In 2016, Barack Obama famously invited Donald Trump to the White House after the election. Obama even did a short photocall inside the Oval Office with Trump. This is how it?s been done for decades, if not centuries. The incoming president is invited to the White House by the outgoing president. Not only that, it?s tradition for the outgoing First Lady to invite the incoming First Lady to the White House as well. Four years later, the Trumps did not do the same. Donald was a sucky baby and a sore loser, and he refused to do anything to help or coordinate with the incoming Biden administration. Then he incited an insurrection on the Capitol. Four years later, the Bidens have invited the Trumps to the White House. Donald Trump has accepted President Biden?s invitation, in what will likely be a depressing and awful meeting. But notably, Melania Trump has not accepted Jill Biden?s invitation.

Melania Trump is not expected to attend the traditional White House meeting with first lady Jill Biden, sources familiar with her plans said. It?s a decision that underscores Melania Trump?s long-held willingness to buck tradition as she prepares to retake the high-profile ? but unelected ? role of first lady, one with no manual and an automatic global platform.

The sources cited a prior scheduling conflict for the former first lady related to her newly released memoir. One source said the decision had not been finalized.

Jill Biden extended Melania Trump the customary invitation last week as her husband also invited the president-elect to the Oval Office, a symbolic gesture to show the country and the world that there will be a peaceful transition of power ? and an implicit rebuke of Donald Trump, who refused Joe Biden the same meeting in 2020 as he contested that election?s results. The two are set to meet Wednesday at 11 a.m., according to the White House.

There was discussion about encouraging Melania Trump to come to Washington for the meeting, as some members of the president-elect?s team felt it was important. But the incoming first lady, who spent her first four years in office redefining the role and what was expected, is laying an early marker indicating she will have even more autonomy the second time around.

Well, I?m glad Dr. Biden won?t have to have tea with that classless woman. This is obviously intended as a snub to Dr. Biden, but really, Melania just comes across as lazy and awful, as always. I told you guys last week that Melania had no interest in going back to the White House. Mel?s First Lady philosophy is really: I don?t really care, do u?

If you?re a fan of Zendaya and Tom Holland and want to see them in a movie together that doesn?t belong in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then I have some great news for you! Late last week, Deadline and Variety announced that the couple have both been cast in Christopher Nolan?s next film. Tom?s casting was made public in October, so Zendaya is a new addition. Details about the movie itself are scarce, but Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway are also co-starring in this untitled movie. In addition to directing it, Nolan is also writing the film, which will begin filming in early 2025 and currently has a release date of July 17, 2026.

Zendaya is reuniting with Tom Holland on the big screen, this time at the direction of Christopher Nolan. The Dune and Challengers actress, 28, will be joining Nolan?s next film at Universal alongside Anne Hathaway, according to Deadline and Variety. The movie, which also stars Matt Damon, will be released in July 2026, the outlets reported.

Details of the film?s plot are reportedly under wraps.

Holland, 28, and Zendaya, who confirmed their romantic relationship in 2021, have previously teamed up for 2017?s Spider-Man Homecoming, 2019?s Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021?s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Zendaya and Hathaway, 41, previously worked together on set of a Bulgari ad in 2022, while Hathaway and Nolan?s working relationship dates back to 2012?s The Dark Knight Rises and 2014?s Interstellar.

Nolan?s next movie will mark his follow-up to the 2023 blockbuster Oppenheimer, which also featured a performance from Damon, 54. Multiple outlets, including Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, reported last month that Holland was in talks to star in the director?s next movie alongside Damon. All three outlets indicated Nolan?s next movie would begin filming in early 2025.

On Good Morning America last month, Holland said of the Nolan project, ?I?m incredibly excited. And, obviously, honored, but that?s all I can say because, to be honest, that?s all I know.? The star has also indicated that a new Spider-Man movie will begin filming next year.

Earlier this year, Hathaway spoke with Vanity Fair for a cover story, when she detailed how Nolan, 54, helped her career during a period of online scrutiny in the 2010s. After her Oscar win for 2012?s L?s Miserables, Hathaway said many people ?wouldn?t give? her roles ?because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online.?

?I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I?ve had in one of the best films that I?ve been a part of,? she said of Nolan and Interstellar.

?I don?t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect,? she added. ?And my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn?t backed me.?

[From People]

It?s kinda crazy that Tom signed on to do the movie without knowing much about it at all. I mean, I?d do that too because?well, duh. A Nolan film is guaranteed Oscar bait. I?m excited to see what his and Zendaya?s roles will be and hope that they get to interact on screen together as characters that are completely different than we?re used to seeing them play. I?m sure both will kick butt in whatever part they?re cast as. We need more details about the movie, stat!

As for what Anne says regarding Nolan being her ?angel,? I actually finally watched Interstellar for the first time last month, and OMG! I cried so hard throughout several different parts. Anne, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, and Michael Caine are all fantastic in it. It?s one of Mr. Rosie?s favorite movies, but I really did not like Inception and thought The Dark Knight Rises was just meh, so I avoided all Nolan movies until Oppenheimer. I feel like I?m now back on the Chris Nolan train. I?m excited to watch Anne, Zendaya, and Tom in his next flick.

In August, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex traveled to Colombia, on the invitation of the country?s vice president. The British media threw a huge tantrum over it, slamming Colombia, belittling the continent of South America, and saying outright that only desperate and pathetic countries would invite the Sussexes to visit. Even more hilarious was when the royal reporters revealed that those talking points came directly from Buckingham Palace. Well, first they cry, then they mock, and then they copy. Guess who?s going to South America next year? It looks like Prince William will soon announce that Earthshot?s 2025 ceremony will be held in South America, and he also revealed plans to go to COP30 in Brazil.

Prince William is looking ahead to the next year of taking his environmental mission, The Earthshot Prize, around the world. The Prince of Wales, 42, is looking forward to ?playing a role? at the next big climate control meeting in Brazil, PEOPLE understands.

His attendance at the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference ? known in shorthand as COP30, and scheduled for mid-November 2025 ?would be the latest stage of his increasing role as a world statesman. In doing so, Prince William would follow in the footsteps of his father King Charles, who has attended ? and spoken at ? climate conferences several times.

The next venue for William?s Earthshot Prize Awards ? the fifth iteration of the 10 ceremonies expected ? has yet to be announced, but it is widely expected to be in South America.

Conveniently, the Earthshot Prize Awards typically fall within the first weeks of November, setting the Prince of Wales up to potentially attend COP30, which runs from Nov. 10 to 21.

[From People]

Usually, William announces the next year?s Earthshot host city at Earthshot or just after. The silence seems to indicate that maybe South American countries aren?t all that eager to play host to Peggington?s vanity project? It would be hilarious if William demanded to go to Colombia, but I suspect he?ll probably try to go to Brazil. The fact that William is running around, briefing everyone about his plans to go somewhere in November 2025 shows you that this sad man has very little on his plate:

The Prince of Wales will attend next year?s COP climate conference in Brazil, it has been confirmed, as he pushes to ?use his platform to spread urgent optimism? around the environmental debate. He wants to take that message to the high-level UN climate conference ? due to take place in Belem next November.

A royal source said: ?Throughout his trip (to South Africa) the prince spoke about the importance of not losing sight of what needs to be done between now and 2030 ? the Earthshot decade. His commitment to restoring the future of the planet is unwavering and the prince is determined to do all he can to use his platform to spread urgent optimism. Next year, the climate COP will take place in Brazil, and it?s set to be hugely consequential. The Prince of Wales is looking forward to playing a role there.?

His decision to attend COP can potentially be seen as a sign of his desire to take on an even greater diplomatic role in the environmental sphere. It?s understood that Prince William?s decision to fly to Brazil won?t necessarily be in place of the King, who has delivered keynote speeches at a number of COP conferences, and is viewed as a global leader in environmental matters. But the King?s attendance would be at the foreign office?s request, and under the advice of doctors following his cancer treatment.

[From Sky News]

Just so we?re clear, he briefed everyone about his plans to attend next year?s COP conference? while he and his father are not bothering to go to this year?s conference in Baku, Azerbaijan. That?s how much William ?cares? about all of this, including statesmanship ? he?s too lazy to actually go to a conference of world leaders this week, because he?s too busy screaming about how he?ll be a statesman one year from now. Anyway, I?m looking forward to hearing where Earthshot will go next year. As I said, I bet they?re having difficulties finding a country to host.

In recent days, many have remarked that there won?t be the same kind of audience for Donald Trump?s palace intrigue this time around. I?m not so sure ? it seems more terrifying to think that Trump might staff the White House with low-drama professionals who get sh-t done, as opposed to staffing himself with an assortment of narcissists, clowns, incompetents, sycophants and Kellyanne Conway. Interestingly enough, Elon Musk has been camped out at Mar-a-Lago for the past week. He hasn?t left. Elon is in every meeting, Trump is putting him on calls with world leaders, and Musk is making staffing decisions too. Gross.

After all that election night excitement, it seems Elon Musk just doesn?t want to go home. Multiple sources have told CNN that amid the post-victory buzz around Mar-a-Lago, the Tesla CEO has been at Donald Trump?s Florida resort almost every single day over the past week, with Instagram posts under the location tag showing him dining with the president-elect and his wife on Sunday, as well as spending time on the grounds with his son over the weekend.

?Dining with him on the patio at times, today they were seen on the golf course together,? network anchor Katilan Collins said in a broadcast on Sunday. ?Musk has been in the room when world leaders have called, and tonight we have learned he?s also weighing in on staffing decisions, making clear his preference for certain roles even. While Musk himself is still not expected to take any kind of formal position inside Trump?s administration, given how complicated it would be with his companies, what?s becoming clearer tonight is that he doesn?t really need to,? Collins added. ?One source told me, Elon Musk is having just as much influence from the outside.?

Other commentators have noted that Musk?s persistent presence at the resort over the past few days appears to be unnerving some members of Trump?s transition team, who have reportedly already come to view the tech tycoon as something of the ?guest who wouldn?t leave? after the party.

?He definitely inserts himself all the time, that?s his style,? tech journalist Kara Swisher told CNN on Monday morning. ?I?ve heard from Trump people, calling me saying, ?Oh, wow. This is odd?. And it is.?

Swisher goes further to speculate that Trump and Musk?s bromance likely won?t survive the pressure of two planetary-sized egos vying for space in the halls of power.

?They?re both narcissists, and there can be only one narcissist as head of the country, and that?s Donald Trump,? Swisher said. ?Trump goes through people like tissues, essentially. And even if it?s Musk, they?re going to clash at some point.?

[From The Daily Beast]

Pre-election, I remember someone saying that Musk and Peter Thiel were vying to see which of the Apartheid-loving fascists would become Trump?s favorite. What?s even crazier is that I agree with Kara Swisher ? Trump will get tired of Elon?s BS really quickly. Elon will become the least favored Large Adult Son. Notice who they?re not talking about ? where is the other surrogate Large Adult Son, JD Vance?

Meanwhile, Trump has made some staffing decisions. He will appoint Susie Wiles as his chief of staff, which would make her the first woman in history to take that role in the White House. Wiles is a longtime Republican strategist and she looks like the biggest Karen in history. Terrifying. Reportedly, Trump will tap Joseph Goebbels-wannabe Stephen Miller as his deputy chief of staff and chief policy advisor. Trump will also appoint Thomas Homan as his ?border czar.? Last month, 60 Minutes interviewed Homan and he is a stone-cold psychopath who wants to deport every person with a Spanish-sounding surname.

Several days ago, the Crown Estate confirmed something interesting: after King Charles ?cut off? Prince Andrew financially, with the hope of driving Andrew out of Royal Lodge, Andrew revealed to the Crown Estate that he had plenty of money to stay at Royal Lodge. Thus, Charles?s two-year-long plot to drive Andrew out of Royal Lodge has ended in a whimper. Charles and his people briefed about Andrew constantly, deflecting to ?the Andrew situation? whenever they needed a quick pseudo-positive headline for Charles. It?s been the weirdest gossip thread to follow, because it was perfectly obvious that Andrew has had millions squirreled away for years. Well, now sources close to Andrew are taking a victory lap and saying outright that Charles looks weak and enfeebled for focusing so much time and effort on this ridiculous plot.

While the palace is refusing to comment officially, some of Charles? friends are furious, saying that he has been badly advised?and calling for heads to roll. The story has sucked up a remarkable amount of royal time and energy since reports Charles wanted Andrew to leave first began appearing in U.K. papers in early 2023, just after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had been booted out of Frogmore Cottage in a kingly fit of pique over Harry?s depiction of the family in his memoir Spare.

Now, 18 months later, the king?s camp have been forced to admit what Andrew?s side have told The Daily Beast and others from day one; they don?t have a legal leg to stand on and Andrew and his heirs are entitled to stay at the fabulous, ten-bedroomed, crenelated mansion on 90 acres until his lease expires in?2078!

One friend of Charles and Camilla?s said: ?Whoever advised the king to set off on this road and keep going down this road has very serious questions to answer. Charles loathes incompetence above all else. I wouldn?t be at all surprised if some people quietly clear off at Christmas never to be seen again.?

Another friend of the family said: ?I?m afraid it?s another reflection of the family?s fundamental dysfunction. Normal families don?t have these kinds of arguments. The king?s aides were foolish to wash the family?s dirty linen in public in this way.?

Friends of Andrew told The Daily Beast this weekend they were happy for the disgraced duke. One said: ?We are thrilled for Andrew. Andrew has a cast iron lease on the property so god knows why Charles chose to pick this battle. He has been comprehensively humiliated. It?s hard to imagine anyone would have any interest in where Andrew is living if Charles? aides had not spent the past year banging on about it. He was never going to just walk away from the property; the lease is a valuable asset he intends to leave to his children, and maybe William will be glad of having Eugenie or Beatrice there in years to come. It?s a great result for Andrew and Sarah. It?s absurd that Charles wasn?t dissuaded from launching this campaign against them in the first place, but then to continue it this year, when the king has been so ill, was, frankly, nuts.?

[From The Daily Beast]

While Andrew is obviously trash, I have to admit, in this very limited situation, I?m fine with him ?winning? and I agree that Charles put himself in a losing position, and that this was a humiliating defeat for Charles. You would have thought that the biggest crisis for the monarchy was Andrew?s valid lease on Royal Lodge, that?s the way ?palace sources? banged on and on about it for two years. It looks like QEII was able to protect her favorite son much better than she protected her favorite grandson. Remember, Charles is only now claiming that QEII was the one who wanted Andrew out of Royal Lodge (a lie) AND that she would have evicted the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage as well. Charles is such a dumbass, my god.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have been mostly together since they met in 2020. They were drawn to each other immediately and began referring to each other as ?twin flames.? Their relationship certainly has been fiery ? the engagement ring designed to make Megan bleed if she ever removed it, the very loud breakup in early 2023, the on-and-off status of their engagement for a year, and on and on. Their relationship seemed toxic to me, but I think Megan likes the drama. Well, Megan and MGK are now expecting. This will be their first child together, and fourth overall for Megan.

Congratulations are in order for Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. Fox took to Instagram on Monday to share that she is pregnant with her fourth child, her first with Machine Gun Kelly (whose real name is Colson Baker). Fox shares three sons with ex-husband Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green. Kelly is also a father to a daughter from another relationship.

?Nothing is ever really lost. welcome back,? Fox wrote alongside an angel emoji and a heart. In the post, Fox can be seen cradling her baby bump while covered in black liquid, tagging Kelly in the photo. In another image, she shares a photo of the positive pregnancy test.

The caption references song lyrics from Kelly?s ?last november,? a song about his and Fox?s past pregnancy loss, which Fox had opened up about in some poems in her book Pretty Boys Are Poisonous.

Appearing on Good Morning America last year, Fox talked about the miscarriage: ?I?ve never been through anything like that in my life. I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately ? trying to navigate, ?What does this mean?? and ?Why did this happen???

In an interview with Women?s Wear Daily, Fox said of the miscarriage, ?That experience was so much harder than I would?ve anticipated it being, and I?ve really analyzed ?why was that? Why was that so difficult for me?? Because when I was younger, I had an ectopic pregnancy, I?ve had other things that I?m not going to say because God forbid the world will be in an uproar. But I?ve been through other similar issues, but not with someone who I was so in love with.?

[From THR]

Congrats to them. As I was looking for photos of them, I realized that they?ve been pretty quiet (as a couple) this year. All of their drama was front-loaded, and once they got back together for good last year, they?ve been keeping their sh-t off people?s radars for the most part, minus some of Megan?s interviews. They were seen on Halloween, where Megan dressed up as Padme and MGK dressed up as Anakin Skywalker. FIERY! Honestly, Meg?s Padme costume slaps, she really pulled it off. And to think, she was actually covering up her bump on Halloween.

A lot of people have been posting a British talk show clip over the past week. In the clip, reporter Rhiannon Mills (Sky News? royal reporter) is speaking about the Princess of Wales, and instead of Mills reciting the palace?s lines about Kate?s cancer, Mills said that doctors found ?pre-cancerous cells.? This clip has been cited repeatedly on social media, as people have been expressing skepticism about what we?ve been told about Kate?s health for months now. Looking back on everything around Kate in the past two years, I?ve become a Kate-Really-Was-In-Poor-Health-Originally Truther. As in, the start of all of this was legitimate, and she needed some kind of abdominal surgery to take care of something (which has never been disclosed). But so much of what has happened this year and so much of what we have been told absolutely *feels* like some kind of cover story or PR move. I don?t know the truth, but I understand why so many people feel like we?re being lied to. As for the ?pre-cancerous cells? situation, the Daily Beast?s Royalist is one of the few outlets to touch the controversy:

Conspiracy theories surrounding Kate Middleton?s cancer diagnosis and recovery have erupted online again, after a report by a respected and accredited royal reporter suggested the Princess of Wales never had cancer but was instead found to have ?pre-cancerous cells.? Vicious rumors perpetrated by online trolls alleging that Kate either faked or exaggerated her cancer to cover up personal difficulties have been turbocharged by the claim.

When Kate announced she had cancer in March 2024, she said tests after abdominal surgery ?found cancer? and that she was advised to ?undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy.? However, a doctor told The Daily Beast, ?You either have pre-cancerous cells or you have cancer, the two terms are not interchangeable.?

The renewed attention on Kate?s condition was triggered after a September report by Rhiannon Mills, senior royal editor for Sky News, resurfaced this weekend. When covering the Princess of Wales? joyful video announcement that she was ?cancer-free,? Mills wrote: ?In March the princess confirmed that pre-cancerous cells had been found following abdominal surgery and that she would have to undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy.?

The specific formulation of the words went largely unnoticed at the time amid relief at Kate?s announcement that she was ?cancer-free? and widespread astonishment at the deeply personal nature of the film, which showed Kate and Prince William and their family engaged in a series of wholesome and well-lit pursuits.

Mills? remarks cannot be easily dismissed, however, as she is a member of the so-called royal rota, a quasi-official group of royal journalists working for British media who, while maintaining their editorial independence and frequently writing critical stories about the royals, cooperate with the palace, especially on logistics, in a broad sense. The palace is often able to get simple errors made by rota journalists corrected, and the fact a correction hasn?t been made is relevant. Mills is a hugely experienced journalist.

[From The Daily Beast]

Not only is Mills well-respected within the British media, Mills was one of the reporters who traveled to South Africa last week with Prince William. Mills secured an exclusive interview with William (the ?hardest year of my life? interview). From a media-management perspective, if Kensington Palace was pissed about Mills accidentally (or on purpose) revealing something about Kate?s health, they would have kicked her off the traveling rota for this trip. And William certainly wouldn?t have given her an interview. There?s another possibility too, connected to William?s interview ? perhaps William?s interview was part of a quid pro quo to keep Mills from spilling more? A completely different possibility: maybe Mills was just talking out of her ass and she actually forgot what the palace?s line was, and she never thought people would call attention to it.

I?m not sure where that has come from. I may have missed it but I don?t recall the Princess or anyone at Kensington Palace using the phrase pre-cancerous cells. https://t.co/8VJ6J4OGtj

I totally forgot that Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger were expecting again. They announced Katherine?s pregnancy back in June, and last week, they welcomed their third child together (and fourth for Chris). After two girls, they ?got the boy.? Which is what Chris wanted, I?m sure. This is their third child in five years. Which is on-brand for Chris Pratt.

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger?who tied the knot in 2019?welcomed their third baby together, a son named Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, on Nov. 8.

?We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son,? they shared on Instagram Nov. 11. ?Mama and baby are doing well and Ford?s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful. Love, Katherine and Chris.?

Katherine confirmed that they were expecting their third baby together in July with an Instagram post featuring her bump and a pair of pink plaid maternity overalls.

Their little one joins big sisters Lyla, 4, and Eloise, 2, as well as Chris? son Jack, 12, with ex-wife Anna Faris. And over the years, the Jurassic World actor has given insight into life with his kids.

[From E! News]

Ford?? Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt. That name is a mouthful. Fitzgerald obviously has a connection to Katherine?s mother Maria Shriver and the Kennedy-Shriver family. But at no point has Katherine used ?Shriver? for one of the middle names. Lyla does have the middle name ?Maria? though. So, what our thoughts on the name Ford Pratt? Eh. And not to be too bitchy, but I really hope Chris Pratt doesn?t praise Katherine for giving him another ?healthy? child again.

Martha Stewart is supremely miffed that her past legal troubles were even mentioned in her Netflix documentary, Martha. You know, that little kerfuffle where she was accused of insider trading and then convicted of lying to the FBI after being targeted by an overzealous James Comey that resulted in a two-month prison sentence. Why on earth would anyone want to put that in a biographical documentary! Martha hasn?t forgotten that period, though she?d very much like you to. Martha also hasn?t forgotten the NY Post columnist who covered her 20 years ago, though she has forgotten the woman?s real name. And the fact that she?s still alive. During an interview segment in the doc, Martha declares it a very good thing that ?New York Post lady? is dead. Which of course prompted said ?lady,? aka Andrea Peyser, to clap back with: ?I?m alive, bitch!? Excellent, no notes.

Martha Stewart mistakenly killed off a journalist mentioned in her new Netflix documentary, Martha.

In the film, which aired on Oct. 30, Stewart, 83, claimed Andrea Peyser ? a New York Post columnist who covered Stewart?s infamous 2004 trial ? was ?dead now, thank goodness.? Except, she isn?t.

Peyser used her latest column for the newspaper to declare, ?I?m alive, bitch!? Peyser, who started working for New York Post in 1989, has published at least eight other stories in 2024.

Stewart was convicted for lying to the FBI during an insider-trading investigation in 2004.

?Guilty, guilty, guilty on all these counts of whatever,? she said in Martha. ?My daughter, she fainted when they read the verdict. Poor child.?

Stewart referred to Peyser as simply ?New York Post lady? and recalls seeing her in the courtroom when the verdict was announced. In her latest story, Peyser confirmed she ?wrote weeks of Post columns? during that time.

?New York Post lady was there, just looking so smug,? said Stewart. ?She had written horrible things during the entire trial. But she is dead now, thank goodness. And nobody has to put up with the crap she was writing all the time.?

?News of my passing came as a shock,? said Peyser of her ?uncredited cameo appearance.?

?But rather than feeling angry or worried that Martha has offed me, or to seek an emergency order of protection, I am overwhelmingly sad in the face of Martha?s bitterness.?

It is unclear why Stewart believed Peyser was dead.

[From People]

See, Ryan Reynolds, you got off easy just being called ?not so funny in real life.? Martha could?ve knocked you off in her imaginary life! Ahead of its release, I predicted the pop cultural ripple effects of Martha would be epic, and I do believe that prediction has borne out, my friends. Martha was denouncing the trial?s inclusion before the doc even came out, which only served to bring more attention to that ordeal and whet our appetites for what else filmmaker R.J. Cutler had in store. (For what it?s worth, I thought Cutler actually did right by Martha in presenting a compelling case for the indictment being a legally-murky, overblown response from Comey.) It?s still hilarious to me, as an ardent observer of the human condition, that Martha was in a tizzy about coverage of her trial, when the real bombshells all had to do with her marriage, and selectively applied beliefs on fidelity. Martha wanted to cast her ex-husband Andy Stewart as a terrible cheater? and then turned around and casually dismissed her own indiscretions as not unfaithful but ?emotional,? or not consequential because she would never leave her marriage over it and/or because Andy ?never knew.? I?m not saying everything was Martha?s fault, I just find the gap in self-awareness FASCINATING.

Someone who?s not so enamored of all this rehashing? Andy Stewart?s current wife, who posted on social media recently that she wished Martha would please stop talking about a marriage that ended 34 years ago, one that she says was ?painful and abusive? for Andy. And I think we all know who Martha?s going to declare dead next.
