Kate Middleton Gives Us Royal Wedding Flashbacks

It isn’t just that Kate Middleton looks stunningly royal in this white outfit for the Royal Ascot. Though of course she does. But her outfit seems perfectly tailored (literally) to be a callback to her wedding dress. Her white lace ensemble isn’t identical to her wedding dress, but come on . The similarities can’t be accidental. She and William had one of the most famous weddings on the whole planet. Ever. So no, we don’t imagine that a tailor was just sitting around trying out different designs and produced this by accident. Or even unconsciously. Whatever the motivation behind it, though, it’s a gorgeous design. White can be a bold choice in the spring, but it tends to contrast better with rich greens and floral colors and helps you to stand out. Not that Kate Middleton could ever just fade into the background. There is one major difference that sets this apart from her wedding dress, and we don’t mean the lack of a veil. She’s wearing a nametag. Obviously, she wasn’t wearing anything of the sort on her wedding day. That would have been silly — she was the bride! Though … she’s still the Duchess of Cambridge … she’s married to Prince William. She’s Kate Middleton . Surely a name tag is just as ridiculous now as it was then. Who on the planet, let alone who there at the Royal Ascot, is going to fail to notice? But, if you think about it, maybe Kate was wearing one so that others wouldn’t feel discouraged about wearing theirs. If Kate Middleton’s wearing a name tag, no one in the world should feel silly wearing one to the same event, you know? And that seems in keeping with her character. Though let’s not rule out that maybe she just thought that it would be hilarious if she wore a name tag. Wearing white has traditionally been a bold statement. And no, it has nothing to do with virginity — that association came in later. No; wearing white was historically a status symbol. Basically, it meant that you could have your clothing cleaned whenever. Think back to times when clothes getting washed meant that they were scrubbed by the river. Yeah — it’s hard to picture them getting as white as they first were, ever again. Royal colors came from expensive dyes — that’s a different thing. How white came to be part of wedding dresses is its own long story. But Kate’s wedding dress is one of the world’s most famous. And her Royal Ascot outfit is letting us relive that signature look. The monarchy’s continued existence is controversial at best. But wearing white is no longer indicative of wealth — or poverty. Or anything silly like virginity — there aren’t many virgin brides around. We just think that it looks nice on Kate. But then, doesn’t everything? She’s come a long way since the days when she was known as Squeak . View Slideshow: 15 Things You May Have Missed From Prince William & Kate Middleton’s Royal Wedding

Chelsea Houska: Throwing Shade at Adam Lind on Instagram?!

Earlier today, we reported that Adam Lind recently tested potitive for methamphetamines , a development that could cost him future custody and visitation rights. While we doubt that either of his baby mamas are very pleased by the idea that their child had been spending time with a hard drug user, Chelsea Houska might be inclined to see a silver lining in the dark cloud of Lind’s substance abuse. Despite some stiff competition, Lind reigns supreme as the worst baby daddy in the Teen Mom franchise . He’s been a thorn in the side of both Houska and Taylor Halbur ever since they made their respective decisions to get romantically involved with him despite the douche vibes he gives off at all times. Now, the fact that he’s been caught using could offer both moms the chance to remove Lind from their lives entirely, or at least ensure their daughters’ safety by securing supervised visitations. Whatever winds up happening, Houska is beyond the point of pretending she has any respect or lingering affection for Lind. And now she’s taken to broadcasting her distaste for her baby daddy on social media. Houska married Cole DeBoer  back in October, and though he’s not Aubree’s biological dad, the entire family has made it quite clear that they consider Cole to be Aubree’s “real” father. Chelsea and Cole both reinforced that message with separate Instagram posts on Father’s Day. In the photo above, Cole posed with both Aubree and his son, Watson Cole De Boer. The timing of the post is shady enough, but it’s Chelsea’s caption that really drives the message home: “I hope Aubree finds a man like you…and I hope our son turns out to be JUST like you.” Cole posted a Father’s Day photo of his own, and a caption that we’re guessing Lind wasn’t thrilled with. Along with the above photo of his homemade presents, DeBoer wrote: “I am a spoiled daddy. What an amazing Father’s Day surprise with these beautifully crafted gifts from my outstanding wife @chelseahouska and my beautiful kiddos #Aubree/Watson I am very blessed and very happy.” It can be a dangerous thing to refer to a meth user’s child as your own. But clearly DeBoer is unconcerned. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to remind yourself of just how big a D-bag Lind truly is.

19 Most Ridiculous Celebrity Books in Human History

The following books are real. They exist. They were actually written by people who thought they were good ideas. And these people were celebrities! Which is what makes this collection all the more ridiculous and noteworthy. Scroll down for a look at books that various stars thought were good ideas to write at the time, but which have simply given us many reasons to laugh hilariously at them instead… 1. Farrah Abraham As if making a celebrity sex tape was not bad enough, Farrah thought it would be a good idea to write a book about the making of it. Um, no. Farrah, please get a real job. 2. Kim Kardashian If you can’t write, you could follow Kim Kardashian’s tactic and just release a selfie book. The porn-star-turned-entrepreneur got a lot of people talking about the book, but it made money. 3. Naomi Campbell Campbell sent her ideas for the book to a ghostwriter, and we are very sure the ghostwriter burst out laughing when he/she heard them. Five models fight it out for the contract of retiring supermodel Swan. What the heck? 4. Charlie Sheen Charlie Sheen is one of those celebrities who is just all over the place. He was fired from Two and a Half Men for his erratic behavior … even though he was making a lot of money. Before that, Charlie released a poetry book that got some positive comments from John Stamos. 5. Lauren Conrad Lauren Conrad is a reality TV star and fashion guru. She decided to make the step to writing fiction with a book loosely based on her life. Despite giving it her all, it was a trainwreck. 6. Macaulay Culkin Macaulay decided to try and make his way back into the spotlight with a book. The book included random drawings, thoughts and a whole lot of gibberish. View Slideshow

Amber Portwood: Matt Baier is Just Using Me for Money!

Things have been bad between Amber Portwood and Matt Baier for a very, very long time. Such a long time that we have to wonder if their relationship has ever been the least bit healthy. Turns out that throwing yourself like wet spaghetti at each and every Teen Mom star until you finally stick isn’t the best way to start a happy, stable union — who knew?! But while Mamber has always been a nightmare, things have really been falling apart recently. Last month, Matt took a lie detector test that determined he’d been cheating on her , and she kicked him out of their house. He managed to weasel his way back into her life, then an episode of Teen Mom OG aired in which he called her “psycho” and stated multiple times that he’d never marry her . Again, he managed to weasel his way back in, and this time, he tried to convince her to do a sex tape with him . Last week we heard that Amber really had broken up with him , but “she has a hard time saying no” because “she knows he has nowhere to go if she kicks him out.” But after the stunt Matt pulled this week, it seems like there’s a good chance she’s totally over him. Last night, Matt and Amber were scheduled to appear at a Barnes & Noble in Indiana for a book signing, but they never showed. According to an event post on the Barnes & Noble website and social media posts from Matt, he was going to sign copies of his tell-all while Amber was going to meet fans and sign copies of her 2014 book, Never Too Late. A fan in attendance told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup that ten minutes after the event was scheduled to begin, a store employee announced that Matt and Amber were on their way. Then, 15 minutes later, it was announced that Matt had canceled. Another 15 minutes later, Amber canceled, too. According to the fan, an employee claimed that “Amber was crying and that she was confused and there was a conflict with filming, which makes no sense since they both knew about it and advertised it along with Barnes & Noble.” Sounds like a mess, right? But it’s a mess Amber is refusing to take responsibility for. “This had nothing to do with me in any way!!!” she tweeted about the situation. “I was going to support him. This is sad.” “My name should not even be in the article!” she wrote, referring to The Ashley’s report. “It wasn’t my book signing!” She insisted that Matt was the one who canceled the event, and that she’s “pissed off” that she’s “getting backlash for someone else’s stupidity!!!” “It was his book signing,” she repeated. “Don’t use my f-cking name to make money and don’t do that to my fans!!!!” When one of her followers pointed out that it was advertised that she’d be at the signing, Amber tweeted “Are you serious you dumb bitch??” “I hate people..stop following me idc if you believe me or not. IDC lol.” She also wrote that she’s “so hurt about the situation I cried earlier which is why it hurts me to be called a liar. I would NEVER do that to my fans!” It’s a little confusing, because it doesn’t seem to be an issue of Amber lying — it was clearly advertised that she would be there, and she wasn’t. Later, she clarified that she said that because she’s not the one who lied — Matt did. “It was for him and he said it was cancelled,” she tweeted. “I came home from NY the day before. I will not be blamed for this!!” “I would never ever just not show up to see my fans,” she continued. “I’m very hurt that I was told it was cancelled and that was a lie.” “I will make it up to everyone for free! Free books or a meet anything! I would never do that on purpose!! Please know that!” As for Matt, he skipped the signing because, according to a source who spoke to Radar, he’s “in Massachusetts visiting family.” “Matt has been jealous of Amber for going to the Teen Mom reunion in New York without him. They have been fighting.” Judging by how many times she called him “stupid” on Twitter, we’d say that’s accurate. So can they break up already or what?

Patti Wilkinson to Kendra: Ava London Gave Hank Hand Relief & I’m Gonna Tell the World!

Just when Kendra Wilkinson thought that her husband’s cheating scandal was finally behind them, her own mother is stirring the pot.  Hardcore. Nothing soft about this. Threatening to blow the lid off his affair in a bombshell tell-all, Patti Wilkinson is out to set the record straight … for reasons unknown. In the upcoming season of Kendra On Top, which is apparently still a show that is on the air, the mother-daughter feud begins anew. The older Wilkinson rips the wound open again, as seen in the trailer above, by declaring that she is GOING TO EXPOSE her daughter. K-Dubs is not happy. “You would have to write about Hank and the scandal and me,” Kendra screams. “You can have your family back or you can write this book!” Patti is undeterred by this threat, defiantly telling the reality star that, “First of all, I don’t give a s–t what [Hank] thinks! The truth hurts!” “The truth hurts!” Those familiar with Kendra and Patti Wilkinson know that they’ve had a strained relationship through the years, to say the very least But this? Again, it’s unclear why Patti is hung up on Hank Baskett, Ava London and whatever happened between them, but it looks ugly. Ugly. The celebrity couple survived a brief separation, and three years later, remain together as a family … at least until Patti has her say. This is not the kind of scandal that you move on from easily, assuming what’s reported by celebrity gossip outlets is even half accurate. On Kendra On Top and Marriage Boot Camp, this played out in epic fashion in 2014-15, and Hank could barely hold himself together. There was a memorable (televised, obviously) exchange in which a scorned Kendra asked him once and for all to cop to this infidelity. In graphic, cringe-worthy detail. Did her spouse really receive a hand job from Ava London, a transgender model he discovered and became infatuated with on YouTube? Did Hank try to pay her off afterward, making ATM withdrawals and dropping off cash (which obviously wasn’t enough to make her zip it)? Or, was he looking to smoke some weed with a friend, only to end up being briefly  fondled over his shorts by London  against his will? In an excruciating scene, Kendra made him describe whether or not London’s hand made his way over or  under  his shorts at that moment. Baskett’s non-committal answers made the whole thing even weirder, while  Ava London claimed , in no uncertain terms, that she got him off. And vice versa. Talking mutual orgasms here. London has made this affair sound  very  much like … well, an affair in which bodily fluids were excreted after energetic manual stimulation. Hank has tried to dance around this with varying degrees of effectiveness, clearly feeling guilty about … whatever the hell he achieved. Bottom line: Hank and Ava had some sort of interaction, because if he didn’t know her or never touched her, he would just state this. He never stated this. Nevertheless, whatever he told Kendra on camera and behind closed doors, she found it in her heart (or self interest) to forgive him. She Tweeted that she loves Baskett, she forgives Baskett and that critics should f–k with her and her definition of love at their peril. Deep stuff right there. We’ll see if Patti’s forthcoming memoir threatens that marital tranquility once more, as she seems determined to get her hands dirty (sorry).

Kris Jenner to Caitlyn Jenner: QUIT LYING!

You know the drill by now: Caitlyn Jenner released her memoir , The Secrets of My Life, she talked a lot of trash about her whole family, and nobody is into it. We've seen the whole sad thing play out for a while now, on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and in various interviews. Kris Jenner is especially upset with Caitlyn , because by many counts, she's the biggest villain in the book. Caitlyn wrote that Kris knew that she was transgender from the beginning but that she forced her to stay in the closet, and that she wouldn't let her spend her own money. Kim, Khloe and Kourtney have all spoken out in support of their mother, and so has Kendall Jenner . Each and every one of them has said the same thing: that Caitlyn isn't being truthful. And in this new sneak peek for tonight's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kris is not holding back about her feelings. In the clip, Kris and Kim are talking about the book — Kim seems to be the only one in the family who's read the entire thing. As Kim tells Kris, “She has her thoughts and you have your thoughts, and that's fine. But I do feel like there's a way to tell your side of the story without being so negative.” “Like everything is always your fault,” she says to Kris, who agrees. Kim brings up Caitlyn's claims that Kris took all her checks, and that seems to be one topic that really fires her up. As Kris explains, Caitlyn “never paid a bill from 1972” until, presumably, they divorced and she became single. She says that, in the book, Caitlyn writes that all of her Keeping Up with the Kardashians paychecks “went to Kris.” “'Went to Kris?'” she begins. “How about 'it went to the mortgage and the insurance and education'?” Kris also says that when she began dating Caitlyn, she asked how her last marriage ended, and Caitlyn “weaves this elaborate story.” “Cait could have told me the story that she writes about in her book, which is 'gee, Linda got so angry and nasty that Cait had to tell her about her gender dysphoria.'” “Why wouldn't you have just told me what happened with Linda so at least I could make my own decision if I wanted to get married to someone who really wanted to be a woman?” she asks. Meanwhile, Kim is not in the mood to beat around anymore bushes, and says that Caitlyn “just literally started three families with three different people and f-cked everyone over.” Kris adds that Caitlyn can't handle that, so she made her the scapegoat . Watch all the drama unfold in the video below:

Javi Marroquin: Kailyn Lowry & I Are on Good Terms Now … But My Book’s Still Happening!

Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin are on better terms lately, but that’s not stopping her ex from pushing forward with his tell-all book. Which, in turn, could threaten to derail the tenuous non-aggression pact between the former Teen Mom 2 spouses. The irony. The father of Kailyn’s second son Lincoln says they’re playing nice these days, but his side of the story when it comes to their breakup? Well, it’s not always nice, and he’s telling it like it is. “I’ve been working on this book for a while,” Marroquin said of Heartlessly Hustled , an obvious play on Lowry’s own Hustle & Heart . “My story won’t change,” the 24-year-old reality star said, but he insists, “regardless of what’s in my book Kail knows it’s behind us.” That’s a fine line to walk. In Marroquin’s mind, it may be easy enough to compartmentalize past and present like that, but if Lowry reads something she dislikes? The smart thing to do if he’s really committed to co-parenting first would be to put this idea on the shelf (no pun intended) for awhile. By now, the sad and scandalous story is familiar to those who watch Teen Mom 2 online or read any sort of celebrity gossip at all: Lowry announced her divorce while he was on deployment in May 2016, after a six-month period that saw their marriage crumble. Because he was overseas with the U.S. Air Force, their passive-aggressive social media communication became a spectator sport. Then, only days after he returned home, he caught her with Chris Lopez , later revealed to be the father of Lowry’s third child. Their split quickly became more and more tumultuous. An already-strained relationship nearly reached a boiling point upon the reveal of Lowry’s third pregnancy, given their recent divorce. She and Marroquin divorced in part because she didn’t want any more kids; Javi obvious didn’t take the third-baby-daddy thing well. It reached a level in which Lowry filed a protection from abuse order after he showed up aggressively and sent her harassing texts.  Javi denied ever laying a hand on Kailyn, who never accused him of that either, but admitted she sought – and he agreed to – the order. Basically, he’s not allowed to contact her unless it’s regarding their son for a year. (Again, writing a tell-all book about her won’t help.) Since then, the two have mended fences somewhat. Kailyn has included Javi in family activities, both with their son and with Lowry’s older son Isaac, 7, from her relationship with Jo Rivera. Marroquin, who has accused Lowry of cheating on him, and who says he will not be raising Lowry’s third child , remains close to Isaac. As for what we can expect in Heartlessly Hustled? “Expect a story about a man who thought he figured out life. Lies and cheating were swept beneath his nose for a long time!” Javi says. Javi promises his memoir will “be the truth” of what Lowry – who he has implied wasn’t faithful – did to end their nearly four-year marriage. “The only reason I was coming out with that book was to make sure my story was out,” he said, following the release of Lowry’s memoir. In her book, she hit on his jealousy and control issues. “When he did things like demanding that I unlock my phone to prove I had nothing to hide,” she said, Javi made their marriage unbearable. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry & Javi Marroquin: A Timeline of Love, Marriage, Divorce, Destruction She said he began “calling me constantly when I was enjoying time with friends to make sure I wasn’t doing anything ‘sneaky’ behind his back.” “It became clearer and clearer how little my husband trusted me,” the reality star penned. “I had done nothing to make him doubt me.” “I never lied, never went behind his back and I was never unfaithful,” Lowry laments, strongly denying that she ever cheated on him. “For some reason, he was convinced otherwise.” No word yet on the release date for Javi’s book, but you can expect it will reopen some old wounds that haven’t entirely healed. You know, exactly the opposite of what he should probably be focusing on, and what he says his outlook on life is these days.  View Slideshow: Teen Mom: What Do the Dads Do for a Living?!

Life Of Kylie: Watch the First Promo For Kylie Jenner’s New Series!

We suppose it was inevitable. By some measures, Kylie Jenner has been the most popular member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan for over a year now. She has 94 million followers on Instagram and another 20 million each on Facebook and Twitter. (The “175 million followers” claim made by her people is a bit dubious, as there's undoubtedly a great deal of overlap across platforms.) She's launched a line of wildly successful makeup products almost entirely on the strength of her name. She's emerged from the tremendous shadow cast by Kim Kardashian to join her big sister as one of the most recognizable women on the planet. In retrospect, a Kylie Jenner spinoff series was bound to happen. And now, E! has launched a full-blown media assault to hype the show's July 6 premiere. The first trailer for Life of Kylie premiered today, and it's loaded with the sort of profound insights into the human condition and nature of fame that we've come to expect from the young woman who declared 2016 the year of ” realizing stuff .” “Nobody has a perfect life,” Kylie says in her best “profound voiceover” voice. “Now I can find what really is gonna make me happy.” We hate to say it, Kylizzle, but if unimaginable wealth, the adulation of tens of millions, and never having to do any real work don't have you well on your way to happiness, you might be out of luck. “There’s an image that I have to keep up with. Then there’s me: Kylie,” she concludes. Okay, so it's not The Wire , but it's sure to give Kylie fanatics exactly what they want – a whole lot of Kylie. Watch the first trailer for Life of Kylie below:

Caitlyn Jenner: The Kardashians are All Drama, I Regret Nothing!

Caitlyn Jenner is still out there promoting her new book, The Secrets of My Life — she’s doing interviews, she’s making statements, she’s getting intimate . And the Kardashians are still not cool with it. But although Caitlyn’s former family has made it clear that they don’t approve of all of her stories, she’s not about to stop anytime soon. In fact, she may have just given her shadiest interview yet! She spoke with Australia’s Today show, and she seemed to respond to the statement Kim Kardashian made during her appearance on Ellen — the one where she said that she doesn’t respect Caitlyn right now . “I love Kimberly,” Caitlyn began, “I think she’s a wonderful person. But, well, to be honest with you, I really haven’t talked to her in a long time.” For what it’s worth, Kim said it had been a couple of weeks since she’d spoken to her, so either someone is fibbing or Caitlyn doesn’t have a strong grasp on the concept of time. “I’ve kind of let everything calm down,” Caitlyn continued. “So I kind of stay, you know, I keep my distance.” “I’m out there trying to make a difference in the world.” Get it, because the Kardashians don’t make a difference? They just take selfies and manufacture drama and then take more selfies ? Yeah, you get it. Caitlyn said that while “There’s a lot of drama in the Kardashian family,” and no kidding, “This is my book about my opinions on things that happened with me and my family.” “Any time I express my opinion, you know, with my family, there’s always challenges in doing that.” She definitely has a point — she’s allowed to tell her story, and it’s obviously very important to her that she does — but she could still manage to show a little more tact when it comes to her stepchildren. She could perhaps even stand to be a little kinder to her wife of 23 years, Kris Jenner — but as we see in another interview Caitlyn did, this one with The Talk, she’s not interested in doing that, either. When asked if she regretted anything she wrote about Kris in her book, she said “I regret nothing, OK? I have no regrets. I got over regrets a long time ago. “I don’t want to hurt anybody, especially family members,” she went on, “but, um … if you saw the show over the last ten years, eleven years or whatever, my opinion was never really brought forward.” “It was everybody else’s opinion, I was with a lot of very strong women, which is fine, I love them all, but this book is about my story.” Caitlyn said that she was “so nice to Kris” in the book, but that obviously they have different interpretations of what happened in their marriage. “We’re not talking as much as we used to, but I’m sure that’ll change when everything calms down,” she added, and she said the same thing for the Kardashians. For everyone’s sake, we hope that’s the case. View Slideshow: Caitlyn Jenner: Read the 19 Most Stunning Quotes From Her Memoir
