Pippa Middleton Is Newly Single But Isn't Ready To Mingle With Prince Harry
LatestEveryone’s favorite hot younger sister Pippa Middleton is back on the market! She has broken up with her longtime boyfriend Alex Loudon and, though they’ve split before, now it’s apparently for realsies. It seems there’s been trouble in royal sibling paradise for a while. Several months ago Alex and Pippa got in a fight in front of the other guests during a friend’s wedding and caused quite a stir. A very intriguing rumor also had it that Alex was jealous because Pippa flirted with Prince Harry. Ooh, Pippa!
Sadly, according to a source, “The truth is, she and Harry are just [friends].” Okay, but are we, like, 110% sure about that? Or could they be secretly in love but are just too afraid to admit it, even to themselves? Oh, please pleeease let them become more than friends! If those two got together it would create a Royal-Celebrity-Tabloid-Wedding shitstorm of such epic proportions that it might be enough to drown us all in a wave of our own shrieks and tears. [Radar]

What a horrible thing to do! Luckily justice has been served: He’s plead guilty and could serve up to seven years in prison for the crime. [New York Post]

- Well, you have to start somewhere. [The Sun]

- He may star in Game of Thrones, but Peter Dinklage says he isn’t normally a big fan of fantasy because the genre has a habit of portraying dwarves in a one-dimensional way:
- [I]t is a bit narrow-minded sometimes, where if they have a dwarf character, the shoes have to curl up at the end, he has this inherent wisdom, he isn’t sexual, all of that. You look at something like Snow White, and each of the dwarves is just one thing—this one sneezes, this one is angry, this one is tired. And that’s sometimes still true for modern-day stories. But it’s not just for dwarves, that could be the case for anybody, for women, for people of color.
