Gossip With Celebitchy

Royals: Minutes 0 to 27:45
We skipped the introduction this week due to the breaking news about the Sussexes moving to the UK. Harry and Meghan are moving to England "for an extended period beginning this month" and have enrolled Archie and Lili in school there. They're not going to be returning to royal duties at all. We wonder what is driving their decision. This could be a tax or immigration issue for Harry. We've also heard that Charles may be sicker than we know.

Sources are saying that Harry and Meghan only decided in early August to...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:30
I saw Backrooms, Masters of the Universe and Disclosure Day. Chandra saw The Drama and thought it was overrated. She also finished the show The Other Bennet Sister.

Prince Harry and his co-plaintiffs, including Elizabeth Hurley and Sir Elton John, lost their case against Associated Newspapers for hacking. The suit was filed in 2022 and alleges that The Daily Mail wiretapped, bugged and used illegal methods to get information for stories. The judge in the case was a former barrister/lawyer who represented The Mirror, so he definitely had a...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:40

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:45 This awards season was long due to the Winter Olympics. We enjoyed it other than the BAFTAs. We're so glad Michael B. Jordan won Best Actor but are bummed that Sinners didn't win Best Picture. This awards season had a good vibe and the Oscars were entertaining.

Chappell Roan: Minutes 6:45 to 24:00 The big story this week was about Chappell Roan's bodyguard harassing an 11-year-old girl and her mother at a hotel in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:15
Chandra is really into the musician Sombr. Here's a link to his Variety interview that Chandra mentioned and his song Back to Friends. We're both watching Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette. We love the music and the setting really brings us back to the 90s. The actors, especially the leads Sarah Pidgeon and Paul Anthony Kelly, are doing a great job. They also got the hair and fashion right after early test images were widely criticized. I think they did the Jackie Kennedy and Daryl Hannah characters dirty.

BAFTAs...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 1:45

Prince Andrew was arrested at Wood Farm in Sandringhham on Thursday for "suspicions of misconduct in public office."

Last weekend French President Macron made a state visit to the UK. Will and Kate were only there to welcome the Macrons.

William did not wear the Windsor men's uniform including red cloth on the collar and we learned that was deliberate...

She recommends them all except for Echo Valley. We both love Murderbot. We talk about Anna Wintour's announcement that she's stepping down as editor for American Vogue.

Royals: Minutes (8:30) to 29:45 We found Meghan's Confessions of a Female Founder podcast informative and...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 8:45

Trump won the election and it was a shock to put it lightly. We both believed that Kamala Harris was going to win. She ran an impeccable campaign. She was so on message, she was clear about her objectives, she had a literal to-do list and she emphasized inclusion and moving forward together. We're so disappointed in people. Here's the tweet...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:45
Chandra and I both watched The Perfect Couple and loved it! Chandra also loved the fourth season of Emily in Paris. 

Royals: Minutes (5:45) to 24:15
After our last podcast Kate released a video with her family announcing that she was cancer free. It was self absorbed and the British media criticized her for it. King Charles is said to have disapproved too. It was reportedly Kate's idea, which makes a lot of sense.

There were stories after that about how we weren't going to see Kate for a while and how h...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 4:15

The Sussexes did a great job making photos...

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni: Minutes 7:15 to 18:45 Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are costarring in the film This Ends with Us. The book is by Colleen Hoover and it's been criticized as romanticizing domestic abuse. I've read that the movie does the same thing.

I loved the Fall Guy and am on the second season of AMC's Interview with the Vampire. Chandra enjoyed Challengers.

Royals: Minutes 6:15 to 21:30
We've talked for years about this common narrative from the British Press where they'll come up with something the Sussexes need to attend and cover it endlessly. They've done this with Hugh Grosvenor's wedding since the invitations went out in December. Roya Nikkhah, a journalist who regularly gets exclusives from William, reported in The Times that Harry and Meghan weren't invited, which was not true. Then we heard that...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 4:45

Our last episode, #171, was two weeks ago. We had just seen the video of Princess Kate revealing that she had cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. We were hit with over a hundred comments from new accounts all saying variations of the same thing right after that video was released. Christopher Bouzy has called out the bots on Twitter. The NY Times published an article in early 2020...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:15 We will be off for a couple of weeks due to Easter. I watched Dream Scenario on HBO with Nicolas Cage. He's a great actor but I don't recommend it.

It was about 70 days after we last saw Kate before we got the first alleged photo of her. That was the photo supposedly taken of her on Monday March 4th in an Audi with her mom, outside...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 7:30 The Oscars are next weekend so we won't have a podcast unless something huge breaks. Since we last talked Chandra and I both saw American Fiction, that was my favorite. Chandra liked it but wanted it to focus more on Issa Rae's character. She thought The Zone of Interest was very disturbing, but loved Poor Things. She is also...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:45 I cut my finger and needed stitches. I saw the movie Chandra recommended in our last episode, Anatomy of a Fall, and loved it. May December was OK. I really liked Nyad and it inspired me to work out. We're looking forward to seeing Poor Things and American Fiction.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 10:00
We'll be off next week due to the Emmy Awards. I have been watching dumb shows like a mini golf competition show called Holey Moley. Chandra watched so many of the prestigious movies over the break including Killers of the Flower Moon, Priscilla, The Holdovers, Saltburn, Past Lives, Asteroid City, Joy Ride, Anatomy of a Fall, Oppenheimer and the Indiana Jones movie! She loved Anatomy of a Fall and is rooting for that movie. It's a character story and legal drama with a smart script. She also liked The Holdovers and Oppenheimer, but hated Killers...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00 This is our last podcast of 2023 and we plan to be back January 13. I watched The Happiest Season on Hulu and loved it.

Royals: Minutes (6:00) to 24:00
As we mentioned last week, the Dutch translation of Omid Scobie's Endgame named the racist royals who had concerns about the baby's skin color. Harry and Meghan first mentioned that in their Oprah interview and did not name the royal racists. To recap, Meghan named the two royal...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00
We'll have episodes out for the next two weeks and we'll be off for two or more weeks for the holidays. Last week I named the podcast #162 when it was actually #163.

The Earthshot Awards and the Kenyan Tour were flops. King Charles had his 75th birthday on November 14th. Courtiers told Roya Nikkhah at the Times that Charles invited Harry to his 75th birthday party but Harry "snubbed" the invite. This was an obvious move by the palace to deflect from the...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00
We'll be off next week. Chandra thinks the gossip will pick up when The Crown and Omid Scobie's book come out. I've been watching The Fall of the House of Usher. Chandra can't do ghosts or body horror. Chandra watched the Beckham series and loved it.

We're getting more details about the bankruptcy of the Middleton's business, Party Pieces. We talked about that in episode 153. Someone has been putting up posters in Bucklebury where the Middletons live calling them out for stiffing creditors and suppliers. We're wondering why there...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 3:30 We should have an episode out next week and then we'll be off on October 28th. I recently discovered a British woman on YouTube who feeds the foxes in her suburban neighborhood. I also love videos of huskies. Here's a link to the video I mention where the husky is complaining and the German Shepherd is chill. (The husky has since passed over the rainbow bridge.) Here's a link to the video Chandra mentions of the Husky who refuses to come in after it snowed. Chandra loves this interview with Daniil Medvedev from after he beat...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00
I've been watching Encounters on Netflix! Chandra is watching a friend's cat and it's being naughty.

Royals: Minutes (6:00) to 19:45
The British press is making excuses for why Kate can't go to Singapore for the Earthshot Awards. They're saying that she's a reluctant traveler, that she is focused on her kids and has to stay back because that's the week George has some kind of qualifying test for school. Kate made sure to mention this at an event. We think this is just an excuse.

Robert Jobson reported in the Daily...

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:00

The Invictus Games always make the royals look bad because Harry's work is impactful a...

The Invictus Games are coming up in Dusseldorf with competitions starting this Sunday September 10th. We record on Thursday afternoons. At that point Harry was in the UK to attend the WellChild Awards, although he did it in stealth mode and we didn't know when he arrived. We've heard that Meghan isn't coming to the Invictus Games until later in the competition.

Now that Harry is in the...
