Meghan Markle is a Total Bridezilla: Report
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting married one month from today.
Sorry, let us try that again, this time with the proper level of enthusiasm one should muster for such an announcement:
MEGHAN MARKLE AND PRINCE HARRY ARE GETTING MARRIED ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! EEEEEEK!!!!
That’s better, don’t you think?
But even though one month is a very small period of time until the Royal Wedding bells ring, those close to Markle reportedly think it’s not small enough.
They wish the wedding were taking place tomorrow.
Because then they’d only have 24 hour left to deal what one source is describing as the ultimate Bridezilla.
Yes, this source is looking at you, Meghan Markle.
“Meghan’s driving everyone crazy with her diva demands,” an insider tells Life & Style, adding of the bride-to-be:
“She’s a perfectionist, and she’s trying to control everything going on around her.”
This is the first time we’ve heard of Markle being described as basically anything other than kind, generous, loyal, lovely and loving.
Aside from those racist trolls who gave Meghan and Harry problems early on in their romance due to the former’s mixed heritage, Markle has received nothing but positive reviews for over a year now.
Everyone seems to adore her!
But weddings do have a way of causing such stress and tension for those prominently involved that it’s nearly impossible not to snap on occasion.
And those are just regular weddings; with, like 75 to 100 guests.
Markle and Harry will be getting married in front of thousands of people lining the London streets, as well as millions more watching from home.
According to this tabloid source, the former Suits actress feels a lot of pressure to follow “the rules of royal etiquette” on her big day, but is also “worried about her family being on their best behavior.”
This last part is a bit unusual, however, because we’re under the impression that almost no one from Markle’s family is invited.
Just last week, Markle’s controversial half-sister spoke out and complained about her lack of a wedding invite.
“Humanitarians move forward with love and kindness especially to Family,” Samanha Grant Tweeted about her snub, attempting to shame Markle into extending the invite.
So far, though, it has failed to work.
It is expected that Markle’s parents will be in attendance, with her mom actually walking her down the aisle instead of her dad.
This is because Thomas Markle is famously shy.
He and Meghan’s mother split a long time ago and Thomas now lives a very quiet life in Mexico. Sources have told The Sun that he’s afraid to face the “world’s glare” on May 19.
But face it he will, at least in some capacity.
Just like those complaining about Markle’s recent behavior, we’re guessing Thomas will be happy when the wedding day comes and then goes.
What about YOU?
Are you sick of all this Royal coverage?
Or do you wish there was even more of it?

Spencer Pratt: BLASTS Lauren Conrad and Caitlyn Jenner, Makes a Total Ass of Himself
In case anyone needs a reminder, podcasts are totally public. If you’re a celebrity and you go on a podcast and make a total ass of yourself, people are going to find out.
If you come across as a bigot, even if you didn’t mean to, it is not going to stay a secret.
Spencer Pratt seems to have forgotten that, because — on top of bashing Lauren Conrad and then asking why she doesn’t want to work with him — he said some truly unacceptable things about Caitlyn Jenner.
You know, the recent Spencer Pratt has been relatively well-behaved.
Don’t get us wrong, he’s still the guy who blew through millions of dollars in a frighteningly short amount of time.
(That was a collaborative effort between him and Heidi)
But he’s been doing so well. He and Heidi Montag are expecting their first child.
That’s a huge milestone for the legendary reality couple.
(At seven months, Heidi Montag’s baby bump was ginormous! And Heidi is coming up on eight months, now)
It’s seemed like they’ve settled into being people who set realistic goals, instead of people who respond to dwindling finances by spending six figures on crystals because they hope that the energies or vibrations or whatever will restore their bank accounts.
He still likes them. But hey, who doesn’t?
Unfortunately, Spencer recently sat down for an interview for the podcast, Allegedly With Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss.
Spencer Pratt bashes Lauren Conrad, talks about Scientology and Ryan Gosling, discusses his unborn child’s potential dating life … and says some almost unrepeatable things about Caitlyn Jenner.
First, you know how some celebrities accept some nice financial incentives to let a magazine do some exclusive photos — of a wedding or, say, of their new baby?
Spencer and Heidi haven’t gotten any kind of lucrative photo deal, and Spencer blames Lauren Conrad.
“Well Lauren Conrad just blew it for us, having the worst selling magazine cover in the history of the publication. She killed our numbers. She’s supposed to be the queen of The Hills, so all our money just went way down because of her.”
Lauren Conrad’s People cover sold very poorly, it’s true.
“I would rather taken no money to have that happen to her so it’s a win regardless.”
Wow that is spiteful.
You may remember that the conflict between Lauren Conrad and her former friends became a central storyline on The Hills for years until Lauren left.
Apparently Spencer is still feeling that resentment, after all of these years.
Spencer’s explanation for why Lauren Conrad won’t do a reunion with them is, in light of his bitterness, pretty interesting.
“Some people don’t want to share any shine, they’d rather sit on their Instagram account.”
Maybe Lauren Conrad doesn’t want to interact with someone who can’t stand her.
Also, maybe Lauren Conrad didn’t hemorrhage money left and right and is estimated to be worth something like $ 25 million today.
She doesn’t need to do a reunion special if she doesn’t want to.
Spencer says that he’d be okay if his unborn child grows up and wants to date Lauren’s son, Liam.
“If he wants to date Liam, that’s up to him. I personally will be targeting Kristin Cavallari’s $ 100 million + daughter for my son. Kristin, I’ll be such a good in-law!”
Okay, that’s funny. And a nice blow to heteronormativity. A lot of parents just assume that their kid will be straight by default, and they set themselves up for a surprise.
(To be clear, we don’t think that Spencer and Heidi are actually planning to raise their kid to be a gold-digger)
Spencer Pratt says that he and Ryan Gosling used to be neighbors who hung out, and that Ryan Gosling told him some chilling tales about Scientology.
“He told me a story about Scientology that has stuck with me for years. Let’s just say it involved people not surviving heavy shit and I was like, oh wow, this is not something to joke about.”
To be clear, we don’t know where Ryan Gosling would have heard these stories, except perhaps from ex-Scientologists. But we’ve read enough horrific accounts about that organization to never be surprised at what we hear.
Spencer gets really awful now, so … brace yourselves.
He not only deadnames Caitlyn Jenner, but also misgenders her — as if he’d just awoken from a two-year coma.
“I’m Team Kris Jenner. I was Team Brody. Bruce is like the worst person ever. He wouldn’t even call Brody on his birthday and he was in the valley. It’s not like he was in the Czech Republic. He was always bad as a human from what I saw as Brody’s best friend. I had heard he had gotten hormone injections and all that but to me I was like, whatever, maybe that’s Tuesday.”
It’s incredibly rude to misgender someone or use their deadname, even if you’re talking about why they suck. And even if you’re talking about them before they transitioned or before they came out.
Caitlyn is a woman. You can say that she was a piss-poor parent without disrespecting her gender and that of every other trans woman on the planet.
Maybe worst of all is Spencer’s commentary about Caitlyn’s reasons for transitioning or … something.
“It was so back in the day and I loved titties so much, I thought maybe he just wanted titties to rub on, like his own titties, I don’t know. He was a ghost.”
In case it needs to be said, trans women who get top surgery don’t do so because, um, they love boobs so much that they want to touch them.
Part of it is about being able to dress and be perceived as they want to.
Many (though not all) trans woman also experience dysphoria, where their bodies feel wrong until they have top surgery and then things feel like they’ve settled into place, as they should be.
Spencer doesn’t mean anything cruel by this, we think.
He’s probably just still the same idiot we saw on The Hills.
On a brighter note, Spencer and Heidi might be coming back to reality television.
“My own show, the paperwork’s signed. We’ll see if it ever goes onto an actual … one thing I’ve learned about networks is they’ll pay you and maybe the show [will never happen]. I’ve now been paid for two shows, whole seasons, that never went.”
Yep. That’s how scripts and projects end up in limbo or development hell.
A network might think that something’s good enough that they won’t let anyone else do it, but not necessarily good enough to actually develop.
Oh, and Spencer and Heidi don’t have a sex tape. He says that he’d be willing to do one now for $ 10 million.
We’ll just … pass on that.

Jimmy Kimmel Slams Trump: The President Is a Total Disaster!
As you"ve no doubt heard by now, Donald Trump stunned the world yesterday when he defended the actions of the white supremacist hate groups that engaged in violent protests and deadly acts of terrorism in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend.
Most public figures have condemned the president"s words, but shockingly, several say they"re still in his corner.
We think it"s safe to say Jimmy Kimmel is squarely in the former camp.
After joking that he would rather have Game of Thrones despot Cersei Lannister in charge of the country, Kimmel informed the crowd that what was supposed to be a press conference about infrastructure quickly turned into Trump offering "an impassioned defense of white supremacy."
"It would be like if your book club meeting turned into a cockfight," Kimmel told his audience.
Kimmel remains a comedian first and foremost, but he"s clearly concerned by Trump"s latest actions, and he addressed them in a more serious tone than we"re accustomed to seeing from the late night host.
"The president is completely unhinged," Kimmel said.
"The wheels are off the wagon and hurtling toward the moon right now."
Kimmel made an attempt to understand the mindset of Trump voters, saying:
"You didn’t want business as usual — nothing ever seems to get done, it’s always the same, these candidates make a lot of promises that go nowhere. It happens over and over again… and you’re sick of it."
He added:
“And then this guy shows up riding down a golden escalator — he’s not a part of the political establishment; in fact, he’s the opposite of that… Let’s roll the dice. Let him get in there and run the country like a business.”
The host then rattled off a list of Trump"s most egregious policies and errors (the Muslim ban, "playing chicken with Kim Jong Un," etc.) before informing the president"s supporters that they chose "the wrong guy."
Kimmel"s not the first late night host to bash Trump this week, but his take-down is a doozy,

Jerry Seinfeld Explains Total and Complete Snub of Kesha
Jerry Seinfeld may have starred on the funniest sitcom in the history of the universe, but he took a page from one of the few shows that can make this same claim earlier in the week.
Approached by Kesha on the red carpet of an event in New York City and asked for a hug, Seinfeld went all Arrested Development on the singer, basically replying:
NO TOUCHING!
Three times.
Seinfeld was forced to reject Kesha on three separate occasions when she repeatedly pushed to wrap her arms around the iconic comedian while he was giving an interview.
Taken aback by the request, Seinfeld simply replied “no thanks” when Kesha said she wanted to give him a hug.
Then he said it again. And again after that because Kesha just wouldn’t accept the unexpected rejection.
“I don’t know who that was,” Seinfeld told the reporter following the awkward interaction.
It was Kesha, the journalist responded.
“Well, I wish her the best,” Seinfeld said, laughing pretty hard over the whole thing.
The incident (which you simply HAVE to watch above) went viral for two reasons:
1. It was hilarious.
2. It was the rare occasion when a celebrity showed his or her true self. There was no artifice here. There was no concern on Seinfeld’s part over how he might come across. He simply didn’t want to give someone a hug… so he chose not to.
And he chose not to in simple, kind fashion.
The snub went made headlines across the Internet, prompting Seinfeld to explain himself at the GOOD+ Foundation and MR PORTER Fatherhood Lunch on Thursday
“I’m 63, I don’t know every pop star … I don’t know everyone,” he said, adding: I’m not [a hugger].”
It’s true.
If Kesha really were as big a fan of the comedian’s as she claims to be, she’d remember the entire Seinfeld episode he dedicated back in the day to his disdain for greeting someone with a peck on the cheek.
And that was a reference to someone he knows!
“I was right in the middle of an interview, it was a little off,” Seinfeld added of the viral moment.
“When you get to be my age and you’ve done a couple things, you have your own reality, in my reality … I don’t hug a total stranger.
“I have to meet someone, say ‘hello.’ I gotta start somewhere … hug isn’t first moment of a human, two humans. I never did that.”
Jerry would have needed to respond by asking What’s the deal with random hugs?!? for this response to truly be classic Seinfeld. But it came pretty close.
The actor proceeded to joke that he has a “borderline harassment case” on his hands if he chose to make a big deal of it.
But then he turned a tad bit serious in wanting to make sure Kesha wasn’t too offended.
“I’m sure I would’ve liked her,” Jerry told Extra. “But I need to know who are you.”
It doesn’t help that Kesha has dropped the dollar sign from her name and rid her face of all glitter.
Perhaps if she kept both those things as part of her persona, and perhaps if she had yelled “TIMBER!” upon approaching Seinfeld, this situation could have been avoided, Jerry would have recognized her and a hug would have ensured.
We doubt it.
But it’s possible.
For the sake of our funny bone, however, we’re glad this wasn’t the case.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we need to scroll up and watch that video again.

Ashley Graham Shows Off Cellulite, Is a Total Inspiration
How wonderful is Ashley Graham?
She’s absolutely gorgeous, she poses in bikinis often, and she’s so very positive about her body — and about all bodies. So we’d say she’s pretty much the most wonderful.
Ashley first came to the world’s attention when she appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition in 2015, the very first plus size model to do so.
And ever since then, she’s been a ray of light in this dark, dark world.
For her latest act of greatness, Ashley shared a photo of herself that was taken during her recent vacation to the Philippines.
The photo is focused on her belly and her thighs, and you can see her cellulite. And the message that she sent along with the photo is just amazing.
“I work out,” she wrote. “I do my best to eat well. I love the skin I’m in. And I’m not ashamed of a few lumps, bumps or cellulite … and you shouldn’t be either.”
She added the hashtags “beauty beyond size” and “love the skin you’re in” for good measure.
What a lovely message, right?
The idea of loving yourself no matter what shouldn’t be revolutionary, but sadly, it is. Ashley is obviously doing her best to combat that notion, but still, you know the haters came out to play in the comment section.
One person told Ashley that “You may be beautiful you may be kind but being overweight is extremely unhealthy.”
Another said “Cut out sugar, eat more good fats limit carbs workout regularly your welcome.”
Another person had the nerve to suggest plastic surgery, saying that “If you want it gone it’s great plastic surgeons out there and new technology thats awesome to get ride of the cellulite etc.”
One person got on her very highest horse to say that “Visceral fat surrounding your organs is not healthy if your heavyset on the outside with cellulite you definitely have issues on the inside.”
“Glad she works out happy about that everyone should but still the proof is in the pudding.”
Other commenters kept it simple and hateful with statements like “Gross” and “Disgusting.”
What’s wrong with these people? It’s clear that they missed Ashley’s point almost as hard as they missed basic grammar lessons in elementary school.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin, and it’s so disappointing that these people are going out of their way to make her feel like there is.
Luckily, the positive messages far outweighed the negative.
“I have dealt with body shaming/doubts all of my life and to see women like you embrace our beautiful bodies mean so much to me,” one person wrote. “Ashley, you are my hero.”
“I’m so happy you post stuff like this,” another told her. “You are so real and so beautiful and you make me fearless. Thank you for being you.”
One woman said that “The truth is, I AM ashamed of a few bumps and cellulite. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me that I deserve to love myself right now, just as I am.”
Another delightfully pointed out that “You can’t spell cellulite without U Lit honey!”
And so there you have it. Ashley Graham is an amazing human being who does so much for so many people, and she should never, ever stop.
Also, haters should spend less time hating and more time working on defrosting their frozen, rotten hearts.

Ariana Grande Speaks Out Against Slut Shaming, Is A Total Queen
How great is Ariana Grande? The greatest, right?
Sure, she’s had her problems — who could forget the great donut-licking scandal, or her general diva shenanigans?
But when push comes to shove, when it really matters, Ariana can come through with some real loveliness.
And that’s what she’s doing now.
Yesterday, we talked about this sad story Ariana told about how she was objectified by some fan of her boyfriend, Mac Miller.
She said that Mac’s fan, some “young boy,” saw them while they were out and he followed them to their car.
“I thought all of this was cute and exciting,” she recalled, “until he said ‘Ariana is sexy as hell man, I see you, I see you hitting that!!!!"”
Poor Ariana admitted that her ordeal might not be “a big deal” to some, but that she felt “sick and objectified.”
“I’ve felt really quiet and hurt since that moment,” she said. “Things like that happen all the time and are the kind of moments that contribute to women’s sense of fear and inadequacy.”
Queen Ariana declared that she’s not “a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure,” and that she’s sad that so many people have such an easy time objectifying women.
“I felt like speaking out about this one experience tonight because I know very well that most women know the sensation of being spoken about in an uncomfortable way publicly by a man,” she said.
“We need to talk about these moments openly because they are harmful and they live on inside us as shame.”
“We need to share and be vocal when something makes us feel uncomfortable because if we don’t, it will just continue.”
“We are not objects or prizes,” she concluded. “We are QUEENS.”
Like we said, she’s the greatest.
Unfortunately, not everyone can be as wise as Ariana on this subject. When she posted her story, she got flooded with comments about how she dresses provocatively, she can get kind of racy, so what happened is her fault.
What a bunch of nonsense, right? But don’t worry, because our girl shut that mess down QUICK.
She hopped back on Twitter to explain that “Women expressing sexuality is often mistaken for ‘hi come disrespect me!!!!’ .. & that’s just not the case.”
“Women (and men) can express themselves however they’d like !!! even loving sex!! this is not an invitation to be disrespected.”
When asked how Mac Miller reacted to the guy, she said “Although this isn’t about his reaction, he drove the f-ck away !! he is a sweet bear & I am falling asleep feeling safe & loved.”
But then she really took us to church.
“Seeing a lot of ‘but look how you portray yourself in videos and in your music! you’re so sexual!"” she wrote. “Please hold .. next tweet… I repeat …”
“Expressing sexuality in art is not an invitation for disrespect !!! just like wearing a short skirt is not asking for assault.”
“Women’s choice. ♡ our bodies, our clothing, our music, our personalities….. sexy, flirty, fun. it is not. an open. invitation.”
“You are literally saying that if we look a certain way, we are yours to take. But we are not !!! It’s our right to express ourselves.”
What did we ever do to deserve such a glorious, truth-telling lady?

Kailyn Lowry Has a Total Meltdown Over WHAT?!
Kailyn Lowry is a big fan of feeling her feelings.
Or, to be more accurate, she’s a big fan of feeling her feelings in very passive aggressive ways, usually on social media.
It is what it is, y’all.
Kailyn’s latest vague-tweeting marathon happened just after filming the Teen Mom 2 reunion special and continued on for literal days.
“I guess if there’s no trust there’s nothing,” she began.
She followed that up with a simple “Ok,” and then “It’s cool” with both peace sign and middle finger emojis.
Who hurt you, Kailyn?
She may have cleared up that mystery a little later when she wrote “All my friends are assholes.”
“Nobody is loyal,” she added. “Don’t care.”
It’s a little shocking that she’d say all that the same day as the reunion special, especially considering that she’s so close with her fellow Teen Mom 2 star Chelsea Houska.
The two even posed for several pictures together, looking all happy and friendly.
And, it’s worth noting, Chelsea definitely didn’t look like an asshole.
So we have to imagine that either Kailyn and Chelsea had some kind of falling out immediately after the show was filmed, which seems unlikely, or that Kailyn is just being ungrateful and dramatic.
Yeah, we’re going to have to go with that second one.
Time didn’t heal any wounds at all though, because the next morning Kailyn started up again with “All the feels right now.”
In the past few days, Kailyn’s gone through all these feels and more:
Real friends will support your business and not ask for freebies. I hate that sh-t.
Never been so overwhelmed in my life.
I know I’m not exactly what you’re used to.
I’m just convenient I guess…
You’re not special, he’s still looking for what’s next.
She’s also been making comments about her weight, posting a meme that read “Me: I’m on a diet. Inner Me: You’re fat, just eat it anyway.”
In a tweet revealing that she hasn’t been to the gym in almost a month, she called herself “trash.”
One of her followers rightfully told her that she’s “in her feels” right now, and she acknowledged it, writing “you right. Let me get it together.”
Please do, Kailyn. Please do.

Donald Trump -- Total Sellout In the Hat Game
Donald Trump is already banking off his presidential win because his staple red “Make America Great Again” hats have flown off the shelves … TMZ has learned. The hat — which retails for $ 25 — was sold out following Tuesday’s victory. Trump wore…
