Since her divorce, the Duchess of York will basically go to any event that pays her. She turns up at some of the most random-ass red carpets and events I?ve ever seen, still, to this day. Besides those paid gigs, Sarah is still the patron of many charities, and to her credit, she?s always shown up for those charities too. She?s shown up more often than many ?working royals,? let?s say that. Well, no more. Over the weekend, the Mail revealed that Sarah Ferguson sent an apology email to Jeffrey Epstein in 2011. The backstory: in 2010, Epstein gave Sarah a lot of money, she gladly accepted the money, then people found out she accepted the huge sum from a convicted pedophile, so she issued a public apology about it. All of that has been well-known for years. What people didn?t know was that following her public apology, Epstein threatened to sue her, so she sent him a sugary apology email, pledging her friendship to him forever. In the 48 hours after the Mail published the email, seven charities dropped Fergie as their patron.
Seven charities have dropped the Duchess of York as a patron or ambassador after an email from 2011 emerged in which she called sex offender Jeffrey Epstein her supreme friend and seemed to apologise for her public criticism of him.
Julias House, a childrens hospice, was the first to remove Sarah Ferguson, Prince Andrews ex-wife, saying it was inappropriate for her to continue in the role. The Teenage Cancer Trust, Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Childrens Literacy Charity, National Foundation for Retired Service Animals and Prevent Breast Cancer also announced they had dropped the duchess as patron. The British Heart Foundation said she would no longer be its ambassador.
A spokesperson for the duchess said she was not commenting on the charities decisions.
It comes after the Mail on Sunday and Sun newspapers published a 2011 email from the duchess to Epstein, which appears to have been sent after she had publicly claimed to have broken off contact with him. In the email, she appeared to privately apologise for her public rejection of Epstein, saying: You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me and my family.
That seemed to contradict her public denunciation of Epstein in an interview earlier that year, in which she had said her involvement with him had been a gigantic error of judgement and that: What he did was wrong and for which he was rightly jailed.
A spokesperson for the duchess said her subsequent email to Epstein, describing him as a friend, had been sent because she was trying to counter a threat from him to sue her for defamation and that she still really regretted any association with him.

As many have pointed out, it feels like Fergie is being targeted. I?m not saying that what she did was no biggie, but you have to keep in mind, we?ve barely scratched the surface of both Fergie and Andrew?s connections with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Literally writing ?You have always been a steadfast, generous and supreme friend to me? in black-and-white to a convicted pedophile will take down most public figures, I just didn?t think it would happen to Fergie before it happened to Prince Andrew or Donald Trump. But yeah, this has the feel of Buckingham Palace tossing Fergie right under the bus. Is this? King Charles?s housecleaning? Settling old scores, future-planning, taking care of some final business?

| | Julia Roberts & Chloe Sevigny actually became super-tight on 'After the Hunt' | | Added 53 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

One of things I?m most excited about for After the Hunt?s promotion is seeing more of Chloe Sevigny and Julia Roberts? interactions and conversations. Julia is seven years older than Chloe (57 and 50, respectively) but they?ve both been around for decades, and both are iconic in completely different ways. Chloe is so art-house and offbeat, and Julia is still, however improbably, America?s sweetheart. Julia and Chloe don?t mingle in the same circles and they never even said two words to each other before they met for After the Hunt. Well, here?s something surprising: apparently, they love each other? Like, they get along really well, and Julia was thrilled and nervous to meet Chloe. And Chloe is a big Julia Roberts fan? From the most recent Variety cover story:
Sevigny: Can I say when we left, I needed more Julia. On the plane ride home, I watched, like, three of your movies. I just wanted more!
Variety: Which three?
Sevigny: ?Notting Hill,? ?My Best Friend?s Wedding? and I can?t remember the third. But I was like, ?I just want more Julia!?
Roberts: [Actually tears up.] I am so glad this is being recorded.
Sevigny: I was like, ?I?m not ready to say goodbye.? Luckily there?s a whole canon I can go home and keep watching.
Sevigny on feeling close to Julia: I mean, I felt close to her the first time I met her. But she invited us to her home for rehearsals, and we stayed in her beach house. And she was just very giving and generous.
Roberts on meeting Chloe: I was so excited and intimidated about meeting Chlo. And when we were at my house, we?re all sitting around the kitchen table, and Hazel was making herself some lunch, and we?re talking about the material and rehearsing. Allan [Mandelbaum], our producer, he came in, and he goes, ?Chlo should just be here in a couple minutes.? And I look up, and Ayo looks up, and we match eyes. Luca goes, ?What?? And I go, ?I?m scared.? And Ayo goes, ?Me too.? And Hazel goes, ?I?m leaving.? And then, like a minute later, the doorbell rang, and Hazel goes, ?I?m leaving through the garage.? And truly we were so excited and intimidated.
[From Variety]
It?s not that I thought Chloe and Julia would hate each other on sight, it?s that I thought Chloe would approach Julia with an eyeroll, like, oh, whatever, a movie star! Chloe has softened though, and she?s also having some kind of career renaissance. I think it?s more like she?s gotten to the age where she can just do full-time supporting roles and character work (which is great!). Anyway, I think it?s really cool that Julia and Chloe like each other now. They?re friends! Chloe stayed at Julia?s beach house! Crazy world.

Angelina Jolie was in Italy over the weekend for the San Sebastian Film Festival. She premiered her latest film, Alice Winocour?s Couture, and Angelina will also receive the festival?s Donostia Award, which is sort of a lifetime achievement award. While Angelina?s film festival appearances always make news, this time, Jolie is making news for something she said during the press conference. She was asked about the state of America at this time, especially as an American artist.
Oscar-winning actor Angelina Jolie, who is at Spain?s San Sebastin Film Festival with Alice Winocour?s ?Couture,? was asked a timely question at the festival?s press conference: What do you fear as an artist and an American? The actor sighed deeply and took a few moments to answer before saying, ?It is a very difficult question.?
?I love my country, but at this time, I don?t recognize my country,? said Jolie. ?I?ve always lived internationally, my family is international, my friends, my life? My worldview is equal, united, and international. Anything anywhere that divides or limits personal expressions and freedoms from anyone, I think, is very dangerous. These are such serious times that we have to be careful not to say things casually. These are very, very heavy times we are living in together,? concluded the actor.
It?s important to note that Jolie?s comment on freedom of expression comes just days after Disney?s ABC took Jimmy Kimmel?s popular late-night show off its schedule ?indefinitely.? The decision came after one of the biggest owners of TV stations in the U.S., Nexstar Media, said it intended to preempt airings of the program following remarks the host made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
[From Variety]
She?s right. I don?t recognize my country either. It?s like sane, normie Americans are the proverbial lobsters in gradually boiling water. One day, we?re just looking around and wondering when everything changed. It changed in 2016, btw. When a minority of American voters got that orange demon in office. Nothing has ever been the same since then. Angelina is lucky in a sense she has other places to go and the means to take her family out of America. Reportedly, Angelina is waiting until her twins turn 18 and finish high school (next year) to move out of America permanently. Reportedly, she?s looking to move to the UK, but she also has a home in Cambodia and she does a lot of work in Ethiopia and Namibia.

Amanda Seyfried?s new movie The Testament of Ann Lee came out of the Venice Film Festival with a lot of momentum, for both the film itself and Amanda?s performance. Mona Fastvold directed the film from a script she co-wrote with her real life partner Brady Corbet, making this movie complementary to last year?s The Brutalist which they also co-wrote, and Corbet directed. Ann Lee follows the titular character, a real woman from the 1700s who founded the Shaker religious sect in America. Fastvold makes a point, though, of saying that the movie is ?inspired by? the real Ann?s life, as opposed to a straight up biopic. The film includes a lot of the Shaker?s signature singing and dancing, often described as ?ecstatic,? making the project an excellent showcase for Amanda. Not to get all Marlon Brando about it, but she could be a real contender during awards season. And while many actors in her heels have trotted out the campaign talking point of the physical transformation/sacrifice of a role, Amanda has been citing one very 21st century luxury she had to do without: Botox.
At the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of her film The Testament of Ann Lee on Tuesday, Sept. 9, the actress, 39, opened up about giving up Botox and makeup for her role as Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers.
In speaking with Etalk on the red carpet, Seyfried said that the ?sacrifice? was well worth it.
?I?m an actor and that?s my job and that?s what I love to do,? she told the outlet. ?I don?t necessarily need all that in my life. I just like it. The things that I like, I can sacrifice a little. Of course I can.?
She added, ?We did make sacrifices, and it was worth it. Every day was fun. We didn?t just survive, we thrived.?
The actress previously spoke about forgoing Botox as part of director Mona Fastvold?s no-makeup rule for The Testament of Ann Lee in an interview with Vanity Fair published on Aug. 26.
?I couldn?t get Botox for a year,? she told the magazine. ?That was a big assignment? When I first got [Botox], I was, like, ?This is amazing,? because I frown a lot. But then it all came back in a way that was absolutely necessary for all the work I was doing.?
The Testament of Ann Lee had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on Monday, Sept. 1. The historical musical drama earned a 15-minute standing ovation after the screening ? the longest of any film at this year?s event, surpassing the 13 minutes of applause given to Guillermo del Toro?s Frankenstein.
In video footage shared by Variety, Seyfried was captured getting emotional at the ovation as she gazed around in awe at her colleagues, including director/co-writer Fastvold.
Per a synopsis from the festival, The Testament of Ann Lee is ?an epic fable inspired by the life of Ann Lee, the founder of the Shakers, a radical religious movement that began in the late 1700s.?
[From People]
Take a quick trip with me, reader, if you will. Think of Austin Butler, years after filming Elvis and he was still all ?I just can?t shake the accent!? And then, by contrast, we have Amanda Seyfried, proudly stepping up to the mic and declaring, ?I gave up Botox, you guys!? I love her for this! Genuinely, I?m not being sarcastic or facetious at all! (I know sometimes it can be hard to tell?) This is what I?ve always enjoyed about Amanda: she is never too cool for school. She?s full unapologetic theater kid energy, yet without veering into Rachel Berry obnoxiousness. I?m thinking especially of how candid she?s been about how hard she worked for her six Wicked auditions to play Glinda. She wanted it bad! And then didn?t hide or deny it publicly, even though it didn?t go her way. But it sure sounds like playing Ann Lee is going her way in a very big way. And in Testament she still gets to show off her singing and dancing chops, only she?s traded flying monkeys for, according to Fastvold, ?the best prosthetics we could possibly get for birthing vaginas.? Well, that?s me sold.

Here are photos from the London premiere of Paul Thomas Anderson?s One Battle After Another. Leonardo DiCaprio stars alongside Sean Penn, Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti. Chase plays Leo?s character?s daughter. Leo is singing Chase?s praises, and he also enjoyed working with Teyana. I?m interested in seeing what PTA and Leo have done together Paul is only five years older than Leo? They?re basically the same generation, weird.
Anyway, I was first struck by how good Leo looks in these photos. He looks well-rested, fit, younger. His hair also looks fuller than it has in recent years? Is it the hair dye or something else? Did Leo go to Turkey???
Fashion notes: Chase Infiniti wore Iris Van Herpen, which is stunning on her. Teyana also went for a bold look in Oude Waag Fall 2025. I actually love the futuristic/Dune vibe of this, but I kind of wish she skipped the fabric piece around her face. It looks like that Skims ?face shapewear? which garnered so much criticism several months ago. Maya Rudolph (PTA?s wife) wore a terribly unflattering Bode dress. Neelam Gill also turned up at the premiere a few years ago, there were many rumors flying around that Leo and Neelam were dating. I think she?s with one of Leo?s close friends though, but that might have been a cover story.

It has been seven years since Mariah Carey released her last album (but only if you believe in the passage of time, which our Mimi does not), so fans will be rejoicing when Here For It All finally comes out next week. And the release arrives not a moment too soon! Because while it?s still not yet Mimi Season ? the hallowed two-month period when her 1994 smash hit ?All I Want For Christmas Is You? dominates the airwaves, if not the whole planet ? it is time to start planning your annual Mimi Season festivities. Parties that could include attending Mariah?s newly-announced Christmastime residency at the Park MGM in Las Vegas. There will be 10 shows between November 28 and December 13, and tickets go on sale Saturday. Unless you have access to the presale which starts? in just a few hours.
The Lambily has just one thing they need for Christmas, and Mariah Carey is delivering. The Queen of Christmas announced that she?ll be bringing her holiday show, Mariah Carey?s Christmastime in Vegas, to the Dolby Live at MGM.
?Excited to bring Christmastime to the Dolby Live at Park MGM in Vegas!? The five-time Grammy winner shared on Instagram Monday (Sept. 15).
Her run of 10 Christmas-themed shows kicks off the day after Thanksgiving, on Friday, Nov. 28, and runs through Dec. 13. Tickets go on sale Saturday, Sept. 20, at 10 a.m. PT. Ticket presales will be available to MGM Rewards members and Live Nation and Ticketmaster customers; presale begins Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 10 a.m. PT. These shows come after the singer?s The Celebration of Mimi Live in Las Vegas residencies in 2024 and 2025.
The celebrated vocalist boasts 19 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s to date, with her holiday classic, ?All I Want for Christmas Is You,? being among them. The carol, which has ruled the chart during the holiday season since 2017, snagged four straight weeks at the all-genre chart?s summit in 2024, bringing its total week at the top to 18 so far.
MTV recently celebrated Carey?s long-running career at the Video Music Awards, when the network honored her with the Video Vanguard Award on Sept. 7. The iconic singer delivered a career-spanning medley of some of her greatest hits before accepting the award, which was also her first Moon Person. Joked Carey in her acceptance speech, ?What in the Sam Hill took you so long?!?
[From Billboard]
?What in the Sam Hill took you so long?? Wait, did we just catch Mariah Carey acknowledging time?! No no, I kid the multi-millionaire diva as we approach the season of her minting the most money. This is her time of year, after all (even though years do not ever and will not ever crash into her orbit). Here For It All will carry fans through October until we officially cross into the domain of the Queen of Christmas, where our wishes are sentimental and humble, and no one suffers from hideous lighting. Just please, I beseech all the lambs preparing to flock: let?s not play rewind on last year?s shenanigans, where fights broke out at multiple concerts and sometimes, most blasphemously, even during the song. Don?t ruin the magic for yourself, the rest of the audience, and definitely not for Mimi ? she doesn?t have time for that sh-t. NOT that time affects her at all!

Did you guys know that both Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are Virgos? That?s so interesting to me, you rarely see dual-Virgo marriages out in the wild, especially among celebrities. Brittany?s birthday is August 31, and Patrick?s b-day is September 17th. Taylor Swift went to some of Brittany?s b-day festivities in Nashville several weeks ago, and now it appears that Taylor went to a smallish birthday party for Patrick. This party happened on Sunday night, after the Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Country singer Kane Brown was there, and he posted a photo of the Mahomeses along with Travis Kelce and Taylor. This was the only sighting of Taylor on Sunday, because even though she attended the Chiefs game, she hid behind a barrier on her way to the VIP box, and she also hid from broadcasters during the game. TMZ now says that Taylor hid away because of security issues, which is what I figured.
Taylor Swift snuck into a football stadium to watch her fianc Travis Kelce at work and it looks like she used a bullet-resistant portable shield to evade detection following Charlie Kirks very public murder. Swifties are running with an interesting theory online after Taylor kept an extremely low profile at Sundays game between Travis Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles her fans think she was behind a bulletproof barrier that was seen rolling through the bowels of Arrowhead Stadium in K.C.
We did some digging and it seems the barrier being used here is a bullet-resistant portable shield partition that retails for about $6,000.
Taylor usually makes high-profile arrivals to Arrowhead to watch Travis play with tons of video typically showing her making her way to her suite. That didnt happen Sunday and its unclear why she seemingly felt the need to sneak in behind a protective barrier. It will be interesting to see if Taylor keeps this up the screen may be bad luck though the Chiefs lost, 20-17, to drop to 0-2 on the season.
[From TMZ]
This isn?t the first time that Taylor?s security has had to turn on a dime because of some larger national issue. During her Eras Tour, she had to cancel her Vienna concerts because of a terrorist plot. The past week has been absolutely insane, and I would assume that Taylor?s private security is being inundated with credible threats. I actually wonder if Taylor is going to make a point of skipping Chiefs games for a little while, at least until things cool down.

Something really weird happened last night. While no one was paying any attention to the Emmys, football season was in full swing. The Eagles played the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium, in a rematch of the Super Bowl earlier this year. The Eagles once again beat the Chiefs, and Travis Kelce is being blasted for screwing up a pass or something (I magically still don?t know anything about football). Travis was really upset, and he was screaming and throwing his helmet. People were really going in on him online.
So, that was weird, but so is this: Taylor Swift was allegedly there, but no one caught sight of her and there were no photos or cutaways to her during the game. For the past two football seasons, Taylor is a regular at games played at Arrowhead. She and her team work with Arrowhead security, and there?s almost always a little ?stroll? in one of the stadium?s corridors where a couple of photographers can get pics of her outfit. As I said, that?s been the case for two years. But this year, for the Chiefs? first home game of the season, Taylor didn?t do that. She apparently hid behind a screen on her way to the VIP box. Which? okay, maybe she didn?t feel like being photographed like that anymore. But they didn?t get any photos of her in the VIP box either?? What?s going on? People Mag swears that she was there, so I guess she just watched her fiance?s team lose from deep inside the VIP box.
People are immediately going with ?pregnant.? Possibly, but I think there?s a much better chance that this was completely about her security. Taylor showed up late, mid-game as well.
I?m not a Taylor Swift fan. However, she has freely walked in and out of chief games no problem. Now she?s engaged to Travis Kelce. So why would they need to block people from seeing her? Enter or exit the game? I will tell you. She?s probably pregnant. @taylorswift13? pic.twitter.com/uSVO26AyGP

In August, Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles were seen making out in London and walking arm-in-arm in Rome. It came as a surprise to me because I believed that Zoe had been dating Austin Butler for much of the past year. If not dating, perhaps more like a situationship which seemed to have legs. But according to sources, the Butler speculation hid Zoe?s relationship with Harry Styles, and they?ve possibly been dating for a few months (or longer). Well, ever since their European adventures, they?ve seemingly been hanging out in Brooklyn, where Zoe lives, and they?ve been photographed several times. Page Six makes it sound like they?re in the first flush of love/lust.
Zo Kravitz and Harry Styles seem to be taking their new romance to the next level ? hanging out with each other?s friends. The stylish duo were spotted on Saturday dining with a group of pals at Wolfgang Puck?s swanky Cut at the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown.
?They?re with a group of friends,? a spy told Page Six. ?Cocktails, having a good time!?
The pair was seen holding hands while walking through Williamsburg, Brooklyn, multiple times last week. A spy who saw them during one stroll exclusively told Page Six that former One Direction singer, 31, and the ?Big Little Lies? alum, 36, are ?definitely a couple.?
?They were holding hands and laughing together, like, very casual,? the spy told us. ?He was making some joke. He leaned his head back, looked up and she was laughing.?
Kravitz has owned an apartment in Williamsburg for years, and used to share it with ex Channing Tatum.
Another source told Page Six of Kravitz and Styles, ?I feel like they?ve gone from 0 to 60.?
?It?s so hard to date as a celebrity ? Harry wouldn?t have gone public with Zo if it wasn?t anything,? said the source. ?[But] it?s very new and fresh and they?re just having fun.? The source also added: ?Harry doesn?t label this stuff.?
[From Page Six]
I kind of hate how Harry does relationships, but he might have met his match in Zoe ?Love ?Em And Leave ?Em? Kravitz. It feels like Harry never really falls head-over-heels for anyone, like he keeps a real emotional distance from every woman he?s ever dated. Maybe I?m reading too much into it, but it?s very ?I?m a rock star heartthrob, you have to do all the emotional labor here.? But hey, as I said, Zoe certainly operates in a similar way in her relationships.

Here are some photos of Sydney Sweeney attending events at the Toronto International Film Festival. She went to TIFF to premiere Christy, the bio-pic of boxer Christy Martin. The pics in this post are from the premiere event and the afterparty, where Sydney changed into a black gown. Her premiere look was a pale Pink corseted gown by Erdem. Which? it?s fine. I don?t hate it, and it?s flattering for her figure, but the skirt is a mess.
TIFF was Sydney?s first time back in public and in a press junket since all of this summer?s controversies. There was the American Eagle-eugenics issue, and on the heels of that, we learned that Sydney is a registered Republican in Florida. She?s also been dating Scooter Braun for several months, which I consider a stand-alone controversy because it?s in such bad taste for her. When asked about some of these scandals, Sydney told Vanity Fair: ?I am there to support my movie and the people involved in making it, and I?m not there to talk about jeans. The movie?s about Christy, and that?s what I?ll be there to talk about.?
As for the movie, the critical buzz from TIFF is that Sydney has done a fantastic job in the role and she might have a shot at some awards. The NY Times rather patronizingly asked: ?With ?Christy,? Can Sydney Sweeney Rebrand as a Serious Actress?? This is an actress with two Emmy nominations, mind you.
