This week has proved to be an eventful time for the British royal family. Yesterday, a media outlet reported that King Charles III is set to confer the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to his eldest son, Prince William. The announcement was made via Buckingham Palace.

According to reports, the official date for the role transfer is set for May 13 and will take place at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop.

“In August 2023, following His Majesty’s Accession, the King was pleased to announce military appointments including that the Prince of Wales would become Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. The role was previously held by His Majesty the King, as Prince of Wales, for 31 years,” discloses the Palace’s message.

News of the King bestowing the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to Prince William comes amid the Duke of Sussex’s recent trip to the U.K., which has raised eyebrows in public spheres.

Creating further intrigue is the fact that though Prince William is stepping into the role for the first time, the role itself is not new as it used to belong to his younger brother, Prince Harry.

The Duke of Sussex’s affiliation with the Armed Forces runs deep. Aside from previously holding the title, Prince Harry worked in the Armed Forces for ten years, serving two Afghanistan duty tours with the British Army before ending his operational duties in 2015. In addition to Prince Harry, other members of the royal family “have official relationships with many units of the Forces.”

The official website for the King and Queen of England states that the royal family pays soldiers, airmen, and sailors, who serve both at home and abroad, “regular visits.” They have long recognized and supported “the work of the Armed Services.”

Drawing back to Prince William’s new title bestowment, the timing of the news has caused speculation. Public conjecture has been swirling based on the fact that it is widely known that Prince Harry and his father’s relationship has been tense in recent years.

“This is one of the most public rifts in the world. If it was handled in private without so much press speculation, it would have a better chance of being resolved,” asserted royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams while speaking about Prince Harry and King Charles III.

The rift between the father and son runs so deep that even though Prince Harry is currently back in the U.K., a meeting between him and the King of England will not take place. This has sparked heated responses from the public.

“In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not The Duke will meet with his father while in the U.K. this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program,” announced a spokesperson for Prince Harry.

The statement went on to explain, “The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” According to a media outlet, King Charles III has a busy schedule because he recently returned to his public royal duties.

Since working behind the scenes amid his cancer diagnosis and treatment, King Charles III held an audience at Buckingham Palace yesterday, where the Prime Minister of Fiji, Sitiveni Rabuka, was welcomed. Further occupying the King’s time is the premiere garden party of the season, which is set to take place at Buckingham Palace today (May 8).

Like his father, Prince Harry is also booked and busy. His time in the UK has been spent on the Invictus Games’ anniversary which kicked off with a panel yesterday. Today, St. Paul’s Cathedral will host a service where Prince Harry is expected to give a reading.

The public has reacted with shock and outrage to the news that Prince Harry and King Charles III will not see each other during this time, with many people expressing disappointment in the King. “That’s absolutely unforgivable, that a Dad can’t prioritize his son. King or not!!!” chastised a social media user.

Similarly, someone else expressed, “Harry deserves better. Shame on #KingCharles. He treated #PrincessDiana terrible as well. #TheWholeWorldIsWatching.” “Shameful… but Prince Harry can sleep well at night. He has reached out numerous times,” commented another.

Continuing to highlight the tumultuous nature of the late Princess Diana’s relationship with King Charles III, another user noted, “Charles is who Diana said he was 🙃.” Another King Charles III critic called him “petty.”

A Facebooker wrote, “As a parent I can’t imagine not being able to pencil my child into my schedule.” “I can’t imagine anything more important than getting to spend some time with a child that you really don’t see very often,” added another.

Someone else who felt particularly strongly about the matter stated, “Sadly, his father chooses his position over his family. His father has made it very clear where his love is. If he really wanted to see his son he would and could. This whole situation clearly shows that it is all about him and his ‘control over others.’”

Although King Charles III may not currently have the best relationship with his youngest son, with the recent news of Prince William receiving a new title from him, it would appear as though he remains in good standing with his eldest.

Furthermore, he also reportedly shares a great relationship with his daughter-in-law Princess Catherine. Like Prince William, the King had also conferred a new title on the Princess, which we previously reported on April 24, 2024.

On April 23, King Charles III announced that the Princess of Wales would become the Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour. This was the first appointment for any royal.

This prestigious appointment places her among an elite group recognized for their significant contributions across various fields, including the arts, sciences, and public service.

The Order of the Companions of Honour was established by King George V in 1917. It is an exclusive society limited to 65 members at any given time. However, additional honorary members from outside the Commonwealth are allowed.

Notable figures among its ranks include Sir Elton John, Sir David Attenborough, Anna Wintour, Dame Maggie Smith, and Dame Judi Dench.

The announcement of Princess Catherine’s new role raised eyebrows. It prompted a flurry of online comments expressing confusion and concern. Thoughts from the online community ranged from skeptical to supportive.

“Definitely a distraction as to what is really happening but okay,” one comment read, hinting at underlying royal dynamics. “But where is she?” asked another, highlighting the Princess’s noticeable absence from public engagements. “A Royal Companion never heard of that role,” a person noted.

“She still hasn’t been seen in public since Dec 25th, and no one seems concerned with this at all?” another person expressed. “I hope she is getting better,” a Facebook user shared. “Ermm what kind of title is that?” questioned another, puzzled over the significance of the new title.

It’s clear that while the honor is significant, it also casts a spotlight on Princess Catherine’s recent low profile. This has stirred public curiosity and concern about her well-being and the circumstances surrounding her new royal duties.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s “love story” has received plenty of attention from fans and media as the star tight end’s Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, February 11.

However, not everyone has been happy with the exposure their relationship has gotten, with some claiming that it has overshadowed the actual in-game coverage. So at her most recent concert on Saturday, another Grammy-winning singer Adele made it clear where she lay in the debate:

“I think I want the Chiefs to win just because Taylor Swift goes for them….and all of you complaining about Taylor being at the game, get a (censored) life. She’s actually made it a bit more enjoyable to watch.”

Will Taylor Swift attend Super Bowl LVIII? Chiefs heiress provides massive update

The question that lingers in many fans’ minds is whether Taylor Swift will actually make it to Allegiant Stadium on time for Super Bowl LVIII. Fortunately for her fans, during Fanatics’ Super Bowl party, Gracie Hunt, daughter of Chiefs CEO Lamar Hunt, said:

“She’s coming! She’s coming! We’re excited.”

This appears to have been corroborated by an X/Twitter update from aviation journalist Jason Rabinowitz, who revealed that the pop star had landed at Los Angeles International Airport at around 3:30 PM Pacific Time Saturday:

Should the Chiefs win, there will be an afterparty; but Hunt refused to elaborate on whether it would involve Swift, who will then fly to Australia to continue the Eras Tour in Melbourne and Sydney.

Nevertheless, she highly appreciates the multi-platinum singer’s impact on the NFL as a whole:

Gracie Hunt said:

“I’ve loved watching women and girls fall in love with football. I’ve grown up loving the sport my entire life, and Taylor has had such a huge impact with her presence at Chiefs games. It’s so fun to have her now as a part of Chiefs Kingdom.”

She added:

“But also just to see the young girls in the stands with their signs because they know that [Swift] is now loving the game, so they’re loving it, too. Previously, about 49% of the NFL fan base was women, and that number is growing rapidly. So we’re super excited for all the new Swifties to be a part of this game.”

Super Bowl LVIII will mark the 13th NFL game Swift has attended. The Chiefs are currently 9-3 with her in the stands.

It can’t be easy growing up in the intense spotlight that comes with having two well-known Hollywood actors for parents.

To put it mildly, the lives of Dylan Michael and Carys Zeta Douglas, the children of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, have been fascinating. Sure, you’ll probably never need anything, and there are far worse places to be born into, but their lives have been quite exciting.

The media has been fascinated by Dylan and Carys’ development, with many people speculating on whether or not they would follow in the footsteps of their famous parents and become famous.

At least for Carys, it appears that we have found a solution.

Zeta-Jones has stated openly that she would like her children to follow in her footsteps or at least try.

“When they’re on stage, you want to look at them,” the 49-year-old told us in an interview. They’re also interested in the craft. My son wishes to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in the theater. My daughter wanted to be a pediatrician until she was five when she decided acting was more fun.”

Many people are interested in seeing how both children grow because they want to follow in their parent’s footsteps. Consider the recent buzz surrounding Carys, who has attracted attention for the apparent reason that she is becoming more and more like her mother with each passing day.

The child made her runway debut the previous season at New York Fashion Week, and the event received much media attention.

She has kept a low profile since then, which is understandable given that she is only 15 years old. Still, this week, after accompanying her mother to another fashion event, the radio silence was broken.

Carys and Catherine stole the show at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda women’s couture event held at the New York Metropolitan Opera House. Mother and daughter arrived in matching outfits and posed for several photos that attest to their resemblance.

Carys is unquestionably maturing into a stunning woman in the mold of her mother. She also appears to have a pleasant demeanor to match!

There’s a reason Jeff Bridges is regarded as one of Hollywood’s most beloved and respected actors.

He has not only kept his relevance in a competitive, ever-changing industry, but he has also kept his principles intact.

If you’re a Bridges fan, you’re probably well aware of his recent battle with cancer, from which he thankfully survived, but there’s a lot more to his tale that you may not be aware of.

Bridges’ love story seemed to have been plucked from a Hollywood script. And it all started with a series of unplanned events that occurred many years ago while he was filming a movie in Paradise Valley, Montana.

According to stories, Jeff and his wife of many years, Susan Geston, met while she was working as a waitress. He noticed something special about her right away.

The actor was filming “Rancho Deluxe” when he first spotted Susan. (1975). Geston worked as a server in Chico Hot Springs when the film crew shot a scene there.

Bridges recounted in his subsequent book, “The Dude and the Zen Master,” that he could not turn away. Instead, he tried sneaking glances here and there until, one day, after work, he mustered the courage to ask Geston out on a date.

But Geston declined his invitation. Even after he returned twice, she continued to refuse Bridges’ requests.

Bridges did not receive the answer he had hoped for, but Geston nonetheless stated, “It’s a small town; maybe we’ll run into each other.”

A second meeting between the two was scheduled. They met in a dance club one day while they weren’t at work; that’s when Jeff recognized he was in love, according to Jeff.

He asked Geston out on another date, and this time she said yes. The only problem was that the intended date clashed with Jeff’s meeting with a real estate agent.

Geston accepted his invitation, and the two—who weren’t technically dating—began property-surfing right away.

Jeff recalls a small voice whispering in his ear while they visited a ranch by a river, “You are now looking at a house with your future wife.”

Two years later, Susan and Jeff married. They’ve been married for over 45 years and have three adult children.

“As people, we are quite different, and we celebrate that rather than letting it drive us apart,” Jeff explained.

“I like her intelligence, and I’m sure the girls do too. I’ve been extremely fortunate.”

Susan’s love and support were invaluable during Jeff’s most recent cancer battle.

Jeff was diagnosed with lymphoma in the year 2020. Fortunately, he had chemotherapy and responded well to it. In 2021, the actor declared himself to be well and in remission.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge Jeff Bridges fan, and reading about his love story inspires me.

Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace are abuzz with excitement as they prepare to welcome American pop superstar Taylor Swift. Swift, who recently kicked off the London leg of her Eras Tour at a sold-out Wembley Stadium, is expected to meet with Kate Middleton during her stay in the UK. Despite being unable to attend the concert due to her ongoing chemotherapy, Princess Kate has sent her best wishes to Swift, expressing gratitude for the memorable moments shared by the children.

Taylor Swift’s first show in London was a roaring success, attended by numerous celebrities, including British royal Prince William and his children. The presence of the royals at the concert has fueled speculations that Swift may visit the royal palaces during her stay, given her history with them. In 2013, Swift shared the stage with Jon Bon Jovi at Kensington Palace for a charity event, performing “Livin’ On A Prayer.”

Last year, Swift personally invited Kate and William to attend her concert. However, Princess Kate’s cancer diagnosis prevented her from attending. A royal insider now claims, “Preparations at the Palace indicate that Swift could visit the royals on the invitation of William, as they have continued to be committed fans of the US megastar.”

To celebrate Swift’s arrival in London, the military band at Buckingham Palace performed a rendition of her 2014 hit “Shake It Off,” marking the significance of the Eras Tour arriving in the UK capital.

William, who attended Swift’s Friday show with his children, was seen dancing enthusiastically to her hits. Swift later shared a selfie with the future King and his kids after the show, further sparking rumors about her possible visit to Princess Kate, who missed the live concert due to her treatment.

Swift, who is currently in London, will perform two more gigs in the city on Saturday and Sunday before returning for an additional five performances in August. There is speculation that she might take this opportunity to visit the historic royal buildings with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who is also in the UK.

Princess Kate’s heartfelt message to Taylor Swift underscores the connection between the royal family and the pop superstar, highlighting the joy and memorable experiences Swift’s music has brought to the royal children.

In a heartbreaking social media post, Katy Perry talked about the death of one of her managers.

As a tribute to Martin Kirkup on Thursday, the 39-year-old singer shared some photos of herself with him.

Martin died at the age of 76.

The Dark Horse singer said she had to write about Martin because he was so special, even though he didn’t like social media.

“It took me a little while to make this post…something about posting it makes it all feel final…” Katy wrote on Instagram. And while Martin didn’t like social media or the news that comes with it, I feel compelled to say how important he was and still is to me.

“I say this because I don’t think anyone “dies.” I think they just go to the next dimension,” she said. They are no longer here; they are everywhere now.

“Martin Kirkup was one of my bosses at Direct Management for almost 20 years,” Katy said. He always told us, “Show me the data, the P&L, the science, the facts!” He was the leader of our group. He would say something cheeky, clever, or eloquent with an English accent, like “That’s ridiculous!” if nothing else worked. Everyone would believe him.

“Martin helped keep me safe. He worked hard to get me what I deserved and praised the strong woman I am.

Thank you for being on my team for almost 20 years, before I had (as my father from Memphis would say) a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of!

“Martin, along with all of my managers, have literally fought day in and day out for my voice to be heard, and I have SO much pride, respect and admiration for my team at Direct Management.”

There was also news that Katy had played the British music executive some of her new music before he died.

His last three days were spent hearing some of what I had been working on and how happy and loving it was.

“I could tell he was excited for the future, and I was so glad I had that last moment to make him proud in my own little way.”

Katy’s heartbreaking note ended, “We didn’t get to physically say goodbye, but I know he knows how much respect and admiration I have for him, and his hearty chuckles and wicked retorts continue to echo through my mind.”

The news source Variety says Martin’s family includes his wife Lale Kirkup, daughter Melisa Kirkup Blatt, son John Kirkup, and three grandchildren, Sam, Abigail, and Ivy.

STOP IDOLING

Katy announced on Monday that she is leaving American Idol after six years as a judge.

The singer from Fireworks plans to leave the show at the end of the season to work on new music.

Katy told Jimmy Kimmel Live about her choice, “So I think this will probably be my last season for Idol.”

“I adore Idol excessively. The heart of America is connected to me, but I need to feel my own heartbeat.

“I love the show so much but I wanna go and see the world and maybe bring new music.”

“Well, you know, I’m going to be at Rock in Rio, a huge music festival in Brazil, this fall, in September.” I think it’s really cool,” she said.

“People all over the world are excited, but my fans in Brazil are especially excited.”

“That means it’s going to be a really fun year for all pop star girls.”

“Maybe I’ll come back if they’ll have me one day!”

LATEST MUSIC

Fans of Katy think she’s going to release a new album soon now that she’s moving on. They’ve been begging the star to put out new music for a long time.

Caty hinted at her career plans in an Instagram photo of herself posing in a sexy black dress with a deep V-neck and big cutouts in the middle.

Ryan Reynolds enjoyed an unforgettable time in  New Orleans with wife Blake Lively.

The pair traveled to  NOLA for their friend Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop there, with concerts held all weekend at the Caesars Superdome, also the venue for the upcoming 2025 Super Bowl in February.

On Instagram, Reynolds, 48, shared photos from inside the performance, including selfies with Rufus Wainwright and photos of Swift, 34, onstage. In one mirror selfie, Reynolds cozied up behind wife Lively, 37, who smiled while wearing a collection of friendship bracelets on her wrist.

“When I’m 95 yrs old and my wife and kids wheel me outside and into the sun so I can drink a sandwich, I’ll still be talking about seeing this show in New Orleans,” wrote Reynolds in the caption.

“Not just because it’s one of the best things I’ve seen/heard/felt,” he continued. “And not only because you see the staggering and positive economic impact this tour has on small businesses all over NOLA — a town that’s been thru so much for so long.”

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor said the “main reason” he will “never forget this show” is because “it brings people together in so many ways. And in 2024, (where that feeling is scarce as hell) it’s a special and incredibly rare thing.”

Reynolds added that New Orleans is a “special place on a normal day — but this weekend, felt like Super Bowl or Mardi Gras had a baby with music.”

“I don’t understand the unimaginable work, care, talent and discipline @taylorswift generates to create an experience like this because I’m not a scientist,” he wrote. “It’s an athletic event and a collective cultural phenomenon. It’s gigantic but intimate.”

“The only bummer is she can’t be in the audience to experience what everyone else sees and feels,” continued Reynolds. “To watch herself up there is something I wish she could know. But that isn’t physically possible and even if it were, you can’t just get tickets last minute.”

Reynolds and Lively, who married in 2012 and share four kids, are close pals with Swift and have gone to several of her concerts during the record-setting Eras Tour.

Swift next brings her tour to Indianapolis. She recapped her New Orleans experience on Instagram, writing Oct. 29, “Wow, New Orleans. I’m still smiling thinking about that wonderful weekend.”

“The city really welcomed us with open arms (with friendship bracelets on those metaphorical arms) and celebrated the tour with such flare,” she wrote. “… Thank you to every one of those beautiful faces I got to see on 3 magical nights in Louisiana.”

Even though Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have only begun dating in the summer, rumor among fans over when they would pop the question is already at an all-time high.

News Update: Taylor Swift addresses her fans bluntly, stating the fact that, "You people might not realize the extent of my bond and feelings with Travis Kelce." There is no other man on earth that can ever replace my true love than the Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce. He shows me everything I needed to know about how sweet love is and how much he loves me every minute, and our relationship is unbreakable and forever...

The speculations peaked just as Kelce was getting ready for the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl. Swift is not the first famous person to have encountered enthusiastic admirers eager to tie the knot as quickly as possible.

Both Swift and Kelce are 34 years old, and neither has tied the knot or gotten engaged. However, Swift’s admirers have been there for both her dating and breakups since they first became aware of her romances when she was a teenager.News Update: Taylor Swift addresses her fans bluntly, stating the fact that, "You people might not realize the extent of my bond and feelings with Travis Kelce."

The head of the department of communication studies at California State University in Los Angeles sent an email saying, “The eternal enthusiastic in me is saying that the public visualize marriage and want the best for the celebrities.”

“The pessimistic in me asserts that fans feel obligated to see all the pictures, “get the measure,” and know everything about celebrities’ lives. The next thing they want to see is Swift and Kelce get tied the knot.”

Jenna Kutcher is a 29-year-old photographer and lives an extremely happy life. For 10 years she has been married to the love of her life, Drew Kutcher, a fitness instructor. The two live a beautiful love story and are extremely happy together.

One day, the couple went to the beach in Hawaii to enjoy the sun and the waves. There they took some pictures. Jenna appears in one of the pictures with her husband, both in swimsuits. The woman posted the photo on a social network and was shocked when she noticed a lot of malicious comments she received because of that photo.

Several people have commented that she is fat and unattractive and does not deserve her husband, who is a handsome and attractive man. She was told that her husband had a well-worked body at the gym while she was out of shape.

Because of her voluptuous forms, she received all sorts of other mischievous remarks, and the woman was offended and mocked in dozens of comments. Here are some of the comments:
“I can’t believe she found such a sexy husband!”
“You don’t deserve to have such an attractive husband”
“I don’t understand what your husband saw in you, he’d better find someone who looks as good as him.”
“I’m sorry to tell you, but you have to lose weight. You don’t fit in at all with your husband ”

And the malicious comments continued.
Jenna was not intimidated or affected by these comments and gave an unexpected response to those who criticized her:

“Part of my insecurity with my body has stemmed around being married to Mr. 6-Pack himself,” she wrote. “Why should I, a curvy girl get him? I feel unworthy and when I write narratives in my head that because I am not thin, I don’t deserve him.”

She continued: “This man has embraced every curve, every dimple, pound, and pimple for the last ten years and has always reminded me that I’m beautiful even when my inner dialogue doesn’t match. So yes, my thighs kiss, my arms are big, and my bum is bumpy but there is just more of me for him to love and I chose the man that could handle all that (and so much more!).”

Jenna was flooded with positive comments and was appreciative and surprised by the attention that followed.

“We’ve spent the last few days gawking at the fact that society believes that seeing two people (who happen to have different body types) in love is newsworthy, and yet we are embracing it wholeheartedly because it means that we get to share our message with YOU, with the world,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.

“We are not our bodies. I am not defined by titles like ‘curvy’ or plus size, and Drew is not defined by ‘Mr. Six Pack,’ ” she continued.

“At the end of the day, we are the girl and the guy who fell in love and started dating in college after [Drew] lost a bet that led to a first kiss – the rest is history,” she shared. “Our story has held ups and downs, light and loss and we’ve chosen to show up and turn the mess into our message. Because we believe the world is hungry for REAL and going viral has proven that.”

Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Nettles, and the Judds joined forces to honor the woman who paved the way for all of their careers: The First Lady of Country Music, Loretta Lynn.

At the 2011 “ACM Girls Night Out: Superstar Women of Country” television special, the leading ladies of country music banded together  for an unforgettable performance of Lynn’s iconic “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

Each of the seven ladies had their own moment to shine, sharing the stage and lyrics of the autobiographical hit equally.

“None of us would be doing what we do if she hadn’t done it first,” said McBride. “It’s no wonder the first lady of country music is Loretta Lynn.”

While Lynn was forced to miss out on the monumental performance due to knee surgery, she expressed her gratitude towards them via a pre-recorded video played beforehand.

Lynn is historically documented as the academy’s sole female artist of that decade and a trailblazer for the women of country music at large.

The collaboration of “Coal Miner’s Daughter” was the perfect way to honor such a legend as Loretta Lynn. You can watch their performance in the video below and be sure to let us know what you think in the comments below!
