Usually, we don?t get the ?who is the hardest-working royal? stories until December. Traditionally, that?s because many of the Windsors do a last-minute work blitz in November and December, events which pump up their annual engagement numbers. But I guess we?re looking at a quiet royal holiday season, because the hard-working royal lists are already coming out. As always, Princess Anne retains the title for hardest-working royal. That happened in spite of the fact that she was hospitalized for a week after likely being kicked in the head by a horse. Anne had to cancel a lot of events over the summer. It didn?t matter, because everyone else avoided work like the plague.
Once again, it?s Princess Anne who has been crowned the hardest working member of the British royal family.
The Princess Royal, 74 ? the only daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip ? carried out 217 engagements so far in 2024, a new study revealed. Princess Anne has taken the top spot annually for four years now, according to The Daily Express. Even though this year saw her sustain a head injury over the summer after being kicked by a horse ? forcing her to cancel numerous public engagements after she was hospitalized for her injury ? she still finished first, and often stepped in on behalf of her older brother, King Charles, after his cancer diagnosis in February. Her engagement count rose 2.4% this year as compared to 2023, according to research from SEO agency Reboot Online. The agency analyzed the Court Circular to obtain the number of engagements undertaken by each royal throughout 2024.
Despite his cancer diagnosis, which was revealed following a January procedure to correct a benign enlarged prostate, King Charles still finished second in the rankings with 186 engagements so far this year, a 5.6% decrease from the year prior. October ? when he and wife Queen Camilla traveled to Australia and Samoa to undertake a royal tour there ? was Charles? busiest month of the year, with 26 engagements undertaken that month alone.
In a royal surprise, Prince Richard, the Duke of Gloucester, came in third place with 126 royal engagements. This marks an 11.5% increase from 2023. In fourth place is Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, with 124 engagements; his wife Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, ranked fifth with 108; and Queen Camilla took the sixth place spot with 95. Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester ? who stood in for the Queen earlier this month after Camilla fell ill with a chest infection ? came in seventh with 72, and Prince William came in eighth place with 71 royal engagements. 2024 marked a quieter year for the Prince of Wales, as part of the year was spent caring for his wife Kate Middleton, who was also diagnosed with cancer earlier this year. His engagement count dropped 35.5% this year.

What always kills me about the methodology of determining ?royal work? is just counting the number of ?work engagements,? not the actual time, substance or quality of the work. A fifteen minute meeting at Windsor Castle ?counts? the same as Anne flying to Scotland for an event with one of her patronages. What?s sort of notable here (to me) is how Sophie and Edward weren?t really dominating in Charles, William and Kate?s absences. They could have been front and center and doing daily events. Instead, Edward only had events roughly one out of three days and Sophie was doing even less. And even with William?s decreased numbers, he still made time to go to a dozen sporting events, mostly football matches. Those are ?counted? in his official numbers too.

| | Apple TV+ canceled the 'Wolfs' sequel starring Brad Pitt & George Clooney | | Added 1 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

One of the funniest entertainment stories of this past summer was what happened to Wolfs, the reunion project for Brad Pitt & George Clooney. The original idea was that Apple produced this buddy-action-comedy at great cost, with generous salaries for both Pitt and Clooney. Then Apple would spend lavishly to promote the film ahead of its wide theatrical release. Suddenly, in August, Apple pulled their big ad buy during the Olympics and around the same time, quietly pulled back from their plan to give Wolfs a wide theatrical release. Basically, as soon as Apple executives saw Wolfs, they realized that it was going to be a huge bomb, so they gave it a small limited release and then shuffled it off to streaming. The face-saving measure for Apple and CAA (the agency which represents Clooney & Pitt) was that everyone really believed in Wolfs, so much so that they were totally planning on making a sequel. They announced the sequel alongside their plan to throw Wolfs on streaming. Well, guess what? LOL.
Three months after Apple inked a deal with director Jon Watts to develop a follow-up to his crime caper ?Wolfs,? starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, plans for the sequel have now been halted, Variety has learned.
The confirmation comes after Collider published an interview with Watts Friday morning. Promoting his new Disney+ ?Star Wars? series ?Skeleton Crew,? the filmmaker was asked about his coming plans, responding ?I don?t know what I?m directing next, and I don?t think there?s going to be a ?Wolfs? sequel.? Variety has since confirmed with sources that plans have been scrapped. Apple TV+ did not immediately respond for comment.
Back in August, Apple gave a rose-and-thorn update to its rollout of ?Wolfs.? The tech giant confirmed that it was pulling the wide theatrical release of the film, which it had partnered with Sony on as a distributor. Instead, ?Wolfs? moved to a one-week limited theatrical engagement on Sept. 20, with its debut on the streamer Apple TV+ coming a week after on Sept. 27.

Hint: it?s not that the sequel plans have been scrapped, it?s that there were no plans to begin with. Announcing the sequel was always meant as a hacky face-saving move because Apple hated the film but didn?t want to alienate Pitt and Clooney. I still wonder when Apple realized they had a problem. Was it when Brad and George did that horrible joint-interview with GQ and it was clear that the purpose was not actually about promoting the movie, but rather rehabilitating a domestic abuser? Notice I?m not suggesting that Apple had some kind of come-to-Jesus moment where they realized it actually looked bad to do the film with Brad Pitt in the first place.

| | Princess Kate invited the Southport families to her Christmas carol show | | Added 1 hours ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

In late July, a man went on a rampage at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for little kids. Three little girls died in the stabbing, and the Southport community was devastated. The whole of England was devastated, and white nationalists used the stabbings as an excuse to go on their own racist rampages throughout the country. In those weeks, King Charles was vacationing in Scotland, and the Prince and Princess of Wales vacationed in Norfolk. Charles didn?t go to Southport and meet the families until more than three weeks later (and I theorized that Keir Starmer ordered him to do it). Meanwhile, William and Kate waited until October to meet with the families and first responders. Well, on Friday, Marie Claire released photos and information from the Duchess of Sussex?s dinner with Afghan refugees/immigrants. A short time later, Kensington Palace rushed out an announcement that Kate has invited the Southport families to her Christmas caroling show.
The Princess of Wales has invited child survivors of the Southport stabbing to her annual Christmas carol concert. The Princess, who is recovering from cancer, is holding her festive event at Westminster Abbey on Dec 6, Kensington Palace has confirmed.
It comes after the Princess and the Prince of Wales met privately with the bereaved families of Bebe King, 6, Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9, who were fatally stabbed during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on July 29 in Southport, as well as the children?s dance teacher. At the Southport Community Centre, they met emergency responders involved in the attack and heard about their experiences.
The Princess had set her sights on being able to stage the Together At Christmas service in 2024 despite the health challenges she faced in what the Prince of Wales described as a ?brutal? year.
It forms part of her gradual return to public duties after finishing chemotherapy treatment in the summer.
The Palace said the Princess, who honoured the war dead at Remembrance events earlier this month, wanted the theme of this year?s carol service to celebrate those supporting others in need, with a focus on the ?importance of love and empathy?
.
?The service will shine a light on individuals from all over the UK who have shown love, kindness and empathy towards others in their communities. This year, Her Royal Highness wanted to celebrate the many people supporting those in need ? individuals who have inspired, counselled, comforted, and above all else, shown that love is the greatest gift we can receive. This theme takes inspiration from the Christmas story which encourages us to consider the experiences of others and the important human need of giving and receiving empathy.?
[From The Telegraph]
As I mentioned previously, Taylor Swift actually did more for these families and she did it faster before Charles even stepped foot in Southport, Taylor had already called up the families and personally invited them to her London shows, AND she met with the families backstage. That probably meant so much more to those kids and those families. As for Kate inviting the kids to her Christmas piano recital? the thing is, I always get the feeling that this show is really dull, boring and not great for kids? It seems like it would be such a chore to get squirmy kids to settle down for two hours for this kind of thing. Now, did Kate announce this as a direct reaction to Meghan?s dinner? Eh. I think Kate had already invited the families, but yeah, the announcement was probably reactive.

I love a v-neck sweater. So cozy, so sexy, so versatile. Angelina Jolie wore a black v-neck sweater and a dark grey pencil skirt in Torino, Italy today. She arrived at the Torino Film Festival and was promptly handed an award the Stella della Mole prize, a sort of lifetime achievement for her acting career. She?s also at the film festival to promote Without Blood (which she directed). I love that she wore flats this is such a chic-yet-simple outfit. I really want to know where she got the sweater it looks like it?s either really expensive, or really mass-market, like something from Banana Republic. The coat is nice as well.
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and his team keep trying to impose themselves on Angelina?s promotional autumn and winter. Last week, sources close to Brad told Page Six that Angelina was ?pushing his buttons? by bringing Knox as her date to the Governors Awards. Then Pitt?s team ran to the Daily Mail (one of the favorite outlets to leak to), telling the Mail that Brad?s parents haven?t seen the six kids for the past eight years. An insider told the Mail: ?Brad Pitts parents have not been able to see their beloved grandchildren for around eight years amid the ongoing divorce and legal battle between Brad and Angelina. Prior to the separation, they were a part of the kids? lives and they all spent a lot of time together. It is just heartbreaking to see that this is no longer the case.? The insider is very careful in how he words things, never directly saying ?Angelina has banned the children from speaking to their grandparents.? That?s probably because Angelina has likely done no such thing I would assume, given everything Brad has done to Angelina, that Brad is the one responsible for the estrangement between the kids and his parents.

In recent months, Kim Kardashian and ?sources? close to her have been emphasizing the fact that she?s raising four children pretty much by herself. The comments were, I believed, about Kanye West?s lack of involvement with his children, although I think Kanye does spend some time with North (the oldest). But Saint, Chicago and Psalm? Ye isn?t involved. It really is up to Kim to do all of the child-rearing and keep up with all of the kids? schools and activities. But this whole time, we?ve always believed that Kim has an army of nannies and helpers. I mean, she?s a billionaire on paper, she?s also still a ?law student,? of course she pays for nannies and helpers, right? Well, not according to Kim, who told a podcast that she?s ?basically raising four kids by myself here.?
Kim Kardashian admits she often feels ?alone? raising the four children she shares with ex Kanye West. During Tuesday?s episode of pal Zoe Winkler?s iHearRadio podcast, ?What In The Winkler,? the reality star addressed her co-parenting arrangement with her ex-husband. The episode was dropped just weeks after a source claimed to People that West has been an absent father.
?You and I have mostly connected on parenting and judgment, and you know, feeling like sometimes you?re in this alone,? Kardashian, 44, told Henry Winkler?s daughter. The Skims founder ? who shares North, 11, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and Psalm, 5, with West ? went on to confess that she also feels overwhelmed at times.
?Even though we have great support systems and we have people around us, but sometimes in the middle of the night when [the kids are] all sleeping in your bed, kicking you and crying and waking up, like, it is?,? she said before trailing off. ?It?s not something I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment. Or people will always jump to the, ?Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help.? And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, I?m basically raising four kids by myself.
Zoe called Kardashian?s current parenting situation ?insane,? to which the Hulu star replied, ?Yeah. I mean, even carpool this morning, I had five kids that I had to take, two came over, and everyone leaves and wants to leave at like, different times and wants different stuff. I feel like I?m at, like, a pitstop of a racecar driver, when it?s like, ?Brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, brush your teeth, OK, get dressed, get dressed, do your hair.??
Zoe brought up in the podcast how the SKKN by Kim creator drives her children to school every morning. ?That?s what?s really important to me ? driving them to school every single day is just what I have to do no matter what [my] work schedule [is]. It?s really important to me. That?s just, like, my bonding time. That?s when I can get them up, get ready, but it?s madness.?

?I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, I?m basically raising four kids by myself.? Yeah, even though I know everyone loves to hate on Kim, I understand what she?s saying. She?s not saying she doesn?t have nannies or help, she?s saying that she?s the only one parenting her kids. She?s the only one making decisions about the kids, she?s the only one ?raising? these kids. I think that?s fair for her to feel that way. I?d also like to point out that? she?s the one who wanted four kids. Even when her marriage was on its last legs, she was still organizing a gestational carrier for the two younger kids. She said that was what she wanted. And now that she?s raising the kids on her own, she?s overwhelmed.

Well, I was wrong. I kept thinking ?they?ve spent way too long promoting Wicked, there?s no way this is going to do what they think it will.? I thought it would be an oversaturation issue, that people would be bored of hearing about Wicked before Part 1 even came out. But I was wrong people love a musical, especially when it?s the first film adaptation of a massively popular Broadway show. Wicked is on track to becoming one of the biggest hits of the year. Gladiator II also performed very well they were trying to make this into another Barbenheimer head-to-head (?Glicked?) and it worked?
If you care to find ?Wicked,? look to the top of box office charts. Universal?s adaptation of Act One (with some padding) of the popular Broadway musical was No. 1 in North America with $114 million from 3,888 theaters over the weekend.
Those dazzling ticket sales rank as the third biggest domestic debut of the year behind ?Deadpool & Wolverine? ($211 million) and ?Inside Out 2? ($154 million). Among other benchmarks, ?Wicked? landed the fourth-biggest start in history for a musical, ahead of Disney?s recent ?The Little Mermaid? remake ($95.5 million) and behind ?Frozen II? ($130 million), as well as the best opening (by far) for a Broadway adaptation, overtaking the record held by 2014?s ?Into the Woods? ($31 million).
?Wicked? collected an additional $50.2 million at the international box office, bringing its global tally to $164.2 million. It marks the biggest worldwide opening for a film based on a Broadway show, supplanting another Universal musical, ?Les Miserables,? with $103 million in 2012.
?It?s a juggernaut,? says David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. ?Audiences are making the singing and costume experience their own.?
While ?Wicked? was courting women (nearly 75% of ticket buyers) and families, men turned out in force for Paramount?s R-rated ?Gladiator II,? the quarter-century-in-the-making sequel from director Ridley Scott. The bloody sword-and-sandal epic opened solidly in second place (though behind expectations) with $55.5 million from 3,573 cinemas over the weekend.
It?s unclear whether ?Wicked? and ?Gladiator II? fueled each other, la ?Barbenheimer,? an unexpected 2023 phenomenon in which tens of thousands of moviegoers opted for back-to-back screenings rather than choosing between Greta Gerwig?s ?Barbie? and Christopher Nolan?s ?Oppenheimer? ? or if ?Glicked? is just an effective case of counterprogramming. Either way, this weekend was one of the biggest of the year with approximately $210 million in overall revenues.

Meanwhile, I debated whether to see Anora this weekend at the second-run theater in town I ended up not going, but I will try to catch it this week before it leaves theaters. Like, I?m much more excited to see the awards-bait ?smaller? films. But I?m happy for Wicked and Gladiator II. I even think they?ll both end up with some awards nominations, especially in supporting categories. People are saying Ariana Grande could get nominated in supporting actress, and Denzel Washington might get some supporting actor noms. It?s always good when actors are nominated from films people have actually seen.
