Is Taylor Swift planning to drop two albums at once? While The Tortured Poets Department is bad news for Joe Alwyn, it’s good news for her untold millions of fans. But will hearing Taylor’s new album be the only exciting development before she returns to her Eras World Tour? Fans believe that Taylor has a surprise for them. And some hardcore Swifties believe that Taylor is preparing a second, surprise album to drop alongside The Tortured Poets Department. Taylor Swift attends the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 04, 2024. (Photo Credit: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ has a Friday, April 19 release date Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album has plenty of anticipation of its own. Between her once-surprising romance with football player Travis Kelce and her Eras World Tour making her into a billionaire, 2023 was a huge year for her. 2024 might be even huger. Taylor has been leaving a trail of clues (as is her habit) for diehard Swifties to follow. This means that her most devoted fans have spent the weeks, days, and hours leading up to her album release conjuring up theories about what Taylor has in store for everyone.

(Photo Credit: DAVID GRAY/AFP via Getty Images) TikTok denizen and self-described “obsessed” Swiftie Emerson (@swiftlyobsessed) shared a theory on Monday, April 15. The theory, posted to TikTok where information and disinformation both spread like wildfire, suggested that The Tortured Poets Department will actually be part of a “double-album drop” with another LP. It all comes down to a QR code teaser as part of a mural on Chicago’s River North District that same night. Taylor Swift gave you all of the clues The “ttpd13” QR code led to a 13-second clip on Swift’s YouTube page, which in turn shows a typewriter with “Error 321” and a very faint “13.” This might not be The Da Vinci Code, but it’s an exciting teaser for fans who spent the previous two months counting down the minutes for the album’s release. “Error 321” is what Taylor’s (seemingly crashed) site read hours before the Grammy Awards where she announced her new album. Of course, it also included the jumbled phrase “red herring,” which very reasonably leads people to suggest that this is misleading.

(Photo Credit: Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images) As for what fans imagine that the bonus LP might be, Emerson suggests that Taylor might be releasing a re-recording of Reputation, her sixth studio album. The underrated 2017 album still carries the taint of controversial record producer Scooter Braun. Taylor has produced a number of “Taylor’s Versions,” so many it’s a bit of a meme. Perhaps it’s already time for Reputation (Taylor’s Version) to launch? Taylor Swift performs on stage during a concert as part of her Eras World Tour in Sydney on February 23, 2024. (Photo Credit: DAVID GRAY/AFP via Getty Images) Is Taylor Swift really dropping TWO albums? As numerous social media commenters — on TikTok and on other, better platforms — pointed out, she’s unlikely to steal limelight from her own album. The Tortured Poets Department will certainly get its time in the sun. However, some fans suggested that she might announce that Reputation (Taylor’s Version) or some other, similarly exciting project is coming out. Taylor announced this album at an awards show, so she doesn’t mind announcements at important events. An announcement by itself won’t steal the thunder from her album release.

It may seem hard to believe, based on how contentious things have been for many years now between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, but… … they may soon get even uglier. In court documents that only recently made their way around the Internet, Jolie accused Pitt back in the day of acting in an abusive manner. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at the AFI FEST 2015 presented by Audi opening night gala premiere of Universal Pictures’ “By The Sea” at the Chinese Theatre on November 5, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. (Getty) As you may recall, there was an alleged incident on a private plane in September of 2016 during which Jolie has claimed Pitt choked the former couple’s son, Maddox. A very short time later, Jolie filed for divorce. According to the aforementioned documents, however, this was merely the first time Pitt’s alcoholism and affiliated rage had extended all the way to the pair’s children. In this new filing, Jolie says that Pitt’s physical abuse “started well before” the 2016 flight, only it was aimed squarely in her sole direction prior to that fateful flight.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) The documents were filed as part of Jolie and Pitt’s ongoing struggle over Chateau Miraval French winery. Jolie’s team is working to release communication to prove that Pitt demanded that Jolie sign an “onerous” and “expansive” NDA before he would allow her to sell her portion of the winery. Now, meanwhile, In Touch Weekly reports that Jolie has actual recordings of incidents in which Pitt abused her. She may very well release them, or at least threaten to do so, in order to finalize the sale of the winery each currently owns a share of. Angelina Jolie Pitt and Brad Pitt attend the WSJ. Magazine 2015 Innovator Awards at the Museum of Modern Art on November 4, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for WSJ. Magazine 2015 Innovator Awards) “Angelina secretly recorded Brad many times throughout their marriage and has made it clear to him that she’s willing to use them to get back at him,” claims an In Touch source, noting that Jolie will sometimes leak stories to the press when she feels things aren’t going her way in their never-ending court battle. Or when Pitt appears to be connecting with their kids. The stars share Maddox, 22, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 17, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 15. Pitt reportedly thinks such a tactic will backfire on his ex-wife, with this insider stating the actor believes equal or even more “damage” will be done to Jolie’s reputation if the tapes get out.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for AFI) Pitt, who has denied choking his son, thinks Jolie is “Hell bent on destroying him,” this same report states. To be clear, however, amid almost every single thing you read about the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt divorce, custody battle and various legal disagreements? Neither side has said a word in public himself or herself. Just something to keep in mind. Angelina Jolie: I Have Recordings of Brad Pitt Abuse! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Mama June Shannon is hopping aboard the Ozempic train. Mama June: Family Crisis has more than earned its title. Between June’s downward spiral, the tragic passing of Anna Cardwell, and the recent tensions between June and Alana, this is a family in turmoil. But there was a time when this was Mama June: From Not to Hot. It was a makeover show, documenting June’s surgical weight loss. June has since regained more than 100 pounds. And now she’s trying something new, inviting followers to join her on her “semaglutide journey.” On an April 2024 episode of Mama June: Family Crisis, June Shannon speaks to the confessional camera. (Image Credit: WEtv) Mama June Shannon is using Ozempic or Wegovy The WEtv star took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 16 to share a video in which she received a semaglutide dose. Ozempic and Wegovy are the brand names for semaglutide injections. This diabetes medicine has, in recent years, taken on the controversial use of luxury weight loss. “Come along with me as I go through this journey,” June invited in her Instagram caption alongside the video. On April 16, 2024, Mama June Shannon shared an Instagram post about taking semaglutide diabetes medications for weight loss. (Image Credit: Instagram) “I know a lot of y’all are on similar journeys,” June suggested. Some of her followers hope to receive insights into weight loss methods based upon June’s experiences. “So let’s do it together.” She wrote: “Tell me what your experiences are pros and cons and everything.” June told her followers: “I will be updating every week how things are going as I know I’m not the only person that has struggled since having a bariatric surgery.” June Shannon talks to the camera here and discussed her dramatic weight loss in this photo from her reality show. (Image Credit: WEtv) Mama June’s weight loss journey has had its ups and downs, and began many years before she turned to this polarizing medication for answers. In 2015, she weighed about 550 pounds. As Mama June: From Not to Hot documented for WEtv viewers, June underwent gastric sleeve surgery. This invasive procedure physically restricted the size of her stomach, forcing her into a dramatic caloric deficit. June dropped to 311 pounds. Over time, she dropped all of the way to 130 pounds. Diet and exercise continued to play a role … which is how June’s worsening health, her drug-fueled downward spiral, and her body’s natural attempt to store energy eventually led to her regaining a lot of weight. On Mama June: Family Crisis, the titular June Shannon speaks to the confessional camera. (Image Credit: WEtv) Mama June has regained a portion of her weight According to June, Anna Cardwell’s cancer battle and deterioration was a major stresser that contributed to her weight gain. June described regaining 130 pounds. That is a lot of weight on her very short frame, and she aimed to change that. When traditional weight loss methods did not work, she turned to semaglutide injections. To her credit, June doesn’t seem to be trying to push this controversial medication on everyone. She is recommending the doctor who’s filling her prescriptions, however. Use of semaglutides like Ozempic is extremely controversial, in part because of unknown long-term effects on non-diabetes patients. Primarily, however, it’s because the use for luxury weight loss has led to documented shortages of this medication for those who actually need it. At the same time, we can be grateful that the stress and grief if the past year have not led to Mama June backsliding in other ways. Better Ozempic than another expensive drug-fueled crisis. Everyone deserves to have the body that they desire. That’s not always feasible in practice, however. Only time will tell if June will meet her body goals.

In the end, it’s gonna drape over.” But that’s not all! Christine also included planter boxes as part of the design of the memorial. “I was telling David [about] the planter boxes that Garrison built for [her daughter] Truely and he was like, ‘That’s what we need in our backyard,’ so he built them,” Christine revealed. Christine Brown and David Woolley look so cute in this photo from Sister Wives. (TLC) The Sister Wives Family After Garrison’s Passing The 25-year old son of Janelle and Kody Brown died back on March 4 of a self-inflicted gunshot, rocking the reality television world in general, but most especially, his rather large family. Fans glimpsed photos from Garrison’s memorial service, witnessing for the first time his mother and various relatives bawling over the loss. Everyone from his siblings to his other surrogate mother, Meri Brown, have posted tributes after his passing. As of now, his father Kody Brown has not made an individual statement apart from the annonucement he made jointly with Janelle. His newest wife, Robyn, has also not spoken out specifically about Garrison’s death. We all grieve in our own ways.

Orlando Bloom is opening up about the accident that nearly left him paralyzed when he was a teenager. In his new Peacock show, Orlando Bloom: To the Edge, Katy Perry’s beloved husband attempts some of the must daring acts imaginable. We’re talking wing-suiting thousands of feet above the ground, diving into the deepest depths of the ocean and rock climbing hundreds of feet. But all of this would’ve been impossible almost 3 decades ago, when an accident left Orlando in such condition, it was feared he’d never walk ago. Orlando Bloom shares never before seen photos of his accident at 19 in his new Peacock show. (Peacock/Youtube) Orlando Bloom’s Accident: What Happened When He Was 19? “I felt as close to death as I could possibly get.” Those are the words of Orlando, as he introduced his new adventure series to fans with the first promo. In the first look of Orlando Bloom: To the Edge, the fame Pirates of the Caribbean star shows fans what to come of the 3-episode docuseries. Orlando soars in the sky, swims to the murky deeps, and even finds himself scaling a massive rock formation he is warned “1000% do not fall territory.” But why do all of this? Well, for one thing, Orlando is a self-proclaimed adrenaline junkie. Yet, perhaps more importantly, it’s the fact that he can that he does, because when he was 19, there was a real fear he wouldn’t ever walk again. Orlando first shared the story in 2022, as part of Unicef’s World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10. In a video message, he explained that he broke his back after falling three floors from a window. With his spinal cord “just intact” the doctors gave him a grim diagnosis. “I was told for the first four days that I may never walk again,” he said in the Instagram video. ‘LOTR’ star Orlando Bloom attends the UNICEF At 75 Celebration at NeueHouse Los Angeles in 2021. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images) Orlando’s “Painful Journey” Back To Himself The show, which airs on Peacock starting on April 18th, discusses Orlando’s injury, as well as how his recovery time motivated him to keep going. “That was really the beginning of what was a long and painful journey for me,” he added in his video for Unicef, “into recognizing and understanding some of the patterns that had been in my life that had led me to having numerous accidents. And the culmination was breaking my back, which was a near-death experience.” Orlando confesses that his recovery was “really remarkable and unheard of.” Just 12 days after having surgery on his back, he was able to walk out of the hospital on crutches. Of course, that was after nearly two weeks of wearing a brace and physical therapy Still, the point is, he walked away. Katy Perry and husband Orlando Bloom attend the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony on April 13, 2024. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) His New Show & What Fans Can Expect “While I was at moments scared for my life during the show, having come out the other end of it I feel way more capable,” Orlando told The Associated Press ahead of the show debut. That’s an understatement. In attempting all three ridiculously dangerous sports – wingdiving, rock climbing, and freediving – Orlando trained for weeks, where as other train for years. In one particular moment, his wife Katy Perry watches on during his first flight in a wingsuit. Usually, jumpers need 200 leaps with an instructor before going solo; Orlando does it after two weeks. While he makes it to the ground safely to his wife’s arms and earns the nickname “wombat,” it’s frightening all the same to watch. Especially knowing just how well he knows the risk if something goes terribly wrong. “I’m very grateful for my life,” he says. “I’m even more grateful having survived ‘Orlando Bloom: To the Edge.’” Orlando Bloom Accident: His ‘Painful Journey’ Of Learning To Walk Again was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Remarks made by New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers regarding the HIV crisis of the 1980s are generating a tremendous amount of controversy this week. The controversial QB has long had a reputation for espousing bizarre and potentially harmful conspiracy theories. For example, Rodgers’ skepticism regarding Covid-19 vaccines made him a divisive figure among football fans during the pandemic. But the news that Rodgers may be a Sandy Hook truther earned him near-universal condemnation. Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets looks on prior to playing the Cleveland Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium on December 28, 2023 in Cleveland, Ohio. (Photo by Nick Cammett/Getty Images) Now, the 40-year-old NFL vet finds himself at the center of yet another unexpected controversy. Aaron Rodgers Shares Controversial Views on HIV Crisis In March, Rodgers appeared on the “Look Into It with Eddie Bravo” podcast in March, where he shared his belief that the HIV epidemic of the 1980s was engineered by the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with the assistance of the federal government. “The blueprint, the game plan, was made in the ’80s,” Rodgers said, according to Newsweek. “Create a pandemic, you know, with a virus that’s going wild, right?” he continued. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers poses with a jersey during an introductory press conference at Atlantic Health Jets Training Center on April 26, 2023 in Florham Park, New Jersey. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) “Only—he was given, Fauci was given over $350 million to research this, to come up with drugs, new or repurposed to handle the AIDS pandemic. And all they came up with AZ—was AZT.” Rodgers’ remarks went mostly unnoticed at the time, but they resurfaced on Twitter this week, and a clip of the quarterback sharing his views on Dr. Anthony Fauci has now been viewed more than 5 million times. “And if you do even a smidge of research — and I know, I’m not an epidemiologist, I’m not a doctor, I’m not an immunologist, whatever the f–k — I can read, though,” Rodgers said during the podcast. “And I can learn and look things up just like any normal person, you know. I can do my own research, which is so vilified, to even question authority,” he added. NFL Player Aaron Rodgers attends the NFL Honors at University of Minnesota on February 3, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images) “But that was the game plan back then: create an environment where only one thing works. Back then, AZT. Now? Remdesivir until we get a vaccine,” Remdesivir is a drug that has been shown to halt the progression of the Covid virus inside the body. From there, Rodgers alleged that Fauci had a “stake in the Moderna vaccine,” though he offered no evidence that the medical expert in any way benefitted financially from the vaccine. As Newsweek reports, social media users were quick to shut down Rodgers’ latest conspiracy theories.

(Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images) Rodgers Receives Criticism on Social Media “Can someone please take Aaron Rodgers home and make him stay inside until his head is fixed?” one person asked. “Just a reminder, Dr Fauci is a hero. Aaron Rodgers is a clown,” said another. “Aaron Rodgers is the worst type of idiot—the one who’s convinced he’s a genius,” a third user wrote. “Please keep Aaron Rodgers & his weird conspiracy theories off of my timeline. Dude has choked on one too many shrooms dipped in acid,” a fourth chimed in. Aaron Rodgers #8 of the New York Jets looks on from the sideline prior to the game against the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium on November 24, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images) But Rodgers also received support from many commenters who shared his views. “People are finally speaking out,” one person wrote. “In 3-5yrs everything Rodgers is saying will be considered fact and all the non-thinkers, unwilling to deviate from what TV tells them, will deny calling Rodgers a conspiracy theorist. I’ve seen this one before…” added another. Rodgers has yet to respond to the criticism of his remarks — but whether he likes it or not, it looks like the future hall-of-famer is at the center of another heated debate.

Have Matt Roloff & Caryn Chandler split up? With their long term relationship playing out onscreen on Little People, Big World for years, many viewers have become fans of the couple, despite their scandalous start. The 25th season of the show debuted in February 2024 and included a bombshell about their relationship. Have Matt and Caryn ended things? Let’s discuss what we know. Amy Roloff, Matt Roloff in season 25 of ‘Little People, Big World’ (TLC) ‘Little People, Big World’ Star Matt Roloff’s Love Life Has Been – Complicated “After 27 years of marriage, it is with great sadness that we have come to the difficult decision to file for divorce.” This was the start of a statement released on June 2015 by Matt and his then wife Amy Roloff when announcing their divorce. After two decades together, the couple called it quits. Fans of the show knew they never had an easy marriage. Still, the news came as a shock and everyone wanted to know the reason for the split. While nothing concrete has ever been confirmed, Matt started dating Caryn Chandler shortly after – or for a long time while he was still married. Depends on who you ask. Regardless, Caryn is the only woman that Matt has been with since his split from Amy. And now, he’s locking things down. Matt Roloff and his new fiancee, Caryn in season 25 of ‘Little People, Big World’. She’s hiding the ring! (TLC) Have Matt Roloff & Caryn Chandler Split? Far From It!

The photo’s caption read, “She said Yes! #LPBW couple Matt and Caryn are engaged.” Matt Roloff sits alongside Caryn Chandler for a confessional on Little People, Big World.

All signs indicated their commitment to each other long before there was a ring on her finger.

When they finally showed her the ring, it seemed like all was well. That’s when Caryn admitted she actually has, shall we call it, a fondness for Amy. “I’ve always liked Amy and I always think she’s funny and we kind of laugh at each other because we’re, you know, we’re roughly the same age and we’re both a little forgetful and maybe a little clumsy,” Caryn said in a confessional. But then she pointed out the biggest reason why they could get along. “For God’s sake, we’re both married to the same guy.” Have Matt Roloff & Caryn Chandler Split?

Will Beyonce do a Cowboy Carter tour? Even Mama Tina Knowles has an opinion. Beyonce’s Country album debuted at #1, crossing a major milestone for Black women and dropping some great music in the process. There was, however, some unsubtle backlash from people who claim that Queen Bey is an “outsider” who was “intruding” in the Country music scene. With the Renaissance World Tour still being so fresh, fans would understand if Beyonce opted out of another tour so soon. But many hope to hear “Jolene,” “Bodyguard,” and more in concert. Beyoncé attends the Luar fashion show during New York Fashion Week on February 13, 2024. (Photo Credit: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) ‘Cowboy Carter’ is a tremendous success Beyonce is one of the most successful performers of all time. She needs no introduction — or last name, even though she has two (Knowles-Carter). Fresh off of wrapping her historic Renaissance World Tour, she released Cowboy Carter — topping the charts and reminding everyone that the Houston-born music superstar doesn’t need to stick to just one genre. Is it too soon for Queen Bey to launch a new tour for her still-very-new album? Beyoncé accepts the Innovator Award onstage during the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on April 01, 2024. (Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) On April 16, Celestine “Tina” Knowles, Beyonce’s mother, attended the premiere of Zendaya’s highly-anticipated new film, Challengers. There, she spoke to Variety. She was quick to point out that Beyonce has done Country music before — individual songs, like “Daddy Lessons.” “She grew up in Texas and Louisiana,” Tina reminded everyone. “And that is a big influence.” Tina Knowles weighs in on Beyoncé's country roots and whether her daughter will go on tour. pic.twitter.com/onlRuwRdQj — Variety (@Variety) April 17, 2024 Will Beyonce go on a ‘Cowboy Carter’ tour? “You’ll have to ask her,” Tina told Variety pretty directly when the interviewer cheekily asked the question. Some fans eyed Tina’s expressions during the video and suspected that Beyonce has no touring plans. Others suggested that Tina is simply not at liberty to say, or does not know her daughter’s plans. Beyonce does love to drop a surprise. We should probably keep in mind that Cowboy Carter is the second in a planned trilogy of albums. The first, Renaissance, dropped in 2022. Beyonce of course toured for that album. That could set a precedent for her Cowboy Carter plans. Cowboy Carter is a concept album. Her goal was to explore the reinvention of Americana and to spotlight (deliberately) overlooked Black innovators and creatives in the realm of music and culture. Tina Knowles and Beyoncé attend the Luar fashion show during New York Fashion Week on February 13, 2024. (Photo Credit: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) A ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour would be welcome news But only Beyonce knows whether she will take that step. Touring is extremely lucrative — in 2023, the Eras World Tour made Taylor Swift a billionaire. She is the first to claim that title solely through music sales and not through other businesses. Queen Bey and Jay-Z have a combined net worth of billions (plural). While she doesn’t need to make more money, it’s always nice to have more. That’s not why Beyonce does this, though. She does it for the art, for the culture, and for her fans. We wouldn’t expect tour dates right around the corner, but optimistic fans hope to hear tour news by late this year if not earlier.

The Real Housewives of New York City has made a fashionable casting decision. And we mean this quite literally. On Tuesday, multiple entertainment news sources confirmed that Rebecca Minkoff has been filming scenes for Season 15 of this beloved Bravo franchise. The role remains “unspecified” at the moment, according to Deadline, meaning we can’t verify at the moment whether Minkoff will be a full-time cast member or merely a Friend. Rebecca Minkoff attends the GC4W Entrepreneurship Ball at The Harvard Club on March 1, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for GC4W Entrepreneurship Ball) Minkoff is a very well-known and respected designer. She and her brother are the co-founders of the Rebecca Minkoff brand, which specializes in luxury handbags, accessories, and apparel. In September 2018, she established the Female Founder Collective, a network of women-led businesses that invests in women’s financial power and empowers female-owned businesses. Minkoff is no stranger to Bravo, either. She previously served as a guest judge on Project Runway, while other reality TV appearances include E!’s So Cosmo and as one of the investors in Lifetime’s Project Runway: Fashion Startup.

The cable network recently announced that Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield will all return for the new season. This isn’t surprising, considering the uptick in ratings for Season 14. The July 2023 premiere, for example, marked the most-watched episode of the series in three years.

She has even credited Jenna Elfman — an outspoken follower of L. Ron Hubbard — with kick-starting her career by wearing one of her shirts during a 2001 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. “I’m totally open,” she told the New York Times in 2021 about her Scientologist membership and beliefs. “But it’s not my job to proselytize.” Still, Bravo should expect a lot of backlash. We’ve heard that a photograph of Minkoff posing at her Los Angeles store opening in 2015 with fellow Scientologist Danny Masterson — who is now serving time for rape — is already being texted among show insiders.

There is a powerful bond between Orlando Bloom and his children. Late in the summer of 2020, Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry welcomed their first child. Their precious baby girl was their first child as a couple. But Orlando was already a father. Here is everything to know about the beloved heartthrob’s children.

(Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Beloved actor Orlando Bloom has two children Orlando Bloom welcomed his first child, a son named Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom, with ex-wife Miranda Kerr. More recently, he welcomed Daisy Dove Bloom with fiancee Katy Perry. Though rumors have suggested that Bloom and Perry might try for Baby #2, that’s speculation for the moment. Bloom and the mothers of his children do not put their children into the spotlight to nearly the extent of many other celebrity parents. But we still know a great deal about both Flynn and Daisy. Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom arrive for the 2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on February 24, 2013.

Flynn’s name mirror’s his father’s. “Christopher” takes the place of “Jonathan” in his dad’s name, while “Copeland” was Bloom’s mother’s maiden name. Cute! According to his parents, who married in July of 2010 and divorced in October of 2013, Flynn seemed to really understand the situation. Even at 2, he was also “protective” of his mother when his parents would argue before their separation. Kerr noted as much in August of 2021 when she spoke on the Moments with Candace Parker podcast.

(Photo Credit: Jason Kempin/Getty Images) Flynn is also a big fan of his father’s work. Specifically, in 2017, Kerr told British audiences on This Morning that her then-6-year-old son adored the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. At least the first three films, anyway. Bloom himself mentioned that he wanted to make sure that his son saw his work (when age-appropriate) so that he doesn’t hear about his father’s movies from classmates. That’s smart! Though Flynn’s parents clearly take steps to protect his privacy, both have gushed warmly over their son on social media. Father-son time is very important for Orlando Bloom In 2018, he shared a rare photo of himself with his son, Flynn. His caption? That he was on a “very important lunch date.” Clearly! Bloom has also gushed about how having a son “opened his heart” in a way that made him profoundly “grateful.” Miranda Kerr had sons Hart and Myles with Evan Spiegel, making Flynn a big brother. She has gushed to Jimmy Kimmel about what a loving big brother he is to them. The proud mom also pointed out that her son’s artistic skills are steadily improving, showing off his work on her Instagram page. Bloom and Kerr both clearly adore their son. But they have also worked hard to protect his privacy — which means filtering how much of him they show to the world.

Perry had made her pregnancy announcement in the form of a baby bump bombshell video months earlier during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to both of Daisy’s parents, she strongly resembles them both. They describe her as sharing many of his facial features, but with “Katy blues” (her eyes). In March of 2021, Bloom gushed to The Sunday Times that Daisy’s first word was “dada.” Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom attend Variety’s Power of Women Presented by Lifetime at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on September 30, 2021. (Photo Credit: Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Variety) In 2022, Katy Perry told People that her daughter’s developing personality showed that she was “fearless with lots of chutzpah” just like her parents. Of course, given Daisy’s age, that isn’t always for the best. “I think if you gave all of the toys that you ever wanted to, to a kid they would still want to touch electrical outlets,” Perry joked that same year. Apparently, Daisy loves ballet and performance and is a total “ham.” She’s also a fan of her mother’s work. ???????????????????????????????????? pic.twitter.com/n785xTUHNX — cinthia ???? (@_perrymore) November 5, 2023 In November of 2023, Daisy attended her mother’s final Las Vegas residency show. Fan footage on Twitter showed Perry gushing over her daughter. “Daisy! I love you so much. You’re my best friend! I’m so glad you’re here,” she said from the stage. That is positively adorable. It will be interesting to hear more about Daisy (and Flynn) over time, though we don’t expect either to enter the spotlight until they are actual adults. That’s a smart way to raise celebrity kids.

Tori Spelling is not an Ozempic girlie, but she tried it. Then she found a similar medication that worked for her. In the wake of her 2023 split from Dean McDermott, various fans have worried about Tori’s ultra-slim figure. These health concerns included speculation that Tori might be using controversial luxury weight-loss injections to slim down for a hot divorce bod. It turns out that these anxious fans were half-right. Tori has used Ozempic and Mounjaro … but not to get a revenge body. Tori Spelling attends the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre on April 01, 2024. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Ozempic ‘didn’t work’ for Tori Spelling Speaking on the Tuesday, April 16 episode of her MisSPELLING podcast, Tori Spelling opened up about how she used Ozempic and Mounjaro. Specifically, it stems from her efforts to “bounce back” and lose her pregnancy weight after giving birth to her youngest, Beau, in March of 2017. “I did Mounjaro and everyone admits it now,” Tori confessed on her podcast. Tori Spelling arrives at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena on September 23, 2022. (Photo Credit: David Becker/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) “I tried Ozempic and it didn’t work for me,” Tori then revealed. Tori, who of course rose to fame during the absolute height of our culture’s obsession with body-shaming, is aware of how society has shifted — somewhat. “It’s a different time,” she noted, “so I don’t feel ashamed saying that.” Tori Spelling attends the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on April 01, 2024. (Photo Credit: Jesse Grant/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) Tori’s fifth pregnancy was different than the others “I couldn’t lose the baby weight,” Tori explained. This was different than it had been with her previous pregnancies. “I was lucky enough that with four of my babies, I lost the baby weight afterward,” Tori reflected of having Liam, Stella, Hattie, and Finn. Losing weight after giving birth hinges upon many factors. Major ones include genetics, including the genetics of the baby (the placenta sets so many of the rules for the pregnancy), and also age. Tori was of course just a little older when she had Beau than when she had the others. Obviously, losing weight is not always the healthiest option, is not always feasible, and has no positive or negative moral value. However, Tori is clearly aware that much of society is playing catch-up. During the podcast, she noted how she felt “fortunate” to have remained naturally slender. She’s not a fan of drinking water or working out, so before giving birth to Beau, she just remained skinny without effort. “My whole life I didn’t diet,” Tori recalled. “I was born with really good genes.” Tori Spelling attends the premiere of Freeform’s “Cruel Summer” Season 2 at Grace E. Simons Lodge on May 31, 2023. (Photo Credit: David Livingston/Getty Images) Things changed for Tori Spelling in 2017 “After Beau I was 160 and I couldn’t lose the weight,” Tori recalled. Before that, her heaviest weight had been 120. “The doctor was like, ‘Well it’s an age thing,’” Tori reported. She was 44 at the time. Eating protein and practicing intermittent fasting “just wasn’t working,” she noted. So she tried something new.

Tori went to her doctor for hormone treatments for menopause. That was when she decided to give the diabetes medications a whirl. First Ozempic and then, when that did not produce the desired results, Mounjaro. “I’m no longer on it but I did lose weight,” Tori said of Mounjaro. “I haven’t been on it since end of January.” She then added: “I did go off of it because I didn’t want to lose too much weight.” Tori Spelling Admits to Using Controversial Weight-Loss Meds Ozempic, Mounjaro was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

The relationship between Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss has made lots of headlines in the past year. But it was only last night that we learned exactly how it came to an end. As you’ll likely recall, the Sandoval-Raquel affair was last year’s most widely discussed reality TV drama. The attention became a little overwhelming for Raquel, who wound up quitting Vanderpump Rules and checking into a mental health facility. Raquel Leviss attends the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California on March 22, 2022. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) During her time in Arizona, Raquel wisely did not have any contact with Sandoval. And it seems she continued to ghost him after she completed her time in the mental health facility. In fact, it was only when Sandoval heard Raquel’s first post-rehab podcast interview that he realized he had been dumped. Raquel Leviss attends CLD Pre-Coachella House on April 13, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for CLD PR)) Tom Sandoval Goes OFF on Raquel Leviss! “I’m shell-shocked right now,” said a heartbroken Sandoval on last night’s VPR. “Raquel went on a podcast, I just listened to it. She’s like, ‘I wasn’t in love with Tom.’ And she’s acting as though she’s somehow got it the worst out of everybody.” Tom Sandoval attends the red carpet for Fox’s “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” at Fox Studio Lot on September 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Sandoval went on to reveal that he’d worked on himself in the hope that Raquel would give him a second chance once she returned to LA. “I made changes to myself thinking that — that maybe one day she would see all the hard work I had done on myself and would appreciate it,” Sandoval complained. “I wasn’t fully ready to give up hope until I heard it from her own lips,” he added in a confessional. “And now I have. To go through all that and not give it a shot? What was it all for?” Tom Sandoval attends the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena on September 22, 2023 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Greg Doherty/Getty Images) Sandoval’s bestie Tom Schwartz is usually more than willing to offer a shoulder to cry on, but he wasn’t interested in his friend’s pity party. “It’s over man. It’s been over,” Schwartz remarked. Similarly, unsympathetic was Leviss’ former fiancee James Kennedy. “Dude, I’m listening to the s–t that’s coming out of her mouth, and I’m like, ‘It’s f–king bulls–t. It’s so Goddamn disrespectful,” Sandoval complained to James at one point. Tom Sandoval attends the 2024 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One at the Honda Center on January 13, 2024 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Araya Doheny/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) “She used me and now has thrown me away.” “After the breakup, I went and lived my own life, and it just seems like all of this just comes back to haunt me,” an irate Kennedy replied. “I don’t want to sit here and talk s–t about Raquel. I’m done with the talking s–t. I’m done.” Tom and Raquel’s romance has come to an end, but the fallout will likely remain with them for the rest of their lives! (Bravo) Yes, it seems that Sandoval isn’t receiving any more sympathy from his friend group than he’s receiving from the general public. Sounds like Raquel may have dodged a bullet by kicking this guy to the curb! The last thing she needs is even more haters!

Did Joe Alwyn cheat on Taylor Swift ahead of their breakup? By all accounts, Joe is dreading Taylor’s new album. The Tortured Poets Department is seemingly riddled with references to him, from the title to the tracklist and beyond. But that’s not all; Taylor may have used The Eras Tour to drop hints about their breakup as well. Has Taylor already confirmed that Joe cheated on her? And will the new album double down on that? Here’s the easter eggs fans have dug up. Cue the receipts, proof, timelines, screenshots! Joe Alwyn arrives at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2023 at The Royal Opera House on November 15, 2023. (Photo Credit: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) Did Taylor Swift Drop Hints Joe Alwyn Cheated While On Tour? The news that Taylor and Joe ended their longtime romance was announced just as Taylor was kicking things off in the summer of 2023. By the time she headed overseas, things started to get interesting. As part of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour run in Australia, Taylor performed in Melbourne on February 17. Her acoustic set included a mashup of three particular songs from three different albums. “Getaway Car” is from Reputation, “August” is from Folklore, and “The Other Side of the Door” is from Fearless (Taylor’s Version). Taylor Swift arrives for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, 2024. (Photo Credit: ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) “So getaway car is from the perspective of the cheater, August is from the perspective of the other woman, and the other side of the door from the perspective of the woman who was cheated on,” speculated one Swiftie on social media. Another pointed out that individual lyrics seem to point to some sort of “mess” involving another woman and “three” people total. Maybe people are reading too much into it. But, at the same time, Taylor used songs to hint at the Joe Alwyn breakup a year ago. And then, at her Feb. 24 show in Sydney, Taylor performed another mashup consisting of the songs “Should’ve Said No” and “You’re Not Sorry.” Even if you don’t know the songs, the titles alone at least allude to cheating! Joe Alwyn attends The 2022 Gotham Awards at Cipriani Wall Street at Cipriani Wall Street on November 28, 2022. (Photo Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images for The Gotham Film & Media Institute) ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ should answer a lot of questions After once again making Grammy Awards history, Taylor Swift announced her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department at the 2024 show. Obviously, this project was long in the works, yet still secret. Taylor will release her new album on April 19. And Swifties fully expect that the album will shed light upon her split with Joe Alwyn. After all, the two were in a very serious, very private relationship for six years. But everything about the album screams Joe Alwyn, without even hearing a single song from it. Start with the title. Many fans believe it’s a riff off the title of a group chat Joe admitted he’s in with Paul Mescal and Andrew Scott called “The Tortured Man Club.” Then there is a tracklist, which reads like the most blistering breakup album of all time. Some of the song titles? “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” “Guilty as Sin?,” “So Long, London”! That last one, c’mon! Even the album cover has fans convinced this one is going to be about their breakup. In a black-and-white shot of her lying in bed, Swift may be making a direct reference to the cheating allegations without saying a single word.

(Photo Credit: Steph Chambers/Getty Images) The Joe Alwyn Cheating Rumors: How Did They Start? In the spring of 2023, Emma Laird shared a photo on Instagram of herself and Joe Alwyn. The two were costars in Brutalist. Rumors quickly emerged that he had moved on from Taylor and gotten with her. Some Swifties speculated that the timeline was not as smooth and sequential as that. Without evidence, fans wondered if Joe had cheated.

(Photo Credit: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images for FLC) Taylor has yet to confirm literally any of this Many of Taylor Swift’s fans have spoken against these rumors. It’s not that they’re defending Joe Alwyn — it’s that they don’t like hearing unfounded accusations, or hearing fans put words into Taylor’s mouth. By all accounts, the actual reason for Taylor and Joe’s split had to do with their busy schedules, with Taylor’s massive level of fame (contrasting with Joe’s fondness for privacy), and just growing apart as couples sometimes do. Until Taylor Swift herself says that Joe Alwyn is a cheat, a lot of people aren’t prepared to believe it. Joe Alwyn Cheated on Taylor Swift?

For a very good, understandable and simply tragic reason, Kody Brown is going through it at the moment. In early March, the Sister Wives patriarch lost son Garrison to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The reality star, who was only 26 years old at the time, had been estranged from his famous father for about two years… ever since Kody laid down some very strict guidelines amid the COVID-19 pandemic, forbidding anyone in his family from interacting with anyone outside the family. From what we’ve been able to gather, Kody and Garrison were not speaking at the time the latter committed suicide. Kody Brown and Robyn Brown are featured in this split-screen image. (TLC) Kody has said nothing on his own in the wake of Garrison’s passing, although a previous report alleged he made things awkward at Garrison’s funeral. “Kody is not okay at all. He’s retreated entirely,” a source recently told The Sun, adding of Kody’s mental state these days: “He gets into dark places when he gets upset, so he’s just in a very dark place right now.” We can’t verify this report and we don’t know exactly what dark places refers to or means — but one can’t blame Kody for falling into such a funk, can one? Kody Brown ponders life in this photo from Sister Wives. (TLC) Long before Garrison took his own life, Kody had said he was struggling; in that case, because spouses Christine, Meri and Janelle had all left him at various points in the recent past. In November 2021, Christine finally built up the courage to leave Kody. Then, in December 2022, Janelle confirmed that she and Kody had separated as well. Finally, in January 2023, Meri confirmed her split from Kody after 32 years of marriage, either as spiritual husband and wife or legal husband and wife. Kody Brown is looking quite dapper here, huh? (TLC) This leaves Kody in a legal marriage with Robyn Brown, but The Sun also hints at trouble on this romantic horizon. Amid Kody’s “depression,” a word use by the aforementioned insider, the TLC personality is “causing problems” in his marriage to Robyn. “His mental state is affecting his marriage and it’s actually causing problems in his relationship,” the source explained. “He sort of put up this wall and is internalizing his feelings. He’s focused more on himself and moving on.” Robyn Brown wears a very serious face in this photo from Sister Wives. (TLC) For her part, Robyn hasn’t said anything about Garrison’s death. She admitted last year that she was in a different state of mourning due to the end of her plural family. “Kody and I, we’re getting through this and figuring this out, but it does feel like there was a death,” Robyn told People Magazine in December of her three sister wives all walking away. “We’re both going through a death separately.” Now, of course, they are going through an actual death. WTH is going on? That seems to be what Kody Brown is thinking in this scene. (TLC) Will it result in the dissolution of this union? “I don’t think they will ever divorce unless he continues what he is doing and pushes her out,” the Sun source concluded a few days ago. “Kody just retreats and when he gets upset, he blames her (for his problems). So right now he’s doing that with her.” Kody Brown and Robyn Brown don’t look thrilled in this split screen picture of the couple. (TLC) Back on March 5, Kody uttered his only words about Garrison, joining Janelle to say the following: “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him,” they wrote back then. “His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. “We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.” Kody Brown Divorce: Will Sullen Star Split from Robyn? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Prince William is making his return to the spotlight. Just under a month since wife Kate Middleton revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer, the Prince of Wales is set to resume a number of his very important duties as a member of the racist and pointless Royal Family. We’ve learned, for example, that William will travel on Thursday to West London and Surrey for a number of engagements centered around food preservation. (While we just mocked the uber wealthy family to which William belongs, this is an admirable cause.) Prince William attends a Homewards Sheffield Local Coalition meeting at the Millennium Gallery on March 19, 2024 in Sheffield, England. Homewards is a transformative five-year programme which plans to demonstrate that by working collaboratively across all areas of society, it will possible to end homelessness in the UK. (Photo by Oli Scarff – WPA Pool/Getty Images) According to various outlets, William will visit the Supper, a food redistribution charity, where he will check out how food surplus food from the area is delivered, sorted and repackaged for delivery to small community organizations. From there, William will head to a youth center in West London that is a recipient of the surplus food and will learn how the service impacts those who go to the center. To his credit, the 41-year old has always been interested in this cause. He even founded the Earthshot Prize, an annual fundraising event that celebrates innovative people across the globe working to make positive changes for the state of the environment. Prince William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales sing the national anthem during the Royal Variety Performance before the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall on November 30, 2023. (Photo Credit: Aaron Chown – WPA Pool/Getty Images) These outings would not necessarily have been notable just a few weeks ago. But thenKate Middleton said in a video on March 22 that she is undergoing “preventative chemotherapy” for an undisclosed type of cancer and was “in the early stages of that treatment.” William and Kate didn’t join their loved ones on Easter and have kept very much to themselves since the latter alerted the world to her condition. Over this past weekend, however, William stepped out with son Prince George to watch their favorite soccer team, Aston Villa, as they played French club Lille OSC in the Europe League quarterfinal match. Prince William has dedicated himself to many environmental causes. (Photo by Oli Scarff – WPA Pool/Getty Images) William hasn’t said very much in public since his spouse told the world about her diagnosis. “I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you, personally, for all the wonderful messages of support and for your understanding whilst I have been recovering from surgery,” Middleton said in the aforementioned video, which marked her first official appearance since undergoing abdominal surgery in January. “It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family.” Following Middleton’s admission, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry — neither of whom is exactly on good terms with Kate these days — released a simple statement of sympathy, which read as follows: We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.

Ella Purnell didn’t get her career from having dated Brad Pitt. But there was a time when an ugly rumor claimed that and more. From Yellowjackets to starring on Amazon Prime’s spectacular hit, Fallout, Ella Purnell is an unstoppable talent. But, in 2016, she was a 21-year-old actress who had just won the lead role in a television adaptation. And the Brangelina divorce had scarcely begun. Brad Pitt was the producer. Which made rumors about the two dating at the time disgusting on multiple levels. On the first episode of Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, Ella Purnell’s character, Lucy, is unlucky in love. To say the least. (Image Credit: Amazon Prime Video) Ella Purnell never dated Brad Pitt In 2016, just after Angelina Jolie filed to divorce Brad Pitt after alleged domestic abuse escalated during a fateful family flight, certain tabloids seemed eager to ignore the obvious cause for the divorce. There seemed to be little interest in covering the former heartthrob’s alleged wrongdoing. With so little information available before the prolonged Jolie-Pitt legal battle, it was apparently easier to search for more salacious causes. A 21-year-old actress working on a show — the TV adaptation of Stephanie Danler’s Sweetbitter — with Brad Pitt as a producer was, it seems, a target for rumors. That’s how Ella Purnell briefly became part of the narrative. Brad Pitt walks in the Pitlane prior to the F1 Grand Prix of Las Vegas on November 17, 2023. (Photo Credit: Rudy Carezzevoli/Getty Images) Ella Purnell spoke to The Independent in a recent interview. Obviously, she has been promoting Amazon Prime Video’s critically acclaimed Fallout (one of the best video game adaptations on the planet), on which she stars as Lucy MacLean. But, naturally, the Pitt rumors from nearly eight years earlier came up. “It was my first job in America so that was really scary and it was my first time going to New York,” Purnell described. She recalled when she saw the tabloid rumors. “I was like, ‘That’s so funny.’ I sent it to a few of my friends [as a joke]. And then I went to bed and woke up the next day, and it was f–king everywhere. I had family members texting me to congratulate me.” Fallout’s Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) learns a lot of difficult lessons about life on the surface during the premiere season of the Amazon Prime Video series. (Image Credit: Amazon Prime Video) Ella Purnell soon regretted having even joked about the Brad Pitt rumor She knew that it was fake. Her friends knew that it was fake. But weirdos and professional creeps were running with the story anyway. “I was terrified. I was really upset,” she expressed. Ella continued: “I felt like I couldn’t leave the house and I felt embarrassed.” She recalled: “I read all the comments saying, ‘She’s a little slut. She’s a gold-digger. She wants to get famous. She’s a homewrecker.’ Not one person was saying, ‘Shame on Brad for dating practically a child.'” Brad Pitt arrives for the Formula One British Grand Prix at the Silverstone motor racing circuit in Silverstone, central England on July 9, 2023. (Photo Credit: ANDREJ ISAKOVIC/AFP via Getty Images) At the time of Fallout‘s premiere and her interview, Ella Purnell was 27. Brad Pitt was 60 — more than twice her age. In 2016, their age difference was even more dramatically pronounced. And, as Purnell highlighted during her interview, it’s not that she was literally a child at the time. She was a (very young) adult. But rather, these rumors implied that he’d slept with her through his role as a producer to give her the job … yet these same rumors portrayed her as the wrongdoer in this fictitious situation. Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell) came from an egalitarian meritocracy in Fallout. She spent her first season as a fish out of water. (Image Credit: Amazon Prime Video) Ella Purnell wishes that she’d quashed the Brad Pitt rumors at the time “Essentially, what the tabloids were implying was that I’d only gotten the [Sweetbitter] job because I slept with the producer,” she lamented. “This would never happen to the 21-year-old male lead of a show.” Purnell added: “I wished I had “nipped [the rumor] in the bud quickly to say, A) I’ve never met him. B) Use my platform to make a political stance.” Fortunately, within a few weeks, the rumor died and people moved on. More people dislike Brad Pitt these days, while Purnell’s star is on the rise. Slowly, things seem to be moving in the right direction. Ella Purnell Finally Breaks Silence On Dating Brad Pitt Rumor 8 Years Later was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Is Kristen Doute pregnant with her long-distance boyfriend, Luke Broderick? That’s the question on the minds of fans after Tuesday’s premiere debut episode of The Valley. Much of the series premiere centered around Kristen’s unique relationship with Luke. Kristen shocked her friends — and probably quite a few viewers — by revealing that she and Luke are planning to start a family together — even though he lives in Colorado, about 800 miles from her home in LA. Kristen Doute attends the 2019 E! People’s Choice Awards at Barker Hangar on November 10, 2019 in Santa Monica, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Kristen had a very specific timetable in mind and revealed to her friends that she hoped to be knocked up by the end of summer 2023. Kristen Doute: Is She Pregnant With Luke Broderick’s Baby? Now, six months after that deadline elapsed, fans are curious as to how Kristen’s plan worked out. Is she expecting? Is she still in a relationship with Luke? Kristen Doute attends the 2019 E! People’s Choice Awards at Barker Hangar on November 10, 2019 in Santa Monica, California.

She says she was diagnosed with a blighted ovum, meaning that an embryo has not developed or fully developed. Her Heartbreaking Miscarriage News Kristen shared the news on “Sex, Love, and What Else Matters,” the podcast that she co-hosts with Luke.

Could I have done something different?’ “And my doctor and my friends have told me, inside and out, up and down, there’s no cause. They don’t know why.” Kristen Doute attends the 4th annual Vanderpump Dog Foundation Gala at Taglyan Cultural Complex on November 21, 2019 in Hollywood, California.

The good news is, they’re still together, and as far as we know, they haven’t given up on their dream of starting a family. Luke is quite different from Kristen’s previous boyfriends, but according to those who know her best, that’s a good thing. “When Kristen started dating Luke, I just didn’t see it because she went from these crazy personalities to this mountain man boyfriend now,” Kristen’s friend Jasmine Goode remarked on The Valley‘s season premiere. Luke Broderick converses with Jax Taylor on The Valley. (Bravo) “But he just seems a little country guy, kind of vanilla, but nice.” “I, from the beginning, was like, ‘Do not, for the love of God, date him; you just broke up with someone.’ Clearly, that didn’t happen,” echoed Zack Wickham. “But she got lucky that she’s landed someone that’s willing to work with her, and he is way better than any of her other exes.” Kristen Doute Blasts Jax Taylor’s Comments About Her Baby Plans Things took a turn in April 2024, when Kristen felt she needed to defend her pregnancy journey from a fellow VR alum. During the premiere episode of The Valley, co-star Jax Taylor shared his concerns over Kristen’s plans to get pregnant and have a baby with her long-distance boyfriend. In an interview with Us Weekly after the episode aired, Kristen told Jax to basically mind his business – and laid into him a bit as well! “I felt like that was just Jax deflecting about his own life and not wanting to deal with all of the stuff that was going on with him,” she told Us Weekly. “And Jax loves to tell other people how to run their life. So, I don’t necessarily think it was about my fertility or actually about my choices about my body to get pregnant or for Luke and I to have a family. I think it was just Jax’s way of deflecting, not having to deal with his own stuff.” His own stuff? Oh, you mean like his divorce from Brittany? Yeah, that does sound like something he should be focusing on, rather than Kristen Doute being pregnant or not! Is Kristen Doute Pregnant?

“My dream was to be married forever and grow old with this person. I did not want to be in this position, trust me.” So said Kyle Richards in February during an appearance on The Today Show. Unfortunately for the long-time reality star, this dream has not become a reality. While making the above statement, Richards was referring to her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky, from whom Kyle is now separated. Kyle Richards attends the 2024 People’s Choice Awards at Barker Hangar on February 18, 2024 in Santa Monica, California. (Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images) Richards and Umansky announced their split in July 2023, although the two appear to still be legally married. This cannot be said, of course, for Richards and Guraish Aldjufrie. He might not be known to the average Bravo viewer, but Aldjufrie met Richards at a concert in the late 1980s He didn’t speak much English at the time, but he and Richards reportedly had a blast at this event… and were then married with a year, with Kyle giving birth to the then-couple’s daughter, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, on October 31, 1988. Kyle Richards attends the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s 32nd Annual Academy Awards Viewing Party on March 10, 2024 in West Hollywood, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) The spouses got divorced in 1992. There are no hard feelings, however. “He loved me. We had a beautiful daughter together. I loved him. And I was just too young to be married,” she said during a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 confessional. Aldjufrie has since relocated to Bali, where he now resides full-time, although he appears remain close with his daughter. “Thank you for teaching me and guiding me through life. I’m so grateful for our amazing bond,” Farrah wrote in 2020 in honor of her dad’s birthday.

(Photo Credit: Jesse Grant/Getty Images for Homeless Not Toothless) Fast forward to Richards exchanging vows in 1996 with Umansky. The pair’s marriage and generally steady relationship was a central storyline for Richards during her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills… until last year’s unexpected announcement. Kyle tried to explain where things went wrong two months ago on Today: “I think there were certain things that were there that we had kind of been putting on the back burner for a long time. You know, you’re pregnant and you’re breastfeeding. “And then it was working and juggling the kids and you kind of forget about it, and then it resurfaces again. “And I think I just kind of came to a, I would say a breaking point, honestly. And I’ve gone through a lot. I lost my best friend, and I think that really does change you and makes you look at things differently.” Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards attend WCRF’s “An Unforgettable Evening” at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel on February 27, 2020 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Richards has also said she simply needed space from Mauricio, implying the break-up may be temporary. “It’s not like there was one big thing [that caused the split],” Richards said on Season 13 of the aforementioned series. “We do love each other very much and have a lot of respect for each other, so that makes it even harder to make a decision like that.” The estranged spouses couple share three biological daughters: Alexia Simone Umansky, Sophia Kylie Umansky and Portia Umansky. Kyle Richards is all dressed up for this red carpet appearance. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for Women’s Cancer Research Fund) On Buying Beverly Hills Season 2, Umansky’s real estate Netflix series, Umansky told these kids: “I had an amazing 26 years with your mom, an amazing 26 years. I wanted to do everything possible to just save it. “So, you know, your mom came and she talked to me and she said, ‘I think I need space.’ She said to me, ‘Listen, the rules are that, you know, you go out, you date, you do whatever it is that you want to do. I’m not going to be asking you what you’re doing. I don’t want you to be asking me what I’m doing. Like, we are separated.’” With her personal life seemingly settled at the moment, fans have moved on to her professional life. Is Kyle Richards really quitting the show that made her famous?

Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Maybe, but how about a CELEBRITY! Travis Kelce might be interested in finding out with his own game show! Just because the 3x Super Bowl champ is off enjoying a romantic vacation with his girl Taylor Swift, doesn’t mean Travis isn’t thinking about the next stage of his career. Word on the street is, now that’s he found love, he’s ready to return to TV in a whole new way. Is there room for game show host on his resume? Travis Kelce waves to fans after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 during Super Bowl LVIII (Photo Credit: Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Travis Kelce To Host New Show ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ The Kansas City Chiefs tight end is set to host the next reboot of the beloved game show Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?. Now, the game will see contestants face off against a classroom of famous people, with the new title Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? Adding the title of game show host to his resume is something Travis is really looking forward to. “I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with ‘Are you Smarter than a Celebrity?’,” Travis shared in the official press release (via Variety). “The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining. I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up.” The long-running game show would have a twist with Travis at the helm though. It would be “celebrity-focused” which we gather means celebrity guests would be playing against the panel of kids. Prior hosts of the original show include Jeff Foxworthy and John Cena, the latter hosting the show when it aired on Nickelodeon. Amazon Prime Video has officially ordered a 20-episode season, though a release date has not been announced. One huge, red flag question was immediately asked but not answered: how will he swing this AND a big football career? Could this be a sign that he’s about to retire same as his brother Jason? It’s unlikely that would be case – Travis seems keen to nab another ring, preferably next year – but it’s also clear that Travis has a flare for entertainment outside of the field.

Fallon / AFP)) Travis Kelce’s TV Career. Even though a TV game show would be a commitment, it’s not like Travis hasn’t juggled TV with his sports career before. Lest us not forget his reality series, Catching Kelce – although Travis would really prefer if we did. Fifty women, one from each state, once competed for a chance to win over his heart. There was a winner, but their love didn’t last. Point is, he fit in the show in the off-season, as well as a stint hosting Saturday Night Live in March 2022. In fact, he even made fun of his reality show “It was kind of like The Bachelor, except instead of roses, I handed out footballs, and instead of watching, people did not.” And of course, even during the football season, Travis is able to find time to record his podcast with brother Jason. Who doesn’t love a new episode of Raising Heights?! So, in short, we think he can swing it – and secretly, we want it to happen so he can convince Taylor to be one of his first guests!

Did Hulu cancel The Kardashians or something? The streaming giant has lost a ton of Kardashian content and that’s made fans NERVOUS about the next season of the show. With rumors of Kourtney wanting her own show and Khloe talking about side projects, maybe the famous family’s wanderlust got the better of them. Or maybe the show’s ratings aren’t what Hulu wanted. What’s going on with The Kardashians? Kris Jenner wears white while speaking to the confessional camera on The Kardashians. (Image Credit: Hulu) Why do fans think that ‘The Kardashians’ is canceled at Hulu? There are a few questions and concerns that have fans worrying that Hulu has canceled The Kardashians. After four seasons, some ask when Season 5 is coming out. Others wonder if Season 5 will be the end of an era. A huge catalogue of Kardashians media has vanished from Hulu. And many aren’t sure if the show has the sort of viewership that Hulu wants to keep paying Kardashian-level incomes to this famous family. While all decked out ahead of her Milan show, Kim Kardashian appeared to be all geared up to fight Thanos and win. (Image Credit: Hulu) When is ‘The Kardashians’ Season 5 coming out? Season 1 of The Kardashians premiered on April 14, 2022. Since then, Seasons 2, 3, and 4 premiered on September 22, 2022, May 25, 2023, and September 28, 2023 respectively — followed by a lengthy hiatus of more than half a year. But don’t worry — the Season 5 premiere date is no mystery. ‘The Kardashians’ Season 5 premieres May 23, 2024 Hulu had actually ordered the fifth season a while before it aired or even filmed. Initially, the streaming giant had ordered 40 episodes. Hulu later extended the order by another 20. So Season 5 is no surprise, in that regard. It’s just that The Kardashians doesn’t have a simple, annual release schedule like traditional television usually does — and that can keep viewers on their toes. Getting kreative, Khloe Kardashian lists some salacious ideas on The Kardashians Season 4. (Image Credit: Hulu) Will there be a ‘The Kardashians’ Season 6? For fans, there’s even better news: Hulu’s 60-episode order extension, which they announced at Disney’s upfront presentation in May of 2023, includes a sixth season. We do not yet know the Season 6 premiere date. Hulu has not officially announced the release schedule. However, given that Season 5 of The Kardashians premieres in May of 2024 and given previous patterns, September or October are good bets for Season 6. Kris Jenner looks cool and in charge in this helicopter from the KUWTK 10th Anniversary promo. (Image Credit: E!) Why isn’t ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ on Hulu anymore? In 2022, Hulu lost Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Even in 2024, KUWTK is only visible on Hulu with the “Live TV” option. As Variety reported at the time, all 20 seasons of KUWTK are on Peacock. That makes sense, as Peacock is NBCUniversal’s streaming site. NBCUniversal owns E!, which is where the series originally ran. The Kardashians is a Hulu original. Truth be told, this is how streaming sites should work. NBCUniversal projects should appear on Peacock, Disney media on Disney+ and Hulu, Viacom properties on Paramount+ … that way everyone knows where to find what they want. During a June 2023 episode of The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian grew very expressive while speaking to Travis Barker. (Image Credit: Hulu) Is ‘The Kardashians’ canceled at Hulu? As of spring of 2024, ahead of the Season 5 premiere, there are no indications that Hulu has any interest in canceling the show. Every show ends eventually, whether it’s after one season or after thirty. But unless something changes — whether it’s the family’s willingness to go on or ratings — renewals are reasonably likely in the near future. Kim Kardashian, Scott Disick, and Khloe Khardashian lounge comfortably on the family’s classic oversized, colorless furniture. (Image Credit: Hulu) Does ‘The Kardashians’ have good ratings? At the time that it began, The Kardashians was the most-watched series premiere on all of Hulu during its first three days. Reportedly, it has continued this streak — worldwide on Disney+ and also by appearing in the Top 10 most streamed show lists across all streaming platforms on multiple weeks. So it sounds like viewership has not been a problem. ‘The Kardashians’ Cancelled? Did Hulu End Reality Show After 5 Seasons? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

As you have likely already heard, and as you may very well still be celebrating, O.J. Simpson died last week at the age of 76. The former football player, who almost definitely murdered his wife and a man named Ron Goldman back in 1994, had been diagnosed earlier this year with prostate cancer. According to various sources, Simpson deteriorated rather rapidly afterward and was surrounded by all five of his kids when he passed. O.J. Simpson reacts after learning he was granted parole at Lovelock Correctional Center July 20, 2017 in Lovelock, Nevada. (Photo by Jason Bean-Pool/Getty Images) Now, meanwhile, lawyer Malcolm LaVergne has provided folks with an update on where things stand with Simpson’s body and also his fortune. First, LaVergne says Simpson will be cremated. There are no plans to have his brain donated to science, despite a push in some circles to determine whether or not the retired running back suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy… a degenerative brain disease that has been studied in ex-football players and is associated with behavioral and cognitive issues related to repeated head injuries. Elsewhere, LaVergne walked back previous comment he had made. O.J. Simpson listens to audio recording played during an evidentiary hearing for O.J. Simpson in Clark County District Court in Clark County District Court May 16, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Julie Jacobson-Pool/Getty Images) Last week, LaVergne told The Las Vegas Review-Journal that he’d fight to prevent a payout of the $33.5 million judgment awarded to the families of Simpson’s ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Goldman. He even said wanted Fred Goldman, Ron’s father, to receive “zero, nothing” of Simpson’s estate… despite Simpson having been found guilty for Ron’s death in a civil trial. “I can tell you in advance, Fred Goldman’s claim will be accepted. And his claim will be handled in accordance with Nevada law,” LaVergne now tells The Hollywood Reporter, alleging that his earlier comments were not in response to Fred Goldman, but toward his attorneys. O.J. Simpson attends his parole hearing at Lovelock Correctional Center July 20, 2017. (Photo Credit: Jason Bean-Pool/Getty Images) Added Simpson’s lawyer since 2009: “Within an hour of knowing that O.J. died, he started talking sh-t. My advocate instinct is was, ‘Oh, you’re gonna keep shitting on him even after he’s dead?’ “Fine, you know? You get nothing.’ And so, those were my remarks then. But I backtracked, and they were pretty harsh remarks. And now I’m going in the other direction.” LaVergne claims now that he plans to invite Goldman’s mother and the person in control of Brown’s estate to a meet at his office in order to be transparent about the process.

(Photo by Steve Marcus-Pool/Getty Images) “We can get this thing resolved in a calm and dispassionate manner,” LaVergne says. We’ll see about that, of course. Now serving as the executor of Simpson’s estate, LaVergne also says there are tentative plans for a “celebration of life” gathering for O.J., limited to close friends and family. We’re not exactly sure who else would attend such an event, considering we all had the same reaction upon learning of Simpson’s death, didn’t we? As Caitlyn Jenner noted, GOOD RIDDANCE. O.J.

Courtney Love might want to steer clear of social media for a few days because her recent comments about Taylor Swift are sure to attract some harsh criticism from the world’s most passionate stans. Yes, Courtney is no stranger to controversies involving blonde music icons, but this time she’s angered Swifties, a group that makes Nirvana-loving conspiracy theorists look downright tame by comparison. In a recent interview with UK newspaper The Evening Standard, Courtney offered some very candid takes on the biggest pop stars of today, including, of course, Taylor. And while no one can accuse Ms. Love of pulling punches or sugar-coating her opinions, some hardcore Swifties will likely accuse the grunge legend of trolling for attention.

(Photo by Francois Durand/Getty Images) Courtney Love Is Not a Fan of Taylor Swift “Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist,” Courtney told the newspaper. The Madonna comparison might initially sound like a compliment, but it seems that Courtney is not a fan of the Material Girl, either. “I don’t like her, and she doesn’t like me,” Love elaborated. “I loved Desperately Seeking Susan, but for the city of New York as much as her.” Courtney Love attends the “Moonage Daydream” London Premiere at BFI IMAX Waterloo on September 05, 2022 in London, England. (Photo by Stuart C. Wilson/Getty Images) Courtney Love Is Also Not a Fan of Beyonce Courtney was similarly outspoken in her assessment of Beyonce’s recent country album, Cowboy Carter. “I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much,” she said. “As a concept, I love it. I just don’t like her music.” Beyoncé accepts the Best R&B Performance award for ‘Black Parade’ onstage during the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards at Los Angeles Convention Center on March 14, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) As for Courtney’s take on Lana Del Rey? You guessed it! It seems LDR just doesn’t do it for the former Hole frontwoman. “I haven’t liked Lana since she covered a John Denver song, and I think she should really take seven years off,” Love said. “Up until ‘Take Me Home Country Roads’ I thought she was great. When I was recording my new album, I had to stop listening to her as she was influencing me too much.” Lana Del Rey attends the Pre-GRAMMY Gala and GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Honoring Sean “Diddy” Combs on January 25, 2020 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Gregg DeGuire/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) So does Courtney like any female singer-songwriters? Yes, it turns out she’s big on some legends of yesteryear, including Patti Smith, Nina Simone, PJ Harvey, Julie London, and Joni Mitchell. Well, you can’t fault her taste in songstresses from bygone eras, which is clearly impeccable. We suppose it would be nice if Courtney had more kind words for the women of modern music, but at the same time, she deserves credit for her honesty. Courtney Love speaks onstage during The Daily Front Row Fashion LA Awards 2019 on March 17, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for Daily Front Row) “I am completely disagreeable and I’m never going to apologise for that. I always wanted to be known as a b-tch. Being liked was never my thing. Kurt wanted to be liked but not me,” Courtney explained to The Standard. “He was able to hide behind me, but then I got hated. Then Kurt died, and the hatred towards me reached a completely new level. I did not plan for that.” So we guess Courtney won’t be too troubled by all the hate she’s about to receive from Swifties and the Bey Hive. That’s a good thing because Tay’s biggest fans have a reputation for being ferocious!

Ariana Grande is a divorced woman, something she hoped she’d never be, but it happened all the same. Her romantic life has been a hot topic of conversation ever since she was crowned a pop princess. Despite transition into a mature, eloquent artist, many are still fixated just on the goings on of her love life. More specifically, they want to know when she’s going to settle down and if it’s going to stick. So, to review, let’s see how Ariana added “divorcee” to her resume. Ariana Grande belts out one of her many hits in this photo of the popular singer in 2018. (Getty) Ariana Grande’s Divorce: What Happened With Dalton Gomez? The world learned of Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez’s split in the summer of 2023 Their surprise marriage turned into an equally out-of-the-blue breakup, following a very quiet separation. So quiet, in fact, that Dalton was able to date for months without the world catching wind that Ariana was “single”. (Note the quotations) But what caused the end of their marriage? The answer is complicated At first, multiple inside sources reported to TMZ that Ariana and Dalton’s marriage fell apart because they’re lives no longer meshed. When the two of them first hooked up back in 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic they were pretty much each other’s whole worlds. They kept each other company. They shared romance. And they provided each other with emotional support. But now when then life-saving COVID-19 restrictions lifted, Ariana and Dalton got back to their respective careers; Dalton, a successful Los Angeles realtor and Ariana, a global superstar. And that’s where the trouble started. Ariana Grande’s Relationship With Ethan Slater Ariana started filming the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked in December 2022 in London. This was the start of the end of her long distance marriage. Within a month, the pair separate, though no one but their inner circle is aware of this. By the time fans noticed shed was not wearing her wedding ring while attending Wimbledon, her marriage was officially over – and Ariana was moving on. Within a few weeks of her divorce announcement, it’s revealed that Ariana has been dating her still-married-yet-separated Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater. The news is suprising to many – including Ethan’s wife, Lily. A source told Page Six that Lilly was “completely blindsided” by news of Ariana and Ethan dating, adding, “It’s horrible. They were high school sweethearts. They have a baby! She’s a wreck.” Still, sources who spoke to Entertainment Tonight insist that the pair “didn’t start dating until both were broken up with their significant others.” Yes, but “broken up” and “divorced” are two separate things. Ariana Grande looks gorgeous here in black and white. (Getty) How Many Times Has Ariana Grande Been Divorced? As she’s only been married the one time to Dalton Gomez, she’s only been divorced the one time as well. Ariana was the one to file for the divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. When all was said and done, Ariana onetime payment of $1,250,000 to Gomez with no future alimony, give him half of the proceeds of the sale of their Los Angeles home, and will pay up to $25,000 toward his attorneys’ fees. Of course, it might’ve been two divorces, if she had made it down the aisle with Pete Davidson. The pair were engaged, but called it off before they could make it down the aisle in 2018.

As of April, Ariana and Ethan are still going strong, though his own divorce is still not finalized. In early 2024, Ari dropped her latest album, eternal sunshine, which several tracks alluding her to her rocky divorce and new romance. Ariana then made an appearance on the Zach Sang Show to discuss her new album and alludes to her situationship with Ethan when talking about all of the public speculation re: their romance. “We selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person,” Ariana begins before adding, “We selectively remember that. We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance. Like, they don’t leave space for that—well, they do for their friends and their family. It’s selective. But they turn it off when that aligns with the version of a person that they have in their head that they want to believe is true.” Ariana Grande Divorced: Her Dalton Gomez Split & New Man, Explained was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Back in 2021, Queen Elizabeth II hired an independent investigator to look into bullying claims made by members of Meghan Markle’s staff. At the time, many dismissed the investigation as a clever bit of counter-programming by the royals: The allegations were made public just days before Meghan and Prince Harry sat down for their bombshell interview with Oprah. Sussex supporters were quick to accuse the royals of attempting to shift the narrative and head off Harry and Meghan’s criticism.

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Meghan Markle Bullying Investigation: Legit or Ludicrous? Meghan’s lawyers called the investigation a “calculated smear campaign.” But royal defenders argued that the timing of the claims was merely coincidental, and they demanded that the accusations be taken seriously. The results of the investigation were mostly kept private. Meghan Markle chats with people inside the Drawing Room during a visit to Cardiff Castle on January 18, 2018 in Cardiff, Wales. (Photo by Ben Birchall – WPA Pool / Getty Images) “The review has been completed and recommendations on our policies and procedures have been taken forward,” Michael Stevens, the Queen’s treasurer, said during a briefing at the time, according to The New York Post. “But we will not be commenting further.” Three years later, the matter is mostly forgotten. Or at least it was, until Meghan’s former private secretary, Samantha Cohen, broke her silence earlier this week.

(Photo by Rosa Woods – Pool/Getty Images) Meghan’s Former Secretary Speaks Out Speaking with Australian newspaper The Herald Sun, Cohen revealed that she was forced to remain in her role for far longer than anticipated due to the royals’ inability to find a suitable replacement secretary for Meghan. “I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18 — we couldn’t find a replacement for me, and when we did, we took them on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them the ropes, but they left (quit) as well while in Africa,” Cohen said.

(Photo by Kirsty Wigglesworth – Pool/Getty Images) The remarks are somewhat cryptic, but of course, the anti-Meghan contingent of the British tabloid press has chosen to take Cohen’s comment as evidence that the Duchess of Sussex is impossible to work with. Cohen was similarly vague on the subject of the late queen, claiming Elizabeth “had no ego” yet “loved it when things went wrong.” We may never know exactly what Cohen meant by that statement, but there’s certainly a great deal going wrong within the royal family these days.

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Meghan and Harry are still feuding with Kate Middleton and Prince William, and it seems that recent family crises have not resulted in a truce, as some observers hoped they would. The Sussexes have yet to remark on Cohen’s claims, and they’ll probably continue to remain quiet. But you can be certain that Meghan’s harshest critics will have a field day with this renewed interest in one of the darkest chapters of her career.
