Freshly Brewed Buzz with The Weeknd and Duff Goldman

THE WEEKND IS SET: The Weeknd is getting ready to rock the Super Bowl this Sunday with a $9.1 million six-bedroom manse on nearby Davis Island; he’s shelling out $100,000 to stay. His rep told Page Six he’s spending his own money to make the show the best it can be: “Abel spent almost $7 million of his own money beyond the already generous budgets to make this halftime show be what he envisioned.” (Page Six)

DUFF GOLDMAN WELCOMES CHILD: Duff Goldman and his wife Johnna Colbry have welcomed a daughter named Josephine, their first child. The Food Network star wrote on social: “I have no words to describe this blessing. @johnnapgoldman and I made a baby! Her name is Josephine and she is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in the whole world. Some friends have told me that the love I’ll experience when looking at my daughter will be different than anything I’ve ever experienced and they were totally right.” (ET)

ONE TREE HILL DRAMA? Jana Kramer is looking back at the drama that went down on One Tree Hill, and how it impacted her relationship with co-star James Lafferty. She recently said on her podcast Whine Down: “When I was on the show… there was just some, not cattiness, but just, ‘You can’t talk to this person if you’re friends with this person.’ So I wasn’t very close to James because of certain situations on the set at the time.” (ET)

DUSTIN DIAMOND REBOOT? Before his sudden passing from cancer, Dustin Diamond was hard at work on a comeback. His pal Dan Block tells TMZ that they’d been working on a reboot of his Saved by the Bell Screech AI creation in a series of Insurance King ads. (TMZ)

MARK-PAUL GOSSELAAR REMEMBERS DUSTIN DIAMOND: Saved by the Bell star Mark-Paul Gosselaar can’t believe Dustin Diamond, who died of cancer, is gone. He told Tamron Hall: “It’s always tough when someone passes away. I think it’s even more so when the individual is someone you know and the age of Dustin. It was only a few weeks ago that we heard about his diagnosis and for it to happen so quickly is shocking.” He explained that they drifted apart: “It’s interesting. A lot of people may not understand that you can work with somebody for years — you can be very close, you see this person every day for an entire season of shooting and then once things wrap, the camera stops, you just drift apart. There’s no reason other than just things happen in life and before you know it, years have passed and I think that was what happened with Dustin with the rest of the cast. (Page Six)
