The stories still keep coming out. Some are true, some we know this can't be right and then there are those somewhere in between. And no definitive end of them either in sight apparently.
Will we find out what happened about the house they allegedly bought and may have sold? Where would they move to next? Montecito was always kind of funny choice for what ever the direction they were trying to move in back then (more towards her having lots of acting options which seemed a lot less likely in that particular geographic spot - farther from centrality of action).
Will we see more pictures of any of the kids?
Is Spotify a lost cause? What about the Netflix venture? Supposedly getting some help to bring Pearl to fruition (thanks to David). Not much about that lately, right?
And book releases? Tom Bower's. And the one to be written by Harry. Tom's will come out but will Harry's?
January can be such a let down kind of month after all the franticness of the holidays and New Year build up.
Chatting to be continued.

I dunno. At this stage even Cardi B would have made a better Duchess than that sorry attempt by TBW. At least she's successful and making real life 🤑.
Seriously, I agree...Vulgar!
Modern version of Typhoid Mary
That's a good one!!!
😉
@Sandie: Thank you! That was a delicious bit of juice.
I totally believe all of it.
There were neighbors around here at one time. They never came out of the house, one never knew exactly how many people were living in the house, and it came as a complete surprise to everyone when one day there was a 2 year old toddler. Those neighbors are gone, but they were mysterious, never left the house, and when they did they acted totally paranoid.
Which brings to mind that someone somewhere dx Mrs. Dollar as paranoid. That I believe. The Dollars never leave the house. They sit in there all day, smoking weed, watching television, he plays video games.
Adele drinks with Mr. Dollar, and didn't invite him to her concert. That says that there's no love lost between Adele and the witch. Adele knew the witch would do something to make the concert about herself. * is the ball and chain in that couple.
As for Cardi B wanting to contact Mrs. Dollar. I don't know about the lawsuit, have no information if its true, but those things are only successful after a long haul of discovery, that is proving beyond a doubt, that the slander caused someone to lose money, accusations of stealing intellectual/creative property, loss of their livelihood, etc. So far Mr. & Mrs. Dollar have put out endless PR of their stupendous earnings, i.e., giving speeches, making podcasts, making documentaries, merchandising, etc. And the Dollars have certainly slandered countless people on both sides of their families.
Piers compares Adele to TBW.
Our posts crossed in the mail. We both mention Adele!
Thanks for the post of Pier's article. He is absolutely correct. Diva behavior.
Would love for the BLG to do an analysis on Adele's apology video. Is it just me, or does it seem like she is shedding crocodile tears? Especially in light of the information that Piers reported that other media outlets were saying was the real reason for the cancellation.
Diva behavior indeed.
Surprised that it hasn't happened already.
You'd think that they would have had their friend Omid Scoobie right on that.
Due to what I’ve read about Meghan’s arrogance and haughtiness when it comes to the treatment of others especially people she feels do not measure up to her standards, such as domestic workers, restaurant staff, and even palace employees when she and Harry were still working royals, I am not surprised by what the author of the post has written.
None of what the woman who wrote the post sounds far-fetched for Meghan. She is a nasty piece of work and her extreme narcissism only enhances her negative behavior, lofty attitude especially towards those she may consider to be less important people and her OTT expectations of special treatment.
I am still hoping the bullying investigation produces accurate accounts of her treatment of palace staffers who were assigned to assist her and Harry. But due to this being the Platinum Jubilee year and all the drama with the accusations regarding Andrew’s behavior, I am thinking the bullying investigation may die on the vine or the results will remain private and the bullied parties will be silenced with financial settlements and NDAs.
At any rate, once again, thank you for posting this. I am hoping you will still be able to access your source for it and can continue posting from it when possible.
It sounds believable to me.
Thanks for posting the tea! The Tyler Perry stuff rings especially true. He must have been horrified by Mrs. Dollar's racism. I wonder how the staff she treated so poorly reacted when the Oprah interview came out.
That's also an interesting bit about "stealing animation" and "poaching talent" from Disney! Can't you just picture her overhearing someone else's idea while doing something for Disney and then trying to grab all the credit for herself? What if this is the real reason Pearl is taking so long to become available?
-----
They poached talent from the Cambridges, too.
Wonder what they told woman from the Gates Foundation to get her to work for them.
Imagine going from working for Melinda Gates to working for a nobody like Mm.
Oooh BLG's take on Adele would be super. I agree 💯 she's fake with the waa waas pearl clutching. Pier's nailed it.
I've never warmed to Adele with her caterwauling, downer songs. I've thought for a long time she's overrated. Looks as if she's been Markled. 😏
Bringing his pubescent daughter around "Married With Children" . . one of the raunchiest comedies on TV, populated with salty crewmembers, probably not the most brill idea he ever had,
The first time she told her joke about wearing a Catholic school uniform on the set of Married with Children, the sexual innuendo totally flew over my head. My impression was that the cast and crew grew abashed at the sight of a child among them and held back a lot whenever she was there. That they might not have cared -- and that her presence might have made the jokes even raunchier -- only dawned on me much later. And knowing what we do now of how bad the exploitation of children was in 1980s Hollywood, we can agree that this was a terrible parenting decision on Thomas Markle's part. Even if his relationship with * protected her from being a direct target, just being in that environment must have been quite damaging to her.
You also ask, Hikari, whether that had been Thomas's only option. I'm wondering the same. Didn't * have any school friends whose parents, upon hearing of Thomas's awkward situation, would have been happy to let * hang out in their homes until he could come and get her? Wasn't there a nice neighbor who could have looked in on a latchkey child a couple of times a day? Was that really his only option?
Or do you suppose the already ambitious, fame-hungry * insisted on being taken to the set every day? And Thomas just couldn't say no to his little princess.
They poached talent from the Cambridges, too.
Even before the revelations about the Dollars started trickling out, I wondered why anyone, given a choice between the Cambridges and the Dollars, would choose the Dollars. The love bombing and future faking must have been massive!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-10447253/Meghans-Markles-BFF-Serena-Williams-join-Prince-Harry-seminar-February.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ico=taboola_feed_article&ns_mchannel=rss&ico=taboola_feed
I'd bet my bippy * wanted to be on set. Totally agree she wheedled dad and he caved. And today we have the result.
Not that I think he has deserved the appalling behavior from that mess he raised. I feel for him now in his old age, but what we pour into our children comes out somewhere. He must be stressed to the max.
Single parents don't have it easy.
After school programs (and I'm certain the school offered something but they probably have cut off times even for families who work in the industry which can require quite late hours.
Local Y's may offer a program as well.
But all of this probably runs into age limits before you even get into the money it costs to have your kid participate.
I agree that a service would have been too much for Thomas's budget -- and remains so for many single parents' budgets. While I've suggested alternatives here, I wouldn't blame him or another parent if those options had genuinely not been available. The most charitable way to see this, which I'm open to, is that he was truly in a bind and there was no other solution. And perhaps the situation was, to his relief, more short-lived than *'s retelling would have us believe.
To me, it's more revealing of *'s character than of Thomas's parenting. Both @LavenderLady and I believe that * wheedled her way onto the set. What would have been uncomfortable for other girls her age was exciting and funny to her.
Plus, let's remember the context in which she brought up the memory. She was half dressed and blatantly flirting with Craig Ferguson. When she brought up the image of a Catholic school girl, uniform and all, on the set of one of the raunchiest sitcoms ever produced, she was dropping innuendos about herself. And if her idea of men's sexuality was honed on the Married with Children set, well, she must have genuinely believed that that anecdote turned him (and other men in the audience) on. Indeed, that might still be her view of all men, which explains her doe-eyed-ingenue approach to Prince Charles and her furious bafflement that Prince William would prefer Catherine to her.

Summary:
She contacted the organisers of the US Open wanting to 'promote' the tournament, give a speech at the tournament, and narrate a documentary about the tournament. (They said no thanks, and were rolling on the floor laughing.) And that time very shortly after the birth when she flew to New York to watch Serena lose ... acted like a complete diva with staff.
First, she came out wearing tiny scraps of clothing. (Sexy outfit: Check.) Then she bragged about her double major (ahem) and her work (ahem) at the US Embassy in Argentina. (Seem whip-smart: Check.) Finally, she said she wore a Catholic school girl uniform on the Married with Children set and laughed about the inappropriateness of it all. (Indicate you're okay with certain proclivities: Check.)
I wouldn't be surprised if she tried this exact thing with Prince Charles. Our big clue, as @Sandie pointed out on the last page, is that line she always has to drop when she plants a story about them: They "bonded over their shared knowledge of history and culture." @WBBM is also right that it's a really odd wording. People usually have "an interest in" or "a love of" history and culture. To emphasize that * had knowledge that kept up with Prince Charles's is pure Dollar propaganda. But it's also probably exactly how she presented herself when she made her move. The sexy (ahem), "whip-smart" daughter-in-law who wouldn't mind if her father-in-law had some ideas. Maybe her "knowledge of history and culture" was mostly stories of the most notorious mistresses and courtesans of Europe.
More tea! Thank you!
I don't even know where to begin with her offer to be a "patron" for the US Open. It's as if her envy of Catherine at Wimbledon was so great that she projected it onto the entire US Open. I really don't think anyone behind the US Open (or any of the other major international tournaments) feels inadequate at the knowledge that they don't have what Wimbledon has. But of course * imagines that they do! She is so transparent that it's embarrassing.
I despise the gruesome duo but one has to be careful how one writes about them and other bloggers.
Cardi B had to prove libel. She was able to do so.
The person Cardi B sued had a dedicated YouTube channel, which was monetized.
There is no point in suing someone if they have no income you can grab. A cease and desist warning from a lawyer should suffice if all you really want is the person to stop.
Note that the people targeted by Bouzy whatever his name is are all YouTubers and the claim is that they are making millions from criticising her. There are plenty criticising her on blogs and social media sites that are not monetized, but they have not been threatened by her proxy in that suspect report he got done.
She sues strategically, but mostly just sends legal warnings that the media ignore and that's the end of it.
However, always prudent to sprinkle posts with terms such as 'allegedly', 'supposedly', 'in my opinion', 'I think'. Free speech is under attack from the facist woke crowd, but the tide will turn, and we will look back at this time in the same way we looked back at the McCarthy era.

wow! not the first time the Guardian journalists have shown a lack of ethics.
A Guardian journalist in 2014, I believe, reported seeing Russian tanks entering Ukraine through "a hole in the border fence" but had no corroborating witnesses or even a picture from his Iphone. The Guardian decided to print the story despite this lack of journalistic standards and the fact that it could cause a major war.
I forget the name of the journalist - Jonathan something. With all that is going on in Ukraine now, it's hard to sort through all the stories in a search.
I remember being ordered not to discuss the virus or vaccination programme with a sister and her husband as they are anti-vaxxers and they are ridiculous and won't do what they are told. I had been vaccinated. I did bring up the topic, had a very interesting and open coversation without any animosity at all, and got into huge trouble (really bad) for 'defying instructions'. I am not repentant, and would never silence my sister, nor force her or ven try to oersuade her to do what I tell her to do (which I never would).
I look forward to the end of all this fascist madness, plus the shallowness and greed and hypocrisy of people famous for being famous and earning vast sums of money for just that.
who ordered you not to discuss vaccinations with your sister?
A vast majority of people in society are people who don't want to rock the boat and are willing to go along with the abuses - minor and major - of their spouses, co-workers, bosses, government, friends, etc in order not to cause any conflict, large or small.
These are the same people who will not take a chance in changing or trying something new, even if it might save their lives.
They don't mind ridiculing, belittling and ostracizing people who don't believe the "not rocking the boat" mindset.
With her narcissism and history as a precocious child is it a no wonder she uses the succubus/siren act when it suits her?
I went to a private school where one had to wear a uniform. The kids can change out of their uniforms in school once the classes are over. I, for one, didn't want to be seen around town in my school girl uniform
-----
I think so. You gotta give the girl credit, she's a master at it.
I think it works so well for her because she honestly believes what she's saying, so at that exact moment in time she comes across as sincere and authentic.
The execs she tried it on at first
1) wanted to believe it
2) had no reason to believe that a royal would lie that massively (but it's out there now, so no excuse not to know now)
3) are often older white men, swayed by the innocent doe-eyed ingenue, Diana 2.0, all too flirty young mother, who thinks they're so big and strong and uh...masculine.
------
No normal kid does. I don't believe that story at all. Not one bit.
She was implying Lolita big-time. Cute little me, in my school girl uniform. Wink, wink. Watcha thinkin' big guy?
Her early photo shoots, even though she was of age, were implying very, very young teenage girl. Quite disturbing.
I am still reeling from the idea that she would call in decorators for a home in which she was a guest. To be redecorated at the host's expense, no doubt. Wow, talk about arrogant and entitled.

Anonymous asked:
"She has been faking for a long time. I don't think she knows who she really is anymore."
An anon from another blog once theorized that everything Meghan is is performative. She views things as roles and she acts and dresses accordingly: the shy fiancee, the innocent bride, the magnanimous patron, the glamorous actress, the doting daughter, the loving wife, the hands-on mother, etc. She has everything scripted in her head, and she doesn't do well when people act outside of the script or when circumstances don't turn out how she'd imagined them. She comes across as fake because she's acting a part and she isn't a very good actress. And she's never consistent because these scripts in her head don't add up to a movie or play -- they're just unconnected scenarios.
-----
Anyone want to take a guess as to the true character/personality beneath all the acting? The few videos of her from childhood/early adulthood show:
* Wanting to be centre of attention and boss everyone around.
* Petulant and sulky.
* Materialistic (brand names, bespoke number plate ...).
* Loved posing for photos.
Anything else?
-----
It seems like she never knows what to do with her hands. For some reason, her hand placement seems to cause her discomfort. Maybe nervous energy?
You can see her do that when with H, all the time.
I often wondered if the hand on his back thing wasn't about reassuring him as much as it was to give her something to do with her hands.
The same with all that stupid hand holding. It wasn't about being romantic. It was about her needing something to do with her hands.
She went to live with her mother again between finishing school and starting college after a fallout with her father (he refused to withdraw from a school play when she had an issue with someone involved in the play - didn't get the part she wanted or something like that, but that might have been another time).
She views things as roles and she acts and dresses accordingly: the shy fiancee, the innocent bride, the magnanimous patron, the glamorous actress, the doting daughter, the loving wife, the hands-on mother, etc.
Compound that with her narcissism and it becomes obvious that she plays roles because she has no base identity to fall back on. Every year or so, we think that we're finally seeing the real * . . . but we never are. To borrow a phrase from Gertrude Stein: "There's no there there."
it also explains her lack of follow through on her projects. She thinks that people succeed in life by simply showing up, playing a part and that's it. She doesn't realize that there's work going on behind the scenes. Too stupid for that.
If people are interested in money, then they don't necessarily sue someone who does not have anything of value to collect from. However, some sue people because of the principle of the thing (e.g., Eric Clapton who sued a little old lady in Germany over a cheap bootleg CD). Then maybe it is not money the plaintiff wants but some action to be taken (ex. stopping damaging lies).
A celebrity has an additional burden to overcome because they are a public figure. However, a private citizen, such as a defamed person (i.e., a Nutty blogger) subjected to hurtful defamatory statements on a blog would have an easier time of proving their case if they suffered pain and suffering (eg. suicidal thoughts from the bullying/perhaps lost wages from missing work due to anxiety).
Yes, one can use 'allegedly' and one's 'opinion', but it still pays to be careful because one doesn't know what your victim will do in response, and it is easy to sue without an attorney in the US. Who wants to defend themselves in a lawsuit anyway...most people don't?
Yes @GWAH, the woke crowd is seemingly thin skinned but then IMO, I think just common sense?decency should be the order of the day when it comes to refraining from wholly unsubstantiated defamatory statements (like alleging one is a current drug addict).
Why Harry And Meghan's Netflix Deal Is BUSTED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD1EmkFTlYs
Catherine has replaced Harry as the patron of English rugby!
Bet the lads will be pleased. 😉
Thanks! It's good to know that Mr. Rosas was just taking a break yesterday.
I enjoyed his explanation of what an executive producer on a film or series actually does (or is supposed to do). Maybe Netflix realized going in that Harry and * would be bringing nothing but their names (or to be more accurate, a name and an asterisk), and Netflix was prepared to do the heavy lifting in exchange for the publicity. If the Dollars were normal people, this would have been a fair exchange.
But as Mr. Rosas so lucidly informs us, it's the day-to-day dealings with a narcissist that can make one really sorry that one made that deal. I'm sure he has very detailed tea that he's not spilling, for legal reasons. In the meantime, anyone who is working with a narc or has worked with one in the past can get some emotional closure.
Just a thought...
Yes, you could be right. I also fear there is a darker intention: to unleash the Squad on these poor people to shut them up.
It is ironical that they claim to believe in freedom of speech but only on their own terms. They want to shut up all negative things being said about them.
I wish the press would pick up on these things esp when it involves their own royal reporters, Camilla Tominey being one who was also bullied and threatened by the same Squad.
About the US Open, I think it is more than what you mentioned. I think she wants to one-up Serena Williams who was once her "friend". She was just to show that she is better than anyone else.

That rings true! If she had been able to make that speech and become a "patron" (???), she would have one-upped both Catherine and Serena.
With the way * subsequently behaved, and with Serena's mother clearly having *'s number, one would think Serena and Alexis would know to stay far away from the Dollars. It was disappointing to learn that Serena will be supporting Harry at an upcoming virtual summit. Oh, well. *shrug*
Well worth a watch!

Very critical! (and this is from a lawyer) 😄
Thanks for the Megfix ad 😂. A bit of a tall order, I'd say. You could have added someone who's an early riser (for those 5am emails) and doesn't mind being bullied 😬
Magatha, you are really something else. A word smith extraordinaire.
Thanks so much for sharing a link to the Lost Beyond Pluto channel. She is very impressive ... very direct, clear, informative.
Th dastardly duo have gone after royal reporters (usually through a proxy like the SussexSquad) and sent numerous lawyer letters to media outlets. Now they are going after social media accounts using Bouzy as a proxy.
It is all very messy!
However, although Serena is one of the greats as a tennis player, she is probably not bright and has to use endless PR to bring in the bucks. Subconsciously she may think TBW is ever so smart and thus feel inferior/intimidated. I suspect that TBW is still using a lot of love bombing with Serena and her husband as they are famous and very wealthy and they are an interracial couple.
My impression is that the couples are not close but they are still great cheerleaders of each other.
Supposedly there is a connection between Alexis and the CEO of ButterUp and that is how the hapless prince got involved. It is all rich friends helping rich friends.
Wow, that share re: Lost Beyond Pluto was timely and very helpful. Thanks! 👍
___
IMO it sounds as if the Harks are sitting at home scrolling through endless Twitter posts and YT content looking for insults that could generate them some bank.
Actually, it would be more lucrative for them to ask for a percentage of the YT proceeds in lieu of suing. Of course they'd have to issue the warning letter first then "settle" for the percentage. Lol.
Just silly speculation but I wouldn't be shocked at all that they'd be desparate enough for proceeds to do something like that...🤑
au contraire, Serena is more intelligent than average. She and her sister Venus speak French fluently, if with an accent, but much better than * could ever hope to. I heard them speak once, and was very impressed. Not just the touristy phrases but a real conversation.
They are also savvy businesswomen who are involved in the design and distribution of their products.
They are both very wealthy and seem to know how to manage their money.
Doesn't Serena and her husband share a PR company with the Merdes? That would be the connection. All business, nothing personal. Serena had Mrs. Merde's number long ago. Serena and Alexis are classy enough to not publicly trash anyone; whereas, Mr. & Mrs. Merde are willing to trash anyone, and sue anyone.
It sounds as if Serena is what * wishes she could be!
A rich husband (who doesn't need the Bank of Dad): Check.
An interracial marriage as a power couple: Check.
Actual foreign language skills: Check.
An impressive A-list career: Check.
Successful business ventures: Check.
A child whose existence nobody disputes: Check.
Having/making lots of money is not a measure of intelligence.
Speaking more than one language fluently is not a measure of intelligence. (But then I am from a multilingual country where everyone is proficient from childhood in two languages, and most in at least three.)
Alexis has been a cheerleader for TBW often on social media. He is obviously a huge fan of hers. And, strangely enough for someone who made their money from social media, he completely supports the poor bullied victim stance of TBW. Admittedly I find that strange as both Alexis and Serena are into family and working very hard for years for your achievements, and achieving excellence. I don't think I have heard either of them spout meaningless, pompous, hypocritical word salad either. Serena and Alexis do not need the Harkles, but behind the scenes they are huge supporters and enablers, and Alexis openly supports TBW on social media. I find it strange.
An excerpt from the latest Daily Mail Plus show.
yes, you're right. Serena has a lot of the accomplishments that * claims to have and would wish to have.
However, she wouldn't be satisfied with that and has to grab anything anyone else could have on her - Nobel Prize, presidency of the USA, Supreme Court Justice, Monarch of the United Kingdom, patron of Wimbledon, wife of the future monarch of the UK, etc and so on
I beg to differ about being able to speak another language.
In Serena's case, neither of her parents is of French heritage. And, many people study a language in high school and even uni and don't speak fluently.
And, French is a particularly difficult language to learn.
I think it's the opposite wrt support - publicly, Serena supports * because of their black heritage.
Privately, I think Serena hates her and shows it.
so they gruesome twosome has been quiet. Are they gonna do something on Groundhog day = Archie sees his shadow so we have six more weeks of pr silence? or are they waiting for February 6 to pull some crap

A few paragraphs:
...
Now, I hear that Prince Harry and Meghan want some of the screen pair's stardust to rub off on themselves.
I can reveal that the royal couple contacted Holland and Zendaya out of the blue and asked to meet.
'Tom and Zendaya were rather bemused, from what I hear,' one of Harry's old friends tells me.
'Tom had never met Harry or spoken to him in his life, so didn't know what they wanted.'
Nevertheless, the actors agreed to meet the Sussexes, who live in Montecito, California. 'The meeting took place,' claims the source.
Managing to conduct the get-together amid complete secrecy was a major achievement for the two couples.
...
Not sure what they're trying to achieve. Maybe they think that they'll achieve success by osmosis, or they want to find ideas for their Netflix projects. You have to laugh. I love that 'Tom and Zendaya were rather bemused' 😂. I bet!

The female host also said a friend of hers who is a Soho Member told her that Meghan had an agenda from day one to land Harry and she told her contacts there to inform her anytime he came around so she can "casually" walk in and meet him. The hosts also said their sources told them that Meghan has been fixated on Diana. It starts from 32 min and ends around 45 min.

The slow slide to pop culture oblivion.
MARCH 24, 2021 BLIND GOSSIP
This couple has been sniffing around for months now for ways to score big paydays that can be publicly presented under the thinnest veneer of compassion.
They don’t always get what they want, though!
Interestingly, we just found out the latest gig that the husband scored was not their first choice!
We don’t know exactly how many companies they approached, but here is some insight about one of the approaches.
This all went down about three or four months ago.
It seems like they were initially pitching as a couple, but the company was not interested in her at all, only him, so she dropped out of the picture.
Ouch.
It was also unclear what he wanted. At first they didn’t know if he was looking for a job, a green card, or an entree into the tech industry. They already have celebrity spokespeople, so that was another option.
This particular company is in the healthcare/tech industry and already has a couple of well-known celebrities as spokespeople.
Our celebrity was looking for something else.
It turns out he was just looking for a huge payday. The pitch was that they could use his name and title to help the founders raise money. He is really interested in tech and he wanted some sort of C-level position or a seat on the board, but mostly he wanted equity. His team was throwing around all sorts of crazy numbers, like 10%.
So our celebrity wants to become a tech mogul.
He wants to be Elon Musk!
For those of you who are not in the business world, “C-level” means a an executive with a “C” in front of their title, e.g. CEO (Chief Executive Officer), COO (Chief Operating Officer), or CFO (Chief Financial Officer).
Did the company consider him qualified for a C-level position or a board of directors seat?
Are you kidding? He absolutely does not have the education, experience, or qualifications to do any kind of C-level work. He’s not even qualified for an entry-level job.
He is a celebrity. That’s all. The ONLY reason they even talked to him was because he has a famous name and title.
So celebrity spokesperson? Maybe. C-level exec? No.
I heard that in the meetings it was clear that he knows nothing about business and that he was just using all sorts of buzzwords that didn’t really fit together.
So our celebrity would be Elon Musk without the education.
Or the experience.
Or the entrepreneurial vision.
Or the business savvy.
Or the work ethic.
Did that company make an offer?
No, because the whole thing was completely ridiculous.
Besides the inability to contribute anything but his name and title, the demand for equity was outrageous. I think his team realized that they were being unrealistic, so at the end they were just grasping at straws. The numbers they were throwing out were all over the place, starting at 10% and then going to 1 or 2%.
This is a late stage company about to go public. The founders spent years building the company and were ready to announce an IPO. The valuation may wind up at $2B.
It’s insane for this celebrity to think that he could walk in one minute before the IPO and claim $200 million for providing no value and doing nothing.
"Insane” is an interesting choice of words to describe his behavior of late.
Our celebrity got rejected and moved on.
Fortunately for him, he eventually did find another company to hire him!
While we do not know his exact compensation package, if the company goes public, that information will become public.
[That company is] pre-IPO and are still aiming for more growth before any kind of exit, so they were willing to take a flyer on him and give him some nonsensical title and an average salary. Since his main goal was equity, he certainly received equity, but they would be crazy to give him even 1%.
“Crazy” is another interesting choice of words.
Then again, if our celebrity did score even 1% of a multi-billion-dollar company before the IPO, perhaps he’s not so crazy after all!

wow, you again have given us some fabulous tea! Thank you
Question: Why on earth would the dastardly duo be chasing Zendaya and Tom Holland?
The Body Language Guy has just posted a HILARIOUS answer to your question, Sandie!
https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxBZQKNvjbb3cDoCf3fiFFhfqeaVuGxEn0
I think it's the opposite wrt support - publicly, Serena supports * because of their black heritage.
As for Zendaya, she makes me think of what GWAH said about Serena Williams. Is it possible that black celebrities, no matter what they actually think of *, feel pressured to support her because she presents as one of them? If so, it's sad to think that the race card can be played this way, too. Especially since * got plastic surgery to alter her features, let her classmates think she was Italian, and wrote "Caucasian" on her cv.
Zendaya is also biracial (white mother, black father); so if this is the case, she may feel even greater pressure to back someone who may seem very much like her. (Can you imagine the love bombing that * must be doing right now?)
i still like my theory that a mole leaked the holland zendaya rumor to Richard Eden (who has been under direct attack from the sugars) so it looks like the duo can’t be trusted (since they will be accused of the leak) a way to remind the duo someone else is one step ahead of them and know what they are up to including things we don’t hear about
Zendaya, at this time, is enjoying the Hollywood status as an IT girl. She ticks all the boxes. My bet is she will give TBW the Michelle Obama effect if she wants to continue to climb.
From what we have read upthread ie: tea from the industry, The Douche is despised and I can bet also that Zendaya's agent will steer her away from getting Markled.
Karma truly is a Bit{h.
@Sandie: Thanks for reposting. It seems that Mr. Dummy's intelligence and self awareness is so non-existent that he doesn't even realize how he comes across when he's pitching the value of his name to companies. Cringey. Delusional.
The link for the Body Language Guy doesn't work (I tried twice). Could you check and send it again? Many thanks.

It looks as if @Enbre's link BLG is not an analysis but a meme.
It's on his Community page of his channel. He says in the comments he made the meme himself.
It's a photoshopped image rather than a video analysis. It might be on YouTube, but it's more like a social media update post.
Did @OCGal's link work better for you?
Thank you for the link, it works 😊

That is a very funny meme.
How gracious of you.
@Enbre
Thank you for posting the link to the meme!
@Magatha
I hope you are going to publish a volume of your glorious poetry!
From the DM
* has sought to relaunch her old blog "The Tig."
Yes, a big thanks to @Enbre for sharing BLG's meme. It's a good one!

Looks as if Tignanello may be about to get Markled. Ooof.
The Duchess of Cornwall is to become royal patron of the National Theatre, a role previously held by the Duchess of Sussex.
The Queen will give Camilla, 74, the prestigious role in the coming months, after stripping Meghan of the patronage last year when the Sussexes confirmed they would not return to royal life. Meghan was gifted the role in 2019 by the Queen.
A source close to Camilla said the duchess was “pretty miffed” to have lost out on the patronage in 2019: “She really wanted it. She was pretty miffed when it went to Meghan, and will be all the more delighted to take it on now, after being disappointed not to get it first time round.”
I can imagine her being disappointed that she didn't get it in 2019, but the word choice of "miffed" and the rest of the quote makes her look very petty and entitled. Especially since many people's reaction back then was surprise that it hadn't gone to Prince Edward. Would Camilla also have been "miffed," had the patronage been given to the one of the Queen's children who has shown the most passion for theater? On the other hand, we already know someone else whose past behavior has shown her to be very petty and entitled, and who might have been more than "miffed," had she lost out on this patronage in 2019.
Thank you for posting a link that worked for others when mine didn't!
I'm happy that those who got to see the meme liked it. I love the Body Language Guy's humor and am glad that others here appreciate it, too.
Now off to watch Mr. Rosas's latest video . . .
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10456649/Brene-Brown-says-wont-releasing-podcasts.html
There is also talk of Foo Fighters joining up.
Zendaya - I was thinking about the compare the two for the similarities but ... what if you contrasted them? Maybe Zendaya is everything that she is not? Maybe that is what plays into the we like her factor.
The Duchess of Tw*t was gifted prestigious patronages practically out of the gate. I don’t recall if other newlyweds to the Firm were given important organizations with no track record of service but * sure was. In the scant 18 months * was a “working Royal”, she visited the National Theatre…3 times? The last time was when she turned up on the “Screw U” announcement tour without her rings and was turned back at the door when theater management declined an ambush visit from their ersatz patroness. Since she looked like a complete ninny in her “shrobe” and had to skulk backstory her car having had the door firmly shut in her face, I was delighted.
Her second visit was the vanity photo shoot in the deserted lobby during an important speech for Camilla. And of course the debut photo walk to and from the car with Magic Bump. That’s it. She never once attended a performance, Met any of the performers or engaged in any meaningful way with the National. She did however inspire thousands of ticket holders to cancel their subscriptions. In all, not HM’s most solid hiring decision. But since a former actress might have been expected to actually care about being made patron of such a prestigious bastion of the arts, HM certainly can be seen to Have Tried One’s Best.
What Smegs might have achieved with the National if she’d only cared just a bit. Madam knew she was outclassed at the National by evenctgw student actors and her profound envy meant she could not condescend to darken the doors. Especially since she was either “heavily pregnant” or living in North America for the entirety of her appointment. Her ego meant she had to be too busy and important to ever show up there.
The National Theater was really overkill, in a way. It seems to be forgotten in most post-Megxit discussions of whether or not * was truly welcomed by the BRF, but it's striking evidence that they respected her and wanted her to be a real member of the team.
I'd love some National Theater tea about those few visits she oh-so-condescendingly deigned to make.
Her second visit was the vanity photo shoot in the deserted lobby during an important speech for Camilla.
I remembered Camilla's speech and *'s mulish hogging of the spotlight despite being asked not to, but I had totally forgotten what * had done for attention that day. Now that you've reminded me, I find it extra sweet that Camilla gets to inherit the prestigious patronage that was once used to insult her.
And now I'd like a news story of subscriptions going back up!
Kate Middleton news: Royal beats Meghan Markle hands down in US popularity poll
Kate was twice as popular as Meghan!
Kate took 68.2% of the vote whereas * took 31% according to Entertainment Daily (info taken from the Sun, I think). I hope * sees it and seethes.
I'm also surprised it didn't go to Prince Edward for the second time in a row, but I'm sure the National Theater is just happy that it's ANYONE but *.
Is it possible that PE doesn't want that patronage?
Or that he didn't get it to spare him the press ravaging him about earlier things?
Zendaya is what Mm sees when she looks in the mirror. Haha.
Zendaya is what Mm sees when she looks in the mirror. Haha.
Haha soooo true! Thanks for my laugh for the day. :)
Yes, 31% is extremely high, even though the opinion poll was in the US. * might be marginally more popular than in the UK but I'm sure the real % is much lower. Still, there will be fury unleashed in Montecito. Pity the neighbours.
Perhaps PE is being kept in reserve owing to his impending promotion to Duke of Edinburgh in due course, with the DoE awards scheme and other things. Charles will be obliged to lean even heavier on his youngest brother with Tweedle Dee (Andrew) and Dum Dum (H) out of commission. Or perhaps HM is withholding the plum prize from Ed because she is still not amused about Ed’s role in the Royal Knockout debacle. I think Ed has made amends since then.
If the future of the Dumbarton’s associations with Spotify and Netflix, Meghan may be getting her ducks in a row to crank up The Tig for income.
Spotify and/or Netflix may let them save face and “gracefully” exit their contract(s) without taking them to court and just end things. This would allow Harry and Meghan to use the commonly heard excuse when someone quits in the face of being fired when they say, I’m leaving to pursue other business opportunities and spend more time with my family.”
This could easily explain the recent report of Harry getting very chatty with The First National Bank of Dad, also known as Prince Charles. If they know their deals Spotify and Netflix are going to crash on the rocks, they will likely need a major cash infusion from Charles to maintain appearances.
The amount necessary to keep the Dumbarton boat afloat has to be massive, and that’s just for basic overhead. It does not take into account ordering expensive wines by the case as was reported when they were camped out in Canada, or Meghan’s hunger for clothes, jewelry and other assorted goodies.
I highly doubt they would ever cut back and shop at WalMart or Target.
New Post People
Gentle reminder please to remember to be kind, walk away from a post you feel is argumentative or a slam at you. Thank you.
Fortunately more people over time have realized the Sussexes are just not all that, and even less! Nutty was there from the start!
Sometimes I long for the days when it was just pictures of the queen and a few biographies, before royal was conflated with celebrity. Diana changed all that, I'm not sure for the better.
Someone said they hope Harry's duchess doesn't do more plastic surgery--I second that. Looking at the outside, she looks kind of pretty for 40 unless she is doing The Stare. I wish she would just age gracefully. Of course, on the inside....s\he can never get enough. Maybe have a couple of ribs removed to define a waistline? I don't know if that is actually doable, though you used to hear a rumor that Jayne Mansfield did that.
Nice to see the blog abides. Have a good February!
