Stephen Colbert made a two-minute statement near the start of Monday’s The Late Show about his recent jokes about Kate Middleton.
The late night host had previously mocked Princess of Wales’ absence from public life, as well as made jokes about rumors Prince William had an affair. Last week, Middleton revealed she was battling cancer. Given that it was public knowledge that Middleton had gone quiet following abdominal surgery in January, some had criticized Colbert for his jokes, arguing it was hardly difficult to put together that she was having some kind of health crisis.
Colbert expressed remorse about the jokes and wished Middleton well, though he stopped shy of outright apologizing.
“We do a lot of shows, and I tell a lot of jokes, and I tell jokes about a lot of different things — mostly what everybody’s talking about,” Colbert said last night. “And for the last six weeks to two months,...

British royal family news shows that today Princess Kate, the Princess of Wales announced she has been diagnosed with cancer and is receiving treatment.
The news comes after a planned abdominal operation in January which had her sidelined from royal duties as she heals.
While the best in the world sent well wishes to Kate, several public figures found it in themselves to mock a sick woman mercilessly. Who does this?
Here’s who: Kim Kardashian, Blake Lively, Andy Cohen, Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver all found it funny to be cruel to a sick woman. How crass. None of these shameless people have issued an apology at the time of publication. Kim’s excuse may be that she’s taking the trash out, per Taylor Swift.

Xoxo, Upper East Siders. Chuck Bass is getting married and Lily Van Der Woodsen is invited.
“I miss that character, but I am still in touch with almost everyone from the show. I am going to Ed’s [Westwick] wedding and I am so excited,” admitted “Gossip Girl” star Kelly Rutherford at French TV festival Series Mania.
In the “still relevant” show, she played the impossibly glamorous mother of Blake Lively’s Serena.
“It was before this whole super politically correct time. We were on the verge of it and there is just a different energy about it. After the first season, we knew [it was huge].”
“Gossip Girl” ended in 2012.
“The women I grew up with were very chic, but I hadn’t really seen a mother like that on TV. I didn’t realize how much people loved Lily – until now. At first, it was all about these kids. We were just parents.

"betty," a song from Taylor Swift's folklore album that the singer performs in Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, features Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's daughters' names — James, Inez, and Betty. Although "betty" name-drops the couple's children, the song is based on a fictional story. Reynolds commented that it was an "honor" for Swift to use his and Lively's daughters' names in "betty."
Taylor Swift's hit concert film Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour features the singer-songwriter performing one of her songs, "betty," and its lyrics are surprisingly connected to Ryan Reynolds. The 2023 movie, directed by Sam Wrench and produced by Swift, chronicles the popstar's highly successful 2023–2024 concert tour. During its theatrical run, it earned over $260 million at the box office, making it the highest-grossing concert film of all time.

She then revealed something she did that actually made it into the movie!

Chuck and Blair's relationship in Gossip Girl was filled with drama and toxic moments, but also undeniable chemistry and love. The most important relationship milestones and turning points for Chuck and Blair occurred throughout the series, showcasing their growth and feelings for each other. Some of the best episodes focused on Chuck and Blair's relationship, highlighting their intense emotions, conflicts, and their strong bond even when they were apart.
Everything about Gossip Girl was dramatic – in particular the relationship between central characters Chuck and Blair - and the best Chuck and Blair episodes showcase that drama very well. Spanning the show's entire six-season run, their romance was rocky (and admittedly pretty toxic) but addictive for fans to watch unfold through all its highs and lows. Part of the fun of Gossip Girl was seeing these two characters bring out both the best and the worst in one another as they grew up.

Hector Hammond's grotesque transformation in "Green Lantern" lacked depth, making him one of the worst DC movie villains. Steppenwolf in "Justice League" was a generic, bland, CGI villain with no defining moments, disappointing fans. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze in "Batman & Robin" was all puns, no substance, making him unimposing and cheesy.
The movies adapted from the characters of the DC Universe have a long and storied history, and in that time have featured some truly terrible villains. The pages of DC Comics have introduced some of the most iconic heroes of all time, with the foremost among them being adapted to the screen since the early days of cinema. From these early forays into live-action media up to the movies of the Dceu, one thing that every movie hero needs is a villain to fight against. Every superhero movie has an antagonist, although some are far better than others.
