Here are some photos from the 50th anniversary event for The King?s Trust. Fifty years ago, then-Prince Charles used his navy salary to start the Prince?s Trust, a scholarship and small-loan program to help British youths. In 2022, the Prince?s Trust became the King?s Trust, and it?s still one of the biggest scholarship programs in the UK. The trust has provided millions of pounds to help young people go to trade schools, acting schools, universities and more. King Charles plans to highlight the 50th anniversary throughout the week with several major events. Last night?s event was an awards show at the Royal Albert Hall.
Many celebrities came out for Monday?s event, including Ant and Dec, Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Rita Ora, Lily Collins and George and Amal Clooney. The biggest controversy of the night didn?t involve George and Amal though. The biggest controversy belonged to Rod Stewart, who congratulated Charles on his recent US state visit. Stewart said: ?May I say, well done in the Americas. You were superb, absolutely superb, put that little ratbag in his place.? That little ratbag?? LMAO. I?m shocked that George Clooney didn?t leap to Donald Trump?s defense, honestly.
Fashion notes: Amal wore an archival Alexander McQueen from the 2007 collection. It is not flattering on her whatsoever. Lily Collins wore gold as well a sleek Carolina Herrera dress. Queen Camilla wore a dark blue lace sack, which was probably designed by Fiona Clare. I kind of feel like Camilla should have dusted off one of her 1980s gowns for this wearing tea-length to a gala event at the Royal Albert Hall is surely a fashion faux pas for a consort?? Camilla also wore her Van Cleef & Arpels serpent necklace, which is a piece from her personal collection. Whenever she wears any of her serpent jewelry, they always bend over backwards to avoid the obvious ?Camilla is a snake in the grass? commentary.

I used to not care that much about Lily Collins, but she?s grown on me a lot because of Emily In Paris, one of my favorite ?dumb shows.? Lily is adorable in it, and I like that she?s moved into producing. She?s a nepo baby, obviously, and she married another nepo baby Charlie McDowell, son of Malcolm McDowell. Well, now Charlie and Lily have a nepo baby of their own! They just welcomed daughter Tove Jane McDowell via surrogacy. From Lily?s IG:
Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell. Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again?
[From Lily?s IG]
I thought it was a nice story, and I actually wondered if they?re saying ?surrogacy? when they really mean that they used a gestational carrier. They?re different things at a technical level a gestational carrier carries an embryo made from (in this case) Lily?s egg, fertilized by Charlie. Surrogacy means that Lily and Charlie might not use their own biological material. They didn?t explain it and it?s their business they don?t have to speak about why they?re starting a family in this way, and we don?t know if there were fertility issues or what have you. It?s none of our business. Apparently, people were getting into Lily?s Instagram comments and saying sh-t about surrogacy, and so Charlie posted this as a comment:
Thank you for all the kind messages and love. We are overjoyed and very grateful.
In regards to the unkind messages about surrogacy and our path to having a baby? it?s ok to not be an expert on surrogacy. It?s ok to not know why someone might need a surrogate to have a child. It?s ok to not know the motivations of a surrogate regardless of what you assume. And it?s ok to spend less time spewing hateful words into the world, especially in regards to a beautiful baby girl who has brought a lot of love into people?s lives. That?s all for now because she just pooped and I need to change her diaper.

?It?s ok to not know why someone might need a surrogate to have a child. It?s ok to not know the motivations of a surrogate regardless of what you assume.? Exactly I think there are absolutely conversations to be had about surrogacy and exploitation, but in this particular situation, it?s really rude to demand to know ?why? Charlie and Lily used a surrogate.

The big LA premiere of Tolkien was held last night at the Regency Westwood Village Theatre. We?ve discussed this movie before Nicholas Hoult plays a young JRR Tolkien who falls in love with the woman who becomes his wife (played by Lily Collins) and makes lots of friends at Oxford before going off to fight in World War I. His university experiences combined with his WWI service strongly influence his writing of the Lord of the Rings books. Unfortunately, the Tolkien estate wants no part of this movie and they want everyone to know that they did not approve the rights. Still, the movie promotion continues. George RR Martin even came out for this premiere and posed happily with Hoult and Collins!
Fashion-wise, I guess Hoult and Collins decided to coordinate with each other in pastels for some reason. Hoult wore a rather spectacular pale Pink suit, and Lily wore a Ronald Van Der Kemp Spring 2019 Couture halter gown. Did you know Lily is 30 years old? She still looks like a teenager to me, and the makeup and styling choices are definitely? ah, youthful? She looks like a kid who played around in her mom?s makeup and thought her messy high bun was super-fancy. The dress itself is kind of terrible too I wish the whole thing would have been the plaid fabric, or that they had figured out a better top.
Here?s a cute Wired video with Hoult & Collins:

In addition to taking on the role of JRR Tolkien?s wife in Tolkien with Nicholas Hoult, and Fantine in the BBC?s version of Les Miserable, Lily Collins plays Liz Kloepfer, Ted Bundy?s girlfriend, in Netflix?s Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Liz was a single mom when she met and fell for Bundy. According to the film, it wasn?t until he sat on death row that Liz was able to fully free herself from his clutches. So how does one prepare for such a role? According to Lily, she had help ? in the form of Bundy?s victims? ghosts who haunted her at 3AM each morning. If you listened to yesterday?s Gossip with Celebitchy podcast, you?ll know that hanging out with ghosts is one of my favorite things to talk about.
Undoubtedly the darkest of her recent projects is Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, about the serial killer Ted Bundy, who murdered more than 30 girls and women in seven US states in the 1970s. The title comes from the judge?s summation of Bundy?s acts when sentencing him to death. Collins plays Elizabeth Kloepfer, the killer?s long-term girlfriend who is convinced of his innocence, with Zac Efron playing a charismatic and persuasive Bundy.
While preparing for the role, over the Christmas holidays, Collins recounts how she would wake every night at 3.05am. ?I would go downstairs and have a cup of tea, trying to figure out why I had woken up again.? Then, she says, ?I started being woken up by flashes of images, like the aftermath of a struggle.? She went to the internet to investigate. ?I discovered that 3am is the time when the veil between the realms is the thinnest and one can be visited.? She began to believe women who were murdered by Bundy were, perhaps, trying to contact her. ?I didn?t feel scared ? I felt supported. I felt like people were saying: ?We?re here listening. We?re here to support. Thank you for telling the story.?
Collins tells me all of this in a completely matter-of-fact manner, as if receiving messages from long-dead murder victims were a perfectly normal part of preparing for a film.
[The Guardian by way of DListed]
I?ve actually heard mention about a boundary between this world and the afterlife being thinner at certain times. I didn?t know it was a daily thing, though. I imagined it was something that happened at certain times of the year or after major events like earthquakes and floods or when failed TV stars get elected to the White House. What does one offer to a spirit at 3AM? Coffee and donuts seems trite, but it?s just too early for scotch. I?d love to know if Lily believed in ghosts before they started supporting her career or after.
I had to leave the jokes up there because although The Guardian?s interview with Lily is actually pretty good, her comments about Bundy?s victims didn?t sit that well with me. I watched Extremely Wicked over the weekend and was impressed with Efron?s performance. Lily was good in her role as well. I was aware of Bundy through my parents during his trials and execution and researched his crimes later for a script. When the movie begins, the authorities are already looking at Bundy as a perpetrator. The angle the story took was how people reacted to Bundy, whether they were swayed by his charisma or infuriated by the fact he had that effect on others. The horror of his crimes is conveyed with little to no visuals and even though they are prevalent in the story, they are not sensationalized for the sake of entertainment. Although Lily?s perception of Bundy?s victims reaching out to her to thank her is a pleasant one, it walks the edge of exploitative. I very much want Bundy?s victims to have peace, I?m just not sure an early-morning Lily is the one to give it to them.
Thank you to DListed for making us aware of this interview!

As we discussed yesterday, briefly, Nicholas Hoult is in a bio-pic of JRR Tolkein?s life, or really Tolkien?s college life. This was pre-World War I, and Tolkien was a young married man and he went to Oxford and dreamed of Lord of the Rings. The Tolkien estate is not pleased about any of it, and they want you to know they do not approve of this bio-pic. But still, pretty pictures.
These are photos from last night?s London premiere. Hoult looked delicious in his Burberry suit (mmm) and Lily Collins was? there too. Lily plays his wife. She decided to go with this dumb Giambattista Valli gown. Let me say something nice to start? while I rarely enjoy Lily?s fashion choices, I do enjoy the fact that she takes sartorial risks and rarely goes for a boring column gown with a messy bun, you know? But this is a lot of look the pale floral fabric looks like a repurposed sheet, and the peplum isn?t helping AT ALL. The fact that the peplum is actually made to look extra puffy and crooked is a terrible design idea. The gold belt belongs on a different gown. Lily?s styling doesn?t match the dress at all either crimped hair (sleek on top) with fking hot Pink eye makeup? WHY IS THIS A TREND?
One other piece of Hoult news it was just announced that he has signed on for Those Who Wish Me Dead, which will also star Angelina Jolie and possibly? Tyler Perry? LMAO. It?s based on a serious novel (of the same name) about ?a 14-year-old boy who witnesses a brutal murder, is issued a false identity and hidden in a wilderness skills program for troubled teens while the killers are slaughtering anyone who gets in their way in a methodical quest to reach him.? No one knows who Hoult will play. But I?m excited that he will be working with La Jolie.

I never understood whyLily Collins tried to become a rich kid actress, when she’s clearly got way more talent as a rich kid model. Anyway, it’s still not too late for Lily to make a career switch. All she needs to do is keep posing for sexy photoshoots like this and maybe find a manager […]

I’ve always thoughtLily Collins would make for a way better rich kid model than a rich kid actress, and this photoshoot just proves it. I mean, look at those legs! I could spend all day trying to climb those things. …OK, more like 30-45 seconds. But still. Here’s hoping there’s more where this came from. […]

I guessLily Collins got bored of pretending to be an actress, and decided she might as well try to use her rich and famous dad to get her a better/easier gig. Because here she is pretending to be a bikini model for some new photoshoot. And honestly, I think it’s a good call. Lily’s actually […]
