As some are criticizing Harry and Meghan Markle for choosing Lilibet, the Queen's personal family nickname, not only was she was the first to learn about the baby's arrival but Page Six says they heard from royal sources that Harry gave his grandmother a call before Lili was born to get the Queen's blessing. In the meantime, Thomas Markle issued a statement about the birth of Harry and Meghan's daughter, and all he had to say was, "I am very pleased with the announcement of the safe and healthy delivery of my new granddaughter, and I wish her and her mother all my love and best wishes." Of course, we haven't heard from Meghan's sister, Samantha, yet…
"Gone Girl" actress Emily Ratajkowski spent her birthday getting mom-shamed, and deservedly so. She just welcomed her first child, son Sylvester Apollo, in March, and she posted some vacay pics with baby Sylvester on Instagram in their matching swimsuits. But people are taking issue with the way she's holding Sylvester in a few of the photos, with one arm without supporting his back and head. At one point he's even slipping out of her arm and she's barely got him by the shoulder. After getting plenty of criticism in the comments – including from Piers Morgan – Emily has since turned comments off on the post.

Simone Biles, 24, won her seventh-straight all-around title at the 2021 U.S. Gymnastics Championships on Sunday in Ft. Worth, Texas. Simone remains undefeated at the nationals since 2013 and becomes the first American woman to win the title seven times. She faced some criticism at the event this year over images of a goat (greatest of all time) on her leotards, but isn't it safe to say she's earned it? Also, Simone had complained she was underscored on some of her performances, and the competition heads wouldn't tell her why. Some in the industry believe they're afraid higher scores would not only place her well above the competition and they want to keep it close and competitive, while others note it could be to discourage other gymnasts from trying moves that could injure them.

Mariah Carey has shot down reports that she had a huge blowout with Jay-Z. As we previously told you, The Sun claimed Mariah split from Jay-Z's company Roc Nation after a huge argument, but she tweeted, "The only "explosive" situation I'd ever "get into" with Hov is a creative tangent, such as our #1 song "Heartbreaker"!! To the people who make up these lies I say "Poof! —Vamoose, sonofa*****"!" The doesn't change the fact that she did leave the company. According to TMZ, Mariah prefers to work with a smaller team where she has more personal time with managers.
"Pioneer Woman" Ree Drummond's nephew, Caleb, was arrested in OK for DWI. According to TMZ, police were called around 5 AM on April 17 about a Ford truck that had been stopped at a light for at least 3 cycles. Police found Caleb sleeping behind the wheel, with the truck still in drive and his foot on the brake. They said the car reeked of booze, and they found a cold open beer along with a box of ammo and a loaded 9mm handgun. When police asked for his driver's license, they say he handed them a credit card.
The arrest comes about a month after Caleb was in an accident on Ree's ranch, crashing into her husband while the two of them were driving trucks towards a fire.
Ellie Kemper from "The Office" and the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is finally responding to the Veiled Prophet Ball controversy that surfaced over Memorial Day weekend. She was crowned the Queen of Love and Beauty back in 1999 when she was a 19-year-old freshman at Princeton. The organization, which dates back to the 1870s, originally banned Black and Jewish members, something that changed in the 1970's. But now, Ellie has taken to Instagram to explain her participation in a debutante ball that had "an unquestionably racist, sexist, and elitist past." She said, "I was not aware of this history at the time, but ignorance is no excuse. I was old enough to have educated myself before getting involved," adding, "I want to apologize to the people I've disappointed. promise that moving forward, I will listen, continue to educate myself, and use my privilege in support of the better society I think we're capable of becoming."
Tristan Thompson's alleged baby mama Kimberly Alexander showed off the birth certificate for her son for the first time since accusing Khloe Kardashian's baby daddy of being her baby daddy too. Kimberly posted a screenshot of part of her son Peyton's birth certificate to point out Tristan's lawyers have the date wrong. She added, "He knows the date and is scared it will show he was a cheater once again!!" Here's the thing – she doesn't show the baby's last name in the post, but when a fan asked if the baby's last name is Thompson, she replied, "Yes, it was never a reason to think he wasn't his father." Remember, Tristan has taken a paternity test, proving he is not the father, and Kimberly, who is angry with Tristan for refusing another test, recently admitted she faked a screenshot that made it look like she and Khloe were having a conversation over the situation. Someone get Maury Povich on this!

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt's son, Pax, decided to skip his high school graduation ceremony because of his parents' high-profile custody and divorce battle. According The Sun, sources said Pax decided to not attend the June 5 event at his school because he didn't want to make it a "circus."

Khloé Kardashian has responded to a hater mocking her over plastic surgery as she appears in a new commercial for the migraine medication Nurtec. On person wrote, "Does research indicate that the more plastic surgery someone has the more likely they are to suffer from migraines? What kind of pharmaceutical company chooses someone who has had so much plastic surgery they look like an alien, as their spokesperson?" Khloe responded, "Sorry you feel that way. You have every right to block/mute me. I am trying to help many out there who suffer in silence." She's also getting called a "hypocrite" for preaching about single-use plastic bottles. As many pointed out, this is coming from the woman who uses hundreds of plastic balloons and a bajillion flowers for her parties and travels by private jet often. To be fair, she brought this on herself when she posted directly to the trolls and bullies to bring it on.
Ellen Pompeo isn't really a doctor, but she plays one on TV. So when the "Grey's Anatomy" star found out that her picture was on the wall of an urgent care clinic, she had a classic reaction. Twitter user Alphonso Van Marsh posted the picture with the caption, "When you a 'walk in' to a #Manhattan #NewYork urgent care clinic [and there are] pics of fictional doctors on examination room wall. Waiting to hear, "'..paging Dr. #Grey, Dr. #House…' Ellen responded, "Grab your stuff and get the hell out of there." I would have laughed if I saw the picture, but I would have been nervous if I saw a degree next to it.
