Piers Morgan BLASTS Meghan Markle in New Attack: Go Back to America!!

It will sadly not be any surprise to learn that the same awful dude who thinks that Meghan Markle is ruining Prince Harry is back at it. This time, notorious twonk Piers Morgan is putting the Duchess on blast for requesting privacy during an event. As he rails against her, he begins to demand that she “go back to America,” and even his poor cohost is scandalized. Meghan Markle attended a Wimbledon tennis match. Contrary to speculation, she was not seated in the royal box, but was invited as a friend of the player — Serena Williams. According to a report from the match, at least one person in the stands was asked to not photograph the Duchess. “Would you not take photographs of the Duchess?” a royal protection officer allegedly requested. The royal protection officer then explained: “She's here in a private capacity.” That sounds fair and reasonable, which is of course why Piers Morgan was outraged. Piers Morgan, who is actually paid money to voice his horrible thoughts, went on an unhinged rant on  Good Morning Britain . “You're public people, all of you!” Piers can be heard ranting in the video that we have included. “In that moment,” he continues. “You're public people.” “Stop your squealing about privacy!” Piers demands. “We don't want to hear it.” “If you want to be private, go back to America and live privately,” he instructs. “it’s pretty straightforward.” Susanna Reid, whose unenviable lot in life is to exist in physical proximity to Piers Morgan, did not like what she was hearing. “They don’t have to go back to America by the way,” she counters. “She does,” Piers insists. “She’s American!” “They don’t have to go back,” Susanna emphasizes, arguing: “She’s married an Englishman!” “She doesn’t want to be a British public figure in the royal family,” Piers says. “Go back to America.” As always, Piers wasn't interested in walking back his awful claims. He reitorated his attack on the only adult British royal family member of color in a later tweet. “It’s absurd for Ms Markle to demand privacy as she sits in the royal box on a publicly-funded jolly with her mates,” Piers asserted. Again, she was not seated in the royal box — that was debunked. She was literally just seated in the audience at Serena Williams' invitation. That's it. We mentioned before that Piers is leveling these attacks very conspicuously against the only adult black member of the family. This is not out of a desire to “pile on” attacks on Piers — honestly, every time that he opens his mouth, he gives critics nothing but ammunition. We mention it because his “go back to America” cries sound awfully familiar. There are those in both the UK and America who have suggested that black people who are unhappy in either nation should “go back to Africa.” That's a vile thing to say regardless, but especially cruel to people whose ancestors were abducted and brought over to be sold. Why is Piers ranting about Meghan Markle allegedly asking for a modicum of privacy while privately attending an event? Mostly because it's his job to stir up pointless controversy, though he still thinks he's some sort of newscaster. It's the same reason that Meghan McCain's huffing and endless name-dropping of “my father” has been a boon to The View . Having someone like Piers around means that every time that he puts his foot in his mouth, Good Morning Britain is a hot topic. But even Piers could try to reel it in when it comes to Meghan, who has faced so much racist hate since her engagement to Harry was announced.

Jenelle Evans Celebrates Milestone with Newly-Reunited Son

For Jenelle Evans, what a difference a week make. Like, what a major difference a week makes. Just consider the following… On July 1, the disgraced ex-Teen Mom star was unsure what the future would bring, as she prepared to attend yet another custody hearing during which she and violent husband David Eason would plead their case. At that time, they had no idea whether their kids would ever be returned to their care. Fast forward seven days, however, and not only are two-year old Ensley and five-year old Kaiser once again living with their famous mother — but Jenelle is sharing photo of her and the latter child celebrating a milestone in the toddler’s life. “Super happy!” Evans Tweeted along with the above photo on Monday, adding: “Kaiser’s school is going to ‘re-do’ his Pre-K Graduation just for him with all his friends since he missed it. Can’t wait to see my Bubba walk… “You did it Bubba! I couldn’t be more proud of you. Now it’s time for the Big Boy School! Extremely grateful Kaiser’s school did their own ceremony for him, since he missed his. #Blessed #Bittersweet.” Addressing Kaiser himself on Instagram, while posting the same snapshot, Jenelle wrote: You’re so perfect . Evans and Eason, of course, lost custody of Kaiser and her sister (and 11-year old Maryssa, David’s daughter from a previous relationship) after Eason shot and killed their family dog. This act prompted a visit from Child Protective Service, who finally intervened and determined the kids were being raised in an unsafe environment. Off Kaiser went to live with his dad, Nathan Griffith, for several weeks; while Ensley was taken in by Jenelle’s mother, Barbara Evans. A North Carolina judge decreed on July 3 that there was insufficient evidence against Jenelle and David to keep their kids away, ordering the young ones to be sent back to Eason and Evans by 10 a.m. EST on July 4. Jenelle promptly shared a number of pictures fron the holiday weekend of her kids having fun in the water. Which is great, obviously. These kids deserve to have all the fun every day of the week. But is Evans celebrating prematurely? Is she really out of the parental woods? Griffith has made it very clear that he won’t stop fighting for custody of Kaiser . For now, though, Jenelle is acting and sounding as if the children are hers forever and ever … which, odds are, will be the case moving forward. “I am ecstatic to regain custody of my kids,” she said in a statement after the custody drama was brought to a conclusion last week, adding: “Throughout this long process and final decision, I am excited to be moving forward and continuing to show America I’m a good parent.” (NOTE: That’s not really a grammatical sentence, Jenelle.) Jenelle went on to say on her Instagram Story that their kids are “happy as can be” back at home — and also revealed her plans to regain custody of her nine-year-old son, Jace, who has lived with his grandma for most of his life. We’re really sorry about that, Jace. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Claims She Was THIS Close to Leaving David Eason

Jodi Benson, The Original “Little Mermaid,” Defends Halle Bailey Being Cast As Ariel

Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN The Original Ariel Responds To Everyone Mad At Disney’s Casting Decision As you’ve probably already heard by now, one of the biggest stories last week was the news that 19-year-old singer and actress Halle Bailey has been cast as Ariel in a live-action remake of  The Little Mermaid . You might know Halle from her group with her sister Chloe x Halle, or maybe you’ve seen her staring on Grown-ish with Yara Shahidi . Whether you’ve been a fan of Halle for a while now or this casting decision was your first time hearing of her, the second you hear her angelic singing voice there’s no doubt that she is absolutely perfect to portray the famous mermaid. Of course, racists with nothing better to do were up in arms over this decision, adopting the hashtag  #NotMyAriel and complaining that Disney cast a black performer in the role. While some people sat on their phones all day and cried about a fictional mermaid not being white, celebrities and friends of Halle all rallied behind the young star to show their support after the decision was announced. Freeform, the network that airs Grown-ish , even published a great response to everyone who thinks because Ariel is a Danish fairy tale, she has to be white. View this post on Instagram An open letter to the Poor, Unfortunate Souls: ______ #TheLittleMermaid #Ariel #MyAriel A post shared by Freeform (@freeform) on Jul 6, 2019 at 6:16pm PDT One of the most notable responses to come from this, though, was from Jodi Benson , the woman who voiced Ariel in Disney’s original animated film back in 1989. The singer just made an appearance at Supercon in Florida , where she was asked about the controversy–and she was ready to defend Halle, Disney, and their decision to cast the star as the newest iteration of Ariel. “I think that the spirit of a character is what really matters,” she replied. “What you bring to the table in a character as far as their heart, and their spirit, is what really counts. And the outside package — cause let’s face it, I’m really, really old — and so when I’m singing “Part of Your World,” if you were to judge me on the way that I look on the outside, it might change the way that you interpret the song. But if you close your eyes, you can still hear the spirit of Ariel. We need to be storytellers. And no matter what we look like on the outside, no matter our race, our nation, the color of our skin, our dialect, whether I’m tall or thin, whether I’m overweight or underweight, or my hair is whatever color, we really need to tell the story.” In other words, #NotMyAriel hashtaggers can stay mad! If the original Ariel is cool with this new casting decision, how can you justify being mad over fake issues of “authenticity”? Halle Bailey is going to absolutely crush her role as Ariel and that’s all that needs to be said.

Rip Torn Dies; Veteran Film and TV Star Was 88

Rip Torn, an Emmy-Award winning actor known for a number of high-profile movie and television roles, died on Tuesday at his home in Connecticut.  He was 88 years old. The veteran actor’s publicist confirmed the news, telling outlets that Torn’s wife and two daughters were by his side when he passed away.  No cause of death has been given at this time, however. Throughout a career that incredibly spanned six decades, Torn established himself as a versatile performer who could excel in drama or comedy; on the big screen, small screen or in front of a live audience. He appeared in 10 Broadway plays overall, even directing one, along with over 80 feature films, and dozens of television programs. He may forever be remembered most, however, for his role on HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show, on which he played a TV produer and won his aforementioned Emmy. The late star’s  real name was Elmore Rual Torn Jr. He was born in Temple, Texas in 1931 and he studied acting at Texas A&M and the University of Texas prior to serving a stint in the Army and then heading to Los Angeles in the mid-1950s. Torn made his movie debut with an uncredited role in Elia Kazan’s 1956 film Baby Doll before relocating to New York City to study at the Actor’s Studio. The actor went on to made his Broadway debut in 1959 as part of the original cast of Tennessee Williams’ Sweet Bird of Youth, portraying Tom, Jr., a character he would reprise for the feature film and TV movie adaptations. He was nominated for a Tony award in 1960 and received a Theater World award for his performance. On television Torn played such real-life and important figures as Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson and Walt Whitman. Known not just for his unique name and talent but also for his gravely drawl and sinister-looking smile, Torn excelled at playing shady, amoral characters and outright villains. But he could also merge this side of his personality with a comedic side, which is why many readers may recognize him as Patches O’Houlihan from the 2004 movie Dodge: An Underdog Story. “If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball,” he said in maybe the film’s most memorable line. For many others, Torn will always be closely associated with the role of Artie on The Larry Sanders Show. He received six Emmy nominations, winning once in 1996, and over the show’s run was also nominated for two American Comedy awards (winning one), an American Television Award, and four Cable Ace awards (winning one), among numerous other accolades. “R.I.P Rip Torn. He was so great in Defending Your Life.  I’ll miss you Rip, you were a true original,” Tweeted Albert Brooks in response to this sad piece of news, while Will Smith added a photo of himself and the actor from Men In Black and wrote: R.I.P. Rip. Torn was married three times: To Ann Wedgeworth from 1955 to 1961, to Geraldine Page from 1963 until her death in 1987, and to Amy Wright from 1989 until his death. He is survived by Wright, his five children, his sister, and four grandchildren. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

10 Cringeworthy Scenes From 90’s Flicks That Wouldn’t Hold Up In Today’s Climate

Go here to see the original:

Source: Universal Pictures / Handout / Getty Ask anyone born before 2000, and they’ll agree that the 90’s was such a special time for everyone. Television was booming with Black talent and filmmakers like Spike Lee and John Singleton weren’t afraid to tell the raw truth about the issues plaguing the African American communities. The entertainment industry also had the creative license to do and say whatever they wanted no matter what demographic they offended — hence the reason we have films like American Pie . I miss the old raunchy movies they had out back in my day, like Freddy Got fingered, Road Trip, American Pie movie. Bring the classics back! pic.twitter.com/e61L4Af4WV — B1GPAT (@B1G_PAT) June 30, 2019 Today marks the 20th anniversary of American Pie , the raunchy 1999 comedy that follows four teenage boys (played by Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas and Eddie Kaye Thomas) on a quest to lose their virginities before graduation. The movie was such a huge deal for young Americans when it hit theaters; but if watched by young adults today, they’d have a totally different reaction to some of those gruesome scenes. Like the scene when Jason Biggs’ character sets up his computer camera to record the foreign exchange student changing her clothes, without her consent. That’s a sexual crime lawsuit waiting to happen. With so many powerful, life changing movements shifting the climate today , (and a culture of people being offended by the smallest thing) there’s not much room to express oneself fully without offending someone. Obviously, we all need to be a bit more mindful of the content we put out, but hit the flip to check out scenes from films that just wouldn’t fly today.

Meghan Markle Tell-All Book Idea Shot Down HARD By Palace!

Meghan Markle just wants to get her creative juices flowing. But the Hollywood actress-turned-royal Duchess is finding it difficult to adapt to her new life filled with strict rules set in place by the palace.  Rules that are apparently restricinting her from writing a book.  A tell-all book to be exact, a book that is basically everything we have ever wanted and more, but the palace is silencing Markle’s wish. And the people’s dreams.  Radar Online recently reported that the Duchess of Sussex is feeling “oppressed by the palace” ever since they immediately shut down her idea of writing a tell-all memoir. A source told Radar that the new mom had the idea of releasing a part lifestyle bible, part memoir to document her rise to royalty and all the struggles that come with it. But not at all to our surprise, the palace was not fond of the idea.  “Meghan had started keeping notes about her life, which will include a few personal details about Harry and baby Archie, but will mainly focus on her lifestyle, health, fashion and design choices,” shared the insider. “The only problem is, palace staffers — and the Queen — are firm in their disapproval, worrying that it will be received as a salacious tell-all.” But come on Meghan is a woman of class, and she wouldn’t dare bash the family’s regal history — at least, not too bad anyway. Some, however, believe Meghan to be a nuisance to the kingdom and think she has been rubbing the royals the wrong way ever since she married Prince Harry in May 2017 . Also, considering the many reports on Meghan’s on-going feud with Kate Middleton , her too trendy of fashion choices, and her outrageous Hollywood diva requests, the palace is terrified her book would be a chance to expose or embarrass them. “They’re terrified she’ll accidentally expose palace secrets and cause embarrassment and are demanding she knocks the project on the head,” said the source. “Meghan can’t help but feel that once again, her creative talents are being stifled at every turn.”  But we’re sure Meghan will find a way to win back her creative freedom. The palace knows Meghan isn’t one to follow the rules,  times are changing and the monarch is evolving, so we suggest they buckle up. She may be a rebel , but she’s a rebel with beautiful coats, dresses, and a baby , so who really cares.  Meghan has plenty of time and many more years ahead of her as Duchess — we are sure a tell-all book will be released one day.  (fingers crossed)  View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!
