Royal Baby Baptism: How Prince William, Kate Middleton's Son Will Be Christened

Queen Elizabeth II waited one month after Prince Charles' November 1948 birth to christen him, and Prince William and Kate Middleton will do the same for their newborn son, Prince George Alexander Louis,
who was born July 22. The new parents, both 31, will follow tradition
when it comes to the baptism ceremony, christening gown and reception.

Unlike royal weddings, which are often state occasions, baptisms are reserved for about 60 relatives and friends. At the half-hour liturgy, the Archbishop of Canterbury will ask William, Middleton and the godparents to gather around the 172-year-old baptismal Lily Font, filled with holy water from the River Jordan. As the queen -- the Church of England's Supreme Governor -- looks on, they'll affirm they'll raise the child to follow Christ.
Then, the newborn will be anointed -- and serenaded with hymns. Sixteen choristers from the Chapel Royal will sing at the service.

Since 1841, nearly every royal babe has worn the same lace-and-silk robe, first fashioned for Queen Victoria's son, the future King Edward VII. But after it endured six generations of wear and tear, Queen Elizabeth II commissioned a replica in 2008, which was used later that year for her grandson James, the Viscount Severn.

Naturally, as the future sovereign of England, William and Kate's child will don the original. Though the gown has been handed down, the shoes are always new!
At the reception, Prince William and Middleton will serve the top tier of their wedding cake, which they froze after their April 2011 wedding.

Paula Deen is once again trying to defend herself. After her employee, Dora Charles, told the New York Times on July 25 that the Food Network chef treated her unfairly
and failed to live up to her promises of wealth in exchange for
loyalty, the embattled Southern chef's rep is firing back in response to
Charles' claims.

In a statement to Us Weekly, a spokesperson for Deen explained, "Ms. Charles' 'issue' is about money, not race. She receives a salary of more than $70,000 per year, plus profit sharing and benefits. For 20 years she has been paid a fair wage for her work, but she feels she deserves even more money. She claimed to be a friend of Paula Deen's but is now trying to cash in on the current situation."
In the article, Charles, who is African-American, alleged that Deen, 66, used racial slurs and tried to exploit her black employees for show. "I'm not trying to portray that she is a bad person," she said. "I'm just trying to put my story out there that she didn't treat me fairly and I was her soul sister."
PHOTOS: Southern stars
Charles' latest comments follow weeks of controversy surrounding the chef. Since it was revealed in June that Deen had admitted in a deposition to using the N-word in the past, she was fired by Food Network and Smithfield Foods, and was dropped by a slew of endorsement deals.

On Wednesday, June 26, Deen first attempted to clear her name on the TODAY show. "If there's anyone out there that has never said something that they wish they could take back -- if you're out there, please pick up that stone and throw it so hard at my head that it kills me," she said through sobs. "Please, I want to meet you...I is what I is, and I'm not changing."

People's Court judge Marilyn Milian
deserves to let loose once in a while -- and she did just that on a
recent beach vacation with her family. Ditching her traditional judicial
robes and sunbathing topless in a pair of bikini bottoms, the outspoken
52-year-old showed just how comfortable she is in her own skin.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hot bikini bodies
Per the New York Post, Milian was vacationing in the Caribbean with her husband, Florida Judge John Schlesinger. They were accompanied by their three daughters, Cristina, Alexandra, and Sofia.
PHOTOS: Stars' sexy swimsuit style
A former Florida state circuit court judge, Milian took over The People's Court in 2001. She is the first female judge to preside over the long-running show, and the first Latina to host a nationally syndicated TV court program. Last September marked her 12th season on the show's bench, making her one of the longest-serving judges in People's Court history.

"I was always a little too responsible," she told the New York Times in 2008 of becoming a lawyer at 23. "While my friends were dancing on tables, I was prosecuting first-degree murder cases."

Will Taylor Swift, Harry Styles Romance Be Featured In 'This Is Us'?
With childhood flashbacks, touching family moments and boy-band bonding, One Direction fans are only a few weeks away from seeing the group as they've never seen them before in their upcoming 3-D movie, "This Is Us."
Yet, there is one thing you won't be seeing during the film, and that is Harry Styles' high-profile, yet short-lived romance with Taylor Swift, known as "Haylor."
Directioners Gush Over One Direction's 'This Is Us' Trailer
Spurlock's timeline seems to be correct. The brief romance heated up in December 2012 after Styles and Swift were photographed walking through New York's Central Park. Shortly following were trips to tattoo parlors, birthday cupcakes in Europe and their very public New Year's Eve kiss. Yet, the romance came to an abrupt halt just one week later, following what was reportedly a "heated argument" while vacationing in the British Virgin Islands.
Even though there won't be any relationship drama on the big screen, there will still be plenty to satisfy every single Directioner, according to "This Is Us" producer Ben Winston, who says One Direction's real-life story plays out "better than any fictional movie ever could."
"The doc of what's happened to them over the last few years is more exciting than any script writer could ever write or come up with," Winston said. "So, therefore, you've already got a wonderful story that you're able to tell. And Morgan and myself and all of the team have done a job of portraying that really and showing who the boys are, what they've gone through, both the ups and the downs, within that," he said.
"This Is Us" hits theaters August 30.
