CAITLYN JENNER’S reality show was a boring bust axed after one season, but she’s getting a new shot at stardom playing a sex-swapper like herself in an upcoming sitcom, Duke of the Valley. The 71-year-old, who is dad to Kendall and Kylie Jenner and was an Olympic decathlon champ when she was a man named Bruce, will be a “white trash” transsexual living in an apartment complex along with main character Duke, a struggling actor played by Duke Van Patten, grandson of Eight Is Enough icon Dick. The show is a far cry from Caitlyn’s fantasy of playing a vampy comic book supervillainess. “In a Marvel movie, I want to play the baddest-ass lady you’ve ever seen in your life,” Jenner admits. “They got the wicked queen or the wicked…

BEN AFFLECK is seriously considering quitting L.A. — with or without his hot honey Ana de Armas — say insiders, who claim it’s thrown his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, into a panic! Sources snitch the 48-year-old actor has returned from filming in Ireland exhausted and desperate for a change. “Things haven’t been too good between Ben and Ana, and the friction of two high-octane careers has taken its toll,” spills an insider.

The NBC Nightly News Sunday anchor, 51, confesses she speaks with a counselor remotely by phone or video chat every couple of weeks. “I’m stressed. I mean really, very, totally stressed,” she writes in an online essay. “It’s not just the pandemic, the fear of disease and the isolation of the work-from-home thing, but trying to manage two teenagers and their schooling on top of a job that is quite demanding.” In April, Kate also revealed on social media her husband, radio host Chris Bro, had developed coronavirus symptoms, causing her to take a break from the broadcast.…

FORMER FOX News star Shepard Smith’s new CNBC show is laying a giant egg! Viewership for The News with Shepard Smith has dropped every week since it launched Sept. 30 — and sits at rock bottom of the 7 p.m. cable news ratings! During Shep’s last month at FOX — September 2019 — his 3 p.m. show averaged 1.3 million viewers. Now his average audience is a paltry 272,000! His heavily promoted show is even drawing fewer eyes than reruns of FOX Business show Lou Dobbs Tonight! CNBC insists it’s “pleased” with Shep’s results and it’s gotten “very positive feedback from viewers.” But Mediaite senior editor Joe DePaolo predicts Shep’s “new show is likely doomed.
