Royal Sibling Pippa Middleton Has a Sexy Picture Scandal
Kate Middleton's sister usurps Prince Harry as "royal sibling most likely to dance on a banquette." Jesse James hints that Sandra Bullock wasn't that great in bed. Marie Osmond remarries her ex-husband. Thursday gossip knows how to party.
- Nary a week after the royal wedding, and we get our first royal scandal: The emergence of party photos of royal sibling Pippa Middleton in her bra, grinding a half-naked man, means that Prince Harry is no longer the designated royal party monster. (How fitting that Pippa's partial nudity is, in fact, ridiculously demure.) Pippa is famous for feuding with Princess Beatrice (the one who wore the crazy hat) and fighting to get disco balls installed in Buckingham Palace for the royal wedding reception. Despite strenuous objection from palace officials, Pippa won the battle of the royal disco balls. Centuries from now, madrigals will sing of her feats: Pippa the Partier, the commoner who rose above, then burned the house down because the roof the roof the roof was on fire and she came here to parrrty.
