They continued, noting that the former couple’s “thing” has always been the past. If they crossed paths, “they went on,” which would be a PR nightmare. especially since they are hardly speaking.

The Australian producer, 69, had been married to The Greatest Showman actor, 56, for 27 years before they announced their shock split back in 2023. Since then, Deborra is said to have remained estranged from her ex husband. Meanwhile, Wolverine star Hugh has gone public with his new girlfriend, American actress Sutton, 50.

After confirming his new romance, several of Hugh’s friends from Australia were reportedly “disgusted” with his actions. At the time, sources toldRadar: “Hugh’s friends in Australia are close to Debs too, and they’re siding with her in all of this.

Hugh and Sutton are in a state of absolute love, even though they haven’t publicly shared their feelings. Debs feels like she was let down for the younger model, which is unfortunate.

Sheila Hancock on BBC The One Show makes scathing remark about UK’s politicians

In the wake of the local elections, Dame Sheila Hancock, who praised Winston Churchill on The One Show on the BBC, savagely expressed her views on the UK political scene.

British icon Dame Sheila Hancock called all UK politicians “lying gits” in a scathing dig on The One Show last night.

The 92-year-old actress appeared on the BBC show to discuss her role at the VE Day concert on Thursday. Talking to Alex Jones and Roman Kemp, Dame Sheila praised Winston Churchill, famously our prime minister during World War Two.

In a cutting comparison, she lauded Mr Churchill’s honesty and slammed the “lying gits” she believes are in office today. The actress, who has had roles in EastEnders and sitcoms including The Rag Trade, Mr Digby Darling and Now, Take My Wife, said: “Don’t you just love Churchill? He always told the truth. He said ‘we will probably be invaded, we will fight them on the beaches, we will do all that but we will never surrender.’ He never promised us anything. All the lying gits we have at the moment promise all sorts of things and he never did… I’m sorry.”

During World War Two, Dame Sheila, who was born on the Isle of Wight in 1933, was forced to flee with her family. On Thursday, she and other stars, including Dames Joan Collins and Mary Berry, will raise the memorial and pay homage to those who served and made sacrifices.

On the One Show’s couch on Monday, Ross Kemp and Sophie Raworth, a newsreader for the BBC, and Ross Kemp, a presenter and actor, were present. Sophie and I discussed plans for the concert in central London and the rest of VE Anniversary week.

Dame Sheila said she hopes the performance will highlight the need “to make a better world” in the modern day. The mother of two, who was last in BBC crime drama The Sixth Commandment in 2023, continued: “I pray that now, rather than looking back and thanking the veterans, we thank them by making sure it doesn’t happen again, and making sure that we make a better world, the only way we are going to solve the huge problems that we have in the world is to unite, love and care for one another worldwide, not within the country. That is the greatest gift that we can give for the lovely people who gave their lives for us.”

Met Gala 2025: Rihanna further fuels pregnancy rumours as show-stopping outfit revealed

Rihanna, the queen of the Met Gala, has reportedly revealed that she is expecting number three by flaunting what appears to be a pregnancy bump. The singer, who has two sons with partner A$AP Rocky, has been the subject of rumors that a second child is on the way in recent weeks as a result of several baggy outfits that she has worn to conceal her stomach.

Rihanna appears to be ready to confirm the speculation by wearing a figure-hugging ensemble as she travels to the 2025 Met Gala in New York City in a video that was shared on social media this evening.

Rihanna, who typically arrives late for the annual fundraiser, appeared to have used her fitted two-piece Miu Miu to announce a major event at the 2025 gala, which her partner A $AP co-chairs. The Carlyle Hotel photographed the star outside with her entire outfit on display before walking the blue carpet.

Fans went crazy online before the 2025 Met Gala, as seen in Rihanna Rihanna’s footage from the Carlyle Hotel (WWD via Getty Images).

One fan wrote on Twitter (X) as the images of the star setting off the Metropolitan Museum of Art showed up online, saying, “Rihanna is pregnant again that album is NEVER coming #MetGala2025”. As Rihanna’s photos went viral, another assuming fan wrote, “Rihanna pregnant and beautiful,” and a third joke, “Rihanna pregnant with everything but an album.” Rihanna’s representatives have been asked for comment by The Mirror.

The Work star’s second pregnancy was revealed during her Super Bowl performance in a similarly covert manner in 2023. She became the first woman to lead the halftime show while she was pregnant in the process.

However, the Fenty founder later revealed that she hadn’t initially planned to make her bump debut in the video game. The thing is “Here,” you read. I had to do what, right? In December 2023, she told Access Hollywood that her jumper couldn’t zip up.

As the footage from the Met Gala aired (@X), fans of the singer all joked that her eagerly awaited new album would be delayed even further.

She continued, “No one knew I was pregnant,” laughing. Make sure it’s stretchy, I just told my stylist. You know the zip, but the undergarment was stretchy and this [jacket] was baggy. Simply put, it abruptly stopped there! Therefore, it had to be what it was.

A $AP Rocky and Rihanna have two sons named Riot Rose and RZA, who were born in May of 2022. The SOS singer revealed in a candid interview last year that growing up had increased her aversion to life.

“I’m afraid of sh**,” I confess. You worry about your kids’ well-being constantly, she told The Cut. Nobody warns you that having children means you’ll worry about it every day.

The star expanded on raising RZA, 2, and Riot, 1, earlier this year. She told Harper’s Bazaar, “Every decision I make revolves around them, but everything I do in love with steals my heart.” So I feel strange resentment toward the things I enjoy. You almost feel as though something will always suffer when you appear somewhere.

The proud mother continued, “RZA is just an empath. He has such magical abilities. He enjoys music. He enjoys music. He enjoys books. And Riot, who is also hilarious. He begins to squeal and scream when he awakes. not crying. He merely desires to sing. And I’m like, “Okay, here we go!” He sets my morning alarm! He won’t say “no” to anyone. Dude, I’m not sure where he came from.

Rihanna joined the star-studded Met Gala co-chairs at Anna Wintour’s New York City residence on Sunday and immediately attracted attention with her effortlessly chic androgynous appearance. Serena Williams, Pharrell, Colman Domingo, James Corden, and her beau A $AP Rocky welcomed the 37-year-old singer to her home.

Rihanna wore a bold black belt and a chic brown pinstriped jacket that was cinched at the waist. Given her recent preference for baggy clothing, the singer’s outfit sparked further rumors about a potential third pregnancy.

Her sport coat was the subject of a patchwork ensemble with fabric-covered buttons and wide-set pinstripes. One of her guards held the jacket’s interesting train, which was made of contrasting black material and a suit-like lining, as she exited her SUV.

Rihanna paired her jacket with black pinstriped pants in a tighter pattern and a vibrant scarlet button-up shirt for a pop of color. She complemented her look with a sophisticated grey pointy-toed heels, a gold pocket chain, and a black leather belt.

Kylie Jenner remembers late ‘best friend’ as she marks first Met Gala since his death

Kylie Jenner’s late friend and hairstylist Jesus Guerrero, who passed away earlier this year, assisted her in getting ready for previous installments of the annual Met Gala in New York.

Before her first Met Gala without him, Kylie Jenner paid tribute to her late friend Jesus Guerrero.

Kylie Jenner has remembered her friend Jesus Guerrero ahead of attending her first Met Gala since his death. She subtly paid tribute to the late hairstylist on social media before gracing the red carpet of the annual fashion event.

It was announced in February that Jesus – who had worked with a host of celebrity clients in his career – had “suddenly and unexpectedly” died, aged 34. The news was met with tributes at the time, including from people he had worked with like singer Jennifer Lopez and reality TV star Kylie, 27.

The Kardashians star appeared to reflect on her friendship with Jesus in a post on her Instagram Story today ahead of this year’s Met Gala. She’s expected to be among the guests at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York tonight.

In the past, Jesus had collaborated with Kylie on her looks for the famous event, and they both shared moments on the platform. The photo of herself and her friend Jesus, which the entrepreneur didn’t include a caption, was unaccompanied.

The photo depicted her getting ready for the Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion photo from the Met Gala last year. While Jesus was taming her hair, she was seen wearing the off-white gown that she later modeled on the red carpet.

This year marks Kylie’s first Met Gala with Jesus, whom she described as “more” than a friend in a tribute post to him earlier this year following his death. She told fans at the time that she would “cherish” all of their moments together.

In February, Kylie wrote, “Jesus was more than just my friend; he was a light in my life, a source of joy, peace, love, and unwavering support.” Without him by my side, I have no idea how I would have survived the past almost ten years. Even the heaviest days felt lighter thanks to him.

She continued, “Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, and for being my friend,” in her post at the time. I can’t imagine moving forward without you because of how much pain you’re going to experience, but I’m aware that great grief only comes from great love. And I adored you so much.

You had unmatched talent, Kylie continued in her message, “You were the best.” a genuine artist. You have and will continue to inspire many. My heart will forever be filled with your words, laughter, kindness, and beautiful spirit.

She said, “I’ll cherish every moment we have together.” every hug and laugh. I’d like to give you another hug. I spent hours talking in my bed, much like you used to. For one more in-depth discussion, I would be happy to offer anything. I’m going to miss you a lot. More than words can express. 222 my angel”.

Her earlier post, which was published two months ago, contained a number of images of her and Jesus. One photo showed Jesus preparing for her hair before the Met Gala last year, which is a photo that Kylie shared today, though it was different.

Jesus had shared information about Kylie’s friendship with Jesus on his own account over the years. He described her as his “muse” in a post that included photos of Kylie wearing an outfit she modeled at a party after the Met Gala in 2023.

Rebekah Vardy ‘in talks to star in huge Netflix show’ as she and Jamie ‘eye up US move’

After being said to be in talks to move their careers across the Atlantic, Jamie Vardy and his wife Rebekah are said to be considering a move to the US.

Jamie and Rebekah Vardy are reportedly considering a move to America, after Becky is in talks with a huge Netflix show. The Leicester City player – who will be leaving the club at the end of the season is also reportedly wanted by MLS teams.

The 38-year-old recently announced that he would leave the football team at the end of the season after 13 years. The sportsman is currently being chased by US teams, including D. C. United, according to reports.

As well as tempting offers for both, the move could also be a “fresh start” for Becky after the Wagatha Christie drama with Coleen Rooney.

“The US is the most likely next move for the Vardys and is partly because Becky has had interest in TV work there,” a source told The Sun.

“She was in talks with the makers of Selling Sunset earlier this year. They wanted her to appear as the potential buyer of a luxury home there.” The source then went on to say that the talks were delayed earlier this year due to the California wild fires, although it “could still happen”.

However, it’s not only Netflix eyeing the 43-year-old up, as the source continued: “And other networks over there are aware of her because of her high profile through starring on I’m a Celeb and also the ­Wagatha case.”

However, according to reports, the decision depends on Jamie’s future and the kind of football offers he gets, with many UK clubs interested in him as well.

The Mirror has contacted representatives of Rebekah Vardy for comment.

The WAG’s recent announcement comes after her last-ditch effort to defeat Wagatha Christie rival Coleen Rooney, who last month claimed she was “disappointed” in losing her most recent court fight.

Last month, a High Court ruled that Coleen’s lawyers did not commit misconduct after Vardy’s teams accused them of “deliberately” understating some of her costs in her high-profile libel battle.

Rebekah said she wanted to “move on” from the saga after reacting to the ruling at the time. We are appreciative of the disclosure required in one decision, but we are respectfully disappointed that our appeal was unsuccessful in the other one, according to a Vardy spokesperson. We simply want to move forward and envision the future. At this time, we won’t be commenting.
