Prince Albert of Monaco and his sisters Princess Caroline and Princess Stephanie have slammed the new Grace Kelly biopic starring Nicole Kidman.
Prince Albert was reportedly sent scripts before filming began last fall, but now the royal family have issued a statement saying they do not support the film and that they had no part in making it.
"We have had absolutely no association with this project which is claims to be about the lives of our parents," they said in a statement. "For us, this film does not constitute a biographical work, but portrays only a part of her life and has been pointlessly glamored, and contains important historical inaccuracies as well as scenes of pure fiction."
Kelly, who was one of the world's biggest movie stars, married Albert's father in 1956 and became Princess Grace of Monaco, and in 1982 she died in a car crash. Kidman plays Kelly, and the film focuses on her life in the 1960s and how she helped her husband reform Monaco's tax laws.
Kidman said recently of the movie, "What really interested me about this film is how it covers Grace's transition from film star to Princess in 1962. It reveals her great humanity but also her fears and frailties as she leaves her career behind."

We applaud him for speaking publicly about it!
Honey Boo Boo's uncle Lee Thompson, who is affectionately known as Uncle Poodle, has revealed he's HIV-positive.
The reality star opens up about contracting the virus in a new interview with Atlanta gay magazine Fenuxe.
"I was adamant about getting my HIV status checked on a regular basis. On March 16, 2012, I tested negative. Then, in May of 2012 my test results came back positive. I knew it had been my boyfriend who infected me," he explained.
Apparently his partner was aware he carried the disease and didn't tell Thompson, nor did he take any precautions to prevent transmitting it.
"I later learned he had been HIV positive and was not taking medication and had not bothered to tell me about it. I was advised that I should press charges and, hesitantly, I did. It was the right thing to do," he added.

Robsten has called it quits again, folks!
Rob Pattinson recently broke it off with Kristen Stewart after fighting nonstop over the holidays, The Sun reports.
The British actor reconciled with his Twilight co-star after her highly publicized cheating scandal with Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders last year, but the pressure he was getting from friends and family to ditch her finally motivated him to split with the brunette beauty.
"He was getting so much pressure to ditch her. His friends told him to focus on his career and said she was wrecking his chances," a source told the publication.
The On The Road star had plans to attend the Golden Globes with her beau, but he reportedly told her he wanted to "cool off."
The 22-year-old actress is taking the news surprisingly well, actually!
"Kristen's upset but understands. She shouldn't have pushed him to reconcile after her infidelity. She's hoping he'll come round and time will be a great healer," a source adds.
R-Patz will remain at his L.A. home, while K-Stew is said to be considering a move to New York, where she believes she is afforded more privacy.

Because I was going through a lot of hormonal changes, trying to get back to the old, vibrant Jessica. You know, it was kind of like a one-night stand. And it happened, all over again!"
Whoa .. TMI! Before announcing she was pregnant with a second child, Maxwell's mom had lost more than 50 pounds with Weight Watchers.

This is one way of getting publicity for your next project!
Geri Halliwell is back in the studio recording her upcoming fourth album, and the former Spice Girl must have really gotten hot belting out the new tunes, because she decided to strip down to her bra and tweet this sexy pic!
Let's home this album is better than her last one! The fiery rehead's Passion peaked at #41 in the U.K. upon its release in 2005.
We wonder if she will have Scary or Sporty Spice make a cameo on her one of the tracks!
