It was recently reported that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were keen to develop a ‘US Fab Four’ with Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham, but they’re not the only A-Listers on hand to support the pair.

Brooklyn and Nicola have taken over headlines recently amid a feud with his parents David and Victoria Beckham – and it’s now been reported that Selena Gomez has been standing by Nicola’s side.

The former Disney Channel star announced her engagement with Benny Blanco earlier this year, and sources claim Selena’s using her wedding planning to keep her friend Nicola distracted from the drama.

“Selena is always there for her friends if, and when they need anything,” an insider told DailyMail.com. “She has been messaging Nicola and trying to keep her mind off the drama.”

The source continued by saying that Selena “loves getting Nicola’s advice” on her upcoming nuptials. A second source told the publication that Selena was “hopeful” that the family can heal their rift.

The duo have been close friends since 2022, after meeting at the Academy Museum Gala. The besties became so close that they even got matching “angel” tattoos.

Sources claimed to The Mirror that Nicola and Brooklyn were “devastated” not to see his parents on a recent trip to London.

“Nicola encourages Brooklyn to see his family and is usually the reason Brooklyn does see his family. They are both devastated,” a source said, “They cannot believe that Victoria & David refused to see them privately after they travelled all the way to London specifically to try to repair the relationship.

“As parents, it’s shocking that Victoria & David are behaving this way… instead of privately discussing the issue. Victoria and David (appear to) have no interest in finding a solution that works for everyone.”

It doesn’t look like the family feud is over just yet, with David and eldest son Brooklyn failing to meet last week, despite both being in London. Brooklyn and Nicola also swerved David’s huge 50th birthday bash in London a couple of weeks ago, despite having flown over to the UK to reportedly celebrate with the England star in private. Brooklyn didn’t publicly acknowledge his father David or mother Victoria’s birthdays last month.

Earlier this year it was reported that brothers Brooklyn and Romeo were in a feud – believed to be centred around Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull. It had been suggested that Brooklyn was once romantically linked to Kim, however Hello magazine recently reported that, amid commentary on social media, Cruz wrote in a now-deleted comment that the pair “never dated”.

TMZ previously reported that sources said the issue was over Brooklyn and his wife Nicola questioning whether Kim has “the right intentions” for dating Romeo.

Kneecap star Liam O’Hanna charged with terrorism after flag display at concert

A member of Irish band Kneecap was accused of staging a flag in support of Hezbollah at a concert in London in November and being charged with terrorism.

According to the Metropolitan Police, Liam O’Hanna, who co-hosts the rap trio Mo Chara, has been charged with his deeds.

The Belfast-born musician, 27, was charged following a counter-terrorism investigation led by the force. On June 18, he will show up at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

The artist was accused of displaying a flag at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, North London, on November 21 in “in such a way or under such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he supports a proscribed organization,” the statement read.

The Met’s counter-terrorism command was informed of an online video from the event on April 22 according to the force. The Crown Prosecution Service approved the above charge after conducting an investigation.

Concerts by the group have been postponed, including one at the Eden Project in Cornwall on July 4 because concert footage appeared to show a group member yelling “up Hamas, up Hezbollah.” One allegedly calls for the murder of Conservative MPs in another video.

The group, which was made up of Liam Og O Hannaidh, Naoise O Caireallain, and JJ O Dochartaigh, has been the subject of a counter-terrorism police investigation after the videos, which were shot in 2023 and 2024, were made public.

The group apologized to the families of the murdered MPs who had watched the videos, but claimed that the incident’s footage had been “exploited and weaponized,” and that they had never supported Hamas or Hezbollah, both of which are illegal in the UK.

We express our sincere regrets to the Amess and Cox families because we never intended to hurt you.

Kneecap was reportedly requested by Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, while other politicians demanded that the group be removed from the Glastonbury Festival lineup.

After Sharon Osbourne told them to “be more like Bono,” the band recently responded with a blunt apology.

Kneecap issued a statement in response to Sharon’s initial remarks. The statement read, “Tomorrowing 20, 000 children is not an aggressive statement.

After the band’s formation, Sharon publicly expressed her beliefs on Kneecap using Coachella in an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “Can’t give a damn what you believe in but don’t bring it to a musical festival where there’s peace,” is my entire position. She asserted that music unites people and that it doesn’t separate people.

It’s completely insane that this should continue where young people are drinking or engaging in whatever they want to do; it’s their business, but don’t use their fists to incite violence. Their entire attitude is angry, not peaceful.

‘Shocked’ Kate Garraway suffers setback over late husband Derek Draper’s debts

Kate Garraway’s tax bill and the remaining debt she has from her late husband’s company have shocked her, which was revealed in paperwork from the HMRC.

Good Morning Britain anchor Kate Garraway has been left “shocked” she is still heavily in debt after new paperwork from HMRC showed loan debts of almost £140,000 remain from her late husband’s company as well as a £288,000 tax bill.

Astra Aspera’s statement of receipts and payments, released this week, reveals Kate is pressed to pay back several of Derek’s firm’s outstanding debts.

Despite receiving royalties of £37, 000, there is still a loan of £139, 849 that needs to be repaid, as well as a £288, 000 tax bill from HMRC.

HMRC claims Kate does not currently have the money to pay back, but the company no longer has any assets and that she is still making attempts to recover the money.

She has been working to get the money back, and sources close to her say the company’s employees are keen to point out that Derek’s loss of income and care for him haven’t helped her financially.

After battling for a long time with the long-term effects of Covid, Derek passed away in January of 2024 at the age of 56.

Kate has received all the requests from Derek’s company’s liquidators, including more, according to a Kate spokesman. She is shocked that they are presenting it in this manner because she doesn’t recognize these figures.

When Derek was forced to no longer run his own business, she was deeply financially strapped, but she is determined to put things right. She keeps in touch with HMRC to make sure Derek’s now-defunct company fulfills her obligations.

Kate has made it clear that Derek’s care has had a significant impact on her finances. She has acknowledged all of her difficulties along the way.

Kate has disclosed in full how much Derek’s care is going to cost.

In March 2022, Derek’s company, Astra Aspera Ltd., owed £716 822 to HMRC and £965 548 to four other creditors. Kate has since repaid some money, but she hasn’t been able to pay off all of her debts.

Continue reading the article.

Speaking before her husband’s death, Kate had said in ITV documentary, Kate Garraway: Derek’s Story: “Derek’s care costs more than my salary from ITV and that is before you pay for a mortgage, before you pay any household bills, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

I owe a lot of money. Because I oversee Derek’s care, I can’t even use the money I do have to pay for his recovery because it always goes on the “basics” to pay my debt.

Victoria Beckham has made a defiant claim about her parenting skills as the fallout saga with son Brooklyn Beckham rumbles on. Posh Spice, 51, spoke candidly about being a working mum during a Dubai trip days after hubby David celebrated turning 50 without his son and his wife, Nicola Peltz.

Despite avoiding talk of any feud with her eldest child, the mum-of-four opened up on her parenting techniques, saying she tries her “best” for her kids. Speaking during an interview with YouTube series REVIEWED BY OSA, the fashion designer answered host Osa Machabbi’s question: “Who is Victoria Beckham?”

“I want to think I’m a good wife and mother,” Victoria said. I make an effort to do the best I can. She continued, “I work hard. I believe I am a kind person. I have a strong sense of optimism. I adore positive energy.

Victoria reaffirmed that she has never been perfect and that she is not trying to be perfect. She stated, “I only want to be the best I can be.”

I’m willing to accept my shortcomings. Making the most of who you are is simple; I do that by eating well, exercising regularly, and dressing appropriately. I’m just trying to be the best me so that I can be the best wife, best professional, and best mother.

Victoria later admitted she has “self doubts,” but that she doesn’t let herself get weighed down by them. She said, “she said, before calling herself quite a humble person,” so I think an element of that is always good because, if not, I can see you would become incredibly haughty.

Her words come amid rumors of a Beckham family feud. Romeo, Cruz and Harper, Brooklyn and Nicola were nowhere to be seen, just as David and Victoria’s other children were. The close-knit clan’s involvement was sparked by speculation.

Both parties have spoken out about potential feuds, but their actions appear to speak for themselves as they continue to be apart. However, Victoria last week stated that a reunion is still possible while the door is still shut.

Victoria shared a sweet photo of her clan in which she tagged her estranged eldest son on social media. The singer uploadeda bittersweet throwback photo of her family to mark her dad’s birthday, including her currently estranged son, Brooklyn.

Posh uploaded a picture of her kids with their grandad on the second upload. The image was captioned “The best papa in the world!” by Victoria.

She also included Brooklyn, one of her children, who has been a complete absence from all of her family events for months.

Jafaican actor Peter Andre breaks his silence on problematic movie’s huge backlash

The backlash surrounding Peter Andre’s most recent film, Jafaican, sees the Mysterious Girl singer play a wheeler-dealer who poses as a violent Jamaican gangster has been addressed.

Singer-turned-actor Peter Andre has hit back at critics slamming his latest movie Jafaican, in which he stars as a faux gangster. The heartthrob behind Mysterious Girl takes centre stage in Fredi Nwaka’s latest comedy romp – playing hustler Gary Buckle.

The character attempts to make a quick buck by pretending to be Jamaican and wearing a fake dreadlock wig.

While Jafaican has garnered positive reviews since its unveiling, the flick has been marred by accusations of cultural appropriation and being labelled “tone-deaf” by some viewers. Nevertheless, Peter Andre rebuffed the backlash aiming at his latest venture.

The pop icon advises skeptical people, saying, “I think it’s very simple to criticize something based on a trailer. I would advise you to “go and watch the movie first,” so you can see the context and what the movie is about.

He continued to tell the Daily Star: “A critic should also be able to criticise, so I understand how it is.”

Andre encouraged naysayers to watch the movie before making a decision, acknowledging that it won’t appeal to everyone. Peter defended his work, saying, “I believe it is really important for everyone to have their own opinions.

I don’t believe it’s appropriate to just assume everyone will approve of what you’re doing, but I’ve always said, “Don’t do that, you shouldn’t do that, that’s not the right song to release, that’s not a good video clip,” I’ve always said.

The actor-turned-thespian, who has appeared in David Brent: Life on the Road, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, and Keith Lemon: The Film, explained why he chose to embrace his most recent role.

He resisted being influenced by critics and said, “I would never have accomplished anything if I sat and listened to everyone telling me what to do.” Sometimes, I believe, you just need to push yourself and leave your comfort zone.

A London crook must gather £35,000 to cover his grandmother’s care home expenses in order to pay for her misfortunes in the film. Gary heads off to Jamaica when he learns of a heist that might solve all of his problems. There, he finds himself spiraling downward.

Gary finds himself in a tight spot as locals accept his portrayal of Denton “Kill Man” Powell to snag a deal. In a few ODEON Cinemas, Jafaican is currently showing.

Peter’s kids Princess and Junior were by his side at a recent a red carpet screening for his latest film.The event in London saw the family attend the Genesis Cinema for the private VIP event, posing for photographs ahead of the much-discussed film’s debut.

Peter defended the criticism when he spoke about the film’s promotion on Australian TV earlier in the month: “Well, I mean, I think it’s good to get all kinds of feedback. Although this is not my first lead role, I’ve done many other things before. I’ve played various characters on all of them.

Miley Cyrus reveals hidden battle that almost caused her to quit performing for good

The post-pandemic anxiety battle that made her afraid to perform in public and nearly missing out on the Grammys, where she won two golds, has been addressed by Miley Cyrus.

Miley Cyrus has opened up about the post-pandemic anxiety battle that made her uneasy in public.

Singer Miley Cyrus has revealed that she suffered with anxiety following the Covid-19 pandemic, admitting she was worried about getting back out in public after being locked away for so long.

While the pop star may appear to be oozing with confidence from the outside, she shared in a new interview that lockdown took it’s toll on her sense of self and even left her questioning whether to go to the 2024 Grammy’s, where she was awarded the coveted Record of the Year gong for her acclaimed album Flowers and the Best Pop Solo Award.

Miley told The Zane Lowe Show that she wasn’t going to the Grammys after explaining that she attended the award show for “healing.” I knew I wouldn’t be performing at the Grammys because everyone was experiencing post-pandemic anxiety.

And it felt like a shock to have to spend a few years in front of Oprah on the stage. And I was almost unable to do that.

And I began hosting intimate events at the Chateau Marmont, which I personally selected, and I celebrated the Grammy nominations with the people who were close to me.

She continued, “But it was just so bittersweet because I felt like giving in to excuses the entire night.” One, I was afraid, and there was fear. However, I don’t believe I ever considered how important winning would be to me.

The rare interview comes as Miley recently cleared up rumours she was in a family feud with her mum, Tish, assuring that the pair are tighter than ever.

Rumours began to swirl after Tish reportedly seemingly unfollowed her daughter on Instagram, but clearing things up, the latter put it down to a technical error.

My mama and I are too close to ever get in the way of conversation, according to my rumor-mongering. My closest friend is her. She unfollowed me, which is simple, coincidental, and uninteresting, as she does with most moms, said Miley on Instagram.

Tish echoed this sentiment, saying, “I didn’t.” lol I don’t know what happened. The [pink heart emoji] problem has been fixed, but I have no idea how that happened.
