Kate Middleton stole spotlight from King Charles with royal visit: report

DailyMail revealed.“It’s a shame that his visit with [Queen Camilla] received less coverage than it might have expected to,” they disclosed to the publication. “I hope they are not too disappointed.”Camilla, 75, and Charles, 74, attended the sweet-scented botany bash as Middleton made a surprise stopover on Monday.The sources also noted that the high amount of press coverage given to Middleton may find Charles to feel “eclipsed” by his daughter-in-law.Charles had previously felt that others stole the limelight from him, especially when he was married to the late Princess Diana.The pair were married from 1981 until 1996, with Lady Di’s face often being splashed across the front pages.Andrew Morton, author of the 1992 biography “Diana: Her True Story,” explained to Insider last year how Diana was usually “the star of the show.”The writer added that Diana “never minded the personal difficulties” she had with Charles behind closed doors.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Star Lala Kent on Being Right About the #Scandoval: ‘That’s Why I Feel So Vindicated’

Louis Staples It was an earthquake that broke the pop-cultural Richter scale: the revelation that “Vanderpump Rules”stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss were having a secret seven-month affair behind the backs of their closest friends. But there was one of their co-stars who didn’t find the news of the affair quite so shocking: Lala Kent. Kent was the first cast member to suspect that Sandoval was cheating on Ariana Madix, his girlfriend of nine years. Madix found out herself when she discovered an explicit video on Sandoval’s phone, and, as Variety detailed in a May 17 interview with “Vanderpump Rules” executive producer Alex Baskin, by the time TMZ broke the story on March 3, Bravo’s cameras were already at the Valley Village home she and Sandoval share to capture the fallout. Those astonishing scenes aired during last week’s season finale.

Fetty Wap Sentenced to Six Years in Prison on Federal Drug Charge

Thania Garcia Fetty Wap was sentenced to six years in federal prison on Wednesday in connection to a drug conspiracy charge that claims he was trafficking narcotics across the country. The “Trap Queen” rapper was also ordered to five years of supervision after his prison sentence ends. The six-year sentence is one year longer than the minimum, according to The New York Times. Prosecutors had argued for the New Jersey-born rapper to serve a longer term in a letter addressed to the judge last week, urging that Fetty Wap (real name Willie Junior Maxwell II) had used his fame to “glamorize the drug trade” while making a wealthy living from his music. The letter made reference to one of his music videos to support the claim.
