Are Prince William and Duchess Catherine looking to adopt a new pet?

Meet the furry bundle of joy that looks set to join the Royal couple and their family!

CelebrityJody Phan

Prince William and Duchess Catherine are breaking Royal protocol and looking to adopt the next member of their family!

According to Daily Mail, the couple have been looking for a new puppy to join their Cocker Spaniel, Lupo.

William, 33, and Catherine, 34, have been researching several breeds. However, they seem to have made up their minds and have been in contact with an Italian company that specialises in breeding Bolonka Zwetna puppies.

A Bolonka Zwetna puppy just like this one could soon be joining the Royal family!

The small puppies are a Russian variant of the Bichon breed and would make a perfect pal for young Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

William and Catherine’s first dog, Lupo, joined their family in 2011 and have since been spotted at various Royal outings.

Meanwhile, William has revealed his fears for George and Charlotte growing up during a time where cyber bullying and online trolling are so prevalent.

Prince William and Duchess Catherine already have a Cocker Spaniel named Lupo.

Speaking at the 2016 Founders Forum in London, a conference event for the world’s leading digital and technological minds, the father-of-two said, “As Catherine and I started our family a few years ago, I was alarmed about the increasing reports of online bullying that were making headlines around the world.”

“From the girls developing eating disorders after being subjected to a campaign of abuse on social media, to the teenage boys who took their own lives following constant targeting – as a parent myself, I was appalled.”

Angelina Jolie opens up about her children’s different personalities

Surprisingly, Angelina Jolie has revealed her kids won't be following in her footsteps!

Now to Love

Angelina Jolie Pitt opened up about her children on a recent interview with BBC Radio 4’s Women’s Hour, revealing that they all have their own unique personalities.

“All the kids are learning different languages,” said the 41-year-old. “I asked them what languages they wanted to learn and Shi is learning Khmai, which is a Cambodian language, Pax is focusing on Vietnamese, Mad has taken to German and Russian, Z is speaking French, Vivienne really wanted to learn Arabic, and Knox is learning sign language.”

“I suppose that just means you don’t know who your children are until they show you who they are and they are just becoming whoever they want to be,” she added.

Jolie Pitt and husband Brad have six children – Shiloh, 10, Maddox, 14, Zahara, 11, Pax, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 7.

L-R: Zahara, Knox, Maddox, Shiloh, Pax and Vivienne

And while both their parents are hugely successful actors, Jolie Pitt said her kids are unlikely to follow their career path.

“None of my kids want to be actors,” she revealed. “They are actually very interested in being musicians. I think they like the process of film from the outside. Mad is interested in editing. Pax loves music and deejaying.”

Zahara and Shiloh

In 2013, the actress made the choice to have a preventive double mastectomy and later had her ovaries removed in 2015.

She opened up about how she wishes her mother (who died in 2007 to ovarian cancer) had more recent information of treatment that possibly could have saved her.

“When you go through something and you learn about yourself and your body in anything medical, you feel – it really wasn’t a decision,” she confessed.

“It was just, I thought that I had gained information that I wish my mother would have known. I wish she had the option. I wish she had the surgery, in fact, and it might have given her more years with my family.”

Jolie Pitt says she’s humbled at the thought of the increased awareness of speaking openly about treatment options.

She said: “It means a great deal to me. If there is even one woman out there who went and got checked and found that she had cancer or she was positive and she caught something in time, and if in any small way I was a part of that, it makes me very emotional.”

Is Khloe Kardashian’s cryptic Instagram post about Lamar Odom?

The reality star has some heated words for her ex!

CelebrityJody Phan

Khloe Kardashian took to Instagram on Saturday to share a poignant letter that seemingly blasted Lamar Odom.

The now deleted post began with a quote that read, “They start missing you when they fail at replacing you.”

Khloe’s lengthy post was captured by The Shade Room before it was deleted.

The 31-year-old continued, “‘You don’t know what you got till it’s gone,’ I say, you knew what you had, you just never thought it would slip away.”

“We often take for granted the very things that deserve our gratitude the most. We do this with both people and material possessions. The problem is many people do not realise this until it’s too late.”

The 31-year-old’s post comes after she admitted to mum Kris that she was through with her failed marriage to Lamar.

Khloe followed up her deleted post with a much shorter quote, which read, “We’d learn so much more about ourselves if we took the time to observe and reflect on our own actions instead of another’s.”

It comes after the broken-hearted star told her mum Kris Jenner during a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she was ending her tumultuous relationship with the former NBA star and finally going through with their divorce.

Khloe later shared this insightful quote on Instagram.

Lamar – who suffered from a near-fatal drug and alcohol related overdose last year – appeared to be slipping back into his old ways after he was spotted attending a bar in Los Angeles in March.

Desperate dad begs for people to wash hands before touching babies

After his baby nearly died from a deadly virus, a father has made a desperate plea for people to be strictly hygienic when touching little ones.

Now to Love

The dad shared his story on Imgur, saying that she was admitted to hospital with a mild case of viral meningitis. She recovered in a couple of days but the real horror began when she contracted the highly contagious Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).

He goes on to say in the highly emotional story that his little girl ‘flatlined’ and was put on a ventilator before being taken to a bigger hospital.

“We almost lost her last Monday. Our local hospital told us if she got any worse there was nothing more they could do for her,” he wrote.

She was then diagnosed with “a severe case of pneumonia, type h flu, bronchiolitis, and a partially collapsed right lung,” with the father saying that’s it been a “rough week for my little one.”

But it seems like she’s on the mend, with the relieved dad saying: “She has beaten so many odds this past week and made me even more proud to call her my daughter.”

“The PICU nurses have been literal life savers. We might even be able to go home this weekend.”

He then goes on to say how important it is to follow strict hygiene when interacting with babies.

“RSV is no joke. I didn’t know much about it until a week ago when it almost took my daughter from me. Please make sure to wash your hands before handling little ones. And make sure to wrap them up when heading outside into the cold,” he said.

The Mayo Clinic reports that RSV can be easily spread.

“It spreads easily when infectious respiratory secretions — such as those from coughing or sneezing — are inhaled or passed to others through direct contact, such as shaking hands.”

The website continues: “The virus can also live for hours on objects such as countertops and toys. Touch your mouth, nose or eyes after touching a contaminated object, and you’re likely to acquire the virus.”

Best to heed this advice!

6 ways to celebrate your divorce

Calling it quits can be hard. But here’s why you should celebrate this new chapter of your life.

Carolyn Tate

Breaking up is hard. It can be long and painful and arduous deciding on issues like whose fault everything is and who will get custody – of the kids, the dog, that ugly vase Aunty Mabel gave you for a wedding present…

But when the divorce comes through, that’s a time that marks a new chapter in your life, and it’s something that should be celebrated. When my divorce came through, I was still child and responsibility-free so I hotfooted it over to Edinburgh for a year. (Which I absolutely recommend if you’re considering it.)

But if you don’t want to move to the other side of the world, here are some other ideas that can help you draw a big line under that chapter in your life and get ready to move forward.

Go on retreat

Spend a week or two having massages and facials, doing yoga, and generally getting in touch with who you are as a single woman again. Some great options include Bliss Sanctuary for Women in Bali, Gaia Retreat and Spa near Byron Bay, and Samadhi Retreat in Daylesford.

Get a tattoo

‘All men are bastards’ is probably not something you should be putting permanently anywhere right now, but if you are a fan of the ink, maybe something that symbolises renewal, strength or rebirth might be relevant.

Have a party

Throw an emancipation party, invite all your friends, dance on the tables and have a ball. Just be sure to keep the language on your invitations positive and focused on your new life. No guests want to come and hear you talk about how glad you are to be rid of that creep – especially if they’re still friends with him. Keep the focus on freedom and fun, and party hard.

Have a makeover

If you’ve ever watched a romantic comedy, you’ll know it’s a woman’s job to get a makeover after a break-up. There’s a reason for this though: it will help you to feel fresh, attractive and fun again – ready to get out there, mingling with confidence. Whether you’re on the market for a new partner, or you just want to feel fantastic about yourself, a new hairdo, some new clothes and a bold lip will work wonders.

Redecorate or move

Move into a new home and decorate it exactly the way you like. There isn’t any need to consider anyone else’s feelings any more. And if you’re staying put, ditch that wallpaper in the bedroom you always hated and finally get around to installing a dishwasher. This is your time to get what you want, where you want it.

Do a ‘first’

Choose an activity that you’ve been wanting to try for ages, such as training for a marathon or learning to play the ukulele. Or do something a bit nuts that will let you know you’re alive, like jumping out of a plane or trying abseiling.

Now’s the time to forget about who you were and move boldly into who you want to be in your new life.

Make it fulfilling and exhilarating and kiss that old life goodbye with no regrets.

For me it is a day not just to celebrate how fortunate I am for my young family, but to reflect on just how much I’ve learned about fatherhood and the issues facing fathers in all walks of life. In particular, it is a time to reflect on my responsibility to look after not just the physical health of my two children, but to treat their mental needs as just as important a priority,” he penned on the Heads Together website.

Sharing this ADORABLE happy snap, Chrissy Teigan wrote to her husband John Legend, “Happy Father’s Day to the most perfect man Luna and I could ever ask for.

You don’t mind diapers, get all the best burps, and read her Goodnight Moon like poetry. It makes me so happy to see so much of you in her smile and eyes that completely glow when looking at you. She will never look at anyone – anyone – the way she looks at you.”

When brussels sprouts sound devilishly good, just ask Chrissy Teigen.

Chrissy Teigen’s brussels with bacon garlic and maple syrup

She’s the model that likes to eat! Chrissy Teigen shares her delectable, nay, legendary recipe for Brussels with bacon and garlic (there are amazing as they sound and hubby John adores them!)

Ingredients

3 rashers bacon

1 kg Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

10 peeled garlic cloves halved

¼ cup chicken broth

3-4 tablespoons maple syrup

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

In a super-giant skillet, fry the bacon until crisp. Drain the bacon on paper towels, but leave the fat in the skillet (If you don’t have a giant skillet, use two smaller ones, dividing the bacon among the 2 skillets).
Place the Brussels in the skillet (or skillets), season them with salt and pepper, and cook them over high heat, MAKING SURE NOT TO MOVE THEM! until the bottoms are browned, 9-10 minutes.
Using a spatula flip the sprouts, add the chicken stock to the skillet, and continue to cook until the other side is golden, another 9-10 minutes.
The sprouts won’t be super soft; if you like them that way, cook ‘em a little longer, adding a little more stock if you want. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with the maple syrup.

Shane Warne is hanging out with Charlie Sheen

Well, this is an unlikely pairing.

Now to Love

Ex-cricketer Shane Warne has been photographed hanging out with Charlie Sheen.

Warne posted a pic to his Instagram with the 50-year-old actor, writing: “Great to meet this #legend @charliesheen ! Great night ahead #winning Hahahah”

The two seemed to hit it off after British TV host Piers Morgan interviewed Sheen and followed it up with a Q&A from the audience.

The Two And A Half Men star promised the Evening Standard show in London would be “up close and personal”.

Sheen said of the interview: “Basically, it’s a casual conversation. It talks about things I’ve been through recently and storytellings of the past.

“Also just about my career and trying to focus more on the body of work, future work, current work and not delve into the things that everybody seems to have so much curiosity about.”

Warnie was in the audience and praised him for his honesty.

Sheen revealed he had been diagnosed with HIV earlier this year.

Mariah Carey’s ex Nick Cannon releases ‘Divorce Papers’ rap

The 35-year-old has opened up about his difficult divorce in a bizarre new song.

CelebrityJody Phan

Nick Cannon has released a telling new track while hitting back at reports that he’s been holding up the proceedings for his divorce from estranged wife Mariah Carey.

In the freestyle rap titled Divorce Papers, the America’s Got Talent host pours his heart out about their split as well as how it’s affected his five-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.

Speaking to Genius, Nick revealed he wrote the song to vent his frustrations towards lawyers who he believes “cause most of the friction”.

“I was like, ‘You want Divorce Papers? Well here you go!'” the father-of-two said.

“The lawyer’s line was also me releasing a little frustration at the attorneys on both sides because lawyers always think they control the clients and they cause most of the friction, especially since my ex and I get along.”

Nick and Mariah filed for divorce in January after six years of marriage.

In the track, the father-of-two also touches on the heartbreaking effects the split has had on his relationship with his two children.

“There is nothing more painful than parting with or having to drop your children off,” he said.

“One day as my daughter was giving me a hug goodbye my eyes welled up and she looked at me and said, ‘Daddy, why do you have tears in your eyes?’ and I told her it was because I love her.”

“She understood. She is a genius. She just hugged me harder and said ‘I love you, too’. Waterworks!”

Nick and his kids, Monroe and Moroccan, spent quality time together for US Father’s Day.

The song comes after reports surfaced claiming Nick had been refusing to sign the divorce papers, thus preventing his ex to marry her billionaire beau, James Packer.

But now that the papers have indeed been signed, James and Mariah will be able to go ahead with their lavish wedding – said to cost a whopping $100 million – later this year.
