Prince Harry and Megan Markle end their Spotify podcast deal

Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s lucrative deal to produce podcasts for Spotify has ended. The audio streaming giant and the production company Archewell Audio, launched by the Sussexes, said in a joint statement: “Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”  The royals’ deal with Spotify was reported to have been made in 2020 for a reported $25 million.

The couple produced just one series, “Archetypes,” a podcast launched in August 2022 hosted by Markle that sought to “investigate, dissect, and subvert the labels that try to hold women back,” under their Archewell Audio podcast imprint. A representative for Spotify said the decision meant that Archetypes would not be renewed for a second season, as was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Archetypes saw celebrities including Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling, Constance Wu, Jameela Jamil and Paris Hilton featured, and won the top podcast award at the People’s Choice Award in Los Angeles.

Pete Davidson charged with reckless driving after crash in Beverly Hills in March

“Saturday Night Live” alum Pete Davidson has been charged with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving after authorities said he crashed a car into a Beverly Hills home back in March.

According to news outlets, the crash occurred in the late night hours of March 4 in a residential neighborhood. Beverly Hills police confirmed that Davidson’s girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, was also in the vehicle and that Davidson had struck a fire hydrant in the crash.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office confirmed the charges, without elaborating on details: “We believe that Mr. Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision into a home,” the statement read. “Luckily, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision.” A reckless driving charge can carry a sentence of up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine in Los Angeles.   The DA’s office said in its statement: “In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years  This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it’s crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.” Davidson’s arraignment is set for July 27.

Kourtney Kardashian announces pregnancy with Travis Barker at Blink-182 concert

Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian announced that she is expecting her fourth child with a handwritten sign that she displayed as her husband, Travis Barker, performed on stage at the Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles Friday night.

Kardashian, 44, and Barker, 47, shared a video of the moment on Instagram early Saturday morning, showing Barker leaving the stage to find her in the audience and embrace her. The simple sign read “Travis I’m Pregnant” in black capital letters; and appeared to be a reference to a Blink-182 music video where a fan held up the same sign as Barker walks past. Multiple fans pointed out the similarities between the two signs, with one posting the two clips alongside each other.

This will be Kardashian and Barker’s first child together. The couple started dating in 2021 and married the following year.  Kardashian shares sons Mason Dash, 13, and Reign Aston, 8, as well as daughter Penelope Scotland, 10, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick.  Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler share son Landon, 19, daughter Alabama, 17 and stepdaughter Atiana Cecelia De La Hoya, 24, Moakler’s child from a previous relationship.
