Princess Charlotte Starts Preschool, Poses for Cutest Photos EVER

The world may be anxiously awaiting the birth of Kate Middleton’s third child , but we’d like to take a moment and pay tribute to her second child. Not because there’s anything wrong with Princess Charlotte, of course. But because there’s so much right with the two-year old. Namely, she is REALLY cute! On Monday morning, the toddler started her run at Willcocks Nursery School, which is situated next door to London’s Royal Albert Hall and which is very close to her family’s Kensington Palace home. In recognition of the life milestone, the Royal Family unveiled two new portraits of Charlotte, who turns three years old on May 2. And, in a fun little twist, both were snapped by Middleton herself! “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte at Kensington Palace this morning,” said a Palace spokesman along with the snapshots, adding: “The images were taken by The Duchess shortly before Princess Charlotte left for her first day of nursery at the Willcocks Nursery School.” Seriously, Kate, it’s not enough for you to be beautiful, fashionable, and, by all accounts, charitable and kind? You must be an ace photographer as well?!? Charlotte posed for the very cute photos on the steps outside her Kensington Palace residence, holding on to a railing in the picture immediately above. The tiny Royal donned a $150 burgundy Razorbil wool coat by Amaia and paired  itwith stone-colored tights, red shoes and a matching red bow. She carried a pink backpack by Cath Kidston. Saying of Charlotte’s famous parents, an insider told People Magazine: “They chose [this school] because they thought it would be an ideal first step for Charlotte’s education and they were impressed by the team who work there.” Makes sense. That’s basically why any parents would choose any school. Charlotte’s older brother, Prince George, started nursery school at the same age as Charlotte, back in in January of 2016. (He’s now four years old . How crazy is that?!?) George attended a Montessori school just a short drive from the family’s country house, Anmer Hall. He began his educational life on a part-time basis, however, while Charlotte will be attending full time. She’s clearly serious about school already. This is all very exciting, of course. And we wish Charlotte the best. But the real exciting news for her parents is that they are about to become parents again ! She’s due in April and may be having twins , which, if true, would more or less cause the Internet to explode. And right after Kate gives birth, Prince Harry will marry Meghan Markle. Indeed, it’s a very busy time for members of the Royal Family. Be sure to bookmark The Hollywood Gossip in order to be kept apprised of all their movements, marriages, births and more!

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk: We’re Engaged!

Gwyneth Paltrow's latest issue of Goop has something new — and no, it's not yet another suggestion that readers stuff rocks up their vaginas for better sex . Well, that might be in there too, for all we know. But the big story, as you'll see in the video below, is … Gwyneth Patlrow and Brad Falchuk confirm are confirming their engagement! Back in November, we told you that Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk are engaged . Gwyneth Paltrow is, of course, a legendary actress who's also more than dabbled in … what's a nice word for quackery ? Let's go with “self-help” and “wellness,” through her Goop magazine. Brad Falchuk is an unnecessarily handsome writer who's been a fellow creative and even co-creator on a number of Ryan Murphy projects, from Glee to Scream Queens to American Horror Story . Their cozy romance has warmed even our cold hearts a time or two, including when Gwyneth and Brad showed off an actually good Halloween costume . Couples costumes can say a lot about the couple themselves. When we reported that the couple was engaged, that was a little over a month ago and it was based upon, well, other reports. They hadn't made an official announcement. Now, though, Gwyneth and Brad have come forward with an official announcement: they're engaged. They made their announcement in the newest issue of Goop, because of course they did. Good Morning America reported the couple's statement. “We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives, when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship.” That statement is almost normal for Gwyneth. Compared to her “conscious uncoupling” from ex, Chris Martin, it sounds like what a non-bonkers person would say in their announcement. (Though we wonder if there's some sort of special, weird, New Age significance to “juncture in our lives” and “building blocks” but … let's try to give them the benefit of the doubt) As a public figure, Gwyneth is often disliked by people who are tired of her Goop . (She thinks people only dislike her because she's a woman , but misogyny is, for once, not the primary source of ire) But she must be very likable in person, because Brad Falchuk's clearly fallen for her. (No, we don't just think that he's there for the great, Goop -approved anal sex ) Gwyneth and Brad reportedly discussed the possibility of engagement for at least a year before they decided to actually take that step. It's so good that they decided to wait. A lot of people fall in love and think that it's forever, and rush into a doomed marriage. But Gwyneth and Brad have both been in very lengthy relationships — and even marriages — before. This isn't their first rodeo, so they considered things carefully. And, as Good Morning America reveals, deciding that they should consciously couple was about one thing in particular. .. Where to go out to dinner? Well, more accurately, about what sort of things they can see themselves arguing about when they're 90. Which they imagine will still be about where to go out for dinner. We hope that things go well for them. Sometimes, what's a playful argument during your first few years of a relationship can grow old and bitter when you're decades older.

Meri Brown: 19 Shocking Facts About the Sister Wives Star!

Meri Brown has been a key cast member on Sister Wives ever since the premiere of this controversial reality show. But just because she's been in the spotlight for a number of years, that doesn't mean she's a known commodity. Far from it, in fact. Scroll down for a list of Meri Brown facts and figures that may come as a shock, even to those who watch Sister Wives online (or on television) each and every week… 1. She Was HOW Old When She Married Kody Brown? Only 19, way back in 1990. Meri was studying to be a psychologist at one point, but gave it up once the reality show became a hit after its 2010 premiere. 2. For How Long Did She Know Kody Before They Got Married? Just four months. They got engaged after just two months. 3. She Has HOW Many Siblings?!? Six in total: four sisters (Teresa Barber, Rebekah Barber, Elaine Barber, Deborah Barber) and two brothers (Adam Barber and Marc William Barber). 4. Meri and Kody Struggled with Infertility for Years They tried to have kids from the very beginning, but it took them nearly a half decade. Finally, Meri and Kody welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mariah Brown, on July 29,1995. 5. When Did Meri and Kody Get Divorced? In 2014, after almost 25 years of marriage. But she has remained on the show and by Kody’s side ever since. 6. Wait… What? Why and How? She only agreed to the divorce so that Kody could adopt Robyn’s three children from another marriage, which is something which Meri hinted at during an episode of Sister Wives, saying: “If ever I’m having an emotional moment about what I’ve lost, I just think, it’s not about me, it’s about the kids.” View Slideshow

Teresa Giudice: Vacationing With a Lover?! Openly Prepping for Divorce?!

While Teresa Giudice spent her 11 months in prison, it was reported numerous times that Joe Giudice didn’t exactly keep his hands to himself. Now that Joe’s taking his turn behind bars for a couple of years, some say that it’s Teresa’s turn to cheat. Others say that it’s okay, because she’s getting a divorce from Joe anyway. A report says that Teresa’s no longer keeping things with her lover under wraps — that she’s openly vacationing with him. How soon is she getting divorced? They say that if you can’t do the time, you shouldn’t do the crime. They also say that no one is above the law. While the latter has yet to be demonstrated for Presidents, it’s definitely true that starring on The Real Housewives of New Jersey doesn’t make you above being dragged into court and sentenced to prison. Years before Countess Luann de Lesseps was arrested for kicking a police officer , Teresa Giudice became a Real Housewife of the Big House. (Side note: we would be very intrigued by a television series by that name) The judge was kind enough to, for the sake of the Giudice children, sentence Teresa and her husband, Joe, to serve non-concurrent sentences. While Teresa was locked away — she ended up serving only 11 of her 15 months — Joe was with the couples’ children. And, reportedly, he was with other women who were not his daughters. By which we mean that he was allegedly cheating on Teresa Giudice left and right. Teresa said that she didn’t believe those rumors but … What are we to make of this photo that she shared over the weekend? Teresa posted this photo of herself with Loren B. La Forge-Kyriakoulis at dinner, captioning it: “Dinner with a great friend lots of laughs @laforgekyriakoulis # webothlovefood #greekfood” Now, that might be a totally innocuous social media post. (Teresa’s actually been uncharacteristically quiet on social media, lately) But La Forge is a divorce attorney. Is Teresa posting a photo with a friend … or a hint that she’s gearing up to leave Joe? To top it all off, RadarOnline reports that not only is Teresa cheating on Joe, she recently took her secret lover on vacation. “Teresa went to Cancun for the holidays with her boyfriend,” a source reported to them. And apparently they’ve reached a place in their (alleged) relationship where she’s fine having this mystery guy around her family. “Her dad was even there, so she’s hardly hiding it anymore!” Is this the case? If so, it sounds like she’s gearing up to let Joe rot behind bars. Honestly? We’re not necessarily convinced that she’s cheating on Joe. They have a long, complicated relationship, but not even her frenemy Danielle Staub believes that Teresa’s cheating. (And not, we think, just because Teresa Giudice apologized in a recent episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey ) If Teresa’s dinner with La Forge was really about divorce, then it may be that Teresa’s gearing up to leave Joe … for reasons other than a lover of her own. For one thing? Joe is an Italian immigrant. He’s not a US citizen, and may end up getting deported when his prison sentence ends. She may be preparing for that drama now. Or, again, she may have just been out to dinner with a friend. We don’t know. View Slideshow: Teresa and Joe Giudice: Getting DIVORCED Over Cheating Allegations?!
