ELVIRA, MISTRESS OF THE DARK just released a new memoir called “Yours Cruelly, Elvira”. And it contains a pretty legit bombshell: She’s been in a 19-year relationship with . . . A WOMAN. Elvira . . . whose real name is CASSANDRA PETERSON . . . was still with her husband when she met Teresa “T” Wierson at the Gold’s Gym in Hollywood. And when she first saw Wierson, she thought she was a hot GUY. Elvira says “he” was tan, tattooed, and muscular, and gave off such “intense energy” that when “he” walked into the room the “waters parted,” and everyone stopped and stared. It wasn’t until Elvira ran into “him” in the ladies’ room that she realized “he” was SHE. They became good friends . . . platonically at first. But then Elvira’s marriage ended. And Teresa was just getting out of a relationship, too. One day she showed up at Elvira’s house with her stuff, and moved in. And they proceeded to help each other cope with their breakups. Then one night they went to a movie together, and Elvira suddenly realized she wanted to HIT THAT. She says, quote, “What the hell was I doing? I’d never been interested in women as anything other than friends. I felt so confused.” She kept the relationship quiet all these years to protect the Elvira character . . . but obviously, she’s ready to live her truth now. On a more somber note, Elvira also claims NBA legend WILT CHAMBERLAIN forced her to give him oral sex. Quote, “When a 7-foot-1, 300-pound man has his hand wrapped around your neck, there’s really not a lot you can do.” Wilt once boasted that he’d slept with 20,000 women . . . and Elvira now wonders how many of those encounters were non-consensual. Elvira also confirms the old rumor that she had sex with TOM JONES when she was a Vegas showgirl . . . and ended up in the ER with an injury because he was so well-endowed.
A fire broke out at WILL and JADA PINKETT SMITH’s Calabasas home on Monday afternoon. A witness said the fire actually broke out in the basement and a fireman had to be treated. Apparently Will and Jada were there . . . but no one else was injured.
Did you enjoy home schooling your kids during the pandemic? Neither did DIERKS BENTLEY and his wife Cassidy. After two days they were ready to cash it in. “The first day, we crushed it. We were high-fiving each other. We were like, ‘this is so easy’ . . . the two of us were managing three kids, we were getting it done. It’s like we were putting on a clinic on how to teach. Teachers had nothing on us.” And then . . . day two. “The next day it was the exact opposite. I mean, screaming, crying . . . and that was just us. I was like, ‘this is brutal, this is awful.’ “I mean, you realize no one is more thankful for teachers than parents last year, and hopefully we haven’t forgotten that lesson.”
It’s pretty cool to see an artist break through big after years of paying their dues. When LAINEY WILSON’s “Things a Man Oughta Know” topped the “Billboard” country radio chart, she gave a shout-out to the entire world. “Thank you to everybody who’s given me a chance. That’s all I’ve ever wanted. I was taught if you want something, go get the dang thing. And to anybody who has a dream so deep down in their heart they can’t stand it . . . put your blinders on, lean in, and go get it.”
LUKE BRYAN has a hankerin to do a “cowboy song.” I’m not kidding. It’s because of the show he fell in love with during the pandemic. “I’m really into ‘Yellowstone’, and the music in [it.] It’s Texas music, cowboy music. I’m obviously not a cowboy, but it makes me wonder how I could do a really retro-sounding cowboy song that isn’t just drums, bass, guitar, and steel guitar.”
TIM MCGRAW hit up Instagram yesterday to wish FAITH HILL a happy 54th birthday. He started with a clip from her “Breathe” video, then cut to an interview with Diane Sawyer where he pretended to brag to his college buddies about her. He closed it with this: “Hey, baby. I still feel the exact same way. Happy birthday. I wouldn’t change anything for the world, and I love you.”

DAVID HARBOUR’s “Stranger Things” character starts the upcoming fourth season in a Russian prison. So he had to drop some serious pounds to look the part. And today, he shares the super-secret method he used to lose the weight. And it’s so simple, you’ll be amazed you’ve never thought of it . . . Quote, “It’s just not eating.” He adds, “It’s amazing. You try to do all these different things, the protein and the this and that, and then you just stop eating and you lost weight.” Obviously he’s being a little jokey here. And hopefully you don’t take him TOO seriously and starve yourself . . . because that’s NOT an efficient OR healthy way to lose weight. But still, yeah, maybe don’t Supersize as much. For those of you waiting patiently for the return of “Stranger Things”, David says it’ll be worth it. Quote, “It’s the best season. It’s just such an incredible season, the most epic thing we’ve ever done. It’s huge.”

Genesis is currently on their farewell tour and this definitely is the last time around. Phil Collins is now so frail, he can’t hold a drumstick and at recent concert, sang all of the songs from a chair. Fellow Genesis bandmate Mike Rutherford also spent the bulk of the evening, strumming his guitar from a chair. They’re touring England through mid-October, the head to Canada and the Eastern U.S. through the end of the year. The furthest west they come is Chicago.
