I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

Last week Katharine McPhee gave birth to her five-times married, twice her age husband, David Foster’s, child, and now she’s out again to tell y’all that, while she loves her serial divorcing husband, she was initially worried about how the public would view their age gap:

“We all have the ability to label things and to look at something for the way that it looks or face value and make a judgment. So I totally get the judgment initially, but things are never as they appear, things are never exactly as they appear and I’m in love with our love story and that’s all that matters … The perception of what people try to create, especially with women, it’s always the woman’s fault. It’s the woman who wants to be with the older man because he has money and he’s had success and she wants this, that, I mean, our story’s been the complete opposite.”

Wait. Is she suggesting that she has the success and the money and that’s why Foster married her?

Stop it, Katherine, marry whomever you want, and have their child. But just know that it looks odd with your five-times married double your age hubby, and know that when you’re seventy-something and decide to marry a thirty-year-old man, it’ll look just as odd.

Also last week, Alec Baldwin, actor, blowhard, husband to a woman who fakes her ethnicity, quit Twitter, for the third time, after being Twit-shamed  for tweeting about Gillian Anderson’s British and American accents.

He wrote, “Switching accents? That sounds…fascinating,” obviously thinking it makes what his wife has done her whole life sound reasonable. Alec announced his Twitter departure in a 10-minute-long Instagram video rant, being sure to mention he was a big Gillian fan, and his tweet was actually very high-brow “irony” that went over the heads of the entire world.

Well, now Gillian is speaking, and addressing the kerfuffle over accepting her Golden Globe for The Crown with an American accent:

“I don’t have social media on my phone so I wasn’t [aware]. A couple people texted to say that something was going on. I didn’t pay any attention to it because it’s just something that I live. I grew up between two countries and so depending on who is in my ear is which direction my accent goes, so I’m so used to it that it’s kind of old news for me.”

Gillian was asked if Baldwin reached out to her:

“I haven’t heard from him. It doesn’t matter. It’s so not a newsworthy item, but I’m sad that it’s caused him so much distress.”

The shade! Though the distress was that Gillian, who has lived in both England and America all her life shouldn’t be taken to task like Baldwin’s wife, who claimed she was Spanish, born and raised, changed her name, albeit not legally, and pretends not to know how to say cucumber in English. Baldwin’s distress is that his wife was outed as a liar.

I love Gillian’s dig that she isn’t bothered by Alec’s rant because she doesn’t live in the social media world.

So, Piers Morgan, once thought to be England’s Larry King, walked off his chat show gig in the wake of the Harry and Meghan interview and his assertion that Meghan Markle is just a plain liar and, well, he knows that for a fact.

And he wants y’all to know he didn’t dash off your tellys the  Ofcom, the British equivalent to the FCC, has launched an investigation “after more than 41,000 people wrote in to complain” about Piers’ comments about Meghan’s mental health struggles.

No he did it because Meghan lies … like the time she met Piers for drinks and chats, and then, after their date, she took off in a cab for a party where she met a Hot Ginger Prince, fell in love and married him and never called Piers Morgan back, even though his was sitting bedside in his nighty waiting for that call.

Sad little man. Meghan didn’t like him so he’s taken every single chance he can to not only bash her but make light of her disclosure about depression and suicide.

Pig, that Piers.

Prince William broke his silence this week regarding Harry and Meghan’s interview with Oprah, specifically the part about being asked what color their son might be. And while Bill admitted that he hadn’t spoken to Harry—though he says he will—he was firm when asked about the most damaging claims made in the interview that the family’s treatment of them was racially motivated:

“We’re very much not a racist family.”

First off, Bill, neither one of them said the “family” was racist, they said they were questions asked of them regarding the as yet-to-be born Archie’s skin color; there was also the notion that Archie, the son of a Prince would not be given a royal title, and as such, would have no royal protection.

Really? Even Fergie and Andrew’s offspring were given titles, but not the baby of a Prince and his biracial wife? Sounds like, while it may not be the whole family, someone in the family is an ignorant ass.

I think it’s Chuck, even though Betty Windsor, in her brief statement on the interview, said the “issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning,” but politely said that “recollections may vary.”

Which is kinda what racists say when they get busted being racist.

  2. If David Foster were just another old retired geezer in a seniors home living on a pension, I doubt very much if Katherine McPhee would have fallen for him, no matter what his many, many charms might be. As you so often say -- "it's all about the coins."

  3. I think a lot of us are wishing - nay WILLING - for that unnamed Royal to be Archie's great-uncle, Prince A., bosom-pal to the late, unlamented Jeffrey E. That would surely and decisively put the cap on his Royal 'career'. Sadly, that personage is prob'ly too far removed from the current focus to have come out with such an insensitive personal remark, though still poss. If only he could be kept down for good - every bit as much as Peer's Organ deserves, who just will not stop popping back up like a bad penny.

    And as for that McPhee woman [I use the term advisedly] - "I'm in love with our love story" ? Nah. You're in love with yourSELF - POTUS 45-style!

  5. My money is on Camilla. Or Andrew. Anything that doesn't bring attention that he raped girls with Jeffrey Epstein.

  6. Little Willy and Katy give me the heeby-jeebies and don't even mention Chaz and Horse Face (see here http://www.eclectech.co.uk/camillaqueen.php). The royal family are a waste of UK taxpayers' money (just like Bozo the clown of PMs). The whole Saxe-Coburg Gotha clan are a pustule on the face of the nation.

    As for trophy wives; most woman have a better sense of self-worth than to need a trophy husband. A number of my friends have partners younger than they are but it's not because they need their egos boosting. In many cases the trophy partner (male or female) is there for the money.

  7. Katharine McWho with the five-times married husband who married her for her money? Can I get any more tired of these narcissistic idiots?

  9. Oh dear, I really worry for the youth of next generation if it's filled with idiots with the likes of these.

    With exception to Gilliam Anderson. I have always loved her. And she as excuse to use to accents

    And Piers Morgan infuriated me over his fat mouth!!! That dumb fuck. I saw an interview where a black lady was telling him straight. He couldn't understand what the queen and royal family did wrong? She explain he's nuts if he doesn't think it's odd the queen and family would not over look the possibly of a babies look and skin color, but could overlook and except Prince Andrew in the family to a degree, after having sexual relations with minor woman and friending a sex trafficker. After this, the Royal family can go fuck off...may they suffer. And last I heard in ana article, it may have been that old fuck Phillip who made the crack. He has room to talk. Get in your coffin.

  10. Sorry Bob, but when Charles becomes king THEN Archie can be given the title "Prince". While the Queen is still alive it's at her prerogative for the great grandchildren to be given that title. Once Archie becomes grandchild of the king (i.e. Charles hits the hot seat) then he becomes prince. Not that I care for any of them actually (even less for Piers Morgan) but there are so many holes in that bloody interview!

    Cut Queen Beth some slack. Apparently her retirement plan didn't work out, so she has to keep working. And, possibly with the exception of Princess Anne, all those kids never seemed to have left home.

  12. Sorry meant to add, Will's kids get the title prince or princess because they are directly in line for the throne. The other great-grandkids - nope. And as for her having her passport taken away, I believe she went overseas about 20 times since she married into that family. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a royalist, but I can't believe some of the stuff that came out of that interview. How she wasn't "allowed" to get mental health counselling when Harry went through it for years after his mother died and how he, Wills and Kate were patrons of the mental health organizations. I really think that interview will come back to bit them in the backside! There are truths and half truths, but that interview ----- it just chaps my hide!

    He's quite the whiny little bitch, isn't he?

    @Debra
    Nailed it!

    @Raybeard
    I'm still thinking it's Charles since he and Harry aren't speaking. But, yeah, Andy is a good choice, too.

    @AM
    It'sa much better life you have, no?

    @Blobby
    I'm sticking with Charles.

    @Helen
    Nothing wrong with older/younger, but clearly, in the McPhee-Foster case she seems concerned that anyone think she did it for the money.
    I mean, it's not like he's already been married five times or anything.

    @Mitchell
    To answer your question: No.

    @TDM
    Proves money and titles don't make you a better person; if anything, they seem to give youy carte blanche to be a pig.

    @MM
    I loved Gillian's very subtle shading of Alec. Priceless.
    Piers is the English version of IMPOTUS ....a fat annoying fuck who thinks he can say anything, when in fact, he's a little bitch who never got a second date with Meghan because she has a brain and now he's just crying about it.

    @Treaders
    I understand that, but why did they choose to deny Archie a title when they've given every other royal spawn one? It smacks of racism.

    @Anonymous
    Betty was the one royal who came off unscathed in the interview and yet she's the one doing damage control; Williams tired statement amounts to nothing.

    @Treaders
    But Andrew's kids got titles. Princess Anne's children did not because she is not a man and the titles pass through the male royals.
    As for the interview, i gathered Meghan didn't have her passport because The Firm kept is safe for her; I don't think she was suggesting they took it so she couldn't travel. And if you recall, Harry spoke of his counseling after the fact. Meghan spoke about asking for it and being denied.
    And take a look at the racist newspaper headlines about Meghan; she and Kate doing the exact same thing but Meghan gets dogged for it.

  14. I feel for Harry and Meghan, as I think the Royal Family is completely outdated. But the massive holes in her testimony didn't help their cause. Not all the Queens grandchildren have titles, by law Harry's children would never have titles until the Queen dies and Charles ascend to the throne.

  15. @Bob "And take a look at the racist newspaper headlines about Meghan; she and Kate doing the exact same thing but Meghan gets dogged for it." BINGO! I have always noticed that. And on another note, I never got good vibes from Kate. I bet she is a shit stirrer and conniving in a subtle way behind closed gates.

    Meghan never had a chance in this family. Hell, from the beginning the first to treat her nasty was Princess Michael of Kent... who treated her shabbily and even wore a pin of an African man which was insensitive to Meghan's African American roots.

    Then why do Fergie and Andrew's children have titles. They have zero shot at the throne?

    @MM
    I was disgusted by the media's racist coverage.

  17. Katherine McPhee? Nanny McPhee have a kid?

    Gillian has real class and can act rings around Al.

    And you're right about the Racist Royals.

  18. Megan and Harry. I care not. This is not a crisis. A real crisis? Black transgender women being killed right and left and nobody says boo... not the media, not the cops. Okay... this is the last time I write this. But real problems exist. This? Not so much.

    Piers is a bully. Period. He is occasionally on the right side of something, but it's so rare and he's really only about Piers. Tired of narcissistic a-holes taking up space in the world. What has he ever done for anyone else? Ever?

    Gillian is a goddess. Watch Sex Education on Netflix. She's fabu. Adore. In anything.

    So, Katharine was a trainwreck Am Idol runner-up? Anorexic. Mother issues. And did appear in some terrible Fox drama playing... what else? A singer. Well, now she has this gig. Let's hope she didn't sign a prenup. When it's her time to chase 30 year olds? She'll have all that lovely David Foster money to burn. So... smart career move, Katharine. Unless... he's going to produce an album for you and make you the next Celine? EEEEEEEEEEEEK!

    Thanks for the dirt. Nobody digs it like you, Bob. Kizzes.
