Sideshow: Doing without help - so common

Prince William and princess-y wife Kate Middleton already have broken one of their most popular (pre-marriage) campaign promises: They're hiring servants.

The royal couple had promised the people - with much earnestness - they would do their own shopping and cleaning. Couldn't cope, I guess: The newlyweds have posted an ad for a housekeeper and a dresser to serve them at their new London pad, Kensington Palace. Lest you've not had your recommended daily allowance of BBC costume dramas, a dresser is a person who gently places rich people into their pants, socks, boots, cravats, and so forth.

Comedic juice from Weiner

Late-night TV's overgrown adolescents had an orgy of fun Monday night at the expense of U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner, who hours earlier admitted he had tweeted inappropriate pics of his anatomy to a college coed.

"Beautiful day in New York City," said CBS's David Letterman. "It was so nice today the entire staff was in Central Park writing Weiner jokes."

Comedy Central's faux pundit Stephen Colbert shared this tidbit while sitting next to a huge enlargement of Weiner's photo:

"I think we will always remember where we were when we found out that this is, in fact, Anthony Weiner's . . . ."

Our fave thesp graduates

Swift joins Concert 4 NYC

Country megastar Taylor Swift will join the Black Eyed Peas, Natasha Bedingfield, MC Hammer, Debbie Harry, LL Cool J, and Carole King for a concert Thursday in Central Park in New York to benefit charities that combat poverty in the Big Apple.

Celeb life at school

Brooke Shields went through it at Princeton, Jodie Foster at Yale. So it's understandable that Harry Potter star Emma Watson had problems at Brown University, which she left in March. Life as a celeb was weird.

"I was in denial," Emma tells London's Sunday Times mag. "I wanted to pretend I wasn't as famous as I was. I was trying to seek out normality, but I kind of have to accept who I am, the position I'm in, and what happened." But Emma denies rumors she was bullied by fellow students.
