Before the singer ended up checking into the third-floor suite where he plunged to his death after bingeing on drink and drugs, it was revealed last night that Roger Nores’ close friend, Liam Payne, had a first-floor room in which he “liked a lot.”
The businessman was informed by hotel managers that they were “fully booked” but promised to do everything to help them find something for the artist. 24 hours later, Liam checked into room 310, which Roger had originally “great liking,” and which, according to a fascinating document now with the courts, was 110.
The former One Direction singer ended up in a room 45 feet above the restaurant terrace where he died on October 16, a location where serious injury or death from any fall would obviously have been much greater, if the availability had been the cause.
The hotel memo, which was first published by Argentinian media today, contained the room revelation. Despite the businessman insisting he never played such a role, the unnamed employee at CasaSur Palermo Hotel who wrote it referenced Mr. Nores, one of three men charged with manslaughter on December 27 over the death of Liam, as his manager.
The email memo, which was titled “Liam Payne – One Direction,” was sent on October 11 at 8 p.m. the day before the singer checked in. Esteban Grassi, the chief receptionist who is one of the two men facing manslaughter, and Gilda Martin, the head of security, called 911 moments before Liam passed away.

The email, written in Spanish and published by respected Argentinian news website Infobae, reads in English: “Good afternoon. One of Liam Payne’s former managers showed up today, asking for a suite from Monday October 14 through Friday October 18. The manager liked Room 110 greatly when we showed him. We informed him that we didn’t have any available time, but we also promised to make sure to get the desired availability.
He provided the following contact information for us so that we could notify him when we had availability and pricing. At the end of the email, the word “Manager” was used to refer to Roger Nores as a pop star and friend, and there were the words “assistant manager” and “manager” in the title of Lulu Miranda, who has previously been mentioned in rumors about the Liam Payne investigation as a friend and associate of Mr. Nores.
She is alleged to be an artist from Los Angeles who has lived in Buenos Aires since she was a teenager and was raised as an Argentine diplomat by a Brazilian mother. She is not one of the five people who Judge Laura Bruniard charged her late last month, and there is no indication at this point that she was acting in any formal or informal capacity as Liam’s assistant manager.
Before the singer was given the third floor suite (Bloomberg via Getty Images), Roger Nores, Liam Payne’s close friend, was shown a first-floor room he “liked a lot” (Bloomberg via Getty Images).
In her indictment ruling, Judge Bruniard accused Mr. Nores of “failing to take care of himself, assist and help” to the singer, knowing he couldn’t fend for himself, aware of his multiple additions to alcohol and cocaine, and fully aware of the state of intoxication vulnerably and defenceless he was in.
According to Mr. Nores, who was interviewed by a recent TMZ documentary about Liam Payne’s life and death, “the day he died” was “in good spirits and perfectly balanced,” which refuted claims that the singer was acting erratically and was drunk shortly before his fatal fall. The businessman had previously denied claims that he was Liam’s “de facto” manager, which is seen as a crucial component of the prosecution’s case. He had previously refuted those claims.
He claimed in a statement that he had been under an official investigation prior to being charged that he had never abandoned him and that he had only been staying at his hotel for 40 minutes. When I left, there were over 15 people chatting and laughing with him in the hotel lobby. Never could I have imagined this would occur. I testified to the prosecutor on October 17 as a witness, but I haven’t spoken to any police or prosecutor since. I wasn’t Liam’s manager. He was just my very dear friend. “

The majority of the shades of the Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer are available now.
The iconic Nars pot concealer promises high-performance correction with soft-focus blurring. With a coveted soft-focus matte finish that will last all day, the Soft Matte Complete Concealer instantly removes imperfections and smoothes uneven texture while hiding dark spots, undereye circles, redness, and breakouts.
This concealer isn’t just any old makeup; instead, it has advantages over time thanks to the protective properties of Vitamins A, C, and E, as well.
This always-sold-out must-have is back in stock in most shades at Nars ‘ own site, where you can grab your own for £27. You’ll need to get yours in a hurry because several shades are no longer available at the time of writing.

This cult classic has received a flood of 5-star reviews, with an impressive 4.6 rating from over 1000 reviewers on Nars ‘ website.
One recent devotee of this Nars wonder product beams: “Coverage like no other concealer, covers acne like I have never experienced, you’d genuinely not believe my skin before I applied this. How did I not know about this before, in my opinion?
More love comes from this die-hard fan, who writes: “I have tried so many concealers but this is the ultimate flawless coverage. A little definitely goes a long way, since I only used one whole pot for almost a year. I would score this 10/10 for coverage, not being cakey, easy application, longevity and just an absolute must to have in your makeup up bag”!
And a third raves: “LOVE! Have re ordered 3 times now. Best coverage concealer I’ve ever used and doesn’t feel heavy. unlike anything I’ve tried, it’s so trustworthy and covers ALL scars and spots. Does a little settle into fine lines if you have extremely dry skin, but I really like the product overall.
Another 5-star reviewer shares: “Love this concealer, I started using it around a year ago and haven’t looked back since! This and matte foundation are the ideal combination for me because my skin is oily and gives me a lovely clean, smooth, and matte appearance.
A fifth commenter gushes: “Best concealer I’ve used for spot concealing, perfect for everyday” no make up “make up looks. Because I enjoyed it so much, I gave it as a gift to my cousin.
This customer praises it even more, saying, “It is really good for full coverage. With this, I have no under eye contact. “!
As of writing 11, the infamous pot concealer has already left the virtual shelves, so hurry up and grab one before it’s gone. It comes in 30 inclusive shades.
Adele earned around £21, 500 a day last year to add to her growing £170m fortune.
The international renown is represented by a number of businesses that accept cash from music sales, publishing deals, and live shows. She has £13.5 million in cash deposits at Melted Stone Publishing Ltd., while A. Adkins Touring Ltd. has a paltry $42,000. Companies House accounts for 2023 revealed that Adele paid £1, 549, 958 in Corporation Tax across the three firms, pointing to earnings of £7.7m.
Adele, 36, is one of the world’s best-selling music artists, with sales of over 120m records worldwide. Despite her 30th album, which was released in 2022, her last income continues to come in from record sales and royalties. As well as the UK best-selling female artist of the 21st century, she was named best-selling artist of the 2010s worldwide.
Despite a tough fitness regime, health issues meant she had to postpone dates of her Las Vegas residency, ‘ Weekends with Adele’. That run of shows allowed her to rekindle her musical passion. Additionally, her bank balance improved significantly thanks to the residency.
Adele’s successful career included appearances at venues like Caesars Palace’s Colosseum last year (Getty Images for AD).
Each performance at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum attracted about $1.75 million in sales. The singer’s first appearance in Europe since 2106 was a run of gigs in Munich.
In the past, her UK tax bill has caused her some annoyance. When she first released her first album 19, she resisted paying the highest rate of tax. She said: “I’m mortified to have to pay 50 percent… I can’t use the public transport any more. Trains are always late, most state schools are s*** and I’ve gotta give you, like, four million quid – are you having a laugh”?
The Sunday Times Rich List calculated her wealth at £170m in May, 2024, up from £165m in 2023. Adele will release a concert film from her world-record-breaking stay in Munich as well as an accompanying documentary, according to a exclusive report from the Mirror last month. The latter describes the process of building the custom-built arena and hosting the shows.
According to insiders, it will be available on a streaming service. It made sense to release a concert film because the Munich concerts were so special, according to a source. Every magical moment was captured on camera every night in the location. Fans will be able to witness Adele perform at her best on stage while learning about the incredible engineering feat required to construct the special venue.
Nikki Glaser’s joke about Sean ‘ Diddy ‘ Combs at the 2025 Golden Globes has sparked backlash, including from lawyers representing alleged victims of Diddy.
Ariel Mitchell and Tyrone Blackburn, attorneys for the victims, have criticised the comedian’s attempt to make light of the situation. Mitchell expressed hope that Nikki herself has never been a victim of sexual assault or mockery.
She continued, “making light of this ugly situation is exactly why so many sexual assault victims never come forward and report their abuse,” adding that one would assume Nikki, a woman, would “know better.” Blackburn echoed these sentiments, stating to TMZ that he’d expect a comedian of Nikki’s success “to find humour that doesn’t make light of drugging and rape”.
The first time a woman has hosted the 82nd Annual Golden Globes solo on January 5 was when Nikki did it on Sunday, January 5. The 40-year-old made a controversial joke about the disgraced music mogul in her monologue about the tennis drama Challengers, which stars Zendaya, Mike Faist, and Josh O’Connor.
“That movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card”, she quipped. “I mean, seriously, I’m upset too. Although this year’s after party won’t be as good, we must move on. A Stanley Tucci freak-off doesn’t have the same ring to it. This year, there was only a lot of olive oil.
Nikki’s jokes, which made reference to Diddy (Penske Media via Getty Images), received criticism.
Glaser was referencing the seizure of 1, 000 bottles of lube and baby oil from Diddy’s home in September last year, claimed by authorities to be supplies for the rapper’s alleged “freak off” parties. His parties allegedly engaged in extended sex acts by using force, threats of force, and coercion.
Diddy is currently behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, facing serious charges including sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. According to the Mirror US, the 55-year-old rapper was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in New York City and later charged with indictment.
According to the indictment, Diddy allegedly led a “criminal enterprise” where he “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct”. Diddy could spend the rest of his life in prison if found guilty of the charges. Despite the grave accusations, Diddy has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty and refuting the escalating claims.
He will remain in custody until his trial in May 2025 because his requests for release have been repeatedly denied.
The Mirror have reached out to Nikki’s reps for comment.
