Meghan Markle fans react to boutique owner’s scathing ‘villain of the year’ attack

Fraser Ross branded Meghan Markle a “holiday hypocrite” and depicted the Duchess of Sussex as “a villain” on a display at his department store, Kitson, in Los Angeles

Meghan Markle fans have jumped to her defence after a business owner branded her “villain of the year” in a scathing attack.

Supporters of the Duchess of Sussex have reportedly rang Kitson department store to express their fury, after its owner, Fraser Ross, put her in a “holiday hypocrites” gallery in the window in Los Angeles, California.

In the picture, Meghan, 44, is wearing a Santa hat with “Montecito Diva” emblazoned across it. The Duchess of Sussex is featured alongside other “villains” including California governor Gavin Newsom, George Clooney and Katy Perry.

But Meghan’s supporters are irate, including one who has called Kitson multiple times in one day this week to talk to Mr Ross. The business owner said: “One called the store 20 times to say we ‘weren’t nice’. She was deranged.”

Mr Ross, though, has doubled down on his decision to include the Duchess of Sussex in the mix. He said: “Two months ago we asked our followers who should be on the windows and Meghan’s name [repeatedly] came up and they stated reasons.”

Meghan’s fans expressed their sympathy for the star this month after her father was rushed to hospital and needed surgery. She eventually reached out to Thomas, the former TV lighting director, amid growing support from her following.

And her following has continued to show support amid Meghan’s latest challenges, despite Mr Ross’ insistence her place on the gallery is justified. He told the Daily Mail: “We have been getting harassed by Meghan Markle fans. We told them we do this every year and she won one of the spots. Hopefully a retail store can knock some sense into Meghan because her “yes people” are making people dislike her more.”

The business owner said customers cited their disdain for Meghan and Prince Harry’s criticism of the Royal Family as reasons to include her on the gallery, which also features George Clooney and Katy Perry.

After Harry and Meghan quit their royal duties in 2020 and relocated to America, Kitson, which is in Robertson Blvd, started offering up ‘Team Harry & Meghan’ and ‘Team William & Kate’ t-shirts so buyers could back their favourite royal couple.

And the shop has taken fire at the Duchess of Sussex again as disparaging headlines plastered alongside the former actress criticise her decision “not to let go of her royal status”.

The Rolling Stones ‘cancel’ UK and European tour as Keith Richards ‘couldn’t commit’

The Rolling Stones were expected to tour a new album in 2026, but the gigs seem to be on hold after Keith Richards allegedly couldn’t commit to being on the road

The Rolling Stones have called off plans for a 2026 UK and European tour, it has been claimed.

Although no gigs were ever announced or confirmed, multiple reports suggested the band, led by frontman Mick Jagger, would head out on the road again next year to promote a new album. It’s claimed that they had eyed up a tour across the United Kingdom and Europe after having already pulled the plug on dates for this year.

But according to reports, they have decided against the new tour. It’s claimed an American music critic claimed Keith Richards, 81, told his bandmates Mick Jagger, 82, and Ronnie Wood, 78, he didn’t want to go on the road for months and months again.

A source told The Sun: “The Rolling Stones had all the big promoters throwing loads of ideas and dates at them for next summer. But when they properly sat down to discuss the tour, Keith said he didn’t think he could commit and wasn’t keen on a big stadium tour for over four months.”

A spokesperson for The Rolling Stones said: “The band were looking to tour earlier this year but couldn’t make it work either. It’s hard for their fans, but The Stones will get back onstage when they’re good and ready.”

The band last played live on the Hackney Diamonds tour in the US in 2024, which sold almost one million tickets. But it remains to be seen when they next get on the tour bus together.

One thing that is more likely to happen is fans seeing new music from the Stones in 2026. Ronnie Wood has said the band recorded at Metropolis Studios in London. The resulting album is expected in 2026. He said: “You will be getting new music from the Rolling Stones with an album next year. It is almost done.”

The Rolling Stones’ most recent major UK performances were during their Sixty Tour in the Summer of 2022, including headline slots at the British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park on June 25 and July 3, 2022. It was previously revealed that the band were raking in more money per gig than Taylor Swift.

Pollstar’s annual Voice of Live year-end review, published earlier this year, found the rockers’ Hackney Diamonds tour was the most lucrative. Sir Mick, 81, Keith Richards, 80, and Ronnie Wood, 77, took £10,345,659 in revenue per night.

The total even eclipsed pop sensation Taylor Swift, 35, in single-night takings. Music analysis firm Pollstar’s annual Voice of Live year-end review estimated Taylor raked in £10,332,133 a night on her record-breaking Eras Tour. It took a total of £1.74billion.

The Mirror has approached the Stones’ spokesman for comment regarding live dates and a 2026 album.

Kerry Katona refuses to fix drug-damaged nose as it is a reminder to her kids

Kerry Katona has been honest about her struggles with drugs over the years and has said that she is open with her children about what she went through

Kerry Katona has said that she refuses to fix her drug-damaged nose as it serves as a reminder to her kids. The singer has said that despite her nose potentially collapsing, it reminds her to stay clean for her children.

The mum-of-five said that her nose could collapse due to years of cocaine abuse but she will not be paying to get it done surgically. The star has said that her children know about her past struggles with drugs and not getting nose surgery is a reminder for her to stay on the right track.

Kerry has said that she has a hole in her septum which could get worse at any moment. Kerry underwent major surgery last year to rebuild and strengthen the structure of her nose, with surgeons using a piece of her rib to stabilise it.

However, the hole in her septum may never fully heal which she says reminds her about her addiction struggles. Speaking to The Sun, Kerry said: “My kids know about my mistakes, and about the drugs.

“I even have a hole in my nose that I refuse to get fixed, and I’ve shown it to my children, because for me it was a reminder that if I put another line of coke up my nose, it could collapse. I didn’t want to get it fixed because I wanted to make sure I never went down that path again – and I know I never will.”

Kerry was first introduced to drugs when she was just 14-years-old. She has said in the past that her mum Sue gave her speed and told her it was sherbet.

Kerry was living in care at the time but would often sneak out to try and see her mum in Warrington. The star realised later in life that it wasn’t just the drugs she needed to stop to turn her life around – she also needed to cut certain people out of her life.

She said that every time she tried to become clean, the “tribe” tried to “pull you back”. She said that she found that those in a similar position didn’t like seeing her progress so tried to drag her back down.

Three years after her divorce from Brian McFadden, she married cabbie Mark Croft but this reignited her drug use. Kerry has said that Mark was her mum’s drug dealer and that’s how they met.

She had only been out of rehab for six weeks at the time. Kerry has since managed to turn her life around and has found another romance in her life.

After three husbands in total and two fiancés, Kerry says she is now extremely happy with the new man in her life who she crossed paths with on Celebs Go Dating.

She hit it off with personal trainer Paolo Margaglione, 33, and the pair seems to be going from strength to strength and the couple are very much in love.

Kerry said she usually tends to keep the start of her relationships out of the public eye to avoid speculation but this time it played out on screen.

All you need to know about Conan O’Brien

  • Conan O’Brien hosted a Christmas party this week, which allegedly saw the late Rob Reiner and his son Nick become involved in a heated argument. Rob and his wife, Michele, left the party early after the reported clash. But just hours later, they were found dead at their home in Brentwood, California. The couple had their throats slit by a relative, and Nick, 32, has now been booked for murder.
  • But who is Conan O’Brien? The Mirror are here to bring you everything you need to know about the American star whose career in the entertainment industry has spanned almost three decades, having written for countless TV shows which air across the globe.
  • O’Brien started his career writing for Saturday Night Live in 1998 before departing the NBC sketch comedy show in 1991. But he bagged himself an Emmy Award for his SNL sketches. Shortly after his departure from the show, he went on to write for the cartoon classic, The Simpsons, for two years between 1991 and 1993.
  • However, after leaving the cartoon, O’Brien went on to land his own show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, which also aired on NBC for almost 20 years between 1993 and 2009. It was on this show, he became known for his “self-deprecating humour” as well as gaining more recognition for his comedy work. While fronting the show, O’Brien chatted with guests including William Shatner, Eddie Murphy, Serena Williams and Sarah Paulson, to name a few. He made the decision to walk away from the show after refusing to go along with plans to move the programme to a later time slot to fit Jay Leno into the schedule
  • His late-night career, however, came to an end in 2021 after 11 years of fronting Conan on the cable channel, TBS. He said that he wanted to get away from the gruelling late-night format of shows and look towards a new career venture with WarnerMedia. Announcing the news on air, Conan told viewers: “We are winding down our TBS show. The plan is to reemerge on HBO Max sometime in the near future with I think what will be my fourth iteration of the program. Imagine a cooking show with puppets, and you’ll have the wrong idea.”
  • Nowadays, though, he’s still actively engaged in the showbiz circuit. He fronts his own podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, which has seen him chat with huge names such as Adam Sandler, Harrison Ford, Billie Eilish and even the former First Lady, Michelle Obama. Earlier this year, he was the 87th host of the Academy Awards (known as the Oscars).
  • Over the course of his career, he’s taken home four Primetime Emmy Awards and six Writers Guild Awards, a People’s Choice Award, two iHeartRadio Podcast Awards and seven Writers Guild of America Awards.

“I grew up in Chorley without a musical background. I’m the first one in my family to pursue a career in music. I picked it up because when I got expelled from school, I didn’t think I had anything going for me, and I needed to find something that I loved, and that’s music.”
