Prince William is concerned about the world that his children will inherit if the planet's most pressing environmental challenges aren't tackled

He told HELLO! in a new exclusive interview that he wants Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis to "grow up surrounded by nature" and opportunity

Prince William is set to attend the Earthshot Awards ceremony in Brazil for his global environmental initiative later this week

Prince William is concerned that his children may not have the same opportunities that he had unless drastic changes are made to safeguard the environment.

The Prince of Wales, 43, shares three children — Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 — with his wife, Princess Kate. While speaking to HELLO! ahead of this week's Earthshot Prize ceremony, he revealed that it is concerns for his children's future that drive him to keep working on the global initiative to tackle the planet's most pressing environmental challenges.

"As a father, I think constantly about the world my children will inherit," Prince William told HELLO! in their Nov. 4 issue. "I want them to grow up surrounded by nature, opportunity, and a sense of hope about the future.

"But I also know that unless we act boldly now, that future is at risk," he added.

Prince William launched his Earthshot Prize back in October 2020, with the aim of incentivizing change that repairs the planet over the next decade.

This year's Earthshot Awards ceremony is set to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 5, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil — and William's attendance marks his first official trip to South America.

"Urgent optimism is the heartbeat of The Earthshot Prize," he told HELLO! "It's the belief that although the challenges we face are immense, the solutions are within reach, and we must act with speed and conviction to bring them to life."

He continued, "'Rio, with its energy, its people and its iconic landscapes, feels like the perfect place to celebrate the power of environmental innovation."

Prince William's sit-down with HELLO! magazine comes just weeks after he spoke about plans for his children's future with Eugene Levy on the Apple TV+ series, The Reluctant Traveler.

The Prince of Wales opened up like never before in the rare TV appearance, where he spoke with candor about his wife's and King Charles' cancer diagnoses, raising his children, and his vision for change when he becomes King.

As his son, Prince George, is in the direct line of succession to the throne, it's a priority that he's prepared by the future king, and William also wants to make his boy proud!

"I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do," said Prince William on the Oct. 3 episode. "A world and a job that actually does impact people's lives for the better."

The interview also saw William lead Levy on a personal tour of the nearly 1,000-year-old Windsor Castle and pop into a local pub.

Ego announced her departure from the iconic sketch show in September, several weeks before the premiere of season 51

Ego Nwodim is sharing what life has been like since leaving Saturday Night Live — and teasing what we can expect from her next.

Nwodim, who announced her exit from the iconic sketch show ahead of the current 51st season, caught up with PEOPLE exclusively while attending the Women's Wear Daily (WWD) Honors Gala in N.Y.C. on Oct. 28. During the conversation, the comedian — who appeared on the show for seven seasons — revealed that life has been good since leaving the series.

"It's been really great," Ego, 37, says.

She adds, "I've been getting to work on projects of my own and collaborate with new people. It's been wonderful being at SNL for as long as I was able to be there. But now I'm getting to do things outside of there."

She went on to tease several upcoming projects, though she refrained from revealing too many details.

"Week after week on that stage taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and I will carry those memories (and that laughter) with me always ✨🙏🏾😘 ," she concluded. "Now invite me to your weddings please!!!"

Elaine Hendrix is gearing up for her return to the *Dancing With the Stars* ballroom after being carried out of rehearsals on a stretcher with a rib injury on Tuesday.

The *Parent Trap *star posted a video to her Instagram page on Wednesday, which showed her alongside pro partner Alan Bersten.

"Hi everyone, doing a check-in to let you know that I'm doing okay," Hendrix began in the video. "I am up and about, I'm tender, I am sore, but I am starting pain management today."

"I'm not dancing today, I'm not dancing tomorrow," Hendrix continued as Bersten nodded in encouragement. "We'll be back at it Friday. And I'm just getting ready to be in that ballroom next Tuesday."

Bersten chimed in, sharing the pair's gratitude for their fans' fervent support during Hendrix's hospitalization.

"We just wanted to say thank you so much for voting for us, and show so much love to Elaine and the support," he said. "We can feel it and we appreciate it so much."

"Yeah, it's palpable," Hendrix gushed. "All of your messages, I'm seeing it all, and I just want you to know that first and foremost, I'm okay, and second of all, I'm ready to go and just thank you so much for all the love and support that you're showing and thank you to the entire Dancing with the Stars team. You're taking such good care of me. So we will see you next Tuesday out on the ballroom."

Bertsten concluded the video with another message of love for the fans, saying, "We love you guys, thank you."

Hendrix previously explained that she injured her ribs during the pair's "Defying Gravity" routine. She and Bersten danced to the climactic song from the hit stage musical and now-Academy Award-nominated film series during last week's "Wicked Night," during which they received a 36 for their efforts.

While Hendrix made a stunning visual recreating the stage musical's showstopping trick of soaring into the air via wires and pullies, the move didn't fare well for her when she came down to Earth.

"I injured my ribs during 'Defying Gravity,' and today they just seized up and I couldn't move," Hendrix explained to fans in a video addressing her absence. She further shared that her doctor assured her that "with a day or two of rest, I should be able to return."

A video from rehearsals prior to Hendrix's injury showed Hendrix and Bersten working on their Argentine tango for the show's Halloween Night, showing the moment in which "all the sudden, Elaine kind of throws, and she can't move and can't breathe and something happened with her rib," Bersten explained.

During Tuesday's live episode, Bersten represented the pair in the ballroom for their *Mad Max: Fury Road-*inspired routine, and they were judged on their rehearsal. All four judges — Cheryl Burke was a guest judge — awarded the duo 8s for a total of 32.

With the pair surviving this week's eliminations, they're set to return to the show next week.

*Dancing With the Stars* airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and Disney+, and streams the next day on Hulu.**

- Famke Janssen is now, basically, a pop star, having recorded a professional single and music video for the Dutch Netflix drama *Amsterdam Empire*.

- The actress talks about how "tough" it was to train in singing and dancing to pull it off.

- "Betty is so unapologetically who she is," she says of her character.

"Pour toujours, pour toujours / Forever pour toujours." The song is such an earworm, you'll likely hum it to yourself in the days after watching Netflix's *Amsterdam Empire*, a new Dutch drama starring Famke Janssen.

The actress of *X-Men*, *Taken*, and *GoldenEye* portrays Betty Jonkers, marking her first time acting in Dutch since leaving the Netherlands to pursue modeling in her teens. Story wise, this ex-pop diva is out to steal her former husband's thriving marijuana coffee shop business after he left her for a younger woman he impregnated.

Among Betty's claims to fame is a hit 1990s single called "Forever Pour Toujours." Janssen and Netherlands-based musician Palmbomen (a.k.a. Kai Hugo) professionally recorded and released the song through Netflix music. The star then also shot a music video.

"Isn't it so catchy? It's hilarious, I know," Janssen tells **. "While we were filming, I was being trained for singing and dancing to make the video. And I kept pushing it, going, 'I'm so busy. Can we do it at the end of the shoot?' I thought, 'I need more time.' I love to dance. Trust me, it's one of my hobbies, but I've never been trained."

Betty Jonkers (Famke Janssen) rolls up to the Amsterdam Music Awards on 'Amsterdam Empire'.

She also doesn't consider herself a professional singer, even though "Forever Pour Toujours" is now on Apple Music and Spotify. She remembers, however, singing karaoke with the cast of *X-Men*, including James Marsden, who played Cyclops to her Jean Grey and previously commented on his costar's "beautiful" singing voice.

Janssen remembers being in Tokyo with Marsden and his wife, Lisa Linde, where they would hit the karaoke bars. "I'm not speaking out of turn, she knew this: She had a terrible voice, he had the most incredible voice," she recalls. "They would do duets together and stuff like that. It was hilarious. But I've always been incredibly intimidated by singing."

Famke Janssen details her struggles with fame: 'The press always wins'

James Marsden calls 'Avengers: Doomsday' return a homecoming to 'X-Men' role

She worked with choreographer Vincent Vianen, whom she describes as "meticulous" with the '90s-inspired movements. "It was tough. He had to be tough on me and he had to be very strict and firm," Janssen says. "I practiced. All day, whenever I was on set, people would see me in the background doing small moves."

The Running Man was one such dance move she had to learn, since the video took inspiration from '90s hip-hop. "We started doing it on a slower speed in the beginning," she remembers. "Just try to do the Running Man. Do it at normal speed and then do it at the speed of the song ["Forever Pour Toujours"]. It was a challenge, but I did it."

Famke Janssen on 'Amsterdam Empire'.

The tone of *Amsterdam Empire* is an enjoyable concoction of *Breaking Bad*-esque drama (instead of blue meth, it's weed) but also *Real Housewives*-level camp. In one of her more soapy, theatrical moments, Janssen's Betty arrives by boat to the Amsterdam Music Awards to upend a big work moment for her ex's new lover.

Nico Moolenaar, Bart Uytdenhouwen, and Piet Matthys created *Amsterdam Empire*, which Janssen also executive produces with Moolenaar. She says they were very specific in terms of the sought-after vibe. Janssen saw the character as a celebrity who believes music was a big part of her life once upon a time, even though it was a relatively small component in reality.

"Betty is so unapologetically who she is," Janssen describes, "claiming space, asking for attention, dressing big, all of that. It's not at all the way I am in life. Just because of the fact that she was this one-hit wonder and she can't quite let go of it, there is that larger-than-life campy aspect to her personality, but I wanted to ground it in reality."

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.***

Technically, Betty isn't a one-hit wonder. Janssen confirms she recorded multiple songs for *Amsterdam Empire*. "They kept throwing things at me, like, 'Did you wanna go to the studio?' And I go, 'Sure! Let's do it.'"

Look out for that album release!

*Amsterdam Empire* is available now on Netfllix.**

In a mission that perhaps no one saw coming, NASA has issued a response to Kim Kardashian alleging that the historic 1969 moon landing was fake.

After the 45-year-old businesswoman and reality star said on Thursday's episode of *The Kardashians* that Buzz Aldrin's trip to the moon was staged, NASA replied on social media after ** reached out to the agency for comment.

"Yes, @KimKardashian, we've been to the Moon before… 6 times!" wrote NASA acting administrator Sean Duffy.

He then pointed to the Artemis mission, which is "going back under the leadership" of President Donald Trump.**** "We won the last space race and we will win this one too," Duffy concluded.

EW has reached out to a representative for Kardashian for a response.

On Thursday's *Kardashians* episode, the star is shown on the set of her upcoming TV series *All's Fair*, attempting to persuade costar Sarah Paulson that Aldrin didn't actually land on the moon.**

She then reads text from an interview with Aldrin, telling Paulson that the 95-year-old has "gotten old and now he like, slurs."

"So, I think it didn't happen," Kardashian continues, with Paulson telling her that she's "going to go on a massive deep dive" into the topic.**

Later, in a confessional, Kardashian says, "I center conspiracies all the time," before the show cuts to her in her trailer, where she doubles down: "I don't think we did. I think it was fake," she asserts.

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our EW Dispatch newsletter.*****

In a Reuters report addressing speculation that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was faked, the agency indicates that "social media users are sharing a video of astronaut Buzz Aldrin being interviewed by American television host Conan O'Brien and claiming that Aldrin discussing parts of the moon landing broadcasts being animated is proof that it was all faked." The outlet notes that the astronaut was instead "referring to animations used by broadcasters at the time in their coverage of the moon landing, intercut with real footage. The moon landing did take place and men did walk on the moon."

*The Kardashians* streams Thursdays on Hulu.**

Katherine Pierce's season 1 arrival in Mystic Falls changed everything for *The Vampire Diaries*… and for actress Nina Dobrev. Suddenly, Dobrev went from playing Katherine occasionally in flashbacks to pulling full-time double duty on the series as present-day Katherine and, of course, Elena.

"The first episode was just a couple flashbacks, and then they introduced her more and more, so I got to figure her out over the first season, and then season 2, once she was back and in the flesh and she was in a lot more of the episodes, it was crazy schedule-wise shooting both of the roles," Dobrev says in episode 2 of *EW's Binge: The Vampire Diaries*.

But Katherine's arrival didn't just make things crazy behind the scenes. Within the world of the show, the doppelgänger instantly created chaos, particularly for Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena. Katherine's goal was simple: She wanted the happy couple to split.

Stefan and Elena tried to fool her at first, but when that didn't work, Jenna (Sara Canning) ended up in the hospital, and Stefan and Elena were forced to realize that Katherine always gets her way. The result was one of the series' most devastating breakup scenes, which Wesley still remembers vividly.

Paul Wesley on 'The Vampire Diaries'. The CW

"I remember doing at least four [takes] that were, like, pretty good," Wesley says on the podcast. "I also was dealing with a couple things in my personal life, so I didn't really want to go to dark places because I was trying to keep my head above water in real life, frankly. And so [director John] Behring kept pushing me. Maybe he sensed I was going through something and so he really wanted that on screen, and I remember just getting a little bit angry at him, even though it was his job. I would do the same as a director. When you're creating film or television, the whole point of it is to be honest and pure."

Ultimately, Wesley says he went to his "personal place" and channeled real-life emotion for the heartbreaking scene. "That crying, that whole breakup was [me] dealing with my own stuff, essentially, on screen. And then I remember after we shot it I was a little relieved, but then also a little bit angry that I had to deal with that and then I had to go home and deal with that," Wesley says. "But at the end of the day, it's on screen, it works so great for the scene, and I would do it again in a heartbeat."

The Atlanta Braves have just been told a nightmarish scenario. With the off-season underway, the Braves must address the shortstop spot before it's too late. There are two ways this could go. Ideally, they'd secure Ha-Seong Kim on a new deal before he tests the market. However, given the warnings they've received about Kim this weekend, it's tough to predict what direction the Braves will take. They could still target Bo Bichette, but that move's starting to look unlikely now.

Sportscaster David O'Brien said that Ha-Seong Kim is almost certain to decline his $16M player option for 2026. That means the Atlanta Braves will need to come up with a strong long-term offer to keep him.

He's the best shortstop option out there. Considering that Bo Bichette's defensive struggles are likely pushing him to another position. All the while, Atlanta's need at shortstop is getting hard to ignore.

In the next campaign, they can't rely on the rest of the lineup to consistently cover for Nick Allen's weak bat.

At 27, Bo Bichette will likely be chasing a contract close to $200 million. There's no doubt he can hit, yet injuries this season and ongoing defensive struggles have held him back. As Eric Cole from HTHB also noted, when you factor in the price tag and his defensive issues, signing Bichette could turn out to be a costly mistake for the Braves.

Atlanta's shortstops haven't provided much offense lately, but defense is still key up the middle. That's where Bichette falls short; his game is built more around hitting than fielding at this point.

And when it comes to Kim, the Braves have a very short window to strike a deal before other teams jump in. It's all on the general manager and president of baseball operations for the Atlanta Braves, Alex Anthopoulos.

He should be able to put together an offer tempting enough to keep Kim from testing free agency. If the Braves can't land Ha-Seong Kim after all, it'll be interesting to see how they pivot and fill that void. More so, if Bo Bichette somehow decides to stay in Toronto.

Is Bo Bichette's chapter in Toronto coming to an end?

Bo Bichette's longtime teammate and close friend, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., shared his thoughts on Bichette after Game 7 of the World Series. "I would love to finish my career playing with him, but it's free agency."

Guerrero said in the early hours of Sunday morning. Right after the Blue Jays' heartbreaking extra-innings Game 7 loss to the Dodgers in the World Series. "He has got to go do his thing and do what he has to do to go get his money." Vladdy added.

For the record, many teams across MLB are expected to chase Bo Bichette this offseason. His situation has quickly become one of the biggest storylines for the Blue Jays' front office. And it won't come without tough decisions and criticism.

Bichette is the standout among the Blue Jays' upcoming free agents, a group that also includes Chris Bassitt and Max Scherzer. After hitting a clutch three-run homer in Game 7, nearly sealing a World Series win, Bichette's about to secure a massive payday.

Toronto could be in the mix, too. "I've said I want to be here from the beginning. I want to be here, but I just played Game 7." Bo Bichette said after Saturday's tough Game 7 loss.
