Brad just demanded Ange’s private messages
Plus Katy and Orlando together (...but not) and Brooklyn’s embarrassing cooking slip
Hey, it’s The Spotlight — your personal front-row seat for all the hottest showbiz stories. Here’s what’s happening…
Brad demands Angelina’s wine receipts... this drama is as messy as a Merlot spill
Brad Pitt really isn’t letting go of the Château Miraval drama, guys.
The legal feud over the fancy French winery he and Angelina Jolie bought during their marriage just popped off like a champagne cork.
Now Brad’s out here demanding Angie’s private messages.
His legal team are dragging some Stoli Group booze bigwig, Alexey Oliynik, into court, demanding he cough up texts, emails, carrier pigeon notes… whatever proves that Ange allegedly sold him her share in the winery after their split (while knowing that Brad would hate it).
Alexey’s like, ‘Nah, I’m Swiss, good luck making me do anything’ (neutrality isn’t just for chocolate and banks any more).
Meanwhile, Angelina’s side says Brad’s ‘waging a vindictive war’ and mad that Ange wouldn’t respect his silly NDA. (Remember that episode of the drama? Angie’s lawyers said Brad tried to get her to sign an NDA to force her to stay silent about his ‘alleged abuse’).
The craziest part? This winery battle’s outlasting their marriage – and their divorce. They finalised the terms, split the kids, which for normies means ‘So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, good night.’ But not for the warring Mr & Mrs Smith.
So grab a glass of Miraval, because this legal soap opera’s got more twists than a corkscrew.
‘Shocked’ Christian Horner sobs over getting fired. Supportive Spice says… nothing
Christian Horner didn’t just leave Red Bull F1 after being sacked – he dramatically exited stage left, choking up in front of his team.
‘Yesterday I was informed… it came as a shock to myself,’ he sniffed in his farewell speech, because nothing says ‘I did NOT see this coming’ like a 51-year-old F1 boss blinking back tears in front of 300 people.
And where’s his Spice Girl wife Geri Horner in all this? Nowhere. The woman who stood by him and just told him to ‘make it all go away’ during last year’s sexting scandal is so far spectacularly absent – no supportive Insta post, no hand-holding at the airport.
Meanwhile, Red Bull’s star driver Max Verstappen’s over here tweeting a polished ‘thank you for the titles’ like this isn’t the same team where his dad (allegedly) wanted Horner gone months ago. The PR gymnastics are gold medal-worthy, if anyone’s thinking of trying a new sport.
So while Christian’s hugging colleagues and getting applause (awkward!), Geri’s… what? Baking a ‘Sorry You Got Fired’ cake? Rewriting the Wannabe lyrics to ‘If you wanna be my lover… you’ve gotta get a job’? We may never know.
Katy & Orlando’s consciously uncoupled family vacation rolls on
These two just photobombed Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's honeymoon, and now they're serving perfectly curated ‘we’re broken up but still cool’ pictures aboard the billionaire’s yacht.
Orlando’s latest post is captioned ‘Dump 4 ya’, which we know generally means photo dump, but under the circumstances could be the most honest celebrity breakup announcement ever.
There's Katy and Orlando’s four-year-old Daisy riding piggyback on dad, while Katy holds her arm like they're shooting a High Net Worth Parenting magazine spread. Thirteen-year-old Flynn – Orlando's son with model ex Miranda Kerr – stands nearby, nearly as tall as Orlando now.
Fans are torn: ‘Single looks good on you!’ vs ‘Get back togetherrr!’ Meanwhile, their PR teams are in a little office high-fiving over how they’ve turned a breakup into a vacation brochure.
This is cute. Gwyneth is proud. And it's still weird af that this all happened on the Bezos-Sanchez honeymoon.

Kim Kardashian’s Balenciaga ‘walk’: Proof money can't buy coordination
The only thing more painful than watching Kim’s runway ‘walk’ was realising this wasn't a SNL skit.
Miss Kim stumbled through Balenciaga’s show like it was a field sobriety test.
Her face served ‘I’m killing it’ — her feet screamed ‘call me an Uber’.
Fans roasted the toddler in heels energy, with one quipping: ‘Kendall, come get your big sister.’ Meanwhile, we guess momager Kris Jenner sipped a martini and said, ‘I can't fix this.’
Brooklyn Beckham’s ‘homemade’ cooking tutorial has a problem… an actual chef in the background
Oh, Brooklyn. The forever-aspiring chef-turned-hot-sauce-mogul gave us another ‘look, I cook!’ tutorial… for a *chicken wrap*… only for eagle-eyed fans to spot a professional chef lurking like a culinary ghost-writer.
The video, promoting his £15-a-bottle Cloud23 sauce, showed Brooklyn frying chicken like a man who’s definitely not used to doing his own prep work. Cue the comments: ‘The chef standing there like “sir, please step away from the pan’’ and, ‘Brooklyn’s “sous chef” is just his entire kitchen staff.’
Meanwhile, the Beckham-Peltz family drama continues to simmer. The youngest Beckham, daughter Harper, turns 14 today, and all eyes are on whether Brooklyn will break his no-show streak for his beloved little sis (after skipping Dad’s 50th and his parents’ anniversary) – or whether Harper will be stuck with a ‘happy birthday from your brother’s hot sauce brand’ email.
Snoozy Hugh is Wimbledon’s sleep champ
Hugh Grant just turned a Royal Box appearance at Wimbledon into a very public nap. One minute he's exchanging pleasantries with Queen Camilla, the next he's dozing off like a man who is 64 and has lost the fight with this crazy British heatwave.
The BBC cameras caught the whole siesta during Djokovic's backhand. Hugh’s wife Anna Eberstein sat patiently beside him, clearly used to this behaviour.
The man who made floppy hair and awkward charm famous has now given us the most relatable celebrity moment of the year. Game, set, snore.
Mariah ends Bezos wedding in three words
Queen of divas Mariah Carey just gave us another iconic three-word clapback, and the internet is living.
When asked by a pap about Jeff Bezos’s $50 million Italian wedding, Mimi casually dropped, ‘I wasn’t there’. Statement of fact? Nah, coming from Mariah this is a line that now rivals her legendary ‘I don’t know her’ J.Lo diss.
The photographer tried to stir drama (‘Were you not invited?’), but Mariah just chuckled like, ‘Oh honey, don’t embarrass yourself.’
Confirmed: the Bezos guest list (Kim K! Oprah! Leo!) was missing one crucial diva. Guess not even a superyacht in Europe earns a Mariah RSVP.
Sarah Jessica Parker on politics? Let's just say she'd rather discuss Manolos than mandates.
Chaka Khan proves she's still every woman by being the one tossing petals at her granddaughter's wedding. Aww!
Whatever you do, DON’T call Gabrielle Union this obvious nickname…
Confused fans activated: Just look at almost unrecognisable Jojo Siwa now.
David Beckham and Matt Damon’s Stella ad is back: The most believable 'twins' since Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
