News about Mindy Kaling

The Duchess of Sussex has sent out 50 jars of jam from the first batch, many of which have gone to her exclusive Montecito pals - but who is in the running for the top five jars? As Instagram posts trickle in showing the ruby-red jam set amid bright yellow lemons, fans are able to paint a picture of the type of customer Meghan wishes to appeal to - but which lucky people received the very first jars of the product?

The Duchess of Sussex was unable to fulfil her ambitions within the Royal Family . Now, she seems to be struggling to achieve them outside it as well. Meghan has failed to find a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for her new cooking and lifestyle business, American Riviera Orchard, despite having interviewed several candidates for the position and having began the search five weeks ago. 'The initial CEO search has not panned out so far,' a California-based source said. And her apparent difficulties have led to an intriguing new development: Meghan has begun negotiations with Netflix about the American streaming giant entering into a commercial partnership with American Riviera Orchard.

Made from strawberries grown in her sun-drenched Californian garden, decanted into jars with handwritten labels, and delivered in bountiful presentation baskets to an elite group of friends and influencers, this is no ordinary jam. For almost two weeks now, the debut product from American Riviera Orchard, Meghan Markle 's elusive new lifestyle brand, has been making waves on social media. Jars have been appearing on the Instagram profiles of her nearest and dearest, including comedian Mindy Kaling , polo player Nacho Figueras and actress Abigail Spencer , who trilled 'This jam is my jam' - and draped herself over a jar for a fawning al fresco photoshoot. No, not names we would recognise here, but let's face it, we are not her target audience.

EXCLUSIVE: The Duchess of Sussex strategically sent out jars the strawberry preserve, made from fruit grown in the Californian enclave of Montecito, to a specially-selected group of friends and celebrities. Over the past week and a half, however, there have only been a trickle of posts, with just eight of the 50 'jamfluencers' sharing a snap of the product to fans on social media.

Some such as Netflix star Mindy Kaling , her Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and parenting campaigner Kelly McKee Zajfen took to social media, sharing pictures of the preserve nestled in a hamper. Others, such as actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy have spoken out to openly defend the Duchess, calling her 'inspiring' women suffering 'hate' for getting on with 'her own life'. Despite the beaming pictures and words of praise from some, others have been notably missing from the clamour surrounding Meghan's new business.

Mindy Kaling and Tracee Ellis Ross have revealed they are among the exclusive group to have received the first 50 jars from Meghan's first batch of jam in Instagram posts. Other recipients have revealed themselves as Meghan's fellow 'polo wife ' Delfina Blaquier, fashion designer Tracy Robbins and the Duchess's close friend of many years, Kelly McKee Zajfen.

2023 has some great TV shows, as every year, but it has also had some duds. Rotten Tomatoes has ranked which television shows are the worst in terms of its percentage rating system, called the Tomatometer. If the majority of a series's critic or audience reviews are negative, it'll bring down this number. If a TV show has a rating lower than 60%, it is regarded as a'splat' rating. These shows, whether it be crime drama, adult animated series, or a superhero movie, they have one thing in common: both critics and audiences were not fans. Some of these titles have even made news because of their controversial plotlines, including Lily-Rose Depp's The Idol, which starred Lily-Rose Depp in The Weeknd.
