Oprah Winfrey’s New Documentary: Finding Sarah (about Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York)

December 26, 2010 Alexandra 4 Comments

In this Sunday’s Parade Magazine, media goddess and gazillionaire, Oprah Winfrey discusses her new network, OWN, and the new documentary Finding Sarah… about Sarah Ferguson.

Barf.

Any way, this six-part documentary (to be aired sometime in Spring 2011) follows the embarrassing saga of Sarah, Duchess of York and her ambition to change her pathetic life around. The idea for the documentary can about after Miss Winfrey interviewed Sarah regarding her shady life and her attempt to receive “… £500,000 [for access to Prince Andrew]” from some dude.

I remember the last thing I said to her when I left the interview: ‘Don’t let me see you on Dancing with the Stars.’ [Then] She started emailing me and at one point asked what did I think of her doing a celebrity chef show. And I said, ‘That’s not going to help you. How are you going to rehabilitate yourself?’

Miss Winfrey goes on to discuss her idea of documenting Sarah in hopes that if she sees herself the way others do it might help her change her ways. Sarah was apparently reluctant at first. According to Miss Winfrey, Sarah said:

‘Let me think about it…’ She sent me an email about how it’s so difficult to give up going to Spain this year, And I said, ‘You have no money. People who don’t have money don’t go to Spain on holiday. HELLO!!!’

Ugh. I have no respect for Sarah Ferguson and I highly doubt I will watch that crap-fest documentary. But, if you do, let me know what you think of it.

Monaco Princely Family

Charlene Wittstock’s Family Spent Christmas in Monaco. Plus More Wedding Information Released

December 26, 2010 Alexandra

The future Princess of Monaco has been all smiles since the announcement of her engagement to her longtime boyfriend, Prince Albert of Monaco. And, this week she is even happier.

According to the German magazine, Bild, Miss Wittstock’s family flew in from South Africa to spend Christmas with their daughter and fiancé in the tiny Principality. Besides her parents attendance, Miss Wittstock’s two brothers, Gareth (who actually moved to Monaco sometime ago) and Sean, were there to celebrated the holidays with their sister. How long the Wittstock family will be in Monaco is unknown at this time, but I sure hope they have fun.

Meanwhile, more information about the upcoming Princely wedding has been released. According to the Palais Princier de Monaco:

The wedding will be shot in 3D (why, I have no idea.)
The wedding will be Eco-Friendly éco-compatible including the cars and/or buses that will be used to transport guests.
Revenue, from the networks who bought the rights to air the Princely wedding, will be donated to various foundations in Monaco.
There will be a gala performance at the Monaco Opera.
Lots of booze during the wedding as well pre-wedding gala events.
Fireworks over Monaco (having a fireworks show isn’t exactly Eco-Friendly. Sounds to me like the Palais Princier de Monaco PR team are freaking confused when it comes down to Environmental issues and crap. I mean, get it right, people. Is it or is it not a Eco-Friendly wedding because if it is don’t have a damn fireworks show!)

The magazine, Point de Vue, reports that Miss Wittstock will place her bridal bouquet at the Sainte Dévote church and the state banquet, during pre-wedding events, will be held at the Musée Océanographique.

So there you have it! You are, once again, up-to-date with information regarding the upcoming Monaco Princely wedding.

British Royals

Catherine Middleton Spends Christmas With her Family in Berkshire, England Sans Prince William

December 26, 2010 Alexandra

While the members of the British royal family (minus Prince William who had to work) spent their holiday together at the Queen’s modest pad, Sandringham, Miss Catherine Middleton spent the holidays with her family at their home in Berkshire.

The paparazzi once again photographed the future Queen of England as she drove home with her family from somewhere… I don’t know where, but they went somewhere in lovely old England.

Miss Middleton was all smiles, of course, during the quick drive into her parents home (she must have received amazing presents this year thus the mega watt smile.)

Meanwhile, Catherine’s fiance (who seemed to have lost even more hair since the Mario Testino shoot last month :snicker:) was “…on call with his search-and-rescue squadron at RAF Valley on Anglesey” according to the Daily Mail.
