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. |
