After the pair united earlier this year, Gwyneth Paltrow has unveiled rumors that she has been feuding with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, in a recent interview.

Gwyneth Paltrow revealed she doesn’t know Meghan Markle ‘super well’ as she shut down the feud rumours about them. The Shakespeare in Love actress, 52, said she only ‘hung out’ with the Duchess of Sussex, 43, a number of times and added she was ‘proud of her’.

Gwyneth, the actress in Iron Man and Avengers, quickly disseminated all the rumors swirling about their friendship and quickly clarified whether there were any conflicts between them by promising to “be a pawn in some drummed up triangulation of women feuds” before pleading, “Leave us out of it.”

Gwyneth was questioned about the rumors that she and Meghan allegedly “hate each other” in a recent episode of The World’s First Podcast with Erin &amp, Sara Foster.

You know what I won’t be at this point in my life, she said. For your f***ing clickbait, I won’t be a pawn in some drummed up, you know, triangulation of women feud. Leave us out of it, please. Don’t do that, for example. That is not what I’m going to do.

Meghan has only the best wishes, I promise. Like, she’s doing amazing things. She deserves praise. Every woman has a right to enter any endeavor she chooses, but most people should “just check themselves.”

She continued, “She lives in Montecito, I’ve seen her, I’ve hung out with her a few times,” Gwyneth continued. She appears to be very lovely. Although I don’t know her very well, she seems incredibly lovely.

Last month, the actress took part in a Q&A session on her Instagram and answered a fan who asked if she was “comprehending the Meghan Markle beef that social media says you two have?”

Before she turned her head in the direction of a confused Gwyneth, “I genuinely do not understand this at all, whatsoever,” she said, “Do you understand this?

She then moved her iPhone camera to reveal Meghan sitting right next to her. Meghan shrugged her shoulders as she giggled and leaned back in her chair while enjoying a slice of pie.

Body language expert Darren Stanton claims that some online followers have since suggested the video was merely a stunt, but that is not the case.

He noted how “the Duchess’ movements were loose and relaxed,” adding that there might be tension and awkwardness if it were all for show.

Further, Darren added that Meghan and Gwyneth’s relationship is more likely to be genuine because of the relaxed atmosphere. It first demonstrates that you have two extremely strong women. “he said”. They are quick to defend themselves while also being friendly with their fans and coworkers.

Former Made in Chelsea star Louise Thompson, 35, said she suffered a miscarriage last year and decided to share the news with her fans as it ‘can feel quite liberating’

Louise Thompson has revealed she suffered a miscarriage in January 2024 – just over two years after the traumatic birth of her son. The 35-year-old former Made in Chelsea star nearly died giving birth to three-year-old Leo, whom she shares with partner Ryan Libbey, in November 2021 – and this week, she appeared on This Morning to talk about her health struggles.

Louise, who was left post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), also told her story in her book Lucky, which was released on April 24.

She said writing Lucky was a “cathartic” experience as she worked to process everything she had been through. Now, in a new update shared on Instagram, Louise said she suffered a miscarriage over a year ago. She said she has only told “a handful of people” but wanted to share it with her fans as she mentioned it in her book.

The reality TV star posted images of a positive pregnancy test alongside a screenshot of a website that estimated her due date to be September 10, 2024. She wrote on one of the images: “Tw: miscarriage and fertility struggles. I thought I’d include this so that people don’t get the wrong end of the ‘stick’ – Pun unintended… and start wishing me a big fat congratulations for something that isn’t warranted.”

She captioned the post: “This is not now, this was last January. The night before I got on a flight. As if things needed to get more complicated. I only told a handful of people, but I wrote a bit about it in the book and now that it is out there in the big bad world I thought it was easier to share on here than to have anyone question it behind my back. I often find it easier to write this sort of stuff down than to speak about it out loud. And hopefully this will help me process it. Sharing can feel quite liberating.”

Louise added: “The stick in this image is one of those things that I’ve buried. I haven’t allowed myself to give it a second thought. In typical Louise fashion, one trauma has been quickly replaced by another swooping in to take my attention. I haven’t even spoken to Ryan about it in much detail either really… but we’ve had our plates full.”

She continued: “It’s crazy to think that Leo could have had a sibling born last September. I doubt that it was ever going to work. Probably a mere chemical pregnancy. Whatever it was the change in hormones or blood flow to that area caused the most insane amount of bleeding from my bum in the weeks that followed and ended up having my stoma surgery as a result.

“So capiche. That was the end of that dream. Was it a dream though? Not something that was planned, in fact a complete miracle given the circumstances and I’ll let you work that one out, although there are many circumstances that make this one very unusual, including the fact it’s practically a Mary and Joseph moment. But I knew something was different to test because I felt a very unusual sense of tiredness that I only got when being pregnant last time and I felt very sick too. These are not symptoms I’ve experienced aside from my last pregnancy.

“My fertility and our fertility journey is something I’m only just starting to wrap my head around 3 1/2 years after the birth of my beautiful son. There is a lot I haven’t come to terms with, and I haven’t wanted to until now. I remember my therapist asking me about it a few years ago and she asked whether I was sad about my situation and I just brushed it off. It was all way to soon to start thinking about the idea of more anything when I had so much fixing to do.”

In 2022, Louise was diagnosed with Lupus – a long-term condition that causes joint pain, skin rashes and exhaustion. At the time, the mum-of-one described the agony she endured as “intolerable”. Then, in May 2023, Louise revealed that she had suffered “a major haemorrhage” earlier that year, which resulted in her needing emergency surgery. The horror incident, which left Louise requiring several litres of blood and fluids, occurred mere days before she, Ryan and Leo had been due to fly out to St. Lucia to visit friends. Had it happened when she was already over there, she believes she wouldn’t have survived.

Things took a turn the following year when Louise fell ill during a family holiday abroad and was forced to book an early flight home. After immediately heading to A&E, Louise spent more than two weeks in hospital before she was allowed home. Addressing fans from her hospital bed, the star shared how she was “feeling v grateful for home and for life”.

In April of last year, Louise, who lives with ulcerative colitis, opened up about her life-saving stoma bag, which she described as “the grey bag that may well save my life”. Revealing the bag to followers in an Instagram video, Louise reflected: “Isn’t it bizarre that this little grey pouch is the price I pay for good health! I say good riddance to that nasty menacing colon! Please be kind.”

Susan Boyle has decided to keep her life away from the stage relatively private but has previously opened up about her first romance after meeting a mystery man on tour

Susan Boyle is arguably one of the biggest Britain’s Got Talent stars after she blew the judges away with her voice. Initially, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan doubted the Scottish star after she first appeared on stage and had attempted to write her off – until she started singing I Dreamed A Dream, revealing she wanted to be as famous as Elaine Paige.

Since finding fame in 2009, the singer has kept a relatively low profile and has only shared an insight into her life on a handful occasions and even shared a look into her romance which she said wasn’t too serious. Prior to her mystery relationship, Susan had been open about not being romantically linked to anybody.

While on tour after appearing on the ITV talent show which airs this weekend, Susan found her first romantic partner. Although she remained coy about the details about their romance, Susan previously hinted that it was purely casual and they were not too serious about one another.

Although she has never shared his name, she he has shared some information about her mystery man. The man in question was an American doctor. Speaking in 2016, she told the Mirror: “I don’t want to reveal the doctor’s name. It’s nothing serious at the moment.” I

But Susan went on to admit that she’s no stranger to delighting her mystery man with snaps of herself. She teased: “I will send him a picture of my weight loss – if he’s a good boy! I do enjoy male companionship.” In another admission, she explained: “I don’t want to say any more about who he is right now as that would be unfair on him.

“All I’ll say is we are around the same age and he was a very nice guy.” But she later admitted that their romance had run its course, revealing: “I did have a gentleman friend, a doctor. We went for lunch but I didn’t tell anyone. But if I had a man friend it would be purely platonic – I’ve been on my own too long now to get married.”

While romance was off the cards for Susan, the Scottish singing sensation had also hoped to start a family and adopting a child – but feared that her beloved cat may get slightly jealous. She admitted: “I would love to adopt a child too but my cat might get jealous. I don’t want to see a cat and a baby fighting. It’s something I might do later.”

However, Susan later admitted she feared she was too old to adopt and instead considered fostering. “I’ve a lovely house, why not share it?” She went on to say to Lady Magazine: “I love children. I’ve never had any of my own, that’s my biggest regret.” Unlike most celebrities, Susan has remained at her childhood home in Blackburn, West Lothain, Scotland. She spent £111,000 on the semi-detached ex-council house next door to her childhood home in order to turn both properties into her dream house.

Although she could afford to bag herself a lavish mansion, Susan said she it found it too hard to part with the home she grew up in due to its sentimental value. She previously told OK! magazine : “It’s to do with the memories of your house and your upbringing, you need to take stock of things and maybe see where you come from and where your roots lie. It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn’t say.”

Now, its estimated that she’s worth over £22 million but isn’t the type of person to spend thousands in one go. The singer previously told Piers Morgan she lives off a humble £300-500 weekly allowance to keep her going. In an interview with the TalkTV host back in 2010, she said: “I’ve only just learnt how to go in a taxi. I don’t flash the cash.”

Asked by Piers if she would like to buy a Lamborghini car, she asked, innocently: “Is that a drink? No fancy cars, no.” Susan continued: “I’m always careful with money. I’m not saying I’m mean, but I’m always careful. I have an allowance, it’s about £300-500 a week because that’s plenty for me. It’s pocket money.”

Britain’s Got Talent: Live Semi-Final airs on Saturday at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Brooklyn’s other grandma, Sandra Beckham, left a nicer comment for her grandson, posting: “Mmmmm that looks good”.

The star’s latest post comes after he channelled his mum and dad with snaps taken with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham on a Ducati motorcycle.

Both wore helmets for the snap. In another, Nicola posed solo on the red bike while rocking leggings. Brooklyn, 26, captioned the post: “My passenger princess x]motorcycle emoji] @usedbikesdirect”.

While some fans reminded them to put on proper riding gear, many complimented the stars, with one saying: “didn’t know you ride! That’s amazing”, and another adding: “Lucky boy”!

Nicola, 30, also shared similar model-like snaps on her page, all taken in a garage. Only one picture showed them riding around the neighbourhood as Nicola showed off Brooklyn’s neck tattoo – which is of her eyes.

“I love you baby @brooklynpeltzbeckham”, Nicola captioned her photos. The duo’s snaps were similar to the ones taken by Brooklyn’s parents Victoria and David when they were on a US road trip in 2022.

At the time, Victoria shared a clip of their ride as she added Kenny Loggins ‘ hit song, Danger Zone, in the background.

Victoria wrote in the caption: “Our Maverick Moment!! @davidbeckham has been trying to get me on the back of his bike for years and finally I did it! It was so much fun! “!

David also shared a video on his page and said: “My happy place”! Brooklyn and Nicola’s new snaps come amid a rumoured feud within the family.

Meanwhile, there have been rumours that of a family feud after Brooklyn failed to publicly wish his mother a happy 51st birthday. Instead, he was partying at Coachella Festival with his wife and friends.

Brooklyn shared pictures from his time at the festival but none of his family, who were all celebrating Victoria’s special day.

The singer, who is about to embark on a world tour, talks being an 80s legend, his near death experience and why he’ll always go ‘ beyond what people expect ‘ despite his age

It is more than 40 years since Billy Idol stormed out of the punk scene and on to worldwide fame, with his bleach-blond spikes, flashy swagger and signature snarl. And he’s still sneering, rocking, and rebelling – even if these days that means refusing to accept that, for someone turning 70 this year, he should be acting his age.

It’s why the release this week of his ninth studio album, Dream Into It – Billy’s first full-length album of new music in over a decade – could be considered an act of rebellion in itself. The irrepressible rocker is also getting ready to embark on an extensive two-leg North American tour, beginning on Wednesday, with a European leg between June and July. And he doesn’t seem to have lost any of his famous rebellious spirit or rock’n’roll energy.

Last year, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of hit album Rebel Yell, Billy belted out the title track while perched on the top of the Empire State Building – wearing the same black leathers, chunky silver necklace and porcupine peroxide hair that made him an 80s icon.

And last week Billy – a grandad-of-two – posted a photo of himself on X, bare chest on show under a ripped T-shirt, alongside pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne, who features on his new single, 77, writing: “Two generations of rebellion”.

Released this week, 77 has stormed to No1 in the US iTunes rock chart, and reached the top 5 in most countries around the world, while the singer’s new album looks set to be his most successful since the height of his fame. His YouTube channel, meanwhile, passed the million-subscriber mark earlier this week, with the singer proudly showing off his Gold Button plaque on social media.

It has been a lifetime of defying both etiquette and expectations which began in Stanmore, north London, in November 1955, as William Broad, the son of a power tool salesman died and a surgical nurse mum.

The young William went to church with his parents and attended Cub Scouts, but as a teen he was obsessed with music. He remembered: “The first thing I did in front of an audience was read from the Bible in church. But I rebelled against all of that.

” I wasn’t trying hard at school, and eventually, between the ages of 14 and 16, my dad didn’t talk to me for a couple of years. I had really long hair and he couldn’t stand it. What I liked about the music scene was that it gave you a sense of freedom. It was just so alive, as opposed to your parents who were still so fuddy-duddy. “

In 1976 Billy, who had enrolled in a philosophy with literature degree at Sussex University, told his parents he was quitting the course after just a year to join a punk rock group”. My parents were always going on about getting qualifications. They didn’t even know what a punk rock group was, let alone what it meant to join one, “he recalled.

The band, newly-formed retro-rock group Chelsea, in which Billy, who joined as a guitarist, used his stage name Billy Idol – coined after a chemistry teacher described him as ‘ idle ‘ on a school report card – and dyed his hair blonde.

After a few weeks he left and co-founded Generation X, one of the first punk bands to appear on Top of the Pops.

The band released six singles and two albums that made the UK charts, but it was after they disbanded in 1981 that turned him into a megastar stateside.

Moving to the US that same year, the chart success of White Wedding and Dancing with Myself, from his first solo album – along with his cartoonishly bad-boy roguishness – made him a poster boy for the newly-launched MTV and the dawn of the music video age.

His second album, Rebel Yell, which sold 2million copies, and singles such as Eyes Without a Face which reached No4 in the US, established the bad boy rocker as one of the biggest stars of the Second British Invasion, alongside bands like Duran Duran, Wham! and Culture Club.

But fame also nearly destroyed him. In his autobiography Dancing With Myself the singer remembered how, at the height of his 80s success, his life consisted of” never-ending broads and bikes, plus a steady diet of pot, cocaine, ecstasy, smack, opium, Quaaludes, and reds. “

He said he became convinced he was” next in line to die outside an LA nightclub or on some cold stone floor, surrounded by strangers and paparazzi”.

But he recalled:” I was having a great time. Today I can see I was on a tightrope hovering between life and death, but at the time I didn’t care. I ignored the dangers. “

Revealing the closest he came to death, in 1984, the same year that singles Rebel Yell and Flesh For Fantasy were topping charts around the world, he said he snorted five lines of a” strong Persian brown heroin “before everything went black and he realised he was dying.

While his friends frantically tried to save him, Billy said he was so high that he craved death, thinking”, Let me sleep, let me dream. I don’t want to be awake – I’m an emperor! “

In 1988 girlfriend and Hot Gossip dancer Perri Lister gave birth to his first child, Willem Wolfe, but dumped him soon after when she caught him cheating. He had a second child a year later, daughter Bonnie Blue with 19-year-old girlfriend Linda Mathis.

In 1990 Billy suffered a serious motorbike accident when he ran a stop sign on his Harley Davidson that almost caused him to lose a leg, and his fear of making his children orphans forced him to put the worst of his rock’n’rock excesses behind him.

Last year Billy remembered how the accident made him” think I should not be a drug addict anymore and stuff like. It took a long time, but gradually I did achieve some kind of discipline where I’m not really the same kind of guy as I was in the 80s. “

Describing himself as” California sober”, he said:” I can have a glass of wine every now and again. I just tell myself I can do what I want, but then I don’t do it. If I tell myself I can’t do anything, I want to do it. So I tell myself, ‘ You can do anything you like. ‘ But I don’t actually do it. “

Billy, who gained US citizenship in 2018, lives in the Hollywood Hills with his long-term girlfriend, model and actress China Chow, 50, was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023.

And this year the legendary rocker, who gets 11.1M monthly listeners on Spotify, is up for induction in the Rock &amp, Roll Hall of Fame. Asked earlier this month why he should get the fans vote, he replied with typical spunk:” Because I’m just f***ing incredible!
