Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Shown in Bed in Steamy Movie Teaser

Lifetime is coming out with Meghan & Harry: A Royal Romance . That's right, folks. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's romance, portrayed on screen for your viewing consumption. They've released a short teaser trailer (which you can see below) and, despite its brevity, there is so much in it. And it looks surprisingly steamy . Our first big takeaway from the trailer is that the actress whom they selected to portray Meghan Markle has a surprising likeness to her. Parisa Fitz-Henley is a stunningly beautiful actress, and she could almost be MegMar's sister. The real Meghan seems to be plagued with opportunistic siblings who are more interested in making trouble for her by speaking to the media than they are in celebrating her happiness. While Murray Fraser, the actor portraying Prince Harry, is a handsome ginger man, he doesn't seem to almost trick viewers at certain angles in the same way that Fitz-Henley does. Looking at her in this trailer, you might swear that she's the real deal. (Part of that, admittedly, is the wig) Our second big takeaway from this trailer is that … it looks like it's very much a Lifetime film. Not to be mean, but a lot of what we see in the trailer looks less like the setting of a royal romance and more like … what people would like to imagine is the most romantic. So … the sorts of dates that you'd see on The Bachelor . That's a product of a few factors. One, this royal couple has always been fairly private about their romance. As private as you can be when the whole world is watching, anyway. A lot of their real-life dates have taken place behind closed doors. Producers had to make do with guesswork. Two, they're trying to tell a romantic story and cash in on fans of the real thing as well as on hate-watchers or those who will tune in ironically. Three, this is a Lifetime movie, and they're not going to break the bank on this, folks. Before you ask, no, Murray Fraser is not the actor who impersonated Prince Harry on I Can Marry “Harry” … which continues to be one of the most controversial reality shows of all time. That actor was Matthew Hicks, who had previously worked as a Prince Harry impersonator, which is one of the most niche jobs that one can possibly imagine. Murray Fraser is a real actor — in fact, he and Parisa had such a good time on the set of  Meghan & Harry: A Royal Romance  that they've been posting on social media about wanting to work on another project together. Not all actors who play love interests get along so well. In fact, a lot of actors find it awkward to interact with those with whom they've filmed bedroom scenes. We never thought that we'd say this, but Lifetime is really pushing the envelope, here. Bedroom scenes — including, as you'll see in the teaser, naked bedroom scenes — aren't unheard of, obviously. But portraying a royal couple in the nude and in bed together is going to ruffle some feathers. Not only is the British Royal Family an important symbol for the United Kingdom (well, at least, for the British), but they're treated reverently in certain ways beyond how one might treat a politician or mascot. Remember, there are still monarchists in this world (really) who believe that the European royal lines were divinely ordained. Not everyone is going to take kindly to seeing a royal couple portrayed like this: That said, some people don't like the real couple. Remember, Meghan Markle was targeted by a racist hate crime . A website linked to the terrorist group Daesh claims to have Meghan Markle's nudes and sexts and has threatened to release more unless the UK withdraws its troops from the Middle East. Which … is not going to happen for a lot of reasons. Mostly because Parliament does not actually set policy based upon the electronic activity of a future duchess. Who knew? (It's also not going to happen because the claims that they have video of her pleasuring herself with a pig's foot sounds … super fake, for various reasons) This May, you can tune in to Lifetime to watch someone's fanfiction of MegMar living out the dreams of a lot of girls who grew up in the '90s. Also this may, you can actually watch Meghan Markle and Prince Harry get married . That's on the 19th.

Lauren Burnham and Arie Luyendyk: How Long Will They Last?

We want to do it quickly! So Luyendyk told People Magazine this week about his impending wedding to Lauren Burnham. The disgraced Bachelor explained to the publication that he and his second-and-then-first choice for a wife have been planning their big day for months and that it will definitely happen this year. But will it, though? Will it really?!? Fans around the globe are wondering whether Arie and Lauren will truly make it down the aisle, partly due to the roundabout way in which they got together: First, Arie dumped Lauren for Becca Kufrin. Then, he proposed to Becca. Then, he called Lauren around New Year’s, told her he still had feelings for her and learned she was still interested in him. Then, he gathered with an ABC camera crew and told Becca that he wanted to have a romantic weekend with her in Los Angeles. Then, he dumped her . Then, he proposed to Lauren on last night’s After the Rose special. And…that brings us to today! Arie and Lauren are well aware that they are plenty of doubters out there, as well as plenty of haters. “We don’t really care what anyone else has to say,” Burnham tells People of her critics, but we can’t imagine she really means this. And whatever, the point right now is not whether Lauren and Arie are concerned about the opinions of others… the point is whether others are correct. Kelly Ripa, for example, responded to someone on Twitter last night who predicted that Arie and Lauren will last for 100 days as a couple. “You’re being generous,” the talk show host joked in response. Yet we somehow don’t think she was joking. No matter how in love Bachelor-based couples look on television, the following fact remains: Only one of 22 Bachelors has actually married the woman to whom he proposed on the show. Granted, Arie did not technically propose to Lauren on the show itself. He proposed on the after -show — but does this really give anyone comfort? Does it really make anyone think there’s a very long-term future for the couple? Both Arie and Lauren are saying all the right things, too. “Love is not always perfect,” Arie tells People, getting all profound and adding: “Everyone finds each other in a different way. It’s not always a fairy tale, but as long as Lauren and I have each other, we’re happy.” Burnham, meanwhile, claims the way Arie selected Becca and then her is actually a positive sign: “It gives me confidence in our relationship knowing that he truly wants to be with me and he took this huge risk to make it happen.” Yes, sure. This absolutely may prove to be prescient. Or Arie and Lauren may have broken up by the time you read this. What do you think? Cast your vote below and let us know: HOW LONG WILL LAUREN AND ARIE LAST AS A COUPLE? 1 months 3 months 6 months 1 year FOREVER! View Poll »

The Bachelor Alums Blast Arie, ABC for Cruel Becca Break-Up

By now, you must have heard: On the season finale of The Bachelor,  Arie Luyendyk Jr. got down on one knee and proposed to Becca Kurfin. He then realized that he still had feelings for runner-up Lauren Burnham… so he invited Becca over to his house and shattered her heart into a million tiny pieces – in front of ABC cameras, no less! And while Kurfin claims she's forgiven Arie for his actions, past mainstays from this beloved franchise can't believe Arie would do her like that on national television. Scroll down for a look at the reactions of some very familiar names. Do you agree with their assessment? 1. Oh, Arie The 22nd Bachelor in show history admits he made a huge “mistake” in the way he handled the Becca break-up, but that doesn’t change the fact that it happened. He ended their engagement in front of millions of viewers! 2. She Can Relate Melissa Rycroft was watching the finale when it happened. If you recall, she was dumped on the After the Rose special by Jason Mesnick, who then asked out runner-up Molly Malaney. 3. And Speaking of Molly… Yup, she was watching as well. And she wasn’t a fan of how this was handled. 4. And Then Speaking of Jason… Wait, what? Maybe he didn’t want it filmed deep down inside, but he obviously agreed to it and, you know, did actually break up with Becca on camera. 5. They Also Did It for Ratings But we agree. No way Becca isn’t announced as The Bachelorette, right?!? 6. Spoken from Experience Lowe is the only Bachelor in history to actually marry the woman he proposed to on the show. This is a man who knows the love business. View Slideshow

Arie Luyendyk Jr.: Dragged by Bachelor Alumni Over Failed Relationship!

Be warned, folks — there are some The Bachelor Spoilers in this post. Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s explosive choice — and then his jaw-dropping and frankly horrifying decision a few weeks after the finale was filmed — have been aired. Now Bachelor alums Jordan Rodgers and Sean Lowe, each living happily ever after with the women they fell in love with on television, are weighing in. And throwing shade. The Bachelor ‘s finale was a wild ride last night, with viewers pulled along a roller coaster of emotions. Probably the most commonly expressed reactions on Twitter were shock, horror, and disgust. All directed at Arie Luyendyk Jr. Some directed at ABC. But former stars who found love on camera and kept their relationships intact are speaking out. During the broadcast, Jordan Rodgers tweeted: “WOW!!! The drama is UNBEARABLE!! … San Antonio’s is only up 1 over Memphis with 9 min to go in the 3rd Quarter.” As fake-outs go, that one is fine. Rodgers later commented on how he found love with JoJo Fletcher and won Season 12 of The Bachelorette . “I mean….some llamas and a cool breeze would’ve been nice, but 120 degrees and some smelly armpits was our story. Wouldn’t change a thing! (Except some stronger antiperspirant) #babe” JoJo faced a tough choice, but she chose Jordan and it looks like things have worked out just fine for them. They may not be married yet, but they’re happily cohabitating in Texas. Any Bachelor finale is a time to reflect on how he found love on television, but he has to be thanking his lucky stars that he and JoJo haven’t ended things at all — and especially that they haven’t ended things like Arie did with Becca Kufrin. Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici are a shining example that yes, you really can find lasting love on camera. These two have been married for three years and have a young son together. Sean took to Instagram to reflect on the season … and to promote ethically sourced diamonds. “Well, Arie’s crazy season has come to an end (kinda) and the finale of course reminded me of my time on The Bachelor when I proposed to Catherine in Thailand.” And they’ve been together ever since. “That moment on bended knee, placing the diamond ring on her finger was one of the very best moments of my life.” Here comes the plug that had him tagging his own post with “#ad.” “Catherine would have married me regardless of what kind of ring I gave her, but knowing she has an ethically sourced real diamond that she can pass down to our future daughter is pretty special.” Honestly, you can’t blame the guy for seizing the opportunity to make a little Instagram cash. Catherine got in on the action, too. She wrote: “They said our love wasn’t real. They said we couldn’t make it, and over 4 years (and almost 2 babies!) later, here we are.” Her post was also an “#ad” … and a Throwback Tuesday. “Throwing this Tuesday back to that magical moment, and this beautiful ethically-sourced diamond engagement ring.” Arie picked Becca Kufrin. The season and contest and love story were supposed to be over. Instead, after a few weeks, Becca endured the worst Bachelor heartbreak when Arie changed his mind. Arie called ABC and had their cameras come witness him as he ended his relationship with Becca and went running back to the runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Amazingly, Lauren — who was noted for being fairly quiet all season — took him back. Becca, in the mean time, was left devastated. It almost defies belief, but it appears that Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham are still together . That said, some wonder if Arie will have yet another change of heart in a few weeks or if Lauren was the one he should have chosen at the finale. However, some wonder if Arie is any more committed to Lauren than he was to Becca. Bekah Martinez, one of the Bachelor Nation’s favorite contestants this year and notably the youngest, exposed Arie’s DMs to the world. Was he just reaching out to his ex … or was he fishing to see if she was still interested? If so, how many other women has he messaged?

Duggars SLAMMED For Lavish Displays of Wealth: They Own HOW MANY Planes?!

The Duggars built their media empire by shilling wholesome values and the joys of simple living to an audience that ate it up like so many pickles and Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. But throughout the family’s decade in the spotlight, even diehard fans have wondered if the Duggars are living double lives – preaching the virtues of frugality and humility, while at the same time enjoying lives of incredible fame and fortune. Over the years, fans have taken issue with Jim Bob’s “high-class hoarding,” and other ostentatious displays of wealth. The Duggar patriarch has been accused of buying up large tracts of land with no plans to make use of them, simply so that he might appear even more powerful in the eyes of local politicians. Not exactly in keeping with the WWJD philosophy, but believe it or not, Jim Bob’s desire for increased clout and high-end antiques isn’t even the most galling example of the family’s mixed messaging regarding personal wealth. No, that honor belongs to the Duggars’ astonishingly large fleet of private aircraft. You may have known that the Duggars own a private jet , but were you aware that they own several other small planes, as well? The first and most famous Duggar aircraft is the one belonging to John David, who was the first in the family to get his pilot’s license. The plane, a Cirrus SR22 was purchased as a gift for the Duggar’s second-oldest son back in 2014. At the time, it would’ve retailed for about $764,900, but as In Touch Weekly points out the Duggars probably bought it used . Which means it probably only ran them about $200,000. Since then the number of pilots in the Duggar clan has grown rapidly, with Josiah earning his license and Joy marrying Austin Forsyth who counts piloting among his many professions. So perhaps it’s not surprising that Jim Bob has decided to expand the family fleet in a major way. Just last year, the Duggars purchased four planes from the ALERT Academy, bringing their total number of aircraft to a whopping eight. The folks at In Touch did the math, and assuming that the Duggars paid an average $547,000 per plane (only some of the purchases were second hand) that brings the total value of their fleet to $3,200,000. Yes, the family that made a name for itself preaching modesty has spent over 3 mill on private planes in the past four years. So what exactly is the family doing with all those big birds? Well, Jim Bob recently incorporated Duggar Aviation LLC, and the company is headquartered out of nearby Springdale, Arkansas. At this point, however, it doesn’t seem that the family is offering up commercial flights. They may have plans to do so in the future, but many fans are suspicious that Duggar Aviation is nothing more than a shell corporation that allows Jim Bob to write off his plane collection as a business expense. All in a day’s work for America’s favorite Christ-lovin’ capitalists. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

The Bachelorette 2018: Meet the Contenders!

Who… will… it…be?!? This is the question on the minds of all ABC viewers at the moment, as we near the end of Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s Bachelor season, which means we're about to embark on a new Bachelorette season. Will the star of the latter in 2018 be a woman we've met previously on this network? A woman Arie scorned? A fresh face entirely? Scroll down to meet the contenders and then let us know who YOU want to see as The Bachelorette… 1. All About Arie… Sort Of As previously reported, Arie proposes on The Bachelor finale… only to then dump his fiancee for his runner-up. How scandalous! 2. SPOILER ALERT!!!!! Based on The Bachelor spoilers we’ve gathered, Arie will hand his final rose to Becca Kufrin. But will he end up with her? 3. In a Word? No, Arie will dump Becca after just a few weeks, making her our top contender to be The Bachelorette. Makes for a pretty endearing backstory, right? 4. What About Lauren Burnham? She’ll finish second on the finale, according to various reports, but will actually win Arie’s heart in the end… in controversial, possibly cheating fashion. So we can remove her name from The Bachelorette list. 5. Aren’t There Other Possibilities? Absolutely. Tia Booth, for example, finished fourth on Arie’s season, but won over many viewers in the process. 6. And Kendall Long? She was sent packing after a night in the Fantasy Suite with Arie, although she almost giggled when he dumped her. Perhaps because she knew something better was on the way? View Slideshow

Kailyn Lowry: Why Does She Get So Much Hate?

Fact: Kailyn Lowry, at this point in time, is probably the most controversial Teen Mom cast member of them all. It may sound a little strange when you consider some of the other scandals this amazing reality show has brought us – for instance, Kailyn has never been filmed while high on heroin. But it’s true. If there’s any doubt, all you have to do is glance at her social media accounts … you’ll see what we mean real fast. For example, last week, the Teen Mom 2 star tweeted that she was tired – understandable with a newborn! – but she wanted to try to stay awake so she could watch the latest episode of The Sinner, a new TV show. Someone actually commented: “You’re staying up for yourself …?” That’s the kind of reaching people are doing just to hate on her, and most of the comments she gets aren’t as innocent as that. She’s dealt with people making racist remarks about her children, she constantly gets criticized for her looks. (Which is silly because, let’s be real, she’s always been pretty.) Then, when we learned that she’d suffered a miscarriage while married to Javi Marroquin, her ex-husband and the father of her second child. That event would have been painful enough, even if he hadn’t blamed her for it, some particularly ruthless Teen Mom viewers felt the need to start vicious rumors about that, too. It’s got to be awful for her. Like, yeah, she did sign up for a reality show knowing full well that her private life would be filmed, edited, and presented as entertainment for the masses. But the things people say about her go beyond fair criticism — far, far beyond. … Why though? If you actually look at her story, Kailyn has been through so much, and to come out of everything as well as she has is pretty amazing. Her father abandoned her. Her mother was an alcoholic. She’s been open about the fact that she had to look out for herself from an extremely young age, because no one else was looking out for her. When she got pregnant as a teenager, she was forced to move into the home of Jo Rivera (her ex-boyfriend and the father of her first child) and his parents. Judging by early seasons of Teen Mom 2, this wasn’t exactly a picnic. After she broke up with Jo, she moved into an apartment with her son Isaac, working hard to support herself and that darling little boy. In fact, there’s a good chance she’s worked more than any of the other Teen Moms, from those early years to the present day. She continued working until the MTV money picked up and she was able to devote more of her time to her children and her education. Speaking of, how many ladies from the show have their Bachelor’s degrees? One. And her name is Kailyn. Of course she’s had her controversial moments, some of which she’s brought upon herself, but others which were undoubtedly blown out of proportion because cameras were rolling. In any case, it goes along with the whole reality show gig, and she’s always been quick to admit her faults. But to come after her kids, to ignore her accomplishments, or to blame her for things that are completely out of her control? It really just does not make sense.

Farrah Abraham Responds to Vaginal Rejuvenation Backlash!

You know how Farrah Abraham is shamelessly plugging vaginal rejuvenation on Instagram? In addition to questions over why the 26-year-old would possibly need the procedure (leading some to wonder if she might be having incontinence issues), the fact that Farrah was posting about it at all stirred up controversy. Well, now Farrah’s responded to the backlash, so … brace yourselves. Okay, so as we mentioned, Farrah posted a little video of herself consulting with a conspicuously made up doctor who talked to her about the procedure. The procedure involves moving a wand of sorts in and out of Farrah’s vagina for several minutes. This isn’t the first time that Farrah Abraham’s gotten her vagina rejuvenated , folks. “What this does is distributes little wounds through radio frequency which kind of breaks up the collagen and forces it to restore during that healing process, so everything becomes tighter and you actually experience …” And then Farrah Abraham, to our cringing horror, says “Like I’m 16 again!” (Let’s not hold up 16-year-old girls as some sort of sexual ideal, because that is incredibly gross, folks) Folks on the interwebs did not hold back their thoughts about Farrah, either, even criticizing her in the context of being a mother. Though the procedure described was not surgical, one follower thought that it set a bad example for Farrah’s 8-year-old. “My god … poor little Sophia. A mother who ‘loves’ her body so much she altered every bit of it. Great example. I hope Sophia will grow into a strong and independent woman who does not need her ‘mother’ to be around.” Again, this is not the same as a boob job or a nose job, though there  are  surgical forms of vaginal rejuvenation. “Farrah why? I understand you’re a mom and need the procedure for personal reasons but why make it public? Have respect as a mother for your child and for others.” As we mentioned, though vaginas almost always revert to their previous size after childbirth, the treatment that Farrah received could be used to attempt to treat postpartum incontinence. Another was perplexed why a woman Farrah’s age would need any sort of “rejuvenation.” “Aren’t you like 25? Why do you need this?” Farrah is 26, but that is “like 25” and the question remains reasonable. But Farrah spoke out against the controversy that she herself created with her posts. “My lady parts are happy.” How nice for them? “I don’t know. I just like to share things, especially if it’s good and health related and I don’t know. Today though it’s just about fashion, Sophia and I’m just proud of this little baby boss.” Before she deflects to her daughter (yeah, we saw that), Farrah explains what looks like a clear advertisement as part of her fondness for sharing things. One, it was probably an ad. Two, it seems like she loves negative attention. “I think it’s just best to ignore negativity and only welcome positivity in your life and I think that shows for Sophia and hopefully myself over the years and I’m just really happy about that.” That sounds like a positive message. If you’re thinking that Farrah sounds like a great mom, though, remember that she admitted to forgetting Sophia in a store . Which is difficult to imagine. “I would say I do that by complimenting her and making sure she feels secure — whether it’s with her eyebrows or whatever it may be.” Didn’t Farrah pluck and wax her daughter’s unibrow when Sophia was still preschool aged? If Sophia has insecurities about her eyebrows, we think that we can identify their source. Now, there’s a lot to criticize about Farrah that’s totally fair game. But, though nobody wants to hear about it, she can alter her flesh prison as much as she likes. If we want to have choice words about Farrah Abraham, we can talk about how obnoxious she can be. Or about how she sets feminism back by another year every time that she tries to mask her Lena Dunham-like quest for negative attention by wrapping it in the flag of female empowerment. Or, better yet, you can raise hell about Farrah Abraham’s disgusting and racist antics on reality television. What she does with her vagina, though, is pretty much up to her.

Justin Bieber: Stolen Nude Photos Appear on Selena Gomez’s Instagram Page

Every time a new round of explicit photos stolen from a celebrity’s private collection goes public, there’s a renewed outcry to tighten security and ramp up enforcement of existing laws. Unfortunately, most of the time, the perpetrators go unpunished, and it’s typically not long before a new round of celebrity nudes goes public. The latest victim is Justin Bieber, and in a bizarre twist, the singer’s  ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez was also victimized by the hackers. According to TMZ, several nude photos of Bieber appeared on Gomez’s Instagram page Monday afternoon. The site reports that the hackers captioned the photo with lewd comments about Bieber and boasts about their hacking abilities. “LOOK AT THIS N-GGA LIL SHRIMPY,” they wrote, before encouraging users to follow three Instagram accounts, each of which only has a handful of posts, but several thousand followers. “We run da scene,” they concluded. The hackers Instagram accounts have been suspended, and their handles are being kept from public view pending an investigation.  Gomez quickly deactivated her account after the hack. She is now back on Instagram, and has not yet publicly commented on the incident. Bieber has also not yet commented on the situation, and it’s possible that both singers will simply refuse to acknowledge the hackers, as they seem to be seeking notoriety. This is not the first time that Bieber has been hacked , and sadly, it looks as though it may not be the last. There are those who have argued that like obnoxious paparazzi and over-zealous fans, a lack of digital privacy is just a reality of life as a celebrity in the 21st century. The problem with that argument, of course, is that sharing someone’s nude photos without their consent constitutes a sex crime, and a world where famous people are forced to accept being victimized by sexual predators, is surely one that none of us wants to live in. We don’t pretend to have the answer to the growing problem, but we’re certain that a complacent shrug is not the solution. This time, the photos were removed quickly, but both Justin and Selena have no doubt been left with lingering feelings of vulnerability. Past victims of photo hacking have described feelings of anxiety so intense they were unable to leave their homes. Both celebrities and non-famous folks who have been victims of hacks are acutely aware of a reality that most of us do are best to ignore at 2017: Each of us is more exposed than ever before, and few among of us have any real sense of what it takes to keep out personal data safe. Today it’s Justin Bieber, but tomorrow it could be anyone. View Slideshow: Justin Bieber Fans Offer #PrayersForBieber in Wake of Tour Cancelation
