Kate Middleton

By Elizabeth Wellington So far, we know the royal newlyweds will not have servants in their house, at least for the first three years of their marriage. We've been told that Kate Middleton's life-size wax image won't join the rest of the royal brood at Madame Tussauds until the end of this year. And it was reported that the No Problem Orchestra, a group of Austrian disabled musicians, are to perform at the April 29 affair. But one question remains: What - and maybe more important, who - will Kate wear when she walks down the aisle of Westminster Abbey to marry Prince William?

For young women, there's a twinge of sadness that comes along with the news that Prince William is no longer on the market after proposing to Kate Middleton, his girlfriend of eight years. The resounding response to the news from the mid-20s set has been an acid-tinged, "Good for them. But now he can't marry me. " I can't speak to the British counterparts of my generation, who must be all too aware of the class distinctions between themselves and the prince, no matter how many baseball caps he dons in photos, or how down to earth he seems in his brief press appearances.

Khloe Kardashian has been kashiered, kanned, kicked to the kurb. The producers of Fox's The X Factor announced Monday that they had pink-slipped Khloe as kohost, confirming a rumor that had been noised about for the last two months.

Khloe's cohost Mario Lopez survived to host another day and will be back to welcome viewers to the show's third season in the fall.

The court was shocked, shocked, to find topless photos of a beautiful celeb in a French magazine.

So your baby bump is at the six-month mark, and you've got an important luncheon to attend. What to wear? If you're Kate Middleton, our favorite preggers princess, you would probably do long, lacy sleeves on a fitted pastel sheath - belted right above the tummy. On your feet, matching strappy pumps, of course. And no Duchess of Cambridge look is complete without a perfectly perched pillbox. So say the fashion-foreshadowers at Destination Maternity, the Philadelphia-based parent company of A Pea in the Pod and Motherhood Maternity.

LONDON - Britain's government said Saturday that it had begun the process of reviewing the ancient, discriminatory rules of royal succession, so that if Prince William and Kate Middleton's first child is a girl, she would eventually become queen. The current rule that puts boys ahead of their sisters "would strike most people as a little old-fashioned," Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said. It is just two weeks until the prince and Middleton get married at London's Westminster Abbey, and Clegg said many people might agree that the rules should be changed.

Does acting like a tramp mean you are a tramp? No, says philosophical ethics prof Miley Cyrus in response to critics who suggest that her "Can't Be Tamed" music vid is far too sexually suggestive for a 17-year-old child.

What I'm trying to do is to make a point with my record and look consistent, in the way my record sounds and the way I dress. " So, is she just acting inarticulate?

Despite a torrent of spleen - moral, ethical, aesthetic, and legal - pouring forth from the British royal family, Italian gossip mag Chi on Monday published a 26-page spread featuring topless photos of Britain's future queen - Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge ( Kate Middleton to her friends).

Well, it wasn't hard to see this one coming, given America's love affair with carnivorous corpses. Resident Evil: Retribution , with Milla Jovovich out for her fifth romp as Alice in zombieland, worked its dark magic at the box office over the weekend, raking in $21.1 million in domestic receipts and filleting the sunny Finding Nemo (3-D version), which nevertheless finished second with a not-too-fishy haul of $17.5 million.
