Cameron Diaz’s husband Benji Madden has made a very rare comment on their daughter, despite them fiercely protecting her privacy. His remarks have come as a surprise to fans, who have now been given a look into their home lives.

The Hollywood actress, 53, and Good Charlotte guitarist, 46, have been married for a decade now and welcomed a “really cute” baby boy named Cardinal Madden last year. They even managed to keep the news under wraps by maintaining their low profile.

Cameron and Benji also share a five-year-old daughter, Raddix, but have shared little about her publicly. However, Benji has now opened up about their little girl while taking part in a TikTok series with his brother Joel Madden.

The show tests guests on their music knowledge, and the brothers were tasked with trying to identify excerpts of songs. Host Jack Coyne played Paramore tune Misery Business, which prompted Joel to say: “Hayley [Williams] is a star, man.”

In a surprise comment, Benji added: “I have a daughter and she’s just getting [into] playing her stuff and whatever.” He said Raddix “loves Paramore” before he was asked if his daughter likes Taylor Swift.

Benji revealed she is a fan, but was unable to get to Taylor’s huge Eras Tour shows as he added: “She was a little young.” The musician and Cameron don’t share photos of their kids and rarely speak about them publicly.

Cameron and Benji’s love story first began back in May of 2014 after meeting through mutual friends. The two were connected as Cameron was close friends with actress Nicole Richie, and her husband, Joel, is Benji’s twin brother.

The two were first introduced during a BBQ, and it seemed to be love at first sight for the Charlie’s Angels star. In an interview on Anna Faris’s Unqualified podcast, Cameron admitted that the second she walked through the door, she was captivated by Benji.

Cameron recalled: “I met mine [husband] through my now sister-in-law and brother-in-law, I met them first and then they didn’t set us up, but we were in the same room because of them, and then we found each other. I was like, ‘How come I didn’t see him before?’

She continued: “I saw him walking towards me, and I was like, ‘Huh, he’s hot, I haven’t seen him before.’ But then when I saw him, like who he was, that’s what made me really be like, ‘Oh, you, you’re special, you’re the guy, you’re the hidden gem in my life.’”

Within just six months, Benji got down on one knee and asked Cameron to spend forever with him. A month later, the couple said “I do” in an intimate wedding ceremony at their Beverly Hills mansion surrounded by their closest friends and family.

Later, the couple shared a joint statement and said: “We couldn’t be happier to begin our new journey together surrounded by our closest family and friends.” Last year, Cameron and Benji announced the birth of their second child.

They said online: “He is awesome and we are all so happy he is here! For the kids safety and privacy we won’t be posting any pictures- but he’s really cute. We are feeling so blessed and grateful. Sending much love from our fam to yours. Best wishes and Good Afternoon!!”

A Happy Mondays star has shared a concerning health update with her fans from her hospital bed following mystery surgery.

In December 2024 Rowetta announced her sudden departure from Happy Mondays after 34 years with the band.The X Factor star first joined the Happy Mondays in 1990, and stuck with them as a guest artist throughout the group’s breakups and reunions.

Rowetta gushed over her career when speaking to the Mirror. “I’m really, really proud to be one of the only women in this Madchester scene. All the famous people from Manchester, a lot of them are male and white. So it’s important to me to represent. It’s important to me to represent little girls from Manchester because when I was a little girl growing up, there were not very many famous women singers.”

Rowetta added: “Look at me, I’m doing it now. I’m playing everywhere still. I’m singing with everybody still, and that’s incredible. You can do what you want, not as a backing singer.” The star also explained that she wants to keep singing with as many people and different genres as she can.

“I don’t care if I’m up there with the boys because the fame can be a double-edged sword -we all know that. It’s not the fame that I want, but it is to be recognised for what I do,” she shared.

Keeping her health cards close to her chest, The X Factor legend Rowetta posted a picture of herself on a ward wearing red Manchester United pyjamas. She captioned it: “Sorry for not replying to everyone’s texts, calls and messages. I’ve been transferred from Trafford to St Mary’s (who have been wonderful) this morning, so hopefully home tomorrow.”

In a hospital gown in bed, wearing dark glasses and attached to a drip, the performer wrote: “Big love and thanks to St Mary’s for stepping in last minute. Came out of surgery smiling. What a wonderful team. Back on the ward now, morphined up for the pain, but – all went well, home tomorrow and should be good to sing again next week.”

In 2004 she appeared on The X Factor and featured in the over 25s category, before being eliminated at the quarter-final stage of the show. Rowetta’s performances on The X Factor earned her glowing reviews and she ended up finishing fourth and was the last woman in the competition.

On the programme Rowetta was described by her mentor Simon Cowell as: “Amazing, but barking b***** mad.”

When the band reformed in 2012, Rowetta joined original members including Shaun Ryder and Bez, as they embarked on a reunion tour.

Before joining the Happy Mondays Rowetta was a fixture on the Manchester music scene, and featured as a backing singer on Simply Red’s 1991 album Stars.

LBC and This Morning star Nick Ferrari was in talks with I’m a Celebrity chiefs about taking part this year but his radio bosses vowed to match any lucrative fee to make him stay

Presenter Nick Ferrari dramatically pulled out of talks with ITV to join I’m a Celebrity after his radio chiefs vowed to match his lucrative jungle fee. The LBC star, who is also a favourite on This Morning, was wooed by show chiefs during what insiders say were “really productive conversations.”

But sources claim that after Ferrari mentioned the plans to his bosses at Global, they begged him to reconsider. A source said: “They pledged to match any fee he was set to receive as they consider him such a vital and well-loved part of the LBC schedule.”

The 66-year-old was first linked to the hit ITV show at the end of September, with increasing speculation he was due Down Under in recent weeks. An insider claimed at the time that producers were “determined to bag him” and “prepared to dig deep into their pockets for a lucrative fee.”

But a source said: “Ultimately, Global was able to flex its financial muscles and managed to keep their man. If he had signed up, he would have been off air for up to six weeks which they were keen not to happen. Nick is really well liked by those working on LBC and everyone thinks he has played a blinder by getting a payrise out of it.”

The source added: “Nick is known to have been a big fan of the show for years. Remember he was Carol Thatcher’s ‘celebrity friend’ when she won the series all those years ago and has been known to the production team since.” ITV were keen to secure his services but hadn’t tabled an official offer, it’s understood.

And a source said: “Nick would have been great but alas it wasn’t to be.” It comes as Nick has also proved a hit with the channel’s daytime audiences with regular This Morning appearances.

This year, a whole host of famous faces are flying out to Australia this weekend to take part. These include Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, former model Kelly Brook, and ex-EastEnders star Shona McGarty.

Lisa herself recently dropped a huge hint she would be jetting Down Under, saying: “I’m A Celebrity…is something I would do before I turned 50 as a test for myself.”

Elsewhere, YouTuber Morgan Burtwistle, better known as Angryginge, musician Martin Kemp, comedian Ruby Wax, TV presenter Alex Scott and Jack Osbourne. The 25th series, hosted again by Ant and Dec, is set to start a week on Sunday.

The Mirror has exclusively revealed that Spandau Ballet star Martin was “advanced talks” to join the hit ITV show, following in the footsteps of his son Roman, who entered the jungle back in 2019.

Our insider said: “Martin is a household name having been top of the hit parade with Spandau Ballet in the 80s and then in EastEnders in the early 2000s – he’s a great signing and everyone is very excited at the prospect of getting him Down Under.”

Roman will no doubt be thrilled seeing his dad in the jungle. “Listen, I would do anything to see my dad eat llama anus,” Roman told the Mirror in 2022.

“I’ll tell you why, because when I got nominated the first time it was the eating trial,” he recalled. “When you’re in there, you get so paranoid about why people are voting for you, because you’re like ‘Am I coming across as a d*** and people want to see me suffer?'”

Australian actor Damien Richardson, who starred as Gary Canning in Neighbours, made a Nazi salute while giving a speech as he attended an event in Melbourne last year

Former Neighbours star Damien Richardson has been found guilty of performing a Nazi salute at an event.

The 56-year-old actor, who starred as Gary Canning in the soap opera from 2014 to 2020, made the gesture during a speech to the National Workers Alliance, a group that stands for “the preservation of Western culture and identity”, a court heard.

The event, held at a restaurant in Melbourne, was attended by members of the National Socialist Network (NSN), an Australian neo-Nazi, white supremacist, and far-right extremist group.

At some point during his speech, Richardson raised his right hand and said: “Am I gonna be fined now? I’m going to go jail for five years?”

Under laws in the state of Victoria, it is illegal to make a Nazi salute in public or display Nazi symbols in most scenarios. Richardson, who had fought the charge laid by Victoria Police, was found guilty of the offence on Friday.

Magistrate Justin Foster said the gesture Richardson performed “clearly looked like a Nazi salute”, ABC News reported. The magistrate ruled the act occurred in a public place and wasn’t part of a theatrical performance, which is one of the potential exemptions to the laws.

However, Mr Foster pointed out that the actor’s actions didn’t mean he was displaying any loyalty or affiliation to Adolf Hitler. He also found that the actor had not engaged in the same anti-Semitic views expressed by others at the event.

The magistrate said that by doing the gesture, Richardson was mocking The Age newspaper, which he claimed had likened him to Hitler in an article dating from August 2023. “Just prior to him giving the salute, the accused was complaining of his treatment by The Age newspaper,” the magistrate said.

“He was saying that The Age treated him badly and was essentially labelling him as a Nazi or like Hitler, to shut down what some might describe as extreme right-wing views. The salute that came immediately afterwards was in a mocking gesture, perhaps aimed at The Age, perhaps aimed at himself, I don’t know.

“It was trying to demonstrate, together with the words that follow, that he clearly wasn’t Adolf Hitler and that he’s not a Nazi.” Mr Foster said Richardson had shut down “elements of anti-Semitism in the room” and told people at the event that his grandfather fought the Nazis during WW2.

Despite this, Mr Foster said the gesture resembled a Nazi salute enough that he found Richardson guilty of the offence. As reported by The Age, Richardson will be sentenced on December 4.

The maximum penalty for the offence is a $23,000 (£11,360) fine and a 12-month jail term. Exemptions to the law include those who display Nazi symbols for academic, artistic, educational, scientific purposes and media reporting.

TV star and singer Peter Andre has revealed he had one ‘big fear’ about his eldest kids Princess and Junior as he reveals his relief at how he battled through the worry

View 3 Images

Peter Andre has admitted his “biggest fear” about his eldest children, Princess and Junior. The Mysterious Girl singer has been candid about his kids that he shares with ex-wife Katie Price as they carve out showbiz careers of their own.

His daughter, Princess, 18, entered the spotlight this summer thanks to landing her very own reality TV show. Junior, 20, is following in Peter’s footsteps and is focusing on her music career.

Peter recently gushed to the Mirror about how “proud” he is of Princess and Junior, yet he’s now admitted he did have one big fear. He has said the pair were very “easy teenagers” but he did worry about what Princess and Junior’s love life would look like.

The dad-of-five had revealed his relief at being able to bond with both his son’s girlfriend, Jasmine Orr, and his daughter’s previous boyfriend. He told BANG Showbiz: “Do you know what, I have to say, the biggest fear, I think for me, when they were growing up and people don’t know what teenagers are like.

“I found them easy teenagers, but the problem is – it’s not with those two – but the problem for parents, what I find is when they have a partner, you either like the partner or you push them away. Thankfully, I liked Princess’ boyfriend and thankfully, I love both of them, I loved Princess’ previous boyfriend when she had one – and Jasmine, we love her, thank God. They’re dream teenagers now.”

Peter also has Amelia, 11, nine-year-old Theo and 18-month-old Arabella with his wife Emily. However, he has admitted that having adult children makes him feel “old”.

He joked at the launch of Boots presents Glide at Battersea Power Station: “Yes, I am old, I’m 52, hello? You know what, I was on the ice rink and someone’s going, ‘Aren’t you a bit old for this?’ And I was like ‘Ha – I got this’ but inside I was shaking.”

Last month, Peter told The Mirror about the rule he has over his younger children entering the spotlight. When asked if he and Emily would bring their youngest to the Pride of Britain, Emily told us: “We have talked about that!”

Peter added: “Amelia asked today. She said, ‘will I be able to come with you?’ I said, maybe when you are 16.” Emily agreed as she explained: “She’s at secondary school now, I think maybe when she’s 16.”

Despite the pair laying down new ground rules for their young kids, Peter and Emily are both proud of what Princess and Junior have achieved already. Princess has secured two more series for her own show, which Peter is delighted about.

“I know she’s gonna smash it,” he told us. “The next series she’s going to smash it, you watch her go, she’s great.” Speaking of his daughter’s success, Peter added: “Oh, I’m so proud. You know, we’ve got a good team, obviously. Claire’s been with us, with me, for 30 years.

“There’s a good team around her, but for me it’s about them being humble, it’s about remembering where they’re coming from and that people are so lovely, you’ve got to give back, you can’t just take. And they are good people, they’re good kids.”
