Goes Sale Rack Shopping - Kate Makes Magazine Cover

With all eyes turned to Miss Middleton, it's no wonder why the brunette beauty has landed another magazine cover.

This month, Kate Middleton graces the cover of the U.K.'s Tatler magazine in a clear homage to Andy Warhol. While it sounds like a great idea in theory, we have to admit, this sort of looks like someone spent an afternoon just toying with her photo in Paint, rather than really going for an authentic Warhol look. What do you think of the cover?

In other royal wedding news, Canada has released a statement saying there will not be a commemorative royal wedding stamp released. The Whig Standard reports that they always feature the "reigning monarch" on the stamps. Jim Phillips, director of stamp services, told the newspaper that they rarely deviate from that, noting exceptions in 1947 (for Queen Elizabeth's wedding), 2000 (for the Queen Mother's 100th birthday), and an expected 2012 celebratory stamp to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. (At least someone seems to be un-phased by the wedding...)

And finally, the Telegraph reports that the Queen will indeed have a daughter-in-law after her own heart. Both the Queen and Kate are apparently budget savvy shoppers, as Kate was spotted Tuesday scouring the sales racks at Peter Jones (the Chelsea branch of John Lewis, a U.K.-based department store). Said one employee, "Kate's been a PJ customer for years and she's told us that she'll continue to come here when she's married to William." Way to stay grounded, Kate!

And if you just can't get enough of the royal wedding, you're in luck! TLC will air a special documentary called William, Kate, and 8 Royal Weddings this Sunday at 10 p.m. (Has a familiar ring... right?) With anecdotes from former bridesmaids, interviews with dress designers and historians, and lots of archival footage, the documentary promises to take viewers behind-the-scenes at the last eight royal weddings and give commentary on what we can expect at the latest one.
