My So-Called Life's AJ Langer has a lil' Lord on her hands!

Langer, who gave birth to Jack Haydon Langer Courtenay on August 16th, is prepping her newborn for the title of "Lord Devon", for which Jack is second in line!

AJ's husband, Charlie Courtenay, is the son and heir of the Earl of Devon!

Talk about being born into a privileged fam!

Langer had no clue about Courtenay's lineage when the two in a Vegas bar back in 2004: "We met in a bar in Vegas… He didn't know I was an actress. I didn't know he had a castle."

What a tradeoff!

The (former?) actress is prepping a move to Devon.

Warning: Beware of Joss Stone! She inhabits those parts.

The men responsible for stealing a memory stick with pHOtos of Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton on vacation have been sentenced!

Charlie Ewins and Leon Sesay, who claimed to have found the memory stick "in a gutter", were offered over $40,000 by UK tabloid The Sun for the snapshots in August of 2008.

When the dummies demanded double the $$$$$ for the pics from the Royals' vacay on a Caribbean island, the folks at The Sun reported the thieves to the police!

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

"You are essentially fools for whom things have spiralled out of control," stated the legal counsel during last week's trial.

Both Ewins and Sesay have been slapped with 100 hours of community service each, as well as $200 in court fees.

Hey, at least they're not going to jail!

Sweden's Princess Madeleine will soon have her own prince! Sorta.

The 27-year-old Princess Madeleine, who's actually third in line to the throne, has just gotten engaged to her 30-year-old boyfriend, attorney Jonas Bergstrom.

And considering the two have been dating for about seven years, this was a long time coming!

Though it seems Madeleine isn't the only royal who loves the commoners.

We mentioned earlier this year that her older sis, Crown Princess Victoria, got engaged to some personal trainer/gym chain owner.

But if their courtship lasted seven years before getting engaged, maybe that means there's still hope for Chelsea Davy Kate Middleton to marry a royal.

As for Princess Madeleine, no wedding date has yet to be set. Though we bet it'll be pricey and elaborate!

What a complete and utter waste of taxpayers' money.

Back in the 12th century, the royal family began a tradition known as Swan Upping, where all the swans on the River Thames were counted. Back then, it was to know how many birds they had to eat that year!

900 years later, if you are looking for some wings, you can just head to KFC, but her majesty, Queen Elizabeth, thinks that the tradition is still relevant. And so, it will be some guys' jobs to row up the Thames for five days and count, weigh, and measure swans and cygnets.

Talk about a shitty job!

They get a spiffy names, though- Swan Marker & Swan Warden.

Bet their moms are super proud!

This year, Queen Elizabeth has decided to join them for part of the census and visit a local school who is doing project on the subject of swans, cygnets and the Thames.

Guess there isn't much for the Queen to be doing these days if she has time for this crap!

It seems that the Queen's spending has become too big for her publicly supported britches!

Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family cost British taxpayers $1.14 each last year!

Not too bad until you realize the the cost of the family totaled to $68.6 million this year, which increased by $2.48 million from the previous year.

Public funds are used to pay travel expenses, along with the operation and staffing of homes in the royal family, including Buckingham Palace.

Travel costs rose this year as royal family needed to charter commercial aircraft for overseas visits.

We're sure they don't travel light either!!!!

The Queen visited Slovenia and Slovakia last year, while Prince Charles toured countries including Japan and Indonesia.

Also, it cost $661,302 to relaunch the royal family's Web site along with hiring a staff to run it!

We wonder how much the Queen checks the royal email?!

"Very obviously they have no regard for public finances at all. There's no reason why the queen can't be paid a salary and a few million be spent on the staff," said Graham Smith, campaign manager for Republic, an anti-monarchy group.

The accounts showed that cleaning royal homes cost $496,000, food bills ran to $827,209 and garden parties cost a total of $661,302.

Elizabeth receives $13.09 million of public money each year to pay for basics, but she used an extra $9.9 million from a reserve fund.

The Queen will negotiate her budget again in 2010, but if she continues to use money from her reserve fund at the current rate, she'll run out of funds by 2012!

If the people are on a budget, so should the monarch!

Prince Charles' wife, Camila The Duchess of Cornwall, took a trip to Ashwick to tour the Exmoor Pony Centre and visit with the staff, supporters, and volunteers, on Tuesday.

The lovely Camilla even took some time to pose with her sister for a photo.

The resemblance is uncanny!

We're just grateful Camilla and Charles are too old to have children.

Could you imagine what their kids would look like?!?

The Queen is probably pleased as punch this blonde got the royal boot!

Chelsea Davy, ex-girlfriend of Prince Harry, was seen Thursday night standing outside Raffles Club in London. She took the time to talk to some skeevy guy outside while she sucked on a cancer stick and finally took her sorry ass home at 2 AM.

Is she trying to keep her hair out of her face so she doesn't get any vomit on it when she pukes in the cab?

BTW, Chelsea, give Lindsay Lohan a call. She is in town and we bet you two would have an awesome time together.

Kindred souls, we think!
