George, Amal Clooney NOT Spending $1 Million On Babies’ Delivery, Despite Report

George Amal Clooney Delivery

George Clooney and Amal Clooney are not spending $ 1 million on the delivery of their soon-to-be-born twin babies, despite a made-up tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively debunk this fake news.

An article in the latest issue of Star purports to know all the details of the couple’s birthing plan. A supposed “source” tells the magazine that the parents-to-be have reserved an entire wing at an upscale London hospital, which runs around $ 450,000 a week. The outlet’s dubious insider further claims the Clooneys also have a team of doctors on standby at a separate hospital closer to their London home, just in case Amal gives birth sooner than expected.

Additionally, says the magazine’s questionable insider, the couple is paying the royal family’s doctor $ 200,000 to deliver their twins. But Gossip Cop looked into the publication’s story, and a trustworthy source close to the couple tells us it’s all inaccurate. The famous spouses obviously have the means to ensure that Amal’s pregnancy goes as smoothly as possible, but they’re simply not spending $ 1 million on the twins’ birth.

Unfortunately, Gossip Cop has had to correct many bogus stories surrounding the human rights lawyer’s pregnancy. We previously busted Star’s sister outlet, the National Enquirer, for falsely claiming George was experiencing “sympathy pregnancy problems.” Gossip Cop also debunked that magazine’s tall tale about Amal hiring unattractive nannies to prevent George from cheating. This latest article is similarly untrue.

LeBron James’ Los Angeles Home Spray Painted With ‘N-Word’

LeBron James Home Vandalized N Word

The front gate of LeBron James’ Los Angeles home was spray painted with the n-word on early Wednesday morning and the act of vandalism is now being investigated as a possible hate crime.

According to TMZ, the Los Angeles Police Department and a neighborhood patrol vehicle arrived at the NBA star’s home after receiving a call about the derogatory graffiti. James wasn’t home at the time of the incident as the Cleveland Cavaliers player is currently in San Francisco ahead of Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors.

The authorities are reportedly searching for security footage from nearby houses in an effort to catch the perpetrator who wrote the racial slur, which has since been covered up. As Gossip Cop has reported, vandals have targeted the houses and properties of a number of celebrities in the past. Earlier this year, the exterior of the Kardashians’ Dash store was vandalized with spray paint. And last summer, the c-word was spray painted on Harry Styles’ London home.

Additionally, Kendall Jenner’s Calvin Klein billboard in New York was vandalized in 2015 after a drone piloted by a graffiti artist spray painted red lines across the model’s face. A number of celebrities have also had their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame vandalized with spray paint, including Mariah Carey, Bill Cosby and President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump tweeted early Wednesday morning, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” and now celebrities are mocking the non-intelligible tweet. Currently, the president has not pulled down or corrected the message and its nonsensical word (below). As a result, a slew of stars are having a field day poking fun of and trying to explain what “covfefe” means.

Zach Braff asked, “How are we expected to go to sleep while the covfefe tweet is still up?” Rob Lowe opined that “Covefefe” was “Slang for ‘Ah, f**ck it, I give up!’ #covfefe.” Rob Reiner offered that it was an acronym for “Collusion Of Vile Fatuous Evil Fascist Egomaniacs.” And Rosie O’Donnell wrote, “hello – donald did u have a stroke – someone check on him – @potus @IvankaTrump – dad has half tweeted about “covfefe” HE NEEDS HELP -#CHECK.”

Jimmy Kimmel shared, “More what makes me saddest is that I know I’ll never write anything funnier than #covfefe.” “Despite your best intentions, you are the world’s biggest idiskiot,” mocked Josh Gad. He then joked, “Really bummed he beat us to the chase but, #Covfefe is the villain in Frozen 2.” And Will Arnett mocked, “Huh. Well…we know that it’s not that his fingers are too big for the keyboard…”

Marlee Matlin tweeted, “No, there is no sign for #covfefe. But I sure wish there was!” Howie Mandel cracked, “There’s only one word that can describe how I feel tonight, covfefe.” “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Covfefe,” added Patton Oswalt. Josh Groban admitted, “In all seriousness literally every single covfefe tweet is making me giggle like a titmouse.” Meanwhile, Beth Behrs wrote, “I really just wanna go to sleep but #Covfefe.”

Ruby Rose expressed, “It’s happened! #Covfefe has united everyone from all across the world. To laugh and live as one.. Basically Covfefe is trumps nightmare.” Nia Vardalos joked, “Cousin #Covfefe is in MyBigFatGreekWedding.” Billy Eichner tweeted, “When they go low, we covfefe.” He continued in another message, “He’s the President. He’s the President of the United States. #NotMyCovfefe.” And Elizabeth Banks wrote, “Do we pronounce the “v” or is the “v” silent? It’s all happening so fast,” adding, “May the odds be ever in your #covfefe.”

Ricky Gervais shared, “He definitely dropped the phone down the toilet and now he’s got his arm stuck.” “@realDonaldTrump you are so insane that I pray every day I am a sim being played by aliens,” Chrissie Teigen joked. And Lena Dunham offered, “Y’all I don’t have what it takes to even laugh at Covfefe.”

Trump himself later tweeted, “Who can figure out the true meaning of “covfefe” ??? Enjoy!” Gossip Cop will continue to update as more celebrities covfefe.

Teen Mom OG’s Maci Bookout Admits She Worries Ex Ryan Edwards Might Die From Drug Abuse

Maci Bookout is very concerned for her ex, Ryan Edwards.

The Teen Mom star revealed her worries during Monday’s episode of Teen Mom OG, which found the women, sans Farrah Abraham, who wasn’t invited, on a vacation in Puerto Rico. While there, it was all about emotional and honest conversations, as Maci, Amber Portwood, and Catelynn Baltierra talked candidly about their lives.

Perhaps the most startling confession came from Maci, who admitted she was deeply worried about Ryan, who is the father of her oldest child, eight-year-old Bentley.

She said:

“I don’t think Ryan and I would have ended up together no matter what. Even if we didn’t get pregnant.”

To which Amber replied:

“Ryan’s fucked up. I watch it, I see it, I know it. Where he’s at right now, when I see him, I know where he’s at and I’m like, ‘Wow, he needs some guidance.'”

Catelynn then questioned whether anybody had tried to get Ryan into treatment, and Maci responded:

“[Ryan] would do it. It’s everyone else around him that’s too afraid to admit it. What I’m saying is that everyone else around him is too afraid of what it will look like more than his health. It’s all denial. They all know.”

She added:

“Honestly, the hardest thing is for me to see Ryan not love himself because he is a person worth loving. He deserves to love himself.”

Maci also admitted, through tears, that she’s afraid for her ex’s life, saying:

“I’m just sick of cleaning up his mess. I get tired of dealing with the shit. Just being the only one that fucking sees everything and cares. I talk to [her husband] Taylor [McKinney] about it like, ‘I wonder if today’s going to be the day that Ryan does something that he can’t come back from?'”

In the end, Maci resolved to tell Ryan to get help, telling her husband:

“I’m just going to be like, ‘You have to go to rehab.’ Right now is legitimately about saving his life. Most nights I’m crying in our bed talking to you about whether or not today is the day that he’s going to die or when I’m going to do something about it or how I should do something about it. And you’ve always just been there for me. Thank you for being there for me and for not making me feel like that’s not what I should be doing. I appreciate it.”

We really feel for Maci. It’s not easy to watch your child’s father go through something like this.

Here’s hoping Ryan can get the help he needs and turn his life around for his loved ones.

Tiger Woods Statement On DUI Arrest: “I Take Full Responsibility”

Tiger Woods DUI Statement

Tiger Woods broke his silence on his DUI arrest on Monday night, taking “full responsibility,” but denying he was drunk. See statement below.

As Gossip Cop reported, Woods was arrested for DUI in Jupiter, Florida early Monday morning. Police reportedly observed him driving erratically, and took him into custody when he allegedly refused a Breathalyzer test. He was released hours later on his own recognizance.

Now after more hours have passed, Woods is speaking out. “I understand the severity of what I did and I take full responsibility for my actions. I want the public to know that alcohol was not involved. What happened was an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications. I didn’t realize the mix of medications affected me so strongly,” he says.

Woods continues, “I would like to apologize with all my heart to my family, friends, and the fans. I expect more from myself, too. I will do everything in my power to ensure this never happens again. I fully cooperated with law enforcement, and I would like to personally thank the representatives of the Jupiter Police Dept. and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for their professionalism.”

Woods is recovering from fusion back surgery, which he underwent just over a month ago. Ostensibly, the medication he refers to is part of his recovery, but he did not specifically say. As Gossip Cop noted earlier, Woods updated fans just days ago about undergoing rehabilitation in hopes of returning to the golf course. “I haven’t felt this good in years,” he insisted in a blog post, adding, “There’s a long way to go, but as I said, words cannot convey how good it feels to be pain-free.”

Apparently, though, he still needs a “mix of medications.” It’s unclear how his criminal case will now proceed. Gossip Cop will have updates as appropriate.

‘The Bachelorette’ Recap: Rachel Lindsay Has First One-On-One Date, Boots DeMario Before Rose Ceremony

Rachel Lindsay Bachelorette Recap May 29

(ABC)

On Monday’s “The Bachelorette,” Rachel Lindsay went on her first one-on-one date, two group dates, and even sent one guy home before the rose ceremony. There were also appearances by Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, as well as by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who tried to help Rachel find real love. Get the full recap and spoilers below!

As Gossip Cop previously reported, last week was the season premiere of “The Bachelorette,” during which Rachel met her 31 men. She gave the first impression rose to Miami chiropractor Bryan, who she kissed a few times throughout the first episode. She also sent home eight men at the first rose ceremony, leaving 23 suitors vying for her heart.

Rachel began episode two by going on her first group date with eight men. Joining her at a ranch were Dean, Jack, Jonathan, Blake E., Diggy, Kenny, Fred, and Lucas aka “Whaboom.” And they were all joined by Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who first explained the show is their “guilty pleasure.” The two celebrities then told the men they were going to compete in an obstacle course to prove they were “husband material.”

Among the challenges were changing a baby’s dirty diaper, putting on a baby Bjorn and vacuuming, cleaning a bathtub and kitchen sink (with the baby), and setting a dinner table with a highchair before grabbing roses and crossing the finishing line. For the most part, the guys proved they couldn’t handle it. “Whaboom” actually won, but only did so because he violently pushed Kenny away at the end of the obstacle course. Still, she gave the group date rose to Dean, who she kissed at the end of the night.

Next, Rachel went on her first one-on-one date with Peter. He was the first man to be shown emerging from the limo last week and believed to be the man to whom Rachel is now engaged. For their date, they flew on a private jet to Palm Springs, where they attended “Bark Fest” with Rachel’s dog Copper. At the poolside event, Copper enjoyed the activities for the dogs, while Rachel and Peter really connected. She even told the camera that their one-on-one date “completely exceeded expectations.” The bachelorette also said Peter was not only outwardly “handsome” and “dreamy,” but also had a “beautiful soul from within.”

Afterwards, they shared a romantic dinner during which they both talked about the spaces between their front teeth and how their kids would definitely have a gap. They also talked about how their hearts had been broken, with each admitting they got help from a relationship therapist. Rachel then gave Peter a rose, and told the camera that she was “extremely hopeful” for their future. She also said, “I am such a smitten kitten over Peter” and that she had “butterflies” around him.

For his part, Peter told the camera that Rachel was “someone I could see myself spending the rest of my life with.” They then kissed. Next, they headed outdoors and were treated to fireworks, where they made out even more.

For her third date of the show, Rachel and 10 men played basketball, with NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar coaching. Those chosen were Adam, Alex, DeMario, Eric, Iggy, Jamey, Josiah, Lee, Matt and Will. Jabbar said he was not only looking for who had basketball skills, but also the right “character.” He then told Rachel that basketball and romance had a lot in common “because it’s about “teamwork.” The bachelorette noted she was taken aback by DeMario because as they practiced, he dunked on her.

In the past, Jabbar has been openly critical of “The Bachelor” franchise, calling it “network romance porn” that sets “the bar for falling in love so low” because of its emphasis on physical attributes. He also slammed the show for its “lack of racial diversity,” and expressed that black contestants were just a “courtesy for a few weeks before being ejected.” Of course, with Rachel at “The Bachelorette,” the basketball player has clearly changed his mind.

Some of the men, however, freaked out when told they were going to have to play before a packed gym, complete with cheerleaders and a band. After the game, a woman named Lexi up to Rachel and told her she was DeMario’s girlfriend. Whoops. As Gossip Cop reported during the premiere, before the bachelorette met the men, she spoke with several friends from Nick Viall’s season and heard from Whitney that DeMario, an executive recruiter from Los Angeles, still had a girlfriend at home. Lexi told a shocked Rachel, “We never broke up,” and “he literally still has the keys to my apartment.”

Rachel then went into the locker room asked DeMario to join her. He thought it because he played well during the game. But once he was back on the court, he was confronted by his girlfriend, who said, “Karma’s a bitch.” DeMario pretended like he didn’t know the woman. “Who’s this?” he said. Lexi then tore into him.

DeMario asked for the cameras to be turned off, but that didn’t happen. He later conceded they hung out a “few times,” and that he broke it off with Lexi “face to face” a while ago. But the scorned woman showed Rachel recent texts messages from her two-timing man. The bachelorette then ripped DeMario, telling him, “I’m not here to be played.” Rachel added, “I need you to get the f**k out. I can’t even look at you right now.” And with that, she kicked him off the show and told the other guys to tell her right if they had girlfriends.

At the cocktail party with the remaining nine guys from the basketball game, Josiah weighed in about how upset he was with DeMario. Rachel was clearly moved by his words because they made out. The other guys also expressed their anger during their alone time with the bachelorette. Eric also kissed Rachel that night. In the end, the date rose went to Josiah.

At the end of the episode, DeMario came back to the mansion. Security stopped him and then got Chris Harrison, who asked why he was there. When DeMario said he wanted to speak to Rachel one last time, Harrison told him he would check with the bachelorette. Rachel only agreed to see him because security was there and she was “curious” what he had to say. And with that the show ended.

Jaden Smith: The Four Seasons Hotel In Toronto Spiked My Pancakes With Cheese And Kicked Me Out

When a trip up to Canada goes wrong!

Jaden Smith tweeted out Saturday that he had a little run-in with the people from the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, claiming that they “spiked” his pancakes with cheese and kicked him out of his hotel room.

In a series of tweets posted to his multi-millions of Twitter followers, Smith looked like he had quite the vendetta against the hotel, writing in quick succession:

Hmmm…

OK, one unrelated question: why (and how) is he capitalizing every single word? Does his phone just do that naturally or does he have to hit the caps button every word???

So many questions…

But no pancakes with cheese!!!
