Buckingham Palace’s Response to Meghan and Harry Stepping Down Is…Interesting


Buckingham Palace has released a response to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s announcement that they’re taking a stepping down as “senior” members of the royal family.

“Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through,” the palace said, per royals reporter Omid Scobie.

See the statement for yourself, below:

Earlier today Markle and Prince Harry revealed, via Instagram, their plans to change up the way they work in 2020. “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen,” they wrote on the Sussex Royal official IG page.

The duke and duchess continued, “It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”

Buckingham Palace’s statement seems to imply Markle and Prince Harry’s big, declarative announcement is coming a bit out of left field. It’s possible higher-ups at the palace were privy to these discussions but weren’t expecting any decisions to be made yet. But this statement is very brief, so there’s no way to know for sure what, exactly, is going on.

We’ll keep you posted with any more updates.

Of Course Rihanna Had the Perfect Response When Someone Called Out Her Pimple


We may all be disappointed we didn’t get new Rihanna music by the end of 2019, but we can always count on her to be one of the very best celebrities of all time at social media.

The singer and Fenty mogul has only posted twice in 2020, but each one is pretty representative of who she is. First, she simply wrote “Devastating” about the fires raging in Australia. But it was her next image that is causing a bit of conversation.

“First selfie of the year doe. #2020,” she wrote next to a shot of herself. Seems harmless enough, right?

But this is Rihanna we’re talking about, so of course fans analyzed the photo closely. “Let me pop your pimple,” one commenter wrote after noticing a small blemish on the singer’s skin. RiRi was having none of that and came back with the perfect response: “Let her have her shine, PLEASE.”

It’s a small gesture, but the impact of a star as major as Rihanna being okay with posting a shot of herself with imperfect skin to the world (including her 78 million followers) is not. Instagram has become a place where perfection reigns and FaceTuned images are everywhere. But guess what? Everybody gets zits, even Rihanna. In fact, she’s one of a few celebrities who are normalizing acne on social media by posting their zit pics.

Rihanna is never afraid to address the commentary she knows goes on about her appearance. Back in October, she took on the matter of pregnancy head on. In a video for Vogue, Anna Wintour asked her, “Rihanna, do you hope to have a baby soon?”

“I don’t think about stuff like that. But, I don’t know…God’s plan,” she responded, laughing. “I look forward to all of the pregnancy rumors after this interview.” See, she always knows the right thing to say.

Chrissy Teigen Had the Perfect Response to a Troll Who Told Her to ‘Cover Up’


There’s no one who can put a troll in their place quite like Chrissy Teigen—and she proved that when she expertly shut down someone who asked her to “cover up” her breasts in a recent post.

The Cravings author exercised her clapback muscles on Friday, December 6, after sharing a sweet photo with her daughter, Luna, on Instagram. The image shows Teigen sitting on a staircase as her three-year-old adjusts her blazer.

While most fans loved the candid moment, mom-shamers were out in full force to accuse her of showing too much skin in front of her child.

“Jesus cover up your daughter is right there,” one person commented.

Oddly, the troll also had a photo of the picture as their Instagram profile photo.

“She sucked it for months and doesn’t mind it much,” Teigen replied.

Others tried to shame her for not covering up as well. “Do you ever wear underwear?” another person asked.

“U cold up there?” Teigen responded.

As always, the mother of two is the best at coming up with responses to her haters and has become known for her comebacks on social media. In fact, this isn’t even first time she’s masterfully taken on trolls this month.

When the model posted a couple of photos from her Thanksgiving, including one with with her personal chef and nanny, a user mocked her for having hired help for her and John Legend‘s two children, Luna and Miles.

“Grateful for the people that make our dysfunctional house functional,” Teigen captioned the sweet shot.

“AKA ‘thankful for my household staff of chefs and nannies,'” the troll commented.

But Teigen wasn’t having any of it and quickly put the person in their place. “Literally just said that but you sure got me,” she replied.

When will people learn not to come for Chrissy Teigen on social media? She always has the last word.

Khloé Kardashian's Response to Tristan Thompson Saying 'I Love You' Is So Awkward


Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have been estranged ever since earlier this year, when news broke that he and Kylie Jenner‘s best friend, Jordyn Woods, kissed at a party. The two of them play nice for the sake of their daughter, True, but they very much are not a couple right now. Remember in April, when that video of Kardashian ignoring Thompson at True’s first birthday party went viral? That about sums up their relationship status.

But something happened on this week’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians that’s even more awkward. In one scene, we see Kardashian FaceTiming True and Thompson from Connecticut. When Thompson ends the conversation by saying, “I love you,” Kardashian’s response is a bit tense. All she says is “Thank you.”

The reply is so icy, in fact, that Kardashian’s friend Malika Haqq calls her out for it. “I love you. ‘Thank you,'” she says in the clip, laughing.

“I don’t know what to say,” Kardashian says. “I just think now, I’ve already seen how this ride goes, and I don’t enjoy it. Why would I want to do it for a third time?”

Watch this go down for yourself in the video, below. The episode aired this past Sunday on E!

Khloé Kardashian has been quite open with her followers and fans about the Tristan Thompson-Jordyn Woods situation. “This has been an awful week & I know everyone is sick of hearing about it all (as am I). I’m a rollercoaster of emotions & have said things I shouldn’t have. Honestly, Tristan cheating on me & humiliating me, wasn’t such a shock as the first time,” she tweeted shortly after the incident happened.

The reality star continued, “What’s been harder & more painful is being hurt by someone so close to me. Someone whom I love & treat like a little sister. But Jordyn is not to be blamed for the breakup of my family. This was Tristan’s fault. I have to move on with my life & count my blessings, my family, my health, & my beautiful baby True.”

Keeping Up With the Kardashians airs Sundays at 9 P.M. on E!

Lizzo Had the Most Iconic Response to a Troll Who Tried to Body-Shame Her


One of Jimmy Kimmel’s most iconic segments on his late night talk show involves making celebrities read mean tweets. The responses have always been hysterical, but leave it to Lizzo to take things to the next level: The super candid singer/rapper/flautist appeared on the show this week and delivered a razor-sharp response to a social media user who tried to body-shame her.

The mean tweet read, “Bus passes and Happy Meals. Two things that I imagine #Lizzo has seen a lot of.” Lizzo took the tweet in stride, first laughing at it and then responding with, “Yeah, I’m a big bitch, and I ride a bus. A tour bus, motherfucker. Where’s yours?” A flawless clapback.

Lizzo is pretty much having the best year ever. She has two songs on Billboard‘s Hot 100 (one of which hit the number one spot); her tour is selling like crazy; and she has a devoted legion of fans. No way is she letting a dumb tweet like this bother her.

Earlier this year, the “Truth Hurts” singer talked to Glamour about why calling plus-size women “brave” is actually insulting. “When people look at my body and be like, ‘Oh my God, she’s so brave,’ it’s like, ‘No, I’m not,'” she said. “I’m just fine. I’m just me. I’m just sexy. If you saw Anne Hathaway in a bikini on a billboard, you wouldn’t call her brave. I just think there’s a double standard when it comes to women.”

Lizzo’s tweet read from this video is definitely the most memorable, but the segment also includes Billie Eilish, Green Day, Chance the Rapper, Monsta X, and Cardi B, who gets an honorable mention for her response to a user who said, “I just watched a muted performance of Cardi B, and that bitch just looks loud without any sound on.”

“How do I look loud? How do I look loud? I’m loud? I don’t even think I’m like loud. Suck my ass,” Cardi said in response. Mic drop.

Watch the full video of celebrities reading mean tweets for yourself, above.

Kourtney Kardashian Had the Best Response to a Fan Who Said She Needs to Cut Her Son's Hair


Kourtney Kardashian isn’t here for fans offering unsolicited opinions about her children. Exhibit A: This Instagram comment she wrote in response to someone saying she needs to cut her son Reign Disick‘s hair.

Let’s back up for a second: On Sunday, October 27, Kardashian posted several photos to Instagram of her children enjoying a weekend away in Santa Ynez, California. Reign is in a few of the pics having the best time and enjoying the outside. But a follower couldn’t help but make a comment about the 4-year-old’s hair. “She really need to cut his hair,” the person wrote.

Kardashian’s response was swift, though. “She really need to not worry about kids that aren’t her own,” she wrote. “He is a happy boy.”

Check out the original post and the comments exchange for yourself, below:

@kourtneykardash

Kourtney Kardashian is the mother of three children: Reign, Penelope, and Mason. Both Reign and Mason share the same birthday, December 14, just five years apart.

“They’re my priorities,” Kardashian told Harper’s Bazaar a few years back about her children. “No matter what’s happening—they always come first. As far as filming in our homes, I think just making sure that they feel comfortable enough that they can walk in any room—even if we’re filming they don’t notice. I want it to always be a comfortable household. Schedules change, so I’ll say, ‘Everybody has to leave by this time, so we can unwind and go to bed.’ This is their home, and I’m always conscious of how they feel.”

When asked about her favorite part of motherhood, she said, “Watching your kids grow every day—watching all the little moments. I actually think my favorite part is that you relive your own childhood—going to Disneyland and watching all the movies I watched when I was a kid. I have so many of the books we read when we were little—so reading all the same books again. It’s really fun—you almost get to be a kid again and do all those magical things.”
