Prince Harry bails on ski trip after William's bad press
Prince Harry was the rebellious royal brother for much of his and Prince William's lives, but William made up for lost time recently when he busted out some "dad dancing" moves at a party in Verbier, Switzerland. During the boys-only trip, he also reportedly put his hand on the waist of a woman who was not Duchess Kate and joined a former topless model at a lunch event that seemed to involve more Jaegerbombs than lunch. Now, Harry appears to be avoiding any alignment with those unsavory events. According to the Daily Mail, Harry canceled on a trip to the same resort town where William partied it up over the weekend. He had planned to attend a party at Le Rouge bar in honor of a friend's record label. Instead, he chilled out in London with his girlfriend, Meghan Markle. "Everyone was expecting him, but he'd be mad to be seen here after the furore his brother created," a source tells the Mail. Despite Harry's change of plans, an insider assures the tab folks in Verbier were on William's side after he made headlines during his stay there. "The mood in Verbier is very pro-William," said the source. "No one here thinks he did anything wrong. The worry is that the whole incident will affect Verbier's reputation as a haven for royals and high society." Harry's cancelation also prevented him from getting together with the friends he and Meghan recently feted at a wedding in Jamaica.

Twitter demands answers after Cuba Gooding lifts up Sarah Paulson's skirt
"How would @cubagoodingjr react if a man walked up to his daughter, Piper and lifted her dress up behind her back? #itsneverok."

Other tweets screencapped by HuffPo asked questions like, "does he seriously think this is OK?"

Aaron Sorkin seems a little confused about Hollywood's diversity problem
Uh, did Aaron Sorkin totally miss the whole #OscarsSoWhite hashtag trend? At the Writers Guild Festival in Los Angeles over the weekend, he was reportedly teased by audience members after asking, from multiple angles, whether it was harder for non-white male writers than white male writers like him to get ahead in the industry. "Are you saying that women and minorities have a more difficult time getting their stuff read than white men and you're also saying that [white men] get to make mediocre movies and can continue on?" he asked, according to the New York Post. Despite sarcastic replies to his question, he continued to double check the notion that there's a double standard in Hollywood. "You're saying that if you are a woman or a person of color, you have to hit it out of the park in order to get another chance?" he asked. "What can I do [to help]? I do want to understand what someone like me can do …," he finally said, "but my thing has always been: 'If you write it, they will come.'" Alas, his "thing" may not work so well if the "you" in question is neither white nor male.

"She has her hands full with her career, but having children is what she is most proud of in her life." In the meantime, Sandra reportedly has help with the kids from her boyfriend, photographer Bryan Randall. "They are perfect," said another insider. "They have been both working so it was hard for them to see each other as often as they normally do, but while Sandra works Bryan helps out with the kids. He is like the kids' dad.

Val Kilmer spent a lot of the weekend tweeting about his love for Cate Blanchett
Val Kilmer is feelin' the love in a big way for Cate Blanchett. Over the weekend, he posted a long string of tweets about the actress, who is married to Andrew Upton, before defending himself against commenters who wondered where he was going with the really, really, really appreciative train of thought. "Once I flew all the way to Australia just to talk to Cate Blanchett. Her husband met me first. Or, instead, I guess, to be accurate," he posted. "And recently I've had 2 dreams with #CateBlanchett in them. Her husband wasn't in either of them." Among the other tweets he shared, some of which included photos of Cate were: "She's just as amazing in person. Some super stars aren't-Some superstars don't do a thing to ya in person-Cate is so real it's almost unreal … Once I did a cameo just to hang w/ #cateblanchett who pickd up a shovel in our sc. I was so dazzled by HOW she picked it up I forgot my line. … I mean even if she couldnt act you know what I mean?" When he started getting not-so-positive feedback from followers he, wrote, "Nothing in the least creepy about loving someone. What kind of world do you come from?" He then threw in, "And happy birthday to #JessicaChastain whom I also love love love love love. And a #Julliard alum as well," perhaps to open up the discussion. "She's a friend of mine and I've met her husband thru the years and we've all gotten along just fine," he later tweeted. "Anyone who thinks I need to curb my … Enthusiasm for a great rare artist doesn't understand how difficult the job is and how we artist count on the respect of our peers. She will … Back up every word I say n love that I say I love her. I would love an actor I didn't even enjoy if he flew the world to talk about a role."
