Wait- is the casting couch supposed to be Wintour as well as the first one, the magazine? I have a hard time reconciling those details with the way Anna works...

I'm not sure I could make it through. Last year, I read Jennette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died and wow, barely made it through that (which is both more broad AND more narrow than the Quiet on the Set documentary, of course, though linked). I've also heard it's extremely well done, so I'll probably try sometime.

Kate releases a video (FINALLY) announcing she has cancer: I wish her all the best for a quick recovery. But oh my how KP has screwed this up over the past few weeks.

Yep, at this point (65 days since she was seen?) there is SOMETHING going on - either she refuses or she absolutely cannot be seen. I don't know what I believe right now. But I don't believe she had a normal surgery with recovery - I think there's a mental health component, a legal component (did Will hurt her? Or is she negotiating her divorce?) etc....

Fuck cancer. But also, imagine Kris Kristofferson waiting to spit on his grave. (if you don't know, look up what Kristofferson had to say about good ole Toby - never fails to make me laugh). And, well, I'm a Chicks fan, so I'm not losing sleep tonight.

The gossip on twitter (and celeb*tchy) is getting unhinged. Intimate partner violence, coma, possibly died yesterday at Sandringham (many british media wore black and had been crying - but not about Charles/cancer, about Kate dying?) Harry coming to UK not about Charles/cancer but about being regent for George as William won't take throne if/when Charles dies. I mean, I love to read a good conspiracy theory too, but yikes.

Lots on celeb*tchy seem to think bowel resection

And today, Piers Morgan announced (on air?) that it was Charles AND Kate....

I think Travolta and Kelly had a MUCH better relationship than Will & Jada, even if John is gay or bi. They seemed to LOVE each other, even if I didn't see them as having a great sex life. Not everyone needs or wants that, who knows. I'm feeling more ok about the Travolta marriage. But then, I always thought they loved each other. I have never had the same loving feeling about Jada & Will. I think their relationship has always been more transactional.

Her memoir out soon, on Today show, admitting they "divorced' all but legally in 2016.

Yeah, that one made me sad. Also saw that Costner's (awful, terrible, no good asshole) divorce was settled. I've been on vacation so catching up on all the gossip....I was in England so all I heard about was fucking Russell Brand. Or should I say, "assaulting" Russell Brand.....

Charlie Robison has died, age 59, cardiac arrest and other issues 😞 https://countrynow.com/charlie-robison-renowned-texas-country-artist-dies-at-age-59/ As his sister recommends, gonna intersperse some of Charlie's music with my ongoing Jimmy Buffett In Memoriam playlist.....

My corrupting uncle introduced me to Jimmy Buffett music in 1985, took me to my first Buffett concert in 1988. His death (4 year battle with Merkel cell carcinoma, rare skin cancer) hit me hard. I had a LOT of family and friends text me over the weekend to see how I was doing, which is funny (I introduced Buffett's music to all my friends, took so many people to their first concerts) Listened to a lot of Buffett music this weekend, happy I got to enjoy the music for so long. 💗💔

Serena had #2! And apparently so did Rihanna. https://apnews.com/article/serena-williams-baby

Looks like everyone enjoyed the holiday season - HOW MANY pregnancies have been announced this week? Are we up to 5?

You're clearly not GenX 😉 We're all in our feels about Sinead. (with a performance name like "Sinead O'Connor, you didn't know she was from Ireland??? Never heard her speak, didn't see her on SNL in 1992? OK....)

Ok, to be fair, there are more remembrances of the queen as I read the magazine. But still 😁😒

I'm still massively behind on magazines (the first 6-8 months of the pandemic, I just....couldn't read) Nov 22 Vogue, Anna Wintour's letter from the editor - 1 paragraph about the queen dying. 5 paragraphs about Roger Federer retiring from tennis 😆Never stop being who you are, Anna!!

Yeah, Lainey had a piece on it today - saying she got paid, she didn't have to go to set, AND Patricia Field dressed her (and she is NOT costuming this series!). She also notes that SJP would have had to approve this decision, and she did because she's mature and it's what is best for the show. I didn't watch the first season, still not compelled to - the reviews weren't the best.... https://www.laineygossip.com/in-shocking-twist-kim-cattrall-will-appear-in-and-just-like-that-after-filming-on-her-terms/74173

Danny Masterson convicted of 2/3 rapes of which he was accused. About fucking time. gifted WaPo article https://wapo.st/3qqsOHJ

But wait, I came here because I just saw KCIII is breaking tradition and inviting monarchs to his coronation!! King Philippe & Queen Mathilde of Belgium announced to have received invitations (no response from them yet 😉

He looks like a bulldog to me, so for me it's face. Different strokes for different folks! (I will say - he's not the best example of bald - my husband and my boss are extremely attractive bald men with lovely faces & head shapes). Harry's hair is VERY thin now, but he doesn't have the jowly hanoverian face. Again like Philip - he'll probably go angular and hawkish instead of jowly and bulldogy 🙂

Yes, William in prep school and college looked on a VERY different trajectory than where he is now.

I think Harry is really starting to age like his grandfather, Prince Phillip, aged. The photos where his mouth is pursed or in an "O" shape especially - that's Phillip's mouth! Which is to say, one of the more attractive sides of the family in terms of aging. Charles is so-so - William I don't think is aging as well as either his father or his brother. He's got more of the heavy Windsor/Hanover face. (the balding has NEVER bothered me - my husband has been shaving his head almost since we met, at my encouragement). https://www.celebitchy.com/810302/prince_harry_took_notes_in_a_small_black_notebook_while_anls_lawyer_spoke/

It's 2023 and people are STILL using the excuse "treated for exhaustion" - Charlene had ONE YEAR in South Africa away from her family but as soon as she returned to Monaco, she had to go off (for another 6 months? Can't remember but it was a while) to Switzerland for MORE treatment?
