Princess Kate asked for a statement that said'recollections can vary' about the Sussexes
Valentine Low is best known to royal-gossips as the Times of London royal reporter who got the big exclusive on Kensington Palace's attempts to frame the Duchess of Sussex as a "bully" in 2021, just days before the Sussexes' Oprah interview aired. It was an obvious scheme to smear Meghan because KP was terrified that she would speak about just how horribly she was treated and how the Windsors are full of racists. Low used those connections - KP staffers mostly, Simon Case and Jason Knauf - to position himself as a royal biographer in tune with the royal courtiers....
Valentine Low is best known to royal-gossips as the Times of London royal reporter who got the big exclusive on Kensington Palace's attempts to frame the Duchess of Sussex as a "bully" in 2021, just days before the Sussexes' Oprah interview aired. It was an obvious scheme to smear Meghan because KP was terrified that she would speak about just how horribly she was treated and how the Windsors are full of racists. Low used those connections - KP staffers mostly, Simon Case and Jason Knauf - to position himself as a royal biographer in tune with the royal courtiers. Thus, Low released his book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, last October. It made minimal impact, as did many of the royal books released in a rush last fall, ahead of the publication of Prince Harry's Spare. Well, now Courtiers is coming out in paperback, and Low has updated it with sections about what happened after QEII passed away, and how "race and racism" is one of the biggest issues facing King Charles's reign. The new sections were excerpted in the Times, and there's a lot of dumb drama about how Charles started firing people basically as soon as he became king, how Charles and Camilla changed the locks on Angela Kelly within days (we already knew that) and how Charles's private secretary Clive Alderton (Prince Harry referred to him as the Wasp in Spare) is in over his head and already unpopular with the old-guard at Buckingham Palace. In the section where Low describes the Susan Hussey debacle last November, he goes into the royal issues around race and, of course, the Duchess of Sussex. The Susan Hussey debacle revealed just how much of a problem the issue of race is for the palace. The underlying issue was not going to go away, however: the royal family has a problem with race, and has done so ever since Meghan made clear how unhappy she had been during her time as a working royal. The "bullying investigation": Later, it emerged that the palace had appointed an outside firm of solicitors to conduct an inquiry. Just over a year later, the palace said it would not be releasing the outcome of the inquiry, or even revealing what lessons had been learnt, on the grounds of confidentiality. But most people suspected that the real reason they were burying the report was to try to keep the peace with Harry and Meghan. The Oprah interview: The second, bigger challenge faced by the palace in March 2021 was Harry and Meghan's interview with Oprah Winfrey. For most people, their most damaging accusation concerned what one courtier awkwardly called "the r-word". That had come up because of remarks that a member of the royal family supposedly made about the colour of Harry and Meghan's future baby's skin. A palace team had watched the interview overnight -- it was screened in the US on the evening of Sunday, March 7, and was not due to be shown in the UK until the next day -- and senior officials had spent the morning locked in conference calls as they debated how to respond. A draft statement was ready by 2pm on Monday. Much to the frustration of the media, however, the palace remained silent. One insider said, "One of the reasons was that the late Queen was adamant that she was going to watch the programme first." And she was going to watch it with the rest of the population, on ITV on Monday evening. The palace response: The next day, the serious negotiations began over the official response. William and Kate - the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as they were then -- sat together on a sofa as they discussed with their officials how to deal with the Sussexes' incendiary allegations. The draft statement they had at that point did not yet include the phrase that was to become famous, that "some recollections may vary". The insider recalled, "It had a much milder version. The debate was, do...

Ben Affleck with Jennifer Lopez, Violet Affleck and Jennifer Lopez on the Fourth July. Michael Rubin, who hosted the Independence Day party this year, always hosts at least one "industry" party. Dress code: "all white." Eh. All-white is a very early 2000s dress code. I remember the Hamptons parties that had all-white dress code. Bennifer and Violet were both game. Violet is her mother's full-blooded daughter. I do a double take whenever I see pictures of her because they always make me think that Jennifer Garner and J.Lo were hanging out. I wonder if J.Lo also does a double-take. Violet paired her white gown with pigtails and wore a masque at the party. She is 17 and still says "actually, i don't wanna catch anything". The only other Hollywood star I have seen wearing a mask to this day is Leo DiCaprio. Ben and J.Lo both are Leos. Jennifer's Birthday is July 24th, and Ben's Birthday is August 15th. Will they go on another birthday trip to Europe? Will they buy a yacht for their birthday? I hope they do. Ben and Jen are also rumored to renew their vows this summer in honor of their anniversary. I hope not, I hope they go on a huge birthday/anniversary vacation. Michael Rubin posted this IG about his party. You can also see a photo of the Affleck and Lopez family. Beyonce attended! Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian were also there, as well as dozens of other A-listers. See this post on Instagram Michael Rubin shared this post (@michaelrubin).

He was a single father when he first met Jwan. Jwan and Ricky used to be a hot couple. But they are both single and on the market again. Ricky Martin is divorcing Jwan Yosef after six years of marriage. In a joint press release, the Puerto Rican star and the Syrian-Swedish singer tell PEOPLE that they have "decided to end our marriage in love, respect and with dignity for our children" and have done so while honoring the wonderful years spent together. The ex-couple who have two children: Lucia born in 2018 and Renn born in 2019 continue, "Our greatest wish is to maintain a healthy family dynamics and a relationship that is centered on friendship and peace to continue our joint upbringing of the children, while preserving the love and respect we share for each other." Martin previously welcomed twins Matteo Valentino born in 2008. He will continue to raise them as a single father. [From People] I'm curious to find out what triggered the divorce. Was it an affair, a fight, or something else? Ricky is very private about his professional and personal life. He has a large team that helps him in every area of his career and life. This is likely to be draining for a marriage but will give Ricky the power and money to dictate what happens next. Ricky used this machinery last year to silence his nephew who had made some horrendous allegations about Ricky. I wonder also if the whole "nephew" story played a part in ending Ricky's relationship.

Prince William was 'literally sick with worry' prior to the Sussexes Oprah interview
Each royal reporter is aware of who has spoken to whom in the Windsor family. All of them have been briefed, and all also have royal insiders or sources. They all know the person who warned Prince Harry not to get serious with Meghan due to what color skin their children might have. They all know the person who made Meghan cry.

Each royal reporter is aware of who has spoken to whom in the Windsor family. All of them have been briefed, and all also have royal insiders or sources. They all know the person who warned Prince Harry not to get serious with Meghan due to what color skin their children might have. They all know the person who made Meghan cry. All of them know how, when and where William attacked Harry. All of them know that Meghan, who was suicidal at the time and desperately in need of help, was pushed away from her family and left on her own. Harry and Meghan aren't the only ones who know these stories. Harry and Meghan are being slammed by the rota because they want to know about all this information, but they have to wait for HM. Harry's inclusion in Spare and the other things that Meghan said in her interview with Oprah in 2021, I believe we can say that Harry has been very secretive. I recall the atmosphere of the British media after the interview - outrage and performative angst. There was also a strange undercurrent that felt like relief. The Sussexes' allegations were not as bad as expected. Speaking of guilty consciences, let's look at this: Prince William was "sick" with worry over Prince Harry’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey. According to reports, the Prince of Wales "cut himself off" from the rest of the world in preparation for his brother's explosive interview with wife Meghan Markle scheduled in March 2021. Charlotte Griffiths, Editor at Large for the Mail on Sun, told Dan Wootton on GB News Tuesday that she had heard the story for a while. William was literally sick from worry in the days leading up to the Oprah interview. She claimed that he was not eating and had become - not reclusive, but definitely hiding away. "He went into a royal house for a while to isolate himself from the outside world." He was in pieces, essentially." Griffiths claimed that Kate Middleton stepped in "to protect" William. Kate stood by her man. Kate said: "I have to stand up for him and protect him." "He's being destroyed,' she thought, and this probably made her steely. She has a reputation of being shy, but that didn't stop her. When it comes to her husband's protection, she will step in and do so. From Page Six They all know, as I said. All of them know why William was "literally ill with worry". They know he was constipated and engorged by sorrow, because he thought Harry and Meghan were going to detail everything he had done, said or done, including every racist comment, violent act, and every rage-tantrum. Why is Charlotte Griffiths saying this now? And why does she frame it in the way that "William spit himself out of terror, so Brilliant Keen Kate protected him"? What's the story here, Charlotte Griffiths asks us. Does it serve to remind William of how much s-t he gave the Sussexes, or is there a deeper meaning? To remind William of the fact that the Sussexes could have really exposed him more? Photos by Avalon Red Backgrid and CBS.

Angelina Jolie is renting Jean-Michel Basquiat’s workspace for Atelier Jolie
Angelina Jolie is renting Jean-Michel Basquiat’s workspace for Atelier Jolie
Angelina Jolie visited New York a lot in the last few months. She has been living in Los Angeles since 2016, when she filed for divorce. She bought a house that is close to Brad Pitt’s Los Feliz compound. Pitt sold it recently. I wondered why she made so many trips, and hoped that maybe it was to spend time with Jonny Lemke. She brings her children to NYC often, and late in June she was there with Zahara Pax and Shiloh. Is she moving to a new home? Does she want residential property?

Angelina Jolie visited New York a lot in the last few months. She has been living in Los Angeles since 2016, when she filed for divorce. She bought a house that is close to Brad Pitt’s Los Feliz compound. Pitt sold it recently. I wondered why she made so many trips, and hoped that maybe it was to spend time with Jonny Lemke. She brings her children to NYC often, and late in June she was there with Zahara Pax and Shiloh. Is she moving to a new home? Does she want residential property? Art News reported that Angelina had been looking for a commercial space to house her new fashion group, Atelier Jolie. She decided to rent the famous address that was Jean-Michel Basquiat’s former work space. Angelina Jolie, actress and humanitarian, will take over the Manhattan property where Andy Warhol lived and worked. John Roesch, Garrett Kelly and Meridian Capital Group, two directors of the agency, confirmed the deal today for the property located at 57 Great Jones Street. Jolie will lease the space under long-term commercial usage for eight years for her latest venture, Atelier Jolie. The interior features 6,600 sq. ft. of space spread over three floors. The building's exterior is decorated with street art. Jolie plans to keep it this way as a tribute to Basquiat who began his career as half of the SAMO graffiti art duo. Roesch said that "[Jolie] wished to preserve the older artwork on the building and maintain the Basquiat feeling to the space." Kelly said, "She loved that the building's facade was adorned with street art in a tribute to Basquiat." Warhol rented Basquiat's second-floor apartment shortly after their first meeting. Warhol bought the building originally in 1970. The property had a long history before Warhol bought it. The building was originally constructed in the 1860s. It was bought by Paolo Antonio Vaccarelli, aka Paul Kelly, who opened the Brighton Athletic Club in 1904. The building was used for a kitchen supply business, a metalworks company and subsequently as a metalworks business until 1970. The property most recently housed the exclusive Japanese restaurant Bohemian. Atelier Jolie is a workshop that will provide an opportunity for tailors and artisans from around the globe who are underrepresented. Participants will have the opportunity to showcase and work on their designs at 57 Great Jones Street. Roesch said that Jolie intends to open her business "as soon as possible". The property had previously been listed with Meridian Capital Group at $60,000 per monthly for a minimum period of 10 years. From Art News That's expensive. I understand why it is so expensive. I can see the reasons, not only for the space, but also because of the pedigree. So I was curious about what Atelier Jolie actually entailed, what type of business it would have and how it would operate. We are getting a closer look at that. Refugee creators will create capsule collections, and they will likely collaborate with established design houses as well. The first collaboration is with Chloe. Will Atelier Jolie designers come to this Basquiat property and work there, or is this more of a showcase space? Will they be at New York Fashion Week this year? The time will tell. But it's still interesting. Do you think Angelina will actually buy or rent residential property in New York to manage this project nearby? Backgrid is the source of these photos.

People Magazine reports that the Wales children are out of school and ready for their summer vacation. The Princess of Wales usually does her last summer events - Wimbledon appearances - at this time and then takes a summer break. Kate will probably not be seen again in late September or early Oct. after the Wimbledon finals on this weekend. It was probably 2021 that she vanished, with no public appearances or sightings for a period of ten to eleven weeks. She did a few things during her holiday last summer, but still, she disappeared for most of the summer. What are Kate's summer plans? Kate plans to "work", according to Vanity Fair/OK Magazine. ? Summer is normally a slow season for royals. But this year, Prince William and Kate have packed their schedules full. The couple have been spending more time in public, with family events such as Trooping the Colour, last week's Scottish service honoring the coronation and William's whistle stop tour to promote his initiative on homelessness. Kate has also had engagements to fulfill her role as president of the VA, and the All England Lawn Tennis Club. One insider told OK!Magazine that Kate's busy schedule is intentional. Kate's busy schedule is not accidental, according to Magazine. The insider stated that "she's taking more engagements than she ever has before." She feels it's important for the monarchy to be seen out and active and not just relax all summer. Insiders also said that King Charles III is pleased with Kate's desire to attend more public events. The insider said that King Charles was delighted to see Kate taking on more events and duties. "Especially since the British public is more likely to see her during the summer months, she gets to spend time with an audience that waits for her all year to get time off. [From Vanity Fair] So we should give her credit for working in the summer because she had events in early June? She does it all the time. She is usually on the move before and during Wimbledon. Then, after the Wimbledon finals, she disappears for two months or ten weeks. You know, call me when she has events planned post-Wimbledon? What's on her calendar for August 1? What about September? No? Cover Images is the source of these photos.

Hill Harper, an actor from Michigan, is running for the US Senate
Hill Harper was a name I'd never heard before yesterday. His acting career is a steady one, mostly in TV. He has been steadily working since 1993. He's more than just a pretty-faced actor! Harper has a BA from Brown in Economics and Sociology and two masters from Harvard. He also played basketball at Harvard with Barry Obama. He's a multi-faceted, interesting guy.

Hill Harper was a name I'd never heard before yesterday. His acting career is a steady one, mostly in TV. He has been steadily working since 1993. He's more than just a pretty-faced actor! Harper has a BA from Brown in Economics and Sociology and two masters from Harvard. He also played basketball at Harvard with Barry Obama. He's a multi-faceted, interesting guy. Should he run for Michigan's Democratic Senate seat 2024, where he has only lived 5 years? He announced his candidacy on yesterday: Hill Harper, an actor and former Michigan senator, announced Monday that he will challenge U.S. Rep. Elissa slotkin for the Democratic nomination to fill a Michigan Senate Seat in 2024. Harper, 57 and Slotkin 47 will both be running to replace retiring Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow. This is expected to one of the most competitive (and costly) Senate races in 2024. Harper reads a message in a video campaign posted on Monday morning to his adopted son, Pierce. Harper, in the voiceover for the advertisement, says "Dear Pierce," "I'm going to make a major announcement. I'm recording this video just for you." It's going be hard for us." Harper says, as clips of the actor and son are shown, "You know I won't be able to tuck in you every night or do our prayers at night together... Fighting for your beliefs is hard, but worth it when you find something that makes you heart beat faster. "And for me, you." Harper says, "Adopting you was the best thing I ever did in my life." Harper, who portrays Dr. Marcus Andrews in the ABC medical drama The Good Doctor moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 2018. She bought a local roaster, and since then has spent a lot of time renovating one the most historic homes. This is his first campaign for public office. Harper studied at Brown University and Harvard Law before pursuing a career in acting. "We live in a state in which I believe the triple-blue leadership in Lansing did incredibly hard work to move the state forward. But in Washington, D.C. it's still broke. People still feel that it is broken. "I'm among them," said the actor in a statement given to The Detroit News. He added: "Our state will be held back if there is no energized and bold leadership in the U.S. Senate." We deserve better than the politics of today, which is why I am running for U.S. Senate. Harper told The Detroit News that he was not sure if, if he were elected, he'd continue filming The Good Doctor. He noted that filming had been put on hold due to the Writers Guild of America strike. "That's impossible because we are on strike." The industry is currently on strike. Who knows, since nothing is happening in the industry? He told the outlet. Harper will face a steep uphill battle when launching her campaign against Slotkin. Slotkin announced her campaign more than four months ago, and since then has raised over $5 million. She also secured several high-profile endorsements. [From People] Harper refused to commit to giving up acting if elected senator. He said it was difficult to predict with the strike of writers. If he is elected, Harper will begin working as a Senator in January 2025. Does he mean that the strike would still be ongoing in 2025? Second, he will not be filming in the event that he is elected to Congress. It's difficult to imagine that Michigan would choose him over Rep. Elissa slotkin, despite his dynamic and educated personality. I looked up her name and it turns out that her birthday was yesterday. He announced his candidacy on her birthday! Below you can watch the video and decide for yourself if the concept of speaking to his son works for you. I didn't find it effective. "You know, you're not going to have me tucking you in at night or doing our nighttime prayers with you." He is choosing to run. He didn't have do this. It's not a logical or expect...

Cary Grant's Daughter: I don't think he liked men but I will never know

Humphrey Bogart, and Cary Grant are my two favorite Old Hollywood leading men. Cary Grant is a suave and debonair man if you've never seen his films. He is quite debonair. Cary's magic is his ability to be a comedian. He doesn't take himself too seriously when he is on screen. He is elegant, but he wears it lightly. Cary's homosexuality has been rumored for a long time. Some people think that he had a romantic relationship with Randolph Scott. He lived with him on and off over a period of twelve years. He was married five times. This doesn't prove a thing, but it is a good context. Jennifer Grant, his only daughter, has denied these rumors over the years. Jennifer Grant was recently asked again about this because she is producing a television series about her father, Archie, on ITV, an English TV channel. She continues to insist that her father was not gay, but she adds that she will never be able to know the truth. If you spend a lot of time with your parents, you will see them differently than most people. Jennifer, aged 57, said: "I never noticed a single hint of it." "I would have noticed it, but not because I would care." She continued, "But I must speak the truth: Dad was charming and he had wonderful friendships, but it's not true that he flirted with men." "A friend sent me an image the other day showing Gregory Peck with my father, Mervyn and Mervyn. They're all good friends." But I never got the hint." Jennifer said, "Perhaps he was involved with a man earlier in his career." I will never know. But if he had, that's fantastic. "I hope he liked it." Jennifer wrote this in her memoir from 2011: "Can't fault men for wanting him and wouldn't even be surprised if Dad flirted with me back." The question is usually more about the asker. Dad enjoyed being called homosexual. He said that it made women want "to prove the assertion incorrect." [From People] Grant's biographers disagree on this issue, but I think the rumors are probably true. It's also my opinion that we shouldn't make any definitive statements about the sexuality a person, who is either a) dead or b) would not have been able come out before retirement. Cary, for example, could have lost his career if he had been open about being gay or bisexual. Coming out is also a deeply individual thing. People should do it the way they feel comfortable, even if that means not coming out at all. The person should have the right to decide when and how they come out. Cary was a notoriously private person who grew up at a different time. He may have kept his queerness to himself after he retired, believing that it was no one else's concern. Cary, or any other celebrity of that era, would never have admitted to being gay without saying so himself. We can only speculate. It would be like taking away something from him, his right to come out the way he wants. He didn't get that in his lifetime. If you haven't seen it yet, I encourage everyone to watch Cary’s film Bringing Up Baby. It never fails to make my laugh, no matter how sad I feel.

Phoebe Waller Bridge is the cover girl for the latest issue of Vanity Fair. She uses it to show how her life has changed in just a few years since Fleabag. She has been in Star Wars, co-wrote last James Bond script and is now partnering with Harrison Ford for Indiana Jones' Last Ride - she plays Indiana Jones' goddaughter and Harrison Ford, it turns out, is a huge Fleabag Fan. She signed a lucrative deal with Amazon Prime a few years ago. However, she hasn't done anything but talk about the Lara Croft TV series that she is working on, or was working on, before the writers strike. Here are some highlights from VF. Fleabag transformed everything: "Fleabag completely changed my career. And then you are so in the moment. Then years go by, pandemics occur, Star Wars is made, Indiana Jones is created. It becomes more and more surreal." Harrison Ford wanted Phoebe to play Indiana Jones. She heard about the project first from Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy who brought up the idea on Ford's behalf. Ford is a big Fleabag Fan. In March 2020, the two women had dinner. Kennedy informed her that James Mangold would be writing and directing the final Indiana Jones film, and that Mangold wanted to explore what it was like to be an older adventurer. Waller-Bridge was intrigued by the idea. She says that people have a preconceived notion of how long a franchise should last. "I always find the most interesting things when you push just a bit past the end. What happens after a conversation? What happens when someone gets into a taxi and leaves for home?" When doing stunt work, "I was just as surprised as you were. I've always had a very lanky and awkward physique. I remember saying early on to Jim and Kathleen: "So I'll do lots of training for the stunt debut?" And they said, "I think it would make you laugh if you didn't." What I love about this character is that she jumps before she looks. She will jump onto the back of a car without knowing whether she is going to live or not. It's only through her willpower that she stays on." Harrison Ford's attitude towards me: "He made very clear that I was equal to him from the very beginning, and this was very liberating. It allowed me to play around and be silly and mischievous." She is not Indy's replacement: "There is no way to replace Indiana Jones." "I feel like the character--she felt fresh on the page and there was a sense, Is there room in this world for someone like her?" She reminds of Indy, who has always been a flawed and reluctant hero. A professor who is afraid of snakes, and gets sore from his fights. "I do believe there is room in the future for a female action star who's clumsier and more bruised." The feeling of developing a Lara Croft Amazon series: "It felt like the teenager inside me was saying, Do what's right for her, do what's right for Lara!" As we discussed earlier, the opportunity to have a female action hero .... After working on Bond, and as an actor in Indy I feel that I have been building towards this. What if I was able to take over an action franchise with all I've learned and a character that I love, while also bringing back a little of the '90s feel? The project sparked "big roaring" instincts in her. It's a wonderful feeling knowing what you should do. The world of remakes and reboots. "I think that when you work in the industry you have to lean in and ride the waves. It's possible to do something very dangerous. If I can make Tomb Raider dangerous and exciting, I have an audience who already love Lara. This is an unusual situation. It's an old Trojan Horse." Donald Glover quits the Mr. Mrs. Smith Series. "I spent six months working on that show with all my heart and soul. I still care about it. I'm sure it will be brilliant. It's important to know when to leave a party. "You don't want get in the path of a vision." She says that creative...

Britney Spears' security guard, Victor Wembanyama, slapped her in the face.

Britney Spears was involved in a horrible incident this week. Britney Spears was at the Aria Hotel in Las Vegas. She saw San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama with his security at the hotel. Britney went up to Victor to ask for a picture. She approached him behind him, tapped on his shoulder (that was her version), and then one of Victor’s security guards backhanded her. Britney filed a police complaint and Victor and she both released statements on Thursday. Recent No. Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall draft choice in this year's NBA Draft, has already experienced his first NBA drama. It involves Britney. According to the Associated Press, the San Antonio Spurs phenom has confirmed that he took part in an incident that allegedly occurred Wednesday at the Aria Hotel Las Vegas. A member of his team slapped the pop icon. According to TMZ Spears filed a report with the police identifying Spurs director Damian Smith, the person who backhanded the pop icon. There are conflicting reports as to whether or not the matter would be investigated criminally. Photos show a person who is identified as Spears walking behind Wembanyama, Smith and Wembanyama. Spears, who was walking with Wembanyama into a restaurant at the time, reportedly asked him for a picture and then tapped his shoulder. This allegedly led to the slap. Smith apologized to Spears at her table. She accepted. Wembanyama, speaking to reporters on Thursday, somewhat confirmed the story. He claimed that Spears had grabbed him rather than tapped him on the shoulders and that his security "pushed" her away instead of slapping him: "It happened, just a little, while I was walking to a restaurant with some team security. We were in a hall. It was obvious that there were a lot people and I got a lot calls. One person was calling, but I had already spoken to the security. I couldn't stop. Wembanyama stated that the person who grabbed him from behind was calling out, "Sir, Sir." "I didn’t see anything because I was walking straight, and I didn’t stop. She grabbed my back, not my shoulder. I know that security pushed her out. Security pushed her back, I don't even know how hard. "I didn't look to see if I could get in and have a nice meal." He said he did not know that the person was Spears for several hours. "I thought it was nothing, but then the security at the Spurs informed me it was Britney Spears." At first I thought you were joking. But it turned out to be Britney Spears. I never saw her. "I just kept walking straight." Spears released a Twitter statement in which she refuted Wembanyama’s claim that he grabbed her and highlighted the force of the blow. "I have experienced a lot of traumatizing experiences. Was I prepared for the events of last night? As I was walking to dinner, I recognized an athlete as I passed through the lobby of my hotel. Later, I went to another hotel's restaurant and saw him. I approached him to congratulate him for his success. It was very loud so I tapped on his shoulder to get him attention. I know the player's statement, where he says "I grabbed [him] from behind", but I tapped him on his shoulder. The security guard then backhanded me in the nose without looking back in front of an audience. I was nearly knocked down, and my glasses were ripped off my face. Spears noted that she had been surrounded by 20 fans on the same evening, but her security team did not hit any of them. She asked for a public apologize from Wembanyama and the Spurs, as well as their security. "This story is embarrassing to tell the world, but it's already out there." But I do think that it is important to tell this story, and to encourage people who are in the public eye treat everyone with respect. In this world, physical violence is too common. Often behind closed doors. I stand by all victims, and my h...

Taylor Swift and Matt Healy have either reunited or they haven’t spoken for a month
The only thing funnier than Taylor Swift and Matt Healy's relationship was their breakup. Taylor gave Matt the full Boyfriend Rollout, and it was clear that they started months before the news broke in May. Even with the Swift machinery supporting Healy, he couldn't hide the fact that he's pretty racist and disgusting. Which made it hilarious when Swift was in the trenches just weeks into the Boyfriend Rollout - it was clear that her people were encouraging her to pull the plug on the whole relationship, which she did by early June.

The only thing funnier than Taylor Swift and Matt Healy's relationship was their breakup. Taylor gave Matt the full Boyfriend Rollout, and it was clear that they started months before the news broke in May. Even with the Swift machinery supporting Healy, he couldn't hide the fact that he's pretty racist and disgusting. Which made it hilarious when Swift was in the trenches just weeks into the Boyfriend Rollout - it was clear that her people were encouraging her to pull the plug on the whole relationship, which she did by early June. Overwrought quotes were provided to People Magazine and TMZ about how Swift and Healy are still good friends, that the relationship was never that serious, that Swift absolutely did NOT dump Healy because of his racism. It felt like Swift was fighting with her team about it. Well, now the Sun - the outlet which broke the news of Swealy in the first place - claims that Healy and Swift are back in contact and probably back in a relationship. Superstar singer Taylor Swift has rekindled her romance with British rocker Matty Healy. Sources say the pair's surprise reunion comes after The 1975's frontman, 34, fired a female crew member from their touring party. Friends say Matty has sacked a female crew member from The 1975's touring team -- suggesting a potential issue between her and US superstar Taylor. A pal said of the couple, who also briefly dated early in their careers: "There is just something electric between them and they seem to have overcome it all quite quickly and decided they definitely want to make it work at all costs. They're arranging time together in between tour dates and talking all the time. He's utterly smitten and it seems to be mutual." "One thing that was pretty telling was when a girl who had worked with the band for a while -- she took care of their image, some styling, hair and make-up, that sort of thing -- suddenly left. It sounds as though there may have been a bit of an issue over her closeness to Matty. One thing is for sure, he isn't letting anything come between his chances of making it work with Taylor." [From The Sun] Yeah... I actually believe that the Swealy breakup wasn't even about romantic, racial or socio-political drama, it was about simple logistics of keeping up a relationship while they were both on tour this summer. Swift's people even left open the possibility of a reunion when they confirmed the breakup. So... it's even funnier that Swift's team ran to People Magazine with a denial of The Sun's story: Taylor Swift and Matty Healy are not giving romance another go. Despite a report that the Grammy winner and The 1975 frontman are back together, a source close to Swift tells PEOPLE the musicians are not dating again. "They are absolutely not together and aren't even in contact anymore. She is enjoying being single and has been spending time in the studio and hanging out with friends in New York City. This is all B.S.," says the Swift source. "It's complete nonsense," a source close to the British band adds. "Not true at all." Reps for Swift and The 1975 have not commented. [From People] I know a secret love affair when I see one. Again, the Sun broke the story of Swealy in the first place, just as the Sun broke the news (with exclusive photos) of Swift and Tom Hiddleston back in 2016. The Sun has some kind of "in" with Swift's team, so in this narrow situation, I kind of believe that the Sun might be more on-target here. I think the denial to People is an attempt to turn down the temperature on her controversial taste in racist incels. Photos courtesy of Backgrid.

However, I don't think many people, including myself, realized that this service counts towards a Scotland-specific coronation. It's amazing that the Scots understood yesterday what Charles was trying and protested against his royal arse. Big time. Republic held another massive demonstration, but unlike the Chubbly protest in May, this time the police did not shut it down. While protesters were chanting or holding signs, no arrests were made. Two people were arrested because they broke through the barriers. When Charles and Camilla arrived at St. Giles' Cathedral, the "Not My King' chants could be heard over the bagpipes and band playing. The crowd is booing and chanting "#NotMyKing" at the Charles Scotland procession. pic.twitter.com/E1H5FhPbS9 -- Mukhtar (@I_amMukhtar) July 5, 2023 Scotland is restless. I honestly feel that there will be Scexit within my lifetime. The Scottish public does not like Charles, his wife or heir. These photos are also atrocious - they make these four people look miserable. Hahahahaha. Avalon Red Cover Images provided the photos.

Michael Imperioli blasts the SCOTUS decision legalizing LGBTQ discrimination
Michael Imperioli blasts the SCOTUS decision legalizing LGBTQ discrimination
See this post on Instagram A post shared by @realmichaelimperioli The Supreme Court announced its ruling in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis on Friday. This case was based on a completely hypothetical scenario of a homophobic web designer/bigot who refused to design a wedding website for a homosexual couple. SCOTUS ruled, with a 6-3 vote, that every person and business has the right to discriminate in favor of LGBTQIA+ individuals under the banner "religion."

See this post on Instagram A post shared by @realmichaelimperioli The Supreme Court announced its ruling in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis on Friday. This case was based on a completely hypothetical scenario of a homophobic web designer/bigot who refused to design a wedding website for a homosexual couple. SCOTUS ruled, with a 6-3 vote, that every person and business has the right to discriminate in favor of LGBTQIA+ individuals under the banner "religion." For example, a Christian business owner can refuse to work for gay people. The next case would be that Christians should not have to work with Muslims, Hindus or Jews, either. It's acceptable for Christians to discriminate at any time. It's not just about gay rights and religion - I can see how this will quickly escalate - "Christians" refusing to treat women who want birth control, Plan-B and abortions. The case, as I stated, was hypothetical, or, to put it in another way, an outright lie. Colorado web designer, who brought her case before the Supreme Court, claimed that a homosexual man asked her to create a website for his gay marriage. The "gay" man who approached the woman in question is not gay, and he has never attempted to hire her. Lorie Smith, a homophobic bigot who fabricated everything, convinced the Supreme Court that she was right. The hyper-conservatives didn't wait for a "perfect test case" - they just blatantly lied in order to convince the SCOTUS that anti-discrimination and equal protection laws needed to be drastically altered. Michael Imperioli wrote this response to the news about the case on Instagram: I have decided to ban bigots, homophobes, and other hateful people from watching The Sopranos or The White Lotus or Goodfellas, or any film or television show that I was in. Supreme Court, thank you for allowing discrimination and excluding those I disagree with. USA! USA! [From Imperioli's IG] He is a good man. Avalon Red on Instagram.

Gal Gadot is trying to change the narrative that Cleopatra was just a seductress.
Gal Gadot is trying to change the narrative that Cleopatra was just a seductress.
I don't believe in superstition, but I do believe in some curses. I will never say The Scottish Play's name, especially not in a theatre. Someone said it in my acting classes and the electricity went out instantly. Just saying. Any movie project involving Cleopatra, I think, is cursed. I have good reasons to believe this. It is said that the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor film nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox. The production was also plagued by problems - they had to switch directors mid-way through and reshoot for months.

I don't believe in superstition, but I do believe in some curses. I will never say The Scottish Play's name, especially not in a theatre. Someone said it in my acting classes and the electricity went out instantly. Just saying. Any movie project involving Cleopatra, I think, is cursed. I have good reasons to believe this. It is said that the 1963 Elizabeth Taylor film nearly bankrupted 20th Century Fox. The production was also plagued by problems - they had to switch directors mid-way through and reshoot for months. The film also produced the Romance of The Century, which was Liz and Richard Burton’s torrid affair. In 2014, North Korea hacked the Sony database. Angelina Jolie wanted to work with David Fincher, the director of Cleopatra 2, with Angelina as Cleopatra. She was already attached to the project since years. She faced pushback from Sony's top brass about the direction that she wanted to go in, and producer Scott Rudin sent her some juvenile, snotty emails behind her back. We learned in 2017 that Denis Villeneuve was the director of this project, but we didn't know if Angelina still was involved. As far as I am aware, that Sony project is still stuck in development hell. Three years later, in 2020, Gal Gadot will be cast in another project under a new director. Kari Skogland is now attached to direct the project. She is a TV Director who has worked on shows like The Falcon, The Winter Soldier, and The Americans. IMDB states that it is in pre-production, but Gal Gadot answered questions about it when she spoke with Vogue Hong Kong for the promotion of her Netflix film Heart of Stone. She was asked how she prepared for the role and if Cleopatra differed from her other roles. She seems to want to focus on Cleopatra's political power and downplay her most famous attributes. This is similar to what Angelina Jolie also wanted to do. She prepared for the part by: Israel borders Egypt and I was raised with many stories about Cleopatra. She's a household name. Cleopatra is actually the real strong woman leader. Wonder Woman, on the other hand, is an imaginary one. This is a great example of the story I wanted to share because when I began reading about Cleopatra I thought, "Wow, this is fascinating." Cleopatra was always portrayed in films as a seductive woman with an affair with Julius Caesar or Marc Anthony. Truthfully, she's much more than that. She was way ahead of her times. Egypt, and what Egypt used to be back then was still futuristic compared to today. I don't have much to say. To me, it's a passion to tell this story, to do justice to the character and to celebrate her legacy. I can't wait to tell this story and change the perception of Cleopatra as a mere seductress. From Vogue Hong Kong Gal has a serious commitment to making Cleopatra an interesting character. She was much more than just a seductress. She was also a political strategist. But I don't think she has the acting skills. She was a good Wonder Woman, but she had to be uncomplicated. In my opinion, Wonder Woman and Superman share the same qualities. They are good, courageous and pure-hearted. They are not very nuanced. They are an antidote for a world that is becoming more and more complex, violent, and anxious. There's also probably some WWII/Cold War material in there based on the time period when these characters were created, but I don't know much about comics, Marvel or DC. Gal only had to play a character with a child-like, unyielding and simple sense of right and bad. I think that she did remarkably well. What about a queen that uses many strategies and tactics to keep her power, such as seduction? Miss Woman's life was chaotic and morally complex. She gathered political allies, but then ghosted them when they asked for military assistance, she fought wars with her brothers, p...

The Press Watchdog IPSO'sanctions' Jeremy Clarkson for his vile Sun article
Jeremy Clarkson published a horrifying column about Meghan, Duchess Sussex, in the Sun last December. Clarkson is an old disgusting man who has a violent and intense fixation on Meghan, similar to Piers Morgan. His Sun article was filled with vile, lurid images about Meghan being stripped and paraded in the street so that people could throw excrement on her. Clarkson wrote the column days after having a holiday meal with Camilla.

Jeremy Clarkson published a horrifying column about Meghan, Duchess Sussex, in the Sun last December. Clarkson is an old disgusting man who has a violent and intense fixation on Meghan, similar to Piers Morgan. His Sun article was filled with vile, lurid images about Meghan being stripped and paraded in the street so that people could throw excrement on her. Clarkson wrote the column days after having a holiday meal with Camilla. Camilla's Office had nothing to say and Buckingham Palace said absolutely nothing - neither did they condemn Clarkson nor show support for the mother two of the King's grandchildren. We learned later that Clarkson sent an apology to Harry on Christmas Day. There was a surprising amount of backlash surrounding the column. The Sun finally removed it from their online archives after widespread criticism of the tabloid. The Independent Press Standards Organisation, a vague clearinghouse that "regulates" UK print media, received thousands of complaints. IPSO has a reputation for being non-confrontational and toothless when it comes the hate speech and bile that is regularly published in British media. But this case was different - Clarkson’s column was too incendiary and there were too many people paying attention. IPSO gave Clarkson one of its biggest punishments: The Independent Press Standards Organisation, the U.K. media watchdog (IPSO), upheld two complaints from women's right charities regarding Jeremy Clarkson’s December column about Meghan Markle in The Sun. Variety has revealed that IPSO, after a lengthy process lasting months, found that the column of "Grand Tour's" host violated Clause 12 of its Editors' Code of Practice. This clause relates to the issue of discrimination. This is the first case in IPSO's nine-year history where a complaint was upheld on the basis sexism. The Sun was ordered to post a summary in place of Clarkson's regular column in its print edition and to reference the ruling on the front page as well as the homepage for the next 24 hours. This is something that the tabloid hadn't had to do since 2016 when it was determined that its "Queen Backs Brexit' splash on the front page violated press regulations. In an exclusive interview, IPSO CEO Charlotte Dewar said: "This is the strongest sanction we could impose on an individual complaint." It's not whether people are offended or dislike something; it's about whether the Editors' Code has been violated. We wanted to make it very clear what the complainants believed the article did in terms of violating the Editors' Code. Then, as fair procedure requires, we would get the publication’s response. IPSO received over 25,100 complaints about Clarkson's article from the British public. This is an astounding figure, which broke the record of the most complaints received by an organization for an article. Amazon Prime Video distanced itself from Clarkson after reading the column, despite the success of his U.K.-produced original series, "Clarkson's Farm". As revealed first by Variety, Amazon Prime Video will not commission new programs featuring the former "Top Gear' presenter. Clarkson may have questioned this decision on social media, but sources say that the relationship has ended. IPSO's ruling found that Clarkson made a "pejorative" and "prejudicial" comment about Markle's sexuality, which is in accordance with Clause 12. However, it did not uphold the other parts of the complaints that the article was inaccurate and harassed Markle, or included "discriminatory remarks to her on the basis of race". [From Variety] Variety's exclusive has more information about IPSO ruling. Although I am glad that something happened, and that Clarkson's vile column was acknowledged in some way, this response was mild more than six month after the offense. IPSO also...

After the Frogmore eviction Prince Harry is no longer a state counselor
After the Frogmore eviction Prince Harry is no longer a state counselor
Buckingham Palace confirmed this week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had formally vacated Frogmore Cottage, six months after King Charles "evicted" them out of spite when Prince Harry's memoir was published. The palace did not confirm whether or not Meghan and Harry were reimbursed for the $3 million-plus they put into the property, but the palace seemingly indicated that the Sovereign Grant got a good deal out of the eviction.

Buckingham Palace confirmed this week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had formally vacated Frogmore Cottage, six months after King Charles "evicted" them out of spite when Prince Harry's memoir was published. The palace did not confirm whether or not Meghan and Harry were reimbursed for the $3 million-plus they put into the property, but the palace seemingly indicated that the Sovereign Grant got a good deal out of the eviction. Well, now that Harry no longer has an official residence in the UK, wouldn't you know that he's no longer eligible to be a counsellor of state. While I think Charles evicted the Sussexes out of short-sighted spite, this was obviously a huge bonus as well. Prince Harry is set to lose a major royal role after being evicted from Frogmore cottage, an expert has revealed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex today returned their keys to King Charles -- six months after getting their eviction notice. Their remaining possessions at the pile were shipped to their California mansion just ahead of tomorrow's deadline. They will no longer have a UK home and may have to rely on hotels or friends if they visit. However, the fact that the couple have no British residence also means Harry will miss out on an important royal role. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun: "Losing their UK home without a replacement is a huge deal. The most important aspect as far as Harry is concerned is that it means he can no longer act as a counsellor of state. That's hugely important because in theory he had the right, in the event of the king being incapacitated, to do this. "Although he is no longer a working royal he still had this right - and by not having a UK residence he has now thrown this opportunity away. But of course it does seem that Harry, and Meghan, don't care at all about the UK. They have no interest in their popularity or taking on roles here - they just care about their US audience. But it means if they don't have a UK residence when William ascends to the throne then he will be unable to support his brother - not that he does that now." [From The Sun] "...And by not having a UK residence he has now thrown this opportunity away..." He literally paid an exorbitant amount of money to renovate a dilapidated shack and he was fully up to date on the lease when his father evicted him, his wife and their children from a perfectly secure home, a home which had been gifted to him by QEII. But sure, it's Harry's fault! While I'm sure Harry is probably hurt by this, it's all part and parcel of Charles's cruelty and the family's need to eradicate the Sussexes from the royal narrative. Except they can't - the Montecito royals are still THE story in the UK. Photos courtesy of Avalon Red, Cover Images.

I'm still reeling after the toxic breakup between Spotify and Sussex. The split was leaked to the Wall Street Journal by Spotify, which forced Archewell into a hasty confirmation. Spotify executives then ran a smear on the Sussexes, while saying nothing to their antivaxx golden Goose, Joe Rogan. Rogan also made a fool of himself in the same news cycle. It was a lot. Us Weekly reported that the Sussexes were bothered by "cheap photos" but have tons of other things in the pipeline. Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and their team are ready to move on after their Spotify deal failed -- but aren't happy with the way news of their departure from the platform was reported. A source reveals exclusively in the latest issue of Us Weekly that Spotify was supposed to make a statement about how wonderful it was to collaborate with Meghan. However, they did not. The team behind the scenes had "pushed Harry and Meghan to create more content for the past year." The insider claims that the royal couple did not "deliver" what Spotify required before the contract ended earlier this month. Us reports that the Suits alumna, 41, was informed "some time ago" of the cancellation of her podcast "Archetypes". Bill Simmons, a Spotify executive, called Meghan and Harry (both 38) "f-king swindlers" after the deal collapsed. The insider said, "It's like there are always assaults these days. People line up to take cheap shot at them." "Quite honestly, she and Harry have had enough." The second source says that despite their disappointing deal, the two have already set their sights on a brand new chapter. "There are a lot of exciting things coming up," she adds. "[They are] ready to return stronger." From Us Weekly Some have shared the theory that Spotify tried to strike a deal with Harry and Meghan, but they wanted out and wanted to negotiate a deal with Ari Emmanuel. It's possible that some or all of this is true. Spotify was acting just like your toxic ex, who went around saying that he dumped. I am also tired of people taking "cheap shot" at the Sussexes, and I wish that they would do more about this. I understand that they do not want to respond to every unhinged report, but in this case, Bill Simmons, an executive at Spotify, called them "f-king swindlers." They were well within their right to publicly and on record clap back. Backgrid is Spotify. Photos by Backgrid.

See this post on Instagram The Flash (@dctheflash), shared a post. The Flash's opening weekend was disappointing. It grossed only $55m domestically, despite a budget of $200m. In the second week after its release, The Flash has dropped even further. This movie, and Warner Brothers' parent company, is in a bad way these days. I was more than a bit Schadenfreude. They are on course to lose hundreds and millions of dollars. Was it better for the studio to release the film on "Just Max" instead of releasing the movie at all or releasing the movie after the second weekend? Come along with me to learn how bad this movie did on its second weekend. Thanks to Coming Soon. Warner Bros. may lose $200 million on The Flash at the end its box office run. The premiere of the new DC superhero film starring Ezra Miller in the role of Barry Allen/The Flash, and Michael Keaton in the role Bruce Wayne/Batman took place on Friday. It grossed a disappointing $55 million in its first weekend at the domestic box offices. Its second weekend saw a 72% drop to just $15.3 million. Some pundits have already predicted that this movie will be a bomb at the box office. Luiz Fernando estimates that the film will earn between $280 and 310 million worldwide during its theatrical run. The Flash has a $200-210 million budget for production, $150 million spent on marketing and studios do not take the entire box office revenue. This means that Warner Bros. may lose up to $200 million. Fernando thinks they would have lost less by releasing the film on Max, or even not releasing the movie at all. From Coming Soon As they say, we were all aware. I'll never understand why WB released this movie while canceling Batgirl. Ezra Miller has had a heinous behavior for years. David Zaslav's failure to see the signs of the times after Miller had been on a crime-spree for several months, resulting in felony burglary and restraining order charges... just goes to show what a bad manager Zaslav is. Just in case anyone was still unsure. Combination of fatigue from superheroes and the multiverse, as well as overexposure to the character (The Flash television show was on CW for years!) And a star with a serious problem? This is definitely box office poison. These jokers asked it the moment they put their bottom line above whatever crime their star committed. As a middle school band that I loved used to say, betting on a dead horse would be worse than beating it. Warner Brothers made the same mistake. What did they get when they bet on a sure-fire failure? The sunken cost fallacy can be very difficult to overcome psychologically. But if ever there was a time for cutting one's losses it would have been with this film. Leslie Grace is a beautiful young woman, according to all reports. Batgirl cost around $90 million, before marketing. I'm no math genius, however some quick calculations show that it would be much easier to earn back $90 million in box office revenue than $200 million from a disgraced celebrity.

Remember the months of chaos that ensued when a new Jeopardy presenter was needed? The drama began with extensive auditions. Then the producer chose himself. He was then fired. There were then more auditions. Finally, the hosts that were chosen were problematic. I eventually gave up on the drama. Sony Pictures Television wanted to avoid drama after Pat Sajak retired from Wheel of Fortune. I don't know if WoF producers held auditions or just gave the hosting duties to the first Sajak esque guy they found. Ryan Seacrest, the new Wheel host is also worth mentioning. Ryan Seacrest is the new host of the "Wheel of Fortune", succeeding Pat Sajak, who has been the host since 2024. Sony Pictures Television's selection of Mr. Seacrest as the star of "Wheel of Fortune" is a bet that the show will continue to thrive, even though traditional television is declining in the face of streaming entertainment. Sony's executives made their decision just two weeks after Sajak announced that he would be stepping down in the next year. They may also have been hoping to avoid a succession crisis that almost ruined "Jeopardy", another hit game show. In a press release, Mr. Seacrest stated that he was "truly humbled" to be following in the footsteps of Pat Sajak. "I'm excited to continue the tradition and work alongside Vanna White." The New York Times I was initially offended by this. Ryan Seacrest's smarmy nature makes me, and many women, uncomfortable. Then I remembered how much I hate Pat Sajak. Seacrest seems to be an "heir" of Sajak. Seacrest is likely to be a competent Wheel of Fortune host, and I hope that he does not try to push Vanna out of her position. Seacrest is on his way to becoming the next Dick Clark, with a huge television and radio empire. Avalon Red provided the photos.

Cardi B accuses Offset of cheating. Cardi B responds by saying 'don't listen' to Offset
Cardi B has been with Offset for many years, but it's been more on and off than Cardi is willing to admit. Offset cheated on Cardi in 2018 and 2019. Cardi tried to make it look like Offset had been "hacked" by DMing side chicks. In 2020, Cardi filed for divorce, and we were elated. Finally, we thought she was done with him. Two months later they were back together, and she retracted the divorce. In 2021, they welcomed their second son, Wave.

Cardi B has been with Offset for many years, but it's been more on and off than Cardi is willing to admit. Offset cheated on Cardi in 2018 and 2019. Cardi tried to make it look like Offset had been "hacked" by DMing side chicks. In 2020, Cardi filed for divorce, and we were elated. Finally, we thought she was done with him. Two months later they were back together, and she retracted the divorce. In 2021, they welcomed their second son, Wave. Cardi and Offset's marriage has been relatively quiet for some time... until Offset revealed on his Instagram Stories this week that Cardi had cheated ON HIM. Offset, suddenly cheating is bad? Cardi was not having it. Cardi B sets the record straight on Offset's claim she cheated him. Cardi B, 30, replied to her husband's now-deleted Instagram Story that said, "My wife f---ed a n--- on me, gang, yall don't know how I come." Cardi started a Twitter Space discussion by singing a part of Keyshia Cole’s "I should have cheated." "First, let me tell you that you cannot accuse me of everything you know you are guilty. Sing along with me! You are so quick to blame me for everything. Yes, honey!" Cardi warned listeners not to pay attention the Migos' member. "That motherf---er is spiraling around and thinking sh-t. Come on, you guys. I'm f--ing Cardi B n--. Sometimes I think motherf---ers forget that I'm Cardi. This p--- would be out if I gave it to anyone. I am not just anyone. No regular shmegular degular can f-- because they're gonna tell everyone. "I can't f--- anybody in the industry because they'll tell too." Stop acting stupid, please. She told Offset to stop acting stupid. "Going crazy over a f--ing Space. Do not play with me. What the f---? Stop playing. "That's all you're going to hear from me." [From People] LMAO – Cardi must be having a great time with the rumors. She is also fighting with Offset a ton. What triggered this? Who said what to who? Why is Offset so convinced that she cheated on him? Cardi B is a bad girl if she "reasons" for not sexting someone else are because no one will sell her out. She claims that she won't be sleeping with a "regular", because she'll get slandered, but she also can't have a relationship with anyone from the music industry, because they will gossip about her... So who is left in Cardi's world? Hm. Cardi is a typical cheating douche.

Addison Timlin divorced Jeremy Allen White last month. The couple was married for only three years but they have been together much longer. The couple also has two daughters. Addison posted about Mother's Day on Instagram shortly after filing and the news was released. She also referred to her as a single mother. Jeremy's source were silent at the time but are now speaking out after the release of the second season. The source claims that Jeremy was "blinded" when Addison referred to herself as a single mother. He also says that he is involved in the lives of his daughters and can't control where and when he films. Sources tell Page Six that "The Bear's" heartthrob Jeremy Allen White felt "blinded" by his estranged spouse Addison Timlin's post about being a "single mom". White, 32 years old, stars in the second season of the Hulu hit that debuted on Thursday. He won a Golden Globe award for the first season. He's dealing with the pain of his divorce behind the scenes. Timlin, a 31-year-old actress from "Californication", filed for divorce after just three years of marriage in May. She did not give any reason for the divorce. Friends claim that he did not cheat and suggest his Chicago filming schedule put pressure on their relationship. In an Instagram post for Mother's Day she described herself as a single mom, while describing the difficulties of raising her children without having a "witness by her side" and posting pictures of their young children. "Being a mom alone is not what I imagined." Timlin wrote: "It is so f****** hard." It is covered in s--- crying on the ground, kicking you in the shins and screaming without sound. She updated her caption hours later to read "Co-parenting is not what I pictured," as followers picked up quickly on her emotional message. One said: "There's a difference between a single mother and a mom who is single." In her divorce petition, Timlin requested primary physical custody for their daughters Ezer, 4 and Dolores (2 years old), and that the court award White visitation. Page Six has seen court documents that show White's response last week was to ask for joint custody. Sources who know the couple confirm that White was "blindsided by the Mother's Day Instagram post": "Addison altered her Instagram post because she felt it wasn't accurate. Many people were like, 'What're you talking about?' "Jeremy was not in control of where he filmed." He filmed "The Bear" in Chicago, and whenever he could he would come home. He loves his daughters and is very involved with their lives. From Page Six My initial reporting stated: "But her filing, which was done abruptly and without a joint statement... maybe there's more there." That Mother's Day article bolstered this theory. The post was not scorched earth, but it was passive-aggressive, and painted Jeremy as a bad absent father. Addison changed the term "single mother" to "coparent" later because people were offended by the idea that a wife of a working actress struggles just as much as a single mom. Others began to doubt Jeremy's involvement and support. It's obvious why he was offended by that, and it makes sense that his team is denying that. It's not a good look. Addison has requested primary physical custody for Jeremy and for him to have visitation, while Jeremy has asked for joint legal custody. It is clear that Jeremy wants to be involved. Jeremy's sources also explicitly deny the cheating rumors against his side. I guess that they were reading blind articles. It does appear that this could get more complicated than expected.

Cillian Murphy was featured in a recent Rolling Stone UK issue, mainly to promote Oppenheimer where he is the leading role. He's also promoting Irish film. Cillian Murphy is a producer and was interviewed at the Irish set for Small Things Like These (you can check out the Wiki page). Cillian, his wife and their children lived in London, but when his children started to speak with an English accent, they moved back to Ireland. They live a quiet and private life. Murphy discusses Catholicism, Ireland and Christopher Nolan in this article. This is a really great piece. Highlights: The story of Magdalene Laundries. "Every Irish person you speak to of a certain age has more or less a story. This is only in Irish people. What happened to the church is something we are still processing. "Art can help you with this. It can soothe your soul." Christopher Nolan on himself: "I'm a Chris Nolan Fan. When I first met him, I was a fan of Chris Nolan because I had watched Following, Memento and Insomnia. And I met for Batman Begins and I met on the basis that I was a fan. It feels ridiculous that I have been in six films. At the height his Peaky fame Murphy made time to appear as a shivering soldier with combat shock in Dunkirk, an unshowy, minor role. Murphy says, "I would always be there for Chris, no matter if I was just walking in the background holding a surfboard." I'm not sure which Chris Nolan film that would be. But I've always hoped to play the lead in a Chris Nolan film. What actor would not want to do that?" Joanne Woodward once said that acting was like sex. You should just do it, and don't talk about it. On set, with a great director, you don't talk much about the work. Talk about what you are going to do. You can prepare a great deal, but a lot happens in real time. "There is really no point in intellectualising anything." About Catholicism and religion: "My family was not particularly religious but I received my education from a religious order. Irish schools were almost entirely controlled by the Catholic Church and are still to a great extent. I went to the church, and received communion, confirmation, and all that. I don't mind people believing what they want. But I don't like it being imposed. It's harmful when it is imposed. This is where I take issue. There are good things about institutionalised religious institutions, and I'm not going to bash them. "But when it's twisted, f-ked up, as it was in our country and imposed on the nation, then that's a problem." "I played a scientist in Sunshine [Danny Boyle’s 2007 sci-fi film], which was directed by Danny Boyle. I spent time with [the scientist] Brian Cox. He was a brilliant educator. I will never have the intellect -- few of us are capable -- but I enjoyed listening. I loved being with these insanely smart men and women, and having dinner and talking about the usual stuff. The world is about to collide. "It would be a horrible way to cut the grass or buy milk, I'd say." We are moving back to Ireland. "We spent 14 years in London. As you get older and have children, I think living in a big city becomes less exciting. We're also both Irish. We wanted our children to be Irish. It's the best thing we did. They are really good boys. We laugh. They like my films, even though we don't have a 'Dad's Movie Night'. "They say that all of my films are very intense." Fame is a fleeting thing. No one cares about me. I'm here every day. I go shopping. It disappears. If... one of those guys from Succession came in here, I would be all shaky and intimidated. It's strange when you meet someone who you have invested in or think is incredible. ..." He does not play the fame game. "I do not really participate." I don't like to go out. I spend most of my time at home or with friends, unless I am promoti...

Prince Harry failed to make a podcast pitch about fatherhood and childhood trauma
Prince Harry failed to make a podcast pitch about fatherhood and childhood trauma
Does it follow, then, that Michael Bloomberg's media empire will also support the Windsors? I'm beginning to wonder. Ashley Carman, Bloomberg's technology columnist/reporter has an exclusive on (what else?) the end of Duke and Duchess's Spotify agreement. Carman asked the same question I did: Why didn't Prince Harry produce a podcast at all? All week, people have been screamed at about how Meghan "only produced" one season of a successful podcast. They ignore the fact that Harry did nothing except for this one Christmas pod. We heard from industry sources that Harry, Meghan and their team pitched ideas to Spotify...
Does it follow, then, that Michael Bloomberg's media empire will also support the Windsors? I'm beginning to wonder. Ashley Carman, Bloomberg's technology columnist/reporter has an exclusive on (what else?) the end of Duke and Duchess's Spotify agreement. Carman asked the same question I did: Why didn't Prince Harry produce a podcast at all? All week, people have been screamed at about how Meghan "only produced" one season of a successful podcast. They ignore the fact that Harry did nothing except for this one Christmas pod. We heard from industry sources that Harry, Meghan and their team pitched ideas to Spotify but they were rejected. Bill Simmons, a Spotify executive, called Harry and Meghan "f-king swindlers" and claimed that they had a meeting or call with Harry that went badly. Ashley Carman, a Bloomberg reporter, tried to find out what Harry had to say: What happened to the Harry show that was rumored? I asked people who knew the situation what ideas Harry floated, and why they never came to fruition. The people requested anonymity as they were not authorized to talk about the prince's work. Spotify and Archewell Audio declined to comment. Harry met with several producers and production companies, said these people, to discuss potential shows. Harry was open to other people's ideas, but he stayed true to his own. One of these was about childhood trauma. Harry would interview a series of controversial guests such as Vladimir Putin and Mark Zuckerberg about their formative years, and how they became the adults that they are today. Harry had also a great idea for a series centered around fatherhood, according to the people. One would have dealt with major social issues episode by episode - from climate change and religion to other topics. Harry wanted Pope Francis to be a guest on the second show. Some people within the Harry-podcast universe questioned the practicality of the ideas, as people like Putin or Zuckerberg seldom give extensive interviews on the topics that they are passionate about -- much less about their childhoods and upbringings. Harry never produced a podcast. The fact that it took nearly three years to record a show and come up with a good idea speaks volumes about the content driven by celebrities. Movie stars and other people who usually travel around the globe from project to project were left with less work. They were stuck at home, with lots of free time. For a time, many celebrities signed podcast deals, even if their idea wasn't concrete enough to be turned into a show. There were exceptions, like the SmartLess team, whose podcast is now a Max special. They also expected the same jumbo salaries that used to be reserved for films, commercials, and Las Vegas clubs appearances. This was not typical of the podcasting economy. [From Bloomberg] A pitch meeting has the advantage of bringing in big-name speakers to get people interested in your concept. A podcast where Harry interviews men on childhood trauma would be interesting, novel and perhaps groundbreaking. I'd imagine that it would be difficult to sell. That is why Harry, or "someone", started mentioning names of men who are well-known. If Harry wanted to interview Donald Trump, or Vladimir Putin I would eat my f****** hat. Please. Harry probably didn't want to be associated with Trump after what he said about Harry and his wife. Harry's pitches were lacking, to be honest. A podcast on fatherhood or a pod that focused each episode on "big issues" would have been great. Bloomberg sources claim that Harry didn't produce a podcast because he wanted pods to be about fatherhood, trauma, religion, and environmentalism. GASP! ! Backgrid is the source of these photos.

Kevin Costner informed his children about the divorce via a Zoom call made from Las Vegas
Kevin Costner informed his children about the divorce via a Zoom call made from Las Vegas
Christine Baumgartner filed for divorce with Kevin Costner after a thorough preparation. She did not do this on a whim. She had been married to Costner for 19 years and spent 24 years together. She had a plan, hired a divorce attorney and a forensic accounting expert, and together with her lawyer, they clearly have a strategy to nullify or revoke the prenup that she signed.

Christine Baumgartner filed for divorce with Kevin Costner after a thorough preparation. She did not do this on a whim. She had been married to Costner for 19 years and spent 24 years together. She had a plan, hired a divorce attorney and a forensic accounting expert, and together with her lawyer, they clearly have a strategy to nullify or revoke the prenup that she signed. Christine had prepared herself, but she hadn't yet told her children. She now claims that Costner told their children about the divorce over Zoom even though she had asked him to come to her home to talk to them in person. Christine Costner, Kevin Costner's ex-wife, is not happy with the way their three children learned about their divorce. Christine, 49, claims in a court document obtained by PEOPLE that Kevin Costner, 68 told their children Grace, 13, Hayes 14, and Cayden 16, in a Zoom call during filming in Las Vegas. "I was worried that the children would learn about our divorce before Kevin or I could tell them," Christine says in the documents. Christine claims in court documents that it was important to her that she and Kevin tell their children together. Christine shared with Kevin her concern that the kids might hear the news from an "outside" source. She also shared "several articles on the importance of speaking to children as one united front," and thought they would do it together. "He ignored my proposal that I do what felt right to me based on my research and relationship with my children. He insisted he was entitled to inform them 'first' that we were divorcing and that it could be done privately "without me being present". She continues her allegations. Kevin, after a 24 year relationship, told our children over a Zoom call of 10 minutes that we were divorcing. I was not present. I'm still puzzled by the motivation behind his decision to make this announcement via a Zoom call, particularly since he planned on returning home in five days. He could also have come home to Las Vegas and had the conversation personally." Sources close to Kevin note that Christine filed for divorce during Kevin's filming. Source: "He FaceTimes with his kids all the time when he's away on location." [From People] She was prepared, did research and was ready to tell her children. Costner ignored her request, and I would assume made it sound like Christine was at fault when he talked to the kids. Christine was the primary caregiver for those children and a stay-at home parent all their lives. Costner, who is at best a parent who is habitually absent, spends ten minutes Zooming around with his kids from a location shoot. Kevin Costner, you are such a jerk. Avalon Red provided the photos.
