Meghan Markle to Prince Harry: Your Family Is Smothering Us!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are happily married and expecting, and the Royal Family has never looked so happy . But Harry and Meghan aren’t entirely content and are itching to leave their current residence. Not only are their accommodations too small, but Harry wants to step out of his brother’s shadow. RadarOnline   reports that Harry and Meghan are eager to move. “Harry and Meghan want to move,” an insider reveals. They know that their family is growing, the source says, “and need more space.” We know that it’s tempting to claim that they’re being greedy or absurd by demanding more space. But as we describe their current residence — Nottingham Cottage, on the grounds of Kensington Palace — you’ll understand why. “But,” the insider says. “They don’t want to live next door to William and Catherine.” We so often tend to imagine the royal family living within a massive, spacious palace. But Nottingham cottage is just that. From the description, it sounds like a starter home. Harry and Meghan’s current residence has only two bedrooms for a household that’s about to have three people. (Sure, newlyweds may share a bed, and many married couples continue to share a bed, but they’ll want a guest room) The cottage also has two reception rooms — so, you know, normal rooms. That’s fine. RadarOnline describes the cottage as having one single bathroom. That’s barely enough for two people. They need to upgrade. Another impetus for their upcoming move is so that Harry and William can take a step apart. “They are planning a formal division of their joint royal household,” the source notes. “Which is based at Kensington Palace.” “And,” the insider continues, they are planning “the creation of separate courts to reflect their increasingly different responsibilities.” We’ve reported on this previously. The brothers have grown up and don’t want to step on each other’s toes. “The brothers have leant on each other and looked after each other since their mother died,” the source affirms. “But now they have their own families,” the insider explains. “They no longer rely on each other as before.” Now that William and Harry are adults, they don’t need to be literal neighbors. “They will soon have separate offices and separate lives,” the source explains. “So it would make sense for them to live further afield.” And Harry and Meghan’s options are broader than some might imagine. “There is no reason why Prince Harry and Meghan’s London home has to be at Kensington Palace,” the insider notes. “There are plenty of other options,” the source adds. “Including,” the insider says. “Using their own money to buy their own place.” Of course, some believe that it’s really Meghan and Kate who are tearing the princes apart . “Kate and Meghan live very different lives,” the source notes. Certainly. They’re both Duchesses, but they are of course different people. “And,” the insider continues. “That is likely to become more marked over time.” In other words, Meghan and Kate socialize differently, focus upon different charitable endeavors, and otherwise spend their time differently. There was a time when royal brides were permitted to do little save produce heirs. Good for them for living their own lives. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are hot topics. Unfortunately, some — like Meghan’s irredeemably vile sister, Samantha — seem eager to cash in on that by painting Meghan as a monster. Whether it’s rumors of Meghan feuding with Kate or allegations about Meghan’s diva behavior , people love to talk. We know that some may be tempted to believe that Meghan is forcing Harry to change his lifestyle. He’s a grown man and a prince. He’ll soon be a father. We imagine that these two are making decisions together, like any expecting parents might. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Just Announced She’s Having a Boy … Right??

Meghan Markle: Latest Wardrobe Malfunction Baffles Entire World

Before she married Prince Harry , Meghan Markle could do no wrong. Now that she’s been saddled with a royal title, however, it often seems that she can do nothing right. To be clear, nothing about Meghan’s behavior has changed. It’s just that now she’s expected to meet the standards of a bunch of stuffy, pearl-clutching royal traditionalists every time she leaves the house. As a result, headlines about Meghan breaching royal protocol are not uncommon these days. Of course, these breaches are generally quite tame, such as the time Meghan’s curtsy was not up to the standards of some Brits. Even the reports of Meghan’s “wardrobe malfunctions” are generally pretty lame. The Royals have really delivered in the accidental nudity department in the past, such as when topless photos of Kate Middleton made their way across social media. But with Meg the British tabloids get all fussy over stuff like this: This is like a game you might find on a child’s placemat at an especially perverse family restaurant: Find the Wardrobe Malfunction! Give up yet? Part of the problem is that you probably spent too much time focusing on the breastal region.  We’re not perv-shaming you; that’s just one of the most common areas for clothing snafus. This time, however, the glitch was much further south — and much, much less interesting. As you can see, Meghan has some splotches on her tights. That’s it. Seriously, there are people on social media trying to make a big deal out of it. Granted, it’s puzzling — how did those splotches get there?! But the answer is probably something disappointingly pedestrian, like someone spilled a cup of coffee or Meghan stepped in a puddle. There was a time when spilling your drink on a Duchess was enough to earn you a trip to the guillotine, but sadly, the Brits don’t behead people for clumsiness anymore. Snowflakes. Some folks have pointed out that Meghan didn’t wear pantyhose before she got married, which means the tights are likely a concession to the royal family’s penchant for ultra-conservative attire. But we doubt Meghan just went around spilling drinks on her feet in the pre-Harry era of her life. Maybe that’s one of the more underappreciated ways in which royal life is stifling — you can’t even walk around with wet feet! This has been another installment of Ridiculously Boring Wardrobe Malfunctions, starring Meghan Markle.  View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Baby Bump Watch: Is She Showing Yet?

Florida Man Cuts Off Penis of Ex-Girlfriend’s New Boyfriend

The continuing adventures of Florida Man have taken a grim turn. A vengeful ex-lover went to great lengths to find the new boyfriend of his ex-girlfriend. He hit the man over the head with a tire iron, carved his initials into the man’s leg, and then cut off the man’s penis . The Chicago Tribute reports that, on a judge’s orders, Florida man Justin Foster is being held on $1 million bond. Foster is a Tallahassee resident, but he made the trek to Atlanta before flying to Chicago. In Chicago, he rented a car and drove to Des Plaines. It was in Des Plaines that the alleged crime went down. Foster apparently approached the 26-year-old boyfriend of his former lover before the violence began. According to police, after Foster approached the victim, he struck him over the head with a tire iron. The victim was then rendered unconscious, but Foster was allegedly just getting started. He is said to have then carved initials — which initials are unclear, but many have assumed that they were his own — into the victim’s leg. Foster then allegedly cut off the man’s penis. Every single part of that is horrifying. According to detectives, Foster then tossed the penis over a fence. The victim was then dragged behind a parked car. It is there that Foster allegedly left the victim in a growing pool of his own blood. The victim was found by someone who was passing by. Emergency services were contacted and he was rushed to the emergency room. In the mean time, Foster boarded a flight back to Atlanta. Foster was arrested on August 27. He was extradited back to Illinois in September. He has been charged with attempted murder, which is appropriate since his assault could have easily claimed the victim’s life. There was more to it than the horrific mutilation. The victim received permanent brain damage from the tire iron blow to the head. Whacking someone over the head with a heavy object isn’t like what you see on television, folks. Hitting someone hard enough to knock them out means hitting someone hard enough to damage them or even to kill them. This is a truly gruesome case on every level. Based upon what we know, it appears that the sole motive was that the victim was dating Justin Foster’s ex-girlfriend. This goes above and beyond most of the horror stories about jealous exes that we’ve ever heard. It sounds like Justin Foster may be the worst incarnation of Florida Man. For now, anyway. … View Slideshow: Florida Man: 21 Ways in Which He Actually Got Arrested

Ariana Grande Returns to Twitter, Tells People to "Suck My D-ck"

Ariana Grande may have a broken heart at the moment. But the singer just made news for mentioning a very different body part. Last week, a few days after she ended her engagement to Pete Davidson, Grande told her social media followers that she was taking a break. The pop artist understandably need some time away from the public as she dealt with the dissolution of what had been a very fun and loving relationship. “Time to say bye bye again to the internet for just a lil bit,” the singer wrote on Instagram, adding at the time: “It’s hard not to bump news n stuff that I’m not trying to see rn. It’s very sad and we’re all tryin very hard to keep going. love u. and thank u for bein here always.” Fair enough, right? However, Grande appears to have taken all the time she needed to recover from this recent break-up. Following a one-week hiatus, Grande Tweeted a black heart emoji on Monday morning told her followers “i missed you sm.” She also told her haters to suck it… and then deleted the message minutes later. This is the Internet, however, and nothing ever gets deleted. In response to some losers picking on her forehead, Ariana wrote the following a little while ago: “i see some of y’all making fun of my forehead ! sorry i have a big forehead ! at least i’m cute and don’t make fun of other ppl’s foreheads ! suck my dick. ttyl” Well… okay then! You tell ’em, Ariana! For his part, Davidson broke his silence on the not-too-shocking split this past Saturday during a stand-up show in West Hollywood, where he joked that his decision to propose to the pop star was “stupid.” (We could have saved you some time and pain by telling you that this summer, dude.) “So, obviously you know I, we broke up or whatever but when me and her first got engaged we got tattoos. And it was like in a magazine like, ‘Was Pete Davidson stupid?’ And 93 percent of it said yes,” Davidson told his audience. He added on stage: “So my boy, he was like, ‘Don’t listen to that sh-t man. They’re literally f-cking haters.’ And I’m like, yeah, f-ck that. I’m not stupid. “And the other day we were in my kitchen and he was like, ‘Yo bro. Turns out you were stupid.'” Oh well. We’ve all been blinded at times by love or lust, right? Other sources, meanwhile, claims that Davidson is devastated by the break-up . “He misses Ariana every minute of every day, from the second he wakes up until the moment he goes to sleep,” someone supposedly told Hollywood Life, adding of Davidson: “Right now, Pete feels like he will never get over Ariana, that his heart will never mend, and that he will never fall in love again.” That makes us sad to hear. Davidson and Grande only dated for a few weeks before news broke of their engagement. They managed to stay together for a few months prior to their recent split , which took basically no one by surprise. Still, we’re sure the emotions are raw and we wish both Pete and Ariana the best.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry: Are They Hoping For a Boy or a Girl?

Male heirs are kind of a big deal in the history of the British crown. In fact, you could say past members of the royal family have been known to really lose their heads over the matter. But those days are long gone, and in the 21st century, beheadings are reserved for serious offenses such as wearing an ascot that clashes with the tablecloth at high tea. We kid the Royals because we love them. And we especially love Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who are infinitely more fun and interesting than their contemporaries within the Windsor clan. (Yes, we’re looking at you, Will and Kate!) As you’ve likely heard by now, Meghan is pregnant with her first child. And, as is always the case with palace pregnancies, British tabloids and amateur royal watchers alike are desperate for any scrap of new information that might come their way. Sources say Meghan just entered her second trimester, and the Royals tend to be quite secretive about matters such as this. So it might be quite some time before we learn anything new regarding the baby’s name or gender. But at least now we know whether Harry is hoping for a son or a daughter — and his answer says a lot about how things have changed in the royal family of the 21st century. Harry and Meghan are on their first royal tour at the moment, and they spent the weekend in Sydney, Australia. According to US Weekly , the couple was spotted strolling near the city’s famous opera house on Sunday. Witnesses say a passerby shouted to Harry, “I hope it’s a girl.” Harry reportedly paused for a moment before turning and replying,  “So do I.” So there you have it. The Duke of Sussex is hoping for a daughter. No word yet on whether Meghan is hoping for a girl or a boy, but insiders say she’s been so ecstatic lately it’s impossible to imagine her being disappointed with either outcome. As for the royal moniker, sources say Harry and Meghan “have a long list of names” to choose from. In the end, though, they’ll probably go with something boring like Anne or Thomas. They’re still royalty, after all. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Baby Bump Watch: Is She Showing Yet?

Tori Roloff is Not Pregnant. And She’s Sort of Offended You Thought Otherwise.

Tori Roloff would like your attention. The Little People, Big World star says she gets it. She understands why complete strangers keep wondering about the state of her fetus, analyzing every other photo and publicizing to the world that she’s pregnant. This just happened a couple days ago when photos of Roloff’s belly surfaced online . But here’s the thing, Tori now explains: She is NOT expecting her second child. And it’s sort of very offensive for anyone to claim otherwise. “No I’m not pregnant,” Tori wrote on Wednesday in response to this ongoing rumor, adding: “Yes I love baggy clothes and food. What if I was a women who couldn’t get pregnant? What if I was a women who had body image issues?” She makes a very salient point here. And she continues to make it as follows: “Asking a woman if she’s pregnant can be extremely damaging. Luckily I know when I get asked these questions it’s coming from a place of love. “I know our fans are eager to see our family grow-as are Zach and I and our families- and you guys just want to see us make more adorable babies like baby j. “However I hope you think twice about asking a woman “are you pregnant?” Or “when’s the next one coming?” It’s true. Imagine if someone were truly struggling to get pregnant. Imagine if someone was trying to lose weight. Now imagine how it would feel of this same person signed online and had to read through endless speculation about her figure. Tori has been dealing with just such chatter. For weeks now, Internet users have been assuming Roloff is pregnant just based on a photo here or there. “You don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors in anyone’s life,” Tori continues. “I say this because time and time again I’ve watched my own friends and family struggle with having a baby and I know how much it hurts every time this question is asked… “If I believed the magazine articles written about me I’ve been pregnant for the last year and a half.” Both Tori and Zach have acknowledged that they will expand their family someday. But son Jackson is only a year and a half old and there’s plenty of time. It’s also no one’s business but these two when the blessed development actually happens. Concludes Tori in her very reasonable post: If and when Zach and I are blessed with another little one we will share on our own time and in our own way. We love you guys and so appreciate your love and support. No one wants to see baby j be a big brother more than I do but let’s wait patiently together! Amen. Very well said, Tori.

Sofia Richie: I Wish Kourtney Kardashian Would Just Go Away!

Love triangles are always difficult, but the whole situation gets even more complicated when two of the participants are pushing 40, and the third isn’t even old enough to drink. That’s the lesson Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick are learning the hard way these days, as Sofia Richie is apparently causing major problems for their co-parenting relationship. The issue, it seems, is that Scott and Kourtney continue to spend time together, as people who have three kids together are wont to do. And apparently, that doesn’t sit well with Sofia. Reports that Sofia is jealous of Kourtney have been circulating for months, but it seems the model has recently become full-on obsessed with the possibility that the mother of three will attempt to win back her baby daddy. “Sofia is beginning to fight feelings of jealousy as Scott and Kourtney continue to spend more time together,” a source tells Hollywood Life. “Sofia did her best to be cool with Scott’s relationship with Kourtney for a while,” the insider adds. “She wanted to be the cool girlfriend, which was easier to do when Kourt had a boyfriend. “But now that Kourtney is single and dating again, Sofia struggles with the time Kourtney spends alone with Scott and the kids.” Also not helping matters is the latest round of rumors that Kourtney is looking to bang Scott for old times’ sake. “Scott is looking really good lately and it stings when Sofia wants to see her sexy man him but can’t because he is busy with Kourtney,” the insider dishes. “Sofia supports Scott being a great dad, she just wishes Kourtney wasn’t around him as often.” So she wants Scott to be a great dad who has no relationship with the mother of his children? Did we mention Sofia might be a bit young to cope with the complexities of her current romantic situation? The insider goes on to say that Sofia  “does not believe” Scott is over Kourtney “at all.” “She sees the way Kourtney still looks at Scott with love,” the source adds. “Sofia does not want to lose Scott back to Kourtney. It would break her heart.” Despite appearances to the contrary, we’re pretty sure Sofia can rest easy. It’s unclear if Kourtney is really dating Luka Sabbat , but it’s 100 percent clear that she can do much, much better than Scott.

Meghan Markle Says She Has a "Long List" of Baby Names and the Internet Can Barely Handle It

Meghan Markle has just given the universe another reason to get excited. Days after the Duchess of Sussex and her handsome husband confirmed the amazing news that they’re expecting a child , Markle touched on the follow-up topic that has taken over social media. What will she and Harry name their impending bundle of joy? Will he or she receive a typically British or Royal moniker? Might the little one be named after a character on Suits, the USA Network legal drama that propeled Markle to fame? Could she and Harry surprise followers and go way outside the box somehow? During a top in Melbourne, Australia – for the third day of activities on the couple’s royal tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga – Markle addressed this pressing issue. When a 12-year-old named Charlie Wolf asked the Duchess if she’d picked out a name for the couple’s baby-to-be, Meghan did not come right out and reveal her and Harry’s decision. But she did say it’s a constant topic of conversation. Both between herself and her husband… and basically everyone else in the free world. “We’ve been given a long list of names from everyone,” Markle replied. We’re going to sit down and have a look at them.” She further noted that it was still very early and they hadn’t settled on anything. That’s fair, we suppose. Sources have claimed that Markle is not due to give birth until early May . She’s about 15 weeks along and doing “well,” these same sources have told the press. At a different point during this visit, the Suits alum opened up about how she spends her free time “relaxing and watching TV shows.” But when pressed for a favorite series, the retired actress noted demurred, simply responding: “There’s heaps, I can’t think of a specific one.” She’ll have plenty of time in the near future to sort through them all, too, once she gets a little too tired to travel and just props her feet up, awaiting the whole motherhood thing. “Harry is elated and beside himself,” a an tells Us Weekly. “Meghan is feeling amazing. She’s in great health so far.” Kate Middleton and Prince William, meanwhile, are on record as sayign they are “delighted” about the pregnancy, while even Meghan’s evil half-sister sounds pretty psyched about it. “I want Meghan to be happy… and have peace. Everybody needs to be positive,” says typically-negative Samantha Markle , adding: “I hope my dad is included and at a proper time. If he is excluded, I won’t be happy. It is in the best interests of the baby for my dad to be included.” We continue to send our best wishes to Harry and Meghan. This is all SO exciting!

Meghan Markle Due Date: Mostly Revealed!

We have an update on Meghan Markle’s pregnancy. And it may just center on the exact piece of news for which you’ve been clamoring! Earlier today, the world was stopped in its tracks when Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry confirmed that they are expecting their first child . EVER! Social media users had been wondering for weeks whether Markle was pregnant, with most of them convinced this was the case just a day prior to the official announcement, considering the outfit Markle wore to a wedding on Saturday . They can now take pride in being correct for a change, following a Kensington Place statement that reads: Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019. The spring of 2019 is pretty vague, of course. The Palace did not reveal whether Markle is due in March… or April… or May… or June. However, an insider now tells Us Weekly that the former Suits actress is about 15 weeks along. Even more specifically, according to this source… “She is due on or around May 2nd.” This would be especially cool because Princess Charlotte, the adorable daughter of Kate Middleton and Prince William, was born on May 2, 2015. They could be birthday buddies!!!!! This may be just one reason why the Palace says Kate and William are “delighted” that Meghan is expecting . Harry and Meghan, who recently kicked off their their first international tour together in Australia, will be staying at Nottingham Cottage when they become a family of three. The cottage was recently renovated. It now includes two nurseries, sources close to the Royal Family have said. This could mean that Markle is pregnant with twins, but it more likely means that she and Harry won’t be finished procreating after their first bundle of joy arrives. If the child-to-be is born on May 2, this would make him or her a Taurus. It would also mean she’d share a birthday not just with Charlotte… but with Dwayne Johnson and David Beckham as well! How amazing would that be?!? Elsewhere, while we wait to see what hateful things Samantha Markle has to say about this blessed development, we can quote Prime Minister Theresa May, who has said the following: “My warmest congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the happy news they are expecting a baby in the Spring. Wishing them all the best.” We feel the very same way! View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

Meghan Markle: She Really is Pregnant!!!!!

Go ahed and celebrate, Internet. You finally got it right. Just a day after social media users took a look at Meghan Markle’s ensemble at Princess Eugenie’s wedding and presumed she was pregnant , the former actress and her very handsome husband confirmed the major news… … she really is pregnant! For reals! This is not a drill or another example of endless speculation. Another Royal Baby is on the way! Just ask Kensington Palace, which released the following statement on Monday morning: “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019. “Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public.” Happy? More like downright ecstatic and amazing! As noted directly above, Markle and Harry got married on May 19 . By about May 20, nearly anyone with a pulse was wondering when they would make this exact announcement. The stars have not been shy about their desire to procreate, with many observers keeping a close eye on Markle’s fashion choices and even hairstyle ( yes, hairstyle ) to determine whether she was expecting or not. So now the wild guesses can end. And the planning stage can begin. According to a People Magazine source, Markle is 12 weeks along. This means, knock on many pieces of wood, that the Duchess is past the point where most miscarriages occur, hence her comfort with alerting the world to her status. She recently underwent a scan and is “feeling well,” this same insider says. The news comes hours after Meghan and Harry touched down in Australia for their first international tour together, meaning the pregnancy is not getting in the way (yet) of Markle fulfilling her many Royal Duties. In the couple’s very first joint interview in November of 2017 Harry evealed that the two are keen to “start a family in the near future.” Hence the rumors and all the chatter that has been following them around since. Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, issued a statement via Kensington Palace shortly after the pregnancy was confirmed, saying to the world: “Ms. Ragland is very happy about this lovely news and she looks forward to welcoming her first grandchild.” Markle’s father, meanwhile, is also angry that he hasn’t seen an ultrasound photo yet; while Markle’s half-sister says the baby will be “hideous and disgusting, just like his or her mother.” Just kidding about those last two reactions. For real, however, Prince William and Kate Middleton are “delighted” for the couple — as are Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, the Palace says. As a final fact check: We do not Markle’s exact due date. Moreover, we do not know whether she has a little boy or girl growing inside of her. Based on the three times Middleton has been pregnant, however, we can expect to learn these pieces of information as time goes on. For now, let’s not worry about the details and let’s just celebrate the development itself. CONGRATULATIONS TO MEGHAN AND HARRY!!!!!
