Prince William and Prince Harry have both condemned the BBC after the network admitted it engaged in “deceitful behavior” to secure that now infamous 1995 TV interview with Princess Diana.
William said, “The deceitful way the interview was obtained substantially influenced what my mother said,” and he even blamed it for ending his parents’ marriage. William added, “BBC’s failures contributed significantly to her fear, paranoia and isolation that I remember from those final years with her.”
Prince Harry blasted the BBC as well as all British media, saying, “The ripple effect of a culture of exploitation and unethical practices ultimately took her life.”
An official BBC inquiry recently found that journalist Martin Bashir used “deceitful methods,” including false documents and trickery, to gain access to the Princess for his  interview. During the controversial sit-down, Diana famously said that “there were three of us in this marriage,” referring to Prince Charles’ relationship with Camilla Parker-Bowles.

Jennifer Lopez returned this week to Los Angeles after a business trip to Miami.
All the sources agree that it’s only a matter of time before Ben Affleck and J-Lo become “Instagram Official.” They’ve discussed when to make public this rebound romance. One of their friends suggested (quote) “They’ve fallen for each other again in a very intense way. Likely a month or two, they’ll step out hand-in-hand at a restaurant.”
Another source said Bennifer doesn’t want to jinx what they have by labeling it (quote) “They’re going with the flow and making plans to meet up as often as possible. They really like this low-key, romantic and sexy vibe they’ve got going on.” (Us Weekly)

Leah Remini shed tears of joy on Thursday. She received an acceptance letter from NYU. At age 51, Leah Remini will join the incoming class of 2025.
Remini, who was raised in a Scientology family, never received a formal education beyond the 8th grade. She explained on Instagram (quote) “For someone like me — a person who desperately wanted a higher education and options in my life — coming from a cult and a family who didn’t value an education — this is a very big day for me.”
Eight years ago, Remini bolted from Scientology and has ever since tried to expose it as a cult. (E! News)
