Princess Diana At The End

Britain’s “The Daily Mail” has published some new pics of the car accident that claimed Diana’s life. Here’s the one of her watching out the rear window as French photographers pursued her ass. Check out the driver. Reports say he might have had a few. And how the hell did the paps get this close? Were they vaulting like Evil Kenivel over the hood? Jesus. No wonder why the f*cking car crashed. Because this is Princess Diana’s tragic death we’re talking about, I’m gonna refrain from saying that Trevor Rees-Jones was/is kind of a piece. Ok, I said it, but someone else was thinking it, too. He was the only survivor, by the way.

Sources close to Mohamed Al Fayed, who claims his son and Diana were murdered in an Establishment plot, said the existence of the last picture of the couple surrounded in the front and the rear by photographers proved they were pursued to their death by the paparazzi.

They denied official claims that the picture had been taken seconds after the princess and her lover had left the Ritz Hotel and insisted it was snapped well into their journey.

The pictures were posted on an official website by coroner Lord Justice Scott Baker, to coincide with the official inquest into her death which begins today. Jesus, about time. Oh, and it began with statements that it will probably be impossible to know if Diana was pregnant or not at the time of her death. Keep reading for the details.

The Ten-Year Anniversary of Princess Diana’s Passing Commemorated

Believe it or not it, it has been ten years since the passing of Princess Diana. And to commemorate her memory, her sons organized a concert that took place over the summer. Additionally, both William and Harry spoke at a memorial service for their late mother held today. Prince Harry had this to say about Diana.

“To us, two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world. But we would say that, wouldn’t we?”

Other dignitaries were also present, intermingled with celebrities such as Bryan Adams and Elton John, at the hour-long service, which took place at Guards Chapel. Um, I think that I’ve reached my quota of jokes in poor taste for the day, so I’m going to just end this right here, with some grace and dignity. There.

Princess Diana’s Concert Not Raising Much Money For Charity

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/07/diana_concert_070207_04-thumb.jpg

Which is fine, don’t throw things at me for reporting on it. Who doesn’t like a concert? And Di was an elegant lady with a big heart. But apparently, whoever was planning this gig didn’t realize that celebrities need stroking and to hell with your charity. This benefit isn’t actually benefiting anyone. Sources are saying that the concert will be lucky if it even breaks even. I blame Fergie.

While profits from the event were initially earmarked for such worthy charities as the National Aids Trust and the UK’s Leprosy Mission, none of these charities has yet to receive a cent. In fact, organizers now acknowledge that the concert may not even cover its own costs.

Though the official website for the event lists several prominent charities and urges would-be concert goers to support them, the concert’s organizers recently told London’s Daily Mail that it is “designed principally not as a fundraising event but as a celebration of the life of Diana, Princess of Wales.” Charities listed on the official website are guaranteed nothing except the option to buy ticket packages at the face-value rate of £45 per ticket. And while the site warns about the dangers of scalpers, that seems like the only way do-gooders can make a buck.

Seriously, Fergie probably wanted 45 pairs of those $300 Mom jeans that are hot right now and make you look like you’re diapered. Blame her. She’s a creepy adult baby. Keep reading for what sources say caused the non-benefit part of the benefit.

Princess Diana’s Concert

Monday, July 2nd, 2007

http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/07/diana_concert_070107_01-thumb.jpg

The Concert for Diana was on Sunday. I missed the whole damn thing. I could have spent that time staring at Harry, the English redheaded sexual firecracker dreamboat. *swoon* Look at him, would you? Striding along in his redheadedness. *double swoon* Poor boy, he had to look at Fergie in that dress. Dayum, Fergie! He probably prefers the older Jenny Craig one to that! Anyway, Princes William and Harry held the concert to pay tribute to their Mom, whose would have turned 46 on Sunday, and to draw attention to her various charities. Elton opened it with “Your Song” and the lists of performers was long.

n between came Duran Duran, Bryan Ferry, The Feeling, Fergie, Kanye West, Sean “Diddy” Combs with “I’ll Be Missing You”, Orson, Lily Allen, crowd pleasers Take That, Pharrell Williams and Diana favourite The English National Ballet.

I love that Diana loved Duran Duran. She had great taste.

Princess Di Was Human

Princess Diana 061207

This ain’t a week for flattering portraits of icons. A new book is out by Tina Brown called “The Diana Chronicles”. Ms. Brown lets us know that Di was a bitch and f-ed around. Thanks, Tina. Way to kick the headstone over and pee on the grave. In Princess Di’s defense, she had a HOT son. Damn, that Harry is smoking. And yes, having a hot son makes up for a lot. Maybe not murder, but at least bitchery and slattern behavior. The author, a former newspaper editor, only met Di in person four or five times but apparently that was enough for a book. And she claims Diana was busy:

Brown concludes her first affair was with Barry Mannakee, her bodyguard from 1985, who was later killed in a motorcycle accident. Next was Hewitt, whose relationship with Diana initially had the tacit approval of the royals, Brown writes. Afterward came James Gilbey, related to the gin fortune, who was caught calling Diana “Squidgy” in a bugged phone conversation; art dealer Oliver Hoare (whom she harassed with anonymous phone calls); rugby player Will Carling (whose wife named Diana in divorce proceedings); surgeon Hasnat Khan, the love of her life who would not marry her because of his obligations to his Muslim family and to his profession, and Dodi Fayed, son of Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, who was just a bit of post divorce summer entertainment.

Some of those are post-divorce so I don’t know what the damn problem is. Keep reading for more on Di’s cranky side, including when she dumped Fergie (royal not “Glamorous”) for Fergie’s claim that she gave her warts.

Princess Diana’s Concert Will Host Tom Jones and P.Diddy

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

The array of artists performing for the concert commemorating the 10th anniversary of the passing of Princess Diana has just become wider. P.Diddy and Tom Jones have just signed on to take the stage at the Wembley stadium concert, set to take place July 1st. The event has been organized by her sons, William and Harry, who have taken a break from their busy party schedules (I kid!), to attract the talents of Kanye West, Elton John, Duran Duran, Lily Allen, and Joss Stone, just to name a few.

Both the princes are expected to make a stage appearance during the five-hour event.

The concert is being held on what would have been Diana’s 46th birthday.

“It’s got to be the best birthday present she ever had,” Prince William said in a statement.

This sounds like a very lovely, touching tribute indeed, celebrating the life of the late princess. However, I have to be honest, if I were somehow able to scam myself a trip to London as well as a ticket, all this memorializing would really put a damper on my desire to toss my panties up on stage during a rousing performance of “Sex Bomb.”
