Lady Gaga Fears Princess Diana Death
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music
Lady Gaga worries she may die as a "martyr for fame" like Princess Diana. The "Born This Way" singer is writing a track about the late British royal - who died aged 36 in a car accident in Paris in 1997 - and fears she may end up losing her life in a similar fashion.
"Gaga has always been absolutely fixated on Diana and sees herself as a 21st-century incarnation of her. She knows she is almost as recognizable as Diana and is hounded by photographers and fans on the same level. Gaga has had dreams about dying the same way as her and has genuine fears that her fame could literally kill her, either in a chase or at the hands of crazies," a source said.
Gaga's earlier single, "Paparazzi," was also about the perils of celebrity and was also written with the tragic figure of Diana in mind. The pop superstar has said, "Diana was the most iconic martyr of fame. She died because of it."
In 2009, Gaga performed 'Paparazzi' at the MTV Video Music Awards, with her appearance culminating in her staging a fake death, with her covered in fake blood and hanging from the ceiling.

Royal Wedding: A Fairy-Tale Ending
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Engagements, Weddings, Photos, Rumors
Many details of the royal wedding are being kept under wraps, but we do know exactly how it will end: just like a fairy tale. The newly-wedded Prince William and his bride, Kate Middleton, will be whisked away from the ceremony in the State Landau, a 109-year-old carriage that would do Cinderella proud.
The royal couple will be taken from their nuptials at Westminster Abbey to the royal residence, Buckingham Palace. The vehicle was originally constructed for King Edward VII. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, William’s grandmother, usually only uses it while entertaining heads of state. The Landau will lead a five-carriage procession which will carry the entire wedding party, which includes Kate’s sister Pippa and William’s brother Prince Harry. The siblings will serve as the Maid of Honor and Best Man, respectively.
But, Princess Diana’s glass coach is on standby. The vehicle which carried the Princess to her 1981 nuptials will be pulled out of storage if it rains on the day of the wedding.

Royal Engagement Ring: From Harry to Kate, through Prince William
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Engagements, Child Stars, Rumors
Princess Diana’s famous engagement ring has been given to Prince William’s longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton … and this is strangely odd because the ring never belonged to William at all.
After Diana’s 1997 death, her sons Princes William and Harry were taken to Kensington -- the palace where Di resided -- by their father Prince Charles. Harry chose to take Di’s sapphire engagement ring as a memento of his mother; William took the Cartier watch she used to teach him how to tell time. Now, the ring graces the finger of Prince William’s fiancee (and the soon-to-be Princess of Wales).

England’s Princes Gain Some Royal Clout
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Child Stars
Queen Elizabeth of England has given her two famous grandsons something two young men can really appreciate: their own royal households.
For those of you without noble blood, the term “household” doesn’t necessarily refer to a place of residence but to a full-time staff. Between the two of them, the royal boys will share three main staff members who have their own small team of supporters. The job? To look after the princes’ military, public and charitable activities. St. James’s Palace will hold the household.
But the gifts don’t end there. To commemorate this newfound bit of prestige, each prince now has his own personal cypher. Think of it as a royal brand, a symbol to express their standing. Prince William’s cypher is the letter W in red, the same color as the cyphers belonging to his father and grandmother, with a coronet on top. Prince Harry’s cypher is blue, the same color as the one which once belonged to Princess Diana, featuring the letter H.
They’ve got logos, crowns and now their own personal staffers. It looks like the boy princes have finally become royal men.
