It appears as if no one will be particularly happy on Keeping Up with the Kardashians this Sunday night. In clips previously posted on The Hollywood Gossip, Kim Kardashian freaked out after seeing that a paparazzo has snapped some unflattering photos of her and shared them online: We also shared a sneak peek of Kim breaking down in a puddle of tears because she feared for her safety while on vacation in Mexico. Here. Look at how that attack in Paris is still having an effect on the star in the following video: So this brings us to Kourtney Kardashian. Below, having just returned from this same trip down south with her sister, Kourtney stops by her mom's office and asks how ex-lover Scott Disick has been in her absence. “I think that he was jealous because you were having fun spending time with other people,” Kris replies, which really sets her daughter off. “Well that's really not fair,” Kourtney says. “It's just like I can't even live my life. I can't even go anywhere. He needs to get a f–king life and leave me alone. “All he does is try to make everybody else feel bad for him and try to make me look like the bad guy in this situation when clearly I'm not from 10 years of this going on.” “Wouldn't you be sad if he truly left you alone?” Kris asks in response. “You always want what you can't have. And when somebody's right there giving you their heart on a platter.” (NOTE: Is that really what Disick has been doing? The guy is dating Sofia Richie and has basically had a young harem for months now .) “He's not! He's not though!” Kourtney says, getting angry and adding: “That's what he makes it seem! To you, to Kim, to Khloe, to the world, to everybody! He sits there and grovels and feels bad for himself. So if that was his truth, why can't he get it together?” That's a valid question. Disick continues to get drunk all the time, party a lot and hook up left and right. “I have to handle it when he's out photographed with a different hooker every day,” Kourtney says emphatically in this sneak peek. It's hard to disagree with that assessment, even if there's no proof Disick has paid any of these women money for their services. WATCH THE EXPLOSIVE CLIP NOW:
In recent weeks, rumors of Prince Harry proposing to Meghan Markle have been all over social media and the tabloids. Across platforms, the consensus seems to be that the engagement is virtually a done deal. In fact some, believe that Harry and Meghan are already engaged and simply have yet to make a formal announcement. So what’s the holdup? Well, it’s important to remember that this is a royal engagement we’re talking about, and while it’s unlikely that Harry will ever take the throne, his marriage is still a matter of interest across the British empire. As a result, Meghan and Harry can’t just post a ring selfie on Facebook and call it a day. Several higher-ups need to sign off on the coupling before any sort of announcement can be made. And as candidates for royal marriage go, Meghan is a bit of a divisive one. To be clear, if there’s any hesitance from Harry’s family, it’s almost certainly not due to Meghan as a person. By all accounts she’s been well received by Harry’s father and brother, as well as by Kate Middleton and the Queen. (Sure, there are those rumors that Camilla Parker Bowles doesn’t like Meghan , but who the hell cares what she thinks, anyway?) There are three main issues that might give royal authorities pause when it comes to signing off on a marriage between Harry and Meghan. For starters, Meghan is American. For royal history buffs the situation might bring to mind that of Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII. Edward was forced to abdicate the throne in order to marry his American wife in 1936. In that case, however, the issue wasn’t so much that Simpson was American, as there are no clear rules against Royals getting hitched to foreigners. No, the reason Edward was forced to step down was the fact that Simpson was a divorcee … as is Meghan. Markle married Trevor Engelson in 2013, and the actor has already been a bit of a thorn in the royals’ side. Fans of Netflix’s The Crown are likely already familiar with the royal family’s policy on marrying divorcees: It’s strictly forbidden. The show portrays the romance between Princess Margaret, sister of Queen Elizabeth II, and Captain Peter Townsend, a pilot whom she was not allowed to marry because he had been divorced. Recent letters from the time reveal that the Queen would have allowed the marriage if Margaret were willing to give up her rights to succession of the throne. Of course, that was a different time and given a chance to make that decision again, the Queen would probably choose differently. And she’ll likely get a chance to do exactly that in the case of Harry and Meghan. The only other matter that stands in Meghan and Harry’s way–or that would have at one time, anyway–is the fact that Meghan is Catholic. Fortunately, the rule forbidding members of the royal family from marrying Catholics was lifted by the Queen in 2013. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 16 Things to Know About Prince Harry’s Love Many have pointed out that this could still be an issue if the couple has kids, as the children would have to be raised in the Anglican Church, but it doesn’t appear that Meghan is still a practicing Catholic, anyway. So there you have it. While there are certainly some complexities in play, Harry should be permitted to marry Meghan. We’re there are lots of guys out there who wish they had so many excuses to put off proposing, but we’re guessing Harry ain’t one of ’em!
The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families produced an animated video designed to show children how to talk about mental health issues. That's a wonderful resource for many children. Kate Middleton, who is a patron of the organization, provides the introduction, lending her voice and celebrity status to a worthy cause. We have the short video for you below, and it's really worth watching. We would expect nothing less from the Duchess of Cambridge. This isn't just because Kate Middleton is already a mother of two, with a third on the way . Though, obviously, this kind of topic is going to be near and dear to her heart as a mother. By marrying into the British Royal Family, Kate Middleton did more than just become an implied villain on Grimm . (Don't ask) She inherited a lot of responsibilities — one of which being that she'll very probably be queen in the not-so-distant future . Overall, she has an obligation to the British people — whose tax dollars include millions specifically for the royals — to use her influence and celebrity status for positive effect. One of the ways that she's doing this is by introducing this video, aimed at children, that talks about mental and emotional health. Mental health is very complicated. Until very recently, the subject was almost taboo among most people. It's been pointed out that Millennials, stereotypically, are willing to bluntly discuss things like depression and anxiety. Part of that is being the first generation to grow up with evolving technology, from the internet to social media. This provided not only access to mental health resources that aren't hidden behind a paywall (as actually seeing a therapist is), but has allowed Millennials to engage with each other and share their own experiences. There's where you get conversations where people say “oh, I've always done that … I never knew that it was called executive dysfunction!” or “wait, my life doesn't feel like it looks like on those commercials, but it sounds like I'm depressed.” Knowing the names for ways that you're feeling puts you one step closer to finding helpful coping mechanisms. This video is for younger children, though, and doesn't use diagnostic terminology or talk about “coping mechanisms” in a formal way. Rather it talks about feelings. Some of us don't live on emotional roller coasters now that we're adults, and under normal circumstances are feelings are more or less limited to feelings like contentment , hungry , and drunk . For children, however (and for many adults), there's a whole spectrum of feelings that their tiny little bodies and still-developing brains cannot contain. Magnifying that is the general powerlessness of children and the fact that a lot of parents don't have a clue on how to listen to a child and know what's normal for children and what could be a sign of mental illness. So a lot of what the video talks about is how children can start conversations with their parents, teachers, and even their peers about how they've been feeling lately and what symptoms they've been experienced. But it's all handled so informally that they avoid medical jargon at all costs. It's important to note (though the video does not) that, in many cases, symptoms of mental health problems in young children can be signs of abuse of various types. This is a great way to talk about this without making abused children reflexively defensive about what's been happening to them. A child might be afraid to tell an adult what's happened to them at home, but they might not associate their trouble sleeping and stomach aches and acting out with the trauma that they are enduring. Adorably, the video even deals with how to show good listening skills if a friend comes up to talk to them about mental health. Always with the suggestion that an adult might be better equipped to help out with the problem. It's wonderful that Kate Middleton provided the introduction for this video. By lending her voice, she gives it more weight and more reach. There are too many people who still see mental health as a personal failing in which they do not see purely physical ailments. That's sad, and only education can change that. Even if you don't have kids, this video is cute: Kate We would expect nothing less from the Duchess of Cambridge.

One of Hollywood’s most stable, long-term couple is no more. We must sadly pour one out for Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen. After nearly a decade together – that’s 10 years!!!! – the actor and the actress have gone their separate ways, sources confirm to Us Weekly. One insider tells the tabloid that the split isn’t exactly new. In fact, the couple hasn’t even been living in the same country for several weeks now! “She’s full-time back in L.A. He’s in Toronto,” says this insider. “They’ve been on the outs for a couple of months.” Might they get back together, though? There must have been very strong feelings involved if they were an item for such a long period of time, so perhaps a reconciliation is in the cards and this is just a non-romantic blip? “They are completely, officially done ,” the source adds. Oh. Okay then. The stars met on set of their 2008 film Jumper and got engaged that December after a fairly brief courtship. However, they quietly called off their engagement in August 2010… only to get back together three months later. So there have been some ups and downs in the past, even prior to this apparent nail in their relationship coffin. Bilson and Christensen are parents to a three-year old daughter named Briar Rose, who was born in October of 2014. Their little girl’s name is a nod to the pair’s mutual affection of Disney. “There’s a Disney reference there I suppose,” Christensen said during an appearance on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family in August of 2015, adding at the time: “The original Sleeping Beauty is called Briar Rose. Rachel – we both love Disney – but Rachel especially was very keen on the name.” Bilson, of course, is best known for roles in beloved teenage soap operas The OC and Hart of Dixie. Christensen, meanwhile, memorably played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. They didn’t talk much about their romance over the years, but Bilson did gush over her man when chatting with Cosmopolitan in 2013. “I’m a really good girlfriend – I always put all that first in my life,” she said. “I’m definitely the person who would make him his favorite dinner to come home to. I love to cook, so we make dinner at home a lot and watch movies.” Okay, so perhaps that more about herself than her man. Maybe that should have signified there were problems at home, huh? We wish these stars all the best as they go their separate ways. View Slideshow: 13 Friendliest Celebrity Break-Ups of All-Time
(Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images) Cardi B Won The Weekend Cardi B is a national treasure. This is a fact. However, this weekend was her national coming out party. On the biggest entertainment weekend of the year, she was the star of stars. She performed at the Big3 final, the Mayweather/McGregor weigh-in, the VMAs and made a shout-out that made us love her even more. PLUS she unabashedly showed her love to Offset, denying the engagement rumors, but showing how much she loves him anyway. This weekend, she really crossed over to a mainstream star and we’re here for it. Take a look at all the highlights from the weekend and how Cardi B is now a household name.
Amazing news for Teen Mom fans, and fans of great big douchebags getting what they deserve … Amber Portwood has finally dumped Matt Baier! For real this time! She’s recently claimed that they’d broken up , but it seemed a little suspect — the girl was super wishy-washy about the whole thing. At one point, she said that she dumped him, but she’d be open to taking him back if he got therapy. At another point, she called off their October wedding and their engagement, but at the time Matt was still living in her house. So even though she’s said a few times now that she’s done with him, you can see why we’ve had a hard time believing her. Until now, that is. For the past several days, Amber and Matt have been filming for the new season of Marriage Boot Camp , and judging by her tweets, it hasn’t been going that well. Earlier this week, she wrote “Crazy couple weeks and I’ve taken a few steps back in the progress I’ve made however I’m learning so much about myself through others!” Then yesterday she tweeted “I need to get out of this house!!! Drunk bimbo with too many opinions!! This isn’t going to end well when I’m done!!! Fake.” We don’t know who the “drunk bimbo” in question is, but it sounds like Amber’s trashy side is coming out hard in the Marriage Boot Camp environment. When someone asked if she was OK, she replied “I’m fine but I can’t control my anger with ignorant people.” She added “BTW I’m a narcissist and an actor supposedly… Love it.” She’s having such a bad time that she actually said “I wish Farrah was here lol.. I would be much happier!!” Considering that the last time Amber was in the same room with Farrah she tried to punch her and verbally assaulted her … that’s saying a lot. “I’ve literally let this house consume me and set my anger off more than I could ever imagine!” she admitted in another tweet. “I know my limits and I’m at the end!!!” “I’m doing a show that I should have never agreed to do,” she added. “I’ve been taken out of my element to many times however I’ve learned a lot.” One of the things she learned, apparently, is that Matt is the worst. Early this morning, she tweeted at Matt to “Take all my kids pics off your dumb social media and me and you while your at it … thanks have fun at whoever’s house your at.” She explained that it’s “been 2 days” and Matt “is already posting videos on Instagram of him at someone’s house with 50 bottles of liqueur everywhere.. it’s on.” Matt’s deleted whatever video she’s referring to, but it seems like she broke up with him, he left the Marriage Boot Camp house two days ago, and now he’s partying somewhere. When he tweeted about the long weekend for the Fourth of July, she replied “Long weekend of getting dumped,” along with a winky face. She also told him “I would lawyer up sweetheart… you owe me a little bit of change. I’ll pray for you.” Amazing, right? Even though she’s said that they’ve broken up before, she’s never been this vicious towards him, and we are absolutely loving it. Here’s hoping it’s not just for publicity for the show, and that even though Amber likely won’t get anywhere with any legal action, she tries anyway. It’s high time Matt got what was coming to him.

Emily VanCamp and Josh Bowman portrayed occasional lovers on Revenge. But the gorgeous actress and very handsome husband have now agreed to make the fictional into the non-fictional, the sporadic into the permanent. Meaning what, exactly? They just got engaged!!!!!!! The former co-stars made the announcement in a somewhat subtle but also very romantic manner: VanCamp shared the following photo on her Instagram page last night, including with it a simple heart emoji as a caption. Because what else is there to say, right? That is most definitely an engagement ring and those, we can only presume, are tears of joy that the actress is covering up with her hands. VanCamp and Bowman were two of the main leads on ABC’s Revenge, a drama that ran from 2011 through 2015. The former portrayed Emily Thorne, a young woman intent on destroying the lives of those who framed her father for an act of terrorism. Bowman played Daniel Grayson, a key member of the family on whom Emily set her vengeful sights. Neither star has talked much in public about their romance with the other, but that doesn’t mean they’ve remained completely mum. “I have a wonderful love in my life,” VanCamp told InStyle Australia two years ago, for instance, adding at the time: “Trust is the most important thing in any relationship, because everything falls into place after that.” Aware of the pitfalls that can endanger many co-stars who turn into couples, VanCamp also told Elle Canada in 2014 that she and Bowman try to keep the professional separated from the personal. “Josh and I keep it all very separate,” she said, continuing as follows: “I barely talk about him in interviews, to be honest. It’s just really funny in the moments when we’re playing these absolutely absurd things. I call him ‘wife-beater Daniel.’ “It’s hard for my family to watch – it’s also hard for them to see me in that light. But we’re actors. None of that lives in any of us. Thank God!” View Slideshow: 11 TV Co-Stars Who Made Real-Life Babies VanCamp – who will star as a nurse this fall in a new series title The Resident – previously dated her Everwood costar Chris Pratt, along with The Originals star Joseph Morgan. Meanwhile, Bowman was linked in the past to the late Amy Winehouse and the great Miley Cyrus . We send our very best wishes to the newly-engaged couple! Won’t you join us in doing the same?
As far as we know, there’s no legitimacy to the recent slew of rumors about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry being secretly engaged . But that doesn’t mean the absurdly photogenic couple hasn’t already begun the process of planning a future together. It may not seem like a big deal to us in the States, where the word “polo” merely conjures images of overpriced Ralph Lauren men’s wear, but when Meghan watched Harry compete in the royal’s annual polo match over the weekend, it sent a clear message that these two are in it for the long haul. The horsey game marked Harry and Meghan’s first public appearance together, and served as a prelude to Pippa Middleton’s wedding , where the couple will arrive hand-in-hand, and neither of them will be wielding a mallet or sitting atop a 2,000 pound hooved beast. Basically, if anyone still doubted that Harry and Meghan were the real deal, she silently told them where to cram it on Saturday. Meghan won’t be in the UK for long (she’s due back on the set of the USA legal drama Suits on Wednesday), but her latest jaunt across the pond was enough to get the British tabloid media buzzing. Sources say Harry basically begged Meghan to attend the match, as he abhors doing public appearances on his own. Meghan was so eager to oblige that she skipped the baby shower of her friend Serena Williams in order to be on hand. “Harry was the one that encouraged her to come,” a source close to the prince tells E! News. “He hates doing these things by himself and it felt great to have someone he loves cheering him on. With Meghan, he feels like they’re a team. It gives him so much energy.” As for the Harry-Meghan engagement talk , the loved-up polo match has the rumor mill working overtime. Several outlets have pointed out the similarities between Harry and Meghan’s romance and Prince William’s courtship of Kate Middleton . Many have noted that in the past few weeks, Harry and Meghan’s publicly behavior has closely mirrored that of Will and Kate in the weeks before they announced their engagement. Of course, Will and Kate were engaged for about a month before they announced it to the peasants, a fact that has many wondering if Harry has surreptitiously put a ring on it already. Whatever the case, it seems certain that Meghan won’t be forced to wait quite as long as her famously patient predecessor.

Troubled Singer Off The Hook For Allegedly Beating Up His Family Last Year Jailed “Jagged Edge” singer Kyle Norman has one less legal battle to worry about. A Georgia judge has agreed to throw out a case where he was accused of trying to stab his son in front of his nine-year-old daughter after witnesses for the prosecution didn’t turn up to court. Norman, 41, appeared in DeKalb County, Ga. Superior Court Monday, where his case was set to go to trial, but a prosecutor from the DeKalb County Solicitor-General’s Office instead asked that the case not go forward, citing the reason as “want of prosecution,” which means they lacked the evidence to proceed with the case. It’s not clear who the witnesses in question were: whether it was his wife, Merrika, other family members or police officers who responded on the night in question. The case’s dismissal also means that Norman no longer has to stay away from Merrika, or his adult son, Keelan. “We appeared and were ready for trial and the state moved to dismiss the case,” Norman’s lawyer Durante Partridge told BOSSIP. “Of course, they are relieved that the case is over nonetheless.” Cops arrested Norman last September after Norman’s wife Merrika called 911 around 5 a.m., telling police that Norman was punching his son, Keelan. The son’s uncle tried to put Norman in a headlock to stop the fight, and the son ran out of the room, but Norman followed him downstairs to continue the beat down, even pulling a knife at one point, according to the police report. An enraged Norman punched holes in the wall, broke a coffee table, kitchen fan and shattered a mirror in the home during the alleged assault, the police report states. Keelan, Norman’s son, said his father spent the evening drinking and cursing out family members. Keelan said when he confronted his dad, the man began pummeling him. The son suffered cuts and scrapes, which he said was from the broken mirror, the police report stated. Cops arrived and found the place a mess, and a bloodied Norman trying to clean it up. Cops even recovered a kitchen knife wrapped in a bloody napkin that had been hidden in the washing machine. When police tried to talk to Norman’s spouse, he allegedly blocked her from leaving. But she later managed to tell them that she was afraid of him and he’d abused her before. Norman’s nine-year-old daughter witnessed the fracas, and the tearful girl later told police she ran and hid in the closet. The officers said they found Norman with a strong stench of booze on his breath attempting to clean up the house. When they told him to stop, he allegedly said: “Nobody is going to talk to you and you need to get out of my house.” However, Norman’s case’s dismissal still won’t spring him from jail. Norman has remained locked up since January on violating the terms of his probation from beating up his then-fiancé and shoving her engagement ring down her throat. But he’ll likely return to his family home once he gets out, Partridge said. We reached out to a spokesman from the DeKalb County Solicitor-General’s Office for comment.
Ryan Edwards just can’t catch a break. Not because life’s been hard on him or anything — it’s because he’s always made terrible choices, he’s always had a terrible attitude, and he’s really just terrible in general . But still. Right now, Ryan is facing some criticism for something that could, for once, be totally out of his control. See that photo above? That’s one Ryan’s fiancee, Mackenzie Standifer , shared on Instagram recently. As you can see, he’s gained a little bit of weight and, at 27 years old, he’s already got a solid amount of grey in his hair. We saw a similar appearance in this week’s season premiere of Teen Mom OG . And, thanks to that appearance, and also his inability to be on time for anything ever, fans are concerned that he’s abusing drugs. Again. If you’ll remember, Ryan was acting pretty peculiar on the last season of Teen Mom OG, and he had a bad case of Crazy Eyes — and both of those things led people to believe he was high . People hopped on social media to theorize about Ryan’s possible drug problems, and now, people are doing the same. “Ryan Edwards is so strung out it’s so hard to watch,” one Twitter user wrote after Monday’s premiere. “Am I the only one that thinks Ryan is constantly high as sh-t on Teen Mom?” another asked. It looks like people are beginning to get concerned not only about possible drug use, but also about his general wellbeing. “Being totally serious,” one fan tweeted. “Ryan acts like someone with TBI = traumatic brain injury. He appears to have cognitive issues.” His appearance was so concerning that many people took to Mackenzie’s social media accounts to ask about him. And Mackenzie wasn’t having it. When one of her followers asked if he was “on something,” she replied “You are literally so rude. Did your mother not teach you manners?…. If you can’t say anything nice THEN DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL.” Someone tried to explain the rumors to her, writing “People think he is bc of his behavior on the show, like running an errand and it taking 5 hours, or how he sleeps constantly, and his eyes are always dilated.” But good ol’ Mackenzie responded with “You see a good 10 minutes of our lives on the show. I am pretty sure they’ve never shown any footage of sleeping in the bed, etc.” “Please stop making assumptions based off of 20 staged minutes of air time. That’s what no one realizes.” But what Mackenzie doesn’t realize is that even if we only see a tiny portion of Ryan’s life, we’ve seen it for years now. And it’s always really, really weird. So hey, maybe he’s using drugs, maybe he’s not. Maybe he has a health issue we don’t know anything about. But at the end of the day, Ryan is a bizarre human being whose eyes are constantly dilated. And until he gets that under control, the rumors will persist. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Dads, Husbands & Boyfriends Ranked: Who’s #1?!
