Prince William and Kate’s popularity hits bottom as new poll ‘paints a grim picture’

By

Spare might have helped Harry make millions, but it certainly made things between him and the rest of the royals worse.

Although they are not making any comments nor they are issuing statements regarding his all-tell memoir, rumors are that the members of the Firm are far from happy with the accusations brought up by Prince Harry.

For one, his book ruined his already weakened reputation among the people of Britain. However, as one would assume that Spare would help increase that of Prince and Princess of Wales, that’s not the case as recent survey shows that William and Kate’s popularity among the Brits decreased as well.

Among the many things he detailed in his book, Harry also spoke of William and Kate. Among the rest, he recalled the day William knocked him on the floor and challenged him to hit him back, but Harry refused to do so. He also opened up of the devastation which followed after he wasn’t invited to his brother’s home as often as he expected upon Prince George’s birth.

As of William and Kate’s wedding day, Harry wrote, “The public had been told that I was to be best man, but that was a bare-faced lie. The public expected me to be best man, and thus the Palace saw no choice but to say that I was. In truth, Willy didn’t want me giving a best-man speech. He didn’t think it safe to hand me a live mic and put me in a position to go off script. I might say something wildly inappropriate. He wasn’t wrong.”

He then added, “Also, the lie gave cover to James and Thomas, two civilians, two innocents. Had they been outed as Willy’s best men, the rabid press would’ve chased them, tracked them, hacked them, investigated them, ruined their families’ lives. Both chaps were shy, quiet. They couldn’t handle such an onslaught, and shouldn’t be expected to. Willy explained all this to me and I didn’t blink. I understood. We even had a laugh about it, speculating about the inappropriate things I might’ve said in my speech.”

Allegedly, William didn’t want to wear the uniform he wore on his big day and wanted to wear his Household Cavalry Uniform instead but the Queen didn’t approve so he ended up putting on the red uniform of the Irish Guards.

“I assured [William] that he looked bloody smart in the Harp of Ireland, with the Crown Imperial and the forage cap with the regimental motto: ‘Quis Separabit? Who shall separate us?’ It didn’t seem to make an impression. I, on the other hand, did not look smart, nor did I feel comfortable, in my Blues and Royals uniform, which protocol dictated that I wear. I’d never worn it before and hoped not to wear it again anytime soon,” Harry recalled.

“I recall Kate walking down the aisle, looking incredible, and I recall Willy walking her back up the aisle, and as they disappeared through the door, into the carriage that would convey them to Buckingham Palace, into the eternal partnership they’d pledged, I recall thinking: Goodbye,” Harry said.

Due to Harry and Meghan’s departure from the royal family as well as the many interviews in which they made plenty of accusations against the royals and Harry’s book being released, the Sussexes’ reputation went down from 80 percent a decade ago to only 24, with 68 percent of those surveyed being critical of him.

What comes as a surprise to many is that William and Kate’s reputation went down as well.

According to the recent YouGov poll, the Prince and Princess of Wales have received the “lowest figures on record.” They got 70 percent and 68 percent, respectively, which isn’t bad as numbers, but it does show significant decrease compared to previous years.

“Those hard workers over at YouGov have been at it though, polling Brits to find out how they are currently feeling about the House of Windsor. The numbers paint a grim picture for anyone with a personal cipher, notably William and Kate,” royal commentator Daniela Elser wrote in a column for the New Zealand Herald.

“Their net favourability sits at 49 percent for the Prince and 50 percent for the Princess. The lowest figures on record for the duo since polling started in 2011.”

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Spare will cause more trouble within the royal family?

Prince Harry fears for Charlotte and Louis’ future, worried they will end up ‘just like him’

By

Monica Pop

-

Prince Harry’s all-tell memoir Spare might easily become the best selling book of 2023 according to statistics and the fact that it was sold in 1.4 million copies across the States, UK, and Canada on the first day of its release. However, this success comes at a price as it is obvious that regardless of the fact that the royals stay quiet regarding the book, it will certainly affect the already damaged relationship between them and Harry.

In four months time, the world is about to witness King Charles’ coronation, an event that hasn’t taken place in Britain for over 70 years, the time late Queen Elizabeth reigned with the country.

According to the media, Harry and Meghan have been invited to the important milestone for the country, but not many believe they will attend it.

Royal historian Hugo Vickers, a friend of the royals, predicts that Harry won’t accept the invitation to his father’s coronation.

“Harry has made it clear that he has certain conditions before he will accept any invitation,” he told Page Six.

“It is always possible to reconcile if both parties are willing to do so. But I don’t think the Harry side will budge.

“He’s never wrong about anything. so that’s not a very good start … I do hope Harry won’t come, as it could deflect from the ceremony. After all, that’s why they don’t invite crowned Kings and Queens to a coronation.”

When saying this, Vickers is probably referring to Prince Harry’s recent interview with The Telegraph in which he claimed his family considered him “delusional and paranoid” and asked for an apology.

“There is a lot that can happen between now and then. But, you know, the door is always open. The ball is in their court,” Harry said when asked whether or not he will attend the ceremony which is to take place on the day of Archie’s birthday.

“There’s a lot to be discussed, and I really hope that they are willing to sit down and talk about it,” Harry added.

Royal sources claim that a reconciliation meeting is likely to take place, but it certainly needs to happen before the coronation.

“It’s going to take flexibility on all sides, but it can be done, it’s fixable,” the source said. “It needs Harry over here, in the room with the King and [Prince Williams], a couple of other family members, some of ‘his people’ he trusts who always had his back, so he doesn’t think he’s being ambushed. Someone like Elf [Ed Lane Fox, Harry’s former private secretary] and Christopher [Lord Geidt, the late Queen’s former private secretary who advised the Sussexes].”

Since the coronation is an important and definitely a joyous occasion, relationship expert Valon Asani shared with the Daily Express that it is as well the perfect time to make amends.

“The occasion of the coronation is cause for celebration as we celebrate the beginning of the King’s reign, and such a meaningful and happy occasion may be the perfect backdrop for reconciliation.”

Hopefully, this meeting will take place and it will help repair what needs to be repaired between Harry and the rest of the royals. Having in mind that Spare clearly made many furious, we hope there are still chances that things may turn for the better for the royals.

Among the rest, Harry spoke of his niece and nephews, saying that he wasn’t invited to William and Kate’s home as much as he wished to upon Prince George’s birth. Harry also spoke of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis and said that he fears they could “end up” just like him.

“Though William and I have talked about it once or twice, and he has made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility, I still feel a responsibility knowing that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare,” Harry said in an interview with The Telegraph.

“And that hurts, that worries me.

“I was brought into the world in case something happened to Willy, I was summoned to provide backup, distraction, diversion and, if necessary, a spare part. Kidney, perhaps. Blood transfusion. Speck of bone marrow. This was all made explicitly clear to me from the start of life’s journey and regularly reinforced thereafter.”

Although Harry’s book attracted both positive and negative opinions by the wide public and the royal experts, most of them agree that he shouldn’t have involved William and Kate’s children in it.

“Harry should lay off Prince William’s children. In fact, he should lay off everybody and button it now,” royal author Ingrid Seward told The Sun. “It is a very dangerous road to go down, to start talking about other people’s children.

“And what he says Prince William said to him is absolutely right – they are William’s responsibility and not his, so he should keep out of it.

“It is none of Harry’s business. But Harry has become dangerous to his family, and to himself, because he can lob in his little asides whenever he wants.”

‘I have to be ambulance-ready’ – Dolly Parton shares why she always has her makeup done

By

Monica Pop

Dolly Parton is without a doubt one of the most iconic singers that have ever walked this Earth.

She isn’t just a blond bombshell whose incredible looks mesmerized millions over the years, but also a strong woman with an incredible personality with a sense of humor and a big heart who has always spoken openly about everything in her life. And that is one of the reasons why her career spans that many years.

This country music legend who is a songwriter, businesswoman, and humanitarian among the rest, has given the world of country music a lot over the years.

When she fell in love with music, Parton was still just a child. She was part of the church choir and at the age of 10 she had already performed on local televisions. At 13, Parton made her debut on the national country radio station, Grand Ole Opry, earning about $20 a week.

“Music was such a large part of our whole family,” Parton recalled. “All of my mama’s people were musical. They all played some musical instrument. Of course, I took my music real serious, and I was always plucking along on somebody’s instrument — whatever they would leave lying around or whenever my family would come. But I always loved the guitar.”

She got her first guitar from her uncle.

“I had two uncles who played — Uncle Bill, who helped me get into the business, and Uncle Lewis, who was also a great guitar player,” she said. “He had this little Martin guitar that I loved, so when he saw how serious I was about my music, he gave me his little Martin guitar. It was my treasure.”

Not long after she graduated from high-school, Parton moved to Nashville and became a star.

Over the course of her career, Parton has written more than 3,000 songs, sold over 100 million albums, topped the country chart 25 times, and won a staggering eight Grammy Awards. What’s most, she shows no signs of slowing down.

“Almost every day I come up with a few song titles or a sweet melody,” Parton told BBC in 2016.

“I’m 16 in some ways. I’m still a hopeless romantic. But I’m 35 in my spirit and in my mind. When I was 35, it was a pinnacle, a great time in my life – success and happiness and all that. And so I just decided ‘I’m gonna claim that number and always be that in my state of mind.’”

When it comes to her looks, one thing is certain, Dolly Parton always looks stunning.

Being 77, Parton admits she has undergone certain procedures to enhance her looks. In fact, she has always spoken openly about it. Speaking to Larry King, she said she underwent a facelift, breast implants, liposuction, eye surgery, excess skin removal, lip injections, and botox, among other procedures.

“I don’t want to lie about it, so I’ve got to — I think sometimes it might help. You know, it’s not like — I mean, I look so totally artificial, you know, but I hopefully am totally real,” Parton said.

“I try to pick the best doctor, and I don’t do it that often,” she added about her plastic surgery.

“I just — I actually do it in little bits and pieces, because I don’t want to do a whole big drastic thing. I’ve never had, like, just the whole big thing done, because I don’t want to look like, you know, tighter than a banjo head.”

She always has her hair done and her makeup on because she loves looking beautiful all the time.

In fact, there is a reason why she always looks flawless.

“I have to always stay ready – street-ready, I always say,’ the country queen revealed in a 2020 interview with RuPaul for Marie Claire. “I have to keep my makeup on and keep my hair done.

“If it’s going to earthquake, if we get an earthquake, I’m not running out in the street looking like you look now. I have to be ambulance-ready at all times if I get sick or something.”

Kelly Ripa’s most recent health update

By

-

The new year hasn’t started the best for host Kelly Ripa who was forced to miss a couple installments of Live with Kelly and Ryan due to persistent illness.

Her fans got worried and kept wondering what was going on with Ripa who admitted that she’s been struggling to talk at work because of her voice.

Upon a visit to the doctor’s, the host was told, “Maybe you just have a random thing.”

Ripa posted a photo of herself from inside her home in New York City, sitting on the couch with her hand resting on her forehead, looking rather unhappy. “Day six of nothing wrong with me,” she wrote in the caption.

She spoken up about her slow loss of voice, telling Ryan Seacrest that it began after she hosted the show on Monday.

“Yesterday around two in the afternoon, my voice just departed the building,” she explained. “Because of this, Mark [Consuelos] told me, ‘Don’t worry, all you have to do is nod yes or no. Just look at me and nod.’ Following that, he asks, ‘What would you want to eat for dinner?’ which everyone in the studio thought was amusing.”

Ripa’s fans urged her to stay home until she finally feels better and ready to do what she does best, host an incredibly popular show which attracts plenty of viewers.

“Kelly, who is singing? What will you do to get over this? “Get better soon,” one person said. “Kelly Ripa’s voice is a complete disaster,” someone observed. “Girl, get out of here and have some chamomile tea on me,” while a third user said, “Today would have probably been one of those days to take off from @KellyRipa. If someone can’t talk, they shouldn’t be hosting a talk show; they should be at home with some hot tea and lemon. Man, step it up!”

We hope Ripa starts feeling better any time soon.

Leslie Jordan’s cause of death determined

By

Actor Leslie Jordan, best known for the portrayal of Beverley Leslie on Will & Grace, as well as several characters on television in the American Horror Story franchise, Sid on The Cool Kids, Phil on Call Me Kat, and Lonnie Garr on Hearts Afire, died on October 24, 2022 after he crashed into the side of a building at Cahuenga Blvd. and Romaine St.

A law enforcement representative suggested Leslie lost control over his vehicle before crashing into the building.

“The world is definitely a much darker place today without the love and light of Leslie Jordan,” the actor’s spokesperson said, as per NBC News. “Not only was he a mega talent and joy to work with, but he provided an emotional sanctuary to the nation at one of its most difficult times.”

Back then, it was reported by the Los Angeles Fire Department that at the time first responders arrived at the scene, Jordan was pulseless and wasn’t breathing. After they released him from the seatbelt, he was given CPR and then advanced life support measures by the paramedics for over 40 minutes. Sadly, there was no change in his vital signs and he was declared dead at the scene.

At the time of the tragic accident, media outlets wrote that the crashing followed after certain medical emergency, but it wasn’t until now that the real cause of Jordan’s death has been determined.

The LA coroner confirmed that the 67-year-old actor suffered from a sudden cardiac dysfunction and arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which resulted in a crash.

Similar to a cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac dysfunction occurs when there is a malfunction in the electrical system of the heart. This causes the heart to beat dangerously and extremely fast, also known as ventricular fibrillation. Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, on the other hand, is the buildup of cholesterol, fats or other substances in the arteries. This buildup is often called plaque and can cause arteries to narrow, block blood flow, and lead to a blood clot.

During the pandemic, Jordan reached a new kind of fame, especially with the younger population, with his witty posts and silly videos. He gained millions of followers on social media and was dubbed a media phenomenon.

“I didn’t realize (I blew up) until last night when everybody started calling me telling me you’ve gone viral,” he told TODAY in March 2020. “I don’t really even know what that means!”

Leslie Jordan truly was a source of light for many. May he rest in peace.

Amy Grant’s scary bike accident left her with head injury which is giving her trouble

By

Monica Pop

-

Over the summer, singer Amy Grant was hospitalized following a scary bike accident.

The Baby, Baby singer fell off her bike after hitting a pothole in Nashville in July, 2022. She was left unconscious for around 10 minutes and took around three months to regain her strength. She was even forced to postpone some of her concerts and only started performing three months later, in November.

Recently, Grant opened up about her condition and revealed that the accident affected her memory and that she was forced to use teleprompter to remember the lyrics to her own songs.

“My memory is still coming back, and the stamina, they say 12-18 months after an injury like that,” Grant told E! News before a performance on January of this year. “Six months in, so I feel really good! I anticipate just getting better.

“So far, right now, I use a teleprompter,” she added. “There’s one tonight. I’m so glad. I used a teleprompter on the Christmas Tour.”

In another interview, with Fox News, 62-year-old Grant said, “Honestly, I can’t remember what I don’t remember. So, I was at dinner the other night with a high school friend. We used to spend the night at each other’s houses. I said, ‘I’m embarrassed to ask you, are you and your husband still together?’ She said that Douglas died seven years ago, and it was like I had just heard it for the first time!”

This wasn’t the first time that Grant spoke of her healing.

“Last week was my first time back on stage, and I can’t think of a more gentle way to get back into the limelight than doing a Christmas concert with my dear friend Michael W. Smith,” Grant said while she attended the 45th Kennedy Center Honors.

“I was nervous that first day. I forgot lyrics to songs that I wrote. I’m just on a healing journey, but this time here. You know, love and kindness is also very healing, and I’m not kidding – I feel filled up from head to toe,” she said.

She then added that it is her husband, Vince Hill, who is her biggest support.

“He has just been so patient.” She added, “Vince has a kind of way of grounding the space that we’re in even without saying a word.

“I think early on I said, ‘What if I’m different, what if I’m not the same?’ and he said, ‘Hey, every day we wake up a little different, and we love each other, and it’s good.’”

She then added, “I feel like my old rascally self.”

We hope Grant would be able to regain her memory back completely and she won’t be experiencing issues in the future.

Mom notices something’s wrong when giving birth – 25 years later her daughter is still mistaken for a child

By

Monica Pop

-

Before Michelle Kish was welcomed into the world, nothing spoke trouble. During each ultrasound, parents Mary and Brad were told that their baby daughter was perfectly fine and the pregnancy was a smooth one as well.

However, when Michelle was born, doctors immediately knew that something wasn’t right. Her face was a bit strange and her nose was so tiny that it resembled bird’s peak.

After running tests and consulting specialists from other hospitals, they were able to diagnose Michelle, and the news wasn’t pretty. She had Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, a genetic disease so rare that there are only 250 known cases worldwide.

”No one had ever seen it in person at Children’s Memorial Hospital, where Michelle was born. When the doctor gave us the diagnosis of Hallermann-Streiff syndrome my heart sank. I was worried how are we going to care for our child who had a rare genetic disorder that was one in five million,” Michelle’s mom told Daily Mail.

The condition is characterized by 28 symptoms, and sadly, Michelle has 26 of them.

Among the rest, she relies on electric wheelchair, hearing aid, probe, respirator, and visual aids.

Besides having Hallermann-Streiff syndrome, Michelle also suffers from a form of dwarfism, which affects her growth. Although she’s 25, she is often mistaken for a young child because of her petite appearance.

“Now Michelle is a 20-year-old woman, she is smart as a poodle and she is happier than ever. She is one of the happiest 20-year-olds I know,” mom Mary told the Daily Mail in 2018.

“She enlightens people’s lives with their joy. She knows she’s different but doesn’t let it break her down.”

Michelle dreams of becoming a doctor one day and is living her life to the fullest. She would really want to have a boyfriend, just like her sister.

To learn more of her incredible life and bubbly personality take a look at the video below.

Brad Paisley bad news

By

-

Having sold over 11 million albums over the years and earning multiple awards, including 3 Grammy Awards, 2 American Music Awards, 14 Country Music Association Awards, and 14 Academy of Country Music Awards among the rest, it doesn’t come as a surprise that singer-songwriter Brad Paisley is one of the most famous names in the world of country music.

Paisley was born in 1972 and he’s currently married to wife Kimberly Williams and is a father of two.

In recent years, there have been many stories surrounding Paisley’s health condition.

Media outlets claimed that the singer was diagnosed with brain tumor and needed to undergo a surgery.

Allegedly, he has also suffered severe stomach pain and was admitted to hospital after he started vomiting blood.

Neither the singer nor a representative confirmed these rumors to be true, and according to Paisley’s official website where he announces the tours he has scheduled for this year, we guess these rumors are exactly that…just rumors.

Paisley, who is worth around $65 million as per Celebrity Net Worth, lives in Tennessee with his family.

We truly hope Paisley’s health is in perfect condition and we wish him many more successful years and tours.
