Would you do a 3?’ We had that discussion, but right now we’re just trying to get it out there to the public, in theaters, and now it’s about to head to digital on August 23, and then it’s going to go actually to hard copy Blu-Ray 4K on November 1. So maybe after that, we can discuss about a Part 3.”

And people try to use it as clickbait like ‘what’s he gonna say this time?’ I try to say the same things. Every now and then I just tease them, but every now and then I’ll give them some philosophy on why I don’t want to do it or why it’s a rumor. But most times now I tend not to talk about it.”
Meghan Markle tells the Archetype podcast that Queen Elizabeth allegedly made her work after her son Archie's room caught on fire during a tour of South Africa in September 2019. "The moment we landed, we had to drop him off at this housing unit that they had had us staying in. He was going to get ready to go down for his nap. We immediately went to an official engagement in this township called Nyanga. We finish the engagement, we get in the car and they say there's been a fire at the residence. What? There's been a fire in the baby's room. What? The heater in the nursery caught on fire. There was no smoke detector. Someone happened to just smell smoke down the hallway, went in, fire extinguished. He was supposed to be sleeping in there. And we came back. And of course, as a mother, you go, Oh, my God, what? Everyone's in tears, everyone's shaken. And what do we have to do? Go out and do another official engagement? I said, This doesn't make any sense. I was like, Can you just tell people what happened? And so much, I think, optically. The focus ends up being on how it looks instead of how it feels."

Dear Fonseca
My ex-wife has primary custody of our seven-year-old daughter. Our daughter wants to get her nose pierced in time for her upcoming school pictures. I don't approve, but my ex-wife does. She says our daughter is old enough to make this decision for herself. I disagree and think she might get bullied and teased. My ex says that will make her grow thick skin if it happens. She says we should allow her to express herself. My wife needs to be a parent and not an enabler or a friend. Should a seven year-old be making decisions like this? Is this irresponsible parenting?
