The nepo baby track is being rapidly derailed by advancing technology so A&L will likely not have this option as their parents, like other nepo-baby parents, cannot compete with AI.

If you are the Netflix/Amazon/HBO/Disney CEO looking to grow corporate profitability which would you pick?

Option A: a high maintenance nepo-baby who can spout off at any time thereby alienating potential audiences (e.g. latest Snow White movie) plus the added headache of equally high maintenance parents.

Option B: software completely under your control.

Seedance 2.0 has a viral video of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt fighting...except neither star was there and the set never existed. It was a two-line prompt into an AI generative software. Once the copyright and royalties are sorted out for legacy stars, it is likely that the next generation of entertainers are increasingly digital and real stars who age will become as obsolete as an 8-track cassette.

Yes tying themselves in knots. So funny. 🥨

Tights ok for her own daughter then.

🤣

Just been reading about the new release of Epstein files. In my defence I have just finished watching Black Doves on Netflix.

Anything seems possible now.

I thought it looked like Lilli had been to a ballet class. It looks like a ballet outfit.

Surely not, I thought they never used photoshop after Kate’s faux pas?!

Well, as pp said upthread, one of the helium balloons (are they helium balloons? - very poor form if so) doesn’t appear to have a string attached to it.

Lili’s arm ‘on’ Harry is all wrong. The light looks wrong in places.

But it’s probably all just some silly gameplaying to cause a mild stir and force comparisons with C.

That’s a left hand on a right arm. It’s why it looks wrong!

The Grenfell Community Kitchen charity, that Meghan was involved in has closed down.

That's a shame. It was an excellent cause. I suppose the community has now been resettled so not really the same need for it now?

Yes. I can’t really see how it’s Meghan’s fault that a charity set up to meet a specific need has closed down 10 years down the line!

Charities wind up all the time. It's what happens when they run their course. The charity register is cluttered up with small charities that are barely functioning, it's a good thing administratively for them to combine or wind up if possible.

And? What's your point in saying this? Another reason to have to snark about Meghan?

Agree.

I live nearby and it’s been emotional watching the tower being slowly dismantled floor by floor over the past few months. It’s about half way down now. I hope the survivors of that horror story have been able to move forward with their lives to some degree and I hope that initiative and the sparkle of MM or anyone - brought those families a glimmer of comfort or distraction for even a moment.

Very curt statement from Hubb Kitchen.

“A spokesman for the Hubb Kitchen told the Daily Mail: 'I can't talk about the Duchess of Sussex, but the Hubb community kitchen has stopped.'

We know H&M utilise watertight NDA’s to prevent anyone saying anything that is not nice about them, sounds like there is an NDA in place with the volunteers and charity workers

Or it could be that they don’t want to be drawn into the anti Sussex discourse. They’ve already had to shut down their Instagram page because of a pile on.

Honestly, if I worked for a charity and was trying to deal with it being closed down, and some Daily Mail wanker was pestering me for a quote about a celebrity (who'd probably had minimal involvement in it anyway), then I can see myself being pretty curt as well.

It isn't really anything to do with Meghan now is it? And quite understandable that this particular charity would have a fairly short life.

Very well said.

Yes - I don't think she's visited the project since 2022.

And the last time she did visit and the charity commented they had to close their Instagram because of a torrent of vile comments.

Which is awful. It was a good charity and the book she highlighted seems to have been a success.

About Meghan?

Two words .. African parks .
