TLC"s "Suddenly Royal" -- British Subjects Rise Up Against Would-Be TLC King

Z STAFF

EXCLUSIVE

David Drew Howe – the Maryland man/TLC reality star who claims he’s a direct descendant of the family that once ruled the Isle of Man — is having trouble getting allegiance from his subjects. 

TLC‘s “Suddenly Royal“ premiered this week, chronicling the journey of Howe and family as they spend 6 weeks in the self-governing British island, trying to gain control based on his lineage. 

The local parliament is scoffing British style, saying Howe “is not to be taken seriously.” The spokesperson added, “the Head of State of the Isle of Man is and remains Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.” 

Howe says he has legal claim to the throne because he placed an official notice in the London Gazette, claiming his rule and no one objected. He doesn’t want to oust the Queen, but he wants the title and the perks.

On the surface the locals think Howe’s a doofus, but we’re told on another level they’re happy the show is bringing attention, and hopefully tourists, to the island.

Valeria Lukyanova: Embarking on New DJ Career!

Human Barbie Valeria Lukyanova is embarking on a new career … as a DJ! She announced as much in a press release on her official site.

The controversial model, who aims to subsist on air and light instead of food, has baffled the Internet with her eye-popping proportions.

Not to mention her quotes. H-Barb also claimed she was sent to Earth by a spiritual leader called Amatue (we could not make that up).

Now Valeria (her “Earthly name” apparently), has her eye on bigger, better things as she kicks off her Space Barbie Tour in October.

“Valeria Lukyanova (Human Barbie) starts her DJ mission with futuristic deep house and space disco,” the press release reads.

Why should you attend? Because “she delivers pure deep meditation during her set with amazing sounds and mudras show.”

She performs in “a way that touches all the energy centers” to increase “the rhythm and [change] the consciousness of the audience.”

Her show “will resemble a fascinating musical journey into the deep space.”

Sounds even weirder than these Valeria Lukyanova photos. But tight.

The Human Barbie tour will involve stops in Latin America, the U.S., Japan, China, Australia, and several European countries.
