Prince Harry Adds to a Long Line of Royal Scandals – Part 3

This is a continuing blog about royal families and scandals. Prince Harry is the latest royal in hot water, but the Monaco’s House of Grimaldi has certainly had its share of tragedies and scandals. American actress Grace Kelly married Monaco’s Prince Rainer III in 1956 in a fairy tale wedding. The couple had a seemingly happy marriage which produced three children – Princess Caroline, Prince Albert, and Princess Stephanie. However, tragedy struck in 1982 when Princess Grace died after a car wreck. Her daughter Stephanie was with her and rumors were that Stephanie was driving when the car careened down … Continue reading →

Prince William Speaks Out Against Poaching

We all know how altruistic Princess Diana was. I remember how before her death, she campaigned for many charities including those for the homeless, sick, elderly, and children. She also toured land mines in Angola – pretty uncharacteristic for a princess if you ask me. Earlier this week, I blogged about Prince Charles and how he narrated a new documentary titled Harmony: A New Way of Looking At Our World, in which he talks about ways to stop climate change and find new ways to protect our environment. So, with two parents so involved in social issues, how could Prince … Continue reading →

Prince William Gets Engaged

The Brits have often referred to her as “Waitey Katie” but now it seems like Kate Middleton may have the last laugh as it was announced today that she and Prince William are engaged to be married. The prince proposed last month while the two vacationed in Kenya. They are expected to give an interview later today. The two made their first public appearance as a newly engaged couple today. William gave Middleton his mother’s oval blue sapphire engagement ring as a way of making sure “my mother didn’t miss out on today,” he said. Their wedding, scheduled for spring … Continue reading →

“Princess and the Frog” Hints at New Era for Disney

For the past decade, Disney Animation has meant little without Pixar. All of the sharp storytelling and visual artistry that made Walt Disney famous came not from the studio he started, but from a company originally founded by George Lucas. Some movies made in that time stood out, such as “Lilo and Stitch” and “Enchanted.” But they never quite achieved the magic Disney had lost. By 2004, Disney altogether stopped making hand-drawn animated movies. “Princess and the Frog” restores the glimmer of Disney’s previous glory to a respectable glow. The movie isn’t perfect, but the studio’s finally returning to form. … Continue reading →

It’s Twins for Molly Ringwald and a Break Up for Prince Harry

Falling under my “Better Her than Me” category, I just read that actress and ‘80s sensation Molly Ringwald is expecting twins. I find it hard to believe that the Ringwald is even old enough to have children. Yes, I know, I probably watched Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club too much, but the now 40 year old Ringwald is expecting twins with her husband Panio Gianopoulos. The couple already has a five year old daughter Mathilda Ereni. Right now, Molly is starring in the ABC Family show “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” which deals with teen pregnancy. Molly … Continue reading →

Raising Helen (2004)

In “Raising Helen,” Helen Harris (Kate Hudson) is a career woman first and foremost. As the executive assistant to Dominique, owner of a huge modeling agency, she’s always on the go, on top of things, and very in demand. Her nightlife is also busy, as she entertains clients. She makes time for her family, whom she loves dearly, especially her sister Lindsay (Felicity Huffman). Her other sister, Abby (Joan Cusack) is also important to her, but they’ve never really clicked. Tragedy strikes when Lindsay and her husband are killed in a car accident, leaving behind their three children. When it’s … Continue reading →

Charitable Celebs Lending a Hand

Alec Baldwin is at it again. This time the outspoken actor (also known as an “enthusiastic” Democrat who likes to comment on political matters) is taking on New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. More specifically the mayor’s homelessness policies. The “30 Rock” star just lent his voice to a public service announcement released by the Coalition for the Homeless, a charity that takes issue with Bloomberg’s follow-through on a 2004 pledge to slash the number of homeless people in New York. In the PSA, Baldwin’s voice can be heard over video footage of street dwellers. Baldwin starts by saying, “Over 40,000 … Continue reading →

The Frog Princess – E. D. Baker

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who kissed a frog, he turned into a prince, and they lived happily ever after. Right? Not in “The Frog Princess.” She kissed the frog, and turned into a frog herself. Princess Esmeralda is not your traditional princess. She has all the grace of a goat, and can’t seem to get control of her yards and yards of skirts. Worst of all, she’s supposed to be spending the afternoon with Prince Jorge, and she can’t stand him. When she finds out he’s coming, she heads out to the swamp behind the … Continue reading →

The Prince and Me 2 (2006)

“The Prince and Me” left us at a bit of a cliffhanger, so it was nice to see that there was a sequel. However, one major difference exists between the first and the second movie – we lost Julia Stiles and gained Kam Heskin. When last we saw Paige and Eddie, he was preparing to become the king of Denmark and she was preparing for med school. As this movie opens, we see that she (Kam Heskin) is finishing med school in Denmark and simultaneously learning all the things she’ll need to know as queen. Eddie (Luke Mably) has settled … Continue reading →
