Miguel Candela/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Starbucks Coffee Must Now Produce Cancer Warning A judge in California has ruled that coffee retailers, including the ever-popular Starbucks , must carry a cancer warning label for their products. Why? Because of a chemical that is produced in the roasting process. Elihu Berle, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, wrote in his decision on Wednesday that coffee companies have failed to show that a carcinogen produced in the roasting process posed no significant threat. “Defendants failed to satisfy their burden of proving by a preponderance of evidence that consumption of coffee confers a benefit to human health,” he wrote. The coffee industry obviously isn’t happy with the decision, and had claimed the acrylamide chemical that was present only exists at harmless levels. Their argument is that coffee retailers should be exempt from the law because it occurs naturally in the cooking process, which is necessary to make the beans flavurful. Starbucks and the other involved defendants now have until April 10 to appeal the ruling. The lawsuit against some 90 coffee retailers was filed in 2010 by the Council for for Education and Research on Toxics. In a statement responding to the ruling, the National Coffee Association said the industry is considering all options, including appeals and further legal action. The group’s President and CEO William Murray said, “Coffee has been shown, over and over again, to be a healthy beverage. This lawsuit has… confused consumers, and does nothing to improve public health.” Didn’t see this coming, but we’ll all have to wait and see how this one plays out.
As of this writing, Kate Middleton is a mother of two kids; one boy and one girl. But she's due to give birth at almost any moment to a third child. Because she's Kate Middleton, however, and because she's a member of The Royal Family, folks across the world aren't satisfied with these basic pieces of information. They want more! They always want more! They are always speculating and asking questions, especially when it comes to the status of Middleton's womb. Might she one day get pregnant for a FOURTH time? This is what millions of people are wondering already, and it's the topic we delve into below… 1. This is Kate Middleton Yes, we’re stating the obvious. What we mean here, though, is that Kate Middleton may legitimately be the most beloved and talked-about young woman on the planet. Given her reputation and her standing in the monarchy, questions constantly abound about this Duchess. 2. This is Her Family A handsome prince by her side, a son and a daughter? Middleton really does have the perfect life, it seems. 3. This Was Her Announcement In September of 2017, Middleton and William broke the exciting news to the world that they were expecting once again. Click on the headline above to read all about it. 4. So That Will Make Three Kids Will Kate be finished at that point? Or might she try for a fourth? This is a topic constantly being debated among those who care about her life. 5. Will the Future Queen Emulate the Current One? Queen Elizabeth II had four kids and some British folk believe Kate will try to do the same. “I reckon Kate will try to emulate the Queen and have four!” a resident of Bucklebury recently told People. 6. HOWEVER… A resident of this same town has a different take, simply based on Kate’s history: “I can’t imagine Kate will want any more given the ordeal that she goes through every pregnancy. I should think that three children is enough.” View Slideshow
It’s been a tough few months in the life of Ben Affleck. Come to think of it, it’s been a tough couple years for Beantown Benny, but for brevity’s sake, we’ll stick to the more recent misfortunes. The latest round of headaches that likely has been dejectedly vaping in a Dodge Charger somewhere has to do with Ben’s back tattoo . Now, this is a saga that’s been going on for years, but only came to a head this past week, when some candid shirtless beach photos confirmed that Affleck lied about the tattoo being “fake for a movie.” We may never know what possessed Ben to have a giant, colorful phoenix etched into his flesh, but it’s not hard to figure out why he decided to lie about it: The tattoo is a big ugly mistake – not unlike the film Gigli – and Ben quite understandably wanted to cover it up. Mistakes, we all make them – but that doesn’t mean we’re exempt from getting flamed on social media when we screw up. And more followers means more haters, a lesson Ben learned the hard way, as trolls came out of the woodwork to rag on his horrendous ink. To make matters worse, now those cronut-munching Niles Crane wannabes at The New Yorker are having a go at poor Ben. In a piece published last week entitled – we sh-t you not – “The Great Sadness of Ben Affleck,” columnist Naomi Fry roasted the Batfleck within an inch of his life. Was the article meant to be funny? We think so, but it’s hard to tell with The New Yorker – a publication which remains stubbornly convinced that sketches of wild animals complaining about oaky chardonnay are the stuff of droll hilarity. Fry critiqued the photos mercilessly, ragging on Ben’s “pooching” gut and the “blue-gray towel … wrapped protectively around his midsection—recalling a shy teen at the local pool.” Yes, like her magazine’s famous cartoons, Fry’s piece won’t make you laugh , necessarily, but if you’re a certain type of smug, you may find yourself tempted to share it on Facebook as evidence of your wit and sophistication. But hey, Ben’s able to laugh at himself, even when the jokes at his expense aren’t exactly Carlin-caliber. Affleck has dealt with a lot of criticism over the years but it seems he couldn’t resist letting the dwebs of the Upper East Side know that they’re rubber and he’s bat-glue. “@NewYorker I’m doing just fine. Thick skin bolstered by garish tattoos,” Affleck tweeted at the magazine today. Ben knows you have to hit these nerds where it hurts – right in the vocabulary. Very perspicacious of you, homey.

According to the Internet, Meghan King Edmonds just made a royal mistake. The former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member, who announced her second pregnancy in late November, has posed for a new photo on Instagram. It’s a way for her to act all excited about the pair of babies in her belly, but it’s not exactly being met with enthusiasm by … … well, anyone who has looked at it. And this is because Edmonds has the audacity in this snapshot to straight up copy the one and only Beyonce Knowles. Not just in some vague or broad fashion, either. But by deliberately and blatantly channeling the iconic singer and the legendary way in which she announced she was pregnant with twins back in February of 2017. We’re guessing you remember that image, right? Just in case you somehow forgot… Shortly after the time of this photo’s publication, it became the most-Liked picture in the history of Instagram. (Tragically, it has since been surpassed by Kylie Jenner’s first-ever baby photo. But that isn’t the point at the moment.) So, what did Edmonds just dare to do? Copy Beyonce exactly! “If I can’t be Queen Bey I’ll settle for King Edmonds,” wrote the ex-reality star as a caption to the photograph below. She also added the hashtags: #twinscomingsoon #imitationisflattery #thisIsNotMyMaternityShoot . As you might expect, the Internet wasn’t exactly psyched about this recreation. Yes, of course the former Bravo star can pose in any way she wants…but come on now, Meghan! Be your own person! Don’t just copy the most popular celebrity on the planet. As you can see below, one person referred to this photo as “offensive,” but others rushed to the star’s defense. Where do you stand on this very contentious issue? In January, Edmonds resigned her position as a Real Houswife, writing on her official blog: “Today is a bittersweet day for me. After three seasons of the rollercoaster that is The Real Housewives of Orange County I’ve decided to hang up my OC Housewife hat… “I must focus on my family and my pregnancy. “I will miss the rush of the first all-cast event of the season, the anticipation of receiving each week’s episode, the thrill of wrapping the reunion.” Will you miss Edmonds on the series? Sound off below, and then be taken back Beyonce’s memorable photo shoots right here and now: View Slideshow: Beyonce: See All Her Glorious Pregnancy Photos!
Khloe Kardashian is pregnant and having either a boy or a girl. This is almost definitely a fact. But we can't say for certain because the following preview for Sunday's season 14 finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians teases Khloe on the verge of telling her family about the gender of her impending child… … only for Kourtney Kardashian to react in total and complete shock. “Do you want to know what I'm having?” Khloe asks in this sneak peek, resulting in Kourtney yelling in reply: “I'm shocked!” Perhaps Kourtney was really confident Khloe was having a daughter? Or a son? And this news in the opposite of that expectation? Perhaps Khloe is having some sort of alien robot? Perhaps this clip was edited and Kourtney's reaction doesn't actually follow Khloe's major reveal? We'll need to tune in and watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online or on our television screens in a few days to find out! Khloe is about 31 weeks along with her first child. The father, of course, is Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player Tristan Thompson. Unlike half-sister Kylie, who welcomed her first child a few weeks ago, Khloe has been rather open and candid about her pregnancy. Heck, she even discussed pregnancy sex and how it's not the same as regular sex. And she sounded beyond excited back when she confirmed the baby news. “My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” wrote Khloe as a caption to an Instagram photo of her baby bump, adding on December 20: “I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. “I simply had to trust in Him and be patient. I still at times can't believe that our love created life!” It really is incredible, isn't it? Check out the following preview for a look at what's to come on the Keeping Up with the Kardashians finale:
The Little Couple is one of several reality series that follow the lives of little people, showing the viewers at home that little people are so much more than jesters and background actors and comedic relief. But when will Dr. Jen Arnold and Bill Klein and their precious children return from this lengthy hiatus? There’s good news on that front, folks. Last year, new episodes of The Little Couple premiered in September. At the time, the reality series was marred by a scandal of sorts — but one that thankfully (refreshingly, even) did not involve the stars. The point of contention — and lawsuit — was between Discovery Communications and the show’s production company, LMNO Productions. Discovery alleged that LMNO was extorting money out of them by falsifying production costs on The Little Couple in order to pocket more money and cheat profit participants out of their fair shares. LMNO accused Discovery of engaging in a criminal conspiracy to steal multiple shows that they produce out from under them. It was shaping up to be a nasty court battle, and left fans and viewers wondering when it would ever end. However, Variety reports that Discovery Communications and LMNO Productions have settled their lawsuit . “LMNO and Discovery have reached an amicable settlement of the claims between them in the litigation.” it’s important to note that LMNO said that their alleged accounting discrepancies were due to the embezzlement by one accountant. “The settlement resolves all claims and issues that were asserted in the case between LMNO and Discovery to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.” But they’re not going to share any details. “The terms remain confidential, and the parties have agreed to make no further comment regarding the settlement agreement.” We’ll always be left to wonder what went down, it seems. So … where does this leave The Little Couple ? It looks like they’re back in business. In fact, with their legal troubles behind them, it seems likely that The Little Couple — the titular couple and their adorable adopted children — will be back on the air before you know it. Perhaps even within the next few months. After all, even while the show was on hiatus, their lives continued. Last year, Jen and Bill moved to Florida. Dr. Jen Arnold is a neonatologist. For a long time, the couple lived in Houston, Texas — and of course they added their voices to the call for hurricane relief in the devastating wake of last year’s storms. Now that they’re in Florida, fans and viewers will likely get to see the two of them raising their children. Will is 7 years old. Zoey is 5 years old. Both of them are adopted and both of them are also little people, and we’re not just saying that because they’re children. Some “fans” have made terrible comments under a couple of photos of Zoey, implying that she hates the move to Florida or that she has “emotional issues” because she doesn’t always smile in pictures. (For the record, she smiles plenty ) There are some folks among every group of fans who seem prepared to ruin it all for everyone. All things considered, adjusting to life in Florida won’t be a major hurdle for this family. Several years ago, Dr. Jen found that she had a rare form of cancer and had to endure chemotherapy treatments. She did, however, go into remission. Fans are eager to see the family continue its journey and tell their story on their television screens, and Jen has confirmed over social media that they’ve been filming. When an actual premiere date has been announced, we’ll let you know. View Slideshow: TLC Reality Shows: RANKED!

Lili Reinhart is not the hot one on Riverdale, the hottest show on TV, thanks to strategic distribution by NETFLIX, one episode per week….after it airs on traditional cable, because no one has cable anymore, allowing us to pretend like we do have cable, waiting all week for our favorite show to come in to satisfy all our needs and wants… I’ve seen the show, it’s a pile of shit, the story is stupid and gets stupider and stupider which I guess makes sense, because the public is stupider and stupider and this speaks to them….obviously…in this era of no one caring about anything but selfies, finally caring about a show, the way the execs that have been controlling us for so long have always wanted….it’s dumb.. I am sure, at least based on the storyline, that they had no idea that the show would get a second season, so they are scrambling for viral moments, and one of those is using Betty as a sexualized creature with her big tits, even though we only care about Cheryl Blossom… In sexualizing her, and trying to make her a star, she gets to go to events, so long as she busts out the tits, because they are trying to market a show here you know…..a really dumb fucking show…which doesn’t matter…since you’re all dumb. TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE Here are some pics of her in a magazine… The post Lili Reinhart Got Them Titties On of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
