Let’s face it: No one is entirely sure why so many people are excited for Prince Harry to marry Meghan Markle. She’s really just an actress best known for her role on the light-hearted USA Network drama Suits, while he’s a handsome party animal who happened to have been born into a famous family. Together, the couple has no real power or tangible influence of any kind. But while we do occasionally wonder why millions of people have the Harry/Markle wedding date (May 19, 2018!) circled on their calendar, we know for certain why Great Britain itself is excited for the nuptials: Cold, hard cash. And A LOT of it. According to Aimee Dunne, a London-based wedding planner who spoke to CNN, the Harry and Meghan wedding will cost about $670,000 (or 500,00 pounds). That’s a chunk of change, right? Yes. But it pales, significantly, in comparison to how much the next Royal Wedding will rake in . According to Express, the marriage of Prince Harry and the Suits actress is estimated to bring about $670 million into the country. We’ll give you a few moments to let that sink is… $670 million!!!!!! From where does this figure come from? We turn to David Haigh from Brand Finance for that answer. He predicts that tourism to London alone around the time of the wedding could generate about $540 million dollars in “hotel bookings,” as well as restaurant and pub visits. Haigh also looks at the way Kate Middleton has boosted various brands (she wears a certain designer’s dress… and it gets sold out in mere minutes the next day) and thinks Markle could have a similiar effect. “Meghan Markle is an accomplished actress in her own right, with a global popularity and a strong personal brand,” the financial advisor explains, adding: “It can be expected that she will join the Duchess of Cambridge as a great ambassador of the monarchy and British brands in general, especially in her native United States and in Canada where she recently lived.” Along with tourism, you can expect sales wedding memorabilia to rise exponentially over the next year or so. Just consider the following items, which are already on sale and whose profits will go to Queen Elizabeth’s estate. Now imagine the uptick in mugs, napkins and everything else you can imagine after the stars are actually married! Just by holding their wedding on a Saturday, meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have saved the country the expense of creating a bank holiday. With so many citizens so interested in the ceremony, there likely would have been a call to close businesses for the occasion. This could have cost the economy millions, if not billions. Instead, it just be a regular day off for most workers. A regular day off that will involve heavy drinking and celebrating, that is.

Last month, Jennifer Lawrence and Darren Aronofsky broke up following a brief romance that began on the set of their not-so-well received artsy thriller mother! Last year, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie separated , following a different sort of failed collaboration (the actors couldn’t see eye-to-eye with regard to their parenting methods). We don’t need to tell you what this means: Two of the Extremely Attractive People on Hollywood’s ever-dwindling A-list are single, and should therefore mingle. Yes, we badly want Brad and Jen 2.0 to happen. We would love nothing more than for these golden gods of cinema to get together and begin breeding brilliant and beautiful children who will lead us into a new era of peace and prosperity. This is the America we wish to live in. But if the fact that we once again didn’t awaken this morning to breakfast in bed served by a wisecracking robot has taught us anything, it’s that we can’t just will things into being simply because they’d be awesome. Yes, there is a rumor that Brad and J-Law are hooking up, but sadly, it comes courtesy of the ever-unreliable Star magazine. In a piece suspiciously titled, “Post split with Angelina Jolie, has Brad Pitt moved on to Jennifer Lawrence?” the tabloid offers some not-so-compelling evidence, mostly culled from anonymous sources. One “insider” claims that Brad and Jen have been “enjoying lots of late nights.” Another source wants us to believe that Brad freakin’ Pitt had a hard time summoning the courage to make the first move. “Apparently, it was not too easy for Brad to gain the courage to reach out to Jennifer, but one of her friends gave him the green signal ‘because he’s been single long enough,’” the made-up informant claims. “Jennifer is said to be so smitten that she has been putting up in Los Angeles, instead of New York, so that she can be closer to Brad.” We call pieces like these Santa stories because we want to believe they’re true, but they don’t stand up to the slightest scrutiny. But hey, Star just decided to put this one out there as a “law of attraction” type thing. Maybe if we all say Pitt and Lawrence are banging, eventually it’ll start happening. The power of positive thinking, and whatnot, ya know? It’s the same reason we won’t shut up about our breakfast robot. If we stop drawing blueprints like everyone wants us to, it’ll definitely never happen! View Slideshow: 13 Reasons to Be Glad You Never Slept With Brad Pitt
C onservative media outlets and their angry followers are maligning a Boston University theater professor on social media because she published a history of “Jingle Bells” that said it has racist roots. But her research is part of a necessary examination into this county’s racist past that should not exempt Christmas traditions. RELATED: Morgan State Student Documentary Explores Racist National Anthem Lyrics “The legacy of ‘Jingle Bells’ is one where its blackface and racist origins have been subtly and systematically removed from its history,” Kyna Hamill wrote in her research paper . She added that “attention to the circumstances of its performance history enables reflection on its problematic role in the construction of Blackness and Whiteness in the United States.” CHRISTMAS CONTROVERSY: Boston University Professor claims ‘Jingle Bells’ is a racist song pic.twitter.com/ko4ULQz1Ys — FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) December 14, 2017 The first documented performance of the Christmas jingle, written by James Pierpont , was in blackface at a theater in Boston in 1857, Hamill told Fox News . Its origins emerged from the racial politics of pre-Civil War Boston and from a group of commercial blackface performers traveling between Boston and New York. Hamill, who’s White, is not calling for the death of “Jingle Bells.” What she’s doing should be seen in the same light as the movement to delve into the racist past at educational institutions. None of that changes the past, but a simple acknowledgement goes a long way toward healing. That’s the case at Georgetown University , when the administration publicly recognized the wrongdoing and debt it owed to a mass slave sale in the 19th century that kept the institution alive. Harvard University’s president also understood that moving forward from racial conflict on campus required acknowledging that it was complicit in the slave trade.

Here’s the Olsen Twin who still has to work because she isn’t a billionaire like her twin sisters, who were properly exploited to become the richest twins besides the Bitcoin Twins who were once the facebook twins, in the history of twins, because twins have double the manpower and can theoretically work double as hard as a normal person…especially when they have stage parents… I think she’s the hot sister, which isn’t that hard since her sisters are fucking aliens, weird things happen in the womb when there is only so much nutrients to give a fetus, and sure she may only be working because of her sisters, but who luckily doesn’t look like an alien like they do, because you can still live a good life being a rich celebrity…without being on another level of famous, but she probably still feels inadequate and that’s great… But not as great as her pulling her leggings out of her vagina, one of life’s blessings, an even I like the hashtag Blessed everytime I see it, and in this era of leggings too small…it’s an event that happens always…PUSSY definition in tight pants, is everything, and seeing a girl fight it in public…like pulling her underwear out of her ass…is porn to me….
