These days, Prince Harry is a SoCal-based husband and father, who’s probably in bed by 10 every night after performing an elaborate skincare routine.

But in his single days, the “spare” prince took full advantage of the fact that he was not as heavily burdened by responsibility as his older brother, William.

In fact, there was a time, not all that long ago, when Harry was exchanging texts with a female journalist who playfully nicknamed him “Mr. Mischief.”

As you’re probably aware, Harry has been involved in a lot of privacy lawsuits against major media outlets in recent months.

And this week, a closing hearing in his trial against the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday publisher Associated Newspapers yielded some surprising info about the Prince’s past.

In messages from 2011 and 2012, Harry exchanged some very flirty messages with a journalist named Charlotte Griffiths.

“It’s H, in case u were confused by name and picture!!! X,” he wrote in one message dated Dec. 4, 2011. (per Page Six)

“What a fun weekend of naughtiness — can’t we all get up to no good in the countryside every weekend damn it?? Smooches,” Griffiths replied before referring to Harry as “Mr. Mischief.”

Harry added that it was “the best of those weekends I’ve been to” and then asked about his new nickname, writing:

“Mr mischief? How do I get that title … l was surely no worse than anyone else!!”

He then griped that he had to “make polite conversation with strange people at a dinner” while “begging them for money for charity.”

So yeah, even when Harry is partying with friends, he still has to perform certain royal duties. No wonder he was so happy to leave the UK!

In other texts, Griffith referred to Harry as “H bomb” (her talent for coming up with nicknames is top-tier) and wrote that “we missed you so much at Arthur’s last week.”

Now, obviously, all of this took place well before Harry met and married Meghan.

So there’s nothing terribly salacious about this story. But the Harry-hating sectors of the British tabloid press (which have grown in size, possibly in response to his lawsuits) are already acting like this is some sort of major scandal

And it’s more than a little ironic that Harry’s past is being exposed due to a lawsuit that he filed in order to protect his privacy — another reminder of why so many public figures just tolerate slander.

While closing arguments were delivered on Tuesday, no verdict has been rendered in Harry’s lawsuit against the Mail.

And neither he nor Charlotte has spoken publicly about their text exchanges.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

It’s been almost ten months since Food Network star Anne Burrell passed away at the age of 55.

While Burrell’s death has been ruled a suicide, there’s still a good deal of mystery surrounding the circumstances of her final hours.

Now, new photos taken by first responders have been released, and they paint a chilling portrait of a life that ended in despair.

Photos obtained by Page Six show pills and several empty medicine bottles scattered through Burrell’s home, a discovery that is now at the center of law enforcement’s ongoing investigation into her death.

While medical examiners believe Burrell committed suicide, police have yet to publicly announce what, if any, role the pills might have played in Burrell’s death.

Her cause of death is officially listed as “acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine.”

Representatives for the chef’s family have declined to comment on the newly released photos or what they may mean.

Burrell had spent decades building a high-profile career as a chef, television personality, and mentor to up-and-coming culinary talent.

Her sense of humor and culinary expertise made her a familiar face to fans of cooking shows across networks.

In the wake of her death, tributes have poured in from colleagues, friends, and fans, many of them offering warm memories of her generous spirit and passion for food.

With these new photos now circulating publicly, the focus has turned even more sharply to uncovering the full circumstances surrounding her passing.

At this stage, investigators have not provided explanations about the pills or medicine bottles photographed inside the home.

After launching the Food Network’s Worst Cooks In America in 2010, Burrell was not asked back to host the show’s 27th season in 2023.

She made a brief return for the show’s 29th season, just months before her death.

As authorities continue their work, what’s clear is that this is a deeply sad and complicated situation, one that has left loved ones and fans seeking answers in the midst of profound grief.

While photos taken at the scene of Burrell’s death have shed new light on the circumstances of her final hours, they still don’t tell the whole story.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

A grisly crime has left even seasoned investigators at a loss for words.

Authorities have arrested a woman after the brutal stabbing death of her 10-month-old.

So much of this case is bewildering to investigators.

She’s facing first-degree murder charges. And, if convicted, she may face the death penalty.

Barnardsville has a population of just a little over 500

Last week, a horror story unfolded in an extremely small community in Western North Carolina.

Buncombe County is one of the more populous and oft-visited of NC’s 100 counties.

Each year, even after the devastation of Hurricane Helene, thousands of people flock to Asheville and surrounding towns for tourist attractions, restaurants, and more.

About 20 miles away, in a remote region of the same county, is Barnardsville, a small community east of Flat Creek, which has a population of hundreds.

On Thursday, March 26, just after 2 PM, the sheriff’s office responded to a call — reporting an unthinkable stabbing on Rocala Drive. County EMS and the local fire department also responded.

On the scene, first responders found 10-month-old Enoch Chappell suffering from fatal stab wounds.

EMS rushed the infant to Mission Hospital.

Unfortunately, doctors were unable to save his life. He was pronounced dead.

The baby’s mother, 34-year-old Ciara Frederick, was arrested.

She is charged with first-degree murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

If convicted, she could face the death penalty

The murder charge and one of the counts of assault with a deadly weapon stem from the brutal stabbing death of her baby.

The second charge of assault with a deadly weapon, WLOS reports, stem from allegedly assaulting a man with a fixed blade.

Frederick allegedly chased him down the driveway of the property on Rocala Drive.

Without knowing the context, one can only infer that the assaults are related in some way. We do not know the precise order of events.

She is now in custody at the Buncombe County Detention Facility and, in light of the level of violence and her potential sentence (the judge warned her that she may face the death penalty), she is being held without bond.

Obviously, there are numerous aspects of this crime that remain unknown.

Stabbings are as old as knives. Infanticides predate humanity itself.

But it is rare for infanticides to be the result of a stabbing. Perhaps 5% of of homicides against newborns and babies involve any kind of sharp implement.

We do not know who the man whom Frederick allegedly assaulted is, or what the course of events was on that fateful Thursday.

Speculation about her mental health — a notorious factor in infanticides — and possible motives would simply be irresponsible until we know more.

‘Our hearts are broken’

“Our hearts and thoughts are with everyone impacted by this tragedy,” Buncombe County Sheriff Quentin Miller announced.

“Members of the Barnardsville Fire Department and Buncombe County EMS did everything they could to save this child’s life,” he praised.

“And for that,” he affirmed, “we are grateful.”

Sheriff Miller expressed: “Our hearts are broken.”

This is only the second homicide that the Buncombe County sheriff’s office has investigated in 2026.

Well, this is complicated.

Following Jen Shah’s release from prison late last year, she’s been avoiding the spotlight.

Now, she’s opening up about everything.

Most importantly, she’s taking almost full responsibility for the crimes that put her away for three years.

‘I made wrong decisions’

The disgraced former The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star spoke to People following her release from prison.

She covered a lot of topics — including prison conditions and her own wrongdoings.

“I was wrong,” Shah admitted. “I made wrong decisions.”

She continued: “I should have done things differently. I should have been more diligent.”

Shah affirmed: “And I’m deeply remorseful and sorry for my actions and for my part. I take full responsibility.” 

For a long time following her arrest, Shah insisted that she was innocent — before abruptly changing her plea.

“It’s a long and a very complex journey that brought me to this point,” she now explained.

“And without re-litigating it,” Shah admitted, “I became involved in the case because I made horrible business decisions and I disregarded huge red flags.”

Shah claimed: “I allowed the lines to be blurred between personal friendships and ethical business practices. And in essence, I trusted the wrong people at a very vulnerable time in my life.”

She also alleged: “I thought I was doing the right thing for the majority of the time. I was working under people who were running these companies.”

She says that she believed that the companies were legitimate

“What happened was down the line, people that I worked with were working with a lot of other people,” Shah described.

“Once that initial fulfillment was happening,” she claimed, “things were happening beyond the point of sale with that customer that I didn’t know about.”

Shah warned: “It can happen if you’re not careful, if you’re not being diligent and you’re not paying attention to the red flags.”

She then emphasized: “But you have a responsibility once you’re in that position to make sure it doesn’t.”

Even will all of this insistence that she didn’t know what she’d done, Shah admitted that events before her arrest had “clouded my judgment.”

“What’s important for me to say — and I need to let people know — was at the same time, my involvement in this conspiracy overlapped with my own personal pain,” Shah shared.

“My husband [Sharrieff “Coach” Shah] and I were separated,” she noted. “We were on the verge of a divorce.”

Shah continued: “I was overwhelmed with immense grief from the death of my grandmother, my father and my aunt, all in a very short period of time. I was spiraling deeper into my previously diagnosed clinical depression.

She at least emphasized: “I say all that is not as an excuse. Because it’s not like I was making good business decisions and then I woke up one morning and all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Oh, I made a bad business decision.’”

Shah added: “This is the totality of everything that was going on and the overlapping of what I was dealing with personally. And I tried to avoid and numb all of that with alcohol and just avoid it.”

‘There were people who were hurt’

” I trusted the wrong people at a very vulnerable time in my life,” Shah then characterized.

According to her, in July 2022, prosecution turned over discovery to her legal team — which is when she understood how many victims she had, allegedly unknowingly, accumulated.

“It was like a train hit,” Shah described. “That was the first time I saw all of it — the communications, the interviews, the witnesses.”

“I saw for the first time that there were people who were hurt,” Shah described. “That there were actual victims as a result of this conspiracy. I had never seen anything with my own eyes. That changed things for me.”

Well, believe her or not, we’ve likely not heard the last of Shah. Many expect her to return to Bravo in some capacity. Among other things, she has about $6 million in restitution to pay.

On Tuesday, Joseph Duggar was released from jail after being extradited to Florida to face child molestation charges.

His wife, Kendra Duggar, was also arrested last month, but she was allowed to make bail.

Now, we’re learning more about the couple’s mental state via transcripts from a phone call Joseph made to Kendra while he was still behind bars in Arkansas.

Shockingly, Joseph was released on bond following his arraignment in Florida.

But he called Kendra while he was still locked up, shortly after she arrived home following her own arraignment. The two of them discussed the ways in which they’ve been impacted by the stress of their situation.

“I haven’t been able to eat,” Kendra told Joe (via The Ashley’s Reality Roundup).

She added that she’s been getting the bulk of her nutrition through fluids and IVs.

“I can hardly walk. I get winded because I’m so weak,” she said, adding:

“I actually did get to sneak over and get an IV before stuff happened and that probably sustained me good.”

Joe told Kendra that his stomach “isn’t always settled,” but he explained that he had been trying to avoid processed foods and carbs.

“I’m trying not to eat junk,” he tells Kendra before joking that he hopes to “trim up some” while behind bars.

Kendra said that she was also losing weight, what with the stress of her husband facing 25 years on child molestation charges.

“I haven’t gotten on the scale, but I feel a lot trimmer now!” she joked to Joseph. “I’m definitely not bloated either! I’m gonna be a Skinny Minnie!”

Kendra added that Michelle Duggar — whom both she and Joe refer to as “Mama” — had been imploring her to eat solid food.

“She’s like, ‘You need to eat!’ and I’m like, ‘I will try!’ but unless it’s liquid it doesn’t really go down,” Kendra said. “It’s been a battle. They said I’ve got to be well to take care of all these decisions and everything.”

Interestingly, Kendra made no mention of her own family, but noted that the Duggars had been a “crazy great support network” for her.

“I’m really well taken care of. Sometimes I just start crying ’cause I know God’s been so good. I’ve been writing things down that I’m thankful for,” she explained.

In a separate call, Kendra informed Joe that the Duggars are still supporting him, even if they’re “disappointed.”

“Just know that everybody loves you. Even if they’re disappointed,” she said (via TMZ). 

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

It’s no secret that Jenny McCarthy espouses a lot of unhinged, dangerous beliefs with no basis in science.

So when oddball “cloning” rumors about Jim Carrey circulated earlier this year, some dreaded her commentary.

The two of them were a serious item for half a decade.

Does she believe that her ex has been replaced by some sort of weird Hollywood clone?

He was ‘unrecognizable’ at a French award show

Earlier this year, Jim Carrey delivered a speech in French at the César Awards.

He had practiced for months ahead of time.

However, something about his appearance threw off fans in a borderline Capgras syndrome manner.

Some accused him of being (or, rather, of sending) an imposter to the awards show.

Others brought up one of the looniest Hollywood conspiracy theories: human cloning.

People caught up with Jenny McCarthy at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026.

There, they delicately asked her about the conspiracy theories that claim that someone had “replaced” Jim Carrey with a “clone.”

McCarthy quickly quashed that claim.

She assured that she has no doubt whatsoever that “it was definitely Jim Carrey” attending the award show.

Instead of dwelling upon his alleged “unrecognizable” appearance, she focused upon what mattered: how happy he looked.

Not a clone, definitely very happy

“He looked very happy at that award show,” McCarthy praised.

“And,” she expressed, “I was happy for him.”

His joy, and not minute changes to his appearance, were what caught her attention.

“That’s the first thing I noticed,” McCarthy emphasized.

She recalled: “I said, ‘Oh wow, Jim looks really happy.’”

Donnie Wahlberg, McCarthy’s husband, echoed his wife’s response.

“You know, that’s the part that, sadly, people miss,” he lamented.

“We’re so obsessed with how he looks,” Wahlberg commented, “that we didn’t consider how happy he looked.”

It is not often that we get a chance to say this, but we’re glad that this is an opportunity for it:

Thank you for saying something so sensible, Donnie Wahlberg.

It’s good of her to back up her ex

Conspiracy theories are harmful.

It’s not just about this. But, despite some unhinged beliefs, human cloning is not yet real or viable.

Perpetuating the idea that this technology — which could be life-saving if real, allowing the production of an infinite supply of replacement organs and blood — makes people lose touch with reality.

And frankly, suggesting that a man’s face looks “so different” that he must be a clone or some other imposter is just mean.

There are rare cases of body doubles and disguised celebrities. They’re very unusual, and they don’t speak at award shows.

After spending more than a week behind bars in his native Arkansas, Joseph Duggar was extradited to Florida on Tuesday.

At his arraignment that same day, Joseph pleaded not guilty to child molestation charges.

In a move that shocked many observers, he was then permitted to post bond and exit police custody.

Joseph appeared in court wearing a striped prison uniform.

He was represented by Albert Sauline III, a criminal defense attorney out of Panama City Beach, Florida (via The Ashley’s Reality Roundup).

Sauline asked the judge for “the most reasonable bond” for Joseph, noting that the former reality star has “no prior criminal history, whatsoever, not even a speeding ticket.”

He also shared a message from Joseph, telling the court that the father of four requests to be “treated as anyone else would, regardless of his status in the television industry.”

The prosecution acknowledged Joe’s lack of a criminal history but noted that no ties to the community,” it would be easy for him to “leave quickly

Eventually, the state prosecutor agreed to let Joseph post a “substantial monetary bond.”

The judge set bond at $600,000: $100,000 for the Lewd and Lascivious Conduct charge and $500,000 for the Lewd and Lascivious Molestation charge.

Joe was also barred from having any contact with the alleged victim, directly, through any third parties, or through social media.

— TMZ (@TMZ) March 31, 2026

He is also not permitted to have unsupervised contact with any minors under the age of 18.

While that provision makes perfect sense, it’s somewhat surprising in that Joseph is a father of four young children.

According to The Ashley, he and Jim Bob were spotted at the Panama City airport just a few hours after his arraignment.

It seems he was permitted to return to Arkansas, provided he’s back in Florida for his next court appearance on April 20.

We would assume that Joseph would be living with his parents, but his youngest sister, Josie Duggar, is only 16, so that’s not an option.

Of course, the Duggars are massively wealthy, so in addition to posting Joseph’s “substantial” bail, Jim Bob is probably hooking him up with the keys to one of the family’s many properties.

Joseph stands accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl during a vacation to Florida in 2020.

He and wife Kendra Duggar are also facing child endangerment charges after a police search of their home revealed that their kids’ bedroom doors had locks on the outside, suggesting they were in the habit of locking their children in.

Kendra was allowed to make bail after just a few hours in police custody. She’s facing nine years in prison, while Joseph could be sentenced to as many as 34 years behind bars.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

She didn’t have sex until she was in her 30s … after she was a household name.

From time to time, Lizzo has confessed things that fans simply didn’t want to know.

This admission, however, might help people overcome shame.

Lizzo explains that there were multiple factors behind her “late bloomer” status — including a promise that she made, early in her career.

Virginity is a social construct, and it’s been with Lizzo for most of her life

On the Tuesday, March 31 episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Lizzo had a confession to make.

Speaking to hosts Benny Blanco, Lil Dicky, and Kristin Batalucco, the 37-year-old singer admitted that she first had sex in her 30s — waiting until after she won her first Grammy Award.

“I was a late bloomer,” Lizzo admitted. “I lied about it for a long time.”

The hosts tried to guess when the music superstar first swiped her V-card.

Lizzo ended the speculation, sharing that it happened in 2020 — by which point she was already immensely famous.

“Isn’t that crazy?” Lizzo remarked in reference to herself.

“I wasn’t even thinking about it,” she then admitted.

Lizzo revealed: “I promised myself when I was younger that I wouldn’t have sex until I won a Grammy.”

The room erupted in laughter, Lil Dicky asked if Lizzo would have caved if she’d never won the prestigious award.

Lizzo clarified that she didn’t have someone waiting in the wings in case she won that night, clarifying: “It was not the night of the Grammys.” But it was soon after.

And yes, she had to bluff her way through it along the way

Lizzo admitted to having cringe memories of being evasive and outright lying in college, when she attended the University of Houston.

“I feel a weight off of my chest right now,” she expressed. “It was so embarrassing.”

Lizzo recalled: “I was in a friend group of girls. We were all girling one night and it was like, ‘Wait, Lizzo are you a virgin?’”

Naturally, she did the only reasonable thing that she could have done under the circumstances: she lied.

“And I remember being like, ‘No!’” she shared. “I was remember it was so embarrassing. I said, ‘I love the D’ … And it held me over for a little while.”

As Lizzo continued to explain, it became clear that there were elements of religious indoctrination — and perhaps trauma — behind her “late bloomer” status.

“Ya’ll have no idea. It was religious for me, too,” she admitted. “Like, when we were teenagers at my church, we all made a pact that we wouldn’t do anything before marriage.”

Lizzo added: “And then, I was just so scared. Like, nobody wanted to kiss me.”

At 21, she got her first kiss, but it was awful — and happened against her will.

“I was actually very upset about it,” Lizzo shared. “It was a New Year’s Eve thing and he forced it on me. I was really mad and I was like, ‘My first kiss is ruined.’ I was so mad.”

It’s sad that society pushed so many toxic ideas on her (and on so many others)

The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony took place on January 26, 2020.

As people may recall, Lizzo didn’t win just one Grammy. She won three.

For “Truth Hurts,” she won Best Pop Solo Performance. For the deluxe version of “Cuz I Love You,” she won Best Urban Contemporary Album. And for “Jerome,” she won Best Traditional R&B Performance.

Virginity is a social construct, one with varying definitions. There is no moral value to having more or less sex — only to living in an authentic way that makes you happy.

It is tragic that we live in a society where people like Lizzo felt as adolescents that their healthy desires were shameful, and that she also feared that she was undesirable. But perhaps her story can help others feel less ashamed.
