Meghan Markle: BANNED From Pippa Middleton"s Wedding?!

Some claim that when Kate Middleton married Prince William back in 2011, Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, received more press coverage than press coverage than the bride.

Obviously, that’s an exaggeration, but Pippa did receive a lot of attention that day for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear.

It had something to do with Pippa’s butt and the fact that it’s apparently big by British standards.

We imagine the average Englishman pops his monocle and faints dead away if you show him a picture of Kim Kardashian.

Anyway, for whatever reason many believe that Pippa stole the show from her royal sister, and now it seems Pippa is doing everything she can to avoid a similar on her own wedding day.

Pippa will marry hedge fund manager James Matthews in May, and it was initially reported that her wedding would serve as a venue for the first official appearance of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Now, however, sources close to Pippa say she’s instituted a policy to ensure that she won’t be upstaged at her own wedding.

Since arguing with the bride-to-be in the weeks leading up to a wedding can result in instant death-by-eye-gouging, Pippa could have simply said she doesn’t want to see anyone who’s name starts with “M” and ends with “-eghan Markle” at the ceremony.

Instead, she kept up appearances by issuing a broader rule:

Tipsters claim Pippa has announced a strict “no ring, no bring” policy, according to which, no one guests will be permitted a plus one unless their married or engaged.

Hilariously, it would also mean that her fiance’s brother, Spencer Matthews, would not be permitted to bring his model girlfriend, Vogue Williams.

Apparently, that’s just fine by Pippa, as Williams is a somewhat of a celebrity in the UK, thanks to her role on the reality show Made in Chelsea.

So Williams is a potential spotlight-stealer, too, but sources say she’s a collateral damage bonus kill for Pippa, who mainly has her sights set on Meghan.

Of course, this whole thing could end up backfiring on Meghan.

There are already rumors that Harry and Meghan are engaged, and even if that’s not the case, Harry still has a few weeks left to pop the question.

Imagine the scenario:

Harry shows up with Meghan; Pippa approaches to give her the boot; Meghan flashes a ring, and says something badass like, “Butt out, Pippa.”

Ryan Murphy would have a Pips vs. Meg miniseries ready to go the next day.

15 Disturbing Things BANNED By the Duggar Family

The Duggar family"s unusual dating rules have been well documented, and have been well before the family was embroiled in scandals.

It was epic, abrupt and stunning fall from grace when Josh Duggar"s child molestation history – and rampant adultery – was first exposed.

Yet, despite his hypocrisy, and the fact that everything about the family has been under more scrutiny, the Duggars are going strong.

TLC axed 19 Kids & Counting, only to come back with Counting On, and you can count on them never backing down from their beliefs.

When it comes to their core convictions, they stand firm.

Their belief system certainly takes a certain kind of conviction in order to practice, too, since their list of rules for love and life is not short.

Despite talk of Jinger or Joy-Anna Duggar breaking courtship rules, or being slightly less rigid with them, these guidelines ain"t no joke.

Here are 15 things the Duggars specifically do not allow …

1. Dates Without Chaperones

The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.

2. Non-Group Texts

Even in the kids’ late teens and early 20s, mom and dad are creeping on their text messages. When Ben Seewald jokingly wrote to fiancee Jessa, “Give me a ring,” Jim Bob actually jumped in on the group text, writing “No ring yet.” With a smiley face emoticon. Seriously, he did that. Whatever you think of him, Jim Bob needs his own Instagram so he can start posting screen shots of this stuff.

3. Hugs on the Chest

This moment you see here between Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard would not have been permitted until the couple was married. Side hugs are the preferred method of PDA in order to prevent any further temptation or “hanky panky,” as has been well documented on 19 Kids and Counting. The Duggars love their side hugs so hard … though not too too hard, lest they lead to full-frontal hugging. And any touching beyond that? Save it for your wedding night.

4. Alcohol

This is probably an obvious one if you know anything about the Duggars. The family does not smoke or drink. They do, however, enjoy the occasional sugary dessert or getting high on life and love.

5. Romance Novels

Safe to say the Duggars are in the minority, having not read Fifty Shades of Grey (the movie adaptation of which they won’t be seeing either, we’re guessing). The Bible warns not to “think about gratifying the pleasure of the flesh,” so instead the family studies Christian text and not E.L. James’ erotic fiction. The Duggars’ option is probably 1,000 times better-written, we will give them that much.

6. Modern Music and/or Dancing

Avert your eyes, Michelle Duggar! The family matriarch feels that dancing encourages “sensual” feelings, while Jessa Duggar has said that she feels modern music promotes “sex, drugs, all that type of stuff.” Instead, the family chooses to play gospel music together.

Nathan Griffith Body-Shames Trainer on Snapchat, Gets Banned From Gold"s Gym

It’s been quite a week for Jenelle Evans’ exes.

First, Courtland Rogers is getting out of jail and vowing to win her back (though she mercifully wants her former husband to steer clear).

Now, Nathan Griffith is persona non grata at Gold’s Gym after he body-shamed a trainer there with a horribly insensitive Snapchat pic.

If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you know that the father of Evans’ second son, Kaiser, has been in the news for many negative reasons.

From on-air arguments to off-air domestic violence, to DUI, to fighting Jenelle for custody of Kai, Griffith has never been far from trouble.

He can’t even go to the gym without causing problems, apparently, as he showed by cyber-bullying someone during a recent workout.

Yes, Nathan decided to also flex his bullying muscles in addition to his biceps when he cruelly mocked a Gold’s Gym trainer on Snapchat.

Griffith posted the photo of a trainer at the gym below, and captioned the image, “When the trainer is fat than her client with no muscles.”

Total class act, this guy.

(In addition to being a jackass, Nathan is also a moron, based on that grammatically incorrect caption, but that’s neither here nor there.)

Many of Nathan’s Snapchat followers, who should probably rethink their lives for even following him, were rightfully appalled by this.

They quickly took action, and he’s paying the price.

After figuring out which specific gym Nathan was pumping iron at, Internet sleuths began bombarding the Gold’s Gym Twitter account.

Having been alerted, Gold’s was not having it.

In response to tweets from irate Teen Mom 2 fans, the gym said in a statement that Nathan Griffith is banned from the premises for bullying.

Effective immediately.

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for this behavior. This person’s membership has been terminated,” the popular gym franchise tweeted.

Nate has yet to reply to getting his gym membership revoked, but we suspect an indignant, borderline illegible response in due time.

Could he face legal charges for doing this? He might want to consult the lawyer for disgraced former Playboy Playmate Dani Mathers.

Mathers, you recall, is in hot water over a Snapchat pic she posted last fall of showed a nude woman in her gym locker room changing.

Dani, who later apologized (for getting caught),  body-shamed the woman in the caption, writing “if I can’t unsee this, neither can you.”

A criminal charge, if issued, is Dissemination of Private Images, which is a misdemeanor which could carry a six-month jail sentence.

A bit extreme for a bad Snapchat joke?

Perhaps, but not necessarily if you consider that Nathan isn’t just being a dick (he is a dick, but it goes beyond that) in this situation.

Publicly humiliating another person and invading their privacy in such fashion does potentially cause the victim considerable harm. 

Safe to say that Jenelle Evans is better off these days with her current fiance, David Eason, than either Griffith or Rogers …

We just hope her good relationship lasts.

The Walking Dead T-Shirt BANNED: Find Out Why!

The Walking Dead is one of the biggest TV shows on the planet. It’s a brutal tale of survival as a group of people try to stay safe in the aftermath of a zombie outbreak. 

U.K. department store, Primark decided to pull an official T-shirt centered around the show from shelves following claims that it is racist and offensive. 

A message on the product reads, “Eeny meeny miny moe…” and is accompanied by a picture of a bat with barbed wire wrapped around it.

If you watch The Walking Dead online, you will already know that the T-shirt is inspired by a scene from The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 16. 

The scene in question was the one in which Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s character, Negan bashed the brains out of two characters. 

The scene caused outrage because of the gore involved in it. There were brains, eyes popping out and a whole lot of blood. 

It was gruesome and signaled the loss of both Abraham and Glen, thus changing the dynamic of the series forever. 

The racism claims stem from the nursery rhyme on the product. Many years ago, it was turned into a racist slur. 

A customer spotted the T-shirt in the store and turned to The Sheffield Star to reveal his thoughts on it. 

“This image relates directly to the practice of assaulting black people in America … It is directly threatening of a racist assault, and if I were black and were faced by a wearer, I would know just where I stood.”

Primark was quick to respond with the news that they would be removing the T-shirt from sale. 

“The T-shirt in question is licensed merchandise for the U.S. television series, The Walking Dead, and the quote and image are taken directly from the show. Any offense caused by its design was wholly unintentional, and Primark sincerely apologizes for this.”

The man who plays Negan took to Twitter to vent his frustration at all of the controversy. 

“Holy c**p, people are stupid,” the star tweeted to his 370,000 followers with a link to a news article about the ban. 

The Walking Dead Season 7 appears to have been affected by the violence. The highly anticipated season premiere secured over 17 million viewers and an 8.4 rating among adults 18-49. 

However, the ratings quickly fell from there. The midseason finale in November managed 10.6 million viewers and a 5.1 rating. 

That’s a huge drop-off in just a matter of weeks.

Will this latest scandal send the ratings lower?

Martin Shkreli Gets Banned From Twitter; Society Dares to Dream of a Brighter Future

As you’re probably aware, 2016 wasn’t a great year for Baby Boomer celebrities or human beings who are plagued by one of those pesky sense of decency things.

Whether it’s his fault or not is a discussion for another time, but there’s no debating that the election of Donald Trump sent a message to latent bigots and bullies, and the most vile forms of harassment or quickly becoming the norm.

Much of this behavior has taken the form of social media trolling, and naturally, some of the worst of it comes from a man who’s a literal troll IRL:

Yes, noted cancerous mole on the face of humanity Martin Shkreli has officially made the transition from trash-talk to stalking, and Twitter has responded by kicking his weaselly ass to the curb.

You might remember Shkreli as the “pharma douche” who jacked up the cost of a life-saving medication by 5,000 percent during his brief time as CEO of Turing Pharmaceuticals.

Like Arthur Chu before him, Shkreli decided to extend his 15 minutes of fame by saying outrageous sh-t on Twitter.

It’s a surprisingly effective formula – until you go so far that even the surprisingly harassment-tolerant folks @Jack decides you’ve gone too far and boots you from the service.

Over the weekend, Shkreli set his sights on a Teen Vogue reporter named Lauren Duca, who dared to observe that Donald Trump psychologically manipulated voters during his presidential campaign.

It wasn’t immediately clear why Shkreli decided to go off on Duca, rather than the thousands of other reporters who have already made this observation, but eventually his disturbing motives emerged:

It seems he has a creepy, creepy thing for her, and his disturbing tweets are his way of throwing rocks at the girl he likes in the schoolyard.

Duca and her followers appealed to Twitter’s admins and eventually he was account was suspended.

We won’t even bother to reproduce Shkreli’s tweets (and yes, part of the reason for that is that his account is gone, which makes them difficult to find), but suffice it to say, low-lights included multiple confessions that he would like to “date” Duca, and a photoshop of his face on her husband’s body.

Yeah, she wasn’t overreacting by being creeped out.

In fact, she wouldn’t be overreacting if she filed for an order of protection.

Fortunately, Duca may not have to worry about Shkreli showing up outside her apartment with a heart full of longing and a boombox full of unreleased Lil Wayne tracks for much longer. 

Back in December of 2015, Shkreli was arrested for securities fraud, and he’s set to stand trial in June.

Something tells us his antics won’t play so cute in Rikers.

Azealia Banks: Banned From Facebook, Exiled to MySpace

At this point, we think it’s safe to say Azealia Banks’ rap career never quite took off like it was supposed to.

“212” was, ever shall be the jam, but that was … years ago, and it wasn’t exactly a mainstream hit.

Since then, Banks has become more famous for her feuds than for her music and her wildly erratic behavior that for her music.

In the past year alone she’s beefed with Russell Crowe, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Jay Z, Iggy Azalea (probably justified), and the entire continent of Australia (possibly related).

Banks was banned from Twitter after tweeting shockingly bigoted comments about people of Middle Eastern descent during a bizarre tirade targeted at Zayn Malik.

And now, it looks like she’s been booted from the web’s other biggest social media platform.

At some point last night, Banks Facebook profile disappeared from without explanation.

No cause has been given by either the site or Banks (though we must admit, we have yet to check her LiveJournal page), but if we had to guess, we’d say the ban probably has something to do with the following video that Banks posted last week:

Azealia Banks Sacrifices Chickens, Posts the Bloody Aftermath on Snapchat

Oh, you should be warned that the above clip is NSFAHBE (not safe for any human being ever).

If you already clicked on it, um … sorry!

It shows Banks cleaning up blood and feathers from what she claims is “three years’ worth” of chicken sacrifices carried out as part of her practices in witchcraft.

“Real witches do real things,” Banks gleefully tells the camera as she refers to power wash the poultry gore from her floors and walls.

Not a necessary chore for most NYC residents.

Of course, the final straw for Mark Zuckerberg may have been a racist rant targeted at her Brazilian followers that Banks posted last night:

“When are all of these third world freaks going to stop spamming my page with broken English over things they know nothing about?” Banks wrote.

She continued:

“I’m the queen of the Internet. This stuff is all so effortless. Sheesh.

“How I manage to make international news from the comfort of my toilet seat is honestly beyond me. I’m not even doing anything … at all.” 

We’d say Banks’ days of making news from the toilet appear to have come to an end, but you can’t keep a good psycho down.

See ya on MySpace, Azealia!

Blac Chyna Welcomes a Daughter: Who Was Banned From the Delivery Room?!

As you may have heard, Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian welcomed a daughter this morning.

It’s the second child for Blac, the first for Rob, and the third most ridiculously-named Kardashian.

(It was close, but North West and Saint are really tough names to beat.)

Yes, despite some recent rockiness in Rob and Blac’s relationship the whole family was on hand to greet little Dream Kardashian at the hospital.

Well, almost the whole family…

According to Radar Online, Rob’s mom and two of his sisters rushed to Cedars Sinai as soon as they got the news.

“Kourtney and Khloe headed to the hospital right away,” said the source, adding:

“Kim is not expected to show up but she is obviously welcome there too!”

But it seems that invitation wasn’t extended to everyone.

The site claims that Rob and Blac made it clear that they would prefer if Kylie kept her distance for at least a few hours after the birth.

“Rob told the rest of his family to stay home because he does not want a big scene,” says the insider.

“He and Blac Chyna had to have an elaborate scheme just to get her out of the house and the last thing Rob wants is a media frenzy caused by the rest of his fame-hungry family.”

So they were okay with Kim – aka one of the most famous women on the planet  – showing up to the hospital, but they were worried that Kylie would draw too much attention?

And that’s not the only reason this story doesn’t quite add up.

Moments ago, Kylie began gushing about her new niece on social media:

“I can’t stop looking at her,” Kylie tweeted.

“Congrats @robkardashian @BLACCHYNA she’s so beyond beautiful, a dream.”

So either Blac recovered quicker than Wolverine and she’s already at home, or she was okay with Kylie showing up to the hospital – just not right away.

A third possibility is that Kylie is lying about having met the little tyke, but that would be ridiculous even by her lofty standards of ridiculousness.

The girl lied about her lip injections for a year before coming clean, but we doubt she’d put in the effort just to hide the fact that her future-sister-in-law still doesn’t like her.

Also of note:

Milo Yiannopoulos BANNED From Twitter Amidst Leslie Jones Attacks

Last week, the widely anticipated and surprisingly controversial all-female Ghostbusters reboot opened to mostly positive reviews and mediocre box office.

But it wasn’t the quality or popularity of the film that drew the most attention on social media in the days following its release.

Sadly, the bulk of the attention on Twitter went to the appalling attacks against Leslie Jones, a beloved SNL castmember and one of the four wildly talented leads of the film.

One of Jones’ more outspoken critics was “alt-conservative” Breitbart News columnist Milo Yiannopoulos, who has now been banned from the popular micro-blogging site after Jones reported some of his more offensive tweets.

“People should be able to express diverse opinions and beliefs on Twitter,” a company spokesperson said in a statement provided to BuzzFeed News.

“But no one deserves to be subjected to targeted abuse online, and our rules prohibit inciting or engaging in the targeted abuse or harassment of others.”

The move has sparked an intense debate online with many – even some who disagree with Yiannopoulos – expressing their belief that the ban constitutes a troubling imposition on the popular web personality’s freedom of speech.

While the right to tweet is obviously not protected by the Constitution, for web professionals, access to the major social media sites has become necessary to the point that a suspended account is on par with having one’s phone service taken away.

That’s not to say Twitter, Facebook and Instagram shouldn’t exercise their right to remove users due to the nature of the content that they post, but in the interest of maintaining an open dialogue and avoiding an online nanny state, users should be suspended only in cases of bigoted hate speech or persistent harassment.

Whether Yiannopoulis’ tweets fall under either category is a matter that the online community cannot seem to agree on.

“This is the beginning of the end for Twitter,” Yiannopoulos said in a statement about his suspension. “Some people are going to find this perfectly acceptable.”

“Anyone who believes in free speech or is a conservative certainly will not.”

The hashtag #FreeMilo began trending shortly after news of Yiannopoulos’ suspension went public.

Dani Mathers: Body-Shaming Playmate FIRED & Banned From Gym!

Yesterday, the Internet went absolutely bonkers (as it’s wont to do) over the story of former Playboy model Dani Mathers and her shocking act of body shaming.

A photo that Mathers posted on Snapchat showed a woman undressing in a gym locker room.

Mathers captioned the pic, “If I can’t unsee this, neither can you.”

Predictably the backlash was swift and harsh.

Mathers was criticized for bullying an unsuspecting gym patron who thought she was changing in relative privacy.

Some went so far as to circulate a petition demanding that Mathers be arrested for violating the woman’s privacy.

Mathers deleted her Twitter account in the wake of the incident, but today it’s more apparent than ever that this is one controversy she won’t be able to hide from.

For several years, Mathers has been a regular on the Heidi and Frank radio show on LA’s KLOS station.

TMZ reported moments ago that the station has suspended Mathers indefinitely.

The site also spoke with a representative from LA Fitness – the nationwide fitness chain where the pic was snapped – who says that the 2015 Playmate of the Year is permanently banned from all locations.

According to the rep, Mathers is “not permitted back at any club, ever” as a result of her actions.

Mathers issued a lengthy apology yesterday, but has yet to speak on these recent developments.

We think it’s safe to say, however, that she regrets ever taking the photo, which she claims was intended for a friend, not as public Snapchat story.

Unfortunately for her, the same Internet that helped make her famous is now doling out its unique brand of retribution.
