Despite acrimoniously stepping down as senior working royals in January 2020, full profiles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex separately had remained up alongside of the rest of the Royal Family until this morning.

Tonight those pictures and biographies briefly vanished completely.

Within half an hour they were replaced with a significantly smaller, joint biography at the very bottom of the page – below the Duke of York.

The Sussexes’ entry now reads that they have stepped back as working royals, with just a couple of short paragraphs on each of them.

Prince Andrew’s entry was also updated tonight, setting the seal on his fall from grace.

In what will doubtless be be another humiliating relegation, his vastly-shortened biography now begins with the announcement of his withdrawal from public life over the Epstein scandal and Queen Elizabeth’s decision to strip him of his military affiliations and royal patronages.

Despite growing public anger at the Sussexes’ continued inclusion, Buckingham Palace has always side-stepped questions about why their details remained online despite the couple quitting royal duties four years ago and launching repeated attacks on the royal family in print and television interviews.

It has been suggested that the palace press office was ‘slowly’ updating the website following the death of Queen Elizabeth and would ‘get round to it in time’.

Harry’s original profile described him as fifth in line to the throne and the younger son of The King and Diana, Princess of Wales.

His 2,700-word biography included details of the prince’s early life, education and army career and was peppered with glossy pictures.

It also included details of his work setting up the Invictus Games, children with HIV/Aids and sporting initiatives, as well as African conservation and as his joint work on the mental health Heads Together initiative with the Prince and Princess of Wales.

There was also an entire section devoted entitled ‘Supporting the Monarch’, which included his time as a working royal for his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

It stated he represented her at events in the UK and abroad, as well as attending state and ceremonial occasions, including Remembrance events.

Meghan’s separate profile was slightly shorter – around 1,300 words – and included her education and career as an actress, as well as the charitable engagements she undertook during her brief time as a member of the Royal Family.

Interestingly, there was no mention of her parents, including her own family including estranged father Thomas Markle.

In what many will view as a marked downgrading of their status, however, the couple now only share a joint biography showing a picture of them arm in arm on a beach in South Africa, with a combined word count of just 577 words.

They are the only married members of the Royal Family now not to have their own individual profiles.

Harry’s includes just a few words about his birth and upbringing, as well as his career in the armed forces and work with the Invictus Games.

Meghan’s merely says she was an actress and ran a website, as well as briefly including her patronages as a working royal and her official titles.

Their new entry begins by stating they stepped back at as working royals in January 2020 and concludes with the three official statements released by Buckingham Palace between 2020 and 2021 official confirming their departure.

In a gracious move, however, Buckingham Palace have also included a link to Harry and Meghan’s new Sussex.com website.

The link reads: Information about the current work of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex can be found on their official website: Sussex.com Sources insisted that the changes should not be seen as a snub, but a long overdue update.

Buckingham Palace declined to comment but noted that website design and content is updated from ‘time to time’.

A source said the couple’s separate pages had been combined into one as part of a routine update of content. A ‘technical glitch’ meant it took a while for the system to update to include the new joint profile.

Last month Harry and Meghan launched a new personal website, Sussex.com, which persistently refers to them by their titles, and uses the coat of arms Meghan was given when she married Harry.

A picture of the couple’s dominates the main web page overlaid with the text: ‘The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.’

The Sussexes’ demotion on the Royal Family‘s website comes just days after Meghan launched her latest business venture – American Riviera Orchard under her official title the Duchess of Sussex.

Royal experts claimed the project – which will see Meghan, selling products such as cooking utensils and jams – was just another attempt for the California-based royals to ‘cash in’ on Meghan’s royal status.

Others said it could be a breach of the agreement they struck with the late Queen, which said that publicity materials make no attempts to hide Meghan’s royal links or her brand’s nakedly commercial nature.

Phil Dampier, who wrote a book about Harry and Meghan’s romance in 2018, said: ‘It’s hard to believe that Harry and Meghan would have used their titles for commercial gain so blatantly if Queen Elizabeth was still alive – now that she is no longer with us they sense a weakness and are exploiting it,’

‘The King won’t have the will or energy at the moment to fight this and so will let it go, but it just shows the hypocrisy of the Sussexes who criticise Harry’s family yet cling on to their royal titles for commercial gain.’

The website apparent snub also coincides with the fourth anniversary of their  ‘freedom’ day – the date they moved from Canada to California following Megixt – which they celebrated on Friday.

Ever since the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022, King Charles has sought a ‘slimmed down monarchy’ which has seen half the number of working royals compared with 2017.

Back then, royal engagements such as trips abroad, investitures and state functions, were covered by 12 senior and around six minor working royals.

By 2024, however, there were only seven working royals – the King and Queen, Prince and Princess of Wales, the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh – alongside minor royals such as The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Yet a series of health woes to hit the royal family in January, with the King being diagnosed with an unnamed cancer and Kate undergoing planned abdominal surgery within days of each other, laid bare the reality of a stripped back monarchy.

The monarch has taken a step back from his public facing duties, although continues to meet the Prime Minister for his weekly audiences and still reads through his daily red boxes as he undergoes treatment.

Meanwhile, Kate left the hospital on January 29 – almost two weeks after her surgery – and returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor. Kensington Palace said she would be stepping back from public duty as she recovers.

The reality of the smaller-functioning royal family was revealed dramatically last month when Prince Andrew and his divorced wife Fergie, the Duchess of York, led the royal reserves into a thanksgiving service for the late King Constantine of Greece.

The Duke of York took a step back from royal life after he settled a sexual assault case filed against him by Virginia Giuffre , a sex slave victim of Andrew’s friend Jeffrey Epstein.

Yet after Prince William was forced to miss the memorial service to his late godfather for unexplained ‘personal reasons’, with Queen Camilla arriving separately, Andrew was seen beaming as he led the other royals into the service at Windsor Castle.

One royal watcher told MailOnline: ‘Prince Andrew and the Yorks are firmly back in the fold’.

The Princess of Wales, who made her last public engagement at Sandringham on Christmas Day, is expected to return to public duty after April 17, when her children start back at Lambrook School, near Ascot, following the Easter Holidays.

Despite Kensington Palace laying out a clear timeline for Kate’s recovery and return to her work as a senior royal, her visible absence from public life has sparked a tsunami of speculation and crazed conspiracy theories about her wellbeing.

In recent weeks, wild rumours – fuelled by social media and the foreign press – have speculated over the reason why Kate has not been seen.

‘Katespiracies’ online have ranged from claims she was recovering from a ‘Brazilian bum lift’ or in a coma, a theory sparked by a journalist on Spanish television.

Some joked she was a contestant on The Masked Singer television show – or may have even been bumped from the Royal Family.

Other trolls and conspiracy theorists have used her absence and the lawlessness of social media to spread deeply sinister claims. Even Kim Kardashian has weighed in posting selfies captioned: ‘On my way to go find Kate.’

The absurd claims only intensified when the Princess took the blame for the family photograph released by Kensington Palace on Mother’s Day, which was ‘killed’ by six of the world’s top picture agencies over concerns that it had been ‘manipulated’.

It came after it was pointed out that part of Princess Charlotte‘s sleeve and the misaligned edge of her skirt were missing, with other speculation including the positioning of Kate’s zip.

In addition to the numerous imperfections in the image, viewers also spotted that Kate appeared to not be wearing her wedding ring, which sparked multiple unfounded theories online about the state of her marriage.

The furor on social media led the Princess to make a personal apology on X, writing ‘Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.’

It is understood that Kate had only intended to ‘bring a bit of joy’ and release a reassuring image to thank the public for their ongoing support, and that she and William are both ‘shaken and devastated’ at the speculation about their marriage.

In a much needed boost to the public, however, Kate was spotted out and about for the first time this weekend as she visited The Windsor Farm Shop, about a mile away from Adelaide Cottage.

The Princess of Wales was reportedly spotted looking ‘happy, healthy and relaxed’ alongside William after having watched their three children – George, ten, Charlotte, eight, and Louis, five – take part in sports.

A fellow shopper told the Sun: ‘After all the rumours that had been going round I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well.

‘The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.’

The appearance is an encouraging sign that she is taking her first steps towards a return to official royal engagements.

 

Gray hair in Hollywood often sparks conversation, revealing the industry’s complex relationship with aging. Celebrities facing criticism for showcasing their natural grays have flipped the narrative, clapping back at the naysayers and championing self-acceptance.

Here are some of the show business stars who have had their fair share of harsh online criticism regarding their physical appearance throughout the years.

Keanu Reeves’ Girlfriend Alexandra Grant

In a parallel narrative, Keanu Reeves and his partner Alexandra Grant exemplify the strength found in defying conventional expectations together. The couple has faced scrutiny over Grant’s gray hair since their relationship went public.

Grant, who embraced her natural hair color after years of dyeing, has been criticized for looking older than her age. One person on X (formerly known as Twitter), commented, “They say Keanu Reeves’ girlfriend is 46… She looks old as my grandma.”

Another person asked why Reeves’ girlfriend looked older than she actually was: “Why 46 years old Keanu Reeves’ girlfriend looks like she’s 70?” On the other hand, some people commended Grant’s courage to go gray on The Talk’s post, but others said they would never risk going gray.

One online user noted that Grant looked mature for her age because of the gray hair, adding: “[…] But not everyone looks their age. I’m in my late 50’s, and I look a lot younger. Anyhow, if they’re happy, who are we to judge.”

Other people commended Grant for going gray with one individual writing“I don’t have the guts to go gray. But I think it’s crazy how people are making harsh comments regarding Her hair! “

In a December 2019 Instagram post, Grant, a visual artist, revealed her hair turned gray prematurely in her early twenties and she often dyed it. However, she soon stopped dyeing her locks due to the toxicity of the dyes.

“In my 30’s, I let my hair turn “blonde.” I love and support that every woman can choose how she wants to look at every age. But/and, if womxn are perishing from beauty standards, then let’s talk about those beauty standards. Love to all womxn!” the now-54-year-old penned.

Despite negative comments, many fans have expressed support for Grant’s decision to go gray, highlighting the couple’s happiness as the most important factor.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker, renowned for her role as Carrie Bradshaw in “Sex and the City,” faced backlash for displaying her gray hair make-up free while dining with Andy Cohen once.

Critics labeled her old, prompting Cohen, who also has silver hair, to denounce the comments as “misogynistic,” as he never received the same criticism for his hair.

In response, Parker, 58, articulated her views on aging in an interview, questioning why people derive pleasure from others’ discomfort with aging.

The actress expressed, “It almost feels as if people don’t want us to be perfectly OK with where we are, as if they almost enjoy us being pained by who we are today, whether we choose to age naturally and not look perfect, or whether you do something if that makes you feel better

In addition, she asserted, “I know what I look like… What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?” Being in her late 50s, Parker emphasized her comfort with her appearance and aging, highlighting a refusal to obsess over it. “I like to be graceful with myself. I’m not delusional. I know that age adds up…” said the award-winning Hollywood A-list star.

Diane Keaton

Like Parker, Diane Keaton has navigated the complexities of aging in the public eye with remarkable dignity. At 77, Keaton showcased her gray hair at the 2014 Golden Globes, receiving praise for aging naturally.

Online users reportedly loved the esteemed veteran star’s look so much that they even prompted blog posts on how to achieve her stylish silver hair.

An advocate for aging gracefully, Keaton, now 78 years old, has voiced her acceptance of cosmetic procedures but prefers to showcase her “battle scars.”

“I don’t see anything wrong with face-lifts or Botox or fillers. They just erase the hidden battle scars. I intend to wear mine, sort of,” said the Academy Award-winning actress

Reflecting on aging, she contemplates the quality of life in later years, stressing the challenges older individuals face in remaining connected with society.

Jennifer Aniston

Similarly, Jennifer Aniston has faced her own journey with aging under the Hollywood spotlight. Aniston, celebrated for her role in “Friends,” showcased her gray hair in 2023, leading to mixed reactions online.

Initially resistant to graying, Aniston’s embrace of her natural hair color sparked debate among fans, with some applauding her courage and others critiquing her appearance.

“Anyone would think going gray was an anamomaly for tv/movie stars seriously!! We better give Jennifer a plack/award for it she’s soooo brave it’s never heard of [sic],” one person wrote.

Meanwhile, some of the TV star’s fans raved about her new look, complimenting her for going gray. “Well done for allowing gray to come through – refreshing,” said one person. “Aside from some bad lip work, she looks amazing,” another individual commented.

Some people mentioned that Aniston looks even more beautiful with gray hair, while others stated she looks as gorgeous as usual. “I am sure she entered the gray hair stage a while back – she’s just starting to embrace it,” an online user said.

However, others believe the movie star going gray would ruin her overall appearance. One social media user advised Aniston, “Nah. Dye it. I know, it’s empowering and all that nonsense. Do yourself a favor and make it blonde.” Someone else who disliked Aniston’s gray look told her “Gray hair doesn’t suit you yet. Save it for later plz.”

Now 55, the Emmy Award winner credits her Greek genes for her ageless beauty. She advised people to stay hydrated and use good face products, which have also played a part in her young-looking appearance. “Don’t overproduct, that’s the other thing. Getting proper sleep is always important,” she added.

Aniston has been vocal about the pressures of agelessness in Hollywood, advocating for natural beauty and condemning social media trolls for their harsh criticism of celebrities’ appearances.

Roseanne Barr

Echoing Grant’s defiance, Roseanne Barr has also embraced her gray hair, confronting the negative comments with a sense of pride in her age.

Barr, whose is in her early seventies, has been subject to body shaming on social media for her natural aging process, including her gray hair.

The best-selling author has undergone a dramatic transformation through the years, which includes changing hairstyles and dyeing her hair. But in 2007, she stated she would stop dyeing her hair and wear her natural gray full-time.

However, Barr, who is also a comedian, started to embrace the aging process in 2008 when she attended the TV Land Awards with her natural gray hair.

Fast forward to 2020, the television star began posting photos of herself rocking long silver hair which she styled in waves, on her social media. A year later, Barr shared a picture wearing a cheetah print dress with gray while showing off her gray locks.

Despite the negativity, Barr has embraced her age and gray hair, stating, “I want to look old because I am old. And I think it’s good to be old, too.” Barr’s stance on aging reflects a broader acceptance of natural beauty standards.

Jodie Foster

Finally, Jodie Foster’s experiences bring the discussion full circle. Foster faced criticism for her appearance, particularly her gray roots, in the trailer for HBO’s “True Detective: Night Country.”

The trailer of the long-awaited series came out in April 2023, and while many people were happy to see the Oscar Award-winning actress, otherwise were quick to point out how much she had aged.

In the clip, Foster appeared with her natural gray hair and aging face. Some people were stunned to see the former child star looking her age and mentioned how she is getting old.

One person assumed that the film star has had work done on her face, writingI hope she hasn’t gotten one of those facelifts that gives everyone who gets one that permanent ‘pork chopsh and apple shauce’ lishp thing.”

Despite negative comments about her aging, Foster remains content with her natural appearance. Support from fans has shifted the conversation from criticism to admiration, highlighting Foster’s enduring beauty and talent. One individual said she looked good, another sang her praises and complimented her beauty.

These celebrities, facing and responding to criticism over their natural aging process, highlight a growing movement towards embracing natural beauty and challenging traditional beauty standards in Hollywood.

In a move that has both fans and the real estate world buzzing, global music superstar and entrepreneur Rihanna has reportedly listed her Century City penthouse for sale.

This is no ordinary property; it’s a lavish abode that once belonged to Matthew Perry, the beloved actor best known for his role as Chandler Bing on “Friends.”

The asking price? A cool $25 million. This decision comes less than a year after Rihanna acquired the property, sparking questions and speculation about the sudden sale.

Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, has long been a fixture in both the music industry and the business world. With hits like “Umbrella” and “Diamonds,” she’s not just a chart-topping artist but a savvy entrepreneur, with her Fenty Beauty line breaking sales records.

Beyond her professional achievements, Rihanna’s personal life, including her role as a mother of two, keeps her in the spotlight.

Perry’s recent tragic passing in October 2023 from an apparent drowning at his Pacific Palisades home has saddened fans worldwide, making the story of his former penthouse all the more poignant.

Located in The Century, a 42-story skyscraper that defines the Century City skyline, the penthouse owned by Rihanna spans approximately 9,300 square feet of living space. It’s a true “mansion in the sky,” offering panoramic views of Los Angeles from its perch on the 40th floor.

Perry’s acquisition of the unit in 2017 for $20 million was driven by a vision to create a dream home above the clouds.

His tenure in the penthouse marked a chapter of celebrity ownership that added to the property’s allure, a legacy that Rihanna continues with her own unique chapter in the penthouse’s storied history.

The penthouse’s architectural brilliance, coupled with its history of celebrity ownership, positions it as a jewel in the crown of Century City’s luxury real estate.

As it enters the market once again, its legacy as a pinnacle of luxury living remains undiminished, awaiting the next chapter in its illustrious history.

The penthouse’s story is as much about its owners as it is about its architectural splendor. Perry, the original celebrity owner, purchased the unit in 2017 for $20 million and sold it in 2021 for $21.6 million, making it Southern California’s priciest condo sale at the time.

Perry’s tenure in the penthouse was marked by extensive customization, with the help of architect Scott Joyce and interior designer LM Pagano, creating a uniquely personalized living space.

The property was then acquired by Nick Molnar, co-founder of the tech company Afterplay, before Rihanna took ownership in April 2023 for $21 million Neither Molnar nor Rihanna seemed to have made substantial alterations to Perry’s original designs.

Rihanna’s journey to owning this architectural marvel began when she purchased it for $21 million in April 2023 from Nick Molnar, co-founder of the tech company Afterpay.

The purchase was notable not only for the property’s luxurious features and celebrity pedigree but also for Rihanna’s negotiation, securing an $8 million discount from the initial $28 million listing price. This move hinted at her sharp business acumen, leveraging Los Angeles’s new mansion tax as a bargaining chip.

The speculation surrounding Rihanna’s swift decision to list her Century City penthouse has ignited a flurry of discussions across various platforms, from social media to major news outlets.

On platforms like Instagram, where the Robb Report Real Estate page shared news of the listing, followers expressed their curiosity and surprise with comments such as “But why she sells it so urgently????

Similarly, the Daily Mail’s coverage of the sale prompted reactions suggesting more supernatural reasons for the sale, with readers joking, “She must have seen the ghost there!!” Another asked about the timing writing, “Why did she do it after Matthew Perry’s death???

Beyond the lighthearted theories, the timing of the sale has also led to more serious speculation about the motivations behind Rihanna’s decision.

Given the penthouse’s association with Matthew Perry, who passed away tragically in October 2023, some fans have wondered if the property’s history might have influenced Rihanna’s choice.

Perry’s own words about the penthouse shed light on his feelings towards such grand living spaces. In an interview with GQ published on October 30, 2023, Perry opened up about his motivations for purchasing the penthouse and his subsequent feelings of regret.

The initial allure of owning a grand penthouse in Los Angeles was influenced by his admiration for cinematic portrayals of luxury, particularly the lavish lifestyle of Bruce Wayne in “The Dark Knight.”

Perry admitted, “I bought an apartment in LA that was 10,400 square feet. I bought it because Christian Bale had it in The Dark Knight.”

However, the reality of living in such an expansive space did not align with Perry’s expectations. He reflected on the novelty of the penthouse, noting, “Maybe the first few days when you got lost in it. But after that, it was like: why did I do this?”

While Rihanna has not publicly disclosed her reasons for selling the penthouse, the listing has certainly attracted attention.

The property is back on the market with an asking price just shy of $25 million. Despite the lack of official comment on the sale, the luxury and uniqueness of the penthouse continue to make it a focal point of high-end real estate discussions.

Despite the splendor of the Century City penthouse, Rihanna reportedly never moved in. Her real estate portfolio includes another unit in the same building and a $14 million mansion in Beverly Hills, which serves as her primary residence.

This mansion, where she lives with her partner, A$AP Rocky, and their two children, offers a glimpse into her preference for a more stable, family-oriented living environment.

Rihanna’s Beverly Hills mansion, nestled in the exclusive and affluent Post Office district, stands as a testament to her refined taste and penchant for privacy and luxury.

This $13.8 million colonial-style abode, purchased in December 2021, is more than a home; it’s a sanctuary for Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and their two young children, RZA and Riot Rose.

The residence embodies a perfect blend of classic elegance and modern amenities, making it an ideal setting for a family rooted in the fast-paced entertainment industry yet seeking solace and privacy in their personal lives

Spanning a generous 21,958 square feet, the property is situated on a secluded cul-de-sac, offering an added layer of privacy away from the prying eyes of the public and paparazzi.

The mansion’s exterior exudes timeless elegance, with its stately colonial architecture that harks back to a bygone era of glamour. However, it’s the interior where Rihanna’s personal style and preference for luxury truly shine through.

The mansion boasts five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, each designed with impeccable attention to detail and a focus on luxury living.

The chef’s kitchen is a focal point of the home, featuring pristine white marble countertops that contrast beautifully with herringbone wood flooring.

It is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, including a large wine fridge, two ovens, and modern fire-burning stoves, making it a haven for culinary experimentation and entertainment.

Two expansive islands, each adorned with its own gold hardware sink, anchor the space, highlighting the kitchen’s blend of functionality and design.

A fully-equipped fitness center reflects Rihanna’s commitment to health and wellness. The open-concept gym, complete with an outdoor terrace, allows for a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor fitness routines, catering to the couple’s active lifestyle.

The family room is a study in contemporary minimalist design, featuring a cozy plush L-couch, vintage carpets, and an eclectic collection of accent chairs. A giant flatscreen TV dominates the space, offering entertainment for family movie nights or casual relaxation.

Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views of the property’s pool and the surrounding garden area, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.

Adjacent to the living room, a stylish breakfast nook and a grand dining room accented with a glittering chandelier offer diverse dining experiences, from casual family meals to more formal gatherings.

The mansion’s design facilitates a flow between spaces, making it an ideal venue for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet family time.

Each bedroom in the mansion can comfortably accommodate a king-sized bed, with some rooms boasting their own private terrace or balcony, offering breathtaking views of the lush backyard.

The primary suite, however, stands apart with its luxurious marble his-and-hers bathroom, complete with a lavish tub, and a massive walk-in closet and dressing room area, providing a private retreat for Rihanna and A$AP Rocky.

The outdoor space is equally impressive, featuring a luxurious swimming pool, multiple seating areas, and a lavish cabana area where the family can enjoy the sunny California weather in privacy and comfort.

Fire pits scattered across the property add a warm ambiance to evening gatherings, making the mansion not just a house, but a home filled with love, laughter, and the making of cherished family memories.

In this Beverly Hills mansion, Rihanna has created a haven that reflects her journey as a global superstar, a successful entrepreneur, and, most importantly, a devoted partner and mother.

It’s a space that balances the demands of her public persona with her personal need for privacy, comfort, and family-centric living, embodying the essence of her multifaceted life.

The listing of Rihanna’s Century City penthouse coincides with a significant and joyous phase in her life, marked by her journey into motherhood and her evolving relationship with A$AP Rocky.

This transition into parenthood has not only been a profound personal change for Rihanna but has also captivated the public and her fans, who have followed her every step into this new chapter with keen interest.

Rihanna’s approach to motherhood has been characterized by her distinct blend of style, strength, and candor. Throughout her first pregnancy, she redefined maternity fashion with bold and unapologetic choices that celebrated her changing body, breaking away from traditional maternity wear norms.

Her public appearances became a platform for showcasing her unique sense of style, while also reflecting her confidence and joy in becoming a mother.

In February 2023, during her much-anticipated performance at the Super Bowl halftime show, Rihanna surprised and delighted fans by revealing her second pregnancy.

This announcement, made on one of the world’s biggest stages, underscored how integral her identity as a mother has become to her public persona.

Rihanna’s sale of Matthew Perry’s former penthouse less than a year after purchasing it adds another intriguing chapter to the property’s history.

From its luxurious amenities to its breathtaking views, the penthouse remains a symbol of celebrity and luxury in Los Angeles.

As fans and the public speculate on the reasons behind the sale, the stories of the penthouse, its former and urrent owners, and their lives away from the public eye continue to captivate and fascinate.

Rihanna’s Two Young Sons Spotted All Bundled up in Rare Public Sighting – Photos

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky recently touched down in Paris with their children. The couple, who have been discreet about their personal lives, especially concerning their children, were seen comfortably bundling up Riot and Rza in warm clothing and blankets.

Rihanna, carrying elder son RZA, and A$AP Rocky, holding Riot, looked content and at ease during this public moment. This appearance comes almost a year following Rza’s first birthday, celebrated with a rare glimpse into their private life when A$AP Rocky shared photos on Instagram.

Rihanna’s approach to motherhood has mixed fierce privacy and candid revelations. The public only learned of their second child’s name a month after his birth through the birth certificate obtained by news sources.

The singer has spoken openly about motherhood’s profound impact on her life, confessing that it has completely transformed her perspective, and barely remembers her life before having children.

One instance highlighting Rihanna’s protectiveness over her family’s privacy was when paparazzi captured a photo of her son. In response, Rihanna took control by posting a picture of him first, asserting her right to decide when and how her son’s identity is revealed to the world.

She has shared insights into the initial overwhelming feelings of motherhood, saying: “You’re just going through the motions, and even then, you’re so paranoid.”

Rihanna joked that she couldn’t believe that the doctors and nurses had let her go home with her son unsupervised. Amidst her parenting journey, Rihanna remains a fashion icon, recently causing a stir among fans with her appearance in a Dior Couture outfit at the Dior fashion show in Paris. Dior’s Instagram page shared a snapshot of her at this event.

Jay Leno, the beloved former anchor of The Tonight Show, recently went through a tumultuous period of his life. Within a short span of time, he experienced two catastrophic events that left him with multiple injuries all over his body.

It all started when Leno was working on a vintage car in his Los Angeles garage. A terrible car fire erupted, causing significant damage and leaving Leno with severe second and third-degree burns. He had to spend nine days at West Hills Hospital’s Grossman Burn Center to receive treatment.

Just over a month later, on January 27, Leno was involved in a motorcycle accident, resulting in a broken collarbone and two ribs. Despite these unfortunate incidents, the 73-year-old comedian remains resilient and has no plans to retire.

No Plans to Retire

Leno, who currently hosts Jay Leno’s Garage and the NBC game show You Bet Your Life, recently spoke with Page Six about his retirement plans. He made it clear that, unless he experiences a serious health issue like a stroke, he has no intentions of retiring. Leno emphasized that he will continue working until his health forces him to step away.

“I have no plans to retire,” Leno declared fiercely. “Unless I have a stroke… Then you slow down.” He understands that retirement will come when his health no longer allows him to keep going.

Bouncing Back Strong

Despite his recent accidents, Leno has shown remarkable resilience. Just days after his nine-day hospital stay, which included multiple grafting surgeries, he bravely returned to driving and even visited the accident site. And less than a week later, Leno received a warm welcome back to the stage at the Comedy Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California, where a sold-out crowd greeted him with standing ovations.

Reflecting on the Car Fire

In an interview with People, Leno discussed the car fire incident, acknowledging that accidents happen when you work with cars. However, he emphasized that this incident was more significant than most. While repairing a clogged fuel pipe in a 1907 White Steam Car, Leno realized just how close he was to the pilot light, which could have led to a catastrophic outcome. He vividly recalled the moment when he received a “full face of gasoline,” describing it as feeling like his face was on fire.

With the support of medical procedures, such as skin grafting and hyperbaric chamber sessions, Leno began his road to recovery. Throughout his hospital stay, Leno avoided taking medication, considering it a reminder of his mistake. He appreciated the affection shown by his famous friends and family, including phone calls from Russell Crowe, flowers from Tom Selleck, and a generous Italian basket from John Travolta. Their support meant a lot to Leno during his challenging time.

Through it all, Jay Leno remains strong and determined. He continues to entertain audiences and is committed to his work until circumstances out of his control dictate otherwise. Retirement may not be on the horizon for this legendary comedian anytime soon.

Lady Kitty Spencer looked breathtaking like her late aunt, Princess Diana, in her wedding dress by Dolce and Gabbana. The doting bride shared snapshots of her gorgeous gown on Instagram, thanking the fashion house for making her wedding dress dreams come true.

On July 24, 2021, Princess Diana’s niece, Lady Kitty Spencer tied the knot with Michael Lewis, a billionaire tycoon. The couple held their wedding ceremony in Italy, together with their closest family and friends.

Kitty’s husband, 32 years her senior, is five years older than her dad, Charles Spencer. Nevertheless, their love endured and finally became legally binding.

Lady Kitty Spencer Wore a Gorgeous Victorian Wedding Dress

Kitty was a vision in white on her wedding day as she exchanged vows with Lewis in a gorgeous Victorian dress. The doting bride donned a lacy Dolce and Gabanna gown that featured puffed long sleeves and a buttoned front detail from the top of her turtle neck until the bottom of the garment.

The dress with a cinched waist also featured a corset underneath the lace. Kitty’s wedding ensemble also had a long white train with lace details toward the edges.

She kept her makeup subtle for the occasion and neatly fixed her blonde hair in a low bun, showing her resemblance to Diana. In her post featuring her wearing the gown, part of her caption read:

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart Domenico & Stefano for creating a gown beyond my wildest dreams for the most important day of my life.”

Kitty also shared snippets of her final fitting on Instagram, detailing the wonderful time she had working with the fashion house. “Our fittings were filled with laughter, many happy tears, pure joy and unbridled passion,” she noted.

As Emanuel recalled, Diana lost about three inches off her waist during her wedding preparations, which was nothing short of unusual for brides.

During the reception that followed the nuptials, Kitty changed into her second gown: a pink short-sleeved dress with floral embroidery and a flowing hemline. She looked stunning in both her outfits for the celebration.

Interestingly, several guests also opted to wear Dolce and Gabanna pieces, including Viscountess Weymouth, fashion designer Jade Holland Cooper, and socialite Marjorie Gubelmann.

The newlywed couple held their wedding at the Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, Italy, and seated several family members, including the bride’s brothers, Samuel Aitken and Louis Spencer, as well as her sisters, twins Eliza and Amelia Spencer.

Princess Diana’s Wedding Dress

Just like Kitty, her late aunt also had a gorgeous and iconic wedding dress. Diana chose Elizabeth Emanuel to design her gown ahead of her 1981 wedding to then-Prince Charles.

As Emanuel recalled, Diana lost about three inches off her waist during her wedding preparations, which was nothing short of unusual for brides. When she walked down the aisle, Diana had a slim 23-inch waist and looked absolutely gorgeous.

Emanuel, who was working with her husband, David, in designing Diana’s dress, described her as a wonderful and easy-going person.

Emanuel, who was working with her husband, David, in designing Diana’s dress, described her as a wonderful and easy-going person. She was a calm bride who gave them creative freedom to design her gown as they wanted. Like her niece, Diana’s gown also had long sleeves and a long train.

On the big day, Emanuel described Diana as calm and put-together. Meanwhile, he was panicked, scared of all the possibilities something could go wrong. Fortunately, the dress turned out well.

Who is Lady Kitty Spencer?

Besides wedding dresses, there’s more Kitty shares with her famous aunt. The eldest daughter of Diana’s younger brother, Charles Spencer, and his wife, Victoria, is also a philanthropist.

Much like the People’s Princess, Kitty holds charities close to her heart, including Centrepoint, an organization for the homeless youth that her late aunt supported. In 2016, Kitty quietly dropped by two Centrepoint bases to look into a project.

Kitty shared a glimpse of her visit on Instagram, sharing a preview of the charity’s mission. She also posted about some of the conversations she has had with young women who hope to be a midwife and dance studio owners.

Next in line to the throne and Kitty’s cousin, Prince William, is also a patron of Centrepoint. He once credited his mother’s role in the organization as a significant factor in helping him see life beyond palace walls.

“I was very struck by the people I met and what they were struggling with – sleeping rough, sofa surfing, not having basic comforts a lot of us take for granted,” he said.

Diana undoubtedly had a significant influence on the lives of those around her. Her brother, Charles, believed she had a special power that made people feel comfortable with her presence. “She could make any person, whether they were the grandest or the most humble, feel totally at ease in her company,” he said.

Jackie Chan, the revered martial artist and venerated star of the screen, recently appeared in a video on a Chinese social media platform, showing off a full head of gray hair as he approaches his 70th birthday. The video, which quickly spread across the internet, was from a report by Sichuan Observation on Weibo and was shot during a special event in Luzhou, Sichuan.

The caption alongside the video highlighted Chan’s appearance at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Sealing Ceremony on March 11th, with Chan humorously comparing his age to the ancient brewing techniques of Luzhou Laojiao, saying, “Luzhou Laojiao’s brewing technique has a history of 700 years, and I am 70 years old.”

At the ceremony, Chan, who is a father-of-two, mentioned his strong connection with Luzhou and expressed his admiration for the event, which he was attending for the first time. He voiced a heartfelt desire to see Chinese kung fu prevail in every corner and the rich aroma of Luzhou Laojiao to be omnipresent.

As images of Chan’s transformed appearance surfaced, the internet reacted with a mix of shock and admiration. The Daily Loud’s shared photo of Chan’s new look garnered significant attention, prompting fans to voice their surprise and nostalgia. Comments ranged from stunned queries like “What happened to Jackie Chan?” and “Can’t believe he’s that old already” to expressions of disbelief such as “Yo I barely recognize him. A legend.” “He looks completely different” and “How?

Fans reflected on their own disbelief with remarks like “Ahh, I couldn’t recognize him for a while” and “Unbelievable.” The collective sentiment echoed the reverence for the passage of time, with multiple fans remarking, “[What’s] happening to Jackie Chan?” and “Can’t believe that Jackie Chan is getting this old. Legend.

Tolulope Michael, a cyber-security instructor and career coach, didn’t hide his emotions when sharing the viral photo, reflecting on the inevitable nature of aging and the bittersweet reality of seeing a childhood hero grow old. He recounted how Chan’s films from the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s continue to bring joy and how the anticipation for “Rush Hour 4” keeps the excitement alive.

His tribute, heartfelt and resonant, read: “Seeing one of the greatest actors of all time get old is really heartbreaking for me, even though getting old is a part of life. Jackie Chan is part of those actors that made our childhood fun. He was my childhood favourite actor and I still watch his 80’s 90’s and early 2000’s movies to watch again and relive those memories.” Michael shared that he loved Chan as a child and still felt that way. He shared that although he couldn’t bear to see Chan aging, he knew it was something he couldn’t escape.

In October 2017, when addressing questions about himself on social media, Chan’s responses were imbued with his characteristic wit and humility. To the query “How did Jackie Chan die?” he quipped, “Jackie Chan never dies.” Addressing retirement rumors, he confidently stated, “No. The movie business is so fun.”

He revealed that if he retired from acting, he would pursue directing. When asked if he lived in Mexico, he clarified, “No, Beijing. But I have an office in Shanghai, Taiwan… actually, I’m living around the world.” To the suggestion of immortality, he humbly responded, “Actually, no. I’m not immortal. I’m just ordinary people. I just have the guts to try everything.” And in the timeless debate of who would win in a fight between him and Bruce Lee, Chan graciously conceded, “Bruce Lee win. Let him win.”

Chan’s reflections on life and work, captured in his book “Never Grow Up,” resonate with his recent appearance: “…I don’t want to retire either. Sometimes I wonder if I should just vanish suddenly one day, pack a bag and fly a plane to somewhere. That might be the way to do it. But I probably never will. I hope that, when the time is right, I’ll know when to stop working. I’ll take care of myself. Or I’ll keep plugging away and fighting until the very end.”

Sissy and Jack’s relationship has been one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories. Having met on the set of “Badlands,” their connection blossomed into a partnership that has withstood the test of time since their marriage in 1974.

Sissy, reflecting on her role in “Night Sky,” mentioned how her deep, long-standing relationship with Fisk helped her connect with the character. “That’s what attracted me to this role,” she said. “I understood that deep, deep [connection] and long time growing up together. I understood the relationship.”

Despite their success and status as public figures, Sissy and Jack have chosen to lead a life away from the constant scrutiny of Hollywood, making a home for themselves and their daughters on a Virginia farm since 1978.

“We moved there not because we didn’t love L.A., but we wanted to raise our children in a more natural environment,” Sissy shared. “[An environment] where they could make mistakes, ride ponies, do stupid stuff, and climb trees and not have to deal with that celebrity child thing.”

During those years, Sissy and Jack scheduled their work in a way that one would always be at the farm. As Sissy’s career peaked, her husband held the fort in their home. He enjoyed his days fixing their farm and raising horses.

This decision underscored their desire to provide a normal, grounded upbringing for their children, away from the celebrity spotlight. This retreat became not just a home but a sanctuary for creativity and simplicity, where they balanced their careers with family life, ensuring one was always present for their daughters.

Interestingly, despite their parents’ efforts to shield them from the industry’s glare, Schuyler and Madison gravitated toward the entertainment world.

Schuyler has made a name for herself as an actress and musician, while Madison has followed a path behind the scenes as a production designer and art director. Sissy humorously notes that despite their rich experiences, their children don’t seek them out for relationship advice, underscoring a family dynamic that is as independent as it is close-knit.

Recently, the couple transformed their barn into a creative studio for painting and music production. Sissy Spacek enthusiastically praised her husband’s artistic talent, acknowledging the significant influence he has had on her.

She attributes her considerable achievements to their life on the farm and the strong bond she shares with her husband, emphasizing their mutual understanding and support for each other’s passions. She also praises him for his sense of humor which puts a smile on her face.

As Sissy embarks on her 70th year, she marvels at the vitality of their relationship and the swift passage of time. Her passion for gardening is evident in the addition of peonies and boxwood trees to her garden, a space she has made stunning through her dedication.

Sissy cherishes the tranquility of farm life, especially moments spent on her porch with a portable fan, soaking in the beauty of her environment. Her husband’s humor is another aspect she treasures, describing it as so exceptional that it borders on the absurd.
