President Obama called for a thorough probe into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election hacking scandal that unveiled classified emails from top Democrats and Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff.
Yesterday, we reported on the rumor that Katy Perry is engaged to Orlando Bloom . Like every celebrity couple, Orlaty has been the subject of marriage rumors pretty much from the start of their relationship, but this time around, there’s actually reason to believe that they’re soon to get hitched. The 32-year-old was spotted sporting a massive rock on her left ring finger while out and about with Bloom in NYC this week, first of all. Sources say she quietly eluded inquiries about her possible upcoming nuptials with the actor, but the rumor runs deeper than that. Now, a new rumor has Katy’s 91 million Twitter followers buzzing thanks to a seven-second video clip that people are probably reading into way too much. Noted pantsuit enthusiast and historical footnote Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance at last night’s annual UNICEF ball in Manhattan, where Katy was being honored. Perry and Clinton became such besties during the 2016 presidential campaign that Katy dressed as Hillary for Halloween . Obviously, Hillary was more of a BFD than Katy for much of 2016, but now that the Orange Overlord has fulfilled the prophecy of doom, Katy once again has the upper-hand. In fact, she’s so famous that she upstaged the woman who came very nearly made history earlier this month simply by standing in the crowd and watching her speak. Check out the clip that’s got everyone talking below: Katy Perry Pregnancy Video There you have it. Orlando briefly touched Katy’s stomach, and apparently, that’s enough to get the entire Internet to start picking out baby names. We’ll grant you that it was a bit of an odd gesture, but we don’t think it’s time for Katy to put away her whipped cream nozzle bra in favor of a breast pump just yet. But who knows?

Of course, that would mean being a famous Hillary supporter with a kid by a foreigner under the Trump administration. Donnie probably already ordered a special catapult made just to fling Katy over the wall in case he spots a baby bump. Too soon?

Happy Thanksgiving, from the whole THG family to yours. What would a quintessential, uniquely American holiday be without family, food, football and appreciation for the things we hold dearest? Nothing. But this year it’s taken on a special meaning. Here at The Hollywood Gossip, on this twenty-fourth day of November, the year Two Thousand Sixteen, we honor some impressive turkeys. By that, we mean some of the celebrities we’ve had the honor, the pleasure, and the burden of covering here over the past 10.87 months. Or in the case of the winner, about that many years. Who ruffled the most feathers and left us shaking our heads, hanging our heads in shame, and/or laughing our heads off at the same time? And who would we POSSIBLY select, this of all years, as the recipient of the prestigious 10th Annual Spencer Pratt Thanksgiving Turkey Award!? Without further ado, here are our Top 10 Turkeys of 2016 … and man alive, we’re talking fowl individuals. Legit bird brains up in hurrrr. 10. Florida Man . If you see an absurd news headline on Facebook that somehow isn’t from a fake political site, #FloridaMan was likely involved. 9. Justin Bieber . He’s pulled it together a bit and actually fallen a few spots from prior years, but still makes the list b/c what a douche canoe. 8. Kanye West . We wish him well, now that we know he may be truly mentally unstable, but even that can’t explain some of his antics. 7. Jon & Kate Gosselin . No, this list isn’t from 2008, but it might as well be, as these two are STILL going at it harder and uglier than ever. 6. Hillary Clinton . Worse move in hindsight … setting up a private email server or not setting foot in Wisconsin this whole election season? 5. Jordan Rodgers . The Bachelor franchise has seen its share of guys who deserve a pumpkin pie to the face, but nothing like J-Rod. 4. Jim Bob Duggar . For no other reason than having invented those absurd courtship rules , bird brain JBD can gobble up this spot. 3. Stevie J & Joseline . The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta duo EASILY prevails for most dysfunctional celeb couple of ’16, which is saying a lot! 2. Jenelle Evans . Now expecting her third kid by her third different guy, the Carolina Hurricane took her kid to the beach … in an actual hurricane. And the #1 Turkey of the Year honor goes to – who else – the newly-elected 45th President of the United States of America, ladies and gentlemen! 1. Donald J. Trump . Comment rendered unnecessary. If you really require an explanation, go and read any page of any site of the Internet. Fun Thanksgiving task: Bring him up at the dinner table and see what happens … everyone is being SO SECRETIVE with their opinions! Fun THG fact: Mr. President-Elect is the first two-time winner of this award, having previously been named top THG Turkey of 2012 . Our prescient words four years ago today … “The king of PR stunts, conspiracy theories and Obama rants wins our top turkey honor because of his repeated attempts to insert himself into the national political discourse, and the complete and utter rejection of his ‘ideas’ by citizens across the political spectrum.” Well, joke’s on us. And the whole planet.
Hillary Clinton is struggling to come to grips with the idea that Donald Trump is U.S. President-Elect , but she's getting on with her life too. Wednesday, the former Secretary of State made her first public appearance since the stunning 2016 election results of last week. At a Children's Defense Fund event in Washington, D.C., there was no avoiding the fact that she was still reeling from the experience. “I know that over the past week a lot of people have asked themselves whether America is the country we thought it was,” she said. “The divisions laid bare by this election run deep.” “But please listen to me when I say this: America is worth it. Our children are worth it. Believe in our country, we fight for our values.” “[We] never, ever give up.” The fact that we know who won the popular vote by more than 1 million votes is likely of zero solace to our nation's 42nd FLOTUS. “”There have been a few times this past week when all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book or our dogs,” she said. “And never leave the house again.” In that sentiment, she is far from alone. No matter how conciliatory and hopeful she may be about a Trump presidency, this has got to hurt. See highlights of Clinton’s speech below …
“In the aftermath of the US presidential election, people are wearing safety pins as a symbol of solidarity with people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, religious minorities, and others facing targeted violence. The movement got it’s start after the successful Brexit campaign in the UK, when many immigrants and refugees faced an uptick in racist attacks. Allison, the American woman living in London who started it, told BuzzFeed News how the idea came to be. [ madamenoire ] Michelle Obama Delivers Hilarious Response To Man’s “Run For President!” Request Ever since last Tuesday’s election, many people have been looking forward. And I’m not necessarily talking about trying to prepare for what’s to come after January, but to the 2020 election. And while those who know Michelle Obama have been pretty confident in the idea that she wouldn’t give public office the time of day, many are still holding out hope. This is especially true after all the enthusiasm she garnered while supporting Hillary Clinton’s campaign. [ madamenoire ] #GrabYourWallet: Major Retailers Named In Boycott Of All Trump-Related Products The hashtag #GrabYourWallet has begun circulating online and it comes with a list of companies people are boycotting for selling Trump family related products. If you’re going to participate in this boycott, be prepared to see your Polo collection suffer. San Francisco-based brand and digital strategist Shannon Coulter started the boycott initiative when she urged people to not buy anything from Ivanka Trump’s clothing line after her father Donald Trump made those “grab them by the p*ssy” remarks. Her plight has since grown into an all-out Trump boycott of all of his family’s business and the corporations that support them.
