Kate Middleton To Read Book On ‘CBeebies Bedtime Story’

Wendy Williams is fighting for her money.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are one of the most famous couples in the UK – and around the world – meaning they've gotten used to cameras following them everywhere they go. Prince William, 39, and Kate, 40, are rarely absent from the headlines, but there was once a point where they managed to live a more private life. For a short period of time between 2010 and 2013, the couple resided on Anglesey, an island on the northwest coast of Wales.

Kate Middleton underwent elocution lessons to sound "more regal" before marrying Prince William, a royal expert has claimed.The claim has been made ahead of the 40 year old's appearance on CBeebies Bedtime Stories on Sunday, when she will read The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark to children watching across the nation. And while the Duchess of Cambridge was always well spoken, royal expert Duncan Larcombe says she didn't always sound the way she does now.

Many a child has had a birthday card shout-out on CBeebies and today the channel is celebrating a milestone of its own after 20 years on air.

Kate Middleton tries to help children to confront their fears 'with the help of others' during her CBeebies bedtime story.

Chernobyl.Independent councillor Paul Hayhurst made the comment during a debate about devolution when he warned "prosperous" Fylde faced being swallowed up by Blackpool which “looks like Chernobyl no matter how much money you put in there.”Chernobyl, for those of you in the back, is famously the site of the 1986 Soviet nuclear disaster which has left the city irradiated and abandoned to this day.Naturally, Councillor Hayhurt's comments went down like a cup of warm sick over in the seaside resort.LancsLive reports that he was branded "disrespectful" and "sour grapes" in response by Blackpool Council’s Labour leader Lynn Williams.To matters even more insensitive, Blackpool resort regularly hosts children for holidays from Belarus, where families are still feeling the after effects of the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power station.Coun Hayhurst's outburst came due to new recommendations for Fylde to support plans for a Lancashire-wide deal where authorities would work together to bid for government funding.He said: “I am convinced on that basis that the more co-operation we have with our neighbours down the road, the more this area is going to suffer.”He added: “Our friends down the road, the bottomless pit, could swallow £5bn overnight and it would still look like Chernobyl."Blackpool needs probably half its hotels knocking down and instead of rebuilding on greenfield sites, it needs redeveloping because it’s never going to be the sort of place it was in the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s.”He added Fylde was "a prosperous borough" while Blackpool “looks like Chernobyl no matter how much money you put in there.”But Coun Williams hit back and said Coun Hayhurst had clearly not visited the resort for a while.In a statement in

It’s hard to imagine now, so long after it was released, that anyone would have been able to step into the roles of Max and Furiosa in “Mad Max: Fury Road,” like Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron were able to do. However, like almost every other film ever created, there was a time when the filmmakers were trying to narrow down who exactly would be the best actors for the job.

“Mad Max: Fury Road.”But what would the post-apocalyptic flick have been like if Michael Fassbender, Jeremy Renner, Armie Hammer or Joel Kinnaman took on the part?Writer Kyle Buchanan’s new book, “Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road,” is full of tidbits about the making of the film — including an allegation that when Hammer, 35, and Hardy, 44, auditioned for the role together, things got a little … wet. An excerpt was published by Vulture on Wednesday, in which Buchanan wrote that Hardy reportedly slobbered all over the embattled “Death on the Nile” star.“Near the end of the process, Hardy emerged as a front-runner alongside Jeremy Renner and Armie Hammer.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is one of the best action films of the last decade. But not only is the on-screen action and story incredibly interesting, but over the years, we’ve heard more and more behind-the-scenes tales that make it seem as if the drama behind the camera was almost just as fascinating.

Prince William and Kate Middleton aren’t shy of celebrating Valentine’s Day, but they haven’t always spent it together. Back in 2012, the newlyweds (who married in April the previous year) had to endure the occasion 7,500 miles apart! William was in the Falklands on duty, while Kate took on a royal engagement in Liverpool.

Tom Hardy has revealed that he spat at Armie Hammer during his audition for Mad Max: Fury Road.The actor, who portrayed protagonist Max Rockatansky in the 2015 film, was competing for the lead role against Hammer when he got so into character that he gnashed his teeth and spat at his scene partner [via Vulture].Hammer, who had emerged as a front-runner alongside Hardy and Jeremy Renner, told director George Miller that Hardy needed to play Max more than he did.Audition cameraman Todd Matthew Grossman spoke in the forthcoming book Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road about Hardy’s presence. “Jeremy and Armie were equally wonderful, but there was something about Tom in the room where it felt like that was Max, without a doubt,” he said.“[Hardy] had that kind of suppressed emotional dryness that you’d find in a post-apocalypse and, buried underneath it, disdain for the world.

Eminem and Rihanna were both considered for major roles in the film Mad Max: Fury Road, according to a new book.The 2015 film, which was co-written, co-produced and directed by George Miller, starred the likes of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult.A new book by writer Kyle Buchanan about the film, Blood, Sweat & Chrome: The Wild and True Story of ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’, has now lifted the lid on how Miller and casting director Ronna Kress auditioned an array of talent for the film.“The whole process of casting Max took close to a year,” Kress says in the book, an extract of which has now been published on Vulture.

It’s tough to imagine any other actor than Tom Hardy in the title role of “Mad Max: Fury Road”, but there was some tough competition for the role.
