This Morning star Dr Zoe Williams was in tears as she urged followers to donate to trusted organisations that would help provide food, water, medicine and shelter to Palestinians. At least 21 Palestinian children have died of malnutrition and starvation in the past few days – with another 70,000 now suffering malnutrition, medical officials have recently declared.

Dr Mohammed Abu Salmiya, director of Shifa hospital in Gaza City, says a further 900,000 children are having to go without food and have been hit by hunger. World Health Organisation Director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the UN and its humanitarian partners weren’t able to deliver any food for nearly 80 days between March and May while Israel’s blockade of aid was in place.

He added that the resumption of deliveries has been insufficient. Amid the humanitarian crisis, This Morning star Dr Zoe took to her Instagram page to share a muted clip of her tearing up on a train.

She wrote over the video, “Many of these children’s fate has already been decided,” which is sickening, heartbreaking, and despicable.

You reach a point where no amount of food or medical assistance can make you healthy again because the harm to vital organs has already been done. This is how starvation works.

“We keep seeing the numbers that have already died of starvation,” according to the statement. Children advance past the point of no return with each passing minute and each hour.

In her caption, Dr. Zoe also urged followers to “do what you can! ” And take action right away! 1. Donate to trusted organizations like All Our Relations, UNRWA, Medical Aid for Palestinians, and UNRWA. Even small donations can help to provide emergency shelter, food, and water.

She added: “2. Prepare for Political Change. Governments can be influenced to make decisions or alter policies by political pressure. You can write to your MP demanding a ceasefire, access to humanitarian aid, and accountability for human rights violations. You can also sign verified petitions. “.

One user wrote, “Thank you for using your platform to raise awareness and I pray that a miracle happens to help REVIVE humanity to care,” in response to the star’s message in the comment section.

Another user posted, “Utterly heartbreaking, can’t sleep at night thinking of those affected, hugs.”

It is understandable that those who are able to bring about change don’t do more, they say. “There are no words,”

More than 100 human rights organizations have issued a warning about widespread starvation in Gaza this week, citing “total depleted” supplies as evidence.

Following a rumor that she had broken up with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater earlier in the week, Katie Price took to social media to break her silence.

It looks like Katie Price has had enough of the rumours surrounding her love life, with the mum-of-five posting a telling statement on social media regarding her romance with JJ Slater. The update from Katie comes after friends claimed he’d moved out and they had called it quits.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that Katie, 47, and Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, 31, had parted ways. Closer magazine claimed the couple had “gone their separate ways” with JJ allegedly having “packed his bags and moved out”.

However, Katie appears to have quashed these rumours by posting a picture featuring JJ prominently. Via her Instagram stories, Katie uploaded an image showing JJ positioned at a laptop.

The reality TV star’s hair and makeup were applied during a photo shoot. JJ was seated at a table in the image. So Katie and JJ’s relationship appears to be continuing.

Following a turbulent whirlwind romance, the couple eventually became a item at the end of 2023, but an insider earlier this week claimed Katie has grown “bored” and that JJ has “lost his sparkle.”

“JJ has already moved out and packed his bags, and Katie and JJ have made a decision to separate.” In the end, Katie has grown bored. A source revealed to Closer that JJ’s friends and family had been in the dark about how she treated him like a doormat and how he had lost his shine.

The insider went on to say that Katie isn’t upset about returning to being single and has numerous options for DMs, including making quips about men and handbags to her partner.

Katie isn’t upset, JJ has seen the messages, DM’s swaying in and out from other men, and so on. She even joked, “New house, new start! ” with her pal. Handbags are more useful than handbags, according to the men I change. He is devastated, but Katie asserts that she hasn’t sexted other men or been unfaithful.

The source stated that Katie enjoys the thrill of the chase and being chased when she talks about her romantic patterns. She’s in if it’s bad.

adding that “She is a self-proclaimed addict to anything that gives her a rush and instant gratification.” She anticipates her next hit, but sadly JJ is just another victim of collateral damage.

Just last month, Katie was spotted relaxing with a number of untrained blokes in Ibiza while the getaway reportedly made JJ worried about their relationship. She has always led a life that requires her to flirt and cosy up to people, according to a source who spoke to OK!

The former Page 3 stunner was pictured partying alongside controversial ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney and nightclub mogul Wayne Lineker, who owns the island’s renowned O Beach club.

In a May interview with Paul C. Brunson’s podcast, Katie suggested that her relationship with JJ was at risk. She expressed concern for neglecting her mates and spending too much time with JJ.

It’s natural to want to be with someone whenever you meet them, she said. You’re with them forever because of the mistakes I’ve made in the past. She continued, “I’m a little concerned that I’ve got that with JJ.”

Ozzy Osbourne on daughter Kelly’s powerful act after his Parkinson’s diagnosis

Ozzy Osbourne announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2020, and said his daughter Kelly had assisted in this diagnosis and other health issues.

The late Ozzy Osbourne credited his youngest daughter Kelly Osbourne with having helped him in the wake of being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The musician spoke about her whilst sharing the diagnosis five years ago.

It was announced in 2020 that Ozzy had been diagnosed with a form of Parkinson’s the year before. After sharing his condition, he continued to raise awareness of the condition, which can include a range of symptoms, in the years since then and has been praised by two charities this week following the news of his death on Tuesday.

Ozzy’s diagnosis was first shared in an interview on Good Morning America. He began by saying: “I found out that I have a mild form of …” He looked to his wife Sharon Osbourne, who said: “It’s Parkin 2, which is a form of Parkinson’s.”

The couple were also joined by their children Kelly and Jack Osbourne for the interview with Robin Roberts in 2020. It was revealed that Kelly had helped her dad Ozzy, who had experienced a “bad fall” shortly before his Parkinson’s diagnosis, “get back on his feet” and into the recording studio.

Kelly responded to Kelly’s diagnosis with the statement, “We just kept going everyday and the magic that happens, I think, when you’re in pain.” She was interrupted by Ozzy as he pointed to his youngest daughter, saying, “She’s the one! I would still be lying on the couch if it weren’t for her.

According to Kelly, “I don’t know my dad’s happiness; I know that all I can do is make him smile.” So I grabbed him, took him to the studio, and that was all I did. He was the only thing left.

Ozzy claimed the diagnosis came after he was left with nerve damage from surgery in response to his fall in 2019, and he claimed the album Ordinary Man was made. After its release in 2020, the album reached its highest position at No. 3.

Kelly also mentioned how the family noticed Parkinson’s symptoms in the Good Morning America interview. She claimed that her brother, Jack, “first,” noticed the symptoms and that it was “really strange.”

Kelly remarked, “It’s really strange how this works because there are days when I walk in this house and I’m like, “There is absolutely nothing wrong with him.” Then you return the following day and nothing happens, but it seems like he can’t feel his arm or get off the couch.

Ozzy claimed that he was experiencing cold in his legs and numbness in one arm while speaking in another interview. The musician and his wife said they were unsure whether the surgery caused any of the symptoms or whether Parkinson’s was the cause.

Although Parkinson’s is not a “death sentence,” Sharon explained to host Robin. It does affect some nerves. Five years ago, she said, “You have a good day, a good day, and then a really bad day.”

Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson’s husband left his family huge sum in his will after sad death

After his passing in September, Doctor Malcolm Donaldson, the husband of Julia Donaldson from The Gruffalo, left a sizable will.

Julia Donaldson, the husband of Doctor Malcolm Donaldson, left a staggering sum in his will.

After passing away at the age of 75, Doctor Malcolm Donaldson, the husband of Julia Donaldson from The Gruffalo, left a staggering sum in his will. Up until his retirement in 2012, Dr. Donaldson served as a senior lecturer in child health and a paediatric consultant at the University of Glasgow.

He was appointed honorary senior research fellow at the School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Nursing after he retired. Those who treated him at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow nicknamed him “Dr. Gruffalo.”

Julia Donaldson, the author of The Gruffalo, is Dr. Donaldson’s wife. Since 1999, she has sold a staggering 13.5 million copies of the book. After his death, it has been revealed that he left a sizable sum to Julia and their family in his will.

Probate documents have revealed that Dr Donaldson left an estate, which was valued at a huge £1,322,528. His will, written in 2020, said that he wanted his estate to go to his family.

Tributes poured in for Dr. Donaldson at the time of his death. His contributions will continue to be felt in the field of pediatric endocrinology and child health in the UK, Europe, and beyond, according to the British Society for Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes (BSPED). You will miss him dearly, but he will be forever remembered by all of you who knew him. “

At the time of Malcolm’s passing, Axel Scheffler, the illustrator of the Gruffalo books, wrote in a tribute to him: “I have known him for 30 years and have always admired his enthusiasm for our books, Julia’s work, and children’s books in general.

“All this beside being a paediatric consultant and giving lectures all over the world. His true passion was performing with Julia on stage, playing the guitar and acting – especially his legendary suave role of the Fox in The Gruffalo. He will be deeply missed.”

Julia claimed in an interview last year that Julia’s most well-known character, the Gruffalo, “gave the attention.” She added, “I believe everyone has heard of The Gruffalo, even those who haven’t read the book.”

I’ll admit that I enjoy it when people mention one of my other books because they think The Gruffalo is a little spoilt. Really, he hogs too much attention.

She acknowledged that she didn’t believe the book would even be published, adding, “I didn’t really believe it was going to be published.” I was unsure. I had received a number of rejections from other stories I’d written.

Before his depressing passing in September of last year, Dr. Donaldson was married to Julia for more than five decades.

Queen Elizabeth’s clever reason for dressing in bright colours and matching coat and hat

Around 200 pieces of clothing and accessories from throughout her life will be displayed in a significant new exhibition that will open in Buckingham Palace in the spring, nearly half of which have never been publicly displayed.

She once said of herself, ‘I have to be seen to be believed’. And during her 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II used her wardrobe, and impeccable sense of fashion, to ensure exactly that.

From her stunning evening gowns and countryside chic to her love of silk headscarves and vibrant colour-blocking outfits with matching hats, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch was also one of the world’s greatest style icons.

The Queen used the manner in which she served in public for seven decades to effectively conduct diplomacy on the global stage and in subtle expression of her feelings.

Now, the sartorial elegance for which she will forever be remembered is to be celebrated in a major new exhibition in Buckingham Palace next Spring, marking what would have been her 100th birthday. Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style at the King’s Gallery will feature around 200 garments and accessories from across her life, nearly half of which have never been displayed publicly.

One of the earliest surviving couture pieces from the Queen’s childhood wardrobe will be the bridesmaid dress that eight-year-old Elizabeth wore to the 1934 wedding of her uncle, the Duke of Kent, which will be on display for the first time.

According to royal biographer Ian Lloyd, the exhibit will help people remember how in tune the queen was with the power of fashion. You’ll be able to witness the evolution of her style from a young, slim, attractive queen at the age of 25 to her 20 years of changing fashion, he says.

The early fashion movement is both historically uninspired and incredibly fascinating in terms of couture. Her elaborate evening gowns, each made by Norman Hartnell, resembled wedding dresses.

Princess Beatriz wore one of them, a Hartnell dress he made for the Queen for the 1962 premiere of Lawrence of Arabia, as her wedding dress. Norman Hartnell, the queen’s designer for more than three decades, created both her 1953 Coronation dress and 1947 wedding dress, both of which will be on display in the exhibition.

However, Hardy Amies, a designer from London, is credited with beginning in the 1950s with modernizing the Queen’s wardrobe with brighter, more streamlined dresses. Queen Elizabeth typifies what I admire most about the English woman’s attitude to dress, he once said in an evening gown made of silk chiffon with gold thread embellishments she wore for a state dinner in Bahrain in 1979.

Later in her reign, and especially after the emergence of color television, Elizabeth II, author Ian Lloyd claims that she increasingly chose to wear one color head-to-toe, making a powerful visual impact.

She wore a bright primrose yellow outfit to the 1966 World Cup that stood out in the royal box at Wembley, he claims. That meant that anyone watching the game could recognize a tiny yellow figure even from a distance of a half-mile away.

She believed it to be true to her duty. Because of her bright, vivid colors, people could tell it was her because she knew they frequently caught a fleeting glimpse of her from a great distance. She paired her hat with a matching color palette.

She always dressed as the Queen and kept her true to herself. According to one of her designers, she was always dressed for a wedding, just like your mother or aunt would only get one outfit for a significant occasion every day.

“She’d be on a royal engagement in Sheffield or Birmingham and have the handbag, the pearls, the court shoes, hat and gloves. She was always dressed immaculately and presented herself in that very formal, elegant way. Today’s female royals, like Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales, don’t have the same style, they don’t wear gloves or hats in the same way.”

Ian says that in the last three decades of her life the Queen’s clothing was made in-house by her senior dresser and personal designer Angela Kelly. “It suited the modern era and the Queen’s desire to save money and ‘make do and mend’ attitude,” he says.

Additionally, it allowed the Queen to participate in the design process even more. She frequently incorporated a message into what she wore, according to Ian, and had a unique understanding of the soft power behind her clothing.

He claims that she once had the ability to dress diplomatically and that she frequently wore clothes that suited the country she was visiting. It was a diplomatic coup because she researched the nation before incorporating the national colors into her outfit.

A gown by Norman Hartnell, one of the dresses on display, incorporates Pakistan’s national colors through a dramatic green pleat cascading down the back, making it one of the displays.

Wearing an emerald green coat and hat, which were widely accepted as a sign of goodwill and reconciliation, the Queen made historic four-day visits to Ireland in 2011. Later, at a state dinner, she wore a silk dress with 2, 091 hand-embroidered shamrocks and a left-shoulder pinched, Swarovski-embellished Irish harp.

For a monarch constitutionally bound to remain mute on political issues, the Queen became known for the coded messages embedded in her choice of attire. In June 2017, almost exactly a year after Britain’s vote to leave the European Union, she addressed parliament dressed in the blue and yellow of the EU flag, with the flowers on her hat mimicking the flag’s stars.

Her brooches often wielded intent. When she met Donald Trump, during his 2019 state visit, she wore three different brooches on each day. The first had been given to her by Trump’s political nemesis Barack Obama, the second by her the Governor-General of Canada, and the third was one the Queen Mother had worn to King George VI’s funeral, a brooch inextricably tied to mourning

.

The Queen’s jewelry, hats, shoes, and accessories will also be displayed in the “Life in Style” exhibition, which will run from spring to autumn 2026, along with never-before-seen design sketches, fabric samples, and handwritten correspondence that reveal the behind-the-scenes dressing of the most famous woman in the world.

“Queen Elizabeth II’s remarkably long reign, her distinctive style became instantly recognisable around the world, bolstering the British fashion industry, and influencing generations of designers and couturiers,” said curator Caroline de Guitaut.

Only now can we share the tale of a lifetime of thoughtful style choices, from her hands-on role and understanding of the soft power behind her clothing to the outstanding craftsmanship behind each piece of clothing, as the late Queen’s fashion archive is cared for by Royal Collection Trust.

Sharon Osbourne’s fertility battle – IVF ‘torture’, six pregnancies and sad phone call

In an effort to grow their family, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were wed for more than 40 years. Unfortunately, this was unsuccessful, and Sharon later described her agony.

Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne died this week at the age of 76, leaving behind his beloved widow Sharon.

The couple were married for 43 years and endured many ups and downs along the way. Ozzy had been married once before when he met Sharon, 72, and had three children with his first wife Thelma Riley before he met his “soul mate”.

“Sharon is like my soulmate — sometimes I love her, sometimes I don’t love her, sometimes I’m angry with her, sometimes I’m crazy about her, sometimes I’m very jealous of her, sometimes I wanna f**king kill her,” the late star said last year.

Ozzy once tried to strangle his wife and had at least one long-term affair, despite the couple’s undoubtedly smitten relationship being featured in smash-hit early 2000s MTV reality show The Osbournes.

Sharon, 72, remained loyal and is said to be devastated and “fragile” following her husband’s passing, with paramedics trying to resuscitate the star for hours before he was announced dead at the couple’s home. The rocker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and had numerous other health issues, with a source telling The Mirror he was on “borrowed time”.

The Osbourne family revealed the rocker’s death on Tuesday morning in a statement released this week. Our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning, according to them, with more sadness than words can express. He was surrounded by love and his family. At this time, we ask that everyone respects our family’s privacy.

Sharon-Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39, are the parents of Ozzy and Aimee. Sharon discussed how challenging it is to work as her husband’s manager with raising their young family in an interview with Metal Hammer. She said, “I managed my husband and we had three kids.” I had three pregnancies, and I had three. We created a small family out of wood.

After Jack’s birth, the couple struggled to conceive because Sharon’s fallopian tubes were harmed by a stomach infection. She underwent “mental torture,” or IVF.

“Sadly it didn’t work,” she said in her autobiography Extreme. “I just couldn’t take that ride. The wait for results, for each phone call, was mental torture. It did me in and I couldn’t go through it again.”

Ozzy’s band Black Sabbath, which he formed with 56 years ago, played his final performance on July 6 in Birmingham. He closed the show by saying, “It’s the last song ever,” to 42, 000 fans. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to lead such a wonderful lifestyle.

The star was beloved by his fans and most of all by Sharon, of whom he said: “At the end of the day, I love her more than anything in the world. Put it this way: I couldn’t live without her. I don’t wanna live without her.”
