Pippa Middleton has been warned about getting a 'bad reputation' after her hectic partying in Paris.

Pippa, 27, rushed back to the Middleton home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, to seek advice from her mother Carole after being seen out with four different men in the French capital last weekend.

During one incident, her friend Romain Rabillard brandished what looked like a real gun at a photographer who was following them.

A family friend said: 'Pippa has been told to be careful of hanging out with too many male admirers as she could quickly get a bad reputation. But her family have stood by her.'


Artist Sophie Dickens, the great-great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, has created a special Olympics sculpture which is on display at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum.

The 45-year-old worked closely with the European Judo Union to create her version of a Morote Seoi Nage judo throw – but fortunately Sophie did not have to perform it herself in order to cast the bronze.

'I had to watch a lot of judo bouts and meet the athletes but thank goodness I didn't have to do a throw, or get thrown,' she says.

'Two experts demonstrated for me over and over again. It looked agonising.'

But their perseverance obviously paid off – Sophie reports that one of the participants will be competing at the Games this summer.



Prince Harry's pal Goldie is getting into the spirit of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee – by painting a portrait of Her Majesty.

The DJ, famous for his gold teeth, says: 'None of the previous works of her have inspired me, so I want to do something that's urban and cheeky but respectful.

The odd couple: The DJ and the Prince struck up an unlikely friendship

'I haven't told Harry about it  yet but I will – and I'll invite him  to an exhibition of my work in September.'

The 46-year-old would also like to mark the Jubilee with a rather unusual event.

'I want to celebrate properly – maybe with a rave,' he told me at a private viewing of Royal Portraits at The Ritz in London.

I think it is a bit late for this warning. She already has a bad reputation.

With a brother who constantly does interviews, a sister who goes to every high profile posh event and parents who don't seem to understand the concept of a trademark Kate is in big trouble!

Pippa seems like Fun! and a sweetheart! ... If she ever comes to L.A., me and my boys would be glad to show her around. ... And don't worry, we'll make sure to 'guard her honor.'..... (I just hope she likes a Honda.. .. and Drive-thru)

'Might' get a bad reputation. And at 27, she should be well 'raised' by now. The dye has been cast I would think.

Who cares really? I remember Princess Margaret used to party like there was no tomorrow and have lots of different men hanging off her and she was royal 'blood'. Nobody stopped her in her life and she was the Queens sister, Leave her royal hotness alone! She is a young girl and can do what she wants.......LOL

I'm not a big fan of Pippa she needs to get a real job In all fairness to her trash tabloids have blown this NON ISSUE totally out of proportion French police refused to file ANY charges Pippa NOT reprimanded by French legal authorities Fake toy gun It did not belong to Pippa Man who pointed it owned it Pippa barely knew him very slight aquaintence Pippa found innocent of any wrong doing by French police Every person in car found innocent by French authorities IMHO yet another overblown non-issue puffed up by trash tabloids to sell publications & trash TV presenters trying to increase their ratings Pippa is not a woman of any accomplishment except graduating from college She is an idle socialite who does not have a real job- but in all fairness to her, this is a NON ISSUE and not a scandal 400 photos a day of a woman who is not of that much interest to the public. Enough already!

Pippa has taken her reputation to the precipice of disrepute if she hasn't already taken the plunge. A young woman seen with so many men whose emotional and intellectual development is permanently arrested at the age of fifteen isn't going to be considered wife material by any decent man. Furthermore, a woman smiling as she watches a gun being pointed at someone looks like a fool, it doesn't matter who she is. A year ago Pippa became famous worldwide and much sought after. With continued poor choices, she is going to turn into a cautionary tale.
