Meghan Markle Pregnant? Latest Appearance Sparks Fresh Round of Rumors

Could it be true?


Might it finally be the case?


Do we at last have a reason to celebrate?


These are the questions being posed by Royal Family fans around the Internet right about now, as a new round of Meghan Markle pregnant rumors are spreading throughout social media. 



The speculation is nearing an all-time high after the Duchess of Sussex attended the 100 Days to Peace Gala in London on Thursday, with all eyes fixated on her blue bespoke Jason Wu dress.


It’s a beautiful number, about that there is no doubt.


But was it covering an even more beautiful baby bump?


Based on the type of gown Markle was donning, along with the position of her hands at times and the possible protrusion of her stomach, this is what some folks now believe.


“I have a feeling Meghan Markle is pregnant,” wrote on random individual, while another noted that the former actress appears to have “glowing” skin and shinier hair than usual.


Those would both be signs of pregnancy.



And while it’s pretty much impossible to figure out such a status based on a handful of photos, we have to admit:


We sort of see where these folks are coming from.


We’re not saying Markle is pregnant for certain.


But we’ve heard more outlandish claims based on far less revealing photos.


For whatever it’s worth, Markle’s awful father has said multiple times of late that she and Prince Harry want to start a family in the near future.


There have been tabloid covers left and rght ever since the stars got married in May that alleged a child was on the way.


Heck, sometimes there’s been talk of TWO kids being on the way.



But an Us Weekly insider says folks should slow their pregnancy role in this case.


We’re not sure if this person knows anything for absolute certain, but this is what the source tells the magazine:


“Chalk this pregnancy speculation to an unflattering dress and wind.


“Meghan and Harry have a busy rest of the year. They are excited to start a family but have always wanted to focus the first year of marriage on their official work and starting to bring awareness to causes close to them.


“That is their main focus before starting a family.”



Fans do need to remember that the couple has not even been married for six months.


It does seem very likely that they will be parents at some point, but that point may be the year 2020 or 2021. Perhaps even 2022.


They are not in any rush, even if the desire is very much there.


“I’ve longed for kids since I was very, very young,” Harry told ABC News in May 2012, adding at the time:


“I’m waiting to find the right person, someone who is willing to take on the job.”


We think he found that person.


But when their lives calm down a bit and they have more time to plan out their future, that’s when we’re guessing the unprotected Royal pounding will begin.

The Four Recap: A Fresh Take on Singing Competitions?!

It’s crazy that we’re in 2018 and the broadcast networks are still throwing singing competitions our way. 


What stings with singing competitions is the sheer fact that much of the winners are never heard again, so it’s increasingly difficult to sit through them. 



Fox’s latest effort comes in the form of The Four: Battle for Stardom and the network seems to think it’s going to be the show that will successfully change the genre up. 


When the series kicked off Thursday night, the four finalists had already been chosen by the judging panel that consisted of Meghan Trainor, DJ Khaled, Charlie Walk and Sean “Diddy” Coombs. 


The four best singers in all of the land were apparently Lex Lu, Blair Perkins, Elanese Lansen and Ash Minor. It definitely felt anti-climactic to go into the episode without witnessing the journey of these four. 


But, whenever a challenger appears, they have the power to take one of the seats and send the person who is in the final four home, or something. 



The first challenger was Tyler Griffin, and he appeared on the scene to film a Jason Derulo song. It was a decent enough rendition of the song, but Charlie Walk tried to be the Simon Cowell of the group and basically said it was crap. 


The other three seemed mad because they actually liked the performance. The big flaw with the format is that ALL the judges need to give the go-ahead for the person to advance in the competition. 


It’s going to be rare to find an act that all the judges agree on, and it takes away much of the suspense. That meant Tyler’s big challenge was all for nothing and he was sent home. 



Zhavia, a 16-year-old girl, appeared as the next challenger and wasted no time in belting her heart out to Khalid’s “Location.” 


Zhavia was voted through, and that meant she got to battle one of the Four for their place in the competition. Her battle was with Elanese, and it was clear Zhavia performed better. 


The audience allowed Zhavia to stay and Elanese was sent packing, so there’s that. It didn’t help matters that Fergie was muttering as she walked around the stage. 



The next challenger was a singer-songwriter named Anthony Hall, but the judges were not feeling it and cut him off pretty much off the bat. What happened to giving everyone a chance, you guys?


Illakriss was the next person, and he was voted through to battle it out with Lex Lu, but Lex ran circles around him in the performance, and Illakriss was sent home. 


Saeed Renaud was the final competitor on the night, and we quickly learned he had already won a Grammy as a songwriter, so he had more experience than half of the judging panel. 



But Renaud’s rendition of “Run To You” by Whitney Houston was hands down the best performance of the night. The shock was off the charts. It’s no Susan Boyle moment, but it’s up there. 


Saeed got to battle it out with Blair and won the battle. 


That concluded an awkward 120 minutes long episode. There are hints of a good show, but the judges need to dial back the enthusiasm and critique the singers. 


What did you think of it?

Fresh Kid Ice Dies; 2 Live Crew Rapper Was 53

Sad news out of the music world today, as TMZ is reporting that pioneering rapper Fresh Kid Ice has passed away at the age of 53.


According to the group’s manager, the emcee passed away at a Miami-area hospital early this morning.


No cause of death was given.




Fresh Kid Ice Photo


Fresh Kid, born Chris Wong Won, was a founding member of the controversial group 2 Live Crew.


Along with DJ Mr. Mixx and Amazing Vee, Won started the collective in 1984.


They quickly notched a number of hits, and their 1989 Nasty As They Want to Be album brought the group international fame.


The record also made unlikely First Amendment crusaders of the members of Crew.


A federal district judge ruled the album obscene due to its graphic lyrics, and outlawed it in certain parts of Florida.


Along with the rest of the group, Won was arrested in Broward County in 1990 for performing songs from the album at a local sex club.




2 Live Crew Photo


The arrest and media hype that surrounded it brought even more attention to Crew, and they were eventually vindicated both in an obscenity trial and in the court of public opinion.


While his rap career may have peaked with Nasty As They Want to Be, Won remained active in the industry until the time of his death.


He released several solo albums, the most recent of which came out earlier this yeat.


Won also launched his own label, Chinaman Records.


Widely considered to be the most accomplished rapper of Asian descent in the history of hip hop, Won was regarded by many as one as a true pioneer of the genre.



Won struggled with a number of health issues throughout his life, many stemming from a 1988 car accident and a 2009 stroke that cost him mobility in his left arm.


Moments ago, his fellow rapper and collaborator Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell tweeted a tribute to Won, writing:


“My Condolence goes out to the family Chris Wong Wong Fresh Kid Ice of the 2 Live Crew who just passed away people we lost a legend.”

Teen Mom OG Recap: A Fresh Start ... or the Same Old Drama?

The Fab Four are back!


What drama awaited Amber Portwood, Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham and Catelynn Lowell on the season premiere of Teen Mom OG?



On Teen Mom OG Season 4 Episode 1, Amber’s world was rocked by a new business venture, while Maci and Ryan tried to co-parent.


Yeah. You can imagine how that went, but is the OG bad boy turning over a new leaf at last … and who is Farrah warring with now?


If you watch Teen Mom OG online, you know that Farrah conflicts are part and parcel of the entire experience, and this was no exception.


With her frozen yogurt and furniture stores launched, Abraham is now opening a children’s clothing boutique, the Sophia Laurent store.


Obviously, Sophia is cute as the day as long and we can debate whether Farrah is exploiting her or raising her right for many days.


What’s less debatable is that Farrah is flat-out harsh when it comes to her mom, the oft-maligned and attention-seeking Debra Danielsen.



Having been in therapy for awhile, together, the two clearly have issues, but this time, Farrah got aggressive, blaming it all on Debbo.


Abraham’s mom countered that she didn’t even need therapy, and that the professionals agree with her, at which point Farrah cried.


All the tears. Then she did so a second time.


Recalling the story to Michael Abraham, Farrah’s pansy dad (her words), she got choked up talking about her bitch mom (again, her words).


This whole family has issues. Speaking of people opening boutiques, Amber Portwood is starting one to, for the most noble of reasons.


The OG Teen Mom wants to give start a college fund for her daughter Leah and open up rehab centers with the proceeds from her store.



In addition to providing for her child, Amber wants to instill in her that a woman can be “a boss,” and that men don’t have to be in charge.


Portwood is sticking to her sobriety, passing on painkillers even in the wake of plastic surgery and dental work because of her history.


Between that and the ever-present conflict with Gary Shirley, Leah’s dad, over custody of the child, Amber has a whole lot of her plate.


She’s doing the best she can, though, as are Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra, whose dad Butch is back jail after a full year out of it.


Like Farrah (only less ridiculous), the two go to therapy, where Tyler revealed he has “no strength left” because of Catelynn. Oh. Ouch.


His ambivalence toward life, and lack of ability to feel joy or anger just left him feeling numb, like when he attempted suicide years ago.



He’s not at the point of suicidal thoughts again, but he did tell Cate he needed to start focusing on his own well-being as well as hers.


No doubt that’s for the best. Without self-care, how can you care for others? Here’s hoping these two find their way through this together.


Finally, on Halloween, Maci was not going to bring Bentley to see his dad, Ryan Edwards, since Ryan bailed for the last seven years.


Yes, he flaked on this for seven. Years.


Ry Guy told girlfriend MacKenzie Standifer that he was merely late last year, and in any case, he’s turning over a new leaf now dangit!


Naturally, he showed up late, but at least he showed up at all? Maci then delivered the best line: “You look like Ryan from Teen Mom!”



Very meta.


At the end of the day, Bentley, Maci, Ryan, her new husband Taylor McKinney, and their other two kids all had a great time together.


Small victories are key, even if it’s taken Edwards years to get to even that point and there’s plenty of conflict still to come.


Guaranteed.

Janet Hubert: Original Aunt Viv Goes OFF Over Fresh Prince of Bel Air Reunion!

Janet Hubert, the actress who played the stylish, stunning, iconic original Aunt Vivian on Will Smith’s hit sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel Air, is officially pissed.


She’s also officially the only person on the planet who isn’t thrilled by the prospect of a Fresh Prince reunion.



A couple of days ago, Alfonso Ribeiro, the actor who played Will’s dorky cousin Carlton, shared this lovely photo on Instagram.



There’s the bulk of the cast of the show — Tatyana Ali (who played little Ashley), Alfonso, Karyn Parsons (Hilary), Will, Daphne Reid (the replacement Aunt Viv), and Joseph Marcell (Geoffrey).


The only person missing is Uncle Phil, the amazing James Avery who tragically passed away in 2013.


Alfonso noted his absence in the caption, writing “Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family. Wishing that James Avery was still with us to make this complete.”


So sweet, right?


Yeah, Janet doesn’t think so.



Janet, who left the show after three seasons due to “creative differences” (more on that in a bit), shared a scathing Facebook post about the reunion, just a really, incredibly nasty commentary on the photo.


“I know the media hoe Alphonso Ribero has posted his so called reunion photo,” she began the since-deleted post. “Folks keep telling me about it.”


“He was always the ass wipe for Will. There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.”


She added that she’s “not offended in the least” by the photo, but “it does however prompt me to take some meetings in Hollywood to pitch my memoir PERFECTION IS NOT A SITCOM MOM, and tell of the behind the scenes story before I leave this earth.”



It makes sense that Janet would lash out like this — she’s had issues with Will Smith and Alfonso Ribeiro for literal decades at this point.


Funnily enough, this isn’t even the first time she’s referred to someone as a “media hoe.” Stacey Dash got those same honors last year.


We may never know exactly what happened between Janet and the rest of the Fresh Prince cast, but we do know that in a 1993 interview, Will said that “no matter what, to her I’m just the Antichrist.”


He said that she wanted the show to be “The Aunt Viv of Bel Air Show,” and that she was mad that he got his own show so early in his career when she’d been acting for years.



In a 2009 stand-up show, Alfonso said that Janet “went nuts,” and that the cast felt like a family but she “ruined that, and she made it very difficult for us to work.”


But Janet has said that her issue with Will is that when it was time to negotiate pay raises for the cast, he refused to stand up for them, reportedly telling her “My deal is my deal and y’all’s deal is y’all’s deal.”


While we can’t know who’s to blame for the issues, it’s clear that Janet is the only one with problems — the rest of the cast clearly still love and respect each other.


What a shame.

Will Smith Reunites With Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Cast: See the AWESOME Pic!

Will Fresh Prince of Bel-Air stage a comeback in a revival series?


That has been a huge question the mind of fans worldwide since the iconic NBC series wrapped up after six seasons in 1996. 



Although the chances of a revival are slim, the cast decided to get caught up, and we have a picture of the momentous occasion for you. 


The picture includes Will Smith, Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Daphne Reid and Joseph Marcell and Alfonso Ribeiro. 



Ribeiro shared the picture with a touching shout-out to his dearly departed co-star, James Avery, who passed away with complications during open heart surgery in 2014. 


“Always amazing to spend an afternoon with my Fresh Prince family,” Ribeiro began.  


“Wishing that James Avery was still with us to make this complete.”



As you can expect, Janet Hubert was not part of the reunion. 


Janet originally played Vivian on the comedy series, but things went south when she and Will Smith became embroiled in a very public feud. 


It must have messed with the morale on set because she was swiftly replaced with Daphne Reid who took on the role for the final three seasons of the show. 



It seems that the feud is still very much ongoing when you consider the fact that Hubert took the time to trash Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who boycotted the Oscars last year. 


That was around the time the Oscars were being slammed after the lack of diversity in the nominations. 


The chances of Will and Janet fixing their friendship are pretty much non-existent.
