Meghan Markle Bullying Staff Over Home Renovations? [Report]

We’re just weeks away from Meghan Markle’s due date, and not surprisingly, the tabloids are loaded with reports about the mom-to-be stressing over last minute details. Of course, Meghan’s situation is relatable to millions, and since most media outlets live in fear of anyone considering the Duchess of Sussex even remotely likable, they had to go and put the usual “diva” spin on it. Whereas someone who is well-liked by the fickle gossip hounds of the tabloid media might be depicted as a harried mom feathering her nest while frantically attending to her many professional obligations, Meghan is saddled with the mom-zilla label. That’s not really a thing, in case you were wondering, but let’s dive into this mess, anyway: “She’s totally being a mom-zilla with the home renovation,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “Right now she is being a task-master,” the insider adds, as though that’s a bad thing. The insider goes on to claim that Meghan is — gasp! — working hard and keeping busy in the final weeks of her pregnancy. “She is not taking a break and has a long list to accomplish for the new house,” added the source. Remember Meghan’s baby shower in New York last week? The one that was criticized as decadent and wasteful by the UK media, even though there were like 12 people in attendance, and Meghan’s friends paid for the whole thing? Yeah, now the tactic has changed and Meg is being slammed for not being fully present during the event. “Even at her recent baby shower in New York City she was on the phone with people in the U.K. at all hours barking orders at them for — of all things — the paint,” says the source. The insider goes on to say that Meghan is decorating Frogmore Cottage as she sees fit, without any approval from palace officials. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to us, but what do we know? “She was told she needed approval and she said she didn’t care about approval because she doesn’t need approval and what she says goes,” says the insider. “She’s making demands left and right and friends worry because she is on the go all the time and simply not taking any breaks.” You almost have to marvel when the anti-Meghan invective has full-blown split personality disorder like this. Meghan is a spoiled diva, but she’s also working way too hard? Which is it? We guess when you can’t decide on a single trash-talk strategy, it’s best to just hurl all of your BS at the wall and see what sticks.

Khloe Kardashian Breaks Down Over "Trust" Issues in New KUWTK Promo

Khloe Kardashian really should have seen this coming. We mean no disrespect and we feel awful for Khloe that she's once again dealing with Tristan Thompson cheating on her … … but the latest trailer for Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 16 makes it evident that Khloe has been struggling with her relationship for months. Specifically, struggling with whether she can actually trust the unethical father of her daughter. Khloe says so herself in this preview. “It's really hard to regain trust,” Kardashian says early on in ths video, speaking to her siblings and adding: “Your one stupid weekend, you just demolish a relationship.” Now, remember: These episodes were filmed a very long time ago. So Khloe can't be talking about Thompson hooking up last week with Jordyn Woods . We're actually not sure precisely what Khloe is citing here, but it very likely goes all the way back to Thompson's first cheating scandal because Season 15 concluded with Khloe giving birth last April. And, tragically, this coincided with when she learned that Thompson totally sucks. Elsewhere in this revealing look ahead to Season 16: – Kim is in a car with Kanye West when she says: “It's a full-time job warding off the negative people. I'm not going to be nice.” – Kendall is referred to as “uptight” by Kourtney, while Jenner seems especially annoyed by… someone. “You did some not-cool things,” she says. “I just wanna be like alone.” – Elsewhere, while plenty on this series is very clearly scripted, the family will also be facing something over which they had no control whatsoever: the devastating effects of the Southern California wildfires. There's flames entering my property,” Kourtney says. This was a legitimate, scary, dangerous concern for thousands and thousands of California residents — and celebrities certainly weren't exempt from the pain. “Kim's house is on fire!” Khloe exclaims at one point in this preview, while Kris Jenner adds: “We're evacuating.” “This is like, unreal,” a tearful Khloe concludes, referencing the flames in this case, not the behavior of her really terrible boyfriend. Although… most people consider Thompson's actions to also be unreal.  Keeping Up with the Kardashians returns to E! on Sunday, March 31. Take a look at the first teaser HERE and the check out the new one now!

Offset: Couples Counseling Saved My Marriage to Cardi B!

Now that they’re back together, Offset doesn’t want to lose Cardi B again . But it takes more than expert pipe-laying and avoiding groupies to make a relationship truly successful. Offset explains that he and Cardi are in marriage counseling to keep their  In a new interview on “The Breakfast Club,” Offset opened up about his desire to not upset Cardi. When asked if he was afraid of losing her again, he replies: “For sho! Yeah!” But he explains that the two of them are working through their challenges. “You gotta go through steps and different things so we can grow,” he reasons. And one tool has been majorly helpful in helping them to process their relationship: marriage counseling. But don’t expect to see Offset and Cardi B appear on Marriage Boot Camp: Celebrity Edition any time soon. “Not on the TV though,” Offset clarifies. “Real behind the scenes.” He explains that he and his wife are working on “getting to know each other.” As has been demonstrated time and time again, reality television is an okay place to meet someone, but a terrible place for relationship growth. Real marriage counseling, Offset explains, is “getting to know who you’re with and appreciate them all the way around.” Charlemagne the God then asks for clarification: Did Offset and Cardi finish with their marriage counseling? Is everything fixed now? Offset replies that no, it’s really more of a process. He and his wife are “Working through it,” Offset answers. “Gotta work, gotta keep,” Offset emphasizes. “Don’t stop … we’re young, man.” In other words, he’s serious about staying with his wife, and that means that he doesn’t want to be complacent or just rely upon wishful thinking. Of course, the primary impetus behind Offset and Cardi B’s separation last year wasn’t some sort of mystery. It also wasn’t an emotional death by a thousand cuts.  Offset was banging other women. Cardi had just brought Kulture into this world, but she gave her cheating husband the boot. There are women in this world who would be happy to have a rich rapper husband who sleeps around. Cardi, one of the most talented women on the planet, is not one of them. Offset was very lucky, because Cardi decided to give him a second chance. Their reunion brought mixed reactions from fans. First of all, some had felt that Cardi was always out of Offset’s league. That’s … really between her and Offset. Secondly, Cardi was very blunt about why she was giving him a second chance. After their first reunion, she explained that his dick game was out of this world and that she had missed it too much. Finally, a lot of fans fear that Cardi truly believes that Offset is the only man who could truly love Kulture as a father. Obviously, that is untrue. But what fans think — and we say this in the nicest way possible — doesn’t really matter. What we think doesn’t really matter. This is about Cardi and Offset. And it sounds like they’re taking their marriage seriously. Hopefully, history will not repeat itself. View Slideshow: Offset Lavishes Cardi B with Ridiculously Expensive Christmas Gifts

More Than Half Americans Believe Women Should Have To Change Her Last Name to Her Husband’s By Law

Follow this link:

Chile More than 70 percent of Americans believe a woman should change her surname to her husband’s after getting married, and approximately half of all Americans believe it should be a government requirement. A 2017 study in Gender Issues arrived at those numbers. According to Portland State University sociology professor Emily Fitzgibbons Shafer  “The most common reason given by individuals who advocated women’s name change was the belief that women should prioritize their marriage and their family ahead of themselves.” More than 1,200 people were surveyed for the study. The study used a fictional scenario by using the same woman, married to Bill Cook, but with three different last names: Carol Sherman, Carol Sherman-Cook, or Carol Cook. “Carol has been spending a lot of extra hours at her office job hoping for a promotion,” the study stated. “Bill is starting to feel burdened by her absence, as he is picking up her slack in housework.” People taking the survey were then asked to rate how committed Carol was to being a wife. The survey then asked how many late work days from Carol that Bill should be okay with, and rating how justified Bill would be in divorcing her. “ Among women and highly educated men, women’s surname choice seems to have little effect on their perceptions of women as a wife or the standards to which she is held in marriage.” Low-educated men, however, thought a woman who chose a different last name from her husband’s was less committed to the marriage and that her husband would be more justified in filing for a divorce “for her perceived neglect of the marriage (as measured through repeated lateness).”

Josiah Duggar to Lauren Swanson: I Don’t Deserve You

Josiah Duggar is just so in love with Lauren Swanson. And he wants the whole world to know it, especially in light of some heartbreaking news the couple shared last week about their attempt to start a family. Indeed, just days after revealing that Swanson had suffered a miscarriage in October, Josiah wrote the following in honor of a certain romantic holiday promoted by Hallmark and other companies: “Happy Valentine’s Day baby! “I wish I was better at expressing how much you mean to me. I don’t deserve you, you are the world to me. I cannot imagine life without you. I feel so honored to be your husband. “Thank you for choosing me! I love you.” Pretty darn sweet and sentimental, right? Even more so when you consider that Duggar penned this as a caption to a photo of himself and Lauren on their wedding day. The couple got married in late June in Arkansas. It was presumed at the time that they’d announce a pregnancy shortly afterward, with numerous celebrity gossip sources out there wondering whether Swanson was expecting. As it tragically turns out, the answer at one point was yes: She was pregnant. But Swanson then lost the baby. She and Josiah confirmed the awful news on last Monday’s season premiere of Counting On. “It really was a hard time for our family going through this right after we got married,” he said on air, adding: “And all the dreams of getting to see our little one and hold it in our hands dashed before our eyes.” Swanson started to feel sick as she and her husband were preparing to go away for a friend’s wedding. She initially thought the cramping and stomach pain was due to some kind of dietary problem… but then she learned otherwise. “It was late at night and I went to the restroom, and right there was the baby. Gone. I couldn’t believe it, and I was hoping it wasn’t true,” Swanson told fans and viewers on this return episode of the TLC program. So very sad. We cannot imagine going through such a thing. Thankfully, however, Duggar and Swanson’s bond remains strong, as evidenced by this Valentine’s Day message. And they also have the support of their loved ones to get them through this challenging time in their marriage. “We love you so much and look forward to meeting your little one when we get to heaven!” Anna Duggar, who suffered her own miscarriage, told the pair on Instagram. John David Duggar Abbie Grace Burnett echoed this sentiment, writing on their own account: “[We] will continue to pray for you both!” Same here. Perhaps Lauren and Josiah can take solace in knowing that the following stars have sadly also suffered through a miscarriage: View Slideshow: 33 Stars Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage

Source: Nick Laham / Getty Welp, KG filed his response on Monday, where he is asking for joint legal and physical custody of the kids. He is also asked court to terminate spousal support for Brandi.
