Selena Gomez has jetted off to Mexico to celebrate her hen do, just hours after she celebrated bestie Taylor Swift’s engagement announcement on social media
Bride-to-be Selena Gomez has shared a slew of photos from her hen do, just hours after reacting to bestie Taylor Swift’s engagement announcement.
The Only Murders In the Building actress, 32, and music producer Benny Blanco took the next step in their relationship in December, with Selena sharing snaps of her future husband’s proposal on Instagram.
Alongside pictures of her sparkling ring, and her with Benny, she wrote: “Forever begins now.” Quick to comment was Taylor Swift, who told her newly engaged pal: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”

While Taylor may have been keen to be involved when her friend walks down the aisle last year, but eight months on, the Shake It Off hitmaker, 35, was nowhere to be seen as Selena celebrated her recent bachelorette party.
The Emilia Perez star gave fans a sneak peek of her goodbye to singledom festivities on Instagram today, with a whole host of female friends joining her in Cabo San Luca, Mexico.
Selena certainly embraced her new bridal era as she stunned in various white outfits, including a cute white bikini, a pearl-studded halter-neck dress, and a veil with “bride to be” embroidered across it.
Taylor’s absence at Selena’s milestone party comes in the wake of Come And Get It singer sharing a unique reaction to her pal’s engagement to Travis Kelce. After sharing Travis and Taylor’s announcement post on her Instagram Stories, adding “When bestie gets engaged”, Selena reposted a fan post that placed Taylor’s engagement snaps next to one of Selena and Benny’s proposal scene.
Joey Essex, a former TOWIE star, is getting ready to make his long-awaited boxing debut against influencer NUMEIRO at Misfits 22. He has revealed a dramatic body transformation.
Before his first major boxing match, Joey Essex has a dramatic new appearance.
Prior to making his official boxing debut this weekend, the 35-year-old former TOWIE star and Love Island contestant has undergone a significant body transformation.
Joey has surprised viewers by revealing a much more physical side than his popular on-screen persona and fame. With his clearly bulging muscles and a toned body, he will now face Portuguese influencer NUMEIRO at Misfits 22 on August 30 at Manchester’s AO Arena.
Joey’s original plan to appear on a Misfits card in Qatar last year before the plans were abandoned has changed significantly. He is not new to boxing, despite having a celebrity background, because his uncle is well-known boxing coach Tony Simms, who co-founded the British boxing team Conor Benn.
Around 7 p.m. in the UK time for the fight, but the full event will start at 5 p.m.
Joey remarked before his debut that he was looking forward to it. I’m so anxious right now. On August 30th, I can’t even express how excited I am to enter that ring. I’ll be in my element. There have been negotiations that were difficult to reach and times that have been in the past.

It’s been four years since Daniel Craig officially announced his departure from the James Bond franchise

It’s been four years since we last saw Daniel Craig don the iconic tuxedo as James Bond, and ever since he hung up his Walther PPK, fans have been left wondering – who will be the next 007?
The final film, No Time To Die, marked the 27th instalment in the legendary franchise, but so far, there’s been no word on the title of the next film or who will step into Bond’s stylish shoes. The character, created by Ian Fleming for his series of spy novels in 1953, was catapulted to global fame in the 1960s when it hit the silver screen.
Over the past six decades, a host of Hollywood heavyweights have portrayed the suave secret agent, including original Bond Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and of course, Daniel Craig. Now, with Amazon reportedly snapping up the rights to the franchise in a staggering $1 billion deal, anticipation is mounting over who will usher in this new era of Bond.
Bookmaker Betway has thrown its hat into the ring, releasing odds that blend established stars with up-and-coming talent, giving us a glimpse at who might be chosen to fill those legendary loafers – and tux. According to Betway, pop sensation Harry Styles is currently an outside bet to play the next James Bond, with odds of 200/1.

Will Poulter and Jonathan Bailey are in the running with odds of 66/1 and 50/1 respectively, but all eyes are on the top half of the list. The all-male lineup includes some of the biggest British actors currently in the industry, as well as some emerging faces, reports the Express.
However, leading the pack with the best odds is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, at 11/10.
Taylor-Johnson, who entered the industry as a child actor, has had an impressive career trajectory. From starring in the teen rom-com Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging in 2008 to featuring in Danny Boyle’s latest thriller, 28 Years Later.
At 35, he seems to be a fan favourite for stepping into Bond’s shoes, potentially bringing a new edge to the role with his long hair and full beard – quite different from the smooth 007 we’re used to.
While Taylor-Johnson is currently leading the odds, there are plenty of other contenders hot on his heels. Henry Cavill is a potential front-runner with odds of 3/1, followed by Callum Turner at 5/1 and long-rumoured potential Bond, Theo James, at 8/1.

James has taken on a number of roles that align closely with the genre, in The White Lotus and The Gentleman, demonstrating his ability to handle gritty action roles while maintaining the charm and wit typical of a 007 character. Fans were convinced he’d be the perfect fit, but the odds have started to slip, and it’s believed that he himself has ‘shut down’ the idea.
He confessed to The Guardian: “Everyone’s interested in playing Bond because it’s a big part of British cultural identity, but that probably wouldn’t be me… I do think there are better people for that job. And, honestly, it would be terrifying… You’re opening Pandora’s box.”
Meanwhile, Taylor-Johnson was quizzed by a reporter at the premiere of his latest film about his next venture, to which he responded, “I can’t talk about it.”
Fans continue to speculate as the iconic franchise gears up for its next instalment, and rumours are rife that the next blockbuster is already under development.
The £36 coat from Pirmark, which is available in two autumnal colors, is adored by shoppers.

Primark is stocking a ‘beautiful’ £36 autumn coat that looks ‘so timeless’. Shoppers love the Longline Mac, which is available in camel or khaki. TikTok user @soniadiane praised both colour options when she shared a try-on video that racked up hundreds of likes. For those interested, the jacket is described as a mac with a collared neckline and button-front fastening.
The product description reads: “A staple in your every season outerwear collection, this longline mac will see you through spring, summer and beyond. Cut to a longline silhouette, it’s a chic and stylish option that will add a sophisticated finishing touch to every look.
You can wear it open or closed thanks to the button-front closure and collared neckline. The versatile colorway coordinates perfectly with every outfit, and the contrast lining extends through the inside of the arms to make the cuffs fold up and add a stylish appearance.
Fashion fan @soniadiane thinks the jacket is perfect for autumn. Her video caption said: “Girlies run to Primark. How GORGEOUS is this expensive looking long trench coat. I am utterly in love and it’s safe to say she came home with me and is hung in my wardrobe ready for the start of my favourite season.
“Also is it me or is she [an alternative] of the M&S viral jacket?! I’m a size 14 and 5ft 5 and picked her up in a medium for £36 which I thought was reasonable considering how absolutely gorgeous she is. They also had her in camel and she was equally stunning but I felt like this khaki was a bit of me!”

The viewers’ impressions were equally strong. One satisfied customer remarked, “Girl, I picked this up yesterday.” I responded, “I bought her too! Literally, “in LOVE”! Another fan praised Sonia, saying, “Wow you look beautiful.”
“Stunnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg” was the third phrase. I’m obsessed with it, Sonia responded, “Cannot wait for autumn now”! I love the color of that, a different fan wrote. “Absolutely love it,” was the more encouraging phrase.
You wouldn’t believe it to be from Primark, Sonia replied, “Truly! The ideal fall staple, because it is so thick. Oh, that’s so timeless, wrote another author. Love it”. Isn’t it!, Sonia responded. I didn’t think a coat costing more than 36 euros! I purchased her.
Alternatively, Primark offers a £34 Trapeze Barn Jacket and a £26 Corduroy Bubble Hem Jacket. Both styles have impressed autumn shoppers online. The product description for the Trapeze Barn Jacket says: “Layer up with this barn-style jacket in a rich brown shade.

Long sleeves, a button-up front, and a traditional corduroy collar are included in the trapeze silhouette for a relaxed fit that widens at the hem. The buttoned cuffs complete the look while the front flap patch pockets add additional functionality. When you need that extra layer, it’s a simple piece to throw over casual outfits.

Meanwhile, the product description for the Corduroy Bubble Hem Jacket says: “This corduroy jacket is here to bring texture and shape to your seasonal wardrobe. The zip-up front makes it easy to throw on, while the collared neckline adds a polished touch. What makes it special? The bubble hemline creates a relaxed, rounded silhouette that’s both flattering and fun.
