In the news
■ Amy Schumer hit back last week against social media commenters who criticized her “puffier” face during an appearance on NBC’s Tonight Show. “Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face!” the comedian wrote on Instagram. “I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years.” Schumer, 42, then explained that her appearance is the result of endometriosis, which causes uterine-like tissue to grow in the pelvic cavity outside the uterus. “I’m okay,” she wrote. “Like every other woman/person some days I feel confident and good as hell and others I want to put a bag over my head.” Schumer has been open about her struggles with endometriosis—she had her uterus and appendix removed as a result of the condition—and willing to laugh at herself. On Good Morning America last week, Schumer grabbed a candy heart that read “Bloated.”
■ Prince Harry is willing to lend a hand with royal duties while his father, King Charles III, undergoes cancer treatment, multiple news outlets reported last week. But Buckingham Palace aides told the Daily Mail (U.K.) there’s a “zero percent chance” that Charles and Harry’s older brother, Prince William, will let him back into the fold after he abandoned his royal responsibilities in Britain and moved to California. Following his recent dash across the Atlantic to spend 30 minutes with his father in London, Harry told a reporter that Charles’ illness could have a “reunifying effect” on the family—sparking the reconciliation that Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have reportedly long hoped for. But a friend of the royals told The Daily Beast that “William and his father are totally united on this. There is no way they are going to re-royal Harry after what he has said.”
■ The family of Brian Wilson is seeking to place the 81-year-old Beach Boys co-founder under a conservatorship because his dementia means he is unable to care for himself. Wilson’s wife, Melinda, had been his primary caregiver, but she died last month at age 77. The Wilson family said in a statement that Wilson’s manager, Jean Sievers, and business manager, LeeAnn Hard, would be appointed as “co-conservators of the person.” The decision, the statement added, will mean Wilson can “enjoy all of his family and friends and continue to work on current projects.”
