Billy Rae Cyrus and Liz Hurley initially sparked a stir when they went public, but a source claims that the model is assisting her country singer boyfriend in his recovery.

Elizabeth Hurley and her country legend beau Billy Ray Cyrus have been cosying up at glamorous events since going public in April – but their romance runs far deeper than red carpet appearances together, a source close to Liz has claimed to OK!.

They told OK! that Liz, 60, is also helping mend the 63-year-old singer’s heartache, by gently encouraging him to fix his fractured relationships with his children, including singers Miley and Noah, after he “pushed them all away”.

According to the source, “Liz is the love of Billy Ray’s life – that’s what he calls her.” “Her friends claim that she has never been happier and that she believes she can completely transform his life.” He has seen how close she is to Damian, his son, and how she is supporting him in those sometimes difficult relationships with his daughter and the rest of the family.

She’s helping him reconnect with his family and mend those relationships. She knows how important it is, as she’s very close with Damian and she wants the same for Billy Ray. They’re stronger than ever – he’s fallen for her in every possible way. She’s hoping she will be the guiding light and bring out the best in him.”

Billy Ray, the drummer for the Achy Breaky Hearts, praised Liz as “a great person” and said she had helped him find joy. The couple has attended a number of well-known events, including the Orizzonti/Rosso exhibition in Rome and various fundraising galas in London.

They sent shockwaves through the showbiz world when they went public in April, following one of the most difficult chapters in Billy Ray’s life.

The American singer had been dealing with the aftermath of his split from his second wife, Tish, who he had been married to for 30 years in 2022. He married his third wife Firerose in 2023 and divorced her in 2024 after that.

There were rumours of tension, following his split from Tish, among his six children – Miley, Noah and Braison (who he had with Tish), Brandi and Trace (who he adopted during his marriage to their mother, Tish) and Christopher (who he had with former girlfriend Kristin Luckey).

Trace, 36, posted an open letter to his dad on Instagram in January to say the family were “genuinely worried” about him. He wrote, “Since my earliest memories, all I can remember is being obsessed with you and thinking you were the coolest person ever. I wanted to be just like you. The day you adopted me was the happiest day of my life.

Unfortunately, I hardly recognize the man I so desperately desired to be. Everyone but you seems to have seen how you have been defeated by this world. I apologize for posting this, but I really couldn’t care less. You’ve pushed all of us away, despite the fact that we have been deeply concerned about you for years.

While Miley didn’t respond to her brother’s statement, there were rumours she had fallen out with her dad too. However, since Billy Ray started dating Liz, the family appear to be coming back together. The pair headed out to support Miley at the premiere of her new film Something Beautiful in London last month.

Our source claimed that Billy Ray had been on the wrong path and had previously struggled with hitting the bottle. Liz strives to help him in every way possible, from his family to his health, by being very fit, super into what she eats, and super into what she eats.

Billy Ray and Liz’s friendship began when they filmed the 2022 festive flick Christmas In Paradise together. Billy Ray previously revealed that Liz had contacted him while he was experiencing difficulties in his personal life, which became the trigger for their romance.

Billy Ray, who appeared on The Ty Bentli Show on Apple Music Country, recalled, “I was like, 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 point.

Billy Ray claimed that Liz’s message read, “Hey, it seems like life might be a little tough, and I just wanted to let you know that I’m in your corner – you’ve got a friend in your corner.”

Billy explained that he had lost Liz’s phone number and was confused by who was responsible for the message. “So I texted you, “Who is this?” And it’s similar to Elizabeth Hurley. Among all the people who contacted me in that second, perhaps this friend who made me laugh, came closest.

Charli XCX will take to Glastonbury’s Other Stage at 10:30pm tonight – so what does her famous stage name actually mean? Here’s some fun pop trivia for you to dive into

Glastonbury fans are so excited to watch Charli XCX’s set this evening (Saturday, June 28). While some will be doing so in Worthy Farm, others will be tuning into the set on TV. That’s because the BBC has decided to show the pop icon instead of Neil Young.

The 32-year-old, from Cambridge, soared to new heights in the music industry last year with the release of her album ‘Brat’, which topped charts in the UK, Ireland, and Australia, and made an impressive debut at number three on the Billboard 200. She is known for hits like 360, 365, Speed Drive, Apple, Official, and not forgetting her earlier bangers Boom Clap, Boys, and Vroom Vroom.

Charli will be taking to the Other Stage between 10:30pm and 11:45pm. Her performance will follow the Deftones and falls just before the midnight curfew. We can’t wait for Charli’s set tonight, so we’ve been brushing up on our trivia in the meantime.

One thing many don’t know about the songstress, who was born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, is how she got her stage name. So here’s everything you need to know.

Curious minds took to Reddit to discuss, with one user straightforwardly posing the question: “What does XCX mean in her name?” Speculations flew in with one person suggesting: “Charli 10 100 10.” Another added a humorous take: “xylophone, chimichanga, xylophone.” Someone else thought it represented “I thought it was excess.”

Delving deeper into the significance of her moniker, another fan theorised: “I was thinking about the change from Charli XCX to Charli xcx and I have the theory that Charli is going to market herself next as just ‘Charli’ like other popstars are doing right now (like Jenny, Lisa, Chloe, etc). Changing the XCX to lowercase serves as a transition since we start seeing more the Charli than the xcx. thoughts? Honestly, I would find it sad to let go of the xcx, specially since I already miss hearing X X X c X on her songs.”

Charli XCX revealed the quirky origin of her stage name during a red carpet interview at the 57th GRAMMY Awards back in February 2015. On the Grammy’s website, there’s a clip where she’s asked if it’s true that her stage name was her old MSN messenger handle – a chat service that was all the rage from 1999 to 2013.

She confirmed: “I didn’t have a manager when I decided on the name. I couldn’t think of anything so I just used that. It’s my MSN screen name. I’m not going to change it.”

Two months after becoming famous with her new girlfriend Andrea Dalton, Tammy Slaton has revealed her engagement to the public.

The 1000-lb Sisters star, 38, made the announcement during a very casual interview with Creative Chaos. Tammy made it known that she and Andrea Dalton are engaged to be married. The host was enraged that Tammy had mentioned Andrea as her fiancée during the conversation, which prompted her to inquire about Tammy’s latest news.

Host Hunter Ezell posed the question, “Hold on, you said fiancée,” after mentioning the word “fiancée.” Tammy said, “We kind of just chill out at home, and me and my fiance.” She continued, “We go to Walmart and just walk around or Roses, or something like that, just to walk around, get some exercise, or do something.”

The host then continued to press her about her relationship status, claiming that Tammy was “lighting up” when Andrea was mentioned. Then, mockingly, Tammy showed off her wedding ring. She also wore the name Adrea emblazoned on a necklace.

The host of the podcast yelled, “Have mercy, that is so cute!”

Two years after her husband, Caleb Willingham, passed away, it was revealed that Tammy had found love with Andrea. In the seventh season of the show, Tammy, who has lost a whopping 500 pounds as a result of her weight loss journey, stars alongside her sister Amy, who also has Amy as her partner, she revealed her love in live.

Tammy stated in the episode that she wasn’t the only one seeing someone new and that she hadn’t told her family about it. Not just Amy, who has been seeing someone new, is her. So have I… I’ve been seeing someone for a while, and things are going pretty well.

The woman I’m dating is Tammy’s next step, she later said. I haven’t told my family because they will have a piece of the story. Because of how fared they are, I believe my family probably has more opinions than anyone else.

The reality TV star, who claimed to have been gay a few years ago, revealed that she had not dated anyone since her husband Caleb’s passing in 2023. In November of this year, he passed away. The pair wed.

She claims that while she was a pansexual before losing her partner, she now doesn’t want to be with men anymore.

The sad news was confirmed by Caleb’s younger brother on Facebook at the time. He wrote, “I can’t believe I’m even writing this post, but GOD called my big brother home today.”

“R. I. P. Caleb Willingham, also known as Killla K. Double K., is one of the dynamic tag team members of the World Wide Web, and I am a big supporter of all of my decisions. You will forever be missed and loved. until we come back together,” he said.

A British Got Talent contestant who made an appearance on the ITV talent show in 2014 has revealed that his wife is expecting their first child.

In an adorable Instagram post, Michael Auger revealed that his wife Nicole is expecting their first child. The 35-year-old singer, who is a member of the Collabro singing group, won the 2014 competition.

The singer and Nicole posed outside the Eiffel Tower on Instagram to share the happy news with the audience. Nicole’s bump was captured on camera by Michael on the knee as he eked out, “In the city of love celebrating our new lil love (love heart emoji) #paris #eurostar.”

The pair’s sweet picture was flooded with messages as they posted it. Jamie Lambert, Michael’s bandmate, simply wrote, “Lovely, Lovely, Lovely,” along with a red heart emoji.

“Oh wow!! penned by singer Lauren Samuels!” Congratulations!!!! One person yelled, “Wow! ” while another yelled, “Wow! Omg omg omg!! The best news of all time. I’m happy. What gorgeous bambino will you produce, guys.

Michael and his bandmates Collabro won Britain’s Got Talent in 2014. In 2014, Michael rose to fame. The band was made up of Michael Auger, Jamie Lambert, Matthew Pagan, Thomas J. Redgrave, and Richard Hadfield as members at the time. After the show, the band had success selling more than two million records. However, Richard abruptly left the band in 2016 due to a disagreement over YouTube’s excessive posting of cover songs.

The band continued to perform as a four-piece, growing to the point where Cliff Richard was supported on his Just Fabulous Rock ‘n’Roll Tour of the UK in 2017.

It was obvious that the band would continue to do significant things after their first audition. A standing ovation was given to them as they performed a stirring song from the musical Les Misérables before the judges.

The British praised their efforts when Simon Cowell declared, “Britain has really got talent.” The band made it to the semis after receiving four yeses from the panel.

They signed to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco later that year and won the contest with 26.5% of the vote.

Their debut album, Stars, debuted the following month and immediately soared to the top of the charts.

Reebok’s sporty and accommodative swimsuit was the ideal choice for feeling secure and at ease when I took it with me. I was so pleased with how it turned out.

I’m not sure if you’re aware, but I find swimmingwear to be one of the most difficult things to buy. I need a swimsuit that makes me feel comfortable and confident, and it can be challenging to find the right body shapes and sizes.

So when I purchased Reebok’s Adalia One-Piece Swimsuit, which cost $37.99, and took it on a girls’ trip, I was over the moon when so many people commented on it. The sporty swimsuit is ideal to bring with you because it provides support while you practice your swimming moves and relaxing in a hot tub, as well as providing support while you engage in water sports or lap exercises.

I spent a lot of time lounging in a hot tub, despite not doing much paddleboarding or kayaking on the trip. This swimsuit’s ability to make me feel at ease and not have to constantly adjust everything meant this.

The all-black design is slimming and flattering, as well as concealing lumps and bumps, but the white accents prevent it from being overly boring or plain. The Reebok Adalia One-Piece Swimsuit was a super-soft and supportive swimsuit that everyone raved about.

My favorite feature was the cross-over straps at the back, which I received many compliments for. They show just enough skin without being revealing, and they are stretchy enough to be comfortable while also providing additional support for the bust.

The Reebok Adalia One-Piece Swimsuit’s material is thick and stretchy enough to support your figure and prevent seepage even when you move frequently. Additionally, the chest has padded cups that provide some extra support and coverage.

This swimsuit has been worn by me repeatedly for almost a year, and it hasn’t changed in any way. When it comes to buying swimwear, it also washes incredibly well, which is unquestionable.

My only real gripe is that it’s a little short in the body, so if you’re tall you might not find it gives you quite as much coverage as you’d like. We have however spotted a similar style at Marks & Spencer, with the Tummy Control Padded Strappy Swimsuit, £35, giving you a similar silhouette with a higher neckline, helping to give your chest some extra coverage.

You can purchase this Speedo Swimsuit Scoop Swimsuit in Peacoat for £34 at ASOS, which we also adore. For a flattering silhouette, it has a low scooped back and a high cut leg.

However, it will be a very wise investment because I’ll be taking numerous more vacations and trips with it, so trusty Reebok’s Adalia One-Piece Swimsuit. It’s available for $ 37.99 on Amazon, or $ 37.99 on Sports Direct, where it’s currently on sale.

The Queen of Burlesque exclusively shares her incredible career, her turbulent romantic past, and her sincere thoughts on why she never established a family.

As the undisputed queen of burlesque, Dita Von Teese has been entertaining audiences in little more than a corset for three decades. Now she’s bringing a new show, Diamonds And Dust, to London. But despite her remarkable career, the humble 52-year-old, who has performed for international royalty, A-list celebrities and billionaire entrepreneurs, says she never anticipated global fame at the beginning of her journey.

“I carved out a space for myself when I first started performing burlesque shows in the 90s when it wasn’t really a thing,” she says. “Then I was headlining shows in Vegas and the Crazy Horse in Paris and London and travelling all over the world and I’m very proud of that.

I never imagined my global success would be possible. Never, ever, ever. Not once, either. Although it’s been a crazy experience, watching it keeps me inspired to keep evolving and changing people’s perceptions of what a burlesque show is and expanding the burlesque movement.

Helping her with that goal is none other than Taylor Swift, the one person who Dita would love to join her on stage this summer at the West End’s newest theatre, The Emerald. The unlikely duo joined forces in 2022 – in giant Martini glasses – when the 14-times Grammy Award winning singer songwriter invited Dita to appear with her in the video for her single Bejeweled. “If I needed a stand-in one night and she was in London, I’d definitely give Taylor a call,” says Dita. “She could definitely pull it off.”

“Taylor is a super-smart girl,” says Dita, whose ability to seductively blend golden era Hollywood glamour and attention-grabbing stunts – like appearing in a giant powder compact or on a bucking bronco refashioned as an oversized lipstick – catapulted her to international stardom and the covers of magazines including Playboy and Vogue.

She first called me and said she was aware of my background and that I was a fantastic performer. After that, she explained the idea for the video, which was a burlesque reinterpretation of Cinderella, where we both end up alternating in chest-high Martini glasses while wearing only diamanté-studded bustiers.

She said, “I want you to be in this video because I want people to know what you do.” She merely spearheaded the entire video shoot, which was extremely smart and savvy. Watching her was amazing. On that set, I really enjoyed getting to know her and talking to her.

In her personal life, Dita has been with her partner, designer Adam Rajcevich since 2014 – seven years after her tumultuous divorce from goth rocker Marilyn Manson. The controversial musician faced sexual assault and domestic violence allegations until California prosecutors dropped all charges in January this year. Dita is delighted that her life today is a million miles away from the media circus it had become when she and Manson, real name Brian Warner, were together.

Dita, who was born in West Branch, Michigan, recalls her divorce and makes fun of it. “I can be like, Whoa,” I thought. When did you divorce the rock star, exactly? You can learn from every circumstance, though it was crazy. I’ve grown weary of dating in the public eye, and I’m not interested in dating any of those famous couples who “sling s**t at each other on X.”

Dita lives in her Tudor revival mansion at the foot of the Hollywood Hills, where she rarely gets to spend time with her other half. While Adam is working on her new show in London, she is content to take some domestic chores.

“The most romantic thing in my life right now is just that I can go off and do my thing, and I have someone who will take care of my kitties and call me every morning and send me video updates. That’s super romantic to me. It’s not like, ‘Oh, you’re gonna have to just take care of yourself,’ or, ‘Why aren’t you here?’ It really means a lot.”

The star – who also appeared on screen in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and on The Masked Dancer – looks at least a decade younger. A passionate advocate of clean living, minimal alcohol and even more minimal exposure to the UVA rays of the sun, she was disappointed to have to answer accusations from ITV viewers that her beauty is anything but natural, when she appeared as a guest on Lorraine in January.

“I was like, ‘I have had no work done. I haven’t even had Botox,’ then I started going, ‘Does my face look weird? Does my face look puffy? Do I look like I’ve had some injections?’ Because honest to God I’ve not had any work done. I was like, ‘I haven’t even got started on any of that yet,’ and I thought, ‘Wow, it’s weird to have people accusing you of having plastic surgery when you just haven’t.’”

But she avoided making any comments about her critics. It was just left alone, I thought. Someone else said to me, “Just look at it as a compliment.” Nobody will ever be happy. They’ll be upset if you tell them what you did. They believe you to be lying if you claim that you didn’t do anything. I’m at a loss for words. It’s challenging.

Dita has also grown tired of decades of questions asking her to justify her decision not to have children. “Looking back at my life, I think, ‘When would I have done that?’” says Dita, who has two sisters, Sarah and Jena. “I do remember one time about 20 years ago Madonna telling me not to let motherhood pass me by and I remember thinking, ‘Oh, well, I guess it has though.’ Do I feel like she was right? I don’t know. I’d just got divorced and then life happens and then suddenly you’re like, ‘Oh, here we are.’”

The future for Dita may not involve motherhood, but it may well involve a new continent. “After the fires, I’m definitely considering saying goodbye to LA,” says Dita. “Do you think the UK will take me?” she asks. “I can totally see myself in the British countryside. Maybe not London, but perhaps Ireland or Scotland.”

She has no desire to hang up her corset any time soon, whether in California or Cowdenbeath.
