As I?m writing this on Thursday, Prince William and Kate haven?t trotted out today to make asses out of themselves in a desperate bid to pull focus from the Invictus Games. William and Kate flew separately to France over the weekend, then Kate wore a tragique doll wig to prison on Tuesday, then William raged about suicide on Wednesday. Did? did they not plan something for today? I was really looking forward to seeing their pathetic shenanigans every single day of the Invictus Games. Looks like they?re too lazy to even pull desperate shenanigans. (Update: OMG, they really are doing something today! Theyre taking their sweet time getting there though, so we wont have photos today.) Anyway, what IS Kate up to? Please enjoy this Mail piece, ?Kate Middleton quietly carries on with royal duty by holding Early Years meeting at Windsor Castle amidst Invictus Games row.?
Kate Middleton is quietly carrying on with her royal duties this week as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated the Invictus Games with veterans in Germany. According to the Court Circular, The Princess of Wales, 41, held an Early Years meeting at Windsor Castle yesterday.
The royals work through her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood to promote the importance of the first five years of a childs life has been accelerated over the past year.
It comes as her brother-in-law the Duke of Sussex and his wife the Duchess continued their week long trip to Dusseldorf for the Invictus Games. It has been claimed veterans have become frustrated that the Invictus Games are not getting the attention from senior royals which other sporting events enjoy with Buckingham Palace looking petty and mean-spirited by not paying it enough attention.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were integral in the early stages of the Invictus Games.
The Royal Foundation, which was shared by Prince Harry at the time invested significant amounts of money in the event. There is now a sense of frustration among some British athletes that their endeavours are not recognised by public figures including senior royals who are quick to send good wishes to competitors in other international events, The Telegraph reports.
Critics argue the royal familys ill-will towards Harry should not be held against the disabled veterans who are competing.

There?s a real strain here, a strain in the invisible contract, a reach to give William and Kate ?credit? for Invictus, and yet a small sliver of criticism towards the Windsors too. The Mail knows that William and Kate had nothing to do with Invictus. Everyone knows that. Everyone knows that William and Kate are too insecure, too jealous, too pathetic to actually send their best wishes to British veterans as well. But mostly, the Mail wants more content and they?re not being placated with a line in the Court Circular about Kate?s ?private meeting.?

| | Bijou Phillips 'loves' Danny Masterson 'and has no plans to file for divorce' | | Added 227 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Just days after Danny Masterson was convicted of two counts of rape, People Magazine had a curious exclusive about Masterson?s wife, Bijou Phillips. Sources close to Bijou said that she was devastated over his conviction but she had no plans to leave him. Crash cut to this month Masterson was just sentenced to thirty years in prison for drugging and raping women. Bijou was in the courtroom for the verdict and for his sentencing hearing. Reportedly, Masterson showed little emotion (because he?s a psycho) but Bijou was sobbing during his sentencing. So, months later, is she hiring a divorce lawyer? Nope.
Bijou Phillips is ?distraught? after her husband Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison in his rape case last week, a source tells PEOPLE.
?She has had a very difficult time since the conviction,? the insider says. ?She loves Danny and has no plans to file for divorce. She will be by his side for it all.?
The source shares that Phillips, 43, is ?surrounded by family and friends? amid her husband?s legal troubles, adding, ?She is in touch with his lawyer. They are planning appeals. She tries to stay hopeful.?
Masterson?s defense attorney Shawn Holley did not immediately return to PEOPLE?s request for comment.
Phillips was in the courtroom ? alongside members of Masterson?s family ? for the sentencing on Thursday, according to Variety. The actor was seen blowing a kiss to his wife before being led away to prison in a court sketch. During the sentencing, two women he was convicted of raping gave victim impact statements and the Judge Charlaine Olmedo told Masterson, Mr. Masterson, you are not the victim here. Your actions 20 years ago took away another person?s voice and choice. Your actions 20 years ago were criminal, and that is why you are here, according to the outlet.

Yeah, this is a Scientology thing I?m sure Bijou is being surrounded by ?family and friends,? and all of them are Scientologists. Even if she waivered and considered divorcing Masterson and starting over as a divorcee, CoS probably wouldn?t let her. Their support is conditional, and the condition is that she stick with Masterson through a thirty-year prison sentence. As Leah Remini pointed out in her statement following Masterson?s sentencing, a few of Masterson?s victims were Scientologists too, yet CoS protected the rapist and not the victim. CoS threatened and harassed Masterson?s victims, what do you think they?d to Masterson?s wife if she ever tried to escape the marriage or this situation?

| | Drew Barrymore disinvited from hosting National Book Awards | | Added 227 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Drew Barrymore has well and truly stepped in it, hasn?t she? To recap: on Sunday she announced via Instagram that she was owning her choice to bring back her talk show mid-strikes because it?s bigger than just her but don?t worry they won?t discuss or promote other struck work. The post was also laced with words about how the show launched during the pandemic, she wants to make sense of the human experience, and she will bring us together with astute humility. By Monday the WGA clapped back saying the show returning now was a violation of strike rules, and they dispatched members to picket outside CBS in New York where the show was taping. Also amid this Monday maelstrom, two people who won tickets to the show?s taping were kicked out for wearing WGA pins (that are only 1-2 inches long). Now in another hit, on Tuesday night the National Book Foundation disinvited Drew from serving as host at their awards ceremony in November. The National Book Foundation is not on strike now. This is what?s called solidarity, Drew.
The National Book awards has rescinded Drew Barrymore?s invitation to host its upcoming annual award ceremony in the wake of the return of her talk show ?The Drew Barrymore Show? this fall amid Hollywood strikes.
In a statement to social media, the National Book Foundation wrote ?The National Book Awards is an evening dedicated to celebrating the power of literature, and the incomparable contributions of writers to our culture. In light of the announcement that ?The Drew Barrymore Show? will resume production, the National Book Foundation has rescinded Ms. Barrymore?s invitation to host the 74th National Book Awards Ceremony.?
The foundation added, ?Our commitment is to ensure that the focus of the Awards remains on celebrating writers and books, and we are grateful to Ms. Barrymore and her team for their understanding in this situation.?
Barrymore was initially announced as host of the Nov. 15 event in late July. Now, just days after some protested her decision to bring back her talk show on Sept. 18, the foundation has revoked its decision, with no replacement host announced.
While picketers expressed anger toward Barrymore, SAG-AFTRA issued a statement ensuring that the talk show?s return did not constitute scabbing: ??The Drew Barrymore Show? is produced under the Network Television Code which is a separate contract and is not struck. It is permissible work and Drew?s role as host does not violate the current strike rules.?
[From Yahoo! Entertainment]
It kills me every time someone from the show?s camp trots out those talking points about how they?re not violating strike rules? for SAG-AFTRA. Do they really think that ploy is working? (It?s not.) It?s like a parent asking to see your report card and responding with ?but I didn?t cut gym today!? They?re totally separate issues! Gold star for not scabbing the actors (technically speaking, symbolically is another question). The rest of us are talking about the writers.
It?s hard to believe it was only three months ago that Drew was riding the high of that great New York Mag profile. I just re-read the article and cringed when she comments on the network having just renewed her show for its fourth season, yet it was the first time they did so enthusiastically instead of begrudgingly. I wonder if subconsciously she freaked out over things going too well and threw in some self-destruction to counter balance. Like they say, when life gives you lemonade, make lemons!
