Here's Why Bachelorette Fans Are Mad at Clare Crawley on Behalf of Contestant Matt James


Clare Crawley’s season of The Bachelorette hasn’t even begun filming yet, but it’s already shaping up to be the most dramatic season ever. (But, like, really.)

Production is on hold indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we’ve already got a bit of feud brewing between Crawley and contestant Matt James, who also just happens to be BFFs with Tyler Cameron. The whole thing’s a bit messy, confusing, and low-key ridiculous, so we’re here to break down what’s got Bachelor Nation so frustrated with next season’s lead.

This all started with a couple of tweets from Crawley on April 25. “If you are doing interviews and creating Cameo accounts before you are even on my season… you are in it for the wrong reasons… #dontwasteyourtime,” she wrote. “Respect the opportunity you’ve been given. Respect the rules. Respect me. @BacheloretteABC ❤️”

Fans strongly believe these tweets were about James even though she doesn’t mention him by name. Why? James told E! News that he is very much looking forward to meeting Crawley when the show can start filming. “There’s a very beautiful young lady in Sacramento right now who’s quarantining and who is patiently waiting for production on a show to pick back up and I’ve been waiting as well,” he said. “I’m hoping after everything settles down and everyone is safe that I’ll finally get to meet her. I’m looking forward to it.”

And yes, James is on Cameo—but fans were quick to point out he’s been using these opportunities to promote his charity. “Clare… Clare… in this house we stan Matt James. He is doing interviews to promote his charity, ABC Food Tours which is producing tablets and meals for kids in underprivileged areas. And he said he is looking forward to meeting you so where’s the problem,” one person tweeted.

After Crawley’s tweets, James posted a video message in his Instagram Stories about why he’s on Cameo, according to Us Weekly. “For those of you who may have missed the message earlier this week, myself and Alex Bachman, my former teammate and current New York Giants wide receiver, pledged all of our Cameo earnings to the Robin Hood Foundation to fight this fight,” James said.

Even host Chris Harrison weighed in on the drama.

Bachelor Nation appears to be firmly on Team Matt in this situation, and many pointed out that he might be more well known than she is at this point. “Lol I knew who Matt James was before I knew who Clare was,” one fan tweeted. “So it’s pretty funny she thinks he has a following bc of her.” Just as a reminder, Crawley did not actually name names.

Of course, there are some coming to the lead’s defense. “I think it is very clear that Matt is only coming on to try and become the Bachelor,” one fan replied to the backlash. “But to fault Clare for not wanting to risk people coming on for the wrong reasons after the last few seasons we have had seems WILD.”

Clare Crawley has yet to respond to the backlash—but we’re sure this will all be hashed out when the show finally airs…eventually.

Disney's French Toast Recipe: Here's How to Make It at Home


It can be hard to distinguish between the work week and the weekend in quarantine, but a luxurious brunch could make all the difference. Enter: Disney’s coveted French toast recipe. Thanks to a recent update to the Disney Parks Blog, the Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Banana French Toast previously available only at Disney’s PCH Grill at Disney Paradise Pier Hotel is now available to the rest of us.

Since the coronavirus pandemic shuttered Disney Parks, its properties have been sharing the secrets to some of their most beloved dishes. And this recipe is even easier than you might think. Here’s how to make it at home.

Ingredients (serves 4):

  • 8 thick slices day-old challah bread
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3/4 cup low-fat chocolate milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Chocolate syrup and powdered sugar, optional, but we think you deserve it

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Slice bananas into 1/2-inch slices, and add to bowl. Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Combine peanut butter, eggs, chocolate milk, cinnamon, and salt in a blender (or just mix well with a whisk!). Process until smooth.
  4. Pour egg mixture over bread mixture. Stir gently until bread cubes have absorbed egg mixture.
  5. Pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
  6. Before serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

This delicious baked French toast is the latest in a stream of recipes that Disney has made public, giving people at home a taste of the fun even as Disneyland, Disney World, and most of the brand’s other theme parks remain closed.

Here's When Friends Is Returning to Streaming


Are you ready for some good news? Friends is coming back to streaming—and it’s happening sooner than you think.

If that news has you jumping up and down and wildly clapping—like that time Phoebe and Rachel spotted Monica and Chandler making out from the window of Ross’s apartment—you are very much not alone. If anything could comfort us during these hard times, it’s the easy banter of our six faves as they sip coffee at Central Perk.

Times have been tough for Friends fans since the show left Netflix at the beginning of 2020, but we now have an official launch date for its new home, the streaming platform HBO Max: May 27. The entire catalog of episodes will be available on the service from day one.

But this show isn’t the only classic you’ll be able to stream in a just over a month. The Big Bang Theory, The Bachelor, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, The O.C., Pretty Little Liars, and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown will also be part of your subscription. Shows like Gossip Girl, South Park, and The West Wing will be available at some point in the first year, according to a press release. Subscribers will also be able to access a library of more than 2,000 feature films within the first year.

Unfortunately, you will have to wait a bit longer for the highly-anticipated, unscripted Friends cast reunion, as shooting was delayed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Our number one goal is having extraordinary content for everyone in the family, and the HBO Max programming mix we are so excited to unveil on May 27th will bear that out,” Robert Greenblatt, chairman of Warner Media Entertainment and direct-to-consumer, said in a release. “Even in the midst of this unprecedented pandemic, the all-star teams behind every aspect of HBO Max will deliver a platform and a robust slate of content that is varied, of the highest quality, and second to none. I’m knocked out by the breadth and depth of our new offering, from the Max originals, our Warner Bros library and acquisition titles from around the world, and of course the entirety of HBO.”

HBO Max will also feature original programming. We’re particularly excited for Love Life, an anthology series, starring Anna Kendrick. The show chronicles “the journey from first love to last love, and how the people we’re with along the way make us into who we are when we finally end up with someone forever.”

Mostly, though, we can’t wait to clap along to that Friends theme song blasting from our screens once again.

Ikea Meatballs: Here's How to Make Them at Home


You might not be able to walk into one of their stores right now and pick up, say, a new dresser—but Ikea‘s meatballs are now accessible from your kitchen.

Following in the footsteps of Disney—which recently released their churros, Dole Whip, cookie fries, and grilled cheese recipes—the Swedish furniture giant has made their famous meatball recipe available to all. “We know that some people might be missing our meatballs, which is why we’ve released an at-home alternative which, using easily accessible ingredients, will help those looking for some inspiration in the kitchen,” Lorena Lourido, country food manager at Ikea, said in a press release, per CNN. “Staying at home can be hard, but we want to help make everyone’s lives that little bit easier and more enjoyable. Bon appétit or, smaklig måltid, as we say in Sweden!”

Here’s how to make Ikea’s meatballs with cream sauce. The recipe, per CNN, reads as follows:

Ingredients (16-20 meatballs)

  • 500 grams (1.1 pounds) ground beef
  • 250 grams (slightly more than ½ pound) ground pork
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic (crushed or minced)
  • 100 grams (3.5 ounces) breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 5 tablespoons of whole milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cream sauce:

  • Dash of oil
  • 40 grams (1.4 ounces) butter
  • 40 grams (1.4 ounces) plain flour
  • 150 ml (5 fluid ounces) vegetable stock
  • 150 ml (5 fluid ounces) beef stock
  • 150 ml (5 fluid ounces) thick double cream
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions:

  1. Combine beef and pork mince and mix thoroughly to break up any lumps. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and mix. Add milk and season well with salt and pepper.

  2. Shape mixture into small, round balls. Place on a clean plate, cover and store in the fridge for two hours (to help them hold their shape while cooking).

  3. In a frying pan, heat oil on medium heat. When hot, gently add your meatballs and brown on all sides.

  4. When browned, add to an ovenproof dish and cover. Place in a hot oven, 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius, and cook for a further 30 minutes.

And for the cream sauce:

  1. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Whisk in the plain flour and continue cooking, stirring continuously for two minutes.

  2. Add the vegetable stock and beef stock and continue to stir. Add the thick double cream, soy sauce and Dijon mustard.

  3. Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken. Continue to stir.

  4. When ready to eat, serve with your favorite potatoes—either creamy mash or mini new boiled potatoes.

Enjoy!

Is One Direction Reuniting? Here's Why Everyone Is Convinced


If ever there was a time for some massively huge (and happy) music news, it’s right now—and we may just be getting it by way of a One Direction reunion.

At least, that’s what fans think based on some recent internet and social media activity surrounding Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne. While the evidence is fairly circumstantial at the moment and no member of the group has commented directly about an upcoming reunion, fans certainly have a case.

For the uninitiated, One Direction officially formed as part of the U.K.’s X Factor on July 23, 2010, so they have a big 10-year anniversary coming up. One Direction started disassembling when Malik split from the rest of the boy band in March 2015. The remaining four continued without him and went on to release more new music, though they eventually went on a hiatus in January 2016 that then extended to a full-on ending of the group as we knew it…perhaps until now.

One Directioners have never given up hope of a reunion. and now they have more evidence than ever before. “There’s still a long way to go and a lot of hurdles. Obviously, at the moment anything they do would have to be done virtually,” Page Six reported. “But there’s a lot of goodwill between them now and they want to make something happen.”

So let’s break down what exactly is going on:

New online activity

In early April, eagle-eyed fans noticed the official One Direction account, along with Styles, Payne, Horan, and Tomlinson, all started following Malik again. Sure, it’s a simple action—but in the modern world, following and unfollowing is a form of public currency.

E! also reports the One Direction website has been reactivated for the first time since the 2016 hiatus.

Here's How Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Reportedly Plan to Spend Archie's First Birthday


It’s hard to believe it’s been almost a year since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their first son, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, on May 6, 2019.

The couple reportedly already has some big plans in the works to celebrate his first birthday. An Us Weekly source says they are going to be “celebrating at Queen Elizabeth II’s Scottish estate, Balmoral … and have talked to the queen about having a picnic on the grounds.” The source goes on to say the queen is “very excited” for the celebration. It’s been previously reported that the Sussexes were set to spend some time at Balmoral with (Prince) Harry’s grandmother this summer—though with all travel plans right now, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume things could be on hold given the uncertain and ever-changing guidelines around the coronavirus pandemic.

Queen Elizabeth II will reportedly gift Archie with a “beautiful rocking horse,” with the Us Weekly source noting he loves the animals and “squeals with excitement” when he sees them. Markle also reportedly plans to have animal-themed cupcakes for at least one of the parties for her nature-loving son. “Archie loves being outside, and you can already tell he’s inherited [Prince] Charles’s passion for nature,” a source told Us Weekly. “He gets so excited at seeing all the trees. Now that he’s just walking, he’s into everything—he’ll often end up covered in mud!”

The outlet says there are also plans for a North American celebration. “Meghan’s mom, Doria [Ragland], and BFFs Jessica Mulroney and Abigail Spencer will be invited to stay with their families for the weekend,” a source said. The Sussexes recently relocated to Markle’s hometown of Los Angeles, where her mother also lives.

As the family hunkers down in L.A. amid the current global crisis, they’ve also had to deal with a tweet from President Donald Trump about who’s paying for their security. On March 29 he wrote, “I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!”

A spokesperson for the couple quickly responded that they never had any plans to ask the U.S. government for money to cover their security detail and were paying for it privately.
