Talk about poise under pressure! With less than a day's notice, the Duchess of Cambridge (formerly known as Kate Middleton) was informed that she would be representing her hubby's father, Prince Charles, at a charity dinner in London on Wednesday night.
Despite initially trying to keep everything hush-hush and politically correct, the real reason why Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split after a quarter of a century together finally came out this week. Turns out, the former governor had fathered a love child more than a decade ago with a former member of their household staff (she retired after 20 years in January). Although the Australian actor's behavior is appalling, especially since so many saw the Schwarzennegger-Schriver marriage as iconic, the bodybuilder is certainly not alone in his actions. In fact, he's not even the first politican to be in this situation. In honor of Arnold's recent secret baby daddy confession, here are a few other famous love children who were minus one (publicly acknolwedged) parent at birth. You may not recognize them, but you probably know who their missing father is.
With just over a week to go until the Royal Wedding finally takes place on April 29, the media is abuzz with covering every last detail of the highly anticipated event. Across the pond in American, we are absolutely eating it up, and rightfully so—who hasn't dreamed of some day finding a prince or princess? Apparently, not everyone.
After Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement to the world in November 2010, the couple sat down for their first in-depth interview. While Kate seemed as poised and earnest as one might expect a future princess to behave, she seemed a bit uncomfortable when asked about following in the footsteps of the late Princess Diana, whose blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring rested on her finger. Luckily, her prince came to the rescue, claiming that no one was trying to fill his mother’s shoes. But despite William’s assertion that Kate would “carve out her own path,” comparisons between the two women are inevitable. So did William choose a wife that reminded him of his much-loved mother? Or are Diana and Kate as different as London and Manchester?
This weekend, Kate Middleton got to know her future royal family a little better at the wedding of a close friend of her fiance, Prince William. People reports that Middleton and Prince William joined Prince Harry, Princess Beatrice and Middleton’s future in-laws at the wedding of Harry Aubrey-Fletcher to the Honorable Sarah Louise Stourton on Saturday. Kate Middleton, who turned 29 on Sunday, will get married to Prince William on April 29 at Westminster Abbey. What are some ways to impress your future family? Cupid’s Advice:
We’ve got good news for any of you ladies out there who are still secretly hoping to become a real-life princess: While Kate Middleton has seemingly latched her claws into Prince William for good, Prince Harry, however, is back on the market! The 26-year-old “spare” prince reportedly ended his 5-year relationship with girlfriend Chelsy Davy, 24, after she decided to abandon her plans to work at a law firm in London and move back to home to South Africa. It seems that the long-distance aspect of their relationship proved to be too difficult for the couple, especially as Harry’s military career as a helicopter pilot left him little time for romance.
When it comes to weddings, celebrities are not frugal, DIY-ers. And while some of the elements may be the same (there’s always a crazy wedding dress and an even crazier cake), the celebrity weddings below could rival the the average GDP of some cities in cost.
With the news that Dean Sheremet, LeAnn Rimes's cuckolded husband, is sharing woes with the estranged wife of LeAnn's boyfriend Eddie Cibrian, Brandi Glanville, we thought we'd take a look at a few other famous spouses who came out on top after their honeys cheated.
Nick Cannon picked out an 8-week-old Jack Russell terrier named Cha-Cha as a gift for his wife, Mariah Carey, for their first anniversary, which is in May. "We never went on a honeymoon," Nick told Us Weekly, "so I guess I can tell you we'll probably go to Barbados."
It looks like Prince William and Kate Middleton may be getting slightly more serious after 6 years of dating. Rumor has it that she is semi-officially moving in with him at his RAF base in Shropshire. This cohabitation is a far cry from the breakups that these two regularly appear to have. Not as far from breaking up as marriage, but maybe it's a start. Now what are we going to do with Prince Harry?
There has been a touch of controversy in the United Kingdom. It turns out that the Marriage Act of 1836 requires a member of the royal family to have a church wedding rather than a civil service. And it looks like Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were not married in a traditional scenario. Eesh. Let's hope someone figures this out pronto. We'd hate to see Prince Charles living in sin.
