HUNTER LIVES LARGE ON DADDY’S DOUGH!
But June trial could crash his glory days
SHAMELESS Hunter Biden is living the high life in California spending his presidential pop’s dough while awaiting trial on felony gun and tax charges, but sources say his indulgent dad refuses to cut the purse strings.
“Hunter’s splashing around in the ocean, hitting up the trendiest stores in Malibu and Beverly Hills, and buying whatever his heart desires from expensive clothes and shoes to art supplies — all of which is said to be funded by Joe,” an insider spills.
The recovering crack addict, 54, is slated to stand trial in June on three counts related to possession of a firearm while using illegal drugs.
He’s also facing nine federal charges in a separate case for allegedly failing to pay more than $1 million in taxes.
Now, sources snitch the lawyer turned painter is intent on enjoying his freedom! “There’s a possibility he might be going to jail, so in the meantime, he’s eating at all the fanciest restaurants and not bothering to look at the prices. He’s being chauffeured around and doesn’t have to lift a finger to do anything — except, perhaps, work on his unusual paintings that he’s selling for $500,000 each.
Last August, the scruffy ex-boozer camped his keister at a $15,800-a-month pad in a gated Malibu community. He was joined in the threebedroom rental by baby mama Melissa Cohen — who he wed in 2019 — and their boy, Beau. Meanwhile, his security agents lease a four-bedroom home across the road for $16,000 — paid for by hardworking U.S. taxpayers! “Hunter wants for nothing, but the feeling is he’s always been a spoiled brat. But the way he sees it, this is his lifestyle and he deserves it because of who his father is — and Joe lets him get away with it,” the insider confides. “The trials are going to be an absolute nightmare, and Hunter figures why not relish what he’s got!”
IT LOOKS like Heather Locklear’s dream of a Melrose Place reboot is dead in the water as industry sources tell The National ENQUIRER that multiple studios have already taken a hard pass!
“Right now, the proposed Melrose Place reboot is a no-go as the pitch hasn’t compelled a buyer to step up,” spills an insider. “Sure, miracles happen all the time, but it’s just not a project people are fighting over at the moment, and the dreams of a multi-network or streamer bidding war have evaporated.” The popular series, which ran from 1992 to 1999, starred Heather, Daphne Zuniga,
Laura Leighton, Josie Bissett, Andrew Shue, Grant Show,
Thomas Calabro, Courtney Thorne-Smith and Doug Savant. It followed the lives of young professionals living in a West Hollywood apartment complex.
As The ENQUIRER recently reported, Heather, 61, was said to be desperate to resuscitate her career with the reboot and convinced Daphne and Laura to participate. “Heather and her team need to be realistic about how relevant the whole idea even is, and her sobrietychallenged history doesn’t help,” says the insider. “But they’re still hoping against hope that someone will come out of the woodwork to finance it. Stranger things have happened in Hollywood!”
