Prince William, Kate Middleton Found New Children’s Cancer Research & Treatment Center

The newly-married Prince William and Kate Middleton are always on the lookout for ways to help various charities, especially those involving children. On Monday, the royal couple will open the new Oak Centre for Children and Young People at The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, Surrey, England. The children’s unit will specialize in cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and education. William will unveil a plaque to officially open the children’s center before he and Kate Middleton , both 29, meet hospital staff, key donors and fundraisers. William was appointed President of The Royal Marsden Hospital in May 2007. The position was previously held by his mother, the late Princess Diana. The facility is one of the largest comprehensive children’s cancer centers in Europe, with 600 inpatients and more than 5,000 day patients every year. Back in April, William and Kate asked their wedding guests to donate to the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund in lieu of gifts. The guests obliged. The donations all went to benefit 26 charities personally chosen by the duo. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]

John Galliano Found Guilty of Hate Crimes

John Galliano was found guilty of hate crimes in a Paris court yesterday. The fashion designer, who claimed a drug problem was the basis for his Anti-Semitic rant in February, received a light sentence on Thursday, as a judge issued a suspended fine of 6,000 euros ($8,500), as well as a symbolic one euro fine to one of the plaintiffs in the case. Galliano will not serve any jail time. Said the attorney for the former House of Dior employee: “It’s a fair decision and a wise decision by the tribunal. Mr Galliano is relieved after several months. He wishes to apologize and he acknowledges that he caused harm. I think he’s relieved that all this is now behind him.”

Kate Middleton Pregnant With Twins? Nope!

This rumor runs counter to all the recent Kate Middleton weight loss gossip, but it’s actually been reported that she and Prince William are expecting twins! Not the case. Tabloids recently claimed the 29-year-old Duchess is pregnant twice over, a palace rep tells Us Weekly that she is not currently expecting any children. “Suffice to say that were it true, it would be us that announces it, not a gossip magazine,” the couple’s rep tells the entertainment news rag. Likely true. That doesn’t mean that the day won’t come, however. “I think we’ll take it one step at a time,” William

Anne Hathaway Wants to Be Kate Middleton

Anne Hathaway is obsessed with Kate Middleton – her words , not ours – so it’s not a surprise that she’d love to portray her if such an opportunity ever arose. While both women are gorgeous, to say the least, Anne’s attempt at a British accent in her new rom-com One Day is enough to give the UK public pause. Their beloved princess’ voice mustn’t be butchered, after all. When faced with what surely sounded like an innocuous red-carpet question, Hathaway said she would not rule out the possibility of playing the Duchess. “Yes, why not,” she said . “She’s great. It’s such a fairy tale.” Commenters on the Sun (UK) website were not too thrilled. “Stay away from that role,” warns one, succinctly summing up the views of many who feel that despite Anne’s talent, “You have a rubbish British accent.” What do you think? Would Anne make a good Duchess? If not, who would you prefer to see in the role? Also, is Kate Middleton losing too much weight ? [Photo: WENN.com]
