King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, have debuted their annual Christmas card.

“🎄✨It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!” a Saturday, December 7, post via the royal family’s official Instagram read. “The King and Queen are pleased to share this year’s Christmas card.”

The seasonal card featured an image of Charles, 77, and Camilla, 78, strolling hand in hand while visiting Rome’s Villa Wolkonsky earlier this year. The image, taken by Chris Jackson, was snapped during the royal couple’s official state visit to Italy in April.

“Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year,” the inside of the card read.

Photographer Jackson, 45, was especially pleased to take Charles and Camilla’s holiday card pic.

“What a great visit that was,” Jackson wrote via Instagram comment on Saturday. “Happy Christmas!!🎄 🇮🇹.”

Charles’ Christmas card is just one of his annual traditions. Every year, he leads his family — including Camilla, son Prince William and the monarch’s siblings — on a walk to Christmas Day church services at Sandringham Estate. That afternoon, Charles will deliver a sentimental holiday speech to the British people before settling in for an intimate celebration with his family.

“The celebration may carry a wistful tone,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month, referring to Charles and daughter-in-law Princess Kate Middleton’s respective cancer battles. “However, it will also be a time of celebration, especially after Kate received the all-clear.”

Charles and Kate, 43, were both diagnosed with undisclosed forms of cancer in 2024. While the king is still undergoing treatment, Kate revealed that she is in remission earlier this year.

“They all want to make the most of their time together,” the insider added of the family’s holiday plans. “Charles prioritizes duty, but he’s also a family man who knows his time is precious. He wants a special last Christmas in case it’s his last.”

The source further revealed that Charles will do “everything expected of him and more” regarding his public Christmas duties.

“Charles wants to have a traditional holiday with all the royals,” the source added to Us. “Every family Christmas is precious, but it’s especially so for him this year.”

Look Back at the Royal Family’s Christmas Cards Over the Years

Kate kicked off the festive season with the “Together at Christmas” carol concert she, once again, organized on Friday, December 5. Kate was joined by husband William, 43, and their three children at Westminster Abbey.

“At its heart, Christmas speaks of love taking form in the simplest, most human ways. Not in sentimental or grand gestures, but gentle ones. A moment of listening, a word of comfort, a friendly conversation, a helping hand, presence,” the Princess of Wales wrote in a letter to attendees. “These simple acts of care might seem small, but they contribute to the beautiful tapestry of life to which we all belong. Christmas is a time that reminds us how deeply our lives are woven together. Just as the roots of trees share strength beneath the soil, unseen but vital, so too do we. We are drawn by an instinctive pull towards belonging and connection.”

Charles, meanwhile, was absent from the carol service as he had official engagements in Germany that same week.

Is HBO’s ‘Heated Rivalry’ Based on a Book? Biggest Onscreen Differences

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

HBO’s Heated Rivalry is captivating audiences — but what did the TV adaptation change from Rachel Reid‘s Game Changers book series?

Based on the hit book franchise, Heated Rivalry follows two rival professional hockey players Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), whose animosity on the ice is just a front for a secret romance.

Capital One

Heated Rivalry blew up on social media after premiering on Crave and HBO Max in November 2025 — in large part due to the heated scenes between Williams and Storrie. Creator Jacob Tierney opened up about the work that went into developing the fictional TV couple.

“We talked about how every time these guys aren’t touching, they want to be,” Tierney told Swooon at the time. “So the act of not touching should be more difficult for them than touching. They would want to be physical with one another, and that’s part of the public/private dance that they do, and the frustration of being in public.”

Hudson Williams Was on ‘Tracker’ Before HBO’s ‘Heated Rivalry’: What to Know

He continued: “There’s a magnetism because there are two characters that essentially have this chemistry immediately. This magnetic electric thing is happening between them, and they do not get to satisfy it because they’re not allowed to be physical with each other the way that they would like to be in public.”

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of what differs in the TV adaptation of Heated Rivalry:

HBO

As readers may know, the book series doesn’t explore as much of Shane’s parents or his cultural identity since his mother is Japanese and his father is Canadian.

“I felt like [his cultural identity] needed to be said out loud because his name is Shane Hollander,” Tierney told Teen Vogue. “So you can whitewash him in your brain really easily when you’re reading a book or when you’re listening in a way that I don’t want to with this show.”

Speaking of Shane’s arc, his excessive dieting is addressed in Heated Rivalry‘s sequel book The Long Game. But the show doesn’t wait to hint at Shane’s complicated and concerning relationship with food.

Investing More Time in Scott Hunter

The third episode of the show focused on Scott Hunter (François Arnaud) and Kip’s (Robbie G.K.) romance, which is actually the central story of Reid’s Game Changer. Elsewhere in the HBO series, Scott is utilized more when it comes to Shane and Ilya’s romance.

Building up the suspense is a priority in the show, which waited years while the book spanned only two weeks between Shane and Ilya’s initial hookup and then taking the next sexual step.

Notably, Svetlana (Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova) and Sasha’s (Kaden Connors) individual roles in Ilya’s life are expanded on in the show compared to the book.

There are some places book fans were hoping to see that Tierney confirmed were cut due to budget restrictions preventing them from showing more areas on screen.

Mormon Wives’ Demi Talks ‘Awkward’ Fallout of Fruity Pebbles Revelation

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Demi Engemann is addressing the fallout from Jessi Ngatikaura’s Fruity Pebbles revelation.

Jessi, 33, dropped a bomb on her former friend just before Thanksgiving when she made public a sex act that Demi, 31, engaged in with her husband, Bret Engemann, which was teased during season 1 of the hit Hulu reality show.

Capital One

“Since she wants to be petty and be an a**hole, I think I am just going to go ahead and say that grandpa Bret likes to drink her piss like it is dirty soda,” Jessi said in an Instagram Story video on November 25. “He gulps it down like water. And that is what ‘Fruity Pebbles’ means.”

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Thursday, December 4, Demi confessed that Jessi outing her and Bret made things a little awkward around the dinner table at Thanksgiving.

Biggest Claims About Demi’s Alleged Affair From the ‘Mormon Wives’ Reunion

“It’s an awkward topic, not gonna lie,” Demi told the outlet. “I had to go to Thanksgiving the next day. It was not ideal.”

Despite her initial shock at Jessi going public with the couple’s sex act, Demi said she and Bret decided to lean into the controversy.

“Fruity Pebbles has been a topic that we’ve all teased and talked about for so long and as much as it was a private moment, and we never planned on sharing this ourselves, we have nothing else left to do other than just own it and have fun with it,” Demi said.

She continued, “I think I just thought that it’s out there and it’s going to be talked about … I was able to handle the comments and everything with just more levity, which was nice.”

Demi and Jessi fell out during season 2 of Mormon Wives, with their relationship only deteriorating further in season 3, which saw Jessi reveal her affair with Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano Brunette. Marciano also claimed he kissed Demi, which she has denied.

“There are things that people have seen on camera, there’s things that people haven’t seen, and I’m kind of at peace with it,” Demi said of her feud with Jessi. “Whereas, I do feel like Jessi does take a lot of time out of her life to make it a point to dislike me.”

The influencer said she hasn’t closed the door completely on her friendship with Jessi.

“On my end, 100 percent,” Demi responded when asked if there’s a chance of the two reconciling. “If Whitney [Leavitt] and Mikayla [Matthews] can become friends again, there’s hope for Demi and Jessi.”

“And at the end of the day, like, I never wish anyone ill will and I don’t want to ever see anyone fail or suffer. I want to see her do well and I hope she is doing well,” she added.

At the time of Jessi’s Fruity Pebbles revelation, Demi issued a statement via Instagram, writing, “What my husband and I did one time behind closed doors was a consensual and private experience in our marriage.”

“I won’t let a private act between my husband and I be a distraction from a serious act that I did not consent to,” she added, referring to her allegations that Marciano touched her without consent.

Irish influencer Niamh Cullen’s husband, Jamie Gill, died weeks after their first wedding anniversary.

“The unimaginable has happened. Our worst nightmare. My beautiful husband has been taken from us,” Cullen wrote via Instagram in November 2025, announcing Gill’s death at age 33. “[He was] the light of my life. I was the luckiest to be loved and adored by you Jamie. I love you endlessly, not just now, but eternally.”

Cullen married Gill, who maintained a relatively private profile, exactly one year earlier.

“6 months married (last week) we only realized today,” Cullen captioned a set of Instagram selfies in May 2025. “In sickness and in health JJ, I love you forever. You’re my inspiration everyday.”

2017

The social media star revealed via Instagram that they met at Bingo Loco, a local bingo hall.

“8 years ago today. I’m so happy you picked up my card at Bingo Loco and changed your plans to come with us to Metropolis Festival,” Cullen wrote via Instagram in October 2025, celebrating their dating anniversary. “I still remember that warm, fuzzy, excited feeling like it was yesterday ✨. So grateful for everything that’s followed since, hopeful for better days and more memories to be made.”

At the time, Cullen was still living with her ex-boyfriend and asked to remain friends with Gill. Their bond turned romantic the next year.

July 2021

During an appearance on the “Good Glow” podcast, Cullen revealed that she and Gill had recently moved in together.

“I’m feeling super good. I’m in a really good place, [and] I’m living with my boyfriend, Jamie,” she said. “We’re excited.”

The “Unveiled” podcaster further gushed that Gill was a complete “gentleman” when they met.

Gill popped the question after several years of dating.

“And it went a little like this,” Cullen wrote via Instagram, sharing a snap of her diamond engagement ring.

“I simply have no words,” she wrote via Instagram, sharing pics from their destination wedding. “Our wedding day 🕊️. Just the beginning of the [photo] spam.”

When Cullen and Gill embarked on their honeymoon to Italy, he subsequently got sick and was hospitalized for 10 days.

“Just two weeks before Christmas, Jamie underwent major surgery, where doctors discovered a cancerous tumor,” Cullen wrote via Instagram the next year. “Our world shattered in an instant, but we stayed strong. Jamie bravely faced 10 rounds of chemotherapy. There were ups and downs along the way, but nothing could have prepared us for what followed after his 10th session.”

The couple got legally married in Dublin in December.

August 2025

Cullen took a social media hiatus amid Gill’s health struggles.

“Life has been interesting enough. We’ve had some stuff going on at home. I know we will share in time, but at the moment, it’s not my story alone to share,” she told VIP Magazine. “My husband has just been having some struggles with his health. We’re just taking it day by day. I’m trying to be busy but also spend time at home with Jamie.”

Later that month, Cullen shared throwback pictures of the couple from a Kylie Minogue concert the year before.

“This time last year [we were] going to see Kylie, Jamie still talks about it. After that, celebrating our first night in the house, we didn’t have a clue what was ahead,” Cullen wrote via Instagram. “But this makes me excited and hopeful that better days are coming. Life is short. Always make sure you are having a big ball. It’s something we always did together and will continue to do it soon.”

Fall 2025

Gill was hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis, leading doctors to confirm that his cancer had returned.

“My blood still runs cold, but I know this: My husband is a fighter,” Cullen wrote via Instagram on November 14. “We will not give up.”

November 2025

Cullen marked her first wedding anniversary via Instagram amid Gill’s cancer recurrence.

“I can’t believe it’s already our one year wedding anniversary. I was too emotional over the weekend to even look through our photos or think about posting,” she wrote via Instagram on November 10. “Happy anniversary to my amazing, brave, and resilient husband ❤️‍🩹 You make my world a better place.”

Nineteen days later, Cullen confirmed that Gill died at age 33.

Tatiana Schlossberg Reveals How Her Siblings Supported Cancer Treatment

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

As Tatiana Schlossberg underwent stem cell treatment for her terminal cancer battle, her siblings leapt into action to help.

“My sister had turned out to be a match and would donate her stem cells,” Tatiana, 35, wrote in a New Yorker essay published Saturday, November 22, referring to older sister Rose Schlossberg. “My brother [Jack Schlossberg] was a half-match, but he still asked every doctor if maybe a half-match was better, just in case.”

Capital One

The Schlossberg siblings are the three children of Caroline Kennedy — the daughter of the late John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onaissis — and Edwin Schlossberg.

Tatiana discovered that she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2024 shortly after giving birth to her second child. (Tatiana and husband George Moran welcomed a son in 2022 and a daughter in 2024.)

Caroline Kennedy’s Daughter Tatiana, 35, Diagnosed With Terminal Cancer

After consulting her physicians, Tatiana learned that she had a rare mutation in her blood cells and was subsequently given a year to live.

“I could not be cured by a standard course of treatment. I would need a few months, at least, of chemotherapy, which would aim to reduce the number of blast cells in my bone marrow,” she explained in her “A Battle With My Blood” essay for The New Yorker. “Then, I would need a bone-marrow transplant, which could cure me. After the transplant, I would probably need more chemotherapy, on a regular basis, to try to prevent the cancer from returning.”

Tatiana also underwent a couple of clinical trials, in addition to the stem cell treatment using Rose’s donation.

“My sister held her arms straight for hours as the doctors drained blood from one, scooped out and froze her stem cells, and pumped the blood back in the other,” Tatiana recalled of Rose’s procedure. “The cells smelled like canned tomato soup. When the transfusion began, I sneezed twelve times and threw up.”

She added, “Then I waited — for my blood counts to recover, for my sister’s cells to heal and change my body. We wondered if I would get her banana allergy or her personality. My hair started to fall out and I wore scarves to cover my head, remembering, vainly, each time I tied one on, how great my hair used to be.”

While Tatiana was hospitalized, with Moran by her side, her other relatives helped babysit their children.

“My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half,” Tatiana wrote. “They have held my hand unflinchingly while I have suffered, trying not to show their pain and sadness in order to protect me from it. This has been a great gift, even though I feel their pain every day.”

Tatiana Schlossberg’s Brother Jack Breaks Silence On Sister’s Terminal Cancer

She continued, “Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.”

After Tatiana’s essay was published, her family has been in her corner. Jack, 32, even reposted links to the article via his Instagram, while cousin Maria Shriver also offered her support.

“Tatiana is a beautiful writer, journalist, wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. This piece is about what she has been going through for the last year and a half,” Shriver, 70, wrote via her Instagram, specifically responding to the New Yorker story. “It’s an ode to all the doctors and nurses who toil on the frontlines of humanity. It’s so many things, but best to read it yourself, and be blown away by one woman’s life story. And let it be a reminder to be grateful for the life you are living today, right now, this very minute.”

Social Media Influencer Christopher Blake Griffith Countersues Stefon Diggs

Posted on by admin

Airtel Malawi

Not long after NFL star Stefon Diggs submitted a libel lawsuit against a social media influencer, the influencer is clapping back.

Christopher Blake Griffith, the content creator who accused Diggs of sexual assault over the summer, is filing a countersuit against the New England Patriots wide receiver, denying Diggs’ claims of libel, according to a report from TMZ on Friday, November 21.

Capital One

Griffith claims Diggs “drugged and sexually assaulted” him in 2023 after a charity basketball game. Griffith alleged that Diggs and others went to a D.C. club that night before going to Diggs’ home afterwards, where he was assaulted by Diggs and others. In Griffith’s police report from 2023, he also claimed Diggs offered him candy that was “laced with drugs” without knowledge.

According to the TMZ report, when Griffith got to Diggs’ house after leaving the club, Diggs “exposed his penis to Mr. Griffith” and began masturbating. Griffith then allegedly told Diggs to “put his penis away” and when he walked to the door of Diggs’ house, the NFL star tried to kiss him.

The influencer then reportedly hid in Diggs’ bathroom for 45 minutes and was threatened by Diggs’ family when he left the bathroom. One week later, Griffith was allegedly assaulted outside of his Los Angeles apartment and suffered serious injuries.

On October 1, 2025, Diggs filed a libel lawsuit against Griffith, disputing his claims about what happened that night. According to Diggs, he went to his bedroom to wrap up the evening after the basketball game while his assistant asked Griffith to leave the house.

It was at this time that the alleged assault took place.

Over the summer, nearly two years after the alleged incident, Griffith took to social media to put Diggs under fire about what he claims happened that evening.

Griffith posted an Instagram story at the time, claiming the assault and tagging the footwear company Ugg and actress Sarah Jessica Parker in the post. (Both had participated in a campaign for Ugg).

The influencer said he was “disgusted” that the company hired Diggs for the campaign after he filed a police report from the May 2023 incident.

He also shared what he claimed was a copy of his police report in the August 2025 post, tagging the NFL and the Patriots in the post.

“Y’all gon let Aaron Hernandez 2.0 just run wild without penalty?” Griffith posted on his Instagram story, referring to the late tight end who was found guilty of first-degree murder in 2015 before dying by suicide while incarcerated in 2017.

“I’m aware that you’re aware & since we’re BOTH aware, let’s act accordingly.”

Stefon Diggs’ Ex Accuses Him of Trying to Silence Her Over Alleged Assault

In a statement obtained by multiple outlets, Griffith’s lawyer, Jake Lebowitz, denied Diggs’ claims that the events ever happened.

“Mr. Griffith is looking forward to showing the world in Court that regardless of the fairy tale fabricated by Mr. Diggs’ high-priced New York Lawyers, he is the victim of Mr. Diggs’ unwanted sexual advances and his brother’s violent attacks.”

Diggs recently welcomed a baby with his girlfriend, rapper Cardi B, the couple announced on Thursday November 13 via Instagram.
