Kate Middleton, now known as Princess Kate, might look like she has it all together when it comes to being the Princess of Wales. She met her prince, back in 2001 while the two were attending college at the University of St. Andrews, and 10 years later, they tied the knot in a televised ceremony — and one of the most-watched weddings in the world.
The Princess of Wales has been the future queen for a dozen years now, and despite that she appears to look put together on the outside, she did recently reveal one aspect of royal life that she still has to work on.

Olympic gold medalist Kelly Holmes is speaking out about the mental health issues that led her to cut herself daily, in the hopes that it could help others.
Holmes won gold for Great Britain in the 800m and 1,500m sprint during the 2004 Athens games, but just a year earlier, she was harming herself regularly.
The runner was dealing with multiple injuries that she thought would be the end of her career, and started cutting “to release the anguish,” Holmes explained at the Health and Wellbeing Live show, a mental health conference in the U.K., on Sunday, according to the BBC.

Bear Grylls is having a bit of a moment. Not only has he been off running around the Alaskan wilderness with someone called Barack Obama, but it's just emerged that he made £3.3m last year from his merchandise (you can buy everything from Bear Grylls knives to protein shakes to parachutes, apparently).
Now he's gone and said that he wants to be the new David Attenborough - except with more pee-drinking, presumably. And that's the rub: Bear Grylls does loads of really, really disgusting things...

Bear Grylls: Mission Survive has been renewed for a second series by ITV.
The adventure show will return in 2016, bringing together another group of celebrities for a 12-day survival mission led by Grylls.
Filmed in Costa Rica, the first series saw DJ and model Vogue Williams beating Olympic athlete Kelly Holmes and former rugby player Mike Tindall in the final.
Missions included abseiling down waterfalls, crossing rapids, wading through swamps and battling razor-sharp vines, while also getting up close to snakes, eating rats and drinking urine.
Grylls said: "I'm so proud of Mission Survive and all it stands for: endeavour, comradeship and overcoming fears.

Vogue Williams triumphed over Kelly Holmes and Mike Tindall to win Bear Grylls: Mission Survive.
The ITV reality competition concluded tonight (April 3), with Bear Grylls crowning Williams victorious after 12 days in the jungle.
Mission Survive's Vogue Williams: 'I'd rather eat rats than drink wee'
The four-part final competition began with Grylls challenging all three finalists to climb down a massive 300-foot rock face into a ravine.
Tindall and Williams were able to complete the difficult task without any major trouble, but Olympian Holmes's fear of water caused her to nearly drown.
Although Holmes was able to descend the rock successfully, Grylls's assistant Scott Heffield had to rescue her when she began flailing in the ravine.

We're not sure if there will be a second series of Bear Grylls: Mission Survive yet, but golly, if there is, any celebrities signing up would have to be pretty brave indeed! The first series - which comes to an end on Friday (April 3) - has seen the famous faces involved getting wet, cold, miserable, ill and, of course, drinking their own pee.
Now just three are still standing for the final - Kelly Holmes, Mike Tindall and Vogue Williams. We caught up with Vogue to celebrate her getting so far and chatted about her hardest moments, eating rat lollipops, why her husband Brian McFadden probably wouldn't do as well on the show, and which stars she'd love to see taking on the jungle...

We love a Bear Grylls show, so throw eight celebrities into the mix and things are bound to be good, right? That was ITV's hope with Mission Survive, which saw eight famous faces being literally dropped (like, from a helicopter) into the Costa Rican jungle and forced to trek for miles.
The stars really did seem to be tested, from their scary leap into a lake from said helicopter - something hydrophobic Dame Kelly Holmes found particularly difficult - to their attempts to retrieve food, start fires and even hang hammocks.
Some of them seemed to take to the whole thing more than others - Vogue Williams was very handy with a tent, thanks to her two construction degrees - while others struggled, a lot. Like Jamelia, who was terrified of everything from horses to spiders to climbing, and even managed to accidentally burn her bra on night one.

BBC execs will be hoping Danny Boyle's opening ceremony will beat the ratings for the Diamond Jubilee Concert
A glance at the recent history books suggests two things about the BBC's coverage of the Olympics. First, that at least one aspect of its output will be controversial, whether it is inappropriate presenters, inadequate highlights, or a pair of shorts that are just too short.
Second, in ratings terms the BBC's Olympics programming will do to other broadcasters what Usain Bolt tends to do to the other runners in the 100 metres.
This year's Games are likely to be no different, with 2,500 hours of coverage across its various channels (including 24 dedicated Olympics services) and the corporation's critics lined up to seize anything as inappropriate as an 2012-themed sickbag.
The London 2012 Games, it can be reasonably assumed, will be the most popular ever with UK viewers, with BBC schedulers unhindered by the...

Beijing threw $100m at its gobsmacking Olympics opening ceremony. Can Danny Boyle top it? Meanwhile, six cultural figures reveal what they'd like to see at their fantasy opening ceremony
On 27 July, the world will see an elaborate and costly British cinematic event: the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, directed by Oscar-winner Danny Boyle. What on earth is it going to be like? So far, all we know is that he is hiring 10,000 people as extras to be performers and percussionists, and that they will have to make themselves available to rehearse two or three times a week, from March until the big day. No further announcements will be made until the new year. But all followers of the cinema know that Boyle's opening ceremony will be Britain's screen spectacular of 2012.

Dame Kelly Holmes has insisted that she is "fighting fit" and ready to compete in Channel 4's Famous and Fearless. The double Olympic gold medal winner is one of eight celebrities competing in the live extreme sports show next week. However, the 40-year-old told the Liverpool Echo that is "definitely still in the competition", despite being ordered to rest following an accident while training on a mini-bike. "I'm naturally a competitive person, but this is very different for someone who runs round a track," she told the paper. "Fitness levels don't really come into it. It’s more about skill, balance and being fearless. "It's fun and I'm trying different things for the first time. (more)...

To totally rip off the comments from an earlier Meme: You, Producer, Put Down the Beloved Cartoon and Back Away Slowly. Seriously, this is so not cool, a live action/3d/CGI Bugs Bunny movie.
Unless you’ve got a really amazing memory, me saying the two Deathly Hallows movies are going to split at chapter 24 isn’t a spoiler. If you go to the link and find where in the story that is, I’m not responsible.

How would Sky Sports News react as the votes were counted on a tense election night?
Those of you familiar with Hitchcock's film The Lady Vanishes may remember the characters played by Basil Radford and Naunton Wayne continuing to obsess about cricket, as war clouds gathered over Europe, and little old ladies bizarrely were put in charge of important messages about troop movements. Well, on election night, I think I found the modern equivalent.
I thought it might be quite fun, as the marathon election programmes began, to turn to Sky Sports News to see if they were even acknowledging that an election was taking place; and blow me if they were not reading out county cricket scores. Having just switched over from some economic expert reporting that in New York the Dow Jones was falling faster than Vanessa Feltz on a bungee rope, it was strangely soothing to find...

The first couple will take tea -- or coffee, if they prefer -- with Queen Elizabeth, 82, and her husband Prince Philip, 87, in private, with no aides or members of the media present. The quiet, get-to-know-you chat between the heads of state will be a peaceful change from the excitement that has greeted the couple on their first visit to the U.K. since January's inauguration.
