Can The Royals Finally Stop Running?

The British press is reporting that Prince William recently whisked girlfriend Kate Middleton to the scene of some of their first dates–the Highlands of Scotland. William and Kate are reportedly staying at Queen Elizabeth’s Balmoral estate where they are said to be engaging in their favorite field sports. It’s not earth-shattering news, but there are two points that intrigued me about the story. First, the young couple reportedly flew from London to Scotland on a British Airways flight and did not accept any special treatment. Which meant they were offered the same in-flight snack as all the other passengers–a choice … Continue reading →

Faith Renounced: The “Royal” Price of Marriage

Yesterday Windsor Castle was the setting of a royal marriage. Queen Elizabeth II’s oldest grandson, Peter Phillips, married Canadian Autumn Kelly. From what I can tell, Peter’s one of the lower profile royals. (Meaning, he keeps a low profile by choice.) In fact, he did not immediately reveal to Autumn that he even was a royal.

She still believes in God, of course, but she was Roman Catholic. She … Continue reading →

The News of the World is reporting that William successfully maneuvered his helicopter in a field behind gal pal Kate Middleton’s parent’s home while she and her folks looked on. According to reports, the prince was only on the … Continue reading →

Celebrity Weekend Wrap

How did Madonna celebrate signing a new $120 million recording and touring contract with Live Nation? By sharing her new wealth with her aging daughter. Okay, the Material Girl’s daughter Lourdes is only 11, but the mother-daughter duo plus one (Lourdes’ best friend) reportedly dropped a ton of dough this weekend at a luxurious hotel in Santa Monica. According to news reports, the pop superstar pampered her daughter (and her pal) with a 6-hour spa treatment to celebrate the tween’s birthday.
