The odd royal rule that means Prince George has to change the way he travels
Oh, and a cute video of George and his siblings frolicking around the countryside:
Anyway, now that George is 12 apparently there are going to be some major changes to his security. According to the Daily Mail, "his parents have been urged to take care to ensure the safety of the future king," which means George will likely start traveling apart from Prince William and Kate Middleton.
A former royal helicopter pilot notes that Prince William stopped traveling with his parents when he was 12, saying "Interestingly, we flew all four–the Prince, the Princess, Prince William and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old. After that, he had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty. When William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt and we would fly the 146 out with the other three on."
As for why George (and William before him) has to fly separately, apparently it's to ensure the safety of the succession. A "friend of William and Catherine" confirmed that "William is a skilled pilot and loves flying but George must travel separately now," while a Kensington Palace spokesman simply said: "We don't comment on travel."
Either way, the issue has allegedly been a source of disagreement between Prince William and his father.
Per royal author Robert Jobson, "One recent source of disagreement is William's stubborn refusal to take his father's advice on safeguarding the succession. Earlier this year, the King had raised concerns with his son about the wisdom of William using his helicopter to fly his entire family around the country."

'Give the Black man the black one,' Thompson joked as he took the stage, referring to the color of his trophy. Thompson's clip package included scenes from his days at Nickelodeon's All That and Kenan & Kel, as well as his time on the NBC late-night sketch show. 'Thank you very much, wow! This is amazing! Yes, it is I, thespian Kenan Thompson. You know me from my work, including but not limited to the words, 'Tweedle-dee-doo,' 'What?!', 'Shut up!', 'No! My Gucci shoes!', and ''Ooh-wee, what's up with that?'' He continued, 'It really is a dream come true for me to win a Las Culturistas Culture Award. Thank you to Aidy 'Sweet Baby' Bryant. Aidy was on SNL for 10 years. And that is only 190 years less than me. I have been on your TV forever. I'm going to be in your hearts for even longer, I hope.'

She continued, 'I've had an incredibly lucky life and I've had the opportunity of working with so many amazing people and one parakeet — but seriously, I've always said that acting is a team sport, and working in an ensemble with a community of artists brings me more joy than anything I ever could have imagined. And to have my work become part of the cultural zeitgeist and recognized by the Las Culturistas community, it's incredibly humbling and probably my favorite award show I've ever attended.' Now let's all remember how Jamie Lee Curtis greeted Allison Janney on the red carpet of the award show in the video below.

'Project Runway' alum alleges Andy Cohen was more of a 'predator' on set than Harvey Weinstein
Project Runway is back on the air again, which seems to have prompted one alum to air her grievances against the show and former executive producer Andy Cohen. Season 5 contestant Kenley Collins opened up in an explosive social media post, criticizing the reality TV design competition and comparing Cohen to convicted sexual predator Harvey Weinstein. 'Do you guys really think Harvey Weinstein was the worst one on set? Andy Cohen was,' Collins alleges in a series of videos she posted on her Instagram account. The Weinstein Company produced the early seasons of the show when it was airing on Bravo, and Cohen, who Collins alleges was a 'predator' on set, was also an executive producer from 2004 to 2008. 'Andy Cohen was disgusting, horrible, worst, predator with the gays, hopping around the set like, 'Hey Twinks!' Collins alleged. The Project Runway and All Stars alum claims that she witnessed the longtime Bravo host and producer of 'propositioning designers to have a threesome.' 'We called you 'The Gay Weinstein,' acting like a f*cking clown on set,' Collins said. The 37-year-old fashion designer also brought up allegations made by Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Nene Leakes and referenced the ongoing court cases that have claimed Cohen is guilty of establishing a hostile workplace. 'NBC can pay all the money in the world to cover your ass after Nene spoke the truth about you,' Kenley continued. 'You're a racist predator. You're finished.' Although she dropped her lawsuit in 2022, Leakes claimed that Cohen and other network executives from Bravo and NBC Universal violated federal employment and anti-discrimination laws by fostering "a corporate and workplace culture in which racially-insensitive and inappropriate behavior is tolerated — if not, encouraged,' People reported. But she isn't the only one who alleges that Cohen and other producers are bad actors. Former Real Housewives of New York City star Leah McSweeney has an ongoing lawsuit against Cohen, Bravo Media, NBC Universal Media, Warner Bros. Discovery, production company Shed Media US, and two producers who she alleges exploited her addiction while she was on the show. In March, the judge dismissed all of the charges except for three of McSweeney's disability-related claims, and an outside investigation into the claims that McSweeney and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville made against Cohen was 'found to be unsubstantiated.' In a follow-up post on Instagram, Collins thanked her fans for their support and alluded to the possibility that she would reveal more details in the future. 'It's been a scary yet freeing past few days. I'm not stopping. There is more to come,' she captioned the post. 'Thank you guys for the love and support. I did not expect that. I'm very touched. Stay tuned.' Cohen did not immediately respond to PRIDE's request for comment.

Brad Pitt's Mom Jane Etta Pitt Dead At 84
Brad Pitt's Mom Jane Etta Pitt Dead At 84 originally appeared on Parade. Brad Pitt is mourning the loss of his mother, Jane Etta Pitt, who has passed away at the age of 84. Sources close to the family confirmed to TMZ on Wednesday, August 6, that Jane died within the past couple of days. One of Jane's granddaughters, Sidney Pitt, also posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. 'My sweet Grammy, Jane Etta, we were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier.,' Sidney began her caption. She elaborated on how her 'Grammy' taught her strength, how to paint, and kindness. She told childhood stories, and how her grandmother believed in 'doing good simply because it was the right thing to do.' Brad, 60, was said to be especially tight with his mother, often crediting her as the emotional cornerstone of their family. Jane worked as a family counselor and generally stayed out of the public eye, though she did attend several red carpets along with Brad's father, William Pitt, to support her son throughout his career. Jane shared a decades-long love story with her husband that began at Oklahoma Baptist University, where the two first met, according to PEOPLE. They tied the knot in 1962 and welcomed Brad soon after. The young family eventually moved from Oklahoma to Tulsa before settling in Springfield, Missouri — the city where Brad and his younger siblings, Doug and Julie, would grow up. In addition to her husband and three children, Jane also leaves behind 14 grandchildren. At this time, her cause of death is unknown.
