Kate Middleton: ALREADY Pregnant with Third Child?!

We know that Kate Middleton doesn’t want to compete with Meghan Markle for the spotlight, but sometimes media attention finds you whether you want it to or not. When you could end up becoming the Queen of England sooner than you wanted or expected, you’re kind of always the center of attention. And it’s harder to hide things. For example: obvious signs that point to you being pregnant with baby number three . First of all, before you accuse us of projecting, two things. One, we’re just going to show you the different pieces of what may be a puzzle and show you how they might be solved. After all, plenty of pregnancies go weeks or even months before being publicly announced, because things don’t always work out as expecting parents might hope. Two, let us assure you that none of this is wishful thinking on our part. Sure, we’d love to get to write about another royal baby , but Kate has already given the world two of them. Little Prince George is adorable beyond words . Princess Charlotte is small and cute and we’re glad that George gets to be a big brother. Two are totally enough if Kate wants to stop there. (And William, we suppose) Here are the clues — you tell us if you think that they couldn’t point to a pregnancy. First, Kate Middleton was reportedly rushed to the hospital last week. Or, we should say, was “rushed to hospital,” which is how the Brits say it — sort of how we say “going to school,” though school is an institution and … anyway. We don’t know what was behind that hospital visit, but since we don’t know what sort of pain or illness may have been involved, people wonder if it might have been related to pregnancy. But there might be an explanation, related to a diagnosis that Kate received while she was pregnant with Prince George, way back in the “Year of the Bow” — 2012. She has hyperemesis gravidarum, which means that she basically has morning sickness from hell.  Because of the vomiting involved, it can and frequently does result in weight loss and dehydration. Dehydration is no joke and can absolutely be a valid cause for a trip to the hospital (well, if you’re rich and/or if you live in a country with a singer-payer healthcare system like so many people do). Thirdly, there’s another, unrelated clue that could be an idle comment (or perhaps a prophetic one) or could have been a deliberate attempt to “float” some news before an official announcement. Just a few weeks ago, in Poland, Kate received a gift ideal for a newborn baby. Charlotte is two years old and George is four, so … clearly the gift could not be for either of them. Kate simply said that she and William would have to have another child. That’s the sort of thing that parents might say as a joke to make someone not feel awkward about a less-than-ideal gift. Or … it might have been Kate easing that news to people, or even an inside joke with William. We’ve heard that Kate wants a third child despite William’s misgivings , but it’s more than possible that she’s talked him into it. (A third child is not just 50% more work than two children! This is a trap that often catches parents. Each successive child is more work, proportionately, than their siblings) So, we have an unexplained hospital visit, knowledge that Kate often gets sick while pregnant, and a “joke” in Poland. Coincidence? Signs are pointing to pregnancy, folks. We don’t know anything for sure, of course. But in the midst of their Brexit nightmare, the British people could probably use some good news. And what could be a more pleasant distraction from the incoming economic woes and worsening image on the world stage than a Royal Baby? Excitement does have diminishing returns, with Charlotte getting a little less aplomb than George did — simply because she was second. But we’re sure that there are plenty of Brits who’d love to lose their minds with joy and have something to actually celebrate about their country, since they’re currently powerless to change the dark course that the UK has chosen.

Derick Dillard Feuds With Fan Over Religious Beliefs on Twitter

Derick Dillard just can’t seem to steer clear of conflict these days. The 28-year-old husband of Jill Duggar has been such a burden to his in-laws’ public image lately that he’s been dubbed “the new Josh Duggar .”  Obviously, that nickname is way over the top, as it’s not like Dillard has been involved in any sort of sex scandal, but his combative persona has resulted in rumors that TLC will cancel Counting On r ather than weather the storm of another Duggar scandal. The most damaging that controversy sparked in recent weeks arose as a result of some appalling comments that Derick directed at Jazz Jennings , a fellow TLC reality star and transgender teen. “What an oxymoron… a ‘reality’ show which follows a non-reality. ‘Transgender’ is a myth. Gender is not fluid; it’s ordained by God,” Derick tweeted in an angry response to TLC’s promotions for I Am Jazz . In response to outraged fans demanding that Derick apologize to the 16-year-old girl, Derick replied, “I have nothing against him,” adding that “gender is ordained by God,” and cannot be changed by man. The Duggars have yet to put that ugly episode behind them, and there are those who believe Derick’s actions will cost the family their reality show . But far from taking a time out from social media, Derick seems to be tweeting more than ever these days. And he’s become no less combative as a result of his latest PR crisis. Taking advantage of Monday’s solar eclipse, Derick posted a seemingly innocuous tweet about his religious beliefs: “On a day when so many will be looking to the sun, let’s not miss the Son. #SolarEclipse2017 #EclipseSolar #JesusChrist,” he wrote. “The difference being that #SolarEclipse2017 is actually verifiable & #JesusChrist is not,” a fan tweeted in response. “Do we need to have a history lesson on the FACT that Jesus of Nazareth was a historical figure?” an irate Dillard fired back. Derick retweeted the non-believer’s response, and right on cue, dozens of his 123,000 followers pounced. Obviously, there’s nothing surprising about Derick’s religious views, as he’s been quite open about his beliefs throughout his time in the spotlight. But his decision to go nuclear in response to a rather civilly-worded dissenting view speaks volumes.  It’s interesting that Derick replied at all, as he chose not to respond to the many high profile figures who called him out following his tweets about Jazz Jennings . Like the rest of the Duggar clan, Derick usually doesn’t bother arguing with fans online. The reaction seems unnecessarily hostile (an ironic attitude to assume in a debate about Jesus), and given the recent events of his public life, we can’t help but think the pressure’s beginning to get to Derick.  Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Drake: Jealous of Rihanna-Hassan Jameel Relationship?

No need to engage in any of that past life-regression hypnosis nonsense. We already know you weren’t the best person in your previous incarnations, know why? Because if you were, you would’ve come back as Rihanna, of course! Sure there are richer, more famous, and even more talented celebrities, but no one on Earth can match Queen RiRi’s genius for living well. Sometimes, she overshadows massive parade floats with her bikini body at the Crop Over festival . Sometimes, she messes with the world’s most famous athletes in the middle of the NBA Finals just for the fun of it. In everything she does, Rihanna has spent years living the good life in a way that even most of her fellow famous millionaires can only imagine. And though it may have once seemed impossible, the 29-year-old music icon has recently stepped her game up once again. Back in June, we learned that Rihanna is dating Hassan Jameel , a billionaire Saudi billionaire, whom she’d been seeing on the sly for several months. Insiders say RiRi is head over heels, and it seems the situation has riled one of her most high-profile exes. Rihanna dated Drake twice in the past few years. Both times, it ended badly, but it seems Drizzy is still holding a torch for his most famous ex. “Drake has always had a thing for Rihanna, and still does,” a source tells Hollywood Life. “They’ve hooked up and tried dating numerous times over the past, but it’s never worked out to be a permanent thing, and that’s something he regrets to this day.” The insider says Drake recently sent a sly message to Rihanna via Instagram, posting a photo in which he’s rocking a pair of socks from her fashion line. “The socks photo was his way of ruffling Rihanna’s feathers and letting her know he’s still out there and thinking of her,” the source claims. The insider adds that Drake is well aware that he and Rihanna do not have a future together, but that’s not enough to stop him from lusting after her: “If they did try to date again it would likely never work out because it’s all about the passion and sex with them, and when everyday life starts to creep in they inevitably start drifting apart,” says the source. “But that doesn’t stop Drake lusting after her, and he can’t help thinking that Rihanna could be the one that got away.” Fortunately for Drizzy, there’s big money in radio-friendly breakup ballads.

American Horror Story Promo: Hillary! Trump! Dead Dogs!

Over the years, American Horror Story has centered seasons on witches, circus freaks and killers in black leather sex suits. But the upcoming season may be the strangest and scariest to date… because it will focus on the 2016 Presidential Election! Sort of! Creator Ryan Murphy has teased that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will both play some kind of role on American Horror Story: Cult, with the just-revealed opening credits sequence featuring characters donning the masks of both these polarizing figures. There are also bees depicted below, along with many creepy masks and dead dogs. What else do know about new fall episodes? Ryan has previously teased a “love story for the ages” between Sarah Paulson's character and that of Evan Peters… although Paulson will be married to a woman played by Allison Pill. “I think it's going to reveal itself in surprising ways,” Paulson said at the 2017 TCA summer press tour of her romance. Billie Lourd, Cheyenne Jackson, Colton Haynes, Billy Eichner, Adina Porter and Leslie Grossman will also star in the new season; while Lena Dunham, Frances Conroy and Mare Winningham will make appearances. “We've got bloody tension, a well-cooked meal, an exciting trip to a grocery store,” previewed executive producer Alexis Martin Woodall this summer of what’s on tap,adding: “I just think it is true to our brand, which is you're going to be in a whole new world all over again and fall in love with these really special characters and hate yourself for watching it right before you go to bed and love.” The 11-episode season will be set in Michigan and take place the night of the 2016 presidential election. American Horror Story: Cult premieres Tuesday, September 5 at 10/9c on FX. Check out the teaser below:

Audrey Roloff Shares ADORABLE Details of Her Pregnancy!

Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday that we learned Audrey and Jeremy Roloff were expecting their first child ? How are we supposed to relish reality star pregnancies when they just move so darn fast?! In reality, we’ve known about Audrey’s pregnancy for a good while now, but still, with all the things this family has been up to lately, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Molly had her wedding earlier this month, and Jacob has been working his way back into the family spotlight. And that’s not even touching on the birth of the insanely precious Jackson … But now it looks like things are settling down a bit, and with Audrey’s due date just days away — it’s September 1st!!! — all Roloff-loving eyes are on her. So thank goodness she gave this in-depth interview all about the impending birth of her baby, right?! About the little angel’s upcoming arrival, she says “I’d say we’re very excited, but there are definitely some nerves that come along with it!” “At this point, we’re just trying to relax and bring some calm back into our life.” She says that Jeremy “has the house almost wrapped up,” so “now we’re looking forward to spending these last few days just the two of us.” Speaking of Jeremy, Audrey explains that “One of the best things about big milestones in life is being able to do them alongside your spouse.” “Jeremy has been so patient with me during this process. I really couldn’t imagine doing it without him.” To give an example of the kind of doting soon-to-be father he’s been, she says “I have full confidence that when I need something, or even just want a scoop of ice cream, that he’ll be off the couch and getting it before I finish my sentence.” “I feel loved and am thankful for a husband like Jeremy.” But that adorable little story doesn’t mean she’s been spending her time asking her husband for ice cream! She says that she hasn’t really had any cravings during her pregnancy, except that “I craved sour candy in the beginning and have consistently craved sparking drinks.” Still, it’s nice to know that Jeremy is there for her if she does decide she needs anything! He’s not the only one, either — don’t forget, for a while there, she and her sister-in-law, Tori, were pregnant at the same time. “It’s been so fun being able to experience this season of life alongside Tori,” she says. “She and Zach are always so willing to answer any question we may have, or have us over to hang with Jackson and talk.” Sharing this time together has been “great,” she says, “and our sister bond is definitely strengthening through this process.” As close as they are, though, of course they won’t be in the delivery room when Audrey has the baby. “At this point,” she reveals, “I’m planning on it only being our midwife, Jeremy and our doula. We will have family and friends outside anxiously waiting, I’m sure!” She also says that “We’ve got one name in mind that we really like, but haven’t fully committed on it yet!” “We’ll probably name her once we see her beautiful face!” We can’t wait to see her beautiful face either, and we’re sure they’ll pick a beautiful name to match! Congrats again, Roloffs! View Slideshow: Audrey Roloff Baby Bump Pics: Look at It Grow!

Dick Gregory Dies; Iconic Comedian Was 84 Years Old

Dick Gregory, a legendary comic who was also well known for his work as a civil rights activist, died on Saturday in Washington D.C. He was 84 years old. Gregory had recently rescheduled an event in Atlanta due to a hospitalization, although the cause of his illness and his subsequent passing is unknown at this time. “The family appreciates the outpouring of support and love, and respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time,” wrote son Christian Gregory on social media, adding: “More details will be released over the next few days.” While serving as a member of the military in the 1950s, Gregory started his career as a stand-up comedian. He didn’t specialize in harmless, observational humor, however. Quite the opposite. Gregory satirized segregation and racial injustice in his acts; he was arrested several times in the 1960s for joining civil rights rallies. In 1961, he rose to prominence as the first black performer to perform at a white club after Hugh Hefner gave him a regular gig at the Playboy Club in Chicago.   He earned rave reviews at the time and eventually signed a three-year contract to serve as a headliner at the establishment. Always with an eye on societal issues greater than his own career, Gregory was once invited to perform on The Tonight Show in the days of Jack Paar… … refused unless he was able to have a seat on the couch. “He taught us how to laugh,” wrote Reverend Jesse Jackson upon learning of Gregory’s passing. “He taught us how to fight.He taught us how to live. “Dick Gregory was committed to justice.I miss him already. #RIP.” A motivational speaker later in life, Gregory wrote several books, including “Murder in Memphis,” which analyzed the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Also a writer – particularly respected for the documentary “Joe Louis: America’s Hero… Betrayed” – Gregory was ranked by Comedy Central as the 82nd best stand-up comic in history. “Dick Gregory lived an amazing, revolutionary life. A groundbreaker in comedy and a voice for justice,” John Legend Tweeted as a tribute to the icon, while DL Hughley added: “Heaven just got funnier.” We send our condolences to the loved ones of Dick Gregory. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam

Derek Jeter and Hannah Davis Welcome First Child!!!!!

Derek Jeter is the most clutch athlete in the history of modern day sports. But he’ll soon be faced with pressure-packed situations that make plate appearances in the World Series seem like relaxing walks in the park. How quickly can he change a dirty diaper?!?  Can he heat up breast milk in efficient fashion?!? Does he have a strong swaddling game?!? These questions are now more pertinent than ever because Jeter is a first-time father! Just a few minutes ago, The Players Tribune, an online publication started by the future Hall of Fame shortstop, posted the following message on Twitter: “Congratulations Derek and @hannahbjeter on the birth of your baby girl, Bella Raine Jeter, born Thursday, August 17.” No word yet on the child’s measurements or the exact time she entered the world, but we’re guessing she did so in dramatic fashion. Just based on the identity of her father. The retired New York Yankees star and the supermodel announced in February that they were expecting a baby girl. “Now, pregnant with our first child, Derek and I are looking to the future,” the model wrote on Jeter’s website . “Whatever her name is, I know she’ll run circles around him. In a post that went viral, she added of her bundle of her impending children: “They’re going to be born into such an extraordinary situation. They’re going to have to be some strong little people. “We don’t want them to be defined by their dad’s name – for them, we want him to just be ‘Dad.’ That will be the piece of him they’ll have that the rest of the world doesn’t. “It will be special, and it will be theirs.” Following this afternoon’s big announcement, the Yankees also took to Twitter to send their well wishes to the new parents, Tweeting: “Congrats to Derek & Hannah Jeter on the birth of their daughter, Bella Raine Jeter. We can’t wait to meet her!” What great timing, too. The Yankees are fresh off a four-game sweep of the New York Mets and start a three-game series against the hated Boston Red Sox tonight. Hannah and Derek can rock their little girl to sleep while seeing if the latter’s former team can give itself a legitimate shot to win the American League East by taking a couple games in this series. Jeter and Davis, it should be noted, began dating in 2012. They tied the knot on a golf course at Meadowood Napa Valley Resort in St. Helena, California, in July of 2016.

Tina Fey and Cake Yelling: See Twitter’s Mixed Reactions!

Before the news broke that  Steve Bannon was leaving the White House  to spend more time with the other three Horsemen, the biggest political news of the day was  Tina Fey's Cake Sketch from  SNL 's Weekend Update . We'll be honest — we watched it more than once this morning. In the video, Tina Fey devours a sheet cake in a frighteningly messy manner while roasting Trump over his horrendous response to the  Nazi rally and terrorist attack in Charlottesville  that left one dead and dozens more injured over the weekend.  Trump's initial weak response was bad enough, but to double down on saying that  maybe some Nazis are decent folks  days later was monstrous. Personally, I responded to that bewildering press conference by walking to get ice cream with my roommate. According to this bit of sketch comedy, Tina Fey had a similar idea — to cope by devouring an entire cake. The video has received a mixed reception, however, as some perceived Tina Fey's skit as suggesting that people shouldn't counter-protest when Nazis come to town. Tina does basically say that, but it's part of a skit and some aren't convinced that we're supposed to read that as genuine advice. Others see the entire skit as a parody of people choosing to be inactive in the face of evil. Satirizing people who just “sit out” of conflicts isn't the same as promoting that way of thinking, right? Twitter was pretty divided, but here's what people had to say: 1. First, someone who worked with Tina Honestly, we might try out some cake yelling. But with friends, and with tidy slices. 2. High praise … Like the rest of the world, JK Rowling has to keep up with US events even though she’s a Brit. 3. More cake talk … When you haven’t had cake in a really long time, all of this cake talk gets to you 4. Lady Gaga spoke up A lot of people feel frustrated and powerless and turn to comfort food. The stars: they’re just like us! 5. Grilled cheese is nice All that we can think about with this is Kristen Stewart comparing heterosexuality to eating grilled cheese. 6. Tina Fey got some criticism, though And people stepped up to defend her View Slideshow
