Although Princess Diana didn’t know much at all about American football and had never been to an Eagles game in her life, she did rock the team’s colors numerous times.

Hey, Upper East Siders. “Gossip Girl” is back, and though the HBO Max reboot is clearly making it a point to show how this world has changed since the original CW series, there are certainly some distinct similarities. In fact, the reboot has already made some direct nods to its predecessor.
To recap, here’s what things are like for Manhattan’s elite in 2021. This “Gossip Girl” focuses on teens Julien Calloway (Jordan Alexander), Zoya Lott (Whitney Peak), Obie Bergmann IV (Eli Brown), Aki Menzies (Evan Mock), Audrey Hope (Emily Alyn Lynd), Max Wolfe (Thomas Doherty), Luna La (Zion Moreno) and Monet de Haan (Savannah Smith). They’re basically all influencers or socialites, and they spare Gossip Girl little more than snide comments, making fun of how things worked in the early 2000s.
Like in the original “Gossip Girl,” they attend Constance Billard/St. Jude’s, the prep school where the original series was set.

Photo: 'Rope'/Warner Bros. Everyone has heard of Alfred Hitchcock classics such as Psycho (1960) and Dial M for Murder (1954), even six decades after their release. His films are a masterclass in creating suspense with slow-building tension. Most of his well-known movies are the ones with old Hollywood superstars such as Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly and James “Jimmy” Stewart. One of his underrated classics, which we will unpack here, is a striking masterclass in moviemaking; his 1948 film Rope. Rope can be termed as a “reverse whodunit”, as it starts with a murder which only the audience sees. They already know who did it, they’re waiting to see if anyone else figures it out. Two men, Phillip (Farley Granger) and Brandon (John Dall) kill their friend David (Dick Hogan) for the thrill of it and stage a grotesque dinner party with his family and friends, all the while...

You don’t have to go the full De Niro, but an image change often leads to Oscar gold.
Known for comedy? Go dramatic. A tough guy? Go comedic. Strikingly beautiful? Glam down.
This awards season funny lady Melissa McCarthy, who earned a supporting actress Oscar nomination for the raunchy 2011 hit “Bridesmaids,” has been receiving stellar reviews for “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” as a prickly and lonely celebrity biographer. McCarthy is on the fast track for Oscar-consideration this year.
Also, a shoo-in for multiple award nomination is Lady Gaga, who traded in her meat dress and platinum blonde tresses for jeans and dark hair to play a struggling singer/songwriter in the acclaimed remake of “A Star is Born.”
Even when the Oscar was in its infancy, performers found altering an image caught the attention of the Academy voters.

It's no secret that most royal brides have a second wedding dress that they wear at either their regal reception or another event during their lavish wedding weekend. But, until now, we've never known that Grace Kelly, Princess of Monaco wore a second gown — and it was pink! According to Good Housekeeping, Grace donned a light pink taffeta suit top and a matching tea-length skirt featuring a fitted bodice and a rounded collar for her civil wedding ceremony to Prince Rainier at Monaco's royal palace in April 1956. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) The two-piece ensemble was reportedly created by Helen Rose, a costume designer who also worked with Grace on four movies during her Hollywood acting career. Rose additionally designed the Princess' iconic long-sleeved wedding gown when the star tied the knot with Prince Rainier on April 18, 1956. Late last month, Hello! magazine similarly uncovered that Princess Diana also wore a second...

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” star Mariska Hargitay praised those in the MeToo movement who had spoken out against sexual assault when she spoke Friday on stage at the opening ceremony of the 58th Monte Carlo Television Festival. The Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress was in the Principality of Monaco to receive the festival’s Crystal Nymph Award, given to an actor each year in recognition of an outstanding career.
Hargitay’s honor was awarded in part due to her advocacy work for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse through the Joyful Heart Foundation, which she founded in 2004. In presenting her the award, Prince Albert II of Monaco, who opened the festival as its honorary president, described her as a “brilliant actress and an outstanding personality.”
Hargitay thanked Dick Wolf, creator and executive producer of “Law & Order: Svu” and Honorary Consul to Monaco, for having “made so much possible for me.
