Princess chose to wear her hair straight and opted for a natural makeup look for the major Hollywood premiere.. Meanwhile Peter, 52, and brother Junior, 19, attended in classic black suits for the event, with the family taking pictures in front of a Mission Impossible prop plane before heading in to see the movie.

The Andres attended for what is set to be the last-ever Mission Impossible film, with ‘The Final Reckoning’ rolling out across UK cinemas on May 23. The blockbuster has been beset by lengthy, costly, delays.

Yet the film, which the Mail reports cost nearly $400 million to make, has also been met with widespread praise. Critics have described the action flick as “astonishing,” with one reviewer describing it as the “action film of the summer.”

Many have highly praised 62-year-old Tom Cruise’s typically high-intensity performance, which translates well in the expansive IMAX format, giving the star more space on screen to show off the film series’ usual insane stunts and action scenes.

Cruise is renowned for pulling off his own high-octane stunts in the Mission Impossible series, with the final instalment being no different. Despite being in his 60s, in one ‘Final Reckoning’ stunt the Hollywood star can be seen dangling from a helicopter, thousands of feet above the ground.

He then drops from the aircraft, falling backwards towards the earth.

Film critic Anthony Gagliardi heaped praise on the series’ final instalment, writing: Tom Cruise defies all odds with jaw-dropping action built only for Imax.

Chatter linked Justin Bieber to the explosive Sean Combs – P Diddy – trial, held as the rapper is accused of a string of depraved crimes, including racketeering conspiracy

Troubled singer Justin Bieber has insisted he was not targeted by rapper P Diddy.

Bieber, whose had four UK number ones, said widespread fears shared by fans he was a victim of the music mogul “detracts [focus] from the justice these victims rightfully deserve” in a statement released on Thursday. It came in response to speculation the singer, 31, may have been abused by Diddy during his early years in the music industry – although this is not an allegation for which the rapper stands trial.

A video of the pair resurfaced last year and was described by some Bieber fans as “disturbing”. It showed Combs and Bieber, who was a minor at the time, hanging out for “48 hours”. The pair also worked together on Diddy’s album The Love Album: Off the Grid, released in September 2023.

But the spokesperson for Bieber said in a statement, published by TMZ, reads: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.” Sources also informed TMZ on Thursday the Coming Home rapper never abused Bieber in any way.

The insiders stated the interactions in the video were simply “performative” – and explained Bieber was closer to the rapper’s sons rather than Combs, who is 24 years his senior.

Combs, who has won three Grammy Awards, was last year arrested in the state of New York on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which he has denied. Bieber was reportedly “so disturbed by the Diddy news”.

A source told Mail Online at the time: “Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off… So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him. Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to. He was featured on Diddy’s most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it.”

The arrest came just one year after The Love Album: Off the Grid was released. It quickly became Diddy’s fifth top ten on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

But now the 55-year-old star stands trial in New York City, accused of a number of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex ­trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. The father of seven denies each of these.

The 65-year-old TV presenter had nothing but positive things to say about the team of medical professionals – but she gave a special mention to one doctor who helped her through the last few days

TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has shared a sweet message to the doctors involved in her emergency surgery and recovery.

The star has been recovering after having her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed in a “purely preventative” surgery, leaving her followers sending their good wishes.

According to the NHS, the bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) operation is a common surgery that takes 40-60 minutes. It can help women with ovarian cysts in the perimenopausal age group manage pain or prevent the onset of ovarian cancer. Almost two weeks after her surgery, Lorraine took to Instagram to confirm her return to work.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, May 15 Lorraine shared an image of her alongside her grandaughter Billie and Gynaecologist Ahmed Raafat. She captioned the post: “I had my check up l today and the fabulous @ahmed_raafat_gynaecologist_ says I can go back to work on Monday – as long as I take it easy. Billie obviously loved him. Huge thanks to Mr Rafaat and his top team who’ve chosen to work here and help us – from countries like Croatia, Nepal and all over Europe, Africa and the Caribbean – what on earth would we do without you.

One of her followers wrote: “So glad to hear you are better, and you are right our NHS and care system owe a debt of gratitude to overseas workers,” while another said: “Billie makes everything better! Good to hear you’re back on your feet.” TV presenter Katie Piper also commented: ” Lovely to see you smiling.”

Earlier this month, Lorraine took to her social media to a personal update with fans. She told followers: “Just wanted to let you know I’m having a wee procedure today. I’ve not been feeling all that well for a little while, so I had some scans and tests, and I have to have my ovaries and my tubes taken out.

“It’s purely preventative. It’s going to be with keyhole surgery, which is incredible. I’m being very well looked after, and I’ll obviously see you really soon, and I’m gonna be totally fine.” After a few days, the star told fans she was “recovering well,” as she celebrated a huge milestone for her ITV show.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, the star penned: “Thanx for all your lovely messages I’m recovering well. So proud of my top team – punching above our weight and bucking the trend. Just heard our ratings are up – we had the highest March for four years. Thanks @vixkennedy and the gang! Always know how to cheer me up.”

P Diddy, who has won three Grammy Awards, faces a number of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex ­trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution

P Diddy’s comment to his lawyer was caught on a hot mic in court during his trial yesterday.

The 55-year-old rapper told Anna Estevao he was “proud” of her work, a remark he appeared to understand would go unnoticed in the courtroom in New York City. However, it became public in the hushed environment as it was caught on one of the room’s hot mics. It is thought the device was on when it seemed Diddy believed it to be off.

The moment happened after Ms Estevao had launched her cross-examination of former partner Cassie Ventura, confronting her with intimate messages from her 11-year relationship with Diddy, real name Sean Combs.

The questioning, it is understood, aimed to establish a mutual emotional bond between the pair, with Ms Estevao suggesting Ms Ventura “knew the real Sean — a version he won’t let the rest of the world see.”

At one point, Ms Estevao read from a 2017 message Ms Ventura sent to Combs: “Please don’t play victim. That’s all you wanted and that’s why I was upset. I love our FOs when we both want it.” The defence appeared focused on casting their sexual encounters as consensual.

One heated exchange in the courtroom on Thursday sawthe lawyer state: “You and Mr Combs were in love for 11 years, right?”

“Yeah,” the woman replied. She was asked: “You loved him,” to which she said: “I did.” When asked if she believed the musician loved her, Ms Ventura said: “Yes.”

It was after this exchange when Diddy, who has won three Grammy Awards, told his lawyer he was “proud” of her interrogation. He stands trial accused of a number of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex ­trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

During Thursday’s proceedings, Ms Ventura also told the court Combs noticed the negative effects her drug use was having on her and encouraged her to see a doctor. She said there were moments when he expressed concern for her mental health.

In a striking revelation, Ms Ventura confirmed Combs himself suffered an overdose on opiate painkillers while at the Playboy Mansion in 2012. At the time, the incident was widely reported, with TMZ citing an “extreme migraine” as the reason for his hospitalisation. Following this testimony, Judge Arun Subramanian called a brief recess in the New York City courtroom.

When it resumed, Ms Ventura said she and Diddy had taken MDMA or ecstasy together previously. When Ms Estevao asked whether she had ever experienced “bad” MDMA before, Ms Ventura acknowledged, “Yes, you get sick.” Ms Estevao then questioned whether the drugs taken that day may have been a “bad batch” of MDMA — a line of questioning that drew an objection from the prosecution.
