The estranged wife of Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman is accusing the 77-year-old singer of hiring four men to kidnap him from a New York hotel on Nov. 30, 2022, amid his battle with heroin addiction. In court docs from their ongoing divorce, Marieangela King alleges that she was not allowed to “see or speak” to Elijah, 47, while he was under lockdown at an undisclosed treatment facility and that Cher asked her to leave the couple’s home without any of her belongings. “Cher thought Elijah’s wife was a bad influence who was steering Elijah down a dangerous path,” a source tells Life & Style. “She was desperate to help her son, so she did what she had to do. Cher wouldn’t call it kidnapping. That’s an exaggeration, but she…

Going through a painful divorce in the public eye isn’t easy, just ask Angelina Jolie. In a new interview with Vogue, the actress, 48, opens up about how her children, Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15, kept her going after she split from Brad Pitt in 2016. “I would’ve gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them,” Angie admits. Though life looks a lot different now — “I’m still understanding who I am at 48. I guess I’m in transition as a person,” says the Oscar winner — Angie hasn’t given up on finding someone to share her journey with. “She still believes in love,” says a source, “and the kids want to see their…

Brian Austin Green and Sharna Burgess have been keeping a big secret: They’re engaged! The couple broke the news on their podcast, Oldish, on Sept. 22, revealing how the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 50, popped the question to the former Dancing With the Stars pro, 38, back in July at his own surprise birthday party. “I was like, ‘That’s the perfect place to do it,’” said Brian. “[She] never saw it coming.” While he and Sharna have yet to begin the wedding planning process, there is one thing the pair — who share 14-month-old son Zane and co-parent Brian’s four other children — are certain of, according to a source. “On their big day,” says the source, “Sharna and Brian want all of their boys to be involved.”…

Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Maya Benberry can tell Taylor Swift how it ends! The 31-year-old brand consultant claims the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 33, was unfaithful to her when they dated in 2016. “I’m sure by now [Taylor] has mastered the ability to see who is really there for her — and who is just using her,” hinted Maya, who won Travis’ dating competition series, Catching Kelce. “But like the saying always goes: Once a cheater, always a cheater.” In a since-deleted tweet, Maya alleged that she and Travis were still together when the two-time Super Bowl champ began seeing broadcaster Kayla Nicole, 31. “When you and your ex broke up five months ago but you find out via social media that he’s supposedly been in another relationship for [six],”…
