Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Actually Moving to Africa?!?

There’s just a whole lot going on with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle these days. First and foremost, of course, the Royal Couple is awaiting the birth of its first child. According to multiple reports, Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, has touched down in London in anticipation of this blessed event. It really may take place any day now. But celebrity gossip followers and Royal Family supporters are already looking ahead. Yes, they’re curious about the gender of this baby and they are oh so VERY curious about the name Henry and Meghan will choose. However, there’s now cause to be concerned about what the Prince and his Duchess will do after they become first-time parents.  Namely: Might they move? To Africa?!?!?!? In yesterday’s edition of The Sunday Times in Great Britain, Tim Shipman and Roya Nikkhah write that “Courtiers have drawn up plans to hand the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a major international job that could see them moving abroad after the birth of their child.” An insider then explained to this publication just where Markle and Harry could be headed: “Discussions are at an early stage, but the plan is to find a new way of using their soft power abilities, most likely in Africa.” Interesting, right? And also: Unprecedented if it happens. Harry and Meghan recently made news when they picked up and relocated from Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace and into Frogmore Cottage, their new home near Windsor Castle. Did they do so due to an alleged feud with Prince William and Kate Middleton? Or because they wanted to raise their little boy or girl outside the bustlign city? We may never know for certain. The Times now reports, though, that a more long-term and signigicant moving decision may be on the horizon — but not “until 2020 when they have settled down with their new baby, which is due within days.” Harry and Meghan notably traveled to Botswana together early on in their relationship in 2017. Both halves of the famous twosome have dedicated their time and resources to charity work in the region. So this rumor isn’t completely out of nowhere, not in terms of the couple’s shared interests. But it would rock Great Britain to its core, considering the importance placed there on the Royal Family and the seemingly giant EFF YOU it would be from Harry and Meghan to actually live on another continent. Perhaps most surprising of all, Buckingham Palace issued a statement over the weekend in response to the Times article… and did not deny the reports that Harry and Meghan could move away from the U.K. at some point down the line. “Any future plans for The Duke and Duchess are speculative at this stage. No decisions have been taken about future roles,” reads this statement, which concludes: “The Duke will continue to fulfill his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.” Fans must now wonder if it would really be all that shocking for Markle and Harry to go through with this move. The Duchess has been trashed left and right for months by the British press and chatter over a rivalry between Markle/Harry and William/Kate continue to persist, despite an apparent lack of evidence. “The wives don’t get on. The brothers have fallen out,” says a source. “What Meghan wants, Meghan gets.” Will she soon get her husband to move very far away from his native country? Stay tuned to find out!

Keeping Up With the Kardashians Rekap: Khloe vs. Kourtney in Bali!

Last week, we showed you a Keeping Up With The Kardashians sneak peek in which Khloe snapped at Kourtney after very little taunting. On Sunday night’s episode, we saw that this squabble was just the tip of the iceberg. The sisters were practically at each other’s throats during their “soul-searching” family vacation to Bali. On the episode airing April 21, the broiling tensions between Khloe and Kourtney began before they even arrived. The flight to Indonesia lasted for 18 hours, during which Khloe felt a little overwhelmed — or whelmed at least. This was a long, long flight to take with baby True. And while Mason and Penelope are growing older faster than fans can believe, there was an entire litter of Kardashian children to wrangle. While Khloe was growing increasingly frustrated, Kourtney was living her best life — by sleeping for 15 of those 18 hours. After emerging from her glorious beauty sleep, Kourtney was aghast to find that her luggage was all wrong. … By which we mean that her bags contained the wrong kind of lip gloss and lip liner. “I need to have a talk with my assistant when I get back,” Kourtney vowed ominously. This from the woman who famously advised Kim to stop crying about her diamond earrings because “there’s people that are dying.” Khloe mentioned that she had packed her own bags, but Kourt was less than interesting. “I don’t wanna do that stuff myself,” she told her younger sister. Later, during the scene that we showed you on Friday, Kourtney then baited Khloe by bringing up her fondness for compalining. After talking about how everyone needed to take a spiritual and mental inventory, Kourtney noted that Khloe was “complaining too much.” Khloe did not enjoy that at all. Tensions rose further after Khloe lamented that she was overwhelmed because family business obligations kept her from spending time with Tristan. (Lol, remember when she and Tristan were together?) Kourtney was pretty dismissive, saying that Khloe could always opt out. “You’re an adult woman with a child,” she counseled Khloe. “You can say no.” Honestly, that sounded like pretty good advice to us, but Khloe didn’t take it that way. (Or, at least, editing made it look like Khloe was further rankled by Kourt’s suggestion) Sitting in front of the confessional camera, Khloe went off — violently. “Her comments make me want to slap her in the f–king mouth,” Khloe expressed. Khloe then went crying to Momager Kris  She griped that Kourtney was always “on her phone.” “She’s not present,” Khloe accused. “She’s so f–king selfish.” Now, Khloe and Kourtney eventually reached an agreement to be more considerate of each other’s feelings. Speaking of Kourt making peace … there’s Scott. Honestly, his biggest role in the episode was being a loving, doting father. He and Kourtney even posed for a family photo that Khloe joked would make the cover of “co-parenting magazine.” Clearly, the cameras and editing were in favor of helping Scott continue to rehabilitate his image. We know that we come across as a little Team Kourtney here. It’s difficult to not admire someone sleeping for 15 hours. That’s beyond BDE. That’s Big Sleep Energy and we’re here for it. Clearly, she was deliberately antagonizing Khloe. Whether this was a ploy for the show or an immature sibling squabble (or maybe they can’t tell the difference anymore), we can’t say. It looks like Kourt’s story in next week’s episode is going to take a much more personal tone. She and Scott have a lot of emotional baggage to sort out.

Cardi B Rejects Plea Deal In Strip Club Bartender Beat Down Case

Source: JOHANNES EISELE / Getty Cardi B has been attempting to clear her name in the assault case against her where she allegedly ordered the beating of strip club bartenders Jade and Baddie Gi . The Invasion of Privacy star was in court Friday (April 19) but rejected a plea deal that would have given her a misdemeanor charge. TMZ reports : She was all business — decked out in white — as she walked through the rain, and into an NYC courthouse. As you know, Cardi’s accused of ordering an attack on 2 strip club bartenders — Jade and Baddie Gi — last August. Cardi allegedly thought Jade had slept with her man, Offset. Inside, prosecutors tried to play let’s make a deal. The offer — plead guilty to a misdemeanor, and get a conditional discharge. That would mean no jail time, but Cardi would have to stay out of trouble for some period of time. That didn’t appeal to her, and she rejected the deal before they could even discuss how long she’d have to keep her nose clean. The hearing didn’t take long, and Cardi strolled back out … silent as fans and photogs showed her love. Cardi is facing both reckless endangerment and assault charges, both listed as misdemeanors. — Photo: Getty

Track Star Who Was Paralyzed After Car Accident Aims To Run Again

Go here to read the rest:

A teen from Georgia is turning his tragedy into triumph and is living proof that with hard work and perseverance it’s possible to beat the odds. According to Inside Edition Tre Lawson —a track star who was paralyzed after a car accident—is aiming to get back to running. Tre Lawson is on a mission to run again — and hopefully inspire others in the process https://t.co/9xf5x2SyWH — News4JAX (@wjxt4) April 20, 2019 At one point Lawson, who attended Westside High School, was one of the top track athletes in the country, but things took a tragic turn in 2017. After winning a track meet, he got into a car with a group of friends and the driver fell asleep at the wheel. The vehicle went off the road and crashed. Lawson suffered serious injuries including damage done to his head, abdomen, and spinal cord. He woke up in the hospital nearly a month after the accident occurred. “It was a huge depressing moment. I thought maybe this is the last time I’ll be able to run again, my career is over. I was wondering if the coaches would still be interested in me even if I recover in due time,” he told the news outlet. “Looking at the four walls of the hospital room, you become depressed really quickly.” Although it took a while for Lawson to come to terms with what had happened, he ultimately decided he wouldn’t let his circumstances defeat him. He was motivated to get back on the track. He went through a rigorous rehabilitation program at the Shepherd Center based in Atlanta. Day after day Lawson went hard with his strength training so that he wouldn’t have to be confined to a wheelchair. He recently got back on the track at his high school with a walker and was able to walk 200 meters in 30 minutes. He says that the accident has inspired him to focus on the positive aspects of life. “Every day isn’t a sunny day. You have to have rain in order to have a rainbow some days.” Lawson has launched his own nonprofit organization for patients at the Shepherd Center. SEE ALSO: T.I.

At the time, B&J’s said: “This flavor supports groups creating a more just and equitable nation for us all, and who are fighting President Trump’s regressive agenda.” Reps also told how they could not be silent in the face of POTUS’s policies which attack and attempt to roll back decades of progress on racial and gender equity.
