In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Kourtney Kardashian talked about her IVF journey with husband Travis Barker and admitted, "We started an IVF journey, but I stopped. It was a lot. I took a break to just focus on our wedding and getting married." She also mentioned that she was on a wellness journey, which includes something called an "Ayurvedic Panchakarma cleanse," which means going without things like caffeine, sugar, alcohol - and yes, sex. Shee said, "I was doing it mostly for cleansing my body (in preparation to) hopefully have a baby." The good news for Travis - the cleanse only lasts five days - and then it's game on.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have changed their social media sites to reflect that they are now the "Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge." The Duke of Cornwall is traditionally held by the eldest son of the reigning British monarch, with his wife taking the Duchess title. The couple is also expected to inherit the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales. The Guardian reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's children Archie, 3, and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor, 1, will now be allowed to use "prince" and "princess." The newspaper explains that under rules "established by King George V in 1917 the children and grandchildren of a sovereign have the automatic right to the title HRH and prince or princess." As the great-grandchildren of a sovereign, Archie and Lili were not entitled to HRH roles. They had to be given by the Queen explicitly if she wanted them to have them.
Billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott has donated two Beverly Hills mansions worth about $55 million to a California housing charity.

Amongst the richest people in the world, MacKenzie has pledged to give away the majority of her wealth in her lifetime and has given away more than $12 billion in recent years.

It's the debate that won't die. Ray J has posted a 44-minute video where he calls out Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian over the sex tape sold to Vivid Entertainment. In the video, Ray J shows the contract having to do with the video - actually, it mentions three videos, and he says Kris hand-picked the one where Kim looked the best. Recently, Kris passed a polygraph test on "The Late Late Show with James Corden." about whether or not she was involved in negotiating with tabloids for the tape, and she passed. Ray, though, says Kris definitely played her part. At the very least, Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch, who has said he bought the tape from "a third party," added that "We are very confident in our legal position." In California, the people in the tape have to sign off on an image or video's distribution, according to TMZ, so all the tears Kim cried over the release were fake.
Another sexual assault complaint has been filed against Ricky Martin by his 21-year-old nephew Dennis Yadiel Sanchez. Ricky's lawyer said, "These claims are wildly offensive and completely untethered from reality.
When this man previously made similar allegations, his legal case had to be withdrawn — not least because he himself admitted under oath that Ricky Martin had never assaulted him in any way." His new accusations come just days after Ricky filed a $20 million lawsuit against his nephew, to compensate for the numerous, multi-million dollar deals he's lost due to the false allegations, according to the New York Post.
Two of Queen Elizabeth's beloved pet corgis will live with the Duke and Duchess of York. Although divorced since 1996, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson are close friends and live at Royal Lodge on the Windsor Estate.
The late monarch is reported to have four dogs, including two Pembroke Welsh corgis, an older mixed breed "dorgi," and a cocker spaniel. It's not clear who will take care of the other two dogs. Sarah and the queen bonded over the corgis and Andrew gave his mother her last dog. The Queen loved corgis and had dozens in her lifetime. She received her first corgi puppy, Susan, in 1944 for her 18th birthday.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Britney Spears claimed that she will likely never perform on stage again. In the post, she wrote that she was traumatized during her 13-year conservatorship and would rather give it all up, saying, "no I probably won't perform again just because I'm stubborn and I will make my point." She also admitted that, "I will be honest in the beginning 13 years of conservatorship like 8 videos I only like one - Work B****." Britney also called out her father Jamie Spears saying that he controlled her image too, saying he used "The most offensive SO CALLED professional pictures on every tour. I mean they could have at least cheated and retouched them for me … just saying."

Anna Kendrick shared a video from the Toronto International Film Festival of her and about 8 or 9 other passengers getting stuck in a crowded elevator. She and her team were on their way to an event for her new movie, "Alice, Darling," when the elevator stopped between floors. At least everyone seemed calm, with Anna even joking, "Guys we have to ration the limited food supply that we have." Firefighters were able to lower a ladder so they could all climb out, and Anna said she was thankful she wasn't wearing a short skirt.
The 74th Annual Emmy Awards were handed out last night, with "The White Lotus," "Ted Lasso" and "Succession" among the big winners. Overall, "The White Lotus" had the most wins, 10, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series for Jennifer Coolidge. HBO's "Euphoria" and Netflix's "Squid Game" each took home six wins, with Zendaya nabbing Best Actress in a Drama for "Euphoria" for a second time, making her the youngest two-time Emmy winner. Also, "Squid Game" earned two big awards, with Lee Jung-Jae winning Lead Actor in a Drama and Hwang Dong-hyuk winning for directing, the first Asian director to win the drama series category, and the first-ever director to win for a non-English language series. Outstanding Comedy went to "Ted Lasso" again this year, with Jason Sudeikis winning Outstanding Actor and Brett Goldstein earning Outstanding Supporting Actor, and once again cursing in his speech, although he promised he wouldn't.
Of course, many felt Keenan Thompson from "Saturday Night Live" should have won an Emmy for his Leonardo DiCaprio joke about only dating younger women. Keenan said, "Zendaya just turned 26. 26 is a weird age in Hollywood. Young enough to play a high school student, but too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio."

As Queen Elizabeth's funeral procession made its way through the streets of Edinburgh on Monday, a man in the crowds started shouting out insults to the Queen's son, Andrew was walking behind her casket. He was yelling things like, "Andrew, you're a sick old man!" before police ended up reportedly arresting him for a breach of the peace. See the video at tmz.com. You may recall Andrew settled a lawsuit back in February after a woman named Virginia Giuffre claimed he had sex with when she was still a minor, something he has denied.
Talking to Variety, Jennifer Lawrence weighed in on one of her passions - reality TV, and specifically "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," saying "Not a great season, but I'll finish it." She was at the Toronto International Film Festival talking about her new PTSD drama "Causeway," but decided to focus the conversation on housewife Erika Jayne. Jennifer said, "My biggest problem with this season is that it's just been boring. And I think that Erika is evil. I would go so far as to say she needs a publicist ASAP." Jennifer's co-star, Tyree Henry, jumped in and said, "Don't drag me into this. I don't want Dorinda or Erika coming for me, we're good." No word on if she actually talked about her movie or not at any given point, but it does sound like she got a lot off her chest.
