RuPaul is so upset by The Vivienne’s death he is “seriously considering” quitting his hosting duties on his iconic show, reports today claim.

The 64-year-old host paid tribute to The Vivienne, real name James Lee Williams, after they died aged 32 on the weekend. “With a broken heart, I join the entire Drag Race universe in mourning the loss of Vivienne, a incredibly talented queen and lovely human being,” said Ru.

The Vivienne was a breakout star on RuPaul’s Drag Race, a BBC reality series where drag queens compete against host RuPaul to earn the title of his “superstar.” The Vivienne won the first British television series in 2019.

Ru has reportedly been left “in bits” by their passing and considering quitting his TV show, which has been on the BBC for five years, despite having success in the US.

According to a source, “This has suddenly struck Ru like a bolt.” Everyone who knew he had a soft spot for them knows that The Vivienne was one of his brightest stars. He is now weighing up his own future and has been completely devastated by their passing. Ru is currently seriously considering quitting as host of The Viv’s UK franchise.

Ru, from San Diego, California, did not address the tragedy for 24 hours before his emotional Instagram message. At first, the drag queen was unaffected by the crowd of tributes, which included Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley and singer Michelle Visage’s heartfelt words.

However, Ru eventually paid his respects to The Viv, which was later revealed by friends to Mail Online, leaving co-presenters Graham Norton, Alan Carr, and Michelle Visage with the remaining rights to the UK franchise. However, fans of the show are undoubtedly asking how long the show can last without its eponymous host.

Williams, who chose the name The Vivienne from a love of Vivienne Westwood clothing, struggling to make a living in the bars of Gran Canaria. So, Williams, born and raised in Colwyn Bay, north Wales, became obsessed with RuPaul and his talent show, which had launched in the US in 2009, and The Vivienne was publicly formed.

The Viv won RuPaul’s first UK series, and competed again in the seventh season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars in 2022. The Vivienne’s reputation was praised for its excellent impersonation of Donald Trump, catty putdowns, and honesty in 2019 as a whole.

However, Williams’ distraught father discovered his child’s unresponsive at home on Sunday. Cheshire Police said officers were called to an address in Chorlton-by-Backford at 12.22pm on Sunday and in an update, confirmed they had found “no suspicious circumstances”.

Diane Warren, the author of the award-winning song “The Wildfires that Wreaked a Storm,” has lost her 30-year home.

The songstress, who has written nine number-one songs, expressed her sorrow as the wildfires ravaged her beach house near Pacific Palisades, west of LA. At least five people have died as a result of the natural disaster, which has affected several celebrities.

In addition to the five other raging fires in southern California, which are further threatening homes and lives as a result of the powerful gusts that help spread the flames, thousands of firefighters are fighting to control the original blaze, which has scorched close to 16, 000 acres.

The inferno has forced LA into a state of emergency, with an estimated 70, 000 residents fleeing their properties, leaving the city shrouded in a thick haze of smoke and ash. Warren, 68, shared on Instagram: “This is the last pic I took of Leah’s rock from my beach house. I’ve had this house for almost 30 years. Last night, it appears to have lost its life in the fire. I see a rainbow shining on it as a sign of hope for all creatures who have been affected by this tragedy.

Warren, who has written for Cher and Celine Dion, gave assurances to her followers about the safety of the animals at a rescue ranch. She continued, “The rescue ranch and the animals are okay, but that’s what’s most important.” Stay safe everyone”.

The disaster is ravaging famous neighborhoods like Calabasas and Santa Monica, home to famous people like Mandy Moore and James Woods.

Hamill shared the terror of evacuating his home with his family saying they were “fleeing for our lives”, while Woods reflected on the challenge, stating: “It tests your soul, losing everything at once”.

On Instagram, Mandy Moore shared the extent of the destruction caused by wildfires in her community, saying, “Honestly, I’m in shock and feeling numb for everything I’ve lost, including my family.”

She lamented the loss of well-known locations and the effects on close relationships and loved ones, saying, “My children’s school is gone. Our favourite restaurants, leveled. Many close friends and family members have also lost everything. Although our community is in disarray, we will continue to help each other rebuild.

Jamie Lee Curtis, the Academy Award-winning actress, took to Instagram to report that while her home was spared, the neighbourhood she cherishes has been destroyed.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag of “The Hills” reality TV stars revealed their heartbreaking news of their home’s loss. The couple, who tied the knot again in 2009, shared the progression of the disaster on Snapchat.

Through his security cameras, Pratt described the scene of their home’s destruction as “I’m watching our house burn down.”

Our house is on fire and we were able to leave in time, but I keep thinking about what we should have left behind, and Spencer is behind me because he felt the urgency of their escape.

In a subsequent emotional update, she mourned the loss of their home and possessions: “I’m so sad our house has gone” and reflected on the loss of “everything we worked so hard for”.

Governor Gavin Newsom expressed gratitude to President Joe Biden for the swift federal assistance California received despite these devastating wildfires.

The battle against the flames continues with over 1, 400 firefighters, 267 fire engines, and nine helicopters deployed, as reported by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

The Franklin Fire, which was ravaged Malibu less than a month ago, was the result of this incident. The fire, which consumed more than 4, 000 acres, led to the evacuation of residents including celebrities like Dick Van Dyke, Cher and Jane Seymour.

According to Coleen Rooney, Wayne once put out a fire in their home after blowing up a hairdryer while attempting to sleep.

The WAG, 38, who has been married to the football player since 2008, spoke with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, and Ian Wright about her relationship with her husband, her I’m A Celebrity appearance, and the infamous Wagatha Christie trial.

The I’m A Celebrity runner-up revealed in one hilarious scene that Wayne occasionally uses a hairdryer to relax after finding the soothing sound of the place to sleep. When he tried to get some rest, the white noise, however, almost turned into a raging fire when he blew up the hairdryer.

Speaking about the near-disaster, Coleen explained: “It’s a fan when I’m in the bed, but if not, it is a hairdryer. If I get up, if he’s still in bed I hear him get a hairdryer. Has he told you that it’s caught on fire before? The hairdryer is cool, but one time it turned hot, blowing up, and he was cold.

She also mentioned how organized she is in the podcast, and how her teenage sons are so boisterous that they have a rota for everything. She said: “It’s madness, it’s just mayhem all the time. We have a rota of who gets to sit at the front]of the car] going to school. Even though there is a rota, it’s just mayhem every morning.

They simply torment one another, creating a “diabolo effect.” It’s a lively house but it’s funny because everyone loves coming to our house, because it’s just entertaining. I grew up with two brothers, so I’m used to being around boys. I quite like the boys. I believe Wayne and I would have fought over a girl, and we both would have liked each other! Boys just get on with it and girls are more emotional. “

Last month, Coleen made her family proud as she came in second place after Danny Jones in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! She became a quick hit with fans, who praise her calm demeanour and down-to-earth personality.

With the most recent season of The Traitors under way, viewers have once more enjoyed show host Claudia Winkleman’s portrayal of the ultimate game of deception, which pits competitors against one another to win a sizable cash prize.

However, keeping The Traitors in line is not an easy task, and it certainly requires a solid diet to keep things moving for filming, which can occasionally even include long, grueling days and even night shoots.

What exactly does Claudia eat, and what unusual food practices does she practice?

Claudia’s water phobia

We all have one food or beverage that is a total no-no in our books, according to our likes and dislikes. Veal or raw fish are the two things that some people prefer, but in Claudia’s case, drinking plain water is what’s best.

Prior to her husband Kris Thykier consuming a glass of wine, Claudia previously revealed how disgusting she was with the common beverage.

Opening up about her unusual preference, Claudia told the Off the Menu podcast: “I don’t like or believe in water, I won’t have it… I’ve never knowingly had water, I don’t like it. When people drink it, like my husband drinks great amounts of water, and I really like him but it’s problematic… He’s glugging… I don’t think so”.

Claudia’s no-nonsense sugar rule – and the exception

When Tess Daly and Claudia aren’t frequently seen together on Strictly Come Dancing, and in 2019 Tess helped open the door to Claudia’s not-entirely-strengthening decision to cut sugary foods from her diet.

Speaking with Metro, Tess said: “Claudia doesn’t do sugar. But you might not be surprised by that. She is like my complete opposite. On my person, I’ve always got a bag of Haribo. I’ve never seen her eat a sweet. She’ll eat cake, though”.

Claudia’s fast food love

It may surprise some viewers to learn that Claudia is a big fan of a cheeky takeaway, especially when making Strictly. She is known for her slim figure. Claudia revealed in a 2016 interview with Red Magazine that she frequently retreats to Tess’ dressing room to order something delectably moreish to munch on at the end of each show.

“We always get a takeaway after filming”, she said. “Often it’s Domino’s but I have been known to eat four Filet-O-Fish from McDonald’s”!

Claudia’s naughty Christmas breakfast

Although many people consider turkey and Christmas pudding to be the ‘naughtiest’ meals of the day, Claudia likes to break the rules when it comes to breakfast.

The actress told Stylist in 2019 that she enjoys eating brandy butter on toast every morning and will then have a pre-lunch snack of 20 After Eights followed by a few Quality Streets. Not bad for someone who doesn’t like sweets!

Claudia Winkleman’s late-night snack

Claudia, like many of us, succumbs to the nighttime munchies, and it’s safe to say that she has a very relatable taste after revealing her go-to late-night snack.

Reflecting on her dream snack, Claudia told cntraveller: “Right this very second I’d be in Claridge’s bar with my girlfriends. We would all be surrounded by too much eyeliner (pandas forever), a large selection of cheese straws, olives the size of light bulbs, and particularly crisp crisp crisps. Four Margaritas please, and possibly a cheese toastie at 10pm. Boof”.

Claudia’s no-cheat ‘ cheat-meal ‘

While Claudia firmly opposed to labeling something as a “cheat,” she revealed that her favorites included a vegetable side, two courses to follow, and roast chicken, crispy potatoes, and horseradish.

Among the latter, she’d reportedly opt for an Italian cheese so strong in flavour, it’s bound to split opinions. “Buttery peas]too]”, she told Marie Claire at the time. “… Then a cheese board that WILL include Gorgonzola, and then probably Tiramisu”.

Victoria Beckham hasn’t sung a note since 2012, but she has already made £1 million in music.

Posh Spice, 50, pocketed the fortune through royalties from her solo career and time with the chart-topping group, it is understood. She hasn’t stepped foot on the stage since 2012’s closing ceremony with the Spice Girls in London.

However, according to reports, the sum has reportedly helped the mother make up for Victoria Beckham Holdings’ losses. She currently has £2.4 million in her Moody Productions business, which she founded in 1997 to manage her music earnings, according to documents filed with Companies House for the period ending March 2024.

Victoria released a self-titled solo album in 2001 in addition to her three studio albums with the Spice Girls. Posh now has 19, 900 monthly listeners on Spotify, although bandmate Melanie C, also 50, has more than 659, 000 on the platform.

On Spotify, The Spice Girls still have 12.6 million monthly subscribers. Wannabe and Stop are the band’s most-listened tunes on the platform, founded in 2006 in Sweden.

The Spice Girls are the best-selling girl group ever, surpassing Little Mix and The Supremes, who have sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

Victoria, however, claimed she had stopped participating in the Spice Girls’ lucrative 2019 reunion tour because she had been concentrating on her beauty and fashion line because of The Sun.

Speaking at the time, she said: “I had so much fun being in the Spice Girls… I think that now, with everything else that I’ve got going on with my fashion and beauty line, and four children, I couldn’t commit to that”.

Last year, amid speculation the band were going to reunite again, reports suggested Victoria was “the final part of the jigsaw” – and that the 2019 lacked her pull. Yet, the mum of four, born in Harlow, Essex, “simply did not budge” at attempts to convince her to join the artists for a final hoorah, according to reports.

One of the most notorious celebrity court cases ever to be heard was Rebekah Vardy’s Wagatha Christie court case at the English High Court, which was brought by Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney.

And in a new conversation about exactly what transpired, I’m A Celebrity winner Coleen reveals how much her involvement with Rebekah’s lawsuit affected her.

Three years after Coleen exposed Rebekah as the person responsible for a number of leaks about private stories from her Instagram account, the WAGS faced off in a legal fight in the summer of 2022 in the London court. Rebekah officially signed off her post with “It’s Rebekah Vardy’s account.”

Now, as 38-year-old Coleen is no doubt supporting her husband Wayne Rooney after his sacking as manager of Plymouth Argyle, she’s spoken out about what she calls “the lowest” she’s ever been, even with her husband’s support.

Speaking to the Stick to Football podcast, Coleen said: “I had no control over it and that was hard. I was aware that my statement was accurate, but it was difficult for me to deny that it was true when someone else tried to sue me and forced me to prove it. I couldn’t get away from it because it was so long.

She continued to say she would wake up every day and promise to “just get on with your day” but that the paperwork and calls to her legal team, who ultimately won her the case, made it difficult to get away from it. “I felt like I wasn’t myself, I was snappy, and every Friday the lawyers rang me – the other team try and ruin your weekend by calling at the last point on Friday”, she shared.

Rebekah, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, eventually lost the case and was ordered by the judge to pay 90 per cent of Coleen’s legal costs, which were reportedly upwards of around £1.8million.

“They’d tell me what’s going on and then to try and have a nice weekend”, Coleen told the podcast. “I would leave and start looking for the things he’s asking for,” he said. When Wayne would eventually say, “I’m going to bed,” he would wait on the couch to watch something until 2 a.m. It put a strain on family life, friends – I wasn’t sociable, and it stripped me”.

Vindicated Coleen, who shares sons Kai, Klay, Kit Cass with Wayne, released a statement after case saying was “pleased” with the judge’s ruling but “never believed” it should’ve ended up in court in the first place, especially “at such expense in times of hardship for so many people when the money could have been far better spent helping others”.
