Ivanka Trump nips out to a wine bar… with ‘snipers’ and bodyguards in town

The words ‘low-key’ and ‘subtle’ are rarely associated with anybody in Donald Trump’s orbit.

Following Vice President JD Vance disturbing the peace in the Cotswolds recently, it is now apparent that the President’s daughter has provoked a comparable commotion in Notting Hill.

As Ivanka Trump and her businessman spouse, Jared Kushner, recently visited a casual wine bar tucked away in a stylish area of West London, they seemingly left behind them a whirlwind of commotion and disarray.

Before the patrons of the humble Golborne Wine Bar and Deli, situated off Portobello Road, were graced by their presence, they had been peacefully partaking in an evening of outdoor dining.

Next, their security team arrived, hinting at the possibility of snipers posted on the rooftops of adjacent structures.

As a devoted follower, I can share that they ensured our safety by discreetly stationing bodyguards among us, almost as if they were fellow patrons enjoying a cup of coffee just like any other visitor. This insight comes from a trusted source within the circle.

Initially, the pair was quickly identified, yet those nearby managed to maintain their composure until after they had departed. At that point, lively conversations – and even more – ensued among the spectators, who some people described as a “lively scene.

They described the situation as quite lively, for there were a number of girls whooping with delight, while a popular French figure needed to call out to get them to hush.

The locals found it surprising that the president’s 43-year-old daughter was present in such a casual, understated venue. One of them commented, “Ivanka doesn’t usually frequent such modest places,” indicating that the establishment wasn’t particularly lavish or extravagant.

Indeed, there’s not a tacky gold-painted fixture in sight!

 

 Love is in the Air for Firehouse owner

In a bit of personal news, it’s worth mentioning that at the age of 68, hotel magnate Andre Balazs – best known for The Chiltern Firehouse in London – has been romantically linked to actress Donna Air, who is 46 years old, as I am now able to disclose.

A wealthy man known for his numerous relationships has courted Cameron Diaz, Uma Thurman, and Sharon Stone. On the other hand, Air, a well-known figure, shares a daughter named Freya with conservationist Damian Aspinall and has been linked to James Middleton, the brother of the Princess of Wales.

Could it be possible that the newly reopened Firehouse could serve as the venue for the couple’s grand debut in October?

 

 Dua and Callum bid to be double agents

Dua Lipa has been suggested as a leading candidate to sing the theme song for the upcoming James Bond movie, but she’s aiming for more than just that Bond universe.

In the anticipated 26th James Bond film, there’s speculation that the pop star might prefer her partner, Callum Turner, for the part of MI6’s most charming secret agent.

In the running for becoming the next James Bond is the lead actor from Fantastic Beasts, who’s currently favored by bookmakers. However, he’s up against stiff competition – contenders like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, known for his role in 28 Days Later, and Josh O’Connor, famous for his work on The Crown.

Although it would undoubtedly be enticing to have the celebrity pair on set, Amazon producers are choosing to keep their casting choices hidden for now.

 

 Stars know their place 

Additional details on ‘Operation Red Eagle’, the covert celebration held a month ago in honor of Sam Mendes, who is known for directing James Bond films, turning 60 years old.

One of my sources managed to obtain a copy of the seating arrangement, which reveals that Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson, and Joseph Quinn – all stars of Sir Sam’s upcoming Beatles movies – will be seated together at one table.

In other settings, Sir Nick Clegg and David Miliband remained separated, while the celebrant found himself surrounded by Liberty Ross and Nicole Kidman. Notably, Kate Winslet, his former spouse, was not in attendance.

 

 Lila’s lookalike, Lady Lola

Model Lila Moss has long been likened to mum Kate – and understandably so. 

But it appears she has another lookalike in the form of her new bestie, Lady Lola Bute. 

This summer, the two individuals have grown quite close, with the daughter of the late Marquess of Bute extending an invitation for Lila to visit her luxurious villa in Ibiza.

As a devoted admirer, I affectionately refer to Lila, who’s only 22, as my younger sibling. In fact, I often adorn her in my very own line of dainty, lace-trimmed mini dresses called Debute.

 

Is Vivian Wilson the world’s poorest nepo baby? 

21-year-old Elon Musk’s oldest daughter explained that she missed the event as she didn’t have enough money for a cab ride.

The cost was $150 round trip, which is too much for a taxi fare. Unfortunately, I couldn’t afford it, so I didn’t end up going. If only Elon had gifted her a Tesla…

 

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that I, Idris Elba, have invested £6 million in a magnificent Victorian structure formerly known as the exclusive Laylow members’ club, nestled along Golborne Road in the vibrant heart of Notting Hill.

Transforming the location, situated near the iconic Trellick Tower, the 52-year-old actor from Luther series intends to make it an attractive spot where both celebrities and local residents would enjoy spending time.

A friend mentions that Idris is extremely enthusiastic about the project. He wishes to contribute something beneficial for the whole community, a place where he has deep connections.

 

Emily in Paris? More like Emily in London! 

It’s been disclosed that the actress, Lily Collins, who plays the lead role in the series, has purchased a luxury home worth millions in Queen’s Park.

36-year-old Phil Collins’ daughter, resides now in the fashionable West London neighborhood, alongside her spouse, film director Charlie McDowell.

It has been mentioned that the stylish Swedish interior designer Beata Heuman, who is known for working with Burberry model Adwoa Aboah, will be responsible for designing their new home.

It’s likely that the Los Angeles native, Collins, will find herself perfectly comfortable in Queen’s Park, given that she shares the neighborhood with renowned James Bond actors like Thandie Newton and Daniel Craig.
