I’m hearing whispers that Peregrine Pearson, the eldest son and future heir to a prominent family, might be back together with actress Sophie Turner of Game of Thrones fame. It seems their connection could be reignited!
Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray, was known for having many romantic interests when he was younger, including actress Minah Bird and Miranda Quarry (who was previously married to Peter Sellers). Now, at age 82, he’s proving he still has plenty of energy and charisma – just as much as someone 31 years old, like ‘Perry’.
After previously dating Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece for about two years, Perry began a relationship with actress Sophie shortly after her split from singer Joe Jonas in 2024.
I hear Cowdray is quickly moving forward with a new actress, someone previously recognized with Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. She’s appeared in movies with acting legends like Sir Michael Caine and comedic icon Steve Martin—and was even married to him at one point.
According to a friend, Michael Douglas is dating Victoria Tennant. Victoria, age 75, was married to Martin Sheen since 1986, after they met on the set of the film ‘All Of Me’. She was reportedly going to join Michael at the Cowdray Gold Cup polo final last Sunday, a major event held each year on the Cowdray estate in West Sussex.
Both she and Michael couldn’t make it, apparently due to some unexpected bad luck. A friend explained that Michael broke his arm over the weekend, and Victoria became ill. They were planning on publicly acknowledging their relationship at this event.
Mr. Cowdray hasn’t offered any official statement. However, those close to him are happy to see signs that he’s finding peace and happiness after a difficult period.
I revealed in the summer of 2023 that his second wife, Marina, had left him after 37 years of marriage and raising five children. She found support with her chiropractor, and friends said the separation was very bitter.
Last year felt more cheerful, especially when I shared that Michael had become close to Philippa Devas – a striking blonde seventeen years younger than him. She worked as both an interior designer and a psychotherapist.
Michael’s previous relationship didn’t last, so hopefully he’ll find success with Victoria. However, there might be a complication – Victoria is reportedly still married to her husband, Kirk Stambler, an American lawyer, and they have two children together. I haven’t been able to get a response from Mr. Stambler.
(Very) modern manners
Model and businesswoman Caprice Bourret isn’t hesitant about trying bold beauty treatments. The 54-year-old Californian says a CO2 fractional laser treatment was life-changing. This procedure uses lasers to remove the top layer of skin and costs over £3,000.
‘It is amazing,’ Caprice says. ‘You look like a monster for a week, but I don’t care.
Expect to be red for around a month. It tightens skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles – it really delivers noticeable results!
‘They say it lasts for five years. The results will astound you.’
Lipman: I’m now Team Kemi
For many years, Dame Maureen Lipman was a strong supporter of the Labour party. However, she has announced she will be voting Conservative in the upcoming election, and is backing Kemi Badenoch – marking the first time she’s voted for the Conservatives.
The 80-year-old actress previously disagreed with Labour’s leadership under both Ed Miliband and Jeremy Corbyn, but it wasn’t clear which party she supported. Now, she states she will be voting Conservative for the first time ever, backing Kemi Badenoch, whom she describes as ‘amazing’ and a truthful politician. She also praises Badenoch for effectively challenging Keir Starmer during his time as Labour leader, noting her ability to speak powerfully.
‘She’s attractive, she’s thoughtful, she’s intelligent. I like her.’
This week, Prince Harry shared his thoughts on England’s soccer match against Argentina, suggesting their approach changed for the worse after scoring the first goal.
He has, however, previously admitted that he ‘hates’ the beautiful game.
During a recent episode of the popular YouTube show Palace Confidential, Daily Mail Royal Editor Rebecca English shared details about comments Prince Harry made while in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.
She mentioned that he’s not a fan of football. Apparently, her coworker was surprised to hear him constantly criticizing the sport and its players during their recent trip.
‘using lasers to remove the entire surface layer of the skin.’
She explained that people were shocked by his lack of sensitivity while representing the team during the World Cup.
‘So it did surprise me to see him suddenly putting himself out there as a No1 football fan.’
Kirstie wades in to noise row
Just as I mentioned that La Famiglia, a favorite restaurant of Princess Diana, was facing trouble due to a single complaint about noise from its garden, Kirstie Allsopp quickly stepped in to defend it.
The presenter explained that a lot of local council time is being wasted by disruptive individuals. Kirstie added that many London streets lack pubs or restaurants, pointing out the irony of someone objecting to La Famiglia who then chose to live right next door. Kirstie and her husband, Ben Andersen, know this firsthand. When they renovated a pub in West London, The Latimer, the couple running it were visited by council officers at 6 a.m.
Kirstie scoffed, recounting how someone had incorrectly claimed they didn’t have a parking permit for residents. ‘It was unbelievable,’ she said.
The smart set’s talking about… Sir Sandy’s return to duty
Most retired soldiers don’t anticipate returning to active duty in their seventies, but Colonel Sir Sandy Malcolm is proving that age doesn’t have to be a barrier.
For those friends of the baronet who will turn seventy next month, and might worry he’s being sent to a dangerous place like Tehran, I want to assure them he’s actually returning to the Turf Club. This is a very lively and exclusive gentlemen’s club, with members including the Dukes of Rutland and Beaufort, the Marquess of Bristol, and many other earls.
Sir Sandy recently retired as the club secretary and received a farewell party honoring his years of service, both at the club and his earlier time as a young officer with the Welsh Guards in South Armagh. Apparently, his replacement wasn’t successful, so Sir Sandy has agreed to temporarily return to his position. The Turf Club has not made any official statement.
Millie heals her heart in bikini break
Millie Mackintosh, who recently separated from her husband Hugo Taylor after seven years of marriage, is reportedly joining a new dating show on Disney+.
Based on her vacation photos, it looks like she’ll easily find someone interested in dating her.
Thirty-six-year-old Millie, a mother of two daughters with her husband, Hugo, 40, was photographed on a hotel balcony in Crete while wearing a white bikini.
She credits a recent vacation with helping her recover from heartbreak, explaining that it allowed her to have peaceful mornings and time to reflect.
TV Laura sees Costa tragedy
Laura Hamilton, the upbeat host of the TV show ‘A Place in the Sun’ which features British property hunters looking for Spanish holiday homes, recently experienced a frightening incident while in Spain.
The 44-year-old TV personality shared that they witnessed a heartbreaking event yesterday: the death of a 19-year-old on the beach. They explained that after finishing filming, they went to the beach and found it filled with activity and distress.
Doctors attempted to revive him, but unfortunately he died. It’s impossible to fathom how heartbroken his family must be right now.
‘Be really mindful of currents [when] going into the sea.’
Okay, so this is totally wild! Apparently, Bernie Ecclestone’s son-in-law, Sam Palmer, is doing this thing where he deliberately gives kids who visit his house things like milk and bread, even when their parents have specifically told him they’re allergic or intolerant! I mean, can you believe it? It’s just… shocking! Like, he knows they can’t have it, and he still gives it to them! I’m absolutely floored. It’s a bit scary, honestly. I’ve been following this story obsessively, and it’s just… unbelievable!
James Stunt, husband of Petra Ecclestone, says he’s often given food containing gluten and lactose to children who were supposedly intolerant, and they haven’t had any reactions.
The estate agent concedes: ‘Now, fish and nut allergies, I’ll grant you, they’re an actual thing.’
He adds: ‘Give your kids a bit of milk, bit of bread, they’re gonna be OK.’
LA rock chick Suki looks forward to a riverside retirement
Suki Waterhouse recently performed in Los Angeles, where she’s lived with her fiancé, actor Robert Pattinson, for several years. However, the 34-year-old singer and actress says she doesn’t envision making the US her permanent home.
Suki says she plans to move back to London eventually, likely near her childhood home in Chiswick. She shares a two-year-old daughter with her partner, a 40-year-old actor who also grew up in west London.
Suki explains that she knows this stage of life doesn’t last forever. Having a young baby allows for a lot of freedom and movement, and both she and her partner are currently very busy with their own lives.
I’m already looking ahead, realizing this won’t last forever, and imagining myself returning to live near the River Thames.
Baldrick’s girl knocks ’em dead with new thriller
Sir Tony Robinson, known for his role in Blackadder, has a daughter, Laura Shepherd-Robinson, who is a successful author. Her new detective novel has been snapped up by A24, the Hollywood studio behind many Oscar-winning films, after a competitive bidding process involving twenty different production companies. It’s a huge deal that would have been a dream come true for Baldrick, a character from Blackadder.
We Are The Dead opens with a shocking crime: a murder by beheading inside the Tower of London—the first in three centuries. The story introduces Commander Bronte Hayes, who leads a specialized investigation team within the Metropolitan Police.
Penguin Transworld won the rights to publish a three-book series by Shepherd-Robinson after a competitive auction involving sixteen publishers. The first book is scheduled for release next spring. Shepherd-Robinson explains that the story has been developing for years, combining their interest in history, current issues, and compelling crime fiction.
