Kate Middleton: Meghan Markle Is Too American to Hang With Me!

By now, you’ve probably heard the reports of an intense and ongoing  feud between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton . While it’s true that the British tabloid press would probably have these two at each other’s throats even if they were the best of friends, there’s legitimate reason to believe Meg and Kate genuinely dislike one another. For starters, Kensington Palace issued a statement in the feud, which is a virtually unprecedented move by the Royals’ press secretaries. On top of that, Meg and Kate have both been suspiciously silent on the matter. It’s a curious situation, and it’s not hard to see why it’s captured the imagination of royal watchers the world over. Much ink has been spilled on the question of what caused the split, and it seems like — as is usually the case with fractured relationships — there were a number of contributing factors. Last week, we talked about the peace summit that Prince Charles hosted at Anmer Hall last Christmas in hopes of soothing what were then simmering tensions between the two duchesses. Yesterday, we discussed reports that relations broke down for good when Meghan and Kate fought over a dress (specifically, the fit of Princess Charlotte’s dress) just prior to Meg’s wedding. Now, we’re receiving word that there’s another barrier preventing Meghan and Kate from forming a friendship — and it’s been present since the first day they met. There have long been reports that Meghan is “too American” for the Royals’ liking, and it seems Kate finds her Yankee demeanor particularly troublesome. According to People magazine (long the most reliable source on this sort of royal gossip), Kate is often repulsed by Meghan’s brusque way of addressing palace staff. A source close to the situation tells People that royal aides “might not be used to the ‘say-it-as-you-see-it’ American mentality.” A different insider claims that Meghan learned early on that she needs to be outspoken and persistent if she’s going to accomplish the goals she has in mind as Duchess of Sussex. “The palace is a magical place, and it is also a place where all you hear is ‘no, no, no,’ ” says the source . Sounds to us less a matter of national identity and more a simple fact of two very different personalities occupying the same space.

Colt Johnson Lashes Out at 90 Day Fiance Fans: SHUT UP, Internet Hobos!

These past two weeks have been a rollercoaster for Larissa, Colt, and all of their fans. Larissa exposed Colt as a cheater , Colt apologized, and then  Larissa revealed that Colt is still cheating  and  is hiding money . But now, Colt is lashing out at followers who dare to criticize him. And Larissa? She’s acting like a Stepford Wife. After the entire world learned that Colt Johnson has been cheating on Larissa with multiple online admirers,  Colt apologized . At the time, he said that he’d let his fame get to his head and it looked like he and Larissa were going to try to work things out. Now, his tone is very different. “Look, internet hobos,” Colt begins a very confrontational post. Accompanying his caption is a meme of President Bill Clinton, in an old-fashioned meme format, with the words “did someone say p–sy?” No, we don’t know why Colt is like this, either. “Even though I’m on a TV show,” Colt tells his followers. “I’m still a private person.” If by  private , he means the sort who sends photos of his  privates  to a bunch of random women while he’s married, then sure. “I choose not to share or disclose my intimate moments to you,” he says. He used the word  private  and then  intimate . Is he trolling us or just hilariously lacking self-awareness? “And trust me,” Colt claims. “None of you understand what is going on.” Oh, good. There’s that oh-so-familiar condescending tone that he uses so often on  90 Day Fiance . “I will not take the low road by trying to hurt another person in public,” Colt says. It’s unclear if he’s saying that he won’t insult Larissa, whom he called “bats–t crazy” in a recent  90 Day Fiance  episode. Or maybe he intends to blame his apparent harem of Instagram skanks who say that he lied to them about his marital status. “I made mistakes,” Colt acknowledges. Coltee then adds: “I have problems.” No argument here. “But I am not so vile as to openly and freely promote hate speech against someone “I love” or even someone I hate,” he concludes. Colt’s cousin, John Maymoun, told  RadarOnline  earlier this week that the couple has been filming  90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? And they are a great example of why there’s a question mark in the show’s title. “I appear on the show only to bring Debbie a birthday gift and Larissa flowers,” John reveals. Viewers remember John from when he accused Larissa of using Colt to get a Green Card. “Larissa locks herself in the bedroom most of the time,” John shares. John didn’t have much good to share about Colt, even though he’s on his side. “He’s quite passive. I’m not sure he knows exactly what to do. He doesn’t seem happy at all. Debbie locks herself in her room as well.” Though he apologized to Colt for his behavior on 90 Day Fiance, he says that Larissa is “horrible.” “She attacked Colt twice and I don’t believe she loves or respects Colt,” John accuses. Attacking a member of your family is never okay. Though some would ask who  does  respect Colt. “But if Colt’s stuck with her, I want him to be happy,” John says. “It’s cheaper to keep her!” By Thursday, Larissa had purged her Instagram Stories and even her old posts. Now, she is — in text format only — promising her fans that she’s okay. Some are still worried. She has changed her Instagram display name to Larissa Johnson and uploaded a series of happy, peaceful modeling shots. You know when you see social media accounts by actresses who seem to just travel the world in different dresses and share captions you’d find in a self-help book? Larissa’s new posts all look like that. From a woman who used to live on her Instagram Stories, this is wildly impersonal and a little alarming. So, is she now being a good little Stepford Wife for Coltee? Is she even still in control of her own Instagram posts? You’ll know when we know.

2Pac Shooter At Quad Studios Claims His Friend Stretch Set Him Up [Video]

Read the original here:

Source: Tupac Shakur 1996 MTV Music Awards Featuring: Tupac Shakur Where: New York City, Nevada, United States When: 04 Sep 1996 Credit: Chris Connor / WENN The story behind 2Pac’s infamous night at New York City’s Quad Studios has gotten even more interesting. Makaveli’s friend is now accused of setting him up. As spotted on  HipHopDX (Riker’s Island isn’t a state prison by the way) Dexter Isaac alleges that Pac’s one time ally orchestrated the hit which left “I Get Around” rapper shot five times. In a recent interview with Gully TV  he reveals Live Squad member Randy “Stretch” Walker was paid by Jimmy Henchmen for his participation. “Stretch set the whole thing up. He was in cahoots and was giving us the play-by-play” he asserted in the audio clip. “He was in communication with Jimmy [Henchman] who had promised him a quarter brick of cocaine.” Later in the interview he also says he approached Walter “King Tut” Johnson for lying that he took part in the robbery. “We sat down and talked and he couldn’t answer. What jewelry was taken m*****f*****, describe the jewelry, what was taken? How did it go down? And this m*****f***** couldn’t say s***.” On November 30, 1994 while entering the lobby of the facility Tupac was robbed and shot by three men. It should be noted that Stretch was with Tupac but was not armed and therefore could not intervene. He was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. The next day he checked himself out of the hospital against doctor’s orders. He then showed up court in a wheelchair to receive his sentencing for the sexual assault case. In an interview with Vibe Shakur would later point blame at Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy for letting him walk into certain doom since they were recording there that night too. Later he would hint at Jimmy Henchman’s involvement on “Against All Odds”. Additionally it is widely believed Stretch was addressed on “Holla At Me” for his betrayal. “How could you do me like that? / I took your family in / I put some cash in your pocket / Made you a man again / And now you let the fear put your ass in a place / Complicated to escape, it’s a fools fate / Without your word, you’re a shell of a man /I  lost respect for you ni*** / We can never be friends.” Ironically Stretch was killed in a drive by shooting a year to the date of the Quad Studios incident fueling rumors that the slaying was payback for being conspirator in the sneak attack. In 2011 Dexter Isaac confessed to the robbery claiming Jimmy Henchmen paid him $2,500 dollars for the hit. You can listen to the interview below where he also describes the jewelry taken from Tupac.

Brad Pitt’s Kids "Never" Want to See Him Again, Source Claims

It’s been two years since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt . In that time, reports of Pitt and Jolie’s custody battle have provided constant fodder for salacious tabloid fodder. But as is so often the case with this sort of thing, all the focus on the feuding stars has overshadowed the children at the center of the battle. According to Radar Online, Brad and Angelina have reached a custody agreement, but Brad still won’t be able to see his children nearly asd much as he wants to. And it seems the reason for that is that the eldest three just don’t want to spend time with him. “It’s not the big win that Brad was hoping for,” a source tells the site. He’s getting the joint physical and legal custody he asked for, but there are contingencies.” The insider adds that Brad is deeply wounded by his children’s decision. “His eldest kids never want to see Dad, and that hurts him. They’re on Angie’s side — and always have been,” says the source. “These three kids are at the age where they can decide things for themselves. Brad is left hoping they come to see him out of their own free will.” It seems the biggest holdout is Brad and Angelina’s oldest son, Maddox. As you may recall, it was a fight between Brad and Maddox that prompted Angelina to file for divorce, and it seems the 17-year-old is still very upset by what transpired that day. “Brad’s very sad about what happened but accepts the relationship is deteriorated beyond repair. He won’t force Maddox into anything,” the insider tells Radar. Zahara and Pax reportedly share their brother’s misgivings about Brad. Insiders say Brad and Angie’s 10-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox “don’t have a lot of the serious issues their siblings do.” Caught in the middle is 12-year-old Shiloh, who reportedly feels loyalty to both parents. “Shiloh’s case is perhaps the most painful of all. She wants to see her father and is desperate to have some kind of relationship with him but she’s afraid of him, too,” says the source. “Brad can be thickheaded sometimes, and Shiloh’s at a sensitive age. Brad’s trying to change.” The situation has apparently taken a tremendous toll on the pre-teen: “She’s been struggling,” an insider claims. “Shiloh even ran away from home last summer, and it was hours before anyone realized it.” Sources say the custody battle was brutal for Brad who was forced to anser some very difficult questions and watched as his eledest children testified against him: “Brad’s mental health was called into question,” “The children explained he mistreated their mother, and he was moody and indifferent to their needs. “He’s been ordered to get individual counseling for his psychological issues while continuing his recovery Opens a New Window.  for alcohol addiction.” The source adds that the ongoing custody battle has taken a tremendous toll on Angelina’s mental health. “Angie can’t sleep,”  “Her vicious battles with Brad have kept her up at night! She now suffers from terrible insomnia — which leads to crippling anxiety … She’s a bundle of nerves and worries constantly.” Another insider adds that Angelina is “losing weight again at an alarming rate.” The sour battle may have finally come to an end, but needless to say, this situation remains very tumultuous.

Michael Rapaport is Attacking Kim Kardashian Now

Michael Rapaport believes that any publicity is good publicity. He has therefore set his sights on a new celebrity target. We hope you’re ready to be roasted by the least funny and most thirsty actor out there, Kim Kardashian! In the wake of trashing Ariana Grande for her appearance , Rapaport has returned to Instagram and gone after someone else far more famous than he’ll ever be. And it all started with what is new social media photo from Kardashian. The former sex tape star snapped a selfie of her bikini body standing inside her closet – chock full of a purse collection that costs more than the average American makes in a year – on Wednesday night and wrote as a caption: “I need a spray tan.” To be clear, this is extraordinarily lame and insulting. All Kardashian is really doing here is showing off her ridiculous figure and her even more ridiculous purse collection/ But we’ll give her a pass momentarily in order to focus on Rapaport’s response to the image. “You hate yourself,” he simply left as a comment. Now, look: One could absolutely analyze Kardashian’s need for attention and penchant for posing with very little clothing on as a sign of some larger insecurity. No doubt. She craves the compliments most followers are giving her alongside this snapshot because she needs to feel loved by strangers in order to fill some sort of void deep within herself. But we somehow doubt Rapaport is really offering up such a diagnosis. He’s just being a troll. And Noah Cyrus has called him out for it. “@michaelrapaport bruh. Why you soooo mad. Stop attacking women for likes,” Miley’s sister clapped back at the actor. Also on Wednesday, Rapaport shared an old photo of Grande for some reason and decided to simply slam her looks for no reason whatsoever. This is what he wrote, as you can see below: “Ariana Grande is 27 acts 12, you take off those boots she hides her legs in, the cat eye make-up, and the genie pony tail, and I think there’s hotter women working the counter at Starbucks. No disrespect to Starbucks.” You’d hope the guy could at least be funny while he’s being cruel. But alas. After receiving endless backlash to such a mean remark, Rapaport chose not to apologize. Instead, he doubled down and tried to somehow argue that a double standard was at work because… he insults Donald Trump with impunity? We’re not really sure about his misspelled logic here, but this is what Rapaport wrote to his critics: When I talk vicioulsy (sic) about The Leader of the Free World aka Dick Stain Donald Trump or Tiki Torch Tough Guys in Virginia, I’m a Social Media HERO, but a joke about Ariana Grande is SHAMING. EAT Dwycks SnowFlakes. I can say ANYTHING about Cockeyed Kellyanne, Laura Ingram,Melania,Ivanka or Candance Owens & you little Hipster Fake P–sy Power Hat Wearing MoFo’s get hype.Elation Talk shit about Arianna Grande & I hate Women? #Eat3Dwycks. Neither Kim nor Ariana has responded to Rapaport’s idiocy. And we doubt they will. Why elevate his nonsense on their platform, you know? As content creators, we’re excited to see who Rapaport slams next. As human beings, however, we’d really prefer it if he just went away forever and ever.

Pete Davidson Is in a "Dark Place," Worrying Friends and Family [Report]

Last week, Pete Davidson threatened suicide in an Instagram post that left the comic’s family, friends, and millions of fans deeply concerned. The situation was so dire that Davidson’s most recent ex, Ariana Grande, attempted to come to his aid. “I really don’t want to be on this earth anymore,” Davidson wrote. “I’m doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don’t know how much longer I can last. All I’ve ever tried to do was help people. just remember I told you so,” Grande responded to the comment, indicating that she had rushed to 30 Rockefeller Plaza where SNL is shot in order to lend support to Davidson. However, it seems the singer didn’t get any further than the lobby, as security refused to allow her up to the studio. “I’m not going anywhere if you need anyone or anything,” she tweeted. “I know u have everyone u need and that’s not me, but I’m here too.”   Unfortunately, it appears that Davidson’s condition has not improved in the days since his desperate cry for help. In fact, insiders tell TMZ that the situation has only deteriorated . One source tells the site that Davidson believes “the whole world is against him.” “He believes even his friends and colleagues don’t care if he lives or dies,” TMZ reports. Insiders say Pete has reached out to the people in his life — but he’s also “lashed out.” He’s reportedly stated on several occasions that if he were to take his own life, his friends and colleagues “wouldn’t care.” Pete’s friends and family are reportedly doing everything they can for the comic, but they fear it’s not enough. Ariana Grande: I Wish It Was Christmas Today Earlier this week, Ariana Grande joined Jimmy Fallon and several former SNL cast members to recreate one of the show’s best-loved holiday sketches for The Tonight Show . Bizarrely, the sketch became a source of controversy, as many felt it was inappropriate for Ariana to take part, as SNL is such a huge part of Pete’s life. There’s no word yet on how Pete reacted to the sketch, or if he’s even aware of it — but it’s probably best for those in Davidson’s life to tread lightly at the moment. We wish Davidson all the best in his recovery. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande vs. Pete Davidson: Whose Side Should You Take In This Ugly Breakup?

Travis Scott: I’m Proposing Soon to the "Coolest Motherf-cker" EVER!

We posed a very important question just a few weeks ago: Have Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott confirmed their engagement ? The answer, as it turns out, is not.  But Scott has now talked more extensively to Rolling Stone than ever before when it comes to his famous romance, confirming to the publication that we were only slightly off base by asking the inquiry above. Yes, an engagement is coming… soon . “We’ll get married soon,” Scott says very simply in this cover story, teasing his proposal and making it sound as if he knows what the answer will be when it happens: “I just gotta sturdy up – I gotta propose in a fire way.” And in a public way that will be filmed by E! cameras and which can therefore make our family tons of money, Kris Jenner is no doubt thinking. Scott got together with Jenner in the spring of 2017. Just a couple months later, we learned Kylie was pregnant, prompting many to assume the baby was unplanned and that Scott was only sticking around because it would be a major PR hit to abandon his knocked up girlfriend. But this was never the case, he insists. Absolutely, the relationship began in a casual manner. However, it took a turn for the serious long before the stars had unprotected sex and created a life inside Jenner’s womb. “We was just two kids, f-cking around. Maybe, like, the first week, you don’t know if it’s real or a fling,” he told Rolling Stone, explaining: “Then the second week you’re like, ‘Whoa, I’m still talking to her, she’s responding, I’m responding. We ain’t run out of a thing to say.’ And it got to a point where I was like, ‘I need her with me to operate. She’s that one.’” Not only is she that one .  It sounds like Kylie is The One for Travis. Followers have been wondering for awhile whether Scott and Jenner were already married , considering how they frequently refer to each other as “hubby” and “wifey.” It’s really sort of irritating. As for how Scott reacted when he learned Kylie was expecting? He spoke on that in this interview as well… “At first I was like, ‘Man, I need a son.’ “When we found out it was a girl, I was like, ‘Huhhh.’ But after a while I was like, ‘Yo, this might be the illest thing that ever happened.’ “And when Stormi was born, I was like, ‘Life is fire, bro.’” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Or, rather, we wouldn’t have said it like that ourselves. But we think Scott is saying he’s psyched to be a dad. The question now is when Kylie and Travis will have another child , not that there’s any rush at all to do so. They’ve already defied the odds by sticking together this long — and it doesn’t sound as if there’s an end in sight. “People don’t understand how real my girl is. How ill she is,” Scott says in his own way, concluding: “They have assumptions, bullshit-ass remarks of what they think is going on. Nah, bro… She’s the coolest motherf-cker of all time.” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner & Khloe Kardashian: Pregnant at the Same Time AGAIN?!

Grandmother Of 10 Dies In Jail While Being Held On $300 Bail

The rest is here:

$30 could have potentially saved Janice Dotson-Stephens’ life. The 61-year-old grandmother of 10, from Texas, died in jail after being held on $300 bail since July 17. She was reportedly charged with criminal trespassing. However, her family didn’t know she was being held until her unfortunate passing. The in-custody death of Janice Dotson-Stephens, who languished in a Texas jail for months over an alleged minor offense, showed how the cash bail system can tragically kill people… https://t.co/d6V7RiIrT5 pic.twitter.com/l1KWueur99 — NewsOne (@newsone) December 19, 2018 Dotson-Stephens had a history of mental illness. According to Refinery 29 , Dotson-Stephens struggled with manic depression and paranoid tendencies for more than 40 years. “Despite her illness she was a great mother,” Michelle Dotson told Refinery29. “She knew she didn’t always have control and so when she did, she wanted us to be our best.” This instance wasn’t Dotson-Stephens’ first run-in with law enforcement. In the past, when she was arrested the family would be informed and she would be transferred to hospital and placed under psychiatric evaluation. “She had people who loved her and family who would have easily paid the $30 USD to get her out of jail if that’s what we had to do to take the next step,” Dotson-Stephens’ sister-in-law Leticia Dotson said in an interview with KSAT ABC . Her death is being investigated by the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office. Black women continue to die in police custody. Earlier this year, Sandra Bland’s family released a documentary that explored the circumstances around Bland’s mysterious death . We hope all families get the justice they deserve.
