Among the people who came over to Wimbledon on Wednesday there were some royal family connections. The most conspicuous of them was Pippa Middleton, whose date for the tournament was her ex-beau Alex Loudon – and the way they were getting along there was little “ex” in it.

Another one who put in an appearance – although a much less conspicuous one – was Chelsy Davy, who is into the fifth year of her sporadic relationship with Prince Harry. She was enjoying her eyeful of tennis and a salmon lunch in the members’ enclosure unattended, the fact that may or may not have any relevance to the rumor that says she had been jilted by her eminent boyfriend.

The rumor has originated with the UK’s The Sun that published the news of Prince Harry’s alleged change of heart. The tabloid quoted an inside source who revealed that the 26-year-old prince fell for Florence Brudenell-Bruce, who is “fun, blonde and good-looking.”

Brudenell-Bruce, an offspring of war hero James Thomas Brudenell, seventh Earl of Cardigan, is well-off as well as an upcoming lingerie model. So far there is no comment from either the Palace or the would-be lawyer on Harry’s alleged shift of favors.

An observer told Us Weekly that at the tournament Chelsy, 25, was approached by an unsuspecting waitress who asked her if she had seen Pippa and her beau. Chelsy, unruffled, just smiled at her and pointed to the couple sitting at a table.

Lady Gaga has been accused of pocketing proceeds from the sales of 'We Pray for Japan' wristbands and the bizarre singer is now facing legal action.

Michigan Law firm 1-800-LAW-FIRM has slapped a $5 million lawsuit against Gaga, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I'm suing Lady Gaga simply to hold her accountable for giving the money that she was raising for charity to the cause that she was trying to raise it for," said Ari Kresch, an attorney for the firm.

Firm partner Alyson Oliver claimed that Gaga refused to fully disclose how much of the money from the sales of the wristbands goes to the Japanese victims.

"When we tried to communicate with the defendants in this lawsuit, all we got was, 'well, some of the money is being retained, but we don't really know how much'," Oliver told FOX news station.

"If the money was going to the right place rather than into the defendant's pocket, then I hope that our effort helps that," Oliver added.

Redhead for the Win! Miss California Alyssa Campanella won the 2011 Miss USA pageant in Las Vegas on Sunday night, edging out a bevy of 51 other beauties for a competition spot in the Miss Universe pageant in Brazil this fall.

The self-assessed “History Geek,” 21, took home the bejeweled crown at this year’s event, hosted by Bravo’s Andy Cohen and E! personality Giuliana Rancic,at Sin City’s Planet Hollywood Casino Resort. She was crowned by incumbent Miss USA, Rima Fakih, a Lebanese-born Muslim who was the first Arab-American to hold the title.

Campanella — who wowed the judges as she trumped across stage in a turquoise gown and polka dot bikini — won the competition despite giving a muddled answer during the Q&A portion of the competition, when a judge asked her whether marijuana should be legalized in her home state. Alyssa replied that marijuana for medical purposes was “very important.”

“I understand why that question would be asked, especially with today’s economy, but I also understand that medical marijuana is very important to help those who need it medically,” Campanella replied. “I’m not sure if it should be legalized, if it would really affect, with the drug war. I mean, it’s abused today, unfortunately, so that’s the only reason why I would kind of be a little bit against it, but medically it’s OK.”

Miss Tennessee came in second, Miss Alabama was third, and Miss Texas finished fourth.

Campanella will represent the United States at the Miss Universe pageant in Sao Paulo, scheduled for Sept. 12.

Lady Gaga becomes an omnipresent fixture as she – having previously snatched the top place on the Forbes magazine’s Most Powerful Celebrities list off Oprah Winfrey’s hands – similarly dealt with Beyoncé on the 2011 list of Best Paid Celebrities Under 30.

Her yearly $90 million placed her firmly atop of the wealthiest young stars, leaving far behind the second place winner, teenage hearts stealer Justin Bieber with his capture of $53 million. Though, it being the teen singer debut on the Yearly Spoils List, he shows promise to vie with the Born This Way singer next time around.

LeBron James, 26-year-old Miami Heat basketballer, made it to the third place with $48 million in his pocket in spite of the team’s recent comedown on the NBA finals.

Tennis comes close with Roger Federer’s $47 million, though at his 29 the tennis glory player won’t be coming back the next year.

Taylor Swift now has a long way to go at 21 and no-one can say she isn’t trying, with $45 million and the fifth spot to her credit. Katy Perry, 26, is breathing down her neck; the pop singer’s $44 million place her the sixth.

Another 26-year-old, Madrid’s soccer hero Cristiano Ronaldo, collected $38 million and the seventh position, while Barcelona soccer is glorified by the ninth placer, Lionel Messi, who chalked up $32 million at 23.

At the bottom of the top ten is $31 million tennis money raked up by Rafael Nadal, 25.

Beyoncé, 29, will be another goner next year, but she is still there, way down on the eighth spot showing a $35 million sum – a shade of her former $87 million wad.

And it’s not only money – the ranking has been made up using mass media information and social opinion (including web sources) in addition to the luminaries’ incomes.

Further down the list there are artists Rihanna, $29 million at 23, Lil Wayne, $15 million at 28, and the Twilight saga stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who climbed to the $20 million mark.

Pippa Middleton, sister of Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, has split from her banker boyfriend Alex Loudon and wants to enjoy her singlehood.

“It is common knowledge in their close circle of friends that Pippa and Alex have recently split up,” dailystar.co.uk quoted a close friend of Pippa as saying.

The 27-year-old was recently seen enjoying time together with her ex-boyfriend George Percy, 26, the heir to the Dukedom of Northumberland. However, her friend says that it was Prince Harry, 26, who really “interests” her after they hit it off at the royal wedding.

“Everyone’s noticed the chemistry between them. They really get on wonderfully together,” said a friend.

It was reported that last week Pippa and Harry met for a secret date at The Troubador pub in London’s Chelsea.

“Pippa and Harry sat together and had afternoon tea and cakes. They were alone, with no-one else near them,” said a fellow customer.

Look out, Lads, the Greatest Ass in the UK is officially back in the dating game. Royal In-Law Pippa Middleton, 27, who was famously dubbed “Her Royal Hotness” after her sister’s April wedding to Britain’s Prince William, has reportedly split from her cricketer-turned-broker boyfriend Alex Loudon.

“Pippa has become very high-profile and it’s put a strain on things. They’re moving in different circles. It is common knowledge in their close circle of friends that Pippa and Alex have recently split up,” a friend of the party planner tells The Sunday Times.

Sounds like its time to dust off those pickup lines. Keep an eye on your man, Girls.

Since the royal wedding, Pippa has become one of the most eligible women in Britain, with legions of male fans — including Prince Harry and Justin Timberlake — following her every move.

The Peas are feeling a bit undercooked this Friday morning, as embarrassing footage of Will.i.am forgetting his own lyrics on a French television talk show heats up the viral circuit just hours after a scheduled Black Eyed Peas Central Park benefit concert in Central Park was cancelled due to a succession of severe thunderstorms that towered down over a sweltering New York City late Thursday.

“We are sorry to announce that the ‘Concert 4 NYC’ has been cancelled due to inclement weather. Thanks for your support,” read an announcement uploaded to the organization’s website.

The concert, which was expected to draw up to 60,000 spectators to the park’s Great Lawn, was originally scheduled for 7:30 PM Thursday, but was delayed an hour and then cancelled all together, thanks to the raging weather. The Concert 4 NYC would have benefitted The Robin Hood Foundation, which partners anti-poverty initiatives across New York City. The show had been set to feature performances by Taylor Swift, Natasha Bedingfield, MC Hammer, Debbie Harry, LL Cool J, Carole King, Zach Braff, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jimmy Smits, all in an effort to combat poverty in the City That Never Sleeps.

Newlyweds William and Kate Middleton looked glamorous at a gala dinner in London marking the tenth anniversary of the child charity, Absolute Return for Kids (ARK), on June 9, their first public engagement as a Royal couple

Not only was the Duchess of Cambridge arrestingly beautiful in a blush pink Jenny Packham dress, but husband William wasn't half bad, wearing a traditional black-and-white tux.

Catherine, 29, seemed relaxed as she graced the entrance to the event, pushing a few strands of her famous mane out of the way and a million cameras could be heard clicking.

The dress, a formal-length affair, suited the style icon perfectly as did her makeup. Eyes were done in soft, smoky colors and her rouge and lips echoed the pastel color of her outfit. Her hair was styled down in romantic waves, going with the flow of the organza gown. Finishing off her outfit was a small pair of earrings, a clutch bag, and her sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring.

The venue for the kids' charitable organization was a specially-made stage in Perks Field, not far from the pair's new city base in Kensington Palace.

Arpad Busson, creator of ARK, expressed his enthusiasm to the media at having Prince William and his wife as the night's honored guests. The royal pair "bridge the generations...We need to get young philanthropists involved with us. They could not have been a better choice."

The palace issued a statement which declared that the princes' foundation and ARK "share a common vision and commitment to transform the lives of disadvantaged children in the UK and around the world."

William and Kate entered the banquet hall to another round of flashbulbs popping and applause from the guests. The two shared a table for twenty-five which included Jemima Khan, designer Tom Ford, Countess von Bismarck, Prince Pavlos, and Princess Marie-Chantal.

The 28-year-old prince gave his first formal presentation post-marriage and started a joint endeavor between the charity he shares with his brother, The Prince William and Prince Harry foundation and ARK, slated to last four years.

"Harry and I find ourselves in a position to be able to help. I really believe that individuals can make a serious difference- whether it's through wealth, through position, or some other advantage. Catherine and I hope to use our philanthropy as a long-term catalyst for meaningful change." After his speech concluded, the audience gave him a standing ovation in response.

The two departed close to ten-thirty p.m, and made everyone's night!

With Kate's look echoing the fairy tale quality of her wedding day, we can't even imagine what she's going to pick for Zara Phillips' (William's cousin) nuptials. Like her mother-in-law, the late Princess Diana, she certainly knows how to keep everyone guessing.

I’m a recovering narcissist. And maybe I still relapse occasionally. Okay, so I had a relapse yesterday. I was certain the reason my neighbor moved suddenly and without a word was because of me. Because of me and my music and he must have hated my guitar playing and my essential oil smells wafting through the walls and…

I couldn’t get this guilty narcissistic mind chatter to stop, so I went to the landlord to get the scoop. And you know what she said? She said it wasn’t me. It was him. He hadn’t cleaned his apartment in the whole year he’d lived there, so he packed everything up and asked for a new apartment in the same complex. I’m sorry, but what? You can do that? Just not clean for a year and then leave to avoid the mess? She said yes, people do that.

This made me think how we do this with our insides. (You know how I like to relate everything to the inner journey. It really IS the only journey isn’t it?) If we address our pain right away, it’s a lot easier to deal with things. Let it fester, and we’ve got a mess on our hands—maybe a resentment that leads to a weekend bender, a divorce, or a distance between hearts that grows vaster with time. Or worse, some kind of massive gap between our true north and the north we’re following in reality. And it’s really hard to turn things around when time has its hold on gaps like that.

I’m not always good at it, but it’s important to me, this emotional housecleaning thing. It takes willingness and courage to heed the signs right up front, to own my part, to drop my defenses, and observe my pain from all angles—essentially using my pain as a tool for growth instead of an excuse for suffering. And while it’s tempting (and awfully popular these days) to just proclaim instant love and light when the pain strikes, this can also turn into a form of avoidance. I’m not disagreeing that love and light is all there is, but just how do we get to this enlightenment?

By washing my emotional dishes after every meal instead of leaving them in the sink to grow mold, I’ve worked myself out of a life-long depression, troublesome binge drinking, compulsive eating, and other dark abysses where I hope none of you ever have to go. But you probably have. Which is why you’re reading this.

Which brings me to why I’m writing this. Because, I know you can do this. I know we can do this. By addressing fears, resentments, and jealousies up front, we transform our lives. By living in the now when our “now” is pain, emotional maladies become a sort of road map for us. They show us where to go, where not to go, what we value, what we don’t. If we are willing and have the courage, they lead us down to the core of our truest selves. It’s pure there. It’s clean. Simple, raw, and real. And we crave that. Don’t we?

And this is uncanny, but the maintenance guys are carrying my neighbor’s old toilet down the stairs as I’m writing this. (I’m not making this up). Are you for real, Mr. Ex-Neighbor? They had to remove your toilet? It was that bad?

Wow, it really does come down to this. Addressing pain=spiritual freedom. Avoiding=prolonged suffering. So what will it be

Ashley Greene looked demure and exuded sartorial sophistication in a short neon pink dress at the 10th Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) awards at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall on Monday, June 6 in New York City.

Ashley, 24, walked the red carpet with dress designer Michael Kors, winner of the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award at the award event in 2010.

The Twilight Star's dress had short sleeves and black paillette details. Her Micahel Kors accessories included strappy black leather heels, a leather box clutch, and Michael Kors jewels.

The fashion industry's equivalent of the Oscars, the CFDA's annual awards ceremony honors excellence in fashion design.

Designers are nominated for the awards by council members, select fashion publications, retailers, and stylists. Winners are picked by voting.

Kate Moss has reportedly moved her hen do closer to home so she can be near her daughter as she recovers from surgery. Little Lila Grace, eight, is said to have undergone a ‘minor operation’, although the full details are not known, and Kate has decided against whisking her friends abroad in favour of a party in her back garden, which of course boasts its own swimming pool. A source told the Daily Star, “Kate’s daughter Lila Grace is recovering from a minor operation so Kate wants to have the hen at her country home. She’s spending loads making everything accident-proof for any drunken revellers. “She’s planning a wild weekend of skinny-dipping and debauchery.” The 37-year-old supermodel is set to marry Kills rocker Jamie Hince on July 2, and is said to be keen to climax the pool festivities with a lavish bash at a top London hotel. “Kate is really hoping to follow up her pool bash with a stylish party at the Ritz,” said an insider. “She wants it to have a Cabaret Supper club theme, with top mixologists making cocktails, a seven-course meal and an old-style jazz band playing while the girls dine.”

After piquing the interest of the public at Prince William and Princess Catherine’s April nups, “Pippa Fever” is showing no signs of calming down. Now even TV Queens Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters, and the trousersnake himself, Justin Timberlake, are all vying for the attention of royal in-law Pippa Middleton.

“Justin was totally blown away by Pippa in that bridesmaid gown and has been trawling the internet looking for pictures of her ever since,” we hear. “He has a soft spot for British women and loves the accent, so he’s planning on going to The Box or Mahiki when he’s in London in the hope that she will be there.”

Should we sound The Stalker Alarm?

National Enquirer Gossip Guy Mike Walker tell us that both O and Babs are also fighting to get their manicured claws into Pippa first. In fact, Babs has been eager to get Ms. Middleton, who works as an event planner in her native Britain, on board at The View since 2007.

“Years ago, when Kate broke up with Prince William briefly, Barbara tried to hire her as a View co-host — but now she thinks Pippa’s so sassy, young, and gorgeous, she’d be a fantastic fit,” a Walters Camp insider divulged to Walker. “Ratings would be amazing!”

But Oprah, who has already gifted disgraced royal Sarah Ferguson with her own show on The Oprah Winfrey Network, is courting “Her Royal Hotness” with an offer that could be tough to refuse.

“She wants Pippa to host her own show for her OWN Network. O knows it would be a great ratings coup because Pippa’s a star on fire — and Americans are so obsessed with the royals.”

For now, the younger sister of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is staying in shape while she weighs her options. The royal bridesmaid, 27, participated in a team relay run in the GE Blenheim Triathlon in Oxfordshire, England, on Saturday. Pippa finished the 5K run with a time of 25:30.
