Father Rises from Wheelchair, Walks Daughter Down the Aisle

Consider yourselves warned: the following video is guaranteed to elicit some major tears.

That"s what happens when a father who has been confined to a wheelchair works his you-know-what off in physical therapy in order to walk – yes, walk! – his daughter down the aisle!

Indeed, say hello to Ralph Duquette.

A resident of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, Ralph is a survivor of leukemia who made it his mission to give daughter Heather away on her big day.

Why did he work so hard? How could he NOT have, Ralph tells local station WLBZ:

"When a father is presented with their daughter for the first time, they know how it"s gonna end.

"That they"ll have to give her away and I"d have to walk her down the aisle one of these days, you know? I"ve known that for all my life, and when I got ill it was like, it"s never gonna happen."

And yet it did happen. Watch the emotional, sentimental, awe-inspiring footage now.

Kim Kardashian: Pissed at Kate Middleton?!?!

We’ve reported on many unexpected celebrity feuds over the years, but the alleged beef between the Duchess and the Badonkadonk might be the most random to date.

Yes, according to Star magazine, Kim Kardashian is royally pissed that Kate Middleton won’t give her the time of day. 

“Kim is obsessed with Kate—she keeps up with her every move,” says one insider. “She wants nothing more than to be a part of Kate’s circle.”

Rumors about Kim being obsessed with Kate have been circulating for years, and some insiders have even claimed that Kim timed her pregnancies to coincide with Kate’s.

Unfortunately, Kim’s requests for an A-list playdate have been repeatedly rebuffed.

“Ever since Kate’s son, Prince George, was born, Kim has been badgering the Duchess’ people about setting up a public playdate between him and North, but Kensington Palace keeps telling her in no uncertain terms that it won’t be happening,” the source claims.

“Kim is annoyed that she hasn’t been able to contact Kate directly and is frustrated with getting the cold shoulder. Kim thinks she’s the most famous person in the world and simply cannot fathom why anyone would not want to be her friend.

“Kim and Kanye have been trying to finagle invitations to events where Kate and William are supposed to be,” the source says. “They’ve actually become pretty aggressive about it.”

Well, there’s no denying that Kim is one of the most famous women on the planet, but it’s important to remember how she gained fame.

The Kim Kardashian sex tape might be the least royal thing in history. Are British people even capable of the things Kim did with Ray J? We’ll look it up and get back to you.

9 Men Whose Lives Were Ruined By the Kardashians

Man. The Kardashians sure do a number on dudes.

Just ask this group, whose lives – for one reason or another – were never the same after the Kardashian and Jenner women finished with them.

Kanye can probably handle it. The rest of them?

1. Lamar Odom

Was Lamar Odom’s downward spiral triggered in part by his uneasiness with fame? And how his life continued to play out in the tabloids and on the E! show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, even after he and Khloe split up? We may never know for sure, but as he battles for his life and his prognosis looks ever more grim, the Kardashians’ role in this sad saga is sure to be hotly debated and heavily scrutinized.

2. Scott Disick

Now in rehab for at least the sixth time, Scott Disick has been a party animal for years and can’t avoid his share of the blame for his own choices in life. Who cheats on the mother of their children and chooses alcohol over one’s kids? Still, his issues with the spotlight undoubtedly led to many of the demons he’s struggled with, and eventually caused him to snap.

3. Kris Humphries

Remember Kim Kardashian’s second husband Kris Humphries? The one she was married to for 72 whole days? Yeah, his NBA career flamed out almost as quickly as their marriage. Having been involved in the conversation for most improved player in pro basketball, he soon became involved in one of the most ridiculous celebrity breakups of all time … then faded into obscurity where he belongs.

4. Brody Jenner

Brody Jenner’s life is pretty damn amazing, and he’ll tell you as much, but at the same time, he’s been anti-Kardashian long before it was cool. Brody maintains a close relationship with father Caitlyn, as well as his biological half sisters Kendall and Kylie. But he’s publicly feuded with Kim, openly dislikes former stepmom Kris, and for the love of Pete, he’s had to LIVE with all of these people!

5. Ray J

The man, the myth, the amateur porn who Hit It First has made a lot of money off of his X-rated rail-a-thon, and yet it probably hampered whatever chance he had of becoming a legitimate star in his own right. Ah, the duality of riding Kim Kardashian from behind while filming it. A paradox, if you will.

6. Rob Kardashian

As the only son in a house with five sisters, the deck was stacked against Rob Kardashian from the start. He tried and failed at making socks. He was funny on Keeping Up. He went on Dancing with the Stars. Things were going okay for awhile, as he became inseparable from Khloe and her husband, Lamar Odom. But after those two split up, he went off the rails, bailed on Kim’s wedding, put on a TON of weight, started shading his family on social media, and generally turning into a recluse. Sad.
