Elizabeth Hurley is gearing up to take her romance with Billy Ray Cyrus to the next level as she marks her milestone birthday. The actress stunned fans with her unexpected relationship as she cosied up the the Achy Breaky Heart hitmaker, 63, at Easter.

Even Liz admitted the pairing was “unexpected,” having first crossed paths on the film set of Christmas in Paradise in 2022. After production wrapped up, they didn’t exchange words for two years.

Yet it was Liz who rekindled their friendship at a time when Billy Ray needed companionship the most during his separation from his wife, Firerose. The pair seem to not be taking this slow as they have already begun to merge their lives.

Liz has since shared an insight into her plans for her 60th birthday, with Billy Ray by her side. “He should be in England for my birthday. He’ll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it’ll be lovely,” she said.

At Easter, the couple made public statements.

Opening up on her plans, she told Hello! magazine: “I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it’s a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it.”

Her plans with Billy Ray go beyond just her birthday, as Liz recently shared her wishes of creating a “great life” with the musician. Speaking with E! News, she shared: “It was unexpected. But we’re very happy together. And hopefully we’ll have a great life.”

Billy Ray has also been candid about his feelings towards the Austin Powers actress. He spoke warmly about their connection while on The Ty Bentli Show, reflecting how they bonded during the shooting of their 2022 film.

He claimed that although we only collaborated in a select few scenes, there was chemistry between the two of us. We simply laughed, and I wasn’t laughing all that much at the time.

First, how much we laughed, was the strangest part. Second, I assumed that although we were very different, we shared a lot more in common than we were different.

Billy Ray gushed, “I would take that if all we ever were]the friends that we are.” She is so brilliant in every way. She has a lot of Dolly Parton in her mind. She runs a very wise business.

If you can laugh together, you can survive any situation.

Billy Ray expressed his heartfelt condolences for his divorce, saying, “Wow, can life get any harder? ” Is it even tougher? You can’t get knocked down any flatter than lying on your back when life is kicking you, in my opinion. And a friend reached out at this precise moment.

He responded to an unidentified number before discovering that Liz was reaching out. I send a text to “Who is this?” And it’s similar to Elizabeth Hurley. This friend who made me laugh was the one who reached out to me in that moment that perhaps I needed most.

Fans are persuaded that Sam Thompson will soon have an awkward encounter with Zara McDermott’s new partner. Sam, 32, and Zara, 28, abruptly canceled earlier this year.

However, Zara has quickly moved on and is now an item with former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. And Sam is readying himself for an awkward moment with the singer as the pair line up for this year’s Soccer Aid contest in Manchester.

Sam has now reportedly suggested that the preparation for the charity event in June will be an even more challenging situation despite having come close to each other on the pitch.

Sam was speaking to best pal Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast when his bleeped out actions got fans talking. The duo teased that Sam is set for an uncomfortable moment in the new future.

Pete told the audience, “I’m going to tell this story because I believe it’s appropriate.” What is it, Sam quickly responded, “Go on, what is it?”

Continue reading the article.

Pete continued, “Sam was informed that he needs to work on..” however, the recording’s recording was cut to remove the next sentence. Fans were left to wonder what Pete might have been discussing.

The duo was seen laughing while covering the faces, though. Sam sat red-faced while Pete was in tears as he discovered the hilariousness.

Fans were quick to speculate that what was said must have been about Louis and his relationship with Zara. One user wrote: “He has to interview Louis Tomlinson on This Morning.” They added a number of laughing face emojis.

Another question was asked, “Soccer Aid with Louis.” “,” according to one third person, while another said it must have been funny because they had never witnessed Pete act in that manner.

Sam broke his silence about his ex’s most recent romance last week. Sam explained to the Mirror how he had heard Louis was a “great bloke” as he began a 260-mile endurance challenge for Unicef.

He stated, “I’ve never met Louis, but when I see him, I’ll be like, mate, how amazing this is what we’re doing, and hopefully we can make as much money as possible.” And I assume the response will be exactly the same given that the person I hear is a really lovely bloke.

Sam, who split from Zara four months ago and is now dating Samie Elishi of Love Island fame, added of the Soccer Aid experience: “It’s a charity football game and everyone will have a smile on their face….everybody is doing it for a cause that is far beyond relationships and who’s hooking up with who and all that kind of stuff. Football brings everyone together.”

Sam’s charity endurance challenge will see him transport the Soccer Aid for UNICEF match ball from last year’s stadium – Stamford Bridge in London – 260 miles to the home of this year’s match at Old Trafford in Manchester.

‘Writing on the wall’ – what does future hold for Grealish?

Manchester City midfielder Jack Grealish may have to leave this summer with “the writing on the wall” for him, says their former goalkeeper Shay Given.

Grealish, 29, was a British record signing when he joined Pep Guardiola’s side from Aston Villa for £100m in 2021.

The England international has won three Premier League titles, the Champions League and FA Cup with City but has fallen down the pecking order this season.

Grealish has only started 16 times this season in all competitions, and has been on the pitch for 1, 520 minutes – fewer than half the amount he played in the 2022-23 season when City won the Champions League.

He was an unused substitute as Crystal Palace won the FA Cup final last weekend, while he also did not get on the pitch when City were beaten at Wembley by rivals Manchester United in 2024.

Grealish’s future at Etihad Stadium is unclear heading into the summer, with a growing sense that he would benefit from a move before next season.

There is likely to be interest from clubs across Europe in a player who may be attracted by the idea of a fresh start at a top club who could provide him with regular football.

It remains to be seen whether his reported £300, 000-per-week wages will prove prohibitive towards any potential move away.

“I have a soft spot for Jack Grealish and the way he is being treated is not on”, former City keeper Given, who played alongside Grealish at Villa, told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club.

“He’s not helped himself at times but he is a generational talent that you want to build your team around.

” That’s back-to-back FA Cup finals where you need a goal and you don’t use him. At the weekend City brought on Claudio Echeverri who made his debut instead.

“Jack is an international, a multiple winner, it was criminal he didn’t get on the pitch. The writing is on the wall. I don’t know why Pep even brought him to London. He may as well have stayed at home.

” When he plays, he’s a mannequin on the wing and just told to keep the shape. Kevin de Bruyne is leaving in the summer and Jack Grealish is the perfect replacement to play in the middle but after what has happened, he maybe won’t play for the club again.

“For his career, he has to see what is out there. With plenty of years to go, he has an amazing talent.

For the first time since Guardiola’s first season in charge in 2016-17, City will finish without a major trophy following a defeat in the FA Cup final.

Sixth place in the Premier League’s final two games, they could not win the Champions League the following year.

Guardiola says talks will be held between the player’s representatives, his successor Hugo Viana, and Txiki Begiristain, who will be retiring.

Guardiola said, “We didn’t talk; I didn’t talk to him.” “People don’t believe me, but these things belong to Txiki, the agents, and Hugo in this case.” Both parties will decide.

He must return to begin playing minutes once more, but what will happen will happen.

“It’s not just Jack,” he said. Not one locker room player is happy when they don’t play, and I don’t think there are any in all the locker rooms around the world.

The team must figure out how everything works when they are winning and winning, but they are unhappy.

El Salvador arrests prominent human rights lawyer who defends deportees

In El Salvador, a well-known human rights lawyer who fights to have immigrants deported as a result of President Donald Trump’s strict anti-immigration policies has been arrested.

Ruth Eleonora López, 47, a senior member of the human rights organization Cristosal and vocal critic of Trump’s ally Nayib Bukele, president, was taken into custody late on Sunday.

The attorney general of El Salvador confirmed the arrest after an online post in which it claimed López had allegedly lied about defrauding state funds while working for the country’s electoral court ten years ago.

According to a statement from Cristosal, neither her family nor her legal team have been able to discover where she is. The refusal to give her information or grant lawyers’ access is “a flagrant violation of due process.”

The group said her arrest “proves serious doubts about the growing dangers that human rights defenders in El Salvador face.”

López has openly criticised the government’s widespread detention of alleged gang members, many of whom have not been charged.

More than 250 Venezuelan immigrants who have been deported to El Salvador under Trump’s administration have been helped by Cristosal, one of the most prominent human rights organizations in Latin America.

Bukele, who has cultivated close ties with Trump and called himself “the world’s coolest dictator,” claimed El Salvador is ready to house US prisoners in a sprawling mega-prison that was inaugurated last year.

Trump allegedly had ties to the Tren de Aragua gang, which their families and attorneys contend he did in March by using hardly ever invoked wartime powers to send dozens of Venezuelans to El Salvador without trial.

Under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, the US Supreme Court on Friday forbade the Trump administration from resuming its immediate deportations of Venezuelans.

As part of what observers perceive as a wider campaign of harassment and intimidation against civil society organizations and independent media, police entered its offices during a press conference in April to film and photograph journalists and staff members.

For her dedication to the rule of law and the rule of law, López was named one of the top 100 women in the world by the BBC as one of the 100 most powerful and inspirational women.

She was required to be released right away in a joint statement signed by more than a dozen human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

The statement stated that “El Salvador’s state of exception has been used to silence critical voices as well as to address gang-related violence.”

Brooklyn Beckham ‘snubs David again as they’re just five minutes away from each other’

After their very public outcry, Brooklyn Beckham and David Beckham’s son were only five minutes away from him as he focused on work. He then moved to London for a six-figure deal.

David Beckham and Brooklyn reportedly were within five minutes of one another.

Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly returned to London and was just five minutes away from his famous father as he set his sights on a huge six-figure deal. The 26-year-old son of David and Victoria Beckham has hit the headlines for his very public family fallout.

By ignoring football legend David’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier this month, he shocked fans and his own family. Brooklyn and wife Nicola allegedly made a rift in the Beckham clan while the parties were taking place, and they even flew to London from their Los Angeles residence.

Nicola has found herself at the centre of the accusations, with some sources claiming she stirred up drama. However, the whole saga appeared to have been very painful for those involved as they try to carry out their jobs.

On Monday, David headed to the Chelsea Flower Show where he rubbed shoulders with King Charles and Queen Camilla. It came just days after reports Brooklyn and Nicola had met with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at an intimate dinner in California.

Brooklyn was reportedly in Brooklyn as David reportedly focused on his work with the royals. Brooklyn was reportedly located just five minutes away in a bizarre coincidence.

The aspiring chef has reportedly signed a mega new campaign with designer brand Moncler alongside Nicola. “Brooklyn and David couldn’t have been closer in distance yesterday, but their relationship is still strained,” a source told the Sun.

“Neither of them would have known how close they were,” they said. Given how close the pair once were, everything is very challenging.

Brooklyn is alleged to have flown into London to film it and signed a six-figure contract to work for the Italian company. Onlookers were surprised to see him back in the UK after being photographed in the street.

Brooklyn and their relationship is “huge deal,” but the father and son were “five minutes by car” away, which has hampered the success.

As the shoot got underway, Victoria shared a public message to Brooklyn. Taking to Instagram, the former Spice Girl posted a family photo that showed her four children alongside her parents Tony Adams and Jackie Adams.

In the photo, the couple were spotted posing beside their children, Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, as she captioned the post with her three sons.

In the caption, Victoria wrote, “We both love you all so much,” along with a heart emoji, in the middle of the chaos.

A source previously told the Mirror: “Brooklyn not turning up was a real blow to David. Brooklyn was close with his dad growing up, but he is married now. His wife Nicola is older and confident in her own right, and so there is distance between Brooklyn and his parents.”

Because of the family’s use of social media, the source continued, “It has become a problem and cannot be kept private.” There is a very obvious rift that David and Victoria would be happy to heal because things have gotten worse in recent months.

Brooklyn’s representatives have been contacted for comment by The Mirror.
