Kate Middleton Feels "Imprisoned" in London, Source Says - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 04 Aug 2014 06:30 AM PDT

According to royal insiders, Kate Middleton and Prince William are moving out of Kensington Palace in favor of a more modest home at Anmer Hall.

Though there's been no official announcement yet, it's believed that Will and Kate have already begun the process of abandoning their lavish London digs in order to escape from constant media attention and allow Will to pursue his career as an air ambulance operator.

The Cambridges' move has received mixed reactions in the UK, where many believe Will is not only shirking his royal duties, but has wasted tax payer dollars by spending millions renovating Kensington.

Early rumors indicated that the relocation was the Duchess' decision - a result of Kate's frequent clashes with the Queen.

According to a recent report in The Daily Mail, however, Kate has been pushing Will to leave London, but not for the reasons we initially thought:

"William and Catherine are not pavement people," a source tells the tabloid.

"They prefer the countryside. They can't wait to move to Anmer Hall...it's going to be their family home. They enjoy the quiet life they can have their, and feel imprisoned at [Kensington] Palace."

The source goes on to say that Kate grew to despise the paparazzi in London, and particularly hated how much attention the press devoted to her frequent shopping sprees. 

In addition, the insider claims that many of Will and Kate's "posh" friends live near Anmer and the royal couple is looking forward to participating in the low-key party scene of rural Norfolk.

Michael Strahan Ends Engagement to Nicole Murphy, Enters Pro <b>...</b>

Posted: 02 Aug 2014 11:30 AM PDT

New York Giants football legend and morning talk-show personality Michael Strahan and his fiancee of five years, Nicole Murphy, called it quits Friday.

The split was an amicable one as their busy careers ultimately doomed the seven-year love affair for the beloved Live With Kelly and Michael host.

"They love each other very much, but with the distance and work schedule it has been hard to maintain the relationship," Strahan's rep confirms.

Strahan, 42, and Murphy, 46, a model and star of VH1's show Hollywood Exes (her ex being Eddie Murphy) started dating in 2007 and got engaged in 2009.

The former duo had nine children between them, five of them Murphy's by Eddie. Strahan has four kids from two ex-wives, Jean Muggli and Wanda Hutchins.

The lovebirds' careers turned them into a bi-coastal couple, as Strahan spends most of his time in New York while Murphy travels back and forth to L.A.

Because of their hectic schedules, the two were thinking about eloping.

"We might just have to run off and elope," Murphy told talk-show host Wendy Williams in April. "We've been busy though, this has been crazy."

"The man's got 20 jobs right now," Murphy said. "He's just busy."

Too busy, it turned out, as they announced the breakup Friday.

Strahan became almost more high profile since he retired from the NFL after the 2007 season, when he helped lead the Giants to the Super Bowl title in his last game.

That legacy will be enshrined permanently in the Pro Football Hall of Fame this evening, when New York's #92 receives the highest honor in his sport.

Michael played 15 seasons at defensive end, recording double-digit sacks in six, including 2001, when he set the single-season record of 22.5.

He finished with 141.5 sacks, the fifth-most in NFL history. He made seven Pro Bowl teams and ended his career with his first and only championship.

Naya Rivera and Big Sean called it quits while rumors that he cheated took the celebrity gossip blogosphere by storm.

Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult: Dating?! - The <b>Hollywood Gossip</b>

Posted: 01 Aug 2014 01:30 PM PDT

Well, that was fast. The same day that E! News confirmed that it's over between Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult, J-Law's ex was spotted on what appeared to be a dinner date with Kristen Stewart!

Stewart and Hoult are filming a movie entitled Equals in Tokyo, and they were reportedly spotted getting awfully friendly with each other during a sushi dinner.

No word on whether or not KStew was the cause of Nicholas and Jen's breakup, but she's certainly not above seducing her non-single co-stars, right, Rupert Sanders and Liberty Ross?

Early reports indicate that Hoult broke up with Lawrence unexpectedly, so while we hate to jump to conclusions, we'd say there's certainly a possibility that Nicholas became smitten with his co-star and dumped Jen from afar.

Yes, it's hard to imagine anyone playing J-Law like that, but Kristen's got a strange power over men.

Fortunately, revenge is easily within Jen's grasp. Kristen's ex has, Robert Pattinson, has said that he "loves" Lawrence in recent interviews. 

We're predicting a Lawttinson hook-up some time in the near future. It would be a major upgrade for both parties! 

Kristen's certainly no slouch (though she does tend to slouch), but have you seen Jen lately? Go for it, Rob!

Wow. That's the only word that's really necessary when gazing upon this Jennifer Lawrence photo.

Kate Upton "Fat" Photos Spark Pregnancy Rumors - The <b>Hollywood</b> <b>...</b>

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 11:53 AM PDT

Though she may be the living embodiment of female perfection, Kate Upton had to fight her way into the world of modeling and has been the subject of bizarre body-shaming ever since.

Recently, Upton discussed her curves and the euphemisms that critics have used when discussing her voluptuous figure. (Pro tip: Don't call Kate "healthy" to her face.)

That interview proved to be remarkably well-timed, as photos of Kate shopping with fellow model Lily Aldridge that surfaced today have led to increased speculation that Kate has packed on some pounds recently

Some have even suggesting that she's followed in the footsteps of her pregnant older sister:

Has Kate put on some pounds? Some are even going so far as to suggest she's pregnant.

"Kate Upton Prayed To Be Curvy, She Can Stop Now," read a headline on one website.

Internet comment boards have since featured even more hateful attacks:

"How this cow ever got to fame is not entirely a mystery," wrote one commenter. "How she stayed there so long is."

Amidst the insults and implications that Kate slept her way to the top there are occasional defenses of Kate coming from "fans" who claim she hasn't gotten fat, but is simply looking a little heavier and sporting a baggy dress because she's expecting.

One tabloid claims that Kate was recently spotted toasting with water on a dinner date with boyfriend Justin Verlander, thus fueling rumors that the couple is soon to start a family.

Our official opinion? We're guessing she's not pregnant, we know she's not fat, and we're pretty sure she's the hottest thing on two feet:

Michael Johns Dies; Former American Idol Finalist Was 35 - The <b>...</b>

Posted: 02 Aug 2014 01:55 PM PDT

Michael Johns, a singer who finished eighth on American Idol in 2008, passed away yesterday from a probable blood clot in his ankle.

He was 35 years old.

Johns, Michael

Johns released an album ("Hold Back My Heart") in 2009 and married Stacey Vuduris in 2007. The couple did not have any children.

A rep for the singer's fansite tweeted the sad news earlier today, writing online:

"It is with a heavy heart and inconsolable sadness that we confirm the passing of our friend Michael Johns."

Sources say Johns visited a doctor due to pain in his ankle on Thursday, but was sent home undiagnosed. His body was then found unresponsive on a friend's sofa the following day.

We send our condolences to his family members and loved ones.

Philip Seymour Hoffman passed away at the age of 46. He was found with a needle in his arm and had a history of drug abuse.

Nick Viall Letter to Andi Dorfman Revealed: What Did He Say <b>...</b>

Posted: 29 Jul 2014 02:30 PM PDT

On The Bachelorette's After the Final Rose ceremony Monday night, emotional runner-up Nick Viall finally got his coveted face time with Andi Dorfman.

The 27-year-old beauty, who got engaged to Josh Murray on the ABC hit's finale, had rebuffed two attempts by Nick to meet up since the show ended.

Viewers were shocked when Nick, on live TV, asked Andi why she "made love" to him if she wasn't in love, a move Andi called "below the belt."

While that was (understandably) the water cooler moment of the episode, one major question remained unanswered: what was in the note he wrote her?

Andi Dorfman and Nick Viall on The Bachelorette. What might have been.

Andi did read the now-infamous letter the sales account executive from Chicago wrote to her and tried to hand-deliver at the Men Tell All taping.

The producers decided to post the letter in its entirety on the show's Facebook page after the finale aired last night, a move Viall isn't upset about.

"I was in no way ashamed of what was in the letter," Nick said today.

"I knew by giving it to her it was a possibility and I accepted that."

As viewers saw - and The Bachelorette spoilers predicted - Nick was indeed pining for her long after he lost out to Josh. Heck, Nick is still not over her.

Here's what Viall had to say about their breakup, their relationship, and how he still yearned for a second chance and envisioned his future with Dorfman:

Andi,

You lit me up.  You made me feel those things that people go a lifetime to find, and I feel like I made you feel the same.  I truly hoped we would have made it into the real world, where there would be no arbitrary dead-line, where those stresses that came with that environment would have melted away, where we could have had the goofy, fun, exciting relationship I know we could have.  What we had was real to me, and it was amazing.

The Bachelorette Clip - The Note

I fully realize that in the end I could have been wrong about what we had.  While it's hard to accept, I totally realize that it's a possibility.  With that being said, when I think about the relationship that we had, very few things in my life have felt more real.

I think about that moment when you ended things and what you said to me.  I believe you when you said something didn't feel right with us when you woke up that morning, but I wonder if what didn't feel right was really about us and our relationship.  I wonder if it would have been different if that night you thought about us with your heart and not with your head.  Let's just call it what it was--our relationship was very much the road less traveled. 

I totally get that all the passion, intensity, and connections that we had were accompanied by fear and sometimes discomfort. There is a reason why very few are willing to take the road less traveled. It can be scary, challenging, and risky, but if you have the courage to take it, it usually ends up being amazing.

That is one thing that has bothered me the most--when you said you know you could have a good life with me, you just don't think you could have a great one.  The thing is, if you were to go back and think of every moment that we spent together, the first time we met, our first date, our "wow" moment in New England, our time in France, everything about Venice, our walk in Belgium, that moment in the monastery, the first time I told you I loved you and everything about that day and night, and the adjectives to describe those moments, many words come to mind

The Bachelorette Clip - Nick Viall on After the Final Rose

Words like exciting, passionate, intense, tingling, romantic, sexy, easy, and great.  You could even say scary, nerve-racking, frustrating, and challenging.  You could say all of these are words you could use to describe us, but I doubt very much you would think of those moments and the word "good" would ever come to mind.

I am not going to say that if by some miracle you changed your mind and were willing to give us a shot that we would definitely make it.  I don't know that.  I think that if we were willing to trust each other, be totally vulnerable with one another, and follow our hearts, we would have a great chance.  What I could promise you is that if we did make it, we would be anything but good.  It would be exciting, sometimes even hard, but definitely great.

There is a reason why I asked you if you ever had your heart broken.  I wanted to know if you have ever "put it on the line" enough to truly have a chance at something special.  To me that is what it's all about.  A lot of things about us scared me.  I really didn't know if we would make it, but I was willing to put it all on the line for us because I truly believed the connection we had was incredibly unique and special.  To me, if there is no risk of being totally crushed and heartbroken then there is no way it can be great.

I realize I have to move on and I mean it when I say that if you're truly happy with your decision and I haven't been a thought on your mind, then I want that happiness to continue for you. If I have to move on, I will look to find amazing with someone else know that some day I will.  I just know I would much rather turn my life upside down and risk it all to have amazing with you.

The one that started it all: Brad Womack rejected Jenni Croft on his season finale, and looked poised to propose to fan favorite DeAnna Pappas ... who he ALSO rejected!
