'Big Little Lies' might be giving us the most GIF-able TV season of all time - CNN

The drama was alive and well in the second episode of the sophomore season -- unlike Perry. (Burn.)

Renata learned she's poor now. Madeline's (Reese Witherspoon) loud-mouth child Chloe spilled the beans to Ziggy and Celeste's (Nicole Kidman) twins that they're half-brothers and no one was happy about it, especially Jane (Shailene Woodley) who had the unfortunate job of explaining to her child the definition of the word assault.

Celeste continued to work on her trauma in therapy in scenes that artfully and sensitively painted a visceral picture of how difficult that process can be. Ed (Adam Scott) declared he wanted to leave Madeline after finding out about her infidelity. Bonnie (Zoe Kravitz) continued accessorizing her guilt with constant moping. And not to be forgotten, Mary Louise (Meryl Streep) remained determined to get to the bottom of Perry's murder and everyone, especially Celeste, knows she's capable of doing so.

In fact, it's increasingly apparent that there's little Mary Louise is incapable of.

Take for instance, the episode's earliest GIF-able moment, when Mary Louise put Madeline in her place for what seems like the 25th time in two episodes.

"I suspect you are a godsend," Mary Louise said, playing with her necklace in a way that emphasizes her ability to make casually cutting comments. "But on your bad days, decidedly less so."

Perfection.

This episode gave Renata (Laura Dern) multiple chances to have what can only be described as Emmy Reel moments.

Early in the episode, her husband was arrested in front of a crowd of people, leaving her horrified and mortified. She later learned his misdeeds have left the family without a cent, leading to an explosion of Renata proportions.

"I will NOT NOT BE RICH," Mt. Renata screams, with fury.

When her husband posted bail, she became furious when he seems to insinuated that her constant "want" -- a theme of this season, perhaps -- pushed him to make extreme choices.

She got so angry she kicks him out of the car. As she does, she begs of the frustrated, honking drivers behind her: "Will somebody give a woman a moment?"

You can have a moment, Laura Dern. Will one on the Emmy stage work for you?

'Bogus, tasteless': O.J. Simpson denies rumors he fathered Khloe Kardashian with Kris Jenner - RT

Former NFL star O.J. Simpson has taken to his newly-launched Twitter account to deny rumors that he had fathered Khloe Kardashian with Kris Jenner.

The rumors, Simpson says, are being spread by Norman Pardo, a man who "the media love to say is my manager."

Speaking in a video message via his new Twitter account, Simpson strenuously denied any involvement with Kris Jenner, and denied the rumors surrounding him potentially being Khloe's biological father.

"I never - and I want to stress never - in any way, shape or form had I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically, sexually and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me," he said.

"So all of these stories are just bogus. Bad, you know? Tasteless."

Rumors of Simpson fathering Khloe are nothing new, and came before the Kardashian children became household names in the United States with their famed reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, with one episode featuring Khloe discussing the possibility that she was adopted.

"Khloe, like all the girls (from the Kardashian family), I'm very proud of, just like I know Bob would be if he was here," he said.

"But the simple facts of the matter is she's not mine."

And on the topic of Pardo, Simpson stated that he had never been his manager, despite media reports to the contrary.

"I've always managed my own affairs, and I'd like to think very successfully," he said.

"So, when you see these guys like Norm, and these guys claim that they are my manager, it's just not true.

"I may have done a deal here or there with them, but none of these guys were anything remotely like a manager for me."

Simpson increased his public profile on Friday by launching a Twitter account, @TheRealOJ32 after previously staying away from the public eye. In his first post he said he had some "getting even to do."

The former NFL legend for the Buffalo Bills was released from prison in 2017 after being jailed for robbery and kidnapping in a bid to steal back sports memorabilia previously stolen from him.

He was also charged, then acquitted, of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman after a highly-publicized trial.

'Big Little Lies:' Tell-Tale Hearts Unleashes More Secrets - Showbiz Cheat Sheet

In Big Little LiesTell-Tale Hearts, some secrets The Monterey Five have held on to are finally uncovered. Celeste Wright’s twins and Jane Chapman’s son find out they’re half brothers due to Chloe Mackenzie eavesdropping on Madeline’s conversations. Ed also realized that Madeline has kept secrets from him, upsetting the usually calm man. What other secrets does the Tell-Tale Hearts episode unleash?

Does Mary Louise Wright suspect Celeste Wright of murder?

In Big Little Lies Tell-Tale Hearts, Mary Louise admitted she looks at Celeste as an “enigma,” the same way Perry Wright described her to his mother. After she found out that Perry had another child that she never knew about, Mary Louise began to question Celeste. Celeste tried to explain the abusive relationship between herself and Perry and that he fathered another child by rape. Mary Louise refused to accept this and claimed Jane Chapman could have been drugged, drunk, or mistaken.

Mary Louise also doesn’t believe her late son truly beat Celeste because Celeste never called the cops. She then pointed out the convenience of Celeste learning about the child just minutes before Perry’s death and already planned on leaving him that same day. Mary Louise realizes she has too many questions and not enough answers, so she’s going to the police.

Ziggy Chapman found out he has step-brothers

Chloe Mackenzie overheard her mother talking on the phone, and told Celeste’s children, Max and Josh, that they have a brother in second grade. She also told Jane’s son, Ziggy, the same. When Madeline Mackenzie found out, she took Chloe’s phone away and called Jane to let her know.

Jane talked to Ziggy and admitted they are his half-brothers. He said he’s known for a few months and didn’t tell her because he knew she would lie. Jane explained she never told him the identity of his father because she genuinely didn’t know. When she did find out, she didn’t know how to explain it to him. Ziggy also told his mom that Chloe said Perry “salted” her.

He meant “assault,” and Jane explained to him what the word means and what happened between her and Perry. Big Little Lies Tell-Tale Hearts ended with Celeste and her boys coming over to Jane’s house for dinner.

Ed Mackenzie discovered Madeline Mackenzie had an affair

After Chloe repeated Ziggy’s father situation, Ed told Madeline he never knew and questioned why she didn’t tell him. He got upset because he felt like Madeline hides secrets from him. Therefore, it hit the ceiling when Ed walked in on a conversation between Madeline and Abigail Carlson.

Abigail brought up Madeline’s previous affair with the theater director, and Ed was so angry he left the house. He eventually came back later that night to talk to Madeline.

She admitted to the affair but said it happened a long time ago and had nothing to do with Ed. She reminds him repeatedly that it’s a “her” thing, and also suggested they go to couples’ counseling.

Madeline also said Abigail has known for a year, and once again he hates that his daughters know her secrets, and she doesn’t tell him anything. Ed tells her, very firmly, that their marriage is over in Big Little Lies Tell-Tale Hearts.

Renata Klein realizes her husband lost their money in ‘Big Little Lies’ Tell-Tale Hearts

When Renata should be celebrating her magazine cover, her husband, Gordon Klein gets arrested on charges for security, mail, and wire fraud. He admitted to Renata that he probably lost all their money and the reality of not being rich anymore enraged Renata. She attempted to talk her feelings out with Madeline but ended up leaving quickly after deciding she should call an estate lawyer.

Renata picked Gordon up from jail once he was released on bond and then left him on the side of the road in a fit of anger. She then quickly turned around and allowed Gordon to get back in the car.

Here’s Baby Archie, on Prince Harry’s First Father’s Day - The New York Times

Hello, world. An image of 6-week-old Archie Mountbatten-Windsor was published on social media by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for Father’s Day.CreditThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex

LONDON — The first time Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was introduced to the world in Windsor, a mere two days after he was born in May, he slept through the meet-and-greet with selected reporters and flashing cameras.

He wore a knit cap then, and his face was barely visible in the arms of his excited father, Prince Harry, a.k.a. the Duke of Sussex. His mother, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, stood by them, smiling nonstop.

The second time, in a post on Instagram, we saw only his feet peeking out from a cream blanket.

On Sunday, as Britain and other countries celebrated Father’s Day, the British royals unveiled Archie again — at least part of him — on Instagram in all his bald, bright-eyed glory.

The black-and white image shows him staring intently at the camera, clutching the finger of a man presumed to be Harry. And, to be fair, his tiny head bore signs of a fuzz.

By Sunday evening, the image had racked up more than 1.5 million “likes.” The reaction was predictably rapturous — “Beautiful” was a popular sentiment — but some commentators wanted more.

Perhaps eager to deduce if Archie is a ginger like his father, one person wrote: “Why won’t they show his hair color?! I’m dying over here!”

After giving birth to their first child, the duchess had mostly kept out of the public eye, choosing to be absent from functions like President Trump’s controversial state visit to Britain this month.

But days later, she appeared at trooping the color, an annual parade that has marked the official birthday of the British sovereign for more than 260 years. (Queen Elizabeth II’s 93rd birthday actually fell in April.)

The queen met her eighth grandchild — who is seventh in line to the throne — at Windsor soon after his birth; the occasion was again revealed on social media, and only a sliver of Archie’s cheek was visible in the photo. Prince Philip and the duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland, were also present.

Since becoming a couple, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have upended certain traditions, including tossing out the traditional photo opportunity to showcase the newest royal in favor of choosing carefully curated images online — rankling most of the British press.

Now, as if in answer to an unspoken national plea to “Show us your baby!” the couple obliged.

But they appear determined to do it in tiny bits, perhaps out of privacy concerns. For the duchess’s first Mother’s Day, the couple unfurled a photo of Archie’s feet, with the hand of a woman presumed to be the duchess cupping them.

Quoting the writer Nayyirah Waheed, the post read:

“My mother was my first country; the first place I ever lived.”

Taylor Swift teases all-star celebrity lineup for new 'You Need to Calm Down' music video - USA TODAY

Hannah Yasharoff USA TODAY

Published 1:35 PM EDT Jun 16, 2019

It's hard to calm down after reading the list of all-star celebrities set to appear in Taylor Swift's new music video.

The pop star posted a teaser for her "You Need to Calm Down" video, which is scheduled for release Monday morning at 8:15 a.m. ET. The song, which debuted Thursday, is a cheeky bop dedicated to celebrating Pride and an anti-hate anthem.

For her upcoming new album, "Lover," Swift has ditched the dark, sinister color tones of her "Reputation" album in favor of candy-coated rainbow ones. The new music video teaser follows suit with pink lemonade, flowers, bowls of candy and a shot of Swift lounging on a pool float that would make Elle Woods proud.
