Let's talk royals
If you’re never seen an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, then shame on you.
You can find the entire series on Hulu, so take that blanket of shame and binge on one the greatest comedy duos of our time.
Jennifer Saunders is taking the show to the big screen, and in the film’s second official trailer (just released today), Patsy Stone and Edina Monsoon find out that Kate Moss is looking for a new publicist.

First off, let me just say “Hurrah!” for the third installment of my favorite franchise (more so the books, because the movie version Bridget Jones’s Diary: The Edge of Reason was slightly crap. Love the first film, though).
Second, the movie doesn’t appear to follow the same storyline as Helen Fieldings’ book, Bridget’s Jones: Mad About The Boy. This may well be because of Mark Darcy’s fate in the book would have deterred audiences from seeing a movie version. [Read more…]
Oh, Margot Robbie. Gurl, we have so much to discuss.
The Australian (who is clearly not a monarchist, if the video below proves anything) appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon March 1st to promote her new movie, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Fallon likes to per-interview his guests before the show in an effort to find something interesting to talk about on air.
It just so happened that Robbie had a very entertaining story about a certain royal. [Read more…]
Today, veteran actor Alan Rickman, 69, passed away after a battle with cancer.
Rickman starred in countless movies during his career, including Dogma, Die Hard, Harry Potter, Sense and Sensibility, A Little Chaos and Love, Actually.
I found the above photo of Rickman meeting the Queen at a February 2014 reception for the dramatic arts, hosted by Her Majesty (patron of the organization) and the Duchess of Cambridge at Buckingham Palace.
That evening, Rickman was joined by other greats including Helen Mirren, Angela Lansbury and Stephen Fry.

London-based Dave Benett has been photographing celebrities and royalty since the eighties. While he initially stuck to news and sports when he started his career in the 1970s, Benett moved on to the highly entertaining world of the London party scene.
Benett told HELLO! that reps laid out the ground rules before giving him the go-head to snap their clients. “They said, ‘You have eight seconds to photograph them’, and that’s what we did. And they’re giggling and laughing and having a great time.”
His secret? [Read more…]
Fantasia Barrino hit the nail on the head when she wrote that book. Life really isn’t a fairytale. Neither party lived happily ever after once they stepped into that state landau, did they? Did we not learn anything from “The Real Housewives of Disney?”
Screen Junkies is doing the Lord’s work with their series, Honest Trailers, which teaches youngsters that the bedtime stories aren’t what they seem, this time with Cinderella. [Read more…]

Cressida Bonas covers Miss Vogue‘s April 2015 issue, and not only that, she stars in a black-and-white short film about dancing and twirling. I think. I had to watch it a few times because my eyes started crossing about 45 seconds into the first viewing. [Read more…]
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 to rest with a chocolate-covered message to her followers: [Read more…]
Bless 2015, for it could very well bring us the one thing we resolved to wish for.
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 and came back for a few anniversary episodes in 2012.
“I’ve finished the first draft. I’m feeling euphoric,” Sauders told the Daily Mirror (via the Telegraph). “My proper new year’s resolution is to do the film, otherwise it’ll be a pointless year of procrastination.” [Read more…]
