Meghan Markle Will Give Her First TV Interview Since Leaving the U.K. on Good Morning America


For those of you who’ve been desperate to hear from Meghan Markle since the duchess and Prince Harry stepped down from their senior royal duties, pay attention.

Over the weekend, Good Morning America advertised the appearance, noting that Markle will share an exclusive first look at her the Disney documentary she narrated, Disneynature’s Elephant.

Narrating the documentary, which follows a herd of elephants as they cross 1,000 miles of the Kalahari Desert in search of water, marks Markle’s first gig announced since leaving the U.K. “She was absolutely intrigued by the elephants and transfixed, especially by the female empowerment side,” filmmaker Vanessa Berlowitz told People on April 2. “It really is all about female leadership. It’s a different form of power—it’s about consensual leadership. It’s also very inclusive, as well—very contemporary.” Prince Harry even made an appearance in the recording studio.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Markle and Prince Harry, who recently made the move to Los Angeles, have been volunteering with Project Angel Food, a Los Angeles organization that prepares and delivers healthy meals to those affected by COVID-19 and other serious ailments. Entertainment Tonight reports that the couple first volunteered on Easter Sunday and then delivered another 20 meals on Wednesday, April 15.

“They told us they heard our drivers were overloaded and wanted to volunteer to lighten the drivers’ workload,” Project Angel Food’s executive director Richard Ayoub said. The couple reportedly followed all social distancing guidelines, staying six feet away from others and wore masks and gloves. “I am blown away that they chose us. They care about our vulnerable population,” Ayoub said. “Our clients are most at risk to contract the coronavirus, having compromised immune systems including heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and most are over the age of 60.”

No word yet on whether or not Markle will open up about her family’s choice to step back from life as senior royals, but we’ll definitely be tuning in to Good Morning America on Monday, April 20 at 7 a.m. EST.

Jennifer Aniston's Morning Show Character Is Making Me Embrace the Power Coat


Hey, reader! While you’re here to for “power coat” inspo, check out more outerwear we love: In any Glamour story featuring a shopping bag icon, you can instantly shop a selection of related products, curated by us. Check out our picks to your left on desktop and right on mobile. Happy shopping!

Jennifer Aniston gives one of her best performances ever in Apple TV+’s new series The Morning Show. In it she plays Alex Levy, a long-running morning talk show anchor whose world flips upside down when her co-host becomes embroiled in a #MeToo scandal. As Levy, Aniston is nuanced, complex, and captivating. She also wears a red trench coat in the third episode that I can’t get out of my head.

The coat, which you can see in the clip, below, is perfect, and Alex wears it when she’s grilling the male executives who run her network. “I’ve let you bozos handle this long enough,” she says at one point. “We’re doing things my way.”

Here’s the thing: Alex could’ve worn sweatpants during this scene, and I’d still be terrified—but the red coat adds an extra oomph. So much oomph, in fact, that I’ve decided I need to wear a power coat during all my future arguments.

What is a power coat, you ask? Well, it has to have at least one of these three qualities: (1) structure, (2) a bold color, or (3) long length. The ultimate power coat will have all three, like Alex’s.

These celebrities, below, have all embraced the, well, power of the power coat. Take a look for yourself, and shop accordingly.

The Morning Show: Everything We Know So Far


The Internet practically erupted in July 2017 when news broke that Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon would be starring in an upcoming series for Apple TV titled The Morning Show. The project is the actors’ first together since playing sisters on Friends nearly 20 years ago, and it looks good. Like, really good. Details around The Morning Show are scarce at this point, but we have a full trailer and mini-teaser that give away some tea. Here’s everything we know about the series so far.

The release date. Fall 2019, according to the first teaser that Apple TV dropped in August. An exact date isn’t known at this time.

The premise. Per the first official trailer, The Morning Show focuses on how the staff of a popular A.M. news program copes with its lead anchor, Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell), being fired in the wake of a scandal. At the center of this drama is Kessler’s co-anchor, Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston), who attempts to carry on without him but faces backlash from sexist executives. Reese Witherspoon plays another reporter, Bradley Jackson, who comes into the mix and shakes things up. Watch the trailer for yourself, below:

The cast. Aniston, Witherspoon, and Carell are the leads of the show. Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw also star. A full cast list can be found here.

Gender dynamics are at the center of this story. “Through the prism of those under-slept, over-adrenalized people in front of and behind the camera, we take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace, and we engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they’re behind closed doors,” Aniston said at a preview event for the show, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Your First Look at Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon's The Morning Show Is Here


We finally have our first glimpse of Jennifer Aniston’s long-awaited return to television. The Friends’ alum stars alongside Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carrell in the Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show. Based on CNN’s Brian Stelter’s 2013 book, Top of The Morning, in which he chronicles the rivalry between Good Morning America and The Today Show, the series has been called by Apple a “high-stakes drama that pulls back the curtain on early morning TV.” And the freshly dropped trailer proves it’s just that—with an emphasis on the drama.

While we don’t actually see any of the actors (who all star as key players on the morning TV show) in this sneak peek, we hear them argue in voiceover as the camera takes us on a tour of the studio. “Don’t you ever question my integrity in my own house again,” Aniston warns her colleagues at one point. Later, she yells, “We are doing this my way!”

At an Apple Event this spring, Aniston revealed the show would be told “through the prism of those under-slept, over-adrenalized people in front of and behind the camera.” She added, “We take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace, and we engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they’re behind closed doors.”

Witherspoon—who will be reuniting with Aniston for the first time since playing her younger sister Jill on Friends—also attended the same event, where she shared that “The Morning Show is seen through the eyes of two ambitious, aspirational female characters.”

“It’s a high-velocity thrill ride in which we pose questions without easy answers and shine a light on the fault lines in our society at this very complicated cultural moment,” Witherspoon added.

While the official premiere date for the show is unknown—it’s slated for fall 2019—Apple has already ordered a second, 10-episode season. And though little is revealed in this first trailer, it’s clear the show will be a ripped-from-the-headlines look at the dramatic, often heartbreaking news cycle Americans see every day.

An Explosive Fire Erupted at the Coachella Campground Early Saturday Morning


A large fire broke out at Coachella around 2 A.M. PST Saturday morning, following the first night of the music festival. Festivalgoers say they heard explosions and noticed that a mobile shower area had gone up in flames, with one camper reportedly fleeing from the area in his towel and calling on others to get out.

The Riverside County Fire Department responded quickly, blocking off the area and making sure everyone was safe. They contained the fire by 2:28 A.M, according to their Twitter. The Evening Standard reports that the festival sent out an alert to campers telling them to “STAY AWAY” (emphasis Coachella’s) from the burning showers in lot 4B.

As of 9 A.M. EST, no injuries have been reported, thankfully, although the footage captured by those at the festival definitely looks terrifying.

According to the fire department, there were two mobile shower trailers involved, one of which was “damaged” and the other “destroyed.”

It’s still TBD exactly what caused the fire, though some festivalgoers seem to think it was a propane tank near the shower block.

We’ll update this post as we know more.

NBC Cancels Megyn Kelly’s Morning Show Following Blackface Controversy


Megyn Kelly Today has been canceled by NBC following comments she made about wearing blackface on Halloween in a Tuesday taping. An NBC spokesperson said in a statement to Glamour, “Megyn Kelly Today is not returning. Next week, the 9:00 A.M. hour will be hosted by other Today coanchors.” Though Kelly made an on-air apology, rumors have been swirling about the future of the show for days and she did not appear live on Thursday or Friday morning after NBC confirmed to People that it would air taped episodes for the remainder of the week. “They’re contacting the staff and reassigning everyone today. Everyone’s being told that they still have a home here, but it won’t be on Megyn’s show,” one source told People.

The Tuesday incident had some believing that Kelly was defending blackface, asking “What is racist?” She added: “You do get in trouble if you’re a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid that was OK as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.”

“I can’t keep up with the number of people we’re offending just by being normal people,” Kelly continued.

The backlash was swift. Kelly’s Today colleagues condemned her behavior on the air. “She owes a bigger apology to folks of color,” Al Roker said. And Craig Melvin called her statement “ignorant and racist.”

Kelly was a contentious hire for NBC from the start, given her background at Fox News, where she had a reputation for inflammatory statements like declaring that Santa Claus and Jesus could only be white. And the controversies didn’t stop once she took over the nine o’clock hour of Today. There was an awkward interview with Jane Fonda during which Kelly kept pressing the actress to speak about her plastic surgery. Then there was the time she joked with Suzanne Somers about sex while asleep. Or when she spoke out against gun control after the Las Vegas shooting.

The show has also struggled in the ratings, which is a problem for the network when Kelly is signed to a contract that is reportedly worth $23 million a year. Sources say that Kelly is still negotiating her exit package from NBC which could amount to tens of millions of dollars.

Reactions on social media were mixed, with some praising the choice to cancel the show and others finding it unfair.

Kelly has yet to comment on the cancellation.
