EMMA CORRIN WADES INTO THE CROWN CONTROVERSY: Emma Corrin, who plays Princess Diana in the hit Netflix series The Crown, weighed in on whether she thought the Netflix series should be labeled as a work of fiction as Diana’s brother and members of the U.K. government believe. She told Variety: “This is fictitious in the same way people don’t mistake Succession for what actually happened with the Murdochs. I also understand [the request] comes from a place of sensitivity and protectiveness of the royal family and Diana.”

ALISON ROMAN IS OUT AT NYT: Alison Roman announced that she will not return to The New York Times after her column was put on pause following controversial remarks targeting Chrissy Teigen. She wrote on social media: “Feels like a good time to formally mention I won’t be returning to NYT Cooking. I’m proud of the work we made together but excited for this new chapter which includes more recipes, videos and writing over on A Newsletter and beyond.” Her column was nixed after she told The New Consumer in May: “What Chrissy Teigen has done is so crazy to me. She had a successful cookbook. And then it was like: Boom, line at Target. Boom, now she has an Instagram page that has over a million followers where it’s just, like, people running a content farm for her. That horrifies me and it’s not something that I ever want to do. I don’t aspire to that.”

She was navigating the crowds and the bumpy cobblestone sidewalks and subway vents like a pro,” the eyewitness added. The pair hit the streets with baby after a brief visit inside.
