Kate Middleton Gives Meghan Markle Weird-Ass Advice on How to Get Pregnant

It’s been almost four months since Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in a ceremony that inspired Ashleys the world over to make the ill-fated decision to wear a fancy hat to brunch the next day. Naturally, the rumors about Meghan being pregnant with Harry’s baby began almost immediately after the ceremony, but thus far, there’s been no official announcement from Buckingham Palace. Obviously, there’s nothing remotely unusual about a couple that’s been married less than four months being childless, but since Meghan is 37, and she and Harry have both spoken publicly about wanting to raise a large family, it was widely assumed they’d get right down to the business of making babies. At thisn point, it seems Meghan remains un-knocked up, but she’s hoping to change that soon — and sources say she’s turned to her sister-in-law for advice. “Meghan has been getting baby making tips from all her friends with kids, including Duchess Kate,” one insider tells Hollywood Life. “Kate told her to drink more tea. That was her big piece of advice. She’s embraced all the British traditions and has started drinking tea at tea time.” Well, if that isn’t the most British reproductive advice in history! Of course , Kate said to drink effing tea! Meghan, being a grown-ass woman, probably came to her sister-in-law asking advice and expected Kate to suggest a position or something. Instead, she gets told to bust out her doilies and get sippin’. “I say, the Queen Mum used to maintain that a spot of Earl Grey will fill your belly with the very pastiest of heirs,” Kate probably said, clutching her pearls at this American’s effrontery.  The crazy part is, it seems Meg is actually listening to Kate’s advice: “She’s not really sure if it will make any difference in helping her get pregnant, which she’s very graciously following Kate’s advice,” says the source. We hope she at least put an American spin on the situation and started guzzling 99 cent cans of Arizona. Fortunately, Kate’s not the only one offering Meghan conception tips. It seems the Duchess of Sussex has also been in touch with her friends back on this side of the pond, who have been a bit more helpful in their advice. “Her friends in Toronto are more holistic minded, so they’ve offered tips like practicing more yin style yoga and doing a nightly meditation,” says the insider. “Meghan’s not obsessing about getting pregnant, but she’s very open to everyone’s ideas. She’s a naturally curious person, so she loves learning what worked for her friends when it comes to their fertility.” That’s good, because so far her friends are offering lame-ass advice that has nothing to do with putting the old peener in the va-jay-jay. We kid, of course. The Duke and Duchess probably don’t need much advice on that part of the process: “Meghan and Harry are enjoying non-stop baby-making sex at all hours of the day,” says the insider. “Meghan has an app on her phone that tracks of her fertility, so when she is most likely to conceive. “That means in the mornings, afternoons and at night, they make time for love with a baby being the goal…and Harry is not complaining at all. There may not be a bun in her oven yet, but they are having fun trying.” That sound you just heard was everyone in England over the age of 50 gasping in unison at such frank talk of a royal’s sex life.

Jeremy Vuolo, Jinger Duggar Gush Over Baby Felicity: See Her at Two Months!

Just days before Felicity Vuolo’s two month “birthday,” Jeremy and Jinger are taking to social media and gushing over their baby. Fans had expressed concerns about the precious infant’s health in recent photos. But as fans can see, little Felicity is all smiles. In the absolutely precious photo that you’re about to see, a grinning Jeremy Vuolo gazes warmly into the eyes of his infant daughter. Baby Felicity lays on her back and smiles up at him. According to the captions, this is a very common occurrence these days. Jeremy writes: “She’s all smiles these days.” This is a truly touching and beautiful family photo. Take a look: Felicity was born in July, as Jeremy and Jinger shared on the family website. “God is so kind!” the post gushed. “Jinger gave birth to Felicity Nicole Vuolo this morning at 4:37 am.” And then they laid out her stats: “Felicity weighs 8lbs. and 3oz. and is 19.5 inches long.” “Both mom and baby are healthy, doing great, and resting well,” they shared. The post concluded: “We are very thankful for her safe arrival and look forward to life as parents” Felicity will be two months old on September 19! Babies grow up so quickly, and the couple’s fans and followers are happy to see pictures. Of course, a recent photo of Felicity Vuolo raised concern among fans . They looked at the adorable baby girla nd perceived that she looked “blue,” which could indicate a problem with circulation or oxygenation. A number of fans shared these genuine worries in the captions, not to be hateful, but simply out of alarm. Fortunately, it looks like Felicity remains happy and healthy. Perhaps what followers perceived was merely a trick of the lighting? After Jeremy and Jinger shared the name of their young daughter, some were puzzled over its meaning. (And no, it is not a reference to a Keri Russell character) While you might not expect hardcore Christians like these two to name their daughter after a Roman deity (Felicitas), they explained that they named her after “a young Christian girl who lived long ago.” That is a clear reference to Saint Felicitas, a young Christian woman who was martyred alongside Saint Perpetua in the Third Century in Carthage. The Vuolos are not Catholic, but clearly they felt a connection to Felicitas’ religious convictions. More to the point, however, Jinger and Jeremy explained that the name simply “felt right.” It is wonderful that Felicity smiles so much. Babies are not generally capable of giving a full smile when first born — it is a skill that they develop. But smiling is a great indicator that Felicity is successfully bonding with Jeremy and with Jinger, expressing a rush of excitement when she sees her parents. Babies can be grumpy and they can cry, which is also normal and healthy, but it’s always good to see a baby smile. Let’s hope that she continues to smile — if Jinger and Jeremy prove to be better parents than anyone in Jinger’s terrifying family.

Man Wrongfully Convicted Of Murder Advocates For Reading In Prisons

A fter spending nearly three decades behind bars for a crime that he didn’t commit, a Brooklyn native is turning the pain from his experience into something positive. John Bunn , 41, is advocating for education in prisons and launched a program that provides inmates with books, CNN reported. John Bunn was wrongfully convicted of murder as a teenager and exonerated after 27 years of fighting for his freedom. He says the power of reading saved him. Now, he's building libraries in prisons. https://t.co/Xt7iFmbIGI pic.twitter.com/zdjnFVXQaA — CNN (@CNN) September 15, 2018 In August of 1991—when Bunn was 14-years-old—police officers came to his Crown Heights apartment and took him to the 77th precinct for questioning in relation to the murder of a Rikers Island corrections officer, the news outlet writes. Although Bunn told officers that he had nothing to do with the crime, he was put in a line up with adults, wrongly identified as the individual responsible for the murder, and placed behind bars. He was charged with murder and robbery and sentenced to nine years to life. From that day on, he and his family tirelessly fought for justice. Going to prison was a tough journey for Bunn. He reportedly dealt with abusive guards who he claims attacked him because of the nature of his case. He developed depression and anxiety. Bunn struggled to communicate with his family while he was imprisoned because he was illiterate. That barrier motivated him to learn how to read and write. He started reading children’s books and dictionaries and worked with teachers to develop his skills. That experience fueled his passion for education and he then went on to get his GED in prison. Reading became an escape from his situation. “I wrote my mother one day … and I said, “They can lock my body, but they can’t trap my mind,” he told CNN. “The power of reading made me feel that way. I felt trapped without a voice for so long, but the power of reading could take my imagination, and take me to anywhere in this universe.” In May 2018—with the help of a non-profit called the Exoneration Initiative—he was exonerated. Shortly after being released from prison, Bunn launched his own non-profit called A Voice 4 The Unheard. Through the organization, he’s focusing on growing the libraries at Riker’s Island and putting literature into underserved schools. His organization has donated over 20,000 books. “There’s no greater feeling than me feeling like I’m existing for a purpose, and this is what gives my life purpose right now. Through my nightmare, I found my dream,” he said. Organization’s like Bunn’s are needed. According to the Literacy Project Foundation , three out of five people in U.S. prisons have trouble reading.

Jenna Cooper to Jordan Kimball: Stand By Me! I’m the Victim of Fraud!

Jenna Cooper is not going down without a fight. Amidst accusations that she went down on another man while she was getting close and very cozy with Jordan Kimball on Bachelor in Paradise this summer, the maligned reality star has sent a message to her ex-fiance. And also her family members, friends and loved ones. This is how Cooper’s desperate plea to Jordan opens: To Jordan, our families, friends, and supporters: please stand by as I prepare to provide the true facts that will demonstrate the fraud perpetrated by terrible individuals. Please be patient as this takes time. In the interim, I appreciate all the continued love and support I have received.  I am presently back home with my family trying to heal from this heartbreak. As a refresher: Jordan proposed to Jenna on Tuesday night, concluding their love story on the Season 5 finale in grand and romantic fashion. He even got down on one knee, as you can see here: But just before this proposal aired on ABC, Bachelor know-it-all Reality Steve published three separate text messages exchanges that Jordan supposedly had with an unnamed male over the past several weeks. In these exchanges, Jordan teased giving the man oral sex and also said her relationship with Jordan was faked for the cameras. The man said he went public with her exchanges, and with their dalliance, because he believed Jenna was simply “manipulating” both he and Kimball. These messages (below) are pretty damning: But Jenna insists they are fake. She has maintained her innocence ever since this scandal broke, while hiring an attorney to pursue a defamation case and/or to help her get to the bottom of what has sullied her allegedly good name. “To Jordan, I am sorry that horrible people have used fabricated, hateful efforts to come between us,” she continues in this latest Instagram post, adding: “I promise you that the truth will be set free in the coming weeks, and it will unquestionably be to your satisfaction.” From there, Cooper directly addressed the man who claims he’s been sleeping with her behind Jordan’s back, writing: “To the persons that did this to Jordan, myself, our relationship, the show, our families, and our fans, Justice is coming to you.” Kimball has said the engagement, and the relationship as a whole, is over. He has also been adamant in defending the legitimacy of his romance, insisting to all doubters that he fell very much in love with Cooper and he’s very hurt by any insinuation to the contrary. It’s all been real to Jordan. As for Jenner, this is how she ended her emotional message on Saturning morning: To anyone who has had people callously, maliciously and falsely attempt to destroy all that you Love, this is for you too. I look forward to returning to a place of happiness, joy, moving forward with Jordan, and life..knowing that everyone knows the truth.

Jersey Shore Recap: I Will F–k You Up, B!!

Move over, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley . Two new combatants stepped into the figurative ring on Thursday night, as Jersey Shore: Family vacation featured yet another ugly confrontation between cast members. A week after  Angelina Pivarnick arrived in Las Vegas , due to an invitation by MTV producers Snooki, the tension between this former regular and Jenni “JWOWW” Farley reached record levels. And it was largely because Angelina tried to make nice with JWOWW. Well, it was really because Angelina referred to JWOWW as a “Jersey Whore” back in May, but Jenni warned her foe last night that if she just kept her distance, everything would be okay. Angelina failed to heed this advice, however. Jenni tried to simply steer clear of Angelina, who she said was “like a pet you don’t really want.” When the group went down to the pool, for example, JWOWW refused to clink glasses with Angelina during a toast, thinking that ignoring her rival would basically make her go away. But it had the opposite effect. It turned Angelina into an irritating pest. “Why would she all of a sudden say cheers to me?” Jenni asked Nicole. “I’m just trying to f-cking enjoy my last couple of days,” she added. “I’m a mom now. If I’m gonna be getting bullied and dumb shit, I’m out.” It was clear that the situation was merely escalating with every passing moment. At one point, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino warned Angelina to “proceed with caution” when it came to her relationship with Jenni (he should know… remember when she punched him?), but Angelina continued to do annoy JWOWW. In a cab on the way to the club that evening, Snooki tried to get Angelina to apologize to Jenni for the whore comment. But… “You were acting like a f-cking whore,” she told JWOWW.  When Nicole reprimanded her for repeating the insult, Angelina replied: “Not a whore like that, you ass! Like a freaking bitch. You were acting like a bitch!” Jenni then tried to explain to Angelina that there was a difference between a “whore” and a “bitch,” but it fell on deaf ears. “It’s obvious that Jenni still has resentment towards me, and I’m to blame a little bit, but I’m trying genuinely to be friends with her and maybe we can squash this eventually?” Angelina said. Then, naturally, she attempted to sit on Jenni’s lap and dance with her at the club. Bad move there, Angelina. “I just want to party and let loose and have fun, and she’s just not having it,” Angelina said. “I don’t know if my approach is wrong, but I’m trying.” (Editor’s Note: We knew. Everyone there knew. You’re approach was definitely wrong.) Continuing down the clearly wrong path, Angelina tried to drop some ice down Jenni’s shirt while at the club, a so-called prank that only served to anger the star. “Don’t touch me!” Jenni boomed “You’re out of your damn mind! What is wrong with you? Stop. Stop, or I will f-ck you up!” “I don’t know what Angelina’s thinking messing with Jenni,” Ronnie said hilariously, referring to Jenni’s husband and adding: “Roger don’t even do that yet, and he’s been married to her for eight years!” This was a lesson Angelina did not learn, however, which is how she ended up scuffling with JWOWW on the dance floor and getting caught in a headlock. Angelina eventually squirmed her way out of Jenni’s grip and slapped her in the face with the back of her hand. View Slideshow: Jersey Shore: Relive the Show’s Most Iconic, OMFG Moments! “Bring me home, or I’m gonna go to jail,” JWOWW said to The Situation, apparently convinced she broke the law. Finally, to close out yet another violent and intense episode, Jenni told everyone at dinner the next night that she was going home early.

Bossip on WETV Recap: Hat-Fishing Men Get Put On Blast

Source: Michael Loccisano / Getty The Bossip crew on tonight’s episode of Bossip on WETV pulled no punches, as usual when discussing major pop culture events of the week. Kym Whitley, Tami Roman, and Joseline Hernandez join tonight’s episode to get in on the smack talk. The first few topics up for discussion are Serena Williams’ match against Naomi Osaka. As we all know, Williams went off on the umpire for accusing her of cheating. That’s obviously a wtf! No athlete, especially one as good as Williams would ever want to hear such a blasphemous statement made about their playing skills so she rightfully went off. Tuh! via GIPHY Next, the crew weighs in on the new Miss America, Nia Imani Franklin. The 25-year-old multi-talented beauty was recently crowned in what was the first Miss America since the organization did away with the swimsuit competition. It’s Miss America 2.0, who can be mad at that? Some people can, but I’m not. Kym Whitley is the first guest to join the squad to discuss her new book, a novel entitled, The Delusion of Cinderella , and her time on Braxton Family Values helping Traci come up with some storylines outside of her sisters since they ditched her. It’s a cool vibe as they break down Chris Brown’s child support drama, Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B’s beef situation, and the rumored Faith Evans vs. Mary J. Blige NYFW fight. The latter never actually happened, but it did inspire the Bossip version, which was cougar fights they’d like to see. They want to see Kris Jenner vs Caitlyn, Cicely Tyson against anyone (lordt), Madea and Mo’Nique, but Kym pointed out that, that technically already happened. It’s all just jokes people, but let us pray. Joseline Hernandez joins the convo via video chat to add nothing we don’t already know about the Nicki vs. Cardi situation, but she does offer that no one better mess with her. via GIPHY Tami Roman joins the group for a quick kiki and she discusses how people don’t often get to see her softer side on Basketball Wives because “they want people to be specific characters.” She’s a character alright! Anyway, she and Reggie still aren’t getting married and in case you didn’t know, the Bonnet Chronicles is the result of people on Basketball Wives talking smack about her. via GIPHY Finally, the episode concludes with gems only Bossip can deliver — Hat-fish offenders. Hat-fish is a term for big headed men who are fine when they have their hats on, but…you get it. Ne-Yo, Plies, and Young Jeezy are a few members of the hat-fish squad. Then, play cousin Marcellas Reynolds stops by to discuss NYFW lewks and finally, the episode winds down with the reminder that the Braxton Sisters plus Mama Braxton, will be back on Braxton Family Values next week and Iyanla Vanzant is going to read Tamar (and probably all of them) for filth.
