Brooklyn fumes over ‘deep insult’ to Nicola as real reason for legal letter is uncovered

Brooklyn Beckham, who is married to billionaire heiress, Nicola Peltz, has reportedly sent his parents a legal letter, warning them to stop contacting him

Brooklyn Beckham is furious over ‘insulting’ claims aimed at his wife Nicola. It comes after he sent his parents a bombshell legal letter asking them to cease contact.

The hot sauce enthusiast, 26, who is married to billionaire heiress, Nicola Peltz, 31, has warned David and Victoria – via his lawyers – not to contact him, directly or indirectly. This has been done in order to ‘protect his mental health’. A source familiar with the family’s feud, which kicked off in May, told the Mirror that Brooklyn’s mental health came first, adding that the letter was sent to ‘protect’ the wannabe chef after his “requests to stop” had gone ignored.

Following the fracas, which started when Brooklyn and Nicola swerved Sir David’s 50th birthday last year, it has been claimed that the Transformers actress is ‘controlling’ her husband and behind the estrangement.

However, Brooklyn, who told his wife, he would “always choose” her in one of his many gushing Instagram posts, is said to be deeply hurt by the “misogynistic” claims.

A source said: “This narrative is so sexist and misogynistic, and he does not stand for his wife being vilified in this way. It’s a story as old as time: blame the woman for the man’s actions. It’s just deeply insulting.”

David, 50, and Victoria, 51, were left devastated when they received a legal request from their firstborn to block all direct contact with him.

They are “desperately sad” about the situation and friends say every social media post or contact has been done out of a desire for reconciliation.

“They are only doing what every parent would do in this situation….they love Brooklyn deeply and will always be there for him,” says a source.

However, Brooklyn, who has now sensationally blocked Sir and Lady Beckham online, is said to be annoyed after Victoria liked one of his Instagram posts and David shared a black and white picture of him as a child at Christmas.

One of the main issues at play is that Brooklyn believes his parents still see him as a child and not as an adult. A pal said: “Even the Christmas post by his dad was of Brooklyn as a child.”

David only tried to contact the couple to try and resolve things, pals claim. The aggressive legal approach is said to have blindsided them. Nicola’s father has previously hired £800-an-hour lawyer Marty Singer, who represented Prince Andrew and Bill Cosby, to sue wedding planners for Nicola and Brooklyn’s big day in 2022. The case was eventually settled.

Brooklyn is very vocal when it comes to his love for Nicola. When the couple renewed their vows last summer at which none of the 26-year-old’s family were present, the self-confessed “nutter in the kitchen” gushed: “To be honest, I could renew my vows every single day with her. I think the most important thing that someone can do is find that person that they’re going to spend the rest of their life with. It definitely shapes you as a person.”

Love Island All Stars start confirmed after wildfires shut down production

Love Island All Stars is set to resume filming following the wildfires in South Africa. Bosses shut down production on the ITV2 dating show, which was due to kick off on our screens this evening.

However, sources now tell The Mirror that fans won’t have long to wait until the new series airs. It was due to start this Monday, but filming is hoping to be resumed this week.

A source told The Mirror: “Bosses are hoping to resume filming on Wednesday 14th January but it’s still very much an ongoing situation which they’re continuing to monitor closely. The team have worked hard to make sure the site is safe for the crew and islanders.”

ITV are hoping to resume filming on Wednesday, meaning the show could air its first episode as early as Thursday night. Earlier, when the show was postponed, ITV said: “Further to a production evacuation owing to ongoing wildfires in the area, our assessment of the location site has concluded that filming will need to be postponed. Health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first, and therefore the transmission of Love Island: All Stars will be delayed until a date to be confirmed.”

The wildfires have affected South Africa’s Western and Eastern Cape, with strong winds and high temperatures fuelling the blazes. Last week, fire services said that significant progress was made overnight but wildfires in the Langrug and Franschhoek areas in the Boland were still burning ‘out of control’.

A spokesperson for Cape Winelands District Municipality’s Fire Services had planned a military flight to assess the full extent of the fire and determine its current direction. They said: “This assessment will inform the operational plan for the day as active firefighting and mitigation efforts continue. The fire reported yesterday in Stormsvlei continues to burn, with an active fire line of approximately 2 km.

” Two fresh ground teams have been deployed this morning to continue active firefighting operations. De Wet Cellar, Worcester CWDM Fire Services confirm that the fire reported yesterday afternoon at De Wet Cellar in Worcester has been successfully contained. No damage to infrastructure and no injuries have been reported in relation to any of the fires.”

Millie Court, Shaq Muhammad and Whitney Adebayo are just some of the former Love Island stars due back on the new series. “It’s a nightmare. It’s left the team scrambling to arrange alternative options on what’s the most difficult day in terms of logistics for the crew – it’s called the ‘get in’ day and they need to make sure everything is running on time and that the islanders don’t get a glimpse of each other before arriving at the villa,” a source told The Mirror ahead of the initial announcement.

“The filming for their arrivals/meetings take hours. Safety is priority though and they have plans in place for such situations. But not ideal given the show hasn’t even begun.”

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet Golden Globes row caught out by lip reader

Timothée Chalamet won Best Actor at the Golden Globes but appeared to barely notice girlfriend Kylie Jenner, and now a lipreader has claimed to unpick what was said at the table

A lipreaders claims to have deciphered the words exchanged by Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet during a ‘secret fight’ at the Golden Globes.

Timothee dominated at the awards, taking home the Best Actor in a Comedy Film or Musical trophy for his performance in Marty Supreme – but seemed to hardly acknowledge his long-term partner during his acceptance moment. Tense moments were caught on camera, as suggestions of a row swirl.

The pair have been romantically linked for almost three years and are typically known for their public displays of affection; however, the atmosphere was rather different when the duo attended the prestigious ceremony. The there was a clear absence of such intimacy at the awards – with Timothée appearing to almost overlook her presence as he made his way to the stage and when he was on it.

Lipreader Nicola Hickling has broken down what she beleives was said between the pair. afterwards. She says the actor first leaned in towards Kylie and whispered “You must hate me.” She smiled, and, according to the Daily Mail, replied “Yes.” Then, Timothée asks her: “Were you worried?”

The expert claims she replied: “It was a bold yes.” He then responds: “You look bothered” as he moves to take his seat at the plush event. Ms Hickling then claims the Kylie told her boyfriend” “Not here” before she went on to tell him: “You’re annoying.”

Seemingly sidestepping a kiss as he greeted various individuals at their table before making his way to the podium, Timothé continued this distant approach during his acceptance remarks. While expressing gratitude to numerous people in his life upon receiving the honor, he only gave her a fleeting mention at the tail end of his speech.

Wrapping up his remarks abruptly, Chalamet declared, “To my parents and partner, I love you. Thank you so much.”

This represented a significantly more subdued recognition of Kylie compared to his expression at the Critics’ Choice Awards just one week prior, where he had publicly declared his affection for her.

This also followed what appeared to be a deliberate snub on the red carpet – as he arrived by himself at the ceremony, with his girlfriend only materializing next to him in a shimmering, golden dress once they had settled into their seats at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

Kylie’s absence from the red carpet walkthrough raised eyebrows, particularly given the adoring remarks Chalamet had made about her and her stunning outfit.

“After love-bombing Kylie at the Critic’s Choice awards, Timothee decided to walk the red carpet at the Golden Globes alone, despite the fact that Kylie was in her most extreme Hollywood look to date, dressed as what looked like an homage to the Oscar statue, perhaps in anticipation a win for Timothee in 2026,” body language expert Judi James told The Daily Mail.

Judi further suggested that this apparent “snub” might have been “hurtful” to Jenner, despite his seemingly “relaxed” demeanor.

“The line will probably be that he didn’t want any distractions, but with many other top stars happily posing up with their other-halves and with Kylie looking especially red carpet-ready, it might have appeared rather hurtful to not pose with her now that they would appear to be officially ‘in love’ and went to great pains to show it to the camera at last week’s awards.”

Amanda Seyfried jaw-dropping reaction as she’s ‘robbed’ of Golden Globe win

The Mean Girls actress appeared to grimace after losing out to Rose Byrne for Best Performance by an Actress

A clip of Mean Girls actress Amanda Seyfried has gone viral after cameras caught her in a series of awkward reactions at the Golden Globes.

The actress appeared to grimace and looked visibly disappointed when she lost the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a musical or comedy to Rose Byrne.

The video showed Amanda – who was nominated for The Testament of Ann Lee – pulling a face before forcing a smile and applauding the winner.

Viewers were quick to comment on the star’s reaction on social media, with one commenting that it was “the best thing I’ve seen all night”.

They wrote: “Amanda Seyfried not paying attention and preemptively clapping because she probably didn’t think she’d win is the best thing I’ve seen all night. I love her.”

Another added “my favorite 2x loser Amanda Seyfried,”, while another chimed in: “Amanda Seyfried has been robbed again.”

It was a disappointing night for Amanda, who also lost to Michelle Williams for Best Actress in a limited series.

Cameras appeared to catch her clapping before the winner was even revealed and mouthing what some viewers believed to be ‘she’s not even here’ when Michelle was announced as the winner.

It was an eventful night in Los Angeles. Owen Cooper, star of Netflix hit Adolescence, made Golden Globes history after securing Best Supporting Male Actor – the youngest winner in the award ceremony’s history.

At a mere 16 years old, Cooper shattered a record that had stood since 2010, when Glee star Chris Colfer won the same accolade at age 20.

Taking to the stage at the 83rd annual Golden Globes bash in Los Angeles, the fresh-faced Brit expressed gratitude to his family, friends and castmates – before delving into his remarkable journey from complete unknown to award-winner.

The teen disclosed he’d never acted in anything prior to landing the role, confessing he pushed himself into what he termed “embarrassing” acting classes – where he was the only boy. But he persevered, took a punt on himself, and on Sundaynight found himself standing on a Hollywood stage clutching one of the industry’s most prestigious awards.

As the enormity of the moment sunk in, Cooper paused mid-speech, his voice wavering with emotion. But instead of an awkward silence, the ballroom burst into applause as the industry rallied behind its newest – and youngest – star.

And it wasn’t a walk in the park. Cooper triumphed over some serious competition, including co-star Ashley Walters for Adolescence, Billy Crudup for The Morning Show, Jason Isaac for The White Lotus, Tramell Tillman for Severance, and Walton Goggins for The White Lotus to bag the trophy.

The British Netflix sensation Adolescence also swept up nominations across the board, with nods for Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and Best Television Limited Series.

This victory also makes Cooper the second-youngest male Golden Globe winner ever – outdone only by Ricky Schroder, who clinched the award at just nine years old in 1980.
