Glad you posted - I totally forgot the $cieno connection. Not sure why - but I don't pay a ton of attention to the Presleys. OK, now that makes more sense. Did you enjoy Jerrod Carmicheal's joke about Tom Cruise & Shelly Miscavige at the Golden Globes - I thought it was good 🙂

WTF? I really hate fakey these days.....(not that I ever "liked" but they just seem so nasty now)

Princess Eugenie & husband Jack Brooksbank expecting baby #2 this summer. (I thought she looked a little "full" in her winter coats in the last couple family photos I saw and I had thoughts, BUT no "baby bump" comments from me 😉

But ugh I hate Uncle Karl so much. Such a bigoted asshole. Nor do I like most of his design. The "theme" should be easy, at least.

I think regulations should change; I think air guns (NO REAL GUNS) should be used on sets, but cost is a huge factor. I do not think actors should be liable. I think Baldwin - as a producer who was severely cutting costs and impacting safety on set - should be charged. But not actors. I support SAG-AFTRA getting involved (rewriting contracts on this topic?) to limit liability.

I grew up (in the US) learning that couples did NOT sit next to each other at dinner parties, weddings, galas etc. That's the WASPy way. We didn't have a formal wedding (we had a seated dinner but not assigned tables) but if we HAD done formal, I definitely would not have seated couples next to each other. You see that person all the time - talk to NEW people so when you go home, you and your partner can swap gossip! So I actually think that is a class difference, not a country difference. Or at least class + geography..... That said - you still seat couples at the SAME TABLE. So Kate not being at the same table is still a problem at that 2005 party....And also the story Kate changed the seats at someone ELSE'S wedding? Yikes. That's a trope from a movie, SO disrespectful. "Etiquette" is about making people feel comfortable, NOT about making yourself feel superior.

Have watched 3 of the interviews so far (not Bradby yet - I don't think my VPN will allow streaming, I don't have the data speed for it) I really enjoyed the Colbert interview.

2005 - was William's 21st birthday, yes? Natives & colonial theme (urgh) and Will *says* he was a lion but it has definitely been reported he went as a "chief" in blackface. I've also read that Will was seated next to (ex) Jecca Craig at the head table while Kate was seated elsewhere....(and the CB crowd going on various conspiracy theories that Craig's first kid is Will's and that's why he went to her wedding alone and missed Charlotte's first easter etc)

I will buy it, but currently am thinking I'll try to get at Costco (it's not on their website, but was in the magazine last month so am hoping it will be in the store). Otherwise, I'll try to get it online at the library, not sure if they'll get it though. But yes, I will read it. I read the excerpts in the news, but want to read it in context as that helps me figure out intent a little better....

Baba Wawa (Barbara Walters) age 93. Pope Benedict, age 95

BOY does Suri look like a copy of Katie! Still not sure who her father is, but no doubt who mom is! I love that her genes are so dominant (at least at this age - Suri could change as she ages)

She was always so try hard - not sure what happened, whose advice finally got through, but I think Lea Michele has handled this extremely well. It was very messy, but she's triumphed - and she leaned in to the twitter jokes etc. Instead of getting all pissy about it. Which I appreciate.

I shouldn't be surprised - they were quite generous with the "airbrushing" for ERII as well. But damn - did they take the pics from his 40th birthday? 😂 I just made sugarplums (for a solstice bonfire tonight at a neighbor's house) and watched Harry & Meghan episode 1. I like it. I love seeing all the photos & video from their personal collection. For nothing else (I am a gossip voyeuse, after all 😉) it's worth it! It's probably a little much, but I understand their rationale for how & why they did it this way.

Meh, all couples have ups and downs - that "interview" doesn't actually say anything.

She was on Today this week - I thought the injections have relaxed a little, but her lips still looked a little overplump. Honestly not bad for Hollywood, so I guess I'm jaded at this point....I think in movement/on air vs a still photo, she still looks like herself....
