New Kate Middleton Sighting Raises Questions

By H. Alan Scott

Well, once again we're asking, 'Where is Kate Middleton?' The conspiracy theories just won't stop. (And now people are starting to speculate about King Charles too.) All she needs to do is a little live Zoom call or something. In other news, I'm kind of obsessed with this Elon Musk vs. Don Lemon fiasco. For Musk to kick Lemon's show off X just because he didn't like their interview, how crazy is that? (Yet, also not surprising). Beyond the drama, there has been some fun entertainment news this weekend. For example, Lindsay Lohan is fully back, and I for one am thrilled. Also, did you see the viral video of Drake giving a fan $25,000? Listen, I'm not a fan of live music, but I'd go to a concert if Drake is just handing out money.

There's also a ton of good things to watch this week. There's An Oprah Special: Shame, Blame and the Weight Loss Revolution airing Monday night on ABC; this Wednesday Kristen Wiig's Palm Royale premieres on Apple TV+; Regina King's Shirley comes to Netflix this Friday (listen to our chat about that); and Ramy Youssef has a new HBO comedy special coming out this Saturday called More Feelings. I'll be chatting with Ramy about that on the Parting Shot podcast this week, so make sure you're subscribed!

Don Lemon Says Elon Musk Most 'Touchy' Person He Has Ever Interviewed

By Ryan Smith

Don Lemon branded Elon Musk the most "touchy" and "sensitive" person he has ever interviewed after their recent sit-down led to the billionaire cutting business ties with the newsman's new show.

Former CNN host Lemon, who was ousted from the network last April, announced in January that he would launch The Don Lemon Show on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that was acquired by Musk in 2022.

However, Lemon revealed in a video shared on X last Wednesday that the partnership had been called off following a tense interview with the entrepreneur intended for the show's debut episode, set to air on March 18.

Meghan Markle's New Move Capitalizes on Her 'Hollywood Star Power'

By James Crawford-Smith

The Duchess of Sussex's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, positions her alongside a roster of fellow A-list celebrities who have successfully pivoted into luxury lifestyle influence, such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Martha Stewart, according to an entertainment expert.

The brand, which Meghan soft launched with an Instagram account and website holding page on March 14, not only evolves from her previous experience as a lifestyle blogger but also allows the duchess to "capitalize on her Hollywood star power,"Mark Boardman, entertainment expert and founder of MarkMeets, told Newsweek.

American Riviera Orchard was announced with minimal fanfare, gaining attention through word of mouth on social media before being picked up by the wider mainstream media. A short 16 second video clip of Meghan arranging flowers and posing in a ballgown accompanied the tagline "by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex" was the project's main launch material on its Instagram account.
