OK! magazine says King Charles is considering making Prince Harry and Meghan Markle part-time Royals in order to end their family feud. A source tells the magazine, “Charles wants to fix the Harry and Meghan problem. The only way he’s going to stop them being a problem is to give into them, which it looks like he is going to do. Charles opinion is it’s better to have them inside the royal tent rather than outside the tent. This is the new Kings decision and his alone. He has not consulted William or Kate. Most people in the family — and the palace — would not do this, but Charles wants to prove he is his own man. He doesn’t see this as giving in to Harry and Meghan, but rather giving his reign a chance. Harry and Meghan would be a great assets overseas for him. He needs to stop them destroying the monarchy. Part of the deal would be Harry’s book needs to disappear in order for this to work.”

Ben has given up a lot of his vices over the years, but he just can’t get rid of the cigarettes. It’s his one guilty pleasure and something Jennifer might have to learn to live with.

Newsweek magazine says LeVar Burton allegedly took a veiled shot at Jeopardy producer Mike Richards. He was doing a Q-and-A session when he said, "Jeopardy! hired the hosts that they wanted so it's all good. I'll always bet on myself and given the opportunity to do it all over again, I would. Well, first I would not believe the executive producer when he told me twice that he was not interested in the job, his job was to find someone to do the job. That's the guy who gave himself the job. So if I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't trust him. But I would insist on knowing that this was a real audition for the job because that's what I thought I was asking for. I just wish they had been more forthcoming at the beginning."

Chris Hemsworth tells Ace Showbiz that he has no plans to bulk up when he plays Thor again. "Each time I've played the character and put the muscle on and put the size on, and then lost it for something else and played another character ... there's muscle memory, and I used to say it sort of got easier each time. This was particularly hard. I think because the target weight we aimed for was quite a ways above where I'd been before. We had 12 months when I was at home, just training and sort of, you know, puppeteering the body and manipulating and trying to like, 'Okay, we could try more swimming now or try more martial arts.' It was a really fun exploration, but I don't know that I wanna get that big again."

Dear Fonseca

My husband and I are torn over whether or not to remove the mirrors in our daughter's bedroom. She is a freshman and already having a tough time with high school because of peer pressure, classwork and some Mean Girls. He thinks it's a good idea if we remove the mirrors because she won't be so self-conscious and will spend more time on other things than her looks. He says we should limit her mirror time like we do her screen time. Should we remove the mirrors or not? Good or bad idea?
