A trio of royal commentators are united in their beliefs that Kate Middleton appears to be “taking the fall” for a “cataclysmic error” within the royal family. Their commentary is in regards to a photo the House of Windsor released of Kate with her three children two months after her surgery. The Associated Press, Afp, and Reuters subsequently issued kill notifications for the image because it was edited.
However, is the palace using the Princess of Wales to take the heat regarding the error in judgment? Kate quickly issued an apology, but was the scandal her fault?
Kate Middleton is at the center of an edited photo controversy, but is she to blame?
Piers Morgan shared his thoughts regarding Kate Middleton’s photo editing controversy in an episode of his series, Piers Morgan Uncensored. Morgan was joined by Outkick host Tyrus, comedian James Barr, and family lawyer Paula Rhone-Adrien to discuss several topics,...

Professional wrestler, Ronda Rousey, has starred in quite a few gripping Hollywood projects, including Fast & Furious 7 as Kara. Before becoming who she is today, Ronda Rousey was the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in Judo at the Summer Olympics (2008). Ten years later, the wrestler began her journey in professional wrestling and has since won many feats going forward. Ronda Rousey’s name cannot be mentioned without bringing up her longtime close friend and wrestler, Shayna Baszler.

Together, the two of them have been one of WWE’s top female duos as they were practically undefeatable when they worked together. That was until Shayna Baszler turned on Ronda Rousey at Money in the Bank. Thus began a feud between the two friends which eventually led to them fighting each other at the SummerSlam (2023).

The story of World Championship Wrestling is one of an amazing rise but then a tragic fall that was hard to watch. While the American wrestling promotion spent much of its early days as second best, WCW figured itself out at a time when the World Wrestling Federation was destroying itself in the ’90s. WCW rose up and became what seemed like an unstoppable force before tripping on its own success while WWF recovered from its mistakes and regained traction. Having lost all that momentum, WCW did itself no favors by spending the next several years making every single bad decision possible. They absolutely could not get a win if they tried.
Now the dead promotion is considered a cautionary tale and a pile-on for jokes about the Shockmaster, David Arquette, the Fingerpoke of Doom, Hulk Hogan being humped by a giant mummy, the fumbling of Steve Austin, Judy Bagwell on a forklift,...

Greg Gutfeld got two stinging personal insults for the price of one joke, taking swipes at former “The Five” co-host and rumored Fox nemesis Geraldo Rivera and the striking Hollywood writers in the same breath of his “Gutfeld!” monologue.
Monday night’s show opened with a culture-wars wag at Cinnabon, where employees at a Los Angeles store are reportedly striking for the right to wear pride pins and other LGBTQ messaging at work. Gutfeld used the strike theme to get his digs into an aside:
“Did you think I was talking about the writers’ strike?” he said. “Do you people even care?”
A soft jeer indicated that the Fox News studio audience does not, in fact, care about Hollywood writers and actors seeking new compensation structures with studios in a historic and painful double work stoppage. And with the audience on his side, Gutfeld began firing shots:

Greg Gutfeld and the guests of his namesake Fox News late night show took to the woodshed an opinion piece published Sunday in USA Today, spending the entire 13-minute “Gutfeld!” opening segment Tuesday night shredding sports writer Nancy Armour’s 800-word column about transgender athletes.
Armour’s piece called the views of ESPN reporter and “Sunday NFL Countdown” host Sam Ponder on transgender women and girls in sports “bigotry.” Ponder had recently publicly sided with Riley Gaines, the former college swimmer leading a campaign against transgender women and girls’ participation in sports at all levels.
Gutfeld himself kicked off the kicking, calling Armour “ghastly,” “godawful,” “riding in on her broomstick” and a “hack,” and suggested that USA Today is “the official doormat for Americans staying at low-priced hotels.”
Then things got mean.

Not all the late-night shows have gone dark, it seems.
Gutfeld! will remain on Fox News, airing a new episode Tuesday evening. This comes after the WGA called for a writers strike following breakdown in talks with the studios.
All of the other late-night shows including The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Daily Show have halted production.
While Gutfeld!, hosted by Greg Gutfeld, has a smaller team than most of the late-night shows and Gutfeld writes his own monologue, he does have some help from the likes of Nick Dipaolo. Tom O’Connor — who has worked with Gutfeld since his Red Eye days — exec produces, Arash Mosaleh is senior producer, and the writing staff includes Joe DeVito and Joe Machi.
Deadline understands that Gutfeld and his team are not WGA members.

The Fox News host will be getting the Super Bowl treatment this Sunday, with the cable news channel set to run a 15-second spot promoting his 11 p.m. late night show Gutfeld! during the big game.
The ad will be Fox News Channel’s only spot promoting one of its linear TV shows during the game, which is airing on the Fox broadcast network. There will also be a 10-second ad during the Fox pregame show, as well as two ads touting the Fox Nation streaming service.
The broadcast networks that host the Super Bowl all run “house” ads for their own brands (be it a show, a streaming service or movie), but usually only a few internal projects make the cut, given the high-profile nature of the event.

Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 8
They called it a break, but it felt more akin to torture. Better Call Saul, amid its sixth and final season, took a month-long hiatus after “Plan and Execution,” a barnburner of an episode that ended with perhaps the most excruciating cliffhanger of the series. A break? I spent the month agonizing over the wait and wondering what could come next. While others were enjoying high temperatures, fireworks, and cookouts, I thought about Howard Hamlin lying lifeless on Jimmy’s apartment floor. I’m exaggerating, but only slightly.

It has, in other words, been a minute since we met the title character of the great prequel series Better Call Saul, and only slightly less since we met Mike Ehrmantraut, Gus Fring, and several other key figures who have appeared on both shows.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Better Call Saul” Season 6, Episode 4, “Hit and Run.”]
One of the ways that “Better Call Saul” keeps you on your toes is reminding you that there’s always another corner of Albuquerque to discover. It’s not all trips to the courthouse or rendezvouses at roadside diners or meetings in law firm boardrooms. So when “Hit and Run” opens with a glimpse at suburbia, as seen through the eyes of a pair of neighborhood folks seemingly more concerned with homeowner’s association to-dos than regional drug trafficking concerns, it’s a reminder that the net can always be cast wider.
Of course, these aren’t exactly ordinary residents counting down the days to the next cul-de-sac bake sale. They’re employees in the ever-widening Gus Fring empire, part of a house-sized security detail with one key directive: keep the Chicken Man alive. It’s the early-2000s American Southwest equivalent...

Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 3
The ballad of Nacho Varga ended not with a whimper, but with a defiant, indignant bang. Ever since Michael Mando’s Nacho graced our screens in the second episode of Better Call Saul, the character has always had a doomed quality about him that has felt more and more inevitable as time went on. Part of that feeling was due to the character’s solemnity for such a young guy, the way that he always dressed well, yet had a somewhat ghastly appearance, and how he rarely talked in a voice that registered above a whisper. There’s also Nacho’s dangerous profession and the company he kept. But mostly, it came back to the same question: How could Nacho survive the events of Better Call Saul if he never appeared or got more than a passing mention in Breaking Bad?...

[Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Better Call Saul” Season 6, Episode 2, “Carrot and Stick.”]
One of Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) greatest strengths is pinpointing people’s relationship to money. It’s a psychological pressure point that he’s used to his advantage when dealing with people who have everything to lose. As someone who fashions himself a bit of a legal vigilante, Jimmy gives himself a steady dose of self-righteousness, justifying a little ethical murkiness if it separates someone from what they didn’t rightfully earn.

One of Jimmy McGill’s (Bob Odenkirk) greatest strengths is pinpointing people’s relationship to money. It’s a psychological pressure point that he’s used to his advantage when dealing with people who have everything to lose. As someone who fashions himself a bit of a legal vigilante, Jimmy gives himself a steady dose of self-righteousness, justifying a little ethical murkiness if it separates someone from what they didn’t rightfully earn.

[Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Better Call Saul” Season 6, Episode 1, “Wine and Roses.”]
So this is how Season 6 begins, not with a Gene but a teardown. Rather than start this final chunk of story with a flash-forward to Jimmy under yet another new identity, remembering instances of regret in his life and pain he has caused others, “Wine and Roses” starts with a headfake. A monochrome cascade of ties (set to the instrumental that helps lend its name to the episode) gives way to a lavish, full-color tour of the erstwhile Chez Goodman, as a full crew works to wipe an ostentatious palace of everything but the wallpaper.
Like each of its season-starting cold opens, it’s a sad reminder of the fate that Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) is doomed to face. The tragedy of those Cinnabon scenes isn’t in where he is, it’s what he’s left behind. While this opening sequence...

Better Call Saul is finally coming back after a long layoff — but Nacho is still feeling the heat.
TVLine has an exclusive sneak peek at Monday’s Season 6 premiere (AMC, 9/8c), with Mike and Tyrus meeting up with Gus Fring for a debrief on the attempt to assassinate Lalo Salamanca. They don’t know that Lalo is still alive, but Gus is a little suspicious that every mercenary they sent in to kill Lalo ended up dead. “It has been known to happen,” Mike observes with his usual deadpan flair.

Ever since Better Call Saul premiered on AMC in 2015, fans of the Breaking Bad spinoff have been clamoring for a cameo appearance from the original show’s two main characters, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). The actors themselves have been asked about it seemingly the entire duration of the prequel series’ run. Both Cranston and Paul have been game to join the cast for a short appearance, but the years just keep going by without any tangible proof that anything will come to fruition.
Anticipation for their arrival has continued to boil over as other characters from Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s universe have shown up on screen. DEA agent Hank Schrader had a multi-episode storyline in the fifth season of Better Call Saul and was an integral part to the middle of the season’s plot.

Fox News and Britt McHenry, a former on-air personality who joined the cable-news outlet after a stint at ESPN, have parted ways after reaching a settlement in a long-running harassment lawsuit, according to the network
“While Fox News is confident it would have prevailed in the lawsuit, we are pleased that we have been able to resolve this matter without further litigation,” the network said in a statement.
McHenry filed suit against Fox News in late 2019, alleging she had been denied opportunities at the company after reporting claims she was sexually harassed by her former co-host, George Murdoch, who is also known as Tyrus. He continues to work for Fox News.
McHenry’s suit, filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, had asked for a jury trial as well as more than $75,000 in damages.
At issue were claims by McHenry that Murdoch sent her harassing texts.

Britt McHenry is departing Fox News after reaching a settlement with the network over her sexual harassment claim against the network and fellow contributor Tyrus.
McHenry filed the lawsuit in December, 2019, claiming that Tyrus, whose real name is George Murdoch, engaged in inappropriate behavior that included sexually charged text messages.
The parties filed a stipulation for voluntary dismissal of the case on Monday in federal court.
McHenry said in a statement, “I am very proud to have to stood up for my rights and hope that I have empowered other women to do the same. Although I fully stand by the truth of my allegations, I am pleased to put this matter behind me and move forward with my career.”
A Fox News spokesperson confirmed McHenry’s departure.

Welcome to this week’s Nwa: Power review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I’m back to reviewing the National Wrestling Alliance every week. It is nice to be back at the original wrestling league/body and its World Title, which is the only championship that actually means anything. I’m going to be honest with you here. I don’t give a s—t about the other wrestling leagues. I care about the wrestlers and the matches, but promotions don’t matter to me. The only exception is The Nwa, since it is the original and the source of the vast majority of wrestling history. There isn’t a moment in WWE history that isn’t eclipsed in some manner by the most fleeting instance in the glory years of The Nwa. I wish Billy Corgan would start showing The Nwa the proper respect.

Anthony Fauci blasted Tucker Carlson after the Fox host, questioning the effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine, told viewers that “maybe it doesn’t work, and they’re just not telling you that.”
In an appearance on CNN on Wednesday, Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, said, “That’s just a typical crazy conspiracy theory. Why would we not tell people if it doesn’t work?” He pointed to the “overwhelming data” that the three vaccines that have been approved for emergency use, with tens of thousands of people in a clinical trial “with an overwhelming signal of efficacy. So I don’t have any idea of what he is talking about.”
Fauci is the longtime director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Britt McHenry, the Fox Nation commentator who is suing her former co-host George Murdoch (aka Tyrus) for sexual harassment, lost the phone containing text messages she says are central to her claims, according to a response filed by Fox News Media lawyers Tuesday.
Whether that’s a big deal for the case going forward depends on which legal team one asks.
McHenry’s lawyer, Lisa Bloom, told TheWrap, “Britt has already provided all of the relevant text messages, which she downloaded before she lost her phone, to the investigators and in discovery. We have also offered a forensic examination of her laptop and cloud to obtain any and all messages between her and Ms. Murdoch. She has nothing to hide.”
In the filing from earlier this week, however, Fox News’ lawyers wrote that they “do not concede in any way that the text log is complete or accurate” as a result.

Fox Nation commentator Britt McHenry’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her former co-host George Murdoch (aka Tyrus) can move forward, a federal judge ruled on Friday. But McHenry’s claims against Fox News’ parent company and two of its executives, John Finley and Monica Mekeel, have been dismissed.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled that Murdoch’s “communications [to McHenry], as pled, are readily construed to reflect sexual advances and propositions, albeit unusually crude and clumsy ones, towards her.” The judge also ruled that the text messages included in the complaint “do not affirmatively support the inference that McHenry cultivated Murdoch’s text messages to her, including those about his genitalia and sexual desires.”
Engelmayer denied Murdoch’s motion to dismiss McHenry’s claims that he retaliated against her for speaking up about his alleged behavior based on the “temporal proximity of Murdoch’s acts to the complaint...

McHenry’s suit, filed in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, asks for a jury trial as well as more than $75,000 in damages. It is the latest chapter in a long-running dispute between McHenry, a former ESPN anchor who has become known for her conservative views, and Fox News, which endured a series of harassment claims by current and former employees related to management by the network’s former boss, Roger Ailes, and has worked to change that culture in subsequent years.

Fox News Channel and Britt McHenry, a commentator on its Fox Nation, streaming-video service, continue to be at odds over the host’s claim of sexual harassment by Tyrus, another of the outlet’s personalities,
On Friday, attorney Lisa Bloom said she had been hired by McHenry “as we litigate her sexual harassment claims against Fox News.” And she asked the Fox Corporation-owned unit to “release” Henry to speak about what happened to her. Bloom recently filed a sexual harassment complaint with New York State’s Division of Human Rights.

Conservative firebrand and Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren on Thursday apologized for a comment about Sen. Kamala Harris’ personal life that she live-tweeted during Wednesday’s Democratic primary debate.
Instead of sticking to the debate like many media personalities, Lahren asked Harris a very personal question: “Kamala did you fight for ideals or did you sleep your way to the top with Willie Brown??”
After widespread criticism for stepping over the line, Lahren backtracked by saying, “I apologize for my comment on Kamala’s personal relationship. It was the wrong choice of words. There are many other things to take her to task for and I will stick to those.”

Fox News co-host Tyrus sent a series of lewd text messages to former co-host Britt McHenry, commenting on her “boobs” and threatening to send “another d— pic,” according to a HuffPost report late Thursday.
HuffPost’s Yashar Ali cited four unnamed individuals “familiar with the texts’ contents” — which resulted in a sexual harassment complaint from McHenry and his removal from the “Un-pc” show they had co-hosted on Fox News’ streaming service since its launch last fall. Tyrus, a former WWE wrestler under the name Brodus Clay, was given his own show on Fox Nation, “NuffSaid.”
In June, company reps said that McHenry’s complaints had been “independently investigated,” and that the network considered “the matter resolved.”
