So this New Year’s Eve, Chris Hemsworth turned up on a cruise ship with his family. Fireworks. Champagne. The whole lot. But here’s what got me. It wasn’t one of those flash-and-celebrity things where you’re meant to be impressed. And by “a few,” I mean just him, his wife Elsa Pataky, their three kids, and a broody Liam […]
Right, this is going to be one of those stories where the tabloids got it completely wrong. Again. The Dawn French weight loss thing has been chewed over so many times that people forget what actually happened and why she told everyone to kindly mind their own business. I’m not going to pretend I didn’t […]
Reading isn’t usually where people expect a global comic to come from. But that’s exactly where is Ricky Gervais from. Not the polished bits either. Whitley. A council estate in Berkshire that’s always been rough around the edges. Born 25 June 1961 at Battle Hospital. His dad, Lawrence, came from Canada during World War Two. […]
Ever been afraid of something and bizarrely fascinated by it at the same time? That was Sarah Hadland and Strictly Come Dancing for more than a decade. She watched it religiously. Had a WhatsApp group with Miranda Hart and Clare Balding, where they’d meet up every year for the final. Rules were simple: nobody talks during the […]
You know that moment in a film when Chris Hemsworth leaps out of a building, or Margot Robbie turns over a car? Yeah, probably wasn’t them. It was somebody who looks sort of like them but doesn’t get the red carpet. Welcome to the age of the Celebrity Body Double. The 4 am Start Nobody Talks […]
Nikki Hakuta is 8 years old, and you have almost certainly never seen her, which is insane when your mum is Ali Wong, one of the biggest comedians in America. She was born in December 2017, but gained fame before she was even born. Her mother did all of the Netflix special Baby Cobra while seven months pregnant with […]
You’ve seen the photos. Ariana Grande on the Wicked press tour, looking different from a few years ago. And you’ve seen the comments. Thousands of them. Everyone is feeling entitled to an opinion about her body. Ariana Grande weight loss has become a massive topic, and it’s absolutely mental that we’re still doing this in […]
In an era defined by digital media, global connectivity, and nonstop content flying at us from every corner of the internet, the rise of today’s most popular celebs feels like watching fame reinvent itself in real time. Honestly, it’s wild how different things look compared to even twenty years ago. Fame isn’t just handed out […]
Until relatively recently, celebrity fashion was controlled almost exclusively by magazine editors and established couture houses. A trend would make its way down the runway in Paris or Milan, trickle down onto the respective red carpets of London and Los Angeles, and eventually make its way into the public’s closet many months later. In the […]
1974 was a good year for British talent. The 1974 born celebrities from the UK have become some of the biggest names in film, music, fashion and telly. They’re turning 51 this year, and loads of them are still going strong. If you’re also curious about them and want to know what they are up […]
Listen, I have seen this rumour making the rounds on social media for ages now. Everyone seems to be wondering about Martin Kemp’s adopted daughter, and it’s honestly starting to get a little out of hand. So I’m just going to get it out there: no, Harley Moon Kemp was not adopted. She’s biologically Martin and Shirlie’s […]
You’re sitting in traffic, looking at your phone, and there they are again. Another celebrity scandal. Another red carpet photo. Another mansion tour. We just can’t stop gawking, can we? I recall my friend Jessie went mental once after she saw Tom Hardy at a coffee shop in Primrose Hill. She was unable to talk right for, like, 20 […]
