Newly single Dakota Johnson has revealed her ex Chris Martin’s brilliant reaction to her wacky dream about singer Matty Healy. The Fifty Shades of Grey actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, recently ended their romantic relationship after eight years together.

Chatting with comedian Amy Poehler, Dakota recalled having a bizarre dream about The 1975 hitmaker. “I actually had a dream the other night,” Dakota told host Amy during the latest episode of the Good Hang podcast. “Matty Healy from The 1975 was in my dream and he was murdering people, and he was Matty Healy as himself.”

Dakota, who recently enjoyed a dinner date with Matty’s ex Taylor Swift, then went on to note how the dream got even stranger, with her dream version of Matty morphing into a vegetable to dodge the police. “When the people were looking for him—they were cops maybe,” Dakota continued, “he would turn into a piece of asparagus.”

If that wasn’t weird enough, an Oscar-winning actress then entered the dream. “I saw these two poles and a bed and I was like, ‘Matty?'” Dakota said. “The sheets came down and it was him as an asparagus and Angelina Jolie as an asparagus. They were getting married, and they left in a helicopter together as asparagus.”

The next morning, Dakota shared her wild dream with her then-boyfriend Chris. The Fix You songwriter was fascinated by Dakota’s subconscious, telling her: “That’s a really good pitch for a movie.”

Dakota and Chris reportedly split over his reluctance to set a wedding date. . Insiders allege that the frustration stemming from this hesitancy contributed to the end of their eight-year relationship, with 35 year old Dakota particularly “sick” that no date had been decided.

The two became engaged years after their on-off romance took off in 2017, following the dad-of-two’s split from his ex-wife, Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. A source told Page Six: “She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding.”

Others in Dakota and Chris’ inner circle reckon disagreements on starting a family played a role too. Another insider claimed: “They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids.”

While Dakota, unlike her former beau, has never tied the knot or had children, she has hinted at her desire for both. A confidant shared with The Sun, “They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She’d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.”

Following the news of the couple’s split, an insider disclosed: “They just haven’t been able to figure out to make it official. Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.

“Breakups aren’t instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they’d get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren’t right for each other anymore…

“Dakota is devastated that she isn’t going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.”

Kate Garraway has revealed the heartbreaking moment she felt it was unsafe for her and her family as they cared for Derek Draper following his health complications after contracting Covid

Kate Garraway has candidly opened up on the struggles she faced while caring for late husband Derek Draper, saying it got to the point she no longer felt safe. Derek, a political lobbyist, died aged 56 in 2022 following a cardiac arrest after years of health implications from long Covid.

Derek’s health rapidly deteriorated after he contracted coronavirus in March 2020. He died four years later in January 2024.

Throughout his struggles, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate was by his side and was his primary carer. However, she has revealed how she got so tired at one stage that she felt the situation was no longer safe for her or her kids.

Speaking to the Sun, Kate described a three-week gap in care for her husband while the system tried to work out which agency would be best suited to helping the family with the care he needed. She said during that time she “had no choice but to try to get through looking after Derek 24/7 completely alone”.

Kate confessed: “By the end I was so sleep-deprived I was scared it was no longer safe — for me, for the children, let alone for Derek. In desperation I called health services again and this time refused to get off the phone until some answer was given.

“In the end, the person on the other end of the phone, who was also clearly exhausted, told me, “There is nothing I can do but — and this isn’t official — you are not alone and what I always say to people is take him to A&E and leave him there, then they legally have to do something.”

Kate was stunned that this was what the stage it had gotten to, questioning how the best solution appeared to be to “abandon” someone who wasn’t safe to be left alone. She praised family members who helped with the awful situation, but realises others may not be so lucky.

Kate also she admitted she still has a “tsunami of sadness” as she regularly wakes in the middle of night panicking she hasn’t given her husband his medicine. She previously revealed the touching last moments she and her two kids shared with Derek.

According to Kate in a discussion last year, proud dad Derek told his children, Darcey and Billy: “You’re the best children anyone could ask for. Look after mum, be good for her.” This was sadly last time Derek saw his two children before going into a coma.

Kate openly praised her kids for how they handled their dad’s condition and passing. Speaking on Good Morning Britain in February 2024, Kate said: “It was one of those stop-the-clock moments, where you want the world to stop.

“It swamps you. We now have 24 hours, [which] turned out to be more of a month, of fighting on and fighting on, following the prognosis that he won’t make it through. For the children when they heard he won’t make it through, they’ve heard it so many times.

“They were so beautiful, the children, about that. They individually had time with him on his own and Darcey said, ‘If, dad, you can’t do this, it’s okay. Don’t worry about us’. And I had similar conversations, a chance to hold his hand and smell his skin and hold him all the way through, and some people don’t get that.

Kylie Jenner’s £4.40 brow gel is worth the hype but beware of one thing

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article35361792.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/2_Kylie-Jenners-%C2%A3550-brow-gel-is-worth-the-hype-but-beware-of-one-thing.jpg

Kylie Jenner’s go-to brow gel costs less than a fiver and has been a staple in my makeup routine for a while now – but there’s one slight downside to the product

Kylie’s brow product costs less than a fiver

Kylie Jenner’s TikTok account has become a treasure trove for beauty-obsessed fans looking to upgrade their makeup and skincare routines with the latest celebrity-favourite products.

From promoting the latest from her own beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics, to sharing exactly how she gets her wavy hairstyle, with the help of her hairstylist, Kylie is sharing all of her beauty tips and tricks on the social media app.

But I found that her latest recommendation, the got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel, is a product that’s long been a part of my makeup routine – and for good reason too.

Kylie showed off her most recent makeup routine in a ‘get ready with me’ upload, and prepped her brows with the gel, which you can get your hands on for just over a fiver in your local supermarket and your closest Boots or Superdrug store.

The gel is practically invisible, vegan friendly, free of silicones and alcohol and is dermatologically tested, so you can trust that your skin won’t react badly, despite this product offering a super strong hold for your brows and edges for up to 72 hours.

It’s made of the same ‘Glued’ formula that you’ll find in got2Be’s iconic hairspray, which is often used to keep slick back buns frizz free and even hold wigs in place all day long.

My review of got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel

I’ve been using the got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel for a long while now and I’m currently on my second purchase as it quickly became a staple in my everyday makeup routine. I usually apply the gel before my foundation and allow it to fully dry for brows that won’t budge all day long.

Not only does the gel last all day, but a little goes a long way, so you can be sure to have this as part of your beauty bag for a long while before you run out and have to repurchase.

I haven’t used the gel on my edges so I can’t speak for their hold there, but for my brows, which can be quite unruly at times, this is the best product to tame and keep them neat.

Pros and cons of got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel

Pros

  • Super strong hold
  • Quick-drying
  • Hold lasts well over 24hrs

Cons

  • Slight flaking if there’s excess product left on the skin
  • I’ve found that a white residue appears if mixed with foundation or SPF

Curfew in LA as protests against Trump’s immigration crackdown continue

A nighttime curfew was in force in Los Angeles as local officials sought to get a handle on protests that United States President Donald Trump claimed were an invasion by a “foreign enemy”.

“I have declared a local emergency and issued a curfew for central Los Angeles to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting,” Mayor Karen Bass told reporters on Tuesday.

One square mile (2.5 square kilometres) of the city’s more than 500-square-mile area will be out of bounds until 6am (13:00 GMT) for everyone apart from residents, journalists and emergency services, she added.

Small-scale and largely peaceful protests began on Friday in Los Angeles as anger swelled over intensified arrests by immigration authorities.

At their largest, a few thousand people have taken to the streets, but smaller groups have used the cover of darkness to set fires, daub graffiti and smash windows.

Overnight on Monday, 23 businesses were looted, police said, adding that more than 500 people had been arrested in recent days.

Protests have also sprung up in other cities around the United States, including New York, Atlanta, Chicago and San Francisco.

Trump has ordered 4,000 National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles, along with 700 active-duty Marines, in what he has claimed is a necessary escalation to take back control, despite the insistence of local law enforcement that they could handle matters.

The Pentagon said the deployment would cost US taxpayers $134m.

“What you are witnessing in California is a full-blown assault on peace, on public order, and national sovereignty,” Trump told troops at Fort Bragg, a military base in North Carolina.

“This anarchy will not stand. We will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom said Trump’s shock militarisation of the city was the behaviour of “a tyrant, not a president”.

In a livestreamed address, Newsom called Trump a “president who wants to be bound by no law or constitution, perpetuating a unified assault on American tradition”.

“California may be first, but it clearly will not end here.”

In a filing to the US District Court in Northern California, Newsom asked for an injunction preventing the use of troops for policing.

Trump’s use of the military is an “incredibly rare” move for a US president, said Rachel VanLandingham, a professor at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles and a former US Air Force lieutenant colonel.

US law largely prevents the use of the military as a policing force – absent the declaration of an insurrection, which Trump again mused about on Tuesday.

Ancelotti earns first win as Brazil book World Cup spot

Brazil qualified for the 2026 World Cup with a 1-0 win against Paraguay in South American qualifying to give Carlo Ancelotti his first win as manager.

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr scored from close range in the second half, finishing after fine work from Manchester United-bound playmaker Matheus Cunha.

The victory, Ancelotti’s first after a 0-0 draw against Ecuador on his debut last week, means Brazil have now qualified for every edition of the World Cup.

“We needed to win and qualify for the World Cup,” said Vinicius Jr.

“Now the coach will have more time to work. Of course today wasn’t one of our best performances, but the important thing is always to win.

“Now it’s time to celebrate qualifying.”

Elsewhere, World Cup holders Argentina played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Colombia in Buenos Aires.

Liverpool winger Luis Diaz opened the scoring with a fine individual goal, dancing through three defenders before finishing past Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

Argentina were reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes remaining when Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez for a high-boot challenge on Colombia’s Kevin Castano.

But Lionel Messi’s side found an equaliser nine minutes from the end through Lyon’s Thiago Almada, leaving Colombia four points clear of seventh-placed Venezuela.

‘Euro 2016 similarities but youthful NI forging own path’

Press Eye
  • 3 Comments

“I think back of when we were successful in 2016 and we were really, really hard to beat.

“We knew what we were good at and I see similarities in this team. There are a lot more legs and more youthfulness now, but there’s a similarity in being really hard to beat.”

As a former Northern Ireland Euro 2016 favourite and Premier League player with Leeds United, Stuart Dallas knows what it takes to be successful.

Now retired, he’s watching Michael O’Neill’s “new era” Northern Ireland gear up for World Cup qualifying, and he likes what he is seeing.

After a 2-1 defeat in Copenhagen to Denmark, O’Neill’s young side had to dig deep to beat Iceland at Windsor Park.

After Isaac Price’s latest moment of brilliance lit up a drab first-half, the game turned when Brodie Spencer was sent off in the 57th minute and Iceland piled on the pressure.

It was a new challenge for his young team and, as Dallas adds, “they had to show a different side to them”.

It was a test they passed with flying colours.

“This team have a strong character and desire when things are going against them to stay in the game,” said O’Neill.

The fact this Northern Ireland squad are young is not a new realisation, but it was highlighted by the fact the average of the 10 players on the pitch heading into injury time was just 22.

Teenage goalkeeper Pierce Charles put in his strongest performance in a Northern Ireland shirt to date, and he pulled off a big save in the dying embers while Ruairi McConville, 20, hooked the ball off the line and reacted quickly to hack any further danger away.

Needing to see out the game, O’Neill turned to Terry Devlin and Brad Lyons, who had a combined total of six caps.

They helped the cause, and the team got over the line.

In fact, it was only the third time Northern Ireland had ever won a match having a player sent off – and the first since the famous win over Spain in the 1982 World Cup.

“Nights like this help us develop as a team,” O’Neill added on dealing with adversity.

“When we look back at the two games we will find a lot of positives, but we are always looking at it to get better.

‘Progress will continue beyond World Cup campaign’

After defeats in Sweden and Denmark, the win over Iceland was a timely boost with World Cup qualifying looming in September.

Northern Ireland start their bid in Luxembourg and Germany, and also face Slovakia in their bid to make a first finals in 40 years.

However, no matter what happens in the remainder of 2025, O’Neill knows it won’t define the team and the growth will continue.

“The reality is I know the team will continue to progress beyond the World Cup campaign,” he added.

“It’s just natural. The more they play international football the better they will get at it.

“That’s what they need, they need more exposure and more minutes under their belts. Will the World Cup campaign come too soon for this group?

“I don’t know, the proof will be in the games but we approach it in a good place and we’re optimistic.

Tuesday’s performance will only enhance that belief.

While O’Neill says he does not like to compare teams, he acknowledges the resilience shown at Windsor Park is a useful, and somewhat familiar trait from his Euro 2016 side all those years ago.

However, those players were hardened internationals at a different point in their careers, and O’Neill wants his young players to forge their own path and their own story.

“I think the result shows that [resilience]. I don’t compare the teams, I never do. This is a totally different group of boys at a totally different part of their careers.

“They did show a lot of resilience, but the important thing is not to saddle them with that.
