Loads of things happened towards the end of August.
So here are some of the celebrity stories that caught Carmen's eye this week...
1.
Adele comes to the aid of a fan who was almost thrown out of the building.
According to Pop Base on X, the 'Easy on Me' singer stopped performing at her Vegas residency to defend a fan from a security guard.
Many of her fans applauded her for defending her supporters. Carmen applauded the singer for doing this, which she thinks many other artists wouldn't have.
"I'm happy that one of these big artists was able to stand up to the security and help a fan terrified of getting chased out of the concert. I just wish more artists could follow the same procedure Adele did," says Carmen.

That is a phenomenal achievement, so congrats to Taylor and all her Swifty fanbase who absolutely love her. We wouldn't be surprised if she's working on re-recording another of her smash albums.

The Duke decided to surprise people.
According to ET News, The Duke of Sussex Prince Harry dropped in at a special screening of his upcoming Netflix docu-series, 'Heart of Invictus', in Chula Vista, California.
The report said Prince Harry attended the screening because he wanted to do something special for the USO. The Duke of Sussex greeted fans, which included active military, wounded warriors, and military family members.
This comes after the rumour mill said there could be a split between Meghan and Harry.
A spokesperson confirms that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “delighted to be attending” the @InvictusGamesDE 2023 in Düsseldorf next month.
