Prince Charles’ chickens killed by fox


Britain's Prince Charles' chickens have been slaughtered.
The 65-year-old royal was forced to temporarily close his Close Farm organic egg business in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, after a fox attacked his chicken coop, killing 24 of his prize birds.
The thrifty heir to the throne - who also owns farms in Windsor, London and Bath - is passionate about organic produce and sells the produce in the farms' shops.
According to the MailOnline, egg enthusiasts in Tetbury were dismayed when they were greeted by a sign informing them they would have to get their protein elsewhere.
The message read: "Dear Customers, The fox killed 24 of our chickens now the rest of the surviving chickens have been brought to a more secure location. This will mean no more eggs to sell, sorry, regards."
This will no doubt come as a blow to the Prince of Wales, who invested around £100,000 in his organic retail business when he moved it from his nearby Highgrove Estate to Tetbury.
His home delivery Veg Shed initiative also shut down last year after the cold spring ruined the vegetable crop, and he has yet to revive it.
However, his Duchy Originals brand - which he founded in 1990 - has proved popular since it partnered with a Waitrose in 2009, with £2.8 million of all profits going to charity each year.

The Only Way is Essex for Queen Elizabeth


Britain's Queen Elizabeth got a taste of the Essex lifestyle yesterday (06.05.14).
The monarch and her husband Prince Philip took part in a 650-strong service at Chelmsford's cathedral church of St Mary the Virgin, St Peter and St Cedd, where the reverend joked about ITV2 reality show 'The Only Way is Essex', famed for its fake tans and nightlife.
During the service, which celebrated 100 years of the diocese, the Right Reverend Stephen Cottrell said: "Created to solve the pressing challenge of massive population growth and urbanisation in east London we are, as one experienced priest put it: 'the most complicated and diverse diocese in the English Church'.
"We serve the most rural, the most urban, the most coastal, and I wish to add, the most glorious diocese in the Church of England. You name it; here in the Diocese of Chelmsford, we've got it. "
"Yes, you could even say, the only way is Essex, but I want to tell you about a better way and its roots in this old county - the way of Jesus Christ."
The Daily Express newspaper reports the 88-year-old ruler and Philip, 92, also paid a visit to Felsted School to unveil a plaque commemorating the school's 450th anniversary and another marking the completion of a new boarding house.
The royals have a strong connection to the establishment since the late Queen Mother attended its 400th anniversary celebrations back in the 60s and former pupil Sir Marcus Setchell helped deliver Prince George last year.

Duchess of Cornwall to open military medical centre


Britain's Duchess of Cornwall is set to open a £138 million military medical training centre.
The royal will pay a visit to Staffordshire in the West Midlands tomorrow (08.05.14) to celebrate the unveiling of the new Defence Medical Services headquarters in Whittington, which has been six years in the making.
Surgeon Captain Stuart Millar, Commander of Defence Medical Services (Whittington), told the Tamworth Herald: "I am extremely pleased to be able to welcome HRH The Duchess of Cornwall to the new home of our organisation, where we will provide the Defence medical community with the training required to ensure that the best possible medical care continues to be afforded to our customer; the man or woman in harm's way, going into harm's way or returned from harm's way who has call on DMS delivered healthcare."
All medical, dental, nursing, health professional, paramedical and support personnel employed by the three Armed Services will now be represented under one roof.
Camilla is due to take a tour of the centre before attending an official reception hosted by the Surgeon General, Air Marshal Paul Evans, and unveiling a commemorative plaque in a special ceremony.
The duchess has been Commodore-in-Chief, Royal Naval Medical Services since 2006.

Corrie legend Jean Alexander not interested in soap’s storylines


Jean Alexander has stopped watching 'Coronation Street' because she thinks there are too many storylines focused on sex.
The 'Corrie' legend played cleaner Hilda Ogden on the ITV soap for 23 years before quitting in 1987, but she's admitted she no longer watches the show because she's not interested in the character's romantic conquests.
Jean told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The only stories they seem to have in mind is who is jumping into whose bed next. I lost interest."
The 88-year-old actress also confessed the idea of watching recent storylines such as Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) cheating on his wife Carla Barlow (Alison King) with Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan) or Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley) locking lips with Marcus Dent (Charlie Condue) would be enough to make her old character Hilda's hair curl without her famous curlers.
The Liverpool-born star hasn't acted since she left 'Last of the Summer Wine' in 2010 and claims she would never consider returning to the cobbled streets of Weatherfield because she's glad she has time to relax now.
She said: "I can do whatever I want to do now, which has been my ideal ever since I was at school. That suits me now."
Jean is proud, however, of how well-loved her character was, and still is, among fans of the soap.
She added: "I loved playing Hilda. I never envisaged how iconic she would become, but to be able to make her someone so many people recognised was an honour."

Matt Smith is ‘really jealous’ of Peter Capaldi


Matt Smith is "really jealous" of new Doctor Who Peter Capaldi.
The 31-year-old actor who played the Eleventh Doctor in the sci-fi series left the programme after four years playing the titular Time Lord in the 2013 Christmas special and is envious of the 'The Thick of It' star who has taken over the role and the excitement he will be experiencing ahead of his debut series.
Speaking at the recent Calgary Expo panel in Canada, Matt said: "I rang (showrunner) Steven Moffat up the other day and found out everything about the new series. It sounds really good! I was really jealous actually."
He hopes Peter's portrayal isn't "better" than his but insists that every actor who has been cast in the coveted role has a "different" take on the character.
Talking at Wizard World Minneapolis, Matt joked: "Will he be better than me? I hope not."
He added: "He'll be different, and it will be a different show and it will be a new show and that's what 'Doctor Who' is about, and I've got to let it go. And the great thing about it is everyone has their own Doctor. So, hopefully, there's a few eight or nine-year-olds out there who I've claimed."

Katie Price to divorce?


Katie Price claims she is divorcing Kieran Hayler.
The former glamour model - who recently announced she is pregnant with her fifth child, her second with the stripper - has accused her spouse of having an affair with her friend and now wants to end their marriage.
She tweeted: "Sorry to say me and kieran are divorcing him and my best friend jane pountney bee having a full blown sexual affair for 7 months (sic)"
The couple - who have eight-month-old son Jett together - married in January 2013 after just a few months of dating.
Katie - who also has children Harvey, 11, Junior, eight, and Princess, six, from previous relationships - gushed earlier this week about how she is happier than ever with Kieran.
She told Now magazine: "I've never been this happy with anyone before. With me and Kieran it's all about the kids and being together and just having a family. I'm much more chilled - I haven't even had mad pregnancy hormones so I think that must be down to the fact he makes me so happy. He's been with me at the worst times when Jett was born and we thought we'd lose him and then he's been through this. He's a good man."

Kym Marsh asked ‘permission’ to date pal’s ex


Kym Marsh insists she asked Stephanie Waring for permission to date Dan Hooper.
The 'Coronation Street' star was recently blasted by the 'Hollyoaks' actress for romancing her former boyfriend - with who she has three-year-old daughter Lexi - just months after they split, but Kym is "upset" her personal text messages were made public and insists her love rival hasn't told the full story.
She said: "Of course I'm upset. The personal texts that were shown were very selective ones and if anyone had seen the full conversation they might feel a little bit differently.
"What she failed to mention was that I did ask her via text if she wanted me to back off from Dan but she didn't reply.
"I also asked her if she wanted me to go and see her so we could talk about it, but she declined the offer.
"I am gutted she went to a paper instead of taking me up on my offer of chatting face-to-face about it. I actually said to her if she still loved him she should do something about it."
The brunette beauty also insisted she isn't friends with Stephanie and the only contact they had was when they met up at showbiz events.
She added to OK! magazine: "I've been painted as the bad person but I know I've done nothing wrong and neither has Dan.
"It's been made out I'm a really good friend of Stephanie's and that's not the case. Stephanie and I are not friends, she's someone I know because she works at 'Hollyoaks'. I wouldn't know where she lives, I've never been on a night out with her and I've never met her for dinner.
"I've seen her at a few showbiz events and there was one time I saw her in Manchester, but it wasn't like we'd arranged to meet. I've done nothing wrong."

Kiefer Sutherland missed 24 family


Kiefer Sutherland missed his '24' "family" while the show was off air.
The 47-year-old actor is back as fugitive ex-Counter Terrorist Agent Jack Bauer in new series '24: Live Another Day' and he admits when the show ended in 2010 after eight seasons he found it hard to know he wouldn't get to see the friends he had made working on the programme.
Speaking at a special screening of the first episode at Old Billingsgate Market in London on Tuesday night (07.05.14), Kiefer said: "I was fine putting the character to bed but we had worked with the crew for eight years, 98 percent of those people were there from day one to the very end. I think over the course of the eight years 32 children were born and 42 marriages happened. I know it sounds trite but we were a family.
"I went to say goodbye to the camera operator Guy on the last day and we used to have a phrase 'we danced together'. He did some of the most beautiful handheld work I've ever seen in my life and he was like working with a really talented actor and I went to shake his hand I wanted to say, 'It's been an honour.' I'm not a real crier but my lip went and I had to look away and so did he. I miss that, I miss my friends ... I just knew that I wasn't going to be able to see those people everyday; I knew I wasn't going to work with those actors everyday and I think that was the hardest thing for me to let go of and that will always be the thing I missed the most about the show. With regards to the character if I want to pull out some costumes I can do that stuff in my house but I miss the people."
Kiefer admits he was as surprised as anyone when he was told by lead writer Howard Gordon that '24' was coming back.
The action hero was initially worried the new series wouldn't be able to match the show's high standards but he thinks the London-based adventure about a plot to assassinate the US President is the best series ever.
Kiefer - who was joined at the Q&A by his co-stars Mary Lynn Rajskub and Yvonne Strahovski - said: "What's it like having Jack back in my life? Well, surprising would be the first word. We put this to bed for a reason, Howard Gordon our lead writer was tired, he'd written 196 episodes which is an unbelievably prolific amount of work it's almost equivalent to a hundred in an eight-year period, so I was very surprised. I actually called him to congratulate him on his Golden Globe win for 'Homeland' and he said, 'I'm really glad you called, I want to talk to you about something.'
"We had set the bar for ourselves with the eight seasons we had done and the last thing we want to do is damage the legacy of a show you've put to bed. Having said that now we've almost finished I'm so glad that this was the decision we made, it's just been an unbelievable experience. I think we've made the best ever season of '24'."
'24: Live Another Day' starts on Wednesday May 7 at 9pm on Sky 1 HD and Sky 1 +1.

Michael Jackson’s children receive $8 million a year


Michael Jackson's children have been granted a total annual income of $8 million.
The late King of Pop left behind three children when he died of acute Propofol intoxication in 2009 - 17-year-old Prince, 16-year-old Paris and 12-year-old Blanket - and the court that oversees their welfare has now allocated finances for their living expenses.
The expenses for the youngsters, who live with their grandmother Katherine Jackson and their cousin T.J. Jackson in Los Angeles, California, breakdown as $3 million for their school fees, $300,000 for holidays and $600,000 for a personal security team.
The court has also authorised them to spend a further $200,000 a year from their late father's estate on renting a mansion.
In addition to Paris, Prince and Blanket each receiving $15,000 a month in spending money, their legal guardian, Katherine, also receives $1.2 million a year for looking after them.
The value of the 'Thriller' hitmaker's estate has grown from £3.5 million to £400 million since his death five years ago.
The sums have emerged as the mother of Prince and Paris - Debbie Rowe - seeks to gain custody of her children, as well as Blanket, who was born through a surrogate mother.
The former nurse, who was married to the pop star for three years between 1996 and 1999, claims the children's grandmother is "too old" to raise them.
