Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will reportedly make the guest list for King Charles III’s coronation in May. Despite their estrangement from the royal family, the new monarch wants his youngest son and daughter-in-law to be in London for the historical event. But according to one royal expert, Harry’s attendance at the coronation could actually be a huge risk for the king.

There are some things you just don’t do on British television, and slamming the Royal Family tops the list. But in the course of two momentous hours, an unwritten, invisible code of conduct that quietly permeates most Royal-centric programming in the U.K. came crashing down.
“Oprah with Meghan and Harry: A Primetime Special” aired on “Love Island” broadcaster ITV at 9 p.m. on Monday night, almost a full 24 hours after the CBS broadcast in the U.S. And though the bombshell interview had already detonated across the pond, you couldn’t not watch. At its peak, the program drew a massive 12.3 million in the U.K. It was the interview many in this country have been anticipating — maybe even dreading — for years.
The sit-down would never have been commissioned by a British broadcaster because the Royal Family would have never allowed it. It was always going to come from the U.

Bruna Papandrea’s Made Up Stories has acquired rights to The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, the debut novel from Australian writer Holly Ringland. The plan is to develop the coming-of-age drama into a TV series.
The novel, a bestseller in Australia after HarperCollins published it in March, centers on a young girl whose violent childhood casts a dark shadow over her adult life. After a family tragedy, 9-year-old Alice Hart is taken in by her estranged grandmother, a flower farmer who raises Alice on the language of Australian native flowers, a way to say the things that are too hard to speak. The book will be published in the U.S. by House of Anansi in March 2019.
Papandrea will produce the TV series alongside Jodi Matterson, Casey Haver and Steve Hutensky for Made Up Stories.

The last word on Channel 4's Benefits Street should go not to a chaotic studio debate but to the people who live there

This winter has seen two deluges. First, the never-ending rain and then the ceaseless torrent of words about Benefits Street.

Last week there was the optimistically titled Benefits Street: The Last Word, followed, as if to confirm the emptiness of that claim, by Benefits Britain: The Debate.

By publicly showing their vulnerability, the likes of Bay, Scott Stossel and Allison Pearson are helping to break wider taboos
The gags were inevitable. Within minutes of Transformers director Michael Bay's panicked exit from a presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas – apparently overcome with stagefright after the autocue broke down – Twitter was sniggering that at last he had done what thousands of others had wanted to do before him: he'd walked out of a Michael Bay production.
But mockery – laced with schadenfreude at witnessing the discomfort of someone otherwise blessed by wealth and success – will not be the only reaction to the footage of Bay's onstage meltdown. Many, many more will feel empathy. After all, fear of public speaking routinely takes first place in the league table of phobias. Psychology Today describes it "the thing we fear more than death". For those who have woken in...

Those who have suggested that The Review Show's move from BBC2 to BBC4 signals the end for the programme are wrong, but the reduction to once a month is a travesty
After almost 20 years on mainstream TV, The Review Show is being shunted to BBC4, its weekly slot reduced to a monthly cameo. As John Dugdale wrote in last week's issue, the messages coming from BBC management are, in the words of my fellow panellist Anne McElvoy, "executive code for likely death". I'd known for a while of the quiet euthanasia that was being performed on the programme that I'd loved since, as a pimply teenager, I'd tuned into Tom Paulin, Tony Parsons and Allison Pearson chewing over the cultural significance of Toy Story on the Late Review. Now the world knew too, and a half-hearted #savethereviewshow campaign briefly fizzled into life on Twitter. I made the trip up to...

Flagship BBC2 arts and culture show loses its weekly status but retains presenters Martha Kearney and Kirsty Wark
For nearly 20 years it has brought BBC2 viewers the latest developments in the world of arts and culture, in various incarnations and featuring bickering panellists including Tom Paulin, Allison Pearson and Tony Parsons.
But now The Review Show, one of the BBC's flagship arts programmes, is to be moved from BBC2 to BBC4 and cut from a weekly to monthly slot – as new director general Lord Hall prepares to join the BBC on 2 April from one of the UK's leading arts institutions, the Royal Opera House.
Arts coverage on BBC1 and BBC2 is being cut as a result of the BBC's £700m cost-cutting measures, Delivering Quality First.
The BBC's arts commissioning editor, Mark Bell, said the reduction in arts coverage was minimal across BBC1 and BBC2, amounting to a "couple of hours" a year.

Highly readable; dull; funnier than expected – from the Telegraph to the New York Times, reviewers of Jk Rowling's first post-Potter literary outing, The Casual Vacancy, are far from reaching a consensus
"No doubt there will be reviewers who have already decided to pour vitriol upon [The Casual Vacancy] no matter its merits," said Jonathan Ruppin, of Foyles, yesterday, and it appears he might have had a point. Reviews have been pouring in for Jk Rowling's first adult novel this morning, and they are nothing if not mixed.
"A solid, traditional and determinedly unadventurous English novel," wrote Theo Tait for the Guardian, while the famously vituperative Michiko Kakutani, reviewing The Casual Vacancy for the New York Times, was unimpressed. "It's as though writing about the real world inhibited Ms Rowling's miraculously inventive imagination, and in depriving her of the tension between the mundane and the marvellous constrained her ability to create a two-, never mind three-dimensional tale,...

Based on British writer Allison Pearson's bestselling novel, this is a pertinent lid-lifter on the stresses and strains of being a modern career woman...

Stanhope claims he's come to roast our pieties on a spit, and delights in his own nasty truths – but there are ideas behind the offensiveness
Title: Deadbeat Hero
Date: 2004
The set-up: What is standup comedy for? Doug Stanhope has prowled around that question for over 20 years. Certainly he's funny, sometimes, but he also brings a mission to the stage – maybe to promote his politics (individualist anarchism, roughly), or maybe just to make himself feel better. If it's the latter, it clearly doesn't work.
Despite his boyish manner, he has the reputation of a transgressive preacher-man, come to roast our pieties on spits. He drinks, he smokes, he belches on stage – he has even taken ecstasy on stage – and he delights in introducing audiences to truths so nasty they must either have their minds expanded, or walk away. "When I go on stage, it's like I'm leading you into battle," he...

Chicago – “I Don’t Know How She Does It” could have been just another misogynistic (you would never see “I Don’t Know How He Does It”…the very title implies sexism) alleged comedy but it goes well beyond that partially because it features one of the worst screenplays of 2011 but also because it is easily one of the most miscast movies ever made. I liked HBO’s “Sex and the City” (not the movies) but Sarah Jessica Parker simply fits this role about as well as Gene Hackman would fit in the co-lead role of the sixth “Fast and the Furious” movie. She’s awkward, uncomfortable, and never once believable. It’s nearly fascinating like a car crash. Instead, it’s just awful.
Blu-ray Rating: 0.5/5.0
A stunning portion of the first act of “Idkhsdi” consists of lead character Kate Reddy (Parker) trying to turn her store-bought pie into something that looks homemade.

Filmmakers seem intent on making your skin crawl with this week's new DVD and Blu-ray releases, via a viral pandemic in "Contagion," demonic tooth fairies in "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark," fresh-water man-eaters in "Shark Night," and Sarah Jessica Parker in "I Don't Know How She Does It" (sorry, Sarah).
To balance out the ick factor, the popular 1999 coming-of-age teen comedy "She's All That" makes its Blu-ray debut.

She'll be attempting to win by nefarious, magical means in next year's Snow White adaptation Mirror Mirror, but Julia Roberts is looking to knuckle down to some serious work for a future project, attaching herself to star in and produce comedy Second Act.
Right now, little is known about the movie's plot, beyond the fact that it'll find Roberts as a woman who has never had to work a full day in her life suddenly becoming confronted with the prospect of taking a job. Topical!
It's all a little embryonic right now, merely an idea floating around in the head of the actress and her producing partners, including ex-agent Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Maven Pictures' Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray. But production company New Regency is on board to drum up financing for whenever they track down a writer and director to get things moving.

Mail and Telegraph critics curiously divided over film version of columnist Allison Pearson's book starring Sarah Jessica Parker
Award four stars to I Don't Know How She Does It, because Daily Telegraph film critic Sarah Crompton finds Sarah Jessica Parker's latest performance an "understated joy" in a bestseller-based movie that shows how "women can adore their job and their family".
Or award it one shrinking star in the Daily Mail, because Chris Tookey deems its "having it all" plot not of its time. Has a "book ever dated more quickly?", he wonders.
Who wrote this creaky, derided tome? "Former Mail columnist Allison Pearson", Tookey helpfully reminds us, before she went back to the Telegraph. I don't know how they do it, either. But there's a slip showing somewhere.

Can you feel the love tonight? After 17 years, Disney’s “The Lion King” has some magic at the weekend box office. The animation re-released in 3D garnered the top box office spot with $29.3 million. According to Box Office Mojo, it is the fifth-highest September opening ever. In 1994, “The Lion King” opened on 66 screens for a little more than $1.8 million for its limited opening weekend. And it earned over $40 million the following weekend for its wide opening weekend that summer. The film has earned a total of $357.8 million, including the original release in 1994, IMAX re-release in 2002 and this past 3D re-release. Box Office Mojo reported the animation now places 17th all-time grossing films with this past weekend’s numbers. The film is voiced by Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Nathan Lane, Jeremy Irons, Rowan Atkinson, Moira Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin and Jonathan Taylor Thomas. “The Lion King” is about a...

This week's hot Hollywood topic is the difficulty of being a working parent, as seen from both a female and male perspective. The woman's viewpoint comes courtesy of I Don't Know How She Does It, a transatlantic adaptation of Allison Pearson's best-selling comic novel. It stars Sarah Jessica Parker as a high-flying Boston investment banker who doesn't have enough time to see her husband (Greg Kinnear) and two children because she's so busy at the office, often with a handsome British colleague (Pierce Brosnan) with that most British of names, Jack Abelhammer.

I don't know whether it's chick-lit or cheque-lit, but a lot of journalists have been writing recently about the problems of multi-tasking women who want it all, though almost without exception the hard-working mothers are more likely to be bothered by the glass-ceilings over their lucrative jobs than the fungus-covered walls of their sink estate flats. "I don't know how she does it" is the astonished statement of wide-eyed admirers and envious detractors of Kate Reddy, a woman in her 30s juggling two lovable kids, marriage to a successful, loving architect and a high-paid job as an investment adviser.
In the novel by British columnist Allison Pearson, she's English, but the American film-makers have transposed her to Boston, where she's the same sort of high-flyer coming in on a whinge and a prayer to share her problems. Played by Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker, she's all jokes,...

The entry on Gus Van Sant's Restless has been updated with pointers to pieces related to the Museum of the Moving Image's retrospective, running through September 30. And of course, we've got roundups running on Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive and Rod Lurie's remake of Sam Peckinpah's Straw Dogs. Meantime, two weeks after the release of Steven Soderbergh's Contagion, we've entered the think piece stage, so that roundup's been kept up-to-date through today as well.

The ideal of the 'Superwoman' juggling motherhood and work has been scotched. Now the pressure on women is to be perfect carers, with careers like a dirty secret
You remember Superwoman: she had a baby under one arm, a briefcase under the other, a phone between her ear and her shoulder, and she could talk eating toast (she still ate carbs: obesity was never her problem because she was always so busy).
She didn't wear shoulder pads (that was Career Woman: never that popular, thanks to Sigourney Weaver), and she didn't wear her pants over her tights (that was first-wave Superwoman). Her real-life embodiment was Nicola Horlick who, in 1996, was 35 years old, a mother of five, and one of the highest earners in the city. She was always modest about this, and said at the time that probably the more difficult job was to raise children while struggling for money,...

Dropping the kids off? Better up your game if you want to keep up with Claudia, Elle, Victoria et al. But how did the busy working mum look become a style statement?
When Allison Pearson wrote her novel I Don't Know How She Does It – subtitled The Life Of Kate Reddy, Working Mother – nine years ago, it was an out-of-the-box publishing hit. For months it seemed you were never more than 10 paces from a copy. The publishers called it "a comedy about failure, a tragedy about success". The trials and absurdities of juggling children and a career were a hot topic, from the review sections of every Sunday broadsheet to the sofas of every daytime chatshow.
Nobody, however, called it a style statement. The paperback cover featured an alarm clock, not a high heel; working motherhood was a watercooler debate, not a look. Fast-forward to the release last night of the film of the book.

Sarah Jessica Parker leaves her usual cinematic confines of New York City for I Don’t Know How She Does It, set in Boston. Parker portrays Kate, a wife and mother of small children with a flourishing career that leads to the title question. Audiences' question will be: Is How She Does It an entertaining visit to the theater?
If you feel as if this movie has been done before, it is probably because it has in various incarnations with diverse stars and situations. But in many ways, this is a situational comedy done differently.
The film is based on the book by Allison Pearson that was a runaway success. Like Confessions of a Shopaholic and Something Borrowed before it, the film will unfortunately disappoint those looking for an onscreen explosion worthy of the big screen treatment of a book they adore.

I'm really excited to see that The Happy Poet is playing again in town tonight at Austin Film Society. Presented in part by Texas Independent Film Network and Screen Door Cinema, Paul Gordon's comedic tale brings us a man with a dream, a hot dog stand, and a desire to provide near-vegetarian fare to the world. Heartfelt and funny and filled with local talent, The Happy Poet is one of my favorite movies of recent years, and with the explosion of the food-truck phenomenon, a must-see film. And if you miss the Afs screening, it'll play in San Marcos on Sept. 28.
On Sunday, Cine Las Americas has a free screening of Un Mundo Maravilloso (A Wonderful World) at Takoba. This 2006 satire from Mexico juxtaposes poverty and political ambition -- the Minister of Economy declares the end of poverty just as a homeless drunkard stumbles on the scene.

Several times during this movie, miscellaneous characters talking about fund manager and mother Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) admit, "I don't know how she does it." Just in case you were unsure what the title of the comedy was or hadn't read the original 2002 novel by Allison Pearson!
In I Don't Know How She Does It, Bostonite Kate is constantly pulled between the business and domestic spheres. It's the age-old story, simplified for film. Kate loves her job, but feels like she is missing her children's formative years. When she's home with her two kids and husband Richard (a handsomely bespectacled Greg Kinnear), she worries that her jerky male officemate Chris Bunce (SNL's Seth Meyers) will claim that all her hard work was really his.

Director: Douglas McGrath Writers: Aline Brosh McKenna (screenplay), Allison Pearson (novel) Starring: Sarah Jessica Parker, Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brosnan, Christina Hendricks, Kelsey Grammer, Seth Meyers I admit I’m not a huge fan of Sarah Jessica Parker. I wasn’t sure what I was going to think about I Don’t Know How She Does It as a result. This seemed like a character with more substance and ambition than most roles Parker has been cast to portray. However, I also must admit several of the cast members – Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear and Christiana Hendricks - are actors I quite like for varying reasons. I Don’t Know How She Does It, based on the novel by Allison Pearson and directed by Douglas McGrath, is not the typical female tale. For one, it’s not a romantic comedy! Kate Reddy (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a woman of substance, even if...

Well, it ‘s past Labor Day and it’s time for the older adults to head back to the multiplex. Usually this signals the time for those big Oscar-bait dramas, but here’s a genteel comedy for the married with kids set-those hungover frat boys will just have to wait for next Summer’s party flicks. Arriving in cinemas now is Douglas McGrath’s (Emma) adaptation (along with 27 Dresses screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna) of Allison Pearson’s book I Don’T Know How She Does It. Well I’m not giving anything away (thanks to the TV spots and trailers) when I tell you that movie shows how she does do somethings and can’t fully do others. Guess it would be a pretty short flick if everything turned out perfect!

This film version of Allison Pearson's harried-mum novel doesn't really get to grips with its main problem: who really cares about the troubles of the rich and powerful
If the Chelsea tractor set ever yearned for their own version of Bicycle Thieves then praise be, here's a film that delivers in spades. I Don't Know How She Does It is a salute to the oppressed middle classes, guaranteed to strike a chord with every harried working mum who's found herself lumbered with a full-time nanny, oodles of cash, a four-storey Boston townhouse and a supportive husband with flexible working hours. What the rest of us pampered, over-privileged wretches are meant to take from this is anyone's guess, though it may well not be pretty.
Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Kate Reddy, torn between her love for her kids and her shining dream of making a fortune in the financial sector.

Timing is everything. Allison Pearson’s pointedly comic novel about a frazzled working mother trying to juggle home, marriage and a high-pressure job in high finance in London, “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” was published in 2002. One worldwide economic collapse later, the movie version seems like a relic from a bygone era. Oh, look, it’s rich people in beautifully appointed houses and they’re worried that the nanny might not arrive on time for them to make important morning meetings at work. Boo-hoo. That’s being meaner than necessary about this inert film adaptation...

In the wake of Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel The Devil Wears Prada, the publishing world saw a dramatic boom in an already-extant subgenre of chick-lit: The swoony romance between a young, awkward New York ingénue and the bland Perfect Man who falls for her in spite of her copious faults, mostly because he doesn’t have enough personality or agency to engage with them. I Don’t Know How She Does It, the film adaptation of Allison Pearson’s bestselling 2002 novel of the same name, is in all ways a continuation of that brand of story, taken ...

In this interview, we talked about:
*** What Attracted Her To The Character Of Allison Henderson?
*** Was She A Fan Of The Book By Allison Pearson?
*** So How Does She Do It?
*** The Feminism Mantra Of The Movie -- Can Women Really Have It All?

In a case of art imitating life, Sarah Jessica Parker is starring in I Don’t Know How She Does It as a woman balancing her career and small kids while trying to maintain a blissful marriage. Parker sat down recently to chat about the film and how her passion for the character Kate was so strong, she thought “she would be an excellent friend to have.”
In I Don’t Know How She Does It, Sjp is married to Richard (Greg Kinnear) as the couple raises children while Parker’s Kate becomes increasingly more successful in her career. Parker knows all too well how to do the balancing act of her professional and personal life and she tells us, in many ways, that is what most drew her to the part.
Her insight into the role and the script based on the popular book by Allison Pearson is priceless,...

It's that age-old question -- can a woman make it in a man’s world? And the answer, according to Sarah Jessica Parker and Pierce Brosnan’s new film I Don’t Know How She Does (which opens nationwide on Friday, September 16z) is that certainly she can, provided she’s willing to give up everything that makes her a wife, a mother and a woman. How do you like those odds, eh? Sadly, 10 minutes into this big screen adaptation of Allison Pearson’s blockbuster New York Times best-selling novel, you might want to take a glance at your iPhone to remind yourself what century it is. It’s a bit of a shock to have that message broadcast in 2011. Here’s another age-old question I’d like to ask -- why does all the guts and humanity that makes you fall in love with a debut British novel always...

Why do so many women fall into the trap of using the fruit bowl as a symbol of how sophisticated their families are?
I'm much looking forward to seeing the film of Allison Pearson's excellent novel I Don't Know How She Does It, starring Sarah Jessica Parker. The book describes, with exuberant wit, the pressures handled by mothers who are also attending to careers, and how fathers get what they are reluctant to believe is a relatively easy ride. That experience certainly resonates with me, and with many of my peers.
Yet there's an unwillingness to accept that women can be their own worst enemies, because they want their homes to be perfect, as well as their professional lives. In the book, there is no more powerful example of this than the fruit bowl. The protagonist, Kate Reddy, complains that only she ever bothers to sort out the fruit...
