According to a report from PageSix.com, Meghan Markle has Hillary Clinton’s back. Reportedly, the Hollywood actress turned British royal invited Hillary Clinton to visit her husband and child, Archie, at their home in Windsor claims a report from The Daily Mail.

Reports indicate it was actually the first time they came together. The former presidential candidate stopped by Frogmore Cottage, the royal family’s home, and greeted the Deal or No Deal alum with a hug. Moreover, Hillary reportedly said hello to baby Archie and snuggled up to him.

A source who spoke with The Daily Mail claimed that both of the women have a lot of respect for each other. “They are mutual fangirls!” the source remarked. The outlet claimed Markle has respected Clinton since she was a young girl and even once wrote a letter to her when she was 11-years-old.

As for the contents of the email, Meghan allegedly sent Clinton the message about a “sexist” advertisement on television. The advertisement was for dish soap. Around that time, Clinton was still the first lady of the United States.

So right off the bat, both Clinton and Markle had some commonalities and reportedly spoke about that decades-old email. As it was previously reported, earlier this year, Markle opened up about what it was like to be a mother in the media spotlight, and Clinton expressed gratitude for Meghan and condemned the British tabloids’ treatment of her.

During a conversation with BBC, Clinton actually said she wanted to give Meghan a big hug. Clinton went on to say that she just wanted to tell Markle to not worry about the people bullying her online, and instead, always do what she thinks is right.

As it was previously reported, Prince Harry and Meghan had their first baby in May of this year. Following the birth of baby Archie, Meghan reportedly became the target of certain tabloids that supposedly condemned her behavior in particular circumstances.

One report in question claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had set up a series of rules for their neighbors, including the prohibition of talking to them. Later, both parties denied this ever happened.

According to a report from PageSix.com, Netflix, the streaming juggernauts, recently came out to address Mo’Nique’s claim that they were discriminating against her through pay discrepancies. Mo’Nique claims she launched a discrimination lawsuit against them for not giving her the amount of money she felt she was owed.

In their statement, Netflix claimed they felt as though they were only being fair in their offer to the comedienne, adding that diversity, equity, and inclusion were very important to them. The company’s spokesperson stated they thought their opening offer to her was fair, and they’ll fight the lawsuit.

Reported first by NBC News, the outlet claims that the Precious alum accused the streaming giants of offering her merely $500,000 while some of her other co-parts received much larger checks for their comedy specials, many of which were multi-million dollars contracts.

According to NBC News, Mo’Nique, through her attorney, stated that when dealing with a non-person of color, the pay for comedy specials was significantly higher. Her attorney pointed out that many other comediennes and comedians received much higher pay for their specials, some of which received forty-times the amount.

For instance, Netflix paid Ricky Gervais, Ellen DeGeneres, Dave Chappelle, and Chris Rock, 40 times the amount of money. Furthermore, Amy Schumer was offered 26 times more than what Mo’Nique was offered.

This wouldn’t be the first time that Mo’Nique has found herself at the center of entertainment industry controversies. Reported by Newsweek back in 2015, Lee Daniels came out to say that Mo’Nique was not “blackballed” by him or any other industry execs, a claim which she had been repeating at that time.

Reportedly, the comedienne accused Tyler Perry, Lee Daniels, as well as Oprah Winfrey of interfering with her ability to secure better roles following her award-winning performance in Precious, for which she was awarded a Golden Globe as well as an Academy Award.

In an interview published by TMZ back in 2015, Lee Daniels described Mo’Nique’s behavior as “out of pocket,” and “wrong.” Lee stated that he fought very hard for Mo’Nique to get hired in Precious, and wanted her to get it.

There has been a lot of speculation as to why Nene Leakes started filming later than the other Real Housewives of Atlanta stars. However, the self-proclaimed Queen of RHOA is back this Sunday and she wants everyone to know it.

Last season was bittersweet for the Broadway star. Her husband was battling colon cancer and Nene was heavily criticized by both co-stars and viewers for making it about her.

Since then, it has been explained that cancer just doesn’t affect the patient — but also those around them.

Leakes took to Instagram with a message for critics to announce her return and throw a little shade at her castmates.

‘Now that the pre-show has ended, The REAL PREMIERE starts SUNDAY at 8pm on @bravotv…..With existing relationship issues and having people not understanding the role and toll it takes on the care giver, threw our relationship into an emotional roller coaster! We both cried, cussed, slammed doors and prayed. We’re in a marriage so what happens to him, happens to me! If you support 1, you gotta support the other! For anyone to say i was making his cancer about me, has no heart at all and clearly has no understanding about what cancer does to a family. My tears were not for me, they were for him.’

Her comment section was filled with fans who claimed that they didn’t watch the first two episodes because she wasn’t in them but they sure will be tuning in this Sunday.

The episode will surround Nene and Cynthia’s ongoing feud. The two haven’t spoken since the reunion show where they argued about Cynthia’s intentions on inviting Kenya Moore to her party without telling Nene.

The frenemies will have to unite on the Bravo float for the NYC Pride Parade.

How do you think this confrontation will go? Did you like the first two episodes of the new season?

According to a report from PageSix.com, Scott Borchetta of Big Machine Records and Scooter Braun came out to address the reports that they prohibited Ms. Swift from playing her songs at the American Music Awards, in addition to supposedly denying her the ability to feature her tracks in a Netflix documentary.

Earlier in the week, Taylor Swift claimed that Scooter Braun, who purchased the rights to her master recordings during the summertime, barred her from performing some of her most classic songs while at the AMAs.

Released to the outlet, Page Six, Big Machine Label Group, the company that owns the rights to many of the singer’s chart-topping songs, accused Taylor of spreading “false information,” and rejected the idea of them even being able to thwart her from singing her songs.

Paraphrasing Big Machine Label Group’s statement, the company claimed they were “shocked” to see what she was saying about them. Big Machine Label Group claimed they never told her she couldn’t perform her songs on the AMAs or in a Netflix special.

In fact, the statement added, Big Machine Label Group doesn’t even have the right to stop her from performing her songs. Moreover, Big Machine Label Group added that since she left the company last fall, they have respected her requests to license her catalog to other parties as she promotes her latest record, Lover.

As it was previously reported, Swift left Big Machine Records earlier this year and signed with Universal Music Group in November of 2018. The deal included the rights for her to own her master recordings from now on.

Previously, Taylor took to a Tumblr blog post to say that the idea of Scooter owning her back catalog was her worst nightmare. Furthermore, Taylor supposedly owes Scott and Braun a reported $7 million, although, her representative stated that her former label actually owes her that money.

Taylor’s rep stated that Big Machine was trying to make it about the money she owes them, but an auditor concluded that the company owes her nearly $8 million in royalties.
