While it appears the Paris gun scandal has quietly gone away, Pippa obviously feels something needs to be done to protect her image because she has hired a PR professional to handle it — and a top notch one at that. David Wynne-Morgan is a the veteran PR rep who’s a consultant with Pelham Bell Pottinger. He declined to comment, but one of his associates told a British news source she hired him.

“Pippa wanted his advice on how she should deal with her PR,” the associate said.

A source said, “Once, all three of the Middleton ladies came into browse, and while Kate Middleton took off her engagement ring – Diana’s – to try on another she liked, Pippa sneakily hid it.”

One can only picture the look of horror on Kate’s face when she looked down on the jewelry counter only to find the exquisite diamond and sapphire ring once belonging to Princess Diana gone!  When Prince William and his lovely bride-to-be sat down for their first interview following the announcement of their engagement in November 2010, he said somewhat jokingly — but in no way kidding — that Kate would be in trouble if she ever lost his mother’s ring. No doubt all those words played out for a brief instant in Kate’s mind when she realized the ring wasn’t where she just placed it before trying on other bling.

“Pippa let Kate panic for a few minutes before confessing. She found it extremely funny,” the source said. “Not surprisingly, Kate wasn’t so amused!”

If Pippa Middleton wanted to scare her sister, that was one way to do it. Probably not the best way or the wisest.

“Pippa is a little minx. She has a wicked sense of humor,” said one jewelry store owner who knows the Middletons.

Pippa is already associated with one bad incident after the Paris gun scandal broke out last week. Will she tone down her teenage-themed antics after realizing her actions aren’t always that funny?

French authorities are looking into the matter that happened Saturday. If the gun Soultrait had was the real thing, he and the other passengers — including Pippa Middleton — could face up to seven years in prison. If it’s a fake then the sentence could be two years.

Royal editor of The Sun, Duncan Larcombe, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that a source spoke to them about the gun scandal Middleton was a part of.

The source said, “If the evidence points to her involvement, she will be prosecuted. Anybody involved in the illegal use of a handgun in public is liable to arrest and interrogation.”

“Pippa is a party girl,” Larcombe told the ABC morning news show. “She mixes now in very high society and they don’t come very higher than this group of French aristocratic sons.”

Will Pippa Middleton get into trouble with her sister’s royal in-laws? Surely the Queen isn’t taking this lightly. Although Pippa isn’t part of the royal family, she’s linked to Kate and it’s no secret the Queen has had her limit of bad publicity when it comes to the British monarchy. If she thought it was over when Diana died, she was sadly mistaken!

Pippa went to an after-party celebration with Antoine de Tavernost at the nightclub, Raspoutine. They were seen holding hands and out until the wee hours of Saturday morning. Later that same day Pippa spent more time with Soultrait as she joined him sight-seeing in his sporty convertible.

As Pippa Middleton is linked with other men, news comes out she’s known them for years as merely just friends. Has she had a serious relationship with any of them or does she by chance happen to hit it off with some of the wealthiest and most aristocratic young men in the world? She has yet to be romantically linked seriously to any of them. Middleton appears to be enjoying her life any woman would in her situation by just having fun and enjoying the benefits of her high society status. Is she in the market to find the love of her life or living it up being showered with so much attention from wealthy companions? What girl wants to turn down lavish parties, expensive dinners, and exotic vacations?

The source told National Enquirer that Whitney Houston’s daughter began smoking pot at 11pm at night and was going strong until 6am the next morning. She also drank a lot of alcohol.

“Between tokes, Bobbi was drinking shots of Grey Goose and Skyy Blue vodka, and sipping a mixed vodka drink. She’s obviously a seasoned partier.”

Is Bobbi Kristina doing the best she can to be like her mother in “every” possible way? Some might wonder why this young woman is engaging in such behavior when she just witnessed her own mother die from such destructive habits. Bobbi looked up to her mother — put her on a pedestal. Even though Whitney died from leading an unhealthy lifestyle full of drugs and booze it was part of what she did and her daughter wants to live up to her image. In an interview she gave to Oprah Winfrey last month she said she wants to maintain her mother’s legacy…singing and acting is in her sights as well. Oprah asked her if that’s going to wind up being too much pressure, but Kristina said her mother prepared her for it and that’s what she’s meant to do.

There are talks that Bobbi Kristina might do a reality show for a cable network, but nothing is confirmed yet. If such a thing goes through, will viewers be watching her smoke more pot from bongs and drinking heavily?

Friends close to Pippa and the Duke say chances are they won’t be more than friends because the “chemistry” just isn’t there. Even money may not help Percy if Pippa Middleton doesn’t want anything romantically with him. Is her mother hopeful there might be something more down the road? She must enjoy the possibility that her younger daughter could one day marry a Duke herself. She sat Pippa and Percy together at a New Year’s Eve party event and the press suggested she was pushing for them to be a couple then.

Until more is known about Pippa Middleton and the Duke of Northumberland, all the media has is speculation.

Two contradictory reports about Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson making a big move were posted Tuesday. Us Weekly magazine reported that Ben and Courtney were shacking up. Robertson had apparently moved out of her LA-based home and headed 380 miles north to San Francisco in a U-haul truck on March 17th. She supposedly moved in with Ben and his two roommates, but EOnline has a different side of the story. The source reminded readers that Ben once called Us Weekly “shady.”

EOnline’s source said Courtney “hasn’t moved in, but they are spending more time together. She is gradually moving some stuff into his apartment but they are taking it slow at the moment.”
