I have a whole lot of respects for this lady. She is just one of the very few Hollywood celebrities that I care about. Majority of them can only attract a sneer from me. Yet, this has nothing whatsoever to do with her works as an actress, her beauty or her fashion. Rather, I cherish the fact that she dares to be different. Most of the Hollywood people, and especially the women, are often too busy idolizing their bodies, parading intimate body parts or getting involved in one scandalous issue or the other. And while these silly stuff are being pasted on pages of gossip magazines and all over the internet, Angelina Jolie is somewhere in a remote corner of the world doing some humanitarian works.

Kate Middleton “Tormented” by the Queen.


The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is rumored to be feuding with her royal grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II.

According to Life & Style magazine’s July 14 feature “Tormented by the Queen,” Middleton, 32, is constantly in conflict with the 88-year-old British monarch, most recently over her plans to move baby Prince George, the third-in-line to the throne, out of London.

While Middleton and the queen put on a happy face for public events, insiders insist that they have been privately feuding ever since her wedding to Prince William in April 2011.

According to an insider who claims that Her Majesty picks on everything about the duchess, the Queen “feels very embarrassed by Kate.”

One such embarrassment might have to do with Kate’s choice of clothes. There was actually the incident in Australia where the Duchess’s dress was blown open by Mother Nature to reveal her butt. If shown to the ultra-conservative Queen, that “horrific” picture alone could give her a heart attack.

And there were complaints about the young woman’s “excessive spending”. Topping the list of complaints however is Kate’s poor parenting decisions.
“The Queen feels like Kate still acts like a commoner,” added the source.
