Donald Trump is Time Magazine?s Person of the Year. He beat out the Princess of Wales, Elon Musk, Kamala Harris and Joe Rogan for the title. It honestly would have been bizarre if Kate was POTY given everything else. Im sure the fact that Kate would have refused an interview was a factor as well! As for the cover? it looks like Trump got a fresh wig, and it?s weird that they shot the photo from below, given Trump?s waddle and double chin (which were photoshopped on the cover). I have very little tolerance for any of this sh-t at this point, but if you want to read his POTY interview, you can see it here. Here?s a short excerpt:
Trump has a ready explanation for his improbable [political] resurrection. He even has a name for its climactic final act. ?I called it 72 Days of Fury,? he says as the interview gets under way. ?We hit the nerve of the country. The country was angry.? It wasn?t just the MAGA faithful. Trump harnessed deep national discontent about the economy, immigration, and cultural issues. His grievances resonated with suburban moms and retirees, Latino and Black men, young voters and tech edgelords. While Democrats estimated that most of the country wanted a President who would uphold the norms of liberal democracy, Trump saw a nation ready to smash them, tapping into a growing sense that the system was rigged.
If America was craving change, it is about to see how much Trump can deliver. He ran on a strongman vision, proposing to deport migrants by the millions, dismantle parts of the federal government, seek revenge against his political adversaries, and dismantle institutions that millions of people see as censorious and corrupt. ?He understands the cultural zeitgeists,? says his 2016 campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, who remains a close adviser. ?Donald Trump is a complicated person with simple ideas, and way too many politicians are the exact opposite.?
Trump also promises to attack the sources abroad that he blames for the country?s malaise: economic interdependence, transnational criminals, traditional allies he sees as free riders on America?s long-running global beneficence. He believes he has tools to fight back: punitive tariffs, bare-knuckle negotiations, and threats to withdraw U.S. military, humanitarian, and economic support. Willing to upend the nation?s postwar role as a bulwark against authoritarianism, he promises to Usher in a foreign policy rooted in ?America First? transactionalism.

Yeah, it?s going to be a real sh-tshow. The American Experiment is over, not with a bang but a whimper. I hope everyone who voted for the Leopards-Eating-Faces Party gets everything they voted for. Beyond that, I hope all of the sensible people out there can find ways to protect themselves and the people they love.

I?ll admit it: I have not been a supporter of Selena Gomez?s relationship with Benny Blanco. I felt like there was another shoe to drop, or that he would turn out to be an idiotic man-child who was wasting her time. But Benny stuck around? for a year, and this is maybe the happiest Selena has been in a while. Benny just proposed, and Selena obviously said yes. She posted photos of her ring a nice-sized marquise diamond on her Instagram with the caption ?forever begins now.?
Congratulations are in order for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco! The singer-actress, 32, announced that she and the producer, 36, are engaged!
She shared the news via an Instagram carousel on Wednesday, Dec. 11, including an up-close snap of her engagement ring and a pic of her and Blanco celebrating their engagement with laughs and a hug.
forever begins now.., she captioned the post.
Blanco is ready to make their union official as he commented, hey wait? that?s my wife.
The bride-to-be also proudly posted a mirror selfie, showing off her new ring even more in her Instagram Stories. During a May appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco told Stern that he could see marriage in his future with the Only Murders In The Building actress.
[From People]
I?m sort of examining my own feelings about why I was sure Benny would end up screwing her over. I think it?s because Selena has historically had a bad picker? But maybe she?s changed or maybe she accidentally found a good guy. Anyway, congrats to them. One great thing is that he seems fine with Selena being ?the star? of the relationship. He doesn?t seem insecure about that at all, which is what she needs.

| | Mail: The Sussexes' Netflix contract might not be renewed because of 'Polo' | | Added 10 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Deranger math is ?Prince Harry & Meghan got a $100 million Netflix contract in 2020, and if Netflix doesn?t renew the contract in 2025, the Sussexes will be broke!? That has been the raison detre of the British tabloids for five years: to somehow engineer ?Harry & Meghan need lose all of their money!? They?re tried screaming about their money, they?ve tried shaming Harry for ?writing a bestseller? and ?selling out his horrible family.? They?ve mocked every single thing Harry and Meghan have done. And they still believe, in their tiny little peabrains, that the Sussexes are just one Daily Mail column away from being broke and having no other option than ?crawling back to the UK and begging to do royal work.? Speaking of, did you know that the British papers published ?bad reviews? of Polo, the Netflix series? Well, now the Mail is speaking to some guy who says, for sure, the bad reviews mean that Netflix won?t renew their contract with the Sussexes, and you know what that means!
UK brand and culture expert Nick Ede has revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussexs Polo may be the nail in the coffin for their 80million Netflix deal. Prince Harry, 40, who served as an executive producer alongside Meghan, 43, promised the series, released globally this week, would showcase the true depth and spirit of the sport as well as the intensity of its high-stakes moments.
However, the five-part docuseries, which centres around the build-up to the polo World Cup in Florida and mainly focuses on players such as Adolfo and Poroto Cambiaso, Timmy Dutta, and Nacho Figueras, struggled to impress critics. Its a reality that Ede considers threatening for the Sussexs Netflix deal, he told MailOnline: The new polo documentary hasnt received good reviews, and this is another foray into producing from Meghan and Harry. All eyes will be on whether the show rates and makes the very important top ten. It could, like the Invictus documentary, start well due to the publics fascination with the pair and with polo potentially. But its more than likely to [fare] badly when up against blockbusters like Black Dove and safe Lindsay Lohan Christmas films.?
This could potentially be a nail in the coffin for their deal with the streaming giant who now use algorithms to make sure their programming is perfect for their subscribers.
The series hardly features Harry and Meghan and has been nicknamed the Nacho show behind the scenes because it focuses primarily on the Argentinian player another drawback for Ede. He said: With very little airtime, we dont get to see the pair much and also hardly any PR around the series, this looks like its Oh No! Rather than Polo!
The brand expert concluded: We are still waiting for the new food show from Meghan and with the hype around this new show simmering rather than boiling, TV bosses will be starting to get worried about their big investment.
[From The Daily Mail]
I haven?t watched the entire series, but Nacho is just providing commentary and explaining the sport and the characters. It?s called color commentary and he?s good at it, but no, it?s not The Nacho Show. Despite the predictable ?bad reviews? in the British outlets, I get the feeling that most haters have greeted Polo with disappointment Harry & Meghan aren?t centered in the series, it?s built around interesting (but barely-known) professional polo players and it?s set up like a standard sports docuseries, meaning sports-centered soap operas and Real Housewife-esque family moments. I?m saying that as a compliment it?s a slick, well-done series which is very watchable. Now, will it be another sports docuseries success like Full Swing, or will it bomb like Break Point? Possibly somewhere in-between Break Point sucked because the people working on it didn?t give a sh-t about tennis or what was actually happening on the tour. Full Swing worked because of the drama, personalities and authentic relationships.
As for the Sussexes? Netflix contract? I?ve seen some suggestions that Harry and Meghan actually want to move on to other things. I don?t know. Given Meghan?s cooking show and how American Riviera Orchard is being built around it, I suspect that Meghan actually wants to stay with Netflix. Whatever happens, I hope they learn how to promote their damn projects.

| | Megan Fox & MGK 'don't have compatible personalities' & don't even live together | | Added 10 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

This week, we learned that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly broke up again over the Thanksgiving holiday here in America. Apparently, she found something on his phone and she broke things off and they haven?t seen each other since. She?s also about six months pregnant with their rainbow baby, and this is not the first time they?ve broken up or broken off their engagement. Megan and MGK?s relationship has always been a giant ball of chaotic drama, and sources told People Mag that Megan and MGK will probably get back together at some point:
Megan Fox was caught off guard by the latest rift in her on-off relationship with Machine Gun Kelly. The Subservience actress and the musician broke up in late November, just weeks after announcing that they are expecting their first baby together.
A source close to Fox says the actress was blind-sided by the recent split, adding, Shes been distraught. Still, Fox is trying to focus on preparing for the baby on the way: Its her priority.
Reps for both stars have not responded to PEOPLEs requests for comment. Fox and Kelly, a.k.a. Colson Baker, met while making the movie Midnight in the Switchgrass together, and got engaged in January 2022. Theyre both already parents: Fox has Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, while Kelly is dad to daughter Casie, 15.
Another source said Fox and Kellys romance has always been bumpy and theres a possibility theyll reconcile soon.
They love each other but dont have compatible personalities. Theyre both hot-heads, dramatic and stubborn. When theyre good together, theyre great, said that source, adding, They will very likely get back together. Theyve split in the past and then worked things out.
Still, they have both been ecstatic about the baby, said that source: They really wanted this baby.
[From People]
Some people mentioned Megan?s previous marriage with Brian Austin Green, and how she left BAG only to get pregnant with Journey and return to BAG for a few more years. Megan has trouble leaving relationships cold it takes her years to finally cut things off for good, so I agree with this source that there?s a very high probability that Megan and MGK will get back together. Meanwhile, TMZ had this interesting report on how Megan bought herself a house even before the breakup:
Megan Fox is sold on taking time apart from former fianc Machine Gun Kelly weve learned the actress has just purchased her own home without the rapper. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Megan and MGK havent actually been living together for the past year. Were told he bought a house a couple years ago and always had a lot of people over which left the Transformers star concerned about safety and resolved to have her own space.
Sources say Megan has been bouncing from rental to rental this past year but is ready to settle down in one place and shes since scooped up a large home, worth about $8 million, in a popular celeb-filled neighborhood in the Los Angeles area. Were told shell be moving in soon. However, dont expect MGK to join her were told Megan purchased the house before she and her baby daddy broke up and there was never a plan for him to move in. The new pad was always just for her.
Sources say Megan and MGK have never been a good match living together so, they ultimately decided it was better to live apart.
[From TMZ]
I?m all for separate spaces, but it?s just like? girl, add it to the list of reasons why you should be done with this guy. It?s not worth all of this! Megan doesn?t want to live with him, she doesn?t trust him around her things, she doesn?t trust him to NOT invite complete randos over, and he?s probably been cheating on her this whole time? Throw out the whole man, for goodness sake.

| | King Charles & Camilla want to host 'one of the biggest family Christmases ever' | | Added 10 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

A few weeks ago, Buckingham Palace clearly gave extensive briefings as to the Windsors? Christmas plans. There were confirmations that the Princess of Wales would join the family for Christmas, as would Prince Andrew. Someone also made sure to tell everyone that Prince Harry and Meghan did not ?receive an invitation? to Sandringham this year, which means the Sussexes will spend their fifth Christmas in a row outside of England. The palace tried and failed to strike a balance between ?the poor, cancer-stricken king wants to be surrounded by family for the holiday? and ?obviously, the king still hates his younger son and Black daughter-in-law!? Anyway, I guess we need to be bashed over the head with that message, because Katie Nicholl had this Vanity Fair exclusive:
The Royal Family are preparing for a ?bumper? Christmas at Sandringham after a year of personal challenges. King Charles will honor the late Queen?s tradition of hosting Christmas at Sandringham in Norfolk and it is expected that around 40 family members will attend this year in what sources are describing as ?one of the biggest family Christmases ever.?
Sources tell Vanity Fair that Kate Middleton and Prince William will be joining the royals despite rumors that they could opt for a more low-key Christmas at Anmer Hall.
?Actually the plan is for them to all be at Sandringham for a very special big family Christmas. William and Catherine and the children will be there. The king and queen want their nearest and dearest with them to celebrate,? a royal source tells Vanity Fair. Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla?s son, revealed in an interview with the Telegraph published Saturday that he has been invited to join the royals for Christmas for the first time and is looking forward to a ?different? Christmas to usual.
King Charles is said to be keen for the royals to conduct a walkabout after church on Christmas Day in what will be seen as a show of unity and togetherness. The last time the royals were seen en masse was on Christmas Day last year. Just weeks later the palace revealed that the Princess of Wales and King Charles were to undergo surgery followed by the shocking news that they had both been diagnosed with cancer. Neither royal has disclosed the type of disease they have been battling.
?It has been a very difficult and challenging time but the feeling is they are over the shock and the worst of it, and everyone is feeling very optimistic about 2025,? adds the insider. ?The king is having ongoing treatment, which he is tolerating very well. When I last saw him he was looking amazing and very excited about the family being together for the festive season.?
?The queen is doing a lot better, she just needs to rest and take things a bit easier,? said the source. ?She is very much looking forward to having some of her family at the Christmas table this year, it is going to feel extra special.?
[From Vanity Fair]
Nah, Queen Elizabeth used to host some huge family gatherings for Christmas, and this feels like Charles trying to copy that and failing miserably. It?s so funny how badly they?ve fked up the messaging on Christmas, one of the most important Christian holidays for the head of the Church of England, you know? Forgiveness, brotherhood, family, togetherness? but the king is too hateful and petty to invite his son. And the credibly accused rapist is invited, as is the king?s former-cokehead stepson.
