The name Anthony Armstrong-Jones may no longer be widely recognized on this side of the pond, but there was a time when the Earl of Snowdon was a tabloid fixture with as firm a grip on the public’s imagination as the most scandalous stars of today. The husband of Queen Elizabeth II’s sister, Princess Margaret, Snowdon lived out loud in a fashion that scandalized the royals and helped define the hedonistic zeitgeist of the Swinging Sixties. A photographer, filmmaker and unabashed bohemian, Snowdon captivated Britons when he married Margaret in 1960, and his status as a relatable commoner amongst royals has earned him comparisons to Princess Diana. At first, Snowdon’s freewheeling lifestyle made him a perfect fit for the rebellious Margaret, and the British press fell in love with the young couple that was so unlike the more sedate Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Eventually, however, Snowdon’s appetite for promiscuous sex (with women and men alike), hard-partying, and hob-nobbing with his era’s biggest celebrities put a strain on his marriage, and he and Margaret divorced in 1978. In the years that followed, Snowdon was lauded for his discretion, turning down lucrative offers to pen a tell-all about his time as a royal in-law. Eventually, however, the more lurid details of his wild life and times came to light: Snowdon lived a life of extremes, at once both highly ambitious and accomplished (In addition to his artistic achievements, he received a patent for an electric wheelchair that he invented in 1971.), and given over to debauched behavior that’s shocking by today’s standards, let alone the stuffy mores of England in the early ’60s. One of the more recent gossip items about his personal life came to light in 2008, when Snowdon admitted to fathering a daughter out of wedlock just months before marrying Princess Margaret. The child – conceived during an alcohol and amyl-nitrate-fueled threesome – was born while Armstrong-Jones was on his honeymoon with Princess Margaret. It was only when she was in her late forties that the woman learned Snowdon was her father via a DNA test. Just months after his marriage to Margaret ended, Snowdon married Lucy Lindsay Hogg, who gave birth to his daughter, Frances, in 1979. Margaret never remarried, and died of a stroke in 2002. Though he’ll likely be best remembered for his involvement with the royals and his decadent lifestyle, those who followed Snowdon’s career say that he had a tremendous impact on the arts scene in London throughout his multi-decade career. The many famous subjects who sat for photo sessions with Snowdon say his charisma, warmth, and sense of humor made for a relaxed environment that resulted in uniquely intimate images. Sources say he passed away peacefully at home. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten

We don’t know about y’all, but every year we look forward to Skillz’ “Rap Up” . This one ran over five minutes long! Considering he had a presidential election to cover and the deaths of icons like Prince and Phife Dawg we can’t even be mad at that. Have a listen and let us know if you think there are any glaring omissions!
If you’ve been anywhere near an Internet-capable device in the past six months, then you’ve surely heard the jokes about what a used-tampon-and broken-glass salad 2016 has been. In fact, we’ve officially reached the point at which jokes about how awful 2016 is have made the list of awful things about 2016. Of course, that’s not to say the criticism is unwarranted. Far from it. By any measure, this has been a horrendous trip around the sun, and we’re all worse off for having endured it. Obviously, one of the most apparent ways in which 2016 sucked out loud is the staggering number of celebrity deaths it bore witness to. Thousands took to social media to jokingly ask Santa for a moratorium on beloved entertainers dropping dead, but sure enough, 2016 just waved an admonishing Dikembe Mutumbo finger in our collective faces. On Christmas Day, George Michael died at 53 . Two days later, Carrie Fisher passed away at the age of 60. In case there was any doubt that this year was based on a treatment written by George R.R. Martin, Fisher’s mother, Debie Reynolds, died the next freakin’ day. All of this, of course, comes at the end of the year in which David Bowie, Prince, Muhammad Ali, Merle Haggard, Alan Rickman, Harper Lee, and dozens of other artists, athletes and entertainers all shuffled off the mortal coil. Thankfully – and remarkably – some of our most senior icons survived 2016. Queen Elizabeth II is still with us. Keith Richards still has a few years left on his contract with the devil. And Betty White is still kicking ass as she approaches her 95th birthday. Now, having witnessed the brutality of 2016 firsthand, one man is fighting to make sure that Betty stays golden for the remainder of this bloodbath of a year. Earlier this week, South Carolina resident Demetrios Hrysikos launched a GoFundMe page with the goal of raising $2,000 to help him “protect” Betty from the ravages of 2016. Within 24 hours, he raised $2,900. Three days later, he’s raised $7,900. “If she’s OK with it, I will fly to where ever Betty White is and keep her safe till Jan 1 , 2017,” Hrysikos writes. Demetrios has allowed for the fact that Ms. White may not want “a strange Greek standing guard outside her door,” and has promised to donate all of the proceeds to the Spartansburg Little Theatre in the event that Betty declines his services. “2016 has taken so many great artists, and SLT helps support and nurture new budding talent in our town,” Hrysikos explains. “I’d like to think that Betty, Carrie [Fisher], and [David] Bowie would be happy with any proceeds going to that cause, which I assure you it will!” Naturally, there have been some skeptics, with some going so far as to call the campaign a “scam.” View Slideshow: 2016 Celebrity Deaths: 21 Tributes to 21 Stars Eh. We understand the concern, but as long as the money winds up where Hrysikos has said it will, we have no problem with what he’s doing. Hell, anyone who’s able to find a silver lining in the noxious mushroom cloud that is 2016 has our full support.
Congratulations! After kissing all of those frogs, Serena Williams has finally found her Prince, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. A rep for the tennis pro confirmed the engagement to E!News after she shared this sweet post, where else — on Reddit! The Future Mrs. Kn0thing refers to Ohanian’s Reddit username… Cute right? A source tells E! News Williams’ friends are “so happy” for her: “They’ve never seen Serena this happy before with a man. It sounds cheesy, but it was love at first sight.” Though the insider notes that they are “pretty opposite in many ways,” they are also very similar. “They laugh non-stop and that really fuels their relationship,” the insider says. “They are on the same page in life and are excited to start something great with each other and build and grow a family.” As for a wedding date? We’re told they’re hoping for it to happen in “about a year.” Our source notes, “Serena is excited to plan that!” We bet she is… We can’t wait either! Congrats Serena. Alex seems to be a really sweet guy. Hit the flip to see some of his IG PDA’s Instagram/JordanOplinger
