Liam Payne’s girlfriend took to social media to share a heartbreaking message to the star eight months after the death of her “angel”. Kate Cassidy shared a number of snaps of the singer to mark the date, devastatingly admitting she thought “I had so much more time and life left to share” with the former One Direction man.

Kate penned in the Instagram upload: “8 months ago today, I lost my best friend and someone I thought I had so much more time and life left to share with. Liam was the kind of person you’d start missing the moment you walked out the door.

Even when leaving the house for a few hours, I’d find myself rushing home to be with him again out of excitement. Now facing the reality that I live in a constant state of missing you is something I still can’t fully wrap my head around.”

The emotional post continued: “Knowing I can’t just come home and see you, hear your voice, or feel your hug, it’s a type of pain I can’t fully put into words. I can’t seem to tell if life is flying by without you or moving so slow none of it fully makes sense.

But I am trying to live my life as best I can for now and live it for you. I miss you more than words can say.

Among the images was Liam and Kate in a bedroom as she appeared to be wearing a “Payne” shirt. Another showed the pair enjoying a laugh at a formal event. While Kate was wearing a striking red blazer, the singer was seen in a beige suit and hat combination.

Kate also shared a screen shot of her phone from August 1. In it, there are a number of message alerts from Liam, including a sweet message that read: “I literally couldn’t love you more if I tried and somehow I will tomorrow.” He also told his girlfriend: “I can’t wait to see you.”

Liz Hurley’s son Damian was among those sharing a comment on the touching post. He wrote: “Charge Liam’s Apple Watch,” with a crying with laughter emoji. He continued to tell her: “I love you so much.”

Last week it was revealed two men accused of supplying former One Direction star with cocaine shortly before his death will face trial. Prosecutors revealed Waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz and ex-hotel worker Ezequiel David Pereyra will stand trial for their alleged part in the singer’s death last October.

They duo have been behind bars since January after they were charged in connection to Liam’s death at a Buenos Aires hotel. The pair face up to 15 years in prison if convicted of drugs offences. Prosecutors also revealed Liam had taken cocaine in his CasaSur Palermo Hotel and and consumed it “up to a few minutes before his death”.

Joss Stone gives birth seven months after welcoming her third baby

Joss Stone says she is “so in love” after welcoming her fourth child. The 38-year-old singer – who has Violet, four, Shackleton, two, and Bear, seven months with her her husband Cody DaLuz – revealed her new arrival on Monday as she shared the first photo of herself cuddled up with her daughter.

She wrote alongside the snap on Instagram: “Happy #mummymondays. Welcome our beautiful Nalima Rose to the world. We are so in love.”

Joss and Cody found out she was pregnant just weeks after adopting baby boy Bear. Back in December, she wrote on Instagram: “Honestly. Shocked was an understatement. Nothing and no one can take our joy now.

“We are so chuffed !!!! Maybe we should call the ‘Less is More’ tour the preggo tour. (sic)” she announced after discovering the news before she was about to hit the road.

The Super Duper Love star,38, revealed she found the adoption process far from smooth-sailing, with numerous setbacks along the way.

Joss said she’d always dreamed of adopting a child and discussed it with her partner within the first few weeks of them dating.
After making the decision after having two children naturally together, Joss said they spent a year and a half trying to make it happen.

“We had some adoptions fall through,” Joss revealed. “We’ve had moments where we were chosen, but we couldn’t get there in time. There’s been lots of things that have happened, and you start to feel like it’s not going to happen.

“And then, we got that call. And it’s just the most beautiful thing. He’s so sweet and his birth mother is so sweet. She could not be any nicer. It’s just like everything is perfect. We haven’t got to deal with a difficult situation. It’s all love. Everyone is just full of love for this little guy.”

Joss said her husband was adopted as a child and it’s something he always wanted to do.

But the journey to collect their little one Bear did not go entirely smoothly, as the couple ended up in the wrong hospital and became confused about where to go.

Joss explained: “We were in the wrong hospital. I knew it! That’s why Tummy Mummy said eighth floor, and the guy downstairs said second floor because they are totally different hospitals!”

When Bear was just weeks old, Joss revealed he had problems with his lungs and doctors have warned them not to take him out anywhere.

In a video posted on Instagram, Joss was seen sitting in her car with Bear and saying: “I am sat in the car with him because he is so little that he can’t go out because he was so premature his lungs are a little bit vulnerable.

“I’m just here with little man hanging out.”

While she was told not to take Bear out, she still had to get him to a doctor’s appointment.

The pop star added: “At the hospital they said: ‘Don’t take him out anywhere’. “But shortly after they said but make a doctor’s appointment and I thought: ‘Hang on you just told me not to take him out as his lungs are too vulnerable but you want me to bring him to the doctors where there are all these germs and stuff?’ “

American rapper and singer Doja Cat has found herself in the firing line yet again after a “crazy” fan interaction caused a stir online. A video that captured the uncomfortable moment she had with a fan was shared on TikTok, and despite what looked like a friendly exchange, the star came out to share her truth behind the experience.

The fan in question was Pablo Tamayo, an influencer and jewellery designer with over 400k followers on TikTok. He has shared numerous interactions with other famous faces who have received his products, including the likes of Paris Hilton, Rihanna and Saweetie.

In the viral video with Doja Cat, Pablo is seen standing next to the singer outside of an event, and after the singer complimented his shirt, he took it off his back and gave it to her. The shirt had its own significance, as it was a design of his, made in collaboration with a clothing brand called Melimayystudios.

In the video, the influencer leans in to give the star a passionate hug, holding her by his side, before giving her a kiss on the cheek and pulling her in to jump up and down with him in a celebratory moment. At the time of its release, fans flooded the comments of the video, admiring the cute interaction and praising Doja.

That was until the 29-year-old rapper made a statement about the truth behind the video. In a post on the social media site X, which has now been deleted, she wrote: “Bottom line is I’ll smile at you, but it doesn’t mean I f–k with you, and don’t touch me and manhandle me when you don’t even f—-n know me. iykyk.

“I honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. And he didn’t even know my f—–g name; to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy,” she wrote.

In response, a confused user shared that they felt she looked as though she enjoyed the interaction and asked for further context. She replied simply, saying: “I was very drunk idk what to tell you.”

It didn’t stop there; she responded to a fan further explaining her feelings about the encounter, sharing: “I don’t like how comfortable he was touching me and kissing me without asking permission.” Fans were left feeling confused, while others respected that Doja’s feelings were valid, and if she felt violated, that it’s something she should make people aware of for any future fan meetings.

Hurt by the statement, Pablo took to TikTok to explain his side of the story captured in the video. He wrote: “I just want to clear this up because it hurts because I loved her. I watched her at Coachella. I never claimed to be the biggest fan, but I stan her, and I think her work is amazing.”

He continued to say: “I would’ve never wanted to make her uncomfortable. I would’ve never filmed if she didn’t say yes. That video that we filmed was after everything,” he continued. “I understand that she has to set her boundaries. She’s a celebrity. I’m not. I will never understand that, so I value that… I appreciate it, and I get that.

“I apologise if I did anything wrong at all; I know I didn’t know her first. I never claimed to be the biggest fan ever. I just respect her a lot for her work,” he added. The Mirror has reached out to Pablo Tamayo and Doja Cat for comment.

David Hekili Kenui Bell dead: Lilo & Stitch actor dies weeks after Disney film premiere

A star of Lilo & Stitch has died just weeks after the movie was released, his family has confirmed. Those closest to David Hekili Kenui Bell announced the actor died in an emotional statement.

David recently starred in the live-action remake of Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, which premiered in cinemas last month. David’s sister Jalene confirmed the tragedy on Facebook. She described her brother as a “sweet, generous, talented, funny, brilliant, and handsome” brother.

She revealed that although she didn’t have a father figure growing up, “David gave me all the unconditional love I could possibly ask for and I believe that all his family and friends received the same from him.”

Jalene recalled meeting David at her high school graduation after “asking for years” to meet him. “He was always so proud of me, his nieces, and his grandnephew, constantly engaged and always coming up with fun activities to get-together. We looked forward to going to Tatihi and the Lindsey reunion together to create more family connections.”

According to Jalene’s post, David’s last outing with her was treating the family to the premiere of Lilo and Stitch in Kapolei. “He planned ahead and purchased the best seats in the house for us all to go together to opening night in Kapolei just two short weeks ago,” the grieving sister wrote, reports the Mirror US.

“That’s one trait we didn’t share, planning ahead. We talked about and were so energised by the fans dressed in LandS gear head to toe, t-shirts, onesies, hats, masks, and the merch galore flying off the shelf as we stood in line for popcorn.”

Fans flocked to X, previously known as Twitter, to express their sorrow. “rest easy, mahalo for the memories and the mana you gave this world,” one user posted.

“Aw man, RIP to the Lilo and Stitch legend. Gone too soon,” another chimed in. The cause of death has not been disclosed at this time.

Today’s horoscope for Tuesday, June 17 will see Aries meet challenges head-on, while Capricorn is ready to put their trust in someone

Find out what’s written in the stars with our astrologer Russell Grant(Image: Daily Record/GettyImages)

It’s Tuesday, and one star sign should trust their ability to manage a situation, while another will be deeply committed to a new goal.

There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

In your usual forthright style you will want to meet challenges head-on. You find it easier to overcome problems when you keep your outlook positive and trust in your ability to manage the situation. Also, facing up to responsibilities leaves you feeling more successful.

Taurus (Apr 21 – May 21)

Someone is keen to finalise a financial or legal arrangement. You’re uncertain about it. Now is not the time to let others pressure you into a decision you might later regret. Consider the possible consequences of all decisions. Plan ahead to ensure you feel secure about your commitments.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

Exploring new places and taking on new commitments will provide you with experiences you’ve never had before. You are likely to find yourself with more time to spend with friends and family and you might notice it’s been a while since you’ve felt this relaxed and comfortable.

Cancer (June 22 – July 23)

Make positive use of your charm and charisma to bring a long-held dream to life. Keep telling yourself that you can realise a cherished wish. This is the perfect time to showcase your creative talents, submit a university application or apply for a loan. Everything is looking promising now.

Leo (July 24 – Aug 23)

Some new faces will join your working environment, bringing with them new interests and new ideas. Your involvement with a club or group will present you with an unexpected offer and this is a one you will want to accept immediately.

Virgo (Aug 24 – Sept 23)

A changing financial situation is giving you more hope for the future. The thought of being able to make a down payment on a house or a car will fill you with renewed hope and excitement. You might also be thinking about investing in something that brings back fond childhood memories.

Libra (Sept 24 – Oct 23)

You are deeply committed to a new goal despite what someone else is inferring. They don’t realise how serious you are about this. While others may not understand why you have suddenly changed your views, they will be unable to dissuade you from doing what you want to do.

Scorpio (Oct 24 – Nov 22)

Friends and colleagues are grateful for the way you have taken charge of a difficult situation. Your intervention is making a positive difference. You will be asked for advice on handling a similar problem. A mix of practicality and trusting your intuition will guide you through the day.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 – Dec 21)

One way to address an issue related to a joint budget is to share ideas with your partner. Together you will be able to determine the next steps. Also, you might hear a friend from a distance is thinking about visiting you soon. You have mixed feelings about this news.

Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 20)

After some recent events, discussions and interesting revelations, you are ready to put your trust in someone despite some previous doubts about their honesty and reliability. Explanations they have given make sense to you and you can see how and why there have been misunderstandings.

Aquarius (Jan 21 – Feb 19)

Close relationships are more harmonious than they have been recently. In fact, one particular partnership is starting to feel more stable. Later in the day, a health issue related to an older relative will need your attention. This is something you don’t want to ignore.

Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

Computers and electronic devices could be problematic. Be flexible, especially when you are with people who get bored very easily. While you and a close friend or partner may not see eye to eye on every issue, this does not imply a lack of compatibility.

Justin Bieber opens up about his ‘anger issues’ in candid Instagram post

Justin Bieber had taken a swipe at wife Hailey last month on social media amid a worrying period, during which fans have expressed their concern for the popstar

Troubled popstar Justin Bieber has confessed to being “broken” and “angry”.

The singer opened up about his “anger issues” in a new post on Instagram, the latest in a string of self reflections he has uploaded in recent months. Fans have become concerned for the star’s mental health after disturbing social media posts included close-up selfies and blurry images.

But in a candid post today, Bieber, 31, said: “People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already? I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues… I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am.

“Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly, I’m exhausted with thinking about myself lately. Aren’t you?”

Concern has also been shared for Bieber’s relationship with wife Hailey, following spats played out on social media. Bieber blanked his wife on Mother’s Day and, consequently, she chose not to wish him a public happy Father’s Day on Sunday.

They married in South Carolina in September 2019 and, in August last year, model and socialite Hailey gave birth to a son. Since then, the Biebers have had anything but domestic bliss and, earlier this year, the Canadian popstar admitted on social media he struggles with feeling like a “fraud”.

It is a far cry from Bieber’s heady days as a confident 16-year-old prodigy when Baby, his track with Ludacris, peaked at third in the UK charts and fifth in the US. He would, within five years, top both charts with What Do You Mean?, a fun and summery number blasted out at parties across the world.

Fans – reminiscent of that successful Bieber era – took to social media themselves recently to post messages of support. One person said: “Awh good love him seriously struggling it’s looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it’s to late.” As a second wrote: “So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he’s clearly struggling. He’s not clear at all and hurting.”

“Babe. Please go get help,” another chimed in, as a fourth commented: “Omg men u need therapy ur case is serious.”
