BREAKING: Prince Harry says his wife Meghan has given birth to a baby boy. The couple's first child is seventh in line to the British throne. https://t.co/QVfwND0xRn — The Associated Press (@AP) May 6, 2019 ORIGINAL: We’re getting closer to meeting the newest royal baby! Meghan Markle has gone into labor. Few details of the couple’s birth plans have been release to public. Last month, Kensington Palace said that the birth would be revealed only once Harry and Meghan had the opportunity to celebrate privately. Unlike Harry’s brother Prince William, they didn’t share where the baby would be born. Harry married the Duchess of Sussex last year in a chapel on the grounds of Windsor Castle, about 20 miles west of central London. This is a developing story. Source: NBC News
Sophie Turner stars on a show well known for its twists, turns and shocking deaths. But the actress just delivered one of the biggest surprises of the year — and it had to do with celebrating the state and direction of her life: She and Joe Jonas are suddenly married! WHOA, right?!? The handsome singer and the popular Game of Thrones actress went right ahead and exchange vows in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, not long after attending the Billboard Music Awards. Joe actually reunited on stage with his brothers at thie ceremony, prior to agreeing in frong of an Elvis impersonator that he would unite forever and ever with Turner. As her husband! The ceremony, which was documented on Diplo’s Instagram live feed, took place at Chapel L’Amour inside A Little White Wedding Chapel. According to online records obtained by People Magazine, the celebrity couple applied for a marriage license earlier in the day in Clark County, Nevada. So this wasn’t some late-minute, drunken decision, as is very often the case for folks that get married in Sin City. Jonas and Turner had made a sober plan to get married in this venue long before they actually did so. In addition to Diplo, whose social media photos from the event we’ve shared below, several stars who had attended the Billboard Music Awards earlier in the evening were also at the ceremony, including Khalid. At the outset of the marriage ceremony, Turner – who portrays Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones – walked down the aisle, wearing a low-cut white silk top with matching pants and a finger-tip length veil. She made her beautiful entrance while Dan + Shay performed their hit “Speechless” acoustically. In place of the traditional wedding rings, meanwhile, Turner and Jonas exchanged Ring Pops, which is simply amazing and which we think all husbands and wives ought to do going forward. Nick and Kevin Jonas were also on hand for the nuptials. “Fine folks, family… in the power vested in me, it is my pleasure to pronounce you two husband and wife. You may kiss that bride!” the Elvis impersonator said after Turner and Jonas said some romantic and legal stuff to each other. The unusual (albeit awesome!) ceremony concluded with the celebrant singing “Viva Las Vegas,” while the newlyweds danced and the friends and family in attendance cheered. This has been a long and seemingly very steady romantic journey for Turner and Jonas. They started dating in the fall of 2016 and announced their engagement in October of 2017 with matching photos on Instagram that showed off the British star’s stunning pear-shaped diamond engagement ring. “I said yes,” she wrote on her post, while the DNCE frontman captioned his snapshot in similar fashion: “She said yes.” Joe’s father, Kevin Jonas Sr., commented on Turner’s message at the time by writing: “We are so happy to welcome you to our family.” The stars had previously said they were getting married in France this summer, so a more official ceremony may still be on tap. “We got most of it figured out already,” Joe recently said of that international affair on The Zach Sang Show, adding: “There’s parts of it that I think just naturally are stressful, but you just have to allow yourself to enjoy the fact that you’re doing this. It’s not really about all the little minor details, it’s going to be great and things are gonna go wrong, but I enjoy planning stuff.” We just hope it also includes Ring Pops!

This week, Ashley Martson filed to divorce Jay Smith after under one year of marriage. This started with a strong insinuation that he had cheated — which Ashley later confirmed, accusing him of adultery in court documents. But throughout this budding scandal, she has been dropping hints that fans “don't know everything.” Rumor has it that he didn't just cheat, but knocked up a side piece. How much worse could it be? In new interviews with In Touch Weekly and Us Weekly , Ashley is speaking out. She says that she's heartbroken, but that America will be shocked when they learn what Jay put her through. 1. Ashley is speaking out about the bitter breakup “It was very dramatic, very messed up,” she tells In Touch Weekly. 2. We clearly don’t yet know the whole story “I am sure America is going to be shocked,” Ashley expresses. A 20-year-old banging a side piece or two doesn’t really shock people anymore, so she’s definitely hinting that there is so much more to the story than anyone had imagined. 3. Didn’t Ashley see it coming? She gets asked this question, which is fair, considering that he had cheated on her after her wedding (and allegedly before). Ashley answers: “Um, not to the extent of what happened, no.” 4. How is she coping? Not super well, but she’s spending time with friends and family in New York. “They support me,” Ashley explains. 5. She is no longer cohabitating with her husband Jay is no longer living with her, and Ashley tells In Touch that she’s not sure where he’s living. (Notably, she later gives more detail, and we’ll get to that) 6. They’re barely even on speaking terms “I mean, we talk when we have to,” Ashley reveals. “Just about important things — like paperwork.” View Slideshow
Earlier today, several media outlets (including this one) reported that Meghan Markle might be in labor . It remains to be seen if that was the really the case or if it was merely a false alarm originating in the British tabloids — and it could be several weeks before we find out for sure, as Meghan and Harry have made it clear they plan to protect their newborn’s privacy. But if there’s any truth to the rumors, and Meghan did welcome her first child, then she may have just completed the most productive week in the history of the British Royal Family. (Yes, we’re including the week in which Edmund the Penitent defeated the French at the Battle of Chesterfordshire just days before he resolved the Yorkford Grain Crisis of 1681 — and yes, we just made all that up.) Because in addition to bringing a new prince or princess into the world, Meghan might have also ended a rivalry that’s been raging for at least the past year. At first, it was reported as a feud between Kate and Meghan . As more information became available, however, it began to look as though the bad blood was really between William and Harry . Currently, it looks as though the brothers may have cut ties as a result of William’s alleged affair with Rose Hansbury. Sources say Harry was upset that Will was commenting on his marriage while cheating on his own wife, and the whole thing dredged up painful memories of their father cheating on their mother, etc. Basically, the world’s wildest soap opera is unfolding behind the walls of Buckingham Palace, and the Royals are looking to keep the whole thing to themselves. Stingy. But now, the beef between the Cambridges and the Sussexes may have finally come to an end. Earlier this week, it was reported that Harry and Kate were spotted hanging out , and now it looks as though the two couples recently spent time together at Harry and Meghan’s new home, Frogmore Cottage. According to Harper’s Bazaar the unexpected visit happened on Easter Sunday. “William and Catherine visited because Meghan was unable to attend the service,” a source tells the magazine. “They wanted to be supportive and see how she is doing. It was a lovely afternoon.” It was William and Kate’s first visit to the quaintly-named estate, which Meg and Harry have apparently made very much their own. “Meg and Harry are really settled in now,” a friend of the couple tells Bazaar . “It’s truly a lovely home and they have done such a great job with the space. “So much light and positive energy. I couldn’t think of a better place to start a family.” So it remains to be seen if Meg really welcomed a child today, but if she did, it sounds like the royal tyke will be entering a very peaceful environment.

Source: ASTON MARTIN / ASTON MARTIN Aston Martin has joined the environmentally friendly wave. They are set to release a rechargeable motor powered sedan in the coming months. As spotted on Engadget the luxury car maker has revealed their Rapid-E model; their first ever electric car. Originally announced in 2014 the four door sedan features a 800V, 65 kWh battery system and twin rear motors. Even though the V12 engine has been swapped out, it still pumps out 604 hp and 700 pound-feet of torque. Additionally it goes from 0-60 MPH in about 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 150 MPH. In terms of the build out the Rapid-E stays true to the British manufacturer’s super premium brand positioning. The battery lives where the usual fuel engine would under the hood. Inside the vehicle provides the owner a plush driving experience with carbon fiber detailing all throughout the cockpit. On the dash we get a digital display that shows how much charge you have left, energy consumption and much more. At the Shanghai Auto Show Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer spoke on how this release will help redefine their organization. “Unveiling the Rapide E will be a huge moment for Aston Martin. As our first all-electric production car, it is a truly historic step. One that signals Aston Martin is prepared for the huge challenge of an environmentally responsible and sustainable future.

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Drake Responds To Be Called A Culture Vulture It’s no secret that Drake loves adapting to different cultures, their music, and most prominently, their accents. More specifically, the rapper really loves him some U.K. and they seem to love them some him, for the most part–but the feeling isn’t always mutual. Drizzy has been on his Assassination Vacation Tour for the past couple months and recently had to address an incident where a local artist called the Canadian a culture vulture. While the rapper has brought out popular British artists like J Hus, Krept & Konan and Dave throughout his different tour stops, some other U.K. artists still haven’t been feeling how Drake has been operating overseas. One U.K. grime rapper specifically, who goes by the name of Wiley, personally called Drake out on Twitter last week. Aubrey sat down with Tiffany Calvar of BBC’s 1Xtra Rap Show on Saturday and addressed Wiley’s comments, along with anyone else who might think he’s a culture vulture. “I hate that people think that, like, me being into music from these kids who are trying to make it and trying to build a name for themselves, it’s like, ‘Oh, that’s some culture vulture.’ What does that even mean?” The rapper questioned. “I don’t understand what that means. Would you rather me not acknowledge anything or support? That’s some real confused hater s**t. It is what it is. I see it a lot. I’ll never understand how supporting someone’s song or going a step further and giving someone a song, linking up, I’ll never understand how that’s not viewed as something admirable.” He continued, calling out the grime rapper by name: “It was Wiley that said that. I just said his name cause I felt like that was some goofy s**t. But yeah, I just didn’t like that. Like what are you talking about?” During the interview, Drake also addressed those people who say he has a fake accent. “It’s actually funny because I think when I first came in the industry, I think I felt this pressure to, ‘Be American’ and sound American,” he explained. “I think now that we are all so proud to be from Toronto, we start talking more like how we talk.” Wiley ended up responding to Drake’s call out on his social media pages, posting a clip of the interview on Instagram and calling the rapper “goofy.” View this post on Instagram @champagnepapi #GoofyYeah If what I was saying was wrong you would of stayed silent A post shared by Wiley (@wiley__) on Apr 13, 2019 at 10:57pm PDT
If you’ve been tracking the royal gossip these past few days, you know that Kensington Palace has been working hard to bury a story that simply refuses to go away. It all started with reports of a feud between Kate Middleton and her former friend, Rose Hanbury , the Marchioness of Cholmondeley. This developed into reports that William was having an affair with Hanbury . And there’s no greater indication that a piece of royal gossip has at least some basis in fact than a royal campaign to make sure it never sees the light of day. In that sense, William shot himself in the foot when he appealed to his journalist friend Richard Kay to print a story denouncing the rumors. In the week since, he may have made the situation worse by taking legal action against British media outlets who have continued to cover the affair. The Daily Beast is reporting today that at least one UK publication has received a sternly-worded letter from William’s preferred law firm of Harbottle and Lewis. “In addition to being false and highly damaging, the publication of false speculation in respect of our clients’ private life also constitutes a breach of his privacy pursuant to Article 8 of the European Convention to Human Rights,” the letter reads, in part. “The use of a legal letter by William as a future king is very much a move of last resort,” says Duncan Larcombe, former royal editor of the Sun . “If the stories of Kate freezing Rose out are true then whatever caused the falling out must have been very serious.” In his comments to The Daily Beast , Larcombe adds: “While traditionally, the British royal family would not take specific legal action — he old saying was ‘never complain and never explain’ — William and Harry are willing to do it in their own way.” Further complicating the situation is the fact that the British tabloid press is apparently in the habit of using coded language so as to convey privileged information to those in the know, while at the same time protecting themselves from a legal standpoint. “If you’ve been following the latest Kate Middleton hoo-hah but have been at a loss to understand what a ‘rural rivalry’ is, it’s Fleet Street’s way of hinting at the long-standing society rumor that Prince William has been caught [having an affair],” says a writer for Popbitch, which the Beast describes as “a showbiz industry newsletter.” Meanwhile, a report from Grazia claims that Kate is deeply upset to find her personal life the subject of continued gossip. “Kate doesn’t do arguments. If you upset her she freezes you out,” one insider claims. “There are very few leaks about what really goes on in the Cambridge household or their marriage, other than to say it’s a solid and happy one,” the source adds. “All of the speculation about this alleged falling out between Rose and Kate will have been upsetting for Kate. She won’t like being the subject of gossip, and neither will William, who is a very private person.” The insider adds that Kate and Will were initially able to laugh at the rumors, but are now finding it difficult to do so. “For the most part, Kate pays no attention to gossip and rumours and while I think they laughed it off at first, the fact this is still being talked about will, I imagine, unsettle them,” says the source. Another tipster adds that Will and Kate selected Norfolk — home to Rose Hanbury and her much older husband — as the center of their social circle specifically because it’s “a very ungossipy place.” We think it’s safe to say that’s no longer the case.
