Kate Middleton: (British) Vogue Cover Girl!


Anna Wintour has tried sohard to land the Duchess of Cambridge on the cover of American Vogue.


Instead, Her Royal Highness chose to mark the collaboration between the National Portrait Gallery and British Vogue, celebrating the magazine"s 100th anniversary.


Catherine posed for ten portraits, available when the issue hits newsstands on May 5th.  Two of them, shot by photographer Josh Olins, are currently on display at the gallery, of which HRH is a patron.


This is Catherine"s first-ever magazine cover; she follows in the footsteps of the Princess of Wales, Princess Anne and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

Rumor has it that American Vogue editor-in-chief has been trying relentlessly to land Catherine as a cover girl since 2011. “Anna has been speaking to Mario [Testino] about winning over Kate,” a source told Page Six that year. “She is really pressing him to shoot Kate for the cover.”

Michael Strahan is the One Who Sucks, New Report Alleges

Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan won the Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday night for Best Entertainment Talk Show for their work on Live! With Kelly and Michael.


But neither was on hand to receive the trophy.



You really need to ask why, do you?


Ripa and Strahan have dominated all television headlines over the past two weeks, following Strahan’s announcement that he is moving full-time to Good Morning America.


This was followed by Ripa skipping a couple days of work out of protest… returning and telling the world that she deserved “respect” in the work place… and ABC then moving up Strahan’s departure date by four months.


Since then, the stars have worked together on screen.


But let’s just say it’s been a bit awkward at times:



Who is at fault for the dissolution of this partnership?


A previous report outlined how Kelly Ripa is a demanding diva, but Page Six now writes that Strahan became very hard to work with over the years.


“When he had first agreed to go on ‘GMA,’ she said, ‘Watch what’s going to happen,"” an insider says of Ripa’s reaction to Strahan appearing twice per week on that program.


“She knew that when he started doing that, [leaving ‘Live’] would be his goal.”


Indeed, the newspaper source alleges that Ripa took issue with Strahan’s lack of commitment to their show; while Strahan was unhappy over being Ripa’s lesser paid sidekick.


According to multiple outlets, Kelly makes around $ 20 million per year and Strahan makes around $ 4 million per year.


This scathing exclusive claims Strahan would “show up late to tapings” and annoy folks backstage with his entourage.


Yes, Strahan was very charismatic on camera, but “when he doesn’t need to be on, he shuts down and can be selfish,” according to someone supposedly in the know.


Strahan also allegedly butted heads with producer Michael Gelman very often.


“She really loves the show,” an insider says of Ripa. “She knows how lucky she is to have it. For him, it’s a temporary home and this was clear to the people who were working there.”


As a result of the tension between co-hosts, Ripa started to “freeze [Strahan] out,” Page Six writes.


The former football great is reportedly receiving a raise to eight figures to be a permanent fixture on GMA.


However…


“He’s walking into a propeller,” Andy Cohen warns.


“He’s strong but he better watch out, because the knives are out and all the different stars are positioning themselves to attack. I hope he’s ready.”
