As I?m writing this, there are no photos and I?m not sure there will be any photos, but the Duchess of Cambridge did an unannounced visit to the University of Derby today. The point of the trip was to talk to students about how coronavirus is affecting their student life. Which is bizarre on so many levels. Obviously, none of this is ideal the reality of students returning to schools around the world in a middle of a pandemic, and the fact that these campuses and school zones have become viral hotspots, leading (at least partially) to another coronavirus wave. And there?s Kate, doing drop-bys in a mask, disrupting a university which is already under strain. Whew. Why couldn?t THIS have been a Zoom call?
The Duchess of Cambridge surprised students at the University of Derby on Tuesday, as she visited the campus to hear how the coronavirus pandemic has impacted university life. Kate spoke to first-year students, sports societies and nursing students about the effect that COVID-19 has had on them, and the ways in which the university is supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
At the University of Derby, initiatives such as peer mentoring are provided as part of a whole university response to mental health. For example, nursing students are ?buddied? up with fellow students in the year above to provide them with peer support during challenging clinical placements, and the University has given training to its sports societies that will enable students to support their teammates? mental health.
Kates visit comes ahead of World Mental Health Day on Saturday 10 October, which she and the royal family have long supported. The Duchess visit on Tuesday came as Universities UK, which represents 139 institutions including the University of Derby, published a new checklist to help universities support student wellbeing during the autumn term. Universities should ensure that students have access to basic necessities during self-isolation, including food, laundry services, cleaning materials, bin bags, tissues and toilet rolls, the guide says.
A surge in coronavirus cases in recent weeks has led to thousands of students having to self-isolate in their halls at some universities, with some hanging signs out their windows saying they did not have food. More than 50 universities in the UK have confirmed cases of coronavirus as students return to campus, with students self-isolating at Manchester Metropolitan and Glasgow University.

I just? I mean, I get that some people in the palace probably thought it would be good to send out Kate to deflect from the barrage of headlines coming out of Robert Lacey?s book. But they literally sent her into a (likely) coronavirus hotspot! And all for what? Was this even a photo-op? She literally could have talked to students over Zoom and achieved the exact same thing without putting herself, her staff and university students in any danger.
She did wear a mask. Still, this was unnecessary.

Here are some photos of Katie Holmes & Emilio Vitolo aka Kamilio, I?m calling it out and about in New York on October 1. Even if I don?t like everything Katie wears, I usually appreciate that she?s got her own offbeat style, and that she isn?t actually a trend-follower. She tries to make different trends happen. So is she trying to make Clown Pants happen? I think so. How friggin? awful are these pants? The CUFF, you guys.
Much like Afflarmas, Kamilio is a very particular kind of ?pandemic couple? their love flourished fast during the pandemic as they went on outdoor dates in late August and early September. The problem was that Emilio was engaged to Rachel Emmons at the start of his thing with Katie, and Emilio dumped Rachel via text when he was already going out with Katie. It was very messy. Now it sounds like Emilio?s mama wasn?t here for his fiancee drama.
Katie Holmes? new relationship has not got off to an ideal start ? it?s upset her boyfriend?s mom, we?re told. As has been previously reported, Holmes? new squeeze, New York restaurateur Emilio Vitolo, dumped his fiance after getting together with the actress. But Page Six hears that the dish around the stove of his family?s celebrity-favorite Soho restaurant, Emilio?s Ballato, is that his mom, Lourdes, is furious about the way the whole thing went down.
Vitolo reportedly ended his 18-month engagement to designer Rachel Emmons in early September ? just hours before pictures of him canoodling with Holmes surfaced.
?[Lourdes] thinks she brought him up better than that,? said an insider. ?She didn?t like how [Emilio] handled this at all.? But another source said it was clear things weren?t going well between Vitolo ? who runs the sceney red sauce joint with his father, Emilio Sr. ? and his ex-fiance.
?He and his fiance were taking it slow, and it wasn?t working out,? an insider familiar with the family told us. The saucy source added that Holmes is more of Vitolo?s type anyway. ?He likes older women,? the source said. ?He dated an older anchor at Fox, and others, so he has a history with older women.?
Emilio Jr. ? or ?Little Emilio? as he?s known by restaurant regulars ? is 33, while Holmes is 41. Emmons is just 24. The insider said that an indie director who once auditioned Holmes told them, ?Talking to her is like talking to somebody who works at Dairy Queen.? The source added that Little Emilio doesn?t have the most sophisticated interests either, ?So it could work out. They?re not, like, discussing books, or art or anything.?

Reader, I laughed. I laughed so hard. Those burns were SO FUNNY. ?Talking to her is like talking to somebody who works at Dairy Queen? is next-level, but ?They?re not, like, discussing books, or art or anything? OH MY GOD. So were all clear now, the vibe is ?they?re both dumb as rocks but I bet the sex is good.? Is that what it is? I think that might be it. It?s looking more and more like Rachel Emmons should be grateful for her escape.
