Congratulations are in order for Samantha Markle. Despite her expected rude comments in the wake of her half-sister and Prince Harry welcoming a son named Archie into the world on Monday… this bitter waste of television air time is no longer responsible for the most insensitive reaction to the arrival of the Royal Baby. Indeed, that dishonor has firmly been claimed instead by BBC host Danny Baker. A veteran broadcaster in Great Britain, the 61-year old reacted to Markle and Harry debuting their precious newborn to the world yesterday by… … Tweeting a photo of a chimp in a suit holding hands with a smartly dressed couple and writing as a caption; “Royal baby leaves hospital.” The snapshot, naturally, sparked immediate outrage due to the clear racist undertones against Markle, whose mother, Doria Ragland, is African American. Faced with this strongly deserved backlash, Baker deleted the message and said he was sorry the “gag” had “whipped some up.” He then claimed the negative connotations had not occurred to him because his “mind (is) not diseased,” taking the impressively bold approach of accusing critics of racism for pointing out his racism. In a second message, Baker said that the tweet was “supposed to be a joke about Royals vs circus animals in posh clothes but interpreted as about monkeys & race, so rightly deleted. Royal watching not my forte.” On Thursday, the broadcaster said he made an “enormous mistake.” But it was far too late to save his job. “This was a serious error of judgment and goes against the values we as a station aim to embody,” said a BBC spokesperson yesterday, adding: “Danny’s a brilliant broadcaster but will no longer be presenting a weekly show with us.” As you can see above, Baker tried to save face by appealing directly to Meghanm, Harry and their son, writing online: Would have used same stupid pic for any other Royal birth or Boris Johnson kid or even one of my own. It’s a funny image. (Though not of course in that context.) Enormous mistake, for sure. Grotesque. Anyway, here’s to ya Archie, Sorry mate. But then he also referred to his firing as a “masterclass of pompous faux-gravity” and slammed the network for taking this course of action by Tweeting: “Took a tone that said I actually meant that ridiculous tweet and the BBC must uphold blah blah blah,” he added. “Literally threw me under the bus. Could hear the suits knees knocking. #Fuckem. Ever since the announcement of her pregnancy, Markle has been a target of racist abuse across social media. In March, the Kensington Palace staff announced it would devote a bevy of resources to deleting comments targeting the Duchess of Sussex, and also to blocking abusive Twitter and Instagram accounts. Moreover, the Royal household issued a set of guidelines for people engaging with its social media channels. It’s all very disturbing, but we’re gonna choose to focus on the positive here instead — which is that Archie has arrived! “Mother and baby are doing incredibly well,” Harry said in his first public comments since becoming a father, adding in lovable fashion “This has been the most amazing experience I could possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension.” Amen, Prince. View Slideshow: Royal Baby Photos: Who Wore Their Blanket Best?
Over in Great Britain this week, residents are fixated on Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and their brand new son, Archie. Plenty of tea, crumpets and Yorkshire pudding are being devoured in celebration. Across the ocean, however, the eyes of a different nation are turned to the womb of a different woman and the potential that she, too, will give birth somewhere down the line. Which is a very drawn-out way of asking: IS JILL DUGGAR PREGNANT? This question has been asked before, of course. Just this past February, fans were convinced that Duggar was expecting baby number-three … and it’s possible they were correct. It’s possible she had recently gotten knocked up by husband Derick Dillard, yet hadn’t announced it yet. As for why Internet users strongly believe that Jill will, indeed, confirm some big news in the very near future? It all comes down to this photo: The image was shared by Anna Duggar a few days ago and it seemed to tease at least one upcoming Duggar pregnancy announcement was on tap. “#Throwback to when Jill, Joy & I were pregnant together!” wrote Anna as a caption to this old picture, adding on Instagram: “Currently, there are 4 Duggar sisters/sisters-in-law that have shared expectant baby news! I wonder how many more new cousins will be announced before our little one arrives?!?!” She then added the hashtag #littleduggars . Naturally, such a tease had everyone buzzing — especially over the inclusion of Jill in this throwback photo. Why? Because Anna and Joy actually are pregnant right now! They’ve already alerted the universe to this blessed fact. Therefore, many folks around the Twitter are wondering, why would Anna have added Jill to this memorable snapshot, and also written such an intriguing caption… unless she was also with child?!? “Way to not-so-subtly imply that there are others who have fallen pregnant but are just waiting to announce,” wrote one Instagram user in response to Anna’s post, echoing our sentiment exactly. Along with Anna and Joy, Kendra and Amy Duggar are also ALL pregnant, which really is pretty extreme… even for the Duggars. Jill, meanwhile, is the mother to a son named Samuel and another named Israel. Because she had this last name, we have to assume she’ll welcome at least one or seven more kids before all is said and done. However, husband Derick is currently in law school. It would be challenging for him to continue with his studies and help out with an additonal child at home. Moreover, Jill went through a pair of notoriously difficult births that resulted in C-sections. Hence all the chatter over whether she and Derick might adopt their third baby at some point. All we can say for certain right now is that more Duggars will keep getting pregnant, Jill could be next — and that The Hollywood Gossip is your destination for the latest and greatest Duggar news!

Unfortunately, vicious trolls seem to enjoy taunting Hailey Baldwin about Selena Gomez’s storied history with Justin Bieber. Hailey and the Biebs are married, but this week, they went out in public and did not look like a happy couple. A new report can explain the conflict and its all-too-familiar source. Is this the end of their nascent marriage? On Wednesday, May 8, Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Baldwin, were spotted walking out and about in New York. That’s no real shock. Justin has been in treatment for his mental health, and has reportedly been doing so in the Big Apple. What people found shocking was that something seemed to be majorly off between the married couple. In contrast to their PDA-filled walks around London, it looked like Justin was keeping his distance from his own wife. WTH?! RadarOnline reports that this can all be explained, because Justin is currently distracted by thoughts of another woman: Selena Gomez. “Justin and Selena are in contact from time to time,” an insider, who is allegedly close to Selena, reports. The source explains that this is “because they have both gone through really dark periods this past year.” Selena’s health battle has been ongoing and brutal, and Justin has been fighting for his own mental wellbeing. The insider adds that the two endured crises “at almost the same time.” According to the report, this alleged love triangle has spilled over into the public appearances that the stars choose to make. “Selena avoided the Met gala,” the source observes. Meanwhile, Hailey showed up without Bieber. The insider says that this is “because she thinks that Hailey is a phase that Justin is going through.” “And,” the source grimly notes. “Hailey knows this.” That’s a great reminder that, last year, Hailey attended with Shawn Mendes. This year, she attended as a married woman. Wild. It was only about a month and a half ago when Justin Bieber admitted that he’ll always love Selena . “Justin recently said that he still loved Selena,” the insider points out. Apparently, this did not go over well on the marital front. Hailey of course heard “and Hailey lost it,” the reports claims. It doesn’t help that many considered Justin going back to Hailey a rebound after his rekindled romance with Selena fizzled out. “Selena knows that Justin loves her,” the source affirms. Thankfully, there’s some good news. The insider continues: “but she has moved on with her life.” Those of us who didn’t love seeing one of the world’s most talented singers play babysitter to a talented by troubled young man can breathe a sigh of relief. “And,” the report notes, Selena “has started dating again.” RadarOnline also spoke to a “body language expert,” which is a great career to take up since phrenology fell out of style. The thing that makes body language experts so convincing is that they combine common sense with imagination to paint a compelling picture. Based upon all of the sightings of the Biebs and Hailey, he did seem like he was lost in his own little world. (We obviously don’t have an issue with experts, but there are very specific “fields” of expertice that are given more credence than they deserve) Now, we have to emphasize that nothing in this report — nothing about Justin’s issues being linked to Selena — are confirmed. If they are in touch, we’re sure that Selena has zero desire to harm that marriage or to start things up with the Biebs again.

Romee Strijd is pretty much the hottest of the Victoria’s Secret model slaves they’ve human trafficked from other countries for celebrities and rich guys to have sex with….you know girls that are brought in by the American company that is hardly American….considering they do all their manufacturing overseas, all their promo models are not from America, and the owner probably has all kinds of tax shelters to protect his money set up, but he does pay rent at a lot of American malls, and he does employ a lot of American minimum wagers, but the real money is going to other countries cuz it makes the most sense….I guess…I’m not a business school grad…what do I know…other than that they know how to pick some good quality pussy…not that it is that hard…it’s like “do you want to work for a brand in America that you know…cuz it is international…and cuz their models are famous…we’ll also pay you 1,000,000 dollars USD which is like 5,000,000 in your country….tough sell…girls DREAM of this shit….and here she is in a bikini for fun, cuz fuck it…she gets paid to do this, why not hand out a few for free…or at least to build her social media as she gets performance bonuses for that….

The Vanessa Hudgens fat years are over for now…she’s got a hot fit body, and a set of tits on her that she didn’t have when she was 17 and released her first set of nudes the internet went nuts over…because they were one of the first set of nude selfies to ever be leaked by a celebrity….in an era when smart phones were still rare and girls weren’t out there showing their hairy twats I loved seeing because I fucking love bush…especially back then when bush was being slaughtered and killed on every city corner with WAXING places…not that Vanessa Hudgens had much choice in her bush, she’s part Monkey and that shit grown back in a few hours like Fred Flinstone’s beard….

Kate Middleton has broken her silence on the latest Royal Baby. And one could read a whole lot into her take on the newborn – or, more specifically, the newborn’s mother – if one really wanted to do so. A day after Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed a son into the world, Middleton spoke briefly to reporters about the very young man who is now seventh in line for the British throne. “It’s really exciting for both of them,” she told reporters on Tuesday, before maybe growing a little passive aggressive and adding: “These next few weeks, it’s always very daunting first time around so wish them all the best. You caught that, right? Yes, Middleton is sending her best wishes to her brother-in-law and his polarizing wife. But she’s also subtly reminding them that she already has three kids and she knows all about this parenthood thing and, hey, it can be a bit difficult… just in case they weren’t already aware of this fact. Middleton added that she knows all about having kids in the spring (Prince Louis was born last year on April 23, while Princess Charlotte celebrated her fourth birthday on May 2), once again making a point to emphasize her authority on this topic. “It’s such a special time – with Louis and Charlotte just having had their birthdays. It’s such a great time of the year to have a baby,” she said. “Spring’s in the air, so it’s really great. As William said, look forward to meeting him and finding out what his name’s going to be.” Wait, was that another shot? Did she just accuse Markle of dragging her feet by not having yet come up with a name for her son? Maybe not, we guess. Perhaps we’re reading a little too much into that line. But it’s hard not to when there’s been chatter for so long over Markle and Middleon, as various outlets have alleged for months that the two Royals simply do not get along. Are the rumors of a Middleton-Markle feud totally made up? Or is there really bad blood here? Might Kate to and quickly get pregnant in order to steal the attention away from Markle again? It seems unlikely, but you never really know. In the wake of Meghan giving birth, Prince William and his wife did issue a formal announcement as well. Read a message last night on the official Kensington Palace Instagram account: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted with the news of the birth of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s son today, and look forward to meeting the latest addition to the family.” That’s very sweet. Even if some critics don’t think it’s very sincere. Elsewhere, while Markle remains quiet and in recovery, enjoying time with her precious son, Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, have now released a statement of their own. “We couldn’t be more delighted at the news and we’re looking forward to meeting the baby when we return,” they said via the official Clarence House Twitter account. Prince William, finally, had some fun at his sibling’s expense when speaking to press at a King’s Cup Regatta event in London on Tuesday. He said he is “absolutely thrilled and looking forward to seeing” his nephew in the near future, adding that is “very pleased and glad to welcome my brother to the sleep deprivation society that is parenting.” We can only hope that Harry and Meghan caught up on their ZZZZZs prior to becoming parents for the first time.

Jennifer Aniston’s got a long list of ex-lovers. No doubt. It’s not necessarily a bad thing — because her exes are extremely supportive and she’s even friends with most of them to this day. But she’s currently got a major blank space and she just informed us that she’s not opposed to writing a new name! (Sorry for quoting Taylor Swift it just felt really necessary.) In Jen’s recent cover story for the June/July issue of Harper’s Bazaar , she was interviewed by her longtime friend, comedian Tig Notaro, about all things fame, aging and ( omg ) dating! The Mystery Murder actress explains that she is not looking for love, however, she is very open to welcoming it if it comes her way. And we’re talking about Jennifer Aniston here — so we’re more than 100% sure it will. She also revealed that she doesn’t believe in a single soul mate — she believes in many! “I think we have many soul mates. I don’t think there’s one and one only. I think we have soul clusters,” she said. “I’ve had some of my friends for 35 years. I think we’ve all made some sort of unconscious agreement. It’s like when certain groups of people meet, they form a little soul cluster — a sort of common group of souls who have been put together.” She’s definitely referencing her Friends co-stars here, right?! Jen has been married twice before — to Brad Pitt from 2000-20005, and to Justin Theroux from 2015-2017 . And while her split from Justin is her most recent she admits that she is not scarred nor “tired of love.” “Am I on OkCupid? No. I have zero time, to be honest. My focus has been on the show, so dating has not been one of my first priorities,” she said. “I feel like whatever [romance] looks like, it will present itself, and it’s not about seeking it out, you know?” “When it comes knocking, it’s going to be welcomed,” she continued. “I’m not like, ‘No, I’m done with that. That’s never going to happen again.’ My time on this planet has been about… It hasn’t looked a certain way. It’s my way; it’s what I’ve been given this round.” “But I would say I don’t find any of my past has given me a reason to harden up and create a shell or a wall of ‘No more, that’s it, I’m closed.'” And when it comes to what she is looking for in her next bachelor? Someone with a good “sense of humor. Strong sense of self-worth, confidence, kindness, generosity. Good people surrounding them,” she explains. For the cover story, the actress posed topless and opened up about why she had absolutely no problem doing so. “There was a version of an outfit that we did without a top, but I’m covering my breasticles. There’s nothing offensive out there for anyone unless they think breasts themselves are offensive,” she said. “It felt completely normal. I think our bodies are beautiful, and I think celebrating them and being comfortable in them — no matter what age you are — is important. “There shouldn’t be any kind of shame or discomfort around it,” Aniston added. Besides, she says, “My body feels better than ever.” Although she admits, “I can’t really spring up like I used to.” Aniston also provides some tips to her fans who wonder whether or not they should ask to get a quick photo with her. And basically — unless you’re a child, do not ask. “I try to have a rule: I only take photos with kids,” she disclosed. “It was a hard boundary for me to create because people get really pissed off at you. But you have to have limits. Otherwise, you’ll just be standing there doing selfies on a corner for decades.” Jen isn’t big into taking photos anyway — we assume, considering her non-existent Instagram account. Who does she think she is?! But her logic behind refusing to join the most popular social media platform is totally understandable and ( sadly ) pretty dead-on. “When anyone ever says, ‘You’re not on Instagram, but you know you’re going to have to join it,’ I’m like, ‘But do I?'” she rants. “Do you know what it’s like to sit in a room and watch someone struggle to put a post up, and then you’re like, ‘I think we’ve lost 45 minutes of our time together while you sat there and stared at a phone and tried to figure out what funny caption or what picture would be interesting.'” “Really? For someone out there to go, ‘You know what? I don’t like it,'” she states proudly. At one point in the interview, Tig recalled a meeting she was at with Jen in which the actress spotted a pile of gossip magazines in the waiting room and threw them in the trash can, according to Too Fab . “There I would be on the cover, cradling my soon-to-be-born fictional child,” she joked. “I do that in every room I go into, by the way. Every doctor’s office… I used to go to newsstands too.” And as for Brad Pitt and the public’s fascination of the two getting back together — well, people should just trash that as well. Entertainment Tonight shared a video of Pitt recently being questioned by a photographer as the actor walked to his car in Los Angeles. “I gotta ask you, everyone wants to know, are you and Jen getting back?” the photog asked. Pitt’s response was simply, “Oh my god,” followed by laughter. It’s been fourteen years since the two called off their marriage, yet they can’t seem to escape their reconciliation rumors. Brad and Jen have also been a huge topic of interest ever since he showed up to her 50th birthday bash , though close soures claim that “they’ve come so far since their marriage and plan to stay friends for life.” And even though he didn’t completely deny their dating rumors — it seems they’re both ready for us to move on. Well, there’s that. ( sighs ) View Slideshow: Angelina Jolie-Brad Pitt Divorce: Jennifer Aniston Reacts!
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta takes a page straight out of Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married . We start with the crew headed to a cabin in the woods for Kirk and Rasheeda’s couples trip. Guests include, BK and Sierra, Scrappy and Bambi, Joc and Kendra, and Karlie Redd decide to be Shekinah’s plus one because what would a couples trip be without the random singles attached for drama and comic relief, right? Anyway, Karlie’s engagement is still “off,” so she and Shekinah are the single girls on the trip. The group splits up into two buses, one with men, one with women and this is where the drama starts. At some point, Karlie mentions to Kendra that she and Joc had some touchy, feely, kissy moments last year. She added that they got a hotel room last year and “his peen was out” (no mention of how it got out or why it was out and why they got a hotel room) and he begged her to have sex but she said no. Mind you, Kendra and Joc are supposed to have been together for three years or something like that, and apparently, Joc lied about what he and Karlie had going on. Meanwhile, on the guys’ bus, BK says he’s getting Sierra a ring made. Then on the girls’ bus Sierra says that she and BK are in a good place but of course, Karlie does the carrier pigeon thing again. She tells Sierra that “she doesn’t want to rain on her parade” but then rains on her parade by talking about how she got a text from Pooh claiming that BK sent some inappropriate text messages to her while they were on a group trip to Cancun. So now Sierra is irritated. But why was Pooh texting Karlie if they don’t even like each other? Sierra actually does confront BK on this trip about what Karlie Redd told her. BK denied the context of the convo (it was innocent and actually about his relationship with Sierra) and apologized to Sierra but she remained fake mad. Now, let’s fast forward a bit. We’re at a point on the trip where Karlie is practicing for her sex coach studies by giving the group a makeshift workshop by doing a demo of some toys. Kirk stirs the pot by asking her to demo the thing, you know, thee sex position that Joc was raving about on the radio not long ago. That’s enough to set Kendra off. She pulls Joc aside for a private convo to bring up what Karlie told her. Joc says it’s not true, apologizes, and says that he got Kendra’s name tatted on his peen so if Karlie had really seen it within the past year then she would have seen that. That seems to be enough for Kendra for now, kinda sorta, but later on it comes back up again. She brings it up to Bambi, who actually gives her some good advice. Basically, Kendra and Joc need to get on the same page or Kendra needs to leave if that’s what she feels she needs to do. Later on, Karlie’s ex-fiance, Mo, shows up to the retreat and tries to win her back. He states his about how he’s wrong for withholding information from her but doubles down on the fact that he didn’t know about the baby and that he messed with the woman before her. Karlie puts on a show and starts giving us theatrics about how he betrayed her trust and that she’s tired of how he doesn’t support her or her career…it’s so extra. This is the same man that just a few weeks ago she was trying to convince us that he was the one and how he was different from the others, for real, for real, so when did he stop being supportive? Anyway, this doesn’t go well and Mo decides to bounce. Smart man. Next, we find the rest of the couples back in the cabin with Rasheeda and Kirk playing counselors. They want to try to tackle some of the dysfunction by giving the couples wisdom about how to communicate and encouraging them to work on themselves and not let outside forces [*cough] messy birds like Karlie [*cough] split them up. Karlie, who isn’t with the couples right now, has been cited as the source of a lot of the drama on the trip. Duh! But anyway, Rasheeda even opens up and says that she has also been guilty of infidelity in her relationship with Kirk. We don’t learn what exactly happened on Rasheeda’s part other than that “her situation was a very long time ago, early in her and Kirk’s relationship.” Everyone is shocked and Kirk is sitting there with a smug look on his face. I guess this is supposed to be Rasheeda trying to keep Kirk from looking like the bad guy. But anyway, no thanks for the marriage advice. Or am I bugging? Do you want marriage advice from Rasheeda and Kirk? Next, Sierra, who is constantly irritated with BK for being shady, to admit that she “did something” with some guy who slid in her DM’s that he questioned her about after searching her phone. She does this because “wants to keep it real.” She apologizes and we end on that note.

Even though Wilson eventually becomes Captain America in the comic books, Mackie says that he still didn’t expect the transition to happen on-screen–he wasn’t even aware of his own future until his co-star Chris Evans informed him. “We were at his house and he goes, ‘You excited?’ And I go, ‘What you talking about? And he goes, ‘You don’t know?’ He jumps up, runs out of the room and comes back in with the script. He’s like, ‘Read it!’” Mackie continued, “And I read the scene, and I’m like, ‘Whoa,’…We cried. We drank. We laughed. I am very happy I got that moment with Chris, for him to not only pass me the shield, but to tell me it was happening.” Hear the full story and more from Anthony Mackie below:
