Taylor Swift?s Eras Tour was the biggest concert tour of all time. The tour took Taylor into the stratosphere, and she was already arguably one of the most powerful pop stars of all time. Eras was its own economy, and each tour stop brought in tons of revenue not only for Taylor, but for the cities hosting her. Taylor already put together a concert-documentary which was (obvs) wildly successful as well. But now she?s got the behind-the-scenes docuseries about everything that went into making the two-year extravaganza of the Eras Tour. It?s called The End of an Era, and the series began airing on Disney Plus on December 12. Here?s the trailer:
My favorite parts of the trailer: seeing a blink-and-you?ll-miss-them glimpse of Taylor?s kitties (she has three); seeing Travis Kelce and his respect for what she?s doing; the focus on all of the production people who kept this behemoth on the road for two years. I give Taylor credit for a lot of things, but she deserves a lot of praise for figuring out a way to do this huge tour with so few screw-ups or tragedies. There were no rumors or reports of production disasters or mass firings or whatever. No one sued anyone. It?s remarkable, really.

| | Mail: Kim Kardashian is furious over the Sussexes' photo consent issues! | | Added 77 minutes ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The British and American media has now spent three solid days talking about why Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian deleted their photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at Kris?s party. It sounds like Team Sussex tried to do some damage control on their end, leaking it to a few outlets that the Sussexes actually checked the ?no, please don?t share my photos online? box within the party. But it also sounds like Team Sussex doesn?t care that much that the photos are out there. The snafu if there was one and this wasn?t by design is on the Kardashian-Jenners? end. In any case, I wish people would take it down several notches, because the Daily Mail?s Amanda Platell is already ranting about how Harry is obviously miserable in LA and he should have been ?back in England,? being snubbed in person on Remembrance Sunday! The Mail also had this exclusive about how the Kardashian-Jenners are absolutely furious at Harry and Meghan now:
The furore over deleted pictures of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry inside Kris Jenners 70th birthday party has allegedly bewildered the Kardashians and wont be easily forgiven in Hollywood, it was claimed today. Candid photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex cosying up to the birthday girl and Harry sashaying towards her on the dancefloor were all mysteriously scrubbed from social media.
People Magazine, the Sussexes preferred publication in the US, has claimed that Meghan and Harry asked that no photographs of them inside the James Bond-themed party were published. A source close to the Kardashian camp has said they are baffled given the Sussexes were happy to be pictured inside the Baby2Baby Gala hours before the party, where they posed with friend Serena Williams.
Another Daily Mail source in LA has confirmed that Harry and Meghan are believed to have ticked no on a photo consent form before going to the ball thrown for Kris Jenner by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Snchez at their $165million estate in Beverly Hills. Kris Jenners Instagram post-party round-up showed a series of pictures of her with Meghan and Harry. Her daughter Kim shared a picture of herself posing with Meghan. But these were later deleted, reportedly due to the Sussexes consent form.
A California-based source told the Daily Mail today that Kim is fuming. Another expert said that Harry and Meghan have risked losing support from Hollywood A-listers that they need now more than ever.
Kim was like you?ve already been papped outside and you were at the Baby2Baby event the same night being photographed like Meghan Trainor and Paris Hilton so what?s the problem?, the Mails source said, adding: Kim is pi**ed off.
Former executive editor of the American edition of Ok! magazine, Rob Shuter, who also acted as a publicist for Britney Spears and J-Lo, say Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian view the request to delete pictures as a snub.
You cannot ghost the Kardashians, one LA source told him. Another insider added: Kim doesn?t do take-backs. If you show up to a Kardashian production, you?re part of the machine. Meghan?s made another Hollywood enemy. And unlike royals, Kardashians don?t forgive easily.
[From The Daily Mail]
Keep in mind, at no point has anyone confirmed that Harry or Meghan reached out to Kris or Kim, demanding the removal of the photos. By ALL accounts, everything happened on Kris and Kim?s end, the posting of the photos and removal of the photos when they double-checked the alleged consent forms. The British tabloids believe they have another ?wedge issue.? Look, proof that the Sussexes aren?t popular in LA! Kim is furious, we promise! I bet you anything that both sides are mortified that this story has blown up the way it has. I?d also be willing to bet that there are no hard feelings in either direction.
Additionally, Sussex sources are now telling People and TMZ that there were NO consent forms or releases to sign either way, that guests were simply asked to check their phones at the door, and the party wasnt even filmed for Hulus The Kardashians. So why did Kris and Kim remove the photos? Perhaps they just didnt want the deranged community to blow up their mentions? I dont even know at this point.

In September, the first teaser trailer for Emerald Fennell?s Wuthering Heights was released to widespread derision. We got a glimpse of Fennell?s vision for the classic novel and that vision was? not great. Fennell doesn?t care about period details, she doesn?t care that her teenage heroine is being played by 30-something Margot Robbie, and she doesn?t care about the actual original text by Emily Bronte. To make matters worse, Fennell organized some test screenings for the film and those people TALKED. They said the film is ?aggressively provocative and tonally abrasive, leans hard into Fennell?s now-familiar brand of stylized depravity. It?s a deliberately unromantic take on Bront?s novel, stripped of emotional nuance and full of salacious detours that serve shock value.? Well, there?s now a full-length trailer and it honestly looks like they?re trying to ?soften? the imagery:
LOL, I?m out. While this trailer is at least attempting to connect the film to the book, it?s beyond clear that Fennell took some really wild liberties with the text. It?s crazy because I love Margot Robbie and I genuinely believe she?s an underrated actress, but she was miscast here, and that?s such a central thing. I do think Jacob Elordi would have been a decent Heathcliff in a straight adaptation, but who knows what he?s doing here.

| | Humphrey Ker: Prince William was 'sweet & sensible,' Harry was a 'maniac' | | Added 77 minutes ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last year, on St. David?s Day (March 1), Prince William made his way to Wrexham. His wife was still missing at this point, no one had seen her for about ten weeks. William?s behavior during this time was bizarre. He was allegedly in Wales to do some Welsh-themed events for the holiday, but his very first stop was at a Wrexham pub where he pulled pints with Rob McElhenney and got a good buzz on. If memory serves, William?s next stop was a primary school. He must have reeked of booze by the time he staggered into that school. Anyway, I bring up that very odd moment because it turns out that William?s old school chum was also in that pub. Humphrey Ker works with Rob and Ryan Reynolds on Welcome to Wrexham, and Ker was there to help facilitate the ?day-drinking? event. Well, Ker is something of a jack of all trades an actor, writer, reality personality, football manager, and royal gossip. Ker spoke to the Telegraph about his school friends, William and Harry, and how William was always the sensible one. Suuure.
His classmate Prince William: When Humphrey Ker was a seven-year-old boy, eager but wet behind the ears at Ludgrove School in Berkshire, his teacher asked the class to write a few sentences about what they would like to be when they grew up. ?It was as much to teach us about paragraphs as anything else. But we went round the room reading them out. Some people said fighter pilot, Arsenal striker, this and that, the usual,? Ker recalls. And then came the turn of Ker?s dormitory mate, an immaculately behaved little boy called William. ?He said, ?I want to be a policeman.? And everyone burst out laughing, because of course he wasn?t going to be a policeman, we all knew everything that was going to happen in his life ? he was going to be king.? Poor old Prince William, who still hasn?t made it to Scotland Yard. He and Ker were schoolmates through both Ludgrove and Eton.
In a dorm with William: Boarding school, which Ker loved, started at seven. Chance saw him put in a dorm with the future Prince of Wales at Ludgrove, and the young Ker very much knew who he was. Just as he did William?s younger brother. I?m imagining protection officers under the bunkbeds. ?Oh yeah, they were there. Trevor and Graham. ?Crackers?, was Graham?s nickname. I remember even aged saven I felt for those kids. It was during that period when Diana was front page news every single day. Everybody knew everything going, and it just seemed totally miserable. [William] was always very sweet and sensible. He just knew what his responsibilities were. Harry was much more of a maniac: great fun but much more badly behaved. I?m sure it?s exactly the same dynamic [with George and Louis] now.?
His thoughts on William?s life now: They lost touch at Eton, and then entirely, as William went to St Andrews and Ker to Edinburgh. He?s since met the Prince of Wales and the King when they have come to gladhand at Wrexham. ?Again, I just feel so sorry for them. It?s that gilded cage thing. It just looks miserable. I think what Charles would really have been happy doing is running some eco business out of his house in Gloucestershire, just quietly getting on having a nice time with Camilla and the dog.?
On the celebrities he?s met: ?I?ve been fortunate enough to rub shoulders with lots of very famous people, and it looks completely miserable. I wouldn?t say they are miserable, but the lives they lead are not for me.?
Ker has lived in California for 12 years but now wants to move back to England: ?We?re now quite eager to move back, for a variety of reasons ? some of which I don?t want to print, because I?ll get thrown in a detention centre.? He?s half-joking. ?Loads of American friends are moving here now. I know about five or six couples who?ve just gone, ?You know what? We?ve had enough.??
[From The Telegraph]
I looked up Ker?s age he?s 43, like William, which makes sense because they were in the same class. It doesn?t even sound like Ker would have had much interaction with Harry, given Harry is two years younger? It feels like another ?Sussex tax? everyone has to say something rude about Harry or Meghan or else. ?Harry was a maniac? he was a neglected child! Jesus. And William has never seemed ?sweet.? Or ?sensible? for that matter. William certainly didn?t look sensible day-drinking with celebrities on St. David?s Day while his wife was missing and (as we now know) in very poor health.

| | Royal insider: The Sussexes' attendance at Kris Jenner's party was 'unconscionable' | | Added 77 minutes ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

The ?Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian deleted their photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex? story has now consumed the British and American gossip media for almost the entire week. Personally, I think the Sussexes? attendance at the party was always going to be one of the major gossip stories of the week, but the posted-then-deleted party pics took the story to the next-level as everyone tried to figure out what happened behind the scenes. It?s become a complete gossip sh-tstorm because it?s not just ?sources close to? the Sussexes and the Kardashian-Jenners talking to the media, there are also PALACE sources trying to add commentary. We saw that earlier this week, where Prince William?s office clearly threw a tantrum to Page Six about how Harry and Meghan are ?so tacky? for attending an A-list Hollywood party. Well, it looks like royal sources also cried to NewsNation. Apparently, Harry & Meghan?s party attendance is ?unconscionable.?
Royal insiders in England are aghast at Prince Harry and Meghan attending Kris Kardashian?s 70th birthday party last weekend at the home of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
?It?s unconscionable,? one insider gasped. ?The day we remember our war heroes, our veterans ? of which Harry is one! ? and he goes off to a ball!?
While Harry did wear a poppy flower pin to signify the day, his wife did not.
?It?s galling ? they should never come back to England,? the insider added. The couple?s glamorous night out came on the eve of Remembrance Sunday ? the most solemn occasion on the royal family?s calendar.
To make matters worse, in years past, Harry had made sure to spend Remembrance Day weekend honoring fallen soldiers. In 2023, Harry and Meghan visited Camp Pendleton in San Diego to meet with U.S. servicemembers, veterans and Gold Star Families ahead of Remembrance Day ? and a year later, also gave tribute to fallen soldiers. This year, however, was different.
The couple chose to party with Adele, Mariah Carey, Bill Gates, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey and Stevie Wonder instead.
?Why didn?t they just come in the side door like Beyonc and Jay-Z?? One Hollywood type wondered. ?There are absolutely zero pictures of them arriving and perhaps one of Beyonc inside ? but none of Jay-Z. If Harry and Meghan didn?t want attention, they should have just asked for the side door. But then again ? Meghan loves the cameras.?
It was not only bad optics, but bad for the Sussexes? business. While they did hobnob with Hollywood elite and execs ? in hopes of gaining more business ? the couple were again slammed when they forced Kris Kardashian and Kim Kardashian to take down several pictures of them on the Kardashian Instagram. According to People: ?The Duke and Duchess of Sussex didn?t agree to have photos of them taken inside the party shared, and checked ?no? on a photo consent form, leading to the images posted on Instagram to be removed.?
But as someone who knows the Kardashians scoffed, ?That is ridiculous. Everything the Kardashians do is for public consumption, which leads to business. Harry and Meghan know that. They can?t have their cake and eat it too. They messed up big time by going to that party. They should have either stayed home or gone in through the side door. It gives (Prince) William more ammunition to dispose of them once he becomes king.?

The sourcing is absolutely bizarre. ?Someone who knows the Kardashians? said ?It gives (Prince) William more ammunition to dispose of them once he becomes king???? And a royal insider describing party-attendance as ?unconscionable,? a word no royal insider has ever used in connection to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor?s unconscionable activities with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Is this just Prince William and his office continuing to throw a sh-t fit? Are Kensington Palace insiders posing as ?someone who knows the Kardashians??
Incidentally, Harry asked to have his wreath laid at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday in 2020 and the palace refused and openly berated him for asking. Just as the Windsors refused to recognize his service on every Remembrance Day since 2020. Just as the Windsors have refused to acknowledge, celebrate or congratulate British Invictus competitors. Just as the Windsors refused to attend the Invictus service marking the tenth anniversary of the founding of the games last year. There?s a word for that? it?s on the tip of my tongue? maybe ?unconscionable??
