Princess Beatrice welcomed her second child in January 2025 — and the baby’s name appeared to have a sweet nod to Queen Elizabeth II.

It’s become a trend for members of the royal family to name their newest arrivals after the late queen or her husband, Prince Philip. (Philip died on April 9, 2021, at the age of 99, while the queen died on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96.)

Martha Stewart Warns 'Snitches Get Stitches' in Uber Eats Super Bowl Ad

31 January 2025 at 05:31

Martha Stewart is in on the joke in her 2025 Super Bowl ad.

“This year, the Super Bowl is being played in a stadium named after a salad,” Stewart, 83, says in Us Weekly’s exclusive first look at the ad. “Coincidentally, I’m selling my Super Caesar Salad on Uber Eats. Is football a giant conspiracy invented to make you hungry? I’ll never tell … because snitches get stitches.”

Super Bowl LIX will be played between the Philadelphia Eagles and the reigning champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, early next month at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome. For any at-home watch parties, viewers can order Stewart’s salad via the Uber Eats app.

“As a fan of Uber Eats, football, and, of course, a perfectly tossed salad, I was thrilled to create the Super Caesar Salad and star in the Uber Eats Super Bowl ad,” Stewart exclusively told Us in a statement. “The connection between football and food is remarkable — can you believe the big game is being played in a stadium named after a salad?”

Martha Stewart Details What She's Learned by Decade

She added, “Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Plus, this was the perfect opportunity for me to just focus on my salad.”

Stewart’s hopes to “focus on [her] salad” is a nod to her now-infamous 2002 interview on The Early Show. At the time, Stewart was teaching viewers how to make a salad while the show host wanted to ask her about her then-ongoing legal battle.

“I have nothing to say on the matter and I’m really not at liberty to say,” she said at the time. “I think this will all be resolved in the very near future and I will be exonerated of any ridiculousness … and I want to focus on my salad because that’s why we’re here.”

Stewart was found guilty in 2004 on charges of conspiracy to obstruct and of making false statements to federal investigators and was sentenced to five months in jail and a two-year period of supervised release. The lifestyle guru was released from custody in March 2005.

Stewart will also team up with actor Matthew McConaughey for another Uber Eats spot during the big game, which was revealed on the Today show earlier on Thursday.

In the clip, Stewart instructed McConaughey, 55, how to make her Super Caesar Salad.

“I know what you’re up to,” McConaughey teased. “This is a super bowl [the ingredients are in]. Well, a super bowl is at Caesars to help you sell your caesars during the Super Bowl, is it now?”

Stewart then enthusiastically began chopping her lettuce before adding, “I just want to focus on my salad.”

Super Bowl LIX airs on Fox Sunday, February 9 starting at 6:30 pm. ET

What William Shatner Really Thinks About the New 'Star Trek' Franchises

William Shatner’s legacy as Captain Kirk has lived long and prospered for decades — and with every new Star Trek iteration, the actor is more and more in awe of the franchise.

“It’s phenomenal,” Shatner, 93, exclusively told Us Weekly of the resurgence of Star Trek and its modern adaptations on Monday, January 27. “It’s like [a] good seed being planted all over.”

He explained that the universe has “sufficient possibilities of growth” based on the storytelling. “Once some writers get a hold of it, they can invent all kinds of wondrous things,” the actor gushed.

Shatner — who will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 52nd Annual Saturn Awards Showcase on Sunday, February 2 — has been happily defined by Star Trek and its spinoffs for decades.

Leonard Nimoy and ‘Star Trek’ Costar William Shatner's Feud Explained

While he broke into acting in the 1950s, it was landing the role of futuristic space leader Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek series in 1966 that really put him on the map. Shatner’s career took off after portrayed the character for three seasons until the show’s end in 1969.

His legacy continued in the early 1970s when Shatner voiced Captain Kirk on Star Trek: The Animated Series from 1973 to 1974.

Shatner revived the iconic space leader in 1979 for the first big screen adaptation of the sci-fi series, Star Trek: The Motion Picture. He proceeded to star in six more Star Trek movies, including 1994’s Star Trek: Generations.

“Everybody wanted to make it larger in scope because it was transitioning from a small screen to a large screen,” Shatner recalled to Us of the decision to sign on for the movies. “So the script had an interesting novel idea where an instrument, a machine, is sent out as a probe from Earth to probe the universe. And it’s essentially captured by a machine planet that reverses it and follows it back to destroy earth.”

He remembered thinking the idea was “wonderful” and “advanced” for that time period.

The original TV series sparked 13 movies and 12 series over the past six decades. The “original series” movies are made up of six films that premiered from 1979 to 1991, all of which included Shatner as the star.

The “next generation” movies are comprised of four films that were released from 1994 to 2002. Shatner was part of the first installment. There are also three “Kelvin Timeline” movies that came out between 2009 and 2016.

“Nobody knew that 60 years later, you and I would be talking about it. This show is just phenomenal,” Shatner confessed. “It’ll be really in our lifetime, impossible to repeat, because it would take some entertainment to exist for 60 years from now to equal what Star Trek has done. We won’t be alive then.”

Shatner, who also voiced Captain Kirk in several video games over the years, noted it’s a “once in a lifetime experience” to be part of the Star Trek universe.

In addition to being an icon for Star Trek fans, Shatner is a Hollywood treasure due to his staying power and long career.

In celebration of his work, the actor will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 52nd Annual Saturn Awards Showcase on Sunday for continued fundraising efforts to benefit those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. (The L.A. wildfires — mainly the Palisades and Eaton Fires — started earlier this month and resulted in thousands of homes and structures being destroyed.)

“It’s an honor that I’m delighted to receive,” Shatner said of the accolade. “I believe I was in on the first one years ago and watched with delight how the organization has grown. For them to go back and do a lifetime achievement award. That’s great.”
