Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Feel ‘Exposed' After Beach Photos Were Leaked, Says Source
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 're-evaluating' if they can trust anyone after beach incident, says source
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's leaked photos from Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria have gained attention. It featured the Duke and Duchess of Sussex watching over their son, Archie, taking surfing lessons. As it was the family's private affair, the couple seemed to be 'devastated' about the leak and is 're-evaluating' whom they can trust. A source told Rob Shuter, 'This was supposed to be a peaceful day. Instead, they feel blindsided and exposed.'
Although Markle and Harry are public figures, they didn't anticipate that their private photos would be surfaced all over the internet. Reportedly, they made sure to keep it under wraps as it was not a 'public outing.' 'They planned every detail to keep it low-key — and someone sold them out,' the insider added. The parents of two thought of the outing to be a 'special day,' but left disappointed and accepted it as 'a wake-up call.'
According to the Daily Mail, Archie has been a part of the Santa Barbara-based surfing institute Surf Happens. They recently shared a video of a talent show, featuring the young royal flaunting his dance moves. At the beach, Markle and Harry joined the other parents and cheered for their son.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes have been the hot topic of discussion due to their royal return rumors. King Charles reportedly would allow Harry and his wife to return to their royal duties, along with their commercial ventures. The aides of the father-son duo met in London last month, hinting at their reconciliation.

Quentin Tarantino Scrapped ‘The Movie Critic' Because It ‘Was Too Much Like' ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and ‘Who Wants to See a Movie About a F—ing Movie Critic?'
Quentin Tarantino has offered an explanation for why he scrapped plans to direct his script 'The Movie Critic,' which would've marked his 10th film — and his final one, if he does keep his years-long promise that he will stop helming features at that count. 'I wasn't really excited about dramatizing what I wrote when I was in pre-production, partly because I'm using the skillset that I learned from 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' [of] 'How are we going to turn Los Angeles into the Hollywood of 1969 without using CGI?'' Tarantino explained in a career-spanning conversation on the Church of Tarantino podcast, recorded in Los Angeles at his coffee shop Pam's Coffy. 'It was something we had to pull off. We had to achieve it. It wasn't for sure that we could do it. … 'The Movie Critic,' there was nothing to figure out. I already kind of knew, more or less, how to turn L.A. into an older time. It was too much like the last one.' More from Variety Simon Pegg Says Quentin Tarantino's Unmade 'Star Trek' Movie Was 'Bats-- Crazy': 'It Was Everything You Would Expect' 'Pulp Fiction:' Lawrence Bender Reflects on Producing Quentin Tarantino's Modern Hollywood Classic Quentin Tarantino Shares Michael Madsen 'Reservoir Dogs' Story During Private Memorial: 'I'm On Your Side, Buddy' Tarantino also explained that 'The Movie Critic' was set in 1977 and began development as an eight-episode TV series, a project that he had teased was in the works in 2022. He also clarified that the story of 'The Movie Critic' had nothing to do with 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' despite rumors that the project was a narrative follow-up. Brad Pitt had been cast in a lead role, leading to speculation that the star would be reprising his 'Once Upon a Time' role of Cliff Booth. Tarantino said that there were no shared characters between the two stories, though he called 'The Movie Critic' a 'spiritual sequel.' He also suggested that he could loop back to the project should he change his mind about it, as it's already written. 'The thing about 'The Movie Critic' is I really, really like it. But there was a challenge that I gave to myself when I did it. 'Can I take the most boring profession in the world and make it an interesting movie?'' Tarantino said. 'Who wants to see a TV show about a fucking movie critic? Who wants to see a movie called 'The Movie Critic'? That was the test. If I can actually make a movie or a TV show about someone who actually watches movies interesting, that is an accomplishment. And I think I did that.' The director continued by saying that he began work on 'The Adventures of Cliff Booth,' the actual sequel to 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' shortly after walking away from 'The Movie Critic.' The Netflix production, which is now shooting in Los Angeles, is written and produced by Tarantino, but David Fincher is directing. In the meantime, Tarantino is planning to open a play on the West End in London in 2026 before working on his 10th (and allegedly final) feature film. 'It's a little crazy to listen to podcasts and hear all these amateur psychiatrists psychoanalyze as if they fucking know what they're talking about about what's going on with me, about how I'm so scared, alright, of my 10th film,' Tarantino said, launching into an impression for his speculative fans. ''Oh my god! Oh my god! I'm so fragile about my legacy. What's going on? I'm paralyzed with fear!' I'm not paralyzed with fear. Trust me.'

Inside Eli Roth's Bloody Brave Plan to Revive Hollywood: Go Directly to Theater Owners With Movies That Scare the S— Out of Him
Eli Roth has spent decades in the entertainment industry, but he's still chasing the high of telling his schoolyard friends about the wild new movie he just saw. 'If someone had given me this tape in seventh grade and I watched it, would I be running around telling all my friends, 'We gotta watch this again right now'?' he says. ''You're coming over after school' and I'm gonna watch their reaction watching it. On a very basic level, that is still how I gauge these movies. Is this something that I want to call Quentin [Tarantino] and go, 'Dude, dude, dude, you gotta see this'?' More from Variety Buzzy Festival Hit 'Dream Eater' Sets Theatrical Release via Eli Roth's The Horror Section, Reveals Trailer (EXCLUSIVE) 'Hostel' TV Series From Eli Roth and Starring Paul Giamatti Lands at Peacock for Development (EXCLUSIVE) Eli Roth's 'Ice Cream Man' Scooped Up by More Global Buyers After Cannes Market Debut (EXCLUSIVE) That mindset is the impetus behind The Horror Section, Roth's new scary movie company. Earlier this year, the organization made headlines when Roth offered regular fans a chance to invest. Nearly 2,500 people joined during the March launch period, pledging anywhere from $100 to $1 million. Although there have been several announcements about Horror Section plans so far — including financing Roth's next original film, 'Ice Cream Man' — its first project is gearing up to hit theaters. The Horror Section's initial acquisition title was 'Jimmy & Stiggs,' a gory, bonkers alien film written and directed by Joe Begos opened Friday on around 800 screens. While Begos has made a name for himself among the indie horror community with films like 2019's 'VFW' and 2022's 'Christmas Bloody Christmas,' 'Jimmy & Stiggs' is an entirely different beast. 'Ti West called me and said, 'Have you seen Joe's movie?'' Roth says. 'He goes, 'He made an old school, early-Peter Jackson movie. He shot it on film, it's all practical effects and it's pretty insane, and it might be right for your company.' I hadn't even thought about releasing other people's movies — we were going to distribute our own films.' Yet 'Jimmy & Stiggs' gave Roth that same feeling he's been chasing since childhood. 'I was blown away,' he says. 'Rarely do I watch a movie that makes me say, 'How the fuck did they do that?' I loved it. It really reminded me of when I saw 'Dead Alive' in the theaters, or that time when I was 15 and I saw 'Evil Dead 2' unrated. They just melt your brain. You can't believe someone made a movie that wet, that violent, that insane, that unhinged.' So Roth reached out to the team at Iconic Events about getting extreme horror in theaters, and the partners headed to CinemaCon in April with the hope of speaking to theater owners. Sure enough, he was able to set up a flurry of meetings. 'What really shocked me was that I could sit down and talk to the theater owners,' Roth says. 'They just set up meetings for me at CinemaCon, and for an entire day from 7:00 a.m. on, I met with every theater chain. They said, 'We'd love this. We would definitely do it if it says 'Eli Roth Presents.' We'll put it in our multiplexes.' We're talking AMC, Cinemark, Marcus, IPic, Alamo … all of them.' Roth says he also was eager to work with the theaters to create additional perks to incentivize moviegoers and make the theater proprietors feel special as well. In order to interest owners, Roth pushed for a theatrical-first experience that doesn't rush films to VOD after just 18 days. He also included custom theater greetings for individual chains and theaters, and non-English messaging as well. For fans, there are unique extras. 'Jimmy & Stiggs' includes fake trailers from Roth (like his 'Thanksgiving' clip from 2007's 'Grindhouse') as well as a post-screening mini-making of documentary shot in Begos' apartment. 'I was blending the line between being a distributor and a director and presenting and on camera,' Roth says. 'I realized how important it is to talk to the theater chains so they see how much you care about their business. I know filmmakers care by the virtue of making the movies, but if you're an actor or a director or producer and you want them to give you front-and-center treatment, you'd be smart to sit down with them. I didn't have those relations. But we couldn't believe how many people wanted to sit down with me. 'These are all the movies I'm going to make.' And then they went, 'This is awesome. If you give us these movies, we'll give you great treatment.' I will live and die by theaters — hopefully live — and people will come out and see you. We live to fight another day.' Beyond the possibility of box office success, Roth wants to help support the careers of ambitious young filmmakers. He cites the poster of his 2006 film 'Hostel' — which was emblazoned with 'Quentin Tarantino Presents' at the top — as a major turning point in his career. 'Quentin putting his name on 'Hostel' was like the most popular kid in high school being like, 'Hey, want to ride in my car?' Then you're in the front seat,' Roth says. 'Everyone's nice to you because you suddenly you have the stamp of approval from the coolest kid in school. It's great to be in a position to do that for the next wave. I want to see more movies from these people, so as much as I want them to succeed, I want them in a position where they can go and make more.' Watch the 'Jimmy & Stiggs' trailer below.

Harry Hamlin celebrates one year of sobriety
Harry Hamlin is celebrating one year of sobriety. The 73-year-old actor - who is married to reality TV star Lisa Rinna - has revealed that he hasn't drunk any alcohol since 2024. Speaking on the Let's Not Talk About the Husband podcast, Harry shared: "Today's one year. It wasn't that big of a deal, but I decided to not use alcohol again." Harry has actually lost "a considerable amount of weight" since he quit drinking and started intermittent fasting. The actor - who has been married to Lisa since 1997 - suggested that he's actually been happier and healthier since he stopped drinking. He said: "It was not difficult for me at all. "I'm very happy [not drinking]. I was always tempted to have a glass of wine in the evening, have some liquor to go to sleep." Harry has quit drinking before, including a four-year spell of sobriety in the 2010s, and he even joined Alcoholics Anonymous at one point in time. The actor thinks he really benefited from his experience with Alcoholics Anonymous. He said: "Everybody should do the programme. One of the greatest gifts that I ever got was doing that for that four-year period." Harry's two brothers were both alcoholics, and so he's always been very conscious of his own drinking habits. He reflected: "It is what it is. It's not that big a deal in my life, by the way. For a lot of people, stopping drinking is a huge deal. For me, it's something I'm happy about doing." Meanwhile, Harry previously revealed that respect and support have been key to his marriage to Lisa. He told Us Weekly: "If we could bottle and sell it, that would be good. I don't think anybody knows. It comes down to listening and being respectful and supportive. Lisa is Lisa, and that in and of itself is kind of a challenge, which is why I don't follow [her] on social media." Lisa also believes that they have complementary personalities. The 62-year-old star said: "In our case, opposites attract. And we're good at allowing the other person to be who they are and do what they want."
