All tag results for 'knighthood'

WTF?! We didn't even know you could do this!

During last night's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Scott Disick did pretty much the most HIGHlarious, AH-mazing thing ever by using his trip to London with Kim, Kanye West, and Jonathan Cheban as an excuse to become BRITISH ROYALTY!

That's right, Kourtney's baby daddy² is now officially LORD Kourtney's Baby Daddy²!

Apparently, he purchased the title over the internet beforehand, but that didn't stop him from partaking in an authentic knighting ceremony!

He said during the episode:

"She is like all the fashion designers put together in an ever on-going fashion show. She has been someone who promoted fashion in a way it really needed. Gaga deserves a knighthood or whatever the equivalent would be for the service she’s done for fashion."

What an honor!

Professor X Patrick Stewart now gets to make everyone call him Sir, even if they don't want to, because he has been officially knighted by Queen Elizabeth II!

He says:

"It was an unlooked-for honor but as I grew up as a child, falling in love with the theatre and Shakespeare, my heroes were Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir John Gielgud, Sir Alec Guinness. The knights of the theater represented to me not only the pinnacle of the profession but the esteem in which the profession was held. And now to find myself, to my astonishment, in that company is the grandest thing that has professionally happened to me."

Congratulations are certainly in order for you, Sir!

If you hear the sound of an ego inflating this morning, no worries, it's just Simon Cowell.

Simon, by order of the Queen, will be receiving knighthood next month. He was recommended to be put on the Queen's Birthday Honours list by former prime minster Gordon Brown, who sited the music mogul's numerous charity ventures and his contributions to the British recording industry.

Brilliant! Congrats!
