At the MTV Video Music Awards, pop star Sabrina Carpenter reportedly resembled Ariana Grande in a bizarre move by wrapping her hands around her neck.

Ariana Grande had a very close encounter with Sabrina Carpenter backstage as she suddenly had her hands wrapped around her neck. The Wicked actress and pop star, 32, took home a string of accolades at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, but Sabrina’s actions caught the eyes of fans more.

As they posed in a bizarre embrace, Sabrina, 26, was spotted holding Ariana’s neck. As the pair posed for a glam snap backstage, she appeared to be playfully strangling Ariana.

Sabrina stunned in a shimmering corset bodysuit with a frayed hem, while Ariana looked stunning in a black and white cut out gown. It occurred shortly after Ariana, who won two awards, was accused of stifling Sabrina during the ceremony.

The top pop stars were pictured chatting and hugging when Sabrina, who won three awards, entered for another embrace in a now-viral clip. Ariana’s awkward interaction resulted from her not extending her arms around Sabrina.

The seemingly contented exchange between the pair was immediately spotted by fans, some even accusing Ariana of being a “fake.” Some people thought she wasn’t particularly fond of Sabrina, the singer from Please Please Please.

Ariana triumphed over Lady Gaga during the ceremony as she picked up the top honour of Video of the Year for Brighter Days Ahead.

She was able to defeat The Weeknd &amp, Playboi Carti – Timeless, Lady Gaga &amp, Bruno Mars – Die With a Smile, Rosé &amp, Bruno Mars – Apt., Sabrina Carpenter – Manchild, and Billie Eilish – Birds of a Feather – Not Like Us.

Ariana stated on stage that the hard work involved in bringing back our young selves, including safety and our own lives, is a lifelong process that requires daily exercise.

“I promise there will be better days ahead if you’re on their journey, so please continue.” This is absurd. She also won Best Pop in Brighter Days Ahead.

Ariana won over Alex Warren, Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars and Sabrina. “Thank you so much,” she said on stage. “Oh, my god.

“This is so kind,” he said. I appreciate you so much. I was extremely anxious. I must first say thank you to my fans. I’m going to cry.

I believe I broke this, I believe. I believe I broke it. I must say thanks to my fans first and foremost. I vouch for you with every ounce of my being. She then thanked the entire team who produced the music video and for their tireless efforts to give personal thanks the entire night.

“I love making this record with you more than anything in the entire world. It was life-changing, thank you for championing me as a songwriter and producer. I love you so much. Thank you to my therapist. And gay people, I love you.”

Yungblud helped to lead the tributes to Ozzy Osbourne, who died earlier this year, during an emotional performance at the Video Music Awards in the United States overnight

Yungblud paid a subtle but heartbreaking tribute to Ozzy Osbourne during the MTV Video Music Awards. The Black Sabbath icon died aged 76 in July, just days after performing in his farewell show.

Aerosmith and Yungblud came together once again alongside Nuno Bettencourt to pay tribute to Ozzy at the music event, whilst viewers and celebrities at the event were shown a moving montage featuring Ozzy’s children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Jessica.

In a post before the event, he shared online: “They’ve asked me to pay tribute to you at the @vmas on Sunday night. I’ll try my best to do you proud Oz. Tune in from up there. I love you forever.”

However, fans were quick to notice Yungblud’s secret tribute to Ozzy. One wrote: “Dom playing crazy train with the necklace ozzy gave him still on,” with Yungblud previously saying the necklace was “the most precious thing I own”.

Yungblud has been paying tribute to Ozzy following his death, describing him as his “hero”.

In a lengthy post, he wrote: “I’m trying to compute the last couple days and honestly I’m absolutely fucking shattered. You have been my North Star for everything for as long as I can remember from when I was misunderstood as a child to the way people thought I was just a little “too much” or “strange” in my life and career.

“I owe so much to you, your wife and your family – you all gave me a road to run down and supported me when people would turn their nose up. You loved life so much and you adored music. It was your smile man.”

He added: “You taught me it was beautiful to be out of the box. I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life’s journey to keep the sprit that you started and what you have taught me alive. I will give it my best shot. “To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life’s greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. You’re my hero in every regard. I hope you’re up there avin a drink with Randy. For the prince of darkness you sure brought all the light to the world. I love you Ozzy.”

Olivia Attwood is believed to have had a bitter falling out with her close friend and former assistant and stylist Ryan Kay, and now she has addressed the situation

Hurt Olivia Attwood says she ‘didn’t see things I should have’ after breaking her silence on her fall out with one-time BFF.

Former friend and former assistant/stylist Ryan Kay is said to have completely cut Olivia from his life and is believed to have sided with her husband Bradley Dack, amid all the attention into her marriage following her holiday with pal Pete Wicks. The pair used to be so close that they’ve even got matching tattoos.

“Things have turned really sour between Olivia and Ryan,” a source revealed last week. “They are refusing to tell people exactly what went on but they aren’t speaking – or even following each other online. It’s very sad because he has been such a huge part of her life. It’s also very awkward for people like Georgia [Harrison], who are close to both of them.”

After the falling out, Olivia vowed to share the truth when the time is right and last night she decided to offer some clues. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she said: “I’m just very hurt if I’m honest. Prior to what you might have read, I had to respect myself and draw a line.

“It was something that played out over a couple of months. I guess I hadn’t seen things I should of. I think?? I give everything (in every sense of the word) to friendships and I don’t let many people inso it suckkkss. It’s not something I can really explain in a Story but I will at some point.”

Last week, Liv she said: “So grateful for my small circle that gets smaller the longer I am in this industry – the ones who don’t feed the press with false narratives. Andddd I do hate to be proven wrong especially when lots of people tried to warn you. But you live and learn I guesssssssss.. We can chat about what’s be going on soon – I know you have questions, but just not this week because incase you haven’t noticed I’m kinda busy.”

On Thursday, stylist Ryan appeared to hit back at Olivia’s scathing post as he confirmed that he’s working with her Loose Women co-star, GK Barry. Olivia’s ex-best friend shared a photo of his suitcase as he excitedly said that he had a fun day ahead working with the former I’m A Celebrity…. Get Me Out of Here! star.

Alongside it, he mentioned that GK Barry, 26, is the ‘kindest’ and most ‘beautiful’ star. Ryan typed: “And just like that he’s back on teh road with some of the kindest and most beautiful creatives. Let’s go.”

Sources close to Ryan have told the Mirror that “there wasn’t any toxicity, betrayal or fallout between the pair” and the former friends are “simply no longer working” together. He has no ill will towards Olivia and has immense respect and admiration for her so there was no betrayal between them,” an insider says of Ryan’s thoughts on his former boss.

It has been claimed that Ryan is not impressed by the pictures of Olivia and Pete on their holiday and that he reached out to Bradley.

However, a source told the Mirror: “It’s known that Bradley has never liked Ryan and was consistently wary of his intentions, and Ryan and Brad have never communicated separately outside of Olivia.”

Following the speculation into the state of their marriage, Olivia and Bradley stepped out together. Just hours before, Bradley was reported to be furious about the pictures of Pete and Olivia. However, Olivia and Bradley have insisted the recent photos haven’t come between them.

Speaking to The Mirror, Olivia candidly said that though their marriage isn’t perfect, it’s still good. Brad and I do have a lovely relationship. But also, I’m not perfect, he’s not perfect, it’s not the perfect relationship. But it’s a good relationship,” she said.

“That’s the thing that we all learn. There is no such thing as perfect. If you leave someone because of a certain set of issues, you’ll find someone with a new set of issues.”

The Goonies star Martha Plimpton has revealed she’s received a life-changing diagnosis at 50-years-old as she admits she is now ‘finally free’ and ‘not ashamed’

The Goonies actress Martha Plimpton has revealed she’s received a life-changing diagnosis. The film star, 54, received the diagnosis later in life and has admitted she is “finally free”.

She said things have started to feel right now and that she is “not ashamed”. Martha shared how she was diagnosed with ADHD four years ago, when she was 50.

According to the NHS, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a condition where the brain works differently to most people. People with ADHD may have trouble with things like concentrating and sitting still.

“I’m actually a late diagnosis ADHD, like millions of others. It was actually a huge relief to be diagnosed,” Martha said a the premiere of her HBO mini series Task.

She added: “So many little things fell into place and made sense that hadn’t made sense before. I’m glad to be sharing my ADHDness with the world.”

ADHD is thought to be recognised in men more than women. The NHS say this may be because women with ADHD more commonly have inattentive symptoms, which can be harder to recognise than hyperactive symptoms.

Martha proudly wore a diamond necklace featuring the letters ADHD as she attended the event for her upcoming TV project. Earlier this year, the Goonies marked its 40th anniversary.

Back in 1985, the much-adored film introduced us to a bunch of plucky kids known as the Goonies who embarked on an epic quest to unearth the fabled pirate treasure of One-Eyed Willy.

Martha portrayed Stef, Andy’s witty best mate in the iconic 80s movie. She appeared alongside Andy, who was played by actress Kerri Green. After the Goonies, Kerri featured in films like Lucas in 1986 and Three for the Road in 1987, before withdrawing from the spotlight.

She later co-founded Independent Women Artists, a film production company, and directed the film Bellyfruit, which tackles teen pregnancy. Post-Goonies, Martha has had a varied career spanning film, TV, and theatre.

Her role in the television series Raising Hope, which aired from 2010 to 2014, earned her critical praise. She has also featured in shows like The Good Wife and Younger.

She briefly dated actor River Phoenix and remained close with him until his tragic death in 1993. Martha spoke of his substance abuse and previously said: “When we split up, a lot of it was that I had learned that screaming, fighting, and begging wasn’t going to change him. He had to change himself, and he didn’t want to yet.”

Martha has become a vocal advocate for reproductive rights and co-founded the organisation A Is For. She continues to act and splits her time between Brooklyn, London, and Los Angeles. Her latest acting gig was in The Regime in 2024.
