It was Kate Middleton ’s year: The newly minted Duchess won the heart of both Prince William and the world, with her easy grace and shiny — so shiny! — hair. She was runner-up for Time Magazine’s Person of the year (“The Protester” won), and was recently named 2011’s best-mannered person (The worst? Kim Kardashian.) Her uterus even made our year-end list of what’s in and out , replacing her sister Pippa’s posterior as the royal body part fueling national speculation. Read full article > >

Kristen Wiig has been named GQ’s Bro of the Year in the magazine’s annual salute to men. As part of what seems like a requirement for females appearing in the men’s magazine, the “Bridesmaids” star and co-writer posed in lingerie while making (an ironic?) pouty face. In addition to the half-naked photo shoot, Wiig was honored for co-creating the highest-earning R-rated female comedy of all time that appealed to both men and women with a glowing blurb written by “Mad Men’s” Jon Hamm.

Miss France, Laury Thilleman, is offering some nasty, sore loser, sour grapes, culturally imperious comments about Miss Angola, Leila Lopes, who just won the 2011 Miss Universe pageant . The French magazine Premiere.fr reports that Miss France, a top 10 finalist in the competition, made the comments during a telephone interview with the magazine. She said the win surprised her (actually she said all the contestants were surprised) and noted that Miss Angola hardly ever wore makeup and she often wore jeans. And she was reserved and lacking in personality. Oh, and the fact that the contest was held in Brazil played a role — the implication being that Angola is a former Portuguese colony like Brazil. (If that’s the case then why didn’t they just elect Miss Brazil!? ) Read full article > >

Glen Campbell is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, the singer revealed to People . Campbell’s wife Kim said they have gone public with the diagnosis ahead of the country legend’s farewell tour set for this fall. “Glen is still an awesome guitar player and singer,” she told the magazine. “But if he flubs a lyric or gets confused on stage, I wouldn’t want people to think, ‘What’s the matter with him? Is he drunk?’ ” That could be a real concern for the country legend, who was sentenced to 10 days in jail for extreme drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident in 2004.

This blows away Time ‘s cover when “You” were named Person of the Year. That flimsy piece of reflective paper meant to function as a mirror was a gimmick that helped to move copies of the magazine off the newsstand. The cover of the latest issue of Wired UK is much more personalized. It’s so personalized, in fact, that it may be scaring some subscribers, who have been told everything from where they live to when they last had a rendezvous with an ex. Titled ‘Your Life Torn Open’, I was asked if everything was well at Channel 4 News. Told at my next birthday I will be 29. So far fine, as I know that’s on my public Facebook profile. But Wired also knew I just moved house (with the exact address of my last property). It printed that my parents had just moved too (with both addresses). Using Companies House data it published how many shares I own in Pink Unlimited, the parent company of PinkNews.co.uk . But then Wired knew I had a meeting with my ex-boyfriend Adam on the 6th January! As I showed the magazine to a colleague, I racked my brain to what happened on the 6th January that could have allowed Wired to know that. Had we both attended an event that was organised on Facebook? Then I remembered, I had mentioned on Twitter that I was meeting my ex. I also tweeted that it went ok. At the time I thought nothing of it because Adam isn’t on Twitter, so in a sense it was a ‘private’ message to the six thousand or so people who follow me. What’s shocking though is seeing all of this printed in black and white (or yellow in this case). Everything was available from Facebook, Twitter, Company House and the Land Registry but it shows the information is so readily available. It also shows how powerful these resources can be for private detectives or government agents. Read the full story at Channel 4 News .
