The Dune: Part Three trailer launch took place in Los Angeles this week, just a day after many of the trilogy's stars attended the 98th Academy Awards. The cast made headlines for their Oscars appearances - Zendaya surprised fans when she presented an award with Dune newcomer Robert Pattinson, while Javier Bardem spoke out against war before announcing the Best International Picture.

However, all eyes were, undoubtedly, on Timothée Chalamet after his months-long Oscar campaign for the Best Actor award. Despite losing out to Michael B. Jordan, the Marty Supreme star appeared in good spirits alongside his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, with the couple also captured sharing a sweet moment with his older sister, Pauline.

Although he was in LA for the Oscars this weekend, Timothée was notably absent from the Dune: Part Three trailer launch at AMC Century City on Monday 16th March, the day after the Academy Awards. While he didn't attend the launch in person, Timothée did share a message for fans via a pre-recorded video message. He said (per People): "After two impactful films with an in-development process that started in the [mid-2010s], a production process that started in 2018 and over 150 production days across the three films at large, today we are debuting the trailer to Dune: Part Three. This film would not exist without the master of cinema, the great artist that is Denis Villeneuve."

He also added: "I'm not alone in saying thank you to Denis for his dedication in bringing the Dune films to life and now the Dune trilogy to life. I hope you enjoy this first sneak peek at Dune: Part Three."

According to multiple outlets, a representative for Timothée did not comment on his absence. However, it's worth noting that - despite increasing online speculation - he wasn't the franchise's only missing star. Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy and Javier Bardem did appear on the panel alongside director Denis Villeneuve, but several of the film's cast also didn't attend, including Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Rebecca Ferguson and Lea Seydoux.

Dune: Part Three is set for UK release on 18th December 2026.

The royal family has often used fashion as a way to subtly communicate a message. The late Queen Elizabeth II was known for her bright ensembles, but experts regularly claimed that beneath the vivid hues she regularly used her outfits to show support for causes, send messages of hope, or to signal change.

Since joining the royal family, the Princess of Wales has seemingly followed suit by including subtle nods in her outfits. Not only did she include a secret message in her wedding dress, but Princess Kate also uses colour to communicate a feeling to the public, according to insiders.

During the Nigerian state visit this week, it appeared that Princess Kate was signalling that she is preparing for her future role as Queen. At the event on Wednesday 18th March, held at Windsor Castle, Kate joined King Charles, Queen Camilla and her husband, Prince William, as the family welcomed Nigeria's President and First Lady. Notably, the Princess of Wales wore one of her favourite accessories: the Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara.

According to royal commentator Amanda Matta, Kate's decision to wear the Lover's Knot is a subtle but significant nod to how she's preparing for her future role as Queen. She told Fox News Digital: "Kate’s tiara choices tend to prioritize messages of continuity, usually indicating that she’s taking up the legacy of royal women who came before her."

Often considered a tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, the tiara was not seen for several years after Diana's death in 1997. Then, in 2015, Princess Kate wore the historic royal headpiece in public for the first time. Since then, she has only worn the tiara on a handful of occasions, including a State Banquet in 2018 to welcome the King and Queen of the Netherlands, a Diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace in 2016, and a State Banquet for President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2022.

The Lover's Knot Tiara is one of the most famous in the world. Initially commissioned in 1913 for Queen Mary, it features ornate diamond detailing alongside nineteen hanging pearl embellishments. It is currently estimated to be worth £1,000,000. It was eventually passed on to Queen Elizabeth II, who often loaned it to Princess Diana.

Zendaya appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night to promote her new movie The Drama, and, naturally, the conversation turned to her rumoured 'secret wedding' to longterm partner, Tom Holland. Speculation that the pair privately eloped has been mounting in recent weeks following an offhand comment made by Zendaya's stylist and close friend, Law Roach. When a red carpet reporter at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards asked him about the pair's wedding plans, he replied: "The wedding has already happened. You missed it."

Since then, the Challengers star has been spotted wearing what appears to be a thin gold band alongside her beautiful five carat engagement ring. Amid the growing buzz, Zendaya addressed the wedding speculation during her interview with Jimmy Kimmel. The host began: "I'm sure you know the Internet has gone berserk with stories that you might actually be married to Tom."

She joked: "Really? I haven’t seen any of them."

Kimmel then went on to discuss the stream of AI wedding photos that have circulated on social media, depicting Zendaya and Tom's supposed wedding. She responded: "Many people have been fooled by them. While I was just out and about in real life, people were like, 'Oh my God, your wedding photos are gorgeous,' and I was like, 'Babe, they’re AI. They’re not real.'"

The actress went on to say that those close to her were annoyed that they weren't invited, and she wanted to 'clear the confusion' with a special video. What played was a snippet from Zendaya's upcoming film, a scene where she's taking wedding day photos with her co-star, Robert Pattinson. But, in a funny twist, Tom Holland's head was - rather obviously - pasted over Pattison's.

Although she joked to Kimmel that it was a 'really beautiful day' and that it was 'real footage', fans noted that, technically, she didn't actually confirm or deny the wedding rumours.

The couple have a unique approach when it comes to sharing their private lives with fans; following their engagement, Zendaya simply started wearing her gorgeous east-west diamond ring without any big announcement or statement. In an interview with Hollywood Reporter in July 2023, Tom shared: "Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible. We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."

The Beckham family's relationship with the Peltz Beckhams has dominated the headlines in 2026, with Brooklyn speaking out against his family in a shock statement in January.

"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Victoria and David's eldest son posted to Instagram after months of speculation around a family fallout.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family," he continued. "I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

The 27-year-old's social media statement went on to accuse his parents of "trying endlessly to ruin [his] relationship" with Nicola Peltz, alleging that his "wife has been consistently disrespected by [his] family."

"The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," Brooklyn's explosive statement continued. "I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life.

"I grew up with overwhelming anxiety," he added. "For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief."

Multiple members of the Beckham family have reached out in the months since, with Victoria, David, Romeo, Cruz and Harper all extending social media olive branches to Brooklyn.

Not to mention, family friends have also appeared to reach out, with Brooklyn and Nicola attending a party hosted by the Beckhams' close friend Elton John this weekend.

John famously hosts an annual Oscars party, with his AIDS Foundation’s 34th Annual Academy Awards viewing party taking place on Sunday. And among the A-list attendees was his godson Brooklyn, with the Peltz Beckhams photographed together on the red carpet and inside the event.

The 'Your Song' singer was later seen sitting with the Peltz Beckhams at the party, with the trio appearing deep in discussion. And with the photographs surfacing online, fans were quick to theorise that John was trying to build bridges.

This comes after close friend of the family Gordon Ramsay confirmed that he had also been in touch with Brooklyn about the situation, speaking out about the subject to The Sun.

"I love him, his heart is incredible, but it’s hard, isn’t it?," Ramsay explained to the publication. "I think when you’re infatuated, you know, love is blind.

"They say it for that reason, and so, you know, he’s desperate to stand on his own two feet," he continued. "He’s desperate to forge his own way. And I respect that from Brooklyn, and that’s such a good thing to do.

"But remember where you came from, and honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that."

Neither the Beckham family nor Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham have commented further on the situation.

Last night saw the 2026 Oscars, with the 98th Academy Awards taking place at LA's Dolby Theatre, hosted this year by Conan O'Brien.

And from the major wins of the evening, seeing a surprise triumph for Michael B. Jordan and a historic victory for Jessie Buckley, to Anna Wintour's The Devil Wears Prada joke and a viral Bridesmaids reunion, the ceremony made non-stop headlines.

It was Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner who were particularly front and centre at the Academy Awards, with the Marty Supreme star and beauty founder sitting front row.

And while Chalamet missed out on a win in the Best Actor category, he was still one of the most talked-about attendees of the evening, with his appearance coming after his controversial comments that "nobody cares" about opera and ballet.

Conan O'Brien was quick to make a joke about Chalamet's comment and its monumental backlash in his opening monologue, quipping that "security [was] tight" as "there [had been] concerns about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities."

He later added, in an aside to Chalamet: “They’re just mad you left out jazz.”

The actor, 30, had plenty of support during the ceremony, sitting next to Jenner, his partner of three years, and in front of good friend and former co-star Elle Fanning, with the trio interacting throughout the evening.

Also in attendance was Chalamet's older sister, Pauline Chalamet, with the 34-year-old actress spotted embracing her brother in one of the show's intervals, before sharing a sweet moment with Jenner.

The video of Jenner and Chalamet's sister greeting each other warmly has of course gone viral, with followers heartened to see how close the two women appeared.

And given the fact that little is still known about the A-list couple's notoriously private relationship, fans have taken the positive exchange as approval from Chalamet's family.

"[Timothée] has come to almost every screening of a short film I’ve written or directed or acted in," Pauline has previously explained in support of her brother, telling Vanity Fair that she is "in awe of" his work.

"It has nothing to do with either of us," she recalled of his stratospheric success. "He didn’t choose that. I didn’t choose him as a brother, he didn’t choose me as a sister, so it feels normal. But because it doesn’t impact our lives at all, it doesn’t impact our relationship."

We will continue to update this story.

Last night saw the 2026 Oscars, with A-listers gathering from far and wide to celebrate the 98th Academy Awards, taking place this year at LA's Dolby Theatre.

The ceremony, hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien, was one for the ages, featuring surprise wins for Michael B. Jordan and Amy Madigan, and a historic victory for Jessie Buckley.

It was the surprise reunions of the night that made the most headlines however, with the event seeing a Moulin Rouge duet from Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor, as well as an on-stage Bridesmaids cast reunion, 15 years after the film's release.

The climax then came from The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway and Vogue editorial director Anna Wintour, who joined forces to co-present the Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling.

Wintour, 76, is widely believed to be the inspiration behind Meryl Streep's infamous character, Miranda Priestly, in The Devil Wears Prada, with the highly-anticipated sequel set for release in May.

And during her time on stage, Wintour was quick to reference the film, cracking two surprise jokes about The Devil Wears Prada to the delight of the audience.

"Whether it’s two distinct jewel-toned hats, a meticulously crafted headdress, a simple pair of semi-rimless eyeglasses, complex and dramatic pieces that bring to life a Gothic classic, or watching red turn rust in 16th century England, a character’s costume is key to telling a story," Hathaway began, while presenting the Best Costume Design category, with the award later going to Frankenstein's Kate Hawley.

"One could argue that one’s wardrobe in real life is also key," she continued. "Does it make one appear elegant and attractive on, say, the most important night in Hollywood, and say when the most important people in fashion will be judging how one looks?"

"Anna, just curious, what do you think of my dress tonight?," she added, to which Wintour - famous for her wit, responded by putting on her signature sunglasses and stating, "And the nominees are...".

Then, when presenting the Best Makeup and Hairstyling Category, also won by Frankenstein, Hathaway asked Wintour if she wanted to "read the nominees".

And in a hilarious dig, Wintour responded: "Thank you, Emily" - a reference to Hathaway's The Devil Wears Prada character Andy Sachs, whose editor-in-chief always mistakes her for fellow assistant Emily [Emily Blunt].

Well, this is hilarious.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for UK release on Friday 1 May 2026.

As the 2026 Oscars wraps up for another year, all eyes have been on the famous faces that line the seats in the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The 98th Academy Awards saw the likes Amy Madigan pick up the Best Supporting Actress for her performance inWeapons, while Sean Penn won the Best Supporting Actor statuette - although he wasn't actually there to pick it up. Despite going viral earlier this year for smoking at the Golden Globes, he missed the Oscars with The New York Times reporting that he had "headed to Europe" instead.

Another A-lister that was notably missing was Margot Robbie. Despite the recent success of Wuthering Heights, which she both starred in and produced, Margot wasn't spotted on the 2026 Oscars red carpet and was also absent from the auditorium. So why wasn't Margot at the Academy Awards this year?

The last time Margot attended the Oscars was in 2024, when Barbie was nominated for Best Picture - although, controversially, its director Greta Gerwig was snubbed from the Best Director category. Additionally, Margot wasn't nominated for Best Actress, but Ryan Gosling was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor award.

Two years later, Margot has taken a break from acting and is now a mum to her one year-old baby boy, returning to the screen only recently to play Cathy in Wuthering Heights. There could be several reasons why she didn't attend the Oscars this year - she wasn't presenting any Academy Awards, she had no nominations or affiliation to nominated films, and she has only just finished the busy Wuthering Heights press tour.

Back in September, she opened up about motherhood in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She said: "It’s funny. If you try to explain it to someone who has kids, you don’t need to because they get it. And if they don’t, it’s probably just really boring to hear. So, you’re just kind of like, 'It’s the best.'"

Perhaps she'll be back next year if Wuthering Heights is nominated at the 2027 Oscars!

Leonardo DiCaprio has once again made Hollywood history, officially adding another name to his line of high-profile Oscars dates. This year, it’s Italian supermodel Vittoria Ceretti, who has captured the spotlight alongside the actor (though they forwent walking the red carpet together) for the first time at Hollywood’s biggest night.

DiCaprio, 51, and Ceretti, 27, are believed to have begun dating in August 2023, when they were first seen together in Santa Barbara, California. Since then, they’ve kept things relatively low-key (as is DiCaprio’s signature), only appearing together at a handful of events, making this Oscars outing their red carpet debut as a couple.

Ceretti, an icon of the runway who has walked for the likes of Versace, Dior, Celine, and Louis Vuitton, also addressed the media attention that comes with dating a mega‑star in an April 2025 Vogue France cover story. She explained how frustrating it can be to be labelled “someone’s girlfriend,” but said that love gives her the confidence to shrug off outside noise. As with so many of DiCaprio’s high-profile relationships, the public is left piecing together clues from scraps of information.

From Gisele Bündchen to Toni Garrn, there are only a handful of supermodels, actresses, and fashion icons who have accompanied him to the awards night. The couple has skipped other major awards shows; DiCaprio attended the 2026 Golden Globes alone.

While DiCaprio still keeps much of his personal life under wraps, Ceretti proved she can hold her own on the red carpet, bringing runway poise and undeniable glamour to a time-honoured Oscars tradition. Here, we look back at some of DiCaprio’s Oscar dates throughout the years.

Amy Madigan just won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Weapons—a cool 40 years after her first nomination for Twice in a Lifetime. That’s officially the longest gap between acting nods for a woman, turning her win into a full-circle Hollywood moment, the kind usually reserved for Hallmark movies. It’s also the kind of story that reminds us how rare it is to sustain a career this long. The best things come to those who wait, and all.

Madigan has spent decades building a career that’s iconic, yes, but also understated. She’s the type of actor you recognise immediately, even if you can’t always place her name, appearing in classics, cult favourites, and unforgettable supporting roles, like the eerie Aunt Gladys in Weapons, which earned her this long-awaited Oscar.

In an industry obsessed with youth, Madigan shows us what longevity looks like: a career that spans decades, genres, and generations of audiences. At 74, she’s thriving in Hollywood on her own terms, showing that—contrary to Hollywood lore—talent, relevance, and style don’t expire with age.

Her 2026 Oscars look, a Dior suit scattered with feather paillettes and topped off with tinted glasses, was further proof that elegance, experimentation, and personal style aren’t bound by age. It also serves as a reminder that fashion, like talent, can evolve over decades, and that women in their 70s can still define what it means to be stylish, confident, and unapologetically themselves.

Here, we look back at Amy Madigan’s red carpet appearances through the ages.

Amy Madigan’s Red Carpet Appearances Through the Ages

The 2026 Oscars is well underway, and the biggest celebrities in Hollywood have gathered at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the very best in the industry. While all the nominees will be going home with a seriously luxurious goodie bag, the winners have already included some of the biggest films of the last year, including KPop Demon Hunters, Frankenstein and Weapons.

But one of the biggest talking points in the run up to the 2026 Oscars has been Timothée Chalamet - whether it's for his commitment to the Marty Supreme press tour, his Golden Globes shoutout to Kylie Jenner, or his head-to-head with Michael B Jordan for the Best Actor statuette.

However, last week Timothée found himself in hot water for his controversial comments about ballet and opera. And, as soon as the Academy Awards kicked off tonight, host Conan O'Brien addressed the backlash - and made a less than subtle reference to the viral interview. Within minutes of the show starting, the Oscars host said to the room: "I'm told there’s concern about attacks from both the opera and ballet communities. They’re just mad you left out jazz."

Taking the early jibe in his stride, the Marty Supreme actor was caught on camera immediately after, laughing along with his partner and Oscars date, Kylie.

In case you missed it, a clip of Timothée discussing his work went viral last week. In the chat with his Interstellar co-star Matthew McConaughey during a CNN and Variety town hall last month, he said: "I admire people, and I've done it myself, who go on a talk show and say, 'Hey, we've got to keep movie theatres alive, we've gotta keep this genre alive."

He added: "And another part of me feels like if people want to see it, like Barbie, like Oppenheimer, they're going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it. I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore.'"

Sensing his comments may not at landed, he said: "All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there. I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason."

The Oscars is currently live in the UK on ITV 1.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is officially on its way, with the comedy-drama hitting cinemas this May, almost 20 years after the original.

And with the long-awaited trailer released this weekend, the highly-anticipated sequel is dominating the headlines.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 will see Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to their beloved roles, following Andy Sachs [Hathaway] as she returns to Runway magazine.

Now features editor, Sachs will be reunited with editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly [Streep], creative director Nigel Kipling [Tucci] and former assistant turned executive Emily Charlton [Blunt], as they help the magazine fight for survival amid the decline of print media.

And joining them in the sequel will be a star-studded cast list, from Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux to Sydney Sweeney, Pauline Chalamet and Kenneth Branagh.

However, there is one original cast member who won't be returning for the sequel, with Andy Sachs' boyfriend Nate, played by Adrian Grenier, not part of the story in The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Grenier spoke out about the situation this weekend, releasing his first official public response to the film's casting to Page Six.

"We’re all fans of the movie, whether or not we were in it," Grenier explained to the publication. "Obviously, it was a disappointment that I didn’t get the call to be in the sequel. But I also understand there was some backlash with Nate, the character, so that might have something to do with it.”

"Either way, it’s a disappointment," he continued. "And either way, it leaves room for a beautiful spinoff in which Nate has his own film."

Nate's character received a lot of backlash after the original film, with viewers accusing him of being the "true villain" of The Devil Wears Prada.

This is something Grenier has previously addressed, recalling his surprise at the reaction in a 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly.

"I didn’t see some of the subtleties and the nuance of this character and what it represented in the film until the wisdom of the masses came online and started to push against the character and throw him under the bus, and I got flak," Grenier recalled.

"I might’ve been as immature as him at the time, so I personally couldn’t see his shortcomings. But after time to reflect and much deliberation, I’ve come to realize the truth in that perspective."

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for UK release on 1 May 2026.

• Kylie Jenner has spoken publicly about wanting more children, amid her romance with Timothée Chalamet.
• "In the last years of my 20s, I want to focus on just me, my businesses, my work, traveling with my kids, enjoying my kids," Jenner told Vanity Fair this week. "And then…I do want to have more kids."
• Jenner shares daughter Stormi, 8, and son Aire, 4, with ex Travis Scott.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet continue to make headlines, with the beauty founder, 28, and the Marty Supreme actor, 30, dating since April 2023.

The A-list couple is known to be notoriously private about their three year relationship, only stepping out and speaking about each other in public on very few occasions.

However, with Chalamet being an award season frontrunner, taking home a Golden Globe Award in January, and tipped for Oscar glory this weekend, the A-list couple has been front and centre in 2026.

"To my partner of three years, thank you for our foundation," Chalamet told Jenner during his on-stage acceptance speech at the Golden Globes. "I love you, I couldn't do this without you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."

While the A-list couple has made multiple public appearances over the past few months, it is their life behind the scenes that garners the most interest, particularly as their relationship gets more serious.

That was especially true this week, as Jenner spoke out about wanting to grow her family, amid her romance with Chalamet.

Jenner is already a mother of two, sharing eight-year-old daughter Stormi and four-year-old son Aire with her ex Travis Scott. However, in a recent interview with Vanity Fair, she revealed that she would like more children down the line.

"In the last years of my 20s, I want to focus on just me, my businesses, my work, traveling with my kids [and] enjoying my kids," Jenner explained. "And then…I do want to have more kids.”

This comes after Chalamet's 2025 comments in Vogue when asked about fatherhood, responding: "That could be on the radar.”

"[Chalamet is] so great" with Jenner's children, a source has previously told Entertainment Tonight, via Buzzfeed, adding that the cosmetics founder has even "told her closest friends that she would love to have another baby with him someday."

Jenner “wants kids with Timothée" and Chalamet "100 percent wants to be a dad" another source recently reported via Globe. "Kylie has no doubt that he’ll be an incredible dad."

Well, this is exciting.

• Zendaya appeared to confirm reports that she had married partner Tom Holland during the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards.
• The Euphoria star reportedly accepted well wishes from fellow attendees and smiled at fans who called her Mrs Holland on the red carpet.
• The couple, who are believed to have secretly tied the knot earlier this year, have not spoken publicly about the speculation.

Zendaya and Tom Holland are one of the most talked-about couples in the world, with the A-listers dating since 2021, after meeting on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

However, despite the buzz around them, the Hollywood couple is notoriously private, with both Zendaya and Tom choosing to keep their personal lives under wraps.

"Our relationship is something that we are incredibly protective of and we want to keep as sacred as possible," Holland has previously explained to the Hollywood Reporter in July 2023. "We don’t think that we owe it to anyone, it’s our thing, and it has nothing to do with our careers."

The couple's boundaries on privacy have even extended to major relationship milestones, with the couple believed to have got engaged in late 2024, with the Euphoria star seen wearing a diamond engagement ring ever since.

And while fans have been eagerly awaiting their highly-anticipated wedding, it was recently reported that the A-list couple, both 29, had in fact already tied the knot in secret.

The news first broke after Zendaya's longtime stylist, Law Roach, was asked about the upcoming nuptials on the red carpet of the 2026 SAG Actor Awards earlier this month.

"The wedding has already happened," Roach revealed to Access Hollywood. "You missed it."

And in the weeks since, the Challengers star has been seen wearing a gold band on her ring finger.

Tom and Zendaya have both remained silent about the reports of their marriage. However, fans are convinced that the Dune star actually confirmed the rumours during a recent red carpet appearance.

While attending the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards earlier this week, Zendaya was called "Mrs Holland" on the red carpet, with the actress smiling in response.

And according to a source via PEOPLE, she was overheard accepting congratulations and well wishes from multiple attendees during the Awards.

This reportedly included a public acknowledgement, when host Marsai Martin asked the star to "just give a little nod or signal" when she should send her a wedding present, while presenting on-stage.

Zendaya reportedly laughed at Martin's joke and covered her face with her hands, revealing her wedding ring to applause from the audience.

Zendaya and Tom Holland have not yet publicly spoken about the speculation.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is already the most talked-about film of 2026, with the highly-anticipated sequel dominating the headlines.

The comedy-drama will hit cinemas this May, almost 20 years after the release of the original The Devil Wears Prada, seeing Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to their beloved roles. And from the first look photographs to casting announcements, updates around the project have been going viral.

This week saw the release of the long-awaited trailer for The Devil Wears Prada 2. And coming after multiple teasers, the new full-length video unveiled some major details for what's in store.

The sequel reportedly follows Andy Sachs [Hathaway] as she returns to Runway magazine, working once more for editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly [Streep] and creative director Nigel Kipling [Tucci].

In her new role as Features Editor, Sachs must help the magazine fight for survival amid the decline of print media, navigating the ever-changing magazine landscape.

This, according to sources, will see Sachs, Priestly and Kipling forced to work with former assistant Emily Charlton (Blunt), now a high-powered executive.

The already-viral trailer has sparked the most headlines around casting, revealing multiple A-list additions to the sequel's line-up.

And from Kenneth Branagh, Lucy Liu and Justin Theroux to Sydney Sweeney, Pauline Chalamet and B. J. Novak, The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to be truly star-studded.

Fans were most surprised, however, by a very famous trailer cameo from Simone Ashley, with the Bridgerton star set to play a major role in the sequel.

And with the video teaser appearing to confirm reports, fans took to the comment section to celebrate the 30-year-old's involvement in the project.

"Simone Ashley??? OMG!!! I'm so excited," commented one fan, while another asked 20th Century Studios for "more Simone Ashley crumbs!"

"Can't wait for the big 4 and my love Simone Ashley," added a separate fan, while others posted references to her Bridgerton role, commenting "Viscountess!" and "Simone!!!!!!!! Our viscountess is here!!!!"

This comes after speculation that Ashley was involved in The Devil Wears Prada 2, with the actress spotted filming in Milan with Streep and Tucci, with the trio attending fashion week together last year.

Little is known yet about Ashley's role in the project, but given her trailer cameo in what looks like an editorial meeting, she is widely believed to be part of the Runway Magazine team.

Well, this is exciting.

We will continue to update this story.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set for UK release on 1 May 2026.

Long before her box office success with 'Wuthering Heights', director Emerald Fennell dominated headlines following the release of her controversial thriller-comedy, Saltburn. Although the film, which stars Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan, was largely slated by critics, it found a huge fanbase on social media where many of the key moments were meme-ified and thoroughly dissected - from the shocking grave scene, to the hidden meaning behind the awkward, eggy breakfast.

But, if there's one scene that everyone will recognise from Saltburn, it's Barry Keoghan lapping up Jacob Elordi's bathwater. In fact, it became such a cultural moment that Etsy candles were made in the substance's honour. Although Barry didn't share details about it at the time, production designer Suzie Davies told Business Insider about how she created the concoction that Barry is seen slurping in the now iconic scene. In the interview in 2024, she stated that the solution used to act as Felix Catton's semen-infused bathwater was 'yoghurt and a bit of milk and some water'.

Now, Barry has finally confirmed that he was indeed sipping on a dairy-heavy mixture during an appearance on Hits Radio Breakfast. Although he was there to discuss his role in the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, when host Will Best joked that he'd watched the film in the bath to get the full 'Barry Keoghan experience', Barry confirmed what was actually in the bath during the Saltburn scene, replying: "Just lovely milk by the way, it was just full fat milk."

At the time of the film's release, Suzie Davies also added that Barry was so committed to getting the scene right that he 'did it four times'. She explained: "[He] really went for it. Every one he did was a different kind of slurp. Often, when you film things like that, there are 20 people in the room. It’s quite tense. But the cast can bring something that’s so extraordinary that you can hear a pin drop. So when Barry was doing his stuff, it was amazing. He had no inhibitions."

Well, the more you know.

Awards season is officially reaching its peak, with the highly-anticipated 2026 Oscars taking place later this week.

The 98th annual ceremony will be held this year at LA's Dolby Theatre on Sunday 15 March, hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien and presented by a series of A-list names. We're talking Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Hathaway, Will Arnett, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Paul Mescal to name just a few.

And from the star-studded Academy Award nominees and predictions (ahem Jessie Buckley and Timothée Chalamet) to the red carpet preparation, the 98th annual ceremony is dominating the headlines.

The Beckham family has been front and centre this week, reaching out to estranged son Brooklyn with multiple social media olive branches over his birthday.

The Cloud 23 founder turned 27 on Wednesday, with parents David and Victoria and younger brother Romeo among those to post social media tributes.

"Happy Birthday Bust. Love you x," David Beckham posted to his Instagram Stories, captioning a series of photographs with his oldest son. "Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn. I love you so much," added Victoria Beckham, posting throwback photographs with Brooklyn.

The social media tributes come after months of drama, with Brooklyn posting an explosive statement to Instagram in January, confirming a fallout with his family.

"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," he wrote in a six-page statement.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

"The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," Brooklyn continued, alleging that his wife Nicola Peltz had "been consistently disrespected" by his family. "I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life."

"I grew up with overwhelming anxiety," his statement concluded. "For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief."

Brooklyn hasn't spoken publicly about the situation since his bombshell statement, but sources weighed in on his alleged reaction to the birthday olive branches this week.

"Brooklyn ignored David’s attempt at getting his attention with that birthday post," a source recently reported to Us Weekly. "He thinks it’s just another way for them to save face with the public and that it did not feel meaningful.

"He is still keeping his distance and is not in touch with his parents," the source continued. "They are trying, but Brooklyn has ignored their attempts.”

"Brooklyn and Nicola are disheartened [the Beckham family] chose to make public Instagram posts for his birthday," another source allegedly reported to Entertainment Tonight.

"These are the exact type of performative public actions that Brooklyn has been trying to put an end to, to no avail. Last summer, they issued a legal letter to his parents requesting that any correspondence go through lawyers."

• Timothée Chalamet has come under fire for his controversial statement about the arts.
• "I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore,'" the 30-year-old explained at a recent CNN and Variety town hall.
• "All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there," he added after his controversial comment. "I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason."

Timothée Chalamet has been front and centre in 2026. And from his award season success, tipped for an Academy Award win for his role in Marty Supreme, to his relationship with Kylie Jenner, the Dune actor continues to make headlines.

It was a controversial comment that got the world talking about Chalamet this weekend, as the actor received criticism for his words about the arts, with a video clip from February resurfacing online.

"I admire people, and I've done it myself, who go on a talk show and say, 'Hey, we've got to keep movie theaters alive, we've gotta keep this genre alive,'" Chalamet told his Interstellar co-star Matthew McConaughey during a recent CNN and Variety town hall last month.

"And another part of me feels like if people want to see it, like Barbie, like Oppenheimer, they're going to go see it and go out of their way to be loud and proud about it.

"I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, 'Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this anymore'," Chalamet continued in a controversial remark.

"All respect to all the ballet and opera people out there," Chalamet added, noting: "I just lost 14 cents in viewership. I just took shots for no reason."

Chalamet's words about ballet and opera have prompted mass criticism, with numerous professionals from the arts speaking out against the comment.

Among them was The Royal Ballet and Opera, who released a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Ballet and opera have never existed in isolation — they have continually informed, inspired, and elevated other art forms," read the statement. "Their influence can be felt across theatre, film, contemporary music, fashion, and beyond. For centuries, these disciplines have shaped the way artists create and audiences experience culture, and today millions of people around the world continue to enjoy and engage with them."

Harry Styles has been front and centre this weekend, with the 32-year-old releasing his highly-anticipated new album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, on Friday.

The long-awaited project features 12 new songs, including American Girls, Ready, Steady, Go!, Are You Listening Yet?, Taste Back, The Waiting Game, Season 2 Weight Loss, Coming Up Roses, Pop, Dance No More and Paint by Numbers.

However, it was the album’s final track, Carla’s Song, that got the world talking the most, with Styles’ beautiful lyrics leading fans to speculate about Carla’s identity.

“Through your eyes, in awe, melodies like the tide. It's all waiting there for you. It's all waiting there for you,” reads part of the lyrics. "I know what you like, I know what you'll really like."

“Ignorance or innocence. Call it what you wanna. You've been a baby sleeping upon a candy bar. Till your eyes open on the changing summer light.”

With fans eager to know the identity of the Carla in question, and the nature of her relationship to Styles, Zane Lowe was quick to bring up the topic during their Apple Music interview. And according to Styles, Carla is a close friend.

“Carla kind of just became, in so many ways, the most important part of the record to me,” Styles explained to Lowe, recalling that it had “answered so many questions” about why he makes music.

“There was a time when you heard a song for the first time that made you want to touch music, in some way,” he continued, explaining that the song was inspired by the moment that he introduced his friend Carla to Paul Simon’s music, playing her the song Bridge Over Troubled Water for the first time.

He also introduced her to Kathy’s Song by Simon and Garfunkel with the title inspiring the name of his own track, Carla’s Song.

“Watching her listen to [Bridge Over Troubled Water], having never heard that song, felt like I was just watching someone see or something, or like discover magic,” Styles recalled. “There was something in that moment that reminded me of, by making music, what you’re investing in, and it’s songs that go so beyond our lifetime.

“Maybe someone hears a song of yours and goes, ‘This song’s going to be in my life forever.’ That is kind of it. Like, that is enough. And I don’t ask for any more than that, really.”

Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally by Harry Styles is out now.

Colleen Hoover adaptation It Ends With Us has been surrounded by controversy since its 2024 release, with producer Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni involved in an ongoing legal battle.

Lively, 38, accused her director and co-star of sexual harassment on set, and for allegedly coordinating a smear campaign against her. Baldoni, 42, denied the allegations, responding with legal action of his own, however his $400 million countersuit has since been dismissed.

With a trial for Lively v Wayfarer Studios set for May 2026, It Ends With Us is more talked-about than ever. And the film and original novel have become synonymous with the ongoing scandal.

"The book was inspired by [my mother's] story, and now it gives us PTSD to think about it," Hoover explained last year, breaking her silence on the situation in an interview with ELLE. "I feel awful because I almost feel like she’s gone through more with the aftermath of this film, more pain than she went through with my dad, just seeing the ugliness of it.

"I can’t even recommend it anymore," she continued. "I feel like [the lawsuit] has overshadowed it. I’m almost embarrassed to say I wrote it.

"It feels like a circus when there are real people involved, with real feelings and emotions," Hoover added. "This actually truly has impacted some of the actors’ careers in huge ways. And I just find it all around sad."

However, months later, Hoover has spoken out again, explaining how she has now separated her 2016 book from the ongoing court case.

Hoover's rare statement came during a recent episode of Jenna Bush Hager's 'Open Book' podcast, when the host asked her whether it was hard to have one of her "cherished" works wrapped up in scandal.

"You know, it is, but it's getting easier to separate it," Hoover responded. "Because I do look at the success of it. We just were all so shocked at how much readers showed up for it and how well it did and how much it resonated.

"Like, I am so proud of that movie," she continued. "I think the actors, the director, everyone did such a good job making it that, you know, I have to look at everything else separate from the film, from the book."

"[It's] unfortunate," Hoover added of the ongoing drama. "[But] I am still just very much grateful that we got to see it come to life. And for me, I'm very proud of that film."

The Beckham family's relationship with the Peltz Beckhams continues to make headlines, with Victoria and David's eldest son speaking out in an explosive statement in January.

"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Brooklyn, 27, wrote in a six-page statement, posted to Instagram.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

Brooklyn's shock statement appeared to confirm years of speculated tensions, with the Cloud 23 founder alleging that his wife Nicola Peltz had "been consistently disrespected by [his] family."

"The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," Brooklyn's statement continued. "I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life."

"Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders," Brooklyn alleged, reporting that his brothers Romeo and Cruz had later become involved in the situation.

"Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer."

"I grew up with overwhelming anxiety," his statement concluded. "For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief."

Multiple members of the Beckham family have extended public olive branches to Brooklyn over the last two months, with Harper posting a tribute to her brother on Valentine's Day, and David, Victoria and Romeo celebrating Brooklyn's 27th birthday with sweet social media tributes earlier this week.

However, it was Cruz who officially commented, with the 21-year-old singer recently confirming that he wanted to reconcile with his brother.

The musician is currently touring with his band, Cruz Beckham & The Breakers. And while speaking to TMZ on Wednesday, he was asked whether it was possible for the Beckham family to repair their relationship with Brooklyn. And in a three-word response, Cruz confirmed: "I hope to."

This comes after Cruz extended an olive branch of his own, posting a black and white throwback photograph with Brooklyn and Romeo to Instagram.

"This is how you say indirectly: "I miss my older brother," posted one fan. "Somebody's giving out the olive branch, and we are all here for it," read another.

The rest of the Beckham family has not commented further on the situation.

The 2026 Screen Actors Guild Awards gathered A-listers across film and television to celebrate the past year on screen this weekend. And from the ceremony's big winners to the star-studded SAGs red carpet, the Awards continue to make headlines.

It was a touching moment during the 32nd annual ceremony that went particularly viral, as Catherine O'Hara posthumously won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series.

The legendary actress, famed for her roles in Beetlejuice, Schitt's Creek and Home Alone, was confirmed to have died in January, aged 71.

And following her posthumous SAG Awards win for her role in The Studio, the show's creator Seth Rogen paid an emotional tribute to the late comedic star.

"I was asked to assume the very sad honour of accepting this award on O’Hara’s behalf," Rogen announced as the audience gave a standing ovation. "I know she would have been honoured to receive this award from her fellow performers, who I know she respected so much, she was such big fans of all of yours.

"I, obviously, you know, have been reflecting on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her, working with her, and something that I’ve just been marvelling at over the last few weeks was really her ability to be generous and kind and gracious, while never, ever minimising her own talents - and her own ability to contribute to the work we were doing. She knew she could destroy and she wanted to destroy every day we were on set."

“I haven’t said this to the other actors because I didn’t want them to get ideas," he continued. "But pretty much every evening before she had a shooting day on our show, she would email me and Evan an email that always was pretty similar: ‘Hello, I hope you’ll consider the following.’ And then there would be a completely rewritten version of the scene she was in. And literally 100% of the time, it made not just her character better, but it made the scene better and the entire show better as a whole. And she really showed that you can be a genius and be kind, and one of those things does not have to come at the expense of the other in any way, shape, or form."

"So I guess, I’ll just leave you with this," Rogen concluded. "If you have people in your lives that don't know or work, if there are kids in your lives, or just people who are out of touch, or stupid or something, just show them O’Hara, dancing to Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice, show them O’Hara hurting her knee in Best in Show, doing that amazing thing where she hobbles around, and tell the people as they’re laughing, that that’s Catherine O’Hara, and we were lucky that we got to live in a world where she’s so [generously] shared her talents with us. Thank you."

Dua Lipa, singer, entrepreneur, actor, and Mermaid Barbie, played a new role last night: proud sister. Resplendent as ever in a structured corset gown and with best friend Sarah Lysander (and a trademark martini) in tow, she excitedly snapped and filmed her brother Gjin Lip as he worked the decks, dancing and hyping him up like the ultimate proud sister, before Groove Armada took over the booth.

Welcome to Hennessy and Warner Music Group’s 24 Hour Party Poodles, the most gloriously unhinged afters of this year’s BRIT Awards.

All Aboard the Party Express

Technically, the night began 200 miles away. Prior to the ceremony, artists and insiders, including Harris Dickinson, Nick Grimshaw, AJ Odudu, and Jaime Winstone (who belted out a rendition of Britpop hit You're Gorgeous mid-journey), gathered at Euston Station to board the legendary British Pullman. The art deco carriages, all polished walnut wood and plush upholstery, felt less like a train and more like a moving film set. In fact, the train has played host to many iconic films, and this year sees Baz Luhrmann unveil his bespoke decorated carriage on the historic train. Uniformed bellboys whisked guests into private cabins where flutes of Hennessy Paradis and icy Henny-Ritas appeared as if by magic.

Enter the Poodles

By the time the train pulled into Manchester, the tone had been set, and that booze-fuelled pandemonium continued post-awards show at The Cut & Craft, which had been transformed for the night. Looming at the entrance was a five-metre-tall poodle installation, a playful update on last year’s bejewelled bananas.

The theme, “Party Poodles,” riffed on the rebellious spirit of 24 Hour Party People and Manchester’s clubland mythology, blending archival nods to cultural icons and their dogs, from David Bowie to Winston Churchill, with glossy nightlife theatrics.

Inside, guests, including Rosé, who earlier that night had become the first K-pop artist to win a BRIT Award, danced on poodle-covered carpets while oversized inflatable sculptures floated overhead.

The Soundtrack of the Night

Upstairs, DJ sets rolled from G2 to Kim Turnbull before Gjin Lipa and Tommy Gold amped the energy to a fever pitch. Then came Groove Armada for a heady dose of nostalgia. Sequins sent spectrums of light across the room, glinting against the light of serving platters filled with bespoke Hennessy cocktails, including the Hennessy X.O Espresso Martini.

Downstairs, Manchester collective Suns of Acid, the next-gen offspring of 808 State and Happy Mondays, hosted a hedonistic basement club that paid homage to the city’s acid house roots. Fittingly, Bez was one of the last guests to leave, having traded his signature maracas for a gargantuan baker boy hat.

The Morning After

If most afterparties end in bleary-eyed goodbyes, this one came with a Sunday service. Guests reconvened aboard the British Pullman for the journey back to London, where a Sunday roast was served alongside Hennessy Ice Teas. Guests were overheard initially refusing the welcome Bloody Marys but were soon quaffing Champagne and signature Hennessy bevs. By the time London came back into view, the poodles had been defeated, but the mood hadn’t.

• Jack Whitehall has confirmed that Taylor Swift will not be attending Saturday's BRIT Awards after speculation around a potential surprise performance.
• "She will not be there," Whitehall told Fleur East on Hits Radio. "That sounded so unconvincing! But it’s true. She won’t be there."
• The BRIT Awards are taking place in Manchester this year, and are available to watch live on ITV's YouTube channel.

This weekend sees the 2026 BRIT Awards, with the 46th annual ceremony, hosted this year by comedian Jack Whitehall, taking place on Saturday in Manchester's Co-op Live arena.

And with A-listers from Lily Allen and Self Esteem to JADE and Olivia Dean receiving major nominations this year, the award show promises to be star-studded.

However, among the big names of the evening, there is one that has undoubtedly been the most talked-about, with the internet becoming convinced that Taylor Swift could be making a surprise appearance.

The Opalite singer is nominated in two categories at this year's awards, receiving nods in the 'International Artist of the Year' and the 'International Song of the Year' categories.

And after reports that the Life of a Showgirl singer's entourage was visiting Manchester earlier this week, it was rumoured that she might be making a special performance at Saturday's ceremony.

This theory went particularly viral after it was pointed out that Swift never included Manchester in her Eras tour line-up, with some fans believing that a surprise appearance at the BRITs may have always been on the cards.

And given her long history with the awards - receiving a Global Icon Award at the ceremony back in 2021, a surprise appearance wouldn't be so far-fetched.

Swift has not commented on the speculation, however host Jack Whitehall officially weighed in earlier this week, opening up about the situation in multiple interviews. And unfortunately for Swifties, she will not be in attendance.

"Look I’m not going to confirm if Taylor Swift is going to be there," he stated on Capital Breakfast. "That’s good journalism. I’m not falling into that trap."

"But yeah chasing your own adventure and every scenario you can, but the reason why people love the BRITs is because it is chaos and you cannot plan for everything and stuff does happen."

However, Whitehall did later confirm Swift's absence, stating on Hits Radio: "She will not be there. That sounded so unconvincing! But it’s true. She won’t be there."

Ryan Gosling has been front and centre this month, with the 45-year-old actor returning to screens in Project Hail Mary.

The highly-anticipated science fiction film is an adaptation of the bestselling book by Andy Weir, following science teacher Ryland Grace [Gosling], as he goes on a space mission to save the planet, teaming up with an alien called Rocky in the process.

It was Gosling's family however, that made the most headlines over his press tour. The actor shares two daughters, Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, nine, with partner Eva Mendes. And according to Gosling, he made Project Hail Mary for them.

"I made this for them essentially," Gosling explained in an interview with Access. "As a family, I’d like a movie like this that I’d like to see. I just feel really honoured that I got to make one."

Gosling and Mendes are known to be extremely private about their relationship and family life, rarely speaking about each other or their children in public.

But in a rare exception, Gosling went on to explain that his children played an important role in giving him feedback, describing them as the "only critics" that he cares about.

"My kids have seen multiple cuts," the Crazy, Stupid, Love actor recalled. "They give me multiple notes. They’re basically the only critics I care about, and they are very critical and very honest."

Mendes is also said to play an integral role, with Gosling telling Extra in 2024 that his partner is a major support behind the scenes.

"She is with the girls, and when she works, I stay home with the girls too," Gosling explained. "She's also like my acting coach. She has really become the best acting coach I have ever had. It's endless how she helps me."

This is not the first time that Gosling has spoken about his family's influence on his work. In fact, in 2024 the Barbie actor revealed that he has become more selective about roles since becoming a father, moving away from playing dark, edgy characters for the sake of his children.

"I don’t really take roles that are going to put me in some kind of dark place,” Gosling explained to WSJ Magazine. “This moment is what I feel like trying to read the room at home and feel like what is going to be best for all of us.”

He continued: “The decisions I make, I make them with [Eva Mendes] and we make them with our family in mind first.”

Well, this is lovely.

Project Hail Mary is set for release in UK cinemas on 20 March 2026.

Hilary Duff has spoken out about Ashley Tisdale's 'Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group' essay during her recent appearance on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast.

Tisdale, 40, penned the viral essay for The Cut in January, writing about how she felt as though she had "found a village" in her mum group. However after feeling "excluded" and "frozen out", she chose to leave, stating: "This is too high school for me, and I don’t want to take part in it anymore."

Tisdale's explosive essay went particularly viral because of the A-listers involved, with Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore and Meghan Trainor known to be among the women in the group.

And while the High School Musical star did not name names, the celebrities quickly became implicated in the unfolding media frenzy.

Duff, 38, chose not to respond publicly at the time. However, during her recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she officially broke her silence on the situation.

"I honestly felt really sad," the Lizzie McGuire star recalled of her reaction to Tisdale's open essay. "I was, like, pretty, pretty taken aback and felt just, like, sad."

"I have my core group of friends who have been my ride or dies for 20 years, 10 to 20 years, and I have tons of different groups of mom friends because I have four kids," she continued. "So I think I just was like, whoa, it sucks to read something that’s not true, and it sucks on behalf of six women in all of their lives.

"I think it came at the craziest time where I was like, the timing felt not great, and I felt used," she added.

Duff also commented on her husband Matthew Koma's response, with the singer-songwriter coming to his wife's defence in a viral post at the time.

Recreating Tisdale's cover of The Cut, Koma posted a shot of himself to Instagram alongside the caption: "A mom group tell all through a father’s eyes: When You’re the Most Self-Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers.”

"Honestly, everything he does makes me laugh. So I was like, ‘Oh my God. Oh my God,’" Duff recalled of Koma's post. "But I also don't censor him, and I don't tell him what he can and can't post. He is so, like, fierce for me, and, like, I love him for that."

Hilary Duff's full interview on Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper is available to watch now.

The Beckham family's relationship with the Peltz Beckhams has dominated the headlines in 2026, with Brooklyn, 26, speaking out in a shock statement in January.

"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Victoria and David's eldest son wrote in an explosive Instagram statement.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family," he later continued. "I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

Brooklyn's viral social media statement came after years of speculated tensions, accusing his parents of "trying endlessly to ruin [his] relationship" with Nicola Peltz, and alleging that she had "been consistently disrespected by [his] family."

"The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," Brooklyn's statement went on. "I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief."

Several members of the Beckham family have reached out in recent months, with Harper Beckham, 14, and Cruz Beckham, 20, appearing to extend subtle social media olive branches to their older brother.

However, according to sources, the Beckham family is reluctant to "reach out" on Brooklyn's 27th birthday, falling next month on March 4th.

The celebration will come just six weeks after Brooklyn's social media statement. And given his insistence on not wanting to reconcile, sources believe that the family will "leave any thoughts of a reunion up to him for now."

"David and Victoria are disappointed that they won’t even be in contact with Brooklyn for his birthday this year," a source recently told Metro.

"It feels so different to how they usually celebrate together as a family. They love doing big family dinners with all of the kids and showering them with love, not to mention the childhood photos and tributes they share on Instagram.

"There’s even a reluctance to reach out this year, which is devastating," the source continued. "Brooklyn made his feelings clear in his statement and it feels like it’s best to leave any thoughts of a reunion up to him for now."

Neither Victoria and David Beckham, nor Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham have commented on the reports.

• Stranger Things co-stars Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour reunited this week for her 22nd birthday in an intimate gathering.
• This comes after reports that the actress accused her co-star of alleged harassment and bullying during filming for season five.
• Millie Bobby Brown has never directly addressed the claims.

Millie Bobby Brown was front and centre this week, with the Stranger Things star celebrating her 22nd birthday.

The intimate gathering took place at Maison Close in New York's Soho district, with Brown's husband Jake Bongiovi, her mother and her grandparents in attendance.

There were also some close celebrity friends present, including actor Jamie Campbell Bower, filmmaker Shawn Levy and reality stars Whitney and Connor Leavitt.

Not to mention, her Stranger Things co-star, David Harbour, 50, with their surprise reunion going viral, coming after reports of harassment and bullying allegations on the Stranger Things set.

Brown and Harbour have co-starred in Stranger Things since 2016, playing protagonist Eleven [Jane Hopper] and her father, Jim Hopper, in all five of the show's seasons.

However, their working relationship was catapulted into the spotlight last year, after reports of bullying allegations surfaced online.

The alleged accusations were reportedly made against Harbour by Brown, with the actress allegedly filing a formal complaint before filming for season five began in 2024.

"Millie Bobby Brown filed a harassment and bullying claim before they started shooting the last season," read a report by The Mail On Sunday in November 2025. "There were pages and pages of accusations. The investigation went on for months.”

Neither Brown nor Harbour has commented publicly on the reports of the on-set allegations.

In fact, Brown spoke out about their "great" working relationship in December last year in a rare interview with Deadline.

"David and I have a great relationship," explained Brown in the run-up to Stranger Things' season five finale. "We work really closely together in the scenes and in preparing for the scenes.

"It makes me want to bring my A-game every single time I see that I’m on the call sheet with him because I know he’s bringing it right back."

"Of course I felt safe," she continued. "We’ve worked together for 10 years. I feel safe with everyone on that set.

"We also play father and daughter," she added. "So naturally, you have a closer bond than the rest, because we have had some really intense scenes together, especially in season two."

Sunday saw the 79th British Academy Film Awards, with A-listers from Kate Hudson to Paul Mescal descending on the BAFTAs red carpet to celebrate the past year in film.

And from the royal appearances to the night's big winners, the award ceremony made headlines from start to finish.

Among the most talked-about attendees of the night were Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, with the 30-year-old actor nominated for his leading role in sports drama Marty Supreme.

And with the notoriously private A-list couple attending the ceremony together, their award season appearance went viral online.

It was their red carpet non-appearance that made the most headlines however, with Chalamet arriving at the ceremony and posing for photographs solo.

Jenner seemingly chose not to walk the red carpet with her partner, arriving in secret through a different entrance and meeting Chalamet inside the Royal Festival Hall venue.

Fans were quick to question this decision, with many social media followers hoping for photographs of a joint red carpet appearance.

However, this is not uncommon for the celebrity couple, with Jenner often skipping red carpets with Chalamet for two important reasons.

Firstly, according to a report by The Mirror, Jenner doesn't want to steal the spotlight from Chalamet and his work, attending in a private capacity to support her boyfriend.

And secondly, the A-list couple is known to protect their privacy, with a source telling Grazia Daily that they choose not to walk red carpets together in order to keep their work separate from their private relationship.

"Kylie is determined to keep her love life private," a source has previously explained to The Daily Mail about the couple's move to protect their relationship.

"Theirs is a more private relationship in which they can be as normal a couple as is possible considering their levels of fame."

"I have to live my life," Jenner has added when asked about the media attention around her in an episode of The Kardashians. "I can’t live for whatever everyone else wants me to do. I just have to try to do what’s best for me every day.

"I know that fame has absolutely shaped me from experiencing these things since I was 9," she continued. "But I guess I also wouldn’t know who I would be today without growing up like this. I’m just navigating through life."

The BAFTAs is available to watch on BBC iPlayer and BBC One.

• Paul Mescal and Gracie Abrams just went red carpet official at the 2026 BAFTA Awards.
• The 'Normal People' star and 'Close to you' singer attended the ceremony together, where Mescal was nominated, and posed for photographs on the red carpet.
• The A-list couple has been together since 2023.

The 79th British Academy Film Awards are officially in full swing, with Hollywood stars and even the Prince and Princess of Wales taking to the BAFTAs red carpet at London's Royal Festival Hall.

Among them were A-listers Gracie Abrams and Paul Mescal, with the celebrity couple going viral as they made their official red carpet debut.

Abrams, 26, and Mescal, 29, have been dating since 2024. However, despite the buzz around them, the Normal People star and Close to you singer are notoriously private, rarely appearing together in public.

The BAFTAs therefore marked a major relationship milestone, with the A-list couple attending the ceremony together and posing for photographs on the red carpet for the first time.

Mescal was nominated in the supporting actor category at the 2026 BAFTAs, for his portrayal of William Shakespeare in Chloé Zhao's Hamnet.

And Abrams was there to support her partner of two years, with the Tough Love singer making a rare comment about Mescal and his film work earlier this year.

"I’ve found it nearly impossible to find the words to describe the weight of this film and the way it has remained in my bones since I saw it for the first time," Abrams wrote in a social media statement about Mescal's work in Hamnet.

"But we are sat in the kitchen right now and I am looking back on these pictures and got immediately teary, so I’m just going to say that Chloe is singular. Jessie is singular. Paul is singular. Also I love him - surprise."

Mescal has also spoken publicly about their relationship in recent months, describing their romance as "deeply precious" when asked about their decision to go Instagram official last year.

"The speculation has been kind of mad," Mescal has previously explained in an interview with GQ. "I'm not comfortable inviting any access into that part of my life. How I am in my private life is so precious to me because I get very little of it, and it might be public interest, but it's not public-obligated information."

It's believed that Gordon Ramsay may have caused tension in his relationship with the Beckham family after he waded in on David and Victoria's feud with son Brooklyn.

Following Brooklyn's explosive statement shared on Instagram last month, in which he made bold claims about his strained relationship with his parents and admitted he has no hope of reconciling with his family, Gordon had his own say on the situation.

The celebrity chef has long been a close friend of the Beckhams and revealed that he had been in contact with Brooklyn during the ongoing fallout, going on to urge the 26-year-old to "remember where he came from".

Brooklyn's shocking post alleged that his mother had cancelled making wife Nicola Peltz's wedding dress at the "eleventh hour" and even "danced inappropriately" on him at the wedding.

He also claimed that his parents tried to bribe him into "signing away the rights" to the Beckham name before he married Nicola. Brooklyn even reportedly went on to remove tattoo tributes to his family days after his statement was posted.

Responding to the family tensions, Gordon told The Sun, " I think it's going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.

"He's desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It's such a good thing to do. But remember where you came from," he added.

"Honestly, one day you're not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop."

While Gordon's comments led to Brooklyn unfollowing him on Instagram, it's now thought that David and Victoria, who reportedly plan to stay silent, aren't happy, either.

"Gordon is nearly 60 and took a pop at a kid he has known since he was a toddler," a source is said to have told the Daily Mail.

"David and Victoria haven't spoken on the issue, and they never will - and then Gordon wades in.

"He has got a point. He has seen his best friends, David and Victoria, go through hell. Perhaps that's why he did it, or maybe he thought he was helping the situation."

• Timothée Chalamet revealed that his girlfriend Kylie Jenner surprised him with an IMAX screening of his 2014 film, Interstellar, for his 30th birthday.
• Chalamet made the revelation during a CNN Town Hall with his Interstellar co-star Matthew McConaughey.
• Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have been together for three years.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet continue to make headlines, with the beauty founder, 28, and the Marty Supreme star, 30, dating since April 2023.

And with Chalamet winning a Golden Globe this award season, and nominated for a SAG, BAFTA and an Oscar, the A-list couple has been particularly front and centre.

Despite the interest around them, Jenner and Chalamet continue to be notoriously private about their three year relationship, only speaking about each other in public on very few occasions.

One of these rare moments happened just this week, as Chalamet revealed that his girlfriend surprised him with a secret IMAX screening of his 2014 film, Interstellar, for his 30th birthday.

Chalamet made the revelation during his CNN Town Hall with Matthew McConaughey, with McConaughey starring in the film as Cooper, and Chalamet playing his son, Tom.

"I have legitimately maybe seen [Interstellar] 22 times or something. I saw it 12 times in theaters when it came out," Chalamet explained during the conversation.

"His girlfriend set him up a screening of it or something for his birthday," McConaughey added, which Chalamet then went on to confirm.

"This is true, man," he recalled. "This is true for my last birthday. And I was grumpy on the way there, because I didn’t know where she was taking me at. It’s my birthday. Why are we driving 30 minutes outside L.A.?

He continued: "I got to the theater. It was Interstellar in IMAX. I said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry.’ I said, ‘I’m sorry I was so grumpy on the drive.’ But—I wasn’t going to bring that up, man.

"But, listen, man, I love that movie,” Chalamet continued. “And I just hope, I don’t know - seeing so many young faces here, I hope it resonates for you guys, too, because I just love that movie, man. And I’m the only person that gets sad every time Casey Affleck comes on-screen, you know, because that’s when I’m out [of] the movie. But I got a good friend named Ryan. He’s a Texas boy. He says Interstellar falls off at minute 37."

Well, this is lovely.

Leighton Meester is one of the most talked-about women in the world. And from her season two role in Nobody Wants This to her sweet relationship with Adam Brody, the Gossip Girl star never fails to make headlines.

This week, Meester was particularly front and centre, appearing on Penn Badgley's popular 'Podcrushed' podcast. And during the conversation, the 39-year-old broke her silence on her viral red carpet exchange with Ariana Grande.

The two A-list women went viral for a shared moment at the Critics Choice Awards in January, where their red carpet exchange became an internet moment.

The footage shows Grande telling Meester "I love you so much! Wow, wow, wow," as she walks past her, before Meester can be seen repeating the statement to the woman next to her, and laughing.

Lip readers and online detectives weighed in on the moment at the time, with some social media users criticising Meester for her "mocking" response.

And while the Gossip Girl star has previously remained quiet about the situation, she opened up about the viral exchange this week, explaining that she had misheard, mistaking Grande's comment for a joke about her crying.

Meester explained that she had felt very "raw and emotional" at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, the year before, crying during the ceremony.

"But like a few weeks ago, I was going to the same award show, and I was like: ‘Oh my god, remember when I cried last time?’" she recalled. "Tears were coming out. And then I walked by Ariana Grande on the red carpet, and if you just walk by her, you’re on the internet. And she said something I couldn’t hear.

"I was with my publicist, Kate," she continued. "So [Grande] was walking by, and she said something to me. And then Kate turns around, and we both heard: ‘Hi, I love you, wah, wah, wah!’ I couldn’t hear - she was walking away."

Believing Grande's comment to be a joke about her crying, Meester continued: "I was like: ‘Oh, she’s kind of a comedy queen, she’s just being funny.’ I thought that was something she would do, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, that’s cute and funny.’

"Then it turned out she didn’t say that," she revealed. "And then I saw her the next week, and I was like: ‘I have to tell you, like, I thought…’ and she’s like, ‘You thought I said wah, wah, wah? That’s so funny!’ And I was like, ‘No, it’s an old person not being able to hear!’ That’s so embarrassing."

Well, this is hilarious.

Taylor Swift is one of the most talked-about people of the moment. And from the release of her highly-anticipated Opalite music video and its behind the scenes footage, to speculation around her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce, the 36-year-old has been front and centre.

It is a rumoured Taylor Swift appearance that has made the most headlines this week, with sources reporting that the Father Figure singer could be performing at this year's Brit Awards.

And with Swift not performing in public since the end of her record-breaking Eras tour in December 2024, the reports have been going viral.

Speculation around a potential Taylor Swift Brit Awards appearance were sparked by reports that the Life of a Showgirl singer had "secretly landed in the UK", with it believed that her entourage was visiting Manchester next week.

And with the 2026 Brit Awards taking place in Manchester's Co-op Live arena on Saturday 28 February, she is now predicted to be making a special performance at the ceremony.

"Taylor is hiding out in London at the moment and is scheduled to visit Manchester, which seems like she could be lined up for a surprise appearance at the Brit Awards," a source recently reported via The Sun.

"Taylor was handed the Global Icon Award at the ceremony back in 2021 and has a huge amount of respect for the Brits," the source continued of Swift's long history with the Awards. "She loves it."

"Brits bosses are trying to keep everything under lock and key, but it feels too much like a coincidence that Taylor is secretly in the UK at the exact time of the Brits," the source continued.

"The fact her team are all heading home the Monday after the ceremony is fishy. Manchester is an amazing city, but Taylor wouldn’t just be coming to look at the cathedral and the Etihad, would she?"

Well, this is exciting.

We will continue to update this story.

The 2026 Brit Awards is set to take place at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on Saturday 28 February 2026.

The ceremony will be broadcast live to UK viewers on ITV and ITVX. And for the first time ever, it will also be available to watch on ITV's YouTube channel.

The Beckham family feud has dominated headlines since May last year when Victoria and David's eldest son, Brooklyn, didn't attend his father's 50th birthday. In the months that followed, the family declined to comment on the speculation of a fallout; instead, sources claimed that Victoria and David were 'heartbroken' by the distance, and Brooklyn went on to renew his wedding vows with Nicola without any of his family members in attendance.

Despite hope of a family reunion at Christmas, Brooklyn finally addressed the Beckham family dynamics in January with a lengthy statement. Following reports that he had engaged lawyers, Brooklyn wrote on Instagram that he does not want to reconcile with his parents, claiming that the family relationships were 'inauthentic' and that Victoria and David had been 'trying to endlessly ruin [his] relationship'.

While Brooklyn's younger brother Romeo has not publicly commented on the family fallout, this week he also made his feelings quite clear via the medium of social media. In an Instagram post discussing the Beckham family feud, content creator Ash Cantley claimed that 'Victoria and David are trying to rescue their son' and alleged that Brooklyn's wife, Nicola, was 'the problem.' The clip gained more momentum as fans realised that Romeo had 'liked' the video. One fan wrote underneath the video: "Romeo liked this!"

Romeo isn't the first of Brooklyn's siblings to communicate their feelings through Instagram. In July last year, an insider claimed that Brooklyn was 'confused' when both Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20, allegedly 'blocked' their older brother on Instagram. Then, in December, Cruz commented on a claims that Victoria and David had also blocked Brooklyn on social media, sharing a screenshot of an article with the caption: "NOT TRUE... My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I."

Just last weekend, Harper Beckham appeared to offer Brooklyn an olive branch of her own when she shared a tribute to her siblings on Valentine's Day. Uploading a picture of herself with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, Harper wrote: "Happy Valentine's Day to the best big brothers in the whole wide world x."

Maya Hawke's sweet Valentine's Day wedding took Stranger Things fans by surprise, not least because it was a refreshingly low-key ceremony by celebrity standards - but because it also included a mini-reunion for a number of the show's biggest stars. Maya, who joined the Stranger Things cast for its third season in 2019, married her partner of three years, Christian Lee Hutson, at St. George's Episcopal in Manhattan, New York. The guest list included several of her co-stars, including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Caleb McLaughlin, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery.

However, a handful of actors from the Netflix show were notably missing from the paparazzi photos. Although it's unclear whether or not they were invited to the wedding, Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour and Noah Schnapp were, seemingly, not present. Multiple outlets have claimed that both David Harbour and Noah Schnapp were in New York City at the time of the nuptials, but had other plans; TMZ published photos of David on a Valentine's Day walk, while celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi shared photos of Noah having lunch with actor Tony Goldwyn.

But it was Millie's absence that was ultimately most widely discussed online, with Stranger Things fans wondering why she wasn't present at Maya's wedding. The explanation? Millie shared photos of herself preparing for a Galentine's Day get together, with the background - including bright sunshine and palm trees - indicating that she was on the other side of the country at her home in California.

When Millie married Jake Bongiovi in 2024, the only known Stranger Things cast mates in attendance were Noah Schnapp and Matthew Modine (who played Dr. Brenner/Papa).

Last year, a video clip of Millie discussing her wedding guest list resurfaced as her professional relationship with David Harbour was thrust into the spotlight. In the wake of his ex-wife, Lily Allen's, latest album, sources alleged that Millie had lodged 'harassment' complaints against David in 2024. However, she later addressed the speculation and the pair walked the red carpet together in Los Angeles for the premiere of the Stranger Things finale.

• Cynthia Erivo has spoken out about the "strange fascination" with her relationship with Wicked co-star Ariana Grande in a recent interview.
• "At first, I think people didn't understand how it was possible for two women to be friends - close - and not lovers,” Erivo explained to Stylist Magazine.
• "People either thought we were putting it on for the cameras or that we were lovers," she continued. "And I think it’s because there’s such little conversation around platonic female friendship that is deep and real."

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande continue to make headlines, with both A-listers nominated this award season for their starring roles in 2025 release, Wicked: For Good.

It is their close relationship however that gets the world talking the most, with the internet fascinated by their deep bond during the press tours for both Wicked films. And from that "holding space" interview moment to the footage of Erivo protecting Grande from an incident at the Singapore Premiere, their friendship has garnered a great deal of interest.

This is something that Erivo spoke out about this week, addressing her relationship with Grande amid "strange fascination" from the public.

"At first, I think people didn't understand how it was possible for two women to be friends - close - and not lovers,” Erivo explained in a recent interview with Stylist Magazine.

"I've never really spoken about this but there was this strange fascination with the two of us, where people either thought we were putting it on for the cameras or that we were lovers," she continued. "And I think it’s because there’s such little conversation around platonic female friendship that is deep and real."

"We're not used to seeing it on camera in front of people," she continued. "A relationship where people are connected sometimes just makes people uncomfortable; we aren't taught that those relationships are good for us."

Ariana Grande has also spoken out about their friendship in the past, calling her experience working with Erivo "the greatest privilege of [her] professional life."

"To be able to act with this one and to share a space and to be a scene partner with you was the greatest privilege of my professional life," Grande explained in the interview alongside Erivo. "Let alone sing with her, the greatest singer in the entire world. I’m spoiled for life."

"[We are] like opposite sides of the same coin," Erivo previously added of their bond. "So I think we each have something the other can love and can see themselves."

Well, this is lovely.

The Peltz Beckhams' relationship with the rest of the Beckham family has dominated the headlines, with Brooklyn speaking out in a shock statement last month.

"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Victoria and David's eldest son posted to Instagram after months of speculation around a family fallout.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family," he continued. "I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

The 26-year-old's explosive social media statement went on to accuse his parents of "trying endlessly to ruin [his] relationship" with Nicola Peltz, alleging that his "wife has been consistently disrespected by [his] family."

And citing their 2022 wedding in particular, Brooklyn accused Victoria Beckham of cancelling making Peltz's wedding dress "in the eleventh hour" and "hijacking" their first dance.

"The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards," Brooklyn's bombshell statement continued. "I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief."

The Beckham family has not commented directly on the statement. However Harper Beckham, 14, and Cruz Beckham, 20, have subtly reached out with social media olive branches over the last week.

And close friend of the family Gordon Ramsay spoke out about the subject recently, confirming that he had been in touch with Brooklyn about the situation.

"I love him, his heart is incredible, but it’s hard, isn’t it?," Ramsay explained in an interview with The Sun. "I think when you’re infatuated, you know, love is blind.

"They say it for that reason, and so, you know, he’s desperate to stand on his own two feet," Ramsay continued. "He’s desperate to forge his own way. And I respect that from Brooklyn, and that’s such a good thing to do.

"But remember where you came from, and honestly, one day you’re not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that."

Brooklyn's response was almost immediate, with the 20-year-old unfollowing Ramsay on Instagram, before posting a Valentine's tribute to his wife.

"Happy Valentine’s Day baby x," he captioned a black and white photograph of the two of them. "I am the luckiest person in the world to be able to call you my valentines every year x I love you more than you know and I will forever protect and love you x".

The Winter Olympics is in full swing, with Milano Cortina 2026 running until 22 February. And while alpine skiing, ice hockey and bobsledding have been front and centre, it is the athletes' personal lives that have been dominating our newsfeeds.

This is especially true after the success of Rachel Reid's queer romance, Heated Rivalry, with the TV adaptation following the relationship between two rival professional ice hockey players.

And just one month on from the popular show's UK release, there has been particular interest in the real-life couples competing at this year's Winter Olympics.

From Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (Norway) to Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri (both Team Italy), we've rounded up the real-life couples (and 'Heated Rivalries') from the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.

The Real-Life Couples From the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics

Emily Fischnaller (Team USA) and Dominic Fischnaller (Team Italy)

Emily and Dominic Fischnaller are two Olympic luge athletes who have been together for 15 years. The couple, who married last year, will be going head to head in the 2026 Winter Olympics, with Emily representing Team USA and Dominic competing for Italy.

"I tell her she can’t get hurt because I feel the pain even 10,000 times more than she feels her own pain," Dominic told The AP. "I’m extremely nervous when she’s sliding. I almost can’t watch the race."

Mikaela Shiffrin (Team USA) and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (Team Norway)

Team USA’s alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin and Team Norway’s alpine skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde announced their engagement in April 2024, with the couple competing for their respective countries at this year's Winter Olympics.

"We’ve been a rock for each other," Kilde has previously explained to Olympics.com. "I think that’s how we go about stuff in general. We’ve always supported each other, we’re always trying to look at things in a positive way."

Hailey Langland and Red Gerard (Team USA)

Hailey Langland and Red Gerard are two snowboarders from Team USA who will be competing together at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. The couple met when they were just 12 years old, but have been in a relationship since 2018.

"To snowboard with your girlfriend, your best friend — both of us push each other in really good ways," Gerard has previously explained of their dynamic. "She’s a lot more mellow. I have a lot more anxiety."

Blayre Turnbull and Ryan Sommer (Team Canada)

Blayre Turnbull and Ryan Sommer are both representing Team Canada at Milano Cortina, with Turnbull being an ice hockey player and Sommer, an Olympic bobsledder, being a Team Manager this year.

The couple married in 2023, with Sommer posting in a tribute to his new wife: "I’m the luckiest man in the world to get to share this life with you!"

Madison Chock and Evan Bates (Team USA)

Madison Chock and Evan Bates are a married ice dancer couple for Team USA who have been competing together since 2011, winning silver at the 2026 Milano Cortina Games.

“I remember thinking, ‘I can’t really imagine one day walking out of the rink and going our separate ways, being friends and just not seeing each other anymore,’" Bates told Us Weekly earlier this year of their relationship. "I made the realization, I shared the realization, and luckily, the realization was reciprocated. That changed everything in our relationship and our partnership."

Kim Meylemans (Team Belgium) and Nicole Silveira (Team Brazil)

Kim Meylemans and Nicole Silveira are two skeleton athletes who married last year, competing against each other for gold at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.

"It was dif­fi­cult at the 2022 Games," Silveira previously told the Brazilian Olympic Com­mit­tee of their rivalry. "We were already together, but still on dif­fer­ent teams, so we didn’t know what was secret and you couldn’t tell your rival."

Anna Kjellbin (Team Sweden) and Ronja Savolainen (Team Finland)

Anna Kjellbin and Ronja Savolainen are an engaged couple who play for rival ice hockey teams, the Toronto Sceptres and the Ottawa Charge. And this Winter Olympics, they will be going head to head, with Kjellbin representing Sweden and Savolainen competing for Finland.

“I don’t care who’s in front of me… if it’s going to be her, I’m going to hit her," Savolainen previously told Ottawa Citizen. "When you play, you just play. You don’t really think about who’s there. You’re friends after. On the ice, she’s my enemy. That’s how it goes."

Hilary Knight and Brittany Bowe (Team USA)

Hilary Knight and Brittany Bowe will both be competing for Team USA at Milano Cortina this year, with the Olympic ice hockey player and Olympic speed skater couple dating since 2022.

“We really got to know each other in Beijing and have really been inseparable ever since,” Bowe has previously explained. “Knowing her as a hockey player, it’s like this big, strong, powerful female,” she reflected. “But then, when we got to know each other, she was soft, genuine, kind, almost shy. That really sparked my interest.”

Marie Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey (Team Canada)

Marie Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey are a hockey power couple, both winning multiple Olympic gold medals and representing Canada as teammates this year.

"This is probably the most myself I’ve ever been," Poulin explained of going public with their relationship, shortly after they married, via CBC. "Being myself, having the community, family, and friends embracing me, embracing us, embracing this new team. And it doesn’t matter who you love, it’s who you are. And I think that’s the best part about it. I’ve always been the hockey player. But I have a wife, and I can be myself."

Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri (Team Italy)

Charlene Guignard and Marco Fabbri are a professional ice dancer couple, who are competing for Team Italy at the 2026 Winter Olympics, taking place in their hometown of Milan.

The couple has been working together professionally and dating for over 15 years, with Milano Cortina marking their fourth Olympic Games competing together.

"Since we are a couple in life, it's a way to share literally everything, all the emotion," Fabbri explained to Olympics.com. "It would be still very nice, of course, to achieve what we achieved separately. But since we achieved what we achieved together, it's even better because you are sharing very strong feelings and very strong emotions with the person you love, with the person you've decided to spend your life with. It's special for sure."

Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant (Team Canada)

Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant are two Canadian curlers originally from Eastern Canada, who are now married and living together in Calgary with their son. Milano Cortina 2026 will be their second Olympic Games competing together as a mixed doubles duo.

"Without mixed doubles being in the Olympics, we probably wouldn't be together today, and we wouldn't have, you know, got to do all these crazy things together," Gallant recently explained to Olympics.com. "So, really, we kind of have the Olympics to thank for the start of this."

Magnus Nedregotten and Kristin Moen Skaslien (Team Norway)

Magnus Nedregotten and Kristin Moen Skaslien are two Norwegian curlers who have competed together as a mixed doubles duo since 2013. The married couple, who originally met in 2008, will be joining forces this Winter Olympics to represent Team Norway.

"It's an advantage to know each other well, as then you don't have to wrap things up," Skaslien has explained of working with her husband to NBC Olympics. "You can say exactly what you mean to the other person and then you are done with it and then you can move on. So that's an advantage, but sometimes it's a challenge playing with your husband on the ice."

Briar Schwaller-Hürlimann and Yannick Schwaller (Team Switzerland)

Briar Schwaller-Hürlimann and Yannick Schwaller are a Swiss mixed doubles duo representing Team Switzerland at the Milano Cortina Games. The couple wed in 2022, welcoming their son two years later, with the 2026 Milano Cortina being their first time competing together at the Olympics.

“It’s really cool that our son — when he learns to talk — he can say that my parents were together at the Olympics, which is really cool,” Schwaller has previously explained on Instagram. "It's really nice that we can experience this whole journey as a family and take on these memories for a lifetime," Schwaller-Hürlimann recently added.

The Milano Cortina Olympic Winter Games is taking place between 6 February and 22 February 2026, and is available to watch on BBC and BBC iPlayer.

Brooklyn Beckham has unfollowed Gordon Ramsay on Instagram after the star chef urged him to "remember where he came from" in the midst of the ongoing feud with his parents.

Gordon had his say on the "very difficult situation" between David and Victoria and their eldest son, which recently saw the 26-year-old hit out at his parents in a lengthy Instagram statement.

In the shock post, Brooklyn claimed that Victoria had cancelled making wife Nicola Peltz's wedding dress at the "eleventh hour" and danced "inappropriately" on him at his wedding.

He also claimed that his parents tried to bribe him into "signing away the rights" to the Beckham name before he married Nicola, saying he had felt "controlled" his entire life.

While Brooklyn recently removed his tattoo tributes to his family and says he has no desire to reconcile with his parents, Gordon, who has long been a close friend of the Beckhams, has weighed in.

"It's a very difficult situation. Victoria is upset, and I know 24/7, seven days a week, just how much David loves Brooklyn," he told The Sun, revealing that he has been in contact with Brooklyn amid the drama.

"Brooklyn and I have messaged a little bit. Our relationship is solid. I love him. His heart is incredible. But it's hard, isn't it, when you're infatuated? Love is blind. It's easy to get up on that rollercoaster and get carried away. But it will come back."

Gordon, whose daughter Holly married Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty in the presence of Victoria, David, and Brooklyn's siblings back in December 2025, went on to urge him to remember the importance of his relationship with his parents.

"I've seen first-hand just how good parents they are. David, as a dad, is just incredible. I think it's going to be a matter of time before Brooklyn takes a good look at himself and understands just what his parents mean to him.

"He's desperate to forge his own way, and I respect that from him. It's such a good thing to do. But remember where you came from," he added.

"Honestly, one day you're not going to have your mum and dad, and you need to understand that. That penny will drop."

Just hours after Gordon's candid plea, Brooklyn appeared to remove him from his Instagram following list - although Gordon is still following Brooklyn's account, suggesting this wasn't a blocking situation.

The Peltz Beckhams' fallout with the rest of the Beckham family continues to make headlines, with Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn speaking out in a shock statement in January.

"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Brooklyn posted to Instagram.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family," he added. "I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

The 26-year-old's social media statement confirmed years of speculation around a family fallout, with tensions documented between the Beckhams and Peltz Beckhams since Brooklyn and Nicola's 2022 wedding.

"Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders," Brooklyn alleged in his statement. "Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer."

"I grew up with overwhelming anxiety," he later concluded. "For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief."

The Beckham family has not commented directly on the statement, but family members from David to Cruz have appeared to reach out on social media, with Brooklyn's youngest brother sharing a throwback family photograph just last week.

"This is how you say indirectly: "I miss my older brother," posted one fan. "Somebody's giving out the olive branch, and we are all here for it," read another comment.

This weekend, it was Harper Beckham who appeared to extend an olive branch, posting a sweet tribute on Instagram Stories to her three brothers.

Harper, 14, posted a moving black and white photograph with Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, alongside the caption: "Happy Valentine's Day to the best big brothers in the whole wide world x." And accompanying the post, she selected the song 'Big Girls Don't Cry' by Fergie.

The youngest Beckham does not have a public Instagram account, but mum Victoria Beckham shared the post on her own Instagram Stories, alongside a red love heart.

Harper also posted a Valentine's tribute to her mum, that Victoria also shared, captioning a throwback photograph of them: "Happy Valentines to my best friend and to the best mum ever. I love you more than anything x."

Taylor Swift has been front and centre this month, with the 36-year-old releasing her highly-anticipated Opalite music video.

Swift's The Life of a Showgirl album has been making headlines since its October release, with the Father Figure singer dropping her long-awaited music videos one by one.

And after a viral appearance on The Graham Norton Show to promote the album, Swift decided to cast all of her fellow interviewees from the episode and Graham Norton himself in the Opalite music video.

"The idea for the Opalite music video crash landed into my imagination when I was doing promo for The Life of a Showgirl", Swift has since explained in a lengthy statement.

"I was a guest on one of my favorite shows, The Graham Norton Show," she continued, explaining that she felt "ridiculous lucky" to be paired with Cillian Murphy, Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Lewis Capaldi.

And when Gleeson made a joke about wanting to be in a Taylor Swift video, the singer recalled being "struck with an idea" to have him "playing the starring role".

"I had this thought that it would be wild if all of our fellow guests on the Graham Norton show that night, including Graham himself, could be a part of it too," she continued. "Like a school group project but for adults and it isn’t mandatory. To my delight, everyone from the show made the effort to time travel back to the 90’s with us and help with this video."

The Opalite music video has unsurprisingly gone viral, with its star-studded cast delighting the internet.

And in a sweet update, Swift has now shared a two-part extended version online, featuring camcorder footage from the day, BTS dance training and videos of Swift directing the celebrity cameos on set.

"'Did you see Taylor’s face after you said that?,'" Gleeson recalled someone asking him after his Graham Norton Show joke that inspired the music video. "I was like, 'There’s no way she’s thinking about it.'"

"Thank god because I think we were all thinking it," Jodie Turner-Smith reflected.

The extended release also shows behind the scenes footage of Gleeson being surprised with the news that he was filming a dance sequence on the day.

"This dance thing is new. I want everyone to know that," he jokes in the now viral video, with Swift confessing: "I didn't tell Dom he was going to dance.... I just thought it would be better to tell him in person."

"I never want to forget a single detail of this hysterical shoot, and now I don’t have to," Swift told fans on Instagram this weekend. "Excited to share more of the Opalite Music Video with two extended versions full of dance lessoning, our phenomenal cameos, camcorder footage, gigantic scrunchies & fanny pack angles!"

Well, this is exciting.

Taylor Swift's two-part extended version of the Opalite music video is available to watch now on Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify and Amazon Music.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's legal battle remains ongoing, following the release of their 2024 box office hit, It Ends With Us.

Lively, 38, made a legal complaint against Baldoni, 42, in December 2024, accusing her director and co-star of sexual harassment on set, and for allegedly coordinating a smear campaign against her.

Baldoni has denied the allegations, taking legal action against Lively, but his $400 million countersuit has since been dismissed.

A trial for Lively v Wayfarer Studios has now been set for May 2026, with both Lively and Baldoni expected to take to the stand.

However, in one last opportunity to avoid a trial, both parties attempted to resolve the situation at a court-ordered settlement conference this week.

The unsuccessful settlement hearing, taking place in Manhattan, was overseen by Judge Sarah L Cave, reportedly involving six hours of negotiations between the two parties, with both Lively and Baldoni in attendance.

However, while Baldoni arrived at the New York City courthouse accompanied by his wife Emily, Lively attended solo, with her husband Ryan Reynolds being noticeably absent.

This has caused a major conversation online, with fans and followers surprised that the 49-year-old actor was not in attendance, particularly given his previous involvement, with Reynolds reported to have confronted Baldoni in the past.

"I do think it's really weird and shows a weakness that Ryan Reynolds was nowhere to be seen," journalist Kjersti Flaa noted on her podcast.

"He has come out publicly saying how important it is to support his wife, that he wasn't angry enough in all those text messages that he sent to Sony and WME, pushing people to support Blake. And now when it really matters, he's not there."

However, according to one lawyer, Reynolds' involvement is likely the reason for his absence, speculating that Lively's legal team may have encouraged him not to attend.

"Ryan Reynolds was not with Blake Lively at the settlement yesterday because he listened to her lawyers who told him to stay ... away," Ivy League lawyer Theresa Concepcion reported in a TikTok video to her 21.5k followers.

Concepcion went on to allege that Reynolds had damaged Lively's case against Baldoni, reporting: "there were so many things that Ryan Reynolds did to Justin Baldoni himself that justify Justin reaching out to his PR team, that there's no legal way a jury is going to be able to find retaliation."

She continued: "Since he ruined her case and since the public has had this huge backlash, Blake's lawyers know that it's really unlikely that Ryan Reynolds' presence would help in the court of public opinion.

"If Ryan had shown up yesterday, the image might have been 'Ryan is showing up to defend his wife' and 'he should have been angrier.' And 'is he going to be bullying Justin Baldoni during the settlement negotiations?' So if I was Blake's lawyers, I would have said Ryan needs to [stay at] home. And he did."

It has also been speculated that Reynolds may have chosen not to attend the settlement hearing in order to avoid becoming a distraction, and to keep the focus on the case. This was reportedly the reason for Reynolds' absence from Lively's deposition last year, with Yahoo reporting that Lively was advised to face the proceeding alone.

The trial for Lively v Wayfarer Studios is officially set for May 2026.

The Beckham family's relationship with the Peltz Beckhams continues to make headlines, with Victoria and David's eldest son Brooklyn speaking out in an explosive statement last month.

"I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private," Brooklyn posted to Instagram.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family," he later added. "I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

The 26-year-old's statement came after years of speculated tensions, with multiple family members appearing to unfollow each other on social media. And none of the Beckham family were present at Brooklyn and Nicola's 2025 vow renewal.

"My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding, and it hasn't stopped," read part of Brooklyn's statement, even alleging that his brothers Romeo and Cruz had later become involved.

"Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders," Brooklyn alleged. "Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media, before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere this last Summer."

Brooklyn's youngest brother Cruz spoke out about the situation earlier this year, shutting down a headline that suggested that David and Victoria had unfollowed Brooklyn on Instagram.

"NOT TRUE," the 20-year-old posted in a shock revelation. "My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.. Let's get the facts right. They woke up blocked... as did I."

This week however, the young musician appeared to extend an unexpected olive branch to his older bother, posting a black and white throwback photograph with Brooklyn and Romeo to Instagram.

The post proved popular, with Victoria Beckham posting four love hearts and fans commenting in their hundreds.

"This is how you say indirectly: "I miss my older brother," posted one fan. "Clearly missing his brother, so sad," wrote another. "Hopefully this will work itself out - family for life!"

"Somebody's giving out the olive branch, and we are all here for it," read another comment.

The rest of the Beckham family has not commented further on the situation, but Brooklyn's statement did suggest that a reconciliation is a long way off.

"I grew up with overwhelming anxiety," his statement concluded. "For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up everything morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been front and centre in 2026. And from the viral release of the Opalite singer's star-studded music video, to the Kansas City Chiefs player's future in the NFL, the A-list couple has been making non-stop headlines.

It is of course their highly-anticipated nuptials that have been getting the world talking the most, with Swift and Kelce announcing their engagement in August 2025.

And with the A-listers confirming that they are planning a "big wedding", fans and followers have been obsessing over every detail.

Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Ed Sheeran and even the Prince and Princess of Wales are predicted to receive an invitation. And in terms of location, Swift's 11,000-square-foot Rhode Island mansion is considered to be the probable venue.

It was the rumoured wedding date that made headlines this week, with it previously believed that Saturday 13 June 2026 would be the most likely option.

However, due to a recent New Heights scheduling update, the internet has become convinced that Swift and Kelce are actually getting married this month.

The NFL star and his brother Jason announced this week that they were taking a six-week hiatus from filming their popular podcast, implying that they had pre-recorded the next six episodes in advance over the "short little break."

And while the reason for the hiatus is not known, it has sparked speculation that Swift and Kelce could be tying the knot over the period, spanning late February and March.

While possible, this would be surprising, with sources reporting just weeks ago that the A-list couple had paused their wedding planning, amid Kelce's dilemma over whether he should retire from the National Football League.

“They're not even halfway through the guest list,” a source reported to Rob Shuter's #Shuterscoop. “Right now it's more about enjoying time together than crunching spreadsheets.”

"Travis is still figuring out if he's playing next year," the source reported, adding: "They don't want to stress over a wedding when there's so much else going on."

“The ring's on, but that's about as far as it goes," another source noted. “No big meetings, no seating charts. They're in date-night mode, not wedding mode.”

We will continue to update this story.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce continue to make headlines, with the A-list couple being one of the most talked-about in the world.

This has particularly been the case in 2026. And from the release of Swift's new Opalite music video to the couple's upcoming (and highly-anticipated) nuptials, Swift and Kelce have been front and centre.

However, despite the media frenzy around them, the Father Figure singer and NFL star, both 36, appear to have taken a step back from the spotlight, prioritising their time together in private over public appearances.

First, the couple chose not to attend the 2026 Grammy Awards earlier this month, with Swift being a regular attendee of the awards ceremony in the past.

And this weekend, the Blank Space singer was noticeably absent from the 2026 Super Bowl, with Kelce seen attending solo.

News around Swift's non-appearance quickly went viral, with fans trying to decipher the meaning behind her absence.

However, on closer inspection, it is not that surprising, with Swift only attending in 2024 and 2025 to support Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Kelce's team did not make it to the final this year, with Sunday's Super Bowl game seeing the Seattle Seahawks triumph over the New England Patriots. Therefore, Swift had no reason to attend the sporting event in 2026.

Not to mention, it comes amid a particularly busy time for the singer, with Swift releasing her latest music video just days ago.

While Travis Kelce did not play on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was honoured at San Francisco's Levi's Stadium ahead of the game, where he was recognised as the 2025 Nationwide Charity Challenge winner.

The Kansas City Chiefs star is reportedly contemplating his future and whether he will retire from the National Football League this month, with sources via the Daily Mail describing the decision as "stressful and life-altering."

"Taylor understands that this is the first real test of their relationship," the sources reported. "She is focusing on positivity right now, but she wants him to be in a place where he is happy because at the end of the day, that will make them happy.”

We will continue to update this story.

The Beckham family has been front and centre in 2026, with their relationship with Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham dominating the headlines.

"I do not want to reconcile with my family," Victoria and David's eldest son wrote in an explosive statement to Instagram last month, confirming reports of a fallout. "I'm not being controlled, I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life."

"I grew up with overwhelming anxiety," Brooklyn later added, making multiple accusations about his parents. "For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief".

The Beckham family has not directly commented on Brooklyn's shock statement, keeping a relatively low profile in the weeks since.

However, sources believe that one family member could soon be stepping up, with insiders predicting that 14-year-old Harper will become the "new face" of the Beckham empire.

"Harper has been being soft launched as the new face of the Beckham empire for years," an insider reported to Heat World UK. "Vic has been in talks about doing a teen skincare, beauty and lifestyle brand launch with Sephora.

"The plan was for it to hit stores next year," the source continued. "Harper has definitely inherited the entrepreneurial genes from her parents and for the last few years, she been going to events with Vic and pitching in with social media ideas – she’s even sat in on business meetings and got advice from Anna Wintour.

“However, all the plans for her own brand are now on ice while the Beckhams navigate this epic escalation of the Brooklyn situation," they continued. "Both David and Vic are worried that both Harper and Brand Beckham will be in the firing line if they attempt to launch a range with her as the face any time soon."

"So far, Harper has been kept quite private. But there is huge demand from brands who see her as someone lots of other teens would look up to," another source reported to The Sun. "Posh and Becks can see her potential and she wants to try some things out in the public eye. The wheels are in motion to slowly book some jobs for her.

"David and Victoria have no immediate plans for anything commercial," the insider later added. "It’s simply an exciting and fun option for Harper further down the line."

Well, this is exciting.

The Beckham family has not commented on the reports.

Emily in Paris actor Jeremy O. Harris was arrested in Okinawa, Japan on suspicion of alleged drug smuggling in November 2025.

According to reports, O. Harris, 36, was arrested at Naha Airport on Okinawa Island over an alleged violation of the country's Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Law.

Airport custom officers reportedly found 0.78 grams of ecstasy, a psychedelic drug, in his luggage. And the actor was subsequently taken into custody by the Tomishiro police, remaining there for 22 days.

O. Harris was released "without charges” on 8th December 2025.

This week, O. Harris spoke out about the situation, opening up about his experience in a rare conversation with Whoopi Goldberg for Interview Magazine.

"I’m also working on a book about what just happened when I was in Japan. I don’t know if you know this, but I got arrested,” O. Harris explained to Goldberg in the recent interview.

"They found something in my bag, and you don’t get to talk to a lawyer for 23 days," the actor alleged. "They just put you in a cell and investigate you with no lawyer. I had to talk to them through a translator. It’s all crazy. I’m writing a book about that experience called Customs.”

"I do think it was an experience that rich white people would pay for because I lost 10 pounds, read 23 books, got off my phone, and detoxed from my internet addiction," O. Harris added. "It was kind of amazing."

"The first thing I said was, ‘These are not my drugs. This is an accident from a wedding. Drug test me.’ They drug tested me and I was negative. And because my story didn’t change over 23 days, they couldn’t keep me.

"My mom was so scared," O. Harris continued. "I was just working out every day and reading and doing the things I should have done during COVID, which was discover a new way of existing with my body."

Jeremy O. Harris has appeared in Netflix's Emily in Paris since season two, playing fashion designer Grégory Elliot Duprée for three seasons, with it not known whether the 36-year-old will be returning for season six.

He has also appeared in the Gossip Girl reboot, Zola and The Sweet East, as well as co-producing several episodes of popular HBO series Euphoria. However, he is most known for his playwriting, with his best known play, Slave Play, even nominated for a Tony award in 2018.
