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.

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

Jill Duggar: Is She Even Qualified to Homeschool Her Kids?!

Jill Duggar has been in the spotlight quite a bit these past two weeks. And it’s all pretty impressive, especially when you consider that she hasn’t shot a scene for her family’s reality show in over a year. Much of the controversy has had to do with Jill’s seemingly troubled marriage. The scrutiny started with rumors of Derick Dillard cheating on Jill last year. They intensified when the couple seemed to distance themselves from one another on social media and when they spent no time with her family over the holiday season. In her own indirect way, Jill has addressed the divorce rumors , and it seems that for the time being at least, she and Derick are not going their separate ways. Of course, if she thought that would put a stop to the rumor mill, she’s got another thing coming. Instead, Duggar obsessives have merely switched gears and are now focusing on Jill’s child-rearing methods. Like so many of her sisters, Jill has been mom-shamed on numerous occasions. She’s been accused of neglect, of improper nutritional practices, and of forcing her children to walk several miles for Chick-Fil-A . But these days, most of the criticism of Jill’s parenting skills has to do with her decision to homeschool her kids. Many have pointed to Jill’s kids’ lack of verbal and mathematical skills as evidence that she’s not up to the task. And the problem, these people claim, is not only that Jill has no experience as a teacher, but also that she’s relying on seriously flawed methods and materials. The Duggars homeschool curriculum has been heavily criticized in the past, largely due to a leaked lesson plan which teaches children sexual assault victims are often to blame for their assailants’ crimes. But that’s not the only reason that the Duggars’ methods have drawn criticism. Like her siblings, Jill relies on materials from the Institute for Basic Life Principles, a highly controversial organization founded by disgraced sex offender Bill Gothard . The curriculum relies on  “the teachings of Jesus Christ” to teach homeschooled children the basics in “linguistics, law, history, science, and medicine.” Nothing like a 2,000-year-old book to help your kids stay up-to-date on science! We kid, but perhaps if Jill’s kids appeared to be up to speed, her followers would be more accepting of her controversial methods. As it is, she may want to brace herself for more criticism.

Cory Wharton SLAMS Dad-Shamers: It’s Not My Fault Ryder Got Sick!

Cory Wharton is back with his ex-girlfriend Taylor Selfridge , but that’s not the only thing that has fans angry. Trolls have been viciously dad-shaming because he happened to be on vacation when little Ryder fell seriously ill. Now, Cory is hitting back at his detractors and explaining that he did everything that he could. Cory Wharton fired off a tweet after receiving unfair backlash. “Everybody is so quick to try paint me as a bad dad,” Cory laments. “It’s not fair at all.” “Ryder got sick while I was on vacation,” he writes. “And once it got worst I booked a flight home.” “At this point,” he admits. “I can’t care about everyone one else thinks I know what type of dad I am.” “I just want Ryder to get better,” he expresses. Precious baby Ryder was born with a congenital condition known as VLCAD. Because of this condition, Ryder’s body has difficulty breaking down certain types of fats. That may sound simple, akin to lactose intolerance, but it can be serious, and can manifest in various ways throughout someone’s life. In fact, one of the childhood symptoms of VLCAD is heart problems. Last week, Ryder was hospitalized due to complications from her condition. Cory could not have known this when he booked his vacation. Us Weekly   spoke to Cory, who released a statement to elaborate upon the frustrations that he expressed in his tweet. “While I rarely respond to public criticism,” Cory begins. “I felt the need this time to speak up.” For the record, he responded to public criticism just last week when he unveiled his new girlfriend . He asked fans to let him live his life. Cory is speaking up this time “because these claims are simply ridiculous and an attack on my character.” “Anyone who has watched Teen Mom OG —  and my social media — knows how involved I am,” he points out. Cory details that he is very involved “in my daughter’s life and in co-parenting with Cheyenne.” “Ryder is my life,” Cory affirms. “And I love her so much.” “And,” he continues, he “would never do anything that would have a negative impact on her.” “Anyone who thinks anything of the opposite is an idiot,” he accuses. “And clearly doesn’t know who I am at all.” “As soon as I got back from my vacation,” Cory explains. “I raced to the side of my daughter in the hospital.” “And,” he reveals, he “was there to take her home as well.” We don’t want to get psychoanalytical on you … but we will anyway. We don’t think that these dad-shaming fans who actually follow Cory at all are genuinely angry with him over this. They know that he rushed to be by Ryder’s side as soon as he could, cutting short his vacation. What they’re mad about is that he’s not by Cheyenne Floyd’s side. Both Cheyenne and Cory have made it very clear that they are co-parents but not a couple, and that they do not intend for that to change. Cheyenne also released a statement about her daughter’s health. “Thank you to everyone who prayed, reached out, & lifted Ryder up,” Cheyenne wrote on Instagram. “We are home & she is back to running in circles,” she shared. She wrote: “Our girl is so strong & it’s incredible to me.” “National Rare Disease day is Feb. 28,” Cheyenne concluded. “Lets make an impact.” View Slideshow: Cheyenne Floyd: I Don’t Care Who Cory Wharton is Dating, Because …

Kylie Jenner to Travis Scott: You’re Just Like Tristan! You’re a Cheater!

Travis Scott left the great, very cold citizens of Buffalo high and dry on Thursday night… … because the rapper was accued by his long-time girlfriend of being horny and duplicitous. Seriously: With the Kardashians and Jenners already dealing with the fallout of Tristan Thompson once again cheating on Khloe Kardashian (this time with a close friend), Kylie Jenner dropped a bombshell on her boyfriend this week. According to TMZ, the reality star discovered “evidence” that Scott had been cheating on her, leading an explosive argument in her home. YIKES, right?!? Not much else is known about what Kylie allegedly came across, but here’s the timeline of events related to this possible scandal: On Wednesday, Scott flew back from the East Coast, where he was in the middle of a tour, to surprise Kylie and their daughter, Stormi. At some point during this visit, Jenner found the aforementioned proof that Scott had been disloyal; we can only imagine this translates to a text message or an email from some other woman. Kylie confronted Scott with this information and the couple got into a major fight. Because the fight spilled into Thursday, and because Travis was cared about making sure things were okay, he actually canceled a scheduled concert in Buffalo so he could deal with his fractured romance. Sort of admirable, we guess. But those who had tickets to this concert might not feel the same way. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Scott’s rep denied the rumor that his client was a no good, rotten, dirty cheater. “Travis Scott vehemently denies he cheated on Kylie. It is not true. He did not cheat,” his rep says. “He cancelled one show tonight because he is under the weather.” Scott stuck to this same story, Tweeting late yesterday: Buffalo I’m so sorry I can’t perform tonight. I’m under the weather and it fucking sucks! Can’t pull up without full rage. Show rescheduled to March 10 all tix are valid. See u soon. Scott and his team can make this claim all they want, but TMZ is a very reliable outlet. It has even been accused of having a cozy arrangement with the Kardashians. So we can’t imagine they would simply invent this cheating accusation out of nowhere. It comes with engagement rumors swirling all around Kylie and Travis; nearly every week, there’s some reason for fans to think they’ve agreed to marry. Just consider some of the photos Kylie has recently shared online . This isn’t random chatter, either. Scott himself has made it clear that he’s interested in becoming Kylie’s husband and in giving their daughter a proper, legal family. “We’ll get married soon,” Scott told Rolling Stone late last year, teasing his proposal and making it sound as if he’s confident in the answer Jenner will provide once it happens: “I just gotta study up – I gotta propose in a fire way.” The rapper and the 21-year old got together in the spring of 2017, with most observers assuming it was just some meaningless fling. But then Kylie actually got pregnant with Scott’s baby and these same outsiders presumed the stars were merely maintaining the illusion of a strong romance for the sake of their careers. It would have looked pretty terrible if they split during the pregnancy or right after Stormi was born, right? But the naysayers have been proven wrong. Scott and Jenner are still a couple and actually do seem very much in love. “It got to a point where I was like, ‘I need her with me to operate. She’s that one,'” Scott admitted to Rolling Stone, concluding of Kylie at that time: “People don’t understand how real my girl is. How ill she is. They have assumptions, bullsh-t ass remarks of what they think is going on. Nah, bro… She’s the coolest motherf-cker of all time.” That’s great. But did you cheat on her, Travis?!?

Momo Challenge Urges Kids to Harm Themselves. Don’t Let Them.

The Momo Challenge is here, and it makes the Tide Pod challenge look like a parent's dream. A horrifying image appears in children's videos and on their messaging apps, instructing them to harm themselves and others or even to commit suicide. And the worst thing is that it's been going on for much longer than anyone realized. Our nightmares have a new face. Reports have been circulating about a “challenge” appearing on WhatsApp and YouTube and targeted at young children. Children will watch a YouTube video that appears to be a children's television program and they will see Momo during a jarring intermission. Alternatively, they will simply seek out Momo on a messaging app like WhatsApp. A scary face frightening children is only the beginning, however. “Momo” then challenges children, sometimes in stages. Ultimately, this challenge — like some other disturbing pranks played on children — can cause them to harm themselves. Some of these messages include instructions on how to commit suicide. Others are even more insidiious. One of the reports circulating on social media said that children were instructed by “Momo” to turn on a gas stove while everyone is asleep. That report was not confirmed, but sends chills down people's spines. The first reports of this challenge arose in the summer of 2018. So why haven't children been raising the alarm? Why are most people only hearing about it now? For one thing, the children who are targeted are the youngest demographics, usually with ages in the single digits. But most significantly, some of the Momo material threatens to hurt or kill the parents of children who tell. Since this story began circulating, we've also seen stories of parents asking their children about it, only to have the children burst into tears of fear and relief. Little kids rarely have the life experience or perspective to understand when a threat is or is not plausible. There is no doubt that the Momo Challenge has scared the pants off of plenty of people, including young children and concerned parents. There is, however, good news. As multiple outlets have reported after taking a good, hard look at the story, there's less danger than there appears. While a small number of international deaths have been “linked to” Momo, there is no proof that they died because of the challenge. In fact, Forbes reports that this story has spread out of proportion among worried parents, not unlike past viral pranks. It's not that no one ever ate Tide Pods or that no teen has ever ingested hand sanitizer in an effort to get drunk. It's just that people perceive it as having happened much more than it actually did. Parenting experts recommend that parents use this as an opportunity to talk to their children about dangers on the internet. This includes strangers, pranks, and the “challenge culture” that infests parts of social media. It's also a good idea for parents to reconsider giving very young children unfiltered access to YouTube. We would make a radical suggestion that parents spend time around their wee ones so that they can always see or at least hear what they're watching. You know what's really sad? The face seen as “Momo” is originally a sculpture by an artist named Midori Hayashi. It's a fine piece, and was never meant to be used like this.

Farrah Abraham Gets Called Out By Sophia: You Lie on Social Media!

It's a sad day for one of reality TV's looniest stars, who's being called out as a liar by the very person they raised from nothing. But enough about Michael Cohen's testimony, we're here to talk about Farrah Abraham! Farrah's daughter Sophia turned 10 this week, and it seems her double-digit years are off to a rocky start. Basically, she's now surpassed Farrah in terms of intellect and maturity, and it's putting a major strain on their relationship. Fortunately, we all get to watch as Farrah's formerly loyal mini-me rebels against her for our amusement. Take a look: 1. Happier Days There was a time when Farrah and Sophia were inseparable. The elder Abraham was known to drag Sophia to red carpet events like her favorite accessory. 2. The Rift Unfortunately for Farrah, it seems that those days are long gone, as Sophia is apparently determined to distance herself from her mother’s BS. 3. Done With the Drama It seems that not a week goes by without Sophia getting wrapped up in one of Farrah’s dumb controversies or publicity stunts. 4. Varying Degrees of Awfulness Some of these scandals are truly horrendous, such as the time Farrah encouraged Sophia to lie to her best friend and tell the girl her dog had died as a “prank.” 5. Still Pretty Lame Others are less serious but still embarrassing, such as the recent controversy that ensued when Farrah tried to win her daughter over with a huge stack of cash from “the Tooth Fairy.” 6. Somewhere In-Between Sophia’s latest controversy falls at about the middle of the spectrum. In other words, it’s more amusing than appalling. View Slideshow
