Pippa Middleton has ‘normal’ relationship with Duchess Catherine


Pippa Middleton is still very close to Britain's Duchess Catherine.
The Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister hit the headlines worldwide for her pert derriere when she acted as bridesmaid during the Royal Wedding in April 2011, but hasn't been spotted with her sibling as much since Catherine married Prince William and her royal duties became a priority.
Speaking out for the first time ever in a televised interview with Today's Matt Lauer, which will air as a two-part world exclusive on NBC next week, Pippa revealed Catherine's newfound superstardom hadn't affected their sisterly bond.
The 30-year-old party planner explained: "Obviously she has pressures that she's taken on and things. But we spend a lot of time together. We still do a lot together as a family.
"And I think that's really the heart for all of us is having a really close family that we can sort of be normal with each other, treat each other normally. And that's sort of kept us all affixed to the ground."
Matt asked: "So you can call any night and say, 'Hey, Kate, it's Pippa. Let's just do girl talk like we used to'?"
She enthused: "Yeah, we do we have a very normal, sisterly relationship. We're very close. And, you know, we support each other and get each other's opinions and things."
Meanwhile, sources told the New York Post that NBC had been after an interview with Pippa for a while and the network was set to offer her a correspondent's role, but the brunette beauty's spokesperson has since denied the claim.

Prince Harry records thank you message for Brazilians


Britain's Prince Harry has recorded a thank you message for the people of Brazil.
The 29-year-old redhead has broken with royal tradition to record a special video via a mobile phone, thanking everyone in the country for their warm welcome during his official visit.
Harry's impromptu speech, filmed with the skyline of Sao Paulo in the background, can be viewed on the monarchy's official YouTube channel.
The polo shirt-clad royal says: "Coming to the end of the trip, four days in Brazil, we've had the most unbelievable time. Thank you so much for all the hospitality and the warmth that everybody has shown me and all our team.
"From visiting hospitals, to visiting the rainforest to visiting Diadema, the whole trip has been absolutely amazing. Meeting all the children, the next generation of footballers, it's really struck home."
Harry has had an action-packed few days in Brazil, which have seen him watch two World Cup games, find out about plans to preserve the Atlantic rainforest, meet orphaned children who lost parents to drugs and violence and visit an Olympic training centre, among many other official engagements.
Royal thanks after an official tour are usually communicated in the form of a letter, but the prince felt so strongly about his visit he chose to make his message public.
He continued: "I feel very, very moved to have spent the last four days here with such amazing passionate people in such a beautiful country.
"Of course, I'll be back again. I was here two years ago in Rio, so it's nice to see the rest of Brazil over this trip."

Prince Harry begins visit to Chile


Britain's Prince Harry begins his visit to Chile today (27.06.14).
The royal will head to the South American country for a three-day official tour following his successful four-day trip to the neighbouring nation of Brazil.
The 29-year-old star is expected to kick off the first day of his visit by laying a wreath on the monument to Bernardo O'Higgins, who helped free the country from Spanish rule during the 19th century.
He will then meet President Michelle Bachelet at the La Moneda presidential palace in the capital Santiago.
Harry - who admitted he almost "blubbed" when he met disadvantaged orphans in Brazil - will get the waterworks going again when he visits underprivileged kindergarten children in Chile via the Integra Foundation.
Having trained with the British Army, the prince is also no doubt looking forward to being given the lowdown about Chile's military when he meets with officers and soldiers in the capital.
He will finish up the day with yet another reception to celebrate his grandmother Queen Elizabeth's official birthday, hosted by Britain's Ambassador to Chile.

Prince Harry visits crack addicts in Brazil


Britain's Prince Harry visited Brazil's notorious 'Crackland' yesterday (26.06.14).
The royal heir was left emotionally raw after a chaotic trip to the infamous area of Sao Paulo dubbed 'Cracolandia', where the drug is sold for 80p a rock.
Harry met with recovering addicts enrolled in a controversial government programme which helps them turn their lives around by giving them a hostel bed, meals and jobs as morning street cleaners for £4 a day, as well as taking courses in the afternoon.
The 29-year-old star was mobbed by workers at the street cleaning depot and at a medical centre, amid heavy police presence.
The prince tried to keep his cool as he chatted to the addicts via an interpreter and asked questions about their unfortunate circumstances.
Before Harry's visit, dozens of hardcore drug users who aren't part of the programme, described as the "walking dead" by one security official, were told to move on from their makeshift beds on the streets.
Harry continues his tour of South America in Chile today, where he will meet President Michelle Bachelet.

Caroline Aherne opens about cancer battle


Caroline Aherne has told how humour helped her cope with cancer.
The 'Royle Family' creator and actress, who is currently battling lung cancer and has previously overcome bladder and eye cancer, joked how her mother used to tell her "only special people get cancer".
The 50-year-old comedienne gave a rousing speech at a conference in Manchester Town Hall yesterday (26.06.14) to help improve cancer care in the city.
Caroline quipped: "My brother and I were born with cancer of the eyes, the retina, [and] my mum told us only special people get cancer. I must be very special because I have had it in my lungs and bladder as well."
The 'Mrs Merton' star also made the audience giggle by sharing an anecdote from her chemotherapy treatment sessions, revealing that a cleaner at Wythenshawe Hospital in Manchester was more eager to meet her 'Royle Family' co-star Ricky Tomlinson than her.
She said: "The cleaner came in one day, she went, 'Oh, I knew you were here, they told me you were here ... oh, that's great, I love the 'Royle Family' but I would've much preferred it to be Ricky in that bed!'
"She was wishing lung cancer on Ricky Tomlinson!"
Caroline went on to heap praise on Macmillan nurses who help cancer patients and their families come to terms with the diagnosis, and says her own nurse was "like an angel".
She added: "When you come out, she answered all your questions that you hadn't been able to ask at the time or you hadn't thought of. It's as worrying for the family when cancer hits as it is for you.
"She was great with my mum - she explained everything. She is an angel and we couldn't have asked for better support. The best bit is they completely understand what you're going through and what your family's going through."

Jean Alexander ‘not in danger’ after health scare


Jean Alexander is "not in danger" after being rushed to hospital following a health scare.
The 'Coronation Street' icon, who played cleaner Hilda Ogden for 23 years, is in good spirits and currently recuperating from a mystery illness at a rehabilitation facility, her brother has revealed.
Jean was taken to a hospital in Southport, Merseyside, by ambulance on Monday (23.06.14) when paramedics responded to a 999 call.
Her brother Kenneth Hodgkinson told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She was taken in hospital on Monday, this last week. She did not feel too well in the morning. She was a little bit shaky so she was taken in and they tried to assess her to see what was the matter.
"We don't think it is serious, she is getting on very well.
"She has left the hospital now and is in rehabilitation, a home, just for a week or so.
"She seems reasonably chirpy and not in danger. From what I hear she is pottering about and so on. It seems to have passed over."
The 88-year-old soap star has thanked fans for their concern through her sibling, but doesn't wish to create a fuss.
Kenneth appealed: "She is very grateful for all the interest shown by the public in her. It is very kind of people to still be interested in her.
"She realises people may want to send cards. But she would be glad if she is not flooded with flowers or chocolates or things like that."

Michael Le Vell wants to get back to work


Michael Le Vell can't wait to get back to work on 'Coronation Street'.
The troubled soap star, who took a break from the show in March after admitting to using cocaine as he awaited trial for child abuse allegations, has revealed he will reprise his role as mechanic Kevin Webster in a "few weeks" and looks forward to reuniting with his cast mates.
He wrote on his Facebook page earlier this week: "Hi all, sorry not been on here for ages but ive had a few things to sort out. But im back now and im back to work in a few weeks, im so looking forward to getting back to the job i love and all the people there who are like my second family i love them all.
"And thank you all for the great support you have given me over some very hard times for me and my family."
The 49-year-old star is expected to return to screens in September after completing a three-week stint in rehabilitation for alcoholism earlier this year.
The actor was first written out of the soap last year pending the outcome of his trial and returned after being cleared of all charges in September.
However, his comeback was short-lived as Michael decided to seek help after meeting with 'Corrie' bosses over his cocaine admission.

Blake Harrison: Posh actors have it easy


Blake Harrison thinks actors from "privileged backgrounds" have an easier path to fame.
The 'Inbetweeners' star, who shot to stardom playing Neil Sutherland in the sitcom, believes actors from wealthy families are groomed for success because they're willing to work for free as they hone their craft.
He explained: "There is an issue with a lot of actors coming from privileged backgrounds. If someone says to them, 'Can you do a play for free?' they'll say, 'Yeah, of course, because mummy and daddy will sort me out.' "
Blake, 28, says his rise through the acting ranks couldn't have been more different as he was forced to work odd hours to make ends meet while pursuing his dream.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I was funding myself doing a play in a pub theatre by sticking labels on the inside of buses between 8pm and 4am, then getting up at 8am for rehearsals."
The comedy actor concedes private school educated stars such as 'Sherlock' actor Benedict Cumberbatch and 'Homeland' leading man Damian Lewis are very talented, but isn't convinced they would be household names if they had a less privileged upbringing.
He added: "They're doing well because they've got talent. But if they'd have come from a more working class background, would they have got to that stage?"
Meanwhile, Blake - who is set to reprise his role as Neil in 'The Inbetweeners 2' movie - has revealed he'd love to follow up his humorous role with a more a dramatic part in hit fantasy show 'Game of Thrones'.
He enthused: "It's fantastic TV. I know a few people in it as I've worked with them. I should ask them to get me in it, but it doesn't work like that."
