BenDeLaCreme eliminated herself from* RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 3* because that's what? The gag of the season. Bedtime BD herself joins the latest episode of *EW's BINGE* podcast alongside fellow *AS3* legend Kennedy Davenport to discuss the aftermath of the most shocking exit in the show's herstory.

In the episode (listen above), DeLa reveals that the "meandering path" to the decision she made to eliminate herself from the competition wasn't something she'd planned from the beginning of the competition, but rather a seemingly cosmic alignment of queen energy. For starters, she got the Wite-Out she used to write her name on one of the lipsticks from her *AS3* cast mate Thorgy Thor, and the concept to write someone else's name over an existing stick sprung from a running joke she started with eventual season winner Trixie Mattel that would've involved writing "RuPaul" or "Michelle Visage" on the tube as a prank.

"There was this moment where I was like, ok, I've really established myself, people do see me as a frontrunner, I've broken some records, if I decide I'm not going to play by these rules, no one is going to be able to say that she gave up because she couldn't do it," DeLa remembers, while Davenport confirms that other moments organically "just led up" to the big, unplanned reveal. "It was kind of this perfect thing where, in this moment, I kind of was fed up with the conflict generating with that moment with Morgan [McMichaels], I saw that I'd actually already done what I needed to do, and these little moments clicked into place.... it felt like fate."

She says she was shocked that production didn't stop her from making the choice, and she's thankful they allowed it to play out as she wished. Still, she's unsure if she would've pulled the stunt the next time she won a lip-sync if she'd lost the duel against BeBe Zahara Benet.

"Who knows? Probably not. It was a thing that was relevant to the moment. Maybe I would've, but I don't dwell on pasts that don't exist," she finishes.

Davenport insists it was a "real moment" for her, too: "I was boo-hoo crying over there, honey," she says. "You know when it's your time to go home and that was really my time to go home. Had she not went home, I do believe I probably would've gone home that episode!"

It's a "Traitors" love story.

"Real Housewives of Atlanta" veteran Phaedra Parks, 52, confirmed that she is dating "The Challenge" star CT Tamburello, 46, on a Sept. 4 episode of SiriusXM’s "Jeff Lewis Live."

After host Jeff Lewis asked the attorney and legal analyst if her relationship with Tamburello was platonic, she kept her response short and sweet: "No, it's not."

At first, she only confirmed she was seeing someone named "CT," before a radio listener phoned in to connect the dots and ask if it was her "castle daddy" from "The Traitors" Season 2, which she and Tamburello competed in.

However, she decided to keep the details of their relationship minimal, only teasing, "I can't give this to you. I've gotta save it for the world."

She later confirmed that she will be Tamburello's date to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday, Sept. 5, where he will present an award alongside his "Challenge" costar Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio, who also appeared on "Traitors."

Elsewhere in the interview, the reality star revealed she has been seeing Tamburello romantically since around the time of her last appearance on "Jeff Lewis Live," which was on Aug. 5.

How did Phaedra Parks and CT Tamburello meet?

However, the two's history goes back to Season 2 of the Emmy-winning reality competition series "The Traitors," which premiered in January 2024 and was filmed in Scotland in late 2023.

In the murder mystery, Parks competed as a traitor working with "Big Brother" alum Dan Gheesling, "Survivor" alum Parvati Shallow and "Below Deck" alum Kate Chastain to deceive and "murder" the faithful. She made it to seventh place before being banished in the penultimate episode by the remaining faithful, which included Tamburello.

"I'm voting for Phaedra," Tamburello said during Season 2 while banishing Parks at the roundtable. "I think you came here to be the opposite of who you are in real life, and I think you've been the best traitor we've seen yet."

Tamburello and fellow "Challenge" alum Trishelle Cannatella became the first two faithful players to win "The Traitors" after successfully being the last two standing.

Throughout the season, Parks and Tamburello interacted playfully, with Parks calling him her "castle daddy," prompting many fans to speculate they were flirting and others to make video edits shipping them on social media.

James Morrison was due to play at the event in Falkirk on Sunday

Singer-songwriter James Morrison and Scottish rock band The Fratellis have cancelled their Kelpies Live shows this weekend after a dispute with the event promoters.

The Glasgow trio said earlier this week that their show at Helix Park, Falkirk on Friday would not take place.

The band said the event promoters "have been unable to fulfill their commitments to the band to perform."

James Morrison's show on Sunday has also been cancelled according to promoters XFire's website.

The Kelpies Live website page for the concert shows a "page not found" message and the line-up was with Morrison and The Fratellis absent.

The organisers have made no official comment but they posted on Thursday: "For the avoidance of doubt, Beluga Lagoon is going ahead as planned this Saturday."

The promoters' website page for the event confirmed Morrison's appearance had been cancelled and said ticket holders would be contacted to "discuss arrangements."

The Scottish Sun reported that an Instagram story on Morrison's official account said the show was cancelled "due to the promoter being unable to fulfil their commitments for James to perform."

The post reportedly added: "James is very disappointed as was very much looking forward to the show but this situation is out of his control."

The Fratellis cancelled their appearance at Kelpies Live earlier this week

A statement on the Fratellis' Facebook page said: "Unfortunately the promoters have been unable to fulfill their commitments to the band to perform and they have had to therefore take the decision not to appear at the event."

The band's rescheduled shows to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album Costello Music will take place next year.

The trio were forced to cancel the original shows on the tour earlier this year due to illness.

Kelpies Live and XFire have been approached for comment.

Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, recently shared an anecdote about her mother-in-law, the late Queen Elizabeth

Prince Edward’s wife recalled that she was enthralled by the Great Britain women’s field hockey team’s gold-medal run at the 2016 Rio Olympics

Sophie recalled what happened when one high-stakes game took place during a royal family dinner at Balmoral

Family dinners are a little different when your mother-in-law is Queen Elizabeth.

During a recent interview on BBC Radio 5 with Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, the talk turned to the 10th anniversary of Great Britain’s women winning gold in field hockey at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Sophie, 61, an avid sports fan who has been the patron of England Hockey since 2006, recalled that she followed along with every game of the Olympic tournament, despite the time difference.

She ran into some bad luck, however, when the championship match between Great Britain and the defending gold medal team from the Netherlands fell during a family dinner with the Queen at Balmoral, where the royals traditionally gather in the late summer. Sophie said she tried her best to stay on the score throughout the meal — to the eventual annoyance of the monarch.

“Actually, somebody who was helping at the table who’s an avid hockey fan kept on coming in and whispering the score to me,” Sophie shared. “I was twitching, and eventually, Her Majesty sat there and said, ‘Oh, for goodness’ sake, just go!’ ”

Sophie recalled that she then “ran through to the library” to watch the rest of the game. She was even joined by her father-in-law, Prince Philip, “who loved good sport” and was entertained by Sophie “leaping up and screaming” as she cheered on the Brits.

“I think he was watching my reaction more than he was watching the television because I was literally living and breathing every moment,” Sophie said.

When the gold medal match was tied in the final moments, Sophie said she turned to find out the monarch had also made her way to the library and “was standing in the doorway watching.”

But the medal-deciding penalty shots were too much for Queen Elizabeth to take, according to her daughter-in-law.

“She couldn’t cope with pressure,” Sophie said. “She had to take herself away again.”

Ultimately, England won the penalties and earned the women’s team their first-ever Olympic gold in field hockey. Sophie recalled that she was in a “flood of tears” while Prince Phillip remained thoroughly entertained by her enthusiasm.

She and the rest of the royals seemed to be tuning in from Balmoral Castle during the family’s annual getaway to the Scottish Highlands.

The property, which sits on the River Dee in Aberdeenshire, was especially beloved by the late Queen Elizabeth, who was known to leave for Scotland in late July and not return to London until October, with other members of the family joining her for periods of her stay.

Her granddaughter Princess Eugenie said of Balmoral in the 2016 documentary Our Queen at Ninety, “I think Granny is the most happy there. I think she really, really loves the Highlands.”

Since her death at Balmoral in September 2022, the Scottish estate has remained a place of respite for the Queen’s descendants. King Charles, 77, has continued his mother’s tradition of spending some of the late summer at Balmoral since his accession. Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 44, usually visit with their three children — Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8 — as well as other royals.

“My family has deep connections there, and it was such a fun part of my childhood and upbringing,” Prince William told Country Lifein 2018.

NEW YORK (AP) — Pretty much everyone on stage at the Metropolitan Opera in New York must audition — even the snake who will briefly take center stage in an upcoming adaptation of a Mozart classic.

In charge of deciding who gets the s-s-s-s-starring reptilian role is Zoe Ziegfeld, a carnival performer-turned-opera actor cast as the snake handler in the Met's version of “Così fan tutte," inspired by Coney Island in the 1950s.

Ziegfeld takes each snake, lets it slither and wrap around, then hoists the animal over their head, rehearsing what they will do under the bright lights at center stage for each performance. Ziegfeld looks each one in the eye, almost face-to-face as they evaluate the snake's demeanor.

“I that the animal is comfortable with people and with what we are doing,” Ziegfeld said.

Princess slithers into her big role

In the cold-blooded competition, a boa constrictor named Princess won. She is a larger snake with a better visual presence on stage.

“We will be moving forward with Princess (the big sun-glow boa constrictor who is yellow-peach) in rehearsals on a trial basis! She is a wonderful snake, and the trial is not about her, but rather about me and my strength," Ziegfeld wrote in an email after the auditions were over.

A slightly smaller brown boa constrictor named Nala from a second audition will be Princess' understudy.

A Mozart opera set at a 1950s Coney Island carnival

This is the third time Ziegfeld has played the role of the snake charmer in the Met's adaptation of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 1790 opera.

In Mozart’s original, two Italian soldiers decide to test their lovers’ fidelity by pretending to head off to war. They then disguise themselves and try to seduce each other’s girlfriends. In this version, the plot remains mostly the same, but the setting is a 1950s Coney Island carnival complete with vibrant scenery and sideshow performers.

Carnaval snake charmer turned opera performer

Ziegfeld came to the role honestly. They spent a couple of seasons on Coney Island doing eight snake-charming shows a day.

When they tried out several years ago, live snakes weren’t allowed in the audition space. So instead, Ziegfeld brought video of their snake-charming act, then hammered home their carnival sideshow bona fides by knocking a nail into their own nasal cavity in what was called the Human Blockhead act.

“The music’s different. The money is different. It’s a pleasure to entertain. And with snakes, it’s a delight to know that there are people watching who are in awe and people who are terrified. And those things happen at the Met and at Coney — so I would say they are more alike than different, to be honest,” Ziegfeld said.

Animals are important characters at some Met operas

The snakes came to their audition thanks to Nancy Novograd and her company All Tame Animals.

She got into the business when her horse appeared onstage at the Met in a production of “Carmen,” and now she provides the opera house with everything from elephants to insects.

The first two snakes to audition were a bit small. One might have clashed with Ziegfeld's top. But the key is personality, Novograd said.

“Animals have to perform as do human talent. Sometimes they have a set type of behaviors that they have to demonstrate. And sometimes they just have to get along with the talent," Novograd said. “So in this case, they have to be the right color, size, and Zoe has to like them.”

Princess Kate has been open about how she wants to raise her three kids.MEGA

Princess Kate has established a firm set of family rules for raising her three children – putting kindness, honesty and emotional security ahead of royal status or academic achievement, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The Princess of Wales, 44, and Prince William, 44, are raising Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, eight, with an emphasis on giving them as ordinary an upbringing as their extraordinary circumstances permit, experts have said.

Inside Princess Kate's Strict Royal Parenting Rules

Princess Kate prioritizes kindness, honesty, and emotional security over status.MEGA

At home, Kate has sought to ensure the pressures surrounding their future royal roles do not eclipse the values she considers essential.

Kate has previously explained that the principles she learned from her own parents remain at the heart of her approach to motherhood.

She said: "My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect and honesty and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life."

The mother-of-three added: "That is why William and I want to teach our little children... just how important these things are as they grow up."

Why Emotional Support Beats Royal Privilege

The princess shares three kids, George, Charlotte, and Louis, with Prince William.MEGA

For Kate, those qualities are not secondary to conventional measures of childhood success.

She said: "In my view, it is just as important as excelling at maths or sport."

Another central rule is ensuring George, Charlotte and Louis receive emotional support rather than simply material opportunities that come with their privileged upbringing.

Discussing parenting with radio host Roman Kemp in 2023, Kate said: "It's not about the number of toys they've got or the number or sort of trips that you go on with them."

She added: "It's just making sure that they've got the right emotional support around them, and that comes from the adults in their lives."

Prince William's Fight For a Normal Family Life

Prince William insists their household operates as a normal family unit.MEGA

William has similarly emphasized the importance of maintaining an ordinary family dynamic behind palace doors.

Speaking in 2016, he said: "As far as we are concerned within our family unit, we are a normal family."

He added: "I love my children in the same way any father does, and I hope George loves me the same way any son does his father. We are very normal in that sense."

The couple's approach extends to practical parenting.

William and Kate have regularly taken their children to school and attended their activities, while carefully controlling their exposure to official royal engagements and photographers.

Kate has also acknowledged that modern technology presents a challenge previous generations of royal parents did not face.

During a visit to the University of East London's Institute of the Science of Early Years and Youth, she discussed the difficulty parents face trying to "keep up in real-time" with social media alongside rapidly developing scientific and medical knowledge.

The Secret to Raising Well-Rounded Royals

Princess Kate ensures her children feel secure enough to talk openly.MEGA

The visit formed part of Kate's continuing work through her Centre for Early Childhood, founded in 2021, which focuses on the importance of children's earliest years.

Kate has repeatedly emphasized that parents cannot provide that foundation alone, championing the traditional principle it "takes a village" to raise a child.

A royal source told us about the future Queen's parenting approach: "Kate has certain rules about family life that she simply will not compromise on. The children might be growing up knowing they belong to the royal family, but inside their home the emphasis is on kindness, manners, honesty and treating other people properly. Titles and privilege do not excuse bad behavior.

"Kate is determined that George, Charlotte and Louis understand there is far more to becoming well-rounded adults than getting good grades or performing royal duties. She wants them to feel listened to and secure enough to talk openly when something is troubling them."

They noted, "William is completely behind that approach. They want home to remain the children's safe place, where they can laugh, make mistakes, and be a family. There are boundaries and expectations, but Kate believes emotional security has to come before preparing them for their future royal responsibilities."
