Hallmark’s William and Catherine: A Royal Romance Basically Stole the Plot of The Prince and Me

Hallmark's William and Catherine: A Royal Romance Basically Stole the Plot of The Prince and Me

A pampered prince tries to live a normal life at university and finds himself entranced with a spunky commoner that the Royal Family will never accept as a princess. Why does this story sound so familiar? You might think it’s because William and Catherine: A Royal Romance is the second made-for-TV movie about Prince William and Kate Middleton — but it’s actually because it has the exact same plot as the 2004 Julia Stiles movie The Prince and Me.

Kate Middleton and Morgan Freeman Are Equally Trustworthy

Kate Middleton and Morgan Freeman Are Equally Trustworthy

Ipsos, a company specializing in brand research, just released an interesting study asking average people how popular and trustworthy they would rate celebrities. Meaning, if this celeb endorsed a certain product, would you be more likely to buy it? The top results for the popular/unpopular lists weren’t surprising — we love Betty White and we loathe Paris Hilton — but some of the data in the middle is pretty amusing. Take, for instance, the tie for 7th place between American mainstay Morgan Freeman and the new Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. More »

The 8 Biggest Overstatements from TLC’s ‘Crazy About Pippa’

The 8 Biggest Overstatements from TLC's 'Crazy About Pippa'

It took less than four months, but now there’s an hour-long special devoted entirely to Pippa Middleton, and it’s just as bad as you would think: Stalker-like attention to the details of her childhood, uninformed guesses on her love life and marriage prospects, and hyperbole about her status as a fashion icon and owner of a splendid ass. For Crazy About Pippa, TLC relied on various bloggers, British historians, and the Middletons’ (less attractive) cousin Katrina Darling to blurt out statements as ridiculous as they are patently untrue. Here are our favorites. More »

Questionable Choices: William and Kate Wear Cowboy Hats

Questionable Choices: William and Kate Wear Cowboy Hats

During their Canadian tour (you know, what poor people call “a vacation”), Prince William and Duchess Catherine sported these matching white cowboy hats at a rodeo in Calgary. While I normally think that British people are genetically predisposed to hat wearing, I think they might want to stick with ones that look like the Flying Spaghetti Monster and leave the cowboy (cowgirl? cowwoman?) toppers to Snooki.

Fan Fiction: Princess Catherine’s Trip to Skid Row

Fan Fiction: Princess Catherineâs Trip to Skid Row

Prince William and Princess Catherine have added an extra stop to their L.A. trip — and it’s Skid Row! That’s right, the royal couple will spend some time at the downtown Los Angeles mecca of homelessness, bestowing their fanciness on some 17,000 transients. We traveled through time and tracked down Kate’s diary entry detailing the experience:

Dearest Diary,

Today was our final day in Los Angeles, and William and I visited the Skid Row area of downtown. Most of the people who live on Skid Row are homeless, and a lot of them are on state-assisted welfare — which I suppose is just like me and Wills! Before we left, Honeykins and I wanted to make sure we were dressed properly for the occasion. William decided to forgo his top hat for a simple bowler. I wore a fascinator made of feathers that reminded me of the pigeons I anticipated we’d encounter in our wanderings. More »

Snap This: Princess Catherine and Princess Diana Together Thanks to Photoshop

Snap This: Princess Catherine and Princess Diana Together Thanks to Photoshop

This Newsweek cover that Lainey Gossip spotted has me as uncomfortable as a Harry/Draco photo manipulation you’d see on a Harry Potter fansite: It’s Princess Diana Photoshopped into a picture with Kate Middleton, down to their matching snazzy dresses and hats. It’s definitely fascinating to glimpse what could have been, but it looks like the photo editors actually aged Diana to be 50, the age she would be in 2011. That’s where it gets creepy. More »

Snap This: Entertainment Weekly Burns James Middleton

It’ll take more than a crop of nude photos to keep James Middleton in the news. According to Entertainment Weekly’s Shaw Report, which rates the week’s hot news and what trends or celebrities are already stale, the youngest Middleton kid (he’s only 23) doesn’t even warrant a mention by name. Maybe since he’s the sole male child, or because the cake-making entrepreneur already had his moment in the sun. More »

Snap This: Princess Catherine Changes Into Her Reception Dress

Snap This: Princess Catherine Changes Into Her Reception Dress

Why be a princess if you can’t wear multiple gorgeous custom-made gowns on your wedding day? After the ceremony and the balcony kiss, Princess Catherine (sorry, it’s just so much more fun to type than “Kate Middleton”) changed into a second gown for the reception. The dress appears to be silk or satin, with a jeweled belt and a full skirt. She’s also sporting a white cardigan, but that could just be because she’s cold. More »
