News "Harrison Ford's performance carries the movie" and more opinions from Cannes Film Festival critics about the latest Indiana Jones adventure, in which Ford revisits his role as the titular hero one last time. TAGGED AS: Film, Lucasfilm, movie, Walt Disney Pictures Exactly 15 years after the Cannes premiere of the previous installment, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny just made its debut at the same film festival, and the first reviews have made their way online. This fifth movie in the franchise sees Harrison Ford return as the titular adventuring archaeologist, with many of his scenes set in the past using de-aging special effects. Also along for the ride are Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Indy’s goddaughter and Antonio Banderas as a new ally, while John Rhys-Davies returns as Sallah, last seen in Raiders of the Lost Ark. James Mangold directs Dial of Destiny, taking over from Steven Spielberg, who helmed the first four Indiana Jones movies. Here’s what critics are saying about Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

He never loses either his scowl or his doggedness. He plays even the flimsiest scenes with conviction and dry humour. His performance carries the movie.” – Geoffrey Macnab, Independent (UK) 43% Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) (Walt Disney Pictures) On an Apple device?

The 29-year-old’s visit comes three days after it was reported that her A-lister Dad is receiving physical therapy for his unknown condition, per TMZ . While at the facility with her family, Corinne rocked a casual, yet trendy, ensemble. She paired her high-waisted jeans with a cozy black knitted cardigan and completed the look with black Converse sneakers. Corinne Foxx is Jamie Foxx’s eldest daughter. (Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock) While visiting Jamie amid his ongoing health struggle, Corinne was accompanied by her boyfriend, Joseph Hooten, her sister, Annalise Bishop , 13, and Annalise’s mom, Kristin Grannis . One month after Corinne revealed her dad had been hospitalized, theRaystar was reportedly on the mend when she confirmed he was released “weeks” prior to her May 12 statement. At the time, Corinne took to her Instagram Story in a since-deleted post to confirm that Jamie was home recovering. “Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating,” she penned at the time. “In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support!” One month prior, his eldest daughter confirmed that her dad had suffered a “medical complication,” which she revealed via a social media statement on May 12. “From the Foxx family,” the statement began. “We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.” Soon after it was revealed that the Oscar winner had suffered a “serious” health complication, many celebrities spoke out publicly and wished him well, including Kevin Hart and Jennifer Lopez . “I think the dope thing is that he’s getting better in his situation, and everybody’s prayers, everybody’s love, energy, all that stuff is seen and felt,” Kevin said on the Impaulsivepodcast.“I don’t know the details or the exact details as to what’s going on, but to my knowledge, there’s a lot of progression and a world of better.” While promoting her new film, The Mother , on May 5, J.Lo told Extra that she was hoping for the best for Jamie. “Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely,” she told the outlet amid his health scare. “I want him to have a quick and speedy recovery.” The 53-year-old and Jamie worked together in the 1990s when they both appeared onIn Living Color. Most recently, it was revealed that Jamie and Corinne will work together on a game show titled, We Are Family, set to premiere in 2024. She announced the news via Instagram on May 15. “WE ARE FAMILY coming 2024! The Foxx Family is headed back to our home on @foxtv we can’t wait for this new show!,” she captioned the article screenshot.

Kailyn Lowry: Here’s Why Fans Think She’s Pregnant With Her SIXTH Child! How many children does Kailyn Lowry have? That should be an easy question to answer, considering she’s been in the public eye her entire life, and she’s not exactly known for keeping secrets. In fact, her critics often complain that Kail is too outspoken. But many of those same critics believe that Ms. Lowry has a secret — a secret so big it needs to have its diaper changed several times a day! Kail cries during one of her final MTV appearances.

That should be an easy question to answer, considering she’s been in the public eye her entire life, and she’s not exactly known for keeping secrets. In fact, her critics often complain that Kail is too outspoken. But many of those same critics believe that Ms. Lowry has a secret — a secret so big it needs to have its diaper changed several times a day! Kail cries during one of her final MTV appearances. (Photo via MTV) (MTV) Yes, a surprising number of folks are convinced that Kail secretly welcomed a fifth child in November of last year. The theory sounds ridiculous, but we will say this on its behalf — Lowry has yet to definitively deny the rumors … which is rather suspicious. Anonymous internet conspiracy theorists aren’t known for their restraint and level-headedness, so these days, the uterine truthers are pushing things even further by alleging that Kail is pregnant with her sixth child! Kailyn Lowry attended the Webby Awards this week. (Photo via Instagram) (Getty Images) Lowry attended the 2023 Webby Awards earlier this week, and she was joined by her three eldest sons. Now, for some reason, a large number of Reddit weirdos are convinced that Kail was hiding a baby bump at the ceremony. “She is way underdressed at the awards, but needs a jacket to hide her belly,” one commenter wrote, according to UK tabloid The Sun. Some fans think Kailyn Lowry has been hiding a baby bump. (Photo via Instagram) (Instagram) Others noted that Lowry was “drinking water at the awards show” and had “positioned her kids in front of her” while posing for photos. “Her face shape is always telling, I agree with you she’s preggos,” one person commented. “Imagine having TWO additional kids and pretend you don’t. I hope it’s a boy,” another added. “Not baby gate 2.0,” a third chimed in, referring to Kail’s previous pregnancy controversy. Kailyn Lowry attends the 27th Annual Webby Awards in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Webby Awards) (Getty Images) Other folks were more reasonable/less cruel and noted that there’s absolutely no reason to believe that Kail is expecting. “It’s a case of Instagram Vs Reality. The photo she took is edited and has filters, and someone else took the other without editing and filters,” one person suggested, adding: “I think she had #5..I don’t think she is pregnant and will not have Irish twins.” Kailyn Lowry has four sons. Here she is with the oldest, Isaac. (Photo via Instagram) (Instagram) “I think this is reaching way too hard,” another observed. “I don’t think this outfit is flattering but I wouldn’t go so far as to assume she’s pregnant… that’s so foul,” a third remarked. If we had to guess, we would say Kail is not pregnant with her sixth child. Kailyn Lowry has FOUR kids. She’s posing with them all in this sweet family photo. (Photo via Instagram0 (Instagram) But we will admit that her reluctance to speak about her alleged fifth child is more than a little weird! And she should probably expect the rumors to continue until she clears the air one way or another.

Taylor Swift and Matt Healy were spotted together at the Electric Lady in NYC Matt Healy was in Philadelphia for Taylor Swift's latest Eras Concert. Healy played with Taylor Swift's opening act Phoebe Bridgers and then hung out at the VIP area during Taylor's concert. He was seen with Taylor and his parents. Healy and Taylor returned to New York after the Philly concert. They stayed there last week following Taylor's Nashville show. Healy, according to all reports, is staying in Taylor's ritzy New York Apartment and "they are not platonic." (lol). Healy, who was photographed Monday, entered and left Taylor's apartment complex.

Healy played with Taylor Swift's opening act Phoebe Bridgers and then hung out at the VIP area during Taylor's concert. He was seen with Taylor and his parents. Healy and Taylor returned to New York after the Philly concert. They stayed there last week following Taylor's Nashville show. Healy, according to all reports, is staying in Taylor's ritzy New York Apartment and "they are not platonic." (lol). Healy, who was photographed Monday, entered and left Taylor's apartment complex. He arrived with a large Louis Vuitton handbag, which he then left at Taylor's. I thought it was the end of the story. Just pointing out Healy has been staying with Taylor for several weeks in New York. Then these photos, the ones in this post, were released. Taylor and Matt exited Electric Lady studio where Taylor had hosted a small party with friends. Taylor's paparazzi and security surrounded Matt and Taylor as they left. Matt placed his protective hand on Taylor's shoulder as he followed her. These are the very first "public" photos. (I don't count those grainy pictures taken in a Nashville garage). They're claiming eachother. What do you think? I love it because the Snake Family is CRAZY about this. Taylor's supporters are calling Healy (correctly), a problematic individual and someone who has uncomfortably bigoted and racist views. They cannot believe that Taylor would ditch a "good man" like Joe Alwyn in order to continue with this bigoted and chaotic bad-boy. They're so angry that they bring up Taylor's past problematic behavior, and it's wonderful. I love it. She took tom to selena’s concert and brought him along. She made him wear an i heart T Swift shirt. But he was still called a getaway. https://t.co/9y7voGRVFI pic.twitter.com/hI5VgWsRLq -- rafia (@repromantic) May 15, 2023 Backgrid is the source of these photos.

Every year, there’s a blockbuster that releases that ushers in the summer season. You know it when you see it, and for 2023, it was Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, resuscitating for now MCU’s fame and fortune. The Scorecard won’t just be populated with blockbusters or wide releases, but also movies that feel significant enough to define the summer season. We’ll be limiting the list to just theatrical releases, and leaving the streamers be. (Unless y’all complain enough, then we’ll talk.) Because summer is about getting off the couch and out of the house, enjoying that sun and heat…and then sitting in the dark with strangers and air conditioning.

[More] #2 Adjusted Score: 102905% Critics Consensus: A galactic group hug that might squeeze a little too tight on the heartstrings, the final Guardians of the Galaxy is a loving last hurrah for the MCU's most ragtag family. Synopsis: In Marvel Studios "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" our beloved band of misfits are looking a bit different these... [More] #3 Adjusted Score: 62117% Critics Consensus: As irredeemably silly as it is satisfyingly self-aware, Fast X should rev the engines of longtime fans while leaving many newcomers in neutral.

[More] #4 Adjusted Score: 50842% Critics Consensus: Book Club: The Next Chapter's leading quartet remains eminently watchable, but they're underserved by its corny jokes and somewhat patronizing tone.

Kim Zolciak Demands Kroy Biermann Get Drug Tested: My Ex Endangers Our Children! As expected, the impending divorce between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann is getting very ugly. And very personal. And also very contentious. According to legal documents obtained by celebrity gossip website TMZ, Zolciak has gone on record in regard to her estranged husband’s alleged drug use. Kim and Kroy are seen here during much better and happier times. (Instagram) Per this report, Zolciak is asking a judge to force Biermann to submit to a five-panel hair follicle drug screen … while also requesting that he not cut or remove any of his hair until the screen is complete. The reason?... As expected, the impending divorce between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann is getting very ugly. And very personal. And also very contentious. According to legal documents obtained by celebrity gossip website TMZ, Zolciak has gone on record in regard to her estranged husband’s alleged drug use. Kim and Kroy are seen here during much better and happier times. (Instagram) Per this report, Zolciak is asking a judge to force Biermann to submit to a five-panel hair follicle drug screen … while also requesting that he not cut or remove any of his hair until the screen is complete. The reason? She claims that Kroy smokes too much marijuana. She claims that this habit makes him an unfit parent and that she has concerns about Biermann caring for the ex-couple’s children. Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann had a decent run as a couple. Alas, it has come to an end. (Instagram) As previously detailed, the marriage between The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum and her spouse has come to an end after 11 years. The reality stars reportedly owe $1.1 million to the IRS in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties from 2013, 2017, and 2018. They also owe the state of Georgia $15,000 for unpaid taxes from 2018. We can’t say for certain whether or not this scandal played a role in the couple going its separate ways… but it’s hard to think otherwise, wouldn’t you agree? YONKERS, NY – MAY 06: NFL Player Kroy Biermann (L) and TV Personality Kim Zolciak attend as Kim Zolciak hosts the Kentucky Derby hat contest at Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway on May 6, 2017 in Yonkers, New York. (Photo by Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images for Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway) (Getty) While these financial obstacles go a long way toward explain why the pair has split, plenty of social media users have also been wondering if infidelity played a role. The short answer is no. TMZ wrote a few days ago that neither side cheated, while also shooting down speculation that Kim and Kroy were in an open marriage. Yes, things between Zolciak and Biermann have grown nasty. But, no, not because of any outside party’s involvement. Don’t Be Tardy stars Brielle Biermann, Kim Zolciak, and Ariana Biermann know that they look very similar to each other. (Instagram) Sadly, a custody battle is clearly brewing, too. “Divorce is terrible but the kids are going to have to go through this in a very public manner,” an insider told People Magazine a week ago ago, referring to the couple’s four kids: 9-year-old twins Kaia Rose and Kane Ren, plus sons Kash Kade, 10, and Kroy Jagger, 11. Kroy also legally adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s older daughters Ariana Biermann, 21, and Brielle Biermann, 26, in 2013. Kim Zolciak is not shy about the procedures, both simple and surgical, that she has done on her body. Some of her fans worry that she has taken her lips too far. (Instagram) As for how Kim is feeling these days? “The highest form of love is consideration,” reads a quote shared to her Instagram Stories on May 16. “When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. “In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you.” ‘ y

The Dame Kelly Holmes Trust is based in this community center. The visit was intended to raise awareness of Mental Health Awareness Week/Month, similar to the Sussexes recent visit to Santa Barbara's youth program. People has more information about Kate's trip. Kate wore a saffron LK Bennett blazer that retails for PS359. Kate paired it with white pants, and white Veja sneakers. Kate is beautiful in yellow, gold, and saffron shades. She should wear them more often. The combination of her dark skin and hair makes those colors pop. I was surprised she didn't have jeggings on - the crisp white pants fit and are of a good length. Do I think that any of the children looked particularly interested in Kate? No. She didn't make any effort to engage with them. She was there just for the photo. I hope that Dame Kelly Holmes can raise some funds from Kate's trip, as you know Kate's team will not do anything to help them. I was shocked to see that KP's Social Media Manager tagged the trust on their post. The @DameKellysTrust is grateful to the young women of St Katherine's School who spoke so honestly and openly about their mental health. pic.twitter.com/KSMsSaPkx6 The Prince and Princess (@KensingtonRoyal), May 16, 2023 Cover Images is the source of these photos.

10 Asian Women Filmmakers Who Paved the Way for Other Asian Film Talent It took 93 years for the Academy to name an Asian woman (and first woman of color) as Best Director when Chloé Zhao took home the 2021 Academy Award for the critically acclaimed Nomadland . Before Zhao made history, director Domee Shi became the first woman of color to win a best animated short Oscar for Bao in 2019; the same year, director Isabel Sandoval’s feature Lingua Franca was the first film directed and starring an openly trans woman of color to screen in competition at the Venice International Film Festival.

It took 93 years for the Academy to name an Asian woman (and first woman of color) as Best Director when Chloé Zhao took home the 2021 Academy Award for the critically acclaimed Nomadland . Before Zhao made history, director Domee Shi became the first woman of color to win a best animated short Oscar for Bao in 2019; the same year, director Isabel Sandoval’s feature Lingua Franca was the first film directed and starring an openly trans woman of color to screen in competition at the Venice International Film Festival. In 2020, Awkwafina became the first Asian woman to win Best Actress at the Golden Globes for The Farewell , directed by Lulu Wang. And this year, Michelle Yeoh made Oscar history as the first Asian woman to win Best Actress for Everything Everywhere All at Once . As representation has expanded in recent years for Asian women on either side of the camera, let’s look at the Asian American women film directors who have paved the way in Hollywood. Marion Wong - - The Curse of Quon Gwon (1916) (1916) Director and star Marion Wong and costar Violet Wong, 1916 (Photo by Everett) The first Asian American feature film was made in 1916 by 21-year-old Wong, who directed, wrote, produced, and starred in The Curse of the Quon Gwon: When the Far East Mingles with West . Wong cast herself as the villain, her sister-in-law Violet Wong as the hero, and her mother Chin Shee as the elder matron. The film was produced by The Mandarin Film Company — also founded by Marion Wong, who secured funding from her uncle Ben Lim. According to the July 7, 1917 issue of The Motion Picture World, the film “deals with the curse of a Chinese god that follows his people because of the Influence of western civilization.” When the film was released, Marion Wong told the Oakland Tribune, “I had never seen any Chinese movies, so I decided to introduce them to the world.” Unfortunately, no distributors bought the film and, with no financial returns, Ben Lim declared bankruptcy. Marion Wong made no other films that we know of, and today, only two out of seven or eight nitrate reels of The Curse have survived, discovered in 2004 by filmmaker Arthur Dong. In 2006, The Curse was inducted into the United States Library of Congress’ National Film Registry. Anna May Wong My China Film (1936) Wong achieved many firsts. She was the first Chinese American movie star in Hollywood, appearing in over 60 films, with her first leading role coming in 1922’s The Toll of the Sea . In 1951, she became the first Asian American to lead an American television show, The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong . In 1960, a year before she died, Wong received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2022, Wong became the first Asian woman to appear as the face of the U.S. quarter dollar; in May of the following year, Barbie unveiled the Anna May Wong doll for AAPI Heritage Month. Not only a trailblazing actor, Wong was also a filmmaker. In 1936, she directed and produced the documentary-like My China Film , which documents Wong’s one and only trip to China, with shots of her being fitted by a Shanghai tailor for cheongsams and viewing her ancestral village with her father. Made immediately after she was rejected for a leading role in the MGM film The Good Earth, My China Film is Wong showing the world what China looks like from a Chinese American perspective rather than through Hollywood’s exoticized lens. Roughly two decades later, on February 14, 1957, the film aired as an episode of the ABC television program Bold Journey. Christine Choy and Renee Tajima-Peña - - Who Killed Vincent Chin? (1988) (1987) Choy and Tajima-Peña directedthe Oscar-nominated feature documentary about the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin, a young Chinese American engineer, by autoworker Ronald Ebens. Although Ebens confessed, he never spent a day in prison. This cri...

Not only is “Back to December,” a track on the album, known to be about Lautner, but it also features the famous track “Dear John.” The now 45-year-old and Swift dated between 2009 and 2010, around the same time that they collaborated on his song, “Half of My Heart.” At the time of their romance, the 33-year-old was around 19 years old, which she referred to in the lyrics of the breakup anthem. “Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?/ Don’t you think nineteen is too young / To be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?,” she belted out on the hit song. John Mayer Taylor Swift also dated between 2009 2010. (Amanda Schwab/Starpix/Shutterstock) Swift announced that she is dropping the officialTaylor’s Versionof her third album this summer while she was performing in Nashville on May 5. The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker said she had been “planning something for a while,” and was ready to reveal the news to her fans amid the sold-out show (watch here). “I plot I scheme I plan…. I think rather than me like speaking about it I thought I would just show you, so if you would direct your attention to the back big screen,” Swift said amid showing the album cover to her fans. Months ahead of herSpeak Nowannouncement, Swift released her 10th studio album, Midnights , in Oct. 2022. The record features many of theMiss Americanastar’s latest hits, including “Midnight Rain,” “Lavender Haze,” and “Bejeweled.” Many of her fans believe that she has been leaving clues to re-releasing her third album in several of her latest music videos. For example, in the video for “Bejeweled”, Swift hits a purple elevator button for the third floor, which is the same number thatSpeak Nowis in her catalogue. The album cover art is also Swift in purple dress, which matched the button she pressed in the video. The last re-recorded album she released was, Red (Taylor’s Version),which she released in Nov. 2021. Click to Subscribe to Get Our Free HollywoodLife Daily Newsletter to get the hottest celeb news.

Hailey Bieber Admits She’s “Scared” to Have Kids Amidst Ongoing Public … It has been years since Bieber Fever swept the globe. One of the few patients remaining with chronic Bieber Fever is Hailey Baldwin. As it turns out, she also has a bit of Baby Fever. This is a true there are two wolves inside you situation. Hailey has more financial stability than most people can dream of. Her sister has a kid. She has a husband.

It has been years since Bieber Fever swept the globe. One of the few patients remaining with chronic Bieber Fever is Hailey Baldwin. As it turns out, she also has a bit of Baby Fever. This is a true there are two wolves inside you situation. Hailey has more financial stability than most people can dream of. Her sister has a kid. She has a husband. But even though she feels ready to become a mom, the sad pressures of the spotlight make her “scared” to bring a child into the world. Posing for the camera in front of some bright lights, Hailey Bieber is simply glowing in this flattering sleeveless top. (Photo Credit: Instagram) In a recent interview with the Sunday Times , Hailey Bieber spoke about her thoughts on growing her family. She admitted that she wants to have a baby “so bad” despite being only 26 years old. However, she admitted that she feels “scared” to actually go through with it. That makes sense — becoming a parent is a massive, lifelong undertaking. In this mirror selfie, Hailey Bieber is showing off her incredible torso. (Photo Credit: Instagram) “I literally cry about this all the time,” Hailey then admitted. The source of her tears? Immense public pressure stemming from their fame and, largely, from her husband’s reputation (and publicity baggage). Not that Hailey has not played a role herself. “It’s enough that people say things about my husband or my friends,” Hailey expressed. “I can’t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child.” For years, Hailey Bieber has been a very happy Dog Mom. (Photo Credit: Instagram) However, Hailey figures that she will eventually take that step and become a parent. When she does, she reasoned, she can only do her “best” to ensure that her future children “feel loved and safe.” That is all that she and The Biebs can do. Of course, there are choices that they can make between now and parenthood to set up their kids to inherit less of a PR burden. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA – MARCH 12: Hailey Bieber attends the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 12, 2023 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for Vanity Fair) Simply put, both Justin and Hailey have made mistakes while in the spotlight. These errors in judgment have haunted them as individuals and as a couple. While it is totally unfair — as unfair as maligning Hailey just because her dad sucks, even enough to be mentioned out of a whole group of brothers who famously suck — this could mean blowback on their kids. One day. Justin Bieber performs with Daniel Caesar onstage at the Coachella Stage during the 2022 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 15, 2022 in Indio, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Coachella) Infamously, Justin has a string of bad behavior in his personal history. We don’t just mean angry outbursts, spitting from a balcony while his fans cheer below, or some less than savory choices in company. Unfortunately, part of his negative reputation stems from the circumstances under which he and Hailey became engaged. Hailey Baldwin shared this photo of her with then-fiance, Justin Bieber, writing in the captions that they were best friends. She also turned off comments. That is probably smart. In early 2018, Justin had spent months wooing Selena Gomez, his ex, worming his way back into her heart. That spring, the two of them broke up. Thankfully, this was the last time. Her fans had been holding their breath, fearing that his reported eagerness to marry would condemn her to an unenviable fate. Then, just a couple of months after their split, he suddenly started hanging out with a different ex, even going on the same dates. That ex was Hailey. Within weeks, he proposed. And within a matter of months, they married. Hailey Baldwin goes in for a lick after exchanging vows w...

Gary Goldsmith: Prince Harry is a spoilt brat for returning to California When I write about the embarrassing Thomas Markle or Samantha Markle I have to constantly remind myself that Kate has embarrassing relatives too.

When I write about the embarrassing Thomas Markle or Samantha Markle I have to constantly remind myself that Kate has embarrassing relatives too. It is only Kate's family members who are asked to say or do certain things in order to "empower" Kate. Meghan would have to give Meghan talking points instead of Piers. Gary Goldsmith is Kate's Uncle and Carole Middleton’s Brother. Gary Goldsmith is a wife-beater who has a bad reputation. I'm starting to question if these people are as rich as they claim. I thought Gary quietly funded Carole and her children's lives (because Party Pieces didn't cut it). But Gary's eagerness to get paid (I assume) to talk about the Sussexes makes me wonder if Gary has the same amount of money as the Middletons. Goldsmith was in the Daily Mail last December and Janaury, ranting about Meghan's rudeness towards Kate and William and the "jealousy" that Meghan has for Kate. Gary was sent specifically to "refute Harry's Spare and the Sussexes' Netflix Series". It didn't. Uncle Gary has arrived to give us his opinion on Harry's breezy performance at the coronation. The Mail gave Gary's byline as if he had "written" the article, but the Mail also noted at the end: "As told Claudia Joseph." This means that someone else actually wrote the piece and Gary simply performed it or added his name to it. Here are some of the highlights. When he first saw Prince Harry, he said: "The Waleses" - Kate and William and Charlotte and Louis looked incredible and for many of us were the most confident and relaxed people in the room. Prince Harry was a few rows back, and looked like a disengaged, petulant teenager. Kate is the most valuable asset of the monarchy. How did this little sporty girl, who loved to douse me, her uncle Gary, with water in the Middleton's back garden, turn into the most valued asset of the future Royal Family? Her authenticity, knowing her as I do. She is a genuine person. You can't pretend to be someone you aren't when you spend a long time in the spotlight. The cracks will show. Gary says Harry is "the brat": Harry was acting like a spoilt child, and flying back so quickly to LA for his son’s birthday. You get a birthday each year, but your father becoming King? That's a pretty big deal. He tried desperately to make it about him, and it was brilliant everyone ignored him. Harry who? My favorite moment was when Charles returned to the balcony and waved at everyone. This was the first time that I saw his face relax. The tension simply disappeared. The comment that the balcony is 'too-white' was the first time I have ever been offended at something on television. I think that we can all agree that the Royal Family has been evolving rapidly. If it is not Usain bolt fast enough, then they should get over themselves. Change is happening. The Prince and Princess Whining are the new Fab Four. Forget Meghan Harry. The new Fab Four is the King and Queen, Prince and Princess of Wales and the Prince and princess of Wales. The Daily Mail This is as embarrassing as Thomas Markle's interview. Gary is only doing it with permission from the Windsors. He has been given the task of flattering William, Kate and Harry. They want him to be out there calling Harry names and saying this nonsense. It's still amazing to me that everyone, from Gary Goldsmith and the royal reporters to the leaky Prince William's office, is still singularly focused Harry's quickie appearance at his coronation. Harry who? The Harry that you cannot stop talking about. Harry was not sulking - in his Dior suit he looked like royalty, and all eyes on him were both nationally and internationally. Is Gary Goldsmith in a desperate need of cash? It's sad that he is always rolled out in order to bash the Sussexes. Avalon Red Cover Images provided the photos.

Prince William & Kate created a behind the scenes coronation commercial The Prince and Princess' social media team shared a few short videos behind the scenes of the Wales family during the weekend of the coronation. These "fancams", as I call them, have been made and posted by the Kensington Royal team for at least two year, which makes me laugh because... they are not authentic fancams.

This is funny to me because... These are not authentic fancams, made by royalist fans using publicly-accessible videos. Well, the coronation provided the Waleses to do something new: invite a professional videographer/commercial director named Will Warr into their lives for the weekend and make a real "short film" about them. By short film, I'm referring to a commercial that is five minutes long and includes exclusive behind-the scenes footage. It's interesting to see the angles taken within Kensington Palace. They are very careful not show the racist artwork that William and Kate display in their living rooms, which Kate selected from the Royal Collection. It was good to see Charlotte, Louis and their excitement for the crowning. As I said... style over substance. It would have been better from an artistic point of view if Kate and William had spoken to the camera about their feelings during this part or the Big Lunch, or whatever. It's a nice touch. Did they hire a director to film them in their own home? William and Kate, as many have noted, seem eager to give commercial access to the Sussexes' family life. Avalon Red provided the photos.

There's no evidence that Camilla sold Prince Harry out to the media ...? Prince Harry's numerous lawsuits and court proceedings against British tabloids is bad news for Windsors. Harry, as I have noted, is in a winning position right now, particularly with the trial against Mirror Group Newspapers, the publishers of the Daily Mirror, and Sunday Mirror. Harry argues that hundreds of old Mirror stories were obtained through illegal means (phone hacking and bribery). From the beginning of the trial onwards, The Mirror argued that the majority of articles were sourced from royal offices. That is, courtiers who worked for Harry's grandmother and father were constantly leaking information about Harry. Harry's arguments are... Prince Harry's numerous lawsuits and court proceedings against British tabloids is bad news for Windsors. Harry, as I have noted, is in a winning position right now, particularly with the trial against Mirror Group Newspapers, the publishers of the Daily Mirror, and Sunday Mirror. Harry argues that hundreds of old Mirror stories were obtained through illegal means (phone hacking and bribery). From the beginning of the trial onwards, The Mirror argued that the majority of articles were sourced from royal offices. That is, courtiers who worked for Harry's grandmother and father were constantly leaking information about Harry. Harry's arguments are proven in both scenarios: tabloids are criminal enterprises and the Windsors have a symbiotic relationship with the British criminal media. Harry also knows many secrets, such as the secret, huge settlement Prince William received by the Sun. Will there be more revelations of this nature? Hopefully. It's made the Windsors shake in their boots. Here are some highlights from The Royalist's most recent piece: Prince Harry's testimony against the Mirror is coming up soon. A friend of the Prince told The Daily Beast that "the family knows he can say anything, and no one looks forward to it." Harry is obsessed with the idea that the media and everyone else are in cahoots, so there's bound to be more of this. William's settlement with NGN was "very large". According to The Daily Beast, the settlement amount is around PS1m ($1.15m). While the terms of the agreement were confidential, Harry could have been involved in the deal, and received a similar settlement. Camilla is also mad: A friend who was Camilla, whom Harry had accused in his book, of sacrificing Harry on her "PR-altar," told The Daily Beast, that although the king and the queen are "deeply injured" by Harry's behavior so far and will likely be upset further if he repeats or makes new allegations in court, "they absolutely accept he has a right to have his day in the courtroom like any other citizen." Camilla's connection to Piers Morgan Mark Bolland: When asked if Camilla felt unnerved about claims in a skeleton case submitted to the court that Mark Bolland (her and Charles' former spin-doctor) may have been a source of stories about Harry, including one that Harry caught glandular disease after kissing girls, and that Bolland had been a drinking buddy of Piers Morgan, who has since become one of the Sussexes most vituperative Anyone who knows Camilla knows that the idea that she would have encouraged Bolland sell Harry to the Mirror, is complete rubbish. Harry will be testifying for three days, and Omid will also testify. The timetable shows Harry to be testifying for three full days in early June. Next week, Omid, a biographer and cheerleader for Sussex, will testify at Harry's side. He will testify, according to court papers, that while interning at MGN's Sunday newspaper The People, he was "given a list mobile phone numbers and verbal instructions on how to listen voicemails as if this were a standard news gathering technique." The Daily Beast I'm not sure how to respond. The exact terms were kept confidential but they weren't hidden from Harry. He could have taken part in the deal to get a similar settlement. I'm still curious about how Harry found out and if he is aware of the terms. Mark Bolland, Camilla's PR guru was the one that she convinced Charles to hire. He also came up with the three-decade-long Project Queen Camilla to turn this conniving girl into the queen consort. The coronation hoopla (to me), has only highlighted that Camilla is still not ready for primetime. Her image is a sham, and Harry is well aware of what she's done to him as well as to Meghan. Remember that Camilla had n...

(SL, Terma / BACKGRID) Jason and the kids’ latest outing comes just one week after the Ted Lasso star was seen chatting it up with Olivia at another one of Otis’ soccer games. The exes appeared friendly and content to be around each other and even shared a hug. It was one of many games they’ve attended together since their split in 2020. Although Jason and Olivia made headlines last year for being involved in a custody battle, it seems they have managed to healthily co-parent and have a good rapport together, despite no longer being romantically involved. The former lovebirds are still reportedly trying to come up with a settlement in the custody situation and just last month, it was reported that Olivia claimed Jason wasn’t paying child support and was requesting him to pay $500K in legal fees, in court documents. Jason and Olivia, who were one of Hollywood’s hottest couples at one time, first started dating after reportedly meeting at a Saturday Night Live afterparty in 2011. They became engaged and it lasted seven years before they called it quits in Nov. 2020. Since then, Olivia was romantically linked to singer Harry Styles from Dec. 2020 until Nov. 2022. Jason was romantically linked to his Ted Lasso co-star Keeley Hazell from early 2021 until sometime in 2022.

Titans Ended with Season 4. But Showrunner Greg Walker Has More Ideas Titans was the scrappy DC superhero show that could. From the negative response to its first trailer — in which Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), then still operating as Batman‘s sidekick Robin, explained his split from The Dark Knight by uttering the infamous “F**k Batman” line — to the dissolution of its initial home, streaming service DC Universe, and a relocation to HBO Max (itself soon to be renamed “Max”), Titans weathered the punches.

Even within the fictional reality of the show, the team of young superheroes held up against opposition that included inter-dimensional demon Trigon, vengeance-obsessed hitman Slade Wilson (Esai Morales), and the deadly duo of May Bennett (Franka Potente) and her son, Sebastian Sanger (Joseph Morgan), aka Brother Blood. After four seasons, the series concluded its run this week. But there’s still more story to tell. Ryan Potter, Anna Diop, Brenton Thwaites, Jay Lycurgo, and Teagan Croft in Titans. (Photo by HBO Max) The ending was surprisingly hopeful and — as showrunner Greg Walker told Rotten Tomatoes in an interview conducted before the Writers Guild of America strike began — was a glimpse into some ideas he and his writing team had about a potential subsequent season. “The funny thing about Titans is there‘s all these shows embedded into the show. You could take any of our main cast — the core four and beyond — and make a very exciting TV series around them,” he said. In the series finale, most of the team choose new directions. Empath Rachel (Teagan Croft) decided to attend college in Bludhaven. Shapeshifter Gar (Ryan Potter) elected to travel The Red, the ephemeral realm of animal consciousness. Superboy Connor Kent (Joshua Orpin) elected to spend some time with Superman. And the show‘s latest Robin, Tim Drake (Jay Lycurgo), chose to split his time between Metropolis, where his boyfriend Bernard (James Scully) lives, and Gotham City, where he will continue to train as Robin. Dick and fire-powered Tamaranian Princess Kory Anders (Mame-Anna Diop) finally acknowledged their mutual attraction and returned together to San Francisco. Joseph Morgan in Titans. (Photo by HBO Max) The group also got one last adventure when they defeated Blood Brother. This proves that, even though they may need some time apart, the Titans will always be stronger together. “We wrote ourselves into a corner intentionally,” Walker explained.” How do you bring back the various Titans from where they are in their lives? What kind of momentous event would do that? We’d just started talking about that when our fate was revealed.” The decision to cancel the series came just after the writers and Walker were spitballing ideas for what they’d expected to be a fifth season. These stories included reincarnating Jinx (Lisa Ambalavanar), an ally in season 4 who died during a battle with May and introducing Terra, a character from the comics. There was even talk of doing a season centered on Dick and Kory. Other ideas Walker shared with Rotten Tomatoes included Gar spending a long time exploring The Red, but not, Walker said, to “the exclusion of his Titans family.” And he said that Tim would have carried on as the show‘s Robin both because of the emerging universe spinning out from 2022 feature film The Batman and a desire to doubled down on what New Teen Titans comic book creators Marv Wolfman and George had already established. They were even pitching a Red Hood spin-off with a mostly-reformed Jason Todd (Curran Walters), Dick‘s successor as Robin who went off the deep-end in Titans‘ third season. Jay Lycurgo in Titans. (Photo by HBO Max) A glimpse of that Red Hood show could be spied in Titans‘ penultimate episode, which saw Lycurgo‘s Tim finally don the Robin costume – a suit heavily inspired by his comic...

We’ll also pinpoint which elements it makes sense to test and provide clear insights into analyzing the results. So if all of that sounds good, read on. We have a lot of ground to cover. What is an A/B Test? A/B testing is a way to test different versions of a webpage or app against each to see which performs better. It helps to find out what users react to better and optimize their experience in the process. The ultimate aim? To maximize conversions. Users randomly see the variations over time and their behavior is monitored and analyzed for any disparities in performance. Ultimately the design variant with higher engagement rates will become your top choice.

Whether headlines, images, button colors or more – split testing provides insight into how individuals respond to changes on your website and will guarantee reliable results when done correctly. For accurate results, it is essential to conduct a thorough A/B testing process that involves the following steps: Articulate an exact hypothesis of what you are trying to assess.Generate two different versions of your web page.Randomly show both versions to users and carefully observe their behavior. Run the experiment for a sufficient sample size and duration in order to obtain reliable outcomes.Using data-driven insight, select the version which achieved better performance as your final design solution. Why Are A/B Tests Important for WordPress Site Owners? A/B testing is a crucial tool for people who desire to get the most out of their site. It enables you to assess how effective your content and design or app elements really are and test alternatives. This allows you to discover which works best in order to optimize conversions on your site.

Anderson Cooper defends CNN for airing Trump's Town Hall, despite his embarrassment. The cyclical nature fascism and stupidity has been kicking people's arses lately. It would be less disturbing if, as a community, we didn't treat "ignorance", "violent fascism", and other twin movements like they were new. As if there was no way of knowing how to deal these people. Many people are like fruit flies and can't remember anything from two years ago. CNN provided Donald Trump with hundreds of hours free of charge in 2016. CNN would broadcast his Nazi rallies on live TV, without any fact-checking and commentary. Cable news followed this policy up until November 2020. That's when... The cyclical nature fascism and stupidity has been kicking people's arses lately.

As if there was no way of knowing how to deal these people. Many people are like fruit flies and can't remember anything from two years ago. CNN provided Donald Trump with hundreds of hours free of charge in 2016. CNN would broadcast his Nazi rallies on live TV, without any fact-checking and commentary. Cable news followed this policy up until November 2020. That's when Trump went berserk on Election Night, and started spitting out the lies that would lead to a violent insurrection on the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021. From November 2020 to January 2021, news organizations realized that they could not blindly promote Trump's lies and violent threats. It is their civic and corporate duty to avoid putting him on the air without context. This week, CNN decided that it would be like 2016 again. CNN aired a town hall with Donald Trump, the insurrectionist who has been impeached twice and is currently under indictment. CNN was, as I said yesterday - grossly irresponsible. In the 24 hours following the town hall, CNN received widespread criticism from all sides. It got so bad, that Anderson Cooper had to make a public statement at the beginning of his CNN program last night. You have every right to feel outraged and angry today, and you should never watch this channel again. Do you really think that listening only to those who agree with you and staying in your own silo will make this person disappear? I am so embarrassed for Anderson Cooper. What in the f-k is he thinking? It's obvious that sensible people understand that Trump will not be "going away" anytime soon. We know the white nationalists are not going away either. But we all agree it would be f****** irresponsible of a news channel to broadcast a neo Nazi town hall without editing, fact-checking, or context. CNN did exactly that. AGAIN. They did it again in 2016, 2019 and 2020. Why does CNN act as if November 2020 did not happen? The insurrection did not happen? We shouldn't be forced to watch as major news networks learn that it is a bad thing to act as a platform for violent sexual predators, white nationalists and insurrectionists.

Taylor Swift & Matt Healy Are Actually a Couple! And Swifties Are Less Than Thrilled! When word first got out that Taylor Swift was romantically involved with Matty Healy, a lot of diehard Swifties didn’t want to believe it. Taylor’s breakup with Joe Alwyn just became public knowledge in April, and the stans didn’t like the idea of their goddess entering a new relationship quite so soon. On top of that, they didn’t like the idea of Taylor entering a relationship with someone like Matty. For those who are unfamiliar with the 1975 lead singer, Healy is … well, a bit of an eccentric.

Now, Matty deserves a world of credit for conquering his horse habit, and the booze-and-cig accessories might be partially for the benefit of his rock star image. However, you can see how the more wholesome segment of the Swiftie population might not be thrilled with dude’s public image.

(Photo by Mauricio Santana/Getty Images) But whether or fans like it or not, it seems Taylor is fully smitten with the Healy Monster. First, there were reports of Taylor and Matty mouthing “I love you” to one another when they’re on stage. And even though they’re both on tour at the moment, Swift and Healy have been going out of their way to attend each other’s concerts as frequently as possible. Now, we have what might be the most compelling evidence yet that Taylor and Matty are more than just friends. Taylor Swift and Matty Healy on what appears to be a date. (Photo via Instagram) A Twitter user named @emilymadelines posted the photo above this week along with the following explanation: “A swifties dad took this picture just a couple minutes ago and she sent this in our group chat. matty and taylor are together- confirmed!!” she wrote. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but along with all of the other evidence, this pic — which appears to show Taylor and Matty on a double date with her frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff and his fiancée — makes a pretty compelling case that these two are an item. (Photos via Getty) And friends of Taylor’s have confirmed that these two are very much enjoying one another’s company. “Taylor is happy. She’s very focused on her tour but is enjoying hanging out with Matty when she is off,” a source close to the situation tells People magazine. “They’re hanging out and having a good time. It’s not just platonic,” says another insider. US singer-songwriter Taylor Swift performs onstage on the first night of her “Eras Tour” at ATT Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on March 31, 2023. (Photo by SUZANNE CORDEIRO / AFP) (Photo by SUZANNE CORDEIRO/AFP via Getty Images) It was platonic for quite a long time. In fact, Taylor and Matty have been friends since 2014. They were hounded by dating rumors in those days too — but back then, both parties vehemently denied that they were anything more than friends. These days there are no such denials — and Swifties will just have to learn to live with it.

Dampier: 'There's a real problem, with most of the royals working over seventy years old' Are you with me, or did the coronation paintings have the opposite impact from their intended effect? The portraits were meant to celebrate King Charles's "slimmed-down monarchy," which he had longed for, with only the Windsor clan's most important members in a position of honor. What we got instead was a bunch octogenarians and septuagenarians. We also had two lazy 40-year-olds. Even the most conservative royal commentators have been enraged by the staleness and paleness of the event. The 74-year-old King is well known for his support of a smaller, cheaper monarchy. However, the picture also showed the potential difficulties... Are you with me, or did the coronation paintings have the opposite impact from their intended effect? The portraits were meant to celebrate King Charles's "slimmed-down monarchy," which he had longed for, with only the Windsor clan's most important members in a position of honor. What we got instead was a bunch octogenarians and septuagenarians. We also had two lazy 40-year-olds. Even the most conservative royal commentators have been enraged by the staleness and paleness of the event. The 74-year-old King is well known for his support of a smaller, cheaper monarchy. However, the picture also showed the potential difficulties that could arise, as all working royals, except four, are now over 70. The Prince and Princess Of Wales are under pressure to accept the majority of engagements, as the pool of working royals is shrinking. Phil Dampier, a royal author, said today that there will be fewer working royals in the next decade. Any further cuts would leave them unable perform their daily duties. He told MailOnline that 'we have a slimmed-down monarchy by default, because Harry and Meghan are gone and Andrew is in disgrace. There is a problem now that most of the royals who are still working are over 70. William and Kate, Edward and Sophie are the only royals left until their children reach adulthood. For the next ten years, there will be a shortage in manpower and womanpower. Charles has never been in favor of bringing Beatrice and Eugenie on board to help out, as they are linked with their parents. We will have to accept the fact that we are no longer going to be able to count on 1,600 patrons like the Queen or Prince Philip. Mr Dampier said that Queen Camilla may not welcome the idea of a long-distance royal tour. He said: 'Charles looks very fit, but I don't think the Queen would be thrilled with grueling overseas tours like those to Australia, New Zealand or the Caribbean. She hates flying and the heat, so she'll have a hard time at 75. The monarchy is already slimmed down. Let's not talk about further reducing it. Princess Anne stated this on Canadian television a few weeks ago. The institution's day-to-day work will be impossible if it is not cut back. The Daily Mail I enjoy that no one will acknowledge the truths about the Duke and the Duchess: that they would not have left if the Windsors treated Meghan and Harry well, protected them and loved them; that when the Sussexes said that they were "half in," their offer was rejected and ridiculed; and that the Sussexes won't be returning. William and Kate's laziness is also not acknowledged. There's a lot of panic because the Waleses are refusing to do anything more, despite the fact that they were instrumental in driving the charismatic Sussexes away out of racism and jealousy. Oh well!

New on Hulu in May 2023 Hulu‘s May releases feature the return of Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult in a (kinda) true story about an iconic empress, Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls in an updated take on a classic basketball movie, and Miranda Otto and Guy Pearce in a brooding cult drama inspired true events. The first show, the comedy The Great, centers on Russia‘s Catherine the Great and her unfit husband Peter III.

Hulu‘s May releases feature the return of Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult in a (kinda) true story about an iconic empress, Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls in an updated take on a classic basketball movie, and Miranda Otto and Guy Pearce in a brooding cult drama inspired true events. The first show, the comedy The Great, centers on Russia‘s Catherine the Great and her unfit husband Peter III. Premiering its third season on May 12, it mocks our obsessions with period dramas by having people in pretty outfits curse like sailors. The second, which premieres May 19, is a new take on White Men Can’t Jump. Much much like the original movie, which starred Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson, it follows basketball hustlers played by Harlow and Walls — players from opposite worlds who find common ground on the court. And then there‘s the dramatic thriller The Clearing, which is based on the novel by J.P Stormare and stars Teresa Palmer as well as Pearce and Otto. It‘s a psychological thriller about a cult and kidnappings. Read on to find out what else is headed to Hulu and what‘s leaving this month, with a few highlights at the top. - - The Great: Season 3 (2023) Description: Season 3 sees Catherine and Peter attempt to make their marriage work after last season saw some seemingly insurmountable problems, (she stabbed his professional decoy — also played by Hoult — in the back and imprisoned all his friends while; he slept with her mother, causing her to fall out a window and die). Career-wise, things are going great for Catherine this year. She starts making a name for herself beyond her borders and, inspired by a visit from the U.S. ambassador, sets up a conference where peasants, nobles, and merchants alike can give their input on developing a new Russia. (In doing so, she learns that even the best political leaders sometimes need to make compromises). Peter also has to find a new project; one that gets him out of the way of Catherine‘s reign. He tries fathering their son, hunting, and salty culinary ventures. But nothing will keep visions of his late father (played by Jason Isaacs) from haunting him. Premiere Date: Friday, May 12 - - White Men Can't Jump (2023) Description: This a modern remix of the 1992 film that celebrates the streetball hustle culture of Los Angeles. Multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow makes his movie debut as Jeremy, a former star of the game whose injuries stalled his career. And Sinqua Walls stars as Kamal, someone who was once a promising player but who derailed his own future in the sport. Juggling tenuous relationships, financial pressures and serious internal struggles, the two ballers — opposites who are seemingly miles apart — find they might have more in common than they imagined. Premiere Date: Friday, May 19 - - The Clearing: Season 1 (2023) Description: In this gripping psychological thriller, a religious cult wreaks havoc; blurring the lines in a woman‘s mind between past and present; reality and nightmare.

Bebe Rexha: When I started I was told ‘you need to lose 20 lbs’ One of the things I like most about Bebe Rexha is her memorable, sometimes wacky red carpet style. She always serves up something flashy and fun–you’ll never see her looking basic. Another thing I like about Bebe is that she talks about her struggles in an authentic way. She recently shared that one of the TikTok suggested searches is about her weight, which she said sucks but is understandable. In an interview with Gayle King she revealed that she’s been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which has contributed to her weight gain. She also mentioned that she’s faced pressure to... One of the things I like most about Bebe Rexha is her memorable, sometimes wacky red carpet style. She always serves up something flashy and fun–you’ll never see her looking basic. Another thing I like about Bebe is that she talks about her struggles in an authentic way. She recently shared that one of the TikTok suggested searches is about her weight, which she said sucks but is understandable. In an interview with Gayle King she revealed that she’s been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which has contributed to her weight gain. She also mentioned that she’s faced pressure to lose weight since the start of her career. Bebe Rexha revealed that she recently learned that she has polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS. During an appearance on Gayle King’s SiriusXM show Gayle King in the House, the 33-year-old singer opened up about her experience with PCOS — a hormone imbalance that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age. The condition can cause symptoms like irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain and infertility. “I definitely struggle with my weight and I struggle with the way that I look, and it’s been tough for me. I just found out recently that I have PCOS and a lot of women have it. And a lot of women have it and don’t know,” Rexha said while noting that weight gain is a common symptom she’s dealt with. “It’s tough. I think for me, I’ve been definitely struggling with my weight and I’ve been struggling with food forever.” She continued, “I remember starting out and getting my first record deal, they kind of put it in my head and they said to me when I first got signed, ‘Are you ready to get into bootcamp shape? Because you need to lose 20 lbs. in order to do this career. Like you have to lose weight.'” [From People] I feel for Bebe because it sounds like she’s faced both internal and external pressure to change how her body looks for several years. This is a familiar feeling for me personally, and most days I don’t want to look at myself in the mirror at all. So many women feel this pressure to change their bodies to fit a thin ideal. Even if we don’t get told “you need to lose 20 lbs,” some research suggests that women in larger bodies are paid up to 10% less than their thinner peers. It’s disappointing that someone as talented as Bebe could still be reduced to her appearance. But it’s not surprising. It must have been a crushing thing for Bebe to hear when she was starting out. What she needed as a budding singer and songwriter was support, not judgment. It’s also short-sighted and dumb for industry execs to try to make all their pop stars conform to a thin ideal. Bebe’s story shows that so many factors influence a person’s weight. And not all of them are in our control. The causes of PCOS remain unknown, so getting effective treatment is often easier said than done. I like that Bebe is being so open about what she’s going through and raising awareness about PCOS. Still, it sounds exasperating for her to deal with negativity about her body over and over. Bebe is currently headlining a tour around the US and I hope she feels the love from fans who come out to her shows. And I hope she continues to wear flashy, wacky outfits.

Raquel Leviss to Ariana Madix: Hey, I’m Having Sex With Your Boyfriend! Can You … These days, the whole world knows that Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval carried on an illicit affair behind Ariana Madix’s back. And based on what we’ve seen in recent episodes of Vanderpump Rules, it sort of boggles the mind that these two were able to keep it a secret for like seven months. Last night’s installment was supposed to be the season finale, but producers wisely decided to resume filming and slap together another episode after news of the Raquel and Tom affair went public.

These days, the whole world knows that Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval carried on an illicit affair behind Ariana Madix’s back. And based on what we’ve seen in recent episodes of Vanderpump Rules, it sort of boggles the mind that these two were able to keep it a secret for like seven months. Last night’s installment was supposed to be the season finale, but producers wisely decided to resume filming and slap together another episode after news of the Raquel and Tom affair went public. So we have yet to see the moment when Ariana learns the truth, but we’re guessing the crew members who shot this season weren’t exactly shocked when Sandoval and Leviss finally got exposed. Tom Sandoval and Raquel had an affair behind Ariana Madix’s back. (Photo via Bravo) On Wednesday night we saw Tom and Ariana hit one hell of a rough patch as Sandoval griped to Schwartz about the state of his relationship before complaining to Madix that he no longer feels “connected” to her. “There’s been a lot of things that have been bothering me and stacking up and swept under the rug. My very presence annoys you,” Tom complained to his soon-to-be ex. “You snap at me and you f—ing belittle me in front of people. That really f—ing hurts my feelings,” he alleged. Tom Sandoval is not very popular with his co-stars these days. (Photo via Bravo) From there, Tom blamed Ariana for the lack of sex in their relationship, and she aptly pointed out that it takes two to tango — or not tango, as the case my be. “Maybe you need to spend time with me because I cannot have sex with somebody who feels like a stranger,” she said. The episode concluded with a scene that’s downright appalling in retrospect: We see Raquel counseling Ariana on her relationship and plying Madix for intimate details about her sex life. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JULY 19: Raquel Leviss attends DailyMail.com and TMX opening celebration of Schwartz Sandy’s on July 19, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images for DailyMail.com) “He feels like he’s not being heard, which is why he’s always the loudest person in the room,” Ariana confided to her friend, prompting Raquel to ask about the couple’s sexual “dry spells” “You come home after working all night and you’re like, what? You think you’re going to whip your d— out and I’m gonna say, ‘Let’s f—k?’ That’s never going to happen. We have to spend time together,” Ariana said. Raquel pressed on and asked whether Ariana still felt “sexually attracted” to Tom.

(Photo by Araya Doheny/Getty Images) “Oh my god, I think he’s so f—ing hot,” Madix replied, before opening up about her insecurities about her own body. “But then I’m like, ‘I’m not hot.’ You don’t look at my body and go, ‘Yeah, that’s what I want. I want cellulite, fat thighs and a big ass and Bingo arms,'” she said. “I think we’re a lot prettier than we think we are,” Raquel countered. Tom Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with Raquel Leviss. (Photo via Instagram) “We’re our own worst critics and I think that translates into our sexual lives. Now that I’m single I think sex is a very, very important part of a healthy relationship.” Leviss ended the conversation by assuring Ariana that she and Tom will be just fine. It was a perfectly innocuous, even wholesome conversation — until you remember that Raquel was already f–king Tom at that point! We suppose you could write scenes like this for a scripted show — but no one would believe them!
