Today, the Duchess of Cambridge visited the “Downton Abbey” set at Ealing Studios in London, where she toured the trailers, set and accepted a cake made by Daisy (Sophie McShera) and Mrs. Patmore (Leslie Nicol). “She spent the longest time in the kitchen, so me and Lesley [Nicol, who plays head cook Mrs. Patmore] are…
Yes, we may have been more than a little excited at the prospect of tea towels bearing the name “Hermione, Countess of Muggleton.” Instead, we took the high road and chose not to believe Woman’s Day‘s claims that Emma Watson and Prince Harry had been on “secret dates.” This morning, Watson gently put those rumors…
Back in October it was announced that Kristin Scott Thomas would portray Queen Elizabeth II in The Audience, a role famously originated by Dame Helen Mirren. The play’s London run was so hugely successfully that Mirren took it to Broadway. “I was so pleased to be asked to play The Queen in Peter Morgan’s brilliant…
If you subscribe to Netflix, an image of Cillian Murphy with a ridiculous haircut has most likely passed your screen. You’re already kinda freaked out by his piercing blue eyes and angular jaw, so it doesn’t help that he stars in a show with a name like Peaky Blinders. What is that, a fetishy peep…
It’s Golden Globes weekend in Los Angeles, which draws a cast of thousands to Los Angeles for pre-parties, post-parties and everything in between. Last night at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, BAFTA hosted their annual tea party. Guess who joined nominees and other famous faces? One Cressida Bonas, she who we once tried…

British comedienne Jennifer Saunders, she of “Absolutely Fabulous” and “Viva Forever” fame (ignore the latter’s scathing reviews) has finished a first draft for the movie version of “Ab Fab,” the hugely successful BBC comedy that premiered in 1992…
Guys, I’m kind of jazzed about E!’s new series, The Royals (premieres March 15th). It looks smutty and plays out like a modern-day monarchy’s nightmare. Basically it’s Knots Landing with inheritance laws and priceless heirlooms. Elizabeth Hurley plays Queen Helena (I hope she’s a consort because there’s a King Simon. If that’s not the case, someone…
“Downton Abbey” imagined a world in which Lord Grantham (and his stupid decisions) didn’t exist, and I must say I much prefer order on the estate as opposed to what might have been. In a parody produced by ITV to raise money for different charities, Lord Grantham receives a telegram confirming that yet another investment…
Page Six broke the news earlier this week that Pippa Middleton is thisclose to signing on as a Today correspondent. Photos of Middleton and a film crew in Wyoming further fueled those reports, which claimed that NBC may pay her between $500,000 and $600,000.
If there’s anything the Brits know how to do, it’s comedy. Case-in-point: BBC America’s faux reality series, “Almost Royal,” which follows aristocratic siblings Poppy and Georgie Carlton on a tour of the USA. Though the trip was brought on by tragic circumstances (their father accidentally shot himself when a bullet from his hunting rifle ricocheted off…
