Royal Treatment

By Richard Mineards   |   September 3, 2024

Prince Harry and his former-actress wife Meghan Markle have done a new CBS TV interview about cyber abuse, with the Duke of Sussex paying homage to first responders.

During the interview with Jane Pauley, the Riven Rock twosome spoke about how parents need to protect children from online harm – reflecting on their experiences with children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

“So, as we can see what’s happening in the online space, we know there’s a lot of work to be done, and we’re just happy to be able to be part of a change for good,” says Meghan.

Hurtin’ for Burton

Montecito actor Michael Keaton has admitted he felt “nervous” returning to the iconic role of Beetlejuice for Tim Burton’s highly anticipated sequel because he didn’t want to “disappoint anyone.”

He first played the role of the quirky bio-exorcist more than three decades ago. Keaton, 72, played the unforgettable character in the cult 1988 film with Alec Baldwin and Winona Ryder.

The sequel is set for release September 6 with Willem Dafoe and Justin Theroux added to the Burton cast.

“I was nervous going in, because you didn’t want to mess up,” he explained in an interview on the Today show. “It was a case of ‘Can you do this and not disappoint everyone?’”

Highs and Lowe

Rob Lowe, 60, credits the fallout from his notorious sex tape being leaked with helping him get sober.

The St. Elmo’s Fire actor tells People the 1988 scandal, while humiliating at the time, was actually a major reason he beat his struggles with addiction.

“The fallout definitely changed my life at the time, and, in hindsight, I realized it was another step that led me to recovery and reinventing my life.

“But the thing that really changed me was being able to show up for my family and myself.”

On Mended Knee

Former TV talk-show host Oprah Winfrey has revealed that having surgery on both of her knees is the “best thing” she had ever done after being overweight left her debilitated to the point that it was hard to walk “even three steps.”

The longtime Montecito resident, speaking with Al Roker on NBC’s Today show, explained her doctor told her to have the two operations “if she wanted to continue walking,” but admitted she felt intimidated by the whole thing.

Oprah, 70, says that as she gets older, “I felt a sense of urgency about living well” and stressed that “it was all about health.”

“And so, I’d never been through surgery or I was intimidated by it. It was the best thing I’ve ever done. I really felt like I had a new opportunity to live inside my body in a way that I hadn’t been able to for years because of being overweight, and the stress to my knees made it even worse.”
