Singer-songwriter Rita Ora has spoken about her relationship with huge artist, cheekily admiting that they are now too busy to text her back. She brought up Sabrina Carpenter whilst talking about a party she once hosted.

Sabrina, 26, was a New Year’s Eve party that Rita, 34, was once hosting in New York. She claimed that the party was already in place at the end of 2023, prior to the success of Sabrina’s song Espresso, which topped the charts after its release in April of last year.

Sabrina appeared on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2024 at the end of 2023, with the show having been co-hosted by Rita and Ryan Seacrest for the last two years. Sabrina performed a medley of her songs Feather and Nonsense, before speaking to Rita in the live broadcast.

On the podcast In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele, Rita mentioned Sabrina attending her party, which she claimed was held at a house with a basketball court. She teased Sabrina for not responding to her texts before calling it “joking.”

Owen Thiele, a host of the podcast, admitted to trying to get an invitation to the party. He continued, “I’ve heard you’re having a New Year’s Eve party.” I did, indeed, I do have them, Rita responded. Oh no, because I did the [live TV] show.

Owen responded, “I didn’t realize you were hosting the f***ing ball drop.” I texted you while trying to be sneaky, saying, “wait, I just saw you in New York.” Literally, to try to get a party invite on New Year’s Eve.

The actor continued, asking Rita, “And you go, babe, are you at the ball drop?” ‘. Then I turn on the TV and realize that she is hosting the ball drop. ‘”. She continued, “Yeah, and I couldn’t text back because it’s like live TV.”

In the episode that was released this month, Owen continued, “I was so embarrassed but then you invited me and then I came.” Sabrina arrived, Rita said. And it was “amazing” as well.

Rita continued, “This was like, I believe, the peak before it became Espresso, and then everybody is like can’t get hold of Sabrina anymore.” She laughed out loud, “But it was the time when she would text me back.”

She continued, “No, I’m joking.” Owen asked, “Can I tell you something, about Sabrina?” She is Hollywood’s busiest woman.

Rita responded, stating that Sabrina had been “exaggerating” and that she had been texting her back. She responded, “No, I get it.” I’m also busy. No I’m so… I’m exaggerating. She responds via text. She is incredibly sweet.

Kate Middleton’s reaction to Donald Trump’s bizarre ‘healthy and beautiful’ speech

On Wednesday, the US President addressed some 160 guests at the Windsor Castle State Banquet, paying particular attention to the Princess of Wales.

Donald Trump has seemingly taken a fresh swipe at Prince Harry while praising both Prince William and his ‘beautiful’ wife, Princess Kate.

The President and his wife Melania were guests of honour at a lavish State Banquet in St George’s Hall inside Windsor Castle, hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla on Wednesday evening.

And Trump addressed the 160 guests who had been invited for the special occasion, and paid tribute to the royals – making a special effort to single out the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The President, who was seated between Charles and Kate, also expressed his appreciation for raising a remarkable son and, uh, really amazing Prince of Wales. We’ve met you, and I believe you have a fantastic future and success.

Melania and I are thrilled to see Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, who is so radiant, healthy, and beautiful, during our next visit together with Prince William, he said, speaking to the Princess. It’s truly a great honor. “Thank you.”

Kate could be seen giggling and bowing her head in gratitude in response to Mr. Trump’s gushing words.

Trump has previously referred to the beauty of the Princess in his UK visit. As their helicopter Marine One touched down in Windsor Castle on Wednesday afternoon, Wilma and Kate welcomed the president and first lady.

The president appeared to say, “Hello, my friend,” as the prince was first greeted with a handshake and the president was affectionately patting the prince’s right arm. “How are you?” She smiled broadly as he appeared to say, “You’re so beautiful, so beautiful. You’re so beautiful.

The US leader added that this was “one of the highest honors of my life, such respect for you and such respect for your country” in his speech at the State Banquet.

A state banquet features lavish food and wine, speeches, royal toasts, trumpet fanfares, and state banquets.

For Trump’s visit, the 160 guests ate from a menu, written in French, which translated as: Hampshire Watercress Panna Cotta with Parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad; Organic Norfolk chicken ballotine wrapped in courgettes with a thyme and savoury infused jus; Vanilla ice cream bombe with Kentish raspberry sorbet interior with lightly poached Victoria plums.

Melania Trump dazzles in yellow gown but critics spot ‘inappropriate’ detail

On Wednesday, September 17, guests at Windsor Castle had the opportunity to dress up for the state banquet. However, some people thought Melania Trump’s yellow gown was inappropriate because of one particular detail.

Donald Trump was treated like royalty as he and his wife, Melania Trump, dined at Windsor Castle. However, one talking point for critics was the outfits worn by the main guests. Melania wore a bold bright yellow Carolina Herrera yellow gown with a pink belt for the state banquet at Windsor Castle yesterday (Wednesday, September 17).

She opted to wear her hair down, styled in soft waves, and accessorised with turquoise, dangly earrings to complete the look. However, many were quick to comment on the daring style of Melania’s dress, which bared her shoulders. This was contrasted to Kate Middleton’s Phillipa Lepley full-length hand-embroidered gold lace evening coat worn over a silk crepe gown.

Camilla wore a floor length royal blue Fiona Clare gown, a sapphire and diamond tiara, and a diamond necklace.

The First Lady, Princess of Wales and Queen Camilla all wore floor-sweeping dresses but Melania’s was deemed to be inappropriate because it was off-the-shoulder and showed a bit of skin.

Without prior authorization, content cannot be displayed.

Women in the Royal Family typically wear modest, conservative clothing to formal events, like state banquets.

Fashion etiquette expert, Lucy Hulme, who featured on The Royal Family Channel on YouTube in November 2021, has shared that guests are expected to follow dress code rules when meeting a member of the Royal Family.

Speaking to The Independent, Hume pointed to the yearly Royal Ascat as an example, where the dress code for the primary royal enclosure requires that women’s attire for both royals and guests must “come below the knee” and have covered shoulders.

The fact that Melania’s shoulders were visible during the state banquet was not a snob to critics.

The Royal Family shared an image on Instagram showing Queen Camilla, King Charles, Donald Trump and the First Lady standing in a row for a photo during the glittering occasion.

One commenter commented on Melania’s outfit, saying, “The belt is just…nuh-uh. Although I may be mistaken, isn’t it inappropriate protocol to attend such a function? ”

Another question was raised, “Off the shoulder, what is she thinking?” A third chimed in, “That dress is inappropriate! ”

One observer thinks Melania’s choice to wear yellow was tactical.

They said, “Melania has hit the nail on the head.” Whether you like or detest it; It is effective.

She wears a color completely different from Camilla’s in the color wheel, which results in more attention for her. Despite not being a fan of Melania, she looks fantastic. ”

Brad Everett Young dead: Hollywood actor dies aged 46 in horror car crash

Hollywood photographer and actor Brad Everett Young passed away at the age of 46. Unfortunately, the star died in a collision on Los Angeles’ 134 Freeway from his injuries.

A car traveling in the opposite direction hit his car. Unfortunately, the other driver was taken to the hospital while Young tragically passed away at the scene. Young was also well-known for his photography work, and he regularly performed at awards ceremonies, galas, and premieres in the United States.

Along with David Harbour, Seth Green, Emma Caulfield Ford, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, he has taken some well-known photos over the years. He also appeared in Jurassic Park III, Grey’s Anatomy, and Boy Meets World.

In front of the camera and behind it, Brad (Getty Images for Paramount Pictu) made a similar impression.

His publicist Paul Christensen stated in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter that Brad had an unmatched love for both the arts and the people who supported them. Dream Loud Official was founded by Young with a passion for the arts.

The organization’s goals are to restore and maintain music and art programs in US public schools. He continued, “His legacy will be left behind by Dream Loud Official, and he lived his mission to keep creativity alive.”

Young initially intended to work in medicine, but he changed his plans and instead opted to work in acting. He claimed in 2015 that L.A. was the only place I could make those decisions given the variety of job opportunities the town offered.

I auditioned for my first TV series audition in the first month of this, and the rest is history. I fell in love with everything about this industry, as well as the struggle and perseverance required to achieve your goals.

The actor also worked as a photographer
The photographer (Universal Pictures) also worked with the actor.

We won’t see another like him, writes General Hospital star Chris McKenna, who has received numerous tributes for Young.

One of the kindest and most giving people I have ever met was Parry Shan, a different General Hospital star, who added, “Bradley Everett Young was one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever met.” But his unwavering optimism was what made him truly stand out in this industry, which was frequently filled with cynicism.

A lovely man who treated both the photographers and the fans in his photos. Such a tragic, tragic loss His family and friends may I comfort him. One fan wrote, “RIP Brad Everett Young.”

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s sharp three-word order for how they should be addressed

Due to their decision to step down from their respective official Royal Family duties, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, no longer use HRH titles.

In 2020, Harry and Meghan resigned from their respective royal responsibilities.

In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to step away from official royal duties – and over the following years, this has often led to confusion over how the couple should be referred to.

Scott Moore, the CEO of Prince Harry’s Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, revealed the surprising way he was told to address Meghan Markle. The advice he received was a far cry from the traditional form of address for a former senior Royal.

As detailed in Richard Eden’s column for the Daily Mail last year, Moore shared: “I did make sure to ask how I should be addressing them when they get here.” He was informed that a simple “‘Ma’am’ is fine.’ He was also told a simple ‘Sir’ was fine to address the Duke of Sussex.”

Typically, male members of the Royal Family are first addressed as ‘Your Royal Highness’, followed by ‘Sir’, while female members are referred to as ‘Your Royal Highness’, and then ‘Ma’am’.

Harry and Meghan
In a recent interview, Harry refrained from claiming to be miserable and that he is “very happy.”

However, after Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back as senior working royals in 2020, they were stripped of their HRH titles. This means they cannot be addressed as Your Royal Highness, but they can retain their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles, reports Gloucestershire Live.

The choice for Prince Harry to be addressed with formal titles such as Sir and ‘Ma’am’ for Meghan Markle starkly contrasts his earlier stance in 2020. At that time, during a tourism conference in Edinburgh, Harry famously insisted on informality. Ayesha Hazarika, the event host, disclosed: “He’s made it clear that we are all just to call him Harry.”

Instead of Mountbatten-Windsor, the two-year-olds Archie and Lilibet, who are five years old, have adopted the surname “Sussex,” breaking with a royal custom established in 1960. Following advice from her counsellors, the Queen decreed that all of her male-line ancestors would bear the Mountbatten-Windsor surname.

In an interview last week, Harry insisted that he did not regret his decision to publish details about his family in his autobiography, Spare. He told The Guardian: “My conscience is clear.”

Harry continued by saying he will “always love the UK” and refuted claims that he was unhappy with his life, adding, “Something about this talk about me being down or saying I’m not smiling is where you see it.” People who believe they are aware of what I’m thinking and feeling are doing this. They are incorrect.
