Kate Middleton and Prince William Lose Housekeeper Over Excessive Demands: "They Will Regret" It, Source Says

Kate Middleton may not be perfect after all. This is a stunning declaration to make, and it may prove to be untrue. But a couple of recent stories are making us question the unparalleled awesomeness of the Duchess of Cambridge for the first time in history. Last week, Middleton came under fire after photos emerged of her three-year old son, George, standing and looking out the window of a moving car. He wasn’t wearing his seatbelt and the Internet went OFF on Middleton in response. It’s worth noting that the car was on a private road at the time, with no other vehicles in the vicinity… but still. Everyone should wear his or her seatbelt at all times. Especially toddlers. It’s not as though one-car accidents don’t exist, right? Elsewhere, Middleton was even criticized for her behavior at Pippa Middleton’s wedding to James Matthews on May 20. Many of the pictures that surfaced online featured Kate with an annoyed or angry look on her face, disciplining her young kids instead of just allowing them to have fun. “Kate didn’t have the time or the patience for his shenanigans,” one witness said of Middleton and George. Somewhere, every mother of a toddler is shaking her head over the gall of anyone to make this critique. But this brings us to the latest Kate Middleton scandal, one that also involves her handsome husband, Prince William. According to The Sun, the beloved couple just lost one of their top employees after housekeeper Sadie Rice decided that Kate and William were asking too much of her. An insider tells the British newspaper that Rice was making $35,000 pounds per year (about $45,000 dollars), yet chose to leave both this paycheck and the Royal Twosome behind due to excessive demands on her time. The issue stems from Kate and William’s planned move to Kensington Palace. They had been spending about two-thirds of their time at Anmer Hall, but will will relocate on a full-time basis to Kensington after William leaves his air ambulance job this fall. “They wanted her to spend more time at Kensington Palace and her work was increasing all the time,” The Sun writes of William, Kate and Sadie , explaining in further detail: “Sadie’s a hard worker but the job’s demands got too much, even for her… “She wasn’t having a normal life outside work. Sadie’s serving her notice and it seems nothing will change her mind. It’s their loss.” This same source describes the situation as a major blow to the famous family, considering how much two-year old Charlotte and little George had grown to love Sadie. Rice was reportedly responsible for cleaning, laundry, shopping and cooking during her tenure as a housekeeper and occasional nanny. In 2015, Kate lured Sadie away from Norway’s Prince Haakon and wife Mette-Marit in Oslo, where she had spent the previous five years doing similar tasks and chores. Prior to that stint, she served as a Buckingham Palace maid and was well liked by the Queen. William and his lovely wife have been hiring more staff member as they prepare to move to London and step up their Royal duties. But they may have trouble replacing someone such as Sadie. “They will regret losing Sadie, as the right people aren’t easy to find,” concludes this The Sun report. Is the shine finally coming off this popular couple? Are we at last seeing a few chinks in their pristine armor? Or must we realize that no one is, in actuality, perfect… yet Kate Middleton still comes as close to this ideal as anyone conceivably could? Anything is possible, we suppose.

The End Of Frack?? Phaedra Parks Reportedly FIRED From Real Housewives Of Atlanta

Phaedra Parks Fired From RHOA It’s a wrap for Phaedra Parks ! As a source exclusively revealed to Love B. Scott , Phaedra was very unceremoniously skipped when it came time for the housewives to get their renewal papers. And the main reason should come as a shock to absolutely no one: “Everyone was given their renewal papers last week and Phaedra didn’t get hers. She got caught in so many treacherous lies this season that even the producers (including Andy Cohen) have had enough. She even brought ‘fake’ divorce papers to the reunion to prove a point. No one knows whether she’s telling the truth about anything anymore.” WELP…all that posturing and posing fans have noted that she does on the show has come back to bite her. When even production id fed up with your foolery…it’s a lot. Besides, rumor has it that her bag of lies not only got Porsha wrapped up in unnecessary issues with Kandi, but even may have gotten a show producer axed. Apparently when all signs pointed to Phaedra being the source of the Kandi lesbian/sex dungeon/rape rumors…she put the blame on RHOA exec Carlos King. Sources believe this is a major reason why he also won’t be returning to the show next season. Whoooo, this Reunion must be bombshell city if all this stuff is happening in the aftermath!

Meghan Markle: BANNED From Pippa Middleton’s Wedding?!

Some claim that when Kate Middleton married Prince William  back in 2011, Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, received more press coverage than the bride. Obviously, that’s an exaggeration, but Pippa  did receive a lot of attention that day for reasons that still aren’t entirely clear. We guess it had something to do with Pippa’s butt and the fact that it’s apparently big by British standards. We imagine the average Englishman pops his monocle and faints dead away if you show him a picture of Kim Kardashian. Anyway, for whatever reason, many believe that Pippa stole the show from her royal sister, and now it seems Pippa is doing everything she can to avoid a similar fate on her own wedding day. Pippa will marry hedge fund manager James Matthews in May, and it was initially reported that her wedding would serve as a venue for the first official appearance of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle . Now, however, sources close to Pippa say she’s instituted a policy to ensure that she won’t be upstaged at her own wedding. Since arguing with the bride-to-be in the weeks leading up to a wedding can result in instant death-by-eye-gouging, Pippa could have simply said she doesn’t want to see anyone who’s name starts with “M” and ends with “-eghan Markle” at the ceremony. Instead, she kept up appearances by issuing a broader rule: Tipsters claim Pippa has announced a strict “no ring, no bring” policy, according to which, no guests will be permitted a plus one unless their married or engaged. Hilariously, it would also mean that her fiance’s brother, Spencer Matthews, would not be permitted to bring his model girlfriend, Vogue Williams. Apparently, that’s just fine by Pippa, as Williams is a somewhat of a celebrity in the UK, thanks to her role on the reality show Made in Chelsea . So Williams is a potential spotlight-stealer, too, but sources say she’s a collateral damage bonus kill for Pippa, who mainly has her sights set on Meghan. Of course, this whole thing could end up backfiring on Meghan. There are already rumors that Harry and Meghan are engaged , and even if that’s not the case, Harry still has a few weeks left to pop the question. Imagine the scenario: Harry shows up with Meghan; Pippa approaches to give her the boot; Meghan flashes a ring, and says something badass like, ” Butt out, Pippa.” Ryan Murphy would have a Pips vs. Meg miniseries ready to go the next day.

Kate Middleton: Why is She Pissed at Prince William?

Typically, the Kate Middleton rumor mill churns with talk of her and Prince William taking a trip to Pound Town. In other (less confusing and lewd) words, most chatter surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge has to do with her womb and when she’ll next get pregnant . But sources now tell Vanity Fair that Middleton is upset at her handsome husband for a different kind of trip; one that involved cold, wet snow, not red hot banging. Earlier this week, the Royal Family became the subject of a few negative headlines after William had perhaps a bit too much fun with friends at a nightclub in Switzerland. He was at the establishment as part of a ski vacation with his friends. Multiple outlets reported on the singing and “dad dancing” that was included in the break Williams took with close pals Guy Pelly, Tom van Straubenzee and James Meade. (Are those not the most British names you’ve ever read in your entire life?!?) Likely as a result of a headache and/or extreme fatigue, the Duke of Cambridge was noticeably absent from Monday’s Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, Britain’s largest interfaith gathering attended by many members of his famous family. And an insider claims that the most important person in William’s immediate family was “disappointed” with her husband’s behavior. “It was William’s choice to go away, but make no mistake Kate wears the trousers in their marriage, and she won’t be happy with William’s antics,” a source tells the aforementioned publication, adding: “She thought his partying days and larking around with the boys was a thing of the past. I imagine she’ll find this humiliating and William will have come in for a pasting .” (Are those not the most British words you’ve ever read in your entire life?!?) To be clear, this was solely a guys’ trip. Cameras did capture a few females hanging out in William’s presence, but there’s no concern that he acted inappropriately with anyone of the opposite sex. According to The Sun newspaper/tabloid, the Prince and his friends spent last Sunday night dancing to the band Hussy and looked “very worse for wear” after downing “several drinks.” Footage of this behavior, which went public in Great Britain on Wednesday in numerous tabloids, has left Middleto “less than pleased,” Vanity Fair writes. Later today, William and Kate are expected to step foot in Paris, as the future king makes his first official visit to the city since Princess Diana passed. It marks yet another major occasion for the couple and the family they represent. The two-day trip is expected to strengthen relations between France and a post-Brexit Britain – and all eyes will clearly be on William’s eyes on Friday and Saturday. Will they be bloodshot? Will he be back on his game? If not, the public may continue to turn on William and Kate , leaving us wondering about the future of their marriage, as opposed any future addition to their adorable brood.

Kate Middleton Weight Loss Sparks Concern, Speculation

Kate Middleton has been criticized for her figure over the years, many times for no reason and often to the point of uncalled for speculation. Could she be suffering from a dangerous condition, however? According to the National Enquirer (we know), the Duchess of Cambridge is hiding shocking secret no one could’ve ever seen coming: A secret battle with bulimia that is taking its toll on her health. Prince William’s wife has reportedly dropped to a scary 89 pounds (even scarier considering she’s 5’9″) if this report is to be believed. The ” secret battle ,” as it’s called, has left the family heartbroken, with a bandage on her finger of all things allegedly proving it’s true. How is that possible, and what is she doing to turn it around? We’re going to ahead and say it’s not possible – some women are just naturally thin, and you can’t turn around a problem that doesn’t exist. It’s not like we haven’t heard it all before, either. Many times. Just last fall, Life & Style published a cover story that claimed  Kate Middleton is pregnant , but with a similar health crisis twist to boot: She’s a gaunt 90 pounds while expecting royal baby #3. “Despite her shockingly thin appearance, Kate Middleton can’t hide her joy at welcoming a third child with Prince William,” reads the article. “The 34-year-old is expecting baby No. 3 .” Yes, this was a real story published in September so it obviously wasn’t true that “Kate has told her family about the pregnancy.” Nor should we believe that people close to Middleton have “expressed concern” about her slender frame in recent months … or ever. Yes, Kate is “super slender,” the magazine writes. That is literally the case, but that’s where the real facts end and – shout out to Kellyanne Conway ! – the alternative ones begin in a hurry. In that case, a so-called “medical expert” who has never met Kate claimed that “she’s about 90 pounds” and said William is very concerned. He supposedly “called in top medical experts.” Why? Because the heir to the British throne and father of two feels like his beautiful wife “is all skin and bones and has no energy.” She has been called the laziest royal in history , but that has nothing to do with her weight and everything to do with her lifestyle choices. View Slideshow: William and Kate: 18 Times The Tabloids Got It Wrong Kate has chosen to be a mother above all else, and to keep her family “normal” and out of the public eye as much as she possibly can. Bottom line: You can’t believe everything you read these days. Especially not when it comes to Kate’s weight and the reasons behind it, or the status of her womb, which is very likely vacant right now. A good tabloid headline does not a fact-based article make.

Alec Baldwin Jokes About Carrie Fisher Death, Draws Internet Ire

Like so many celebrities before him, Alec Baldwin has written a Tweet about Carrie Fisher’s death . Unlike so many celebrities before him, however, Baldwin used this sad occasion to take a swipe at Donald Trump. Baldwin and the President-Elect, of course, have been engaged in a pretty serious (that is, ridiculous) social media battle ever since the actor started to play the racist bully on Saturday Night Live. Which is all good and fine and entertaining and everything. But Baldwin may have taken his disdain for the impending Commander-in-Chief a bit too far when he incorporated his hatred for Trump into a Tweet about Fisher. Wait… what?!? How did he manage to pull that off? “Death comes in threes,” Baldwin Tweeted, jokingly adding: “Carrie Fisher George Michael The integrity of the Oval Office.” Ummm…. zing, we guess? LOL… to some? Not to others, however, who felt as though Baldwin showed major disrespect to Fisher by using her passing as a chance to once again lay into Trump. “SUCH bad taste,” wrote one Internet user, while another said: “Another idiot that had to politicize someones death instead of just saying R.I.P. Carrie! I guess that’s too much to ask!” Other criticisms included the following: – “2 human beings lost their lives. Why make it political. Tacky and tasteless!” – “Pretty tacky that you linked their deaths to politics. BTW, the integrity of the Oval Office was lost 8 years ago.” Baldwin worked with Fisher on an episode of 30 Rock. No one doubts that he meant little harm with his Tweet. But he still should have known better. Or he should have at least come up with better material. A joke about Donald Trump being an unfit President is not exactly new, or particularly hilarious. If you’re going to dip your foot in controversial waters, you’ve gotta make sure you’re being funny. Last month, Lisa Edelstein came under fire for a similar joke. She quipped that Alan Thicke died to avoid Trump’s presidency, writing of the actor’s death: “RIP Alan Thicke. Seems like everyone is checking out before the Trumpacolypse.” Elsewhere across Hollywood, more proper condolences have been pouring in regard to Fisher. “Yesterday was a horrible day. Carrie was a special, wonderful girl. It’s too soon,” wrote her ex-husband, Paul Simon. Added former co-star Harrison Ford: “Carrie was one-of-a-kind…brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely…My thoughts are with her daughter Billie, her mother Debbie, her brother Todd, and her many friends. We will all miss her.” View Slideshow: Carrie Fisher: Mourned, Honored by Hollywood And George Lucas: “Carrie and I have been friends most of our adult lives. She was extremely smart; a talented actress, writer and comedienne with a very colorful personality that everyone loved. “In Star Wars she was our great and powerful princess—feisty, wise and full of hope in a role that was more difficult than most people might think. My heart and prayers are with Billie, Debbie and all Carrie’s family, friends and fans.” And, finally, Fisher’s famous mother, Debbie Reynolds: “Thank you to everyone who has embraced the gifts and talents of my beloved and amazing daughter. “I am grateful for your thoughts and prayers that are now guiding her to her next stop.” The Hollywood Gossip continues to send our thoughts and prayers to Fisher’s family, friends and loved ones.

Leonardo DiCaprio: Cheating on Nina Agdal With Paige Watkins?!

Leonardo DiCaprio has been inside more models than every rolled up dollar bill on the planet combined, but to his credit, the guy is more serial monogamist than heartless womanizer. Though he often trades the women in his life in for newer models in the most literal sense, it seems the splits are usually amicable and Leo’s exes never seem to have anything bad to say about their time with Hollywood’s most notorious playboy. That may be about to change, however, thanks to a rumor about Leo stepping out behind the back of his current girlfriend, Nina Agdal. DiCaprio and Agdal have been dating since July, and were recently rumored to be getting serious. But it seems DiCaprio’s been having some difficulty putting his ladies’ man ways behind him, as sources are telling Page Six that he was recently spotted hooking up a model (of course) named Paige Watkins while Agdal was out of town. Witnesses say DiCaprio and Watkins were spotted slyly hooking up at 1Oak in LA, where Leo was partying in the VIP with his reunited “wolf pack,” which includes fellow actors Lukas Haas and the recently-divorced Toby Maguire . “They looked pretty close,” one onlooker says. “She was sitting on his lap, and they appeared to be kissing.” Insiders say Nina was out of the country for the holidays, and Leo appears to have taken advantage of the window of opportunity presented by her absence. Paige is a slender, blonde, twenty-something model, which makes this story 100% believable, but sources for both parties claim it’s a complete fabrication: “There is no confirmation that they are a couple nor were they holding hands,” says a rep for Watkins’ modeling agency. “They are definitely not a couple.”  A spokesperson for Leo issued a similar denial, saying: “This story is totally false and completely made up by people claiming to be sources.” Even a PR representative for 1Oak got Leo’s back, telling Page Six: “It’s not true, he was there with all of his boys for a holiday party.” Is it just us, or all these denials making Leo look even more guilty. His best defense would be to claim that he was just behaving on instinct: “I saw a blonde model, so I started making out with her. At this point, it’s basically an involuntary function.” There’s literally not a thing you can say to argue against that.

Kate Middleton: Is She the LAZIEST Royal Ever?!

Kate Middleton is unquestionably one of the most beloved and obsessed-over royals in recent history. But most of the press coverage centering around the Duchess of Cambridge focuses on her style, her charm, and her home life. Obviously, that’s been the case with most of her predecessors, as well, but there are those who feel that the role of royals in the 21st Century should be to serve as their nation’s most high-profile philanthropists. Many also feel that in that respect, Kate simply isn’t doing enough. Is it Kate’s fault that the media chooses to focus so much on her appearance? Certainly not, and there may be little she can do to change that. However, a common criticism these days is that Kate is little to shift the public’s attention to more important matters, and now there are numbers to support that argument. The royals are intensely scrutinized by the British media, as probably should be the case with a group of people whose lavish lifestyle is supported by taxpayers. As a result, media outlets in the UK compile an annual list of how much actual work (humanitarian campaigns, royal tours and engagements, etc.) each member of the royal family puts in each year. As 2016 comes to a close, many are expressing astonishment over the fact that, according to the Daily Mail, Kate only worked a total of 63 days. For comparison, her husband, Prince William, worked 80 days, while his brother, Prince Harry, worked 86 days. Princess Anne was once again the busiest royal, putting in 179 days of work. Prince Charles worked 139 days, the Earl of Wessex worked 118 days and the Duke of York worked 112 days, all of them trouncing Kate by a considerable margin. Other media outlets chose to report the royal workload in terms of the number of engagements undertaken by the members of the Windsor-Mountbatten clan, and those numbers tell a very similar story: Kate carried out 115 engagements, while he husband notched 204, and her brother-in-law tallied 166. Here again, Princess Anne has offered a master class in work ethic, carrying out more than 500 engagements in 2016, despite battling a bad illness in September. 90-year-old Queen Elizabeth  undertook 385 engagements, while her husband, Prince Philip, carried out 336. It’s worth noting, of course, that Kate is a mother of two, and she was on maternity leave for the first months of 2016 . However, it’s also worth pointing out that this is the sixth year in a row that she’s been determined to be the least busy member of the royal family. View Slideshow: Kate Middleton: 15 Photos of Iconic Hair Porn There may be a perfectly good reason for why Kate participates in far fewer engagements than the rest of the royals. But as long as that reason remains a secret, reports like this will likely lead to further rumors about Kate feuding with the Queen and the rest of her in-laws.
