Angry Queen Really Stormed IN

Maybe the Queen didn't storm off in a huff during that photoshoot with Annie Leibovitz after all. Or maybe the BBC is just worried about getting its charter renewed. Either way, the organization has apologized and "admitted the sequence of events in a BBC1 documentary about the Queen had been misrepresented and would not be shown that way in the final programme." Turns out the old lady was actually bitching and moaning as she arrived for the shoot. That's how we like our monarchs: surly from the get-go.

Sigh. Like a candle in a really pink wind. You were too good for this world, Gottfried Alexander Leopold Graf von Bismarck-Schönhausen. And who are we to emulate now?

Matt Lauer: "No Quid Pro Quo" For Princes Harry & William

Today NBC's Matt Lauer participated in a conference call with journalists about the Dateline interview he did recently with Prince William and Prince Harry, and about the Concert for Diana that NBC is broadcasting on Sunday. But some journalists didn't want to play along—they kept asking him pesky questions about whether he'd gotten the interview with the princes because the network had ponied up $2.5 million for the rights to air the concert. Not surprisingly, Lauer denied it. More »
