Kate Middleon Cradles Prince Louis in Rare (and Adorable!) Photo of Son

Brace yourselves, celebrity gossip lovers.


It’s about to get really doggone cute in here!




For the first time since the christening of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s third child in July, a new photo of the six-month-old Royal Baby has been released to the public.


In the image down below – which has gone viral for very understandable and adorable reasons – little Louis grabs hold of the hand of his grandfather, Prince Charles.


The scene first appeared in the BBC One documentary, Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70.


As you’re about to see, Middleton is all smiles in a navy-and-white polka-dot dress as she cradles a baby who looks to have much darker hair than siblings George and Charlotte.


This isn’t the clearest image of Louis himself, of course, but we’ll take what we can get when it comes to this special cutie…



Kate and William are arguably the most famous parents on the planet.


They welcomed Prince George on July 22, 2013 and then his sister on May 2, 2015.


Louis then entered this familial picture on April 23 of this year.


We’re not about to compare the children or anything, but it does look like each was blessed with a pair of very pinch-worthy cheeks.



In the aforementioned documentary, meanwhile, William talks openly his father, stating that Prince Charles is “brilliant” with his grandchildren.


It’s an unusual glimpse into the most fascinating and often-discussed family in the world.


At one point in the special, William also says he wishes that his dad would slow down enough to be able to spare more time for them.


“It’s something I’m working more heavily on, put it that way,” Williamt tells BBC One this week, adding:


“I think he does have time for it, but I would like him to have more time with the children.”



Charles’ wife, Camilla, also chimed in on this topic.


She said the following about her husband and how he acts with the young people close in his life:


“He will get down on his knees and crawl about with them for hours, you know making funny noises and laughing and my grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him.


“He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices and I think children really appreciate that.”



On a related note, Charles is about to become a grandfather for the fourth time because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will welcome their first kid in the spring.


(It’s true! Meghan Markle is pregnant! Just in case you hadn’t heard somehow.)


We don’t know whether Meghan and Harry will have a boy or a girl, but we hear she is due on May 2, 2019.


Indeed, that would mean she would share a birthday with cousin Charlotte.


How cool would that be?!?

Sarah Silverman: I Let Louis C.K. Masturbate in Front of Me

Sorry, Sarah Silverman, but…


… cum again?


(Okay, truthfully, we’re sorry to our readers here.)



The comedian has made some very gross headlines by appearing Monday morning on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio show and speaking on her friendship with Louis C.K.


Back in November, of course, C.K. was accused of five women of sexual misconduct.


They all said that the famous stand-up jerked off in their presence, an allegation that C.K. later acknowledged as true.


Talking to Stern, Silverman sort of defended her friend’s actions (or at least his mindset at the time of these actions) by telling a personal and disgusting story:


“I don’t know if I’m going to regret saying this,” she said. “I’ve known Louis forever, I’m not making excuses for him, so please don’t take this that way. We are peers. We are equals.


“When we were kids, and he asked if he could masturbate in front of me, sometimes I’d go, ‘F-c yeah I want to see that!’ …


“It’s not analogous to the other women that are talking about what he did to them. He could offer me nothing. We were only just friends.


“So sometimes, yeah, I wanted to see it, it was amazing. Sometimes I would say, ‘F-cking no, gross,’ and we got pizza.”



Well… okay then.


Not sure what else to say about that.


C.K. pleasuring himself in front of a woman who admittedly wants him to do so is fine of course. 


Especially, as Silverman notes here, when the two people involved are peers.


But C.K. pleasuring himself in front of women who did not give their consent and over whom he held power is unethical and wildly inappropriate.



Silverman’s point here, however, is that C.K. may not have realized this upon yanking out his junk in front of his victims.


“I’m not saying what he did was okay,” she said to Stern, explaining:


“I’m just saying at a certain point, when he became influential, not even famous, but influential in the world of comedy, it changes.


“He felt like he was the same person, but the dynamic was different and it was not okay.”


It was definitely not okay.



“I’m not saying everyone should embrace Louis again,” Silverman continued.


“I believe he has remorse. I just want him to talk about it on stage. He’s going to have to find his way or not find his way.”


Louis, of course, has now returned to the stage, despite many people thinking he hasn’t learned any lessons; suffered any consequences; or taking any steps to make anyone believe he regrets his actions.


Said C.K. in a statement after the aforementioned five women came forward:


These stories are true.


At the time, I said to myself that what I did was O.K. because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true.


But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them.


The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them.


Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions.



One of the women who sat and watched C.K. masturbate said the experience discouraged her from pursuing a career in comedy.


It ruined the entire entertainment industry for her.


Concluded C.K. in his statement:


I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position.


I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn’t want to hear it..


There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with.


I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work.


The hardest regret to live with is what you’ve done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them…


I’ve brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother.


I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen.

Norm MacDonald Bashes #MeToo, Defends Louis C.K., Roseanne Barr

Well, folks, it turns out there’s more to Norm MacDonald than just live-tweeting play-by-play updates of whatever sporting event he happens to be watching at the moment.


It seems he also has other interests, such as pissing off the entirety of Twitter and torpedoing his own career.




Norm MacDonald


Despite the fact that his post-SNL television career has consisted of one flop after another, Norm is giving TV another shot with a new Netflix talk show.


And apparently, he’s dying to keep his cancelation streak going because dude just shot himself in the foot about a dozen times in a single interview with The Hollywood Reporter.


Norm was asked a series of softball questions with very easy answers and he managed to strike out on each one.


Asked about the #MeToo movement, MacDonald had this to say:




Norm MacDonald Image


“I’m happy the #MeToo movement has slowed down a little bit. It used to be, ‘One hundred women can’t be lying.’


“And then it became, ‘One woman can’t lie.’ And that became, ‘I believe all women.’ And then you’re like, ‘What?’ Like, that Chris Hardwick guy I really thought got the blunt end of the stick there.”


As you may recall, Hardwick was accused of abuse by his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Dykstra.


Though no one really knows what went on in that relationship aside from those two, old Norm decided to take that leap for reasons that defy logic.



From there, Norm expressed some concerns about the perceived excesses of #MeToo:


“I do think that at some point it will end with a completely innocent person of prominence sticking a gun in his head and ending it. That’s my guess,” he said.


That led to a lengthy discussion of Roseanne Barr’s racism and Louis C.K.’s habit of masturbating in front of unsuspecting women.


“And Roseanne was so broken up [after her show’s reboot was canceled] that I got Louis to call her, even though Roseanne was very hard on Louis before that. But she was just so broken and just crying constantly,” MacDonald said.



“There are very few people that have gone through what they have, losing everything in a day. Of course, people will go, ‘What about the victims?’


“But you know what? The victims didn’t have to go through that.”


Yep. He went there.


Now, it’s worth pointing out that in no way did Louis C.K. or Roseanne lose everything.



In fact, they both enjoy lives of almost unimaginable wealth and privilege.


Comedians like to think of themselves as some sort of secret society that’s too dark and impenetrable for the rest of the world to ever understand, so Norm probably equates their inability to continue performing with death, or some such pretentious BS.


You’d think if MacDonald really feels that strongly about practicing his craft he’d be more careful about not stepping on landmines the week that his new show premieres.


But who knows, maybe this is some sort of Andy Kaufman-esque performance art piece and the whole world is too dumb to realize Norm’s not just being an assh-le.


We kid, Norm is definitely just being an assh-le.
