The late Ornella Vanoni. The Italian singer, known for hits like Senza Fine and L’appuntamento, died at the age of 91 after a seven-decade career.
Giorgia Meloni, the country’s prime minister, expressed her deep regret on X Saturday over the death of Antonio Vanoni, who had an “unmistakable voice” that had impacted Italian culture forever. Italy loses a distinctive artist who leaves behind an unrepeatable artistic legacy, Meloni said.
Vanoni passed away at her Milan home, according to Italian newspaper La Stampa, from cardiac arrest.
Vanoni became known as “The Lady of Italian Song” thanks to more than 100 albums released and sales exceeding 55 million copies, according to LaPresse newspaper.
When she passed away, the star was 91.
Vanoni, who was born in Milan in 1937, initially fell in love with theater, which led to Broadway productions in 1964.
However, she collaborated with some of Italy’s and the world’s most important songwriters in light of what LaPresse called a “highly personal and sophisticated performing style” and a “highly personal and sophisticated repertoire.”
The success of Vanoni’s professional and romantic relationship with well-known Genovese singer-songwriter Gino Paoli led to the 1961 hit “Senza Fine” (Without End).
According to Italy’s ANSA news agency, her later collaborations included working with artists like Gil Evans, Herbie Hancock, and George Benson.
Vanoni won numerous prestigious music festival prizes in Italy, including the nation’s most adored Sanremo Music Festival, where she fought eight times for second place in 1968 with the song “Casa Bianca.”
Her writing propelled her to the top of the list, earning her recognition when she twice won the prestigious Tenco Award, becoming the only Italian singer to ever be awarded the title as a songwriter and the only woman to do so twice.
Ornella was a singer as well as a songwriter (AP).
Her most notable commercial success was Erasmo and Roberto Carlos’ song “L’appuntamento,” an Italian adaptation of the Brazilian song “Sentado à beira do caminho.”
It was first released in 1970, but Steven Soderbergh’s soundtrack for Ocean’s Twelve helped her reach new heights and helped her reach other countries.
ANSA reported that Vanoni’s later work received a lot of attention as a guest on television because of her unpredictable character, extensive anecdotes collection, and “complete indifference to political correctness.”

After Kelly Brook was accused of being a “bully” by Kelly Osbourne, Gemma Daniels, who worked as a housekeeper at Kelly Brook’s former Kent farmhouse, made a statement on social media.
A woman who worked as Kelly Brook’s housekeeper for nine years has slammed Kelly Osbourne’s “bully” claims following a clash on I’m A Celebrity.
Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter leapt to her brother Jack’s defence after his campmate Kelly, 45, said he had pushed his way into taking over preparing the campmate’s dinner of eel. On the ITV show earlier this week, Jack offered to help Kelly after seeing she was gagging and retching over the smell while preparing the meal.
But despite accepting, Kelly later told the camera she felt Jack had “elbowed” his way into taking over the cooking for camp. Jack’s elder sister then took to her Instagram Stories to say: “Kelly Brook… I don’t think I like you.

With all the gagging and excessive drama, you’re so performative, “Elbow out of the way to get to the fish.” You give off the big sister vibes that I want to attack because I think a little bullied you.
Gemma Daniels, Kelly’s ex-girlfriend, defended the former model after her stepdad called the allegations “a load of rubbish”. I’m A Celeb is portraying the star in a false light, according to Gemma, who spent nearly ten years working at the star’s $1 million Kent farmhouse before selling it in 2023.
Gemma, who described herself as “just a girl from a council estate,” said on TikTok that she has never felt the need to fight for Kelly Brook more than she does now. She described Kelly as a truly lovely, down-to-earth woman who treated her well.

“I’m just a girl from a council estate and she trusted me and my team to come into the most amazing house,” the former housekeeper said. “Even when she wasn’t there a lot, I went every week to look after it, and she used to throw the cleaners and the gardeners a party every Christmas.”
She continued, “I’ve done a lot of things for people, some of whom are extremely wealthy and famous, but they’ve never done it for us.” All of us used to receive the most exquisite, thoughtful Christmas presents from her. When she would provide free items, she would inquire if we requested them. Nobody would do that, in my opinion.
There aren’t many people who would do that, but she knew we needed it. She allowed me to bring my children there because she didn’t need us there. On I’m a Celebrity, I believe she portrays her in a really bad way.
Gemma said Kelly’s house sold her, and she was moved by the gifts she received. She continued, “I hate it when she’s called a bully because she’s not, she was always really nice to gardeners.”
Many people praised Gemma for speaking out in support of Kelly in Gemma’s post’s comment section. One person wrote, “I don’t understand what Kelly Brook is doing wrong.” Another person referred to Kelly Brook as “fabulous”.
Kelly, who is now in her 40s, was an IT girl in her prime. Some women still feel threatened by her and try to drag her down, according to a third woman. She looks amazing, I mean! People should be aware that these programs are edited, so viewers won’t always see the full story. She sounds amazing, based on what you’ve said.
When he intervened on Wednesday and asked, “Would you like me to cut up the fish,” Kelly and Jack had an awkward conversation that led to her being called a “bully.” Kelly accepted the offer before saying in the Bush Telegraph: “I saw Jack coming over and elbowing me like a caveman to get to this fish,” she replied.
Kelly and Jack had a second potato-slicing incident on the show after he had previously criticized her for it while cooking a different meal. Although Jack had previously assumed the position of camp’s unofficial chef, Kelly and Jack had argued over how to properly prepare potatoes.

Kelly admitted that she felt “displaced” by Jack and that, “I’m not going to lie, I just felt a little lost last night.” She continued, “I just want to be so helpful; I’m just trying to find my place in the camp in terms of what to do.”
The Princess of Wales delivered a passionate and sincere speech that revealed her priorities and explained why she hopes to make significant changes for the better.

She made a stunning return to the red carpet for one of the biggest royal events of the year in what was a gloomy week for the Princess of Wales. She issued a rallying call to some of the country’s most powerful business leaders ahead of her glamorous night out with Prince William at the Royal Variety Performance to support, encourage, and enable employees to lead healthy lives at home, especially those with young children.
The princess was speaking at the Future Workforce Summit, hosted by her Royal Foundation Business Taskforce for Early Childhood, and it was her first major public speech since her cancer diagnosis. Kate, 43, passionately discussed “valuing time and tenderness just as much as productivity and success” at the Salesforce Tower event in London, and how profitability and “having a positive impact” on employees’ lives were not and should not be “incompatible.”

“Every one of you interacts with your own environment; a home, a family, a business, a workforce, a community,” she said. “These are the ecosystems that you yourselves help to weave. Imagine a world where each of these environments were built on valuing time and tenderness just as much as productivity and success.”
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond exclusively tells the Mirror that Kate’s words were particularly impactful and came from a deeply personal place. “I admire Catherine for practising what she preaches,” Jennie says. “I’m sure she fully understands the pressures that exist for many working parents, and means every word she says.
She has encouraged William to be a full-fledged father and is “a hands-on mum as much as she can be.” They have taken a lot of flak for using school holidays as family time, and they are obviously both incredibly fortunate to have some choice in this regard. But Catherine believes passionately that these early years in her children’s lives are by far the most important and formative.
She also spoke as a mother after her diagnosis, which added the pressure of managing her health. She is incredibly grateful for having the opportunity to prioritize her health and family, and there’s no denying that. Now she appears to be using her platform to highlight the good that she knows can come from that privilege, for the benefit of other parents and society as a whole. She holds incredibly dear to her heart about this cause.
The day after the summit, Kate enjoyed a night of glamour, show-stopping performances and the appearance of a very special little bear at the Royal Variety Performance. Following her and William’s absence last year, it was a welcome return to a more traditional royal diary.
The gleaming couple donned a coordinated velvet tuxedo while Kate wore a stunning floor-length velvet gown to the glittering Royal Albert Hall event. They appeared united and at ease as they watched the cast of Paddington The Musical take to the stage, along with pop star Jessie J and Grammy award-winning singer Laufey, to raise funds for the Royal Variety Charity.
Kate spoke with Price Tag singer Jessie J, 37, who had a mastectomy for breast cancer in June, later that evening, who added some extra sparkle with a pair of diamond earrings that Queen Elizabeth II received on her wedding day.
Jessie shared, “Mum to mum, who has just recently gone through cancer, I just wanted to give her a hug.” We acknowledged that it’s something that is not easy to go through, especially in the public eye”.
Olivia and Emelie Edwards, twins, 9, both of whom are nine years old, are also very special children. Their parents work at Brinsworth House, a care facility for entertainment workers supported by the Royal Variety Charity.
As she spoke to the girls about the Paddington performance, the princess revealed Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, were “very sad” not to have been allowed to accompany their parents on their night out.
She said, “My kids were very sad, and we’re going to have to keep it a big secret that I saw you guys.” They regretted not joining us, they said.
Kate’s attendance at the two major events was a clear sign that she is feeling strong enough to handle a busier workload, Jennie tells us, but she will no doubt still want to be around as much as possible for her children.
Jennie says, “She’s determined to be there for her own children as much as possible, and she wants business leaders to take a look at the work-life balance they provide for their employees, and we should all be grateful for that.
We’ll continue to get the balance wrong unless someone stands up and yells that work can be exhausting, especially now that we are contactable 24/7. Additionally, Catherine’s opinion is not exclusive. Her Foundation is providing evidence that children who are brought up in a nurturing and loving environment, where parents give them those most valuable assets that are time and love, are more emotionally secure in later life. “
Queen Elizabeth II, who vowed to dedicate her life to the service of the Commonwealth, has echoed Kate’s desire to leave a positive legacy from her royal status. She has also made it abundantly clear that her children won’t waste valuable time with their mothers. In the video update she shared in September 2024 to announce the end of her chemotherapy treatment, she spoke of finding a” new perspective”.
This time, in particular, has reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for life’s simple yet crucial things, which so many of us frequently disregard. Of simply loving and being loved, “she said.
Next year has a number of momentous milestones in store for the family. Prince George will complete his final year of primary education at Lambrook School, leaving behind his younger sister and brother. The first-born will also enter his teenage years, when he turns 13 on 22 July, before heading off to secondary school.
The topic of where he will continue his education has been much discussed, with questions swirling about whether Kate and William will break tradition and send him to a co-ed secondary, rather than as a boarder to Eton College like his father and uncle, Prince Harry.
The decision, according to Jennie, has already been made, and their new Forest Lodge home, which they moved from Adelaide Cottage earlier this month, has already undergone some changes.
William spoke recently of some familiar parental dilemmas, revealing that he and Kate have yet to allow George to have a mobile phone. He also stated that his days were filled with “play dates, a cab driver, sports days, games, playing in the garden whenever I can,” further demonstrating how compatible his and Kate’s parenting values are with one another while speaking to a journalist in Brazil during his most recent Earthshot Prize trip.
Jennie adds”, It is certainly a big year ahead, and as George becomes a teenager, it is very clear the children are their priority, and Kate especially wants to spend as much time with them as possible after her illness, and it is wonderful to see.
“I would assume that his new school has already been chosen. Personally, I believe that if he is going to be sent away to board would be a great shame, and that would contradict some of Catherine’s fundamental beliefs. On the other hand, she went to boarding school and seemed to enjoy it, so I suppose she feels ready to cross that bridge with George.

Jennie continues, “It’s getting easier to get past those memories of her illness right now, but I believe it has completely altered her outlook on life.” As she reminds us constantly, love and kindness, time and tenderness, are vital anchors in the lives of the young and the old, and the family is a wonderful example of that. “
Ellie Taylor, a star of Ted Lasso, claims that she still feels a pull after her 2022 starring role in Strictly, but that she would gladly step in if she was called.

Ellie Taylor is known for finding humour in life’s chaos, but even she isn’t immune to the occasional mum meltdown. “In the run-up to last Christmas, everything was frantic and I filmed myself eating an entire Chocolate Orange in Sainsbury’s car park,” the former Strictly Come Dancing star tells us.
“That was a sign of a woman on the edge.” A year on, Ellie, 41, is fronting an amusing campaign for Halfords that encourages parents to use their car as a sanctuary for self-care – or “self-car”. It’s based on recent research that found that half of UK drivers admit “hiding” in their vehicle to escape daily stress.
Because you’ve been wearing the same clothes for two days, you can simply stare out the window, listen to a podcast, scroll through your phone, or hide from your neighbors in your car, Ellie says.

“I love car time, because no one can get to me.” Ellie, who has a toddler son and a daughter of almost seven, has always been open about finding parenting tough, and our exclusive chat comes at a particularly frenetic time.
“I’ve been working while juggling my kids and husband’s been sick all week.” They both had to be in different locations this morning, and she admits that she felt like she had already lived a hundred lives before 8 a.m.
Many sluggish mothers will agree with that sentiment, but Ellie, author of the 2021 bestseller My Child And Other Mistakes, found motherhood to be particularly difficult during the first few months.
It’s just horrific, but I think it’s important to be able to say, “This is absolute b******t. It’s probably a combination of baby blues and postnatal depression. She claims that the baby is not the baby, but rather the baby. There was nothing, in my opinion, about it that was redeeming.
Thankfully, today’s life is much more orderly, but she still believes in being open about the difficulties mothers and fathers face. Because it’s so full-on, she says, “I can’t imagine being honest about it.”
You can sometimes take comfort in knowing that you are not alone and that your child isn’t the only one who leaves snot trails and wipes your nose on you, but it’s also joyful and gorgeous.
Ellie and her Australian husband, a former CNN reporter, have a solid routine at home. “I’m very fortunate,” He’s a great stay-at-home dad. Although it’s not always beautiful, we consistently deliver. Valentina, their daughter, has a younger daughter and is willing to help.
She’s nearly seven, so I’m asking, “Darling, can you get me a Diet Coke?” Although I don’t have yet faith in her with the kettle, Ellie jokes that she will be very helpful when she can make me cups of tea.
She is a really good girl and has been brilliant about how her crazy little brother has ruined her nice, organized life. She’s the best, and I adore spending time with her.
In terms of her and Phil’s distinct parenting styles, Ellie says, “I think I’m more a soft touch and lazier. For a simple life, I’ll say yes to things I know I shouldn’t. However, you may have to choose your battles depending on how tired you are.
Ellie is a regular on our screens as host of Bake Off: The Professionals, and made it to week 10 of Strictly in 2022 before she and Johannes Radebe were voted off.
She says, “I give him little pep talks because I know how grueling it can be,” and they are still in touch. He and Alex [Kingston] have done a fantastic job. Definitely a wonderful person, Jonnes. She claims that she once referred to him as the “best boyfriend.”
I instantly resembled Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman because of the flowers he gave me. Ellie can finally tune in after her Strictly stint, which will spare her from any agonizing flashbacks.
People frequently claim that watching your ex with a new girlfriend in the year follows. But now that I’m farther away, I can now go back and smile while also going, “I’m glad I don’t have to do that again.” Although I enjoyed it and had a great time, the theme music will always rekindle my interest.
Now there are two presenting jobs up for grabs, with Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman departing, would Ellie throw her hat in the ring? “Oh my goodness, of course!” she says.
“I don’t believe there is anyone in light entertainment who would refuse.” Whoever obtains those positions will be in such awe. If they need me, I’ll happily cut myself a fringe. or dye my hair a color of blonde. I’ll do it, whatever it takes.
Ellie is also known for her role as Sassy in Apple TV+ favourite Ted Lasso. “I feel so lucky to have been part of that,” she says. “It’s such a joyful show, with so much heart, and it keeps finding new audiences as older kids start watching it.” She still chats to castmate Hannah Waddingham – when she can pin her down. “She’s busy taking over the world. She’s doing so brilliantly.”
Like the rest of the country, Ellie was glued to The Celebrity Traitors recently. “The casting was brilliant and it was so nice to have that kind of telly where everyone was watching at the same time. I’d love to do it, but I’d be an absolutely awful Traitor,” she says. “I’d crumble. But I don’t know if I’d be a very good Faithful either, as I don’t have very good intuition.”
I’m A Celebrity returning to our screens, might a trip to the Australian jungle appeal in the future? Do I want a snake to crawl over my face, though? Not particularly. I gag just watching other people eating the disgusting bugs, she says, so I don’t think I could.
The prospect suddenly seems more appealing as Ellie considers a few child-free weeks in Australia. In reality, cockroaches might be a spa break in comparison to young children. Never repeat “never”

Clare Balding acknowledged to Mel Giedroyc that she frequently refers to her wife Alice Arnold as “physically very attractive,” and she cautioned him.

Clare Balding has revealed that she issued a warning to a fellow broadcaster, as he always calls her wife “physically very attractive”. Clare, a broadcaster best known for her sports coverage, shared the revelation with Mel Giedroyc (of Mel and Sue and Great British Bake Off fame) on a recent episode of the Where There’s A Will, There’s A Wake podcast.
In this death-themed podcast, Mel, under the assumption that her weekly guest has passed away, probes them about how they want to die, their funeral plans, and other similarly dying-focused topics.
In the episode, Mel played a recording of an amusing mock eulogy by fellow broadcaster Gyles Brandreth, in which he described Clare, who was on Celebrity Traitors, as one of the “most loved and respected figures”.
As he continued his speech, he hinted at her love of all things equestrian and touched upon her career in sports broadcasting. However, the eulogy soon turned to the topic of Clare’s wife, Alice Arnold.
As Clare remarked that he is “physically very attracted” and that he “always says that,” Gyles said, “Of course, as she leaves behind a beautiful widow, the brilliant and beguiling Alice Arnold.”
You will notice that I’m dressed in white and sitting here today. Yes, because “a brighter future beckons,” as Clare chuckled, “because Alice.”
Gyles then instructed his mock audience to remain seated after the funeral, as they would subsequently move on to a wedding, as he and Alice had decided to “tie the knot”.
Clare noted that he’d “always had a thing” for her, and once he concluded, she said: “I think he’s thought about it — definitely thought about the wedding to Alice. He always says to her, ‘You’re physically very attractive’. And we all go, ‘Borderline; borderline, Gyles’, but he can get away with it.”
In other news from August, Clare made an embarrassing error about Princess Anne that occurred during a significant royal event, and it was all due to a phrasing error.
It happened while Alice was writing her commentary on King Charles’ coronation for the BBC, but it was people who “interpreted” what she said “differently” in her direction.
Continue reading the article.
She stated in a statement to Woman and Home magazine that she had commented on the coronation parade and that, coming from an equestrian background, “There’s the Princess Royal, who you may have seen make a hasty exit from Westminster Abbey, and she has been swiftly mounted.”
When I got home, Alice said that many people might have thought differently about it because of how it was interpreted. Hopefully, including the Princess Royal!
