario, had been offered a place at the University of Warwick in England to study math, but was deemed ineligible for loans or grants to pay her tuition. After contacting numerous people for help, and either being rejected or ignored, she started putting letters with her story into mailboxes in London’s rich neighborhoods. When that didn’t work, she set up the page to raise the money she needed for four years’ worth of tuition, housing and books, which amounted to just over $52,500.
Vitoria, who describes herself as “a young Black 18-year-old with a dream,” was halfway to her goal when Taylor stepped in and gave her the rest of the money she needed: just under $30,700. “Vitoria, I came across your story online and am so inspired by your drive and dedication to turning your dreams into reality,” Taylor wrote on the GoFundMe. I want to gift you the rest of your goal amount. Good luck with everything you do! Love, Taylor.” A few days ago, Vitoria posted that her place at the University of Warwick had been confirmed.
Meanwhile, Taylor has sent out signed CDs to various independent shops around the country, which they separately started to announce on Thursday. “Thank you @taylorswift13! ☺️ Taylor just sent us some signed copies of her newest CD, ‘Folklore!’ First come, first serve!” wrote Vintage Vinyl. “Look at what came in 👀 30 CDs signed by Taylor Swift,” Rough Trade NYC wrote.
Taylor also recently released her bonus song “the lakes” from her album folklore, which is assumed to be about her relationship with Joe Alwyn.

Kirsten Dunst doesn’t understand why she was included in Kanye West’s campaign materials. Earlier this week, the 43-year-old shared a poster of his “Kanye 2020 Vision,” and it included several smiling people, including the 38-year-old and Vogue editor-in-chef Anna Wintour.
Dunst inquired on Twitter: “What’s the message here, and why am I apart [sic] of it?”
While West has missed the deadline to be on the ballot in several states, he appears to be very serious about running. He announced his bid for president on July 4th.

ELLEN DEGENERES SWEETENS DEALS FOR EMPLOYEES – (08/21/2020)
Ellen DeGeneres seems to be trying to make things right with her team on her eponymous show. On Monday, staffers learned that three senior producers—Ed Glavin, Jonathan Norman and Kevin Leman—were fired after an internal investigation into the “toxic workplace environment” described in multiple viral articles published in BuzzFeed and Variety.
DeGeneres apologized, corrected what she said were bizarre and erroneous rumors that she didn’t want staffers to make eye contact with her, and now, reports are emerging that she’s making many of their packages better too.
The new benefits package includes paid time for medical appointments and family members and birthdays off. Morale has improved after DeGeneres reached out to staffers in a virtual call this week, and staffers are excited about the new perks, Variety reports.
The call also implored staffers to not be “afraid,” and to feel like they could speak their minds without reprisal.
The investigation is reportedly ongoing. Ellen returns to the air September 14th.

SCOTT DISICK VACATIONING WITH KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN POST-SOFIA RICHIE SPLIT – (08/20/2020)
It’s Groundhog Day, Kardashians-style. Rumors have emerged for approximately the 7 millionth time that Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian are dating again, following his breakup with on-again off-again Sofia Richie.
Richie and Disick reportedly split after two years in May, largely so that Disick could work on a few personal issues. As many will recall, photos of Disick in rehab emerged shortly before their breakup. He left rehab, which was not related to substance abuse, but was reportedly related to emotional issues he was having over his parents death, soon after the photo leak and filed a lawsuit.
Fast forward two months, and the pair reconciled, only to split this month, E! reports. Kardashian, meanwhile, shares three children with Disick and has been besties with him throughout their own decade-long romance and well beyond. And yes, Richie was at times reportedly jealous of their connection, but the trio seemed to manage to get past it, even going on vacations together with the kids.
But it came to be too much, an insider tells E!: “Things haven’t been great between them. Scott’s been spending every day with Kourtney and the kids and has been vacationing with her. Things are always tense between Scott and Sofia when he goes away without her.”
When the 41-year-old posted a photo of herself in a one-piece at a lake, many brows were raised when Disick commented, “What a lake-er.” The pair are reportedly vacationing with friends and family at Idaho’s Lake Coeur d’ Alene. There is a non-essential travel ban in California, but the Kardashians appear to find their various jaunts essential.
