Kate Middleton's dress at Zara Phillips' wedding

The bride wore white and Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, wore bone. Or ivory. Or ecru. Whatever it was, it was stunning and managed to flatter her trim figure without outshining Zara Phillips, the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth who married longtime boyfriend Mike Tindall Saturday (July 30) in Edinburgh, Scotland.

We've seen Kate in this coat before. According to whatkatewore.com, the duchess donned the same brocade coat at the 2006 wedding of Laura Parker Bowles and Harry Lopes and last year at the wedding of Mel Nicholson and Oli Baker, whoever they are.

Kate's dress, too, was a well-picked retread. She wore it to that same Parker Bowles wedding and to a 2007 book signing.

The hat, we're given to understand, is new. And quite fetching.

Finally Shannon Tweed got Gene Simmons' proposal

Legendary lothario Gene Simmons finally popped the question to longtime partner Shannon Tweed on the season finale of Gene Simmons: Family Jewels last night. “I come with so much baggage, but you’re the only friend I’ve got, ” Simmons told Tweed on a bayside dock in Belize. “You’re the only one I’ve ever loved … I used to watch movies where they say, ‘I can’t live without you,’ but for me it’s true.” Watch below.
Of course, the actual proposal reportedly took place months ago, and the couple, who have two children from a relationship that has lasted 28 years, have since looked less than loving in several interviews to promote the show. So don’t order off their wedding registry just yet.

Simmons tweeted this morning, “Shannon and I work on our relationship every day. One day at a time. Thanks for watching. When we figure out our lives, you will know.” Tweed tweeted, “We are taking it day by day. Stay tuned.”

Norway Terrorist Attacks Toll Upped to 87: Norwegian Man Arrested

Norwegian authorities early Saturday dramatically increased the death toll in a gun attack at a youth camp on the Norwegian island of Utoya to at least 80, bringing the total number dead in a pair of apparently related attacks Friday to 87.

Police have arrested a Norwegian man for the deadly attack at the summer youth camp run by Norway's ruling party, and they believed the same man was responsible for a bombing at a government building in central Oslo several hours earlier that claimed at least seven lives.

TV2, Norway's largest broadcaster, was among media outlets that identified the suspect as Anders Behring Breivik, 32, describing him as a member of "right-wing extremist groups in eastern Norway." Despite the reports, Norwegian police would not confirm the identity of the suspect.

The 80 dead at the youth camp was a dramatic increase over a Friday police report that at least 10 had died there. Police director Oystein Maeland told reporters early Saturday in Norway that many more victims were discovered after the first toll was announced, according to The Associated Press.

"It's taken time to search the area. What we know now is that we can say that there are at least 80 killed at Utoya," Maeland said. "It goes without saying that this gives dimensions to this incident that are exceptional."

Witnesses to the camp attack said the suspect, dressed as a policeman and identifying himself as such, appeared to be doing a security check related to the Oslo bombing. They said he used the ruse to lure camp goers closer before carrying out the attack.

Video showed bodies floating in the water around the island, and witnesses said victims took to the water in an attempt to flee the carnage, but were shot anyway.

One witness told the Associated Press that campers played dead, but the gunman shot bodies in the head with a shotgun to ensure they were dead.

More than 500 people were attending the camp, and most campers were teenagers. Police indicated the death toll could continue to rise.

Oslo police spokesman Anders Frydenberg was asked by the BBC how one man was able to kill so many.

"We are having an investigation," he said. "We are hopeful the investigation will show how this is possible."

With the arrest of a lone Norwegian in the twin bomb and shooting attacks, officials have all but ruled out any connection to international terrorism.

"We have one person in custody and he will be charged in connection with what has happened," said Justice Minister Knut Storberget during a Friday evening press conference. "We know that he is Norwegian. That is what we know. I don't think it's right from my position to go into details about him."

At the same press conference, Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg told reporters that it was "too early to say anything certain about the motive." Justice Minister Storberget said he was not aware of any threats before the two attacks.

The man in custody allegedly opened fire at the summer youth camp run by the Labour Party, the political party of both Stoltenberg and Storberget, just hours after explosions ripped through a government building holding Stoltenberg's office in the capital city of Oslo. According to media reports, the suspect had been seen in Oslo earlier in the day. Oslo is 45 minutes from the island of Utoya.

Third children for Maya Rudolph and Paul Thomas Anderson

Maya Rudolph has given birth!

The 38-year-old Bridesmaids actress and director Paul Thomas Anderson welcomed son Jack on July 3, her rep tells.
This is the third child for the couple, who joins older sisters Pearl, 5, and Lucille, 20 months.
"I make big babies," Rudolph joked during a May appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "Pearl was 7 lbs, 5 oz, but she was three weeks early. That's a big baby! Lucy was 8 lbs, 8 oz, so this one's going to be 20 lbs."

Fans are not happy to daniel radcliffe

Legions of "Harry Potter" fans swarmed movie theaters around the planet this past weekend, propelling "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2," the final installment in the lengthy franchise, to a record-breaking $475 million in global ticket sales.

For Daniel Radcliffe, who has spent half his life playing the boy wizard, the phenomenon never gets old. On "The Daily Show" Monday night, host Jon Stewart asked the star, who's currently starring in the Broadway revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," if he ever gets jaded.

"No, not at all. That's what's kind of cool, I think that's what's great about the series is the fact that we haven't gotten jaded," he said. "It's kind of hard to get jaded when you're a 14-year-old and you get to do scenes with Gary Oldman."

"As a 14-year-old, being jaded is in many ways your job," Stewart quipped.

Radcliffe confessed, "I don't think I've ever been particularly good at that." He also expressed his particular appreciation for "Harry Potter's" enthusiastic, unrepentantly nerdy fans: "I think what's lovely about the 'Potter' fans is this does not apply to them in the slightest. I'm always amazed when I meet a person my own age who's kind of enthusiastic and excited, I always latch on to them ... ."

In fact, Radcliffe confessed to his own slightly embarrassing viewing habits. He said he's a big fan of cartoons, including "The Mighty B!" starring his neighbor, Amy Poehler, and even "SpongeBob SquarePants," which he used to watch before going onstage in "Equus," a play about a man who is sexually obsessed with horses -- as one does.

"This girl asked me at the opening-night party, 'How do you prepare for this show?' and like really obviously wanted me to say, 'Oh well, I sit in the stable for a couple of days, talking to myself,'" Radcliffe joked. "And I was like, 'Well, I watch SpongeBob 3 till 4.'"

Stewart then gave Radcliffe the opportunity to field questions from "Potter" fanatics at a recent Quidditch tournament.
"Do you feel any guilt at all for my ongoing virginity?" asked one. Another wondered whether Radcliffe knew "any anti-wedgie spells."

Gwen Stefani set to open children's fashion at Target

Singer and fashion designer Gwen Stefani is reportedly developing an affordable fashion line aimed at kids and tweens to be sold at Target, Women's Wear Daily reports.
The line, which is dubbed Harajuku Mini, will hit the retailer on November 13 and is set to include the same Japanese-inspired flair as her adult Harajuku Lovers line. Items will be priced between $3.99 and $29.99.

Stefani has several fashion ventures including her upscale L.A.M.B. label which includes clothing and fashion accessories like handbags and a fragrance called "L." Stefani's Harajuku Lovers is a creative extension of her debut solo album "Love.Angel.Music.Baby," and features the Japanese style she used on stage during her tour and in her music videos for the album. The clothing line was developed, in part, to be more accessible to mainstream buyers.

Target sells fragrances from L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers. Spokespeople for Target had no immediate comment on the reports.

The 41-year-old ska and rock singer and her husband Gavin Rossdale, the 45-year-old singer of the rock band Bush, are parents to two boys - Kingston, 4, and Zuma, 2.

Stefani has sometimes brought Kingston to her runway shows. In a previous interview with ELLE magazine, the singer slammed the styles of fellow popular music arists Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Katy Perry.

"I don't see myself in those girls," she said. "I usually put pants on. I see these girls as more going for the sex symbol thing. I was more, in the band, like a tomboy. Of course, I think every girl is sexy, so there's going to be a little of that. But I see a lot of younger artists going more toward the sexy thing."

Stefani made headlines in March when it was announced that she donated $1 million to help with relief efforts in Japan following its recent deadly tsunami and earthquake.

This is high time for James Murdoch to take a break from News Corp

James Murdoch should stage his own tactical retreat and resign from News Corporation. The heir apparent to his father Rupert’s media empire has lost authority. That may not be entirely his fault. Underlings seem to have let him down, and his father has undermined him by backing Rebekah Brooks, the head of the group’s scandal-ridden UK newspapers, who reports to James. The best way for Murdoch jnr to regain control of his own destiny is to leave.

Murdoch inherited a hospital pass when he took charge of News Corporation’s European and Asian businesses in December 2007. It seemed that the phone-hacking scandal had been put to bed since a News of the World reporter and a private investigator had already been sent to jail. An internal inquiry had concluded no further action was needed and a law firm had seemingly endorsed that finding.

We now know Murdoch was wrong to rely on that. On multiple occasions over the next three years, News International (the UK newspaper business) brushed aside suggestions that the rot went deeper. Murdoch even agreed to pay hush money to somebody who complained of hacking and the company gave inaccurate information to a parliamentary inquiry. He now says he wasn’t in full possession of the facts at the time. But, at the very least, he seems to have failed to give adequate attention to the affair and grab it by the scruff of the neck.

Even now, Murdoch jnr doesn’t seem in control. One of the most obvious ways of restoring confidence would be to suspend Brooks — who was editor of the News of World when some of the worst alleged practices took place and who is now in charge of all the UK newspapers — until the police investigation is over.

It still isn’t clear why Murdoch hasn’t done a proper job. But every day that goes by, his personal reputation gets tarnished. He would be doing himself a favor by resigning. Who knows: if he then proved himself as an independent media entrepreneur, he might return to News Corp having proved himself, rather than as Daddy’s boy.
