Taylor Swift: Lying About Purchasing $25 Million House?!

Now that Pope Francis has returned to the Vatican, Taylor Swift is the only person in the US that millions of fawning worshippers view as infallible.


But just as left-leaning Catholics were let down by news that the Pope visited Kim Davis, so too might many Swifties feel that they’ve been forsaken when they learned that Taylor appears to have lied to her fans.



Earlier this week, it was reported that Taylor purchased a Hollywood Hills mansion formerly owned by iconic movie mogul Samuel L. Goldwyn for an astonishing $ 25 million.



Taylor denied the claim yesterday, tweeting:


“What the press says I’m doing: Buying a Bev Hills mansion, getting married in an English castle. What I’m doing: Playing a show in St. Louis.”


Unfortunately for Taylor, TMZ did some digging and according to property records, earlier today, the title to the estate changed hands  from the seller to a company that’s headquartered in Nashville.


The owner of that company? You guessed it – Taylor Swift.


So does Taylor simply have so much money that she’s not even aware when her employees make a $ 25 million purchase in her name?


If so, she desperately needs to fire her management team.


What’s more likely is that Taylor simply didn’t want the public to know she bought the home, either out of fear of paparazzi and fan stalkers, or because purchasing wildly expensive mansions all over the country kinda ruins her girl-next-door image.


(Or maybe it makes her everyone’s girl next door!)


Either way, we can’t help but wonder how else she’s misleading us. Maybe there’s some truth to those rumors about Taylor and Calvin Harris getting married after all!


Chris Brown -- I Told You It Was B.S.! Assault Case Effectively Closed

Z STAFF


EXCLUSIVE

1001-chris-brown-tmz-01Chris Brown will not be charged in connection with an assault on his tour bus earlier this month — the investigation turned up goose eggs.


Federal Heights PD in Colorado tells us the woman who initially filed the assault claim hired an attorney, and said she no longer wanted to pursue the case.


We’re told cops interviewed other witnesses who were at the Denver strip club while Brown filmed a music video with Fetty Wap and French Montana – and concluded they didn’t have the goods to present the case for charges.


For now it’s been ruled ‘inactive,’ … which typically means put a fork in it.


Brown said from the beginning the whole claim was bogus … looks like he was right.

Justin Bieber -- Straight Booze, No Chaser ... with Rae Sremmurd (VIDEO)

Z STAFF




Justin Bieber was boozing like a college kid during a Rae Sremmurd show … taking a huge swig straight from a bottle onstage in New Zealand.


We haven’t seen the Biebs let loose like this in a while — since cleaning up his act — but during the duo’s gig, Biebs took a dare and chugged from a bottle of Hennessy. 


Bieber never totally laid off booze, even though he battled some serious drug issues, but he’s gotta be having some regrets today … or at least a headache.
