Royals Prince Harry’s pursed lips I don’t know if I’ve seen Harry doing the Bill Clinton lip purse. At least not that I remember. It’s kind of working for me, in a hate-f-ck way. Hot Harry is rarely a hate-f-ck, obviously, but that is just such a douchey By Lainey • Apr 02, 2014 09:50 am

Break Ups Music is the way to his heart, OF COURSE Chris Martin, now consciously uncoupled, was on The Voice last night. His appearance was pre-taped. Still, that can’t have been a disappointment for NBC seeing as their new guest mentor was basically the biggest headline in entertainment news last week. Oh timing. Coincidence or conspiracy?
