LONDON -- The Queen of England reportedly called the entire staff for the royal household for a "highly unusual" emergency meeting late Wednesday night. UPDATE | Prince Philip to step down from official duties Several news outlets are speculating it could be concerning Queen Elizabeth or her husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. According to the Daily Mail, staff from across the country have been summoned to the royal palace for the meeting. Senior royal officer Lord Chamberlain and private secretary Sir Christopher Geidt are expected to address staff, but the subject of that meeting is currently unknown. "Although meetings involving the entire royal household are occasionally called, the way this has been done at the eleventh hour is highly unusual and suggests that there is something major to be disseminated," a source told the Daily Mail. "But at the moment, only those closest to her genuinely know what on earth this is all about." The Queen, who turned 91 last month, was recently in the public eye when she met with British prime minister Theresa May to mark the dissolution of Parliament due to the general election. She and Prince Philip, who will turn 96 in June, just returned to the palace after celebrating a long Easter holiday. Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the situation. This story is developing.

Sigh. Just a really big, audible, makes everyone ask what’s wrong with you, SIGH. Five days after we found out that one of the contestants is a convicted sex offender, The… Source link

Read original article hereLiberals sure are afraid of Roy Moore. Not only did they push a woman in front of the cameras to cry and lie about some stuff that allegedly happened 35 years ago she’s just now remembering to mention (we refuse to repeat the salacious allegations because they are 100% verifiable fake news) but when the fake 14-year-old didn’t work for them, the Democrat Party did something even worse: they doubled down on the story, introduced a new actress, and had her tell an even more horrible lie.Fiona Dourif says she was 11 years old when Moore “groped her in the alley behind the” church they both attended in 1957. “It was the most horrifying moment of my life,” she told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Friday night. She then described the series of events that allegedly happened, including the obviously false allegation that he baited her into the alley with candy. “Roy Moore definitely did all of those things and more,” she said looking into the camera, dry-eyed.Maddow then interviewed Dourif’s parents, who said that they knew of the alleged abuse but didn’t say anything until he was running for Senator because they “feared for their lives.” Of course, if that was the case they would not have waited until he had more political power and wealth than he did when this allegedly happened.One piece of information Dourif failed to mention is that she is currently employed as a housekeeper for Michelle Obama at the D.C. mansion “she” and her “husband” Barack share. This information was uncovered by Gateway Pundit’s Charles C. Johnson, who notes in his report that “Dourif is paid extremely well according to public documents, which report a $250,783.33 annual salary for Dourif.”“Why would Barack and Michelle Obama’s housekeeper suddenly remember that she was molested by someone who is running for public office – someone of the opposing party,” Johnson writes. “This stinks more than Malia Obama’s dorm room after one of her reefer parties.”What exactly is going on? Ever since it her employer was revealed, Dourif has gone dark, removing all of her social media presences and refusing to respond to interview requests from any source.

Beckham allegations 'deliberately inaccurate', says spokesman 2/4/17 Share Close Newspaper allegations made against the ex-Man Utd star paint a "deliberately inaccurate picture" of the former England captain, a spokesman has said A spokesperson for David Beckham has labelled newspaper allegations as being drawn from "hacked and doctored private emails" in order to give a "deliberately inaccurate picture" of the former England captain. A report on Friday in The Sun, who claim the information was obtained by the European Investigative Collaborations network and then published across Europe, alleged Beckham carried out work for global children's charity UNICEF as a means to gain favour under the UK honours system and reacted angrily when he was not granted a knighthood. But a representative of the 41-year-old ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder insists the information published should be treated with due scepticism in light of how it was obtained and presented. "This story is based on outdated material taken out of context from hacked and doctored private emails from a third party server and gives a deliberately inaccurate picture," read a statement released to Omnisport. Beckham: Man Utd almost sold be to Barcelona "David Beckham and UNICEF have had a powerful partnership in support of children for over 15 years. The David Beckham 7 Fund specifically has raised millions of pounds and helped millions of vulnerable children around the world. David Beckham has given significant time and energy and has made personal financial donations to the 7 Fund and this commitment will continue long term. "Before establishing the 7 Fund, David had supported UNICEF and a number of other charities over many years, including donating his entire earnings from PSG during his time playing there. "David and UNICEF are rightly proud of what they have and will continue to achieve together and are happy to let the facts speak for themselves.” UNICEF issued a release of their own, detailing and praising Beckham's work for charity. The statement read: "UNICEF has become aware of media reports relating to 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund. Some reports relate to alleged private correspondence between our ambassador and other parties, which we have not seen and cannot comment upon. "David Beckham has been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since 2005, and as well as generously giving his time, energy and support to help raise awareness and funds for UNICEF’s work for children, David has given significant funds personally. Beckham returns to Paris Saint-Germain "The 7 Fund supports programmes for children, tackling issues such as malnutrition, violence, AIDS and emergencies. For example, in June 2016 David visited Swaziland to raise awareness of the devastating drought affecting Eastern and Southern Africa, helping UNICEF reach people around the world with important messages about the need for urgent action. "UNICEF works closely with high profile personalities in good faith to fundraise, advocate and make long-term change for children in danger around the world. Our ambassadors support UNICEF in a voluntary capacity, receiving no fee for their time and commitment. They contribute greatly to UNICEF’s work for children." "We are extremely proud of the 7 Fund and all it has achieved for children. Since it launched in February 2015 it has raised millions of pounds for UNICEF programmes and reached millions of people around the world with crucial messages about our work for very vulnerable children."

Gotti is a 2018 American biographical crime drama film directed by Kevin Connolly, and written by Lem Dobbs and Leo Rossi. The film is about the life of New York City mobster John Gotti and his son, and stars John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Spencer Lofranco, Victor Gojcaj, and Stacy Keach. The film languished in development hell for several years with numerous directors and actors, including Barry Levinson and Al Pacino, attached at various points. Principal photography finally began in July 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio and concluded in Brooklyn, New York in February 2017. The film was originally set to be released in the United States on December 15, 2017, but, just two weeks prior, Lionsgate, the slated distributor, sold the film back to its producers and studio, delaying its release.[6] On March 12, 2018,[7] its new release date was announced for June 15, 2018 by Vertical Entertainment and MoviePass Ventures, after premiering at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. Gotti was negatively reviewed by critics, who lamented the writing, aesthetics, and performances, although its use of makeup received some praise; Travolta's performance received mixed reviews.[8] It is one of the few films to hold an approval rating of 0% on the website Rotten Tomatoes.[9][10][11] Plot [ edit ] The film chronicles the three-decade reign of crime boss John Gotti, and his rise as the head of the Gambino Crime Family in New York City, along with his son, John Jr., and his loyal wife, Victoria. Cast [ edit ] Production [ edit ] Development history [ edit ] In September 2010, Fiore Films announced that it had secured the rights from Gotti Jr. to produce a movie about his life.[12] The film, tentatively titled Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father, was to be directed by Barry Levinson, who eventually left the project. Nick Cassavetes and Joe Johnston were then also attached at different points to direct, as were Al Pacino, Lindsay Lohan and Ben Foster to star in various roles.[13] Joe Pesci was cast as Angelo Ruggiero early in development and gained 30 pounds in order to properly portray him. After having his salary cut and being recast as Lucchese underboss Anthony Casso, he sued Fiore Films for $3 million; the case was settled out of court.[14][15] Chazz Palminteri, who had played Paul Castellano in the TNT made-for-TV film Boss of Bosses, was also initially cast to reprise Gotti's predecessor.[16] Casting [ edit ] On September 8, 2015, it was announced that the project was moving forward with Kevin Connolly as director.[17] Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films, Fiore Films and Herrick Entertainment would be financing the film, with Lionsgate Premiere handling the domestic distribution rights.[17] On July 27, 2016, the complete cast for the film was announced. It included Kelly Preston as Gotti's wife Victoria; Stacy Keach as Aniello Dellacroce, the underboss of the Gambino crime family who mentored Gotti; Pruitt Taylor Vince as Angelo Ruggiero, a deferential friend of Gotti; Spencer Lofranco as John Gotti Jr., Gotti's son; William DeMeo as Sammy Gravano, Gotti's right hand man who later became an FBI informant and helped them in bringing down Gotti; Leo Rossi as Bartholomew "Bobby" Boriello, Gotti's enforcer; Victor Gojcaj as Father Murphy, with Tyler Jon Olson and Megan Leonard.[18] Filming [ edit ] Principal photography on the film began in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 25, 2016, with locations including Springfield Township. The locations were staged to resemble setting of the film, New York City.[19][20] Filming also took place on Jonfred Court in Finneytown, and Indian Hill.[20][21] Filming was also done at Butler County Jail.[22] The film's shooting was previously scheduled to take place in New York City, because of its setting there, but it was relocated to Cincinnati. One reason to relocate was Ohio's revised Motion Picture Tax Credit to benefit films' creators.[23] Filming for some scenes took place in Brooklyn on February 21, 2017, concluding principal photography.[24] Release [ edit ] The film was originally set to be released in a limited release and through video on demand on December 15, 2017, through Lionsgate Premiere. Producers began seeking a new distributor in order for the film to receive a wide theatrical release, as opposed to the original release it was initially intended to have, with Lionsgate selling the film back to the producers and studio.[25][26] On March 12, 2018, Connolly announced that the film would be released on June 15, 2018.[27] On April 12, 2018, it was announced Vertical Entertainment was the film's new distributor.[2] On April 25, 2018, it was announced that MoviePass Ventures, a subsidiary of MoviePass, acquired an equity stake in the film and will participate in the revenue generated from the film.[28][29] The film premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival on May 15, 2018.[1] Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ] Gotti began its limited release in 503 theaters and was projected to make $1–2 million in its opening weekend. It made $105,000 from Thursday night previews at 350 theaters and a total of $1.7 million in its opening weekend, finishing 12th.[13] According to their own reports, MoviePass accounted for 40% of tickets sold, leading one independent studio head to tell Deadline Hollywood: "It used to be in distribution, we’d all gossip whether a studio was buying tickets to their own movie to goose their opening. But in the case of MoviePass, there’s no secret: They’re literally buying the tickets to their own movie!"[30] In its second weekend the film dropped 53% and made $812,000, finishing 12th.[31] Critical response [ edit ] Gotti was not screened in advance for critics,[32] but the Cannes premiere was attended by reviewers from IndieWire and The Hollywood Reporter, who both gave the film negative reviews .[33] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 0% based on 39 reviews, and an average rating of 2.2/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Fuhgeddaboudit."[34] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 24 out of 100, based on reviews from 16 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[35] Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review, writing: "...it's not only that the film is pretty terrible: poorly written, devoid of tension, ridiculous in spots and just plain dull in others. But the fact that it mostly portrays John Gotti as a loving family man and altogether likable guy, and his son John Gotti Jr. as a victim of government persecution, may be a first in the history of the genre."[4] The New York Post's Johnny Oleksinski called the film "the worst mob movie of all-time" and wrote, "...the long-awaited biopic about the Gambino crime boss' rise from made man to top dog took four directors, 44 producers and eight years to make. It shows. The finished product belongs in a cement bucket at the bottom of the river."[36] Writing for Rolling Stone, Peter Travers gave the film one out of four stars and said, "Insane testimonials from Gotti supporters at the end are as close as this [film] will ever get to good reviews."[37] Rotten Tomatoes controversy [ edit ] Observers were quick to note a large disparity on Rotten Tomatoes, between the audience approval score of 80% and the 0% critics' score during the film's opening weekend.[38][39][40][41][42] As of August 12, 2018 , the audience score was down 27% to a score of 53%.[34] On June 19, Dan Murrell of Screen Junkies noted that the disparity "made no sense" and suspected vote manipulation on behalf of the studio.[39] Accusations against the production studio and marketing team increased after the release of a marketing push suspected to be trying to hit back at the critics. The campaign proclaimed to consumers to ignore the "... trolls behind a keyboard",[42] and "Audiences loved Gotti but critics don't want you to see it... The question is why??? Trust the people and see it for yourself!"[38][41][39][40] Observers also noted the abnormally high number of reviews, 7,000, compared to other films that did better at the box office that weekend, such as Incredibles 2 which logged 7,600 reviews and grossed 105 times more than Gotti.[39][41] Rotten Tomatoes staff issued a statement stating they didn't find any evidence of tampering and that "All of the ratings and reviews were left by active accounts."[42] As of June 19, 32 of the 54 written reviews were found to be from first-time reviewers on the site, who had also only left a review for Gotti itself, and 45 of the accounts were created the same month.[39] Many of the accounts also wrote a review for American Animals, which along with Gotti are the only films to be owned by MoviePass through its company MoviePass Ventures,[39][41] which was responsible for 40% of tickets sold.[30] Jim Vorel of Paste suggested this was done to try to prop up MoviePass's "unlimited movies" business model.[39]

A-Teens[1] (stylized as A★TEENS or A*Teens) were a Swedish pop music group[2] from Stockholm, Sweden, formed by Niklas Berg in 1998 as an ABBA tribute band called ABBA★TEENS and later renamed A★TEENS. The band members were Marie Serneholt, Amit Sebastian Paul, Dhani Lennevald and Sara Lumholdt. The band's debut album became a success around the world. In 2001, it was reported that the band had sold 6 million albums worldwide.[3] After six years together, the band announced they would take a break in 2004 after the release of their Greatest Hits album. Each song from that album became a Top 20 hit in at least one country around the world.[4] History [ edit ] The ABBA Generation (1999) [ edit ] The original logo that the band used in their early days under the original name, ABBA Teens In 1998, Marie, Sara, Dhani, and Amit were musically united as the ABBA Teens. However, the group's name was changed to the A-Teens to avoid litigation.[5] This choice allowed the band more freedom in creating their own style of music. The official A*Teens logo In early 1999, the band started the recording process of what would be their debut album, The ABBA Generation, consisting purely of ABBA covers reinterpreted with a modern pop and electronic flair to appeal to a new generation of young pop fans. Their first single, "Mamma Mia", topped the charts in over ten countries including their home country Sweden where it stayed at number one for eight consecutive weeks. The album hit the peak position in Sweden & Chile and became a top ten hit throughout the world. Further singles enjoyed similar success ensuring top ten placings across the globe, and the album overall sold more than 3 million copies worldwide, being certified Gold or Platinum in over 22 different countries.[6] The band's music video for "Dancing Queen" features a plot very similar to the 1985 John Hughes film The Breakfast Club. In addition, the principal seen in the music video was played by Paul Gleason, the same actor who was the principal in the film. The single reached ninety-five on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone, being certified Gold.[7] In early 2000, the band embarked on a U.S. promotional tour, and on the verge of the release of their album in the United States, the band was invited to tour with Britney Spears that summer in her U.S. Tour. They also made several appearances on Disney and Nickelodeon to promote their music. The band's debut became a hit in North America, where the album reached seventy-one on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart being certified Gold in September 2000,[8] but its sales reached the million mark in 2001.[9] That month, the A-Teens won a Viva Music Award for Best International Newcomer, competing with the likes of Christina Aguilera and Blink-182,[10] and also the band announced what would be the lead single from their second album and their first to be an original song, "Upside Down", which would also become their signature song. The song was released to Swedish radios on 23 October 2000,[11] and was later unleashed worldwide. When the single was commercially released, it reached number two in Sweden and was later certified 2x Platinum.[12] The song became the band's biggest hit when it reached the top ten in several countries and when the single was released in the United States. The physical single reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 Single Sales Chart,[13] selling over 500,000 copies in three weeks and being certified Gold.[14] In January 2001, the band was nominated for "Best Swedish Group" at the NRJ Awards.[15] Teen Spirit (2001) [ edit ] The band's second album, entitled "Teen Spirit", featured a compilation of tracks that were not ABBA covers and when it was finally released on 26 February 2001, it debuted at number two in the Swedish Charts. This pop sensation hit reached the top ten in other countries and entered at number eighty-three on the World Charts,[16] number thirteen on the European Albums Chart,[17] number fourteen on CNN's WorldBeat Album Charts[18] and peaked at number fifty in the United States selling over 60,000 copies in its first two weeks,[19] ensuring Gold Status for sales exceeding the 500,000 copies in the United States alone.[20] Prior to the release of the album, the A-Teens became one of the first bands to broadcast one of their shows on MSN's Websites.[21] The UK releases were delayed due to A-Teens' failure with their previous album in that country.[22] When "Upside Down" was released there in May 2001,[23] it became their biggest hit in the country.[24] The single peaked at number ten in the United Kingdom becoming their only top ten hit in that country.[25] The album was delayed and released after the second single, "Halfway Around The World" in late October 2001. The single barely made the top thirty and the album did not chart in the top 75. Before they started their concert tour in the U.S. the band went to promote their album to Asia, with stops in Japan,[26] Singapore,[27] Malaysia where they did show for MTV Asia[28] and Thailand, with great success, especially in the former where Coca-Cola signed the band to become the face of the brand there and promote, "We were the first international artists ever to appear on a soda can there. They printed 15 million of them; we went home with ten!" Remembers Sara,[29] The cans were distributed around the country that year.[30] Also in 2001, the A-Teens performed as top billing during the Radio Disney Live! 2001 World Tour in Chicago and Philadelphia markets. The group promoted their album with a forty-three-date tour with Aaron Carter around the U.S.[31] Back in Europe, the band toured with No Angels in Germany.[32][33] By the end of 2001, Teen Spirit went on to sell over 1 million copies worldwide and were invited by Walt Disney/Buena Vista to record the European soundtrack for the movie "The Princess Diaries". As the movie had already been released in North and South America, the movie was set to be released in Europe in the winter 2001. "Heartbreak Lullaby" a song written by Cathy Dennis (famous for writing Kylie Minogue's number one hit, "Can't Get You Out of My Head") and Kasmanaut, the video was shot in Germany in late October, in the middle of their tour.[34] The single was released in December 2001 and it became another top ten hit for the band in their home country spending four months inside the charts.[35] Pop 'til You Drop! (2002) [ edit ] In early 2002 the band started working on what would be their third studio album. In January a press conference was held in Stockholm with American rock musician Alice Cooper. They announced they would do a collaboration recording Cooper's classic, "School's Out".[36] The song was recorded on 25 January in Stockholm, Sweden. Two versions were recorded, a Pop Version and a Harder Version and both were planned to be included on A-Teens' third album due to be released mid-2002.[37] During the start of the year, many updates and reports were published on the band's official website anticipating the release of the album.[38] By March 2002, the band reported they had over fifteen tracks already recorded, giving names of tracks and telling the fans the direction they were going musically.[39] The band finished recording their album in late March that year with meeting with MCA executives to plan what would be the promotion and tour for the album.[40] In May 2002 the band announced the first single to be taken from the album would be Elvis Presley's cover "Can't Help Falling In Love" to be launched to radios that month, and would also serve as the soundtrack of the then new Disney movie Lilo & Stitch.[41] A series of promotional stops in different TV Shows throughout the United States followed to promote both the movie and the album.[42][43] On 18 June their third studio album, "Pop 'til You Drop!", was released exclusively in the United States.[44] The album was aimed to the American market putting on hold the release for the international markets. The album debuted at number forty-five on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart.[45] The single also received a commercial release in Australia and Sweden in September 2002.[46] In July, the "Lilo & Stitch" soundtrack reached number eleven on the Billboard 200 albums chart.[47] The band announced their first headlining tour in the United States. The Pop 'til You Drop! Tour, a thirty-date tour around the U.S., was held in the summer of 2002 with Baha Men, Jump5, LMNT and Play.[48][49] The tour ran from mid-July until the end of August throughout the United States and Canada. The concert tour consisted mainly of outdoor venues at amusement parks and amphitheaters. The tour consisted of songs from all three of their studio albums. Later in 2002, due to public demand, the album was released in several Latin American countries, including Mexico, where the band promoted in November.[50][51] The band had a concert planned in the Auditorio Nacional but was later canceled due to some problems with the set. The band was also invited to do a show for the King and Queen of Sweden and the then president of Mexico, Vicente Fox.[52] Their album reached number three on the international albums chart and number fourteen on the main album charts.[53][54] After the promotion in Mexico, the band headed to Europe to release their single "Floorfiller". The song became a top five hit in their home country[55] and reached the top forty in most European countries as well as becoming a hit in Latin America, but did not match the success of their previous releases. The band appeared on CNN's The Music Room on December 2002, talking about pop music in Sweden.[56] New Arrival (2003) [ edit ] By the end of 2002 the A-Teens were in Europe, on the verge of what would be the international release of their third album, the band performed their hit single, "Floorfiller" at the 2002 Swedish Hit Music Awards as part of the promotion for their new album.[57] In January 2003 the band announced the release dates of their third album for the international market[58] The band promoted in Germany and the Netherlands prior to the album's release.[59][60] On 27 January the album, entitled New Arrival (a reference to the ABBA album entitled Arrival), was released. It combined tracks from the last effort Pop 'til You Drop! and new tracks, making a whole new album, or a "half-new album", as they described it. Some of the material on these two albums was co-written by the members of the A-Teens. The majority of tracks, while recorded in Sweden, were the work of producers from the United States, Norway, Denmark and Sweden.[61] The album debuted at number four in Sweden and was certified Gold a few weeks after its release.[62] The second single taken from the album (first in some countries), was "A Perfect Match", the band shot the video for the song in Cuba,[63] the video was premiered on 26 February on ZTV.[64] When the single was released, it reached number two in Sweden and ensured top forty placings all over the world.[65] Worldwide releases of the album followed, including a release in Mexico, on 24 March, the band promoted in the country for almost a month,[66] their album reached number seven on the international album charts and number fifteen on the main album charts in late April that year.[67][68] Back in their homeland, the band embarked in their New Arrival Tour across Europe doing shows all over Sweden, Denmark, Russia and Slovakia.[69][70][71] The band signed a promotional deal to promote Popdrinks in Sweden, with the song "Bounce With Me",[72] Amit graduated from High School and Marie Serneholt was named the third-sexiest woman in Sweden.[73] The third single from the album (second in some countries), "Let Your Heart Do All the Talking" was meant to be commercially released, but after the lack of sales of the A-Teens album in a worldwide scale, the record label canceled the release, and just unleashed the song to radios.[74] Sales for "New Arrival" were lower than expected, selling fewer than 350,000 copies worldwide. The band still got a nomination in the Swedish Hit Music Awards for "Swedish artist/group of the year".[75] The album also contains a cover from Murray Head's "One Night in Bangkok" (from the musical Chess). The music of this song is written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (the two male ABBA members), while the lyrics are written by Tim Rice. Other covers featured on the album include Shirley & Company's "Shame, Shame, Shame" and The Box Tops' "The Letter". Greatest Hits compilation (2004) [ edit ] By the beginning of 2004 the band announced their first Greatest Hits compilation was going to be released, a cover of Nick Kamen's "I Promised Myself" became the last single from the band.[76] The band shot the video for the song in March 2004,[77] and was premiered on ZTV in early April, the song went to international radios on late April/May becoming the last hit of the band.[78] The album was a compilation of thirteen singles, which each one of them made the top twenty in at least one country[4] and three new tracks, two of them were written by the band members. Promotion for the album was slow, the band did a few shows in Sweden and international interviews to magazines.[79][80] Many were reporting the band was splitting up after six years in the pop world.[81] The band quickly denied the rumours on their official website.[82] The single became another top-two hit for the band in Sweden, it became one of the band's biggest hits in South America (especially in Argentina) and the album became the band's first to not make the top ten in their homeland while it brought back the attention to them in other countries in Latin America and Eastern Europe.[83] The album was just released in selected European countries, Asia and Latin America. It did not receive a U.S. release, although, when MCA Records went bankrupt and was absorbed by both Geffen and Interscope, the former had plans to release it in November, ready for the Christmas sales, but plans were scrapped when the band finished their tour and Dhani released his first solo single.[84] After "Greatest Hits" was released, the band announced a two-year break. On 15 April 2006, Marie Serneholt's Swedish website officially announced that the A-Teens had parted ways.[citation needed] All members of the group wanted to pursue solo careers. [85] In one magazine Marie Serneholt stated, "The A-Teens are nothing but a memory now, we have all started our own projects." Another member of the group, Dhani Lennevald, confirmed his former groupmate's comment.[citation needed] Solo careers [ edit ] In September 2004 Dhani Lennevald released "Girl Talk", his first single as a solo artist, in Sweden. There it peaked at number twenty-nine, ensuring Gold status after nine weeks on the charts.[86][87] Dhani and Universal Music parted ways in 2005, now[when?] he's preparing the release of his first solo album.[citation needed] In 2005, Marie Serneholt signed with SonyBMG and in early 2006, she released her first single as a solo artist titled "That's the Way My Heart Goes". It reached number two in Sweden in February, and was later released in Europe and certified Gold.[88] This was followed by the album Enjoy the Ride which peaked at number nine in her homeland. According to her personal MySpace page she is recording her second album. She participated in Melodifestivalen 2009 with the track 'Disconnect Me'. In 2011 she was the host for Melodifestivalen in Sweden. She also participated in Melodifestivalen 2012 with the single 'Salt and Pepper.' Serneholt was a judge on X Factor in Sweden where she was the mentor for the groups. Serneholt has also been working as a model and TV-host. Currently working as a TV-host for shows like Bingolotto and other game shows. Marie is counted to be the most successful member of the A-Teens. Amit Sebastian Paul made his debut as well. "Songs in a Key of Mine" is a mini-album with eight demos.[89] Amit Paul has released his first Solo album "Songs In A Key Of Mine" which features 12 songs in April 2008, with the first single "Judge You" was released soon after. Amit Paul has also a future career in business, and finished his Masters at the prestigious Stockholm School of Economics, where he did an internship at the management consultancy Bain & Company. Sara Lumholdt released a cover of Olivia Newton-John's song "Physical" for a compilation album. She released the song under the name of Sara Love, and according to her official MySpace page she was working with producers from the United States and Europe to release more music. She released "Glamour Bitch" to her MySpace page and is said to be her debut single. She then switched to another project with Josh Skinner and Ted Perlman. The release of her debut solo album, tentatively titled "My Saranade", has been postponed as of now. The first single from that album, "First", became available on iTunes in July 2008. Reunion [ edit ] It was stated in an online chat on Sara Lumholdt's website that the Swedish national television broadcaster, SVT, has been in talks with the four to reunite in the country's Eurovision Song Contest selection show, Melodifestivalen. According to the chat transcript found on her website, the rumor is "somewhat true". Further stating that "sometime in the future.."[90] In March 2015, all four members of the group posed for pictures together on Swedish show dance competition TV show Just Dance in support of Marie Serneholt, who was a contestant for the season. However, they did not perform again as a group.[91] Discography [ edit ] For a complete list of all the songs, see List of songs recorded by A-Teens Tours [ edit ] Pop 'til You Drop! (2002)

Olivia Munn. The upcoming Ocean’s 8 will reportedly have a number of big-name cameos from celebrities such as Anna Wintour, Kim Kardashian, and this cool dog riding a skateboard. But for some, the opportunity to appear in the all-female reboot of the Ocean’s Trilogy came with a cost. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly Radio, JoJo Fletcher’s once-almost-sister-in-law Olivia Munn said that she had to pay for her own makeup and wardrobe in the film’s Met Gala scene: They’re like, “Do your own glam,” and I got the dress and all that and then you submit the bills for it because I’m part of your movie. And then [the producers are] like, “Oh no, the bills come right back to you.” Regardless, Munn said she is “just as excited … as everybody else” for the film’s release in June 2018. While it is unclear just how much Munn paid for her appearance, no price seems too high for the chance to appear onscreen alongside legends such as Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, and Skateboard Dog.

That’s one way to spread cheer! Harry Styles gave James Corden a kiss during a Christmas-themed “Carpool Karaoke” segment on The Late Late Show on Monday, December 11. The late-night host, 39, enlisted several of his Carpool Karaoke guests from the past year — including Pink, Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, Sam Smith, Kelly Clarkson and Fifth Harmony — to sing a fun-filled rendition of the Christmas classic “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town.” The holiday sketch kicked off with Corden and musician Reggie Watts, who leads the Late Late Show’s house band, cruising around Los Angeles. “The great thing about this time of year is I feel like it’s the only time we’re not judged for driving to work dressed like this,” quipped the British star, who was clad in a red Santa hat and a Christmas sweater. After singing the tune with his many guests, Corden turned to Styles, 23, and said, “Happy Christmas, Harold.” The former One Direction singer initially stayed silent but smirked slightly. He then leaned in to kiss Corden on the lips, placing one of his hands on the comedian’s cheek and wrapping the other around his head. “Wow, I did not expect that for Christmas,” the TV personality said with a laugh. This isn’t the first time the fellow Brits have locked lips. During a 2013 episode of the U.K. game show A League of Their Own, the “Kiwi” singer gave Corden a lengthy smooch on the lips during a scripted kiss cam segment. The Late Late Show With James Corden airs on CBS weeknights at 12:35 a.m. ET.

Pair a maxi, wrap or midi dress with a nice sandal or heel and don't be afraid to let your face show with a messy updo and smoky makeup.

Brad Pitt is 'absolutely smitten by' Neri Oxman, the acclaimed architect and MIT professor who he's been linked with last fall, as 'their chemistry is off the charts.' The 54-year-old actor and 42-year-old award-winning academic 'got romantically involved almost right away' after they initially crossed paths when he took in a presentation of 3D-printed chaise lounges she produced, a source told US. The Oklahoma-born star and Oxman, who was born in Haifa, Israel appears to be Pitt's first major relationship since parting ways with Angelina Jolie in the fall of 2016. Scroll below for video Strong start: Brad Pitt, 54, is 'absolutely smitten by' Neri Oxman, 42, (R), the architect and MIT professor who he's been linked with last autumn And the Fight Club star has fought hard to avoid the unending media attention he endured in his previous relationship with the mother of his six kids - Maddox, 16, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 11, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nine - Jolie. 'He’s been going to great length to make sure he’s not spotted by prying eyes,' the source told the publication, noting that it hasn't kept them from enjoying the world in their newfound romance. The Seven star and Oxman 'have traveled together internationally on several occasions,' including February's Design Indaba conference in South Africa, where Oxman delivered a speech, the source said. 'They are very much a couple,' said a source. A separate source told the publication that Pitt's relationship with Oxman 'is solely a professional' one. Out and about: Oxman was snapped in Italy last year for Milan Design Week with Luigi Luca (L) Taking things slow: 'Their friendship has not turned into romance … as both are cautious and this is, again, more of a professional friendship' a source told Page Six of Pitt and Oxman's relationship Pitt was snapped visiting the media lab where she works in a duo of posts from November 28, 2017 on Instagram. A previously unseen image of the star saw him posing with the academic in a group image - the second of him seen at the location. The War Machine star was also snapped posing with six women when he visited Oxman at the educational institution, in a shot student Kathy Camenzind uploaded to her Instagram post with the caption: 'Ocean’s six? #whatjusthappened #bradpitt #medialab.' (Oxman, however, was not featured in the social media snap.) In the shots, the Allied star wore an all-black ensemble of a hooded sweatshirt with pants and shoes, sporting a bit of stubble. He posed alongside Oxman in a shot that was subsequently removed from social media, according to People. Group shot: Brad Pitt's relationship with acclaimed architect and MIT professor Neri Oxman seems to date back to last autumn, as the perennial A-lister, 54, was snapped visiting the media lab where Oxman works on November 28 Happy days: Brad also posed with other staff at the laboratory (Oxman not pictured) Quick connection: 'Brad and Neri instantly hit it off because they share the same passion for architecture, design and art,' a source revealed A colleague of Oxman described the academic architect as 'genius and gorgeous' to the magazine. Pitt was referred to Oxman to collaborate on an architectural project he was working on, Page Six reported last week. 'Brad and Neri instantly hit it off because they share the same passion for architecture, design and art,' a source told the outlet, 'This is best described as a professional friendship.' The source added that the friendship hasn't blossomed into a romance just yet - but there is potential. 'Their friendship has not turned into romance … as both are cautious and this is, again, more of a professional friendship, but Brad is very interested in spending more time with Neri, she is fascinating,' the source said. Talented: Oxman is also an artist with her works featured in collections at MoMA, Paris’ Centre Georges Pompidou, Vienna’s Museum of Applied Arts and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Science. Pictured is her The Silk Pavilion installation Acclaimed: Oxman was named in the list of 25 Most Stylish Bostonians in 2012 by The Boston Globe Oxman is a professor at the MIT Media Lab, where she founded and directs the Mediated Matter group. She was previously married to Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov. The beautiful brunette is also an artist with her works featured in collections at MoMA, Paris’s Centre Georges Pompidou, Vienna’s Museum of Applied Arts and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Science. Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston is said to be heartbroken again after reportedly being blindsided by news that ex-husband Brad, whom she was rumored to be getting back with following her recent separation, has a new girlfriend. WHO IS NERI OXMAN? Who is the woman who finally helped Brad Pitt get over his ex Angelina Jolie? The matinee idol is said to be dating a brilliant and beautiful university professor named Neri Oxman. Oxman, an acclaimed MIT architect, appears to have a special blueprint for the emotional complexities of the enigmatic Hollywood star - at least enough working knowledge to capture his attention for the past six months. But until recently she was only known among elite academic and architectural circles before blazing a trail through social echelons normally reserved for only A-list stars. The 42-year-old American-Israeli has been romantically linked to Brad, 54, after they worked together on a project according to Page Six. Perfectly paired: Brad Pitt is said to have moved on from ex-wife Angelina Jolie with acclaimed MIT architect Neri Oxman Oxman, who is a leader at the MIT Media Lab, where she founded and directs the Mediated Matter group, was previously married to Argentine composer Osvaldo Golijov. The beautiful brunette is also an artist with her works featured in collections at MoMA, Paris’ Centre Georges Pompidou, Vienna’s Museum of Applied Arts and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Science. Her accolades are many as she was chosen as one of ICON’s 'top most influential designers and architects to shape our future' and Esquire’s 'best and brightest' in 2009. In 2014, Oxman was even named to Carnegie’s Pride of America. Background: She was born and raised in Haifa, Israel, to architect parents She was born and raised in Haifa, Israel, to her parents Robert and Rivka Oxman, who are both architects themselves. She has previously said she spent her youth straddling the worlds presented to her by her grandmother and her cosmopolitan and artistic parents. Neri has said her grandmother's garden represented nature for her while her parent's architectural studio was a special space where she immersed herself in culture. She moved to Jerusalem to Hebrew University's Hadassah Medical School in 1997 but within two years she had shifted her focus from medicine to architecture which took her to Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. She later attended the London Architectural Association School of Architecture and graduated in 2004. One year later she was in Boston to earn her PhD at MIT and by 2010 she was already an associate professor at the world renowned institution. Oman's ex-husband is a Grammy Award winning composer from Argentina named Osvaldo Golijov. She currently runs her own program at the famed Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where her team 'conducts research at the intersection of computational design, digital fabrication, materials science and synthetic biology' according to the university's website. 'Oxman coined the term, and pioneered the research area, of Material Ecology, which considers computation, fabrication, and the material itself as inseparable dimensions of design,' the description reads. Educated: Oxman later attended the London Architectural Association School of Architecture and graduated in 2004. One year later she was in Boston to earn her PhD at MIT According to Hollywood Life, the 49-year-old actress and Brad reportedly began speaking again after she and Justin Theroux went public about their decision to end their marriage in February 2018. An insider told Hollywood Life: 'Jen is crushed after hearing the rumors that Brad has been talking to a beautiful, Angelina Jolie lookalike, MIT professor. Jen had her hopes up of a possible reconciliation with Brad since she and her ex started talking again. 'When the both became recently single, Jen thought the timing couldn't be better, and she might have her fairy tale, happy ending with Brad after all. Jen never stopped loving him.' Former flames: , Jennifer Aniston is said to be heartbroken again after reportedly being blindsided by news that ex-husband Brad has a new girlfriend Star magazine previously reported that Jennifer and Brad 'have been secretly getting together for late-night hookups, and it's all because of George [Clooney].' These reports come amid conflicting claims from other publications. After Jennifer and Justin's separation bombshell, some claimed that she and Brad hadn't spoken in years, while other said she leaned on him during her separation. Jennifer, who is notoriously private about her love life, likely will not comment on the matter. Split: Jennifer and Brad reportedly began speaking again after she and Justin Theroux went public about their decision to end their marriage in February 2018 Meanwhile Pitt heads up the Make It Right Foundation, which builds affordable, solar-powered homes and communities for people in need. The Troy star has been working with architects from all over the world to build homes in New Orleans - which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina - as well as neighborhoods in need in New Jersey and Kansas City, Missouri. It comes as it was revealed that the Fight Club actor is expected to finalize his divorce from Angelina Jolie within weeks. A new report, published last weekend, hints that proceedings are imminent, following news that both have moved on with new love interests. 'The terms of the divorce are now agreed,' a source informed The Sun on Sunday. 'They are being finalised by both legal teams, but will be filed within weeks. 'It’s a huge turnaround from where the marriage ended, especially given the claims Angelina made against Brad, but they are now on pretty good terms. 'Both decided it was crucial for the children that they had a respectful relationship.' Brad and Angelina are parents to Maddox, 16, Zahara, 13, Pax, 14, Shiloh, 11, and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Angelina, 42, is rumored to be dating a 'handsome and older looking' real estate agent. The stars split in September 2016 after two years of marriage and a nine-year romance prior to that.

The Second Amendment has continuously been under assault in the United States and in the United Nations. Most often, the attacks came from Democrats and other leftists who have long wanted to see a disarmed populace, with only the government and military maintaining access to firearms. Liberals know that an armed population will not willingly become slaves.The United Nations has long worked, on an international level, to undermine the right of individuals to keep and bear arms, particularly the right of Americans to do so. In a recent document, it sounds like representatives of the United States promised “full implementation” of the UN’s gun-control agreement, and in doing so essentially forfeit the Second and Tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Perhaps most interestingly of all, the mainstream media has been entirely silent on the issue… perhaps they don’t want to laud this win and stir up patriots?The Third Review Conference for the UN’s Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons concluded at the end of June. Apparently, American ‘representatives’ at the conference agreed to begin developing ‘legal frameworks’ (generally, laws and regulations) that will enforce “proper management” of “small arms and light weapons” stockpiles.It seems that this agreement also includes ‘stockpiles’ owned by American citizens.The United Nations, an extremely corrupt international government organization with a long track record of failure and few (if any) successes to its name, is hoping that the United States will help it to track (and likely, confiscate) firearms in the country.The conference put out a plan that included demands for a massive database of all organizations, parties, and individuals that manufacture, own, sell, trade, or transfer firearms or ammunition.This will serve as a means for the United Nations to find ‘illicit’ ammunition and firearms.Of course, given the UN’s history of pushing for gun control measures, it’s not beyond the pale to believe that the organization would declare wide swaths of firearms illegal, or that home manufacture of ammunition for private use or resale is illegal.If the United States passes a law, or an executive order, to compel it to cooperate with the UN’s gun control objectives, that could mean that the government would actually seize such equipment on behalf of the international agency.However, it gets worse still. The ‘Programme of Action’ also allows UN ‘peacekeepers’ to go to member nations to ‘assist’ in meeting the goals of the program.So, if the organization decides that the United States should hand over its civilian-owned AR-15s for destruction, and then decides that the process is taking too long, they could send their blue helmet and beret-wearing goons to American shores to ‘help’ speed the process up.The conference produced a list of six points to which all member states agreed.Firstly, they all agreed to establish laws in their nations to support the effective implementation of the Programme of Action (PoA).Secondly, they agreed to strengthen ‘coordinated approaches’ nationally for implementing the PoA.Thirdly, they promised to include women in the mechanism related to said implementation.Fourth, the representatives agreed to create a ‘national point of contact’ to act in the role of liaison between nations and the UN.Fifth, they promised to ‘make better use’ of existing data to push various social and corporate policies in order to be ‘in compliance’ with UN demands concerning women, disarmament, and ‘non-proliferation,’ which generally means not making new firearms for the civilian market.Finally, they agreed to ‘significantly reduce’ illicit flows of small arms through means such as ‘voluntary surrender’ programmes and ‘illicit weapons’ recovery.In other words, the United States government is expected to help push an absurdly anti-Second Amendment set of demands on the American people.If they don’t push that set of rules upon the people swiftly enough, then the UN will decide if it wants to send armed peacekeepers to the nation or not.This agreement is wildly unconstitutional, and that’s being kind. It violates the Second Amendment, obviously, by its very nature, but it goes further than that.By requiring that state governments, county governments, and local governments bend to the wills of the federal government (and international government), it violates the Tenth Amendment, which states that powers not given to the federal government in the constitution are “reserved to the states respectively.”The idea of a ‘liaison’ between the federal government and the UN is also legally questionable.Apparently, the United States’ representative(s) don’t see a problem with this kind of unconstitutional nonsense.Perhaps it’s time that Donald Trump remove the United States from the United Nations, an organization that does little more than take money from America and hands it to corrupt nations via poorly-run bureaucracies.Perhaps, before the UN lectures America and other nations for recognizing the rights of their citizens to keep and bear arms, it should look at its own failures to stop the ‘illicit firearms trade.’UN Peacekeeper operations are infamous for leaving behind firearms, particularly in the third world. There’s a reason that, among the millions of Ak-pattern rifles in Africa, there are also hundreds of thousands of G3’s and CETME rifles from European militaries; the UN leaves them behind when they deploy.If the UN pushes the issue, they’ll likely find that the United States is not so quick to acquiesce as third-world nations who constantly have their hands out for ‘free’ stuff. If they’re going to attempt to undermine the laws of a nation, perhaps they should no longer operate out of the nation with legal immunity.

Home for the spring holidays! The night before Easter, admirably friendly exes Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon reunited to celebrate with their 5-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan. The “Emotions” singer took to Instagram to post a sweet snap of the family decorating Easter eggs . In the adorable photo, the family of four sits around a kitchen table dying eggs in all sorts of pastel colors for Easter. “Easter with #demkids,” she shared with her followers. “#moments #rocandroe #easter #family @nickcannon.” Looks like the pop-megastar is trying to change the nickname of her growing twins to #demkids, who have been referred to by fans as #dembabies since their birth in 2012. The duo were married in April of 2008 but the “Honey” singer filed for divorce December of 2014. https://www.instagram.com/p/BS-SZfWl8gS/ Carey and Cannon’s Easter celebration just a week after the “Glitter” actress announced she had split from backup dancer, Bryan Tanka after a year of dating. According to TMZ, Tanaka felt “disrespected” when Carey and Cannon, 36, attended the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards with their children on March 11. Tanaka would reportedly “lash back” at Carey and her friendship with Cannon by flirting with other women. Per TMZ, the pair have not seen or spoken to each other since they traveled to Cabo together at the end of March. https://www.instagram.com/p/BS-SjBrF1Et/ The “Butterfly” singer also suffered heartbreak in October of 2016 after confirming her breakup with Australian billionaire, James Packer. The former couple had been together ever since being introduced to each other by their mutual friend, producer Brett Ratner, at the premiere of 2014’s Hercules. Cannon has also had some big life changes this year after becoming a father for the third time over announcing the birth of his son Golden “Sagon” Cannon on his Instagram Page on Tuesday, Feb. 21. The Wild ’N’ Out star captioned the photo. “Weeping may endure for a night, but Joy cometh in the morning! No matter how hard the world may hit you, God always reminds us of our purpose! #TrueHappiness, welcome to Earth Son!” added Cannon, 36.

Selena Gomez revisited her childhood home recently and shared a thoughtful post to Instagram reflecting on where she’s been and how far she’s come since then. “The home I grew up in, from birth to 13... (no one was home when I knocked this time lol),” she captioned the photo of herself perched on the front stoop. “I visit this place every chance I get. In many ways it very well could have been better than my life today, but I’m grateful for a voice that can enable change today. Even when I don’t know how to do it well or actually want it. I love you Grand Prairie. Thank you. ❤️” Loading View on Instagram Gomez was born and raised in Grand Prairie, Texas, but made the move to Los Angeles when she was in her early teens after she landed the lead role of Alex Russo on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place . She currently resides in a $2.5 million ranch house in Studio City, California, that features three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in the main house, with an additional bedroom and bathroom in a separate space that could be converted into a studio or guesthouse. The singer snapped up the 3,188-square-foot home last May after selling her Fort Worth, Texas, mansion in February of the same year. (The 10,000-square-foot home was listed for $3 million and featured 1.5 acres of extravagance, including a saltwater pool, a putting green, an outdoor kitchen and cabana, and a tennis and basketball court.)

Scott Disick is arguably the greatest reality TV character to grace the screens of the E! network, so it's an outright tragedy that the man doesn't have his own Wikipedia entry. This isn't fan laziness, though; it's clear that at one point, Disick did have his own page, but it's since been deleted. Perhaps the man values his privacy or this is another example of Kris Jenner trying to control the family's branding. Whatever the reason, we did a little digging, some actual reporting, and a lot of gathering to bring you the Wikipedia entry LD deserves: Scott Disick [edit] Scott "Lord" Disick (born May 26, 1983[1]) is an American television personality and entrepreneur. He is best known for being the boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian and father to their three children: Mason Dash, Penelope Scotland and Reign Aston.[2] Disick has played himself on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Lord Disick: Lifestyles of a Lord, Punk'd[3], Kourtney & Kim Take Miami, and Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons.[4] Early Life Scott Disick grew up in Eastport, NY. He was an only child to parents Jeffrey and Bonnie Disick.[5] Disick was arrested twice by the time he was 18, once for speeding and once for driving under the influence.[6] Disick attended The Ross School, a private school in East Hampton.[7] He did not, however, graduate from Ross. [Source: Kristen Hyland, Director of Public Relations]. There were plenty of rumors about Disick in high school, and he was supposedly a hard partier. His nickname at the time was STD.[8] As a teen, Disick modeled and appeared on the cover of young adult books.[9] Parents There are conflicting stories about Disick's parents and their wealth. According to one source, the family lost its fortune.[10] Other sources say they were wealthy real estate developers and that Disick inherited his money from them.[11] Disick's grandfather, David M. Disick, was an attorney who became a successful fractional real estate developer, and has developed multiple luxury properties.[12] Disick's father was arrested in December 2001 for allegedly stealing $3,000 from a bank in the North Fork and was sentenced to 140 hours of community service.[13] At the time, Jeffrey and Bonnie Disick were reportedly in the hole more than $391,000 thanks to liens and judgements filed by a number of sources, including the federal government.[14] At the age of 63, Disick's mother Bonnie died October 2013 after a "long illness."[15] Three months later, his father Jeffrey passed away.[16] Both causes of death are unclear; Scott has said that his father suffered from cancer. According to a source, he was living in a Los Angeles nursing home when he died.[17] Career Disick has tried his hand at many entrepreneurial ventures. He has released a tanning product for men called Monte Carlo (tag line: "It's like liquid sunshine.")[18] and has also worked on a line of menopause supplements for men called Amidren by Scott Disick.[19][20] He has said that he has, "done a lot of private label manufacturing in the nutrition biz" and "raised money for startup companies."[21] He also opened a Japanese restaurant in New York, Ryu, but soon cut ties with it.[22] It has since closed.[23] Though Disick has said he works for GNC[24][25], a company rep denies that claim, saying, "Scott Disick does not work for GNC and the company has no business relationship with him." [Source: Laura Brophy, Director of Client Services and New Business Development] Kardashian and Disick at the opening of Ryu. Photo: Getty Images On Kourtney & Khloé Take the Hamptons, Disick frequently references paid hosting gigs for clubs such as 1OAK.[26] He has also hosted pool parties at casinos, such as one at Harrah's Resort in Atlantic City, for which he was paid $50,000 [27] [28] His net worth has been estimated at $12 million.[29] Relationship with Kourtney Kardashian Kardashian and Disick began dating in 2006.[30] It is unclear how the two met, though some gossip sources say it was in a club. Kardashian family friend and Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis has said he introduced them at a party at his home.[31] Keeping Up With the Kardashians debuted in 2007, and the drama of the couple's relationship became a popular subplot. After finding text messages on Disick's phone addressed to "my wife,"[32] Kardashian broke up in Disick 2009 before realizing she was pregnant. Son Mason was born December of that year and the couple reconciled. In 2010, Disick proposed but Kardashian turned him down.[33] The couple's daughter, Penelope, was born on July 8, 2012 and their third child and second son, Reign, was born on Mason's fifth birthday, December 14, 2014.[34] After paparazzi photographs of Scott canoodling with former flame Chloe Bartoli in Monte Carlo surfaced last week, sources confirm to E! News that Kourtney has ended her relationship with Scott.[35][36] Said the source, "Kourtney has always taken Scott back and been by his side, but now with three kids it has gotten old. Kourtney has to do what's best for the kids." Fun Facts Disick bought a knighting ceremony for himself over the internet, after which he urged family members and friends to refer to him as "Lord Disick," "The Lord," or "LD."[37] He doesn't like coasters because he doesn't "respect surfaces."[38] Disick loves snowboarding,[39] and enjoys unwinding at night to reruns of Seinfeld.[40]

Story highlights Love gave the warning in 2005 She tweeted about it over the weekend (CNN) A video of Courtney Love warning young actresses about Harvey Weinstein has been burning up the internet. The video, which was first surfaced by TMZ, was shot in 2005 on the red carpet for the Pamela Anderson Comedy Central Roast. Love is asked if she has any advice for "a young girl moving to Hollywood." Love first hesitates and says, "I'll get libeled if I say it." "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party in the Four Seasons [hotel] don't go," Love says. Read More

Taylor Swift dropped the second song off her upcoming album Reputation on Sunday morning, causing a massive debate amongst her Swifties on social media over the inspiration behind “…Ready for It.” Many immediately went wild for the catchy tune (read the full lyrics here) saying it was written about her boyfriend Joe Alwyn, whom Swift has been dating since late last year. Get push notifications with news, features and more. “Some boys are trying too hard / He don’t try at all though / Younger than my exes but he acts like such a man, though,” sings Swift, 27, on the track. Alwyn, 26, is seven years younger than Calvin Harris and 10 years younger than Tom Hiddleston, whom Swift dated before the British actor. Wait, is Ready For It actually about her current boyfriend, Joe? Because ❤️ — Caitlin Rantala (@caitlinrantala) September 3, 2017 It sounds like …Ready For It? is about Joe Awlyn and @taylorswift13 and I'm about to scream because it's too cute — Brainiac (@Perspicax_) September 3, 2017 I love the fact that #ReadyForIt is about Joe Alwyn. It's Taylor's way to introduce us to him — Lola Foura (@OlgaFoura) September 3, 2017 I bet my pennies that this is about joe alwyn, but this also means Taylor's really happy in her relationship!!!! I'm so happy she's happy 😁😁 https://t.co/pKK6wt6zzw — fran (@centuryswift) September 3, 2017 Just as many fans, however, are positive the song was inspired by Harry Styles. Though she’s never confirmed the rumors, many believe her hit songs “Style” and “Out of the Woods” off her 1989 album were written about the former One Direction singer, who is 23 years old. Styles’ song “Two Ghosts” off his recent solo album is rumored to be a direct response to Swift’s “Style” because of his lyrics “Same lips red, same eyes blue / Same white shirt, couple more tattoos.” In “Style,” she sings “I got that red lip, classic thing that you like … You got that long hair slicked back, white T-shirt.” taylor swift's ready for it is yet another bop about harry styles and no one can tell me otherwise — Jess (@BettyxJug) September 3, 2017 Hi @Harry_Styles, Tay Tay just gave you an answer for "Two Ghosts". Your move…Taylor Swift – Ready For It? (Audio) https://t.co/SScnUPfhm3 — Rayna Malik (@fieryfyrfly) September 3, 2017 anyways ready for it is 100% about harry styles i will hear no arguments otherwise — vincci | uni (@lknopeswyatt) September 3, 2017 is ready for it about harry styles ??!! cause two ghosts… — julia (@radiogasm) September 3, 2017 …Ready For It? is definitely Taylor's song for Harry Styles. #ReputationEra — jules🐍 (@julieps48) September 3, 2017 @Harry_Styles listen to Ready For It. 'cause it seems that the song was written for you😏😭😂 #ReadyForIt — DJane✨ (@djanestyles) September 3, 2017 Either way, Swift’s new song is already a hit. Just hours after releasing “…Ready for It,” the singer kicked herself out of the top spot on the U.S. iTunes chart where her scathing single “Look What You Made Me Do” had been sitting at number one.

It seems like every day, someone steps forward with a sexual harassment or abuse allegation against someone they’ve had to work with. While the situations themselves are upsetting, it’s powerful to see so many women speak out. Parents may wonder how to address these multiple allegations with their children, which is why we’re happy that Candace Cameron Bure opened up about sexual harassment, and how she’s handling the topic. The Fuller House star has three teens at home — Natasha, Lev, and Maksim. Natasha is already in the public eye, having competed on The Voice back in 2016. Based on her exposure, Cameron Bure stated that she’s already had the conversation with her before, telling E! News that “Those are conversations that we have and really that I’ve been having with my children since they were young because that’s what parenting is about and helping them be secure with who they are and having moral boundaries and knowing what’s right and what’s wrong and what’s appropriate for people to ask of you and not and not to be afraid to speak out.” Making sure to emphasize incredible lessons like this may explain why Cameron Bure and her children are so close. Cameron Bure noted to E! News that she hasn’t been in a situation similar to the victims who are stepping forward, but has nothing but love and support for the women who have been put in these dangerous situations. "It's horrific listening to all the stories," she said. "Thinking about what so many women have gone through and the courage they have to come out as well. I'm glad it's all being exposed and I hope that we can eventually put an end to it." We’re so glad that Cameron Bure is addressing the topic, and applaud her for starting the conversation with her family so early.

The 57-year-old actor and director was honored at the American Film Institute’s 2018 Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute, where everyone from Jennifer Aniston to Ivan Reitman came out to support their friend. Many of Clooney’s former co-stars, including Don Cheadle, Anna Kendrick, Richard Kind and Juliana Margulies and Bill Murray, also toasted the actor inside the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. However, one person was notably M.I.A.: Julia Roberts. On May 30, AFI announced the 50-year-old actress would present her longtime friend and frequent co-star with his award. However, a spokesperson for AFI told E! News Thursday night, “Julia Roberts is regretfully unable to attend this evening’s AFI Life Achievement Award honoring George Clooney. Ms. Roberts is currently in production and due to a change in schedule, it was not possible to participate as planned.” Roberts has appeared opposite Clooney in several films, including Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve and Money Monster. The Oscar-winning actress starred in Clooney’s directorial debut, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. In Roberts’ stead, Shirley MacLaine presented Clooney with the AFI honor. The actress did, however, appear in a pre-taped video, message, as did former U.S. president Barack Obama.

Oprah surprised Tiffany Haddish on ‘The Ellen Show’ and like any sane person meeting Oprah, Tiffany sobbed uncontrollably when her idol stepped out. Watch the clip here! If you think you’re Oprah‘s biggest fan, think again. Tiffany Haddish proved she loves the Wrinkle In Time star more than anyone else when she cried over her on the Feb. 22 episode of The Ellen Show. While telling a story to Ellen Degeneres about how she was an extra on an Oprah-produced film, the 38-year-old explained that the former talkshow host said to her, “Well, keep me updated on your career, write me, let me know what you got going on.” But the letters always went unanswered. “And so, I would write her, right? She never wrote back,” the Girls Trip star added. Then, Ellen yells out, “Oprah, why didn’t you write back,” and out comes Oprah! Cue a sea of Tiffany’s tears! After the pair shared the warmest of hugs, they sat down and basically ignored the host of the show. Oprah turned to the comedian and said, “You are so so so good,” which Tiffany hilariously responded between sobs by saying, “Thank you! You told me that before in a dream!” The Keanu star couldn’t contain herself as her idol sang her praise, but when the media mogul explained that she lost her letter, Tiffany called her out with, “But I sent you like six!” We couldn’t love Tiffany anymore than we do after watching this video. Check it out above! HollywoodLifers, would you also cry literal tears meeting Oprah like Tiffany did?

One Direction is an English-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and, until his departure from the band in 2015, Zayn Malik. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after forming and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by social media, One Direction's five albums, Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013), Four (2014), and Made in the A.M. (2015), topped charts in most major markets, and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young", "Best Song Ever", "Story of My Life" and "Drag Me Down". The group has received numerous accolades including seven Brit Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards (including Artist of the Year in 2014 and 2015), and 28 Teen Choice Awards. In 2013, they earned an estimated $75 million becoming the second highest earning celebrity under 30 according to Forbes.[1] The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) honoured them as the Global Recording Artist of 2013.[2] Forbes ranked them as the fourth highest earning celebrities in the world in 2015,[3] and second in 2016.[4] After the release of Four, One Direction became the first band in the US Billboard 200 history to have their first four albums debut at number one.[5] Their third album, Midnight Memories, was the best-selling album worldwide in 2013 with 4 million copies sold globally.[6] The band's Where We Are Tour in support of Midnight Memories and Four, was the highest-grossing concert tour in 2014,[7] the highest-grossing tour by a vocal group in history, and the 18th highest-grossing concert tour of all time, grossing $290.2 million (unadjusted for inflation).[8] In 2014, Billboard named One Direction Artist of the Year.[9][10] The band went on hiatus in January 2016, allowing all members to pursue other projects.[11][12][13] As of 2017, the band has sold a total of 50 million records worldwide.[14] History 2010–2011: The X Factor The X Factor Live tour in 2011 One Direction onLive tour in 2011 In 2010, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson auditioned as solo candidates for the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor.[15] They failed to progress to the "Boys" category at "judges' houses" but were put together to form a five-piece boy band at Wembley Arena, in London, England, in July 2010, during the "bootcamp" stage of the competition,[16] thus qualifying for the "Groups" category. Nicole Scherzinger, a guest judge,[15][17][18] and Simon Cowell have both claimed to have come up with the idea of forming the band. In 2013, Cowell said that it "took him 10 minutes to put them together as a group".[19] Subsequently, the group got together for two weeks to get to know each other and to practice.[20][21] Styles came up with the name One Direction.[20] For their qualifying song at "judges' houses", and their first song as a group, One Direction sang an acoustic version of "Torn".[22] Cowell later commented that their performance convinced him that they "were confident, fun, like a gang of friends, and kind of fearless as well."[23] Within the first four weeks of the live shows, they were his last act in the competition.[24] The group quickly gained popularity in the UK.[23] One Direction achieved third place in the competition and immediately after the final, their song "Forever Young", which would have been released if they had won The X Factor, was leaked onto the internet.[25] Shortly afterwards it was confirmed that One Direction had been signed by Cowell to a reported £2 million Syco Records record contract.[26][27] Recording for their debut album began in January 2011, as they flew to Los Angeles to work with RedOne, a record producer.[28] A book licensed by One Direction, One Direction: Forever Young (Our Official X Factor Story), was published by HarperCollins in February 2011,[29] subsequently topping The Sunday Times Best Seller list.[30] The same month, the boy band and other contestants from the series participated in the X Factor Live Tour.[31] During the tour, the group performed for 500,000 people throughout the UK.[32] After the tour concluded in April 2011, the group continued working on their debut album.[28] Recording took place in Stockholm, London and Los Angeles, as One Direction worked with producers Carl Falk, Savan Kotecha, Steve Mac, and Rami Yacoub, among others.[33][34] 2011–2012: Up All Night Released in September 2011, One Direction's debut single, "What Makes You Beautiful", reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, after becoming the most pre-ordered Sony Music Entertainment single in history.[36][37] Subsequent singles, "Gotta Be You" and "One Thing", peaked in the UK Singles Chart top ten.[38][39] In November 2011, they signed a record deal with Columbia Records in North America.[40] Steve Barnett, the co-chairman of Columbia Records, said it was not a difficult decision to sign One Direction; "I just thought there was a void, and maybe they could seize and hold it."[41] "What Makes You Beautiful" was released in the United States in February 2012,[42] where it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 28, becoming the highest debut for a British act since 1998.[43] It has sold over 4 million copies in the US[44] Upon arrival in the US in February 2012, One Direction embarked on a radio promotion spree, as well as their first North American concert tour as an opening act for Big Time Rush.[45][46] They made their first US television appearance on The Today Show, at the Rockefeller Center; an estimated 15,000 fans descended on the plaza.[47] Critically commended for its appeal to the teenage audience,[48][49][50] One Direction's first studio album, Up All Night, was released globally in early 2012. It became the UK's fastest-selling debut album of 2011,[51] and topped the charts in sixteen countries.[52] The album bowed atop the Billboard 200 chart, making One Direction the first British group in US chart history to enter at number one with their debut album.[53] They were inducted into the Guinness World Records as a result.[54] Up All Night also became the first album by a boy band to sell 500,000 digital copies in the US and, by August 2012, had sold over 3 million copies worldwide.[55][56] In April 2012, an American band that went by the same name filed a trademark infringement lawsuit.[57] According to the lawsuit, the US band had been using the name since 2009, recorded two albums and filed an application to register the trademark name in the US in February 2011.[57] The US band said they were entitled to three times the profits made by the UK band, as well as compensatory damages in excess of US$1 million.[57] The lawsuit claimed that Syco and Sony Music "chose to ignore the plaintiff's rights and wilfully infringed them" after they realised in early 2011 that the two bands shared the same name.[57] Syco Records subsequently counter-sued, suggesting the US group was trying to make money from One Direction's success and that the boy band was the first to use the name in US interstate commerce.[58] The BBC reported in September 2012 that the UK group won the legal dispute over the right to keep using their band name; the US band changed its name to Uncharted Shores.[58] The change of name was announced in a joint statement that also noted both groups were happy with the outcome.[58] In December 2011, One Direction embarked on their first headlining UK concert tour, the Up All Night Tour.[59] In early 2012, they announced Australasian and North American legs of the concert tour, with dates from April to July 2012.[60][61] The tour, comprising 62 shows, was met with positivity both critically and commercially.[62][63][64][65][66][67][68] A recording of a concert from the tour, Up All Night: The Live Tour, was released in May 2012.[69] In addition to the DVD topping the charts in twenty-five countries, its global sales had exceeded 1 million copies by August 2012.[56][70] One Direction's first book to be licensed in America, Dare to Dream: Life as One Direction, published in the United States in May 2012, topped The New York Times Best Seller list.[71] In June 2012, Nick Gatfield, the chairman and chief executive officer of Sony Music Entertainment UK, stated how he expects One Direction to represent a $100 million business empire over 2013.[72] Gatfield was quoted as saying, "What you might not know about One Direction is that they already represent a $50 million business and that's a figure we expect to double next year".[72] In August 2012, the group's record sales exceeded 8 million singles, 3 million albums, and 1 million DVDs, and they performed "What Makes You Beautiful" at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in London, which represented the handover to Rio de Janeiro as the host of the 2016 Summer Olympics.[56][73] One Direction were the biggest winners of the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards winning their three nominations on 6 September 2012, including Best New Artist.[74] 2012–2013: Take Me Home One Direction's second studio album, Take Me Home, was released in November 2012.[75] Take Me Home was written in groups and has an average of just under five songwriters per track. Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub, and Carl Falk, who composed One Direction's hits "What Makes You Beautiful" and "One Thing", spent six months in Stockholm developing songs for the album, and were able to shape melodies around their tones.[76] One Direction began recording the album in May 2012, in Stockholm at Kinglet Studios.[77][78][79] The album cover artwork features the group surrounding a traditional British K2 red telephone box, a familiar sight on the streets of the UK.[80] Take Me Home garnered mixed reviews from music critics. There was praise for its quality of production, while it was criticised for its generic, rushed nature.[81][82][83][84][85][86] The album's lead single, "Live While We're Young", released in September 2012, reached the top ten in almost every country it charted in and recorded the highest one-week opening sales figure for a song by a non-US artist in the US[87] The album and its second single, "Little Things", both debuted at number one in the UK simultaneously; something that One Direction became the youngest act in British chart history to achieve.[88] Take Me Home sold 540,000 copies in its first week in the US, debuted atop the Billboard 200, and topped the charts in more than thirty-four other countries.[89][90] Additionally, Up All Night and Take Me Home were the number three and number four best-selling albums of 2012 globally, each album selling over 5 million units worldwide.[91] One Direction performed "Little Things" at the 2012 Royal Variety Performance in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II, and headlined a sold-out show at New York City's Madison Square Garden on 3 December 2012.[92][93] In February 2013, One Direction released a cover version of "One Way or Another" and "Teenage Kicks", "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)", as the 2013 Comic Relief single.[94] As part of their involvement with the UK charity, One Direction travelled to Ghana to volunteer at a children's hospital, visit a school and make donations. The Official Charts Company revealed that One Direction had sold 2,425,000 records in the UK by February 2013.[95] One Direction embarked on their second concert tour in February 2013, the Take Me Home Tour.[96] The concert tour consists of over 100 shows in Europe, North America and Australasia. Ticket sales reached 300,000 within a day of release in the UK and Ireland, which included a six-date sell-out at the O 2 Arena in London.[97] In the Australian and New Zealand markets, tickets grossed US$15.7 million, with all 190,000 tickets being sold for the eighteen shows to be held.[98] The tour received critical acclaim from music critics who praised the band's live vocals and their performance abilities and was a commercial success, selling 1,635,000 tickets from 134 shows.[99] 2013–2014: Midnight Memories and This Is Us One Direction: This Is Us, a 3D documentary and concert film about the group directed by Morgan Spurlock and produced by Spurlock, Ben Winston, Adam Milano and Simon Cowell, was released by TriStar Pictures on 30 August 2013.[100] The film features the song "Best Song Ever", released on 22 July 2013. "Best Song Ever" was the lead single of the group's third studio album Midnight Memories.[101][102] The film was a box office success, topping the UK and US box offices and grossing over $60 million worldwide, and became the fourth highest-grossing concert movie.[103] "Best Song Ever" broke the 24-Hour Vevo Record with 10.9 million views on YouTube (this was the second time the band held the record with "Live While We're Young" attaining 8.2 million views on 20 September 2012).[104][105] On 16 May 2013, the band announced their first stadium tour, the Where We Are Tour, which began in April 2014.

The day constituted of a landmark 7.5-hour socially interactive YouTube live-stream featuring live band performances, celebrity guests including, Simon Cowell, Cindy Crawford, Piers Morgan, Jerry Springer and many more. The event was unique not only because of its long runtime but the unprecedented use of social media whereby fans got to participate in the show interact directly with the band via Google+ Hangout. Midnight Memories was released globally on 25 November 2013. It debuted at number one in the UK and in the US, making them the first group to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with its first three albums, and the second to reach the top after The Monkees in 1967.[109] The album was described by the band as edgier and as having a "slightly rockier tone" than their previous efforts.[110] "Story of My Life" was revealed as the second single of the album with each member posting a photo from their childhood.[111][112] To promote the album, the band performed on both the American and British versions of The X Factor.[113] In December 2013, One Direction broke yet another UK sales record with the DVD and Blu-ray release of their 3-D concert film This is Us. Nearly 270,000 copies of the film were sold in the UK within three days of its release, beating the record previously set by Michael Jackson's This Is It in 2010 by 10,000 copies.[114] The group was named among the Top Global artists of 2013 by the IFPI because of strong digital downloads, physical albums, on-demand streams, and music videos.[2] 2014–2015: Four and Malik's departure On 21 July 2014, One Direction announced One Direction: Where We Are - The Concert Film, a film which documents the concerts of 28 and 29 June 2014 that took place in San Siro Stadium during their Where We Are Tour. After the announcement, the band announced the film would also have a limited 10–11 October 2014 international cinema release before its home media release in November 2014.[115] The group also released an autobiography book titled Who We Are on 25 September 2014.[116] On 8 September 2014, One Direction announced their fourth studio album to be titled Four, set to be released on 17 November 2014.[117][118][119] As part of the announcement, one of the songs from the album, "Fireproof" was released for free download for 24 hours on their official website.[117][118][119] "Steal My Girl", the album's lead single, was released on 29 September 2014,[120] and the music video was released on 24 October 2014. The second single from the album, "Night Changes", was released on 14 November, three days before the album's release.[121] Four was released on 17 November 2014, topping the Billboard 200 and the UK Album Chart.[122][123] On 22 November 2014, Paul Higgins, the group's tour manager who has been with them since its formation, parted ways with the band.[124] The band confirmed at the BBC Music Awards that following the success of Four, they had hopes to continue to go "somewhere else" on their fifth album.[125] In support of Midnight Memories and Four, the band's Where We Are Tour was the highest-grossing concert tour in 2014,[7] the highest-grossing tour by a vocal group in history, and the 18th highest-grossing concert tour of all time, grossing $290.2 million worldwide.[8] On 25 March 2015, the band released a statement announcing Malik's departure.[126][127][128] They admitted that they were angry at first because of Zayn Malik's decision.[129] The group made their first official public appearance as a four-piece on The Late Late Show with James Corden on 14 May, where they confirmed that they would continue working without a new fifth member.[130] Since leaving the band, Malik has gone on to have solo success with his number one debut single "Pillowtalk" and album Mind of Mine.[131] 2015–2017: Made in the A.M. and hiatus On 31 July 2015, the group released "Drag Me Down" without promotional material or announcement. The single is the first single from their fifth studio album, Made in the A.M., and the first material released by the group after Malik's departure.[132] Following the release, it was revealed that the group would going on hiatus in 2016 to take a break.[133] On 22 September, the title for the fifth studio album, Made in the A.M., was officially announced along with promotional single "Infinity" being released.[134] The group began to reveal the track listing on their Snapchat stories to which it was later confirmed on iTunes.[135] The album was released on 13 November 2015.[136] At the 2015 American Music Awards on 22 November, One Direction won the award for Artist of the Year for the second year in succession.[137] Louis Tomlinson later confirmed that the break would be around 18 months. On 13 December, One Direction performed on The X Factor final. Their last televised performance as a group, before their hiatus, was on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve on 31 December 2015.[138] On 13 January 2016, Us Weekly published a report claiming that the group's hiatus would become a permanent split, with a "source" citing that each of the four remaining group members did not renew their contracts following the completion of the On The Road Again Tour in October 2015.[139] Representatives for the group denied said-report in a statement to Billboard, stating, "nothing has changed regarding hiatus plans for the group, and all will be revealed in due time from the band members' own mouths."[140][141] By May 2017, all members of the group had released solo singles.[142] Despite saying the hiatus would last 18 months, the band still are yet to confirm when they will reform. At the 2017 Brit Awards, One Direction won the Video of the Year award for their song "History". Payne accepted the award on the behalf of the band.[143] In February 2018, it was reported that the group has folded its touring company after having applied for removal within the Companies House registry in October 2017.[144][145] Artistry One Direction's debut studio album, Up All Night (2011), is predominantly a pop music record, containing elements of teen pop, dance-pop, pop rock, with electropop and rock influences.[150][151][152][153] Digital Spy's Robert Copsey described the album as a "collection of PG pop rock with killer choruses",[154] while The New York Times considered it "full of easy rock-inflected pop, blithe and sometimes clever."[155] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard acknowledged that the album demonstrates an originality in sound that was "necessary for the revitalization of the boy band movement".[153] The songs "One Thing" and "What Makes You Beautiful" were particularly noted for the genres of power pop and pop rock, for their "powerhouse" guitar riffs and "forceful" choruses.[146][147][150][156] Their second studio album, Take Me Home (2012), is characterised by rock-inherited pop, prominent electric guitar riffs, bright synthesisers, a homogeneous sound and message, and the pitch-correcting software Auto-Tune.[84][85][86][157][158] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian interpreted its signature sound as a "peppy, synth-bolstered take on early-80s new-wave pop, heavy on clipped rhythms and chugging guitars," which, he said, is at least an improvement on the substitute contemporary R&B "that was once the grim lot of the boyband."[85] Jon Caramanica, writing in The New York Times, considered the album "far more mechanical" than their debut album, although noted that it is sonically and lyrically similar.[84] The album's lyricism speaks of falling in love, unrequited love, the insistence that flaws are what make a person unique, commitment, jealousy and longing for past significant others.[84][85][86][159] Erica Futterman for Rolling Stone favoured their live acoustic performances as both showing, "Horan's ability to play guitar, as well as One Direction's admirable live vocals. There was no need to worry about a backing track or a bum note, a pleasant realization at a pop show."[160] Herald Sun's Cameron Adams opined that One Direction have "strong pop voices".[161] Melody Lau of the National Post wrote, "It's easy to get lost in inherent appeal of their perfectly coiffed dos and almost-too-put-together preppy style but somewhere in the midst of all the love-struck squeals of teenage girls are guys who can actually sing and, to a certain extent, entertain."[162] Jane Stevenson of the portal site Canoe concurred: "What I didn't really prepare myself for was that they all can actually sing in concert."[163] Chris Richards, writing in The Washington Post, dissented from the approval: "As the five traded couplets, it was tough to imagine a future Justin Timberlake, Ricky Martin or Bobby Brown emerging from the pack. No one voice stood out."[164] Mike Wass of Idolator felt One Direction's "surprisingly accomplished effort" of Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody" proved that One Direction are "more than capable" of evolving their sound.[165] Their third album Midnight Memories (2013) is a pop rock record, a slight departure from the band's original teen pop sound. Liam Payne called Midnight Memories a "slightly rockier and edgier" album than their previous material. The album is heavily influenced by 80's rock[166] and folk music and briefly integrates elements of dubstep, notably in "Little White Lies". The album's lyrical themes primarily revolve around love, heartbreak and sexual intercourse. Many critics praised its lyrical depth and musical composition, as well as the group's level of involvement in the production process.[167] Their fourth album Four (2014) was released on 17 November 2014. Payne once again claimed that the album would be "edgier" and that the group had written most of the songs for it; Horan came up with the name of the album, commemorating the fact that it is One Direction's fourth record to date and that it has been four years since the band's formation. Signifying a further maturation of their pop sound, the album's first single, Steal My Girl, was dubbed by Billboard as "no What Makes You Beautiful, but its Coldplay-like piano pop could be a good direction",[168] and that the band was "not entirely ready to let go of its bubble-gum days". Rolling Stone described the record as "saturated with retro vibes"; its songs "split the difference between big, splashy Eighties pop rock and more elegant Seventies flavours – a very pesky whipper-snapper move that's not so far from what Haim's hit Days Are Gone did last year."[169] Other ventures Endorsements In 2011, One Direction became the face of Pokemon Black and White, starring in a series of television adverts.[170] They were the first installments in the fifth generation of the Pokémon series of role-playing games.[171] They also launched Nokia C3 and Nokia C2-02 phones. To promote the launch Nokia has made a series of photos of the band members using the phones to take photos of themselves.[172] In 2012, They teamed up with Colgate to launch their own One Direction Colgate MaxFresh Power Toothbrush, the One Direction Colgate Maxfresh Manual Toothbrush, and the One Direction Colgate MaxFresh Toothpaste.[173] The band was signed by Pepsi in a multi-million dollar advertising deal in 2012.[174] Pepsi's 'Live for Now' campaign starring One Direction battling NFL player Drew Brees has premiered on the brand's social media channels. It aired on TV in the US during the MLB playoffs, the World Series, NFL season and The X Factor, which is sponsored by Pepsi Max. Additional social media marketing includes a tie up with Shazaam, whereby consumers that use the digital music app in conjunction with the ad both on TV and online will be able to view exclusive content and link back to iTunes to buy One Direction’s single, 'Live While We're Young'.[175] Mini figures based on members of the group was launched for the band's US fans after the agreement was signed by American firm Hasbro.[176] Hasbro's girls business posted a 23 percent quarterly revenue gain, with One Direction products, such as dolls and a board game tied to the boy band, and My Little Pony toys contributing to the growth.[177] The band has signed up to endorse Filipino clothing brand, Penshoppe.[178] In 2013, one direction have announced that fans will get a chance to enter their very own 1D World in their brand new pop-up shop. The store will sell exclusive never seen before merchandise. One offer will be life-size cardboard cut-outs of the boys, phone cases, T-shirts and even the 1D Onesie.[179] The pop-up 1D World stores have become a huge success around the world, opening up in cities including Brisbane, Toronto, Vancouver, Chicago and Stockholm.[180] Nabisco became the title sponsor of One Direction’s North American tour[181] The band became the new faces of Toyota VIOS, releasing behind-the-scenes look at their commercial for the vehicle.[182] One Direction's debut fragrance, Our Moment, launched exclusively at Harrods and in their website, due to the band's busy schedule, the boys will not be in attendance at the in-store launch.[183] There were 4-second trailers released from the week beginning Monday 12 August, one for each member. The full length advert for the fragrance was released on 24 August 2013. It features the song "My Favourite Things" which originally by Julie Andrews from The Sound of Music covered by Diana Vickers.[184] Payne has reported that the idea came from a fan's petition. "A Twitter fan started an online petition for us to launch a fragrance, and we talked to our management", he said.[185] The perfume is the best selling famous fragrance of Christmas 2013. Its sales have beaten fragrances from other celebrities such as Lady Gaga's Fame, Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday and Britney Spears' Fantasy.[186][187] In 2014, following the success of their previous scent Our Moment, the band has creatively named their second scent That Moment. The news was delivered via a video featuring Styles.[188] There will be a matching shower gel and body lotion. The band released a short, 6-minute film to promote the new fragrance.[189] They released a commercial for their third fragrance, "You & I." The name, taken from their Midnight Memories hit of the same name. The announcement of the fragrance commercial was teased on Twitter, with pieces of the cover art which shows all five of the guys being tweeted out one at a time. The commercial, which premiered on the One Direction fragrance site, is a bit goofier than "J'adore Dior,"[190] In the clip, a hexagonal pink bottle can be seen sitting in the centre of a highly fortified white room with motion lasers covering the floor. The boys are seen entering through the ceiling, suspended by wires and clad in all-black.[191] In 2015, One Direction appeared in an advert for the Toyota Vios. the commercial aired in Thailand.[192] Coca-Cola Mexico launched the session and full interview with One Direction, with a series of commercials in which Tomlinson, Payne, Styles and Horan showed us what it means to be a True Friend.[193] One Direction revealed their fourth fragrance ‘Between Us’ at The Sanderson in London, England on 24 June. Along with the bottle image, the band released a new commercial. Between Us comes after the band’s successful fragrances Our Moment, That Moment and You & I, which was the US’s number one celebrity women’s fragrance launch of 2014.[194] The band appeared in a Honda Civic ad, testing the sedan out for all the group's pop-star needs. The TV spot shows the quartet testing out the car's stereo, style and trunk space with a humorous tone and the tagline "It's all One Direction approved." The ad is set to the 1D single Drag Me Down. The commercial celebrates the launch of the new 2016 Honda Civic sedan and coincides with the release of One Direction's new album, Made in the A.M.. The group's 2015 U.S. tour was also supported by Honda.[195] Philanthropy In 2011, the band performed on the BBC's Children in Need 2011 charity telethon, helping raise over 26 million pounds.[196] In 2012 they extended their involvement with Children in Need as they opened the telecast with a performance of their single "Live While We're Young". A prominent annual event in British culture, the group said it was "incredible" to be involved in Children in Need as it was something that they had "always watched as children".[197] In February 2013, One Direction released "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)" (a medley of "One Way or Another" and "Teenage Kicks") as the 2013 single for the UK's other major charity telethon Comic Relief.[94] For ITV's Santa charity Christmas campaign, they filmed a set of pleas to their fans and the general public, asking them to donate £2.[198] The band have made numerous other appearances for charitable causes, including the 2011 Pride of Britain Awards where they presented 13-year-old quadruple amputee Danielle Bailey the Child of Courage award at her school assembly, and the 2014 Royal Variety Performance where they played in front of Prince William and Catherine at the London Palladium.[199][200] In September 2012, Niall Horan organised an event to raise money for Irish Autism Action and another charity, called Temporary Emergency Accommodation Mullingar, based in his hometown. Due to overwhelming demand to participate in the fundraising, the ticket website for the event broke down. Horan's brother Greg commented on the website crash, saying that "there were 500 tickets and they were all snapped up pretty quick".[201] In 2013, band members Liam Payne and Harry Styles partnered with Trekstock, a leading cancer charity to help raise money for cancer research.[202] As ambassadors of the charity, the duo collaborated to offer the chance for one fan and a friend to win an evening out with them in return for a donation to the charity as part of an exclusive "#HangwithLiam&Harry" global campaign. They had originally set a goal of raising $500,000 and ended up raising $784,984. Trekstock later added that this amount would allow them to "complete funding of their Hodgkin's lymphoma trial, in the hope of offering a much brighter future to thousands of children and young people affected by this form of disease." One Direction were named the most charitable in 2013 behind Taylor Swift by social change organisation DoSomething.org.[203] In 2014, One Direction donated £600,000 for the Stand up to Cancer campaign by giving portions of their ticket sales revenues from their Where We Are Tour.[204] On 15 November 2014, One Direction joined the charity group Band Aid 30 along with other British and Irish pop acts, recording the latest version of the track "Do They Know It's Christmas?" at Sarm West Studios in Notting Hill, London, to raise money for the 2014 Ebola crisis in Western Africa.[205] In 2015, One Direction launched 'Action 1D' campaign to raise awareness of global issues. The initiative aims to end extreme poverty, tackle inequality and slow down climate change with the help of their millions of fans. It is part of the wider action/2015 campaign, a global citizen’s movement that is all about the idea that 2015 can be the year when the world can set the agenda to end major global issues. One Direction will be asking their fans to describe the kind of world they want to live in by sharing powerful pieces of creative content, including videos and photos, using the hashtag #Action1D.[206] The quartet also starred in a campaign video, appealing to fans to join the movement.[207] Image One Direction greet Swedish fans in Stockholm , May 2012 A One Direction merchandising shop in Leeds in March 2013. Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph, in an article on One Direction's success in North America, notes that Americans had left a gap in the market and it took the prominence of Justin Bieber to demonstrate that there still was a market for "clean cut, wholesome, whiter-than-white, middle class parent friendly pop: cute boys advocating puppy love. And what could be better than one cute boy, if not five?"[208] One Direction have been described as sparking a resurgence in the interest in boy bands, and as forming part of a new "British Invasion" in the United States.[209][210][211][212][213][214] Bill Werde, a representative of Billboard magazine, commented, "There's a lot of possibility here, there's a lot of upside, that level of talent with those kinds of looks, it's really a perfect storm for a massive, massive successful phenomenon."[215] Sonny Takhar, the chief executive officer of Syco Records, attributes the breakthrough to the power of social media. "Sometimes you feel the song's the star, but it's not like that here – it's the act," he said. "It's a real moment. Social media has become the new radio, it's never broken an act globally like this before."[215] Will Bloomfield, the group's manager, added, "These guys live online, and so do their fans."[214] Their management employs a social media team and the members all tweet themselves, "which helps create the illusion that they couldn't be any closer to their fans," according to Caspar Llewellyn Smith, writing for The Guardian.[215] One Direction's Twitter account had amassed 10 million followers by February 2013, with the account gaining followers at an average of 21,000 per day.[216] In an approach pioneered by The Beatles, each member is known for his feature; Horan is "the cute one", Malik is "the quiet and mysterious one", Payne is "the sensible one", Styles is "the charming one" and Tomlinson is "the funny one".[217] Each member's individual identity is reinforced by their intentionally different personal styles. Caroline Watson, the band's original stylist, spoke about styling the band, "At the beginning I didn't want them all in black or all in leather—that whole stereotypical boy band thing." Instead, her original idea was for them to be the "male equivalent to the Spice Girls", with each member being a part of the group but still having his own individual style.[218] Horan commented on One Direction as a boy band, "People think that a boy band is air-grabs and [being] dressed in all one colour. We're boys in a band. We're trying to do something different from what people would think is the typical kind of boy band. We're trying to do different kinds of music and we're just trying to be ourselves, not squeaky clean."[219] Leah Collins, writing for the National Post, remarked that One Direction had succeeded on the latter front,[219] "For the most part, that just means the group presents themselves as typical, goofy and uncensored teenage boys – posting jokey YouTube videos, for instance, or boozing at awards shows."[219] Writing for The Observer, Kitty Empire opined, "One Direction fulfill a great many boy band prerequisites (looks, soppy lyrics, tune-grasp, fame-lust) but their lack of routines points to the subtle digressions afoot here".[220] Discography Filmography Tours Awards and nominations One Direction has received seven BRIT Awards,[223] seven American Music Awards,[224] six Billboard Music Awards,[225], five Billboard Touring Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards,[226] among other awards. One Direction holds the record as the most awarded act at the Teen Choice Awards with 28 wins from 31 nominations.[227] See also Publications One Direction: Forever Young , HarperCollins (17 February 2011) ISBN 978-0-00-743230-1 , HarperCollins (17 February 2011) ISBN 978-0-00-743230-1 One Direction: The Official Annual 2012 , HarperCollins (1 September 2011) ISBN 978-0-00-743625-5 , HarperCollins (1 September 2011) ISBN 978-0-00-743625-5 Dare to Dream: Life as One Direction , HarperCollins (15 September 2011) ISBN 978-0-00-744439-7 , HarperCollins (15 September 2011) ISBN 978-0-00-744439-7 One Direction: Where We Are: Our Band, Our Story: 100% Official , HarperCollins (19 November 2013) ISBN 978-0-00-748900-8 , HarperCollins (19 November 2013) ISBN 978-0-00-748900-8 One Direction: Who We Are: Our Official Autobiography, HarperCollins (25 September 2014) ISBN 978-0-00-757731-6

Brad Pitt has reportedly apologised to his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, more than a decade after their 2005 marriage break-up. Brad Pitt has reportedly apologised to his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston, more than a decade after their 2005 marriage break-up. According to US magazine In Touch, the actor (52) has offered an apology to his ex-wife for the way he treated her in the aftermath of their split. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston started dating in 1998, they married in 2000 and divorced five years later. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) The actor recently ended his marriage with his Mrs & Mrs Smith costar Angelina Jolie, with whom he has six children. "He's been determined to apologise for everything he put her through and that's exactly what he did. It was the most intimate conversation Brad and Jen have ever had."

He also made amends for leaving her for Angelina," the source said. Aniston wed actor and screenwriter Justin Theroux in 2015.

(Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) Meanwhile, Pitt admitted earlier this year that he was “boozing too much” in the months before his split from Angelina Jolie, and has turned to therapy to help him through. The Hollywood star also said he slept on the floor of a friend’s house for six weeks after his wife filed for divorce, because he could not bear to be in their family home. In his first interview since the separation, Pitt told GQ Style he was a “professional” drinker, saying: “I can’t remember a day since I got out of college when I wasn’t boozing or had a spliff, or something … I mean, I stopped everything except boozing when I started my family. "But even this last year, you know – things I wasn’t dealing with. I was boozing too much. It’s just become a problem. "And I’m really happy, it’s been half a year now, which is bittersweet, but I’ve got my feelings in my fingertips again." He continued: "I enjoy wine very, very much, but I just ran it to the ground. I had to step away for a minute. And truthfully I could drink a Russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good." Pitt, who has six children with Jolie, admitted that he had "hit the lottery" but let it go to waste, and is now finding comfort in therapy. He said: "I just started therapy. I love it, I love it. I went through two therapists to get to the right one." He added: "For me this period has really been about looking at my weaknesses and failures and owning my side of the street. I’m an asshole when it comes to this need for justice … It’s such a silly idea, the idea that the world is fair. "And this is coming from a guy who hit the lottery, I’m well aware of that. I hit the lottery, and I still would waste my time on those hollow pursuits." After Angelina filed for divorce, Brad could not even bear to be in their house in the Hollywood Hills, saying: "It was too sad to be here at first, so I went and stayed on a friend’s floor, a little bungalow in Santa Monica. “I crashed over here a little bit, my friend (David) Fincher lives right here. He’s always going to have an open door for me, and I was doing a lot of stuff on the Westside, so I stayed at my friend’s house on the floor for a month and a half.” When asked if the split was like grieving a death, Pitt replied: “Yeah,” before adding that it has made him want to be a better father. He said: "It’s hit me smack in the face with our divorce: I gotta be more. I gotta be more for them. I have to show them. And I haven’t been great at it." Pitt faced an FBI probe into an alleged altercation between him and his 15-year-old adopted son Maddox on a private plane, which happened just days before Jolie filed for divorce in September. The investigation was closed in November, with Pitt facing no charges over the incident. Online Editors

Brenda, Dylan and Kelly, Beverly Hills, 90210 Paris is the city of love — and also heartache in Brenda's case. During her summer overseas, beau Dylan and BFF Kelly hooked up and kept their tryst secret until after Brenda dumped him later. Unfortunately, this triangle met a premature end when Shannen Doherty left the series, but that only paved the way to another longstanding 9-0 triangle: Dylan, Kelly and Brandon.

Survivor player Zeke Smith is a welcome shot of enthusiastic, wickedly smart energy on the show. He proved to be a sly force of nature throughout season 33’s Millennials vs. Gen X edition, winning allies with savvy gameplay and a wide grin. And on season 34’s Game Changers — which is currently airing and pits some of Survivor’s most interesting experienced players against one another — Zeke has been strategic, focused, and giddy as hell to be playing a game he loves with players he’s watched for years. Zeke is also transgender. But this isn’t a fact that you, or I, or anyone outside the people he’s revealed it to would know if it weren’t for Survivor’s April 12 episode, during which a member of Zeke’s tribe outed him in a moment of vindictive desperation — while simultaneously declaring that Zeke was being deceptive by not revealing his transgender status. Survivor has been a surprisingly astute study of personal politics since it premiered on CBS nearly two decades ago, in 2000. (I mean, watching people do puzzles in the jungle is fun, but it’s not “34 seasons and counting” levels of fun.) When pushed to their physical edges and worn down to their rawest nerves, people tend to either fall back (almost gratefully) into what a script would have them do or turn around and surprise you. This episode was definitely a surprise — but in more ways than that first nasty moment. The way Zeke was outed furthered a pernicious misconception, the kind that puts transgender people in real danger every day. But by the end of the hour, there was, incredibly, more reason to be hopeful about the way trans people are seen and represented than before. Zeke was outed when a fellow player got desperate and made a reprehensible decision For a while, “What Happened on Exile Stays on Exile” was about as typical an episode of Survivor as any other episode that’s aired this season. One tribe won pizza; the other had a tearful conversation around a campfire. When Zeke’s tribe failed to spell “metamorphosis” in a word jumble during the final challenge, they were put in the unfortunate position of having to vote someone out during Tribal Council. The obvious pick was Jeff Varner, since Varner’s only ally was voted off the show last week. And Varner knew it, especially once Zeke — a new friend — told him frankly that his chances weren’t looking good. Survivor contestants usually try to pull a few Hail Marys once they realize they’re circling the drain. But for Varner, feeling the pinch of possible elimination, that apparently involved any strategy he could come up with to torpedo Zeke’s ironclad alliance with the rest of the tribe. “Zeke’s not being truthful,” Varner insisted to the camera. “I know something about Zeke that none of them know. ... This is not the guy you think he is.” It sounds like typical Survivor talk. But these statements take on a whole new, and horrifying, context in light of what Varner did at Tribal Council. After his first pitch to make everyone turn on a fellow tribe member flopped, he said, “There’s more.” He then turned to Zeke and said, point blank, “Why haven’t you told anyone you’re transgender?” “What I’m showing here,” Varner continued as Zeke and his teammates blinked, “is a deception.” Zeke, in a remarkably candid piece for the Hollywood Reporter, writes that he was too shocked to react at first. He and the Survivor producers had apparently talked about the possibility that him being transgender might come up, but according to Survivor host and producer Jeff Probst, they agreed that “if his story was to be told, he would be the one to decide when, where, and how.” (For those wondering if this episode falls into that category, it’s not clear if Zeke would have — or could have — preferred to keep this episode off the air. According to GLAAD, its Transgender Media Program worked with CBS and Zeke “for several months to ensure that when the episode aired, Zeke would have the opportunity to speak for himself about his experience.”) A longtime Survivor obsessive, Zeke wrote for THR that he just wanted the chance to play as Zeke, a guy with a knack for strategy and thinking three steps ahead. “I didn’t discuss my trans status in my initial [audition] video,” he writes, “because I wanted the show to desire me as a game player and an eccentric storyteller, not as ‘The First Trans Survivor Player.’” The show seemed to respect that — but one of its contestants didn’t. And now, a quick reminder of why calling trans people “deceptive” is such a dangerous thing to do As Zeke’s teammates rose up to call out Varner during Tribal Council (more on that in a minute), Debbie Wanner declared that Zeke not disclosing that he’s transgender “isn’t deceiving us strategically in a game.” And in a reply I hope Varner truly regrets, he doubled down by insisting that it “reveals the ability to deceive.” Let’s be very clear: Saying that trans people are inherently deceptive feeds into one of the most poisonous misconceptions about what it means to be transgender. It paints trans people as liars who are willfully misleading innocents astray, when they’re just people trying to live their lives. It invalidates their identities and experiences in a way that makes them more vulnerable to discrimination and assault. It is, in other words, an extraordinarily shitty thing to do to someone, even if you don’t consider him a friend, as Varner appeared to think of Zeke. By all accounts, Varner deeply regrets what he did. And Zeke has acknowledged that he can forgive Varner’s mistake. But he also admits that he probably can’t forget the toxicity of Varner’s words. As he wrote for THR: In proclaiming “Zeke is not the guy you think he is” and that “there is deception on levels y’all don’t understand,” Varner is saying that I’m not really a man and that simply living as my authentic self is a nefarious trick. In reality, by being Zeke the dude, I am being my most honest self — as is every other transgender person going about their daily lives. In fact, as Zeke put it to People, Varner’s entire strategy hinged on painting trans people as liars. “That reasoning is infinitely worse than him outing me because it’s the same one used to discriminate against, attack and murder trans people,” Zeke said. “What’s great is that nobody bought it.” If there’s anything encouraging about this disaster, it’s what Zeke and his competitors did next In the moments after Varner outed Zeke, everyone else who was present — including host Jeff Probst — was taken aback. They were not, however, confused. In a swarm of immediate and furious disgust, a few phrases kept jumping out: “You didn’t have to do that.” “That’s personal.” “That’s wrong of you to do that.” Immediately, what could have been nothing more than a cruel televised outing became something else entirely: an unequivocal shutdown of unfounded anti-trans rhetoric on national television, and on a landmark network reality show at that. Varner, scrambling, first defended his reasoning with the aforementioned “ability to deceive” nonsense, only to have Probst fire back that Varner was taking “a giant leap of logic.” When Varner then tried to save face by reminding everyone he was just trying to win a million dollars, contestant Tai Trang exclaimed in horror, “[By] outing somebody?!” Nothing Varner tried could get anyone around him to mince words. Fan favorite Ozzy Lusth — who’s now on his fourth round of Survivor with Game Changers — told Varner he should be “ashamed ... of what [he’s] willing to do,” adding that he was “playing with people’s lives at this point.” Eventually, Varner began to fall all over himself apologizing, saying he thought Zeke was “out and loud and proud.” But Varner and Zeke’s teammate Sarah Lacina wasn’t buying it, delivering a truly impressive eye roll and calling Varner’s tactic “a malicious attack.” She then stumbled into a moment that took even her by surprise. “I’m from the Midwest,” she said. “I come from a very conservative background, so it’s not very diverse ... [and] the fact that I can love this guy so much, and it doesn’t change anything for me, makes me realize that I’ve grown huge as a person.” To be honest — and a little depressing — the speed and ferocity of these responses were almost as surprising to me as the outing itself. Everyone immediately seemed to recognize that Varner had screwed up; everyone immediately jumped to Zeke’s defense. In fact, when it was time to vote, Probst didn’t even bother going through with the ceremony of it all. He just called up Varner to snuff out his torch, and that was that. For Varner, and for millions of viewers, the message was clear: Survivor might be a cutthroat game, but he had still managed to cross an unacceptable line. Zeke, for his part, was as composed as his teammates were incensed. He explained that he’d chosen not to divulge this part of his life because “when people know that about you ... it sort of overwhelms everything else that they know about you.” But he steeled his jaw and continued, saying he knew there was always a risk that something like this might happen and that he’s prepared to handle whatever comes next. “It’s kind of crappy the way it’s happened,” he said, “but if ‘metamorphosis’ is the word of the episode ... I am a changed, stronger, better man today.” No one can argue with that statement. Zeke has impressed everyone from his teammates to viewers to Probst with his daring and generosity. That he managed to respond to such offhand cruelty with firm resolve and even grace speaks to the extraordinary strength of character his teammates leaped to defend. This one moment won’t — and shouldn’t — define him. Survivor: Game Changers airs Wednesdays at 8 pm on CBS.

Princess Eugenie’s engagement announcement caused a right royal stir on Monday — and so did her unusual ring. The pink padparadsha sapphire, surrounded by diamonds, is similar in style to the ruby engagement ring her dad, Prince Andrew, gave to Sarah Ferguson when he proposed in 1986. Eugenie, 27, announced she would wed James Brooksbank this autumn in the Windsor venue that will see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot in May. But that doesn’t mean she’ll be overshadowed by the wedding of the year — and the price of her sparkler proves it. The gem expert from British TV show “Posh Pawn” has estimated the value of Eugenie’s ring at $140,000 — double the estimated value of Markle’s. The three-diamond ring that Prince Harry’s fiancee wears is estimated to be worth around $70,000. Gemologist Deborah Papas, from Prestige Pawnbrokers, told the Sun Online: “Like her mother, the Duchess of York and indeed Princess Diana, Eugenie’s ring has a center oval precious gemstone and this one certainly has not disappointed. “It is a padparadscha sapphire surrounded by 10 brilliant cut diamonds and two pear cut diamonds to give an edge to the standard classic cluster. “Padparadscha is the name given to the corundum gem that bears a mixture of red and yellow, a sort of cross between a ruby and yellow sapphire. “This beautiful gem is considered amongst the rarest and most valuable of all the corundum varieties. “With its carefully faceted cut and the set off with the whitest of white diamonds, this ring could easily be worth over £100,000 [$140,000]. “Padparadscha sapphires are amongst the rarest and most valuable depending on quality and a little bit of difference in quality can mean a big difference in price.” Papas admits that estimating such a valuable gem is difficult without full access but adds: “We estimate it to be in excess of £100,000 [$140,000].” The princess has dated the 31-year-old party organizer for six years, and her parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, said they were delighted with the news. Royal insider Dickie Arbiter revealed that the princess’s marriage to the 31-year-old would be even more star-studded than Markle’s — and the role that Sarah Ferguson would play at the nuptials.

Risky Business is a 1983 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Paul Brickman, making his directorial debut. It stars Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay. The film launched Cruise to stardom.[2] It covers themes including materialism, loss of innocence, coming of age and capitalism. Plot [ edit ] Joel Goodson is a high-achieving high school student who lives with his wealthy parents in the North Shore area of Chicago. His father wants him to attend Princeton University, his alma mater, so Joel participates in Future Enterprisers, an extracurricular activity in which students work in teams to create small businesses. When his parents go away on a trip, Joel's friend, Miles, convinces him to take advantage of his newfound freedom to have some fun. On the first night, he raids the liquor cabinet, plays the stereo loudly, and dances around the living room in his underwear and pink dress shirt to "Old Time Rock and Roll". The following day, Miles calls a call girl named Jackie on Joel's behalf. Jackie turns out to be a tall, masculine transvestite. Joel pays Jackie to go away, but before she leaves, she gives Joel the number for Lana, another prostitute. That night, Joel is unable to sleep and hesitantly calls Lana. She turns out to be a gorgeous blonde and they have sex all night. Lana asks Joel for $300 for her services. He goes to the bank, but when he returns, Lana is gone, along with his mother's expensive Steuben glass egg. Joel finds Lana and demands the egg back, but they are interrupted by Lana's pimp Guido, who pulls a gun. While in his father's Porsche 928, Joel is chased by Guido, but eventually escapes. Lana tells Joel that the egg is with the rest of her stuff at Guido's. Joel lets Lana stay at his house while he goes to school. When he returns, his friends are over, and Lana has invited another prostitute Vicki to stay, but Joel rejects the idea. That night, Joel, Lana, Vicki, and Joel's friend Barry go out. They get stoned, and while Vicky and Barry wander away, Joel and Lana talk. Lana takes exception to something Joel says and leaves. While retrieving her purse from Joel's car, she moves the shifter out of gear. Moments later, the car rolls down the hill and onto a pier, despite Joel's futile attempt to stop it. The pier collapses, dumping the Porsche into Lake Michigan. When Joel takes the car to a repair shop, he is horrified to learn how much it will cost to fix it. He and Lana later decide to turn his parents' house into a brothel for a night; Joel's share of the profits will pay for the car repairs. The party is a huge success; the house is packed with Joel's friends and classmates and Lana's co-workers. However, the recruiter from Princeton, Rutherford chooses that night to interview Joel for admission to Princeton. The interview is plagued by interruptions, and Rutherford is unimpressed by Joel's resume. Afterwards, he stays at the party and becomes acquainted with Lana's friends. After the party, Joel and Lana go and have sex on the Chicago "L". The next morning, Joel finds his house has been burgled. When he tries to call Lana, Guido answers; he tells Joel that he will let Joel buy back his furniture. Joel and his friends manage to get everything moved back in just as his parents walk in, though his mother notices a crack in her egg. Later, Joel's father congratulates him; the interviewer was very impressed and has indicated Joel will be accepted into Princeton. Joel meets Lana at a restaurant, and they speculate about their future. She tells him that she wants to keep on seeing him; he jokes that it will cost her. Alternate ending [ edit ] The remastered 25th-anniversary edition offers "both the upbeat studio ending and Mr. Brickman's original, more tentative and melancholic conclusion".[3] Cast [ edit ] Soundtrack [ edit ] The film was scored by Tangerine Dream. Their music comprises nearly half of the soundtrack album. Also included are songs by Muddy Waters, Prince ("DMSR"), Jeff Beck, Journey, Phil Collins ("In the Air Tonight"), and the song for which the film is best known, "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger. The soundtrack album was released on Virgin Records, Tangerine Dream's record company at the time of the film's release. The film also includes "Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen, "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, and "Swamp" by Talking Heads (which includes the words "risky business" in the lyrics). The LP and CD versions of the soundtrack include two different versions of "Love on a Real Train (Risky Business)," neither of which match the version used in the film for the final love scene or closing credits. Reception [ edit ] Risky Business was acclaimed by critics. It is also considered by many as one of the best films of 1983.[4][5][6][7] Janet Maslin, in her 1983 review of the film for The New York Times, called it "part satire, part would-be suburban poetry and part shameless showing off" and said the film "shows an abundance of style", though "you would be hard pressed to find a film whose hero's problems are of less concern to the world at large."[8] She called De Mornay "disarming as a call girl who looks more like a college girl" and credits Cruise with making "Joel's transformation from straight arrow to entrepreneur about as credible as it can be made."[9] Roger Ebert was much more positive, calling it a film of "new faces and inspired insights and genuine laughs" and "one of the smartest, funniest, most perceptive satires in a long time" that "not only invites comparison with The Graduate, it earns it".[10] Ebert continued:[10] The very best thing about the movie is its dialogue. Paul Brickman, who wrote and directed, has an ear so good that he knows what to leave out. This is one of those movies where a few words or a single line says everything that needs to be said, implies everything that needs to be implied, and gets a laugh. When the hooker tells the kid, "Oh, Joel, go to school, go learn something," the precise inflection of those words defines their relationship for the next three scenes. Variety said the film was like a "promising first novel, with all the pros and cons that come with that territory" and complimented Brickman on "the stylishness and talent of his direction."[11] The film holds a 96% "Certified Fresh" rating on the review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes.[12] Legacy [ edit ] In 2006, the film was #40 on Entertainment Weekly's list of the 50 Best High School Movies. The magazine called the film a "sharp satire of privileged suburban teens", portraying the "soul-crushing pressure to be perfect."[2][13] In the years since the film's release, the scene featuring Cruise's character dancing in his pink dress shirt and white briefs to "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger has been recreated in episodes of many television series, as well as in films, parodies, and advertisements. The song was #100 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs list.

Ramona Singer is going to miss Carole Radziwill. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Wednesday night, Singer, 61, addressed the news that Radziwill, 54, is leaving the Real Housewives of New York City. Get push notifications with news, features and more. “I don’t want to cry and ruin my makeup!” she said. “I’m sad because you know what, I love Carole. I think she’s really warm, special, down to earth, truthful, giving, kind, supportive of women, genuine, smart, fabulous.” “I’m going to miss not being with her doing the next season,” she added. “It’s going to be a void. It’s going to be a void for me.” Ramona Singer (left) and Carole Radziwill Charles Sykes/Bravo/Getty (2) Asked who she thinks should replace Radziwill, Singer said network executives at Bravo are “pretty perceptive.” “They bring somebody on that some of the girls know,” she said. “I know I brought some girls to Bravo’s attention. My faith is in Bravo, so I’m sure whoever they pick will be great.” Radziwill, an award-winning journalist and best-selling author who had been a Housewife since season 5, announced her departure from the show on Wednesday exclusively to PEOPLE. “After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONY, I have decided to return to what I do best — journalism and producing,” she said in a statement. “I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind. My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament.” “I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind,” she concluded. “I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy. Next.” RELATED VIDEO: The Real Housewives of New York City Go Makeup-Free For PEOPLE’s Beautiful Issue In RHONY‘s tenth season, airing now, Radziwill has had a pretty epic fallout with Bethenny Frankel, though she’s remained on good terms with Singer, Tinsley Mortimer, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan and Luann de Lesseps.

If a picture speaks a thousand words, then the Instagram accounts of Jennifer Lopez and boyfriend Alex Rodriguez could tell one epic story. Within hours of each other on Jan. 24, the former Yankee slugger posted a photo of a cryptic quote: “There’s nothing wrong with making a mistake, what’s wrong is not making the effort to make it right,” and the Shades of Blue star shared a photo of a gigantic bouquet of flowers Alex had sent her. The next day, she uploaded a selfie and captioned the photo, “It’s all in God’s hands always,” along with the hashtag #letgoandletgod. According to an insider, “That was aimed directly at Alex.” Hollywood’s hottest duo is on the verge of flaming out. Jennifer, 48, is privately questioning her relationship with her boyfriend of nearly a year after learning he’s still in touch with former fling Lauren Hunter, a fitness model, who last year claimed in an interview that Alex, 42, had been sexting her for months — including while he was dating J.Lo. Recently, “someone went to Jennifer with new details that Alex was still texting with Lauren, and that’s what made Jennifer lose it,” the insider tells In Touch. “Of course, he said it wasn’t physical, and maybe it wasn’t, but in Jennifer’s book, that’s still cheating. They were head-over-heels in love and planning to get engaged. Now Alex’s actions have jeopardized everything.” The damage runs deep. Jennifer, who’s endured three failed marriages, “was heartbroken to hear that Alex was talking to Lauren,” says the insider. “Even though they didn’t meet in person, Jennifer considered it a betrayal. Now she has friends and family watching out for her best interests, which means checking in and asking about Alex’s antics.” She has good reason to worry. Last June, a month after Jennifer and Alex made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala in NYC, Lauren claimed in a bombshell interview that she was in frequent contact with the ex-athlete, whom she met at an Equinox gym in 2011. “A week before his relationship with Jennifer was announced, he was asking me to go to Miami,” she claimed. “He never even mentioned her.” Lauren also alleged that Alex (who has kids Natasha, 13, and Ella, 9, with ex-wife Cynthia Scurtis) cheated on then-girlfriend Cameron Diaz with her in 2011. Jennifer “would be an idiot to believe he’d be faithful,” she said. She also called Jennifer too vanilla for him. “I don’t think he’s sexually attracted to her,” she dished. “In bed... he's probably picturing me." Jennifer, mom to nine-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex Marc Anthony, turned a blind eye to the initial interview. Now, she’s not sure what to believe. “Jennifer’s still on the fence,” says the insider. “She can either cut her losses and walk away from the relationship, or she can fight for it. I think she’ll fight for it.” More from In Touch Alex Rodriguez Encourages New Girlfriend Jennifer Lopez to “Sex up” Her Wardrobe (EXCLUSIVE) Jennifer Lopez Hints That She Has Made a Sex Tape — Watch the Scandalous Clip!

Caitlyn Jenner — the reality TV star and prominent transgender activist — will publish a memoir about her highly public transformation from the Olympic track star and motivational speaker Bruce Jenner into a glamorous transgender woman, Caitlyn Marie Jenner. Ms. Jenner will write the memoir with Buzz Bissinger, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of “Friday Night Lights,” the 1990 nonfiction book about a Texas high school football team that inspired a film and television series. Grand Central Publishing is tentatively scheduled to release the Jenner book in the spring of 2017. Rumors have swirled about a possible book deal for Ms. Jenner since last April, when she announced that she was becoming a woman during an interview with Diane Sawyer that drew nearly 17 million viewers. The interview was followed by a Vanity Fair cover story, written by Mr. Bissinger, in which Ms. Jenner revealed her new identity as Caitlyn, and described her decades-long struggle with gender dysphoria. The flurry of publicity culminated in the premiere of a documentary series on E!, “I Am Cait,” which will begin its second season this March, about Ms. Jenner’s new public life as a woman.

Caitlyn Jenner made a recent appearance on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, and was asked about gender reassignment surgery. If you didn’t know, Caitlyn wrote in her autobiography, “The Secrets Of My Life,” that she had undergone “the final surgery,” but would not elaborate further. On the show, Caitlyn told Piers that she did not want to tell the Kardashians about her surgery. “I didn’t tell anybody [about the surgery]. It’s none of their businesses. I had already been living as Caitlyn for a year and a half, OK? I didn’t want them to leak it to the press, OK? There was no reason for them to know about it, of course I didn’t trust them,” Caitlyn said. She added about her current relationship with the Kardashians, “I don’t talk to the Kardashians anymore. The only ones I am concerned about are Kendall and Kylie. They are my biological kids. I spent 23 years carting them around.”

Nicole Kidman is fearless! The 51-year-old Big Little Lies star was her family’s hero on Sunday when she captured a giant black tarantula, who was seemingly making himself at home by the star’s swimming pool. In the clip posted to Instagram, Kidman’s daughters Faith Margaret, 7, and Sunday Rose, 10, can be heard screaming in horror as she approached the eight-legged creature with no apprehension. “Get back, mom! Step back!” one of the girls shouts. The other then yells, “It’s a tarantula, right mom?” Showing her laidback Australian attitude towards creepy crawlies, Kidman then turns the camera to face her, showing fans she has the spider trapped inside a glass. “I’m having to take care of this spider, help,” Kidman says at the end of the video. Despite getting caught, the spider was very lucky as the star opted to release it rather than kill it. “House guest! Catch and release… spider released unharmed and healthy ❤️Happy Sunday,” Kidman captioned the image. Nicole Kidman Steve Granitz/WireImage Interestingly, there’s a reason Kidman is so comfortable around bugs — she eats them. Back in January, Kidman ate a four-course meal of bugs with chopsticks on Vanity Fair’s “Secret Talent Theatre.” RELATED ARTICLE: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Reminisce on 12th Wedding Anniversary: ‘Feels Like It Was Yesterday’ After eating her first course of hornworms, Kidman says “Two billion people in the world eat bugs and I’m one of them.” She then went on to eat mealworms, crickets, and grasshoppers for her last course.

If you’ve ever had to move, then you know it can be a hassle. Teen Mom OG star Farrah Abraham has been going through that hassle at the moment. The 25-year-old reality star is looking to make the move from Austin to San Diego in Teen Mom OG’s upcoming episode and there is a lot of stress involved. Mainly because she decided to turn to her on-and-off-again boyfriend, Simon Saran, for help. After checking out a home that's on the market for a cool $1.7 million, Farrah and Simon, who is a real estate agent, quickly get into a heated argument in the car after issues arise over her pet horse, Starburst. When Simon keeps talking about Farrah's expectations of San Diego and moving in general, telling her she needs to "watch and learn, my friends," Farrah quickly shuts him down. "You need to shut your mouth and learn that," she says. Simon tries to make it better by offering some advice but that doesn’t go in his favor. Watch blowout in the clip below: This isn't the first tense moment the couple has shared this season as Farrah and Simon got into an argument over dinner at a recent episode after she brought up the infamous engagement ring fiasco. That’s the drama that occurred when Farrah bought her own 14-carat diamond ring, hoping Simon would propose.

Update: Sgt. Johnson's mother, Cowanda Jones-Johnson, has now spoken with The Washington Post, and she says Wilson's account is accurate. "President Trump did disrespect my son and my daughter and also me and my husband," Jones-Johnson said. She said she was in the car at the time but declined to elaborate on the specifics of Wilson's claim. A Democratic congresswoman says she was in the car with the widow of a soldier killed in Niger when President Trump made comments that upset the widow. Rep. Frederica S. Wilson (Fla.) says Trump told Myeshia Johnson that her husband, Sgt. La David T. Johnson, “knew what he signed up for.” Appearing on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Wednesday, Wilson added that the widow was in tears after the call and lamented that Trump “didn't even remember his name.” And Trump has now hit back at the congresswoman, saying he has “proof” that her account is wrong. Democrat Congresswoman totally fabricated what I said to the wife of a soldier who died in action (and I have proof). Sad! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 18, 2017 Here's what we can say: After-the-fact accounts can be flawed, and people can hear things in the worst possible way when they come from the mouths of their political opponents. Wilson may be totally honest in what she says, but if she believes Trump is a bad person, her recollection will not be charitable. If Trump has proof that Wilson is wrong, he needs to produce it immediately. The idea that Trump said this is — unfortunately — completely believable, given his track record of handling sensitive situations has ranged from awkward to offensive. This is hardly the first time we've seen Trump wrapped up in a dispute involving a Gold Star family. In fact, it's the second day in a row in which Trump's comments about the relatives of dead service members have been at issue. On Monday, he suggested that his chief of staff, retired Marine general John Kelly, had not received a phone call from President Barack Obama after his son's death. White House officials have only elaborated on the matter anonymously. Going back to the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump showed very little compunction about attacking the Khans, a Gold Star family that criticized him, and publicly questioned the war hero status of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who was a prisoner of war for seven years in Vietnam. While most politicians treat these matters very, very delicately — or steer clear of them altogether — Trump has repeatedly declined to do so. He has often proactively politicized them. And whatever you think about Trump, displaying empathy is not his strong suit. The way he talks about tragedy is routinely awkward, at best, and tasteless, at worst. Puerto Rico is dealing with the fallout of a devastating hurricane, and Trump talks about how it will pay for the relief effort, suggests the island is at fault for its poor situation, and attacks San Juan's mayor. He turned a death during a white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville from a tragedy into a political football when he blamed “both sides.” While in Florida for the Hurricane Irma relief effort, he seemed to be more reserved, but then he asked a man to attack Obama on camera. When Navy sailors were missing after a tanker collided with a destroyer near Singapore, Trump responded, “That’s too bad, too bad.” There are plenty more examples. There is a tendency to think that some of this is just Trump being provocative and trying to rile up the media by pushing the boundaries of acceptable and presidential behavior. The simpler — and not mutually exclusive — alternative is that he just doesn't know how a president should act in these instances. In this case, we have alleged Trump comments that were never meant for public consumption. If accurately relayed, they were just Trump being careless, not provocative. But they completely track with everything he has done and said publicly about tragedy before. It's not even difficult to imagine Trump saying these things at a lectern in the Rose Garden. So again, it's worth waiting to see what “proof” Trump produces. But the benefit of the doubt went out the window a long time ago, and Trump has himself to blame.

I looked back and she was telling my principal something and they looked at me. Searching for something to do I looked at my teacher and mouthed "May I use the restroom?" She said sure and I scurried out of the gym.

President Donald Trump is causing an uproar again this morning after a bizarre interview where he praised President Andrew Jackson and questioned the reason behind the Civil War. His remarks were from a radio conversation with Sirius XM's Salena Zito on Monday morning. "I mean had Andrew Jackson been a little later you wouldn't have had the Civil War. He was a really tough person, but he had a big heart," Trump said, despite the fact that Jackson was behind Native American removal, the Trail of Tears and owned about 150 slaves. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below "He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War, he said, 'There's no reason for this,'" Trump added. Jackson died in 1845. The Civil War began in 1861. "People don't realize, you know, the Civil War, if you think about it, why?," he added, seeming to forget the basic curriculum of an American history class. "People don't ask that question, but why was there a Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?" Hint: slavery. Another hint: "states' rights."

Netflix will premiere “13 Reasons Why” Season 2, the next chapter in its controversial hit teen-suicide drama, on May 18. The streamer announced the premiere date on social media, with the caption, “The tapes were just the beginning.” That came after it teased the reveal in posts earlier Monday saying “The truth is developing” and a live-stream showing two Polaroid photos — leaving fans on tenterhooks for several hours. Netflix announced the renewal of “13 Reasons” last May, after the freshman season debuted in March 2017 and quickly captured widespread buzz. The first season of the series, based on Jay Asher’s young-adult book by the same name, centers around the death a high-school girl, Hannah, played by Katherine Langford, who has left behind a series of 13 cassette tapes for her friend and crush Clay (Dylan Minnette) explaining what led her to suicide. The show also stars Christian Navarro, Alisha Boe, Brandon Flynn, Justin Prentice, Miles Heizer, Brian d’Arcy James, and Kate Walsh. Season 2 picks up in the aftermath of Hannah’s death, as the other characters start their journeys toward healing and recovery. In the upcoming season, Hannah’s parents file a lawsuit against Liberty High School. But, according to Netflix, “A series of ominous Polaroids lead Clay and his classmates to uncover a sickening secret and a conspiracy to cover it up.” “13 Reasons Why” season 2 is being produced for Netflix by Paramount Television. The show is also executive produced by Selena Gomez, along with Mandy Teefey, Kristel Laiblin, Joy Gorman Wettels, Michael Sugar and Steve Golin. Related Top TV Salaries Revealed Why Sandra Bullock's Children Liked Her Better While She Was Shooting 'Bird Box' The first season of the show stimulated discussions about teen suicide — and controversy. After its release Netflix added more viewer warnings to “13 Reasons Why,” which is rated TV-MA, and included links to suicide-prevention resources in the documentary the accompanies the series. It ranked as the fourth most-tweeted-about TV show of 2017 (after “Game of Thrones,” “Stranger Things” and “Big Brother”). Netflix said season 2 of “13 Reasons Why” will carry a new warning video in front of each episode telling viewers about how to get help and pointing them to resources on the website 13reasonswhy.info. It also plans an after-show, “Beyond the Reasons,” with the show’s actors, experts, and educators breaking down the series. The season 2 announcement trailer features Depeche Mode’s 1993 single “I Feel You”:

In her own words, Barbra Streisand is explaining the decision to clone her beloved curly-haired Coton du Tulear dog Samantha, who died in 2017. “I was so devastated by the loss of my dear Samantha, after 14 years together, that I just wanted to keep her with me in some way,” the music icon, 75, detailed in an op-ed for the New York Times, published on Friday. Get push notifications with news, features and more. “It was easier to let Sammie go if I knew I could keep some part of her alive, something that came from her DNA,” Streisand recalled. “One of the reasons I chose cloning was because I couldn’t find another curly-haired Coton.” Before the dog crossed the rainbow bridge, the proud pet owner had cells taken from Sammie’s mouth and stomach. “We sent those cells to ViaGen Pets in Texas. We weren’t even sure if the cells would take,” Streisand explained, adding, “A friend had cloned his beloved dog, and I was very impressed with that dog.” RELATED: Barbra Streisand Cloned Her Dog: Here’s the History of Pet Cloning and How Much It Costs Barbra Streisand and her dog Sammie KMazur/WireImage While anxiously waiting for the test results to determine whether cloning was possible, Streisand adopted not one, but two dogs in the absence of Sammie. The first was a rescue: Maltipoo dog Sadie, who is lovingly named after her first dog which was gifted to her by the cast of Funny Girl when she turned 22. And the second was a straight-haired Coton de Tulear named Miss Fanny, whom Streisand got from Sammie’s breeder after it was revealed that Miss Fanny’s mother is named Funny Girl. RELATED: PETA Is Trying to Convince Barbra Streisand and Other Celebs to Stop Cloning Their Pets After welcoming two four-legged members into her family, Streisand was surprised with the call she had been anticipating. “Not only did the cloning process take, but it produced four puppies!

Describing herself as a “person who was used to taking my dog everywhere with me, and who never had more than one dog at a time living in my house,” Streisand said she chose to give away Sadie to her manager’s assistant and one of the puppies to the teenage daughter of her A&R rep.

But we love them so much. Each puppy is unique and has her own personality,” Streisand said, though she added: You can clone the look of a dog, but you can’t clone the soul. Still, every time I look at their faces, I think of my Samantha…and smile.”

A black cowboy had kept Fergie protected from the sun on the hot Californian day, as she hit the pavement in silver studded ankle boots. The songstress also made the bold move of tapping into the age old trend - which is now returning - of storing one's essentials in a fanny pack around the waist. Hers was made by Chanel, leaving little room to doubt the fashionability of the item. Summer style: The star wore a black cowboy hat for sun protection and denim cut-off shorts Bringing it back into fashion? Fergie even wore a black Chanel fanny pack to carry her goodies The star's husband Josh Duhamel - to whom she has been married since 2009 - was not spotted with the pair on this outing, but the stud would surely have approved of his wife's hot outfit. Fergie recently revealed that she likes to dress up for dates with Josh. She told People: 'He loves me natural all the time, but now because I do natural a lot, he loves when I do a bright red lip. He thinks that’s sexy. I’ve noticed that he really likes that.'

The 36-year-old princess and her lover Dodi Fayed , 42, were killed along with chauffeur Henri Paul when their Mercedes crashed in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris on August 31 1997. They were being pursued by paparazzi photographers after leaving the Ritz Hotel for Mr Fayed's apartment. In 2008, after hearing evidence over six months, an inquest jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing, saying driver Paul and the paparazzi shared the blame for the deaths. (Image: PA) Speaking in the BBC documentary Diana, 7 Days, Harry said: "One of the hardest things to come to terms with is the people who chased her into the tunnel were the same people who were taking photographs of her while she was still dying on the back seat of the car. "And William and I know that, we've been told that numerous times by people that know that was the case. "She'd had quite a severe head injury but she was very much alive on the back seat. (Image: Reuters) (Image: Reuters) "And those people that caused the accident instead of helping were taking photographs of her dying on the back seat. "And then those photographs made their way back to newsdesks in this country." (Image: PA) No UK title ever published the sickening pictures. Prince William added that a "pack" would hound and chase his mother, spitting at the royal and calling her names to get a reaction. William told the documentary, which will be screened on Sunday, that people today would find the treatment of his mother "utterly appalling". (Image: BBC) (Image: Getty) He added: "We'd go looking for her to talk to, play, to do whatever, she'd be crying. And when that was the case it was to do with press. "She'd had a confrontation with photographers on the way to the gym, on the way outside, just trying to do day to day stuff. "The damage for me was being a little boy aged eight, nine, 10, whatever it was, wanting to protect your mother and finding it very difficult seeing her very upset. (Image: Flynet Pictures) "About every single time she went out there'd be a pack of people waiting for her. "And I mean a pack, like a pack of dogs, followed her, chased her, harassed her, called her names, spat at her, tried to get a reaction to get that photograph of her lashing out, get her upset." His brother said on one occasion she stopped the car on the way to the gym with the royal brothers on the back seat and confronted those pursuing her before returning crying.

She's the one who got away! It's hard to believe that it's only been one year since Kylie Jenner and Tyga split — especially because so much has changed for Kylie since then. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star is now a mom to an adorable little girl named Stormi Webster — whom she shares with her new boyfriend, rapper Travis Scott — and even though she's already moved on and had a whole baby with another man, sources exclusively revealed to In Touch that Tyga isn't really over Kylie. "Even though they’re not together, Tyga misses Kylie. For real," the insider told In Touch. "He misses her sexiness. Her body. The lavish life, connections, money and exposure she gave him. He misses all of that and kicks himself every day for letting their relationship die." Kylie and Tyga dated for about three years — which is an eternity in celeb time — but they broke up in 2017 shortly after Valentine's Day. Fans were shocked to learn that Kylie had moved on so quickly from Tyga when she started dating Travis in April 2017 — and it was even more shocking that she got pregnant less than two months into their relationship. Sources revealed that Kylie's pregnancy was especially hard for Tyga to accept, because he eventually hoped to start a family with the lip kit mogul — and even though Kylie seems to be happy and in love with Travis and their little family, Tyga is still holding on to hope that there might still be a chance for him to get back togegther with her. "What’s worse: she’s got a baby with Travis. That gnaws at him," the insider continued. "He wanted to be the one who gave Kylie a baby. He wanted that so much but she was opposed. Tyga’s pissed about that. But even still, he forgives her because he loves her. And he knows he could still have a baby with her later down the line if they were ever to rekindle the passion they once had."

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump has weighed in on the Emmys, which were heavy on humor and swipes at his expense. “I was saddened to see how bad the ratings were on the Emmys last night – the worst ever. Smartest people of them all are the ‘DEPLORABLES,'” he wrote on on Tuesday night, two days after Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards telecast. The President is in New York, staying at Trump Tower, during the United Nations General Assembly. I was saddened to see how bad the ratings were on the Emmys last night – the worst ever. Smartest people of them all are the "DEPLORABLES." — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 20, 2017 The Emmys, broadcast by CBS, were about on par with last year’s ceremony in terms of total viewers. Sunday’s awards ceremony averaged 11.4 million viewers, compared to 2016’s 11.3 million, its lowest ever. The telecast also averaged a 2.5 rating in adults 18-49, dropping below last year’s low point of a 2.8. Host Stephen Colbert spent part of his monologue skewering Trump’s own fixation with the Emmys, including his past tweets that disparaged the awards handed out by the Television Academy after he failed to win any Emmy trophies for “The Apprentice.” In a tweet from 2013, Trump cited political bias for his lack of Emmy wins. According to many, and while nominated, I would have won the Emmy many times except for my politics. @PrimetimeEmmys — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 14, 2013 Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the president, criticized the “politicized” show for the “sameness” of the attacks on Trump. Related Rachel Brosnahan on Emmy Win and 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Season 2 Trump Names Patrick Shanahan Acting Secretary of Defense, Moves Up Mattis' Departure “It looks like Americans are tuning out,” she said on “Fox & Friends.” Then she addressed stars who appeared on the stage. “They want you to stick to your knitting. They want you to stick to the stuff that other people write for you.” She did, however, praise Sean Spicer for his Emmy cameo, in which he made fun of his own post-inauguration press conference in which he chided the media never its reporting on Trump’s inaugural crowd size. Spicer’s appearance has drawn a backlash from Trump detractors who criticized Colbert and Emmy producers for milking laughs out of a political operative who had been a champion of Trump’s polarizing agenda. “This is something that folks in Hollywood often lack — which is introspection and good humor,” Conway said of Spicer. Trump spoke at the UN earlier on Tuesday in a speech in which he said that the U.S. would “totally destroy” North Korea if the U.S. is “forced to defend itself or its allies.”

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have confirmed that reality star Khloe Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl early Thursday. The baby's father, Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson, was present at Hillcrest Hospital during the birth, though it's not confirmed if he was allowed in the room.

TMZ also says Kardashian's mother, Kris Jenner, sisters, Kim and Kourtney, and best friend Malika Haqq, were present. Jenner reportedly flew to Cleveland Wednesday morning and other family members were expected to arrive Thursday. Thompson did not attend the Cavaliers practice Thursday afternoon. No Tristan Thompson at Cavs practice today #3Cavs — Ben Axelrod (@BenAxelrod) April 12, 2018 Kardashian previously said she planned to give birth in Cleveland. She and Thompson began dating in September 2016, shortly before Thompson's former girlfriend, Jordan Craig, gave birth to his son. Déjà vu surfaced Tuesday, when video of Thompson appearing to cheat on Kardashian surfaced on TMZ. One video allegedly took place earlier this week, when the Cavaliers were in New York City to play the Knicks Monday night. Thompson can be seen taking an Instagram model back to his hotel.

Just hours ago, People Magazine published a statement from a Kardashian family friend which said in part: The first reaction was that this was a set-up: that the girl in the club totally threw herself at him, made sure it was caught on tape, tipped off {photographers) to catch her going into the hotel, and then basically made sure they caught her leaving. People also reports Khloe plans to fly herself and her and Thompson's daughter back to Los Angeles as soon as possible, after previously planning to stay in Cleveland. Earlier this week, the Los Angeles OB/GYN who assisted Kylie Jenner's pregnancy and labor posted a photo while visiting a hospital, sparking speculation that Kardashian was preparing to give birth soon. The doctor, identified as Dr. Thais Aliabadi, posted a photo of herself Saturday night. She blurred out the hospital's name but noted she was traveling for work.

LOS ANGELES—(Spoiler alert: This column has spoilers about the movie, “Interstellar.”) Why was Matt Damon’s casting in “Interstellar” kept under wraps until recently? This question and more were answered by spouses Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas, director and producer, respectively, of the sci-fi/adventure/drama. “Interstellar,” written by Chris and his brother Jonah, follows a team of explorers as they travel beyond the galaxy to find another home for humankind since Earth is nearing its end. While “Interstellar” features some stunning visual images of the voyage, the film succeeds more when it delves into relationships through a family, that of Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), an experienced pilot, and his two children, Murph (Mackenzie Foy) and Tom (Timothee Chalamet). ADVERTISEMENT Jessica Chastain and Ellen Burstyn portray Murph at various ages while Casey Affleck plays the older Tom. Anne Hathaway, Wes Bentley, Michael Caine, John Lithgow and Topher Grace round out the cast. Excerpts from our interview: Why did you keep Matt Damon’s casting a secret? Chris Nolan (C): I imagined Doctor Mann a bit like from Joseph Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness.” You have Kurtz, this character that you hear about. Everybody says, “Oh, he’s great. Maybe you’ll get to meet him.” I really love the idea for an audience to go, when they see him, “Oh, it’s Matt Damon. It’s going to be okay.” Matt very graciously agreed to do it. He didn’t have to shoot for long. So we didn’t want to market the film using him because he’s not in it very much. We didn’t want to mislead people. But Matt is a very important part of the movie. It’s fun to watch with an audience who doesn’t know because they haven’t heard about it. Matt has the most amazing ability to project integrity and warmth. So he turns up in the film and he’s got a plan and it’s all going to be okay. For me, to realize that he’s a frail human being and subject to cowardice and all the terrible weaknesses that we all have… he loved that challenge. I loved what he did with it. Emma Thomas (E): If people get to watch the film twice, it’s so great watching Matt when you know what’s really going on. C: When people see Matt’s face, they are like, oh, okay. It’s the lift that the movie needs at that point. Structurally, you have a lot of talk in the 20 minutes before. There’s a lot of negativity, a lot bad things happening. The film is very much going to a dark place at that point. So getting that lift in that way with a great actor and movie star coming on screen, is a good thing. ADVERTISEMENT How has the dynamics between the two of you evolved over the years? E: (Laughs.) We love working together— obviously, with Jonah as well—in a large part because, when you are working with somebody whom you are tied to beyond by blood or marriage, there’s a lack of agenda. Or as Chris once said, I (Emma) have an agenda. He knows what it is. (Laughs.) But there’s a level of trust that is fantastic, particularly when you are making a big movie like this one. I am often asked as a producer and when Chris is the director, “When do you tell Chris, no, he can’t have that?” The truth is, I am very lucky because Chris is also a producer. He takes every aspect of the filmmaking process very seriously. He is very helpful in terms of trying to figure out how we make the film for the correct budget, and so on. To me, it’s never absolutely saying no. I tell Chris [how I feel about] certain things. We have discussions. But ultimately, it’s Chris’ vision. He always has a very strong idea of what a film is going to be. He’s the director and it’s very much his film. I see my job as being very much a facilitator for that, filtering out the things that he doesn’t have to worry about so he can concentrate on getting the film made. C: It’s fantastic working with people you have worked with a long time and have a high degree of trust in. Emma is always very objective, which is great… I consider Emma a very good gauge (from a moviegoer perspective) because she’s not particularly interested in science-fiction or science. (Laughs.) I show her the film and ask, “Are you following the emotional threads?” What’s wonderful about working with someone like Emma is that I get an honest opinion, good or bad, instantly. There are no politics to it. This film’s working title or code name was “Flora’s Letter,” a cinematic letter to your daughter. How is your relationship with your kids reflected in the story? C: The relationship between a father and his children was clearly something I related to very strongly in the script. Murph was originally written as a boy in my brother’s draft. I changed the character to a girl—just instinctively. It may well be because Flora, my eldest, is a girl. You do have different relationships with sons and daughters. It really paid off with Matthew because what he was very determined about was that his character’s love for his children should be equal for both. The character having a girl and a boy took the burden off the idea of favoritism. It’s not that he loves Murph more than he loves Tom. There’s just a different relationship. And Murph is more interested in science and the things that have driven her father’s life. E: Girls are much more complicated, I feel. And boys are rather… C: Simple. E: I wouldn’t say simple. C: That’s what you were thinking, though. E: It’s complicated. It’s one of my favorite things about the film. I almost don’t think of it as a big, spectacular space movie. I really love the relationships. They feel very real to me as the mother of a girl and boys. When I watch Mackenzie’s performance, she feels incredibly real to me. I [see] my own daughter in her. Going back to the code name question, I will just say that we have always had code names for our films—our kids’ names. It was just Flora’s turn (laughs). What are the kids’ ages? E: Now that’s a difficult question (laughs). They are 12, 11, 9 and 7. Flora is the oldest. Emma, you were quoted as saying that Chris could not have done this film 12 years ago when you didn’t have kids. Can you both talk about that? E: I am not saying that Chris couldn’t have made this film 12 years ago. But there’s such a heart, such a reality to the relationships in the movie. The reason we pick a movie to make—because it’s a long process—is that you have to feel an affinity for the story. You have to want to put that story up on the screen. The place that Chris and I are in now is very different from where we were 12 years ago. This is a story that we are interested in telling. It’s also a movie that is fun to watch with our kids. We watch different movies now than we did 12 years ago because the kids came along. C: The simple answer is, I don’t know if I couldn’t [have done this movie 12 years ago], but I wouldn’t have and I didn’t. Becoming a father was a very big change in my life, something that affected my outlook and the kind of stories that I am interested in telling and in ways that I would have never been able to predict and not in simple ways. We did a press conference yesterday and Matthew was asked about being a father. He said he could have played the part even before he had kids. What I didn’t say to him because I didn’t want to embarrass him—but I am going to embarrass him now—is that I would have found it very difficult to cast someone who wasn’t a father. Matthew was absolutely the right person to play the role. He’s a terrific father. Why did you choose a Dylan Thomas poem to use in the film? C: Those lines at the end—“Do not go gentle into that good night… Rage, rage against the dying of the light”—I have [not] heard a better way of expressing the sentiment of death, dying, the end of the world, any of those things. There’s such a raw emotion in those words; they speak to me so strongly. I didn’t want to write my own version of that. Another example, which I didn’t use, would be of TS Elliot saying, “This is the way the world ends/Not with a bang but a whimper.” (E-mail the columnist at rvnepales_5585@yahoo.com.

Jennifer Aniston's divorce from Justin Theroux is turning into a dog fight Celebrity couple Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are in the middle of a nasty divorce and the main culprit is their fluffy friends. The former couple are in a heated custody battle over their four dogs and there is no sign of any resolution. Daily Bla Published:

Gossip Cop today debunked a tabloid cover story claiming that Megyn Kelly is replacing Matt Lauer on NBC’s Today show. In Touch’s latest cover features a headline screaming “Shakeup At The ‘Today Show’: Matt Replaced By Megyn,” along with a dubious story alleging betrayal and backstabbing between the two television heavy-hitters. Yet the piece “appears to be wholly manufactured by the publication,” according to Mediaite‘s sister site Gossip Cop. What’s more, the tabloid offers up some fairly outrageous evidence to support its story, claiming Kelly showed up Lauer by nabbing a joint interview with President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. It’s fairly safe to assume Trump will not be joining Putin on a love seat for for a tell-all with Megyn Kelly anytime soon, as much as we would like to will that into existence. Lauer, Gossip Cop reports, will continue to be the face of Today and a key fixture at NBC News despite the arrival of Kelly, which is currently slated for June. From the report: The notion that Lauer has been “replaced,” says an extremely well-placed NBC News insider, is “totally false.” And as for the contention that there will be a joint Putin and Trump interview, and that it will be conducted by Kelly, our impeccable source calls it “laughable.” In Touch has published a number of demonstrably false stories touting a feud between Lauer and Kelly, including another cover story from February alleging Lauer was going to be “dumped” at the Today show in favor of the former Fox News star. Last September, when she was still at Fox, Kelly––who said she’s friends with Lauer and respects him a lot––defended him after he got criticism in the liberal media for not being tough enough on Donald Trump during that NBC News presidential forum.

The 2018 Grammys, the 60th installment of the music industry’s flagship awards show, were handed out on Sunday night. And the night belonged to Bruno Mars. Heading into the awards, Mars and Jay-Z led the nominations. But Mars ultimately swept the three biggest honors of the night, taking home Album of the Year and Record of the Year for 24k Magic and winning Song of the Year for “That’s What I Like.” Related 3 reasons why the 2018 Grammys fell so flat Mars won six Grammys overall. In the end, Jay-Z was completely shut out and went home empty handed. The Grammys handed out more than 80 golden gramophones in total, including in dozens of categories whose winners were announced shortly before the live telecast. Going into the ceremony, for example, Mars had already won three Grammys: Best R&B Album for 24K Magic and Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song for “That’s What I Like.” Another big winner from the preshow awards was Kendrick Lamar, who won five Grammys total: He was honored with Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video for “HUMBLE” during the preshow, and during the main ceremony, he won Best Rap/Sung Performance for “Loyalty” with Rihanna and Best Rap Album for DAMN. Related The 9 best performances of the 2018 Grammys Meanwhile, other notable — and controversial — wins from the live ceremony included Alessia Cara for Best New Artist (in an unfortunate snub of SZA) and Ed Sheeran for Best Pop Solo Performance, with his song “Shape of You” (Sheeran somehow beat Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga, Kesha, and Pink, and he wasn’t even present to accept the award).

Instead, she first broke ground in her early career as a member of the early '90s dance troupe, The Fly Girls, on the sketch comedy TV show, In Living Color. But, as a self-described "camera hog" influenced by the movie musicals of her childhood, it wasn't long before she was on the silver screen and in the studio. "I watched a lot of musicals because of my mom and that influenced me very much in the fact that a career in this business would have to be all three," she explained to James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio. She inched closer toward movie star with films like Money Train and Jack before landing the role of a lifetime as Selena Quintanilla in the eponymous 1997 film. By 27, she was a Golden Globe nominee. Not before long, the star was pulling triple duty as an actress, dancer and singer as her debut studio album, On the 6, charted in the Billboard 200 top 10 and was certified triple platinum in the United States in 1999. "I always thought I could do both and there was no switch [from acting to singing]," she told People. "For me I was going to continue doing movies while I made this album. It was always part of my plan."

BREAKING: Barack Obama just secretly fled the U.S. after Donald Trump found some disturbing criminal evidence he left behind in the Oval Office. This prompted Trump to send a massive warning to Obama and his deep state minions that they won’t soon forget!Mad World News reported that Obama just jetted off to New Zealand this week, and he immediately imposed a strict ban on the media covering the events he plans to hold there. It should come as no surprise that Obama chose to leave the country right now, however, as the heat was just turned up on his deep state after the firing of now former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.In the wake of this firing, it was confirmed that Obama left behind a trail of damning evidence inside the Oval Office. The evidence proves that it was actually the Obama administration that colluded with Russia to thwart then-candidate Donald Trump during the presidential election, and they didn’t cover their tracks well enough.The members of Obama’s deep state that took part in this plan included ormer FBI Director James Comey, former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, former UN Ambassador Samantha Powers, and Lisa Monaco, who was the head of the DOJ National Security Division. Monaco slipped up and left an evidence trail going from the illegal unmasking of US citizens being done, Trump and his campaign people, under the illegal FISA warrants, back to the Oval Office via the “Presidential Daily Briefings” (PDB).“During the 2015/2016 presidential election, Lisa Monaco was one of the key WH figures doing the unmasking of raw intelligence provided by the ‘small group’ collaborators (with Susan Rice, Ben Rhodes). Monaco was also one of the key policy strategists, heck, she was the architect, who utilized the compartmentalization of intelligence to hide the fingerprints of collaboration. This was the issue that initially stymied HSPCI Devin Nunes,” reported The Conservative Treehouse.Nunes eventually found Obama’s PDBs which have all the illegal FISA activity and other illegal spy games targeting Trump.“Nunes stated the intelligence product he reviewed was ‘not related to Russia, or the FBI Russian counter-intelligence investigation.’ So the product itself was likely a product for the President, that was not part of the ongoing FBI counter-intel product,” reported The Conservative Treehouse.These PDBs prove Obama was in on this from the very beginning, and he hasn’t stopped trying to take Trump down since then. Last month, Obama and his deep state set up a website called “National Security Action,” who says their mission is, “Under President Trump’s reckless leadership, the United States is weaker in the world, less safe, and more isolated. He is retreating from the world stage, undercutting the intelligence and law enforcement agencies that keep us safe, undermining the diplomacy that prevents wars, insulting our allies, attacking democratic traditions, and cozying up to dictators while abandoning America’s commitment to universal rights and human dignity.”These people are just trying to get Trump impeached so they can swoop in and take back the White House as soon as he is out of it. Unfortunately for them, however, McCabe’s firing makes it clear that they won’t get away with this act of treason.What do you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

Nicole Kidman attends the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards on January 8. (Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Nicole Kidman offered a message not often heard from the Hollywood elite: Americans need to support President-elect Donald Trump. She was speaking with Victoria Derbyshire of BBC Two, promoting the based-on-a-true-story film “Lion,” which she described as a “love letter … to mothers and children.” In it, she portrays an Australian woman who, with her husband, adopts a lost Indian boy named Saroo. During the interview, Derbyshire brought up Kidman’s dual Australian and American citizenship and noted the actress voted in the U.S. election. “I’m always reticent to start sort of commenting politically,” Kidman began. “I’ve never done it in terms of America, or Australia. I’m issue-based.” Then she continued, “I just say he’s now elected and we as a country need to support whoever’s the president because that’s what the country’s based on. However that happened, he’s there, and let’s go. ” After these remarks, she quickly discussed two topics — same-sex marriage and women’s health care and equality. She said the former should be legal in Australia. On the latter, she said, “I’m very, very committed to women’s issues in terms of I do a lot of fundraising for U.N. Women and I do a lot of traveling for them. I also do an enormous amount of fundraising for breast and ovarian cancer, because that’s something that’s affected my family deeply. So they’re my issues that I’m very attached to.” Kidman quickly came under fire on social media. “I think it’s time for Nicole Kidman to move to Russia,” tweeted one user. “Nicole Kidman married Tom Cruise who is a Scientologist. Her advice is the last thing America needs!” tweeted another. “Would you follow Hitler, just because he has a title?” asked one user. Nicole Kidman: Americans need to support Trump Americans: We just lost our healthcare! Nicole Kidman: Me? Tonight I’m wearing Dior. — Pretty Lil’ Pinko (@KelseyFGold) January 13, 2017 https://twitter.com/BumbleBUnicorn/status/819820861913964544 Her comments are a sharp departure from the rhetoric most celebrities have used since Trump’s surprise victory over Hillary Clinton. Most recently, Meryl Streep used her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes as a semi-political vehicle, espousing the virtues of a “principled press” and condemning the powerful who use bullying as a means of control. She never once mentioned Trump’s name while clearly speaking about him, bringing up “the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitat[ing] a disabled reporter.” “And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modeled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing,” Streep said. For her efforts, Trump employed his favorite insult, tweeting that Streep — winner of three Oscars and nominated for 19 — was “overrated” and was a “Hillary flunky who lost big.” [Meryl Streep called out Donald Trump at the Golden Globes. He responded by calling her ‘over-rated.’] Bruce Springsteen, who in reference to Trump had previously told Rolling Stone “The republic is under siege by a moron,” recently gave a far-reaching interview on the popular podcast “WTF with Marc Maron.” In it, he wondered aloud if Trump “is simply competent enough to do this particular job.” Speaking about Trump’s election, Springsteen warned, “When you let that genie out of the bottle — bigotry, racism, intolerance … they don’t go back in the bottle that easily if they go back in at all. Whether it’s a rise in hate crimes, people feeling they have license to speak and behave in ways that previously were considered un-American and are un-American. That’s what he’s appealing to. My fears are that those things find a place in ordinary, civil society.” Some celebrities didn’t wait quite so long to attack the president-elect. “West Wing” and “Social Network” screenwriter Aaron Sorkin published a letter in Vanity Fair addressed to his ex-wife Julia and his 15-year-old daughter Roxy the day after the election. In it, he called Trump “an incompetent pig with dangerous ideas, a serious psychiatric disorder, no knowledge of the world and no curiosity to learn,” then wrote simply, “This is truly horrible.” As The Washington Post reported: It was full of sharp language and vitriol (at one point, he called the president-elect a certain type of “nozzle” that can’t be printed here; at another, he stated Trump will be impeached within the year), despite the magazine labeling it as “moving.” That said, there have been a few celebrities who have urged Americans to give Trump a chance, even if he wasn’t their first pick for the presidency. We all need to give President-Elect Trump a chance. Support the good. Lobby against what we disagree on. No one is bigger than us all — Mark Cuban (@mcuban) November 9, 2016 While accepting the Trevor Hero Honoree Award at the annual fundraiser for the Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization focused on suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth, Kelly Osbourne said to the audience, “We have to give him a chance. And we do it by spreading love, not hate.” Mirroring this, BET founder Bob Johnson said, “Let’s give him a shot. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and see if we can find common ground. That is what’s best for African Americans.” Finally, some have outright supported Trump, such as former NBA star Dennis Rodman, who told Black Press USA, “We don’t need another politician, we need a businessman like Trump.” More from Morning Mix: The touching letter the Bush twins wrote to Sasha and Malia Obama about being first daughters Armed civilian kills suspect, saving life of Ariz. trooper ‘ambushed’ on highway Introducing Daliyah, the 4-year-old girl who has read more than 1,000 books ‘Flip or Flop’: The phoenix-like rise and bizarre fall of HGTV’s second-favorite couple

A Bad Moms Christmas is a 2017 American Christmas comedy film written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. It is a sequel to the 2016 film Bad Moms. The plot follows the three moms from the first film (Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn) dealing with their own mothers (Christine Baranski, Cheryl Hines, and Susan Sarandon) visiting during the Christmas holiday. Principal photography on the film began in Atlanta, Georgia in May 2017, and the film was released by STXfilms in the United States on November 1, 2017. It received mixed reviews, with criticism aimed at the thin story and raunchy jokes, and grossed over $130 million worldwide.[3] Plot [ edit ] Amy (Mila Kunis) is now in a happy relationship with Jesse (Jay Hernandez) and is looking forward to having a simple Christmas. Her plans are derailed when her overly critical mother, Ruth (Christine Baranski), texts her to say she is coming for Christmas. Meanwhile, Kiki (Kristen Bell) is still overworked with her four kids but now her husband Kent is much more helpful. Kiki is surprised when her mother Sandy (Cheryl Hines) shows up three days earlier than expected and is planning to spend the next three weeks with Kiki. Sandy's love for Kiki is overwhelming, and smothering Kiki. When Carla (Kathryn Hahn) gets home, her mother, Isis (Susan Sarandon), has arrived, telling her she intends to spend time with her for the first time in years. Surprised by this turn of events Carla is excited to spend time with her. Eventually, Amy, Kiki and Carla go to the mall where they express their misery over the holidays. But while commiserating about the pressures of the holidays they make a pact to "take Christmas back". Ruth tries to create a spectacle out of Christmas, rather than keeping it simple like Amy wanted. In an effort to tamp down those plans Amy takes the family to Sky Zone to meet up with Kiki and Carla and their families. Ruth, Sandy and Isis all meet and chat while their daughters have fun with their kids. At work, Carla meets an erotic dancer named Ty (Justin Hartley), who says he is competing in a Sexy Santa competition and he asks Carla to be his date, which she enthusiastically accepts. Kiki continues to have issues with her mother's overbearing ways and decides to bring Sandy to Dr. Karl (Wanda Sykes) to discuss these issues. This leads to a breakdown in communication leading to Kiki scolding Sandy and causing her to leave the session. Amy and Kiki join Carla as they attend the Sexy Santa show. All the ladies in the room are impressed with Ty's dancing. To everyone's surprise, Isis gets up on the bar and starts dancing with Ty. Carla runs up to get Ty back, leading to a fight. When Carla brings Isis home, Isis tells her she needs money for a new investment, but Carla knows she's just going to gamble it all away and then disappear from Carla's life like it's been for years. Nonetheless, Carla relents and loans Isis the money. On Christmas Eve, Sandy tells Kiki that she put up a cash offer for the house next door so that she can live right next to Kiki. Finally, Kiki lashes out and tells Sandy she cannot live next door and that she wants some space. Sandy leaves the room crying. Amy gets angry with Ruth when she discovers Ruth has invited a bunch of strangers over to her home to throw an elaborate Christmas party, exactly what Amy did not want. Amy loses her temper and demands everyone leave her home and tells Ruth to leave and get out of her life forever. Her kids, Jane and Dylan, witness this outburst and become upset with Amy. Meanwhile, Carla finds a note from Isis indicating she has just taken off with the money she lent her. Kiki is all alone as well. Ruth goes to church for Midnight Mass and is, surprisingly, joined by Sandy and Isis. All the ladies criticize each other for their efforts as mothers, with each of them realizing their flaws. Amy's father, Hank, goes to her to talk about Ruth and the horrible fight they had, but acknowledging that while Ruth can be difficult to deal with, Ruth has always been incredibly insecure, always worried whether or not she was doing a good job as a mother, but she always had the right intentions and loved Amy unconditionally. Amy goes to the church where Ruth is in order to try and repair her relationship with her mother. The two apologise to each other, with both confessing how much they genuinely love each other. Ruth tells Amy that she is a wonderful mother. The two embrace tightly. As the clock strikes midnight, Amy realises that she needs her mother to help her fix Christmas. The two rush home to start decorating the house properly. On Christmas morning, Jane and Dylan go downstairs to see that Ruth has returned, the relationship has been repaired and the house looking wonderful with decorations and gifts. Kiki makes up with Sandy, who tells her she put the neighboring house on the market and admits that she's just always felt lonely on Christmas since Kiki's father died. Carla is then visited by Isis, who is serious about turning her life around and has a new job at Sky Zone. All the families get together and Ruth, Sandy and Isis announce that they have become friends and are now planning to take a trip to Las Vegas. Cast [ edit ] Production [ edit ] In December 2016, it was announced that A Bad Moms Christmas would be released on November 3, 2017, and that it would be Christmas-themed, with Bell, Hahn, and Kunis returning to reprise their roles.[4][5] The release date was subsequently moved up two days to November 1, 2017.[6] In April 2017, Justin Hartley joined the cast of the film,[7] and in May 2017, Susan Sarandon, Christine Baranski, and Cheryl Hines joined as the mothers' mothers, alongside Wanda Sykes and Jay Hernandez reprising their roles from the first film.[8] Principal photography on the film began in Atlanta, Georgia on May 1, 2017.[9][10] Release [ edit ] A Bad Moms Christmas was released on Wednesday, November 1, 2017. It was originally scheduled for November 3, 2017, but was pushed back two days to avoid direct competition with Thor: Ragnarok.[11] In Australia, the film was released under the title Bad Moms 2. Home media [ edit ] The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on February 6, 2018 in the United States and Canada. Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ] A Bad Moms Christmas grossed $72.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $58.5 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $130.6 million, against a production budget of $28 million.[2] In North America, the film was projected to gross around $25 million from 3,615 theaters in its first five days (including $17 million over the weekend).[12] It took in $2.7 million on its first day,[13] and $17 million over the weekend, for a five-day total of $21.6 million, finishing second at the box office behind Thor: Ragnarok.[14] Critical response [ edit ] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 30% based on 116 reviews with an average rating of 4.5/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Featuring twice the moms but roughly half the laughs, A Bad Moms Christmas is a slapdash holiday sequel that falls short of the original with a disappointing dearth of good cheer."[15] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a weighted average score of 42 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[16] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, down from the "A" earned by the first film, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it a "very low" 68% overall positive score.[13] Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a mixed review, writing, "A Bad Moms Christmas should appeal to the same—dare I say it?—demo that Bad Moms did, even though it's not nearly as wild a comedy. It has one halfway original idea, which is that when you're a mom yourself, the ability of your own mom to drive you nuts is heightened to the third power, because you're competing on levels that are almost primal."[17] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood gave the film a positive review, calling it a "good time movie" and writing: "...it goes way over the top, but I have to confess I laughed—a lot—and that's obviously the point even if this is not critic's fodder or meant to be. Subtle this is not, but A Bad Moms Christmas is the perfect tonic to lift your spirits and forget your troubles in these dark times."[18] Three New Zealanders, following in the footsteps of Kiwi heroes Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery (of "The Worst Idea of All Time"), are watching this film every week for a year (52 times in total) for their podcast "The Even Worse Idea of All Time".

It was a family affair for Angelina Jolie! Get push notifications with news, features and more. The Oscar-winning actress was smiling ear-to-ear as she hit the red carpet alongside her daughters Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, 11, and Zahara Jolie-Pitt 13, at the 2018 Annie Awards — which celebrated the best animated films of the year — in Los Angeles on Saturday. The 42-year-old star wore a floor-length silver gown, while her two daughters both wore black outfits. Shiloh wore a black suit with a white shirt while Zahara opted for a black lace top and matching black pants. David Livingston/Getty David Livingston/Getty Jolie was on hand to celebrate the film The Breadwinner, an animated movie about a headstrong young girl in Afghanistan who disguises herself as a boy in order to provide for her family. The film, which Jolie co-produced, won the award for best animated feature-independent. Jolie had previously told PEOPLE how “proud” she was “to be part of this beautiful film with this timely and very important subject matter.” David Livingston/Getty “Millions of girls around the world have to grow up before their time, working to provide for their families at a very young age and in difficult circumstances. They have the strength to do what no one should ask little girls to do,” she continued, adding, “I hope this film is able to bring this discussion to a broader audience.” The film has also been nominated for a 2018 Academy Award for best animated feature film.

President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday that Kathy Griffin “should be ashamed” for her latest work, a controversial photograph that featured the comedian holding a bloody, decapitated head meant to invoke Trump himself. “Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!” Trump wrote on Twitter. Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2017 The photograph of Griffin, taken by provocative image creator Tyler Shields, went viral on Tuesday and was quickly denounced by both Trump supporters and detractors, including Chelsea Clinton and Debra Messing, among others. After first defending the photo, Griffin issued an apology late Wednesday. “I sincerely apologize. I am just now seeing the reaction of these images. I’m a comic. I crossed the line. I move the line, then I cross it. I went way too far. The image is too disturbing. I understand how it offends people. It wasn’t funny. I get it. Griffin added, “I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my career. I will continue. I ask for your forgiveness. [I’m] taking down the image, going to ask the photographer to take down the image. And I beg for your forgiveness. I went too far, I made a mistake, and I was wrong.” One person who isn’t ready to forgive Griffin is Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr. On Twitter, Donald called Griffin’s apology “phony” and cited the existence of a video released by Shields and since pulled to back up his claims about her sincerity.

Rihanna‘s roar may be worse than her bite. Days after the 30-year-old songstress was photographed in an apparent argument with her rumored boyfriend, Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel, she seemed to lightheartedly respond to the tabloid story with a meme on her Instagram page. “when u think u know more bout soccer 😼💪🏿 #worldcup2018,” Rihanna captioned the image of a male lion timidly backing away from the growling female feline, which somewhat resembled her passionately pointing fingers at Jameel while in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Of course, it’s unknown if the duo were really feuding over soccer or the star was just trying to break the tension before gossip ran wild. What is clear is that Rihanna is a super fan of the tournament — she was even cheering from the stands when Germany bested Argentina 1-0 to win the 2014 World Cup.

Blac Chyna's ongoing legal battle with the Kardashians has taken an interesting new turn as Rob Kardashian's ex and the mother of his child, Dream, has added Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner to her lawsuit against the reality TV family — months after she had dismissed them from the case, according to TMZ. Chyna is suing the Kardashian family because she claims they played a role in the cancellation of her E! reality show, Rob & Chyna. However, the family maintains the show ended after she got a restraining order against Rob, making it difficult to film a show about them. Blac Chyna first filed the lawsuit back in October 2017. Just last month, Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian were tentatively dismissed from the case. It's not completely clear, TMZ notes, why the sisters were added back to the lawsuit. Though, allegedly, shady comments were made about the show by one or both of the women. As for Kim and Kris, after they were tentatively dismissed, the judge did allow for Blac Chyna to someday create a new case against them in the future, should she want to do that.

Justin Bieber is reported to have 'abandoned' his third pet, an adorable puppy called Karma. According to The Sun, the 20-year-old pop star left his American bulldog pup with a dog trainer back in February... and hasn't been back for her since. Speaking to the paper, trainer Trevor Dvernichuk revealed he had been left with the pooch for months. Scroll down for video Is that good Karma? Justin Bieber is said to have left behind his American bulldog puppy Karma with a dog trainer in Canada... and hasn't picked her up since February 'This is like taking your kid to school and not picking it back up,' he said. Bieber's father Jeremy had originally asked Dvernichuk, of Ontario, Canada, to look after Karma for a few weeks and get her trained before taking her to America. However, the singer has failed to return to get the dog and is said to have not responded to calls to take her back. He also claimed that the singer has not paid for Karma's upkeep. Adorable: Karma the puppy - who was named by one of his fans - came into Bieber's life last Christmas In September, the dog trainer took to his Facebook page, writing: 'Karma is gonna bite you in your ass biebers.' He posted his comment along with a YouTube video news report about the singer getting his dog back in December 2013. He later added on his Facebook page: 'More pictures of Karma' up to date pictures...the best behaved American bulldog i've ever had the honor to train...but its time for her to go.' The Baby hitmaker first got his puppy back at the end of last year for Christmas, picking her up from Ruffin's Pet Centre in Stratford, Ontario. His dad then asked Bieber's army of fans to come up with a name for her, and they soon settled on Karma. At the time, Bieber Senior wrote on Twitter: 'So we're gonna let one lucky #belieber name @justinbieber's new puppy.... Follow and find out how it can be you).' BFFs: Bieber and Mally appeared to be best pals for a while, but Justin soon grew tired of the monkey He later updated his page with the winner, writing: 'so we have got a name selected for the newest Bieber. Big thanks to @justinfredos the Belieber who chose it ".Karma" (sic).' This isn't the first pet that the international superstar has left behind after a brief period of time. In December 2012, he gave away his pet hamster, Pac, to a random screaming fan at a Jingle Ball concert, making her promise she would 'take care of him'. Sadly the teenage super-fan didn't turn out to be a very good surrogate parent to Pac, and he went to 'little hamster heaven,' in March 2013. In June last year, Bieber's Capuchin monkey was seized by German customs officials after the singer brought it on tour to Munich with him without the right vaccination and import paperwork. He had the opportunity to retrieve 20-month old Mally, but failed to collect him on time and missed a deadline to send the documents, according to customs spokesman Thomas Meister. Ownership of the animal was then transferred to Germany and he was taken first to a Munich animal shelter and now lives in Serengeti Park near Hanover, which later billed Biebs $8,000 to cover vaccinations, accommodation and transport. The Munich shelter has previously criticised Bieber for keeping such a young monkey as a pet, saying it shouldn't have been taken away from its mother until it was a year old. Experts say Capuchins also need to be kept in groups, not alone. A representative for Justin Bieber declined to comment on the matter after being approached.

By Abigail Malbon 4 months ago The public has well and truly fallen in love with royal bride-to-be Meghan Markle. Which must, by default, mean that Kate Middleton is jealous of her rising star. Right? Short answer: no. But, if the public speculation is anything to go by, you’d be forgiven for thinking so. The Hollywood Gossip recently ran an article titled ‘Kate Middleton: Jealous of Meghan Markle?‘ in which they claimed that the Duchess’ upcoming third baby and lack of involvement in the royal wedding could mean “potential for resentment”. Similarly, the Daily Beast wrote, ‘Step Aside, Kate. Meghan Is the New People’s Princess’. But it’s not just the media. Millions of Twitter fan accounts are dedicated to Meghan, many of which seem to be focused on tearing down Kate Middleton in their wake. The reality of royal life is very different. 9Honey’s royal correspondent Victoria Arbiter says there’s no truth in the rumours that there’s tension between the two. “It’s interesting isn’t it? Society loves to pit women against women… so clearly because Meghan is suddenly so popular Kate must be cowering in the corner feeling sorry for herself,” she said. “But I simply don’t think that’s how Kate operates. RELATED: The biggest pressure Meghan Markle will face as a royal (post continues) “She’s been in the royal fold since 2011, she’s done an incredibly good job...and I think Kate is very content with her role. She loves being a mother. “I think she’s quite happy to let Harry and Meghan have the limelight at the moment, because it is a lot when you’re front and centre all the time, when you’re dealing with the press intrusion, public intrusion. And of course, in this day and age, when everyone has a camera phone, you really can’t ever escape it.” The intrusion Victoria mentions was all new to Kate when she was introduced to the world as William’s fiancee in 2010, but flashing cameras and screaming fans are rather more familiar to former Suits actress Meghan. (Getty) While Kate had a family-orientated upper middle class upbringing in the UK, Meghan’s divorced - but loving - parents raised her in the USA. Kate went on to study at a prestigious British university, where she met William, while Meghan established her career in Hollywood. Kate married the man she met when she was a young woman, whereas Meghan is a divorcee. But while their lives have been very different, the two women appear to be forming a close bond - one which, Victoria believes will be built on their unusual circumstances. “I definitely think Kate will have been a tower of strength for Meghan,” she said. “And I think Kate will be offering Meghan everything which was perhaps lacking when she married into the royal family.” Victoria believes that the public outpouring of love for Harry and Meghan might just be something of a welcome relief for the Duke and Duchess, who are about to become parents for the third time. “I actually think William and Kate are going to be quite happy to take a bit of a step back, but also share the limelight with Meghan and Harry,” she explained. The "Fab Four" - as they have already been coined by some - may have a world of pressure on their shoulders, but it seems more than likely that both Meghan and Kate are simply happy to have a friend to understand their unusual life path.

Celebrity conspiracy theories: Kate Middleton's 'surrogate pregnancy' to Marilyn Monroe's overdose by Kayleigh Dray | 07 04 2016 Celebrity conspiracy theories © WENN / REX / YOUTUBE Conspiracy theorists, rejoice! From Beyonce's fake baby bump to Marilyn Monroe's murder, we've taken a look back over the most enduring celebrity conspiracy theories of all time. Read on for more... Kate Middleton did NOT give birth to a baby girl Yeah, you read that right; some people out there have convinced themselves that the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to Princess Charlotte via a surrogate mother. Why? Well, for no real reason other than the fact that she looked so good when she appeared outside the Lindo Wing of London's St Mary's Hospital with Princess Charlotte on 2nd May 2015. One conspiracy theorist, who was quoted in a Russian newspaper, said: “It was a surrogate mother who gave birth but not her. Kate must have been wearing a fake belly showing to the people that she was pregnant. Another added to the Komsomolskaya Pravda: “She did not give birth, I am sure. There is no special maternal look in her eyes - this natural thing is not visible.” This theory is, quite obviously, nonsense; the Duchess of Cambridge was just lucky enough to have a team of stylists on hand after Princess Charlotte’s arrival – hence the amazing hair, makeup, and coordinating mother-and-baby ensemble. And the thing about the eyes? Utterly bizarre; all you need to do is look at Kate to see just how much she loves her little girl. Beyonce is actually Solange's mum Apparently Beyoncé wasn’t actually born in 1981; yup, someone who claims to work for the Department of Health in Texas supposedly unearthed her birth certificate and claims it has her birth date as 1974. Gabrielle Union, who was born in 1972, also famously said that she and Queen B were BFFs when they were teenagers - again suggesting that she's a tad older than she says she is. Cue people claiming that Beyonce got pregnant at around 12 or 13-years-old, had a baby girl, and her family covered it up by pretending Solange was actually Matthew and Tina's daughter. COULD IT BE?!?! Probably not; it sounds too much like an EastEnders storyline to us. Also, y'know, there are pictures and videos of them together as children. Children who are THE SAME AGE. Nicolas Cage is a vampire There's a photo of a man from the Civil War circulating the interweb, and, yes, it looks a lot like Nicolas Cage. This has led people to claim that (it pains us to write this) the actor is, in fact, a vampire - and he reinvents himself every 75 years or so. facepalm Brittany Murphy was murdered by the government Brittany Murphy died on 20th December 2009 at the age of 32 after suffering a reported cardiac arrest. At the time of her death, the Los Angeles coroner said he believed the cause of death "appears to be natural", later stating that it was an accident spurred by medications she was taking to combat pneumonia and an iron deficiency. But, when her husband, Simon Monjack, died five months later, in similar circumstances to Brittany, her father grew suspicious. Angelo Betolotti obtained hair, blood and tissue samples for independent testing - and they have reportedly revealed the presence of ten separate heavy metals in Brittany's system. At the time of her death, Brittany reportedly displayed all the symptoms of heavy metal poisoning, including headaches, dizziness, abdominal cramps, coughing, sweating, disorientation, wheezing, congestion and pneumonia. In a recent interview with Fleur De Lis Film Studios, Brittany's father claimed that his daughter was under surveillance after speaking out in support of Julia Davis, a government whistleblower: "They were, in fact, under surveillance, including helicopters. Their telephones were wiretapped. “Vicious rumours, spread by tabloids, unfairly smeared Brittany’s reputation. My daughter was neither anorexic nor a drug junkie, as they repeatedly implied. "Brittany and Simon were ridiculed […] when they complained of being under surveillance and in fear for their lives. I will not rest until the truth about these tragic events is told. There will be justice for Brittany.” Do you think there is more to her death than meets the eye? Tom Cruise hired Katie Holmes to be his wife As far-fetched as it sounds, plenty of people out there believe that Tom Cruise approached several young Hollywood stars (including Scarlett Johansson) with an offer of a five-year marriage contract. In exchange for marrying Cruise, the bride would receive a career boost and cash, plus a bonus if she gave birth to a child. For Tom, the marriage would provide him with a child, rehabilitate his increasingly eccentric public image, and finally quash all of those pesky gay rumors. However sources close to the couple (whom are now divorced) have poured water on the rumours, insisting Cruise was "completely in love with Katie". Plus there's the fact that Katie demanded sole custody of daughter Suri in her divorce filing; surely any pre-existing contract between her and Cruise would have prevented her from doing any such thing? James Hewitt is Prince Harry's real dad Hmm. Basically, James Hewitt claimed he had an affair with Princess Diana from 1986 - 1991, and, as he looks a lot like Harry, a lot of people have said he MUST be the prince's real dad. Harry, being the jokester he is, has never taken the reports seriously - and has even cracked a joke about it. During a visit to Bacon’s College in South East London with William and Kate in July 2012, a young boy shouted across the football field to Wills: “Are you two brothers?” Quick-witted Harry instantly replied: “We’re not sure.” Oh Hazzer, we love you so. Marilyn Monroe was murdered Marilyn Monroe's death remains a mystery, even today, although there is a LOT of evidence to suggest that she was murdered. And we don't say things like that lightly... While empty pill bottles were found in her room, the room contained no means to wash the pills down (there was no glass and the water was turned off). T he pathologist, Dr. Thomas Noguchi, could find no trace of capsules, powder or the typical discolouration caused by Nembutal in Monroe's stomach or intestines, indicating that the drugs that killed her had not been swallowed. T he time of death and witness statements do not match up, phone records have suspiciously gone missing and police claim that Marilyn's housekeeper had changed the sheets - was even washing sheets - when they arrived. But if it wasn't suicide, who killed her? In October 2006, under the Freedom of Information Act, the FBI released thousands of classified documents, including a three-page report about Marilyn Monroe. It detailed Marilyn's affairs with John F. Kennedy, claiming that he had promised to divorce his wife and marry her. But, when Marilyn found out he had no intention of doing so, she threatened to go public with their affair. W hen you add the contents of this file to the MANY discrepancies in the evidence surrounding Marilyn's death, you can see why so many conspiracy theorists are adamant that Marilyn was murdered. Khloe Kardashian's dad is OJ Simpson Khloe Kardashian's stepmother famously claimed that the reality star is not Robert Kardashian's biological daughter. And, in 2013, OJ Simpson's manager has added fuel to the flames, stating that Khloe "could be OJ's kid". "It's all going to come out sooner or later," Norman Pardo told In Touch Weekly in a new interview about her paternity. OJ, who’s currently serving a 9-to 33-year sentence in a Nevada prison for kidnapping and armed robbery, hasn't denied that Khloé could be his daughter. “Whenever I bring it up, he giggles.” Kris and O.J. were close friends before Robert, an attorney, successfully defended the NFL star against charges he’d murdered his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, who was also one of Kris’ dearest friends. “They all took their vacations together. There was a lot of partying going on back then." We doubt Khloe will be too perturbed by the claims. In fact, she resisted having a DNA test last year, telling Kris Jenner in her typically blunt and hilarious manner: “My dad is Robert Kardashian. My other dad is Bruce Jenner. "If you f**ked other people during the same time, and you do not know, go on Maury. Like, I don’t care!” Pippa Middleton wore a fake bum to the royal wedding It's not so much a hit below the belt as it is a hit below the skirt, is it? Yup, Mr Bern, a Knight of the Order of Grimaldi in Monaco and an expert on etiquette, claimed last year that the bum which enchanted the world was, in fact, a false. He said: “But of course she had a false bottom. I repeat it,she had a false bottom. “You take her away from that and she has normal buttocks. It was an optical illusion. “She knew there were a billion people watching. It was the moment to show it.” Sounds a pretty bum theory to us - Pippa's shapely derriere couldn't possibly have been faked! Michael Jackson was chemically castrated Michael Jackson had a truly amazing voice - but some have claimed that his ability to reach those high notes was all down to chemical castration. Alain Branchereau, a professor of vascular surgery, insisted that MJ used the synthetic anti-male hormone drug Cyproterone as a cure for his acne. He said: "When he was 12, Michael Jackson had acne. We know this, he spoke about it himself as a tragedy. "What I think could have happened is that his people suggested this miracle treatment." He explained that the drug "blocks puberty, the voice can't mature," stops bodily hair and the larynx from growing, and affects the bones, leaving the body with a slight frame and a large chest. When the treatment is finished, the patient "keeps a child's larynx all his life in a man's body." We will never have proof as to whether or not this is true, but the rumour makes us feel desperately sad. Paul McCartney died in a car crash- and was replaced by a lookalike Yeah, you heard us. A lot of obsessive Beatles fans are CONVINCED that Sir Paul is an impostor and that the real deal was decapitated and burnt to a crisp in a car crash. Hmm. Because of all the buckets of money the Beatles contributed to England's tax coffers, their continued success was vital to the financial health of the nation. So the British government, in cahoots with the surviving members of the Beatles, conspired to cover-up Paul's death. Apparently the evidence we need to believe this theory can be found on the cover of the Beatles' last album, Abbey Road. Which was, apparently, a way for the other Beatles to confess and alleviate their guilt over the whole body swap thing. The image shows the fab four crossing the road, with Lennon in white (the preacher), Starr in black (the undertaker), "McCartney" in a suit and barefoot (the corpse) and Harrison in blue jeans and work shirt (the grave digger). Paul is out of step with the other boys, suggesting he's not an original bug. Sir Paul, in an interview with Life, has since explained that "On Abbey Road we were wearing our ordinary clothes. I was walking barefoot because it was a hot day. The Volkswagen just happened to be parked there." But the theorists refuse to believe him. Well, they wouldn't, would they? NOBODY BELIEVES FAKE PAUL! Beyonce faked her pregnancy Forget the Solange theory; remember how everyone decided that Beyonce faked her pregnancy? Yeah. It was all based on a moment when Queen Bee sat down for an interview with Molly Meldrum in Australia and her pregnant belly appeared to… well, deflate. In a strange way. And she was spotted pulling an "oops" face just after it happened, if you believe the extremely slowed-down versions of the moment on YouTube. Whatever. We label this one SERIOUSLY far-fetched, but, to all the disbelievers out there, it's safe to say that Bey is a pretty awesome mum to Blue Ivy. Surrogate or not. Miley Cyrus died in 2010 and was replaced by a lookalike Yup, just like Paul McCartney. Duh! Apparently Miley's body was found in the desert way back in 2010 and was replaced by another Disney star, who got plastic surgery to look like her. You can check out all of the (very flimsy and ludicrous) 'evidence' for the far-fetched theory here What do you think? Elvis Presley faked his own death Elvis may have left the building, but plenty of people are still debating over which route he took. Yup, there's a persistent belief that "the King" did NOT die in 1977, he simply faked his own death. Sigh. Elvis was, according to theorists, a prisoner of his own fame. He couldn't go anywhere without being recognised and was forced to experiment with wigs and glasses in a bid to go about his everyday life undetected. But things got… well, they got too much. He decided to fake his death, say goodbye to Elvis Presley and live out his last years in peace and solitude. Apparently Elvis, much like Shakespeare's Romeo, knew which drugs he could self-administer to create a deathlike state. His extensive experience with the martial arts and yoga was such that he could slow his heart rate and breathing in order to feign death. And he was no stranger to using a fake name; government documents report that Elvis used the name John Burrows as an alias when he wanted to travel incognito. Throw in hundreds of rumoured sightings, a seriously speedy funeral (it happened ONE DAY after the King checked out), a mysterious black helicopter floating around Graceland, an elderly man named Jesse who was snapped hanging out with Lisa Marie's son (his grandson) and a rumoured wax body double in the open casket and you have a recipe for a good ol' fashioned conspiracy theory. A lthough we have a feeling a lot of people were so desperate to believe this theory that they couldn't help but find "evidence" to support it. Whatever. Long live the King, we guess! Keanu Reeves is immortal If you want to see the proof for this theory, it's here - but we can summarise it for you. Basically, Keanu Reeves looks young. His face has barely a wrinkle upon it since he burst onto our screens way back when - and, after someone found a portrait of Charlemagne, little minds started working in overtime. They write: "Aside from the striking resemblance, the account of the death of Charlemagne rise suspicion. "First of all he crowned his son just before dying (just like he knew he was going to 'die') secondly his burial was rushed during cold weather this is a clear hint that they needed to bury a body to not rise any suspicion." They then go on to find a number of people throughout history who look an awful lot like Keanu Reeves (in the sense that they are also humans with dark hair and eyes), and insist this is proof the actor has 'everlasting life'. This is why, they say, he is so generous in his charitable donations; he has plenty of money leftover from his long old life. We dispute this theory, naturally; anyone else think Keanu just uses a really good moisturiser? Kurt Cobain was murdered The Nirvana singer was found dead at his home in Seattle on April 8, 1994. It seemed an open and shut case; the singer - who had disappeared from a drug rehabilitation clinic - had, according to his wife, Courtney Love, been suicidal and a suicide note was found. The initial police report stated that Cobain had been found with a shotgun across his chest and an autopsy ruled that he had died by a single gunshot wound to the head and that he had taken a large amount of heroin. However, Tom Grant, a private investigator hired by Love to find Cobain after he disappeared from the clinic, believed that the singer was murdered. He claimed that the amount of heroin in Cobain's bloodstream would have made it impossible for him to have put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Grant insists an unknown assassin administered the drug and then shot Cobain. But what about that suicide note? Well, Grant believed that the supposed "suicide" note was actually a letter announcing Kurt's plans to leave Courtney Love and the music business and that references to suicide had been added later. But who would have wanted Kurt dead? We just don't buy this one. John Lennon was killed by the US government The former Beatle was shot dead outside the Dakota building in New York where he lived by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980. Chapman was jailed for murder and is still in prison. Case closed, right? Wrong. Obviously. Conspiracy theories, unable to let it go, have claimed that Chapman was programmed by US government agents to kill Lennon - and that they used the novel Catcher in the Rye as a signal to go ahead with the operation. But why on earth would the government want to kill John Lennon? It just doesn't make any sense. Bruce Lee kicked his way out of his coffin Martial arts legend Bruce Lee was pronounced dead at the tender age of 32, due to swelling of the brain. But, being so young and healthy, people immediately became sceptical. And, after Bruce's coffin lid had to be replaced, many assumed he'd kicked it off and escaped to live a better life. Where? In Brussels. Hey, don't blame us - we don't come up with these ideas! North West is the antichrist Kim Kardashian and Kanye West welcomed their first child into the world on June 15, 2013 - quite a bit earlier than her original due date. This could have been down to Kim's pre-eclampsia, but that, for many people, was too logical a suggestion. Instead, they've decided it's because North West is the antichrist. Yup, you read that right; the antichrist. It has been suggested that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were desperate to have their child on 15th June, 2013. That’s 15/6/2013 in numeric form. Check it out: (1+5)=6, 6, 2+0+1+3=6Ergo, 6/15/2013 = 666 - the number of the devil. SIGH - someone spent a lot of time trying to make those numbers work. Poor little Nori, eh? Tupac is alive and well and living in Cuba Tupac tragically died on 13th September 1996, after being shot as he rode in a car driven by Death Row Records chairman "Suge" Knight near the Las Vegas strip in September 1996. But plenty of his fans refuse to believe it. Why? Well, there's the fact he was cremated the day after his death - there's no body for fans to dig up and examine as 'proof. The rest of their 'evidence' is pretty shady. Apparently Tupac staged his own death and fled to Cuba to live out his years in peace with his godmother Assata Shakur. Following an Eminem reference to Pac’s Cuban refuge and the addition of Pac’s godmother to the F.B.I.’s most wanted list, threads began to pop up on forums alluding that he would return from Cuba in 2014. Plus there's the hologram performance, which some conspiracy theorists have decided was actually the real Tupac. And there's all those 'sightings' of Tupac around the world, lurking in the backgrounds of photographs and videos. Hmm. We're not convinced - are you? Buddy Holly escaped the Bermuda Triangle Buddy Holly is a bit of a mystery, mainly because his death is connected to the ultra-mysterious Bermuda Triangle. Yup, we swear it; the singer’s plane disappeared somewhere over that eerie stretch of water - and now plenty of YouTubers have claimed he's alive and well and living in Ganamede. Hmm. As long as his music continues to be played, he can live on wherever, surely? John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA Everyone has a theory on who killed JFK but, for most, the idea that the CIA was behind the assassination of the president is just too… well, too hard to disprove. First, the facts: On 22nd November 1963, President Kennedy was riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas, when he was shot and killed. Roughly one hour later, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for Kennedy's murder; however, Oswald was not in custody long before he was shot and killed by Jack Ruby. Next, the conspiracy theory: Most theorists do not believe Oswald was responsible for Kennedy's murder, while those that do believe he had help - after all, he was firing an ancient rifle from VERY far away. And hitting a small moving target from such a distance, in wind, would be difficult. Footage of the event taken by Abraham Zapruder supported the growing belief that at least four shots were fired - not the three that the Warren Commission claimed. The moments of impact recorded on the film also suggested that at least one of the shots came from a completely different direction to those supposedly fired by Oswald - evidence backed up by testimony of several eye witnesses. Many believed that several shots were fired by gunmen hiding behind a picket fence on a grassy knoll overlooking the plaza. There is an enduring theory that the CIA, furious over rumours that JFK was about to "splinter the CIA into a thousand peaces", staged the assassination. And, whether the shots were fired by the "three tramps" spotted at the scene of the crime, the agent who fired wildly in JFK's direction from the car behind or a lone sniper on the grassy knoll, it goes without saying that this is a theory that won't be going away any time soon. Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Suri & Scientology Speaking in her explosive new exposé “Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology”, Leah Remini has claimed that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes left their daughter Suri (at the time 7 months old) to cry on a bathroom floor at their wedding. After five minutes of listening to Suri’s cries, Leah claims she went to check on the baby and found Cruise’s sister, his assistant and another woman staring at her as though she was ‘L Ron Hubbard incarnate’, a rebirth of the religion’s founder. The actress claims that she finally convinced the women in the bathroom to pick up the crying baby and give her a bottle of warm milk. The Church of Scientology, which released a response to Remini on its website, stated of her claims about the wedding: "Every claim Ms. Remini has made is not only untrue, but ridiculous and stupid. She is just trying to latch onto a prominent celebrity for her own publicity. “As a note, every guest but Ms. Remini respected the couple’s privacy by not speaking about it afterward. That in itself describes what kind of person Ms. Remini is: self-absorbed, rude and embarrassing, all traits she displayed as a guest of this event according to parishioners who attended."

Bryan Abasolo, Peter Kraus and Eric Bigger were the final three contestants on the ABC reality series, which broke traditional format during its annual three-hour TV event. [Warning: This story contains spoilers from the season finale of ABC's Bachelorette.] Bachelorette viewers were finally clued in on the identity of Rachel Lindsay's man on Monday night's finale. But the reveal did not play out as the audience anticipated. Lindsay, who is ABC's first black Bachelorette, picked Bryan Abasolo as the recipient of her final rose. In return, the Colombian chiropractor got down on one knee at the Rioja, Spain, proposal site and popped the question. After a season spent achieving many historic firsts to the 15-year-old franchise — and one that has been accused of race-baiting by highlighting race-fueled arguments — Lindsay's choice remains a trailblazing one, as Abasolo joins a small handful of diverse winners in the show's combined 34 seasons. Her decision also ranked as a first in the way it played out. The three-hour TV event traditionally airs a pre-taped two-hour season finale, followed by the live After the Final Rose special when the star reunites with both her winner and her runner-up. Heading into the finale with three finalists, however, shook up the order of things. One by one, Lindsay's eliminated men — first Eric Bigger in a traditional rose ceremony, followed by Peter Kraus in an unanticipated exit — appeared by Lindsay's side to face the music. But the runner-up had never made it to the proposal site. Abasolo was the only one who got out of the limo for the traditional ending moment. "When we first kissed, it was literally like a chemistry bomb had exploded," Abasolo said, before offering a Neil Lane engagement ring. "I am completely head over heels, totally absolutely in love with you. I just hope you feel the same." She replied, "My heart has never been more confused than it has been this week. I was trying to find cracks in what seemed like the perfect foundation. I have really, really had to do some soul-searching to find the courage to challenge myself, but this love has been so sure. It's tested me in ways that I couldn't have even imagined. I always said that I would know that the person I'm supposed to be with is the person I could never picture my life without, so right here, in this moment standing with you, I see my forever and I see my future." She then accepted his proposal with a resounding yes, only one day after Kraus' intense and unplanned goodbye. Never before on The Bachelorette has a runner-up not made it to the proposal site. Her decision also marks the end of season-long speculation about whether or not Lindsay would pick a black contestant. The star, who told The Hollywood Reporter that she did not let race dictate her ultimate decision, has been open about the pressure from the African-American community to pick a black man and the anticipated backlash if she didn't. Only one of her final three contestants, Bigger, would have fit that bill. Traditionally, the newly minted pair appears live on the annual ATFR special, where they update host Chris Harrison and Bachelor Nation about life after the show. Lindsay, however, joined Harrison at the top of the triple hour and, in another show first, commented on the show as it aired and reunited with her exes as they were eliminated. Abasolo was the last of the three to join Lindsay, who was forced to take a look back at their romantic, and at times rocky, courtship on the series, which began with Lindsay meeting 31 contestants for the reality dating franchise's most diverse season ever. When he joined her during the live event, he re-proposed to Lindsay and told her that he never wants her to take the ring off ever again. The pair said they couldn't wait to get to know each other in a "normal" sense and admitted that they hadn't yet ironed out wedding details or where they plan to live. Lindsay is from Dallas and Abasolo hails from Miami, but they also threw Los Angeles into the mix. "I'm not one to hide and keep things in secret," she said of what she's most looking forward to. "I want to show this woman off," he added. Lindsay, who admitted that her family remains skeptical of the whole process, said that when she had to defend Abasolo against her family is the moment she knew he was the one for her: "He truly is my best friend." When speaking to THR after the recent Men Tell All reunion special taping, Lindsay acknowledged the pressure to name a winner. "I'm happy and that's all that really matters to me. And he's happy too," she said, adding that her code name for her fiance has been "Jerome." Adding, "I hope everyone is happy with my decision, but I know I can’t please everyone." Per show rules, she and "Jerome" have been living in hiding since filming wrapped months ago, and the negativity on social media has been one thing they weren't prepared for. "You can never really prepare for it because we’re thrown into this public view and people all have their own opinions," she had said weeks before the finale reveal. "They’ve all faced it, and my fiance definitely has as well. I think he’s handling it in the best way he can. And for me, I just have to be always positive and supportive." Abasolo's win continues the show's trend of the first impression rose being a precursor to the final one. On the first night, Lindsay, 31, awarded Abasolo, 37, with the coveted rose, along with the first kiss. The pair, whose chemistry was on display from the start, didn't hit any road bumps until introducing one another to their families. During Abasolo's hometown date to Miami, his mother told Lindsay she would "kill" her if she broke her son's heart. When he met the Lindsay family, the star's mother and sister strongly questioned his authenticity. Before Lindsay arrived at her happy ending, she had two finalists to eliminate. Early on in the episode, following their Fantasy Suite date, Lindsay said goodbye to Bigger. "It’s hard to say goodbye when I have such strong feelings for you, it’s just that I have stronger feelings for the other two guys here," she told the personal trainer. "It is important to understand that I do love you, I'm just not in love." Though Bigger and Lindsay's relationship didn't ramp up until the end of the season, the 29-year-old was devastated by her decision. "Truth be told I’ll always love you, that’s just the truth," he replied in a classy and heartfelt exit. Later in the limo, he confessed, "She was the one, for sure." When speaking with Harrison, Lindsay echoed the words she said during Bigger's goodbye. She contemplated running after his car and felt like she was potentially making a huge mistake. Breaking usual ATFR format, Bigger then appeared mid-episode to reunite with Lindsay, a face-to-face meeting that they both were visibly nervous to have. "It was tough, but I understood it," he said, after asking Lindsay how her heart was and if she was happy. "You had to do what you had to do." He said he was "absolutely" ready to propose: "Either I'm all in or I'm not, so I was ready." It was runner-up Kraus, however, who was dealt the biggest blow, his elimination silencing a loud majority of Bachelor Nation who had taken to social media to voice their opinions on who Lindsay should pick. There was also fervent social media support for Kraus to be named the next Bachelor if he didn't win. (Harrison, however, told THR they won't be announcing the next Bachelor until Bachelor in Paradise has had some time on the air.) After sharing his hesitations about proposing as the season went on, Lindsay ultimately told him that if he wasn't ready to propose on the final day she didn't want him to continue being on the show. Kraus told Lindsay that he wanted to continue being together but that he couldn't commit to proposing. Though Lindsay's family had applauded Kraus' realistic timeline of taking things slowly after a reality TV courtship, Lindsay herself has been adamant about wanting a fiance at the end of the journey, and not a boyfriend. "My fear is you don’t have that same level of commitment," she told him, later admitting to Harrison that she cried her eyelashes off about the breakup, which happened that night. "The hardest thing is saying goodbye to somebody I’m not supposed to be saying goodbye to." Kraus had been watching backstage and when he joined Lindsay on the couch, he opened up about regretting not being open enough to the process. "You were at your own pace," she told Kraus during an icy and tense reunion. "I just don’t think this process is for you. You need more time. You need to see things through." When Harrison brought up a comment he made about how life without him would be one of mediocrity, Lindsay did not accept his apology: "I'm living my best life." The emotional encounter continued, with Kraus saying he felt like he was being attacked and that he asked if he could reach out to Lindsay and was told no. Calling out his nervous and anxious feelings, he also said his feelings for her are still there. "I needed more experience with you, life experience," he said, letting her know that he cried backstage while re-watching it play out. Going into the finale, Lindsay had defended her picks and even provided a slight hint as to which man she would be picking in the end. Kraus had first confessed his proposal fears the same episode that Lindsay's family put Abasolo through the wringer. "I want somebody who wants what I want AND wants it with me," she wrote on Twitter after clarifying a conversation that aired between her and Kraus on their differing views of what it means to be engaged. Ultimately, Lindsay said she had no regrets. "I’ve learned that he is exactly the person that he said he is, which is scary," Lindsay told THR ahead of the finale. "Even in Fantasy Suites where you have off-camera time together, it’s not this extensive time, so you’re thrown into this world and you feel strongly for this person you want to spend the rest of your life with. But you’re also like, ‘Is this person the person they say they are?’ And I can honestly say that my fiance is even better than the way I thought he was. And that’s what’s been so great." As for her goals for life after the show, she had echoed what the pair said on Monday night, "We just want to bring our lives together, and I’m not sure how that will look or where we’ll be." She added, "But I know that we just want to be together and get to know each other better and build on the foundation that we’ve already started." The day after the finale, Lindsay and Abasolo visited the morning shows to make their first rounds as a TV couple. When appearing on Good Morning America, co-host Michael Strahan asked them about the awkwardness of facing Kraus. "I knew that he wasn’t the one for me," she said about Kraus and how she would have handled the finale if he had gone through with a proposal. "It was really important for me to not have two men standing up there at the end. If I knew what I was going to do, then I wanted to send that person home the night before." Abasolo admitted that it's always difficult to watch your fiancee "date 30 other men" and said he did not interact with Kraus during the finale special. "You feel a little frustration of how she was treated and the position she was put in for the simple fact that, here I am, totally committed, totally invested, totally ready to start a real future with this woman and then on the other end, you have someone who is indecisive, wishy-washy and at the same time, he’s telling her he’s in love with her and will propose," said Abasolo. On Live With Kelly & Ryan, Abasolo said they are thinking about tying the knot in December or January, since Lindsay has always wanted a winter wedding. Lindsay also addressed criticism of Abasolo being dubbed her runner-up due to Kraus bowing out. "I think you can clearly see that I have a lot of love for Bryan and that he was the one for me," she told co-host Ryan Seacrest. "I would have never just chosen the ring." She also confirmed that she was the one who shut down Kraus' request to communicate after he left the show, something he mentioned during the ATFR: "My focus was Bryan, I chose Bryan for a reason. Peter had his chance, that’s the back-and-forth I was talking about." Linday's new fiance took to Instagram in his first official public declaration of love after the finale: On cloud 9 #NY #CT #DAL #MIA # A post shared by Dr. Bryan Abasolo (@thebryanabasolo) on Aug 7, 2017 at 10:45pm PDT What do you think about Lindsay and her final choice?

The royal wedding is a multi-million dollar affair. Chris Jackson / Getty The average cost of a wedding for couples in the US and the UK is around $34,000 (£23,700). Five figures is a huge expense for a one-day affair. That is, unless you're ultra-rich — and especially if you're royalty rich. Next month, the world will bear witness to the most anticipated royal wedding in years. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set to be married on May 19 at St. George's Chapel, in Windsor, and will begin a carriage procession immediately after the ceremony. Their reception will take place later on the grounds of Windsor Castle. Kensington Palace will cover the cost of the wedding, an expense traditionally taken on by the bride's family. The case was the same for Kate Middleton and Prince William's 2011 royal wedding— the only item Middleton paid for was her six-figure Alexander McQueen dress. Their total wedding celebration cost $34 million (£23.7 million). Markle and Prince Harry's wedding will reportedly cost in excess of $45.8 million (£32 million), according to Bride Book's estimation. That's over 1,000 more than the average wedding. The venue is the biggest part of a typical wedding budget for couples in the US and the UK, taking up nearly half of the entire wedding cost. Access to St. George's Chapel — and St. George's Great Hall, where the wedding reception will take place — is free of charge for Markle and Prince Harry. Transportation is also free, thanks to the Queen's fleet of Rolls-Royces, Daimlers, and Bentleys. The greatest cost for the royal couple? Security. Protecting Markle and Prince Harry, plus thousands of guests and onlookers, will run Kensington Palace a whopping $43 million (£30 million), estimates Bride Book. That includes the cost of snipers, undercover police, military technology, and security drones. The bulk of Kate Middleton and Prince William's wedding budget similarly went to security costs. Otherwise, Markle and Prince Harry's total wedding spend, including food, cakes, entertainment, wardrobe, and the honeymoon, amounts to about $2.8 million. Below, check out Bride Book's breakdown of what the royal wedding will cost.

No. overall No. in season Title Directed by Written by Original air date US viewers (millions) In a flashback, an 18-year-old Henry says goodbye to Regina as he departs Storybrooke on a trip to new realms, in hopes of finding his own story. Many years later, Henry runs into Cinderella's carriage in the New Enchanted Forest and after a string of events that almost get them captured at a ball, he offers her the chance at a new start back in Storybrooke, as he is due to return through a portal that evening. When Henry finds a glass slipper left for him at their meeting spot, he decides to stay behind. In present-day Seattle, an older Henry is reunited with his daughter Lucy, whom he does not remember because of a curse. In hopes of breaking it, Lucy leads him to her neighborhood of Hyperion Heights, home to many other cursed fairytale characters including Jacinda, Lucy's down-on-her-luck single mother who is in a contentious relationship with her powerful stepmother Victoria. Others include Roni, a bar owner who is struggling with having to sell her establishment to Victoria, and Rogers, a cop who gets promoted to a detective and is introduced to his new partner, Weaver. In flashback to Storybrooke, Hook is training an 18 year old Henry as Emma watches on. She confesses to Hook that she worries Henry is about to leave on his own. In order to comfort her, Hook shows her a bottle Henry can use to call on them if he gets into trouble. Many years later, as Henry is about to be captured by Lady Tremaine, he uses the bottle to call on Emma, Hook, and Regina for help. In the present, Victoria hires Rogers and Weaver to drive Henry out of the neighborhood. Rogers does not agree with Weaver's methods and helps Henry instead.

She then meets Princess Tiana, who recruits her to be part of the resistance against Lady Tremaine. She leaves one of her glass slippers behind for Henry to find. A short while later, Henry, Regina, and Hook arrive at their campsite and join the efforts. Later, Cinderella sneaks into Tremaine's castle alone, where Tremaine reveals that she has kept her almost-deceased daughter Anastasia preserved since her "death" at age 14 and needs a pure heart to revive her. She tasks Cinderella with stealing Henry's, since he has the heart of the truest believer. In the present day, Jacinda tries to save Lucy's beloved community garden from Victoria, while Lucy takes a skeptical Henry on a trip under the garden lot in hopes of finding proof of everyone's fairytale pasts. Meanwhile, Henry, Roni, and Rogers find their first lead against Victoria.

When Gideon is 18, Belle comes across a prophecy that leads them to the Edge of Realms, where they must wait for the sun's brightest set before they can be guided to the path Rumple must take to get rid of the Darkness. They build a home there as they wait for the event to occur. However, an aging Belle eventually admits that the "sun" of which the prophecy spoke was actually herself and that her death will mark the start of his journey.

Drizella ends up blackening her own heart by killing the prince, making it unusable for revival, and vows to cast a Curse like Regina's to make her mother suffer. In the present day, Roni struggles with what to believe about the mysterious photo, which is complicated by newly discovered information about "Regina Mills" into which Lucy encouraged her to look. Drizella gathers the ingredients for a plant that the witch then cultivates and, when she serves its essence to Roni, she wakes up and remembers her life as Regina. Drizella then reveals that she cast the curse and blackmails Regina into keeping Henry and Jacinda apart, reminding her of a special contingency that was put into the Curse that would hurt her family if she didn't comply. 140 7 "Eloise Gardener" Alex Kalymnios David H.

When he arrives at the witch's tower, he finds Rapunzel instead. She instructs him to retrieve a golden flower from the witch's garden. When he returns with it to help her, they spend the night together. The next morning, it is revealed that Rapunzel is actually Gothel and their night together produced a baby, whom Gothel leaves behind so she can escape the tower. Hook gives the Jolly Roger to Smee and decides to stay with his daughter, who is unable to leave due to the tower's spell. He names her Alice after his own mother. In the present day, Rogers is on a mad hunt for Eloise with help from Henry and Tilly.

However, when they try to embrace, Hook gets hurt, and Alice runs away in fear. Henry and Cinderella chase her back to New Wonderland, a place where Cinderella reveals her mother Cecilia ran to after abandoning her and her stepfather. She takes a shrinking potion and leaves Henry, heading into the Infinite Maze alone to find answers. She finds Alice, who tells her that she met Cecilia before and that she was also afflicted with the Curse of the Poisoned Heart. Drizella appears in New Wonderland with a plan to curse Henry, but Alice and Cinderella are able to save him. Henry and Cinderella then share their first kiss.

He agrees to help her regain custody of Lucy, to Henry's dismay, and Lucy encourages Henry to fight for Jacinda. Meanwhile, Drizella and Gothel plan to revive Anastasia, but when they open her coffin, her body is missing.

When Gold finds Alice and believe her to be the person he was looking for, he test out the theory on Facilier by pulling his heart out and his hunch was correct, but then has a change of heart by withholding transfer of his power to Alice so she can be happy with Robin and not dealing with the burden she would carry. Alice also convinced Hook that Rumpelstiltskin is not a villain and the two became friends. In the present, Nick’s death has Weaver suspecting Samdi of stealing the Dagger, but Samdi says he had no involvement with taking the latter.

Ron Underwood Dana Horgan & Leah Fong May 4, 2018 ( ) 1.98[77] In the flashbacks to Henry's senior year of high school, Henry ponders over what his next step should be and tells Regina that he wants to explore colleges outside of Storybrooke. He ends up being accepted to every college he applied to, however, having to lie about his life experiences on the applications gave him doubts about leaving town after all. In the present day, Regina and Lucy try to break the curse before the coven fully gives their magic to Gothel's doomsday plot to wipe out mankind. After multiple failed attempts to wake Henry, Regina reveals that the curse had actually taken them back in time. When a disbelieving Henry decides to call a phone number listed on his supposed adoption papers, a young Henry picks up on the other line and it is revealed that the curse took them back to the same time period shown in the flashbacks and it is currently Henry's graduation night. The adult Henry gives his younger self some advice, which gives him the push he needs to be okay with leaving home.

Once on the other side, the group has been split, with Henry and Roni sent to the Dark Castle, while Weaver and Rogers are sent to Rumple's old hovel. Wish Rumple reveals that he has trapped Jacinda and Lucy in a snowglobe that will count down to their deaths by midnight. A desperate Henry obtains the Wish Realm's version of the Author's Pen in hopes of freeing them, but it turns out that Wish Rumple was after the pen all along, not the dagger. He then presents it to Wish Henry, who is more than willing to help him rewrite some stories after losing his mother and grandparents. He ends up erasing the Guardian's powers, and Wish Rumple then sends Henry, Weaver, and Rogers into the snowglobe. Roni is left behind, as Wish Henry desires revenge after their last encounter. Meanwhile, Tilly feels that her father is in danger, and Sabine helps her and Margot obtain a magic bean after regaining her confidence as queen of her people.

It's no secret that Houston Texan J.J. Watt has always had a crush on Jennifer Aniston. All you have to do is look at his Twitter feed: "Anybody who knows me knows my one lifetime crush has been Jennifer Aniston" reads a tweet from February 12, 2014. Now it looks like dreams do come true — even for NFL superstars. On Monday night, Watt met his lifetime crush, and he couldn't help exulting about it. He tweeted the photo above, with the caption, "I'm not even going to try to pretend like I acted cool when this happened. #LifeMade" We're guessing the duo met in Los Angeles, where Watt will appear on the ESPY Awards Wednesday night. The two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year is up for Best Male Athlete alongside Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), LeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers). He's also a nominee for Best NFL Player along with Tom Brady (New England Patriots), Antonio Brown (Pittsburgh Steelers), DeMarco Murray (Philadelphia Eagles) and Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers). But even if he doesn't take home the sports award, he's had quite an offseason, cavorting with tennis star Caroline Wozniacki in Paris, pretending to be a security guard for the Zac Brown Band, doing a dead-on impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger and flying in a private plane — which still excites Watt, even though he's a multimillionaire.

Trace Lysette, who plays yoga instructor Shea on the series, is the second accuser to allege misconduct by the show's star; Amazon says the new information "will be added to our ongoing investigation." In the second season of Transparent, the groundbreaking Amazon series that traces one father's journey to womanhood, Maura Pfefferman — played by Jeffrey Tambor, in a role that has won him two Emmys — struggles to find the right inflection for the popular queer catchphrase, "Yas queen." Her teacher is Shea — played by Trace Lysette — a yoga teacher and sometimes stripper, who steps in to show her fellow transgender, a newbie, the ropes. The moment, which went viral shortly after the season debuted in November 2015, plays out as sweet, hilarious and authentic. But Lysette now says the circumstances around its filming were anything but. According to Lysette, when she emerged from wardrobe in her costume — a salmon-colored lingerie top and matching short-shorts — Tambor remarked, "My God, Trace. I want to attack you sexually." Alexandra Billings, the third actor in the scene, was present to hear the remark, she confirms. Both "laughed it off because it was so absurd," Lysette says. A few minutes later, while waiting for a camera setup between takes, Lysette was standing in a corner of the soundstage set. That's when she says Tambor, dressed as Maura, wearing a green satin kimono and gray wig, approached her. "He came in close, put his bare feet on top of mine so I could not move, leaned his body against me, and began quick, discreet thrust back and forth against my body. I felt his penis on my hip through his thin pajamas," Lysette says. Lysette pushed Tambor away and "rolled my eyes." Billings was not present for this alleged incident, and several crewmembers were nearby "but they were focused on their jobs. It was discreet. If you were behind Jeffrey you might have thought he was giving me a hug." The actress, who is transgender, is the second on the Transparent payroll to come forward with allegations that Tambor, 73, has subjected them to sexual harassment, sexual assault and generally abusive behavior on the set of the critically adored series. The first accuser, Van Barnes, is a trans woman who worked as Tambor's personal assistant, and whose allegations have led to an internal investigation by Amazon Studios. She has previously appeared on E!'s I Am Cait. According to Barnes' lawyer Alana Chazan, her client signed a nondisclosure agreement while working for Tambor and therefore could not comment on Lysette's claims. Nor would Barnes detail what workplace abuses she allegedly suffered at Tambor's hands — accusations which were made in a private Facebook post that had leaked and circulated within Hollywood transgender circles. A copy of that Facebook post was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. In it, Barnes, without directly naming Tambor, vents about an employer who made comments like "I should be sleeping with him if I want a Hollywood industry appropriate pay grade" and "it wouldn't take long, he pops quick." She says the employer subjected her to "butt pats," pornography played at loud volumes, and complaints that she "was useless, could do nothing right." "Despite having made no public statements to date, the disclosure of Van Barnes' identity by the press has already led to Ms. Barnes receiving numerous threats and harassment online," Chazan says. "Ms. Barnes is cooperating with the investigation being conducted by Amazon and will not be making a statement while the investigation is pending." Lysette shared a house with Barnes while Barnes worked as Tambor's assistant. "She would pick him up in the morning and bring him home at night and everything in between," Lysette recalls. "She would come home wrecked and stressed. I saw him break her down. She for the most part kept it to herself. She was just like, 'Girl, he is a piece of work. If you only knew what I’m going through.' But I knew." For Lysette, an acting neophyte who came to Hollywood directly from New York City, where she worked as a dancer, Tambor's attentions began early and innocently enough. She describes a moment in her first season on the show, a scene set in a yoga studio, when she had trouble finding her mark. "Jeffrey stepped in and said, 'Come on, that’s hard. I couldn’t even do that.' And then he and the [director of photography] had a little back and forth. He was sticking up for me." When the exchange was over, Tambor approached Lysette and "kissed me on the forehead and was like, 'Are you good?' I said, 'Yeah, I’m fine.' It started with things like that. Telling me I looked great, things like that." As Lysette began to step into the spotlight and enjoy her first tastes of fame, she recalls running into Tambor at red carpet events, where she "would go to hug him and kiss him on the cheek — and it would land on my lips. And I was like, 'OK. What was that about?'" She says it wasn't until the filming of the "yas queen" scene and the alleged physical assault that she was certain she was being targeted and sexually harassed by Tambor. From that moment on, she says life on the set with the actor "has been a roller coaster. One minute Jeffrey is lovely, the next it's a temper tantrum or flirtation." Lysette describes another moment "that sticks in my brain" from later in production of season two: Tambor had set up a meeting between Lysette and his manager for potential representation. Lysette thanked Tambor for the gesture, she says, "and he said, 'Well, yeah Trace. I really believe in you. And you know what? I don't even want to have sex with you.' And then he just looked at me as if he very much indeed wanted to have sex with me. It was an up-and-down look. I rolled my eyes and went to my trailer and thought, 'This man is something else.'" Both Lysette and Barnes say they approached Transparent producers with their complaints about Tambor, but no action was taken. Tambor issued this statement to THR in response to Lysette's allegations: For the past four years, I’ve had the huge privilege — and huge responsibility — of playing Maura Pfefferman, a transgender woman, in a show that I know has had an enormous, positive impact on a community that has been too long dismissed and misunderstood. Now I find myself accused of behavior that any civilized person would condemn unreservedly. I know I haven’t always been the easiest person to work with. I can be volatile and ill-tempered, and too often I express my opinions harshly and without tact. But I have never been a predator — ever. I am deeply sorry if any action of mine was ever misinterpreted by anyone as being sexually aggressive or if I ever offended or hurt anyone. But the fact is, for all my flaws, I am not a predator and the idea that someone might see me in that way is more distressing than I can express. An Amazon spokesperson says, "This information will be added to our ongoing conversation." Lysette issued this statement to THR: Last week, it was reported in the media that Van Barnes, who previously worked as Jeffrey Tambor's assistant while shooting Transparent, had privately spoken out on her social media about her experiences of abuse. Sadly, I must add my voice to the chorus. Jeffrey has acted inappropriate to me too. Jeffrey has made many sexual advances and comments at me, but one time it got physical. One day on set during Season 2, Jeffrey, Alexandra Billings and I were all outfitted in pajamas. I was in a flimsy top and matching short shorts. Upon seeing my in my costume, Jeffrey sexualized me with an over the top comment. Alexandra and I laughed it off because it was so absurd and we thought surely it had to be a bad joke. I shook it off. Then later, in between takes, I stood in a corner on the set as the crew reset for a wide shot. My back was against the wall in a corner as Jeffrey approached me. He came in close, put his bare feet on top of mine so I could not move, leaned his body against me, and began quick, discreet thrusts back and forth against my body. I felt his penis on my hip through his thin pajamas and I pushed him off of me. Again, I laughed it off and rolled my eyes. I had a job to do and I had to do it with Jeffrey, the lead of our show. When they called action, I put that moment in the corner into its own corner of my mind. Compartmentalizing has always been part of my survival took kit, long before I came to Hollywood. It's shitty to admit out loud — and I don't say it to justify what I went through — but given the journey and circumstances of my life, I was used to being treated as a sexual object by men — this one just happened to be famous. Despite multiple uncomfortable experiences with Jeffrey, it has been an incredible, career-solidifying honor to bring life to my character Shea on Amazon's Transparent. Working on the award-winning series as a low-income trans woman with active roots in New York's ball culture is a rare opportunity most of my sisters are not given. My hope is that Amazon can find the good in this, and use this as an opportunity, a teachable moment to re-center the other trans characters in this show with the family members instead of just pulling it. Let our brilliant writers continue to craft something that is entertaining and creates a social change the way they know how. Don't let the trans community suffer for the actions of one cis male actor. Transparent has been a guiding light in the industry, by employing more trans people in Hollywood than any other production in history, which made it even more difficult to speak out. As trans-women and survivors we have often felt we never had the power of the voice to speak out on our personal and collective pain. I am so proud of my work on Transparent and its "trans-affirmative action" mission, as coined by its creator Jill Soloway. And I call on Amazon to make another bold affirmative move to our communities: Remove the problem and let the show go on. It's vital that the show's creator, showrunner and its studio re-center the narrative of Transparent on the experiences of the other trans characters and family members audiences have grown to love on the series.

And now, sources say #JELENA could be expecting their first baby. Friends of the loved-up duo tell this week’s Life & Style magazine that, following Selena’s recent health scare, (the singer underwent a kidney transplant earlier this year) they’re looking to get married and start as family as soon as possible. Life & Style Justin and Selena – who have dated on and off since 2009 - have apparently “discussed eloping,” according to a source. “But now she wants a big wedding – the bigger the better.

If you were one of those kids that asked for a pony every birthday of your childhood, only to find yourself receiving last season’s Barbie doll and a McDonald’s McFlurry, you might want to look away now. To celebrate Harper Beckham’s birthday, David and Victoria have reportedly splashed the cash and bought her a £7,000 pedigree pony. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below A soure reportedly told the Sun: ‘A few months ago, David and Victoria bought Harper some riding lessons and she fell in love with the sport. ‘She’s horse-mad and has spent the past few weeks badgering her parents for a pony of her own.’ The youngster - who turns seven today - has also reportedly received riding gear from Colne Saddlery in Cheltenham. 'Obviously, a horse is a massive commitment, and David and Victoria have impressed upon her how important it is that she cares for it herself and gets stuck into the mucking out. They then visited a saddlery last month and got her all the accessories,' the source added. ‘The pony is an extravagant gift but Harper is aware of just how lucky she is.’ Harper loves her daddy 💕💕💕 A post shared by Victoria Beckham (@victoriabeckham) on Jul 2, 2018 at 11:56pm PDT Harper’s new 'present' will settle in right at home in the family’s new country home in the Cotswolds where they have their own stables. Earlier today, Victoria posted a sweet birthday message to her daughter on Instagram with the caption: ‘Happy Birthday baby girl x We love u so so much x so many kisses!!!’ The proud mother - who also shares sons Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo wit her husband of 19 years - also took to Instagram Stories to share videos of inflatable unicorn and heart decorations for Harper’s big day.

Honestly, my nipple came out of my bikini and he tried to fix it for me and it looks like he's grabbing my boob, she told Complex. "That's very nice of you to actually not sit there and stare at my nipple because my boobs are big — they come out of my shirt all the time! You can't keep those suckers down."

She had visited the property three times in a week. A Justin Bieber fan has been arrested at his Los Angeles home after visiting the property for the third time in the space of a week. The unnamed woman, 40, was reportedly apprehended by the Los Angeles Police Department at the singer’s Beverly Hills home after she visited with the intention of going looking for him. According to TMZ, Bieber’s security team detained the woman until police arrived and booked her for trespassing. Bieber is believed to have been at home during the incident but he did not meet the woman. The latest break-in attempt comes after fans were caught trespassing on two separate occasions previously. In 2015, two fans were seen attempting to gain access as one celebrated her 12th birthday, filming their efforts on their mobile phones. Only a year previously, a fan had gained access to his rented mansion in Atlanta, Georgia, and was found sleeping in one of the bedrooms within the home. At the time of the incident, Bieber was on holiday with his father Jeremy. More recently, Bieber risked the ire of his fans after unveiling an extensive new tattoo that covers the majority of his torso. The pop star’s new ink was revealed on Instagram, with Bieber posting a video and photo of the new piece to his fans. A post shared by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) on Oct 21, 2017 at 7:34am PDT The elaborate piece features a wide range of gothic imagery, including skeletons, gargoyles, arches and more, but has received a decidedly mixed reaction from his fans. One commenter wrote: “Please Justin thats too much. We love you so much but thats too much. I’m sorry…” Another posted: “Justin, I love you so much. I know, that’s ur body but can we, your belieber, ask you to stop having tattoo? Thats too much. Love you”

Curry first indicated back in June, that if the Golden State Warriors were invited to meet with the president as the 2016-2017 NBA champions, he wouldn’t go. He reiterated that stance on Friday, revealing that he planned to cast a “no” vote when the team takes a poll on whether to make the trip. He explained to reporters at the Warriors’ Media Day, “The things that he’s said and the things that he hasn’t said at the right times… we won’t stand for it. By acting and not going, hopefully that will inspire some change when it comes to what we tolerate in this country, what is accepted and what we turn a blind eye toward.” The tweet made “Stephen Curry” a trending topic on Twitter, and actually prompted rival LeBron James to tweet, “U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!” Andy Cohen replied “HAHAHAHHA AMEN,” while Chrissy Teigen laughed over the “U bum” line. Cohen also pointed out, “HOUSEWIVES PLAYBOOK: rescind invitations liberally! (See: Bethenny re LuAnn, Mexico; Bethenny & Ramona, Mexico.)” Seth Meyers also quipped about Trump, “Somebody’s got their laid back weekend vibe working!” “Perhaps it’s not a great honor while your stench is there,” slammed John Legend. Don Cheadle sarcastically replied to Trump, “I’m sure he’s crushed.” Jeffrey Wright praised, “Well done @StephenCurry30.” Joked Trevor Noah, “‘You’re not breaking up with me, I’m breaking up with you!'” George Takei said to he president, “And just when you thought he couldn’t get any more petty…” Ava DuVernay also wrote to him, “Man, nobody with any sense or self-respect considers it an honor to be within a 10 mile radius of you. It is known.” Karrueche Tran exclaimed, “HE WAS NEVER GOING IDIOT! PUERTO RICO IS WITHOUT POWER!! PUERTO RICO IS A PART OF THE US. YOU DO KNOW THAT RIGHT?!!” Jesse Tyler Ferguson noted, “It’s an honor when the president is honorable.” And Jemele Hill, who earned Trump’s ire on Twitter earlier this month for calling the president a white supremacist, tweeting with a laughing emoji, “Hey @StephenCurry30, welcome to the club bro.” Meanwhile, Curry’s wife, Ayesha, shared an eye-roll emoji in response to the president’s tweet, and wrote, "Okay… Donate to earthquake relief here!!!” She included a link to UNICEF. The tweet against Curry came as stars were already ripping Trump for saying NFL players who kneel during the National Anthem should be fired.

Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Kardashian appeared to get along great during an appearance on TV, but the Academy Award-winner still isn’t entirely sure if Kim would consider her as a friend. The 27-year-old actress claims she has been a fan of the reality series, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, for a long time. Reportedly, before their appearance together on Jimmy Kimmel Live back in November of 2017, Jen hung out at the Kardashian family home with Kris Jenner and the rest of the clan. During a speaking event at The Wing, Lawrence said she “doesn’t know” if the reality star would consider her an ally. Lawrence joked it would probably be a “one-sided friendship.” #jenniferlawrence A post shared by Jennifer Lawrence (@jenniferlawrencepx) on Feb 23, 2018 at 1:35pm PST Lawrence said she wanted to gather as much information as possible before interviewing Kim on Jimmy’s show and so she sat down and had dinner with the entire family. J-Law had words of praise for the reality star’s presence which she claimed was “grounded,” “smart,” “normal,” and “funny.” She said they were all “absolutely lovely” to her. During Kim’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live where Lawrence guest-hosted, the Kardashian sister, and the actress revealed they both got drunk during the dinner. Lawrence said she remembers getting wasted and naked before demanding Kim to “dress her.” Kim claims Jen wanted West to “style” her and ended up getting completely naked. Advertisement Kim said she realized it wouldn’t be a good idea for her husband to come up. Instead, Kim gave her one of her mother’s dresses to wear which she wore throughout the whole dinner.

Three months after first revealing the story of her daughter India’s involvement with the group NXIVM, Dynasty star Catherine Oxenberg has decided to write a book to share her story with the hope it can also help others. Her memoir, CAPTIVE: A Mother’s Crusade to Save Her Daughter From a Terrifying Cult, cowritten by PEOPLE contributor Natasha Stoynoff, will be released in Fall and will recount Catherine’s estrangement from her 26-year-old daughter, India, and her attempt to rescue her from what she believes is a dangerous group. “I was completely ignorant about these sorts of the dangers and traps associated with these so-called personal growth self help groups. It’s an $11 billion, completely unregulated industry, so I reached out to a lot of experts for guidance,” Catherine tells PEOPLE. “What I learned along the way could help others [and] prevent them from falling into the same trap, know what warning signs to look for, and also to give hope to those parents that are struggling and who have lost children to similar situations. “So many people reached out to me when I went public saying, ‘Oh my God, I’m in the same situation. I’m heartbroken, I’ve lost my child. I don’t know what to do,” she adds. Allison Michael Orenstein India was 20 years old when she and her mother attended a meeting as part of a leadership seminar organized by NXIVM in 2011. While the meeting was supposed to provide methods for self-improvement, Catherine told PEOPLE she found the organization “weird and creepy.” India didn’t have the same hesitations and immersed herself in the organization over the next few years. NXIVM has been around for 20 years, with approximately 16,000 people paying thousands of dollars for experiences like executive-coaching workshops. Run by Keith Raniere, 57, who is known as “Vanguard” to members, NXIVM has offices throughout the country and in Mexico. Catherine and daughter India Wenn/Alamy “The mission of NXIVM is to help transform and, ultimately, be an expression of the noble civilization of humans,” the organization states on their website. Not only do former followers dispute this claim, many have shared horror stories of allegedly having their skin branded with Rainere’s initials and describe the group as a “cult.” Last April, Catherine claims she learned her daughter was also in potential danger. Her friend, Bonnie Piesse, 34, had left the group and warned Catherine that India was taking part in what Catherine calls a “secret sisterhood.” “You need to save your daughter,” Piesse told her, according to Catherine. “You need to save India.” In December, the New York Times reported that Justice Department has opened an investigation into NXIVM. Catherine and young daughter India Ron Galella/WireImage But that doesn’t ease Catherine’s immediate concerns for her daughter. Catherine previously told PEOPLE that she learned India was on a restrictive diet, suffered hair loss, and hadn’t had her period in a year. Now she says she’s told that India is eating more because “they’re trying to look more normal,” but says she’s still worried. After Catherine decided to go public with her allegations in October, India became angry and further withdrew from her. Catherine tells PEOPLE that India was recently in Los Angeles, but wasn’t willing to see her. “She was in L.A. and I was hoping that was a good sign, and I was very distressed when she flew back [to NXIVM’s headquarters Albany],” Catherine says. “Even is she’s not willing to see me, the fact that she’s outside of their sphere of influence physically gave me hope.” “I’m assuming they kept her on a tight leash so that they still had a lot of influence over her,” she says. “Because if she [leaves the group], that’s a tremendous blow to [NXIVM] considering she’s been such a public figure for them. I think that that could be the death blow and I think they’re doing everything they can to keep her in.” As India becomes more entangled in the controversial group, Catherine is writing the memoir in another attempt to save India. CAPTIVE will reveal the steps Catherine has taken to extract her daughter from what she considers a “dangerous, mind-controlling cult” in which she claims the women are treated like “slaves.” She also draws on interviews from former members and cult experts. “I’ve grown as a person through this experience [and] I’ve become more inclusive,” Catherine says. “It’s no longer just about my daughter. It’s about helping everybody who has suffered through this.”

Gwen Stefani’s Las Vegas residency began late last month, but it looks like her Just A Girl show is a bomb. Stefani is performing at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood – which has 4,600 seats – but her concerts aren’t even close to selling out. For her next show later this week, there are still 1,200 seats (26 percent) available. “She can’t sell tickets,” says an insider. “There are literally thousands of seats still available this month!” Radar Online is reporting that the remaining four July dates all have at least 1100 empty seats, and this failure has “devastated” Stefani. Thank u for coming to Vegas gx A post shared by Gwen Stefani (@gwenstefani) on Jul 14, 2018 at 1:52pm PDT The next round of shows will be from December 27th to the 31st, but sales aren’t any better. According to Ticketmaster, there are over 1,300 seats available for the December 30th concert, which is her worst night of sales. Since there are still so many seats available for multiple shows, discount sites like GoodSeatTickets.com have slashed prices up to 75 percent. The show runs through Mid-March of next year, but if it turns out to be a bust, sources say she can always go back to The Voice. “She always has The Voice. Gwen knows that she is welcomed back to the show anytime she wants,” says the source. “She is already in talks to rejoin the show after next season.” But no matter if the show is a success or a failure, Stefani’s boyfriend Blake Shelton continues to support her. He even recently joked on Twitter earlier this week about his perfect attendance record to Stefani’s shows. He wrote that Stefani had performed three Las Vegas shows so far, and he has been to all three. Then he added the hashtag #stalker. The 48-year-old Hollaback Girl singer seems to be okay with her boyfriend’s stalker behavior, and just last week she shared photos of the two sharing a kiss on the lips. Shelton walked the red carpet with Stefani on the opening night of her show on June 27th, and the crowd that night gave him a standing ovation when he walked into the theater. Stefani’s Just A Girl show features the biggest hits from her solo career as well as her time with No Doubt, and, she also included her romance with Shelton. While singing Make Me Like You – a song she says is about Shelton – she wears a cowgirl outfit. Advertisement On the first night of the residency, Gwen Stefani told the crowd that it is a fantasy come true to wear a cowgirl costume in front of Blake Shelton.

Get the latest from TODAY Sign up for our newsletter / Source: TODAY By Aliyah Frumin Mandy Moore is as confident as ever — and she says a large part of it is due to overcoming the struggles of divorce. The 33-year-old actress opened up about her 2015 split from husband Ryan Adams, in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan. Moore noted she’s developed a thick skin due to a “combination of getting older and wiser and going through the hard knocks of divorce. You realize, I’m not going to take anyone’s sh--.” Frederick M. Brown / Getty Images Moore, who is now engaged to musician Taylor Goldsmith, added, “It emboldened me. There is power in saying no and in asking for what you deserve. There is power in knowing your value.” And although her NBC show, “This Is Us,” is a now roaring success, there were many bumps along the way in her professional life as well, including three failed pilot seasons. The cast of "This Is Us" during the 24th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on Jan. 21, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. Frazer Harrison / Getty Images "Before I got the part, I was making massive changes in my personal life and was looking to echo that in my work," she said. "I was waiting for something different that would allow me to dig deep. I knew I was capable, but I couldn't get any momentum, and I had just been crushed by three failed pilot seasons." During the interview, Moore also weighed in on the growing number of women who have been speaking up about systemic sexual harassment in Hollywood. “We’re having a real cultural reckoning — one that’s definitely past due,” Moore told the magazine. “Men have been using their positions of power to take advantage of women, and it’s so prevalent…I can only hope that what’s happening encourages more women [to speak out] and it serves to put women in more powerful positions across the spectrum.”

The death toll in one Ohio town continues to rise as 60 people were just found dead overnight and emergency crews can’t keep up with the calls that continue to pour in. President Trump had warned of what was coming to prevent these deaths and now it’s time to take urgent action as he’s announced in a shocking message to Americans.With all the focus recently being on Chicago and the immense amount of shooting deaths there are in that war zone every day, a bigger issue has presented itself just a couple states away in Ohio. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner has confirmed that 60 people died in February from the same alarming cause, which brings the total deaths from this to 109 this year for just this one small part of Ohio. However, the issue is widespread across the country and only getting worse, which is why Donald Trump wants to do something about it now.Fatal drug overdoses now surpass car deaths in America thanks to the increased use, availability, and abuse of heroin, fentanyl or a combination of the two that come into the country from wide open borders and unchecked immigrants. With each month comes a new record number of deaths from this drug not just in Ohio, but nationwide.“February’s number could increase because seven cases are still awaiting further toxicology testing. Of the fatalities last month, 36 were Cleveland residents,” Fox 8 reported. Trump is well aware of the opioid epidemic that claimed 52,000 lives in 2015, which was the most amount of overdoses in a single year in U.S. History. This is part of the reason he’s wanting to crack down so hard on the border.During his joint address to Congress on Tuesday, the President said that he will build “a great, great wall along our southern border” — in part to dramatically slow the flow of narcotics pouring into the U.S. at an “unprecedented rate.” “Our terrible drug epidemic will slow down and ultimately stop,” Trump promised in his speech, Vox reported. Although a wall won’t stop it completely, he’s the first to address the epidemic that’s gotten worse while it was ignored the last eight years.While Trump was criticized for his comment that the wall would stop the flow of drugs, it’s a step in the right direction and he’s at least ready to do something about it, whereas his predecessor was not. America does not need more of what comes in illegally over the border, whether it’s people, drugs, or both.Join America’s Patriots Media And Share This Article Now!Source: http://www.independent-reports.com

Lesley Murphy is ready for the next chapter. The Bachelor Winter Games star broke her silence following her split from Dean Unglert in a lengthy Instagram post on Sunday, April 8. “It’s a bit strange to feel the need to post about this, but I don’t think I can honestly resume my normal programming without giving you an explanation – and maybe that’s the wrong word, but I just wanted to thank y’all for the love and respect you’ve shown me over the past few days,” she wrote. “I spent 5 years away from Bachelor Nation as I lived abroad and traveled for work. I came back to Winter Games because I’ve seen this franchise work miracles before. Through The Bachelor and my journey around the world, I have made deep connections, true meaningful intimate relationships with many walks of life. I know it’s imperative to find someone who chooses us and acknowledges our many layers, who can be open and vulnerable, and most importantly, who is ready. To meet someone and be met. To be chosen and to choose. To love and to be loved. This is everything. All we need is that same energy reciprocated, and despite how open and loving you attempt to be, people can only meet you as deeply as they’ve met themselves.” Along with her message, Murphy shared a barefoot photo of herself in Vermont holding a cup of coffee and looking outside at a wintery mix. “Don’t be afraid to be the one that loved the most and give everything you had, because you’ve got to find people who love like you do and who are ready,” she continued. “Out with the old, in with the TRUE. It was a long winter, and I’m excited for a new season. Let the spring cleaning commence. I’m ready.” One day earlier, Unglert posted a cryptic message to his own personal account after it was reported that the pair had called it quits. “Growing up as a kid I had a crude but utopian idea of what love is. I always had this idea that no matter what you did, no matter how you act, as long as you’re true to yourself and act in good conscious, your path would lead you to the one person on this planet you’re meant to be with,” he wrote. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that although everyone DESERVES love, it’s not something we’re entitled to. Love takes work. Love is compromise. Love is earned. I still have a lot of work to do on myself, a lot to prove to myself, before I’m ready for something like that.” Murphy and Unglert began dating on the ABC series and the Bachelorette alum gave her a key to his place during the finale.

Liam James Payne (born 29 August 1993) is an English singer and songwriter. He rose to fame as a member of the boy band One Direction. Payne made his debut as a singer when he auditioned for the British television series The X Factor in 2008. After being eliminated as a solo performer, he auditioned again in 2010 and was put into a group with four other contestants to form One Direction.[3][4] The group has since released five albums, embarked on four world tours, and won several awards, becoming one of most successful musical groups of all time. Payne has worked with other producers under the monikers "Big Payno" and "Payno" creating remixes for songs by his band and singer Cheryl.[5] In 2016, Payne signed a recording deal with Republic Records in North America.[6] In May 2017, Payne released "Strip That Down" as the lead single from his upcoming debut album. It peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart and number ten on the US Billboard Hot 100, being certified platinum in both countries. Early life Payne was born in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. He is the son of Karen, a nursery nurse, and Geoff Payne, a fitter. He has two older sisters, Nicola and Ruth.[7] Payne was born three weeks early, getting ill frequently. Until the age of four, Payne had regular tests done in hospital as doctors noticed one of his kidneys was scarred and dysfunctional. To help cope with the pain, he had 32 injections in his arm in the morning and evening as a child.[8] As a student, Payne was heavily involved in sports, particularly cross country running. Payne originally joined the Wolverhampton and Bilston Athletics Club to pursue his running career.

Megyn Kelly is struggling to fill out her TODAY studio, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal! “First, she can’t get A-list guests and now she can’t get an audience!” an insider told Radar. “They are having such trouble getting an audience to her live show that they are now getting Megyn to ask viewers to visit Today.com/MegynToday for tickets — on her show!” the insider added. “She’s literally now giving live shout outs on air to try and get a studio audience.” “Rachel Ray and Kelly [Ripa] and Ryan [Seacrest] have a six month waiting list, and it’s almost impossible to get into Wendy Williams’ and Jimmy Fallon‘s audience,” the insider noted. “Yet at Megyn you can hear crickets.” PHOTOS: Top 10 Moments From Megyn Kelly’s Explosive Donald Trump Interview “When you can’t get 150 people to watch the show in the audience at 30 Rock, what chance do they have to get anyone to watch the show from home?” the insider added. “This is a disaster. Now it’s getting humiliating.” “Staffers are giving out tickets to the folks that stand outside the windows of Matt [Lauer] and Savannah [Guthrie]‘s show, but that isn’t enough,” the insider concluded. “They have been playing with removing seats and even playing with camera angles to that the studio looks much more full than it really is.” Radar exclusively reported that Kelly, 46, debuted on the TODAY show in September, and struggled to fill seats for her opening day.

Jen explains how she found it in her heart to forgive Brad and Angelina in a candid new interview in the December/January issue of ‘Harper’s Bazaar’, and her words are truly inspiring! Check it out. Jennifer Aniston, 45, has finally found happiness with fiance Justin Theroux, 43, but her road to true love was definitely bumpy! After enduring a very public and painful split from ex-husband Brad Pitt, 50, who allegedly cheated on her with his Mr & Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, 39, Jen has found a way to forgive the “unforgivable” and achieve inner peace. Here’s how she did it! Jennifer Aniston Forgives Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie For Cheating Jennifer opens up like never before to Harper’s Bazaar about her marriage to Brad, her future with Justin, and learning to forgive. I’m “a forgiving person,” she says. “I absolutely am. I think it’s extremely important to forgive. Otherwise it just builds up like toxic waste. There’s nothing worse than holding a grudge. Listen, people can do unforgivable things, but you have to let it go and say, ‘Look, we’re all human beings. We make mistakes.’ To hold any kind of resentment is like taking rat poison and waiting for the rat to die.” Wow, Jen is a true inspiration! She has clearly grown and learned so much since the demise of her marriage to Brad and we couldn’t be prouder of her. No wonder she was finally ready for the man of her dreams to come along! Jennifer Aniston: Brad Pitt’s Betrayal Prepared Her For Justin Theroux’s Love Of course, Jen ended up getting her fairytale ending too — with fiance Justin Thereox! And she says everything she went through with Brad actually helped prepare her for her new life with Justin. “[Taking time] really helped me get to a place where I was more comfortable with myself, truly ready for love and for a partner,” she explains. “The past wasn’t ‘less than.’ It was extremely important to my growth as a woman. But if you take the law of attraction, if you only love yourself 70 percent, that’s what’s going to come back to you. So you fill up that 30 percent, then all of a sudden there’s this pure, good love standing right in front of you. Then you realize, ‘Oh, this can be easy! It doesn’t have to be so hard.'” Now Jen couldn’t be happier with Justin. “He’s one of the most humble, decent human beings. He’s not an a**,” she says.
