Before flying home, the former Suits star met with Team USA, made up of veterans and service people injured while serving, and shared a lighthearted moment with them.

Meghan flew home from the Invictus Games early.

Athletes competing in the Invictus Games have given their verdict on Meghan Markle as she left the competition early.

The Duchess of Sussex flew back to California from Canada to be with her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while Prince Harry remains there as the tournament is to end on Sunday.

Before flying home, the former Suits star met with Team USA and shared a lighthearted moment with them.

Leandra Moehring, who competes in skiing, rowing, skeleton, and swimming, said: “We told her we saw her on Suits. And she’s like, ‘I’m sorry I’m not wearing a pencil skirt.”

She told People magazine: “They [Harry and Meghan] really took the time with each and every one of us. And despite people who are trying to keep them on schedule, they just did not mind taking pictures at all. And it was just super neat.”

Prince Harry will remain in Canada until the end of the Invictus Games.

Bryce Ewing, who competes in snowboarding, rowing, and swimming, told the outlet: “When Meghan looks at you, she really looks at you, and you feel it in your soul.

“She’s really caring. She’s very intuitive. She’s so down to earth, and she looks like she really cares.”

Meghan leaving the event early means she and Harry will be spending Valentine’s Day apart. Aides said this was always the plan and pointed to the previous games, which Meghan also left early.

A source said: “This was always planned. Meghan is going home to be with her children. Meghan left the games in Dusseldorf early after five days to go home. This is Prince Harry’s event and she is there to support him, but this was planned.”

The pre-planned arrangement ensured Meghan could be with the Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, while Harry could remain at the event he co-founded.

The couple knew this would be the case, so enjoyed an early Valentine’s Day celebration by having dinner together before the Duchess flew home.

While speaking to fans at a wheelchair basketball game in Vancouver over the weekend, the former Suits star said she missed her children, MailOnline reports.

Cynthia Phelps, who had breakfast with the couple on Saturday, told reporters: “She said she was a very happy baby. She said her kids were at home and she missed them and she was excited to see a baby that was so happy.”

Wendy Williams has formally made moves to end her guardianship while continuing to deny her frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.

The former talk show host reportedly signed an affidavit Wednesday requesting that a judge remove her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, sources tell TMZ.

The news outlet’s insiders further alleged that Williams, 60, claims she has “regained capacity” to function independently.

Wendy Williams has reportedly filed a legal document to end her guardianship Wednesday.

Williams (pictured here in 2020) is also continuing to deny her frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.

Although Williams’ doctors diagnosed her with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in early 2024, she claims that she does not have the medical condition.

The sources also claimed that Williams is set to be “re-evaluated by a doctor” on Feb. 18.

This evaluation would take place nearly two weeks after Morrissey requested a new medical exam for Williams.

The tabloid’s sources further alleged that Williams will be “re-evaluated by a doctor” on Feb. 18.

The move for Williams to be re-evaluated comes one week after the TV personality’s guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, requested a new medical evaluation for her.

The doctor has allegedly been selected by the attorney that Williams hired to help her end the guardianship.

This move comes after she fired her court-appointed attorney, Linda Redlisky, on Jan. 29.

Additionally, insiders tell the outlet that Williams’ lawyer plans to file an “Emergency Order to Show Cause” the day after her medical evaluation.

The legal petition will “force the issue” with the judge who will ultimately decide whether or not Williams’ guardianship should be terminated.

If the judge denies Williams’ request, sources claim she will “demand” a trial by jury where jurors will decide if the guardianship should end.

On Feb. 5, Williams called into “The Breakfast Club” where she slammed her FTD diagnosis as “disgusting” and “fake.”

Should the judge deny Williams’ request, TMZ’s sources said that she plans to “demand” a trial by jury where jurors will decide if the guardianship should end.

Hours before Williams signed the legal document, she appeared on “TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy” where she claimed that she’s only been outdoors “twice” in the last 30 days.

“In the last 30 days I went out twice,” the former radio personality said in the documentary. One of those times was for a dentist appointment.

Before she signed the legal document Wednesday, Williams appeared on “TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy” where she claimed she has only been outside “twice” in the last month.

Morrissey has said that Williams’ condition will “only get worse and there is no cure.”

Williams appeared on “The Breakfast Club” on Feb. 5 and slammed her FTD diagnosis as “disgusting” and “fake.”

“That’s a very rare thing for anybody to have,” she said after calling into the radio show. “I’m not incapacitated. I am not a baby.”

Morrissey’s court filing, which comes after Williams’ appearance on the radio show, says that Williams’ condition will “only get worse and there is no cure.”

Kate Middleton gives special nod to William, Harry’s mom as she prepares to become future Queen

Kate Middleton honours Princess Diana with significant gesture

Kate Middleton has been gradually returning to work but the Princess now had new priorities especially after her cancer journey last year.

The Princess of Wales has reportedly been making significant changes at the Palace as she continues to make meaningful appearances representing her position as the future Queen.

Kate has often used her style choices to send hidden messages and give tributes to key figures in the royal family. However, it was implied by a Kensington Palace official that the outfit details of the Princess would no longer to be shared in order to keep the focus on her work.

However, that claim was clarified by the spokesperson that it was not a decision made by the Princess herself.

Despite the details of Kate’s outfits would be revealed or not, a designer expressed that the Princess of Wales will have the ‘Kate effect’ on brands regardless.

“We are used to working with Hollywood celebrities, but she is not that sort of celebrity,” Petar Petrov the Austrian-based designer told People Magazine.

“Kate is a very different thing entirely, she is truly one of a kind. She is not a movie star or a top model, she is an amazing addition for us.”

She also noted that Kate channels her late mother-in-law Princess Diana in a special way.

“I think she looks much more modern in the way she dresses now,” Petar continued. “She looks relaxed, and I think she can win the hearts of people even more because she feels like a real person that people can connect with, like Princess Diana.”

The designer suggested it makes Kate “special and makes her even more relevant than ever.”

Kate had made waves as she wore the designer’s chocolate brown wool-blend blazer during a visit to the National Portrait Gallery earlier in February.

Grimes thinks son X Æ A-XII ‘should not be in the public’ after White House appearance

Grimes on Elon Musk bringing son X Æ A-XII to White House

Grimes is not happy.

The singer has voiced her concern after her ex-partner, Elon Musk, brought their 4-year-old son, X Æ A-XII, to a press conference at the White House.

On Tuesday, Musk arrived at the Oval Office with their son, commonly known as X, to meet with President Donald Trump as he signed an executive order expanding the powers of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. 

During the event, X captured attention by making playful faces and sitting on his father’s shoulders while Musk addressed reporters.

While the moment sparked mixed reactions online, Grimes expressed worry over their son’s public exposure. After a fan alerted her to X’s appearance, she responded on Musk’s social media platform, X, saying:

“He should not be in public like this. I did not see this, thank u for alerting me.”

She added in a follow-up post:

“But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”

The response came after a user praised the toddler for being “very polite” during the meeting.

Musk, 53, and Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, began dating in May 2018 and welcomed their son in 2020. 

The couple largely kept their relationship private and quietly expanded their family with the birth of their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl Musk, known as Y, via surrogate in December 2021. They did not publicly share the news until March 2022.

In June 2022, they had a third child, Techno Mechanicus, nicknamed Tau, but the birth remained undisclosed until September 2023. 

By the end of 2022, Musk and Grimes had officially ended their relationship and have since been embroiled in an ongoing custody dispute.

Valerie Bertinelli

Valerie Bertinelli has Drew Barrymore’s back when it comes to criticisms over the TV host’s “touchy-feely” interview style.

During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on Friday, January 31, Barrymore, 49, Bertinelli, 64, and Ross Mathews, 45, spoke about the E.T. actress’ trademark hosting technique.

Barrymore referenced a 2017 Wired article about studies that claimed human touch has a number of benefits including increasing happiness and success as well as minimizing stress.

“I may or may not have brought this story to the news desk because I’m known to glom on to other humans,” Barrymore said. “I also just may not be your cup of tea and you may not want at all to be touched. And I’m so sorry for that.”

However, Bertinelli rebuffed her apology, reassuring Barrymore that it was unnecessary.

“Do not apologize for being so authentic,” Bertinelli told Barrymore. “I mean, touch is what keeps us connected. Communication is what keeps us in. You are communicating and touching. You are doing your job. That’s what you’re here on this Earth to do.”

Echoing the sentiment, Matthews agreed that there was no need for Barrymore to apologize for being overly touchy.

“It’s so authentically you,” Matthews told her. “This is how you are. You couldn’t change you if you tried.”

Admitting that not every guest is as comfortable with being touched, Barrymore explained that she is just naturally a touchy-feely person.

“But I also know it’s not everybody’s cup of tea,” the actress added. “I was just happy to find out that there is scientific, neurological benefits.”

Drew Barrymore

Barrymore has received backlash in the past for her friendly and tactile interview style, including when Martha Stewart appeared as a guest on the show in November 2024.

During Stewart’s appearance on the show, Barrymore looked to get a little touchy when discussing what made the celebrity cook “soft and gooey” on the inside.

“Soft and gooey treatment?” Stewart, 83, responded before Barrymore clarified, “When you’re treated like a lady.”

As Barrymore touched Stewart’s shoulder, the lifestyle guru playfully pushed her away while telling her, “You’re the wrong gender.”

In response, Barrymore joked, “I know! Although, the way it’s going with men, Martha, I’m not so sure anymore.”

Barrymore also referenced her tendency to touch people during an episode of her show in December 2024.

“I’m so touchy,” the host admitted. “People have to warn me, they’re like, ‘Back off a little bit.’ And I’m like, ‘Why?’”

Barrymore went on to explain that perhaps her current relationship status was behind the desire for human touch.

“Because physical connection — you know, I’m single, I’m not dating anyone,” Barrymore added. “I don’t have that in my life but I don’t know how I would ever hold back from holding hands, hugging, snuggling.”

Prince William skips BAFTAs to champion young filmmakers at London Screen Academy

The Prince of Wales engaged with students working on their latest projects

Prince William recently visited the London Screen Academy, immersing himself in the world of budding filmmakers as part of his ongoing commitment to the British creative industries. 

His visit, which comes just days after Kensington Palace confirmed that he and Princess Kate would not be attending this year’s BAFTA Film Awards, underscored his focus on nurturing emerging talent rather than walking the red carpet.

At the academy, which was founded to bridge skill gaps and improve diversity in the UK’s film sector, the Prince of Wales engaged with students working on their latest projects. 

He observed their creative process firsthand, learning about the challenges and opportunities they face in the evolving entertainment landscape.

As BAFTA President, Prince William remains dedicated to supporting the next generation of industry professionals, reinforcing his commitment to fostering new talent and breaking down barriers in British film, television, and gaming.

Paper straws “don’t work, I’ve had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they explode”, says Trump

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order pushing for a return to plastic drinking straws, saying their impact on marine life was limited and that paper ones favoured by environmentalists “explode.”

The order by Republican Trump reverses a target set by his Democratic predecessor Joe Biden to eliminate single-use plastic utensils like straws across government agencies by 2035.

“We’re going back to plastic straws,” Trump told reporters as he signed the order in the Oval Office.

“These things don’t work, I’ve had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they explode. If something’s hot, they don’t last very long, like a matter of minutes, sometimes a matter of seconds. It’s a ridiculous situation,” Trump said.

Environmentalists have long campaigned for an end to the use of plastic straws and other utensils, saying they pollute marine environments in particular.

But Trump — who has long appeared vexed by paper straws — rejected their concerns.

“I don’t think that plastic is going to affect a shark as they’re eating, as they’re munching their way through the ocean,” said Trump.

Presenting the document for Trump to sign, White House staff secretary Will Scharf said the environmental impact was “entirely debatable” and that American consumers were “wildly dissatisfied with their straws.”

Trump, who has called climate change a “scam,” has issued a series of orders on the environment since returning to the White House for a second term.

He pulled out of the Paris climate change agreement soon after his inauguration on January 20 and has pledged to “drill, baby, drill” for oil.

Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show shattered records, including one held by Michael Jackson for 30 years

Kendrick Lamar performs at the 2025 Super Bowl while Michael Jackson performs at the 1993 show

Kendrick Lamar has officially dethroned Michael Jackson.

The rapper’s recent Super Bowl halftime show has become the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show in history, a record previously held by the King of Pop for over 30 years.

Roc Nation, Apple Music, and the NFL confirmed on Tuesday, February 11, that Kendrick’s Super Bowl LIX performance drew 133.5 million viewers, edging out Jackson’s legendary 1993 show, which had 133.4 million.

“We’ve broken the record again! The most-watched Apple Music Halftime show EVER,” the companies announced on Instagram. 

Lamar’s performance even surpassed the game itself, which averaged 126 million viewers, as the Philadelphia Eagles claimed victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with a final score of 40-22.

The milestone marks another historic achievement for Lamar, who became the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. His set featured guest appearances from Samuel L. Jackson, SZA, Serena Williams, and Mustard, and was packed with tracks from his chart-topping 2024 album GNX. 

The Humble rapper performed hits like Squabble Up, Peekaboo, Luther and All the Stars (with SZA), and TV Off, before closing with his five-time Grammy-winning Drake diss Not Like Us.

Lamar and SZA will soon take their record-breaking energy on the road, kicking off their Grand National Tour in April, with a U.K. and Europe leg set for July.

Meghan Markle takes important step for future as Prince Harry left solo in Canada

Meghan Markle shifts focus on new plans as she leaves Prince Harry solo

Meghan Markle is continuing to work behind the scenes as the Duchess of Sussex shifts focus on her individual secret projects.

Prince Harry was accompanied by his wife for the first few days of the Invictus Games in Vancouver and Whistler.

It is understood that Meghan is expected to fly back to California to race back to her children, Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

Before Meghan stepped out for the Harry’s major event, reports emerged that the former Suits actress had been planning to write a divorce book, not about her first husband, but about her alleged split with King Charles’ son.

Meghan was previously married to Trevor Engelson, whom she divorced after two years of marriage in 2013.

Reportedly, her team had reached out with a proposal to judge how would the project fare.

While sources denied reports that anything was finalised between Meghan’s team or the publishers, other insiders rubbished the claims stating that the Duchess would have been approached by publishers not vice versa.

Meghan may not be writing a book on divorce but she seems to be using her split to create new friendships in Hollywood. The Duchess of Sussex, who recently attended Kerry Washington’s birthday, befriended Jessica Alba, who herself divorced her partner of 20 years last month.

Sources revealed to Closer Magazine that Jessica and Meghan bonded during Kerry’s birthday as they discussed their marriages.

“Meghan was very excited about going to Kerry’s birthday celebration – mainly at the thought of befriending her A-list pals, knowing how well-connected she is in Hollywood,” the insider told the outlet.

The source noted that as Meghan’s A-list friendship circle is “rapidly declining,” she’s hoping this new friendship with Jessica can flourish.

“[Meghan hopes that she’ll be welcomed into her social circle with the likes of Kate Hudson and Jennifer Garner as she continues to do whatever she can to hang onto her Hollywood star status.”
