• Kate Middleton Looks Unwell During First Public Appearance at Buckingham Palace in Months

    Kate Middleton finally made it out the door for a public appearance! She and Prince William were on hand at Buckingham Palace today to help Queen Elizabeth greet the president of Singapore, Tony Tan Keng Yam. Middleton looked extremely thin in a plaid Alexander McQueen coat dress, and sources say this is hopefully the start of the duchess being able to resume some of her regular duties. Today was actually her first public sighting since Aug. 7, and it is clear from the photos that Middleton is still a little bit unwell.

  • Queen Elizabeth Snubs Kate Middleton's Family By Not Inviting Them To Traditional Christmas Day Lunch

    Queen Elizabeth has rewritten many old royal traditions or at least she has been willing to bend a lot of the stuffy old rules in order to accommodate younger members of the family. Kate Middleton's marriage to Prince William is believed to be the catalyst for all of changes and Elizabeth's willingness to slowly but surely take steps to pull the monarchy out of the dark ages. One yearly tradition includes the family gathering at Elizabeth's Sandringham House for lunch on Christmas day. While Kate, William and little Prince George have already been invited to this years' occasion, the rest of the Middleton family has been left off of the guest list.

  • Queen Elizabeth's Live-In Staff Pick Up Dates on Tinder and Grindr, Leading to Palace Security Risk

    There has been so much press lately about White House security — or lack thereof, depending upon the situation. It sounds like the U.S. is not the only country dealing with some major leaks, though. Queen Elizabeth II employs 800 live-in employees at Buckingham Palace and, while they are not allowed to have guests there, her staff can bring company back to their individual quarters at St. James's Palace. As long as guests are signed in at the front desk, they can stay the night. And apparently, thanks to apps like Tinder and Grindr, many are sleeping over.

  • Lorde Currently At Work In The Studio, Possibly For New Album [PHOTO]

    Lorde’s debut album Pure Heroine was one of the most popular albums of 2013, and today the “Royals” singer has confirmed that she is currently in the studio, possibly working on her follow-up. On her Instagram account this past Friday, Aug. 29, Lorde posted a close-up photo of a candle in front of a mixing board, with the caption, “i always remind myself to bring a candle for the studio and finally i did today and ohhhhhhh.” You can check out the Instagram photo below.

  • Lorde Sang In A Weird Indie Band In High School [LISTEN]

    New Zealand pop star Lorde has always come off as an indie rocker who accidentally infiltrated and conquered the world of mainstream pop, but yesterday, fan-run Twitter account Lorde Daily uncovered some of the "Royals" singer's pre-fame indie rock roots. Back in the long-lost days of 2012, Lorde performed with Auckland "future noir" band And They Were Masked, contributing vocals (under her real name Ella Yelich O'Connor) on two songs for an album called Characters, which you can listen to below. The band's influences include The Mars Volta, PJ Harvey, Fugazi, Battles, and Fela Kuti, so it's not exactly Pure Heroine.

  • Jack White Covers Lorde's 'Royals' In Concert [WATCH]

    It looks like Jack White has joined Nirvana and Bruce Springsteen on the list of rockers who think Lorde is pretty cool. At a show in Milwaukee last night, July 21, White performed a cover of the New Zealand pop star's massive hit "Royals." As of right now, the only video footage of this performance is a brief, blurry video posted to Instagram, but it's definitely enough to get the picture and realize just how strange this must have been for the audience. Pitchfork reports that White has also performed covers of Jay-Z's "99 Problems" and the Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" during previous stops on his current tour.

  • Weird Al Parodies "Royals" In New Video "Foil" [WATCH]

    Today, Weird Al Yankovic shared the video for his new song "Foil," which parodies Lorde's massive hit single "Royals," Pitchfork reports. The video, which you can watch below, features Yankovic singing about wrapping up leftover food in aluminum foil before going off on a hilarious tangent in the song's second verse, which I won't spoil here. The video also features guest appearances by comedians Patton Oswalt, Tom Lennon, and Robert Ben Garant.
