Camilla Banned From Princess Diana Memorial Service

That’s what some loyal Princess Diana fans would like people to think, but according to British newspapers, Prince Charles’s wife Camilla voluntarily decided to sit out Friday’s memorial service for the late Princess of Wales. Palace officials say Diana’s sons, Prince William and Prince Harry – who will lead the service, marking the 10-year anniversary of her death – extended an invitation to Camilla, and she had initially accepted. But once British newspaper columnists learned that the Duchess of Cornwall, had accepted the invitation from Charles and his sons, they unleashed a litany of postings urging her not to attend … Continue reading →

Concert For Diana—What I Missed… What Did I Miss?

Who knew I would one day rue the day I didn’t have VH1? Our cable company doesn’t offer the music channel so I didn’t get to see Prince William and Prince Harry’s musical tribute to their mother in its entirety (Concert for Diana aired live on VH1 this morning). Instead, I was forced to settle for NBC’s extremely edited down one-hour version (which in my opinion was a joke) that aired tonight in primetime. After watching the mega-hyped “Concert for Diana” on NBC I felt gypped. First of all, Matt Lauer’s “Dateline NBC” interview with the princes, which aired last … Continue reading →

Royal Weddings: Now and Then

It was almost 30 years ago, but I still remember it vividly. It started on July 28th because I stayed up all night for the event of the decade – Prince Charles’ wedding to Lady Diana Spencer. This young, beautiful, innocent, barely out of her teens girl seemed to carry the future of a whole country on her back. We were close in age – actually, I was two years younger, but everyone I knew admired her, even though we had nothing in common with her. After all, she was marrying a prince and I was lying in the pallet … Continue reading →

Andrew Lloyd Webber Diagnosed with Cancer and Morrissey Collapses

It has been a tough week for a few celebrities. Musical legend Andrew Lloyd Webber was diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier this week. A spokesman for Lloyd Webber released a statement that said he “is suffering from the early stages of prostate cancer.” It went on to say he is “undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year.” Right now, Lloyd Webber, known for such Broadway hits as “Cats,” “Evita,” and “Jesus Christ Superstar,” is currently working on a sequel to his “Phantom of the Opera” blockbuster titled “Lover Never Dies.” The … Continue reading →

Prince Harry Preps for Trip to U.S. and “Survivor” Winner Preps for More Chemo

Prince Harry is prepping to horse around in the Big Apple this weekend. Only his plans don’t include his on-again, off-again girlfriend Chelsy Davy. Rather, the youngest son of the late Princess Diana will be hitting the polo field for a fundraising event for his Sentebale charity for African children. The polo game marks Prince Harry’s first-ever formal visit to the United States. While in America the royal spare will participate in the second annual Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic on New York’s historic Governors Island. The match will pit the 24-year-old prince against polo hottie Nacho Figueras. Despite the … Continue reading →

Harry the Humanitarian

If Prince Harry had his way he would leave his royal life behind in England and move to Africa to help needy children there. The 23-year-old prince made the statement to reporters as he continued his month-long humanitarian mission in the impoverished African kingdom of Lesotho. The British royal solider is in the region trying to balance his army life and his charity work. For the next couple of weeks the handsome royal will work with Sentebale – the charity he and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso founded in the memory of Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana. Four years ago Harry spent … Continue reading →

Prince Harry Fighting the Taliban

So much for keeping it a secret mission. Prince Harry has spent the last 10 weeks on the frontline in Afghanistan serving his country alongside his fellow soldiers. Only the world was not supposed to know about it. Of course, he is the son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, so it should come as no surprise that someone let out that the 23-year-old second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals regiment of the Household Cavalry had finally gotten his wish to join his fellow British countrymen in the war-torn country. According to news reports, Harry arrived in … Continue reading →

Prince Harry Gets Dumped

Who dumps a prince anyway? Prince Harry may finally be getting a taste of what it’s like to have girl troubles. (Must run in the family.) British newspapers are reporting that Harry and his girlfriend of more than three years, Chelsy Davy have broken up. The News of the World is saying that the 22-year-old stunning blonde ended the romance in a series of tearful phone calls, telling Harry: “It’s over.” Sources say Davy grew tired of the prince’s playboy lifestyle and his “total lack of commitment.” You know, I did think it was strange that Harry attended the rugby … Continue reading →

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 →

‘Heroes’ Love and Mistrial for Spector

“Heroes” cuties Hayden Panettiere and Milo Ventimiglia have denied a romance, but the rumors certainly have been circulating that these two have a little something something going on between them. Both have strongly denied a love connection between the just turned 18 actress and the 30 year old actor. Even co-star James Kyson Lee, who plays Ando on the hit show, has said, “the rumor is not true.” So what started all this talk of amour? There is a video that some clown obviously took on his cell phone that shows the two – gasp – dancing and even at … Continue reading →
