EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY CAN’T STOP ASKING MEGHAN IF HE’S GOOD-LOOKING
PLUS: TOM HIDDLESTON SILENCES TAYLOR SWIFT TALK, AND SAVANNAH GUTHRIE & JENNA BUSH HAGER’S FRIENDSHIP IMPLODES
EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY’S INSECURITIES EXPOSED
Prince Harry has a new title inside the Sussex household — not Duke, not Spare, but “Fox.” Meghan Markle’s pet name went public when she posted surfing clips of Harry with Salt-N-Pepa’s Whatta Man blaring, captioned with a fox emoji. But insiders tell #ShuterScoop this isn’t just a sweet nickname — it’s therapy.
“Harry needs constant reassurance that he’s attractive,” one insider revealed. “He’ll straight-up ask Meghan, ‘Do you think I’m good-looking?’ It’s a daily thing. He thrives on compliments.”
Meghan plays along, branding him as her rugged leading man. But friends whisper she knows Harry doesn’t exactly stack up to her Hollywood crushes. In the past, Meghan admitted to swooning over Luke Perry’s Dylan McKay, praising Kerry Washington’s commanding presence, and even having a “small crush” on Dominic Cooper.
“Harry is many things — soldier, royal, dad,” a Hollywood source said. “But he’s not Dylan McKay or Dominic Cooper. Meghan calls him her Fox because it’s a safe way to sell him as her heartthrob.”
The strategy has become a pattern. “Whenever Harry feels insecure, Meghan builds him back up,” another source added. “He needs to be told he’s handsome, that people still see him as desirable. Without those words, he spirals.”
Bottom line: Meghan isn’t just married to her Fox — she’s managing the most high-maintenance leading man in Netflix history.
EXCLUSIVE: TOM HIDDLESTON’S TEAM BANS TAYLOR SWIFT QUESTIONS — BUT ONE STILL SLIPPED THROUGH
Eight years later, and Tom Hiddleston still can’t outrun the ghost of “Hiddleswift.” The 44-year-old Loki star was caught off guard during a UK radio interview when host Devin Griffin casually name-dropped Taylor Swift while talking sourdough bread. Hiddleston froze, tilted his head back, and muttered only a strained, “Hmmm.”
Insiders tell #ShuterScoop that awkward pause wasn’t supposed to happen. “Tom’s people are crystal clear before interviews: no Taylor Swift questions,” one source said. “They don’t want him dragged back to 2016 every time he promotes a project.”
But this time, the name got through — and his body language told the story. “You could see him panic,” another insider said. “It was like: We agreed this was off-limits — how did this slip by?”
The problem? That whirlwind romance is still his most viral role. The “I ♥ T.S.” tank top, the lightning-fast love affair, the paparazzi-soaked kisses — they cemented Hiddleston as Taylor’s summer fling, not Shakespearean Tom.
“His team wants him remembered as Loki, as a serious actor, not Taylor’s ex in a novelty tank,” another source explained. “That’s why they clamp down so hard.”
But as the latest clip proves, Hiddleswift is a ghost that won’t leave. No matter how hard his handlers try, one stray question is enough to drag him back into the summer he can’t rewrite.
EXCLUSIVE: SAVANNAH GUTHRIE & JENNA BUSH HAGER — FROM BESTIES TO COLLEAGUES AT WAR
Once inseparable on and off camera, Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager are now giving NBC staffers a front-row seat to morning TV frost.
The chill spilled into public view when Jenna blindsided Savannah live on Today by bringing up the fact she wasn’t invited to Guthrie’s 2014 wedding. Savannah’s sharp retort — “We can’t do this again” — made her frustration plain.
“Savannah was furious Jenna aired that on air,” one NBC insider told #ShuterScoop. “She’s begged Jenna to drop it, but Jenna keeps poking. It’s gone from playful to mean.”
Backstage, Guthrie is known as the boss of Studio 1A. “Savannah runs a tight ship,” a production source said. “And Jenna pushing her buttons is creating serious tension.”
The breaking point came when Bush Hager asked intrusive questions about how Guthrie conceived her first child at 42. “That was humiliating,” another insider confided. “It crossed a line between friends. Savannah hasn’t forgiven her.”
Now the once-tight duo barely speak unless the cameras are rolling. “They laugh for viewers, but the second the red light goes off, the silence is icy,” one source revealed.
Bottom line: Savannah Guthrie and Jenna Bush Hager aren’t just morning show co-hosts anymore — they’re frenemies in a very public cold war.
