KATE MIDDLETON GETS BACK TO SCOUTING ROOTS: Kate Middleton visited the Scouts’ HQ on the outskirts of London Thursday, and while she was there, the mother of three climbed into a den built against a tree with a little girl. “It’s very waterproof in here,” the 37-year-old royal said as she hunched down. “Wouldn’t be a visit to Gilwell Park without a bit of den building,” the Scouts captioned the image on Twitter, adding the hashtag #SkillsForLife. Kate was a Brownie herself as a girl, so she should know.

COLTON HAYNES TALKS SOBRIETY: Colton Haynes, 30, is opening up about his newfound sobriety. “In 10 years, there were maybe 25 days I didn’t drink,” Haynes told Attitude Magazine. “I remember when I started, it was a couple glasses of wine, and it regressed into really dark times.” When he came out as gay in 2016, he said it spiraled out of control; then his mother died, and he announced his divorce from husband Jeff Leatham. “I got married and that didn’t work out. That was extremely public and heart-breaking, and right when that was going on, my mom died,” he said. “At that point, I fell apart. My brain broke. I was doing a massive comedy for a studio, showed up to work and got fired on the first day. They said I looked as if I had ‘dead in my eyes’, and I did.” He said he hit rock-bottom after a seven-day bender, and now that he has recovered, he said he is ready to speak out and end the “stigma” of addiction.
