I have always seen writing music as a pastime I had the good fortune to pursue, and I still enjoy it immensely. I’ll always be a songwriter.

The Grammy-winning Canadian singer, whose hits include Promiscuous, Maneater, and Say It Right, has spent much of the past year returning to stages around the world after Tiktok fuelled a wave of renewed interest in her music.

Nelly described her unexpected resumption as “surreal and joyful” to have so many people rediscover my music. It’s been a blast to take advantage of this chance, seeing the true, lasting power of good music again, and taking it all in. It has given me a strong belief in magic.

Nelly also expressed gratitude to fans and collaborators who supported her in pursuing musical talent in her post. She wrote, “I’m grateful for all the years of fun, community, and wonder.”

Endless gratitude to everyone who has ever listened to my music, danced, or performed at any of my shows. I admire your sincere heart.

“I sincerely thank everyone who has contributed so much to helping me realize my pop-dreams on a creative and organizational level. I want to thank all of my devoted supporters and brilliant collaborators. I also wish for the upcoming generation of performers many years of engaged and passionate performance.

The singer wrote in a quote from her early career that she had seen at Berlin’s Citadel Music Festival, “The second slide is me in Berlin this summer finally understanding what receiving flowers means. Goodnight and thanks! Nelly”.

The singer’s decision comes after a busy year of performing. Over the summer, she made headlines for her striking performance at Manchester Pride, where she turned heads in a playful ‘skinny’ optical illusion T-shirt which was emblazoned with the words “Whoa Nelly” in reference to her debut album.

The appearance was a cheeky nod to her critics, who had expressed concern for her changing appearance. Nelly previously promoted body positivity and self-love in response to body-damaging comments made online.

She said at the time, “This year I completely unveiled the aesthetic pressure of my work.” While at the same time, I developed new inner self-assurance and self-love.

Fans have spotted several telling signs that the members aren’t on good terms, leading to reports of a feud between a hugely popular boyband.

Whispers surrounding The Wanted bandmates have been circulating since Nathan Sykes publicly cast doubt over a reunion including him and Jay McGuiness. At the time back in March this year, the singer, who tied the knot earlier this month, explained that it would not feel right to perform as a four piece band instead of five, following the tragic death of Tom Parker in 2022.

Fans have since learned that the bandmates are still feuding after Max George and Nathan Sykes unfollowed one another on social media, but now they are persuaded.

Taking to Reddit, one fan wrote: “Not to sound parasocial or anything, but for some context, I have been a fan of The Wanted since 2012. I have been following all 5 of them on Instagram from 2014 before their breakup.”

The fan continued, “I vividly recall that most of them unfollowed each other, and specifically Max unfollowing them all, and then of course, all of them followed one another back after Tom announced his diagnosis.

They continued, “I couldn’t help but check to see if the boys were all following each other and couldn’t help but notice Max and Nathan unfollowing each other.” I wonder if there is any conflict between them, “lol.”

The band’s members first gained notoriety in 2009 before splitting up in 2014. However, Siva Kaneswaran and Max decided to resurrect in honor of their dear bandmate after Tom’s tragic passing three years ago, naming their duo The Wanted 2.0.

Another user added: “I’ve always suspected Max and Nathan had a falling out before they broke up the first time.”

A third person responded, “It’s a real shame because I adored Nathan and Max’s interactions.” Around two years ago, Nathan used to make comments on Max’s Instagram posts. They continued, “They haven’t followed one another in a very long time.”

“I believe there is some beef there, but I’m not sure what.” “Siva and Max recently performed in Las Vegas. However, neither Jay nor Nathan made an appearance.

In a private ceremony earlier this month, Nathan tied the knot with his fiance Charlotte Burke. However, Jay was the only one who was present, Max or Siva.

in a discussion with OK! Nathan explained why they didn’t invite his bandmates. We haven’t spoken in a while, so I’m not sure if they would have known the wedding date. We haven’t had the opportunity to [catch up] because they were out in America at the time, but I’m confident we will.

After Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s romance rekindled, Paris Fury has said she would be interested in organizing their wedding.

Paris, 34, is married to Tommy’s brother and boxing icon Tyson Fury, 37, and says she is experienced enough to ensure that when the pair are ready to tie the knot she makes it a spectacular affair. Molly, 26, and Tommy, 26, reconciled their relationship earlier this year after a brief split.

Molly has stated that their relationship is still “not perfect” and that she is not “feeling ready” to start wearing her engagement ring once more while they are back together. But Paris, the mother-of-seven, is still planning how she will assist them in planning their wedding when the time is right.

She told Closer: “I’m going to recommend that to Molly-Mae and say: ‘You should hire me as your wedding planner.’ No, seriously, I do think I’ve got great experience with it now. I’ve been there and done it when I was younger, I’ve done it a few years ago, and then I just done it this year.”

In a massive ceremony attended by more than 300 guests, Paris and Tyson tied the knot in Doncaster. Then, in New York, they exchanged new vows during a second bash. Then, this summer, they made the decision to renew their vows in a low-key ceremony in the South of France, with only their children present as witnesses.

After her daughter Venezuela got engaged when her 16-year-old boxer boyfriend Noah Price proposed to her at her 16th birthday party, Paris now has another chance to organize a wedding. After asking dad Tyson to pop the question, Noah kneed down and gave her a “white gold, diamond band, and a diamond solitaire.”

Venezuela and Noah won’t be able to share their wedding day with Tommy and Molly-Mae, according to Paris. She responded, “Oh no, I can’t see it happening.” They won’t likely have a double wedding, in my opinion. A niece and an auntie getting married on the same day, in my opinion, would be strange. It would be nice to attend both weddings.

After her troubled relationship with Tommy, Molly-Mae recently revealed that she needed to take a prescription medication to treat her extreme anxiety. Molly-Mae: Behind It All, her tell-all reality TV show, recently re-aired on Prime Video for a second series.

Before she hangs up, Molly-Mae speaks to Tommy on the phone while he is out. She then discusses how their relationship has progressed, but she can only become upset when he mentions drinking.

She then explained that because of the extreme anxiety she was experiencing when the relationship was at its worst, she had been using beta blockers. She continued, “Even though Tommy and I have been so much better and we’ve been progressing so much, there are still things that really make me feel so strongly, like when I hear the word alcohol. I’m tense, shaken, and extremely anxious.

When Tommy and our relationship aren’t in top shape or when there is a problem, it’s just all that bothersome for me. I had a panic attack, and I was reportedly sick. Oh God, I was like, “This is not good.” Like, this is really bad because my body is essentially coping with anxiety without coping with it.

She continued, “Yes, it was awful. because I was so anxious, I needed beta blockers.

Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell has fired back at online trolls with a defiant dance video just days after her emotional exit from the BBC competition.

The professional dancer, 36, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Joe Sugg, took to Instagram to silence critics who suggested she should stop performing while pregnant.

Dianne danced ferociously around her home in the video, even attempting a cartwheel. For all the people who complain that they can’t watch a pregnant girl dance, she captioned the video. When I hear the beat, I can’t stop thinking.

Fans applauded her decision to stay active while anticipating and immediately flooded the comments with praise and heart emojis. One follower praised the coolness of having your baby boy dance along with him. You’re just so admirable for showing that women can still do what they love while they’re pregnant.

Another added: “You go Gurl! I danced professionally (Contemporary) through most of my pregnancy & loved it though at 7 months decided it was enough for me. You do what feels right for you if you and your baby are healthy & you’re happy that’s all that matters. Women’s bodies are extraordinary.”

Her post came after a wave of speculation surrounding her and dance partner Stefan Dennis’s early exit from Strictly. The Neighbours legend, 66, was forced to withdraw from the competition earlier this week after tearing his calf muscle during rehearsals.

However, some cruel viewers suggested the decision had been pre-planned to protect Dianne during her pregnancy. She has furiously denied this claim.

Dianne shared a fan’s comment on her Instagram accounts, which implied that Dianne had made the decision on purpose. “To be honest, I saw this coming, Dianne couldn’t really continue especially when she gets bigger, bless her,” the message read. “I think this was planned to keep her and her baby safe.

Dianne clapped back, saying, “I sound like a broken record, but I’m seeing a little bit of this floating around again!” Why should I, I know, but some people say to ignore it?

She continued, “I will speak up… I would prefer to dance this week, the following week, and the following week.” I actually have more energy this year than I did last year. Respect Stefan, who is so devastated he won’t be able to dance, and stop making the mistaken impression that this was a set-up! Because, “If we could, we would,” I suppose.

Stefan described his disappointment with leaving the competition in an emotional statement following his exit. He continued, “Just as I had finally gained the confidence to do well in my dancing in the competition, I was told that I had torn my calf so badly that I was forced to leave the show. I can’t even express how devastated I am.

On her podcast Winning Isn’t Everything, Dianne later admitted that she will struggle with being in the ballroom. She stated, “I think I’ll struggle more now that I’m off, and I genuinely believe that because that’s when I felt my worst, both mentally and physically,”

A woman visited her neighborhood charity shop and discovered a pair of £13.50 black leather ankle boots, but when she turned them over and discovered the label, she “could not believe her eyes.”

A bargain-hunting shopper “hit the jackpot” after purchasing a pair of boots and checking the price later discovered a coveted brand imprinted on the underside of them. Discounted clothing, shoes, books, home goods, accessories, and more can be found in charity shops.

One woman really lucked out when she was drawn to a pair of black leather combat boots in her neighborhood store, which cost $ 17.99 (£13.52). It’s been likened to finding “the holy grail” when spotting designer goods in one of these stores. When she opened them, she noticed a distinctive red sole, which is instantly recognized in Christian Louboutin footwear, as well as its well-known logo, which confirms the brand.

Christian Louboutin is renowned for rekindling a love of stilettos in the 1990s as well as for creating enduring, flirtatious, and glamorous on-trend clothing. The company also sells a variety of shoes and boots in a variety of designs, in addition to its well-known high heels.

After purchasing the designer ankle boots on Reddit, the woman expressed her joy. She wrote, “I didn’t think I would ever score big enough to post here, but I hit the jackpot with these!” Along with a carousel of images displaying the shoes in all their glory, she wrote: “Didn’t think I would ever score big enough… but I hit the jackpot with these!”

Pick these up because I thought they were cute and realized how lovely the leather was. I had to decide to purchase the brand, but I was unsure of my perceptions.

The En Hiver Lug Low ankle boots from Christian Louboutin are currently priced at £1,260.

The website for Christian Louboutin includes the statement, “Women’s ankle boots embody a fusion of sophistication and boldness, offering a range of styles from daring platforms to sleek stilettos, and edgy biker boots.

Each pair features the recognizable red sole, which perfectly reflects the Maison’s original vision, and is expertly crafted from the finest leathers.

Other Reddit users were eager to share their opinions in the comments section. Someone said, “Those are some nice boots, sir.” In a mock internal monologue. Good stitching, The soles are red, so why? Wait… That’s some weird cursive… Lou… WELL DAMN”.

Another person expressed their happiness for the other, “friend, I don’t know you.” That is a FIND, a third person said. How well do they fit together? They appear fantastic.

The original poster stated that the items “fit perfectly” and that she “ran” the purchase process at the till. This is the kind of find I’d check out and leave, a Reddit user said. I would be so satisfied that I wouldn’t even need to thrift anymore.

Another joke was made about “the way my jaw dripped!” I have witnessed your service to others, Lord.

Another person referred to them as “wow, Louboutins that I could wear without breaking my heart.” New item from the Holy Grail.

Despite their ongoing battle, David and Victoria Beckham, who are also known as “the parents,” made a quick gesture on social media to show their support for their son Brooklyn Beckham.

David and Victoria Beckham appear to be trying to mend the rift with their eldest son Brooklyn Beckham after making a gesture.

Brooklyn, 26, shared a new video to Instagram showing off his culinary skills as he made buttermilk pancakes to the soundtrack of Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight.

His famous parents then “liked” the clip showing their support for him, despite months of him being absent from his family. Both Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham were notably absent when Victoria debuted her hit Netflix documentary earlier this month.

They snubbed the show’s premiere and kept quiet on social media after the premiere. Additionally, they skipped her enormous Paris Fashion Week show, which the entire family watched in support of her.

When David celebrated his 50th birthday earlier this year, he missed both his massive star-studded bash in the UK and his party in Brooklyn and Nicola, leaving the Beckham’s heartbroken. Despite doing so in previous years, he also failed to pay any kind of social media tribute to either parent on their birthdays.

According to insiders close to the family, Victoria and David have “accepted they won’t see Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.” Without his assistance, Brooklyn’s brothers have been pursuing their own careers in public.

Cruz has followed in his mother Victoria’s footsteps and has been making music and performing in various venues in London, while Romeo, 23, is pursuing a modeling career. Harper, the daughter of Victoria and David, is 14 years old and shares her mother’s love for fashion and beauty.

Victoria recently spoke out about her children being branded with the “nepo baby” tag, telling The Sun “it’s not their fault, give them a chance.” She shared: “Cruz has got music coming out soon. He’s spent the last ten years learning his craft — much like I did with Roland — learning to play instruments. He taught himself to play about seven instruments. He writes his own songs, he’s put a band together.

He “has done it from the ground up,” he says. He hasn’t just sung his songs or demanded anything from anyone. I mean, I really can’t give him any advice because the industry has drastically changed. Victoria continued, “Not to” expect immediate success, adding: “It’s almost better if it’s not an immediate success.

It took me 20 years to get it to where it is, she continued, citing her own experience. You must begin small and build up. And that’s exactly what he’s doing: playing small venues without any fuss, doing what he wants to do.

Victoria gushed about her son’s “so proud” of her. Then, she criticized the nepo baby tag, claiming that he “is a nepo.” I mean, I have feelings for these children who are viewed as nepotistic.

The children are simply the children of their parents, she then said. They are not to blame for it. Give them a chance. People should be kind and decent, not what matters.

She came to the conclusion that being ambitious is fine, but being kind is more important. Before you decide, let the music speak for itself.
