To millions, it appeared to be the reality for Princess Diana, Kate Middleton, and Meghan Markle. By making the fairy tale feel real, the royal family appears far more accessible — and the British tabloids are more than happy to help. David Levenson/Getty ImagesMeghan and Harry's royal tour of Australia 35 years later stirred up those same bitter feelings among the royal family, the prince recalled in "Harry & Meghan." Princess Diana. More often than not, the princesses marrying into the royal family earn the public's loyalty and love, not those born into the monarchy.

Joe Pugliese/Harpo ProductionsThe couple said that some royal family members expressed concerns about how dark Archie's skin would be before he was born, and that Meghan felt suicidal due to constant bombardment from British tabloids. Meghan also said that she was "silenced" by the royal family, unable to defend herself against numerous false reports while other family members' reputations were prioritized. "Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately," the statement said.

For decades, America has followed Oprah through every major weight loss trend, and this was no exception. She later deeply regretted such a stunt, calling it a “Big, big, big, big, big, big, big mistake!”In 1994, Oprah ran her first marathon to celebrate her 40th birthday. It raised questions about Oprah taking medical weight loss drugs such as Ozempic or Wegovy. She later deeply regretted such a stunt, calling it a “Big, big, big, big, big, big, big mistake!” Charles Bennet/APWith Oprah stepping down, many people will lose their measure or point of reference for what is ahead or behind the curve as it relates to their weight and health. One might also ask what it means for the nation’s preeminent Black history museum to be economically tethered to a weight loss company.

☆ 5 reasons to be unapologetically thrilled about this year’s Oscar nominations
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-28 | by ( Dan Heching | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

CNN —The nominations for the 96th Academy Awards were revealed last week and – as they so often do – caused quite a stir. Co-written and directed by Triet, “Anatomy of a Fall” is nominated for five Oscars this year in total, including for best original screenplay and best picture. That gives Williams more Academy Award nominations than any other living person. According to the Academy, the late Walt Disney holds the overall record of career nominations, with a grand total of 59. Still, it seemed to be a role destined for Brooks, who received a Tony Award nomination in 2016 for playing the same character in the Broadway revival of the musical.

“She’s always had such a regal reverence and a curiosity about dance from all over the world,” he said. Her hip-hop and R&B pedigree is evident in neck swivels and shoulder shimmies that connect TikTok dances to their 20th-century lineage. Some of the songs were sped up to match her moves, Sanders said. He also wrote songs for the movie, including a beat-driven work anthem for Harpo, Mister’s son (Corey Hawkins). During Bazawule’s presentation — via video during the height of covid — “I literally texted Oprah,” Sanders recalled.

Or, rather, the world is unleashed upon him.

☆ Oprah Winfrey almost turned down her first TV job—how a college professor changed her mind
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-06 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Oprah Winfrey has a highly decorated media career, winning 20 Emmy awards, a Tony award and a Peabody award, amongst many others. These feats may not have happened, however, if it wasn't for a reality check from a college professor. Winfrey, 69, started her sophomore year with a career in education in mind, she told 2023 graduates at Tennessee State University, her alma mater, during her commencement speech on Saturday. When Winfrey told her professor, he looked at her "as if I didn't have a brain that God gave lettuce," she said. "At no time did I ever feel out of place or not enough or inadequate or an imposter," she said.

Prince Harry with Meghan Markle appeared in public together for the first time at the Invictus Games in Toronto. Aside from showing the story of their courtship, the six episodes of “Harry & Meghan” also look set to highlight long-running grievances that have roiled Britain's royal family for years. The British tabloids have intensely scrutinized Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, publishing stories about her estranged family following her engagement and marriage to Harry in May 2018. In addition, Harry is challenging in court a decision by the British government to deny him police protection while in Britain. “In the Netflix trailer it’s implied the photographers, including me, were trying to get a shot of the royal couple — but that’s nonsense,” he told the tabloid.
