Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Could Be Next to Lose Titles After Prince Andrew: Report

Reading Time: 3 minutes

On Thursday, millions were stunned by the news that Prince Andrew had been stripped of his land and titles by order of his brother, King Charles.

The decision was a result of ongoing controversy surrounding Andrew's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged sexual misconduct.

After years of dithering on the part of the royals, it initially looked as though Andrew would not suffer any consequences.

Now, many are speculating that Charles will continue cleaning house by removing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's titles.

Is this the end of the royal line for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex?

In fact, Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan claims that with Andrew out of the way, Harry and Meghan's days are "surely numbered."

"It is now a question of when. Not if. The sun begins to set over Montecito — permanently," firebrand journalist writes, adding:

"If the late Queen's favorite son can be coldly ejected and stripped of his birthright — if William can have convinced the infamously conflict-averse Charles to renounce his own brother — well, Harry's days as prince and Duke of Sussex are surely numbered.

"As for Meghan? Like Fergie, she would just be collateral damage. An afterthought."

It's odd that the piece is written with such a tone of moral righteousness, considering the author is essentially saying that underage sex trafficking is as bad as moving to a different country.

Yes, for years now, the British tabloid press has been comparing Andrew to Harry and Meghan, even though he (allegedly) committed actual, heinous crimes and they just relocated to California.

Callahan seems positively giddy at the thought of Harry and Meghan losing their royal titles and privileges.

So we have to take her with a grain of salt when she claims that an insider assured her it's really gonna happen this time.

Royal source says Andrew is just the beginning of 'bigger unraveling'

The source tells Callahan that the royals have begun the process of "picking away at the edges [of the family]" and that "a bigger unravelling is coming."

"That bigger unraveling is, to my mind, Harry and Meghan's royal titles, status and honors," Callahan helpfully explains.

"The role William has — to try to forge something sustainable — is now in stark relief. And no, Charles isn't up to that job," the insider continued.

"Once Andrew stops being the convenient cover, then where will people look next?"

Look, it's certainly possible that Harry and Meghan might lose their titles someday — maybe even someday soon.

That doesn't make it any less gross that Maureen Callahan is comparing their situation to that of an accused sexual predator.

Ryan Seacrest’s Dad Passes Away; Beloved Host is “Heartbroken”

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Ryan Seacrest has opened up about a heartbreaking loss.

The legendary host and television personality's father, Gary Seacrest, has passed away after battling prostate cancer.

Seacrest himself confirmed this very sad news in a statement on October 31.

"It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that my loving father peacefully passed away earlier this week," he captioned an Oct. 31 Instagram post. "My mom, sister and I have peace knowing he is in a better place and free of any pain or suffering. We are heartbroken."

Earlier this year, the Wheel of Fortune emcee had revealed that his dad had been diagnosed with the aforementioned disease.

Continued Seacrest in his emotional statement:

"He was a devoted husband for 56 years, an incredible Papa to my niece Flora and my best friend. Dad, you will live in our hearts forever. I love you."

Included alongside Seacrest's social media caption were photos of Gary with his family, including wife Constance Marie Zullinger, Ryan's sister Meredith Seacrest, her husband Jimmy Leach and their daughter Flora Leach.

Later on Friday, Ryan recalled his final moments with Gary during the Friday broadcast of his iHeartRadio show.

"It's so vivid in my mind, but as he said without much strength or energy that he loved us and that he was going to miss us," Seacrest told listeners.

"He looked over at me — and the power in the contact — he said, 'Take care of your mom.' And he said to my sister [Meredith, and her husband,] Jimmy, 'Take care of Flora, my granddaughter.' Then, literally a few seconds later he closed his eyes and said, 'I've got to go.' He knew. He was at peace."

Back on July 21, Seacrest said the following during a segment on On Air with Ryan Seacrest:

"My dad is about 80 years old, and I have a very close relationship with my father. And my father was diagnosed with prostate cancer years ago and started his treatment. And he, it didn't get better. It got worse and it spread. It didn't go well for him."

According to Seacrest, his father's illness took a turn during the most recent season of American Idol.

"I was on an American Idol show live during last season and my sister called me and she said, 'Dad is in the ICU. How fast can you get here?'" Ryan remembered, noting Gary had contracted pneumonia.

"I finished the show. We were almost done. I couldn't even, I didn't even remember what I was saying was on the show. It was, like, robotic at that point."

After flying to his father's bedside, Ryan made sure to treasure of some family memories.

"I watched [my parents] over the weekends send photos of smiling and happiness and being together," he said at the time.

"They've been married for 55 years. And they've got each other. They're just happy to sit together looking at an ocean. I want to share that because I've been holding that in for a long time."

Virginia Giuffre: Family of Late Prince Andrew Accuser Celebrates Royal’s Downfall

Reading Time: 3 minutes

On Thursday, King Charles took unprecedented action by stripping his brother, Prince Andrew, of all royal lands and titles.

The decision comes after years of controversy surrounding Andrew's alleged sexual misconduct.

The most prominent accuser was an American woman named Virginia Giuffre, who claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Andrew while being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein.

Giuffre took her own life in April, but today, her loved ones are celebrating the news that Andrew has essentially been ousted from the royal family.

Virginia's brother Sky Roberts and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts broke down in tears while discussing Andrew's downfall on the BBC show Newsnight.

"This normal girl from a normal family has taken down a prince," Sky said through tears.

The family echoed those comments in a statement to People magazine:

"Today, an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage," they wrote.

"Virginia Roberts Giuffre, our sister, a child when she was sexually assaulted by Andrew, never stopped fighting for accountability for what had happened to her and to countless other survivors like her," the statement continues.

"Today, she declares victory."

News of Andrew's expulsion comes just days after the posthumous publication of Virginia's memoir, Nobody's Girl, in which she recounts the night when she was 17, and Ghislaine Maxwell instructed her to have sex with

"When we get home, you are to do for him what you do for Jeffrey," Virginia quotes Maxwell as saying.

"Back at the house, Maxwell and Epstein said goodnight and headed upstairs, signaling it was time that I take care of the prince, In the years since, I've thought a lot about how he behaved.

"He was friendly enough, but still entitled – as if he believed having sex with me was his birthright."

Virginia first came out with her allegations several years ago, and for a long time, it looked as though the royals would take no action.

But this week, Charles stunned the world with an announcement about his brother's future:

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew," reads the statement issued by Buckingham Palace.

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence."

Andrew has not yet publicly responded to the Palace's decision.

Erika Kirk Criticized For Comparing J.D. Vance to Charlie Kirk Just Weeks After …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

On Thursday night, Erika Kirk addressed a crowd of students at the University of Mississippi.

Before bringing Vice President J.D. Vance onto the stage, the Turning Point USA CEO opened up about her feelings seven weeks after the murder of her husband, Charlie Kirk.

"You guys have no idea how helpful it is to have all of you in my life … you make me feel even more connected to my husband," Erika told the crowd at one point, adding:

"He didn't leave us empty-handed. He built a machine. And all of you are a part of that."

Erika Kirk takes the stage with J.D. Vance

After a speech of nearly an hour, Kirk introduced Vance. And her comments about the vice president have received a fair amount of criticism.

"When our team asked my dear friend, Vice President JD Vance, to speak today, I really prayed on it because, obviously, it's a very emotional, emotional day," Kirk said.

"But I could just hear Charlie in my heart. I could just hear him say, 'Go reclaim that territory, babe.' The battle's already won. God's love conquers. And that's why I'm here today.'"

Kirk went on to say that while no one could "replace" her husband, she saw important "similarities" between Charlie and Vance.

For his part, Vance praised Kirk for his political ability, noting that the podcast host urged the Trump administration not to strike nuclear sites in Iran.

Trump did so, but Vance claims that Charlie was pleased when the plan worked out.

"I really believe that one of the reasons why the president of the United States knocked out the Iranian nuclear facilities, but never got the United States into a protracted military conflict and never lost a single American in a Middle Eastern conflict is because we had the wisdom and the good sense to recognize that the American people are done with American troops dying in unnecessary foreign conflicts … but Charlie Kirk reminded me of that," Vance said.

The crowd responded with chants of "48," a clear endorsement of Vance as Donald Trump's successor in the White House.

There was a wide variety of criticism of the Kirk-Vance event, with some arguing that it's inappropriate for Erika to compare her late husband to another man, and others complaining about the continued politicization of Charlie Kirk's death from those who seek to gain office.

"Publicly simping over another man one month after husband's murder. The American values MAGA wants to preserve," wrote one X user.

"This is sick… it's been barely a month since Charlie passed," another tweeted, alongside a photo of Kirk and Vance embracing on stage.

"Starting with 'no one can ever replace my husband… but JD Vance' is a very deliberate choice," a third chimed in.

"No one will ever replace her husband, though she seems to be giving it a solid try," a fourth remarked.

Neither Vance nor Kirk has publicly responded to the criticism of their onstage interaction.

Prince Andrew’s Daughters Flee UK After He’s Stripped of Land and Titles: …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

On Thursday, King Charles shocked the world when he stripped Prince Andrew of his land and titles as a result of sexual assault allegations.

Andrew had already offered to vacate his titles as a compromise measure.

But apparently, that wasn't enough for Charles, who opted to essentially remove Andrew from the royal family.

The former prince will now go by his full legal name of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Andrew's daughters leave UK amid father's scandal

Andrew's two daughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, will be permitted to keep their titles.

But it seems that they've wisely decided to take a break from the UK as their father's scandal continues to make international headlines.

According to a new report from Page Six, the sisters recently took separate trips out of the country, and it's unclear when they intend to return.

Eugenie was reportedly spotted on a girls' trip to Paris.

Meanwhile, Beatrice has removed herself from the situation even further, and is currently attending the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

It's unclear if these trips were planned before news of their father's demotion came down.

But whatever the case, the sisters are probably happy to be very far from London at the moment.

Charles takes nuclear option to address his 'Andrew problem'

The issue of Andrew's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged sex crimes has been haunting the royal family for years.

(Photo credit should read CHRIS JACKSON/AFP via Getty Images)

In April, Andrew's accuser, Virginia Giuffre, took her own life at the age of 41. Her memoir was published posthumously this month, but it's not clear if that factored into Charles' decision.

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew," Buckingham Palace said in a statement Thursday.

"These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.

"Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse," the statement continued.

The titles of Prince, Duke of York, Earl of Inverness, Baron Killyleagh and "His Royal Highness" have now been vacated by Andrew, along with the honors of his Order of the Garter and Knight Grand Cross of the Victorian Order.

Andrew will reportedly make arrangements to relocate to a residence on the private Sandringham estate.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Gayle King: Leaving ‘CBS Mornings’ After Ideological Takeover?

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Is Gayle King poised to leave CBS Mornings?

After over a dozen years at the helm, this American icon might depart. Will it be by choice?

This past spring, Donald Trump pushed for Gayle's firing as part of his broader attack on journalism.

Is it happening now as CBS News has a new, wildly unqualified editor-in-chief?

Gayle King is reportedly leaving 'CBS Mornings' next year

Variety reports that Gayle King is leaving CBS Mornings, where she has been the anchor since 2012.

Gayle is a television legend.

She has managed to juggle her celebrity status with journalistic integrity.

Just a few years ago, her viral interview with disgraced rapper R. Kelly helped open many people's eyes to the (now incarcerated) fiend's true nature.

Earlier this year, she took her brief Blue Origin flight seriously without claiming to be some sort of astronaut out on the frontier, thus avoiding Katy Perry-style backlash.

To be clear, the report suggests that Gayle leaving CBS Mornings might not mean leaving CBS altogether.

There are multiple avenues that she might take within the "CBS family."

(Just a reminder, this is all under ParamountGlobal — everything from Star Trek to MTV to Yellowstone to Nickelodeon is part of this massive corporate behemoth)

Perhaps the most exciting prospect is the suggestion that Gayle might develop her very own show.

That said, it sounds like many things are up in the air. Why the reported change, though?

Why this change? It may fit a larger, ominous pattern

For many years, Gayle King has commanded respect for, among other things, representing journalistic integrity.

This certainly feels like a reason for her reported exit from CBS Mornings.

As most people are likely already aware, Paramount was recently part of an extremely controversial corporate acquisition.

(And they paid a pretty penny to Donald Trump over a frivolous lawsuit, which critics have characterized as an illegal bribe, before the merger)

One of the most ominous consequences of this merger is that Bari Weiss, a wildly unqualified contrarian who claims to be "politically homeless" yet has made a career out of espousing views that comfort the old and rich, is now the editor-in-chief of CBS News.

If you want to understand more about the existential threat that she represents to journalism, there's a recent and reasonably thorough Last Week Tonight Bari Weiss rundown embedded above.

Weiss' takeover of CBS News has heralded what appears to be an ideological purge.

Among other things, that means an end to CBS News' climate reporting. Natural disasters, heat waves, and more no longer receiving coverage.

Truth be told, the purge began earlier. We all saw the sad fate of 60 Minutes after Trump began to rage against the program, spewing false claims of dishonest edits.

That came before Weiss stepped in. This acquisition by Skydance, and the courtship of America's mad king to allow it to happen, triggered a rapid decline. Weiss is merely another nail in the coffin.

Notably, CBS claims that Variety's report is untrue

Interestingly, CBS is insisting to TMZ that news of Gayle King leaving CBS Mornings is premature at best.

"There have been no discussions with Gayle about her contract that runs through May 2026," CBS reported.

The network then affirmed: "She's a truly valued part of CBS and we look forward to engaging with her about the future."

Obviously, there are concerns about a broader purge of Black journalists from multiple networks — journalists who are targets for Donald Trump's ire and that of his supporters.

On the one hand, we would hate for Gayle to become part of that statistic.

At the same time … wouldn't it be even better if she takes a new job where she doesn't have to answer to an unqualified hellclown?

Stranger Things Spoilers: The Final Battle Begins…

Reading Time: 4 minutes

It's time to track down Vecna.

And "end this once and for all."

So says a main character in the very first Stranger Things Season 5 trailer, which Netflix has now released and which gives fans their initial look at the final set of episodes for this legendary drama.

(Netflix)

"I think what's unique about this season is that it starts a little bit in chaos because our heroes ultimately lost at the end of Season 4," co-creator Ross Duffer previously told Tudum.

"We usually set up their normal life and how they're going about school, and then we introduce the supernatural element. But in this case, this season is sprinting from the start."

Fellow executive producer Matt Duffer added that the group is "not experiencing normal life. Nothing in Hawkins is normal anymore."

On lockdown, "their movement is restricted, and there are Big Brother cameras everywhere. So not only are they active — their everyday, normal lives are anything but."

What will this mean for each of our favorites going forward?

(Netflix)

In the closing moments of the trailer, Vecna — standing in a military base in flames, filled with dead soldiers — levitates an incapacitated Will toward him.

"William," he says. "You are going to help me — one last time."

GULP.

Netflix, meanwhile, spoke to key cast members to get a preview of what's on tap for Season 5. Consider yourself SPOILER WARNED and scroll down to learn more…

(Netflix)

Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven): "Eleven is in training mode. She's in a warrior state, which is the first time you see Eleven like that at the beginning of a season. As for her mindset, all she is thinking about is protecting her friends. Her friends are her chosen family, so she will do whatever it takes to protect them."

Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin): "Dustin is in a bit of a funk. I think everybody probably is considering the state that Hawkins is in, and it's getting a little bit harder for the gang to keep all the pieces together. We're all dealing with the day-to-day issues of what it is to try to keep everybody safe and figure out where Vecna is, while having a lot of unpacked baggage from the events of the previous season."

Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas): "It's always been at the beginning of a season that everything is all good, but this is the first season we come into it and the stakes are the same as where we left off. We haven't defeated Vecna and the problem is still there. We're still trying to figure it out and may not be able to figure it out, so you feel that burden on Lucas as well as everyone else. Everyone is on edge, and we're all just trying to keep hope alive."

Noah Schnapp (Will): "Will is back in Hawkins this season. He was out of Hawkins last season, so now we're seeing the effects of him being back in that realm. We kind of hit the ground running right away this season, which is really exciting and not how we've started any other season. Everyone is all in one place, and we all have the same objective."

Sadie Sink (Max): "We [ended] Season 4 in a tough place for Max. Her final moments were of her in a hospital bed. Eleven was searching for her in the Void and couldn't find her, so Max is definitely not the way she once was. There's still a small glimmer of hope, though, and her friends are hanging on to that."

Finn Wolfhard (Mike): "Mike is back in leadership mode, and he's taken it more upon himself to help plan out these missions, and he and the whole gang are devoted to finding Vecna and ending this."

(Netflix)

The final season of Stranger Things will be cimprised of eight episodes, with Netflix releasing the first four (Volume 1) on November 26, the next three (Volume 2) on December 25 and the two-hour finale on New Year's Eve.

In an unprecedented move, the streamer is also releasing the finale in more than 350 movie theaters on the same night, playing through January 1, 2026.

Get ready, folks.

Here we go.

Ana de Armas DUMPS Tom Cruise Following ‘Uncomfortable’ Fling: Report

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Well, the romance between Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas may not have been a stunt — but it lasted about as long as one of Tom's leaps from a flying aircraft!

Yes, just weeks after we heard rumors that Ana and Tom were planning to have a kid together, the A-list couple has reportedly called it quits.

And insiders agree that it was Ana who pulled the plug on the relationship.

What prompted Ana de Armas to (allegedly) dump Tom Cruise?

"Things were moving fast, and she started to get a little uncomfortable with how fast it was going," a source close to the situation tells Us Weekly.

The insider added that the couple enjoyed "undeniable chemistry" during their time together, but in the end, Ana decided that simply wasn't enough.

The insider adds that even though Ana "put the brakes on," she "still likes [Cruise] a lot."

"They have a connection. They will see how things go in the future. … Tom and Ana are done for now," the source continued, adding:

"They want to remain friends, but she needed to take a step back."

Yes, even Tom Cruise gets friend-zoned from time to time. But hey, at least he can console himself with a nap atop a giant pile of money!

"Like any good movie, it all comes to an end, and that was the case for Tom and Ana," a second source confirmed.

A whirlwind romance comes to an end

Ana and Tom were always a bit of an odd pairing, what with him being 26 years her senior and having kids that are nearly Ana's age.

So it's not entirely surprising that the pairing didn't last. But it wasn't all that long ago that insiders were claiming these two were in it for the long haul.

"It started as a deep professional respect and then it ignited. Tom was completely captivated by Ana," said one source back in February.

The insider added that Ana "enjoyed [Cruise's] company" and found him "fun to be with," adding that he "supported her and everything she wanted to do."

Well, we're sure these two will muddle through somehow.

And out of respect to Tom, we'll hold off on making any short jokes in reference to this very brief romance.

Prince Andrew Stripped of Royal Title, Land in Wake of Jeffrey Epstein Accusations

Reading Time: 4 minutes

We've got some bombshell news from the Royal Family.

A statement released by King Charles moments ago announced that Prince Andrew has been formally stripped of his land and titles.

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew," the statement reads.

"Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

"Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him," the statement continues, concluding:

"Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

The news follows a statement released by Buckingham Palace on October 17, in which Andrew said he will no longer publicly use his title or honors because they distract from the work of King Charles and others high-up in this unit.

Now, Charles has taken things a step further.

These recent decisions are a result of Andrew's past connection to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

(Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

"In discussion with The King, and my immediate and wider family, we have concluded the continued accusations about me distract from the work of His Majesty and the Royal Family. I have decided, as I always have, to put my duty to my family and country first. I stand by my decision five years ago to stand back from public life," Andrew said in the statement.

"With His Majesty's agreement, we feel I must now go a step further. I will therefore no longer use my title or the honours which have been conferred upon me.

"As I have said previously, I vigorously deny the accusations against me."

That news came hours after a report from U.K.'s The Times claimed that King Charles III was "considering all options" as Andrew continues to make headlines for his connection with Epstein.

An insider told the outlet that things have reached "a tipping point" between Charles and his brother.

As a refresher:

In 2019, the late Virginia Giuffre accused Andrew of sexual assault.

She alleged they crossed paths on one of Jeffrey's Epstein's properties when she was 17 years old for a sexual encounter set up by Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

After Giuffre's initial allegations, Andrew went on BBC's Newsnight to discuss his connection to Epstein and the allegations made against him, telling journalist Emily Maitlis that he had "no recollection of ever meeting this lady."

Andrew subsequently announced that he would be stepping back from his public duties.

"It has become clear to me over the last few days that the circumstance relating to my former association with Jeffrey Epstein has become a major disruption to my family's work and the valuable work going on in the many organizations and charities that I am proud to support," he said in a November 2019 statement.

"Therefore, I have asked Her Majesty if I may step back from public duties for the foreseeable future, and she has given her permission."

Giuffre eventually sued Andrew for sexual abuse in 2021. The two settled out of court for an undisclosed sum… and then Giuffre died by suicide at age 41 this past April.

Just tragic stuff all around.

To officially strip Prince Andrew's titles, meanwhile, it would require an act of parliament; the likely pedophile has been considered "His Royal Highness" since birth.

Upon his marriage to Sarah Ferguson in 1986, his mother, Queen Elizabeth, gave him the titles of Duke of York, Earl of Inverness and Baron Killyleagh.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Kailyn Lowry Flaunts Post-Surgery Body in Lingerie Thirst Traps

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Kailyn Lowry looks absolutely incredible.

Though Kail's many plastic surgeries are the result of mental illness and driven by her mother, she is showcasing the results.

This time, the results aren't of her recovery.

Kailyn has shared a series of tantalizing thirst traps as she shows off her body in lingerie.

Kailyn Lowry is hot and she knows it

This week, Kailyn Lowry took to her Instagram page to share an array of photos.

Obviously, Teen Mom fans are familiar with the reality TV alum sharing snaps from her life, podcast work, and more.

But these photos showcased Kail in a new light.

In these selfies, she's wearing various skimpy ensembles — from a lace corset crop top with black leggings to a SKIMS bralette and panty.

And, as we said, she looks jaw-droppingly gorgeous. That applies whether she looks like she's dressed for yoga or in sweatpants and (another) SKIMS bra for casual lounging.

For her caption, Kailyn merely wrote: "My favorite support systems."

That appears to be a pun, playing upon terms for mental, social, and emotional support systems and the physical support that bras offer to breast-wielders.

It is a clever play on words.

And, obviously, the photos are not merely showing off her confidence.

She posted a gallery of thirst traps. And fans and followers took the bait.

Commenters are eating it up!

In the comments below Kailyn Lowry's alluring lingerie snaps, social media users shared their awe.

"I know others will say SURGERY but regardless you look good. Great weight for you," wrote one fan.

"GIRL IS HOTTTTT," raved another.

And another follower wrote: "You look AMAZING."

One commenter, jokingly conflating Kailyn's alluring photos with an attack, wrote: "You didn't have to do them like that kail!!!!"

Several were very defensive of Kail.

"God forbid a woman does something for her self confidence after having children without people being haters," penned another commenter.

Meanwhile, some folks seemed more focused upon the SKIMS brand than the reality TV personality.

"The skims plunge bra is actually sooo comfy," a commenter raved. "I'm obsessed!"

Were there negative remarks? Of course. But overall, the results seemed very positive.

There is a sad undercurrent to all of this

Some folks did, in fact, ask for Kailyn Lowry's "secret." But it is not, in fact, a secret.

She has undergone many cosmetic surgeries over the years.

Back in January, she underwent a tummy tuck. Just weeks earlier, she had breast reduction surgery.

This past summer, Kailyn had extra neck skin removed. It is a lot — and she fully admits that it is a product of mental illness.

Body dysmorphia hits so hard. We hope that, with therapy (and praise from followers), she can love her body as it is instead of imagining "flaws."

Dr. Phil Loses Major Ruling In Bankruptcy Case; TV Personality Accused of Deleting …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Dr. Phil McGraw's latest business venture is not going according to plan.

In fact, the once-beloved TV personality is now dealing with legal drama that could have major ramifications.

In April of 2024, McGraw launched a media company and television network called Merit Street Media, which filed for bankruptcy less than a year later.

Now, a judge is accusing Phil of attempting to deceive the court during bankruptcy proceedings.

Judge blasts Dr. Phil amid bankruptcy proceedings

Merit Street Media filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but this week, Judge Scott W. Everett of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas ruled that the company only qualified for Chapter 7 liquidation and would therefore need to liquidate its assets.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a trustee will oversee both the sale of Merit Street Media's media library and litigation over whether broadcast partner Trinity Broadcasting breached its contract with the company.

The judge specifically singled out Phil for his alleged deletion of a text message that was part of discovery in the case.

Everett claims that McGraw deleted an "unflattering" text message, a tactic he described as a "gangster move."

"Mr. McGraw's actions violated not only the discovery order…but also a broader principle that the debtors, board members, or de facto officers or agents should not destroy property of the estate to help them in pending litigation," Everett said.

With a Chapter 7 trustee, he added, "Creditors can have faith that the process will play out fairly and neutrally."

"Dismissal, on the other hand, would allow Mr. McGraw to pay his favored creditors and not pay his unfavored creditors, as his own deleted text makes clear he wants to do," the judge continued, adding:

"Dismissal would also allow the debtor or friendly creditors to file another bankruptcy case in a different jurisdiction to try to get different rulings that favor Mr. McGraw and his interests, including on the pending sanctions motion that I've yet to rule on," he said.

What's next for Dr. Phil?

A spokesperson tells THR that Phil and his company intend to appeal the judge's decision:

"We take great exception to the court's improper assertions regarding the alleged destruction of evidence, which simply did not happen," the statement read.

"We will not let this stand given all that Dr. Phil and Peteski Productions have done to protect Merit Street employees, distributors, and other interested parties and to resolve this unfortunate situation."

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Robyn Brown to Potential Sister Wives: Stop Hitting On My Husband!

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Will the title Sister Wives ever be appropriate again?

As TLC viewers know well at this point, the long-running reality show remains very much on the air — even though Kody Brown no longer has any sister wives.

Over the past few years, Christine, Janelle and Meri have all left the father of 18.

This leaves Robyn as Kody's only remaining spouse. But will it remain that way?

(TLC)

In a sneak peek at the November 2 episode of the program, courtesy of People Magazine, Kody tells Robyn that he got an email from a woman.

"She's kind of chastising me for deciding to quit plural marriage. She's calling me out then asking, sort of, to get to know us for the purpose of joining the family," Kody explains of this apparent stranger.

Robyn doesn't have a lot to say to her husband at first in response. But in a confessional shortly afterward?

"I find it very inappropriate that they would send it to Kody," she tells the camera. "It's not usually proper to go hitting on a guy. You have to go through the sister wives, you have to go through, like, at least one."

Kody and Robyn Brown have managed to stay together through the years. (TLC)

We're not sure of the rules of polygamy work.

We do know that the initial Sister Wives Season 20 trailer featured a snippet of this same conversation between Kody and Robyn.

Later, after it became clear that Kody was open to bringing in a new spouse basically just so he could have sex with her, Robyn referred to her man as a desperate pig.

No real argument from us over here.

Kody Brown never really looks to happy, does he? (TLC)

Elsewhere in this clip, meanwhile, Kody admits that he's had "a lot of letters come in" from perspective lovers asking him to "reconsider" plural marriage.

"Who doesn't like a little bit of attention? But at the same time, that's a craziness that I don't want to indulge,' he says on air.

Kody also tells Robyn she's his "sweetheart" and will therefore always be candid with her, prompting the mother of six to reply:

"Thanks for telling me. It would've been weird probably if you didn't."

Kody addresses Robyn in an intense moment. (TLC)

Robyn and Kody got married in 214.

They discussed the potential of a future plural marriage on last month's season premiere.

At the time, Kody brought up how a relative asked Robyn if they were still in a plural marriage.

"I wasn't quite sure what to say to him," Robyn confessed. "I didn't want to speak for you. I feel like if this is still something that's a part of me, then wouldn't I live it?"

Robyn went on to explain that if "there was somebody who was really supportive and really wanted to work and really wanted a relationship with me as well as with you, not just you… and then we had a guarantee that it was going to be okay and it was going to be wonderful and it was going to be what I always dreamed it was supposed to be?"

Well. Then she would consider plural marriage again more seriously.

Back then, it didn't appear as if either side really wanted to return to the whole polygamy thing.

"It's you and me, baby. Monogamy, does it work for you? Will it work for you?" Kody eventually asked as Robyn answered:

"Sounds good. … It sounds good, I'm good."

Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10/9c on TLC.
