Royal baby watch!

Now five days past her April 23 due date, Kate Middleton is patiently waiting with her husband Prince William and their 21-month-old son Prince George at Kensington Palace in London, England.

William’s brother, Prince Harry, will not be present for the baby’s birth as he returned to Australia Monday to continue military training.

We last saw the Duchess of Cambridge, 33, at the Stephen Lawrence Centre in South London, England on March 27.

Since then, the expectant mum has been laying low while awaiting the arrival of her second child.

According to Us, the royal couple sent ten cups of tea and two boxes of Danish pastries and croissants to a group of super fans camped outside of the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in London.

Here are some photos of Kit Harington in London yesterday, going into a performance of David Mamet’s American Buffalo, which is currently being performed by John Goodman, Damian Lewis and Tom Sturridge. I guess Kit just fancied seeing a play.

If you’ve been watching the new season of Game of Thrones, the following interview will be somewhat interesting to you, as it’s just Kit talking about what’s going on with Jon Snow on the Wall. If you haven’t been watching then… SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS.

Jon Snow has actually seen his position in The Night’s Watch strengthened following the battle with the Wildlings and Stannis’s occupation of The Wall. Jon Snow was elected the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch and on Sunday night’s episode, Jon Snow killed a douchebag. Jon Snow the character seemed to have somewhat mixed feelings about it, and as it turns out, Kit Harington had mixed feelings about playing that scene:

In the episode, “High Sparrow,” the newly elected Snow was publicly challenged when cowardly schemer Janos Slynt refused a direct order. Snow wanted Slynt to take charge of Greyguard (an abandoned castle located along The Wall) and fortify the position. Slynt repeatedly refused, so Jon Snow had Slynt hauled out to the Castle Black courtyard where he personally beheaded him.

“There’s a great juxtaposition there from when [in season 2] Jon’s captured Ygritte and he knows he should kill her but he can’t do it because he’s too good of a person,” Harington tells EW. “He had that moment again here. He’s thinking: ‘Can I kill a man in cold blood?’ And this time he does it. That’s a big change for Jon.”

Harington also pointed out that Jon is getting some justice for his father Ned Stark in that scene, even though he doesn’t know it (since Slynt was leading the King’s Landing City Watch, and betrayed and arrested Ned, in season 1). “I feel like somehow Jon knows, somehow deep down, that Slynt is an unjust man who’s done bad things and that’s what gives him the power to do that,” he says.

Yet filming the scene was difficult. Videos of Islamic fundamentalists from ISIS beheading prisoners were featured frequently in media reports late last year while Thrones was in production. Harington says this real-life horror made pretending to behad a prisoner in front of a camera more uncomfortable.

“It felt really dark because of the current news, what was going on in the news at the time,” Harington says. “And I’m doing this on camera. It really didn’t sit well.”

Harington is quick to point out he doesn’t believe Thrones should not have done the scene. “You can’t shy away from horror in drama and the things that you see on the news ever day,” he says. “But to have Jon doing it—whatever the right or wrong reasons he’s doing it—this is a character I love and he’s very good in this story, and to have him committing this murder in cold blood, that for me was the most controversial bit this season.”

I realize that it’s probably not a good idea for an actor to say “OMG, I love fictionally beheading people, it’s amazing.” But I’d like less angst with this one – I thought Jon Snow was completely justified in beheading Janos Slynt for cowardice and disrespecting the chain of command. But hey, I’m really enjoying the hardcore “gothic” feel of this season. It’s so moody and horrifying.

Kristen Stewart covers the June issue of UK Harper’s Bazaar. She’s wearing Chanel. It’s exquisite, this outfit, but it looks heavy. And stressful. For a photo shoot, fine. No one is comfortable on a photo shoot. But imagine bopping around in this? Can’t be relaxing.

Battle Creek star Josh Duhamel was photographed with son Axl, 19 months, in Santa Monica, Calif. on Monday (April 27). After lunching with a friend, the father-son duo strapped on their helmets for a bike ride.

In an adorable set of shots, the Las Vegas alum, 42, is seen attempting to show his boy how to do a ‘thumbs up’ for a photo opp.

On Friday, Josh and Axl stepped out with mama, Black Eyed Peas frontwoman Fergie, for a fun park playdate.

Josh has been busy filming the upcoming thriller, Beyond Deceit.

Meanwhile, Fergie is working on her second studio album, tentatively scheduled for a 2015 release. The first single off of that collection, L.A. LOVE (La La), was released back in Sept. 2014.

Princess Beatrice did a rare “royal work” public event yesterday. She officially opened a new classroom at the Maple Hayes dyslexia school in Lichfield. Dyslexia is a cause close to Beatrice’s heart – she is dyslexic, and she’s been an advocate/patron with a dyslexia charity for a while. I always wonder about the timing of some of these events – like, did Beatrice want to do this opening specially on this day because she thought it would be unlikely that Duchess Kate would steal her thunder? On this particular instance, I doubt it. There’s no way Beatrice would have known that the world would be still waitying for Kate to give birth.

Unfortunately for Beatrice, this rare public event comes after months of criticism for her lay-about and vacation-happy existence. A few weeks ago, The Daily Mail went through their recent archives and figured out that Beatrice had gone on no fewer than 11 vacations in six months’ time, all while being unemployed. Team York freaked out at all of those reports too – Team York claims that Beatrice is being thrown under the bus for some kind of nefarious purpose. Of course, that hasn’t stopped her from going on a few more vacations. The appearance on Monday came after she returned to England after a jaunt to Florence, Italy.

As for the criticism and the decidedly anti-York bent of the UK press these days, Beatrice really is going to pull the trigger on moving out of the country. People Magazine’s sources claimed last week that Beatrice is “close to confirming” a job at a Manhattan private equity firm. Which will mean that Beatrice and Eugenie both will be New Yorkers for a while – Eugenie still works for the auction house Paddle8 and by all accounts, she enjoys New York a lot. Beatrice’s boyfriend is in NYC now too – Dave Clark left Virgin and now he’s working for Uber. So… the Yorks are mostly out of England. Now if only the Cambridges would step up, right?

Expectant mama Maci Bookout celebrated her baby shower on Sunday (April 26) and shared a fun photo via Instagram.

“Had a wonderful shower yesterday celebrating Baby Jayde! Thanks to everyone that was a part of it. Jayde is already such a lucky little lady! #babymoney #JC,” the Teen Mom OG star, 23, captioned the group shot, featured her in a strapless pink dress.

The Tennessee native and her boyfriend Taylor McKinney – who expect daughter Jayde to arrive in June – announced her second pregnancy in an episode of the MTV reality series.

Maci is also mom to son Bentley, whom she welcomed in 2009 with her ex Ryan Edwards.

During Monday’s episode of Teen Mom OG, it was revealed that Farrah Abraham has officially returned to the show. And as it turns out, Maci is not pleased.

“If this is true, I’m done,” Maci declared on the show. “I’m not doing this anymore. I’m not going to have my 6-year-old son on a show with someone who did porn.”

And Taylor McKinney weighed in on the matter, adding, “Everything that [Maci]’s trying to build and the message that she’s trying to portray — that being a young mother is hard — she feels like every time she takes a step forward in that, being linked to Farrah it takes her two steps back.”

Maci added: “I’m actually really mad. My feelings are hurt. This is bulls—t. I’m not doing it. You’re not going to talk me into it. There’s no discussion. This is it. I’m pissed off. I’m really, really mad. As far as I’m concerned, you guys can leave now. This is over. I’m done.”

Dear Gossips,

If you were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, seriously, would you want to be on Fuller House? Everyone was talking yesterday about how John Stamos put them on blast for claiming to not know about the new show when they really did know about the new show and just didn’t want to come r…
