**** ON THE NEWSSTAND **** The Kate Middleton Cover The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly offers an inside look at how marriage and baby has transformed the life of Duchess Kate Middleton. The life of a 21st-century princess isn’t just tiaras and designer dresses! Since George’s July 22 birth, Kate has been balancing motherhood and work her way, putting family before established protocol. Even with the challenges of a fretful baby, she and her husband of two years are determined to keep their home a (mostly) nanny-free zone. Kate’s mom routine would appall 19th-century monarch Queen Victoria, who saw her children only to supervise their baths. And it would even come as a shock to her late mother-in-law, who had to miss William’s very first birthday because of a long-scheduled official trip with Charles to Canada. The duchess’ rules: Her duties cannot take her far from London, and overnight trips are forbidden. With Christmas fast approach...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G.H. Harding **** Eric Idle PYTHON RESURRECTED --- So, the original members of Monty Python team are going to reunite? Each time rumors of the surviving five Pythons getting back together have resurfaced over the years – a US tour in 1999, a sequel to the Holy Grail – hopes have been successively squashed as flat as a man with roses in his head beneath a giant animated foot. (In fact, Eric Idle once joked back that they would only do a reunion if Graham Chapman, who died of cancer in 1989, came back from the dead. “So we're negotiating with his agent.”) But, in the way that no one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition, later today Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Michael Palin and Terry Jones are due to make an announcement at a press conference in London after months of secret talks. Idle, Cleese and Jones have all since taken to Twitter to confirm that it is true. Jones went on to confirm it w...

Six years later, said baby was preaching to his elders in the temple, well on his way to becoming an obnoxious slacker know-it-all. 25 years after that, baby Joshua was baptized by his cousin John, and the heavens opened up and the Big Guy Upstairs pronounced himself well-p...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. HARDING **** Scandal: A Manual RUSH & MOLLOY’S SCANDAL --- Being in the ink-stained wretch business, I knew I was going to love George Rush and Joanna Malloy’s new tome, Scandal: A Manual, but I am truly loving it; not so much for their celebrity-stories (Kirstie Alley, Sylvester Stallone, Don Johnson and Jack Nicholson), but for the memories and references to such legendary newspaper characters like Steve Dunleavy; Richard Johnson; Richard Gooding; Cindy Adams; Liz Smith; Lou Colasuonno; and the dean of them all, Neal Travis. I mean, if you do a job like this, these names are like royalty. The stories are great, but the behind-the-scenes moments are priceless. Their classic Rush & Molloy column in the New York Daily News was required reading … right along with Johnson’s Page Six. I met Joanna years ago and through her, met George, who has always impressed me as a writer out of the Dorothy Parker-era. C...
