  • Who is the 55-year-old star with connections to Reese Witherspoon, Ben Affleck, and Brad Pitt?

    Who is the 55-year-old star with connections to Reese Witherspoon, Ben Affleck, and Brad Pitt?

    She recently turned 55-years-old.

    And on her big day she shared tons of flashback photos.

    This one below is very rare as it saw her in a football jersey holding a football when she was a teenager living in Los Angeles.

    She is hard to recognize because she was a brunette way back then when growing up in California’s San Fernando Valley.

    These days she is a A lister who stars on an Apple TV+ series.

    Over her career she has worked with Reese Witherspoon, Ben Affleck, Jim Carrey, Owen Wilson, Jason Bateman, Clive Owen and Jake Gyllenhaal.

    And there is a Brad Pitt link. 

    Who is she? 

    She recently turned 55-years-old. And on her big day she shared tons of flashback photos. This one below is very rare as it saw her in a football jersey holding a football when she was a teen. Who is she?

    She recently turned 55-years-old. And on her big day she shared tons of flashback photos. This one below is very rare as it saw her in a football jersey holding a football when she was a teen. Who is she?

    She is Jennifer Aniston.

    She turned 55-years-old on Super Bowl Sunday.

    And the Friends actress was quick to take to Instagram to wish herself a happy birthday.

    The looker also shared several flashback photos from her younger years, and some seemed to be very rare, like the one above of her holding a football. 

    In her post she said she was ‘grateful’ for her life.

    The star also quotes The Layers by Stanley Kunitz

    ‘I have walked through many lives, some of them my own, and I am not who I was, though some principle of being abides, from which I struggle not to stray.

    ‘When I look behind, as I am compelled to look before I can gather strength to proceed on my journey, I see the milestones dwindling toward the horizon and the slow fires trailing from the abandoned camp-sites, over which scavenger  angels wheel on heavy wings.’

    There was also a passage about ‘living in the layers, not on the litter.’

    Salma Hayek also shared a tribute as she posed with the Emmy winning star. 

    And Reese also shared a sweet photo while wishing her costar well.

    This comes after the star was seen in a Super Bowl ad with David Schwimmer.

    The actress enjoyed a mini Friends reunion with her on-screen love-interest from the show Schwimmer, 57, in a new Uber Eats commercial for the Super Bowl.

    The minute-long spot features several stars including David and Victoria Beckham in addition to country music sensation Jelly Roll but it was the former co-stars’ interaction which was highlighted most of all.

    The premise of the funny commercial actually begins with Jennifer who receives a bag of different goods including flowers and shampoo from Uber Eats which is handed by a production assistant.

    As she hands the bag to the A-lister she tells the star that she didn’t remember that you could get ‘all this stuff on Uber Eats.’

    There was also a passage about 'living in the layers, not on the litter'

    Jennifer replies: ‘Well you know what they say; in order to remember something you’ve got to forget something else. Make a little room.’

    Then come  a bunch of hilarious situations where individuals order Uber Eats but forget something that is relatively common knowledge.

    In the middle of the spot, Jennifer is standing on set holding her bag from Uber Eats as David arrives on set.

    He greets her very nonchalantly and goes in for a hug but his former castmate looks a bit thrown off and it gets a bit more awkward as she doesn’t even move her bag as he goes in for a hug.

    Jennifer hilariously queries: ‘Um, have we met?’

    Her biggest hit in 2023 was her work with a brand, 

    She has been working with Pvolve, which the Morning Show actress said has changed her approach to fitness.

    Aniston had one of the most famous romances in television history with David Schwimmer but she did not seem to remember him in a hilarious new commercial

    After spending years ‘breaking her body,’ Aniston was thrilled to find Pvolve, she has said.

    ‘With this program, you can start gentle,’ explained the star. ‘You can restore your body.’

    She said it is an innovative method that she ‘instantly fell in love with.’ The star has also shared earlier this year: ‘So proud to support our female founder and the beyond talented trainers. This is one of my favorite workouts… and I’m so grateful for the team and excited for what’s to come.’ 

    Through low-impact movement and resistance-based equipment, Pvolve users achieve not only aesthetic results, mobility, and stability but also feel more confident and energized, she has said.

    Over the last year, Aniston has incorporated Pvolve’s patented equipment—like the P.ball, P.band, and P.3 Trainer—into her routine. 

    As an authentic fan, she joined Pvolve to assist with key areas of the business and bring awareness to the method that’s transformed her idea of fitness, the press release has stated.

    She was seen flashing her midsection in a bra top and leggings for new images to promote her collaboration with Pvolve, an exercise program that pairs functional movement with resistance-based equipment.

    Dani Coleman, Aniston’s Pvolve Trainer, also told DailyMail.com, ‘Our on-demand library offers classes across a variety of lengths and levels so you can start slow and work your way to more advanced training. 

    ‘For someone newer to exercise, we recommend starting off with our Moves & Equipment tutorial page (under filters tab in Collections) to learn the foundations of the method and then continue with our Get Started category. Pvolve’s Live Virtual Studio also allows you to stream classes live so you can interact with the instructor.’

    The Hollywood it girl started working with the program after hurting her back two years ago. 

    And she claims Pvolve helps ‘strengthen and restore’ her body through its on-demand classes.

    ‘As we get into our lovely older periods, we have to keep it exciting. And we have to be kinder to our bodies,’ the Friends vet told People this week.

    Partners: Rachel also shared the clip as she added, '4 weeks of mine and @jenniferaniston favorite classes. Come workout with us @pvolve'

    And she has told her pals to get on it. 

    ‘I like to find something that really works and then share it with my girlfriends,’ Aniston noted.

    ‘If I had known about it 20 years ago when I was breaking my body to begin with, we would’ve saved so much pain.’

    Aniston went to Pvolve founder Rachel Katzman to talk about working together to promote the program.

    ‘I just want more people to know about it because I think it’s so good,’ the actress added.

    She says likes how the program is different. 

    ‘Our minds used to think, we have to hurt; no pain, no gain. It has to be an hour of a workout. You have to work out three times a day. 

    ‘With this, you can start gentle,’ she explained. 

    ‘My girlfriend transformed her entire body, and it just had such a beautiful snowball effect in so many positive areas of her life.’

    The star added, ‘It was so user-friendly, you just start in little tiny chunks, tiny steps. And then next thing you know, you’ve done four 20-minute classes because you just want to keep going.’

    Aniston has been able to maintain her incredible size 2 shape even as she has settled into her 50s.

    In April 2022, the Morning Show actress shared with First For Women magazine how she is able to look so youthful even as she works full time on her acting career and heads up companies like LolaVie Haircare.

    The 5ft5in cover girl admitted that she keeps her diet in check by starting her day off with warm lemon water and she also takes climbing classes on her stair climber. But the best part of her day is the time she sets aside to meditate, she said.

    In the section titled Curbs Cravings: Breakfast With A Twist, the blonde beauty said: ‘During quarantine I loved cooking.’

    The Cake actress added: ‘When I wake up I have warm lemon water, then a shake or avocado and eggs. I found ways to make eggs every which way.’

    The ex-wife of Oscar-winning actor Brad Pitt then shared: ‘But I also do oatmeal with an egg white whipped in.

    ‘Do it right before the oatmeal is finished cooking – it gives extra protein and this fluffy texture that’s delicious.’

    In an interview with Radio Times, Aniston revealed that intermittent fasting (IF) has changed her life.

    She practices a version of IF called the 16:8 diet.

    ‘I do intermittent fasting, so no food in the morning. I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours.’ 

    As far as working out, she told First For Women that puts in the work but likes variety.

    ‘Changing up my workout routine is key,’ she began. ‘I always try to surprise my muscles.’

    She said she works out at Rise Nation, which is a fitness climbing cardio class.

    ‘It’s such a great workout,’ she said.

    ‘And when my trainer Leyon, whom I love more than life, handed me a jump rope for the first time, I said, “You’re out of your mind,”‘ added the star, who boasts a 23in waistline.

    ‘I would dread doing it and I would skip instead of jump over the rope,’ added the Los Angeles native.

    ‘He kept saying, “No, do it correctly.” It was so irritating,’ shared the daughter of soap opera actor John Aniston.

    ‘But within six months my jumping became fluid. Now I can just go and go and go.’

    For her skin, she treats herself to a mini facial once a week. 

    And the siren said that one of the things she looks forward to the most is meditation in a quiet, comfortable space.

    ‘It’s my favorite moment,’ said the ex-wife of Justin Theroux, whom she has stayed good friends with.

    ‘I wish we could freeze time in that magic hour because there’s a lot of taking it all in, the appreciation of the day.’

    Also doing yoga, sitting quietly and writing helps her focus on calm.

    And shockingly, she said doing dishes is very relaxing for her as she likes to keep her kitchen tidy.

    And Aniston has gotten into organizing her Bel-Air, California mansion which she shares with dogs.

    In November, Jennifer shared a post for Matthew Perry, who died at age 54 at home in Los Angeles on October 28.

    Oh boy this one has cut deep… Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before,’ began Aniston.’

    ‘We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep,’ she added as she remarked that it was always the ‘6 of us’ on Friends.

    She ended with, ‘Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying “could you BE any crazier?” Rest little brother. You always made my day…’

    ‘And when my trainer Leyon, whom I love more than life, handed me a jump rope for the first time, I said, “You’re out of your mind,”‘ added the star, who boasts a 23in waistline.

    ‘I would dread doing it and I would skip instead of jump over the rope,’ added the Los Angeles native.

    ‘He kept saying, “No, do it correctly.” It was so irritating,’ shared the daughter of soap opera actor John Aniston.

    ‘But within six months my jumping became fluid. Now I can just go and go and go.’

    For her skin, she treats herself to a mini facial once a week. 

    And the siren said that one of the things she looks forward to the most is meditation in a quiet, comfortable space.

    ‘It’s my favorite moment,’ said the ex-wife of Justin Theroux, whom she has stayed good friends with.

    ‘I wish we could freeze time in that magic hour because there’s a lot of taking it all in, the appreciation of the day.’

    Also doing yoga, sitting quietly and writing helps her focus on calm.

    And shockingly, she said doing dishes is very relaxing for her as she likes to keep her kitchen tidy.

    And Aniston has gotten into organizing her Bel-Air, California mansion which she shares with dogs.

    In November, Jennifer shared a post for Matthew Perry, who died at age 54 at home in Los Angeles on October 28.

    Oh boy this one has cut deep… Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before,’ began Aniston.’

    ‘We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep,’ she added as she remarked that it was always the ‘6 of us’ on Friends.

    She ended with, ‘Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying “could you BE any crazier?” Rest little brother. You always made my day…’

    The performer, born Austin Post, then sent a shout-out to ‘all my Cowboy fans,’ which was met with some boos from the audience.

    It was initially revealed that Post Malone had been contacted to sing America The Beautiful at the upcoming Super Bowl this past January.

    The song was performed by Babyface during last year’s Super Bowl, which took place in Glendale, Arizona.

    The rapper will also be joined by Reba McEntire, who will sing The Star-Spangled Banner at the event.

    Andra Day is set to perform Lift Every Voice And Sing prior to the start of the annual game.

    Bebe Rexha showed her support for Post Malone during an interview with Us Weekly, and she predicted that the rapper would greatly impress viewers with his rendition of the song.

    She stated that the performer was ‘very talented, he’s a very good writer, and his voice is actually really good. I just love his [music].’

    The singer added: ‘What I’m being told is Post wants to go more country…if Post does do a country singer-songwriter project, I think it’s going to blow a lot of people out of the water.’

  • David and Victoria Beckham’s Secret to Cracking America After 25 Years as Their A-List Empire Grows

    David and Victoria Beckham’s Secret to Cracking America After 25 Years as Their A-List Empire Grows

    The Beckhams will appear on the living rooms of over 120 million Americans as they appear in a lucrative advert during the much anticipated Superbowl this Sunday.

    Starring alongside the likes of Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer and Usher, the pair will take part in a comical skit as part of a multi-million pound advert for Uber Eats.

    On such a big sporting night, it is quite something for David and Victoria to be involved in a major highlight on the American calendar. 

    Those close to the pair believe it is proof that after more than 25 years of being British A listers, they have finally managed to crack America, something which they are ‘thrilled’ about.

    Even when David and his family arrived to a huge fanfare to play for LA Galaxy in 2007, and his face was emblazoned across billboards throughout Los Angeles, Victoria was able to go about her business relatively unnoticed in Hollywood.

    The Mail exclusively reveal the secret to how David and Victoria Beckham finally cracked America after 25 years as the A-listers' empire continues to grow

    And The Mail can reveal the key to their success is a rather unlikely one – America’s biggest influencer, Kim Kardashian.

    Thanks to Victoria’s once-troubled business being such a hit in the US, she has attracted some high profile new friends, including the Instagram sensation.

    Kim’s support has led to the Beckhams being ‘ridiculously powerful’ to some of the world’s biggest brands.

    The women have become close friends after meeting on the ‘Los Angeles’ circuit and last summer she was a star guest at David’s Inter Miami football club when Lionel Messi made his debut.

    A friend of the Beckhams said: ‘Victoria has been an absolute hit in America as she has worked and worked at making her business work out there.

    ‘She has made some very high profile connections, including Kim. You get Kim to Instagram about you and you are going to be seen by 346 million people who are following her. It has been a master stroke.

    ‘David’s football team has been huge, especially signing Messi. It’s cool and it’s A list central.’

    Sources close to the Beckhams also cite the successful Netflix documentary, Beckham, as the reason for their huge rise in profile.

    The three-parter was the most watched show on the streaming giant in America for several weeks last year, giving an insight into the A-lister’s fascinating lives. 

    The final scene of David and Victoria, who turns 50 in April, singing to Dolly Parton’s Islands in the Stream went viral across the globe too.

    Meanwhile, another factor – perhaps the most surprising -is their beloved eldest son, Brooklyn, 24, who has become a social media superstar in America since he married actress and heiress Nicola Peltz, 29,

    Nicola, who is the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz, and Brooklyn have become extremely desirable to brands such as Tiffany & Co, Pepsi and Pepe jeans.

    One friend told The Mail on Sunday: ‘How ironic that Brooklyn has contributed to his parents’ fame and standing in America.

    ‘He and Nicola are absolutely huge, household names, and now David and Victoria are following suit.’

    Insiders at Uber Eats say that bosses snapped up the Beckhams for millions of pounds after learning how huge they had become in America.

    On Sunday they will be seen in a comical clip where they will jokingly forget the name of Victoria’s pop group, the Spice Girls.

    ‘Remember when you used to be a pepper lady?’ asks David, while Victoria – dressed in a t-shirt which says ‘David’s wife’ appears confused. 

    She then replies: ‘Wasn’t it the cinnamon sisters? Or Paprika girls?’ to advertise Uber Eats just weeks after son Brooklyn opened a pop up restaurant with the company.

    The Beckhams also recreated the viral moment from their recent documentary, where David tells his wife to be ‘honest’ about her middle class upbringing as she wears another t-shirt that says: ‘My Dad Had a Rolls-Royce’ as a nod to her father Tony driving her to school in the plush car.

    David is also about to be unveiled as the face of Stella Artois, and he recently signed as an ambassador for Nespresso coffee.

    Louise Thompson’s fans express concern on her recent Instagram post as she continues to be in hospital

    Louise Thompson’s fans have flooded her last Instagram post with concerned comments following her hospitalisation.

    The former Made In Chelsea star, 33, was admitted to hospital late last month following a series of health issues since giving birth to her son Leo, two. 

    Her fiancé Ryan Libbey has shared an update this week, telling fans that she has been in hospital for two weeks.

    Before Louise’s latest health scare, she was posting photos from her family trip with Ryan, Leo and her father to Antigua And Barbuda.

    Her last post from January 28 featured a carousel of snaps of herself with little Leo, alongside which she wrote an emotive caption about ‘learning to lean into and be grateful for those imperfect in-between moments because nothing lasts forever.’

    Fans have now been commented on the poignant post, offering Louise ‘healing thoughts’.

    ‘Sending you and your beautiful family warmth and strength, hope you feel better soon dear Louise,’ wrote one concerned follower. 

    ‘What you are going through is tough, Louise, no doubt about that… However, you are Tougher young lady, just look at how far you have come and written a book. What an inspiration you are . Stay Strong, you’ve got this,’ another commented. 

    ‘I saw Ryan’s story. I truly hope you’re doing ok and are well. Look after yourselves,’ added another.

    One fan wrote that they were ‘missing your presence! Sending healing vibes!’ 

    Taking to Instagram on Monday evening, Ryan, 33, said he had taken Leo to visit Louise for the first time since she was admitted. 

    The personal trainer, who has not disclosed why Louise is in hospital, wrote on Instagram: ‘We just got back from visiting mummy in hospital. 

    ‘That was the first time Leo has seen her for 13 days. It was a difficult, emotional, confusing experience for him but fortunately after a few minutes Leo was cuddling up in bed with mummy singing twinkle, twinkle little star.

    ‘The video I took is probably the most precious thing I now own. Louise is recovering well. 

    ‘Thank you all again so much for the messages of support’. 

    Louise has been open about complications with her health after she nearly died during her son’s birth. 

    The reality star spent five weeks in hospital suffering with ‘serious complications’ in 2021.

    She has contended with a myriad of physical issues since the traumatic birth alongside Ulcerative Colitis, which she was diagnosed with before falling pregnant. 

    Ulcerative Colitis is a chronic bowel condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed and small ulcers can develop on the colon’s lining, which can bleed.

    Ryan announced on Sunday that his partner was in hospital, writing in an Instagram story: ‘We don’t know when she will be ready to come home yet’ 

    Louise has also battled post-traumatic stress disorder and post-natal anxiety, admitting during one week in January 2022 that she cried up to 20 times. 

    Ryan wrote on Sunday: ‘Louise has been in hospital for 12 days now. We don’t know when she will be ready to come home yet. 

    ‘But thank you to everyone who has sent messages of love and support to our family. It does help.’

    Ryan also shared a selfie of himself and the couple’s son Leo, alongside the caption: ‘We’re missing mummy everyday.’

    In December, Louise shared how she felt ‘slightly lost’ during the Christmas break after making herself ‘silly levels of busy’ in a bid to manage her struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder.

    And taking to Instagram to share a lengthy post, Louise admitted that in a bid to occupy herself she’s become ‘so tired she could keel over on the kitchen floor,’ and has struggled to slow down during the festive break.

    The TV personality added that in 2024 she is focused on ‘getting well’ and ‘pausing’ is a ‘project she needs to sink her teeth into.’

    Louise also reflected on a challenging period she endured last New Year’s Eve, when she had a ‘horrendous re-living state of total delirium,’ remembering the previous year, which she’d spent in A&E.

    The couple welcomed Leo in November 2021 and they later revealed both Louise and their son nearly died during labour.

    They did not announce the arrival of their child for five weeks after serious complications during the birth.

    On December 23, 2021, Louise announced the birth of her son on her Instagram page and revealed she had been discharged from hospital to recover at home. 

    She said: ‘5 weeks ago I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy Leo-Hunter Libbey weighing in at 7lbs. Unfortunately it wasn’t the easiest start for either of us. One ended up in NICU and the other ended up in ICU.

    Louise said that Leo recovered quickly, but she had to deal with ‘many bad things’, saying: ‘To dance with death twice brings a whole new view of the world.’

    In December, two years after Leo’s birth, she reflected on the time since the traumatic series of events.

    She said: ‘Here’s a reminder that a lot can change in a year. A lot can change in 6 months. Indeed a lot can change in a month but it’s hard to witness the change until you create some sizeable distance from it.

    ‘I’m crying writing this. I’m feeling very emotional today. I can’t lie it feels nice to purge my pain. I encourage you to try writing and crying too. 

    ‘Sometimes it helps. But the main reason I’m writing this is because I really want you guys to know that you must keep moving forward. Don’t give up. Because there will be a time when you will want to wear a pretty party dress again. You will shine again.’

    The reality star announced last month she is releasing a book, Lucky, where she will tell the story of the near-death experience.  

     

  • Jana Hocking’s Controversial Claims about Australian Men Sparks Debate with Karl Stefanovic on the Today Show

    Jana Hocking’s Controversial Claims about Australian Men Sparks Debate with Karl Stefanovic on the Today Show

    Sydney dating guru Jana Hocking has locked horns with Today show host Karl Stefanovic over her belief that Australian men are ‘duds’ when it comes to courting.

    The glamorous columnist had ruffled feathers last week when she complained in an article for Daily Mail Australia that men on the Australian dating scene are often overweight, unkempt and poorly dressed. 

    Jana doubled down on her belief that Aussie men are ‘duds’ during an appearance on Monday’s Today show, telling hosts Karl Stefanovic and Sarah Abo: ‘They’re just lazy’. 

    ‘They turn up to dates in board shorts, if you turn up to a date. Because first they’ll ask you, “Just come to my house”. Like I’ve never had so many Uber eats in my life!’ she lamented. 

    Jana also complained that men will ask her to meet them at the pub, and then spend the whole night watching the footy or cricket on television.

    Karl wasn’t convinced, interjecting: ‘Isn’t that a good date, though?’ 

    ‘No! That is a horrible date!’ Jana exclaimed, adding: ‘We live near beaches. We’ve got art galleries!’ 

    ‘Who wants to go to an art gallery?’ Karl scoffed. ‘You’re not going to find a real man who wants to do that.’

    Jana proceeded to implore Australian men to ‘lift their game’ by wearing cologne, checking for bad breath and regularly brushing their teeth. 

    ‘Like, I’ve had guys drop farts on dates. I’ve had guys turn up and ripped bodies in thongs. Is it too much to ask to just take us for a nice drink?’ she later added.

    Karl refused to budge, however, wrapping up the segment by declaring: ‘I still think Aussie guys are the best.’

    ‘The one thing New Yorkers don’t do is overthink things. It’s a numbers game and those numbers will occasionally be in your favour,’ she wrote. 

    ‘Ladies, honestly if you are hankering for some good ol’ fashioned flirting in a city that can’t get enough of an Aussie accent you gotta book that trip.’ 

    Jana subsequently revealed that she’d received a barrage of angry messages from Australian men, ‘ranting on and on and on about how we women are all too stuck up these days’.

    While attending a Chase Bank event in Miami Beach, Florida, the Your Place or Mine star, 45, looked sharp in a charcoal grey suit, white button-down and brown leather loafers. 

    As he walked outside, alongside a man wearing a name tag on his blazer, the father-of-two was seen holding a notebook in his left hand. 

    The venture capital investor, who made millions as an early investor in successful startups such as Skype, Uber, Airbnb, Spotify and Warby Parker, appeared relaxed as he spoke with another attendee.

    Earlier this week, he attended another function for Chase Bank, which marked his first public event since he and his wife Mila Kunis were slammed for supporting their That ’70s Show co-star and convicted rapist.

    Masterson, 47 – who was recently moved to a maximum security prison that previously housed cult leader Charles Manson – was convicted last May of raping two women in the early 2000s and sentenced to at least 30 years in prison.

    It was uncovered in September that Ashton and his spouse, 40, had penned letters to the judge on Masterson’s behalf begging for ‘leniency’ after the trial.

    In response to the backlash, the couple issued a poorly-received video apology and Ashton stepped down as chair of his anti-sex trafficking organization Thorn.

    Following the Danny Masterson backlash, insiders claimed Mila and Ashton were worried that the ‘damage of it all’ could be detrimental to their careers.

    ‘We are aware of the pain that has been caused by the character letters we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson,’ Ashton began in their short Instagram apology video.

    ‘We support victims,’ Mila, added. ‘We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future.’ The comments on the post were disabled.

    Critics were quick to take to X to unleash their dismay over the ‘lawyered’ apology.

    The couple reportedly chose to stay out of the spotlight for the last several months in the hopes that people would ‘forget’ about the ordeal.

    The situation also saw their own relationship called into question, with many highlighting that Mila was only 14-years-old when she was cast in That 70’s Show, alongside a then-19-year-old Ashton.

    Ashton and Mila tied the knot in 2015 and share two children: daughter Wyatt, nine, and son Dimitri, seven.

    It was revealed on Wednesday that Masterson has been moved to a maximum-security facility that was the longtime holding place of Charles Manson.

    He was sentenced in September by a Los Angeles jury to 30-years-to-life behind bars with the possibility of parole for two counts of rape with force, violence or fear of bodily injury.

    Since sentencing, Masterson, who was denied bail last week, has been held at the North Kern state prison.

    He was recently moved to Corcoran State Prison in Central California.

    Earlier this week, he attended another function for Chase Bank, which marked his first public event since he and his wife Mila Kunis were slammed for supporting That '70s Show co-star and convicted rapist Danny Masterson; seen in 2000

    The disgraced actor’s current location is where he will likely serve the bulk of his sentence.

    Records indicate that the once-prominent member of the Church of Scientology will first be eligible for parole in 2042, when the now-42-year-old is 66.

    Masterson, who shares a pre-teen daughter with actress Bijou Phillips, will reportedly live in the maximum-security prison’s Level 4 housing unit – the highest tier of security available at the facility.

    In addition to cult leader Manson, Corcoran was also the prison where Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated RFK was held.

    The prison, which was built in 1988, houses some of California’s most dangerous prisoners and has a sizable population of Level 4 inmates in need of extra protection and/or supervision.

    If Masterson is still in danger or otherwise showing signs of severe ‘mental distress,’ the prison has a small wing called the Protective Housing unit for inmates who remain in danger of being harmed.

    Manson infamously spent nearly ten years in Corcoran’s Protective Housing wing.

    Following Masterson’s sentencing, it was reported that he was under round-the-clock surveillance due to potentially showing signs of ‘mental distress.’

    Deputies would come by his cell every half hour to check on him ‘with the goal of keeping tabs on his mental state and making sure he’s safe.’

    It was uncovered in September that Ashton, 45, and Mila, 40, had penned letters to the judge on Masterson's behalf begging for 'leniency' after the trial

    Masterson’s legal team is currently attempting to appeal his conviction.

    Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Charlaine Olmedo said last week that Masterson will ‘likely remain in custody for decades, and perhaps the rest of his life’ if his sentence is upheld on appeal.

    The judge, who oversaw his trial and subsequently denied him bail, said that he is a flight risk in part because his now-ex-wife Bijou Phillips filed for divorce following his guilty verdict last year.

    The judge’s order read: ‘In light of the fact that defendant has no wife to go home to, defendant now has every incentive to flee and little reason to return to state prison to serve out the remainder of his lengthy sentence should his appeal be unsuccessful.’

    The denial comes after Masterson’s attorneys Clifford Gardner and Eric Multhaup wrote in a motion on January 17 asking for the court to grant the disgraced actor bail.

    Their motion read: ‘Defendant requests that this Court grant bail on appeal, and offers to comply with any relevant terms and conditions imposed by the Court that enable him to be an at-home parent and financial provider for his family, including house arrest and/or participation in an electronic monitoring program administered by the probation department.’

    After his conviction for the two rapes, Masterson was declared a ‘suppressive person’ – or ‘SP’ – which the church defines as someone whose behavior seeks to impede the spiritual progress of those around him.

  • The Beckhams make their Super Bowl ad debut as they recreate Rolls Royce mishap for UberEats, following their son’s collaboration with the delivery service

    The Beckhams make their Super Bowl ad debut as they recreate Rolls Royce mishap for UberEats, following their son’s collaboration with the delivery service

    David and Victoria Beckham are making their Super Bowl advert debut.

    The couple have recreated the viral moment from their Beckham documentary, where David tells his wife to be ‘honest’ about her middle class upbringing.

    Superbowl ads have become cultural phenomenon of their own alongside the championship final itself, with high-profile stars often recruited for the commercials.

    The hilarious gaffe-filled ad shows the famous duo forgetting the name of the game and the huge star they have recruited to appear in the commercial. 

    The clip begins with Victoria, who is sat in a My Dad Had a Rolls-Royce T-shirt, who says: ‘So David and I are gonna be in a little commercial..’

    David then poked his head into frame – just like in Beckham – reminding her to ‘Be honest, be honest!’, about the size of the advert they are featuring in.

    Correcting herself, she says: ‘Okay. It’s a big commercial.’

    He then says: ‘Tell them what it is during.’

    Victoria says: ‘It’s during the big baseball game.’

    While David chimes in: ‘Super, big, baseball game.’

    Victoria then says: ‘Oh was it the Hockey Bowl?’, before David agrees that it was.

    Finally, they reveal that the big guest star in their advert in none other than ‘Jessica’ Aniston, as David confirms that they both ‘love Jessica’.

    Text on the screen reads: ‘Whatever you forget this Sunday, remember Uber Eats.’ 

    The advert is for Uber Eats, reminding people to order through the app whilst watching the famous sporting event.

    It comes off the back of their son Brooklyn’s collaboration with the delivery service, which took place last week in London.

    The clip begins with Victoria, who is sat in a My Dad Had a Rolls-Royce T-shirt, who says: 'So David and I are gonna be in a little commercial..'

    Uber Eats launched a two-day pop up kitchen serving Brooklyn’s favourite dishes, from takeaway sandwiches to curry.

    Multiple sources have reported that the average cost of a 30-second ad for the 2024 Super Bowl will be $7 million.

    The commercial will be airing on February 11 as the Kansas City Chiefs play the San Francisco 49ers during the Super Bowl.

    Victoria created one of the most memorable moments of her husband’s documentary when she claimed to have had a ‘working class’ upbringing, despite her dad owning a Rolls Royce.

    The documentary clip saw Victoria claiming her family were ‘very working, working class’.

    David interrupted, incredulous, and asked Victoria to be honest to which she replied: ‘I am!’ He then repeatedly asked Victoria to reveal what car her dad used to drive her to school in.

    The singer eventually gave in and said: ‘OK. In the Eighties, my dad had a Rolls-Royce.’ 

    ‘Thank you,’ David replied, and immediately left and closed the door behind him, his job done. 

    Last year, Victoria poked fun at herself as she dug out a throwback snap posing with the luxury motor in childhood. 

    The Spice Girl looked adorable in the throwback snap as she posed alongside her sister Louise, 40, while clad in matching pink dresses. 

    They flashed cheeky grins for the camera while sitting on top of the Rolls Royce, which was one of the most expensive makes of the Eighties. 

    She captioned the post ‘kisses’, while tagging her sister and mother Jackie. 

    Victoria has also captalised on the moment with a £110 ‘My Dad Had A Rolls Royce’ T-shirt as part of her self-titled clothing range. 

    Beckham, which is four episodes, each lasting more than an hour, features never-before-seen footage of David and his family.

  • Tyler Christopher’s Cause of Death Revealed: General Hospital Actor, 50, Died from Alcohol Intoxication Resulting in Positional Asphyxia, with Coronary Artery Disease as Contributeing Factor

    Tyler Christopher’s Cause of Death Revealed: General Hospital Actor, 50, Died from Alcohol Intoxication Resulting in Positional Asphyxia, with Coronary Artery Disease as Contributeing Factor

    Tyler Christopher’s cause of death has been revealed three months after he passed away.

    The General Hospital star died at age 50 in October 2023 due to ‘positional asphyxia’ due to acute alcohol intoxication.

    A report by the Medical Examiner Office obtained by TMZ revealed his tragic death was accidental and happened because of how he was positioned.

    Essentially, the report said that he suffocated to death and he also had coronary artery atherosclerosis, which is plaque build-up in his arteries.

    According to the Mayo Clinic, complications of atherosclerosis can cause coronary arteries to narrow, limiting blood flow to the heart.

    In the morning of October 31, his friend discovered the actor in the bedroom of his San Diego apartment.

    A day later, police sources told TMZ that officers visited the home around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday after the friend contacted 911 after finding the actor.

    He told authorities that ‘it appeared he had been dead for some time.’

    Christopher’s friend had not been able to reach the actor, and had went to his home to check on him, sources told the outlet. 

    The home had been locked but the friend was able to enter with a key the actor had past provided, sources said. 

    Christopher’s death was publicly announced Tuesday by his friend and former costar Maurice Benard on Instagram Tuesday: ‘It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Tyler Christopher.

    ‘Tyler passed away this morning following a cardiac event in his San Diego apartment.’

    Previously, Christopher was married to Desperate Housewives alum Eva Longoria from 2002 to 2004.

    ‘Tyler was a truly talented individual that lit up the screen in every scene he performed and relished bringing joy to his loyal fans through his acting,’ Benard said on the social media site. 

    ‘Tyler was a sweet soul and wonderful friend to all of those who knew him.’

    Benard said that his late colleague ‘was an advocate for better mental health and substance use treatment who openly spoke about his struggles with bipolar depression and alcohol,’ adding, ‘We are beyond devastated by the loss of our dear friend and pray for his children and his father.’

    Christopher’s representative Chi Muoi Lo also confirmed the actor’s death in a statement to CNN.

    ‘This news was incredibly shocking, and I am devastated by his loss,’ the actor’s rep said. ‘He was a very gifted actor, and more importantly, an amazing friend. My heart goes out to his friends and family who loved him so much.’

    The actor played the role of Nikolas Cassadine on 1,153 episodes of General Hospital from 1996 to 2016. For his work on the series, he earned four daytime Emmy nominations and in 2016, he won the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

    In the years following, he portrayed Stefan DiMera on 159 episodes of another stalwart soap in Days of Our Lives, from 2018 to 2019.

    In his personal life, Christopher was twice married: to Longoria, and to one-time ESPN personality Brienne Pedigo from 2008 thru 2021. He and Pedigo welcomed two children – a son Greysun James, 10, and a 4-year-old daughter, Boheme.

    The actor had been plagued by legal problems involving alcohol in recent years: He was arrested six months ago after passing out drunk at an LA airport, which marked his second public intoxication arrest in three years.

    Christopher was found on the floor fast asleep at Burbank Airport in Los Angeles this past May 26, when police were alerted to the snoozing soap star and woke him, according to TMZ.

    Christopher told the authorities he had missed his flight before he was handcuffed and booked for public intoxication. 

    Authorities said Christopher displayed clear signs of being intoxicated and that he was ‘unable to care for himself,’ according to the news outlet. He was released shortly after his arrest and given a court date, the news outlet reported.

    In November 2019, Christopher was arrested for public intoxication in his hometown of Martinsville, Indiana, TMZ reported. 

    In an incident on November 11, 2019, an Uber driver had alerted officers to Christopher’s behavior after he allegedly passed out and urinated on himself after he’d been dropped off at his home. He had 2 fifths of bourbon on her person at the time, according to the outlet. 

    Authorities said in legal docs reviews by the outlet that police had taken nine reports in connection with Christopher’s drunken behavior in the two-month span beginning September 14.

    In one incident November 8, 2019 at a Walgreens, a person reported that Christopher had been trying to get inside of their vehicle. Police who detained the actor said that he had sported possible head injuries as he had been bleeding from his nose and urinated in his pants.

    Authorities transported Christopher to a nearby emergency room for an examination and a breathalyzer test, which his BAC showed as .267, more than three times the legal limit to drive.

    In 2022, Christopher appeared on the mental health podcast State of Mind, with host and former General Hospital castmate Maurice Bernard’s, aka Sonny, as per Soaps. 

    During the episode, he spoke openly about his alcohol addiction and having his first drink at age nine.

    ‘At some point, you cannot survive it,’ he said. ‘At some point, it will kill you – and it has. Three times, I have flatlined. And nobody knows that.’

    He continued: ‘Three times I have flatlined, and they brought me back. Twice from [alcohol] poisoning, once from withdrawal.’

    Christopher in July spoke with Bloomberg about a family issue he was dealing with, after he had been placed in the guardianship of his sister Susan Asmo Baker in 2019 after he was injured in an alcohol-related incident.

    Christopher told the outlet that he ‘never thought in a million years that I would be taken advantage of by a family member’ after he sued his sibling claiming she had spent $40,000 of his toward her own expenses.

    She had denied any wrongdoing to the court and the outlet, telling Bloomberg in an email, ‘If I hadn’t been his Guardian he’d be DEAD!’

    Lorraine Kelly snubs Brooklyn Beckham’s ‘pointless’ Uber Eats venture just hours before launch, despite his determination to prove critics wrong

    Brooklyn Beckham’s latest cookery venture has been snidely snubbed by Lorraine Kelly, as she branded his Uber Eats collaboration ‘pointless’. 

    On Thursday’s edition of her eponymous show, the Scottish star, 64, spoke about Brooklyn’s latest project, in which he has teamed up with Uber Eats to launch his ultimate takeaway menu, complete with sandwiches and curry. 

    Hours before the launch, she asked ‘what is the point’ in the collaboration after it was revealed he will not be making any of the food himself before saying: ‘I’m the worst cook in the world and even I could do that!’ 

    Frequently-criticised Brooklyn’s latest project is based on a selection of his favourite comfort food dishes, including an English Breakfast Sandwich, which he used to make with his nanny Peggy and a Chicken Tikka Masala. 

    In a new interview with Grazia, Brooklyn alluded to an upcoming project and said: ‘It’s obviously not nice when people say rubbish, but I’ve learned to not let it get to me. I’m used to it now. I’m going to prove all of them wrong in April, just watch’.

    David and Victoria Beckham’s eldest child has created a menu for his pop-up eatery which will offer five dishes inspired by his ‘global upbringing’

    Brooklyn announced the Uber news earlier this month. Speaking of his new venture, he told the Mail: ‘I’ve been lucky enough to live in some pretty cool places. I got my wife on Indian and Chinese takeaway. She’s obsessed with it now.

    ‘My Nanny Peggy taught me how to make her English Breakfast sandwich when I was five, and it’s been my favourite ever since…

    ‘I’ve always been into trying different foods, cuisines, and cultures, but that was one of my earliest memories of loving cooking…

    ‘Spending time in the kitchen is definitely something me and my dad bond over… even though I think I make my English Breakfast sandwich better, he does make a pretty good one!’

    The restaurant will be based in East London and will feature his famous Nanny Peggy’s breakfast sandwich.

    The menu will also include a Chicken Tikka Masala, 12-hour slow cooked Wagyu Bolognese, Pork and Prawn Dumplings and Buffalo Cauliflower with Brooklyn’s ‘secret’ hot sauce.

    Prices will start at £10 and the menu will be available in London between January 25 and 26.

    Beckham’s delivery pop up is the latest in the series of Uber Eats Hosts, which brings customers access to ‘hard-to-access restaurants’ and unique food experiences. 

    The 5-dish menu will be available in London on 25 and 26 January between 5-10pm, priced from £10. 

    The series kicked off with two Michelin-starred Welsh restaurant, Ynyshir. 

    The eldest son of Victoria and David Beckham has previously been panned for his cooking videos.

    Featuring on Vogue’s channel where he cooked for wife Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2021, fans branded him ‘out of touch’ for using pricey ingredients.

    Critics took to social media to pen: ‘I wish I could afford the idea of ‘no such thing as too much truffle… We’re in a Cost-of-living crisis Brooklyn.’

    He now often takes to his Instagram to show off his creations in tutorials and has been trying his utmost to launch a cooking career and has fronted a Cookin’ With Brooklyn series.

    Monetising on his skills, the budding chef recently landed a sponsorship deal with Typhur Culinary, advertising a £500 air fryer.

    Brooklyn Beckham Shares Date Night Inspiration from Dad David and Teaches Wife Nicola Peltz How to Make Pasta, Despite Earlier Comment on Her Cooking Skills

    Brooklyn Beckham has admitted he and his famous father David have similar techniques when it comes to romancing their wives on date night.

    The aspiring chef, 24, revealed his go-to is making fresh pasta, a tip which he learned from his dad, 48, who also makes the Italian staple for Brooklyn’s mother, Victoria.

    Brooklyn, who has teamed up with Uber Eats for his latest cooking venture, shared a clip online of himself preparing a delicious meaty tomato pasta.

    He said: ‘My pasta is perfect for date night, it’s something I’ve cooked for my wife on our date nights, something that my dad has cooked for my mum.

    Despite recently revealing his actress wife Nicola, 29, ‘can’t cook to save her life’, Brooklyn admitted he has attempted to take her how to make pasta.

    Despite recently revealing his actress wife Nicola, 29, ‘can’t cook to save her life’, Brooklyn admitted he has attempted to take her how to make pasta 

    He said: ‘My favourite food is comfort food. I taught my wife how to make pasta. Yeah she really enjoys it.’

    Putting the finishing touches to his dish, Brooklyn grated over a generous amount of cheese, saying: ‘I love a lot of cheese, so I’m doing it the way I would do it.’

    Brooklyn joked about Nicola’s cooking abilities during a recent interview in the Sunday Times, where he also revealed his loved of cooking came from his dad.

    He said: ‘My dad was always the one cooking in the house, my mum not so much.I just loved hanging out with him in the kitchen, I loved the smell of food.’

    Brooklyn, who first started sharing cooking content online in 2021, said that he also enjoys cooking with his siblings Romeo, 21, and Cruz, 18, and Harper, 12.

    He said: ‘We never say it’s like a competition, even though we give each other a bit of stick about it — that’s just what brothers do. All of us in the kitchen. Just listening to music, cooking together, it’s fun. The best.’

    Brooklyn has created a menu for his pop-up eatery which will offer five dishes inspired by his ‘global upbringing’.

    Speaking of his new venture, he told the Mail: ‘I’ve been lucky enough to live in some pretty cool places.

    ‘I got my wife on Indian and Chinese takeaway. She’s obsessed with it now.

    ‘My Nanny Peggy taught me how to make her English Breakfast sandwich when I was five, and it’s been my favourite ever since.

    ‘I’ve always been into trying different foods, cuisines, and cultures, but that was one of my earliest memories of loving cooking.

    ‘Spending time in the kitchen is definitely something me and my dad bond over… even though I think I make my English Breakfast sandwich better, he does make a pretty good one!’

    The delivery-only restaurant will feature his famous Nanny Peggy’s breakfast sandwich.

    The menu will also include a Chicken Tikka Masala, 12-hour slow cooked Wagyu Bolognese, Pork and Prawn Dumplings and Buffalo Cauliflower with Brooklyn’s ‘secret’ hot sauce.

    It the latest in the series of Uber Eats Hosts, which brings customers access to ‘hard-to-access restaurants’ and unique food experiences. 

    The series kicked off with two Michelin-starred Welsh restaurant, Ynyshir.

    The 5-dish menu will be available in London on 25 and 26 January between 5-10pm, priced from £10 exclusively with UberEats

    Kennedy: Why the animosity towards Sexy Sanchez, Kelly? Megyn’s comment on Ms. Bezos resembling a “hooker” seems unfair. If I had secured life’s extravagant jackpot, I’d proudly flaunt my success for the cameras too!

    Handbags at dawn!

    Megyn Kelly let rip on Thursday at the future Mrs. Jeff Bezos – Lauren Sanchez – after the raven-haired supervixen was pictured in Milan last weekend wearing a stupendous push-up corset and grandma’s black doily over her unmentionables.

    Kelly, the long-lost Fox News legend who is no stranger to vixenhood, slammed the thigh-baring President of the Jeff Bezos Fanclub as dressing ‘like a hooker’ and took issue with her, ahem, less-than-natural-looking augmentations.

    ‘You’re dating [one of] the richest men in the world. Try to be a little classy,’ she fumed. ‘She’s got the Kim Kardashian lips, she’s made her nose so skinny, it looks like a pencil now.’

    Talk about sisterhood!

    Now, disclaimer: I worked with Kelly as an anchor at Fox for years and she was always unflinchingly kind, professional… and uber-glamourous.

    She etched a template for how women could boss up a man’s world through brains, empowerment, humor and, yes, beauty. Everyone admired her.

    Now she heads-up her super successful podcast and is making a killing doing it – but not without leaving a few bodies in her wake.

    My question is: What’s Sexy Sanchez ever done to snatch Kelly’s fiery attention the way she snatched Jazzy Jeff from MacKenzie Scott so many parties ago?

    It’s not like Lauren is being held against her will (like crazed Kanye’s poor Bianca) by this former nerd turned Dr Evil gym fetishist.

    No, she seems not only willing but eager to globetrot like hot snot on his $500million super yacht the way any of us would if we snagged life’s diamond-encrusted turkey.

    Nor is she a high-horse riding moralist eager to shape the tastes of young girls everywhere. She’s minding her own in the Med on perma-vacay, in D&G hoochiewear, that ginormous ‘I blacked out’ engagement ring, and with the tautest of tanned frames.

    And before we reach for the smelling salts, how much more tacky, tasteless or nearly nude are her fleshy displays than any other slinky starlet these days?

    I’ll tell you one thing for certain: If I were the arm candy dripping off the newly beefed arm of a multi-b-zillionaire, I’d be shaking my care-free assets at every port on the planet for the salivating paps.

    I’m sick and tired of these unkempt money men like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk who pretend to hate their lottery lot because they’re not cool enough to know how to spend it.

    Wire it to Lauren! She knows what’s good.

    Ostentatious wealth and seemingly doing nothing for work are on everyone’s ‘In’ list for 2024.

    Lozza and Big Boy Bezos are also clearly obsessed with each other (and their own pecs and reflections, apparently) – and good for them. Finding love again in mid-life isn’t always a walk in Milan.

    So, if they want to waltz around every neighborhood like it’s the red-light district, I’m not getting in their way.

    Would you love your fiancé more if he had a few hundred bil lying around and a ship with a front-mounted siren fashioned in your own likeness? The answer is hell yes.

    Both stunning, successful and media-savvy senoritas, Kelly and Sanchez aren’t too dissimilar. Megyn’s best-selling 2016 memoir was titled ‘Settle for More’ – Lauren, it seems, has done just that.

    Billie Joe Armstrong can pinpoint the precise moment his world went to hell in a handcart. ‘Ever since Bowie died, it hasn’t been the same,’ he rages on Strange Days Are Here To Stay, a track on Green Day’s 14th album.

    Whether it’s global turmoil or just his late-running Uber, the punk veteran traces all his issues back to his hero’s passing in January 2016.

    There’s no suggestion that the Thin White Duke is directly responsible. Armstrong’s lyrics bristle with indignation, but there’s humour at play, too. And the song, driven by twin harmony guitars that recall Thin Lizzy, is one of the most memorable on an album that sticks to familiar punk-pop styles while adding a few unforeseen twists.

    Saviors is a step up from 2020’s Father Of All…, a disappointing record that’s high on puerile gags and low on imagination.

    Green Day have been refreshed by the return of producer Rob Cavallo for the first time in 12 years. Cavallo was at the helm on the band’s 1994 breakthrough album, Dookie, and 2004’s landmark American Idiot, and he brings a reliably tuneful punch to the 15 new songs here.

    For a trio, Green Day make one heck of a racket. Singer and guitarist Armstrong is ably backed by bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool, and there’s a robust confidence to songs that mix bubblegum pop with a surging guitar sound that nods to Sex Pistol Steve Jones (on Look Ma, No Brains!) and Pixies’ Joey Santiago (on Bobby Sox).

    A sense of loyalty to their roots — they emerged from California’s Bay Area punk scene in the 1980s — sometimes spills into parody. ‘Hit me with power chords,’ roars Armstrong on Corvette Summer.

    The American Dream Is Killing Me recycles the sentiments of American Idiot, an album the band turned into a successful Broadway musical.

    But they also tweak the formula. Dilemma, about alcohol addiction, is all minor chords and doo-wop hooks, while Goodnight Adeline is a softly-strummed break-up ballad. ‘My spirit’s broken,’ laments Armstrong.

    There’s more heartache on Suzie Chapstick, with Cavallo supplying piano, while Father To A Son is lifted by David Campbell’s orchestrations. ‘We are the last of the rockers making a commotion,’ crows Billie Joe on the title track.

    That’s pushing things, but there’s a renewed sense of purpose here that suggests Green Day will be worth catching on their summer tour.

    There may be life after Bowie after all.

     

    Music is a welcome sanctuary for American female duo Sleater-Kinney on Little Rope.

    Taking their band name from a street in Washington state, lead singer Corin Tucker and guitarist Carrie Brownstein look to 1980s alternative rock and 1990s grunge on a set of aggressive but expressive songs that deal with bereavement and rehabilitation.

    Midway through the making of this record, in the autumn of 2022, Brownstein’s mother and stepfather died in a car crash while holidaying in Italy, and the emotions here are understandably raw.

    The fast and furious opening track, Hell, is as bleak as its title suggests. On Hunt You Down, Tucker sings of being ‘down so long, I pay rent to the floor’.

    But there’s remarkable resolve amid the anguish. Say It Like You Mean It, a demand for honesty in a crumbling romance, is a wonderful pop moment, and the sense that life must go on is acute on Dress Yourself.

    ‘Give me a reason, give me a remedy,’ pleads Tucker, as Brownstein augments her prayers with unexpected bursts of discordant guitar.

    • Both albums out today. Green Day start a UK tour on June 21 at Emirates Old Trafford (ticketmaster.co.uk).

    Shaun Ryder is an immensely likeable reality TV star, best known for raising a chuckle on I’m A Celebrity… and Celebrity Gogglebox, but he still has time for music.

    His fourth album with Black Grape skips haphazardly between Latin grooves, electronic dance-rock and reggae. It could easily have been a mishmash, but it’s stylishly held together by his freewheeling vocals and the rapped contributions of fellow Mancunian Paul ‘Kermit’ Leveridge. ‘We get it on like the Rolling Stones,’ sings Ryder on the pulsating dance track Panda. He hasn’t lost his swagger.

    An appearance at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival is a rite of passage for any budding blues musician and South Carolina star Hannah Wicklund earned her stripes when she played the event last year.

    Backed by members of Michigan rock band Greta Van Fleet, the 27-year-old reiterates her mastery of the guitar and homespun, aching vocals on The Prize. ‘Maybe I’m abrasive, maybe I’m too much,’ she sings on Witness, while there’s a touch of Stevie Nicks to the title track, a soul-baring ballad about her growing pains. She tours the UK in May.

    The latest screen adaptation of Alice Walker’s novel reaches cinemas next week, but its sprawling, though nicely varied, soundtrack is already out.

    It’s an epic two-parter that kicks off with ensemble pieces and swinging show tunes from its 2005 Broadway spin-off. The film has also inspired a string of contemporary female artists to create new tracks. Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige and actress Fantasia Barrino shine on heartfelt R&B ballads. Rapper Missy Elliott delivers a reggae mix of Hell No!, while British singers Jorja Smith and Celeste display poise and power.

    Christian Thielemann, not usually associated with light music, seems to have loosened up since the last time he took on this high-profile assignment, in 2019. He approached the task with his usual seriousness, looking out some unusual pieces including a Quadrille by Bruckner, but his actual execution was free of any stiffness.

    Other pieces new to these concerts include the Archduke Albrecht March by Komzak and a Lumbye galop.
