The Royals Now Cant Deny This Persistent Rumor Is a Lie, Says Source – Best Life

It's no secret that Duchess Meghan has proven to be a polarizing figure in Britain. Last month, a U.K. poll conducted by YouGov found that her popularity (as well as Prince Harry's) dropped to its lowest level in the aftermath of Prince Philip's funeral. The survey found that only 29 percent of Britons have a positive view of her while Harry, who was once second in popularity only to Queen Elizabeth, has seen his favorability ranking plummet to 49 percent. That's a far cry from their earliest days a couple. When it was announced that Harry and Meghan had gotten engaged in Nov. 2017, they received glowing coverage in the British media. The Financial Times called Meghan, who's biracial, American, and has been marr...

CA to consider sweeping changes to mask, social distancing rules in the workplace – KABC-TV

California is considering sweeping changes to COVID-19 safety rules that would allow employers to relax mask and physical distancing requirements in the workplace as long as everyone is vaccinated. The state's Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board is set to meet Thursday to discuss the possibility of dropping the requirement for workers to wear masks if everyone in the room is fully vaccinated and does not have COVID-19 symptoms. The board will also weigh further steps to no longer require physical distancing at locations where all employees are fully vaccinated. In order for either of these changes to happen, workplaces would need to obtain their employees' vaccine records. If the board approves this proposal, it will be submitted to California's Office of Administrative Law, ...

‘I’m here. Good morning’: Matt Siegel, host of ‘Matty in the Morning’, returns to the airwaves Thursday – The Boston Globe

“I was on a roll, and I haven’t been on a roll in a long time,” Siegel said, explaining that during the show he felt “like the old Matty on the air. And that’s when I got the call [from corporate management] and I just snapped. I just said, ‘I can’t be here anymore.’” At issue were comments Siegel made while discussing Lovato’s announcement that the singer would be changing their pronouns. Siegel was making jokes at Lovato’s expense, and said his boss at iHeartMedia, which owns Kiss 108 FM, called him and told him to “stop talking about what I’ve been talking about.” Siegel’s comments drew criticism from a prominent transgender rights group and online observers as insensitive and harmful. Siegel said that after Wednesday’s show, he talked to his wife “at length” who said “you’re not endi...

Prince Harry set to drop more truth bombs in his Apple TV mental health series with Oprah Winfrey – Daily Mail

Prince Harry is expected to reveal more details about life inside the British Royal Family in his new mental health series with Oprah Winfrey.   Along with Winfrey, the Duke of Sussex is an executive producer of 'The Me You Can't See', which premieres on Apple TV+ on Friday, and features interviews with Prince Harry, Oprah and others discussing their struggles with mental health. One insider told Page Six : 'One of the episodes is very personal … deeply,' and that Harry is expected to drop more 'Truth Bombs' in the show. The show's release comes amid a backlash last week in the US after Harry's attack on the 'bonkers' First Amendment and after his broadside at the Royal Family in which he appeared to suggest both his father and the Queen had failed as parents.  Royal Family expert Katie N...

A$AP Rocky says he and Rihanna are dating, calls her the love of my life – CNN

A$AP Rocky -- whose real name is Rakim Mayers -- told GQ magazine that Rihanna is "the love of my life." The pair haven't given away many details of their relationship, but rumors first surfaced that they were a couple in 2013. To this day the pair try not to be caught on camera together, according to GQ, and the article recounts a paparazzi-dodging tactic that involves arriving separately to events. The rapper said he is happy being in a monogamous relationship. "She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones," he said. "I think when you know, you know. She's the One." And it appears the happy couple are open to having children. "I think I'd be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Very," said A$AP Rocky. The rapper has a new a...
