Prince Harry Reportedly ‘Cut Off’ Some of His Close Friends During Meghan Markle's Pregnancy


Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step down as senior members of the British royal family has obviously had tremendous ripple effects across the monarchy and the media. There has been an emergency summit with the queen, public statements refuting “bullying”, and so many rumors about how this all went down and exactly why the Sussexes wanted to carve out a “progressive new role” for themselves within the monarchy.

A source recently told People that Prince Harry “cut off” some of his close friends “about six months” into Markle’s pregnancy with baby Archie, who was born in May. “Most no longer even have his cell number,” the source said. “They totally understand that men often drift from their friends after marriage, but there’s still a lot of resentment because they had been so close for so long.”

Obviously, there could be a million reasons for this—assuming it’s even true. Who among us has not grown apart from friends we had in our youth, especially as lives start to diverge and people start their own families? It’s a totally natural (and not at all shady) thing to have happen. People also notes that the Duke of Sussex is still very close with his pal Charlie van Straubenzee. They attended each other’s weddings, and van Straubenzee is rumored to be one of Archie’s godparents. (In one of their many moves to do things differently, the Sussexes did not release the names of the godparents.)

While we await final decisions about the details regarding what Prince Harry and Markle’s future will look like as they divide time between the U.K. and North America, the duchess was spotted out and about visiting Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre on January 14, and Harry is scheduled to appear at an event at Buckingham Palace tomorrow (January 16).

Stassi Schroeder: My Friends Will Complain About Attending My Destination Wedding—And That’s Okay


Everyone’s been nice to my face about having to travel for our wedding, which I think is typical. No one’s going to tell you, “Ugh, that’s not ideal.” They’ll just talk behind my back—and that’s totally fine! I want to put on my wedding invitation,“If you cannot make it, if this is too overwhelming for you, seriously don’t come. We’re okay with that! Let’s go to dinner when we get back and celebrate privately. It is totally freaking fine if you think this is too much.”

The real challenge? That it’ll be filmed for Vanderpump Rules. When we went to Rome to scout locations, we took our wedding planners and our producer along. The issue is finding locations that are willing to film, which you’d think would be easy. But our first choice said no. It even affects the hotels. They have to sign off before I’m allowed to tell our guests where they can stay. Right now I’m waiting every single day to hear whether or not our venue has signed the Vanderpump Rules contract. Until then, we can’t start the actual planning. It’s at the point where both Beau and I said, “If we don’t get this venue, we’re just going to call it quits and go to the courthouse!”

Our venue, if the contracts go through, will be Villa Miani. What I love about it: We wanted an outdoor wedding that overlooks the city at dusk—at night you can see the whole city of Rome in lights. It’s so romantic. Again, we’re making people come all the way to Rome. Let’s give them a Roman experience!

As far as other activities, that’s something we have to plan with Vanderpump Rules in mind—because we have to be able to film it. People think that when you get married on TV, it’s like, “Oh, they just take care of it.” No, they do not take care of anything at all. It’s double the amount of hustle for us, and Bravo doesn’t pay for anything.

It’s frustrating at times: Beau and I are paying for the wedding ourselves. It’s our money, but I’m being told I can’t have my first choice in things. Sometimes I feel like, What am I doing this for? Why am I even going to film this? But at the same time, this is my life. I grew up on Vanderpump Rules. I started it in my early 20s. Now I’m in my early 30s, and all of my best friends are on the show. We’ve had the same crew for eight years—they’re like family to us. It’s my job, and my way of life, to show as much of my life as possible. I know that I’m lucky to have it all documented, and I’ll be able to share it with so many people once it airs.

So if I can’t get my first choice, then it’s fine. Beau’s on the same page as me: We don’t want to get too excited until we have something concrete. We’re constantly calling our producers and trying to figure out when we’ll have an answer. Until then, we’re both like, “Let’s focus on work and everything else right now.”

Emma From ‘Friends’ Just Hilariously Responded to Chandler’s 2020 Joke


Let me take you back to an episode of season nine from Friends: The gang has gathered for Rachel and Ross’s daughter Emma’s first birthday, and decide to make a video that they’ll gift her when she turns 18. Naturally, Chandler makes a joke in said video. “Hi, Emma. It’s the year 2020,” he says. (The character Emma was born in 2002, making her 18 in 2020.) “Are you still enjoying your nap?”

Well, it’s officially 2020, and one of the women who played Emma, Noelle Sheldon, has responded to Chandler’s joke. “Just woke up from the best nap of all time, happy 2020!! (ft. my poorly done photoshop) Hope everyone has an excellent year full of family, friends, and laughter!!” she wrote on Instagram alongside a pic of herself photoshopped into Central Perk. So Chandler was right: Emma really did nap for 18 years straight. (I kid.)

Check out Sheldon’s post for yourself, below:

And if you need help remembering the reference, here’s the clip from Friends season nine:

Noelle Sheldon and her twin sister, Cali, both played Emma on Friends. They surged back into the spotlight last year when fans learned they played the creepy twins in Jordan Peele’s horror movie Us.

Friends, meanwhile, is officially off Netflix and won’t return to another streaming platform until May. That’s when HBO Max, WarnerMedia’s upcoming streaming service, will start serving as the home to the beloved sitcom.

“HBO Max will bring together the diverse riches of WarnerMedia to create programming and user experiences not seen before in a streaming platform,” WarnerMedia Entertainment and direct-to-consumer chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement last year. “HBO’s world-class programming leads the way, the quality of which will be the guiding principle for our new array of Max Originals, our exciting acquisitions, and the very best of the Warner Bros. libraries, starting with the phenomenon that is Friends.“

The 5 Best (and Worst) Friends Episodes of All Time


Synopsis: Monica gets the wrong impression that Chandler is sexually attracted to sharks, so she picks up a documentary tape in order to seduce him.

Why it’s garbage: It’s a silly, nonsensical—not to mention creepy—storyline between two intelligent adults.

3. “The One With the Race Car Bed” (season 3, episode 7)

Synopsis: Monica accidentally has a child’s race car bed delivered to her apartment instead of a proper mattress; Ross bonds with Rachel’s dad at brunch by…making fun of Rachel.

Why it’s garbage: Name something less exciting than a furniture delivery. You can’t. Also, leave Rachel alone!

4. “The One With the Evil Orthodontist” (season 1, episode 20)

Synopsis: Rachel becomes embroiled in a love triangle between her ex-fiancé, Barry, and the friend he left her for, Mindy.

Why it’s garbage: Did we really have to give Barry the monster orthodontist more screen time? He doesn’t even get John Tuckered—Mindy takes him back, despite the fact he cheated on her with Rachel. Ridiculous!

5. “The One With the Breast Milk” (season 2, episode 2)

Synopsis: Ross gets immaturely grossed out after Phoebe tastes Carol’s breast milk.

Why it’s garbage: The first of many times Ross proved himself to be a reductive man child.

Friends Is Leaving Netflix for Good in January 2020


The day many Netflix users have dreaded for months is finally upon us: We now know when Friends is leaving the streaming platform.

This isn’t a total surprise, as the announcement that the show would move to Warner Bros. new streaming platform HBO Max came in July—but that doesn’t make it any less of a bummer. Plus, HBO Max isn’t slated to launch until the spring. That means there will be a few months without your Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, and Ross fix.

As of January 1, 2020, Friends will no longer be streaming on the platform, according to the recently updated “availability” section on the show’s official landing page. HBO Max’s official launch date has not been announced yet.

“HBO Max will bring together the diverse riches of WarnerMedia to create programming and user experiences not seen before in a streaming platform,” WarnerMedia Entertainment and direct-to-consumer chairman Robert Greenblatt said about the acquisition at the time. “HBO’s world-class programming leads the way, the quality of which will be the guiding principle for our new array of Max Originals, our exciting acquisitions, and the very best of the Warner Bros. libraries, starting with the phenomenon that is Friends. Under the leadership of two of the strongest creative visionaries—Casey Bloys (HBO) and Kevin Reilly (original content and acquisitions)—and two of the most experienced digital experts, Tony Goncalves and Andy Forssell, I have no doubt they and their dedicated teams will deliver the world’s best storytelling to audiences of all ages wherever and whenever they want it.”

But your Friends will still be there for you through the holidays, thank goodness. So get your fill of Smelly Cat, Ugly Naked Guy, Mrs. Chanandler Bong, and all that ’90s fashion while you can and take heart in the news that a reunion special is reportedly in the works for HBO Max.

“We would love for there to be something,” Jennifer Aniston recently told Ellen DeGeneres. “But we don’t know what that something is. So we’re just trying. We’re working on something.”

15 Nail Polish Gift Sets to Buy All Your Friends


We’re just going to say it: A nail polish gift set is one of the best things to leave under the tree this year. Sure, you could still give a gift card for the salon around the corner, but not everyone has the time to spend their entire Sunday afternoon getting a deluxe mani-pedi. And anyway, unlike a gel manicure, a nail polish gift set will last longer than two weeks.

ICYMI, 2019 was a great year for nails (we’re still obsessed with pearl manis and rainbow nails), and the same goes for the holiday nail gift sets that are landing on shelves right now. Grab one (or two), then make a DIY mani-pedi date with your best friend. Because with these sets, she’ll gladly cancel her standing weekly appointment with her manicurist.
