To my knowledge, Pedro Pascal has never put a label on his sexuality or spoken about anything other than love and respect for the LGBTQ community. We know he has long-standing friendships with men like Oscar Isaac, as well as long-standing friendships with women like his bestie Sarah Paulson. For red carpets, he usually brings his sister as his date. So? again, he?s never confirmed anything either way and that?s fine, he?s not hiding anything, he?s just not discussing anything. But in the absence of information, something steps into that vacuum. That something is Jennifer Aniston:

| | Millie Bobby Brown still shops at Target and carefully considers large purchases | | Added 8 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Millie Bobby Brown has been very visible lately, and it?s not just because of her new platinum blonde hair. Her movie with Chris Pratt, The Electric State, premiered on Netflix on March 14, which prompted the recent flurry of appearances, including covering the March issue of Vanity Fair. In that interview, Millie ? who married Jake Bongiovi last May when she was 20 and he was 22 ? talked about conversations she and Jake had when they got together. Things like making sure they were aligned on politics, values, and their career and family goals. It seems there?s one area, though, where they agreed to be opposites: money! On a recent episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Millie shared how wildly different financial backgrounds have shaped their contrasting spending habits. While Jake grew up with Bon Jovi money, Millie?s family had very little before she landed Stranger Things. The experience left such an impact that to this day, Millie still shops for basics at Target and Amazon, and carefully considers large purchases.
Millie Bobby Brown still remembers what it was like to have financial insecurity.
The 21-year-old ?grew up with no money? before receiving the life-changing call that she had been cast on Netflix?s ?Stranger Things.? In an appearance on the ?Call Her Daddy? podcast, Brown said that her upbringing has had a profound effect on how she thinks about her finances.
?I have a money thing where I?m very conscious about money,? she said. ?When I do spend money on something, I have to call my parents, I have to think about it, I don?t just buy it right away.?
That?s not because money is in short supply. The ?Electric State? star was reportedly earning $10 million per film as early as 2019 and has a ?ridiculously lucrative? overall deal with Netflix, according to Puck.
But just because she has the money doesn?t mean she has champagne tastes. Compared to her husband Jake Bongiovi ? son of musician Jon Bon Jovi ? Brown said she is very thrifty.
?I?ll be like, ?Oh, I need socks,? and he?ll be like ?Let?s go to Prada,?? she said. ?And I?m like ?Let?s go to Target.??
?He loves to go shopping,? she continued. ?He will refuse to pack a suitcase because he likes to go shopping in the place we?re going. Whereas I like Amazon Basics. I love that.?
Indeed, when Brown wanted to make her first big purchase with her Netflix earnings, she said she needed her parents to encourage her to take the plunge and buy the Chanel sunglasses she had her eye on.
?Brown?s strategy of waiting before making a big purchase is in line with advice from experts. To curb impulse shopping, finance podcaster Glen James recommends employing something called the 1% rule: if you want to make a purchase that?s larger than 1% of your gross annual income, wait at least a day before purchasing it.
The 24-hour cool down period gives you time to sit with your decision and determine if you really want the item.

Was I laughing at baby-faced Jake saying, ?Let?s go to Prada!? for socks? You bet. Though I?m sure my feet would probably cry out ?What have you been doing to us all these years?!? the day I ever get so lucky to don a pair of designer socks, I still say Jake?s lucky to have Millie around to knock some sense into educate him. And I?m not at all surprised their respective financial backgrounds have stuck with them. Kids know their home money situation. My mother and aunt are seven years apart, and they?ve talked to each other a lot about how different each of their childhoods were based on changes in my grandparents? income. For my part, growing up I always took note of the postcard affixed to our refrigerator that said, ?Anyone who lives within his means suffers from a lack of imagination.? So I love it when people (especially women!) talk about money, and will definitely file away that practical tip about waiting a day on a purchase that?s 1% of my gross income. And I?ll pay it forward with a bit of advice that was transformative for me: if you can, try to put 10% of your paycheck into savings. It adds up!
PS ? Wait, did Millie really just reveal that Jake basically buys a new wardrobe for each trip? Oh-oh, livin? on? dad?s royalties.

| | Quinn: Princess Kate often says that she has to treat William 'like her fourth child' | | Added 20 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

In 2023, royal biographer Tom Quinn was promoting Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family. We got several interesting headlines out of that book and Quinn?s promotion, like this story about the Princess of Wales treating Prince William ?like the fourth child because he?s prone to tantrums.? Again, this was 2023, when the royalist press was full of rumors of the Waleses? strained marriage. Quinn also said, at the time, that William and Kate ?do have rows. It?s not a perfect marriage. They have terrific rows. But, where some couples have a row and throw heavy vases at each other, William and Kate throw cushions at each other. It?s always kept under control.? This is like ?sure, they?re violent with each other, but they keep it POSH.? Anyway, Quinn wrote another book called Yes Ma?am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants. In it, he has returned to one of his favorite topics: William is a tantrum-prone child who is ?parented? by Kate.
Kate Middleton is said to be such a major influence on her husband Prince William that she treats him like her fourth child. The claim was made by royal author Tom Quinn, who has written a new book, Yes Ma?am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants. Quinn spoke to hundreds of former and current palace staff members to learn what it?s like to watch over the House of Windsor.
Occasionally, William has little tantrums and irritations if things aren?t done the way he wants them done [as heir to the British throne], Quinn claimed to Fox News Digital. But Kate is very good at managing that in the same way that she manages the tantrums of their three children ? Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. And so, there?s a joke among the staff that Kate treats William as the fourth because he occasionally behaves like one.
According to the book, a member of staff told Quinn, I don?t know where William would be without Kate ? she hasn?t had everything done for her throughout her life, so she calms him down when he gets a bit fractious. She says he sometimes has to be treated as her fourth child!
The insider claimed that Kate?s non-royal upbringing makes her easygoing to work with, and a favorite among staff, in comparison to William and his father. Suits must be pressed and laid out after a period of consultation the night before; shoes must be polished, ties chosen, a staff member claimed to Quinn in his book about looking after King Charles III and his heir. Baths must be run at precisely the same time each day and both King Charles and the Prince of Wales, Prince William, are prone to tantrums if things are not done to their liking.?
?They both get irritated very quickly,? a former member of staff claimed, adding that the king and his heir are used to having things done for them, making them very picky.
People who have everything done for them from childhood tend to be rather spoiled and prone to bouts of irritation because they have no idea how much work is involved in washing and ironing, polishing and sewing when they have never done any of it themselves, the aide claimed, as quoted in Quinn?s book.
In many ways, William has had an emotionally damaging childhood, Quinn explained to Fox News Digital. I don?t just mean because his mother, Princess Diana, died when he was 15, which is enormous in itself. Everyone could understand that that was very damaging to him.
But before that, the split between his parents was very public. All the unpleasantness between his parents was played out on the world stage. Meanwhile, he was looked after by paid staff. For much of that time, it created an adult in William who was very needy.?
?He loved spending time with Kate?s family because, unlike his, they were very warm, very close with each other, very emotionally aware. When Kate and William first got together, William tended to have tantrums if things didn?t go his way because he was still this emotionally needy child who grew up into an emotionally needy adult.
As far as those alleged temper tantrums, they?re less so now, Quinn claimed, thanks to Kate.
[From Fox News]
These are literally the same people who wept in staff closets because Meghan would clearly state a preference or issue a correction. ?Actually, my name is Sussex? and they screamed ?BULLY? at her for years. Meanwhile, Charles and William are throwing full-scale tantrums over bath time. Anyway, I don?t actually think William was or is ?emotionally needy.? I think the ?emotionally needy? tag is preferential to what he actually is a childish, tantrum-prone loser and unfaithful jackass.

| | Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds want people to know that they?re skipping the Met Gala | | Added 20 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I tapped out of the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni legal situation weeks ago because everyone involved was driving me crazy. There?s been an insane amount of positioning in the trade papers, right-wing media and gossip media and I stopped caring it?s my hope that the eventual trial clears some things up, although Blake and Ryan Reynolds spent a good chunk of last week trying to get Baldoni?s lawsuits dismissed.
Meanwhile, I just want to be able to gossip about normal things re: Blake Lively. Like, remember her Preserve lifestyle business/site? Remember the ?Allure of Antebellum? editorial? Good times. I bring up Blake?s pro-Antebellum stance because it?s relevant to this interesting piece of gossip: Blake and Ryan are skipping this year?s Met Gala. TMZ, Us Weekly and People Magazine all got briefed on Blake and Ryan?s decision, which is weird, right? That they would make a point of telling multiple outlets that they would NOT attend this year?s Met Gala? I?m bringing this back to the pro-Antebellum stance because this year?s Met Gala theme is ?Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,? with Monica Miller?s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity being used as the inspo/source material for the theme and exhibit. LeBron James, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, ASAP Rocky and Pharrell Williams are all co-chairs this year. So the couple who got married on a South Carolina plantation doesnt want to go to a Met Gala with such a Black theme, huh??
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds will not be attending the 2025 Met Gala. An exclusive source confirmed the news to PEOPLE, sharing, Blake and Ryan haven?t gone since 2022, when they were co-chairs, and they will not be in attendance this year.
The theme of the 2025 Met Gala, which will be held on May 5, was previously revealed by Vogue as ?Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.? Per the outlet, the exhibit draws inspiration from Monica L. Miller?s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity and will feature garments, paintings, photographs, and more ? all exploring the indelible style of Black men in the context of dandyism, from the 18th century through present day. Miller will serve as a guest curator for the show with Costume Institute Curator in Charge Andrew Bolton.
The 2022 Met Gala marked Livelys 10th appearance at the annual fashion event in New York City. That year, she and Reynolds, 48, served as co-chairs alongside Regina King and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
[From People]
A source close to Blake and Ryan told TMZ that their decision to skip the gala has ?nothing to do with their legal war against Justin Baldoni, cause the decision to pass on the May event was made way before that drama unfolded.? Meaning? they made the decision after the theme was announced last fall??? LMAO. Another unnamed source sniffed to Us Weekly: ?She?s not a Kardashian that goes every year.? Good lord. I just can?t get over how they?re announcing their non-attendance this far in advance, and making sure everyone knows that they decided to skip soon after the theme was announced.

Last week, Vanity Fair published their cover interview with Gwyneth Paltrow. Throughout the piece, she spoke about selling her LA home and moving full-time to Montecito, where she?s owned a home for years. The Montecito part of the interview obviously led to a conversation about Gwyneth?s celebrity neighbors, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Gwyneth said: ?I don?t know Meghan and Harry. I mean, I?ve met Meghan, who seems really lovely, but I don?t know her at all. Maybe I?ll try to get through their security detail and bring them a pie.? When asked specifically about Meghan?s lifestyle show and brand, Gwyneth said that when ?there?s noise about certain women in the culture, I do have, always, a strong instinct to stand up for them?.Everybody deserves an attempt at everything that they want to try.?
I took all of that as a general endorsement of Meghan and WLM. Gwyneth was never going to fall all over herself to show her support, but I thought Gwyneth said the right things to avoid sounding like a Sussex-hater or an unwelcoming anti-feminist. The thing is, since that interview, it does feel like Gwyneth and her friends have taken a few swipes at Meghan. Gwyneth?s longtime friend/trainer and business partner Tracy Anderson did a video for GOOP in which she bitchily noted that she was making a salad in her ?actual kitchen.? Then Gwyneth posted this over the weekend a video in which she made a ?boyfriend breakfast? in Montecito.
