INSIDE PRINCE CHARLES’ SUCCESSION PLANS – (11/12/2020)

Prince Charles is preparing to become king. Sources tell Us Weekly that Charles is setting the stage in anticipation of his mother Queen Elizabeth II stepping down. 

A source tells Us: “Charles will serve as king with Duchess Camilla by his side. This is something he’s dreamed about his entire life — he sees it as his birthright, and Her Majesty would find it extremely difficult to deprive him of that.”

The Prince of Wales turns 72 on Saturday, November 14th, so the time, observers say, may be drawing near. Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell tells Us: “Charles has made it quite clear that he intends to slim down the monarchy and reduce the number of full-time working members of the family to those in the immediate line of succession.”

Charles is first in line for the throne, which the 94-year-old Queen has held since 1952. Next up is Prince William, then his three children with Kate Middleton: Prince George, 7, Princess Charlotte, 5, and Prince Louis, 2.

HALSEY CONSIDERING RECORDING A ROCK ALBUM – (11/12/2020)

Halsey is thinking about recording a rock album. 

The singer, who has already collaborated with Machine Gun Kelly and Bring Me the Horizon, told Vogue that when it comes to making a punk rock LP, “I do really want to, but it needs to come naturally.”

She added, “When that time comes, it’ll happen on its own.  I definitely need to do it eventually though, because I’m starting to age out of being angsty and punk.”

G-EAZY DENIES HALSEY POEM: Halsey’s new poem by an abusive ex is not about G-Eazy, his camp is saying. In her anthology, “I Would Leave Me If I Could,” Halsey included the poem “Lighthouse,” she wrote about a man who’s “7 feet tall” with dark hair and who does lines “for days on end” until he would “pace the room in circles,” at his California home and cry “banging his fist against his forehead” until his knuckles bled. His publicist told Page Six: “We understand everyone’s desire to continually link them for sensationalist purposes, but she did not name any names, so for anyone to speculate is just irresponsible.” (Page Six)

LASHANA LYNCH TALKS 007 BACKLASH – (11/06/2020)

Not everyone was psyched when news leaked that Lashana Lynch would make history by becoming the first female, Black 007. In a cover story with Harper’s Bazaar UK, the 32-year-old Brit opens up about how the backlash affected her. 

It was so extreme, Lynch deleted her social media apps, saw no one but family members and meditated. She realized it wasn’t personal, she told the mag.

“I am one Black woman—if it were another Black woman cast in the role, it would have been the same conversation, she would have got the same attacks, the same abuse,” she told the outlet. “I just have to remind myself that the conversation is happening and that I’m a part of something that will be very, very revolutionary.”

In No Time To Die, Lynch plays an agent named Nomi. In a pivotal scene, she is given the spy’s code number 007 told to find Daniel Craig and urge him out of retirement. 

She hopes to use the role as a stepping stone to open up the narrative around gender and race. 

“I feel very grateful that I get to challenge those narratives,” she said. “We’re moving away from toxic masculinity, and that’s happening because women are being open, demanding and vocal, and calling out misbehavior as soon as we see it.”

Lynch added: “I didn’t want to waste an opportunity when it came to what Nomi might represent. I searched for at least one moment in the script where Black audience members would nod their heads, tutting at the reality but glad to see their real life represented. In every project I am part of, no matter the budget or genre, the Black experience that I’m presenting needs to be 100 per cent authentic.”

No Time to Die is set to be released on April 2, 2021.
