I have to update my list from yesterday about how, in SNL Stefon’s voice, this Prince Andrew-Jeffrey Epstein story has everything:

-a pedophile
-a madam
-girls who say they were sex slaves
-billionaires
-politicians
-government corruption
-a beachside lair
-country estates
-New York mans…

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family enjoy a flypast by the RAF at Trooping the Colour on Saturday 8 June 2019

Vanity Fair did a decent story about the current royal situation, or should I say, the current situation with how the British media treats various royal stories. On one side, it’s good that people around the world are noticing the false equivalence being used between “Prince Andrew’s BFF was a pedophile rapist” and “Meghan and Harry flew on a private plane.” The British media treats both issues like they are the same and equally worthy of the same kind of wrath. And that’s being generous – it actually seems like the Sussexes are getting more wrath than Andrew. Anyway, this VF story is basically trying to explain why that keeps happening, and we know why already. A heavy dose of racism, plus the realities of the media landscape – Meghan stories sell more than Andrew stories. Meanwhile, Andrew gets to be a jolly golfer in Spain:

Prince Andrew has been pictured playing golf in southern Spain today as the Jeffrey Epstein storm shows no sign of dying down. The Queen’s son was snapped in a polo shirt this morning on the greens of Real Club Valderrama golf course – amid worldwide scrutiny over his links to the paedo….but avid golfer Andrew looked “totally chilled” today as he teed off at around 8.30am with a pal.

The Duke is said to have to have thrown himself into “having fun” on the luxury break after Virginia claimed she had sex with him in 2001, when she was just 17. But Buckingham Palace has strenuously denied any wrongdoing by Prince Andrew.

Today an onlooker at the private gated complex, where the pair are holed up, told The Sun: “He seemed very relaxed, he loves golf and he’s very good at it. He was smiling and talking to his friend. You wouldn’t know to look at him all of the trouble that is going on around him. They have been having fun, enjoying the perfect weather and great food around here. Fergie was nowhere to be seen. She usually spends time around the pool in their private villa when he is out playing golf.”

Prince Andrew drove his black Range Rover to the gated clubhouse before tackling the Valderrama course, which hosted the 1997 Ryder Cup, and played nine holes. He and Fergie are staying in a plush villa with a private pool and lavish grounds behind two gated security barriers. Access to the exclusive resort, with multi-million pound villas, is by appointment only.

A source close to Andrew said: “If law-enforcement agencies or police want to talk to the Duke or any royal they just need to ask.”

[From The Sun]

So there you go. As Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace – and probably Clarence House too – all gleefully throw the Sussexes under the bus, Andrew is quietly enjoying a relaxing golf holiday with a buddy. Relieved that his former friend died under mysterious circumstances, Andrew has relaxed into a certain coddled comfort. He probably knows that they still can’t touch him.

In our last post a few of you vouched for the affordable Breville juicer and said that either you owned it or knew someone who did. It’s said to be very large and also to potentially be expensive to buy produce to juice, so I’m going to wait until I get a bigger kitchen. Many of you liked and ordered the soap by Pre de Provence. Here are some more random things which were recommended to me or which I want.

Himalayan salt body scrub to bring the spa home

Weeks ago I got a salt scrub at a spa (I prefer the scrubs and wraps to getting a full massage) and it was amazing. I left feeling totally relaxed. If I can recreate half of that feeling at home I would be so happy. This all-natural himalayan salt scrub from Handcraft Blends has 4.9 stars, over 573 reviews and an A from Fakespot! It has almond oil and lychee oil along with salt sourced from the Himalayas so it’s exfoliating as well as moisturizing. It’s called “amazing” and is said to work well without being too abrasive or oily. It’s also said to be “Easy to spread and work into the skin compared to other scrubs.” It also comes in brown sugar and matcha green tea varieties.

A peptide complex serum with allover effects
Amazon_EvaNaturalsSerumPeptide2
Serums are so popular here and they really seem to work. I’ve definitely seen a difference in my skin since using them. (This is my serum set, still working my way through these, love them.) This anti-aging peptide complex serum from Eva Naturals contains hyaluronic acid, amino acids and vitamin E to stimulate collagen production, repair skin and reduce fine lines. It has 4.3 stars, over 1,000 reviews and an A from Fakespot. Reviewers say this reduces acne scarring, makes a visible difference in fine lines and skin texture, and that they get compliments on their skin. It’s said to absorb well without being sticky and to be “light on the skin” while making it “tighter and smoother.”

Glotion gives an overall subtle glow
Amazon_Glotion
Hecate told me about this product by Loreal, Glotion, which is a face lotion for a subtle overall glow. I didn’t even know about this! Glotion comes in four different shades to match different skin tones. It can be used all over as a primer, worn alone on the skin, or used in a slightly darker shade for highlighting and contouring. This has 4.3 stars, over 500 reviews and an A from Fakespot. Women call it “subtle and flattering,” say they’re “obsessed” and that it gives a “healthy natural glow” that looks great on mature skin. I want this!

Travel vacuum bags to reduce bulk and take the stress out of packing
Amazon_VacuumTravelBags
This set of 10 travel vacuum bags can take the hassle out of packing while solving the question of how to deal with dirty clothes. You take the air out of these bags just by rolling them so they’re ideal for traveling. These have 4 stars, 75 reviews and an A from Fakespot. People are amazed that they stay airtight longer than the bags you use a vacuum with. They’re called “just the right size” for traveling, “sturdy,” “well made” and “easy to use.” Some reviewers recommend just sitting on them instead of rolling them to get the air out. These would be great for camping, storing wet items (temporarily, they would get musty) and for bulky items like towels, robes and sweaters. Packing can be such a pain and I could use something like this.

Shoe bags that can go on vacation or to the gym
Amazon_ShoeBags1
I’ve featured shoe bags before, as part of this set of packing cubes. (That set has an A from fakespot and 4.8 stars with over 2,000 reviews!) These are just the shoe bags alone though, which I definitely need for the gym. These have over 2,300 reviews, 4.8 stars and an A from Fakespot! They’re just $4 for two (1 standard size, 1 extra large) or $7 for four (2 of each). People call them “roomy” and “well made,” strong enough that heels won’t pierce them, “durable” and “great for travel.” You can also use them to store socks, underwear, or other items you want to keep separate.

Leakproof color-coded travel bottles with suction cups for easy storage
Amazon_TravelBottles1
I get the little clear plastic bottles from The Dollar Tree but they leak randomly and it can be frustrating. Plus I don’t always know what’s in them. With color coding it’s so easy to tell which is shampoo, conditioner, face wash and body wash. These 3 ounce leakproof BPA-free silicone squeezable bottles are just $10 and come in their own zip-up pouch. They have 4.5 stars, 155 reviews and an A from Fakespot. Users say they’re better than other bottles because you waste less product, that they’re “super soft and easy to squeeze” and that they love the suction cups because you can mount them almost anywhere. They’re also said to be easy to fill and to not leak at all.

Construct a tiny art studio, greenhouse or study
Amazon_TinyArtStudio
Remember last week when I featured the tiny real toy products and then found those awesome earrings? These miniature dollhouse kits came up in my suggested list and now I may try a new hobby. I think my love of small stuff comes from the train set my grandfather had. It had a little city area with a train stop and a country area with farms, it took up the whole basement and I used to play under it. These are little models you construct which are under $35 each. You can choose from a little art studio, I think I may pick that one, a greenhouse or a study complete with books. The photos on Amazon’s site show them in all stages of construction, and they’re the cutest when they’re complete. This brand also has standalone rooms including a kitchen, living room and bookstore.

Intro for August 23, 2019

Dear Gossips,

There is only one music video that belongs in this space on top of the site today and all weekend – that would be the video for “Throw It Back”, by Dr Melissa “Missy” Elliott who released her first collection of new music in 14 years last night ahead of the MTV Video Music Awards on…

Tom Hiddleston Betrayal First Preview On Broadway Departures

In a simpler time, Tom Hiddleston’s interviews were joyous and delightful. His sheer earnestness and loveliness shone through – he recited poetry to swans, he talked at length about Shakespeare and elitism and privilege, and he seemed to have so much FUN. Then Taylor Swift happened. Then there was the Worldwide Tiddlebanging Tour. Then there was a breakup a short time later. And that was three years ago. Tom has given interviews since then, of course, like his now infamous GQ cover story just a few months after the end of Tiddles. In retrospect, that the was the last we saw of that version of Tom. A new, more mature Tom emerged from the Tiddlebanging wreckage. This version is quieter, more reserved, and more interested in privacy.

Tom is currently in New York and he’ll be here for several months, doing Betrayal on Broadway. This revival had a successful run in London, and that’s why they brought it over here. To promote the play, Tom chatted with the New York Times. His publicist asked the NYT not to ask about Taylor. But Tom still did, in an oblique way. Some highlights:

It’s called acting, Tom: “I’m always curious about the presentation of a character’s external persona versus the interior. What remains private, hidden, concealed, protected, and what does the character allow to be seen? We all have a very complex internal world, and not all of that is on display in our external reality.”

Betrayal is about isolation and loneliness. “The sadness in the play — it’s not only sadness; because it’s Pinter, there’s wit and levity as well — but if there is sadness in the play. I think it comes from the fact that these betrayals render Robert, Emma and Jerry more alone than they were before.”

What betrayal means to him: “To trust is a profound commitment, and to trust is to make oneself vulnerable. It’s such an optimistic act, because you’re putting your faith in the hands of someone or something which you expect to remain constant, even if the circumstances change. I’m disappearing down a rabbit hole here, but I think about it a lot. I think about certainty and uncertainty. Trust is a way of managing uncertainty. It’s a way of finding security in saying, ‘Perhaps all of this is uncertain, but I trust you.’ Or, ‘I trust this.’ And there’s a lot of uncertainty in the world at the moment, so it becomes harder to trust, I suppose.”

His publicist asked the reporter not to ask about Taylor Swift: There was one stipulated no-go zone in this encounter, a condition mentioned by a publicist only after I’d arrived: No talk of Taylor Swift, with whom Mr. Hiddleston had a brief, intense, headline-generating romance that, post-breakup, she evidently spun into song lyrics. That was three years ago, and I hadn’t been planning to bring her up; given the context of the play, though, make of that prohibition what you will. Mr. Hiddleston, who once had a tendency to pour his heart out to reporters, knows that he can’t stop you.

So the reporter asked about Taylor Swift: “It’s not possible, and nor should it be possible, to control what anyone thinks about you. Especially if it’s not based in any, um —” he gave a soft, joyless laugh — “if it’s not based in any reality.”

Navigating fame: He knows now “to let go of the energy that comes toward me, be it good or bad. Because naturally in the early days I took responsibility for it. And yes, I’m protective about my internal world now in probably a different way… That’s because I didn’t realize it needed protecting before.”

[From The New York Times]

“It’s not possible, and nor should it be possible, to control what anyone thinks about you. Especially if it’s not based in any, um — if it’s not based in any reality.” I don’t interpret that as “Tiddles was not based on reality,” I interpret it as “people’s perceptions of Tiddles were not based on the reality of Tiddles.” Which is like his posh way of calling the Tiddles gossip “fake news.” As always, that utterly disastrous relationship ended up being one of the most educational experiences of Tom’s life. He finally realized that he needed to “protect” part of himself and never let the public see certain parts.

A post shared by Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) on Aug 20, 2019 at 7:14am PDT

Lena Dunham covers the latest issue of Domino Magazine, which is apparently some kind of hipster-twee version of Home & Garden, I think. Do they still do Elle Decor? It’s like that, only full of cheap tchotchkes and furniture from the 1980s. Maybe I’m unfairly judging this magazine by focusing only on Lena Dunham’s ghastly New York apartment, but in all fairness, I would bet actual money that Lena tried unsuccessfully to get her apartment into Vogue, Home & Garden or Elle Decor and they rejected her because of her terrible interior design skills. I mean, on one side, her home is better than mine. On the other side, she has money and access to people with taste and THIS is what she chose. You can see the whole Domino spread here. Some highlights from her twee AF “essay”:

Lena pretends that her childhood had lean years: “My mother would be mad if this made us sound like we had a lot of money to hurl around (as artists, sometimes we did and sometimes we didn’t, like the year that Christmas was a tiny newspaper tree and Indian takeout from 6th Street) or made her sound like a covetous jerk… She hunts on eBay for Danish wood candlestick holders and milky Murano glass, and the walls [in her current farmhouse] have art by everyone from Richard Prince to Matisse to me in third grade.

Her first apartment: “I thought I was content when I moved out at 26 (too old, I know, I know) and bought my first apartment: a prewar deal so good that other New Yorkers became angry when I told them (I got it off a dead guy who nobody liked! That’s the secret!).

Her second apartment, the one she bought with Jack Antonoff: “Life happened and I fell in love and whispered those terrifyingly vulnerable three words: “Let’s buy something.” And soon I was pounding the pavement looking for a place where we could build a future, consider children, and install that much fetishized Sottsass shelf. I wanted to live in another creaky decrepit-glam enclave, and I told the real-estate agent that my passion was moldings—all of them! Any of them! My man was afraid of dust. So we bid on an apartment that hadn’t even been built yet, and I spent the year making obsessive scrapbooks just like my mother before me. I planned for wallpaper (my friend Payton Cosell Turner’s Flat Vernacular does the best, and I’ve had the same pattern in three bedrooms in three apartments) and bought Josef Frank pillows and Nancy’s Blushes Farrow & Ball paint for the bedroom. I had art by Rob Pruitt and Ellen Berkenblit ready to go (queer and female painters are my thing).

Jack hated her style: “I even had all my mother’s Melmac dishes in queasy pastels. He was on tour, so she and I set the kitchen up, stuffed the closets, and placed the tchotchkes on the mantel for the great unveiling. And he hated it. He didn’t want to hate it. He tried not to hate it. But he didn’t like living among the insides of my mind. I thought I was giving him a gift, like the time I came home from summer camp and my mother had painted my walls four different chalky colors and installed a poster, a candle shaped like a slice of honeydew melon, and an inflatable chair. I wanted to give him the magic that she’d always given me by dreaming her maddening dreams. But he wanted a Restoration Hardware couch and a giant watch to hang on the wall. I felt sick every time I made a design concession or covered up pink with dove gray. Love can only survive so much. At night, I mapped out my dream space in my head: A massive bed with an ornate headboard. A pile of the vintage Harlequin novels that Jemima finds at flea markets. It doesn’t matter where the dog pees. The rooms don’t have to be big; I mostly curl into a ball.

Her current apartment, a rental: “The space isn’t big but it’s perfect for pacing, and every day I do laps through all the doors like I’m in a slapstick comedy from the 1930s, amusing myself. When the people on 8 tried to floor-shame me, I told them what I love about 2: If you’re an introvert and often homebound, by illness or sadness or both, it feels like the passersby on the street are right there with you. They are my built-in friends. Across from me is a luxurious brownstone, but I’m not sure how it’s decorated. I’ve stopped looking in other people’s windows.”

[From Domino]

Lena Dunham has a “tell” in her writing, if you want to call it that. She thinks she’s telling a story about how cute she is and how avant-garde she is, when really she’s explaining in horrific detail why she annoys the f–k out of every single person around her. I mean… she decorated her first shared home, her first live-in boyfriend situation, in all-pink and ‘80s lucite and tchotchkes and f–ked up dead dog paintings and then when Jack hated that sh-t, she felt like she was DYING. It literally never occurred to her that she has bad taste and compromising would be a lovely thing to do for the man she loved. TL; DR version: Lena is tacky. In every aspect, especially interior design.

Yeah, we’re still talking about how the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge threw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex right under the bus this week. All the British papers made the photos of the Cambridges’ budget flight their front page, it looks like. Such a normal, middle-class family, William the doting dad herding Charlotte and George in front, with Kate holding Louis and Nanny Maria beside her. But where’s Carole Middleton? The eyewitnesses told the Daily Mail that Carole joined them on the budget flight? Maybe Carole was the one photographing this merry middle class family! And in case you need the point repeatedly underlined, just know that Kensington Palace must have sent out talking points to all of the royal reporters, because they’re all parroting the same fundamental lie: that the Cambridges are always looking for cost-cutting measures and they’re ALWAYS taking budget flights. Tom Sykes at the the Daily Beast even quoted a “source” about it:

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took four private jets in less than two weeks, Kate Middleton and Prince William flew to Scotland on a budget airline on Thursday, in what was, whether they intended it or not, a crushing and highly symbolic rebuke to the other couple’s extravagance.

“William and Kate always fly budget whenever possible when they are flying on personal and private trips,” a source told The Daily Beast on Thursday. “The basic reason for that is very simple: It’s because they have to pay for their own flights if it’s a private trip and they don’t like wasting money.”

However, it’s not just an issue of flaunting wealth or saving cash. As the scathing reaction that has greeted Harry and Meghan’s multiple private airplane rides this summer shows, air travel has never been more politicized. Flying private opens you up to criticism, and if you happen to be simultaneously campaigning against climate change, all too accurate accusations of hypocrisy.

On the other hand, flying budget (especially into Aberdeen airport, where an agency snapper is parked on retainer for the summer capturing images of the royals coming and going to the Queen’s summer house, Balmoral, for their holidays) is great PR.

[From The Daily Beast]

First of all, the alleged “agency snapper” has only gotten photos of the Cambridges and MAYBE Prince Andrew… as Andrew jetted off on his private plane. Let’s not pretend that we have tons of photos of the royal family coming and going from this airport. We do not. These photos were a complete set-up, and without question they were set up by William and the Kensington Palace communication office. Notice that no one from the palace had any issue with the Cambridge kids being photographed candidly. That’s the tell. Second of all, “William and Kate always fly budget whenever possible when they are flying on personal and private trips.” Horsesh-t. They fly on private planes and private helicopters whenever possible. The Queen even BOUGHT them a new helicopter. And they’re so budget-conscious that they “borrow” the Duke of Westminster’s private plane for their holidays too. This revisionism to Embiggen the Cambridges is really something, huh.

World Premiere Of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures "Avengers: Endgame"

After two weeks of break-up melodrama, Liam Hemsworth filed for divorce from Miley Cyrus. Reportedly, Miley was not expecting him to file. Reportedly, she was still trying to approach him about possibly reconciling, even after she made out with Kaitlynn Carter just after her rep announced their split. Even after it was clear that Kaitlynn was Miley’s full-on jump-off, Miley seemed to be doing it all to get under Liam’s skin. The story of why they split kept on changing too – Miley blamed his “whiskey & pills,” his moodiness, his partying. Liam mostly kept quiet, but some sources said he was actually kind of torn up about Miley’s situation with Kaitlynn. It seemed like they broke each other’s hearts and Liam was the one saying “no mas.” No more drama, no more reconciliations, no more of any of this. So… Miley decided to get on Twitter to set a few things straight. Like, she’s still mad that we think she “cheated” on Liam. Here’s what she tweeted, with some minor edits:

I can accept that the life I’ve chosen means I must live completely open and transparent with my fans who I love, and the public, 100% of the time. What I cannot accept is being told I’m lying to cover up a crime I haven’t committed. I have nothing to hide. It is no secret that I was into partying in my teens and early 20’s. I have not only smoked, but advocated for weed, I’ve experimented with drugs, my biggest song to date is about dancing on molly and snorting lines in the bathroom.

I f–ked up and cheated in relationships when I was young. I lost a massive Walmart deal at 17 for ripping a bong. I got kicked off hotel Transylvania for buying Liam a penis cake for his birthday and licking it. I swung on a wrecking ball naked. There are probably more nudes of me on the internet than maybe any woman in history.

But the truth is, once Liam & I reconciled,I meant it, & I was committed. There are NO secrets to uncover here. I’ve learned from every experience in my life. I’m not perfect, I don’t want to be, it’s boring. I’ve grown up in front of you, but the bottom line is, I HAVE GROWN UP. I can admit to a lot of things but I refuse to admit that my marriage ended because of cheating. Liam and I have been together for a decade. I’ve said it before & it remains true, I love Liam and always will.

BUT at this point I had to make a healthy decision for myself to leave a previous life behind. I am the healthiest and happiest I have been in a long time. You can say I am a twerking, pot smoking , foul mouthed hillbilly but I am not a liar. I am proud to say, I am simply in a different place from where i was when I was a younger.

[From Miley Cyrus’s Twitter]

A couple of straw man arguments, right? I’m sure someone, somewhere argued that the ONLY reason why Miley and Liam split up was because Miley “cheated.” But it was clear from the beginning that Liam and Miley just had a ton of problems. Now, that being said… I do believe Miley cheated in whatever technical sense. Miley and Liam were having problems for months. In those months, Miley and Kaitlynn were taking girls’ trips and had girls’ nights out. How are we defining “affair” again? And is the affair definition dependent on when Miley now says her marriage was broken? Whatever – even if it wasn’t an affair, Miley absolutely set up her “next one.” Beyond all that… Miley is just a self-perpetuating melodrama machine. Whatever happened to “we were really young and we fell apart over the years, we wanted different things”? Instead, Miley orchestrates this huge drama and then acts indignant when we’re like “so, was it cheating/drugs/whatever?” And let’s not forget that she literally MADE A SONG about how the breakup was all Liam’s fault! Jesus, why am I even trying to parse Miley’s words?

TL; DR version: Miley is screaming at the top of her lungs that she doesn’t want any drama and it’s not her fault and she’s changed and she’s more mature now, and she screaming it because not enough people are paying attention to how she’s changed.

When Sarah Huckabee Sanders left the White House, I knew it would be a matter of time before she went over to Fox, so the official announcement Thursday didn’t surprise me. I think this is one of the intended trajectories for people who leave the Trump Administration. The Hollywood Reporter has more on this turn of events that is shocking to absolutely no one:

Former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has joined the Fox News Channel as a paid, on-air contributor, the network said on Thursday.

“Fox News has been the No. 1 news organization in the country for 17 years running, and I am beyond proud to join their incredible stable of on-air contributors in providing political insights and analyses,” Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

She left the White House at the end of June. At the time, political media-industry insiders speculated to The Hollywood Reporter that she could wind up at Fox News.

“I do expect Sarah to sign up with Fox News, based on mutual interest,” a former White House official said at the time.

The network said that Huckabee Sanders will “provide political commentary and analysis across all of Fox News Media, including Fox News Channel (FNC), Fox Business Network (FBN), Fox News Digital, Fox Nation and the radio/podcast division,” starting with an appearance on the morning show Fox & Friends.

[From The Hollywood Reporter]

Huckabee Sanders is following in her father’s footsteps and is also the third Trump administration official (after Hope Hicks, former communications director, and Raj Shah, former deputy press secretary) to join Fox. Huckabee Sanders is great at lying, so she’ll fit right in. In a New Yorker article from March, Jennifer Rubin, a conservative columnist for The Washington Post (who is not a Trump fan) was quoted as saying of the network currently: “It’s simply a mouthpiece for the President, repeating what the President says, no matter how false or contradictory.” We all know this, no matter how much anyone in either the White House or at Fox wants to deny it. It makes complete sense that a former press secretary in this administration, who served as an official mouthpiece for the White House with reporters and the American people, would head over there.

It’s getting harder and harder for me to keep track of various administration officials’ lies. (That’s enraging and depressing to type.) In June, several outlets compiled lists of some of Huckabee Sanders’ lies. That’s even more depressing and enraging to think about: Someone in an official government capacity has a.) told so many lies that b.) it would be hard to list them all. (And, of course, she’s not the worst offender.) The prospect of Huckabee Sanders becoming governor of Arkansas scares me a lot more, though. I wonder whether she, too, will end up on Dancing with the Stars in the future.

Taylor Swift’s Lover is out right now. Taylor Swift wants the entire Snake Fam to download the album on multiple platforms AND go out and buy multiple hard copies of the album. I haven’t had the chance to listen to every single song yet, but I’m actually getting a vague 1989 feel – as in, some of these songs absolutely sound like Tay-from-two-albums-ago. It’s like Reputation never happened, huh? She also released the official music video for “Lover.”

I don’t get this at all, and I’m saying that as someone who actually *likes* the song. This song is so sweet and lowkey, there was no need for this kind of twee, sugary, over-the-top video with all of these sets. The video could have been Taylor in a cute dress, singing to a guy in a barn. And it would have been a better reflection of the lyrics too.

Other songs on this album – you can here “Daylight” here. It sounds like a dozen other Taylor Swift songs, and it has a very 1989 vibe, honestly. Why are people hyping “Paper Rings”? It’s… not very good? “The Man” is about the patriarchy:

Here’s “Cruel Summer,” which unfortunately is not a cover of the amazing Bananarama song. *cough* You know Kanye had an album called Cruel Summer too. *cough*

Here’s “London Boy,” with Idris Elba at the start… well…it’s about how she loves a British boy.
