ROYAL, MUSIC & STAGE GOSSIP...

MEGHAN MARKLE’S TATLER COVER… The Duchess of Sussex, is set to appear on the front cover of British magazine Tatler this month. Inside ‘the Meghan issue’ will feature the results of a poll on the country’s opinion on the former Suits actress as well as pieces from four writers giving their two cents on Meghan. Meghan recently spoke out about feeling ‘not okay’ regarding the treatment of her by the press since marrying Prince Harry. We wonder what the Queen will be making of all this press attention…

ADELE’S INCREDIBLE WEIGHT LOSS… The British singer, 31, who has set the world alight thanks to her newly-svelte frame. Joe wicks has helped the newly single star shed 3 stone in weight… As well as the social media star, Adele has also reportedly sought assistance from celebrity trainer Dalton Wong, who has worked with the likes of Jennifer Lawrence. “I used to drink ten cups a day with two sugars in each so I was on 20 sugars a day,” she told The Sun. “Now I don’t drink it and I have more energy than ever.” A source also recently told The Sun that since splitting from husband Simon Konecki back in April she has been focusing on being healthy and happy.

PETER ANDRE’S THRILLING NEWS… HO,HO,HO Chistmas has come early folks! The great Perer Andre is set to take on the lead role in Thriller the Muscial! Pete will make a special 12-night guest appearance from December 10th-22nd at West End’s Lyric Theatre. He will become the first in a series of guest stars that mark the show’s final six months at the theatre before ending its record-breaking 11-year run on 26th April 2020 to allow the venue to be refurbished.

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS CELEB DIVA DEMANDS! MAKING A MOVIE OR A MUSIC ALBUM CAN BE A VERY STRESSFUL UNDERTAKING APPARENTLY. SOMETIMES PEOPLE LOSE THEIR TEMPER BUT YOU MAY WANT TO THINK TWICE BEFORE WORKING WITH THIS LIST ARTISTES…

JUSTIN BIEBER...He is well known for attacking fans, paparazi and storm-

ing off stage mid show with the hump, but his demands are only getting worse on one part of a World tour had two five-star hotels on reserve, a female masseuse flown in, 13 rooms backstage at each venue, half a gallon of almond milk, a convoy of 10 luxury sedans, two Volvo buses, a private jet & chopper and chef-prepped meals.

TOM CRUISE...In 2012, the star asked the

Forza Mare hotel in Montenegro to clear out its guests so he could eat dinner in peace.

The manager refused, so he ordered a seafood platter to his yacht instead.

MARIAH CAREY...The songbird herself is notorious for her DIVA behavior. She, once insisted she didn’t “do stairs”. Her demands include baskets of puppies and kittens and she has a special attendant to dispose of her gum!

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS BEYONCE… She apparently tells her staff to wear 100% cotton, her water is chilled to 21ºF and served through £700 titanium straws, and she has access to hand-carved ice balls after every show to cool her throat.

CELEB DIVA DEMANDS! CONTINUED...

MADONNA…

After a gig in Portugal, the Material Girl, 60, had her dressing room stripped of DNA by a sterilisation team. Yep, we definitely don’t need more Madonnas. Other demands include: Her dressing rooms... The singers flowers be cut to exactly six inches in height and has asked for 20 international phone lines at her disposal. All fabric in her quarters must be fragranced with pink roses and lilies and all furniture must be removed from the rooms and replaced with Madonna’s own pieces which she’ll have shipped in.

GWYNETH PALTROW… Among her most ridiculous demands, Paltrow requires that someone dry the shower at the gym before she uses it so she doesn’t have to come in contact with the previous person’s water.

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS

KANYE WEST…

CELEB DIVA DEMANDS! CONTINUED...

Had a VERY LONG list of his demands when he performed on Later with Jools Holland in 2013, one of the most ridiculous though was that he allegedly asked for the carpet to be ironed, as it was too bumpy.

RUSSELL CROWE… He has made quite a name for himself with his drunken fights, threatening to kill movie producers during phone calls in the middle of the night, and insulting people on Twitter. He also angered George Clooney after he criticised his appearances in TV commercials, calling him a sellout.

Clooney replied: “Dude, the only people who succeed when two famous people are fighting is People magazine. What is wrong with you?”

P DIDDY…This is just the list of stuff he

requires in his dressing room... 204 towels. 20 bars of soap. Two bottles of Hennessy cognac. Two bottles of Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. Two bottles of Veuve Clicquot. A bottle of Dom Perignon. Grey Goose vodka.

Boom box. Bouquet of white flowers. Cheddar cheese and sour-cream chips. Sweet Tarts.

And a $300,000 bullet-proof Maybach. OMG...

Life from a different perspective…

A boat docked in a tiny seaside village. A businessman tourist complimented the local fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. "Not very long," answered the fisherman. "But then, why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?" asked the businessman. The fisherman explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet his needs and those of his family. The businessman asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?" "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, and take a siesta with my wife. In the evenings, I go into the village to see my friends, play the guitar, and sing a few songs... I have a full life." The businessman interrupted, "I have an MBA from Harvard, and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat." "And after that?" asked the fisherman. Then the businessman replied… "With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers. Instead of selling your fish to a middleman, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to the city, Los Angeles, or even New York City! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise." "How long would that take?" asked the fisherman. “Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years," replied the businessman. "And after that?" “Afterwards?

Well my Friend, That's when it gets really interesting," answered the businessman, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start selling stocks and make millions!" "Millions? Really? And after that?" said the fisherman."After that you'll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings doing what you like and enjoying your friends."

MEDICAL MAYHEM

NEW WILL TO LIVE...

An elderly gentleman named Morris had had considerable hearing problems for a number of years. Naturally, Morris went to his doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that enabled Morris to hear perfectly. Morris returned in a month to the doctor for his check up and was told, 'Morris, your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'

Morris grinned, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times, already.'

MARTIN GOES TO THE DENTIST...

Martin and his wife Debbie walk into a dentist's office. Martin says to the dentist, "Doc, I'm in one heck of a hurry I have three buddies sitting out in my car waiting for us to play golf, so forget about the anaesthetic, I don't have time for the gums to get numb. I just want you to pull the tooth, and be done with it! Today is Friday and we have a 10:00 AM tee time at the best golf course in town and it's 9:15 already... ". The dentist thought to himself, "My goodness, this is surely a very brave man asking to have a tooth pulled without using anything to kill the pain." So the dentist asks Martin, "Which tooth is it sir?"

Martin turned to his wife and said, "Open your mouth and show him dear......."

13 TOP SUPERFOODS TRENDING IN 2019

CONTIUED FROM LAST MONTH...DO KALE AND QUINOA FEEL LIKE LAST YEAR’S FADS? Then it’s likely time for some new superfoods to find the spotlight. The healthy foods considered trendy change every few years, and these fads determine what winds up on store shelves (and in your smoothie)! If you’re curious which superfoods are going to catch attention in 2019, we’ve predicted some of the superfoods that are going to become trendy this year.

7) CASSAVA FLOUR

This flour isn’t especially popular at the moment, but that should start to change in 2019. Cassava flour contains a resistant starch that feeds your gut bacteria and naturally boosts digestive health while keeping inflammation levels low. This unassuming plant also keeps you satiated and helps to control blood pressure. Best of all, it has a light, neutral flavour that makes it an ideal flour substitute for almost any baking recipe.

8) INDIAN GOOSEBERRIES

13) AVOCADO OIL

The avocado is an unusual fruit.

Unlike most fruits, it's rich in healthy fats and is often used to produce oil.

While avocado oil is not as well known as olive oil, it's just as delicious. This plant-based oil is a great source of antioxidants, and it contains lower levels of saturated fats than other varieties. Using avocado oil for cooking will fill your meals with heart-healthy fats that lower bad cholesterol levels and keep your skin looking its best.

OBESITY...

It's a common problem its estimated to affect around 1 in every 4 adults and around 1 in every 5 children aged 10 to 11 in the UK and Spain. Obesity can cause a number of further problems, including difficulties with daily activities and serious health conditions. Obesity is generally caused by consuming more calories, particularly those in fatty and sugary foods, than you burn off through physical activity. The excess energy is stored by the body as fat. Obesity is an increasingly common problem because for many people modern living involves eating excessive amounts of cheap high-calorie food and spending a lot of time sitting down at desks, on sofas or in cars.

HOW TO TELL IF YOU ARE OBESE:

The most widely used method to check if you're a healthy weight is body mass index (BMI). BMI is a measure of whether you're a healthy weight for your height. You can use the BMI healthy weight calculator onlineto work out your score. For most adults, a BMI of:

18.5 to 24.9 means you're a healthy weight 25 to 29.9 means you're overweight 30 to 39.9 means you're obese 40 or above means you're severely obese

BMI is not used to diagnose obesity because people who are very muscular can have a high BMI without much fat. But for most people, BMI is a useful indication of whether they're a healthy weight. A better measure of excess fat is waist size, which can be used as an additional measure in people who are overweight (with a BMI of 25 to 29.9) or moderately obese (with a BMI of 30 to 34.9). Generally, men with a waist size of 94cm or more and women with a waist size of 80cm or more are more likely to develop obesity-related health problems.

TREATING OBESITY:

THE OUTLOOK:

The best way to treat obesity is to eat a healthy reduced-calorie diet and exercise regularly. To do this, you should: •Eat a balanced calorie-controlled diet as recommended by a GP or weight loss management health professional (such as a dietitian) •Join a local weight loss group •Take up activities such as fast walking, jogging, swimming or tennis for 150 to 300 minutes (2.5 to 5 hours) a week •Eat slowly and avoid situations where you know you could be tempted to overeat •You may also benefit from receiving psychological support from a trained healthcare professional to help change the way you think about food and eating.

There's no quick fix for obesity. Weight loss programmes take time and commitment, and work best when fully completed. The healthcare professionals involved with your care should provide encouragement and advice about how to maintain the weight loss achieved. Regularly monitoring your weight, setting realistic goals, and involving your friends and family with your attempts to lose weight can also help.

Remember that even losing what seems like a small amount of weight, such as 3% or more of your original body weight, and maintaining this for life, can significantly reduce your risk of developing obesity-related complications like diabetes and heart disease.

Subsequent treatment (impressions, fitting the post and crown) require no local anaesthetic.

This very gentle procedure allows placement of implants without the need for building new bone in most cases.

If bone augmentation is required this can be done in almost all cases WITHOUT CUTTING THE GUMS.

HAPPY 50TH ITALDESIGN!

Italdesign started by Giorgetto Giugiaro have penned some of the most popular cars ever including the MK1 Golf, The Alfasud, and many a Fiat including the Panda and The Uno, turns 50 years old this month. We look at some of their more exciting designs.

The Manta was the first concept car designed by Giugiaro as head of his own carrozzeria, just 40 days after the incorporation of Italdesign, it had a 400bhp Chevrolet V8 that could take the car past 200mph.

The DeLoreon project started in 1974 and the first cars were sold in 1981, but by the end of 1982 it was all over, with just 8583 cars built. Each one featured stainless steel panels, a 2849cc V6 engine and either a five-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission.

It's not easy improving on the looks of the Aston Martin DB7 Vantage, this one-off that made its debut at the 2001 Geneva salon with a body made from extruded aluminium, plastic and carbon fibre with power for the fully functioning prototype provided by a 6.0litre V12.

When BMW decided to enter the midengined supercar arena it knew exactly who to go to for the design. The initial plan was for Italdesign to do the styling and be built by Lamborghini. But when Lamborghini went bust Italdesign undertook the construction.

Just 453 examples were made, each powered by a 3453cc straight-six. In turbocharged racing they produced 850bhp.

60

The Bugatti Chiron packs a near-1500bhp punch, but the original concept from 1999 had a 6.3-litre W18 engine. With just 547bhp, and It could manage 205mph and 0-100kph took 5.3 seconds.

Capricorn, Venus moves into your sign early in November 2019 and your whole personality is more openly warm. You have a great need to relate well to others at this time so are willing to compromise in order to maintain harmony, making a favourable impression on everybody. Jupiter in Scorpio suggests that your friends will be of considerable benefit to you and that you will probably get more involved in-group activity. In fact, friends and the New Moon go hand in hand here on the 2nd of the month maybe a new group activity is on the menu this month.

Your have strong ideals where your life needs to be going and this month sees your hopes and wishes for the future coming to fruition. Play your cards right now and you will see a very important change happening in your life during this year.

Aquarius, while Mars remains retrograde in Taurus this month, your plans for home and family seem to be on hold, although the Full Moon later in the month heralds some sort of resolution here, which helps to dispel some of the tension. But before that, the New Moon joins Jupiter in the area of your chart connected with your career, professional life or public persona suggesting that the world will begin to see you in a different light very shortly. Jupiter’s influence during the coming year will help you to get ahead in whatever you attempt. At this time you’ll be likely to receive recognition for what you have accomplished maybe a promotion at work or the esteem of your colleagues. The auspicious alignment between Jupiter and Uranus, at the end of the month promises beneficial changes that could affect your financial position.

Picses, the New Moon at the beginning of the month occurs in the area of your chart connected with a widening of your understanding of life and of the world in general, denoting an opportunity to try something new in the form of travel, languages, education or even philosophy. Jupiter is also in this area for the coming year, bringing many opportunities for you to widen your experience and your knowledge. So it is perhaps no coincidence that Uranus in your sign aligns with Jupiter at the end of the Novermber 2019, presenting you with new horizons and suggesting the onset of beneficial changes in your personal life. Your whole life is beginning to open up, so is it any wonder that you become impatient with the old routine?

Aries, whether you are in a relationship or single, you exude a special kind of charm this month. The Sunshine’s it’s light on your relationships this November so the magic of love will return to you. If you are single you are looking for people with whom you can have a deep connection. After November 26th, Venus transits your sign and love may blossom at work.

Between November 23rd and 25th, the conjunction between Venus and Jupiter brings luck in money-related matters and in love. Being wise about using your gifts and dealing first and foremost with paying off debt or setting up a savings account. Otherwise, your luck may prove to be short-lived. Don’t act erratically or waste your resources! Your health is key this month you’ll do particularly well with diets or detoxification. The energy of the planets supports you.

Taurus, Mars remains retrograde in your sign and although you have probably been very busy lately, you won’t have quite your usual zest for life until Mars turns directly in your sign again. So it will help that Venus, your ruler, is moving into the area of your chart connected with travelling, or a broadening of your general horizons, indicates that this is a good time for a holiday. In fact, it is a good time to meet people from different walks of life. And during the coming year, with Jupiter moving through the partnership area of your chart, you will have opportunities to experience personal growth through your close relationships. It is no coincidence that the New Moon here on November 2nd 2019 heralds new beginnings for you in this area of your life.

Gemini, while Mercury, your ruler, remains in the area of your chart connected with partnerships, or close relationships, you have a chance for open discussion, which can bring about a new understanding between you and your other half. Do this before mid-November, as Mercury turns retrograde then. Jupiter is transitting the area of your chart connected with your workplace or your health and diet, you will have opportunities, during the coming year, to improve these areas of your life. In fact, the New Moon on November 2nd suggests that this is a very good time for a new beginning in some way. Perhaps a new job, or a new area of responsibility in your current workplace, maybe a change health or diet. Whatever it is, this will lead to a new feeling of vigour and happiness in your life.

Cancer, Venus is about to move into Capricorn and this is one of the best positions for you where your close relationships are concerned. It is a time when you can achieve harmony with everyone you come into contact with. You are able to express your affection more easily with those close to you and by understanding the needs of partners, whether this is a personal or business relationship, you can promote maximum co-operation between you. And along with this, at the start of the November the New Moon suggests that you may develop a new creative venture, or even a new romance if you wish. Since Jupiter has also moved into this area of your chart, you can expect opportunities for creativity in all its forms. Maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking about starting a family? Children may feature more largely in your life in some way during the coming year.

Leo, Mars is currently in retrograde connected with your career and your public persona, whilst you remain at your most ambitious, somehow it seems hard going and you are probably not achieving the results you seek at the moment. The effort you are putting into your objectives will pay off in the longer term, however. In fact, as Venus moves into Capricorn this month, relations with work colleagues become easier and all matters relating to your work or profession should improve. Meanwhile, the New Moon joins Jupiter in Scorpio and suggests that you may make a new beginning in some way where your home or family is concerned. Through the coming year there will be opportunities for growth in this area of your life, which could mean anything from an expanded family to moving up the property ladder.

Virgo, Mercury, your ruler, spends most of the month in the area of your chart connected with the home and family, giving you the opportunity to have worthwhile and open discussions with those with whom you share your home and enabling you to reach new understandings.

It would be advisable to do this before the middle of November. The New Moon and Jupiter in Scorpio at this time will give you the opportunity to make a new start, on the work front, perhaps in a new locality, or with new friends. And while Mars continues its retrograde motion in Taurus, much of your time and energy no doubt continues to revolve around foreign matters, either with travel or people, or perhaps in legal business too. It may seem as if things are never going to be resolved, but your patience will be rewarded.

Libra, while Mars has been retrograde in Taurus, you have no doubt been fighting for what you feel is rightfully yours where jointly owned property or shared resources are concerned, but until now without any resolution. Matters should be settled during December, but in the meantime, the New Moon in Scorpio suggests that you may make a fresh start where your personal income or property is concerned. In fact, with Jupiter spending a year in Scorpio from this November, you will have many opportunities for the expansion of your income or your property during that time. Whilst your bank balance may grow, however, there will also be a tendency to extravagance while Jupiter is here. With the appropriate restraint, though, you should be able to invest wisely for long-term growth.

Scorpio, with Jupiter now in your sign for the coming year, you enter a whole new phase of personal growth and self-development that could set you on the right path for the next twelve years! Now is a great time for learning and for gaining new experiences. The New Moon here at the beginning of November encourages you to get started in some way by turning a fresh page in your life. Unfortunately, while Mars remains in Taurus, there probably continues to be tension with partners or in your closest relationships and maybe even with a very strong relationship.

Work on joint projects is likely to slow down a little while Mars remains retrograde. But one thing you can be sure of this month is that your social life and your interaction with friends and neighbours will be like a 24/7 party.

Sagittarius, Mars remains retrograde in Taurus this month and you continue to suffer some tension, either in the workplace or where your health and fitness is concerned. Whilst it may seem, at times, as though your current problems will never be resolved, in fact the Full Moon later in the month should go some way to improving the situation. Do be careful though that you ensure there are no misunderstandings in communications after mid-month, when Mercury in your sign turns retrograde. This is traditionally a time for delays, so in the second half of the month it might be as well to allow extra time for travel! Jupiter, your ruler, spends the coming year in Scorpio you are able to be dispassionate and compassionate with both yourself and others. You will be able to learn a great deal more about yourself through others.

The husband, however, became suspicious and after a search of the bedroom discovered the man in the closet."Who are you?" he asked him.

"I'm an inspector from Bugs-B-Gone," said the exterminator.

"What are you doing in there?" the husband asked.

"I'm investigating a complaint about an infestation of moths," the man replied. "And where are your clothes?" asked the husband. The man looked down at himself and said...
