Albitch Ring Rant Post Part 2

Since I'm in a bad mood for whatever fucking reason, also Tumblr won't let me post Princess's ask, that's an actual cold hard truth, Imma do this instead 😁

And we already sound crazy already. So, let's drag this pretentious slut again, shall we..? Oh, and special thanks to 👸 for being bored, and once again bringing me stuff to fucking destroy this bitch with 🫶

So, remember when the timeline they made didn't make sense? Yeah, it'll continue to do so. Because her fan page posted this, four days ago.

Now, I don't really care what this bitch does, as long as she doesn't make Chris look bad, in which case... LEMME AT HER!!! But if this is July 2020... Chris ain't there with her at all. Considering he was with Lily James in London! Remember that? Seemed like forever ago 😅

So, if they're claiming something about the timeline in July 2020... They're fucking lying 🙄 again

Let's travel a little forward in time to yesterday 😁

So, we all saw Albitch rocking the dullest and most cheap ass ring you've ever seen, right? It gets worse much worse.

Justin LD(lyme diseased) posted a shit ton of pics with Albitch. And that ring honestly looks even duller and pathetic in those, more than anything.

And we all know Albitch and Chris have zero chemistry whatsoever, props goes to the top comment on the post because it's so true, and sparked my belief that the bitch is sleeping with Justin 🤭

And I honestly agree with the commenter at the top. They do look good together.

They both look equally perfectly AWFUL on the red carpet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

WTF is with the head tilt?! It stopped being cute 3000 articles ago, Albitch! And this isn't a prom! Why do those two look like they're taking prom pics?!

And bonus, if you look at this photo of LD story, Albitch looks like a horror movie ghost who does the jumpscares

I see no difference 🤭🫣

Let's go back to the ring.

Someone posted on here a few weeks to months ago, that Chris was engaged during August...

See the problem with that timeline is that Albitch posted more pics with LD, and she was most definitely not wearing a ring then 👀

Jump back to the present.

Imma go back to her solo pics again. We've all seen them, no need to reiterate, see the thing is, for some reason, another fan page of hers got a more HD and clear photo of the ring...

How in the hell did they get that?! But not her Agency 👀

This is the part where I call two rings, and she used Photoshop again!

And can y'all stop saying that her ring is gold, it clearly fucking isn't!!! Unless y'all are colorblind that's white gold or silver!

Now, as for the two rings the one in the picture we saw is definitely not that one.

That ring still looks silver or white gold, but has a round stone with nothing surrounding it, and is dull compared to everything else she's wearing. Meanwhile the new pic, square stone, with stones on the band...

This is where I call BULLSHIT

Those two pictures look as different as Chris does in the Lisbon old-new photos! So, in conclusion, somebody photoshopped it in, and chose a completely different equally cheap ring, and made it shiny 😒

Seriously, this is getting tired, and I'm sorry but Albitch and her entourage of wannabe influencers should just quit.

No one will believe her because she's been lying from the get go. Aside from that, if she and Chris are real, it means she's been openly cheating on him since before they were ever official. And Chris flirts with women, and tells the whole world he's single, and looking for a serious partner.

Again, at this point, Dodger and the kids are the only innocents. Who need to be protected from all this. Because another bomb will drop, and we will lose more of the Fandom than we did when NYCC happened. 😞

Albitch Ring Rant Post Part 1

Post-AGT Appearance 1253: Jerry Rogers WBAL fm 101.5 June 11

Last week in Nova Scotia, Canada my second cousin once removed: Byron McAlpine died following a side by side accident.  I would be at my Nevada house because it was the best option for my breathing.  My doctor would tell me not to go to the funeral or anywhere on the east coast because the smoke from the Canadian wildfires might kill me.  His funeral was Saturday.

The Reverend Pat Robertson died Thursday.  He would have started in 24th place, peaked at 19th in 2017 and died 26th.  On Friday I would have exchanged several messages with my agent and he would have agreed that I should delay an announcement and try to build suspense that he was the last name on Phillip’s list.  So I would have prepared a comment and planned to release it on Tuesday.  Then Saturday we would learn of the death of the unabomber Ted kaczynski.  He would have started at his peak position: 85th, dropped out of the top 100 in 2016 then returned to the top 100 in 2021 when bookies learned he was ailing.  (They get the news of such things quickly.)  He would have died in 96th place and my agent would have demanded a quick reply.  So I would have merged them with a message on all websites Sunday morning.  The first to quote me would be Jerry Rogers.  He hosts a talk show on WBAL fm 101.5 in Maryland.  He would quote me after the 9:30 am station break on his 7 to 10 am show.

Rogers: Welcome back to the Jerry Rogers Show, now in the final half hour on this Sunday, June 11, 2023.  I don’t know how many of you are following the career of Phil Cole, former America’s Got Talent contestant who does a one man show called Phillip and Cole’s Variety Team.  Well for years now people have been trying to guess which famous celebrity makes his character Phillip the Boston intellectual sick.  Supposedly this Phillip has been in and out of comas coinciding with good news about President Trump.  I’ve been informed that recently he’s been feeling better and performing on crutches.  So, we lost Pat Robertson Thursday and unabomber Ted Kaczynski yesterday.  Could either of them be the mystery name.  Well, he just released this tweet:

PBC: We don’t know why anyone thought Pat Robertson was the last name on Phillip’s list, maybe because he was on tv too much and said strange things.  Maybe someone thought it was Ted Kaczynski for killing a lot of people.  That we understand.  No and no.

Rogers: So it wasn’t either of them.  Who is it: Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Jane Fonda, maybe Vladimir Putin, maybe some overexposed singer or actor.  Any other good guesses and does anyone out there have a bet on the subject?

WOO! Had to go through high or hell water, but a blessing in the form of the mysterious new friend 🎄 helped me get the info I need

Now... Let's drag this pretentious bitch through the mud again, shall we..?

For starters, let's admire the "bride"😜

Well, well... They actually made the Wicked Witch of the East (West is Elphaba, I will not drag her with this bitch) look good. Even 👸 said she actually liked the lipstick and wearing a good outfit, covering what everyone has already seen too much of, and choosing black, to mourn her lost Instagram followers? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And what is with that position?! She also hates the little bow on the dress, it's indicative of Albitch's Lolita personality (in my words, AS IF THE BITCH NEEDED TO REMIND EVERYONE). And those cold black eyes 😆 What is with the bow below? Most people would have the bow at the waist! (I told her that Albitch doesn't have curves to accentuate 🙃)

👸 is being a savage today and I'm loving it!!!

Honestly, she's right, as always 😆 and the thing with Albitch's stupid ass position it kinda reminds me of Cinderella's step sisters 🤭

And she actually wears something other than crop tops?!😵 And really? A babydoll dress? Could you be anymore obvious, Albitch?!

And one last thing... FUCKING FIX YOUR POSITIONS, YOU WANNABE!!!

Onto the topic of Chris...

Their rings don't fucking match! What married couple doesn't have matching rings?! This isn't the 1800s where only the bride wears the ring. Both husband and wife, are supposed to have a ring. They might not wear it all the time, but they do have rings! But these two? You put their photos right next to each other, and it looks like someone told them to each buy a ring without knowing what the other even looked like 🤭☕

His is some form of gold. Still doesn't fit... And hers, are silver, dull and fucking loose!!!

Sidebar~

Thank you 👸 for showing me this vid, I needed that laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Albitch, do you seriously don't know what to do with your hands? With all your slutty posts, I thought you'd be an expert by now 🤭 I guess that's why you never show them in pictures you post...

And another thing. This goes to all of the people who thought she's hiding because she's pregnant...

DOES SHE LOOK REMOTELY PREGNANT TO YOU?! YOU'RE FUCKING DELULU!!!

And we're back to Chris...

Yeah those wedding rings are seriously not matching. And no matter how you spin it, there's absolutely zero reason for those two to not match. Unless neither knew what the other bought in which case...

THEY'RE EXPOSING THEMSELVES!!!!

Just like how Albitch appearing without Chris only confirms our suspicions, that he's in MA, with his family, DEFINITELY WITHOUT HIS LOVING NEW BRIDE 😁

Now, isn't that just couple goals... 🙄

I mean Dodger will actually have a happy Thanksgiving this year, because his Daddy would actually smell nice and not have his wicked Step-Mother

Oh, I forgot! 👸 rewatched Chris' NYCC panel, and at 10:14 of the video...

She told me, it's really hard to notice, and I didn't but after two tries I did too, that Chris mentions that he has to use treats to get Dodger to come near him, because, "sometimes stuff happens"...

I'm sorry, but WHAT STUFF HAPPENED THAT MAKES DODGER NOT WANT TO BE NEAR YOU, CHRISTOPHER?!

I know it sounds like a stretch, and probably a major conspiracy theory. But come on! Dodger is the least shy dog on the internet! He loves new friends, in dog and human form.

And he's a dog who, like his Dad, loves to show affection, and receive it. There's no way, Dodger would avoid people, unless, and my dog is like this, they've had a bad experience with that person, and they don't trust them. Even just the scent might have them stay away. 🤔🧐

TL;DR

🎄 is an angel sent from the heavens to have helped me. 👸 is SAVAGE today with the sick burns. Albitch looks decent, but her positions, and the fact that literally EVERYTHING but the ring shines is another Red Flag 🚩(we're about to run out of room for these flags). Chris and her have rings that don't fucking match. Dodger might be having a happy Thanksgiving because his wicked Step-Mother is as far from MA as she can be (Green card, what? She doesn't know her🤭)

Oh, and...

Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate it 😁🍗

The Definitive Guide on Esport Betting

Some esport betting sites offer academy’s where you can learn all about the different types of games people are betting on, strategies and tactics, as well as common mistakes to avoid. Like other forms of betting, esports offers a unique betting structure, as you can bet on winners, losers, as well as items you would only find in the world of video games.

Fractional Odds - like ratios these present as follow - $1 bet $3 net means your odds were 3/1.

Decimals - just like fractions these are easier to calculate except you have to manually remove your stake to see your net

Moneyline - an intricate system uses 100 as a baseline. This is similar to a percentage where -110 would mean you have on the line to win $100. For a positive just divide by 100 and add 1 for the decimal the opposite for a negative.

Post-AGT Appearance 1228: Marissa WCDA 106.3 fm November 23

Following Tuesday night’s performance we would put a very weak Phillip into the hospital for observation.  Only Norbert would be able to perform for the rest of the week.  we would have posted an announcement about that on our websites and the Colbert website.  A few people would mention it but no one would quote it. 

I forgot to mention that if this was true Paul Pelosi would not have been attacked.  Also Ketanji Brown Jackson would have been approved by the Supreme Court 52-47 on November 15.  She would be waiting to join the court after the Thanksgiving break.

Recent obituaries include John Y. Brown, Jr.  I would have told jokes about him often, especially during the first 2 years.  So he would have started in 87th place, peaked at 85 twice, both in 2017, then dropped out of the top 100 in 2020, rejoining it twice early this year, most recently March-May.  Upon his death a clerk in my agent’s office would have activated a pre-recorded comment.  The first to quote it would be Marissa, an evening dj at Kentucky station WCDA 106.3, called hits 106.

Marissa: Welcome back folks.  We have an announcement.  I suppose by now you all heard that John Y. Brown, our former Governor passed away.  Well, there’s a celebrity named Phil Cole and his one man variety team that have this huge guessing game going on.  Someday we’re going to lose one of these old celebrities and they’re going to tell us he was the last name on the list of celebrities that make Phillip sick.  A lot of you think it’s Mitch McConnell.  That’s why I’m still paying attention.  I guess someone thought it was John Y. Brown.  So today Phil issued this statement.  I quote:

PBC: Phillip and Cole’s Variety Team congratulates everyone who thought John Y. Brown, jr. was the last name on Phillip’s sick list.  Though he is not the remaining name, those who thought he was must be familiar with our early career and thought hard.  Bookies please give those folks a discount on their next bet.

Marissa: That’s a good one, huh?

[MF] Gaining Ground

He put on his oven mitts when he heard the beep. The steel, commercial-sized oven could cook enough for 100 people, but he only needed to feed 40.

Opening the oven, he felt the heat blast his face as he looked down at the lasagna casserole. Steam rose from the wide tray of penne pasta, melted cheese, sizzling tomato sauce and hot sausage. It looked like it had burnt on the sides, but he didn’t care. These kids would eat anything.

After pulling out the tray and placing it on the counter, he took off his gloves and walked over to his bag. From inside it he pulled out a clear, unmarked bottle filled with a light pink powder.

The casserole would be an easy meal to make the powder disappear. He would just mix it in with the serving spoon and voilà. None of the players would need to know what they were eating. He had regretted making burgers during the first week he began feeding the team. He had to sprinkle each individual patty with the powder and make sure it was covered with the slice of cheese. That’s when he decided to start making meals that fit in large trays. He planned to continue through his rotation of shareable meals for the next few weeks, at least until after the league championship game.

“Chef Bill! Chef Bill! Chef Bill!”

Cody chanted along with his teammates, but not as loud as some of the hungry linemen, as the cook walked out of the kitchen holding a tray of steaming food. They had used to call him Mr. Hamlin when he taught chemistry, but ever since his accident in the lab, he was no longer allowed to teach classes. It was probably for the best.

Some students were surprised Principal Webber allowed him to stay on as cook, but the principal had assured everyone there was no risk, and that Bill was a good man who deserved another chance. Cody thought the principal did it because he felt bad for Bill. Even as a teacher, he always had a hint of sadness in his eyes. Cody had heard his wife left him a few years back, and once when he was biking home he saw Bill walking toward the trailer park where his mom told him not to wander.

“What’d you think of that new play?” Steve asked him.

“What’s that? Cody responded, distracted. “Oh yeah, the play. I think it’s smart. If the linemen make their blocks, I’ll have no one but the safety to beat. And I can juke him out.”

“Forget juking. Run over him,” Steve said, patting him on the shoulder. “Look how big you’ve gotten. You can run over anyone.”

After Bill put the tray down on the table, Cody went up with Steve and the other seniors to take his serving. Then the juniors went up, followed by the underclassmen. The older players scooped the better pieces of the casserole, leaving the burnt edges for their younger teammates, but that didn’t stop anyone from wolfing down their meals. The typically loud banter from the group was replaced by the sounds of forks and chewing mouths as they scarfed down the first food they had eaten in hours. Practice always made them hungry.

“All right everyone, listen up,” Coach Hunter said once he saw that most of the players had finished eating. “It’s no secret that the season didn’t start out the way we wanted. But you guys have shown serious improvement over the last few weeks, and if we win tomorrow we’ll be 4-4. We would still need to win our last three games to make the league championship, but like I always say: one week at a time. The games are not going to be won on the field. They are going to be won at practice and in the weight room. If you put in the extra effort when no one is watching, you’ll be able to celebrate with the whole school cheering from the bleachers. Get to sleep early tonight, and you’ll wake up stronger tomorrow. Team on three. One. Two. Three."

“TEAM” the players chanted in unison. Then they began to throw away their plates and file out of the cafeteria.

He opened the door to his mobile home, a rusted trailer not much bigger than a minivan with cinderblocks instead of wheels. The key always got stuck at first, and he had to jiggle the handle to get the door open.

Once inside, Bill glanced around to make sure everything was still in its place. On the right side of the trailer was his pull-out couch and a small television set. On the left side, the kitchen countertop was lined with beakers, test tubes and a plastic shelf filled with bags containing various minerals in powdered form. Ever since he lost his job as chemistry teacher, this cramped kitchen had become his lab.

Bill pulled the bags out of the shelf one by one to check how much of each mineral remained. He had only mastered the formula for the strength serum about a month earlier, but already he had depleted each of the necessary minerals significantly. He would need to make sure he had enough to last through the league championship game.

As he sifted through his materials and thought about his plan, he wondered if the kids had noticed themselves growing unnaturally stronger. They probably wouldn’t think anything of it. They were going through puberty anyway, and their egos would likely attribute the growth to their work in the weight room. If the kids didn’t notice it, he worried that the parents might, or even the coaches. The team had improved and won its last three games. But the regular season wins didn’t matter to Bill. The bet he placed had been on the league championship.

His bookie didn’t usually accept bets on high school sports, but he made an exception for this one. It couldn’t be on an individual game, only on the league champion at the end of the year. Irving High struggled last year and had gotten off to a slow start this year by the time Bill mastered the serum. When he went to ask about league championship odds after the fourth week, his bookie gave him 20-to-1 odds on Irving, even though there were only 10 teams in the league. He put all of the money he had been saving up — a full $5,000 — on the team. But he wasn’t betting on a bunch of high schoolers, he thought. He was betting on himself.

Bill pulled one of his microwave dinners out of the freezer and began to heat it up. If he could only win this bet, he thought, he would never have to eat this crap again. The payout would be big enough that he could rent a spacious apartment with a full kitchen, and he could stock up on fresh groceries. He thought back to the meals he used to cook for Linda, before she kicked him out of the house.

Suddenly, his attention was grabbed by a hard knock on the door that shook the entire trailer.

“Open up, Bill. I know you’re in there.” It was Dave, the owner of the trailer park.

“Be right there.” Bill shouted. He walked over to the door and opened it a crack, stopping it with his foot so Dave could see his face but not the entirety of his home. “What can I do you for, Dave?”

“You know why I’m here, Bill. You’re three days late on the rent. I ought to kick you out of this park. Freeloading off all of these fine people who pay their rent on time, that’s what you’re doing.”

“I know I know,” Bill gathered his thoughts. “Look, I don’t have it this month. But I’ve got some money coming in soon, and next month I’ll pay you double, plus interest. I might even have enough to leave this godforsaken trailer park.”

“That’s no way to talk about a park to it’s owner, especially one who’s letting you live rent free. If you don’t have the money to me by the first of next month, plus a 5% late fee, I’ll tow your piece of shit trailer out of the park myself. You consider this a warning.”

“Thanks, Dave. I’ll have the money. Don’t you worry.”

“FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!”

The chorus of teammates chanting together echoed off the weight room’s concrete ceiling as Cody completed his set on the squat machine. He slammed the bar back into place on the rack and then walked away from the machine, flexing his arms as his teammates cheered him. He had just done 10 reps of 405. Last week, he could only do six reps at that weight, and the week before, just two.

“Dude, you’re killing it,” Steve said to Cody as he rejoined his group of friends. “Since when can you squat that much?”

“Since this month, I guess.” Cody grabbed his legs to feel his quad muscles. They had grown larger and more firm in the last few weeks, he thought, just like his arms. “But I’m not the only one hitting a new max. Look at Frankie.”

The boys looked over as Frankie, a stout junior who played center, put another plate on each side of the squat rack. A crowd gathered around him.

“He’s about to squat 495. Holy shit.” Cody looked at Steve with his eyebrows raised as Frankie strutted around to the front of the squat rack. He bent his knees as he pulled his head under, placed his hands evenly on the bar, pushed it up with his shoulders and began to squat.

The mob of teammates around him cheered even louder as Frankie reached his sixth rep. Veins bulged out of the boy’s forehead as he forced up a seventh. Cody was surprised he made it that far and his jaw dropped as he saw Frankie going down for one more. The voices urging him on grew louder and louder, screaming his name as Frankie bent his knees to his lowest point.

“AAAHHH” Frankie shouted in pain as he collapsed onto the ground, the weights falling out of his hands and slamming onto the safety bars. His teammates’ cheering stopped suddenly as they crowded around him asking if he was all right. Frankie cursed as he held his knee. “Get the trainer! NOW!”

Three weeks later, Cody could barely fit into his clothing. His skin-tight compression shorts felt like they might rip as he pulled them on and began to get dressed for the big game.

“You’re looking huge, kid.” His coach patted on the back of his muscular shoulders. “How do you feel?”

“Fine. I mean, good. I’m ready to go.”

“You better be. This is the biggest game of your life, son.”

He was usually one of the first to start getting ready, but his teammates had arrived early today. They each sat in front of their lockers, headphones on and not talking to each other as they went through their early preparation for the game. All except Frankie. He sat on a bench in jeans and his varsity jacket, with his two crutches leaned up against the wall next to him. He hadn’t played since the accident.

As he looked around at his teammates, Cody wondered if they felt as anxious as he did. He always felt a little nervous before games, but this one felt different. It was the league championship game, and he felt like all the pressure was on him. His team’s winning streak had come from Cody running over people with a strength he never had before. He used to be a quick running back and would cut in between the tacklers, but now as he grew stronger and more aggressive, Cody ran straight through and over the defenders. As he thought about some of his harder hits, he felt not pride but fear. He didn’t feel like himself anymore. He didn’t know what his body was capable of doing.

Even if his teammates were as anxious as he was, he knew none of them would say a word about it. They would nod their heads to their own pump-up music, slap each other on the ass, shout each other’s names and describe just how hard they intended to hit the opposing players.

“You good, man?” Steve said as he sat down on the bench next to Cody.

“Yeah I’m good. It just feels weird. I never thought we’d make it this far.”

“It’s been a crazy run, and it’s all because of you, bro.” Steve patted him on the back. “You gonna run over some more losers today?”

“You know it.” The boys pounded knuckles as Steve walked away from Cody’s locker.

“You’re in for a good one today, folks,” the announcer’s voice boomed from the press box. “We’ve got defending champion Monroe High School looking to hold onto their crown against the comeback kids at Irving High. After an 0-4 start to the season, Irving has won a miraculous seven straight games, vaulting them into the league championship.”

The press box sat atop the metal bleachers, and next to the right side of the bleachers stood Bill Hamlin. Standing alone with his arms crossed and sunglasses on, he scanned the packed crowed of excited faces. He saw students and parents he recognized, and just as his focus reached the side gate, he saw the one person he hoped wouldn’t make it. His bookie.

The man in the leather jacket nodded at Bill and began to walk toward him. He wiped his sweaty hands on his jeans as the man approached.

“Tony, how you doing?” Bill said with fake friendliness in his voice as he reached out to shake his bookie’s hand. “I didn’t know you were coming to the game.”

“After that bet you placed, how could I miss it?” Tony said. “Say, how’d you know those Irving kids were gonna turn it around?”

Bill looked around, scared that someone might overhear their conversation. But a steady roar came from the crowd of talking fans, and Tony had gotten close enough that he could practically whisper. “No reason. Just a hunch.”

“A hunch, right. Well look, I’ve got proposition for you,” Tony lowered his voice. "I’ll let you hedge your bet. Put some money down on Monroe. That way no matter who wins, you win something. And you’re not at risk of losing everything.”

He considered the offer. If he hedged his bet, then either way he could win enough to pay the rent he owed. But if he won the whole thing, as he had planned from the beginning, he could start over. He could move into a nice apartment where he could invite people over and cook for them. He would just need Irving to win. Looking over at the field, he saw the team lined up to stretch. Their muscles bulged out of their jerseys as they reached down to touch their toes. They were stronger than the other team. He knew it. He had made it so.

“No thanks, Tony. I’m all in on Irving.”

“That’s a timeout by Irving High. We’ve got a close one here folks. It’s 24-20, Monroe on top, 20 seconds left in the game. Irving has the ball at their own 35 yard line. They need a touchdown or it’s all over.”

Cody could hear the announcer as he jogged toward the sideline where the team huddled around the coach. He tried to slow his breathing, but it had been a long game, and he was exhausted. Someone tossed him a water bottle and he squirted it into his mouth as he tried to hear what his coach was saying. The noise from the crowd made it difficult.

“Can you here me Cody?”

“Yes. Yes Coach.”

“I said we’re calling your play! 28 Toss Crack. Take it to the outside, the blockers will clear the way, and you’ll only have one man between you and the end zone. You got it?”

“I got it, coach.”

The whistle blew and they ran back onto the field, lining up in formation. Cody stood behind the quarterback with his hands on his bent knees. He snuck a quick peek over to the right side of the field to see where the defenders lined up.

“Red 28! Red 28! Set! Hike!”

The quarterback received the snap and tossed it backward to Cody, who sprinted to his right. His blockers pulled out in front of him as he looked to turn up field. The linemen made their blocks with ease, sending the defenders falling backwards as Cody burst through the gap. When he emerged, he saw only the safety between him and the end zone.

He barreled toward the safety and saw his eyes widen as he approached. Cody thought about trying to run him over but decided against it. This was his play. He was going to do it his way. He took a firm step to the right and saw the safety plant his foot, then he shifted all of his weight in the opposite direction and exploded to the left. The safety fell backwards as he tried to recover and Cody danced into the end zone, untouched.

The crowd erupted as Cody turned around, threw the ball into the air, let out his loudest scream and raised his arms to embrace his jumping teammates.

Next to the bleachers, Bill Hamlin pumped his fists and shouted: “YES! We did it!”

Tony, without saying a word, handed Bill a thick envelope and walked away. Bill slipped it into his jacket and turned to exit the stadium.

As walked to his car, he felt euphoria. He couldn’t believe how easy it been. He could now escape from the trailer park and rent a fancy apartment. But then a thought occurred to him: what if he could buy one? What if this scheme could work on another level with even higher stakes, where he could win even more money? He pulled out his phone and began to type into the search engine: “college football team cook jobs.”

Meghan Markle's father has reportedly backed out of the royal wedding, leaving people to wonder who will walk her down the aisle. 

According to betting odds, her mother Doria Ragland is the most popular option.

People are also betting that Markle will walk herself down the aisle.

Prince William, Prince Charles and her "Suits" co-stars are also popular options.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal wedding got a surprising shake-up in the past few days.

On Monday, TMZ reported that Meghan's father Thomas Markle would no longer be attending the ceremony. The 73-year-old told TMZ he had a heart attack six days prior, though the site wrote that "fallout" over staged paparazzi photos was the real cause of his absence.

Now the website has reported that Markle is suffering more chest pains and will possibly head back to the hospital, citing "emotional upset" as the cause. However, Thomas also told the publication he still wants to walk Meghan down the aisle if possible.

The drama has left everyone wondering: If Thomas is a no-show, who will end up walking Meghan down the aisle? Express has reported the latest betting odds from bookies at Betfair, and the results are slightly surprising.

The most popular guess at the moment is Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.

Kensington Palace previously announced that Ragland would accompany Meghan on the car ride to Windsor Castle, so it would make sense that she may also accompany her down the aisle straight after. Ragland is currently the bookies favorite with odds of 6/4.

Meghan and her mother appear to be very close, and Ragland even accompanied Meghan and Harry for the Invictus Games closing ceremony in September 2017. Ragland is reportedly already in the UK, so she may be on-hand to prepare for her potential new duties.

People are also betting that Meghan will walk herself down the aisle.

Though it would be unprecedented, this option is currently the second favorite with odds of 5/1. Meghan has already put her personal touch on royal protocol, and this would be a powerful way to make her mark as an independent, modern member of the royal family.

Her future brother-in-law Prince William is also in the running.

William is currently serving as Harry's best man, so he'd have to be doing double-duty if this ends up being the case. However, Meghan appears to have spent more time with him than any other male member of the royal family — except Harry, of course — as they have attended several events together.

People also noted that there actually is a precedent for this, as Princess Margaret had her brother-in-law Prince Philip walk her down the aisle in 1960 since her father King George VI had passed away. William currently has odds of 14/1.

Harry's father Prince Charles could also fill the role.

If Meghan wants to stick with the tradition of having an older male figure walk her down the aisle, Prince Charles would be the best fit when it comes to Harry's family. He has no official role in the wedding so far, and has also expressed his excitement towards Meghan joining the family, so he also seems likely to step in with odds of 14/1.

Surprisingly, Meghan's "Suits" co-stars are also popular favorites.

Meghan has reportedly invited several of her fellow "Suits" stars to celebrate the wedding, and some people think one of them may nab the job of walking her down the aisle. So far Gabriel Macht and her on-screen husband Patrick J. Adams are tied with odds of 14/1.

Some people think Prince Philip is a slight possibility.

Considering his recent hip replacement surgery in April, this seems like a less likely option. However, the 96-year-old was seen attending the Windsor Horse Show in early May, so he may be recovered enough to make an appearance at the wedding. He currently has odds of 20/1.

Kate Middleton is the least popular option, but perhaps the most interesting.

Many comparisons have been drawn between the two, from their fashion sense to their royal relationships, and having Middleton accompany her down the aisle could be an interesting show of solidarity between the future sisters-in-law. Middleton currently has odds of 100/1, so people don't seem to find this scenario highly likely, especially considering she just gave birth a few weeks ago.

Meghan Markle's father WILL give her away at the royal wedding

Meghan Markle's father WILL give her away at the royal wedding

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to marry at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19 2018 in the year’s most talked-about nuptials.

If, just like us, you’re literally counting down the days and chomping at the bit for every last detail of the upcoming event, this is where you’ll find everything we know so far.

Keep an eye out as we update it with every.single.detail of the wedding of the year…

Meghan’s dad WILL walk his daughter down the aisle

Both of Meghan Markle’s parents WILL attend her wedding to Prince Harry, it has been confirmed by Kensington Palace. After travelling to London the week before the wedding, the estranged couple will meet with the Queen and other senior members of the royal family. This will also be the first time that Prince Harry will meet his future father-in-law.

In a major departure from the traditional wedding format, Meghan’s mother, Doria will travel with her daughter by car to St. George’s Chapel where her father, Thomas Markle will meet the pair to walk his daughter down the aisle.

Today we have provided an update on the Wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle.

Read the full statement here: https://t.co/bhrPnJtrNm

— Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) May 4, 2018

This comes announcement comes days after Meghan’s estranged brother wrote an open letter to Prince Harry declaring, ‘it wasn’t too late to back out.’

The date and time

The royal couple will tie the knot on May 19 2018 at 12 p.m. noon. The wedding will be televised so if you’re watching from the US, it will be an early morning!

Harry and Meghan will complete a two-mile journey on the streets of London after exchanging their wedding vows in front of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby. The marriage service will last an hour, beginning at 12pm and finishing by 1pm, and it takes place in the castle’s 15th century St George’s Chapel.

The route, in case you want to pop by to cheer them on (of course, you will) will see the happy couple take a trip down Castle Hill, along the High Street and then along Sheet Street, Kings Road and Albert Road, before returning to Windsor Castle along the Long Walk. Phew!

After their drive-by, they’ll greet their guests from the ceremony at a reception at St. George’s Hall (a very fancy location, if you’re asking). The close friends and family party will be hosted by Prince Charles – as he did for William and Kate following their 2011 ceremony – at Frogmore House (and we are sure there will be plenty of dad dancing – we’re looking at you, William, and banging club tunes).

The dress

After months of speculation, there’s been rumours flying around left, right and centre about who will design the wedding dress of the year.

Bookies suspended betting earlier this year on who will be the designer of Meghan Markle’s wedding dressafter a flurry of bets were placed on Alexander McQueen. Royal fans will remember that Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen was the lady who designed Kate’s ethereal gown.

Israel-based bridal designer Inbal Dror also recently confirmed to PEOPLE that – at the request of Kensington Palace (fancy!) – they sent a sketch for Meghan to consider.

Her dresses are often adorned with intricate embellishment while layered frills and sheer inserts are her staple. Ooooh.

Meghan’s pre-wedding wellness plan

Meghan is a walking advocate for the healthy lifestyle she preaches. In fact, her mother is a yoga instructor so that’s one of her secrets to staying in shape.

As for her healthy eating regime, she has previously said: “I try to eat vegan during the week and then have a little bit more flexibility with what I dig into on the weekends.”

So what does a *perfect* day in her food diary look like? She told The New Potato:

“A Clean Cleanse vanilla shake blended with frozen Ontario blueberries for breakfast, a Niçoise salad and glass of rosé, with some Grey Owl goat cheese and baguette on the side for lunch, and a leisurely dinner of seafood and pasta, and a negroni to cap off the night,”

We wonder if she’s tucking into a glass of rosé right now…

She also swears by running as a form of meditation – but adds balance to her lifestyle by gorging on french fries at weekends. A girl after our own heart.

The music

Kensington Palace has revealed that the music for the ceremony will be directed by James Vivian, the music director for St. George’s Chapel, where Harry and Markle are set to wed.

Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason has also been hand-picked by the couple to perform. The youngster won 2016’s BBC Young Musician and received a phone call from Meghan Markle herself regarding a performance at the wedding.

According to the royal website, he said: “I’m so excited and honoured to perform at Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle’s wedding. I was bowled over when Ms. Markle called me to ask if I would play during the ceremony, and of course I immediately said yes!”

The Christian gospel group, The Kingdom Choir, will also perform, and there will be a few surprise guests lined up, too.

The couple’s gift from the Queen

While they’ve only asked for charity donations, the Queen is likely to give the couple a gift – and it’ll be a lavish one. Sticking to tradition, the Queen will most likely give Harry and Meghan a home. She gifted Kate and William with Anmer Hall so will no doubt do the same for Harry and Meghan. The couple are currently living in Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace and have just welcomed some very regal neighbours. Indeed, Harry’s cousin, Princess Eugenie, has just moved in next door with her fiance, Jack Brooksbank. Just imagine the dinner parties!

The flowers

Kensington Palace has announced that the couple has chosen London-based Philippa Craddock to work on their flower arrangements.

In the official announcement, Kensington Palace wrote: “Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle have chosen floral designer @philippacraddock to create the church flowers for their wedding.”

They also gave us an insight into the exact flowers the couple have plumped for, revealing: “The displays in St George’s Chapel will feature foliage from The Crown Estate and Windsor Great Park, and will use seasonal plants including branches of beech, birch and hornbeam, as well as white garden roses, peonies and foxgloves.

“The designs will reflect the wild and natural landscapes from which many of the plants will be drawn.

“The Royal Parks will also supply pollinator-friendly plants from their wildflower meadows. These plants provide a great habitat for bees and help to sustain healthy and biodiverse ecosystems.”

The florist herself also took to Instagram to discuss working with the couple, citing it ‘an incredible privilege’.

She wrote: “I am loving working with them, it is an incredible privilege, and the designs will be a true reflection of them as a couple, with sustainability at the forefront. We will be using plenty of locally sourced greenery and seasonal flowers including peonies, garden roses and foxglove.”

The cake

Kensington Palace confirmed that the couple is using Californian pastry chef Claire Ptak, who will whip up a delicious lemon elderflower cake for their big day.

In a celebration of Spring, the cake will be scattered with flowers, buttercream and zesty lemon – and we have little doubt it will be absolutely delish.

Food writer and food stylist, Chef Ptak, who runs Violet Bakery, was once interviewed by Meghan for her website, The Tig, so it’s hardly surprising she’s been snapped up.

Who’s going?

As well as royals, dignitaries and A-listers, over 2,600 members of the public are in with a chance at attending the biggest wedding of the year.

The 2,640 people will include ‘people who have served their communities’ and will be chosen by the Queen’s representatives from all over the UK.

There will also be a selection of people from the charities and organisations that the royal couple support (they are both huge charity advocates, if you didn’t already know).

There will also be 100 pupils from two local schools and a staggering 610 Windsor Castle community members and 530 members of the Royal Household.

The gift list

Prince Harry and Meghan are apparently shunning a gift list and instead are asking their guests to donate money to Harry’s charity via his Royal Foundation. How lovely.

A source told The Sun: “Prince Harry is a man who has everything. He doesn’t want guests spending lots of time buying him extravagant presents but he does want them to support his charity work.

“Obviously he has his own foundation with Prince William and Kate, and he also supports organisations like Wellchild and the Invictus Foundation.

“He’s expected to provide more specific information with the individual invites.”

The entertainment

While we can’t confirm whether it’s true or not, rumours are flying that THE Spice Girls will perform some of their classic hits at the wedding.

How do we know? Well, speaking on American talk show, The Real, Spice Girl, Mel B, admitted that the five-piece band will be attending the hotly-anticipated nuptials.

Presenter Loni Love asked Mel: “Do you know anybody that you think is gonna go to this wedding?” Mel nodded her head and mouthed, “Yeah, I’m going… I don’t know if I should’ve said that!”

When she was asked if she knew anyone else attending, she slipped: “Well us five Spice Girls… why am I so honest?”

Then she added: “This is where I’m just like… I need to go. I’m going to be fired!”

Please let it be true…

The mini-moon

According to The Irish Independent, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be spending time in Ireland soon after their wedding this Spring.

The couple will apparently visit in June or July for one night only and we’re bet the locals are delighted they’ll get a glimpse of the married couple for the first time.

Meghan’s wife training

According to The Daily Express, as part of her training, Meghan spent two days in the English countryside where she undertook some security training sessions, including a ‘kidnap and rescue’ scenario.

Members of the Royal Army’s SAS regiment taught Meghan how to act if she ever found herself in a hostile situation and apparently used live ammunition while rescuing the former Suits actress from her fake kidnapping.

The actress was also taught that it’s best to forge a relationship with potential kidnappers and even learnt how to behave if her rescuers are killed and she has to fend for herself. Talk about intense!

Meghan was apparently also trained on how to drink tea (a quintessentially British activity). According to the actress’ new biography, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, and US Weekly, Meghan learnt the royal protocol and etiquette of tea drinking, including the specific way to hold the cup. Meghan was given the chance to practise when she took tea with the queen before news of the couple’s engagement was announced.

The hen party

According to Us Weekly, Meghan’s hen party didn’t quite involve willy straws and sashes; it was a much more civilised affair at the high-end, A-list retreat, Soho Farmhouse.

There’s 100 acres of lush green countryside, swimming pools, spas and even a milkman to deliver your morning milk; how very British.

The couple’s gift to the public

We won’t be getting a day off in celebration of the wedding (*sigh*), but the government is giving us another present to honour the royal nuptials.

Pubs will have their licensing hours extended during the weekend of the wedding so we can all raise a glass (or five) to the happy couple. Cheers, Meghan and Harry.

It’s good timing because May 19 also coincides with the FA Cup Final and Scottish Cup Final.

Bring.it.on.

In the meantime, let’s look back on the couple’s cutest moments…

Peter Lawwell broke his silence on the SFA yesterday, and laid into the governing body over the way the association has become disengaged from the clubs and from the fans. He was right on every level. He hit every correct note.

His interview with BBC Scotland was fulsome and detailed and he said a lot of things I’ve wanted to hear him say for a while.

There were a number of curiosities in the interview, foremost amongst them when he said that he, personally, had no power to make decisions at the SFA. This is a not-so coded message to those who believe he has too much influence and who might be nervous about the possibility of Lawwell or Celtic acquiring any more.

window._ttf = window._ttf || []; _ttf.push({ pid : 43792 ,lang : "en" ,slot : '.content .article-content > p,.teadsNative' ,format : "inread" ,mobile : false ,minSlot : 2 ,components : { skip: {delay : 0}} ,mutable : true ,css : "margin: 0px 0px 20px;" }); (function (d) { var js, s = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; js = d.createElement('script'); js.async = true; js.src = '//cdn.teads.tv/media/format.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(js, s); })(window.document);

I have three words for them which Lawwell, sadly, didn’t use.

“Get over it.”

Celtic will influence the future direction of Scottish football. Of course we will. Of course Peter Lawwell will be one of the men who decides what happens and how. It’s natural, and even necessary. And not everyone will like it.

Well, too bad for them. There was a time, not long ago, when almost every position of influence inside Hampden was held by someone with an allegiance to the blue half of Glasgow. There was never a point where these people raised any issue with that.

Celtic is still viewed with suspicion by a lot of people smart enough to know better. The so-called Glasgow axis is in their own imaginations. The era of Celtic and a club from Ibrox voting together to block reform ended in 2012, and the voting structure now means that our club, alone, can’t stand in the way of real change. Those who blame us for blocking the road haven’t done their homework, or are seeking to deliberately mislead others.

Has Celtic acted in its own interests at times? Of course we have, and we would have been stupid not to. But people forget how much we’ve left on the table ourselves over the year. The rights to do our own media deals is something we should have taken back from the financial illiterates at the SPFL and SFA years back, but we remain tied to their ridiculous deals, which bind our hands and limit our earning potential overseas.

Smarter people than we have running the game here would have recognised an opportunity in letting us take the lead on our own broadcasting rights; they would have let us negotiate part of it wholly separate from the league and taken a percentage. Not these jokers. Instead, the package for our top flight is worth a pittance compared to other countries; even tiny Denmark has a television contract worth twice what our current deal brings in.

This is a disgrace for which Doncaster and others should have walked the plank a long time ago. Things don’t look like improving much either. When the media talks about our chances of getting a figure equal to the deal we thought we’d secured back in 2009 you know how little ambition there is for our national sport. With the current crop in charge this might well be as good as it gets and the sport will continue to go backwards until it’s never this good again.

This is a crucial moment for our national game. Instead of sniping and bitching and falling into the usual trap, which is to say that this is Celtic doing what Celtic has always done, what a club called Rangers did, and looking out for ourselves, these people need to have a good look at what we’ve achieved within our own walls.

We’re going to be the first club in Scotland ever to achieve £100 million in turnover, despite the appalling television contract and the squeeze on our revenues that comes from our destiny not entirely being in our own hands. We’re a football club run on a sustainable basis; we didn’t luck our way into this. Professionals did this.

And Scottish football would rather leave things to amateurs? Out of pique? Out of ancient, tribal, nonsense? My own indictment of Sevco, and my own desire that their people do not hold high office, is not only predicated on what I know they’d do with it; these people are a joke. King is a man who built his wealth on being good at one thing; fraud. Stewart Robertson is not a leader by any stretch of the imagination. Others at Ibrox are clueless, mere box checkers.

Not one of them – save for the Parks – has ever built a business or sold a business as a concept or grew a business. The skill to do it just isn’t there, and Scottish football has had too much of clever little accountants when what it needs is someone who can pitch a deal, make a sale, someone with showmanship, someone who knows how to brand and market.

Most of it isn’t ground-breaking stuff. One of Scottish football’s best marketing stratagems was also one of its most simple; squad numbers. Before that, in the days when players starting games wore numbers one to eleven there was no scope for building a brand out of a club’s best players. There were no replica shirts with names and numbers on the back. We nicked that one from England, but someone sitting somewhere saw the value in it.

There’s no original thinking at the SPFL anymore. They struggle to find sponsors, largely, perhaps, because they appeal to the same stupid small bunch of companies instead of going outside of the usual bubble of bookies and booze. This is the image those running the game have of the average fan; how the Hell are we going to change that perception for other people? And Celtic, too, need to break out of that mind-set; the days of alcohol and betting companies on the front of the jerseys is almost at an end, and if we don’t voluntarily get in front of that then political action will put us behind the curve instead. Legislation on this is inevitable, and for everyone who bitches and moans about that will be two who get it and support it. We can lead the way in changing this, or be rolled over when the change comes; mark my words, it’s coming.

No club has a greater awareness of the strength and power of “the brand”; the Celtic Family concept is one of the finest conceptual developments in our history. Then there’s the Huddle, the way we turned the whole of this year and the 67 anniversary into a celebration of Celtic as a whole … the people we have running this stuff are amongst the best.

If other clubs, if people in the media, if fans of different teams, don’t want to utilise that and our knowledge and our expertise and have people from Celtic advising and assisting and taking positions of responsibility within the sport, harnessing their ideas … then Hell mend them and hell mend the whole of the national sport.

It will never get better.
