Kate Middleton: Pressure to Get Pregnant Again Taking Physical Toll on Duchess?

The irony of the deluge of recent speculation that Prince William got Kate Middleton pregnant again is that she’s looking thinner than usual if anything. It’s this recent observation that has put the is-she-or-isn’t-she-debate to rest, while at the same time giving way to the latest round of royal rumors: The PRESSURE TO GET PREGNANT is stressing her out beyond belief! All the alleged ” Kate Middleton baby bump ” sightings felt slightly credible – at least as gossip items go – because her post-baby weight was holding steady. More or less, anyway. But lately, she’s as slender as we can remember. Is she so consumed by trying to conceive a sibling for George that it’s taking a physical toll? So stressed from her daily routine that it’s literally eating her away? Probably not. She’s a naturally slender woman, people. Just deal. This week, she wore a cerulean LK Bennett dress that accentuated her waistline, and put to rest any of the whispers that she’s a few months along. Sorry, Jessica Hay . Your royal “sources” were off the mark, babe. Maybe something is indeed going behind royal doors that’s impacting her health. We have zero way of knowing. But we would wager heavily on the contrary. This is a woman who epitomizes class, grace and dignity, who carries herself with a certain humility despite having married, and birthed, an heir to the throne. Not only was she named to the Best Dressed Hall of Fame , she’s someone who’s never given us a reason to doubt her in terms of the way she lives her life. Perhaps most significantly, Kate’s body shape has never fluctuated or changed all that much aside from during her pregnancy. Photos and outfits vary naturally. Let’s give her a little break with the weight speculation, shall we? Kate Middleton: Her 29 Best Looks 1. Kate Middleton in Jenny Packham Kate Middleton looking stunning as ever.

Kelly Clarkson on MTV VMAs: So Many "Pitchy Strippers!"

Kelly Clarkson is not one to stir up any kind of controversy over the Internet. But even this singer could not resist taking a dig at Miley Cyrus following that artist’s ridiculous routine at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, taking to Twitter and hilarious writing: “Just saw a couple performances from the VMA’s last night. 2 words…. #pitchystrippers.” Granted, Clarkson did not name Miley by name – but did any other performer prance around with a fake penis while Twerking and wearing nude-colored underwear? The Cyrus performance – both her own version of “We Can’t Stop” and her raunchy duet with Robin Thicke on “Blurred Lines” – is making waves across the World Wide Web. But for the right reasons? Or did Miley go too far ? Sound off now: What did you think of her time on stage at the VMAs?   So great! So terrible! What… was … THAT?!? View Poll »

PTC Slams MTV Video Music Awards as Manipulative, Inappropriate for Teenagers

Kelly Clarkson may have been joking around in her critique of the MTV Video Music Awards as including too many pitchy strippers , but The Parents Television Council does not see this as a laughing matter. In a scathing rebuke of the network and the event, the PTC released a statement today that focused on a rating that somehow claimed the show was appropriate for kids as young as 14. “MTV has once again succeeded in marketing sexually charged messages to young children using former child stars and condom commercials – while falsely rating this program as appropriate for kids as young as 14. This is unacceptable,” wrote PTC Director of Public Policy Dan Isett. “This much is absolutely clear: MTV marketed adults-only material to children while falsely manipulating the content rating to make parents think the content was safe for their children.” As you might expect, the main subjects of the PTC’s outage were Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga . Continued the press release: “MTV continues to sexually exploit young women by promoting acts that incorporate ‘ twerking ’ in a nude-colored bikini. How is this image of former child star Miley Cyrus appropriate for 14-year-olds? How is it appropriate for children to watch Lady Gaga strip down to a bikini in the opening act? How is it appropriate for 14-year-olds to see a condom commercial and a promo for an R-rated movie during the first commercial break?” The statement goes on to say MTV should not get away with such acts merely because it is a cable network – and it includes a call to action. “We urge Congress to pass the Television Consumer Freedom Act which will give parents and consumers a real solution for future MTV VMA programs – the ability to choose and pay for cable networks that they want vs. having to pay for networks they don’t want. After MTV’s display last night, it’s time to give control back to consumers.” The PTC has previously come down on MTV for such programs as Jersey Shore, 16 and Pregnant, and Teen Mom.

Royal Baby Thank You Notes: CUTE!

Anyone who sent a note or a gift congratulating Kate Middleton and Prince William in the past month got a thank you note – and a royally cute one at that! The 31-year-olds are sending notes of thanks to the well-wishers who reached out following the birth of the Royal Baby, Prince George, on July 22. The image on the front of the card is one of the first Royal Baby photos , in which the family stood on the steps of the Lindo Wing after his birth. Kate Middleton is wearing her instantly-infamous cornflower blue and white polka dot Jenny Packham dress, cradling Prince George in her arms. Reads a note on the back of the card: “Their Royal Highnesses have been overwhelmed by the wonderful messages and gifts they have received and send you their warmest thanks and best wishes.” A spokesperson said they “are slowly going through a backlog” of all the warm wishes sent by members of the public, and cards will continue to be sent out. The duo also sent cards to those who congratulated them on their pregnancy late last year, and that card featured Kate in another Jenny Packham frock. Symmetry. And gracious beauty. Hopefully, more Prince George photos will be released and used on more Royal Family stationary … holiday cards, perhaps? Fingers crossed!

Jessica Biel Wedding dress

It’s hard to define Jessica Biel‘s style; she’s one who often takes fashion risks and experiments with looks from a variety of designers. And until we see photos Wednesday, we’re left to imagine what she wore when she tied the knot with Justin Timberlake in Italy on Friday. So we did just that! Something like Jenny Packham’s plunging (but tasteful) white gown (left) would have given Biel that edge she sometimes goes for, plus femininity in the crystal beading and cut. On the other hand, this N

Kate Middleton Surprises Again With Emerald Gown

Kate Middleton has officially stepped outside of her fashion comfort zone! In London Friday, the Duchess of Cambridge worked the red carpet at the BOA Olympic Concert dress in a stunning emerald Jenny Packham pleated gown. The design, which featured a low-cut neckline and a sheer, lace back, is accented with a crystal-adorned ribbon that cinched the royal’s waist. Take a look: The 30-year-old fashion icon paired the breathtaking dress with Jimmy Choo “Vamp” platform glitter sandals and a matching Jenny Packham bespoke clutch. The more-revealing-than-normal number wasn’t her only new look this week. Kate Middleton’s dress earlier this week turned heads due to its slit up the leg. Kate, who arrived hand-in-hand with her husband Prince William, wore her hair in an elaborate braided chignon that ensured the dress’ sheer back was on display. Another resounding style win, wouldn’t you say? For many more of the fashionable royal’s looks, follow the link for THG’s gallery of Kate Middleton pics ! [Photo: WENN.com]

SAG Awards Red Carpet Ruled By Pastels, Sexy Details

Emma Stone, Lea Michele and Angelina Jolie flaunt what they’ve got in couture on Sunday night. By Jocelyn Vena Angelina Jolie at the 2012 SAG Awards Photo: Getty Images The SAG Awards may honor actors and their hard work, but on the red carpet on Sunday (January 29), it was all about recognizing all of the hard work they put into their looks. At the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, the overarching trend seemed to be flaunting what you’ve got. For photos of the stars on the SAG Awards red carpet, click here. Zoe Saldana went light in a sequined white dress with a drop waist and floral detailing. Kristin Wiig’s look, though, had a bit of a split personality: Her pale-hued Balenciaga gown was decidedly glam thanks to tailoring that showed off her long, lean body, but her black metal choker was a bit too heavy and goth for the overall look. Two of the biggest divas on Fox’s “Glee,” Lea Michele and Naya Rivera, made pale colors look red-hot. Michele’s lavender Versace had a body-hugging bodice and thigh-high slit, while Rivera’s ice-blue dress was made even sexier thanks to a plunging neckline. Red also ruled the carpet. “My Week With Marilyn” star Michelle Williams was chic in a bright-red Valentino dress, which was cut right above the ankle. Her ladylike look was capped off with lace detailing along her sleeves and neckline. “Dexter” star Jennifer Carpenter also opted for a red-and-lace red-carpet look. Using a similar color palette, Sofia Vergara’s hot pink, strapless Marchesa gown was super hot. Her “Modern Family” co-star Julie Bowen went Grecian in a purple gown. Emma Stone, Angelina Jolie, Tina Fey and Ashlee Simpson decided that a little black dress wasn’t too simple for Sunday’s show. Jolie played up her inner vixen in a Jenny Packham halter gown with a draped neckline. Meanwhile, Stone went quirky in a three-quarter-length strapless black dress with lace details. “The Help” star played up the fun aspect of the Alexander McQueen design with platform shoes. Simpson, meanwhile, looked like a character right out of boyfriend Vincent Piazza’s show “Boardwalk Empire” in a ’20s-style Jenny Packham gown with sequins and see-through fabric along the neckline. Fey brought the “va va voom” in her black strapless column dress: It was all party on top — with grey and black shades — and business at the bottom in a plain black fabric. The guys didn’t disappoint, either. Fellas like Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Jonah Hill kept it classic and simple in tuxedos, choosing ties over bowties. One guy, however, had a little fun with it, and that honor went to “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who wore a blue pinstripe suit with a matching blue-velvet bowtie.

Golden Globe Fashion Face-Off: J. Lo vs. JLH

Before Jennifer Lopez can critique American Idol contestants this season, we’re here to judge the singer and her style at last night’s Golden Globe Awards. As she tries to climb back on to the A-list, J. Lo showed up at the event and handed out hardware alongside Alec Baldwin.

Alas, she lost out to Claire Danes in the category of Best Actress in a Television Movie. But could JLH make up for that loss with a victory in the following poll? You tell us.
