THE OFFSPRING ALMOST STOLE ‘CHINESE DEMOCRACY’ FROM GUNS N’ ROSES – (04/16/2021)

Did you know that The Offspring almost stole the Chinese Democracy album from Guns N’ Roses? Back in 2003, Axl Rose had been working on Guns N’ Roses follow up to Use Your Illusion I & II and was spending a lot of money on a project called Chinese Democracy for the better part of the decade.

As a joke, The Offspring put together a press releasing announcing Chinese Democracy as the title of their seventh studio album. Dexter Holland said in a statement to MTV, “You snooze you lose.  Axl ripped off my braids, so I ripped off his album title.” Axl Rose took the press release seriously and sent the band a cease and desist. At the time, Holland responded, saying, “I don’t think we ever seriously considered using that name. But we could have if we wanted because you can’t copyright or trademark an album title or a song title. Think of all the songs that are called ‘I Love You’ or ‘Baby, Baby.’ ”

The Offspring‘s upcoming album Let The Bad Times Roll is due out today (April 16th).

KATE TO MAKE PEACE BETWEEN HARRY & WILLIAM? – (04/15/2021)

All eyes will be on Princes William and Harry at Prince Philip’s funeral Saturday. The brothers, who have been at odds since Harry and Meghan Markle left their senior royal posts, saw their relationship worsen after their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey

In the interview, Harry confirmed rumors that he and his brother had been growing apart, saying “the relationship is ‘space’ at the moment” — though he added that “time heals all things, hopefully.”

He said that his father Prince Charles was also not accepting his calls. 

Saturday will be the first time the brothers come face-to-face since they left the U.K. for California with their son Archie. Many expect the reunion to be emotional, and perhaps a reminder of their shared grief when they walked behind their mother Princess Diana’s coffin in 1997. 

Some are even pegging Kate Middleton, William’s wife, as the potential peacemaker between the brothers.

QUEEN WILL ‘NEVER’ ABDICATE AND UNDERSTANDS WHY MEGHANMARKLE CAN’T ATTEND FUNERAL – (04/14/2021)

Queen Elizabeth is turning 95 soon, but don’t expect her to step down, sources tell People, amid whispers that she could turn the throne over to her son Prince Charles after her husband Prince Philip’s death. She actually returned to public duties Tuesday, according to reports. She met with William Peel, 3rd Earl Peel, and hosted a ceremony to mark his retirement from the position of Lord Chamberlain. The Chamberlain oversees all public royal ceremonies and engagements, including royal weddings, state visits and the Queen’s famous garden parties; he has been replaced by ormer MI5 chief Andrew Parker.

A former aide tells People of her plans to be accompanied by family members at future engagements: “Her family will step up and be by her side, but she will carry on. She understands that she has a job to do, and [Philip] would have wanted her to crack on. She did do so when he retired from public life.”

A close royal insider adds, “She will never abdicate because of duty and honor and public service is so deep in her, as it was for him.”

Meanwhile, amid grumbling over Meghan Markle’s decision to stay in California as her husband Prince Harry heads to Philip’s funeral, the Queen apparently gets it. This week, a palace spokesperson said that she was advised “by her physician to not travel,” as she is pregnant. She will remain at home with Archie, who is 2. 

“It was always a given that Harry would return to England for his grandfather’s passing,” a California source tells PEOPLE, adding that after Philip’s death both Meghan and Harry “were in contact with the Queen.” 

“Meghan expressed condolences. The Queen understands why she can’t travel at the moment,” the source adds.

Harry is reportedly isolating at his and Meghan’s Windsor home, Frogmore Cottage. The funeral will be held on Saturday at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
