I’ll take it from here, Ben paparazzi to a revolving door of “questionable” guests, the former TV host is making enemies fast! “There’s a reason people move here — to get away from the chaos,” fumes one frustrated resident. “Now, it’s like living in a circus. We didn’t sign up for this!” Another source claims Wendy has been “holding court” in common areas, gossiping loudly with residents, and even causing a stir with staff over diva demands. “She acts like she still has an entourage,” the source dishes. “It’s ridiculous.” Residents are demanding action, with some threatening to leave if management doesn’t intervene. “Something’s gotta give,” rants an angry retiree. “Either Wendy tones it down, or she needs to go!”

Wendy Williams, the once-reigning queen of daytime TV, is causing mayhem at her swanky retirement community, sources blab. The former talk show host, known for her over-the-top antics and no-filter commentary, has turned the posh New York City residence into her own personal playground — leaving furious retirees at their wits’ end! “She’s treating this place like a VIP club instead of a peaceful retreat,” complains an insider. “People here paid top dollar to enjoy their golden years in peace, not to live next door to a reality show.” According to multiple sources, Williams’ arrival at the luxury senior complex was anything but quiet. From ambulances and

UNFLAPPABLE ABC news anchor David Muir isn’t bothered by NBC’s so-safe-it’s-boring choice of Tom Llamas to replace Lester Holt — but sources say the ratings rivalry could come down to a question of character! “Some might call Tom dull, but NBC will push him as a relatable family guy and let viewers draw their own conclusions about David,” who is notoriously private and doesn’t have kids, squeals a source. “David’s personal life has always been his Achilles’ heel — not because he’s done anything wrong, but because he won’t let anyone in. That was fine for the old generation of anchors, but younger audiences want to feel connected — and David keeps the world at arm’s length!”

LADIES’ man Alex Rodriguez has a new galpal — but sources say it didn’t stop him from quietly reaching out to ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez in the wake of her painful split from hubby Ben Affleck! “Alex still cares about her,” coos an insider. “He knows how tough breakups can be, especially with all the media attention. He just wanted to make sure she’s okay.” Sources snitch that Ben had a bee in his bonnet about J.Lo’s sizzling chemistry with Alex. “He always worried there were lingering feelings,” spills a spy. And although A-Rod sources insist there was nothing romantic behind the call, one insider points out: “Let’s be real — Jennifer loves a grand romantic gesture!”

AS LONGTIME GMA staffers are shown the door, top-paid talent are getting a dressing-down about their lavish lifestyles! “While no official orders have been given, a strong ‘suggestion’ has been made for ABC hosts to be more mindful about flaunting their wealth — both on-air and behind the scenes,” spills a spy. “Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos keep things low-key, but Lara Spencer? She makes sure everyone knows she’s rich! Execs are urging them to cool it with the luxury spending. There’s a growing disconnect between the network’s

THE softball interview Duchess Meghan recently gave to Drew Barrymore is getting even more flak now that sources reveal Harry’s princess bride got all the questions in advance! “Every single question was handed to Meghan’s team ahead of time,” spills an insider. “There were zero surprises, zero tough topics — everything was carefully curated to make her look good!” And a TV insider notes that “this wasn’t a conversation — it was a performance. If you can’t handle an unscripted question, is it even an interview?”
Roberts and Stephanopoulos don’t flaunt their wealth belt-tightening and its top stars spending like there’s no tomorrow — it’s a really bad look!”
