PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE’S REP RESPONDS TO DOCUSERIES CRITICISM: In response to some of the criticism Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been receiving for their new Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, a representative for the couple released a statement to Entertainment Tonight claiming that “the Duke and Duchess have never cited privacy as the reason for stepping back” from the royal family. The statement continued, “This distorted narrative was intended to trap the couple into silence. In fact, their statement announcing their decision to step back mentions nothing of privacy and reiterates their desire to continue their roles and public duties. Any suggestion otherwise speaks to a key point of this series.”

JOSH LUCAS TURNED DOWN A DOCTOR WHO OFFERED TO GIVE HIM KEVIN COSTNER’S NOSE: Josh Lucas revealed to Extra in a recent interview that he turned down an offer to have his nose look like his Yellowstone costar Kevin Costner’s nose. “Earlier this year, I got a wood splitter… and one of the pieces of oak exploded and it hit me so badly in the face that it badly busted my nose. I had to have complete reconstructive surgery on my nose. I had to have it rebuilt,” he told the outlet. “So I went to the plastic surgeon and he showed me photographs of myself and photographs of Kevin Costner… He showed me Kevin’s nose on my face and he said, ‘We can give you Kevin’s nose.’” The Sweet Home Alabama actor replied, “No, I don’t want Kevin’s nose. I want my nose!”
