The vibe I?m getting from the coverage of the Macrons? state visit to the UK is that British-French relations are very strong these days, and that King Charles and Queen Camilla begrudgingly called in ?reinforcements? in the form of Prince William and Kate. All of the energy ahead of the Macrons? visit to the UK was that Charles and other minor roles would do the bulk of the hosting duties. Something shifted on the eve of the visit, and William and Kate were put front-and-center. Kate was even allowed to come to the state banquet, her first evening event (and tiara-wearing event) since November 2023. It really is starting to feel like Kate was being shadow-banned from tiara-wearing for several years she wasn?t even allowed to borrow a tiara for King Charles?s coronation, for goodness sake and that Kate?s presence or lack thereof was entirely Charles and Camilla?s call. So why was Kate allowed to steal all of the headlines? Because the palace didn?t want people to talk about Charles?s bloody eye or his grim pallor. Still, Kate is taking the dub and already looking forward to Wimbledon!
For the first time since her shocking cancer diagnosis threw the British royal family for an existential loop last year, Kate Middleton attended a full state dinner Tuesday night?and comprehensively stole the show. After the debacle of her last-minute Ascot no-show two weeks ago, which sowed panic and confusion at the palace, and her stunningly honest admission that she has struggled to get back to normality since being given the all-clear, Kate?s decision to join the dinner for President Macron of France?having attended the formal welcome earlier in the day, which was well-flagged?was kept a closely-guarded secret until the last possible moment.
Kate?s attendance at the dinner capped a rollercoaster day for royal spinners when the carefully choreographed pomp of the state visit of President Macron threatened to be derailed by not one, not two, but three bizarre stories that cut through with the global public in the way only properly authentic examples of things going really wrong can do.
First, Brigitte Macron seemed to coolly refuse her husband?s hand as she descended the French state jet on arrival on British soil, reviving memories of ?le shove,? when she was filmed angrily pushing her husband at the top of airplane steps on another state visit.
Then, King Charles showed up with a gory, bloodshot eye. His palace spinners did their best to reassure the media it was absolutely nothing to do with his cancer treatment, but the images did little to project an image of a hale and hearty king, when that was exactly what was needed.
A third story that cut through with the public was when cameras caught the French president?s luggage van speeding away from Windsor Castle with the boot wide open, shedding luggage all over the immaculate driveway of Windsor Castle.
A palace insider told The Daily Beast: ?Kate has saved the day. The only thing the newspapers will be reporting on [Wednesday] is her presence.?
A friend of Kate?s told The Royalist they believed that Tuesday?s engagement bodes well for Kate to be at Wimbledon on Sunday to present prizes on the final day of the tennis tournament.

?Tuesday?s engagement bodes well for Kate to be at Wimbledon on Sunday to present prizes on the final day of the tennis tournament.? For years, I?ve noted that as soon as Kate?s patronage of Wimbledon was formalized, it became ?work? for her and therefore she tried to avoid it as much as possible. She?s been skipping important Wimbledon events for years, and now she?s lowered the bar to the point where she?s only committing to show up for the men?s final. The women?s final is on Saturday! I guess no one expects her to support women. Anyway, people kept saying ?oh, Kate needed to do that hospital event and the state visit appearances so she would be allowed to go to Wimbledon!? But ol? girl doesn?t even want to watch tennis anymore.

| | Freddie Prinze Jr. & Sarah Michelle Gellar 'feel like chauffeurs' for their kids over the summer | | Added 62 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Sarah Michelle Geller and Freddie Prinze Jr. have been together for 27 years and married for 22 years. They have two children, Charlotte, 15, and Rocky, 12. Sarah and Freddie are a low-key couple and hands-on parents. As we talked about the other day, summertime?s here, and that introduces a whole new set of challenges for parents. Sarah and Freddie are no different! Both of their kids have a lot going on this summer. Thanks to all of Charlotte and Rocky?s many activities and social engagements, the Prinze parents are currently feeling like they are in their Chauffeur Era.
Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar know exactly what their two kids are doing this summer, and it?s a ?tough battle.? The couple, who married in 2002, share a daughter, Charlotte, 15, and a son, Rocky, 12. Both kids have hectic social schedules, particularly in the summer when school isn?t there to take up a portion of the day.
?You get a little unbalanced because a lot of kids? friends are on vacation, or they go to camp at someplace else, or theyre busy with camp locally, so you are more present,? he tells PEOPLE of summer parenting. ?Theyre not running away from you as much. Like, ?Dad, can you take me here? Can you take me there? Can I see this guy? Can I see that girl?? We try to keep our kids pretty active. Youre definitely more necessary, and you might feel like a chauffeur, and thats a normal feeling for a parent to go through, but youre definitely more necessary in the summer.?
The key to it all, Prinze, 49, says, is patience, which he says is his wife?s parenting superpower.
?The practicing of patience in the face of teenage power is a tough battle. Its like All Might versus whatever horrible villain he was facing in My Hero Academia, that level of difficulty,? Prinze says, referring to the popular anime series. ?Patience, I think, is the ultimate power, and if you dont have it, its a muscle you have to work out. So, definitely put the time in because it will help you win all the arguments.?
While Gellar, 48, is a natural at patience, it wasn?t something the I Know What You Did Last Summer actor mastered early on.
?I had to learn it more than I was born with it. Sarah was better with it initially,? he acknowledges. ?Patience was something I learned and got better at over time, like anything else.?
One thing the Scooby-Doo star has always been good at, though, is cooking. As the chef of the house (who even has his own cookbook), he finds himself often cooking painstaking high-end meals for his kids.
?They have a lot of different requests, man. French onion soup is a big one. We make that from scratch,? he tells PEOPLE. ?I got a creamless tomato soup that my mom taught me how to make back in the day that they really like, but these are all things that take a long ass time to cook. So, all their favorite stuff takes hours to make properly. They like when I make New Mexico green chili chicken enchiladas. Im like, ?Yo, thats six hours over the stove. Are you kidding me right now?? But thats what they like, so thats what they get.?
He admits that the children do enjoy a simple grilled cheese sandwich, but adds that they prefer to pair it ?with the soup that takes me an hour.?

Charlotte is 15 years old, which means she is almost old enough to get her driver?s license. It?s totally a rite of passage for parents to start to feel the toll of driving their kids everywhere in the year or so before their eldest can drive, right? I bet Sarah and Freddie are starting to feel that itch. My parents were very overprotective, and even they got to a point where they couldn?t wait for me to be able to drive myself to my various activities. My kids are still close enough in age that they are doing camps and meeting up with friends in the same locations. That will all change next summer, but I am enjoying how uncomplicated their activities schedules are this year.
Also, I somehow missed that Freddie is a master chef with his own cookbook! It?s pretty endearing that he?s so into cooking that he?s willing to spend that much time cooking for his family. I don?t love cooking, but I also don?t mind doing it. (Anything is tolerable if you can do it while listening to a good podcast!) My food love language is bread and cheese, so I would totally give his French onion soup and grilled cheese recipes a shot.

| | LeAnn Rimes on her affair: 'I was a target that was just easily projected upon' | | Added 62 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

I?m only now realizing why we?ve been hearing more from LeAnn Rimes lately. She?s got new projects, and she?s actively seeking out some attention after being pretty quiet in recent years. She?s got a major role in a TV show 911: Nashville and she?s also releasing a perfume. Plus, she?s still touring. She?s still the breadwinner of her marriage, although I suspect that Eddie Cibrian does alright financially. Anyway, LeAnn has a new interview with The Flowspace, where she talks about her many health issues, her diet, her hyperbaric chamber and more. She also reflects back on the affair that started it all. Some highlights from this piece:
She used to take a sip of tequila before performances: ?I?ve traded that for Mylanta! I have acid reflux, and it?s been burning my vocal chords. [I have] a whole suitcase of all my supplements and collagen and creatine and protein and a blender. And I?m really into peptides, so I have all my shots packed on ice. There is so much prep that goes into keeping healthy on the road!?
The crew of ?911: Nashville? were shocked that she?s old enough to be a mom?? ?They were like, ?Oh, wow?we heard you?re going to be playing a mom?what? There?s no way you?re old enough to play a mom!?
She loves being older. ?You cannot pay me to go back to my 20s?just, no thank you. I?ll take the wrinkles! I felt very alone in this world for a long time. I don?t necessarily feel that way anymore? I don?t feel like I?m ever in hiding.
Dental issues: After getting dental veneers around the age of 16, she later had them redone by a dentist who didn?t bond them correctly; to address the problem, Rimes spent a decade undergoing multiple root canals and oral surgeries. ?I look at my pictures from that time, and my face was so different?it was just so swollen,? she shares. ?Oh, it was awful. I was in chronic pain for, like, two-and-a-half years.?
Going through perimenopause: She started feeling the symptoms in her late 30s and now takes hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage. ?I thought I was crazy for about two years. I was waking up at 3 a.m. all the time, and having really, really heavy anxiety.? She sought help from Mindy Pelz, a doctor of chiropractic medicine and author of The Menopause Reset, who strongly encouraged her to open up to Cibrian about what she was going through. ?She was like, ?Look, I?ve seen marriages literally implode over this? because no one really explains it to [men].? She was always telling me, ?If you?re feeling something, express it to him.? And I do; I?m really vocal about it.?
On her affair with Eddie which ended both of their marriages: Reflecting on ?all of the craziness we went through,? Rimes says she understands why people had such strong reactions to the couple?s affair. ?I realized very quickly that there are a lot of women who?ve been hurt. Like, I?ve been on both sides of that coin?I?ve been cheated on, too, so I know that feeling,? she says. ?But so many women don?t know what to do with that anger? I was a target that was just easily projected upon. And once I realized that, things got a lot easier. Instead of taking it so personally, it?s like, look: This is not all my pain to carry. I know what I?m responsible for in the situation and making amends for that. But you know, the world?s pain is not mine to carry, and I think that really got thrown at me for a long time.?
Her daily routines: Rimes prides herself on being an early adopter of longevity treatments, declaring, ?I?m one of those people who will try anything once.? She and Cibrian start their day by injecting themselves with peptide shots, a therapy that early clinical studies indicate could improve, among other things, skin and hair quality. She then spends about 90 minutes in her at-home hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which can help strengthen the body?s immune system, passing the time by binge-watching shows (her current fave: The Good Doctor) and doing word games.

As I get older, I get more curious about hyperbaric chambers. So many elite athletes use the chambers for recovery, and it seems to help a lot of them. I didn?t know that a singer like LeAnn could use one as well. But? spending 90 minutes every day in the chamber? LOL. Such jobless behavior. As for what she says about her affair and the backlash? damn, she really didn?t learn anything from that time, huh? Whitewashing her own problematic history too I remember many of the crazy things she did, including creating a finsta in Eddie?s name where ?Eddie? lavished praise and compliments on LeAnn. I remember all of the heinous sh-t she did to Brandi Glanville too. Oh well? it?s been years.
