Only two weeks earlier, Kate#39;s high school friend Jessica Hay broke the news to New Idea magazine, an Australian gossip rag. The Kate Middleton whistle-blower claimed the couple would reveal the big news in December, and that#39;s exactly what happened after Middleton was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with hyperemesis gravidarum, which is commonly referred to as acute morning sickness. The statement from Buckingham Palace read: “Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and
The Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics gets underway tonight, and you know what that means: So many Kate Middleton shots are sure to follow! As we learned at Wimbledon this year, whenever a major sporting event takes place in England, Kate and her husband are sure to be in attendance – and the camera is sure to follow. With the most major sporting event in the world descending on that nation for the next two weeks, male viewers can start celebrating now. And female viewers can start taking notes on Middleton’s fashion sense , starting with this photo, as she, William and Harry welcome the Olympic Torch to Buckingham Palace:
Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are headed back to the balcony that saw the kiss seen ’round the world. When they stepped out onto the balcony of Buckingham Palace last April 29 as husband and wife and kissed for the first time, it was a magic moment. Soon, the royals are set to return to that location in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee anniversary marking her 60-year reign, on June 5. Royal Wedding Kiss and Highlights Prior, the family will attend a service at St Paul’s Cathedral followed by two receptions, a lunch at Westminster Hall and a carriage procession to Buckingham Palace. Somehow we doubt William and Kate will upstage his grandmother with another kiss, but the royal wedding was a day many in the UK will remember. Taking the moment up a notch, after the much-anticipated public display of affection, a Royal Air Force flyover took to the skies to seal the spectacle. The Queen at least deserves that.
Ever since Kate Middleton’s wedding dress went on display, people from around the world have lined up at doors of Buckingham Palace to view a piece of history. In six weeks, the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding gown by Sarah Burton and Alexander McQueen has already been viewed by 350,000 visitors and counting. With one month to go, that number is expected to rise past 500,000. Among the first to check it out: Kate’s grandmother-in-law Queen Elizabeth . A spokesman for the Royal Collection says, “We’re thrilled that so many people have visited Buckingham Palace this summer in what looks to be a record year.” “The Royal Wedding attracted worldwide interest, so it’s only natural that many people want to come to experience the State Rooms used for the reception and take a closer look at The Duchess of Cambridge’s dress – which celebrates great British design.” Adult admission is $28.50, with the proceeds going to the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund, benefiting charities chosen by Prince William and Kate Middleton . In related news, The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge recently donated a vehicle given to them as a wedding present by Land Rover to Mountain Rescue. [Photo: WENN.com]

How nice, and rare, to see celebrity scandals end well for a change. Turns out Christina Aguilera’s boyfriend Matt Rutler was NOT too drunk to drive after all. Rutler got popped for DUI back in March, but citing insufficient evidence to prosecute, the L.A. District Attorney determined he won’t be charged with a crime. That’s because his blood alcohol content was ultimately determined to be .06, or under California’s legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08. So why was he busted? Matt has even more to smile about now that he’s in the clear! Aguilera, a passenger in the car at the time, was busted for public drunkenness when officers determined she was too plowed to take care of herself . Matt Rutler was likely arrested on suspicion of DUI by association. Hours after the arrest, officials decided they would not pursue any charges against the singer. Now they’ve exonerated her man, as well. Good for them. Well, except for the whole downward spiral thing.
