She’s Back! Kimberly Guilfoyle Lends Her Ex a Helping Hand

Indeed, politics can lead to unusual alliances, as demonstrated by the case of Gavin Newsom and his ex-wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle. After their divorce in the early 2000s, when Newsom was mayor of San Francisco, Guilfoyle went on to become a prominent figure at Fox News before dating Donald Trump Jr. and becoming a significant player in MAGA circles. More recently, she has been assisting Newsom in his political shift.

As reported, Guilfoyle, now 56, is said to have convinced Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk to appear on Newsom’s new podcast, “This Is Gavin Newsom,” where the potential future Democratic presidential candidate is exploring conservative viewpoints to understand why Republicans are outperforming Democrats.

Newsom has faced criticism for these dialogues and his apparent change of stance on issues like transgender athletes in sports (“Deeply unfair,” Newsom stated during his discussion with Kirk), with some questioning his actions. CNN anchor Erin Burnett expressed her confusion during a segment, asking “What on earth is going on with Gavin Newsom?”

Despite their differences in political ideologies and Newsom’s ex-husband’s frequent derogatory comments about him, it seems that Newsom has maintained a friendly relationship with Guilfoyle. An insider explained that this doesn’t come as a surprise, stating that Newsom had a professional connection with Guilfoyle before her relationship with Trump Jr., and their communication continued even after her political transformation. The source added that there wasn’t a year that they didn’t speak.

Ghost Busted! Graydon Carter’s Co-Writer Got Paid How Much?

Graydon Carter, renowned magazine editor, amassed wealth and fame by publishing scandalous tales about the elite — in celebration of his newly published memoir titled “When the Going Was Good“, let’s delve into some anecdotes. It is said that Penguin Press shelled out approximately $900,000 for Carter’s book, where he recounts his journey from a Canadian railroad worker to a Time Inc. writer, co-founder of the legendary Spy magazine, and eventually the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, the peak of glossy publishing in the late 20th century. While $900,000 may sound like a substantial sum today, during VF‘s prime in the late 1990s, Carter, now 75, would sometimes offer magazine writers contracts worth half a million dollars for writing just three articles per year. More captivating is the payment received by Carter’s ghostwriter, if that was indeed his role. Reports suggest that James Fox, author of the 1984 best-seller “White Mischief” and Keith Richards’ 2010 memoir “Life“, was given a monthly stipend of $10,000 over the course of a year, earning approximately $120,000. Apart from the unusual monthly payment structure — ghostwriters usually receive an advance upfront and the rest upon delivery and publication — Fox’s fee seems relatively small. A source within the ghostwriting industry comments, “U.K. writers tend to be paid less, but I’d be surprised if Fox were only paid that much.” Additionally, it is unclear whether Fox wrote the entire memoir or merely edited what Carter had written. Neither Carter’s publishers nor Fox have responded to inquiries regarding this matter. However, Carter recently hinted at Fox’s significant contribution to getting his memoir published. “I’m a writer, so it wasn’t the same as when he worked with Keith Richards,” Carter told The Guardian. “But he was instrumental, showing me how to shape it. Not everything happens in a linear fashion. Nobody wants to read a book that begins in Toronto General Hospital.

However, none of these stars were physically present at the event. Except for a brief moment towards the end, where Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. appeared in his chair and posed for the camera. The most puzzling aspect of this strange display? Viewers seemed to enjoy it immensely.
