"Sister Wives" fans are slamming Meri Brown for charging $4,000 for a three-night getaway at her Utah-based bed and breakfast, Lizzie's Heritage Inn, and that's just the base price. Meri promoted the options for "supreme, elite, or elite plus" with each level adding an extra $1,000 to the total price. On top of that, the cheapest option doesn't even include a room at the actual property, but rather "at a location near Lizzie's Heritage Inn." The most expensive option gives fans the opportunity to spend "extra time" with Meri personally, according to OK, but many found the cost just ridiculous.

Prince Harry discussed the whole situation with the tiara drama surrounding his wedding to Meghan Markle, and it's pretty much the same story it's been all along – she was going to wear his mom's tiara, but then the Queen offered her collection, but then the Queen said no to one in particular.
Now, we're finding out the reason Meghan was refused her first choice. Meghan wanted to wear an emerald tiara, however there was controversy surrounding the emerald tiara. The royal historian, Robert Lacey, explained, "The treasure was one of those that had found its way into Windsors' hands through 'undefined' not to say dodgy channels—and for an undisclosed price—in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution." Queen Consort Camilla is currently in the same situation. She hoped to wear the famous Koh-i-Noor 105.6 carat diamond tiara to the upcoming coronation, which was last worn in 1937 by the Queen Mother, but the controversial diamond tiara was given to Queen Victoria by the 11-year-old Maharaja Duleep Singh in 1849 as part of the Treaty of Lahore. Due to the colonial history of the treaty, the royal family may be accused of cultural insensitivity if the piece is worn.
It's clear now why Ashley and Wynonna Judd didn't want details of their mom Naomi Judd's death released. Photos of her blood-soaked pillow and bedding have been released (RadarOnline.com has them) as well as a picture of the gun she allegedly used and a note on a Post-It, which read, "Do not let Wy come to my funeral. She's mentally ill." A line was drawn under the word "not." Also released was a series of texts Ashley sent to her mom's therapist, which read in part, "She's having an episode. Yelling and crying and pacing. Emergency. Please come to mom's. Now."
"Kate Plus 8" star Kate Gosselin may suffer long term effects from her injury on FOX's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," RadarOnline.com reports. Kate was quickly eliminated after falling backward out of a helicopter into open water, but when she fell, she landed on her neck. A source said, "Kate's terrified she'll be left with permanent damage." Kate said, "Water and height are two of my absolute fears. Yet at some point making that turn in that helicopter, I remember thinking, 'I'm sorry, you don't have a choice here. I know you're scared to death, you're doing it. Do it and get it over with.' I landed right on my neck and I screamed when I landed because it was absolute ridiculous pain. Then at some point I started feeling nauseous and I was dry heaving over the edge into the water." The pain got worse, but she didn't want to say anything because she was afraid she'd get kicked out, which was exactly what happened. She said, "I'm still so pissed. I'm so angry. I was out and it was done before it even started. It took me so long to get over that. I still don't think I am. Because I really wanted to challenge myself."
The legal team representing Ye doesn't want to anymore, but they can't get a hold of him to tell him that. They filed legal documents saying they would need "alternative means" to formally notify Ye that the firm was no longer representing him. They formally quit on November 30 but Ye has ghosted them and even "deactivated the phone number previously used to contact him," the firm says. They're now asking for permission to use "alternative means" to notify him, which would be putting ads in two Los Angeles papers, according to the New York Post. There's always ad space available during Super Bowl.
