Hollywood bosses are in a bidding war to create a huge big-budget movie on David Bowie’s life, including his raunchy private life and one night stand while he was married

Hollywood bosses are reportedly in a bidding war to create a biopic movie about music legend David Bowie, which promises to give a detailed look into his life, including his raunchy private life and launch into fame.

Suzi Ronson, the wife of Mick Ronson who was Bowie’s right-hand man, has revealed her autobiography is being turned into a huge big-budget movie. The book, Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie And The Spiders From Mars came out last year, and now Suzi is hoping it will be a ‘great movie’.

During a talk at the first Ziggyfest Bowie fan event, Suzi said she was excited about seeing who won the rights for the movie. She said: “The book has now been auctioned to be made into a major motion picture. It hasn’t been bought but we are hoping it will be soon, and it will be a great movie about the Ziggy Stardust days and his rise to fame.”

The movie is also set to include her one-night stand with the superstar, which happened while he was still married to his first wife, Angie. She told The Sun: “The bedroom at his home was pink with a gold ceiling. Everybody thought he was so gay. I was curious about him. I think Angie set me up.”

She added: “I went to do her hair on a Wednesday and she said: ‘I have got to look fabulous. I am going on a date tonight.’ David called me and said: ‘Why don’t you come over and do my hair?’ So I went up to London, had a great meal, and he kind of seduced me. David used to mark his territory. He was definitely flamboyant in that regard.”

Suzi, best known for creating David Bowie’s iconic Ziggy Stardust look, revealed the secrets behind the transformation as she said: “I used to do David’s mum’s hair and I got introduced to Angie to cut David’s hair off. I never thought I would be talking about him 52 years later.”

Revealing how the orange spiked hair came about, she said: “He showed me a photo of a girl with spiky hair and said, ‘Can you do that?’ I thought, ‘This is a girl’s hairstyle. I didn’t have the dye. No one had products in those days. So I went away and found the colour and used this anti-dandruff treatment called Guard, and it set hair like stone.”

She added: “With that bright red hair, he looked incredible. He looked like Ziggy Stardust. The ladies loved Bowie and the band in their glam rock outfits.”

This US skincare brand has just launched in the UK, and one product in particular is already proving popular: a lightweight moisturiser with impressive wrinkle-reducing results

Lots of products promise to miraculously reduce wrinkles, however it can be hard to know which ones are really worth buying – but we’ve found a newly launched lightweight moisturiser with impressive clinical results, before-and-after photos and customer reviews all praising its skin-enhancing benefits.

Viral US skincare brand INNBEAUTY Project recently launched over here in the UK in Sephora stores and on the Sephora website, much to the joy of beauty fans, and one product in particular has grabbed our attention for its non-greasy texture and noticeable results: its Recharge Gel Cream.

In the brand’s tests, 100% of users saw a significant decrease in wrinkles after seven days of using this, and it’s clinically proven to deeply hydrate skin by 53% after just one application.

INNBEAUTY Project’s Recharge Gel Cream, priced at £49, is a hydrating moisturiser containing a combination of smart ingredients: orchid stem cells, peptides and a plant-derived retinol alternative. Together these work to target fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, dullness and loss of firmness, in apparently as little as one week.

And it’s not just INNBEAUTY Project that’s saying this – this cream has dozens of five-star reviews on the Sephora website, praising its results on the skin:

“I am loving this Recharge Smoothing & Plumping Moisturizer!” one person wrote. “I’ve been using it for about a week now and am already seeing some nice results, specifically on my forehead. It’s visibly reducing the look of my fine lines and makes my skin look more supple. I can’t wait to see how my skin looks after continued use.”

“This moisturizer is such a gem!” another agreed. “The texture feels silky and lightweight, but it gives my skin deep hydration that lasts all day. I love that it sinks in quickly without leaving a greasy or sticky layer—perfect under make-up or on its own. My skin looks plump, smooth, and has a nice healthy glow after using it consistently.”

“I’ve been using the Recharge Plumping Gel Cream and I’m honestly impressed,” a third echoes. “It feels super refreshing, hydrates right away, and makes my skin look smoother and more radiant. Within a week, I noticed my fine lines were softer and my skin barrier felt stronger.”

Some, however, weren’t so keen on the packaging: “The only this I don’t like about this product is the packaging,” one comment reads. “It’s way too big and bulky for 50ml that we’re getting.”

Got drier skin and after a richer alternative? Beauty buffs may have found just that with this Elizabeth Grant Collagen Re-Inforce 3D Advanced Face Lift Night Cream, which has shoppers exclaiming, “Everyone thinks I’ve had Botox.”

Available to shop at Debenhams, this hydrating night cream is formulated with five different types of collagen and Torricelumn that work to fortify the skin while visibly improving the appearance of skin firmness and facial contours, while smoothing lines and restoring plumpness to the complexion.

On the cheaper end, this No7 Lift & Luminate TRIPLE ACTION Night Cream is available for £29.95, or this L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Face Moisturiser Triple Action Anti-Ageing Night Cream for £29.99.

The drummer and Beatles legend is back out on tour with his All Starr Band heading around America

Ringo Starr has admitted he has not yet watched the new ninth Beatles anthology programme coming out on Disney+ in November 26 – he’s been too busy making new music.

The Beatles legend, 85, heads out on the road again this week with his All Star Band and speaking from rehearsals, he said: “I think the new version of the anthology that’s coming out is great, but I haven’t seen Episode 9, so I can’t tell you anything about it. It’s gonna be a surprise to me, too.”

Ringo also confirmed rumours he has just finished a new album in the studio, his second country LP in a row and third of his career. He is again working with top producer T Bone Burnett. Look Up was Ringo’s acclaimed Country album with T Bone released in January which garnered him his first UK number 1 and saw him chart in the Top 10 on numerous Billboard Charts.

On the follow up drummer RIngo said: “I loved making the record, and T-Bone is great, and musical, and he just knows his stuff, and it was very easy, you know, he made it easy for me. So I’ve just finished my part in, another country album.

“I love country music, so there’s no problems with it. I’ve written two songs on the next one, and we do a cover of a Carl Perkins song. My first recordings with the Beatles were Carl Perkins songs. I love Carl.

“So anyway, next year, I believe, we’re coming out with, another country album.”

Ringo also has a new art exhibition he will visit in Vegas when he plays at the Venetian this month. It contains giant 8 foot by 10 foot paintings he created by spinning the canvas and throwing paint, a style once adopted by Damien Hirst. Ringo said: “I’ve been doing spin art, because I saw the guys on the computer and there were, like, two kids they had this canvas and then they attach it to a household drill. And it was like, wow! Of course.

“I didn’t go that way. I’ve got a great machine that spins it round. And we started with 10x8s feet.

“Biggies, and yeah, it’s something else I do, you know? I love it, and I do it at home.”

Ringo was speaking from the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee where he has been rehearsing with bandmates Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Hamish Stuart, Warren Ham, Buck Johnson and Gregg Bissonette. They make up Ringo & His All Starr Band who are now on tour, which kicks off tonight (September 10) at the Chicago Theatre before heading out around America including two residencies in Las Vegas.

Ringo also has the art exhibition at Animazing Art Gallery from September-October 15 in the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas, his first show since 2019.

The full dates for the All Starr Band tour are:

September 2025:

The Beatles’ landmark ‘Anthology’ TV series and albums from 30 years ago have been restored and remastered and will be available for fans around the world in November – with extra unseen footage.

Disney+ announced The Anthology, originally shown on ITV in 1995 and also released as a three part music collection, will now return in its “ultimate form”.

On screen it will become a nine part series, as well as a four volume music collection, and in print there will be a new book.

The Anthology featured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr candidly telling their own story, with all its complexities and contradictions with new interviews from three of the fab four, with Lennon having died in 1980.

It traces the legendary journey that began in Liverpool and Hamburg and soon captivated the world. Rare archival footage of their live performances and rehearsals also featured in the series.

And it introduced The Beatles to new generations of viewers and listeners and marked the start of a creative and commercial afterlife that continues to this day.

There is now a completely new Episode Nine, including unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Paul, George and Ringo coming together between 1994 and 1995 to work on “The Anthology” and reflecting on their shared life as The Beatles.

Both Prince Harry and King Charles are both set to be in London today potentially carving out a window of opportunity for a long-awaited meeting – their first since February 2024

A potential reunion between Prince Harry and his father King Charles is hotting up with both looking set to be in London at the same time today.

Charles was expected to travel back to the capital from Balmoral last night but is now thought to be coming back later today. Harry is set to visit Imperial College London where he will be at the Centre for Blast Injury Studies, which he opened 12 years ago – potentially carving out a window of opportunity for a long-awaited meeting in between this engagement and another this evening.

However, Prince William, who is also estranged from his brother, is almost 150 miles away in Cardiff today to mark World Suicide Prevention Day, meaning he will not likely cross paths with Harry or Charles.

The King and his youngest son have not seen each other in almost 20 months since Harry dashed to the UK to see his dad after he revealed his cancer diagnosis in February 2024.

It is understood both sides would like a meeting to happen, with a source close to the Duke of Sussex saying: “As Harry has stated before, he’d love to see his family and be reconciled.”

However, both Buckingham Palace and Harry’s office have refused to comment on whether a meeting between the two men is scheduled.

Harry previously said he would love to heal wounds with his family but admitted that “some members of my family will never forgive me” after he wrote his controversial memoir, Spare.

He told the BBC in May that Charles had not been speaking to him due to his court battle over his security, which he lost, and that he does not know “how much longer my father has”.

The Duke has reportedly not been offered a place to stay at a royal residence and is staying at a hotel at his own expense during his trip to the UK.

Harry candidly admitted that some of his relatives might never forgive him after railing against them in his and Meghan’s infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey as well as in their controversial Netflix series and his bombshell memoir, Spare.

He said: “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.” He added: “But you know, I would love reconciliation with my family,” and said there was “no point in continuing to fight anymore”.

Meanwhile, senior aides to the King and Harry were pictured together in London this July in what was was understood to have been an initial step towards opening channels of communication between the two sides.

Harry is expected to be in the UK until tomorrow before leaving the country. Yesterday, on the second day of his visit, he hailed his £1.1 million personal donation to support young people affected by youth violence as an “investment in futures” and urged others to step up.

He had been highlighting the issue of knife crime in Nottingham and revealed his love of “banging” jerk chicken. The Duke announced his gift to BBC Children in Need, which has come from his own money rather than his Archewell Foundation, during a visit to the Community Recording Studio (CRS) in Nottingham.

He told invited guests in a speech: “This isn’t just charity, it’s an investment.” The prince added: “An investment in futures, in hope, in keeping young people safe. But I know my contribution alone is not enough. Real change requires all of us: government, police, schools, charities, and importantly, businesses, stepping up and working together.”

A spokesman for the Duke confirmed the donation was from Harry personally, rather than his Archewell charity. A large proportion is expected to go to the CRS with the rest distributed to other local causes that support young people affected by violence.

Talk show icon, Oprah Winfrey, looks almost unrecognisable in her latest social media snap in which she shows off the results of her three stone weight loss

Oprah Winfrey looks incredible in her latest social media post in which she shows off her new figure after admitting to using medication to help her lose weight.

The talk show icon, 71, said she used the GLP-1 agonist drug – whose brand names include Ozempic and which are designed to treat diabetes, but which are now being used for weight loss – in 2023.

Saying she initially thought the drug, which is used by a whole host of famous faces, would be an “easy way out”, Oprah then claimed it was a “relief” to find a “medically approved prescription for losing weight and staying healthier.”

Taking to Instagram this week, there’s no denying she looks good as she beams from ear to ear, standing in her enormous garden, sporting an elegant cerise silk blouse and black leather trousers, with her hair and makeup done to perfection.

However, holding a copy of Elizabeth Gilbert’s memoir, All the Way to the River, which she promotes in the caption, the actress disabled the comments, meaning no-one could respond to her glamorous snap.

Oprah was heavily criticised after previously slamming those using GLP-1 drugs, type-2 diabetes medication that also helps weight loss.

She once referred to the doctor-prescribed medication as an “easy way out” and denied using the drug to lose weight following years of yo-yo dieting.

However, in December 2023, the Colour Purple star who had been surrounded by rumours she was using drugs such as Ozempic for years, finally admitted the truth, after revealing she was ‘done with the shaming’.

She told People: “I now use it as I feel I need it, as a tool to manage not yo-yoing.”

Oprah added: “The fact that there’s a medically approved prescription for managing weight and staying healthier, in my lifetime, feels like relief, like redemption, like a gift, and not something to hide behind and once again be ridiculed for.

“I’m absolutely done with the shaming from other people and particularly myself,” she continued before adding she had recommended the drug to other people before deciding to take it herself.

The self-made billionaire said on an episode of The Oprah Podcast that she took a ‘GLP-1,’ formally known as a GLP-1 agonist, which works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which the body releases after eating, helping people feel full and slowing stomach emptying.

Oprah first confirmed that she was taking the drug two years ago, but did not confirm which medication she was taking. Many have speculated it’s Ozempic, a brand name GLP-1 agonist that’s been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat Type 2 diabetes – and of which weight loss is a famous side effect.
