Jennifer Aniston, a friend of Jennifer Aniston, has explained why she continues to avoid attending the Met Gala while the biggest names in showbiz attend the famous event in New York.

Jennifer Aniston has admitted it is her choice to skip the Met Gala after years of receiving invites. The Friends icon, 56, is a noticeable absentee every May when the biggest stars in showbiz take to the fashion event of the year.

Jennifer can’t ever see herself getting involved in something because the biggest names in the industry accept the brief and showcase their distinctive fashion combinations. Rachel Green, who played Rachel Green on the popular sitcom, admitted that the idea of dancing to the fancy bash “overwhelms” her.

She admitted that putting on a couture-style outfit and facing the famed staircase wasn’t something she would enjoy. She responded, “Yes, I have been invited,” but I won’t go.

She continued, “It’s the getting ready, the putting on the dress,” in a statement from Glamour Magazine. I’m a girl who likes to wear jeans, flip-flops, and tank tops.

I enjoy dressing up, but for me, it’s a mental game of “let’s get dressed up, put on a fancy dress, makeup, get your hair all ‘purdy’, and go sit in a big room with your peers.” Everyone is there to celebrate and have some fun, but I get anxious.

She also shared her thoughts on the harsh scrutiny that some stars receive from their fans. Some people find it to be like a sport where they “build you up” and “love” to “do it” later, she said.

What justifies doing it, exactly? Who is aware? But I’ll do my best to tune it out because it’s not good for you.

Despite Jennifer’s self-imposed ban, the yearly event continues to be the biggest date in the fashion diary. The 2025 edition saw Anna Wintour announce the theme ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’, and the accompanying dress code is ‘Tailored for You’.

The event was co-chaired by honorary chair LeBron James, actor Colman Domingo, rapper A $AP Rocky, musician-turned-fashion-mogul Pharrell Williams, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour this year.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York hosts its annual haute couture fundraising festival on the first Monday of May each year as Christmas presents for fashion enthusiasts. Guests’ attempts to adhere to the theme (or fail miserably) are subject to scrutiny from sartorial critics around the world, with men frequently criticized for doing so online.

Diana Ross shut down the red carpet at this year’s event as she stunned in a sweeping white gown that featured an 18-foot train embroidered with the names of her children and grandchildren. It marked the first time in 22 years that she had attended the ceremony.

Diana, her son Evan Ross, and Nigerian designer Ugo Mozie worked closely together to create the stunning evening design. According to legend, they came together to highlight a hand-crafted design that honored her family legacy.

Kevin Costner, an actor from Yellowstone, is reportedly seeing a new woman after going through a difficult divorce with Christine Beumgarter last year.

Kevin Costner, 70, has found love again with a stunning sporty woman, 24 years younger than him. The Yellowstone actor believes the beauty is “just his type” following his divorce last year.

He finalised the divorce from wife Christine Baumgarter, 51, in February 2024 following a bitter legal battle. They married back in 2004 and welcomed three children together.

However, Christine filed for divorce in 2023 citing irreconcilable differences. Now, Kevin is reportedly loved up with Kelly Noonan Gores, 46. She has a keen interest in watersports, having taken up paddle boarding, surfing and wakeboarding. The 5ft7in blonde bombshell regularly shares snaps in bikinis as she soaps up Lake Michigan and Malibu.

Kelly frequently exercises at sea or in lakes, and she once said, “Water is my medicine.” She is said to have sparked romance rumors with Kevin last week and has two young children of her own.

They both headed to the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Snowmass Village near Aspen. “Kevin is dating and happy again after a very dark time in his life,” a source told the Daily Mail.

He has seen Kelly, he claims. In Aspen in late July, they were together. Because he doesn’t want this to go off the rails, he has made an effort to keep it very hush hush.

They added: “She is exactly his type and they have a lot in common: the outdoors, sports — she likes to surf — long walks with dogs.” Kelly has also gone through the pains of divorce as she was previously married to billionaire Alec Gores, 72, from 2016 to 2024.

On her January podcast, Heal With Kelly, she openly discussed the breakup. It pained me,” she said. Both of us wanted this, and she said it was heartbreaking, even though I had the conversation in the beginning.

Kelly continued, “This is not for lack of love,” and added that it was her “hardest year.” I have a lot of respect for this man and he is deeply, deeply, and incredibly loved.

I’m so appreciative of everything I’ve learned, everything he’s taught me, and everything we’ve accomplished together. He was undoubtedly my best friend.

Kevin expressed his desire to meet someone new after his own divorce. Love helps and doesn’t hinder it for someone who wants to be loved and feels like they are at their very best, he told Fox News.

According to multiple sources speaking to Us Weekly, Kevin and Kelly are “hanging out casually and were connected by friends.” They say the relationship is “not serious yet,” and that Kevin and Kelly have recently “spent time” together in Colorado.

They both have mutual friend groups and frequent Aspen frequently. According to one source, they have been interacting casually and getting to know one another.

Kevin agreed to share joint custody of his children with ex Christine following their divorce, and he was ordered to pay over $63,000 a month in child support. Christine is now engaged to their former neighbor, Josh Connor.

Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham, the stars of Ted Lasso, were spotted filming in Richmond this week for the fourth season of the Apple TV+ series.

Ted Lasso icons Jason Sudeikis and Hannah Waddingham were spotted back in Richmond as they filmed the new series of the iconic Apple TV+ programme. The scenes in England comes several weeks after the cast and crew kicked off filming for the fan-favourite series in the USA.

Brendan Hunt and Brett Goldstein were seen spotting Jason, who plays loveable Ted, and Hannah, who plays Rebecca Welton, in Scott’s, a hotspot in south-west London. In the restaurant where she was filming, Hannah looked sensational in a form-fitting blue dress.

She had a massive dry robe hidden between her robes in online photos. While Jason, a co-star, was filming in Kingston while sporting the legendary Ted Lasso moustache.

Ted will lead a second division women’s team in the fourth season of the series, which will debut in the summer of next year. Faye Marsay from Adolescence and Tanya Reynolds from Sex Education make up the new cast. The series also includes Aisling Sharkey, Grant Feely, Rex Hayes, Jude Mack, and Abbie Hern.

The last series aired in 2023, but rumours of the streaming success returning for series four hit the headlines last year – with Deadline reporting that Warner Bros Television had picked up options on cast members Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, and Jeremy Swift.

The series didn’t pick up Phil Dunster, who plays Jamie Tartt, according to the publication.

Meanwhile, Keeley Hazell recently claimed she almost starred as Keeley Jones before the role went to Juno Temple. In her new memoir, Everyone’s Seen My Tits: Stories and Reflections From an Unlikely Feminist, she discussed meeting up with Jason to “discuss the part he had written for me”.

He informed me of the TV show. A football match took place in England. She wrote, “It would shoot in London.” Ted, an upbeat and optimistic American football coach who had come to coach a British football (soccer) team, was the person who would take the lead, as J has already discovered, a completely different sport.

More details about the role of Keeley were reportedly provided to her by Jason. She continued, “The idea of me serving as the lead in a TV show was enough to make me wet my pants in excitement, even though the show hadn’t been picked up at this point, meaning, it was just a script waiting to be sold.”

I took an audition. I once more auditioned. J said I was at the top of the list, but casting requested a different scene. J and I read together in the third and final round.

The former model claimed that Jason had allegedly punched Keeley feelig in the chest in a text message that she was receiving “a further part” of the show.

She accepted that her acting was “just awful” even though she played the part of Bex in the show. I sabotaged myself on-screen by disengaged, “she said, rather than using this as an opportunity to show how good I was.”

In less than a few days, Maureen Lipman will propose to her fiance last year. Last September, the 79-year-old Coronation Street actress asked her business consultant boyfriend, also 79, to marry her.

Her close friend and Gogglebox co-star Gyles Brandreth has revealed that her wedding is scheduled for this weekend a year later. “I’m going to Dame Maureen Lipman’s wedding on Sunday.” He revealed that “she is getting married.”

She is getting married early! Actually, it’s the afternoon, in my opinion. I’ll be there, too. It’s fantastic, isn’t it? He remarked on his Rosebud podcast that “to marry in your 80th year is fantastic.”

The Evelyn Plummer actress revealed her unconventional proposal last year when she publicly disclosed her engagement. She stated in the Spectator’s article, “My partner and I decided later that night that we would get married, with a combined age of 156.

Although I had been a little against the “M,” he mentioned on a train ride back from Edinburgh that Tu B’Av, a Jewish woman’s day of marriage, was celebrated.

I kneeld under the table that separated us and asked him for his hand because I couldn’t stop the gag. He gave it, to my surprise and my initial shock.

Prior to his passing in 2004, Maureen was married to TV scribe Jack Rosenthal, who he had worked with for 30 years. They welcomed son Adam and daughter Amy, both 50, at the time.

Her future husband, David, also has three children from a previous union. The actress revealed that their children had accepted the surprise news.

All responses were warm and individual, she said at the time. One child claimed that he needed some “time” to process it. As one man slid his old dining table into a new dining table, breaking the news to another, creating a Jack Rosenthal play with, I believe, a happy ending, we changed the scene.

In 2023, Maureen first revealed her romantic relationship with David when she announced she would be hosting a “gentleman friend” at the National Television Awards that year.

She stated to the Sunday Express, “I’m going with my gentleman friend David.” At the age of 77, Maureen has gushed about finding love once more.

The TV host said, “It’s a gift for everyone involved.” He has been very kind, and it is a gift. We will see how it goes because I’ve met some nice men in my life and some really interesting men.

When Maureen and David confirmed their relationship status at the 2023 Oldie of the Year Awards, they stepped out together. She proclaimed, “That’s my significant other.”

Before he passed away in 2021, the actress had a 13-year relationship with Italian businessman Guido Castro. She regrettably observed that “He got Covid” because it didn’t Covid kill him but rather it weakened him severely.

We are unsure of his origin, when he received the vaccine, or whether he had it. Guido responded, “It’s time to leave.” You must let go, he says. And I believe that he once again followed my advice.

Due to this unusual hobby, which may soon appear in the hit TV show, the Bake Off contestant has over 400k TikTok followers.

The Great British Bake Off returns to screens tonight, with a new batch of 12 contestants all ready to be introduced in the first episode. While this will be the first step into the spotlight for most of the bakers, one is already famous thanks to his peculiar hobby.

Iain Ross, 29, a Belfast baker, only started baking in his early 20s, but has already amassed over 400k TikTok followers. Iain uses edible foot coloring to paint musicians’ faces and album covers onto his baked goods in his videos, which have received millions of likes.

Taylor Swift, Queen, Oasis and more have all been painted on to a variety of baked goods, but most commonly bread. “It’s a really fun hobby to have a clash of worlds,” Iain told BBC Radio Ulster. “I have my baking and my love of music so I try to marry the two together the best I can.”

After he posted the news that he was joining the next series of Bake Off to his Instagram and TikTok, Iain’s fans flocked to the comments to share their excitement. One wrote: “This is so epic, I’ve been following you for so long, congrats!”

Another person praised Bake Off’s “best music taste ever, and you’re amazing at baking.” Iain was also requested to provide his distinctive artistic decoration for the performance.

Iain will probably make it to Bread Week, but the teaser for the first episode reveals a struggle for the Irish baker. Iain is attempting to repair his tent’s broken cake in the “first look.”

He is reportedly heard saying, “Oh God! ! ! ” while eating his chocolate cake. Oh no ! It has simply disintegrated. In an effort to put the cake back together, he is shown how to scrape bits from the tray.

The presenter made fun of the footage when it first appeared on Lorraine Kelly’s talk show and that it hasn’t been a good year for the baker.

Iain himself has described his time on the show as “chaotic”, telling the BBC that he thinks it will make good TV.

He said, “The word that comes to mind is chaotic.” “I have a lot of plates spinning at a lot of times, and I think it’ll make for good viewing, but I’m not very good with multiple plates spinning,” he said.

Iain and his fans may have had a hard time figuring out how to do it in tonight’s episode. Paul Hollywood quotes cake that “looks like it fell out of a tree,” and wonky cakes, over-baking, and other things in the Cake Week teaser.

Before the show began, Bake Off host Alison Hammond asked viewers to be supportive of the bakers, as it can be difficult when bakes go wrong. In a video message, she told fans: “It’s a magical experience they’ll never forget. What you don’t see at home are all the hours of hard work they put in behind-the-scenes.”

“So, it can really hit hard when something goes wrong in the tent.” They are all genuine people who love baking and make an effort to please everyone. So, please keep in mind that while sleeping on a couch at home, it may seem simple.

Tonight at 8 p.m. on Channel 4 will be The Great British Bake Off.

The eldest of Noel’s three children, Anaisa, described how she tried TV presenting and secured a role on a CBBC show before having her first encounter with “nepo-baby-ism.”

Noel Gallagher’s daughter has disclosed the “harsh” comments she received from a BBC producer after securing a television role. In a recent chat, photographer and model Anaïs Gallagher, the oldest of Noel’s three offspring (along with Sonny and Donovan Gallagher), revealed how being the daughter of a music icon has affected her career.

When she began working, Anaïs revealed that she tried her hand at TV presenting and even secured a spot on a CBBC programme. However, she would quickly face her initial encounter with what was described as “nepo-baby-ism”.

The term ‘nepo baby’ (short for ‘nepotism baby’) refers to a person who has personally benefited from the success and station of their parents, whether they are powerful or famous.

“I was 12 or 13,” Anas told Grazia magazine. The show’s producer said, “You have to be really good, you can’t mess up,” before I went on. People will say that you were only on the show because of your father, “”

Anas’ apparent innocence as Noel’s daughter suggests otherwise. She continued, “I believe it was fair. It was harsh but entirely accurate. She continued to say that she was “massively in denial” and “pushed against it” at first when she touched on the subject.

Nevertheless, after attending Camberwell College of Arts to pursue art photography, Anaïs went on to confess that she became “really embarrassed” about her “privilege” and chose not to reveal her father’s identity.

Yet, her stance on the matter has mellowed now. Indeed, Anaïs admitted that she’s “not delusional” and is aware that Noel has aided her “immensely”, divulging that she never had to get a part-time job in her younger years.

She continued to say that her father would buy her a new camera if she ever needed one. She also expressed her gratitude.

She even went so far as to describe him as a “cool dad” before making up her views on him with some of the people’s parents, who she might consider to be “a horrible Tory politician or something.”

Noel and Meg Mathews, the couple’s biological child, and Anas was born in 2000. They split up in 2001.

As part of her modelling career, she has worked with Reebok, H&M, Dolce & Gabbana and Accessorize.

Meanwhile, her formal education in photography has been put to good use, as she’s spent time documenting her dad’s tour with his side-project band, the High Flying Birds, and has reportedly shot behind-the-scenes on film sets.
