JON & LINDSAY HOT NEW COUPLE! Ben Affleck’s ex Lindsay Shookus was spotted taking in a theatre show in New York last week on the arm of Jon Hamm – prompting friends to wonder if they’ve taken their relationship from mates to dates. According to the New York Post, SNL producer Lindsay, 39, and the 48-year-old Mad Men star “sat together on the aisle and looked to be having a great time”. “It very much felt like they were on a date,” says an onlooker. “When they were talking to each other, they had their eyes locked on each other the whole time.” However, a separate source tells Woman’s Day they’ve been friends for years, and roll in similar social circles. “If they are just friends, hopefully it does…
When Princess Diana died in 1997, her “box of secrets”, containing 10 never-before-seen video tapes and audio cassettes she covertly recorded, disappeared from Kensington Palace – and have never been recovered. In Diana: Case Solved, authors Dylan Howard and former detective Colin McLaren claim the lost tapes contained a “record of her knowledge of scandals that could finish Britain’s monarchy” and that she “stashed them in a box called the ‘Crown Jewels’”. They were kept under lock and key in her Kensington Palace apartment along with a signet ring belonging to her former lover James Hewitt and photographs that show her ex-husband Prince Charles romping naked with a male lover, their informants claim.

There has long been speculation that Diana planned to marry Dodi Fayed – and that he had even bought an engagement ring and proposed to her on the night she died. But could Diana also have been pregnant? “I was told that Diana was enceinte [pregnant in French] but had lost the baby,” one nurse at the hospital where she died told the author, while an unnamed French police officer told them that it was covered up to spare her family embarrassment. “She was blissfully happy,” a family source tells the authors. “Her little bump was showing, and she was so proud. She’d even told reporters that she has some happy news to report.”…
When police raided the home of Diana’s butler Paul Burrell, they found 2000 personal items they allege he stole from her Kensington Palace apartment. The royal family was warned that, if he took the stand, Paul would speak about events of “extreme delicacy” and “matters of a very private nature” – and his lawyers would have to resort to the “nuclear option” of calling Charles as a witness. On August 18, 2001, Paul was charged with stealing 310 items from Diana’s private chambers worth $5.9 million, yet 11 days into the trial the Queen “recollected” that she had met with the butler after Diana’s death and agreed he should care for some of her possessions. “It was only an intervention of this magnitude that could stop the world hearing the…
