Sideshow: The royals are among us

The royals are here! The royals are here!

Prince William and Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

, are in California, to the delight of celebrities and commoners alike in the U.S. of A. Will and Kate touched down in L.A. Friday afternoon for a weekend visit after wowing Canadians during a visit to that northern U.S. suburb (wait . . . says here Canada is its own country . . . can somebody check that?). Us mag reports that on Saturday the newlyweds will attend a charity polo match in Santa Barbara, Calif., where actress

Rosario Dawson

will be, along with actors

Orlando Bloom

and

Alex Pettyfer,

and actresses/models

Zoe Saldana

and

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

. Prince William will play in the match while Kate will hand out prizes. They also are expected to be at a weekend bash in L.A. to honor the British film industry. Rumored guests include

Jennifer Lopez

,

Marc Anthony

,

Nicole Kidman

, and

Tom Hanks

. Ah, the glittering brilliance of them all.

What better way to celebrate the week of Independence Day than catching up on how the divorce of

Arnold Schwarzenegger

and

Maria Shriver

is progressing? Why, there could be no better way, considering how icky Arnold is. Celebrity gossip website TMZ has said no prenup exists. (Imagine! With a trusting start like that, Arnold still strayed.) Now, TMZ says, the duo has decided that

he

will get the family's Brentwood, Calif., home.

She

is set to buy a house valued at about $10 million nearby. Yeah! Everyone will have multimillion-dollar shelter! Let the homeless rejoice!

The TV guy whose very visage oozes niceness is switching networks, according to TVNewser. CBS newsman

Harry Smith

will be strutting his stuff (OK, Harry doesn't strut) at the Peacock channel, reportedly to be part of NBC's new prime-time newsmagazine anchored by

Brian Williams

. Smith was at CBS for 25 years - a pretty good run these days for any employee.

Just so you know,

Twilight

heartthrob

Robert Pattinson

got a haircut, actress

Megan Fox

has not been Botox-ed, and

Victoria Beckham

has a glorious-looking, midriff-baring baby bump, as shown in a photo that her hubby, soccer star

David Beckham

, posted on Facebook this week with the note, "She looks amazing!" The photo shows Vic sunbathing, unaware her spouse was playing paparazzo. Actually, her spouse can play paparazzo with us anytime.

You didn't really think that the end of the

Casey Anthony

trial, with a jury finding her not guilty of murdering her 2-year-old daughter,

Caylee

, meant no more hysteria, didya, huh, didya? Like an oil slick sticks to pelicans (only we feel sorry for the pelicans), fallout from The Trial of the Ages clings to the nation no matter how many showers we take. Cable channel HLN's

Nancy Grace

is now defending her constant commentary on "Tot Mom" (she won't call the ex-defendant by name). In an interview with industry pub Broadcasting & Cable, Grace says the trial wasn't about herself or other media types - it was about Caylee. On the other side of the aisle, one of Casey's lawyers,

Cheney Mason

, told TMZ that the defense team toasted the verdict at a nearby restaurant. How so very classy, all of you. As our grandmothers said in the old country,

genug

already!
