In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Drew Barrymore revealed that she doesn't get her daughters gifts for Christmas. Instead, she takes them on an annual holiday trip. Her kids, 10-year-old Olive and 8-year-old Frankie, don't seem thrilled by it. She said, "I always take them on a trip every Christmas. I don't get them presents, which I think at their ages they don't love, but I say, 'I think we'll remember the place and the photos and the experience and that's what I want to give you.' They get plenty of things throughout the year, so I'm not like some weird, strict, cold mom who's like, 'You don't get any gifts!' I just feel like a better gift would be a life memory. I'd rather invest [in that than in] a doll house or something. It all evens out and it's fine."
Prince Harry was chasing another Hollywood starlet at another point in time. Neve Campbell said on Dax Shepard's podcast, "Armchair Expert," "We had a little dance and he told me that he grew up with a poster of me on his wall I was like, 'Where? In Buckingham Palace?'" After meeting him that one time, Neve was invited to a charity event hosted by Harry, which she attended with partner JJ Field, and it seems Harry didn't know she was in a relationship at the time (or didn't care). She said, "I brought JJ, and some older gentleman came up to me and told me that I was being seated next to Harry, that he had requested. was like, 'Oh, OK. Well, JJ is with me,' and they were like, 'He can sit across the table.' Awkward, right? JJ's a Brit, so he was like, 'I know how to do this game' and he had to sit on the other end of the table while I sat next to Harry. It was so funny" Read more with OK.

The Kardashians may not admit to getting booty injections, but Cardi B has no problem being honest about it, and she's warning her fans not to do it. Cardi got rid of her fillers over the summer, and she told fans, "All I'm going to say is that if you're young, if you're 19, 20, 21, and sometimes you're too skinny, and you be like, 'OMG, I don't have enough fat to put in my ass,' so you [resort] to ass shots, DON'T!" She added, "When it comes to BBLs, if y'all want advice from me, before you get your BBL done, you have to make sure your blood levels are alright. If a doctor says your blood levels are too low or you have diabetes or whatever, don't do it." She warned of the risks involved and mentioned that the woman she had gotten her injections from went to jail because someone died on her table.

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kathy Hilton has finally spoken about her rude moment during Mariska Hargitay's winning moment at the People's Choice Awards, applying lipstick while Mariska made her acceptance speech. She told Extra, "I actually thought I was going to sneeze, and you don't want to hear me sneeze, it's the loudest sneeze. I was looking for a tissue, I didn't have a tissue or a hanky, so I got nervous and just put some lipstick on, and it was during her speech so I thought 'the camera isn't going to be focused on me.'" She then added, "I adore and I respect Mariska very much. I already reached out to her, DMed her, I want to get her address, I feel terrible." To the camera, Kathy said, "I apologize, Mariska, I am really sorry… I look forward to talking to you. I would never do anything to be rude intentionally and I'm really sorry, it was my first time being back on the stage with some of the girls too." She was referring to her fellow housewives, with whom she's had tense history.

She said, "When Will and Kate came over and I had met her for the first time, they came over for dinner. I remember I was in ripped jeans and barefoot." Adding that she didn't realize she shouldn't have been so informal, Meghan further explained, "Like I was a hugger, always been a hugger. I didn't realize that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits. I guess I'd start to understand very quickly that the formality on the outside, carried through on the inside."
