Prince Harry cannot expand his privacy lawsuit against the publisher of U.K. tabloid The Sun to include allegations against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and presenter Piers Morgan, a London judge has ruled.
The Duke of Sussex’s lawyers were hoping to sue over claims that Murdoch and other top executives were part of an effort to conceal and destroy evidence of unlawful information gathering. The prince alleges that he was targeted by journalists and private investigators working for News Group Newspapers (Ngn) titles The Sun and the now-defunct News Of The World, which closed in 2011.
In March, he sought to amend his case to add new allegations, including that The Sun ordered private investigators to target his now-wife Meghan in 2016. He was further refused permission to push the timeline of the case back to 1994 and 1995, to include allegations involving his late mother, Princess Diana, as Judge Timothy Fancourt of...

Prince Harry will not be able to expand his phone hacking lawsuit against News Group Newspapers to include Rupert Murdoch and Piers Morgan, the UK’s High Court has ruled.
Mr Justice Fancourt ruled on Tuesday that individual allegations against Murdoch and Morgan were not “material” to the case, which is on course to go to trial in January 2025.
Prince Harry and 40 others are suing News Group Newspapers, which publishes The Sun newspaper and shuttered News of the World, over allegations of phone hacking and unlawful information gathering. The publisher denies the allegations.
Fancourt said he was blocking the plaintiffs’ desire to include “trophy targets” in the legal proceedings, adding that this cannot be an “an end in itself.”
Murdoch owns News Group Newspapers, while Morgan — who has a bitter and ongoing feud with Prince Harry — was the editor of the News of the World for around two years from 1994.

Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning says she has got Richard Gadd’s back amid a backlash against his megahit Netflix series.
Gunning told The Radio Times that she is not engaging with comments made by Fiona Harvey, the woman she played in Baby Reindeer under the name Martha.

Fresh from his bombshell interview with ‘the real Martha,’ Piers Morgan has slammed “high-profile people in the business” who have said they know the identity of Richard Gadd’s abuser portrayed in Baby Reindeer.
Along with the furious guessing game to find Gadd’s female stalker sparked by the controversial Netflix series, the internet has been ablaze with sleuths trying to discover the identity of the comedy producer portrayed in episode 4 who grooms, sexually assaults and rapes Gadd. One director has even taken legal action against those targeting him as ‘the real Darrien’. Darrien is played by Tom Goodman-Hill in the show and returns in later episodes.
Some have revealed they are aware of the real abuser’s identity, including Rest is Entertainment host Richard Osman, who claimed recently that “everyone” in the industry is aware and that Gadd has been “very open to people in the industry” about the person who sexually assaulted him.

Some people run away by packing their bags. Others run away by standing in one place for too long. Others don’t run away at all. And that’s just what Fiona Harvey – who says she is the inspiration for Martha in Baby Reindeer – is refusing to do, pressing forward with her lawsuit against Netflix.
The lawsuit stems partly from Netflix allegedly making no attempt to contact Harvey leading up to and after Baby Reindeer becoming a hit for the service. Chris Daw Kc, a barrister working with Harvey, said that the series also grossly misrepresented her persona and past, thus profiting from false portrayals. “Portraying someone as a convicted criminal who has done time in prison, when that is not true, is a pretty clear cut case of defamation, as it is bound to cause serious harm to that person’s reputation…There are strict laws on the use...

Sharon Osbourne is recalling The Talk incident from 2021, which led to her firing, and says she regrets apologizing to Sheryl Underwood.
In a new interview, Osbourne wishes she hadn’t taken her kids’ advice in apologizing to her CBS daytime talk show co-host after a heated discussion about race.
“I apologized to her, I didn’t want to because I felt I didn’t do anything wrong,” Osbourne said on The Sage Steele Show. “But my kid said to me, ‘Just apologize to her. Maybe you’re wrong and she read you wrong or something, just in case, apologize.’ And I did. I apologized to her. I called her. She wouldn’t pick up my calls and then she lied and said I never apologized. I have it all documented on my phone. You can never say that anymore because your a** is busted.”

Piers Morgan is reflecting on his interview last week with Baby Reindeer’s real-life Martha, arguing that Fiona Harvey was “failed” by Netflix.
Morgan told ITV’s Lorraine show that Netflix had not done enough to protect Harvey’s identity after she was tracked down by internet sleuths within days of Richard Gadd’s series premiering.
Morgan added that the streaming giant faced legal questions after billing Baby Reindeer as a “true story.” Harvey has said that she is considering suing Netflix.
“They failed in their duty of care to Harvey, there’s no question about that — Netflix in particular,” Morgan said. “The key question is whether they’ve defamed her. If you accuse somebody of being a convicted stalker and they’re not a convicted stalker, that’s a pretty serious mistake to make.”

Richard Gadd is just going to let the internet do its thing. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, published Monday, the Baby Reindeer creator reiterated that he would not confirm or deny the real-life identities of the people portrayed in the Netflix show.
“I know for every single part, there’s been about five or six people who have been sort of named as each part, even all the way down to the pub manager,” Gadd said. “The internet’s always going to do its thing. I can’t really comment on that.

Richard Gadd on ‘Baby Reindeer’ Phenomenon, Losing Anonymity and What He Won’t Ever Comment on Again
On a recent Friday, Richard Gadd ducked into a London pub before seeing his favorite band the Pogues hit the stage. A quiet night with friends quickly derailed into a fan frenzy to the massive popularity of Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, the critically acclaimed limited series that Gadd created and stars in based on traumatic real-life experiences.
“It was bedlam, it was chaos,” he explains of the scene that unfolded as patrons, one after another, rushed over to share stories about how the seven episodes had affected them. “I thought, ‘Oh, I can’t really go into pubs anymore and expect to sit quietly in a corner and have some food.” A similar situation played out on the plane when Gadd flew to Los Angeles for press and appearances in early May, as the pilots exited the cockpit upon hearing he was a passenger. “That was quite surreal.

Fiona Harvey, the woman claiming to be the real-life stalker who inspired Netflix’s Baby Reindeer, sat for her first on-camera interview since the limited series became a cultural phenomenon, joining Piers Morgan for an hourlong interview posted to his YouTube channel on Thursday.
Harvey claims she had no choice in coming forward — “I was forced into this situation” — after “internet sleuths” tracked her down and lodged death threats. She had recently sat down with The Daily Mail (allegedly later stalking that reporter) and been accused in another story of stalking a Glasgow couple (and threatening them with death). But the conversation on Piers Morgan Uncensored has brought the Baby Reindeer brouhaha to another level.

Richard Gadd has said he has been shocked by the success of Baby Reindeer and his new-found fame amid blurring lines between the Netflix series and reality.
In an interview with The Daily Record newspaper, Gadd said he thought Baby Reindeer would just be “a little cult artistic gem” rather than the monster hit it has become.
“It was, like, crazy. I never expected it to sort of blow up like this,” Gadd said. “I believed it would be successful but I didn’t expect overnight, I don’t even like to use this word, fame.”
He added: “I really believed in this show but it really felt like one day it went on the platform and the next day there were people camping in my garden.”

Based on Richard Gadd’s autobiographical one-man show of the same name, Netflix’s Baby Reindeer is based on Gadd’s real-life experience of being stalked by a woman named Martha. The series has become a huge hit for the streaming service since its debut last month, but the real-life Martha has come forward, slamming her portrayal in the show as “obscene” and “defamatory.“
Although Richard Gadd had asked fans not to try to identify the real-life people behind the characters, it didn’t take long for interview sleuths to track down Gadd’s alleged stalker, Scottish lawyer Fiona Harvey. In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, the real-life Martha said that the entire Baby Reindeer series is a work of “hyperbole” and “fiction,” adding that she is considering taking legal action against Netflix.

Doctor Who mastermind Russell T. Davies is weighing in on the controversy surrounding Netflix‘s smash hit series Baby Reindeer.
The writer said in an interview with The Times that the BBC would have been “much stricter” when it comes to disguising the real-life identities of the characters created by Scottish comedian Richard Gadd. “Compliance and editorial policy drives us mad here but I sleep at night,” Davies said.
His comments follow a whirlwind of scrutiny for Netflix producers, and even fans of the series, who took it upon themselves to try and unveil the real people depicted on the show, including the trans woman Gadd’s character dates, played by Nava Mau, and the TV producer who sexually assaults him, portrayed by Tom Goodman-Hill.
On Thursday, British host Piers Morgan will interview a woman named Fiona Harvey who claims to be the inspiration behind the show’s stalker, Martha.

Piers Morgan Teases Interview With Real-Life ‘Baby Reindeer’ Stalker as Netflix Responds to Hysteria
Another day, another series of Baby Reindeer headlines.
The breakout hit limited series from Netflix — created by and starring Scottish comedian Richard Gadd inspired by a traumatic, six-year-long stalking incident — has inspired a flurry of coverage following an April 11 debut as it rocketed to the top of the streamer’s TV viewing charts for three straight weeks. Because Gadd pulled from personal experience to craft the true crime tale, journalists and internet sleuths have attempted to track down the real people behind Baby Reindeer‘s characters.
The focus has fallen on two characters in particular: the stalker Martha, played by Jessica Gunning, and the creative mentor Darrien who drugged and sexually assaulted Gadd, played by Tom Goodman-Hill. The fever burned so hot and inspired so many stories that Gadd took to Instagram to urge fans to stop the speculation because innocent people were getting caught in the mess. “That’s...

Sharon Osbourne isn’t welcome in America anymore. Here’s what she has to say about it. Sharon Osbourne Reveals Her US Opportunities Are Dried Up Following Her Exit From The Talk
Sharon Osbourne may have been voted out of “Celebrity Big Brother” as fast as Princess Kate’s uncle had been, but not before she shared tidbits about what her career is like overseas, which strictly speaking, was where she thrived at in recent years.

“I got banned in America,” she said during a conversation with fellow housemates Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh. “I can legally, but nobody will employ me because they say I’m racist.”

William Shatner took a moment on Real Time Friday to reflect on living boldly throughout his acting career.
The Star Trek star, who has hundreds of credits to his name, was asked by host Bill Maher if his outgoing personality was shaped by his character Captain James T. Kirk or if the show thought he was already a “boldly going guy” when he auditioned for the legendary role.
“As an actor, taking a job … maybe it’ll be successful, I’ll do the best I can,” Shatner explained. “And then invariably the numbers are mostly fails and then every so often something is successful.”
He continued, “The fact that Star Trek became a showbiz phenomenon that lasted, what, 60 years? And there’s all these other shows and all these other actors. Who knew? Nobody knew.”
In 1966, Capt. Kirk was Shatner’s breakout role in Hollywood, although the series was canceled after just three seasons.

When Donald Trump left his seat in the boardroom as the star of his long-running NBC reality series “The Apprentice” in 2015, in order to run for president of the United States, he had a clear successor in mind.
“I said, ‘The best person to hire would be Ivanka Trump,’” Donald Trump says. “I didn’t press it. But I felt Ivanka would have been by far the best person you could hire.”
Trump shares this revelation in a new book about his years as a reality star, “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass,” written by Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh. The book peels back the curtain on how Trump’s decade playing an all-knowing mogul on TV shaped his image as a politician, ultimately catapulting him to the White House.

The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.
And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals. Their charm, playful personality and great sense of humor make up for their impulsiveness and sometimes hot-temper, and there’s absolutely no other sign who will keep it all the way real with you like an Aries does, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear. They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.

They just can’t let it go, now can they? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again being called out for trying to be very private people, but at the same time, acting in a very public matter.
This time around it has to do with Kate Middleton and her cancer diagnosis. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Slammed For Using The Press To Reach Kate Middleton
A new report by People magazine suggests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle privately reached out to Kate Middleton and Prince William and her cancer announcement.
But British television personality Piers Morgan was quick to point out that if it was done privately, then how would a major publication like People know about it so quickly?
Clearly, someone is leaking information to the press to make themselves look good – and Piers probably already knows who it is.

A trio of royal commentators are united in their beliefs that Kate Middleton appears to be “taking the fall” for a “cataclysmic error” within the royal family. Their commentary is in regards to a photo the House of Windsor released of Kate with her three children two months after her surgery. The Associated Press, Afp, and Reuters subsequently issued kill notifications for the image because it was edited.

NewsCorp will stop broadcasting its Talk TV television channel in the United Kingdom and transition the network to an online-only operation, the company affirmed on Tuesday.
The move was announced about a month after the network’s biggest prime-time host Piers Morgan quit Talk TV in favor of producing his own YouTube videos.
Scott Taunton, the president of Talk TV, said the move was necessitated by shifting consumer trends in the United Kingdom, which have seen more TV viewers move away from broadcast and cable channels in favor of streaming services.
“Two years ago, we would not have been brave enough to launch a channel without a linear presence, but audiences of all ages have moved fast and smartphones are now the primary device where news is consumed,” Taunton said...

Often hailed as one of the most innovative filmmakers of all time, Werner Herzog, known for Grizzly Man and Aguirre, the Wrath of God, recently shared his viewpoint on Margot Robbie’s Barbie. Last summer, Barbenheimer broke the internet, as both Oppenheimer and Barbie went on to become commercial and critical successes, with the latter becoming the biggest film of the year.
However, the acclaimed filmmaker revealed that he had yet to watch Oppenheimer, but he did watch the opening 30 minutes of Barbie, and Herzog didn’t seem too keen about his experience.

Even months after the fact, these days, the standard question every filmmaker seems to get is something about “Barbie” or #Barbieheimer, or maybe it’s just Piers Morgan. Filmmaker Werner Herzog was on Piers Morgan Uncensored recently, for some reason, to discuss his life and career, but also because it’s Morgan, “woke culture” in Hollywood, Putin, Israel, Hamas, and because it’s hard-hitting journalism, hypnotizing chickens.

Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is, perhaps, one of the most misunderstood films of all time. A vast majority of the audience adored its message, while simultaneously reveling in the breathless beauty of Barbie Land.
Unfortunately, some did not understand what the film was trying to put forth or did not like the ‘feminist’ undertones that it had. Regardless of why they dislike the film, it has prompted them to criticize the entire movie, being angry at every little detail of it.

Werner Herzog is one of the most respected, revered German actor-filmmaker who has earned a splendid reputation in Hollywood as well. A pioneer of movies and documentaries, Herzog’s weird reputation and often unusual tales precede his reputation but he is nonetheless an individual who has contributed massively to cinema, with many accolades to his name.

Few directors are as admired and esteemed in the entertainment industry as Werner Herzog and Martin Scorsese. These two titans of the industry have become household names thanks to their distinct styles and uncompromising visions. However, it appears that Herzog is not afraid to challenge even his fellow cinematic legends on the subject of comic book movies.
In a recent interview, Herzog—the pioneer of New German Cinema—made waves by saying that he completely agrees with Scorsese’s dismay at the dominance of superhero flicks. However, the director-author, 81, also maintained that these movies aren’t simply entertainment. They are a reflection of our society and culture, and should not be so easily dismissed by those who believe themselves to be above such populist fare.

Werner Herzog may have not gotten through all of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, but the legendary filmmaker didn’t seem too keen on the part he did watch.
During a recent appearance on the show Piers Morgan: Uncensored, the host asked Herzog if he was Team Barbie or Team Oppenheimer — the two films that led the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon last summer.
“I have not seen Oppenheimer yet, but I will do it,” the director admitted. “Barbie, I managed to see the first half hour, and I was curious. I wanted to watch it because I was curious. And I still don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion. Could it be that the world of Barbie is sheer hell?”
He added, “For a movie ticket, as an audience, you can witness sheer hell, as close as it gets.”

Whether you love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Barbie was the biggest movie of the year, but what did Werner Herzog think of the film?
When asked by Piers Morgan if he was more of an Oppenheimer fan or a Barbie fan, Werner Herzog said he had only watched the first thirty minutes of Barbie, but had a rather unique assessment. “I have not seen Oppenheimer yet, but with Barbie, I managed to see the first half hour. I wanted to watch it because I was curious, and I still don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion,” Herzog said. “Could it be that the world of Barbie is sheer hell? For a movie ticket, as an audience, you can witness sheer hell as close as it gets.” The director did add that he plans to watch the whole thing, so we’ll see...

Legendary director Werner Herzog was asked by Piers Morgan on the latter’s “Uncensored” talk show to weigh in on the “Barbenheimer” phenomenon, but Herzog was no expert on the matter. The “Grizzly Man” and “Aguirre, the Wrath of God” filmmaker never got around to seeing Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb epic, and he seemed to be chilled to the bone after watching only 30 minutes of Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster Mattel comedy.
“I have not seen ‘Oppenheimer’ yet, but I will do it. ‘Barbie,’ I managed to see the first half-hour,” Herzog said. “I was curious and I wanted to watch it because I was curious. And I still don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion – could it be that the world of Barbie is sheer hell? For a movie ticket, as an audience, you can witness sheer hell, as close as it gets.”

Werner Herzog didn’t make it through all of “Barbie,” though it doesn’t sound like he loved the bits he did see.
On the “Piers Morgan: Uncensored” TV show, Morgan asked the legendary filmmaker if he’s on Team Barbie or Team Oppenheimer. The answer was neither, though each was out for very different reasons.
“I have not seen ‘Oppenheimer’ yet, but I will do it,” Herzog said. “‘Barbie,’ I managed to see the first half hour, and I was curious. I wanted to watch it because I was curious. And I still don’t have an answer, but I have a suspicion. Could it be that the world of ‘Barbie’ is sheer hell?”
Herzog continued, “For a movie ticket, as an audience, you can witness sheer hell, as close as it gets.”
Boy did that delight Morgan, who was a kid in a candy store over the apparent diss.
