    Chelsea Handler admits she’s reconsidering marriage and is looking for British husband after THOSE Ralph Fiennes rumours as she reveals her relationship status and why she doesn’t want kids

    Chelsea Handler has admitted she’s having second thoughts about never getting married, as she admitted she is on the hunt for a British husband.

    Last month, the comedian, 50, sparked romance rumours with British actor Ralph Fiennes, after the pair were spotted leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar Party laughing arm-in-arm.

    However, she then appeared to shut down the speculation, while suggesting she wasn’t interested in getting serious with anyone.

    Chelsea insisted to Entertainment Tonight that she and Ralph, 62, were only walking to another party together with another group of people and that’s ‘all that happened’.

    Before she then admitted: ‘I don’t think Ralph Fiennes is marriage material. And I don’t think I’m marriage material. I don’t think either one of us is getting married.’

    However, the stand-up star has now seemingly had a change of heart, telling HELLO! that she is ‘definitely looking for a husband’, with her preference being one from the UK to allow her to leave the States.

    Clarifying her relationship status, she said: ‘I’m single at the moment, and very happy to be free. Although now, I could use a husband – a British on, specifically – because I need to get the hell out of my country. So, I’m going to recant that statement. I am definitely looking for a husband.

    Chelsea’s last longterm relationship was with fellow comedian Jo Koy, while she’s also been linked to chef Bobby Flay, hotelier André Balazs, rapper 50 Cent, comedian David Alan Grier, and former Comcast Entertainment Group CEO Ted Harbert. 

    She admitted that her reluctance to tie the knot hasn’t been for lack of opportunity, with her having broken off two engagements in the past, but that she sees marriage as being like the ‘end of the party’.

    She explained: ‘I say yes initially, and then I slowly break up with them right after the proposal; that’s happened twice. If I were to fall madly in love and marriage was on the table, I might try it. 

    ‘But I always want the world to be full of possibilities and, to me, marriage means this is your only possibility. It’s like the end of the party and now you’re stuck with this person.’

    Chelsea also opened up about facing criticism for her desire not to have children, calling it ‘ridiculous’ and insisting that she ‘shouldn’t be a parent’.

    She said: ‘I don’t have that skill set and it’s not responsible to bring a child into the world if you’re not into that. So, to be pilloried because of my lack of desire for a child is ridiculous. I’m being responsible by not having a child.’

    Appearing on Kylie Kelce’s podcast last month, Chelsea spoke more about her decision not to have kids, saying: ‘It’s so important to know if you have what it takes to be a mother.

    However, the stand-up star has now seemingly had a change of heart, telling HELLO! that she is 'definitely looking for a husband', with her preference being one from the UK to allow her to leave the States (seen in Feb)

    ‘I don’t have that. What I do have is a huge bandwidth, because I don’t have my own family to take care of.’

    Her confirmation of her single status, comes after Chelsea previously confessed she’d been dating a mystery man for the past ‘nine months’ in February.

    Speaking on The Jamie Kern Lima Show, the Critics’ Choice Awards host teased: ‘I have someone that I’m seeing now that I’m very attracted to and that I like having sex with, and so that’s a really good like nice little thing I have going’.

    But she went on: ‘I don’t think any relationships that I’ve been in [have been] serious. I don’t think of myself as a relationship person. I think of myself as a purpose person. 

    ‘Like my purpose is here, to be here to have conversations like the one we’re having right now, to infuse people with optimism, to be there for women, that is my purpose in this life, whether they’re more lives or not.’

    Chelsea added: ‘All I know is I know what I’m supposed to be doing, and any man that’s in my life is not the main character. That’s a side relationship, and I love them, and I want to respect everybody, but that’s not my main M.O. in life. I’m not that kind of person.’

    She previously got candid about the reason behind her 2022 split from ex-boyfriend Jo, 53, after almost a year of dating, admitting she’d been ‘really in love and happy,’ but had to call it quits due to their different values.

    Opening up on her heartbreak in detail on the Armchair Expert podcast in February, she explained she’d ultimately decided to choose herself and not compromise her values or her future. 

    She said: ‘What I thought a mature healthy relationship and what he thought was a mature healthy relationship were two different things and I would have had to compromise everything I stand for and I wasn’t willing to do that.’

    She called Jo’s expectations for her as his girlfriend were very ‘outdated, old-fashioned and not going to work,’ adding that it was obvious that they ‘had different ideas about togetherness.

    She explained: ‘I felt like it was a decision between having a relationship and being full-on or choosing myself and my sanity – sanity is an overstatement – but I would have compromised my own value system.

    Chelsea reflected on how their relationship changed her confidence level as well as her ability to be vulnerable and ‘accept love’.

    She said: ‘The biggest takeaway from that relationship was A, that I was able to be in love again in a vulnerable, mature, healthy way and then when I realized it wasn’t going to work out I was able to end it in a healthy, mature way and not divulge all the stuff and the ugliness that may have happened in between because I didn’t want to focus on that.

    The comedian said that she was ‘reminded of her strength and power of who she is’, during a time in which she had lost interest in her job.

    She told The Sun: ‘I was on my own, I said ‘nobody asks me out’ and Jane said: ‘That’s because you’ve got, ‘F*** off!’ tattooed across your forehead”.

    ‘So I had to think about that. Maybe I need to be just a bit more open’.

    Patsy Kensit showed off her washboard abs as she shared a racy bikini selfie on Thursday. 

    The actress and singer, 56, was reminiscing about sunnier climates amid the UK’s freezing temperatures. 

    Taking to Instagram, Patsy shared a snap of herself in a tiny black triangle bikini, complete with white straps and a belt. 

    She displayed her impressive toned figure in the selfie and showcased her sunkissed skin. 

    Patsy completed the summery look with a pair of sunglasses as she pouted at the camera.  

    ‘I miss the sun,’ the Alfie Darling star captioned the snap.

    Patsy’s racy display comes just two months after Ulrika Jonsson took a brutal swipe at her by claiming she ‘doesn’t know what it’s like to be single,’ after the actress ruled out the prospect of finding love.

    The English actress, who has been married four times, split from her fiancé Patric Cassidy in May after a whirlwind romance, and in a recent interview, said she’d given up on finding a man.

    But in the latest edition of her column for The Sun, Ulrika, 57, hit back at Patsy’s comments, questioning her claims that she’s ‘been on her own for a long time,’ noting that she’s been single for far longer.

    She wrote: ‘Dear Patsy, being on your own for a few months is not on your own for a long time. 

    ‘Claiming you enjoy your own company after spending the weekend away from your partner or children is not being single.

    ‘It’s all well and good spouting on about how we enjoy the freedoms of being unattached, but come to see me when you’ve done six years in the solitary wilderness of “singledom”, like me, then I’m more than happy to compare notes.

    ‘I find it hard to believe when I hear such a dedicated devotee of a relationship suddenly proclaiming that she will handle all that comes with a partnerless life.

    ‘I think Patsy will soon find out that talking the talk is far easier than actually walking the “singular” walk.’

    Patsy’s racy display comes just two months after Ulrika Jonsson took a brutal swipe at her by claiming she ‘doesn’t know what it’s like to be single,’ after the actress ruled out the prospect of finding love 

    Patsy said earlier that month that while she believes in love, she has no longer has any interest in a relationship. 

    She told Hello!: ‘I wouldn’t want a relationship, I am not interested. I do believe in love. 

    ‘But for me it’s not something I need, I have been on my own a long time and I like my own company. 

    ‘Now, it’s just adjusting my life to fill the hole that’s in my soul.’ 

    Patsy first married in 1988 when she wed Dan Donovan, from 1980s pop group Big Audio Dynamite. The couple divorced in 1991. 

    She then married Simple Minds front man Jim Kerr in 1992. The couple went on to welcome their son James in 1993, but divorced three years.

    Arguably her most famous marriage, to Oasis singer Liam Gallagher, came the following year and lasted until 2000. The couple share a son, Lennon.

    Patsy previously spoke candidly about her failed marriages, and earlier this year told The Mirror: ‘You don’t have to marry all of your boyfriends.

    ‘My goals always been that my sons had a really good relationship with their fathers.

    ‘For me. I haven’t spoken or had contact with those men. I am very supportive of their relationships with their fathers, but I don’t have one. I like it that way.’

    Tess Daly’s lookalike daughter Phoebe, 20, stands out in chic leopard print as she arrives at Elstree Studios to watch her mum present Strictly Come Dancing

    Tess Daly’s daughter, Phoebe, stepped out in bold animal print as she attended the Strictly Come Dancing quarter finals on Saturday night. 

    The 20-year-old, who Tess shares with husband Vernon Kay, 50, was spotted at the BBC studios alongside Lois Maya Logan, daughter of Gabby Logan, for the show’s Musicals Week.

    Phoebe stood out in a sleeveless halter neck animal-print top, paired with sand-coloured trousers and silver heels, while Lois complemented the look with her own animal-print shirt.

    Tess, 55, recently opened up about her experience watching Phoebe leave home for university. 

    Speaking to Hello! she said: ‘I remember when she first went, with all her bags and her first frying pan… a plate for one, knife and fork for one. I was heartbroken just dropping her off and waving goodbye.’ 

    Despite the initial sadness, Tess revealed Phoebe visits regularly.

    Reflecting on motherhood, Tess previously described her parenting journey as ‘precious,’ saying: ‘I’m lucky, as I’ve got two really good girls. You have to negotiate those teenage moods and hormones. 

    ‘They want to be in their bedroom, talking to their friends; they want to socialise, but that’s just part of the process. 

    ‘I’m really hands-on because I just love it. For me, every step along the journey of parenting has been precious, because I know one day they’ll grow up and leave, and I’m not even ready to think about that yet.’

    Tess and Vernon, who are also parents to daughter Amber, 14, married in September 2003.

    Since turning 18 last year Phoebe has started creeping into the public eye, making her red carpet debut alongside her father at the John Wick Chapter 4 premiere last March and standing beside him at Winter Wonderland last month.

    While TV presenter Vernon was on hand to support his daughter, he previously revealed that he and Tess insist his children don’t live off their fame and must form ‘their own careers.’

    It’s an important factor for the celebrity duo, who both fell into fame after being scouted as models and then turning to television.

    Speaking to MailOnline in 2022, Vernon said he and his wife believe it’s important for their offspring ‘to find themselves’ and not be given their ‘life on a plate’, crediting the pair’s Northern backgrounds for shaping their parenting beliefs.

    Vernon said: ‘We let them be independent when it comes to them and their futures because it’s important that you allow them to find themselves, which is character building and personality development.

    ‘Sometimes I think that the old silver spoon and life on a plate in front of them… I think that’s quite contradictory to how you want them to be.

    ‘Tess and I grew up in hearty, wholesome Northern families and that’s a huge trait that helped us in our personal development and I think that’s really important.’

    He added: ‘I don’t disagree with anyone that does that by helping their kids, which is great, but I just think sometimes for us, personally, it’s whatever they’re into, they can go and discover themselves.’

    Tess is of the same thinking as her husband, telling MailOnline in 2021 how she kept her children ‘grounded’ against the trappings of fame and raises them with ‘morals, respect and a work ethic.’

    The Strictly host revealed that Phoebe didn’t realise her mum worked on TV until she was seven years old as she and Vernon worked to keep their family shielded from the limelight.

    Tess admitted ‘it has never been about us at home’ when talking about the importance of keeping her career separate from motherhood.

    She explained: ‘They are so grounded they know the value of everything. It is everything for us.

    ‘They have good morals and respect others. It’s everything. They build their self-esteem via you. It is so important to us to keep them grounded.

    ‘It has never been about us at home – it is about them and their lives and us at a family. Phoebe didn’t even know I worked on TV until she was about seven!

    She had no idea until she saw me once and said “there’s my mum!” She just thought I went to work on a Saturday because to them it is work.

    ‘Of course they thoroughly enjoy it and they loved watching their dad on I’m A Celeb, they love Strictly – but it is part of what we do and it doesn’t define who we are to them. We’re just mum and dad.

    ‘It’s really important for me that I don’t take away my children’s work ethic and their chance to find their own role in life by overshadowing them with your own.

    ‘It is important they learn to find their own way. It is not about us and ego has no place in our house. They are good, hard-working girls and we’re really proud of them. They’re growing up!’

  • Adele SLAMMED over extortionate price of Las Vegas tour vinyl: ‘Girl we are not rich!’

    Adele SLAMMED over extortionate price of Las Vegas tour vinyl: ‘Girl we are not rich!’

    Adele is receiving backlash over the extortionate price of her limited edition vinyl box set, featuring the entire live setlist from her Las Vegas residency.

    Despite also including a photo book and some confetti from the show as part of the purchase, fans were distraught to learn the box set cost a whopping $349.

    Although many were looking forward to buying the vinyl box set, recorded over her 100-date residency at the historic Colosseum in Caesars Palace, the majority could not justify the hefty price tag.

    One even tweeted that it ‘was cheaper’ for them to fly to Munich ‘to see’ the superstar ‘live than this vinyl.’ 

    Another marveled at ‘the price being higher than [Taylor Swift’s] Eras Tour VIP tickets.’ 

    ‘Now Adele [sobbing emoji] miss ma’am. $350 in this economy? [two more sobbing emojis].’

    Adele is receiving backlash over the extortionate price of her limited edition vinyl box set, featuring the entire live setlist from her Las Vegas residency (seen in 2022)

    Others joked they would need a ‘sugar daddy’ to purchase the item for them.   

    ‘Please give us a cheaper vinyl for normal people who can’t afford that,’ one X user pleaded. 

    Another fan theorized that Adele was getting her ‘retirement check ready.’  

    According to Adele’s website, the vinyl box set is a ‘one-of-a-kind audio experience of Adele’s full live set from her groundbreaking Las Vegas performance.’

    The vinyl spans two hours and features tracks across her entire catalog, including her biggest hits like Hello, Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You. 

    Additionally, ‘in true Adele fashion’ some of her banter between songs made the cut.

    The item is on preorder and has an estimated ship date of early February 2025. 

    On Tuesday, Adele tweeted a video showing a sneak peek of the vinyl, photo book and heart-shaped confetti.

    ‘To commemorate the ending of my residency in Las Vegas, I’m making a limited edition vinyl box set featuring the entire live setlist, a photo book, and even confetti from the show,’ she wrote on X. 

    Additionally, she revealed that she also released a new card game and holiday exclusives, including an ornament, on her website. 

    Adele has an estimated net worth of $220 million, which comes from her concerts, music sales and streaming royalties as well as merchandise and investments. 

    This week, she wrapped her two-year Las Vegas residency. 

    During her last show, she addressed speculation that she would be retiring as she admitted that she wasn’t sure when she would next release new music or tour. 

    ‘I just dunno when I want to next come on stage,’ she confessed. ‘And it’s time to move on.’

    The star also gave a nod to her family, son Angelo, and fiancée Rich Paul in her tear-jerking speech.

    At the end of her performance, Adele recalled the start of her stint in Sin City as ‘f****** rocky’ and described 2022, which saw her cancel gigs less than 24 hours before the first show, as the ‘worst year of her life’.

    Her entire 24-date residency was scrapped at the 11th hour after claims that half her team had Covid and they ‘ran out of time’ for the show to be ready.

    On stage on Saturday night, Adele chugged a glass of wine and told the huge audience of 5,000 fans, in a clip shared to X: ‘I am so sad that this residency is over and I am so glad that it happened I really, really am. 

    ‘It got off to such a f****** rocky rocky way, it was one of the worst years of my life. I was being punched around, it was horrible and I was told it was career suicide and Vegas would never forgive me for [cancelling] so last minute.’

    Choking back tears she continued: ‘But we were talking as a team team earlier, That’s when I first started crying, had I done that show I cancelled, I certainly wouldn’t be standing her tonight doing my 100 show here.’

    She went on: ‘If something doesn’t feel right to you, in anything, don’t f****** do it it doesn’t matter what, and I am talking about gut instinct, if something doesn’t feel right don’t do it.’

    ‘I am bursting with pride and I am so proud of myself and so proud of my team, the band, my fans I’m so thankful to Vegas for giving me that second chance.’

    Following her speech she made her way into the audience where she embraced Rich, 43, after finally confirming their engagement in August, and her son, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, 50.

    Back in 2022 fans paying between $85 and $12,000 for a ticket – or up to $30,000 on the black market – had already travelled to Las Vegas from all over the world including the UK for the opening gig.

    But with just 24 hours to go the British star cancelled her entire 24-night run, which was due to make her $685,000 (£500,000) per performance before merchandising – a Vegas record.

    ‘Weekends With Adele’ was due to run through April in Las Vegas, with all available tickets sold out. In an Instagram post, a visibly upset Adele said: ‘I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready’, saying they ‘ran out of time’.

    ‘We’ve tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID. Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it’s been impossible to finish the show.

    She went on: ‘I’m gutted — I’m sorry it’s so last minute, we’ve been awake for over 30 hours trying to figure it out and we’ve run out of time,’ she continued, as her voice started to break. ‘I’m so upset and I’m really embarrassed and so sorry to everyone that traveled to get [to the show]. I’m really, really sorry.’

  • Robbie Williams reveals his mother has dementia four years after his father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s

    Robbie Williams reveals his mother has dementia four years after his father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s

    Robbie Williams has revealed his mother Janet has been diagosed with dementia.

    The diagnosis comes four years after the singer revealed his dad Pete had Parkinson’s.

    The singer, 50, spoke about the diagnosis after revealing how his upcoming biopic Better Man depicts his loving relationship with his late grandmother who has dementia in the film.

    When asked about his parents thoughts on the film, Robbie told HELLO! ‘My mum’s currently got dementia – like my nan in the film – and my dad’s got Parkinsons and can’t get out of bed. So I’m in a different part of my life right now.’

    Back in 2020 Robbie revealed his father Pete had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, admitting at the time that he was fighting ‘fear and panic’ over his father’s diagnosis.

    He told The Mirror that receiving the diagnosis during Covid made things extra difficult as he and his wife Ayda and their children were self-isolating thousands of miles away from his parents in Los Angeles.

    Robbie Williams reveals his mother has dementia four years after his father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s

    Robbie Williams has revealed his mother Janet has been diagosed with dementia. The diagnosis comes four years after the singer revealed his dad Pete had Parkinson’s

    ‘We’ve got a lot of family issues right now. My dad has got Parkinson’s, my mother-in-law who I love dearly has got a very big illness. We can’t get to them. My dad is thousands of miles away.’

    Robbie added of his mum at the time: ‘My mum is just a year short of 80 and she’s in isolation and I can see the things whirling in her mind and her eyes going.’

    The former Take That star has been joined by his father Pete, who is also a singer, many times on stage.

    Robbie’s parents split in 1977. The pair also share daughter Sally, who is 11 years Robbie’s senior. 

    The pop star previously shared his worry for both of his parents during an interview with The Sun, sharing: ‘They’re of that age that is very vulnerable to what is going on, so I am speaking to them on the phone daily.’

    Robbie and his wife Ayda, 45, have a lot to contend with as Ayda also recently revealed that her mother Gwen’s cervical cancer has returned, after previous battles with breast cancer and a Parkinson’s and Lupus diagnosis.

    Speaking on her show Loose Women last month Ayda told her co-stars ‘this is a really tough thing for me to talk about.

    ‘My mother – we don’t talk about stages in our house – and I say all of this after having discussed it with my mum that I was going to potentially discuss what she was going through.

    ‘My mother said, “I so want you to tell this story, I just want to make sure it’s positive. I am going to do my best and I am going to make this positive.”

    ‘My mother has unfortunately had a return of her cervical cancer. She is also a breast cancer survivor.’

    Getting emotional, she explained: ‘So the cancer has come back and we got the news a couple of months ago and I’ve just been privately processing it. 

    ‘But when we were talking about this today and it’s breast cancer awareness month, I realised I really always wanna be authentic when I’m here and authentic with my group of friends.

    ‘It felt like this was an appropriate time to talk about the battle behind closed doors in our house.’

    Back in 2020, Ayda spoke of her mother’s previous battle with cancer on Robbie’s podcast At Home With The Williamses.

    Robbie and Ayda share Theodora, affectionately known as Teddy, 12, Charlie, nine, five-year-old Coco, and Beau, 19 months

    She said: ‘It had spread outside the cervix and was a very aggressive tumour.

    ‘Alongside her Parkinson’s and her lupus was this cancer battle, because the cancer was so big they decided that she immediately go into chemo and radiation daily and have surgery.

    ‘It was very scary as my mum with Parkinson’s, lupus, and cancer at 70 years old is prime for some bad things happening. 

    ‘So she was going to hospital every day for these treatments and I was worried she was going to pick something up.’ 

    In September Robbie and Ayda were left devastated when both of their dogs died on the same night.

    Taking to Instagram, the pop legend and his actress wife revealed their beloved pooches Poupette and Walle died together in bed, with the losses marking the ‘closing of one huge chapter’.

    In a lengthy caption, Ayda told how Poupette had been a part of her life for 18 years, being her companion before she met the former Take That star, before they went on to create a ‘blended’ dog family with the introduction of Walle a few years later.

  • Adele reveals she’s ‘run out of gas’ emotionally and physically after two-year Las Vegas residency left her ‘battered’ – as star prepares to finally conclude epic stint at Caesars Palace

    Adele reveals she’s ‘run out of gas’ emotionally and physically after two-year Las Vegas residency left her ‘battered’ – as star prepares to finally conclude epic stint at Caesars Palace

    Adele has revealed she’s ‘run out of gas’ both emotionally and physically as she prepares to end her two-year Las Vegas residency.

    The singer, 36, has been entertaining fans with her show, Weekends With Adele, at  the Colosseum at Caesars Palace since November 2022 – with the show initially getting off to a rocky start thanks to cancellations and delays.

    However, after a hugely lucrative and successful run, as well as a 10-night residency  at a purpose-built stadium in Munich, Adele is ready to hang up her microphone after the vast amount of shows left her feeling ‘battered’. 

    In a new interview ahead of her last show on Saturday, the Hello hitmaker told how she’s ready to say goodbye to her fans for an extended period of time, with Adele looking forward to enjoying plenty of bed rest and red wine – having denied herself the latter due to the impact it has on her vocal cords.

    Speaking to audience members – which included The Mirror – at one of her recent shows in Sin City, Adele said: ‘Doing four hours a weekend of completely live singing is a lot. And I chat a lot, and I’m very, very sensitive and I’m emotional. I am battered after these shows. And I take every single person on in this room into my soul, I take you home with me.’

    Further emphasising how much her epic shows have taken its toll on her, Adele joked that she looks like ‘the pigeon lady from Home Alone’, quipping she sports a ‘bedraggled’ appearance as she doesn’t get home until the early hours following her weekend shows.

    The superstar, who’s been taking to the stage every Friday and Saturday, added that she’s been on ‘full recovery’ every Sunday to Thursday and despite her ‘love’ for the shows, she’s now ready for them ‘to be over’.

    Touching on how she feels about finally completing her epic run in Vegas, Adele shared: ‘It’s a big deal to me because it’s very, very bittersweet. But this [residency] has been in my mind for four years…four years for one f***ing idea. So I’m looking forward to having loads of spare time to love on my kids, to love on my man and to love on another kid. To love on my house’

    The Hometown Glory singer added that she ‘needs’ to ‘get back to my own life’, reports the publication. 

    During an interaction with the crowd, Adele noted that her initial plans were simple – to enjoy a bottle of red wine which she previously avoided because it ‘f***s me up’, ‘dries out my vocal cords’ and gives her the ‘worst hangovers’.

    She continued: ‘Saturday night I’m probably going to have a [lot] of red wine. So that’s the most exciting thing for when the show ends! Then after that I think I’m just going to really, really veg until the end of the year. I feel like I’m early hibernating already.’ 

    Delving further into her idealistic plans once her residency ends, the Tottenham-born star revealed how she wants to ‘“stay in bed” and “watch lots of TV’, adding that the relaxing session always ‘comforts her’.

    The beauty added that she might even set herself a New Year’s resolution and may finally have time t stick to it and take it ‘seriously’.

    In July, she announced she will take a ‘big break’ from music after her run of upcoming shows.

    Her run of sell-out shows at the venue, which seats around 4,000 people, has been a success but has also taken its toll. 

    Speaking to the crowd in Munich during her last show, she began crying and said: ‘I’ve got 10 shows to do, but after that I will not see you for an incredibly long time and I will hold you dear in my heart.’ 

    Ahead of her Munich performances, she made the bombshell announcement that she does not ‘have any plans for new music at all,’ during a ZDF interview in July.

    ‘I want a big break after this and I think I want to do other creative things. Just for a little while,’ she explained to the German public service broadcaster.

    Adele has hinted that she has major plans to have another child during her ‘incredibly long’ career break.

    The music mogul doubled down on her plans for a hiatus from music onstage earlier this month during the final night of her 10-show engagement in Munich, Germany.

    It poses questions if Adele is preparing to free up space to have a baby with her fiancé Rich Paul.

    She previously shared hopes to have a daughter. 

    She already has 12-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki.

    She said: ‘Once I am done with all my ­obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby.

    ‘I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy. 

    ‘I feel like she might be like the person I love the most in the world, but also prob- ably hate the most in the world — that is what I feel will happen.

    ‘She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she?’

    Ulrika Jonsson takes a brutal swipe at Patsy Kensit by claiming she ‘doesn’t know what it’s like to be single’ after the actress ruled out finding love following split from her fiancé

    Ulrika Jonsson has taken a brutal swipe at Patsy Kensit by claiming she ‘doesn’t know what it’s like to be single,’ after the actress ruled out the prospect of finding love.

    Patsy, 56, who has been married four times, split from her fiancé Patric Cassidy in May after a whirlwind romance, and in a recent interview, said she’s given up on finding a man.

    But in the latest edition of her column for The Sun, Ulrika, 57, hit back at Patsy’s comments, questioning her claims that she’s ‘been on her own for a long time,’ noting that she’s been single for far longer.

    She wrote: ‘Dear Patsy, being on your own for a few months is not on your own for a long time. Claiming you enjoy your own company after spending the weekend away from your partner or children is not being single.

    ‘It’s all well and good spouting on about how we enjoy the freedoms of being unattached, but come to see me when you’ve done six years in the solitary wilderness of ‘singledom’, like me, then I’m more than happy to compare notes.

    Patsy who has previously been married four times, split from her fiancé Patric Cassidy in May, and in a recent interview, said she’s given up on finding a man

    ‘I find it hard to believe when I hear such a dedicated devotee of a relationship suddenly proclaiming that she will handle all that comes with a partnerless life.

    ‘I think Patsy will soon find out that talking the talk is far easier than actually walking the ”singular” walk.’

    Patsy said earlier this week that while she believes in love, she has no longer has any interest in a relationship. 

    She told Hello!: ‘I wouldn’t want a relationship, I am not interested. I do believe in love,’ she says. ‘But for me it’s not something I need, I have been on my own a long time and I like my own company. Now, it’s just adjusting my life to fill the hole that’s in my soul.  

    Patsy first married in 1988 to Dan Donovan, from 1980s pop group Big Audio Dynamite. The couple divorced in 1991. She then married Simple Minds front man Jim Kerr in 1992. the couple went on to welcome their son James in 1993 but divorced three years.

    Arguably her most famous marriage to Oasis singer Liam Gallagher came the following year and lasted until 2000. The couple share a son, Lennon. She then married Nineties DJ Jeremy Healy in 2009, but the pair split 10 months after the wedding.

    Patsy went on to reveal how in 2021 she lost everything and was forced to sell her home after her skincare brand Preciously Perfect collapsed overnight.

    ‘[My business had] financial backing and then the CEO had a stroke. I have always owned houses but I had to sell my home and totally start again. It was brutal, particularly because I have worked so hard and then suddenly I was like: “Who am I?”‘. 

    As well as starting her own business Patsy played Sadie King in Emmerdale from 2004-06 and last year, played the mum of tragic brain tumour sufferer Lola Pearce in Eastenders and was also in the Death in Paradise Christmas special.

    Patsy previously spoke candidly about her failed marriages, and earlier this year told The Mirror: ‘You don’t have to marry all of your boyfriends.

    ‘My goals always been that my sons had a really good relationship with their fathers.

    ‘For me. I haven’t spoken or had contact with those men. I am very supportive of their relationships with their fathers, but I don’t have one. I like it that way.’ 

    She reportedly ended her most recent engagement after a number of angry exchanges between the two.

    Meanwhile Ulrika, who has previously been married to Brian Monet, Lance Gerrard-Wright and John Turnbull, lifted the lid on the past five-years of her dating life in a candid admission last month.

    Ulrika also had a scandalous affair with Sven-Göran Eriksson in 2002, who was in a long-term relationship with Nany Dell’Olio at the time. He passed away in August aged 76 from pancreatic cancer.

    She admitted to finding me her age are ‘a tad dreary’ with ‘too much baggage’ as he explained why she prefers younger men. 

    Writing for her column in The Sun, Ulrika admitted: ‘The majority of the dates I’ve had over the past five years have had age gaps of decades.’

    She continued: ‘I’ve found that the men closer in age to me have turned out to be a tad dreary, set in their ways and carrying more baggage than Heathrow’s Terminal 5. I even became a therapist for some. No thanks, mate.’ 

    ‘I’ve been going through a veritable drought for the past five years, especially when it has come to suitable, interesting, good men — and I still don’t rate myself as unlucky in love.’

    The couple then had an official engagement in February, with Patric getting down on one knee on a beachfront surrounded by flowers shaped into a heart. 

    However Patsy was reportedly left ‘visibly distressed’ at a charity event in June when Patric snatched her diamond engagement ring from her hand during a row.

    Just weeks later a spokesperson for Patsy told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I can confirm they have split, and would appreciate that she is given her privacy regarding the matter. She is currently very busy working.’

    An insider added to the publication: ‘The whirlwind romance has come to a halt and the couple have decided to go their separate ways.

    ‘They have a lot of love for one another, but ultimately, she knew that they couldn’t make it work in the long-term so felt it was best not to move forward with their relationship.

    ‘Patsy has lots of exciting work opportunities at the moment, and she is throwing herself into her career.’

    The actress, 34, appears fully naked and tactically used just two tennis balls and a piece of fabric to keep her modest as she played tennis with Alex Hassell’s character Rupert Campbell Black, who is also starkers.

    However their is now altered footage circulating online suggesting she was entirely exposed.

    This misrepresentation has provoked criticism, but bears no resemblance to the authentic production.

    Emily has now shared her frustration after receiving negative comments about the nude scene and said it is her job and she is ‘playing a part’.

    The actress, 34, appears fully naked and tactically used just two tennis balls and a piece of fabric to keep her modest as she played tennis with Alex Hassell’s character Rupert Campbell Black, who is also starkers

    She told The Times: ‘I knew something like that would happen, just not this quickly. I’m at work, I’m playing a part, that scene is integral to the book. I am exactly where I need to be. I can’t control people’s sexually aggressive behaviour, but I can continue with my campaigning and fighting for women’s freedom.

    ‘I should be able to do a scene like this and not receive negative attention. The two should not go hand in hand. A woman said to me on Instagram the other day, “Pick a lane. You can’t play a racy role like that and get your clothes off and expect not to get messages. Why would you take that role?”

    ‘I wanted to say to her, “Are you telling me essentially to quit my job?” Why should I? Women have to change their clothes; we have to change our routes home. I’m a professional. I’m never going to please everybody.’ 

    It comes after Emily revealed she feels ‘sexier than ever’ after her ‘liberating’ naked tennis scene and lingerie-clad romps in Rivals. 

    As she opened up about her feelings towards her body, the Inbetweeners star told of how she’s embracing her curves and feels no pressure to lose weight after welcoming baby Barney in June.

    In her new role, Emily, who plays the wife of the Deputy Prime Minister, Sarah Stratton also strips down to black lingerie for a romp all within the first 25 minutes of the first episode. 

    Explaining that she’s more than happy with her body, Emily told Hello!: ‘People keep asking me if I’m going to the gym but I’m not. I’m a mum, I’ve got rolly bits and I’m healthy, feeling sexier than ever and playing a bombshell in an amazing series.

    ‘In my teens all I wanted to be was a size eight or 10. Our value always depends on what size we are and it shouldn’t be that way.’

    Speaking of the iconic scene, Emily reflected: ‘Of course it was nerve-racking but by the end, but by the end of the day I felt very liberated. It’s such a famous scene in the book and I wanted to get it right.’

    She previously stressed that she was unbothered by the prospect of baring all, explaining on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X that she was more intimidated by the thought of playing tennis.

    ‘It was so funny, because when they sent me the script, they said, “You know, you’re going to have to play tennis naked.” That was one of the things they said. And I said, “Disney, there is no way on Earth you’re going to get me to play tennis!”

    ‘That’s genuinely what I was worried about. I was like, “No way!” But yeah. So, once I got past all that bit, read the script, I was like, “Yeah, this is made for me, this role.” Those roles come along very rarely, and it just spoke to me.’

    Reflecting on the sex scenes, she added: ‘When you’re there and you’re doing it, it’s really not what it seems in in real life. Like, when you’re doing a sex scene, for example, there’s nothing sexy about it! It’s hilarious! 

    ‘You know, we all get the giggles, but we’re all very professional. And in this day and age, you have intimacy coordinators, it’s a very different thing.

    ‘You have people putting a robe on you as soon as they yell cut, you know? And also, it really helps when you have someone like Alex Hassell, who’s just the loveliest gentleman in the world. 

    ‘And yeah, as long as everybody is safe and being professional, and getting on with it, yeah, I’m just there, doing my job, having a lovely time!’

    It comes after the actress stressed that stripping off for sexy scenes in her career does not undermine her campaigning to end violence against women.

    Speaking on Loose Women about her new raunchy role in the series, Emily credited the show for touching on sensitive subjects ‘brilliantly’.

    After the racy tennis scene, Emily gets intimate with her on-screen husband while a gay couple performs oral sex in a parallel scene.

    In the sex montage, the camera then pans to Danny Dyer, who plays Freddie Jones, and David Tennant, who stars as Tony, jumping into bed naked with Nafessa Williams, who plays Cameron – despite his wife at home alone.

    ‘He put up a story about it last night… Ryan Reynolds has seen my bum!’

    Emily has been praised for her racy performance in the raucous Disney+ series, and was completely nude in the eye-popping scene, where she protects her modesty with a just tennis ball and racket.

    She previously stressed that she was unbothered by the prospect of baring all, explaining on The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X that she was more intimidated by the thought of playing tennis.

    ‘It was so funny, because when they sent me the script, they said, “You know, you’re going to have to play tennis naked.” That was one of the things they said. And I said, “Disney, there is no way on Earth you’re going to get me to play tennis!”

    ‘That’s genuinely what I was worried about. I was like, “No way!” But yeah. So, once I got past all that bit, read the script, I was like, “Yeah, this is made for me, this role.” Those roles come along very rarely, and it just spoke to me.’

    After the racy tennis scene, Emily gets intimate with her on-screen husband while a gay couple performs oral sex in a parallel scene.

    In the sex montage, the camera then pans to Danny Dyer, who plays Freddie Jones, and David Tennant, who stars as Tony, jumping into bed naked with Nafessa Williams, who plays Cameron – despite his wife at home alone.

    In her new role, Emily, who plays the wife of the Deputy Prime Minister, Sarah Stratton, appears fully naked to play tennis with Alex Hassell's character Rupert Campbell Black

    Reflecting on the sex scenes, she added: ‘When you’re there and you’re doing it, it’s really not what it seems in in real life. Like, when you’re doing a sex scene, for example, there’s nothing sexy about it! It’s hilarious! 

    ‘You know, we all get the giggles, but we’re all very professional. And in this day and age, you have intimacy coordinators, it’s a very different thing.

    ‘You have people putting a robe on you as soon as they yell cut, you know? And also, it really helps when you have someone like Alex Hassell, who’s just the loveliest gentleman in the world. 

    ‘And yeah, as long as everybody is safe and being professional, and getting on with it, yeah, I’m just there, doing my job, having a lovely time!’

    Emily even revealed that she has a fan in Hollywood superstar Ryan Reynolds.

    Recounting the premiere for the new series, she said: ‘The premier was great. And yeah, everyone seems to be loving it. So, it’s great. Ryan Reynolds spoke about it on Instagram.

    ‘He put up a story about it last night… Ryan Reynolds has seen my bum!’

    Emily has been outspoken about body positivity after a wave of cruel comments from trolls about her fluctuating weight over the years.

    It comes after Emily insisted the world needs her new Disney+ series Rivals' as an escape from reality, during an interview on Monday's Loose Women

    She told Stylist that she doesn’t let the trolls get her down, regardless of where she sits on the scales, explaining: ‘Luckily I have a wonderful life full of love and friendship and I have my health, so I take strength from that. 

    ‘I won’t bow to a stranger who felt a desire to call me out on my double chins.’ 

    On Monday, Emily insisted ‘the world needs’ her new Disney+ series Rivals as an escape from reality, during an interview on Loose Women.

    The actress stressed that stripping off for sexy scenes in her career does not undermine her campaigning to end violence against women.

    Speaking to Ruth Langsford, Coleen Nolan, Katie Piper and Brenda Edwards about her new raunchy role in the series, Emily credited the show for touching on sensitive subjects ‘brilliantly’.

    She said: ‘I think the world needs this at the moment and it is escapism. It touches on really sensitive subjects and it does it brilliantly.

    ‘It’s very unusual, a different dynamic to navigate but it shows to me that finally people are understanding that these things need to be in place.

    ‘The perverts have killed the fun, the Me Too movement has put all these amazing things into place.’

    Emily earlier this year starred in a 'provocative' campaign using the slogan 'I'm asking for it' which calls for a change in the laws on rape and sexual assault

    She continued: ‘I am actually fine with it [stripping] you know. People think you can’t do both. [campaign for women against sexual harassments while going nude on TV].

    ‘I’m exactly where I was meant to be, we have intimacy coordinators, we are all being professionals.

    ‘I am not going to change what I am doing, it’s my work, it’s the other people that have to watch what they are doing.’

  • Pauley Perrette on Leaving Acting for Authenticity

    Pauley Perrette on Leaving Acting for Authenticity

    Pauley Perrette said she has zero plans to go back to acting in television or film.

    The 55-year-old actress, who is known for playing Abby Sciuto in NCIS from 2003 to 2018, declared that she will ‘never again’ return to acting.

    Now she said she wants to prioritize a ‘life of true authenticity.’

    ‘Going back to being an actor would be taking away form this life of true authenticity that I’m living 100 percent of the time,’ she told HELLO! in an article published on Tuesday. 

    This comes after she departed from her role as the brilliant but offbeat forensic scientist of NCIS following a rumored row with her co-star Mark Harmon, which led to her promptly retired from acting.

    Regarding her return to the long-running military police procedural series, she completely ruled it out. 

    ‘I’m not ungrateful for the benefits that it gave to me,’ she continued. 

    ‘But I’m a different person now, and I want to be here for it — the good and the bad and the painful.’

    Perrette added: ‘I want to be me all the time, and it takes a good amount of courage for me to say that to myself but it’s authentically how I feel.’

    Perrette is now executive producing documentaries.

    ‘At this point in my life, I have this deep need to find authenticity in everything, and being an actor, especially at certain points in my life, was a great escape,’ she explained.

    ‘It’s like a drug because I didn’t have to be me, I could be somebody else,’ she said. ‘My character didn’t have all of the problems that I was having.’

    However, she said she is drawn to documentary filmmaking because she seeks out ‘truth’ and ‘authenticity.’

    ‘It’s why I only watch documentaries, I want the truth,’ she said.

    Back in 2018, Perrette exited the long-running series due to an alleged falling with her co-star, Mark Harmon.

    The strained working environment was rumored to have stemmed from an escalated incident involving Harmon’s dog after the actor’s pooch allegedly bit Perrette on set and caused her to become ‘terrified’ of her co-star. 

    She previously took to X, formerly Twitter, to ‘multiple physical assaults’ but did not name Harmon explicitly. 

    In June 2019, three years after she left NCIS, she tweeted: ”NO I AM NOT COMING BACK! EVER! (Please stop asking?) I am terrified of Harmon and him attacking me. I have nightmares about it. I have a new show that is SAFE AND HAPPY! You’ll love it! #HappyPlace Love y’all! 

    Afterwards, she was casted as the series lead of a new family sitcom titled Broke.

    In the show, she starred as Jackie Dixon, a single mother who has to take in her wealthy sister’s family when they lose all their money. The show was canceled after its first season. 

    After the show was canceled, Perrette announced her retirement and revealed she initially planned to quit acting after departing from NCIS. 

    ‘Actually I retired after NCIS but BROKE was important, beautiful,’ she wrote on X in 2020.

    ‘I did my last dance & am proud of it! Everyone that knows me knew I was retiring right after. I’m proud of my work. I love you guys! I AM FREE!!! (To be the tiny little simple human I am!) #Plants #RescuePets #Books.’ 

    Prior to gaining widespread fame for portraying the beloved forensic scientist in NCIS, she appeared in Dawson’s Creek, The Ring, Almost Famous, Frasier and Time of Your Life.

    Eva Herzigova, 51, stuns in leopard-print at Milan Fashion Week

    Eva Herzigová looked stunning at the Santoni Riviera presentation for the Spring/Summer 2025 Women’s Collection at Milan Fashion Week on Friday.

    The supermodel, 51, put on a glamorous display in a white, button-down blouse with short sleeves and a leopard-print pencil skirt at the show held at the Galleria Meravigli.

    Teamed with the midi skirt, she sported a pair of knee-high boots with black suede and red bottoms.

    She showcased her natural beauty in a light and dewy makeup look with a glossy, mauve pink lip.

    The actress — who turned heads in a leather haute couture gown while walking the Roberto Cavalli runway show earlier this week — styled her dirty blonde hair in bouncy, bombshell curls, which she flipped to one side.

    Later, she was also seen carrying an animal-print jacket that matched her chic skirt in her hand.

    At the presentation, she also posed for a snap alongside Giuseppe Santoni, the Italian shoemaker and CEO of his eponymous brand. 

    This comes after Herzigová uprooted her family’s lives to move her three sons from London to Italy in September 2020. 

    The Czech beauty shares three sons — George, 16, Phillipe, 13, and 11-year-old Edward — with her husband, businessman Gregorio Marsiaj. 

    In a previous interview with HELLO!, she opened up about her experience with and passion for motherhood.

    ‘I breathe for my boys and there are times when my husband reminds me to be a bit more selfish and to think of myself as well,’ she told the outlet. 

    After giving birth to her eldest son, she said that she had a good pregnancy. 

    ‘When my girlfriends were pregnant and told me about birthing, I found those stories unsettling and scary,’ she said. ‘But when I was pregnant myself, I didn’t worry at all. I was looking forward to it.

    The former Wonderbra model continued: ‘When I was pregnant, George slept whenever I slept. We were so in sync.’ 

    About giving birth, she added: ‘When it was time to actually give birth, I wanted to experience every second of the birth and even wanted to be alone for quite some time. But in the end, I did request getting an epidural.’ 

    She and her husband are celebrating 23 years together this month. 

    The couple first met in 2002 and later announced their engagement in 2017. 

    She was previously married to musician Tico Torres from 1996 to 1998.

    Peter Phillips caused a headache for the Royal Family when he sold the photographic rights of his wedding to Autumn Kelly to Hello! magazine for a sum thought to be £500,000.

    Queen Elizabeth, is said to have banned such deals as a result.

    Now Norway’s Princess Martha Louise, who stepped down as a senior member of her country’s royal family, and is due to wed Durek Verrett, a bisexual ‘shaman’, has sparked a similar row.

    The couple have granted exclusive access to their wedding to Hello! and Norwegians are not happy.

    As strong-willed servant Prudie in the BBC’s hit drama Poldark, Beatie Edney helped see off the Cornish family’s enemies.

    In real life, she’s struggling with a modern menace: thoughtless bike riders. ‘Just been knocked over by a male cyclist on the pavement rounding a corner,’ says the actress, 61.

    ‘I’m disabled; I’m walking my dog. Why are people cycling on pavements?’

    Beatie, adds: ‘Why can’t cyclists follow the Highway Code? I’m fed up with it.’ As her Poldark character would say: ‘T’int Right, T’int Fair, T’int Fit, T’int Proper.’

    Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle’s trip is a ‘howler’ 

    House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle, an enthusiastic globetrotter, has just made an official visit to the Cayman Islands, complete with a gleaming white Range Rover limousine.

    Jewellery dealer and Queen’s pal Harry leaves £5.6m in will 

    When Harry Fane went into business selling objets d’art with Queen Camilla’s late brother, Mark Shand, in the 1970s, they were ‘like posh swagmen in linen suits’, Shand later said.

    ‘With sacks of beautiful booty over our shoulders, we hit the rich and famous, the old and new wealth in the money-drenched capitals of the Americas: Caracas, New York, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Palm Beach, and Miami.’

    Harry Fane (pictured), who died last December aged 70, left more than £5.6 million in his will

    The pair couldn’t avoid the odd scrape however, and were once, after buying human skulls, chased by Indonesian paramilitaries wielding M16s.

    Probate documents published this week disclose that Fane, who died last December aged 70, left more than £5.6 million in his will.

    The vintage jewellery dealer – a close friend of Camilla – left his estate in trust for his wife Tessa and their two children.

    ‘He was one of Mark’s very best friends,’ the Queen’s son, Tom Parker Bowles, told me after his death.

    ‘One of those rare people who one was always delighted to see.’
