Kourtney Kardashian Teases Thirsty Fans with New Lingerie Pic

Kourtney Kardashian shared her enthusiasm for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show like any diehard fan would: cosplay.

Not to be confused with her Halloween costume, Kourt donned a different lingerie look just hours ahead of this year’s show.

The results are jaw-dropping. Take a look:

Kourt captioned this photo: “Can’t wait for tonight.”

She was referring to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

2018 seems to exist outside of the normal rules of time, so we understand that it might be hard to accept that Halloween was just two weeks ago.

Famously, she and her sisters went as Victoria’s Secret Angels — because of course they did.

In this pic, however, Kourtney is wearing a slightly different outfit, both in terms of the lingerie portion and in terms of the wings.

For contrast, here is the look that she was sporting for Halloween:

As you can see, the “wings” are very different in the Halloween costume.

And the lingerie is a bit more revealing.

Those outfits were, of course, supplied by Victoria’s Secret.

(The Kardashian brand is still intensely powerful, folks, and any company would jump at the chance to have these women don their products)

The picture up top is of Kourtney getting hyped for the actual runway show.

But on All Hallow’s Eve, the Kardashian clan put on a runway show of their very own.

The women — excuse us, the angels — looked positively radiant in their Halloween costumes.

“Thank you Victoria’s Secret for sending us actual runway looks and real wings to borrow for the night!!!” Kim gushed.

“OMG a dream come true!” Kim continued. “Got to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel for the night!”

Kim acknowledged that her supermodel sister was no stranger to the look: “[And] Kendall got good practice lol.”

Kendall’s non-compete agreement with La Perla lingerie had thankfully run out in time for her to participate in this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

(Which, honestly, makes it kind of awkward — don’t do a group costume if the costume idea is just the day job of one member of the group)

Kourtney, for her part, crackd a joke about her height.

“I opened the show,” Kourtney shared on Halloween.

“Thank you [Victoria’s Secret] for making me the first ever 5’1” angel,” she joked.

In case you had forgotten, the Kardashian women are extraordinarily tiny.

(Even the “tall” ones, like Khloe and Kendall at 5-foot-10 each, only look tall because their sisters are so short)

The Kardashians brought some added attention — or at least a timely reminder — of the real Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Unfortunately, the show managed to stir up some controversy this year.

A recurring topic regarding the fashion industry is a glaring lack of diversity. This year, the brand answered that question very poorly.

When asked about the idea of models on the runway with different ages, or body types, or who might be transgender or disabled, the Chief Marketing Officer put his foot in his mouth.

“No. No, I don’t think we should,” he said. “Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy.”

That did not go over well, and he has since apologized.

Kourtney’s latest photo comes as fires are ravaging Southern California, even reaching as far as some Kardashian properties.

Multiple celebrities have had their homes totally consumed by raging wildfires.

With this year’s drought, the fire continues to burn unchecked — and with climate change, these devastating wildfires will only grow more frequent.

We sincerely hope that the fire can soon be contained and extinguished.

In the mean time, many find Kourt’s photos to be a welcome distraction from the horrifying inferno.

Leah Messer Teases Podcast: I"m Aiming to Inspire!

Leah Messer has a lot to say.

And she hopes you will want to listen.

The veteran Teen Mom cast member has spoken to Us Weekly about a brand new project that she really hopes will make a difference in the lives of her fans.

It"s a podcast.

But it"s different than the podcast made famous by fellow MTV colleague Kailyn Lowry. 

In what way? And what will Messer"s podcast be titled?

Scroll down to find out!

1. Let’s Podcast!

Messer is making her move into this ever-growing medium. She tells Us Weekly that new episodes of her podcast will drop every Wednesday.

2. What Will It Be Called?

Life Reboot. What do you think? We like it! You can’t say you aren’t curious to hear what a podcast with such a title will be about.

3. Can She Sum It Up? What is She Trying to Accomplish with It?

“[It’s] a life transformational podcast,” the 26-year old explains to this tabloid. “Of course it’s fun … but it’s also inspirational, aspirational and motivational.”

4. Wait… Doesn’t Kailyn Lowry Have a Podcast?!?

Yes, it’s called “Coffee Convos” and she co-hosts it with Lindsie Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best. Does this mean Leah is trying to start a rivalry with her fellow MTV personality?

5. No, No, No, Leah Explains

We’ll let Messer outline the differences: “Kail’s is day-to-day conversational and ours is more about transforming your life and learning how to become the best version of yourself. Even though they’re different, we love to support one another. I was on Kail’s and she was just on ours … the third episode I think.”

6. Who Might Appear?

Leah isn’t dropping any names, but: “I think I’ll definitely have other Teen Mom stars and other … people that [manager] Lindsay [Rielly] and I both know on,” she previews. “We have an exciting lineup of guests for the next couple of months.”

Alaskan Bush People Finale Trailer Teases Fire, Ami"s Health, and a Wedding!

In real time, Matt Brown has checked into rehab. That is a brave and smart decision. On television, the Browns have other concerns.

Alaskan Bush People Season 8 has scarcely begun … but it is almost over. This season ends on Sunday.

But we have the season finale promo trailer for you, promising danger, medical news, and a wedding.

The official Twitter account for Discovery"s Alaskan Bush People tweeted this promo for the season finale.

"We"re not ready to say goodbye," the tweet laments.

No one is — like we said, we"re only a few episodes into the season.

"Join us for the season finale," the tweet invites fans and followers. "Sunday at 9p on Discovery and Discovery GO."

Time passes so quickly these days.

Within the promo trailer itself, the family faces a new menace as they battle the elements in Washington.

"We"ve had floods," Gabe lists.

Gabe continues, saying: "We"ve had road issues."

"And now," he laments. "Fire."

"The fire seems very serious," viewers hear.

"I"ve never seen that much smoke," Bird confesses.

Those of us who have been around massive wildfires can attest — it"s a unique experience. And it is not a fun one.

Bird explains: "The fires are just that close."

Watching the trailer, fans can see that for themselves.

We just hope that Ami Brown was in California. That much smoke is not good for a lung cancer patient.

Speaking of Ami, the finale shows her return from her checkup.

"How"d it go?" the family asks.

"We finally got the results in," Billy begins.

His voice sounds a little uneasy. Whether it"s genuine emotion or played up for the cameras (or both) is difficult to say.

"Everything is, uh …" Billy continues.

Naturally, this is a teaser trailer., so his words cut off there.

Fans do not get to hear those results until they watch the episode.

That said, Ami"s cancer was reportedly in remission as of last July.

We expect that they"ll deliver good news after the show plays up the tension.

Ami"s health is not the only (hopefully) good news to which viewers will be treated.

"And a new Brown joins the family," one of the trailer"s internal cards teases.

We know, of course, that Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha back in August.

At the time, we had hoped that viewers would get to see this special occasion. Clearly, they will.

Additionally, that card"s phrasing — referring to Rhain as another Brown — is further confirmation that Rhain will take Noah"s last name.

Hopefully, that will lay those nastily persistent fan rumors to rest.

Not every family, even on reality television, has to be consumed by feuding just because that is more entertaining to viewers.

We look forward to the finale — and to even more of the Brown family.

Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant Promo Teases New Episodes, New Struggles

Back in June, MTV gave the green light for more episodes of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant.

Now, the reality series is just weeks away from returning for Season 1b — and we already have a promo video.

Pregnancy was only the prologue for these teens. Their struggles have only bgun.

"Last season, five moms-to-be literally mommed up," the narrator says, making a slightly awkward play on words.

Like we mentioned, the new episodes are just weeks away.

The voiceover continues: "Now, on Monday, October 15, Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant is back."

"The babies have arrived," the voice declares.

Then we get a tease of the challenges to come.

"But," the voiceover asks. "How did these moms handle what comes next?"

Obviously, some of these young mothers will handle things better than others. 

That"s how life works — and that"s what draws viewers to the show.

The voiceover repeats: "Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant returns with all new episodes on Monday, October 15 on MTV."

They really don"t want people to miss the premiere date, folks.

The returning stars are Lexi Tatman, Ashley Jones, Jade Cline, Kayla Sessler, and Brianna Jaramillo.

Obviously, since they"re moms now, we"ll also see their babies again: Tobias, Holly, Kloie, Izaiah, and Braeson.

Viewers expect to see a number of things this season, as Starcasm predicts.

For one thing, Kayla finally breaking up with Stephan.

Will Jade and Sean confirm that they"re back together, as rumor suggests, or will viewers instead see confirmation that they"re over?

Then there"s Lexi and Kyler trying their best to make this work and of course Brianna gettled settled in Oregon.

And then there"s Ashley, easily one of the most memorable and controversial figures we"ve seen on Teen Mom.

Remember that video of her slapping herself beofre accusing Bar of being violent towards her?

Her encounters with Bar"s mother, Shen, eventually drove Shen to quit the series … again.

Ashley joined the ever-growing ranks of reality stars who have feuded with Briana DeJesus even though they"re not even on the same show (and yes, it was over Javi Marroquin).

She also declared on Twitter that people should do their own research into whether the Earth is flat — because she believes that the government and textbooks have warped people"s minds.

Ashley tried to roast people, saying that they thought she was a "dumb b–ch" for her statement. But … nobody"s disputing her self-characterization, there.

Speaking of Ashley, Bar"s life has only been somewhat less dramatic.

He got arrested again. Then there"s the appeal for his brother Troy"s murder conviction. Bar"s foster sister was shot.

On a lighter (and, joking aside, considerably less upsetting) note, Bar released his new rap song. We do not know if, uh, that will be featured on Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant.

But we"ll all find out together in less than three weeks.

Omarosa Snaps on Today, Teases Donald Trump N-Word Tapes

Omarosa Manigault Newman continued her irritating, self-serving and borderline vomit-inducing media blitz on Monday morning.

The former Apprentice contestant, who managed to land a role as a White House advisor simply because she was… well… she was a former Apprentice contestant, stopped by Meet the Press this weekend and dropped a rather huge bombshell.

It turns out Omarosa recorded Chief of Staff John Kelly"s firing of her in the Situation Room, releasing the tape to the public in order to save her reputation.

(Note to Omerosa: It"s WAY too late for that.)

And while the public continues to digest this stunning breach of national security, Omarosa appeared as a guest on The Today Show on Monday in order to promote her book about her time in the administration.

Asked by Savannah Guthrie when she thinks the President "lies often," Omarosa replied “Oh absolutely, in fact …”

“How long have you known that?” Guthrie jumped in to inquire, to which Omarosa replied:

 “There was a report that said that he lied almost 4,000 lies in the last…"

And then Guthrie pressed again: “Have you known that he is a liar as you say?”

Manigault Newman answered, “Well, absolutely.”

“Why did you work for him?” Guthrie fired back, barely giving Omarosa time to respond.

“Savannah, slow down. I’m gonna your question," Omarosa said. "Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ve got all the time you need. You don’t have to ask 10 questions in one second. It’s okay.”

Gurthie was trying to pin Omarosa down in order to basically expose her at no better than Trump, as someone happy to lie and manipulate and backstab…

… until she became the person who was (allegedly) lied to, manipulated and stabbed in the back.

Omarosa goes on to say in the video featured here that she never expected Trump to "lie to the country" as he has so often done, prior to teasing the eventual release of more tapes.

These tapes, she says, feature Trump using racial epithets during his time on The Apprentice.

“He was talking about some African Americans in the production during the course of The Apprentice, which is unacceptable," she said on Today, adding:

"Here’s the thing. Why don’t we ask Donald Trump a simple question – ‘Donald J. Trump, have you ever used the N-word?’ = and allow him to respond?

"Because the people who have this tape intend to release this tape.”

As you might expect, President Trump had a few things to say in response to Omarosa"s accusations:

SIGH.

You know people say certain situations are win-win?

This would be a prime example of something that is lose-lose.

Elsewhere in this interview, Omarosa plays a recording of her first phone call with Trump after her firing.

Alaskan Bush People Season 8 Trailer Teases New Adventure

Sunday evening, on August 19, Alaskan Bush People fans will finally get to view the long-awaited Season 8.

We know that the family is now residing in a Washington homestead. We also know that Season 8 will focus on Ami Brown"s cancer.

Now we finally have a teaser trailer for the new season — and it"s teasing a lot.

Within the clip, Billy Brown announces: "It’s a miracle is what it is."

"We’ve gone through a lot of adversity," the family patriarch admits.

He describes how a gloom had set in over the family.

"It was like everything was closing in on us," Billy syas. "Darkness all around and it was over."

"Then," Billy says. "Washington came into view."

That"s a little melodramatic, but it does set the stage.

The words might be poetic, but the feeling of impending doom was real. Ami Brown"s ongoing cancer battle is serious business, and what forced the family to leave Alaska in the first place.

But now they"ve settled into their new expansive property, and Ami seems invigorated.

"It’s almost like being born again," Ami says. "And starting life a new."

Cancer is now a part of her life. She will need to be carefully screened every few months. Vigilance is the key to survival.

"The good Lord has given me a second chance," Ami says.

Billy Brown purchased the 435 acre homestead, and he cannot stop gushing about the new digs.

"We have an actual ranch: barns, orchard, horses, cattle," Billy says.

Billy then takes on a more somber tone and says; "It is a test."

"We can’t afford to fail on this," Billy announces.

He cannot emphasize enough the scope of uprooting the family multiple times before settling in Washington.

"This is definitely the biggest adventure we’ve ever done," Billy tells the audience.

The teaser video is full of other content — including a look at Bear Brown running and also falling in the wilderness.

He has a lot of energy. Too much, perhaps.

Fans already know that he was hospitalized a few months ago after sustaining an injury in the woods — and perhaps viewers will get to see how that went down.

The teaser also shows Rain spending time with her mother, and Birdy firing a gun.

Additionally, we see the shoddy rural roads that appear to give the family a hard time. But hey, after driving in L.A. for months on end, they probably welcome the change.

We"re being teased with Ami"s health and recovery, a family in transition, new woods, a new home, and a new adventure.

There is one thing that we"re not sure if the new season will show at all.

There have been persistent reports and rumors that some of the folks in the little Washington hamlet in which the Brown family has settled are less than thrilled with the family"s presence.

Apparently they don"t like "Hollywood big-shots" in their town. Or the omnipresent cameras. And it may be that they don"t particularly care for the Brown family themselves.

That"s too bad, because Alaskan Bush People has a lot of fans.

August 19 can"t get here soon enough!

Abby Lee Miller Teases the Return of Dance Moms!!!

Earlier this month, Abby Lee Miller had to undergo a second emergency surgery as part of her ongoing battle with cancer.

But she did share some good news … though it does not directly pertain to her health.

She has announced — sort of — that Dance Moms is getting an eighth season despite its cancellation. Is it true?!

In a birthday post to young Dance Moms stars Lilliana Ketchman and Elliana Walmsley, Miller lets slip some exciting information.

“Happy Birthday to you two!!! @lillykofficial & @ellianawalmsley_,” Miller writes.

She adds a note, remarking on their growth: “Do those coats still fit?”

But this is where it gets less cheesey and much more interesting.

“There is a Rumor about Season 8,” Miller writes. “We might be headed some place cold!”

The last that anyone had really heard, the series had been cancelled. That was in May. It sounds like Lifetime has changed its tune.

“Anybody have thoughts on this?” Miller asks, before tagging: “#aldcla #aldc #abbyleemiller #dancemoms #abbylee #thebestisyettocome”

Earlier in June, Miller had teased that something good was coming on Instagram.

“I ‘heard’ some amazing news today!” Miller wrote. “Can anybody take a guess at what it was?”

Though the most obvious reply would be that it was something positive regarding her harrowing battle with Burkitt lymphoma, many fans immediately latched onto a different idea.

Now it sounds like those fans were correct.

Assuming that Abby Lee Miller’s apparent announcement on Saturday was true, that is.

But it would be very strange for her to make such a post if it is not true.

Abby Lee Miller’s cancer diagnosis came as a shock.

She had only just completed her sentence in prison and was staying at a halfway house.

She had to undergo her first emergency surgery after a strange and rapidly-spreading paralysis began to impair her movements.

It was only during surgery, which doctors were performing in order to relieve pressure that they believe that an infection was causing her on her spine, that they discovered that the culprit was worse.

Burkitt lymphoma, more often seen in the developing world and usually seen in children, was afflicting Miller.

The bad news is that it is the kind of cancer that spreads quickly.

The good news is that this particular fast-spreading cancer tends to respond quickly to treatments — and, though the rate is somewhat lower in adults, Burkitt lymphoma usually has a 90% recovery rate.

After two intense back surgeries, Miller’s outlook sounds like it is mostly positive.

She also shared that she has begun chemotherapy.

In an Instagram post, she wrote: “Hair today, gone tomorrow” and tagged it “#chemo.”

Though she is not yet exhibiting any signs of hair loss in her Instagram photos, it is a known and feared side-effect that can occur in some people while undergoing certain forms of chemotherapy.

We hope that Miller will, at least, get to keep her thick, curly hair as she undergoes this harrowing battle.

But if she does lose her hair temporarily, it is ultimately what many cancer survivors consider a small price to pay for their lives.

Fans have their fingers crossed that this news about Season 8 of Dance Moms is real.

But they should remember that Miller still has one hell of a battle for her health and her life ahead of her.

We’ve been critical of some of Miller’s behaviors and choices in the past, but she doesn’t deserve this terrible battle with cancer. No one does.

We hope that she makes a full recovery soon and that it is as painless as possible.

Jinger Duggar to Give Birth Very "Soon," Reliable Source Teases

Brace yourselves, reality TV fans and celebrity gossip followers:

Another member of the Duggar family will be joining us in the near future.

In fact, Jinger Duggar may very well be in labor right at this very moment.

While she isn’t due until early next month, this seems like a strong possibility because Jinger’s husband, Jeremy Vuolo, shared a new photo of him and his wife on Instagram.

In it, both halves of this semi-famous couple are smiling excitedly, while Jinger’s baby bump is perhaps more prominent than ever.

Especially telling, though? Jeremy’s accompanying caption to this sweet image.

“ETA: Soon,” he simply wrote.

ETA, for those unaware, stands for Estimated Time of Arrival, meaning the couple’s first child may be here any day now.

EEEK! How exciting, right?!?

For her part, Jinger has been keeping fans across the Internet well apprised of her status and her pregnancy journey in general.

She’s taken a fun and unusual approach to sharing baby bump pictures, doing so at various stages over the past nine months and comparing her fetus each time to different kinds of fruit and vegetables.

In terms of its size, that is.

In the image immediately above, for example, Jinger explained that the child was akin to a cantaloupe around the 34-week mark.

She also used bell peppers and pineapples in the past to depict this same fact to her many Instagram followers.

“Praying for an easy birth!,” wrote one Jinger follower in response to this new photo, while another chimed in as follows:

“You guys look so happy. You are both gonna make amazing parents.:

Jinger and Jeremy aren’t just getting set to welcome their first kid, meanwhile.

They also may be moving to Los Angeles and anchoring their very own reality show at some point down the line.

Why else would Jeremy have recently been accepted to study at a divinity school in this California city?

Jinger, you likely recall, became the first Duggar woman of her generation to permanently move away from Arkansas when she shifted to Texas two years ago.

We wouldn’t go so far as to call her a rebel, but she certainly has shown signs of being a tad bit rebelious.

Lastly, in case you’ve forgotten, Jinger and Jeremy will be greeting a daughter when the big day finally arrives. 

They made this major reveal in April, saying at the time:

“We are so happy to announce that we are having a little baby girl!”

“We could not be more excited and are eagerly anticipating meeting our little lady this summer.

“We especially love thinking forward and realizing that she will have excellent role models in both of her grandmothers, who cannot wait to shower her with love.”

Good luck, Jinger!

We wish you a pain-free labor… or at least as close to one as possible!

Shahs of Sunset: Trailer Teases Drama, Loss, and a Wedding!

Shahs of Sunset is returning for its seventh dramatic season, and we have the trailer.

We already knew that Mercedes Javid married David Feight, but this video teases plenty of wedding drama. Also, other drama.

And some sadness. And a couple of fights, because hey, why not?

Before we get into MJ"s fun misadventures (and the sadness), let"s cover the roster.

First, the returning stars:

Reza Farahan, Mercedes "MJ" Javid, Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi and Mike Shouhed are all back.

And we"ll be seeing more of Destiney Rose, who is still a newbie on the series.

Then there"s the new cast member, Nema Vand, who describes himself as a "white-washed Persian." Hey, so long as he"s the one saying it, right?

Remember when we openly questioned if Asa Soltan Rahmati was done with the series?

She"s sticking around … but only in a recurring capacity. It happens.

The bride-to-be is very excited about her wedding to her long-time lover, but she is the first to acknowledge that she had once ruled it out entirely.

"Remember me?" MJ asks the camera. "The one who said never?"

In case you"ve forgotten, the trailer cuts to footage of MJ saying exactly what she thinks of marriage — a stressful and expensive prelude to divorce.

Clearly, she has now changed her tune.

"Guess what, mother f–kers?" She asks. Don"t worry — it"s rhetorical. "I’m getting married!"

She sure is!

While we knew that she tied the knot already, this trailer shows us that the wedding didn"t exactly go smoothly.

Meanwhile, Mike Shouhed has a heart-to-heart with his mother.

Sometimes, when others reach life milestones, you realize that your life hasn"t led where you had imagined that it would.

He laments that he is not married with children already, as that is where he believes that he should be at this point in his life.

(We"re guessing that he"s really regretting cheating right about now)

His mother assures him that he"ll find the right person in time.

Oh, speaking of major life decisions, Reza Aslan and his husband, Adam Neely, seem to have hit a bump in their relationship.

The trailer hints that these two are at odds over whether to have children — with Reza being against it.

But … we need to circle back to MJ.

The trailer certainly does.

MJ"s lowest point in this trailer is dealing with her father"s death.

Unfortunately, that sorrow becomes almost comical — almost — as her attempt to scatter his ashes over the water goes awry.

The wind blows some of her father"s own remains back into her face, which is unpleasant on many levels. All levels, really.

Reza doesn"t take it well, either.

For the record, it is our understanding that Federal law prohibits any spreading of human remains along any coastlines unless you are three miles or more out at sea.

So … that"s another layer to this very uncomfortable scene.

MJ has more to do, by the way.

It looks like we"ll be seeing at least one fight between MJ and GG.

And then we get just a tease of some sort of mini-catastrophe at her wedding, which is every bride"s nightmare.

The trailer is punctuated perfectly by Reza"s "what happened?"

Shahs of Sunset is a gift, folks.

Thomas Markle Breaks Silence, Teases Royal Pregnancy

The truth continues to come out, Royal Family aficionados!

First, a few days ago, Meghan Markle shared her true feelings on life as Prince Harry’s wife.

Now, in an interview with Good Morning Britain, Meghan Marke’s mysterious father has shared his true feelings regarding what transpired in the days leading up Meghan becoming Prince Harry’s wife.

That is, how does Thomas Markle feel about missing the Royal Wedding?!?

“I was very upset,” he said on Monday in a lengthy chat, adding of the occasion and his non-role in it:

“The unfortunate thing for me now is that I’m a footnote in one of the greatest moments in history rather than the dad walking her down the aisle. That really upsets me somewhat.”

Thomas, of course, was anything but a footnote in the week or so prior to May 19.

First, he was caught in a paparazzi picture scandal, forced to admit that he paid photographers to take flattering snapshots of him.

This would be frowned upon anywhere, but such an attention-seeking move could not be more of anathema to Kensington Palace.

“I thought [it] would be a nice way of improving my look, but obviously that all went to hell. I feel bad about it,” Thomas said on air of the scandal.

“I apologize for it and that’s all I can do. I can’t do much about it. That was a mistake.”

Following this mistake, Thomas actually suffered a heart attack.

He has led a private life in Mexico, very far from the spotlight, for decades… and all the stress and tension of his daughter marrying into Royalty finally got to him physically.

“I couldn’t get over the fact that that had happened,” Thomas said today of the photo scandal and subsequent outrage, explaining:

“All of that stuff was working on me. I’ve got a bit of a heart condition. This pushed me a little further to the point where I had heart palpitations… I had a heart attack.”

Markle’s life was not necessarily in danger.

But doctors did advise him to rest.

Combined with that advice and his embarrassment of the aforementioned scandal, Meghan Markle’s dad did NOT attend her wedding.

“They were disappointed,” he said of Meghan and Harry’s reaction to this news.

“Meghan cried… They both said, ‘Take care of yourself. We’re really worried about you.‘ They said the important thing is that I get better.”

In Thomas’ place, Prince Charles walked Markle down the aisle.

“I was honored. I can’t think of a better replacement than someone like Prince Charles,” Thomas now says.

“He looked very handsome and my daughter looked beautiful with him. I was jealous. I wish I had been there. I wish it’d been me, but thank god he was there and thank him for that.”

Other points of interest in this interview with Thomas Markle:

– He has not yet met Harry, but has talked to him on the phone.

– Meghan told him during maybe their third conversation about her new boyfriend that the guy indeed, was, Prince Harry.

– She said they had to refer to him as “H” to keep this secret for awhile.

– Thomas gave Harry “permission” to marry his daughter after Harry vowed to never lay a hand on Meghan.

– Is Markle lucky to have found a Prince? Of course, but…

“My daughter’s certainly a prize for him as well. He’s great. He’s an interesting guy, but my daughter’s been a princess since the day she was born.”

What a great quote.

Thomas was also asked about everyone’s favorite new gossip item?

Is Meghan Markle pregnant? If not, when will she be pregnant?!?

She’s wanted children for a long time, yes,” he said of the Duchess.

“And when she met Harry and she spoke about how much she loves him, there’s gotta be a child in the making soon.”

Yes! We knew it! We totally and completely knew it!

How exciting.

Chris Harrison Teases "Most Ridiculous Fight" in History on Bachelorette Premiere

DING! DING! DING!

According to Chris Harrison, it is about to be on next Monday night.

Between whom? This is the question we’re now left to ponder.

Earlier this week, the reality show host with the absolute most stopped and talked to Entertainment Tonight about the May 28 premiere of The Bachelorette.

It will kick off at 8/7c on ABC, but it sounds as if we ought to say the show will PUNCH off instead.

Just consider how Harrison teased the premiere in his chat with the aforementioned gossip and news outlet:

“Maybe the most ridiculous fight you’ve ever seen in the history of our show, which is saying a lot.

It’s just magnificent to watch.

“It’s going to be one of those [seasons where] you’re watching through your fingers because you’re embarrassed for everybody involved, but you can’t stop watching.”

Now THAT’S what we call a tease.

Is it any wonder Chris Harrison is the very best at what he does?

View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Season 14: Who Are Becca’s Men?

While recent The Bachelorette spoilers have actually revealed the final four men chosen by Becca Kufrin, ABC announced the FULL list of all 28 suitors on Thursday.

We’ve posted their official portraits above and referenced their official occupations.

There are multiple football players… one sports analyst… a guy who plays the banjo… and some dude who says he’s a social media participant.

We somehow doubt the latter is involved in this fight.

“The arrivals are great because, for the guys, it’s very much out of our comfort zone to make these grand entrances,” Harrison also said of the premiere, adding:

“We make fools of ourselves, that’s what we do. And some of these guys do just that.”

Kufrin, of course, has quite the backstory when it comes to this franchise.

She was proposed to by Arie on the season finale of the latest Bachelor season — and then dumped by Arie on the After the Rose Special.

Becca responded in that moment the same way anyone in her situation would respond (Are you f-cking kidding me, she asked Arie many times), but has since handled the public break-up with maturity and grace.

“He’s a good person, I don’t think he’s a monster and purposely did this to hurt me and make me feel this way,” Kurfin told People Magazine shortly after The Bachelor season concluded, adding at the time:

“I don’t think he thought it through, but I don’t think he did it maliciously to break my heart.”

Whatever.

The guy seems like a giant douchebag in our opinion.

But Arie is the past and one of the 28 men featured above is the future.

“Let’s do the damn thing,” Kufrin excitedly says in the following Bachelorette preview, making it clear that she’s ready to move on.

And if she’s ready to move on, so we are. Let’s do the damn thing indeed!
