Serena Williams Offers Some Wedding Advice to Her Good Friend Meghan Markle


We’re just about three weeks away from the big royal wedding and the final details are falling into place. Kensington Palace has officially confirmed what we already assumed: Prince William will serve as best man to his little brother Prince Harry. The music for the ceremony is set. And at long last, we’re starting to hear more about who will actually be in attendance. Yesterday, Meghan Markle’s friend, actress Priyanka Chopra, confirmed that she will be there to witness the vows on May 19.

Now another of Markle’s good pals, Serena Williams, is speaking out about the royal nuptials. In an interview with Good Morning America‘s Robin Roberts, Williams played coy about whether or not she’ll be donning a fascinator to watch Markle walk down the aisle. “I don’t know,” she said. “I think it’s during one of the tournaments, so we’ll see if I can make it.” She then jokingly chastised Roberts, “Robin, don’t be asking me them questions!” (The French Open begins the Monday after the royal wedding.)

Williams did, however, have some advice for the bride-to-be: “I just think it’s so important to enjoy the moment. And eat the cake—I didn’t get to eat mine at the wedding. We were just having so much fun!” She continued, “If I could give her any advice it would just be to enjoy the preparation and enjoy the planning. It just goes so fast.”

Williams obviously knows a thing or two about planning a high-profile wedding. She married Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian in a lavish New Orleans ceremony last year with a French ball meets Beauty and the Beast theme. The guest list included people many would consider American royalty from Beyoncé to Kim Kardashian West. She even chose a royal-adjacent dress designer. Markle’s soon-to-be sister in law also wore Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen when she wed Prince William seven years ago.

Fingers crossed we see Serena across the pond in a few weeks.

Priyanka Chopra Confirms She's Attending Her Good Friend Meghan Markle's Wedding


It’s official: Priyanka Chopra is attending her good friend Meghan Markle wedding to Prince Harry. The Quantico actress confirmed the news to Us Weekly on Wednesday (April 25).

Granted, Chopra didn’t tell the magazine much. At this point, all we know is that she’s attending. Chopra doesn’t even know what she’s wearing. “I sort of may have an idea,” Chopra told Us Weekly. “But no, I haven’t picked one out yet.”

This news, while exciting, shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Markle and Chopra have been friends for years. In fact, the Baywatch star has come to Markle’s defense several times in the press—including when Wendy Williams referred to her as just “Prince Harry’s girlfriend.”

“I’ve known Meghan for three years, and I’m so happy the way the world has responded to her because as long as I’ve known her…she is a relatable young woman of the world today,” Chopra also told Us Weekly. “She’s that girl who thinks out of the box. She has always been an activist. She has always had a strong voice. She’s an ambitious girl of today. I think the world needs strong role models like Meghan. I think, I hope, Meghan will end up being one of those people.”

Chopra expressed similar kind sentiments about Markle in an essay for Time magazine. (Markle and Prince Harry were included in the publication’s annual 100 Most Influential People list.) “With her, what you see is real, and what you get is a relatable young woman with her heart and mind in the right place,” Chopra wrote of her soon-to-be duchess friend.

The royal wedding guest list is, by and large, still a mystery; however, it’s slowly but surely trickling out. In addition to Chopra, Kensington Palace announced a few weeks back that Markle and Prince Harry invited about 3,000 members of the British public to their nuptials. It’s also safe to assume Prince Harry’sfamily members—like Prince William, Kate Middleton, and, of course, the Queen—will also be in attendance.

TBH, I’m still waiting for my invitation to arrive in the mail.

Adele Wrote the Nicest Essay About Her ‘Goofball’ Friend Rihanna


Rihanna and Adele are two music queens in their own rights—and their love for each other is palpable. In 2012, RiRi said Adele didn’t “know the depth of [her] affection” toward her and that she became “so attached” to her album, 21. Adele’s said similar things about Rihanna—but none are more wonderful than the tribute she just wrote for the “Diamonds” singer in light of Time magazine dubbing Rih one of its 100 most influential people.

“I actually can’t remember the first time I met Rihanna; I was probably numb from the shock of it,” the “Hello” singer wrote in her blurb. “Whenever I’ve met her, she’s been the most gracious, loyal, and funny goofball of an icon. She glows like when someone’s taken a picture with a flash and you’re dazed for a few minutes after. But it’s also very clear in that glow that she genuinely doesn’t give a f-ck; she’s fearless and full of all the right kind of attitude to be everything that she is and will be forever.”

Adele went on to describe Rihanna’s song “Pon de Replay” as an “absolute banger” (accurate) and praised the Fenty maestro for blazing her own trail in the industry. “She has designed and conquered an entire lane of her own. The innovative and groundbreaking world of Rihanna that no one else will ever be safe in and get away with copying,” Adele wrote. “She makes her own rules and bends ours.”

So…does all this love mean a collaboration is in the works? Take my money now, if so.

Taylor Swift Serves as a Bridesmaid for Her Best Friend Abigail Anderson


Aside from launching a massive, record-breaking single and releasing a music video that’s spawned a thousand fan theories—you know, normal things—Taylor Swift has mostly remained out of the public eye lately. She even skipped this year’s MTV VMAs, even though the award show was premiering her “Look What You Made Me Do” video and, in past years, was a favorite red carpet event of hers.

After a year-plus of ups and downs, it makes sense Taylor would want to keep her private life…well, private. That said, if there’s one thing that can get the singer to make a rare appearance it’d be a squad member’s wedding—especially one where Taylor is a bridesmaid.

On Sunday, September 2, Taylor was photographed at her best friend Abigail Anderson’s wedding in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. (Taylor’s mom, Andrea Swift, was also there!) Taylor wore a floor-length burgundy gown with a sweetheart neckline and matching lipstick. According to E! News, an eyewitness says Taylor was dressed in the same color as the bridesmaids and flower girls, but the singer’s dress was a different style than the other ‘maids. We’re looking into who makes the dress and will keep you posted once we find out. Until then, take a look:

As any proper Taylor fan knows by now, Taylor and Abigail have been friends since high school—the song “Fifteen” was famously written about Abigail. Since then, they’ve remained close. Abigail even scored an invite to Taylor’s infamous Fourth of July party last year—yes, the one with the “I <3 T.S.” shirt.

Taylor also threw Abigail and her fiancé (now husband), Matt Lucier, an engagement celebration:

Congrats, Abigail and Matt!
