Former US President Donald Trump claimed that Princess Diana was among the prominent figures who once “kissed [his] a**,” and her brother Charles Spencer blasted him for the comments on social media.
According to some sources, Trump once had a bit of an infatuation with Diana. But Spencer said his sister regarded the real estate mogul as worse than an unspeakable, seemingly painful medical ailment. Here’s what he said.

Selina Scott has claimed that she experienced sexual harassment while working as a presenter on BBC Breakfast in the Eighties.
Scott, who was one of the first co-hosts of BBC Breakfast Time in 1983, explained why she declined to be a guest on the BBC Breakfast show this week as part of its 40th anniversary celebrations.
She said it would be “dishonest” to appear on the show following her experiences on the show, which she claimed included being forced to deal with being kissed by co-presenter Frank Bough.
Scott also spoke about feeling forced to kiss Jimmy Savile when he appeared on the show as a guest, and said she felt women were placed on air for “decoration”.
The presenter told Daily Mail on Friday (20 January) that she was warned about the “snake-pit atmosphere” of the broadcasting house before she began her role.
“Boy, were they right,” she wrote, alleging that...

Rob Brydon’s tongue-in-cheek reaction to Ken Bruce quitting BBC Radio 2 after 31 years has been getting attention from fans on Twitter.
On Tuesday (17 January), the veteran radio host announced that he had decided to step away from the corporation, where he has been employed for 45 years.
Bruce has hosted the 9:30am to 12pm weekday show on BBC Radio 2 since 1990, and became one of the best-loved presenters, in part thanks to PopMaster, a game that tests listeners’ music knowledge.
He will join radio station Greatest Hits in April, and has confirmed he will bring PopMaster with him to his new job.
Comedian Brydon, who has stood in for Bruce many times on his radio show and once even impersonated him for an entire two-and-a-half hours on air, paid tribute to Bruce’s tenure with a humorous tweet.
“Devastated to hear @RealKenBruce has decided to leave @BBCRadio2,” he wrote. “I...

President Donald Trump met with Queen Elizabeth II on Friday, but he received a less than warm welcome from the Brits. Thousands of protesters took to the streets in various cities throughout the UK because the business mogul doesn't exactly have the best track record with the royal family. In an interview with Howard Stern in 1997, just months after Princess Diana's death, Trump insisted that he "could have" slept with the late royal — as long as she passed an HIV test. During the sit-down, which originally resurfaced days before the Princess of Wales' son, Prince Harry, married actress Meghan Markle, Stern asked him, "Why do people think it's egotistical of you to say you could've gotten with Lady Di? You could've gotten her, right? You could've nailed her?" The president replied, "I think I could have." The radio host then demonstrated a scene where Trump demands Princess Diana get tested.

Just when you thought you couldn't be more repulsed by Donald Trump's interactions with women, another gross story drops from the heavens. British actress Emma Thompson recently appeared on Scandinavian TV show Skavlan, where the 57-year-old shared a story about the time the Sabrina the Teenage Witch guest star hit on her. Exactly one day after she split from first husband Kenneth Branagh, she received a call in her trailer on the set of the 1998 film Primary Colors (in which she plays a character loosely inspired by Hillary Clinton, coincidentally). The phone rang and she heard a voice that said, "Hi, it's Donald Trump here," a sensation that Emma described as "like a moose had just entered my trailer" since that phone had never rung before. He offered her "some accommodation" in Trump Towers because "they're really comfortable" and finished off the call by saying, "Well, you know, I...

Real estate royalty? Donald Trump wanted Princess Diana to be his "trophy wife," according to BBC TV anchor Selina Scott, who was also a friend of the late People's Princess. Scott, 64, has been a longtime critic of the real estate mogul, who is currently eyeing the Republican nomination in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. She also claims that Trump allegedly gave the late Princess Diana "the creeps" as he tried to win her affections following her 1996 divorce from Prince Charles. "Trump clearly saw Diana as the [...]...

London, May 14: Selina Scott, who was approached to play Miss Moneypenny in the 1987 James Bond film 'The Living Daylights', reportedly lost her role in the flick after she was deemed too attractive for the part.

Lucy Mangan on the people hitting the headlines in the past seven days
Women trouble
The pope
The Vatican has announced a revision of a 2001 decree aimed at tightening the rules on child abuse by priests (or at least, as a first step, suggest that this is a thing perhaps to think twice about before doing). In addition to this sterling work, however, they popped in a little clause making it an equally serious crime for any bishop to attempt to ordain a woman.
It is unclear whether it's the aping of Rowan Williams or the whole womanity thing that is most appalling to the Roman Catholic church and its leaders, but either way, trying to ordain a woman now ranks alongside paedophilia, heresy and schism in the catalogue of ecclesiastical crime. Read 'em and do weep.

The notorious film director on cheating death, the awfulness of restaurants – and how he can't stand boring people
It is with a mixture of fear and exhilaration that I approach Michael Winner's large house – he likes to describe it as a mansion – in London's fashionable Holland Park. God knows how much it's worth – £25m maybe. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin lives next door, in an even bigger house. An attractive, slightly forbidding young woman answers the door – I later discover she is a resting actress called Ruby – and she shows me into Winner's private cinema, filled with memorabilia from half a lifetime of movie-making and an entire lifetime of trouble-making.
There are seats for 30 people, a bar, a director's chair with Winner's name on it, the Winner puppet from Spitting Image, a signed photograph of Marilyn Monroe, pictures of some scantily clad starlets, and hundreds of photographs of stars...

Selina Scott has accused the BBC of breaking the law in the wake of Arlene Phillips's departure from Strictly Come Dancing. The 58-year-old broadcaster, who received £250,000 in an ageism row with Five last year, claimed that the treatment of Phillips breaches discrimination regulations. Earlier this month, it was announced that Phillips had been dropped from the BBC One ballroom show after six series. Popstar Alesha Dixon and ballerina Darcey Bussell will replace her on the judging panel. Writing in the Daily Mail, Scott insisted: "Arlene, of course, is the latest victim of the latest bout of ageism emanating from the BBC. Her expulsion from Strictly Come Dancing, at the age of 66, in favour of the much younger singer Alesha Dixon, who is 30, and former ballerina Darcey Bussell, 40, flies (more)...
