New on Netflix

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are lining up a documentary on Princess Diana as part of their new “first look deal” with Netflix.

The streaming giant is understood to be in discussion with the tony twosome for the project to mark the 30th anniversary of her death in a Paris car crash in 1997.

It was particularly memorable for me as I was sailing in Dark Harbor, Maine, at the time and did nearly 90 TV broadcasts in six weeks nationally on the subject.

It will be interesting to see if Prince William participates…

Next month Hiroko is organizing an opera cruise. So make sure you’re in the right aria.

Lawyers’ Fees Continue

Having officially split from Sana Barbara warbler Katy Perry, British actor Orlando Bloom has reportedly splashed out $13 million on a Miami, Florida, bachelor pad.

The Lord of the Rings star, 48, will be living near Kevin Costner, Ashton Kutcher, Kourtney Kardashian, and Travis Barker, according to the London tabloid, The Sun.

Perry got off to a rocky start on the first day of a Los Angeles trial after the judge blasted her lawyers for trying to ambush his courtroom with a surprise appearance by the singer.

“It’s outrageous, it’s not nice, it’s unfair,” fumed Superior Court Judge Joseph Lipner at the trial in which Katy, 40, is demanding millions from 85-year-old dying veteran Carl Westcott over repairs and back rent over the $15 million Montecito estate she bought from him five years ago.

The judge’s tirade came after Westcott’s attorney revealed their legal team had only informed them a day earlier that Perry, currently on a world tour, would only be able to testify at a certain time of the day.

Perry’s lawyer, Eric Rowen, accused Westcott’s attorneys of “targeting” her and “creating a media circus.”

The judge ordered Perry to reschedule her testimony to a later date. He also ruled she wouldn’t have to take the stand for more than two hours.
