Meghan Markle may have thought she’d be the guest of honour when she arrived at reality royalty Kris Jenner’s star-studded 70th birthday bash but as fans were keen to point out, it was far from the case

Meghan Markle’s latest public outing has seen her apparently ‘snubbed’ by the matriarch of the Kardashian Family. Prince Harry’s wife, 44 – who is rumoured to be returning to acting after a 9-year hiatus – was snapped as she arrived at Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday bash, which had a 007 theme, on Saturday at Jeff Bezos’s Beverly Hills estate.

Arriving hand in hand with her husband, both dressed in black, Meghan – looking chic in a sleek black long-sleeved top paired with a floor-length matching skirt, flashed a megawatt grin as she walked into the private event alongside Harry, who kept it classic in a black tuxedo, complete with poppy – though her other half seemed less animated to be there. But it was what happened – or didn’t happen – post-event that got royal watchers talking.

Following the party, which apparently guests were told would be a private event, with no TV cameras present, momager Kris shared a series of pictures from the event on Instagram, along with the caption, “Magical night celebrating my 70th birthday with beautiful family and friends”, Kris posted 20 pictures of the night.

And a host of famous faces, including the likes of crooner Maria Carey, could be seen in a reel of glamorous snaps celebrating Kris”s milestone birthday, which was just days before on November 5 – but Meghan and Harry were nowhere to be seen in any of them.

Fans online were quick to notice the omission. One slammed, “Wonder if she was invited. Another article said that she attended a second event hosted by Serena on the same evening. Did Megs crash the …” and another added: “Oh the shade! I am here for it!! [cry-laughing emoji].”

Another online commentator penned, “How did the toxic two get invited, as they are not even D listers, did they need …” while a third wrote, “maybe jenner is worried she will get another basket of lemons and whatever else wifey …” Yet another commented: “This speaks volumes, they were not their focus at all.”

The Beverly Hills bash drew pretty much every A-lister you could imagine. Aside from the areas’ famous royal couple, in attendance included Oprah Winfrey, Adele, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg – with Bruno Mars performing live.

And the star-studded attendees clearly enjoyed themselves a little too much, as police were called to Jeff Bezos’s estate after complaints about loud music and disturbances.

It’s not the first time Meghan, who lives in Montecito with Harry and their son Archie and daughter Lilibet, has been linked to the world-famous Kardashians, however. Back in Auguast, the Duchess sent the family a specially-selected package of products from her lifestyle brand, As Ever – including a crate of rosé for Kris.

Kris subsequently posted the gift on her Instagram Stories with the caption, “Thank you @megan @aseverofficial,” with a string of brown heart emojis.

Adam Peaty has been accused of ‘forgetting where he comes from’ as it’s claimed his sister Bethany is now the only member of his family attending his wedding next month

Adam Peaty’s mum has reportedly been banned from his wedding to Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly next month. The bitter feud is said to have started after Adam’s mum Caroline wasn’t invited to Holly’s swanky hen do at Soho Farmhouse.

This was despite Holly’s own mother Tana Ramsay being included, as well as close family friend Victoria Beckham. But her future mother-in-law was apparently snubbed from the family event.

Instead the 59-year-old is said to have stayed at home in Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, to look after her five-year-old grandson George, who Olympic swimmer Adam shares with his ex Eirianedd Munro. While Adam invited future father-in-law Gordon, also 59, to his stag do.

Caroline’s sister – and Adam’s aunt – Louise Williams, has since vented her anger at 25-year-old Holly, who she accused her of being “divisive and hurtful” in a public social media post. This is thought to have upset influencer Holly, who has been dating Adam, 30, for more than two years.

Writing on Instagram, Louise blasted Holly over the snub to Caroline, who she says “opened her home and heart to you”, claiming it had inflicted “a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever”.

In a dig at Holly, she posted: “@hollyramsayy I’m so glad that you had a great hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman, who I have loved and continue to love deeply.

“A woman who opened her home and heart to you. You decided, for whatever reason, not to invite her, your prospective mother-in-law to your hen night yet Adam invited his father-in-law, your dad, to his stag night. You invited your mum (quite rightly) and even your mum’s assistant, your sisters, your friends, my niece, but not my sister, your future mother-in-law.

“I have also seen messages passing between her and Adam about this and other matters and, quite frankly, I expected better of you and definitely of Adam. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”

A source said to be close to Adam’s working class family claimed the snub happened after the Olympic gold medallist – who wouldn’t have a career without his hard working parents steering him to glory – became “seduced by the fame and glamour of the Ramsays”.

After his aunt’s post, MailOnline reports that Adam sent his “heartbroken” mother – who he was once very close to – a message banning her from the wedding which is due to take place at Bath Abbey over Christmas.

He is also said to have stated his intentions to disown his family in messages seen by the publication and said his mum would not see his son George or any future grandchildren ever again.

Though the rift between Adam and his mother – who used to get up at 4am to drive him to swimming practice before going to work herself – is said to have been brewing ever since Adam began dating Holly.

It’s said that initially Caroline and her husband were invited to the wedding, along with other family members, and she excitedly bought a dress. But Adam and Holly reportedly didn’t like it so offered to buy her a new one they did approve of.

Adam is thought to have paid for his parents to visit Bath on the train to go shopping, which they accepted, but the trip couldn’t happen due to the train stabbings in Huntingdon two weeks ago.

A source told the Mail that instead of rearranging the trip “Adam went mad” saying they had “wasted his money” and he “wouldn’t be able to get a refund” despite the fact he is a millionaire.

Caroline’s kind offer to get involved in the wedding and make table setting name plates, as she is good at crafts, were also said to have been declined by Holly and Adam – and she was apparently told her help was “not needed”.

The source said: “Adam has changed so much since he’s been with Holly. She comes from a celebrity world, while his parents do not, and his ego and self-importance have grown. He’s no longer the lovely boy next door we all remember. It’s partly because Adam doesn’t feel his family is good enough for the new one he is now part of.

“Caroline is devastated by the rift and doesn’t know what she has done wrong. Adam’s relationship with his mum and dad Mark are at an all-time low, and now she’s not coming to the wedding.

“‘They feel that Adam started to grow distant from his family after he met Holly and they started to become more serious. There is a feeling that money is an issue. His family are working class and proud – it’s a stark contrast to the Ramsay family and some members of the family have said it feels like Adam is ashamed of them.”

Now it’s thought that only Adam’s sister Bethany is attending the wedding as nobody else in the family can afford the hotel costs. And it doesn’t sound like Adam has stepped in to foot the bill.

Caroline has responded to the fall out in her own Instagram post which said: “Crying is a way your eyes speak when your mouth can’t explain how broken your heart is.” The Mirror has contacted reps for Holly and Adam for further comment on this story.

While Kylie Jenner looked stunning as ever at her mum, Kris Jenner’s, 70th birthday, reports claim she is going through a breakup as Timothee Chalamet has ‘dumped’ her

The youngest of the Kardashian sisters, Kylie Jenner, has reportedly been dumped by her boyfriend, Wonka actor Timothée Chalamet, following a two and a half year relationship. Reports have surfaced on their split following Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday bash, where Kylie reportedly looked ‘lonely’ and Timothée was nowhere to be seen.

Kylie, 28, and Timothée, 29, have remained relatively private about their romance since first being linked in April 2023, but have attended many high-profile events together.

While Timothée didn’t attend Kris’ birthday party, many other A-list celebs were in attendance. Snaps from the evening included photos of Beyonce and her husband Jay-Z, Prince Harry and Meghan and Justin and Hailey Bieber. The part was held at Jeff Bezos’ mansion in Beverley Hills.

While Kylie Jenner looked stunning as ever in a plunging, backless white gown, sources have claimed that she is currently going through heartbreak as Timothée has reportedly ‘broken up’ with Kylie.

A source told the Daily Mail: “This has happened before – but she talked him into getting back together. She is crazy about him so that could well happen again.”

Another source claimed to the publication: “There is trouble in paradise, but they aren’t completely over. He is filming quite a bit, and she feels that she has to chase him. She is putting in the work more than him.”

The reports follow after Timothée appeared to take a swipe at Kylie during a Vouge cover shoot where he said he didn’t talk about his relationship as there wasn’t ‘anything to say’.

Timothée’s absence didn’t stop Kris Jenner from having an amazing time at her party. The James Bond theme bash saw her transform into the ultimate Bond girl. She wrote on Instagram: “I am beyond blessed and so very grateful for my precious family and friends”.

Kris embraced the 007 theme and danced the night away in a stunning red gown. She shared photos of herself clinking glasses with Mariah Carey, while other guests like Mark Zuckerberg, Paris Hilton, and Martha Stewart enjoyed the festivities.

They all enjoyed a surprise performance from Bruno Mars as Kris shared her celebrations with her six kids, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Kendall Jenner.

Meghan and Harry opted for a classic look with a black tuxedo, a white shirt and a bow tie to honor the party’s James Bond theme.

He also wore a poppy in honor of Remembrance Day, a memorial day observed on November 11 to recall the end of the First World War and remember armed forces members who died in the line of duty.

The Kardashian-Jenner family has been in full celebration mode recently, having just returned from celebrating Kendall Jenner’s 30th birthday.

Katie Price has criticised Myleene Klass for being given an MBE, suggesting that she doesn’t know why the musician and women’s health campaigner was given the honour by King Charles

Katie Price has launched a blistering rant against British musician and singer Myleene Klass over her MBE. Myleene, 47, was awarded an MBE earlier this year for services to women’s health including raising awareness of miscarriage care and trying to support those affected by the experience.

However, Katie, also 47, has slammed the decision. Speaking to Closer UK, she said: “I’m not against this for her, but why the f*** has Myleene Klass got an MBE? For playing the classical piano? This industry is so corrupt. They have the same managers, they’re all clones – they all win MBEs and are fronting TV. But behind the scenes, they’re worse than we are. Turds are what they are!”

The former Page 3 model has never been afraid to speak her mind about fellow celebrities in the past, with the likes of Jodie Marsh previously facing her wrath.

Meanwhile, while Myleene may have made her name in the world of music, she has since spoken about how campaigning for women’s health helped her find her identity.

The musician, who has been open about suffering from four miscarriages during her life, has helped raise the profile of the issue to get more women the health they need.

Appearing on the Paul C Bronson podcast, We Need To Talk, she talked about her journey to campaigning after her second miscarriage.

She said: “I mean, I didn’t plan on campaigning when I was lying in that bed after, I think the second miscarriage was worse than the first, I didn’t think that was possible.

“I didn’t even think it was possible that the first I thought was just awful. One of those things that people dismiss. The second one was that I thought, we have a problem.

“And by three and four I was tail spinning. I didn’t even know who I was. I was just hell bent on trying to keep a baby but didn’t know how to.”

Myleene also touched on how she realised it was not just the women’s responsibility to ensure the health of the child in pregnancy, but the man’s as well.

She explained: “This is not just the women’s responsibility. If you want to have a healthy child, you have to take on as much of a burden, privilege, however you want to approach this, but your health plays as big a role, if not in some certain cases, more. If you’re not looking out for yourself and your wife is, yes, you’re creating a problem for her.”

Taking to Instagram following the awarding of her MBE by King Charles, she said: “Today I received my MBE for services to Women’s Health, Miscarriage Awareness and to charity.

“I am utterly overjoyed and humbled. Having my family there and our rainbow baby boy was extra magical in what has at times been a very dark journey for us all.

“The string quartet played a classical version of the Carpenters ‘I’m on top of the world’ as I walked up to receive my honour and King Charles himself pinned my medal on me whilst asking how my work with @tommys and their graded model of care is progressing.”

The TV star, 41, performed six key movements as part of her workout routine last week

Sara Davies has shared some of her go-to exercises for toning ‘flabby arms’ after nearly a year of strength training. The Dragons’ Den star typically changes her workout routine each week, but revealed a few specific movements she performs with her personal trainer.

In a post to Instagram yesterday, she said: “I got a lot of love for my flabby arms exercises and loads of people asked if I’d share more of my workouts, so here’s one that @east.fit.pt did with me last week. We usually do a new workout every week with compound movements that work opposing muscle groups.

“I’ll repeat that one a few times during the week, then we switch it up the next week.” The 41-year-old star explained that she performed six key movements as part of a simple 20-minute routine last week.

This began with six offset squats on each leg, followed by 12 kettlebell deadlifts and 20 kettlebell swings. Afterwards, Sara committed to eight single-arm rows before a few push-ups and ‘bear crawls’.

The final movement simply involves crawling along the ground on your hands and feet, similar to how a bear walks. Sara continued: “Bear in mind I’ve been doing strength training for almost a year now, so I’ve built up to some heavier weights, but just use whatever feels comfortable for you. This session takes me about 20 minutes.”

She then added: “These moves give you real bang for your buck as they work multiple muscle groups, build strength, and get your heart rate up too.”

If you’re short on time, Sara said it’s still worth starting the routine to see how much you can accomplish within a set period. “Consistency beats perfect every time,” she said.

Sara’s post follows her recent lifestyle overhaul, with the star now embracing a variety of wholesome cooking and healthy living habits. According to the Mirror, she revealed last year that her dress size dropped from 16 to 12 after significant weight loss, but has since stressed there’s no ‘magic pill’ to achieve it all overnight.

Amidst this, the Dragons’ Den star recently warned that fraudsters have been using her name to promote ‘slimming pills’ in sketchy social media scams. Earlier this year, she said: “There are dozens of them going round and every day I’m hearing anecdotally from different friends, ‘So and so has asked me to get you to check with Sara if those slimming pills she’s invested in are any good’.

“Honestly, I’m devastated – the thought that people are getting scammed out of so much money, or worse, they could actually send for something and be ingesting some random pills when they don’t know what’s in them…. And people are doing it because they think I said it was good – it boils my blood!”

With this in mind, Sara previously advised her followers to watch for any suspicious social media posts. If something ‘looks a bit fishy’, it likely is. She continued: “I was always told – if it looks a bit fishy and smells a bit fishy it’s probably a scam and keep well away – so PLEASE – tell as many people as you can, share this post, tell your friends, can we just make sure everyone knows this is all a load of rubbish and a total scam.

“And I mean c’mon – some of this AI-generated imagery… it doesn’t even look like me! I’ll keep sharing my healthy eating nutrition recipes, my strength class exercises, and my running tips – all the stuff I’ve actually done to lose weight and tone up the last few years – because trust me there’s not a magic pill that will just do it for you!”

The 1987 war film is directed and produced by legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and is considered to be one of the greatest war films of all time – now it’s on Netflix.

View 3 Images

A 1987 war film – regarded as one of the finest ever made – is now available to stream on Netflix.

Helmed and produced by the legendary Stanley Kubrick, Full Metal Jacket draws from Gustav Hasford’s 1979 autobiographical novel, The Short-Timers, with a screenplay crafted by Hasford, Michael Herr, and Kubrick himself. The film’s title refers to the full metal jacket ammunition used by military personnel. It marked the final picture from the visionary director to be released during his lifetime.

Working with a production budget of $16.5-30 million, Full Metal Jacket raked in an impressive $120 million at the worldwide box office. Garnering extensive critical praise, the war drama secured an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, alongside two BAFTA nods.

The official synopsis reads: “Stanley Kubrick’s take on the Vietnam War follows smart-aleck Private Davis, quickly christened “Joker” by his foul-mouthed drill sergeant, and pudgy Private Lawrence, nicknamed “Gomer Pyle,” as they endure the rigors of basic training. Though Pyle takes a frightening detour, Joker graduates to the Marine Corps and is sent to Vietnam as a journalist, covering – and eventually participating in – the bloody Battle of Hué.”

Full Metal Jacket features Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Adam Baldwin, Vincent D’Onofrio, Arliss Howard, and Dorian Harewood. During casting, Kubrick employed videotapes for auditions, attracting over 3,000 submissions. Following his team’s initial screening, he personally examined the final 800 recordings to select his outstanding ensemble.

The film’s principal photography occurred across Cambridgeshire, the Norfolk Broads, and various East London locations including the Isle of Dogs, Millennium Mills, and Beckton Gas Works in Newham, reports the Express. Boasting a 94 per cent audience score and 90 per cent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Full Metal Jacket achieved remarkable success with both reviewers and audiences alike.

One critic said: “A hard-hitting movie laced with moments of dark humour and brimming with social commentary, Full Metal Jacket is viewed as one of the all-time great war movie.”

Another reviewer added: “Full Metal Jacket, produced, directed and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, is not an easy film to watch, but from the first frame to the last, it is a riveting one.”

A third assessment wrote: “Visually poetic, darkly humorous, uncompromisingly brutal, and subversive in every way, Full Metal Jacket is easily one of the best war movies without being remotely similar to your standard issue war flick.”

One enthusiast couldn’t contain their praise for the film, saying: “In my opinion, it’s the best movie I have ever seen so far in my life. Its ability to portray the nature of war is unparalleled to anything I have ever seen. Brutal, visceral and raw this movie has all the components necessary for a spectacular war epic.”

Another viewer wrote a glowing review, saying: “The most I can describe it as is an absolute masterpiece. I understand where some of the negativity comes from, and the movie is definitely not perfect but I genuinely could not look away from the screen when watching.

“The portrayal of war in this movie genuinely shocks me in the same way Saving Private Ryan did, both of them being great movies. If you ever get the chance to, please go watch this movie.”

And one fan simply summed it up as: “Cinematic brilliance and it will stick with you the rest of your life.”
