And the party don’t stop.. ????

You’ll never friggin’ guess who threw themselves another wedding reception. I prayed that we were done with Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ wedding extravaganza. They had no fewer than a dozen giant weddings, receptions and wedding-related photo-ops. They sold EVERYTHING. They sold their gift registry. They sold their bachelor and bachelorette parties. They made “exclusive” deals with Vogue, People Magazine and Hello for extensive coverage and photos. They completely oversaturated the market – and completely overestimated the interest in their love story – for a solid month, if not longer. And just when I thought the wedding extravaganza was over, they went back to India for yet another f–king wedding reception, complete with a photocall and another People exclusive:
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas are continuing their wedding celebrations! The newly married couple returned to Mumbai two weeks after throwing their first lavish wedding reception in New Delhi to celebrate their marriage with a second reception thrown by Chopra’s mother, Madhu Chopra.
As Chopra, 36, and Jonas, 26, posed in front of an extravagant wall of flowers, the bride wore a strapless custom navy ballgown with intricate gold embroidery created by India-based designer Sabyasachi. Chopra also draped a semi-sheer embroidered dupatta shawl over her shoulders and accessorized with a vintage diamond necklace, rings, stacked bracelets and stud earrings by Sabysachi.
Jonas traveled to the U.S. last week and spent time with brother Joe Jonas to watch the Canelo vs. Rocky fight together over the weekend and enjoyed a court-side view of the Knicks game on Monday, before returning to Mumbai on Tuesday.

I’m starting to HOPE that this is all some kind of contractual fauxmance, because if all of this is for real, then I’m worried about both of them. I understand that Hindu weddings are big extravaganzas, but I’d like to think that even the richest and most famous Indians are side-eyeing the crap out of Priyanka right now for her insistence on doing all of this. The thirst of these two, my God.

Around Thanksgiving is when the smear campaign against the Duchess of Sussex went into overdrive, in what seemed like a coordinated effort from several different people and different “camps.” One of the first stories we heard was about how Mean Diva Meghan made Poor Kate cry just before the Royal Sussex Wedding in May. Allegedly, both women were at a fitting for the “bridesmaids,” including Princess Charlotte, and something was said or the two women fought or something. No one was actually clear as to what really happened, just that Kate cried and we were supposed to assume that Meghan did something to her. What followed was a series of stories about how Meghan is just so angry and terrible and difficult and diva-ish that she’s responsible for all of the white tears in Britain. So what really happened during that pre-wedding fitting though? People Magazine has a little bit more information:
Rumors of a rift between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have dominated headlines in recent weeks, and tensions between the two royal women boiled over on at least one occasion. A family friend confirms to PEOPLE in this week’s cover story that Meghan, 37, and Kate, 36, clashed in the days ahead of the Duchess of Sussex’s royal wedding to Prince Harry in May.
“There was an argument between Meghan and Kate over the fit of [3-year-old] Princess Charlotte‘s dress,” the source confirms. A different insider adds, “There were very few fittings for the bridesmaids. Everything was left to the last minute, and it was really stressful for everyone involved.”
Kate was reportedly “left in tears” over the incident — though exactly what upset her is unclear.
[From People]
An argument over the fit of Charlotte’s bridesmaid’s dress… I’ve gone back and looked at the photos of Charlotte at the Sussex wedding, and if anything, I think the fit is definitely a little bit off on her little dress. It’s a tad too big, but isn’t that pretty common with kids’ clothes? I mean, no parent wants their kids in body-con. Was that the fight? Kate was like “it should be baggy” and Meghan was like “but then it needs to still look structured and clean”…? And if that’s the kind of fight that led to tears, then obviously it was just a stressful and hormonal time for both women. I don’t know, truly. I still believe that people have manipulated this story.

I’ve said this before, but I actually have a lot of respect for the way Kylie Jenner dealt with her pregnancy and young-motherhood over the course of the past year and a half. Kylie wanted a baby, she got pregnant and she didn’t try to wrap up her relationship with Travis Scott as “we’re going to get married because it’s the right thing to do” or whatever. Kylie’s got her own money, her own home, her own business. Her pregnancy was on her terms, and she seems to be raising Stormi on her terms too. She’s talked a lot about how Travis Scott stays with her whenever he’s in town, but I basically think that their relationship is a lot looser than most people believe. So, with all that being said… I would not be surprised at all if this story is true, and that Kylie wants another baby with Travis.
Is the Kardashian-Jenner family gaining another member sooner rather than later? According to a source, Kylie Jenner certainly hopes so.
“Kylie and Travis [Scott] are attached at the hip and want to expand their family,” the source tells Us Weekly exclusively. “There is no question that they want to give Stormi a sibling and way sooner than people expect.”
The source adds that Jenner’s “entire family loves them together and they support their relationship 100 percent.”
Jenner, 21, and Scott, 26, welcomed Stormi in February. The makeup mogul told fans via Instagram on Monday, December 17, that her daughter has made 2018 “the best” year. The source also tells Us that the rapper, who recently extended his Astroworld World Tour, “moved around his performing schedule so he could be with the family more and they could continue to blossom even further.”
Jenner and Stormi have joined Scott on the road for multiple tour dates. The Life of Kylie star revealed last month that her beau makes sure their 10-month-old daughter has her own room backstage at every concert venue.
Yeah, I could see it. I think Travis loves Kylie, and he loves that she’s not begging for a larger commitment, and she’s not even asking him to move in full-time. Ah, to be a young billionaire, huh? Speaking of, Kylie made Forbes’ list of America’s Wealthiest Celebrities, and Kylie came in at #5, with a net worth of around $900 million (same as Jay-Z). Most of Kylie’s wealth is on paper, and tied to the projected growth of Kylie Cosmetics.

Last week, we discussed the New York Times story about Eliza Dushku and Michael Weatherly. The story was connected to the larger CBS investigation into Les Moonves – as it turned out, Moonves was a big supporter of Weatherly and Moonves personally oversaw the situation with Eliza’s sexual harassment lawsuit and the eventual settlement. From what we learned in the NYT report, Weatherly’s behavior was entirely inappropriate and absolutely rose to the level of sexual harassment. The whole situation was made infinitely worse when Dushku complained, and Weatherly and producer/showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron ganged up against her, bullied her, embarrassed her and had her fired.
Eliza has written an op-ed for the Boston Globe about all of the sh-t that went down – you can read the full piece here. She starts out by pointing out that the NYT piece was based on the narrative “propagated by CBS” and failed to accurately represent how Weatherly and Caron “retaliated against me for simply asking to do my job without relentless sexual harassment.” She says she declined to speak to the NYT because she was honoring her non-disclosure agreement, which she signed as part of her settlement, but she was shocked to find Weatherly and Caron had commented extensively in the piece. Here’s the part of the op-ed where she details Weatherly’s harassment:
Weatherly harassed me from early on. The tapes show his offer to take me to his “rape van, filled with all sorts of lubricants and long phallic things.” There was also his constant name-calling; playing provocative songs (like “Barracuda”) on his iPhone when I approached my set marks; and his remark about having a threesome. He made the threesome remark to me about himself and me in a room full of people. Minutes later, a crew member sidled up next to me and, with a smirk, said in a low voice, “I’m with Bull. I wanna have a threesome with you too.” For weeks, Weatherly was recorded making sexual comments, and was recorded mimicking penis jousting with a male costar, this directly on the heels of the “threesome” proposal, and another time referring to me repeatedly as “legs.” He regularly commented on my “ravishing” beauty, following up with audible groans, oohing and aahing. As the tapes show, he liked to boast about his sperm and vasectomy reversals (“I want you to know, Eliza, I have powerful swimmers”). Weatherly had a habit of exaggerated eye-balling and leering at me; once, he leaned into my body and inhaled, smelling me in a dramatic swoon. As was caught on tape, after I flubbed a line, he shouted in my face, “I will take you over my knee and spank you like a little girl.”
One day, when my now husband, Peter Palandjian, visited the set, Weatherly made us all watch as he pretended to urinate on an indoor office plant, then spun around pretending to shake himself off and pull up his zipper. The tapes show Weatherly routinely exclaimed “yellow card” after distasteful remarks. I learned from crew members that, because there had been previous harassment training on “Bull,” Weatherly’s delight in yelling “yellow card” was his way of mocking the very harassment training that was meant to keep him in line.
Weatherly also bragged about his friendship with CBS chief executive Les Moonves. He regaled me with stories about using Moonves’s plane, how they vacationed together, and what great friends they were. Weatherly wielded this special friendship as an amulet and, as I can see now, as a threat.
Weatherly did all this. His conduct was unwelcome and directed at me. Watching the recordings in the settlement process, it is easy to see how uncomfortable, speechless, and frozen he made me feel. For Weatherly’s part, it looks like a deeply insecure power play, about a need to dominate and demean. In no way was it playful, nor was it joking with two willing participants. It was not “Cary Grant ad-libbed lines,” an incredulous Weatherly excuse which, even if true, asks us to believe that Hollywood behaviors from 70 years ago might be acceptable today. What is hardest to share is the way he made me feel for 10 to 12 hours per day for weeks. This was classic workplace harassment that became workplace bullying. I was made to feel dread nearly all the time I was in his presence. And this dread continues to come up whenever I think of him and that experience.
[From The Boston Globe]
Dushku then details how she “resolved to deal with it directly.” She approached Weatherly privately, “framing my request as a plea for ‘help’ in setting a different tone on the set, I asked him to ‘be my ally’ and to ‘help ease the sexualized set comments.’” Weatherly responded by telling her “Eliza, no one respects women more than I do,” and telling her about his sisters. She learned months later that about 40 minutes after that conversation, Weatherly texted CBS Television President David Stapf and asked him to have Eliza written off the show because of her “humor deficit.” In the weeks that followed, Weatherly iced her out and then circulated a memo to the crew “instructing not to comment on my appearance or beauty.” He ended up humiliating her in front of the crew one last time on her last day on the set too.
Eliza also detailed how showrunner Glenn Gordon Caron was an absolute douche who fired her in the middle of a shooting day, and then participated in the toxic bullying of her long after she was gone from the set:
My talent representatives spoke to Caron about my firing months later. Caron defended Weatherly, explaining he had simply exhibited “frat” behavior and added, “What does [Eliza] expect, she was in Maxim.” On the subject of my legal rights, Caron said to my manager, “If Eliza wants to be out of the business by suing CBS, she can be out of the business.”
The boys’ club remains in full force at CBS. The bullying continued. In the settlement process, CBS used as defense a photo of me in a bathing suit, pulled from my own Instagram, as if this suggested I deserved or was not offended by the sexual harassment I experienced.
[From The Boston Globe]
She ends her story by shrugging off the claim that her settlement was “hush money,” like she was screwed ten different ways with how she had to file suit and submit to arbitration contractually and all of that. She comes across as so brave, honestly. She also refused to sign on to any deal without a guarantee that CBS would hire “an individual trained in sexual harassment compliance to monitor Weatherly and the show in general.” I wonder if that’s still happening now that Les Moonves is gone? I wonder if Bull will continue now that Les Moonves is gone? One last thing: as part of her settlement agreement, she asked for a meeting with Steven Spielberg, whose Amblin Entertainment coproduces Bull. She notes that after all of this went down, she saw Spielberg wearing his Time’s Up pin at the Golden Globes this year and she assumes that Spielberg would want to make changes to Bull.

Something that’s happened over the past year: whenever anyone compares the Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex, the Keen Defenders always say something about how Kate is “the future queen,” like that’s the end of the argument. I’ve also noticed that the Keen Defenders HATE the comparisons… unless Future Queen Kate comes out favorably. Anyway, People Magazine’s cover story this week is all about Meghan and Kate and whether they’re really at war with each other. “Future Queen Kate” makes an appearance in this piece, so take it as you will. Some highlights:
Meghan & Kate are modern women who are changing the monarchy: Since Meghan officially joined the royal family with her May wedding to Harry, there has been a shake up in its synergy. But many believe the shift was bound to happen. “Wives do change the dynamic, and they both have very strong wives,” a palace insider tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “If you bring two independent-minded women from the real world into the royal world, they are going to want to have an impact.” And if that means ruffling some feathers among the palace establishment? “Some feathers need to be ruffled.”
The Sussexes moving away from Kensington Palace: “[The move] will be the best thing for all of them,” says a family friend. “Like Meghan and Kate, Harry and William have totally different roles. But the brothers will always come together because they are Diana’s sons.”
Meghan is still trying to find her footing: The Duchess of Sussex is still struggling to find her footing as a member of the royal family, several sources tell PEOPLE. “The most difficult job in the royal family is to work with Meghan’s ambitions and make them realizable,” says another insider.
But Kate has established her position: Meanwhile, Kate has established her place as a future queen and doting mother. “They are very different characters,” says the family friend.
Meg & Kate are both strong: However, both Meghan, 37, and Kate, 36, are exceedingly capable of owning the spotlight. “An ordinary woman is not going to get to become a princess,” says the palace insider. “There is a necessary strength of character and ambition and single-mindedness. It takes someone really strong. That is Kate and Meghan.”
[From People]
Whatever, this reads to me like Cambridge propaganda, in that Kate’s “new image” is that she was ALWAYS this capable, amazing, strong and Future Queen Realness. Before Meghan came around, Kate’s image was “shy” and “introverted” and “she just wants to be a middle-class mother and wife and she doesn’t want attention.” The shifting goalposts of Kate’s image have always been fascinating to me, and this new Strong, Confident, Capable Kate image seems to have been developed directly as an answer to Meghan’s entrance onto the scene. Now, all that being said, the story here isn’t *just* about Kate and Meghan – the root of this sister-in-law drama has always been Harry and William’s struggling brother-bond.

I love Timothée Chalamet. I truly think he’s The Actor of His Generation. I’m still mad that he lost the Oscar for his role in Call Me By Your Name. But Timothée is quietly building up his CV with incredible work. His latest film is Beautiful Boy, and Timothée seems like a shoo-in for back-to-back Oscar nominations. His performance has already gotten him a Golden Globe nomination and a SAG nomination, and a handful of critics’ awards and noms. Do you think he’ll win this year, given that he’s being nominated in the supporting category? I don’t know. But I hope he wins *something* because, as I said, I love this kid. Anyway, Chalamet chatted with People Magazine about his film and whether there’s a “message” at the center of it:
“Our hope is that it’s not a glorification of drugs or a warning against the glorification of drugs because that’s not what the movie’s about. It’s not about, ‘Hey don’t do this thing.’ The ‘don’t do drugs because they will ruin your life’ narrative, which is very true and very important to know, is out there as effectively as it should be, so this movie tried to address things around it and not that direct message. It’s supposed to portray David and Nic’s story as a firsthand warning of how addiction can ruin one’s life in the personal context, but perhaps more eye-opening, the movie shows how devastating it can be to everyone around the addict… That’s the goal in having the high schools there, for the prejudices around use and addiction be re-examined.”
[From People]
I haven’t seen Beautiful Boy yet, so I’m not going to speak to its message and whether this is a scary after-school special about drug-usage. I believe Chalamet when he talks about the message being a more personal one, about what drug addiction looks like close-up, and the stigmas about what kinds of people are drug addicts.
Also: Timothee and Lily-Rose Depp are still happening. They were seen out on a date in New York the other day. They apparently shared a creme brûlée. BRUH ORDER TWO.

90 Day Fiance stars Paul and Karine Staehle are expecting their first child together. The couple couldn’t be more excited. After going through a few rough times, they are getting along great. Now, Karine is showing off her baby bump and the fans love seeing it. She isn’t afraid to bare it all on her Instagram.
It has been reported recently that they are back in Brazil together. Paula and Karine keep going back and forth between her country of Brazil and the United States. It does look like they still haven’t found a way to live together full-time. This has to be hard on the couple. Hopefully, they can figure out a way to fix it before their baby is born. It would be great for the child if both parents can be around. Jon and Rachel are also doing the long-distance relationship and have a child.

As you can see, Karine Staehle has an adorable baby bump already. She is already 25 weeks along. This means she is entering her third trimester and things are looking great for her. Karine is due to have her baby in March of 2019. She has just a few short months left until she will be a mom for the first time.
It was also recently revealed that the cameras were following around Paul and Karine. It looks like they are filming a new season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After. The couple hasn’t admitted that they are filming again yet, but it does look that way. Hopefully, they will share soon. If they are filming, then the cameras should still be around when the baby is born and be able to film the end of her pregnancy.
Paul and Karine aren’t going to be updating much on their social networks right now. Paul shared he couldn’t and made it sound like it might be because they are filming. He later took down the post. The fans really do want to see how Karine looks pregnant and also get news about when their baby is born.
What do you think about Paul and Karine Staehle? Let us know in the comments below if you feel like this two are going to work. Don’t miss new episodes of 90 Day Fiance when they air on Sunday nights on TLC. Right now it is all new couples, but hopefully, the next one is all about the past couples.
