King Harald V Dies at 89, Succeeded by Crown Prince Haakon

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Harald was Europe’s oldest living monarch.

At 89, the king of Norway has died.

He is succeeded by his son, Haakon, who is currently embroiled in a family scandal.

The late king had a reputation as a reformer. He actually fled Norway and lived in the United States as a child.

King Harald Haakon was 89

On Friday, August 28, King Harald died.

“It is with deep grief that we announce that His Majesty King Harald has passed away,” the Royal House of Norway announced.

The statement continued: “King Harald died peacefully at Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet Friday 28 August at 6:35 AM.”

Harald entered what would be his final hospitalization on August 17.

The aging monarch had a blood infection.

Previously, Harald had received a pacemaker.

During a vacation in Malaysia in 2024, the Norwegian monarch fell ill.

Doctors determined that he needed the device, which can restore normal sinus rhythm in patients with specific heart problems.

Later that year, he had shared publicly that he would be reducing his public appearances.

Harald was the head of state since 1991. Born in 1937, he spent much of his childhood in the United States, where FDR granted sanctuary to him, his mother, and his siblings as they fled from the Nazis during World War II.

Who is the new king of Norway?

Crown Prince Haakon Magnus will succeed his late father.

He will take on the title of King Haakon VIII.

The new king of Norway is 53. Though this does not make him the picture of youth, he is decades younger than his father. A Gen X monarch.

Harald earned a reputation as a reformer who helped to lead the way towards the lingering monarchies in Europe showing more transparency with the public.

It remains unclear what sort of royal reputation his son will acquire.

However, the new monarch’s wife will become Queen Mette-Marit.

She unfortunately shows up in the Epstein files.

Not only did she email with the disgraced dead pedophile, but met with him multiple times.

She has expressed regret over the association, making her far from the first. She, too, insisted that she had no idea what sort of malevolent predator Epstein really was.

Harald V’s passing is likely a keen reminder of why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle probably moved home.

Jenelle Evans Defends Decision to Homeschool, Says Her Kids Are Too Famous For Public …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Jenelle Evans isn’t exactly a Mom of the Year candidate, so her decision to homeschool her kids has received a fair bit of backlash.

Now, Jenelle has offered yet another explanation for why she pulled her kids out of school — and this time, she’s blaming their Teen Mom 2 fame.

Because apparently, after years of reality TV, social media oversharing, and Jenelle’s seemingly endless personal drama, the real problem is that Kaiser and Ensley are simply too famous for school.

Ensley Jolie Eason, Jenelle Evans and Kaiser Orion Griffith attend the Macy's and Rookie In The City Fashion Show at Herald Square on September 18, 2025 in New York City.

Yes, Evans announced this week that her son Kaiser, 12, and daughter Ensley, 9, are now being homeschooled.

Jenelle has already provided several reasons for the decision, including Kaiser allegedly being bullied and her claim that her health issues make driving the kids to school too difficult.

Now she has added another explanation to the list: Everyone knows who her children are.

“One more note I want to add about homeschooling… my kids were born on TV and even though we haven’t filmed in years people still recognize all of us in public, this includes all schools they attend,” Jenelle wrote on social media (via The Ashley’s Reality Roundup).

According to Jenelle, things get even worse whenever an article about her family is published.

“Once an article gets posted then my kids are questioned by adults about adult situations at home that aren’t even true,” she claimed.

Jenelle said homeschooling will allow her to protect the kids from being “judged or bullied.”

Unfortunately for her, fans weren’t exactly lining up to applaud this particular explanation.

“You put them out there with all the drama you post,” one person commented.

“You did that to them!” another wrote. “They get bullied because of YOU…”

And, well… it’s difficult to argue that Jenelle has exactly made privacy a priority over the years.

Earlier this week, Jenelle explained that Kaiser had been struggling with bullying, particularly related to his weight. She also said her complex regional pain syndrome makes it too painful for her to drive the kids to and from school.

“I literally was taking two hours, three hours, out of my day in the morning and in the afternoons just to do dropoffs and pickups,” she said.

Of course, there’s one small detail that raised some eyebrows: Jenelle chose a school located more than 40 minutes from her home.

She also admitted that homeschooling is convenient because the kids can travel with her when she needs to go somewhere.

“If I do have to do any traveling, they can go with me!” she said.

Meanwhile, Jenelle insists she isn’t actually teaching the children herself.

“I’m not the teacher in this. I just put ’em on the computer!” she explained.

So there you have it, folks.

The kids are too famous, Mom is too injured to drive, school is too far away, homeschooling is more convenient — and apparently, the computer is now the teacher.

What could possibly go wrong?

Kylie Jenner Wants Even Larger Breast Implants: ‘I Say It Every Day’

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Do you know what Kylie Jenner needs?

Bigger breasts!

The famously busty makeup mogul recent spoke on a friends’ podcast and confessed her plans for future implants.

Hey, it’s her body. But … how much bigger are we talking?

‘I do want them bigger’

On the Wednesday, August 26 episode of the Better Half With Stas and Vic podcast, Kylie admitted that her already large breasts just aren’t cutting it for her.

She told her hosts, longtime friend Anastasia Karanikolaou and former employee Victoria Villarroel, that she wants “bigger and more out there” breast implants.

“I do want them bigger,” Kylie confessed.

“I say it every day,” she revealed.

Kylie appears to already be a D or DD bust.

Kylie quipped: “I want my tits to walk in before I do.”

Regardless of someone’s gender or anatomy, if primary or secondary sex characteristics precede them into a room, it’s usually said as a compliment.

Kylie confirmed that she has been talking more seriously about increasing her implant size “for the past year.”

Stassi confirmed: “She has, like, an obsession with big tits.”

Kylie agreed, saying: “Love tits.” To paraphrase a memorable line from Victoria Justice, I think we all love tits. What varies are the details.

‘I want diamonds dripping from my belly button’

If you’re not already aware, Kylie Jenner just turned 29 — mere weeks after potentially tanking her brand by advertising the pervert glasses.

She shared that she “probably” won’t grow top-heavier before she turns 30.

However, Kylie does plan to get her belly button pierced “just to experience it.”

She shared: “I want diamonds dripping from my belly button. Dripping everywhere.”

Last year, Kylie shared that her implants are: “445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! … Hope this helps lol.” It is unclear what new size she might seek.

It is very tempting to second-guess Kylie’s plans, saying either that her figure is already perfect or that, if anything, she’s a little bustier than her small frame necessarily needs.

But this is Kylie’s body. If she wishes to undergo a surgery — even one with a famously miserable recovery time — and buy a new wardrobe, that’s up to her.

Everyone in the world has a right to the exact sort of body that they want.

Unlike Kylie, however, the vast majority of people cannot afford it.

Insofar as outside opinions matter at all, there are definitely some people who will be cheering and celebrating whenever Kylie unveils her new bust.
