Glossed Over: Kate and Camilla's Royal Smackdown Begins

Devon Scoble Apr 1, 2011

This week on the newsstand: Camilla, the jealous Duchess of Cornwall, starts an ugly campaign against her future stepdaughter-in-law, Ricky Martin travels with an elderly lady, and Hollywood doesn’t have enough men for Jennifer Aniston.

Star
Most Dastardly Use of Foie Gras
The more people grow to love Kate Middleton, the more her future stepmother will hate her, according to Star. “Kate’s the new people’s princess, the new Diana, and Camilla’s back to being the ugly stepmother,” a source tells the magazine. But if Kate thinks she can cruise by on smiles and goodwill alone, she has underestimated her “monster-in-law”. Camilla has already made her first move against Kate, whom she secretly calls “Kate Simpleton”, says Star. The royal smackdown started with a classic stepmonster tactic: get the little pretty to eat something…poisonous! Okay, so that’s not exactly what happened, but Star does allege that Camilla encouraged Kate to order foie gras at a recent lunch, even though Prince Charles has banned the controversial dish from royal menus due to its inhumane method of production. “Kate was mortified to have insulted Charles that way,” wrote the notorious fabricators at Star said a source, “But it was exactly what Camilla had hoped would happen. She wants Kate to get a taste of what it’s like to be criticized in front of the country.”

InTouch
Most Likely to Suffer a Second Bradley Cooper Hangover
Would someone in Hollywood please take Jennifer Aniston on a date? The perennially single hottie has been linked to so many actors that InTouch has run out of new ones. Now that Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger have broken up, InTouch has revived the Cooper/Aniston intrigue. The He’s Just Not That Into You costars dated briefly in 2009,but an InTouch insider says that “Jen would give Bradley another chance in a heartbeat…She likes him.”

Also in InTouch: There are no groupies and boozehounds on Ricky Martin’s tour bus. Instead, Martin travels with his baby twins—and his grandma. “They are definitely coming with me on the road, and Grandma is coming as well. Thank God for grandmas!”

Us Weekly
Most Surprising Trailer Park Girl
Penelope Cruz is known for a lot of things: her superb acting skills, her effortless grace, her chic style. But now we can add mad karaoke rap skillz to her list of accomplishments. The actress was quoted in Us Weekly talking about her passion for karaoke rap: “I like rapping at karaoke. But I only know one song…Eminem: 'Two trailer park girls go round the outside.’ That one. A lot of people are embarrassed to say they like karaoke, but I have a karaoke machine at home, and I’m one of those people that does it by themselves.”

camilla will ALWAYS be the other woman in the eyes of everyone, she's an old lady and i think is angry at kate for stealing her thunder, better to be a "simplton" then a slut.

You have to be kidding? You really believe this crap? People will believe anything they read in the press when it comes to criticizing Camilla because they have never forgiven her about Diana.Yea so she had an affair. Her and a million others in this world. Diana had her share also and ruined at least one marriage in the process. As for this article, pure crap

Maybe it's true, probably not - and no doubt this 'story' of Camilla and Kate is out of context ... but Camilla will always be the ugly stepmother, the other woman, the biatch who (indirectly) killed Diana. May she never reach the throne of Britain. ... For what it's worth ...

Those jewels would look better on an actual rottweiler than on Camilla's wrinkled old turkey neck. Hasn't the woman heard of skin cream or sunblock or laser treatments!?? Cover it up already and wear the baubles over a high-necked outfit. Ugly ...

I don't like Camilla...but I think this article is crap.

If you want to blame someone for Diana's death, why not blame the prick you screwed around on her, defamed her and overtly attacked her lifestyle... none other than Charlie boy. Besides, Camilla and Kate have dined and attended opera, etc together. I doubt Camilla would do anything bad to Kate. She is still working to be accepted. Tabloids should be charged for the crap they print.

Some people are just absolutely ridiculous. Why can't they just leave other people alone, because they are so miserable, they can't stand to see anyone else happy. I think Camilla is the perfect match for Charles and should have been married to him a long, long time ago, and as for Kate, she and William will do just fine and I do not think there is any problems with Kate and Camilla.They both have the men they love and take it from there you news mongers, grow up. (p.s. take all this animosity and go fight in one of the wars, they could use people like you).

Someone should send a suicide bomber to the wedding and get rid of the "royal family" once and for all. THey are of no importance to people who have lives.
