Kate Middleton stole spotlight from King Charles with royal visit: report

DailyMail revealed.“It’s a shame that his visit with [Queen Camilla] received less coverage than it might have expected to,” they disclosed to the publication. “I hope they are not too disappointed.”Camilla, 75, and Charles, 74, attended the sweet-scented botany bash as Middleton made a surprise stopover on Monday.The sources also noted that the high amount of press coverage given to Middleton may find Charles to feel “eclipsed” by his daughter-in-law.Charles had previously felt that others stole the limelight from him, especially when he was married to the late Princess Diana.The pair were married from 1981 until 1996, with Lady Di’s face often being splashed across the front pages.Andrew Morton, author of the 1992 biography “Diana: Her True Story,” explained to Insider last year how Diana was usually “the star of the show.”The writer added that Diana “never minded the personal difficulties” she had with Charles behind closed doors.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Lala Kent on Being Right About the #Scandoval: ‘That’s Why I Feel So Vindicated’

Louis Staples It was an earthquake that broke the pop-cultural Richter scale: the revelation that “Vanderpump Rules”stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss were having a secret seven-month affair behind the backs of their closest friends. But there was one of their co-stars who didn’t find the news of the affair quite so shocking: Lala Kent. Kent was the first cast member to suspect that Sandoval was cheating on Ariana Madix, his girlfriend of nine years. Madix found out herself when she discovered an explicit video on Sandoval’s phone, and, as Variety detailed in a May 17 interview with “Vanderpump Rules” executive producer Alex Baskin, by the time TMZ broke the story on March 3, Bravo’s cameras were already at the Valley Village home she and Sandoval share to capture the fallout. Those astonishing scenes aired during last week’s season finale.

Fetty Wap Sentenced to Six Years in Prison on Federal Drug Charge

Thania Garcia Fetty Wap was sentenced to six years in federal prison on Wednesday in connection to a drug conspiracy charge that claims he was trafficking narcotics across the country. The “Trap Queen” rapper was also ordered to five years of supervision after his prison sentence ends. The six-year sentence is one year longer than the minimum, according to The New York Times. Prosecutors had argued for the New Jersey-born rapper to serve a longer term in a letter addressed to the judge last week, urging that Fetty Wap (real name Willie Junior Maxwell II) had used his fame to “glamorize the drug trade” while making a wealthy living from his music. The letter made reference to one of his music videos to support the claim.

Spielberg edited the guns out for the 20th anniversary release of the film and replaced the firearms with walkie talkies. “That was a mistake,” Spielberg said. “I never should have done that. ‘E.T.’ is a product of its era. No film should be revised based on the lenses we now are, either voluntarily, or being forced to peer through.” “‘E.T.’ was a film that I was sensitive to the fact that the federal agents were approaching kids with firearms exposed and I thought I would change the guns into walkie talkies…Years went by and I changed my own views,” Spielberg continued. “I should have never messed with the archives of my own work and I don’t recommend anyone do that. All our movies are a kind of a signpost of where we were when we made them, what the world was like, and what the world was receiving when we got those stories out there.

‘Indiana Jones 5’ De-Ages Harrison Ford for a 25-Minute Scene, Director Says Ford Was ‘Agile’ Enough to ‘Pretend That He Was 35’ on Set

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” director James Mangold confirmed in a new interview with Total Film magazine that Harrison Ford spends approximately 25 minutes of the sequel de-aged to appear around the age he was in “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” The “Dial of Destiny” team previously disclosed that new VFX technology was created for the film in order to de-age Ford, but now fans know it was for an extended act of the movie and not just a simple flashback scene. Mangold called Ford “incredibly gifted and agile,” which made it easy for the actor to “pretend that he was 35” when filming the scenes. “But the technology involved is a whole other thing,” Mangold said. “We had hundreds of hours of footage of him in close-ups, in mediums, in wides, in every kind of lighting, night and day. I could shoot Harrison on a Monday as, you know, a 79-year-old playing a 35-year-old, and I could see dailies by Wednesday with his head already replaced,”
