Megyn Kelly: Banned from the Royal Wedding?!?
NBC appears to have a royally big problem on its hands.
According to an interesting new report, Megyn Kelly knows where she wants to be this spring:
In London. Right in the thick of the most romantic and publicized wedding to hit Great Britain since Prince William exchanged vows with Kate Middleton.
Yes, Kelly wants to cover the Meghan Markle-Prince Harry nuptials.
She wants to be overseas, right alongside Today Show co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, filling viewers in on the mood of the crowd, the designer of Markle’s dress and all the other pressing details related to this monumental event.
There’s just one problem:
Kelly’s bosses don’t want here there.
AWKWARD!
“NBC is going all out for their royal wedding coverage and has only the best correspondents with insider knowledge about the couple and everything going on behind the scenes,” an insider claims to Radar Online.
Kelly, it seems, does not fit this description.
In fact, NBC News President Noah Oppenheim “personally vetoed the request,” Radar writes.
The network is intent on putting together an entire team to be on hand for the wedding and, no doubt, for the days leading up to it.
Kensington Palace has confirmed that Markle will wed Harry on May 19, 2018, with Markle planning on breaking from tradition during her big day.
That’s the sort of major scoop NBC wants to make sure it, ummm, scoops up.
Why wouldn’t it want Kelly to be part of this investigative unit? Per this same network source:
“With NBC putting millions of dollars of resources into the wedding coverage, the last thing that anyone wants is Megyn to be there and say something completely inappropriate on the air which would create its own controversy.”
Kelly’s tenure at her new place of employ has not exactly gone smoothly to date, that much is certain.
She recently received very harsh coverage for the way she BLASTED Jane Fonda on air, slamming the veteran actress for being a hypocrite.
Ratings for Kelly’s hour of Today have also been very weak and there’s been chatter that others at NBC are bitter over how much money she’s making.
Especially when this money is not translating into popularity or viewership.
Overall, folks just don’t seem too keen on Kelly pretending like she’s Kelly Ripa or some TV personality who can casually comment on the news and/or share funny stories from her personal life.
Not after she spent years stirring up controversy as a conservative anchor on Fox News.
This is the fear of higher-ups at NBC apparently.
“She would somehow manage to upstage the royal wedding, and her bosses just aren’t going to take a chance on that,” Radar alleges.
Kelly’s rant against Fonda really does appear to have rubbed executives the wrong way.
“What Megyn is doing is suicide,” an insider previously stated to Radar Online, warning that the host “is welcome to kill her show but she will not be allowed to take down the Today show with her.”
And ain’t no way she’s taking down the MegHar wedding, either!
Javi Marroquin & Briana DeJesus: Back Together ALREADY?!
If you’re having a hard time keeping track of the relationship status of Javi Marroquin and Briana DeJesus, you’re certainly not alone.
Javi and Briana started dating back in September, but for the first month or so, they claimed they were just friends.
Then, last month, Javi and Briana broke up without warning.
Now, as proof that these two are hell-bent on keeping us constantly confused, it seems that Javi and Bri are back together.
Yes, Marroquin made an unexpected appearance on his ex’s Snapchat story last night.
That may not sound like a big deal, but it’s important to note that Bri was scheduled for a plastic surgery procedure in Miami.
Which means that Javi flew down from Delaware to be by her side in the hours before she went under the knife.
That’s generally not the sort of thing an ex does, but then again Javi is no mere ex.
He and Briana moved quickly from the start, even going so far as to meet one another’s kids and plan a future in which they’d both live in the same state.
(Currently, Briana resides in Florida, while Javi remains in Delaware.)
Interestingly, the couple reportedly broke up over Briana’s plastic surgery plans.
Briana took to social media to reveal that Marroquin had broken up with her because he was upset that she planned to further alter her appearance.
Javi claimed there were other factors, as well, but he didn’t deny that the planned procedure played a role in his decision.
We guess he quickly got over his objection.
And what does Kailyn Lowry have to say about the fact that her ex-husband is back together with her most bitter rival?
Weirdly, it seems that she doesn’t care in the slightest … but it also seems like she knows something we don’t.
“Everything comes full circle,” Kail tweeted today.
“I’ll wait for the cameras to spill the tea.”
“The funny thing is, I keep my mouth shut long enough and every time i do the truth comes out just before i want to open my mouth,” she added.
To drive her point home, she tagged Javi in a tweet reading:
“I’ll wait for the cameras to spill the tea.”
Kailyn concluded her cryptic mini-rant by tweeting:
“I never want to get married again. But if i did, i would do a destination wedding.”
We guess not all of Javi’s exes are eager to take him back.
