I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Boy, those royals are a pissy, petty bunch.

Over the weekend the UK celebrated Remembrance Day, which falls on November 11, to commemorate the end of WWI, and pay homage to the soldiers from wars that followed, like WWII and the Gulf War.

But the Royal Family turns up for Remembrance Day ceremonies on the Sunday prior to the 11th, to lay wreaths at the Cenotaph. And normally that would include Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but since they no longer live in the UK, Harry asked his family if they’d lay a wreath on his behalf.

The family said ‘No.’

Prince Harry. War hero. And since his family is a bunch of pissy, petty self-entitled asshats, Harry and Meghan held their own private wreath-laying ceremony at the Los Angeles National Cemetery. The couple laid flowers at the gravesites of two commonwealth soldiers, one who served in the Royal Australian Air Force and one from the Royal Canadian Artillery. They also placed a wreath at an obelisk in the cemetery that features a plaque that’s inscribed, In Memory of the Men Who Offered Their Lives in Defense of Their Country.

Shame on their family.

Nicole Young and Dr. Dre have been going at it in court over their ongoing divorce. Dre won the battle of paying for Nicole’s security, but not at the increased rate. Small victories, I’m guessing.

So, Nicole wants a big win, and has asked the courts to have Dr. Dre’s legal team tell her about any potential paternity issues he may have hidden from her during their union. Doh. She wants the tea on secret babies that might affect her coin beg.

Luckily, Judge Maury Povich will have the results … right after this message.

Well, Johnny Depp lost his libel suit against The Sun for calling him a wife beater. The good news is that, now, you can call Depp a wife beater and not get sued, while the bad news is that Warner Bros., who’d been hoping a judge would rule differently and they wouldn’t be the studio that hired a wife beater,” will have to make the third Fantastic Beasts movie sans Johnny.

You see, Johnny, so as not to bring wife beater baggage to the film shoot, has resigned from the role. But wipe those tears y’all because Johnny Wife Beater Depp will still get a paycheck.

Johnny has a pay-or-play contract, which stipulates that he gets paid whether or not the film gets made or his role gets recast, or he quits because he lost a libel suit which states he’s a wife beater. And, by quitting, Johnny saved his coins, because has Warner Bros. fired him, he might not have gotten his coins, which is ALLEGEDLY in the eight-figure range.

So, if you’re feeling sort of sorry for wife-beater Johnny … don’t.

I used to think Ivanka was the decent _____ because she was so poised and soft-spoken, but I realize now that was all an act, and she is a complicit, murdering, con artist, grifting criminal just like Daddy.

Fuck her. And that’s why I believe this story, and not Ivanka’s version of it.

The story broke this week that Ivanka and her eunuch husband, Jared, had pooled their children out of DC’s Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School of the Nation’s Capital two weeks before Election Day and three weeks after an outbreak of COVID-19 cases in and around the Superspreader White House. The Kushners took their children to a new school, the Melvin J. Berman Hebrew Academy in suburban Maryland, because Berman offered more in-person classes during the pandemic.

Or were they forced to remove their children because parents at Milton raised concerns that the Kushners were seen at events not complying with the coronavirus protocols that Milton demanded of its parents. And because the school would not tell the parents whether the Kushners had informed the school of the last day of contact between the infected president and Ivanka’s rugrats.

Which makes more sense? The Kushners taking their kids out of  a DC school—close to home—because another school had more in-person schooling, or that the Kushners were asked to remove their children because they cavort with superspreaders, masklessasshats and viral soon-to-be ex-presidents?

Uh huh.

Now, to cleanse the air of the Kushner stink, I will turn to one Gary Sinise. We don’t get a lot of snark about Gary Sinise too much because he lives a quiet life, doing good things for a lot of folks, notably our military veterans.

In fact, this week, for veteran’s day, Sinise, who runs the Gary Sinise Foundation, partnered with Veterans United Home Loans to help some veterans pay off their mortgages. Sinise and Veterans United Home Loans created the “Make It Mean More” campaign on Twitter, where for every “thank you for your service” tweet sent out, $25 was donated to pay off a veteran’s mortgage.

And Gary Sinise actually made many Zoom calls to veterans letting them know that they were now mortgage-free, and took zero credit for the program, saying he was just delivering good news.

But he does more than that; one of the programs in his foundation builds specially adapted smart homes and modifying dwellings for disabled veterans’ special equipment.

See, there are decent celebrities out there doing wonderful things for others, and asking for no glory, except maybe a donation … which you can give if you want to stop in at the Gary Sinise Foundation

Just sayin’.

  2. There is a difference between Royalty and Nobility.

    Let's see, Disney's cut ties with Depp and Warner's cut ties with Depp. Good.

    Ivanaka Danaka's as morally degenerated as her progenitor.

    Honestly, I've always liked the very quiet Gary Sinise.

  3. the Saxe-Coburg-Gothas (alias Windsors) are a crowd of Germano-Scottish imports with very little to recommend them other than their "exalted" cough, cough, rank. The present queen's mother was an alkie who lived on gin - presumably the fact that she was pickled was an aid in living to 200 years old. The present queen's sister was an alkie too and when she died the queen refused to attend her sister's deathbed. Very few "normal" people are surprised by the way the family behaves. Harry (allegedly NOT the son of the man who cannot wait to be king and god save us when he does) and Meghan are hardly faultless but his brother and his wife are snotty pieces of work. The whole crowd of them (apart from the kids who know no better) are time-wasters and some of them paid by the public purse which is a joke when you think that the queen is one of the 0.01% if no longer the richest woman on the planet.

  4. With the Royal Family, you're either IN or OUT. Harry & Meghan wanted out and they got it.

  6. Was not aware of Gary Sinse's good works. Bravo!

    I wonder what will become of the children when Ivanka and Jared are behind bars, pairing up with their new same-sex life partners? I hope Jared's stud doesn't use lube.

    F Johnny Depp. What in the world happened to him? He used to be cool and interesting and now he's a grosser, uglier Sean Penn. I bet he stinks... and not in a good way.

    Meh. Dr. Dre. Overrated.

    The Royals? Meh. I think they are nothing more than a stodgy reality show now.

    Love your posts. Your newsfeed is always informative and your gossip delicious. Carry on!

  7. I always enjoyed Gary Sinise. Nice to have a bright spot amongst the rest of the garage. And sadly Harry should have just went and did this, not asked his family to do it first. He still reaches to them.

    These poor creatures in this post. Make me wonder who pats them in the head and ties their shoelaces?

    I needed some Gary Sinise after the tripe.

    @Dave
    It's always the quiet ones doing the good deeds, and not because they want the publicity.

    @Helen
    I give Harry and Meghan props for choosing to live their lives outside of that family. It's probably much nicer.

    @Debra
    But I think they're happy being out.

    @TDM
    Yes, Gary is worthy!

    @uptonking
    I like the idea of ______ children being wards of the state while Mummy and Duddy do time.
    You nailed Depp ... not literally, luckily enough.
    Glad to provide a snarky service.

    @MM
    I agree, Harry and Meghan should have said 'Fuck it' and had their own ceremony/

  9. I just passed up all of the ick, and went straight to Gary Sinise. He's always been a personal favorite of mine and it is nice to know that he is such a good person. I think I remember what a good person is, hmmmm.
