Dua and Callum’s wet ‘n’ wild Italian summer
Lizzo spills on weight loss, and Victoria Beckham’s *new* wedding drama
Hey, it’s The Spotlight — your personal front-row seat for all the hottest showbiz stories. Here’s what’s happening…
Oh boy… Lizzo spills on Ozempic, weight loss and eating a lot of yoghurt
Lizzo finally addressed ALL of the Ozempic rumours around her dramatic weight-loss.
Honestly? Fans have not been happy about it, seeing it as a betrayal of her body-positive message (remember the time she dressed up as an Ozempic pen…).
Now the hitmaker says she’s not (currently) on any kind of fat-loss jabs in a big Women’s Health interview. Although she did recently admit she’s tried them.
But the rest? Wow, it’s miserable: she now eats a high-protein, low carb diet, and stops eating by 5pm. Think low-sugar Greek yogurt, chicken salad, and all those sad ‘90s diet clichés.
She also works out several times a week to fuel her ‘weight release’ (necessary due to crippling back pain). Is it just us, or is that phrase just so, so Gwyneth Paltrow in her ‘conscious uncoupling’ era?
As Victoria’s a no-show, why are the Spice Girls shunning Mel B’s wedding?
So Mel B is achieving every girl’s dream this weekend by marrying her hairdresser Rory McPhee. Way to make every day a good hair day.
We wish her well for her third trip down the aisle, because her romantic history… hair-raising. (The paternity test drama with Eddie Murphy? Abuse allegations with second husband Stephen Belafonte? It’s a lot.)
But it seems like her fellow Spice Girls bandmates won’t stand by her side.
OK, so Geri Halliwell-Horner skipping is no surprise since they have major beef – which got reheated when Mel claimed the pair had an intimate relationship...
One we didn’t see coming? Victoria Beckham’s a no-show due to ‘long standing plans out of the country’ that she just can’t cancel. That old chestnut, Posh?
There are whispers that fellow Spices Emma Bunton and Mel C won’t make it either – even though both were at Mel B's 50th birthday back in May.
What a waste of a crazy venue. Mel’s tying the knot at actual St Paul’s Cathedral in London, aka where Diana got married. Excuse me? (Mel’s do will be in the crypt, not the main church, but it’s not like Victoria to miss a chance to walk in Royal footsteps.)
The takeaway? Don’t hold your breath for a Spice Girls reunion.
Bet you wish you were having Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s raunchy Italian summer
Dua Lipa and fiancé Callum Turner have been enjoying PDA galore on a romantic Amalfi Coast getaway. And honestly? It’s making the office just that little bit harder to bear.
Dua half-wore a teeny-weeny polka-dot bikini – while Callum looked a teeny-weeny bit sunburnt as they plunged into the sea to cool off.
Clearly being engaged suits the pair. Wedding plans? Dua’s in no rush, telling Vogue: ‘I want to finish my tour, Callum’s shooting, so we’re just enjoying this period.’
Oh to be beautiful, famous and in love (and on the Amalfi Coast).
Taylor sports her own merch as ‘cute dates with Trav’ tour continues
We love a self-promoting girlie. That’s right, we’re looking at you, Tay Tay.
After months where Taylor Swift and boyfriend Travis Kelce literally disappeared, the superstar couple are relaunching their public presence with a nationwide tour of cute date spots.
Latest? A lunch date at JoJo's Bar in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. A loooong way from her A-list usual, but his home state, so it checks out.
But the REAL point of the outing? An eagle-eyed fan spotted that Tay had ditched her Upper East Side designer uniform for her own merch: a $50 (£36) shirt with birds on the back, from her summer collection.
Most surprising of all? It appears to still be in stock, as of midday Tuesday. Just saying.
Just a friendly peck? With Pacino, anything’s possible (even at 85)
Look away now if Leo DiCaprio’s age-gap romance bothers you… movie icon Al Pacino, 85, was spotted at a fancy restaurant in Rome with a crowd of friends.
And Al grinned as he got a kiss and a squeeze on the hand from (gorgeous) Italian journalist Caterina Di Terlizzi, who is several decades younger than the Godfather star.
For any other 85-year-old, we’d just go: what a sweet old grandpa. But Al? Let’s not forget it’s literally two years since he had his fourth child, with ex-girlfriend Noor Alfallah, now 31.
Caterina’s age is unknown – but she got her journalism Master’s in 2023. What do they teach them these days?
Who knew? Kylie’s been holding out on Timo Chalamet
After two years of icky public smooching and pretending to like basketball, Kylie Jenner just took her relationship with Timothée Chalamet to a whole new level.
Yes: she gave him an Insta follow.
In more evidence that celebs are nothing like real people, one of the world’s top influencers didn’t even ‘like’ her bf until like, right now.
She follows just 119 people. As for Tim? Sorry babe – he doesn’t follow anyone, lovelorn Kylie included.
Tom Cruise? He’s got a Play-Doh face, says controversial TV star
OK, we’ve all noticed Tom Cruise looking a little smoother around the chops recently. But it took an uninhibited Brit TV presenter to go in on what’s behind the transformation.
Jonathan Ross compared Tom unfavourably to fellow megastar Brad Pitt (um, on a podcast he hosts with his daughter. Fine).
‘He’s definitely got a ton of filler in that face… He’s got that kind of Play-Doh face that people get when they have a lot of filler,’ Jonathan said. Miaow!
Way back in 2012, Tom said he ‘never would’ have full-on cosmetic surgery, and he’s consistently denied it. Still, we’re pretty confident that the multi award-winning, multi-millionaire DGAF what Jonathan has to say.
The Diddy trial is about to go off. The jury reached a verdict on four out of five charges, with one left to argue over. Watch this space.
Ben Affleck just sparked a whole new generation of ‘tired’ memes — guess house-hunting down the road from ex Jennifer Garner takes it out of him.
A Blake Lively headline with no drama? No wonder she’s beaming as husband Ryan Reynolds is named an Officer of the Order of Canada.
The Spice Girls *also* said ‘no thanks’ to a Louis Theroux doc… in case it ‘spoils the magic of Girl Power’ for fans (nice get out, girlies).
Clint Eastwood compared quitting adultery to giving up smoking, saying affairs were ‘addictive’. Wonder what his wife made of that.
It’s Insta official between Zara McDermott and Louis Tomlinson, five months after they started dating. Speedy by Kylie’s timings.
