Lily Allen’s ‘Raya revenge’ on ‘cheating’ ex
Spotted: Brad's baby bald patch and Gwyneth’s topless video
Hey, it’s The Spotlight — your personal front-row seat for all the hottest showbiz stories. Here’s what’s happening…
Apple bites back at mum Gwyneth’s topless breakfast video
It may have been Father’s Day (and boy, do we have goss for you) but topping the ‘cringy parent’ league table over the weekend was mother Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, who posted a video of herself cooking a white bean and sausage shakshuka, ‘Tuscan style’… we guess that means topless?
Her daughter Apple, 21, with ex husband Chris Martin, was quick with a sassy bite back. She wrote: ‘Did I steal your shirt by accident or…’.
Apple is no stranger to awkward publicity stunts. Last year she put in her own excruciating appearance at the Paris Bal des Debutantes.
And honestly, when your mum released a luxury candle called ‘This Smells Like My Vagina’ during your teen years, what’s a bit of topless brunch?
Somebody stop Justin Bieber, please
Troubled hitmaker Justin Bieber, 31, marked his first Father’s Day with more than 20 very strange Instagram posts.
Take this charmer: a grainy black-and-white photo of himself with the caption: ‘I’m a dad that’s not to be f***ed with.’
He also posted a photo of his baby son Jack’s hand. Caption? Just the middle finger emoji, guys.
Plus, The Spotlight is obligated to point out, he shared snaps of what look like some jaw-dropping Father’s Day gifts. Check the gold-and-diamond Audemars Piguet watch and two Prada bags.
Concerned fans (yet again) took to the comments, telling him to ‘go to rehab’. Justin’s rep shut down worries he’s using drugs back in February.
Many have traced a ‘decline’ in the singer’s mental health since sex crimes allegations surfaced against his former mentor Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The rapper denies the charges, and his trial is ongoing.
Let’s hope Biebs is getting help behind the scenes, if needed (and that wife Hailey figures out his Insta password and cuts him off, sooner rather than later).
Matching well on Raya is the best revenge for Lily Allen
In the celeb ‘swipe right’ literally nobody saw coming, Lily Allen and Brit actor James Norton enjoyed a super-cute first date this weekend, after reportedly meeting on dating app Raya.
The songstress, 40, and actor, 39, looked thrilled to be in each other’s company as they sipped on non-alcoholic beers at Lido Festival in London on Saturday.
A source said ‘she was really making him giggle’.
Photos show them beaming, chatting and even lining up for the bar like regular people. No VIP area for these grounded lovebirds, who watched Charli XCX with all the plebs. You’ve gotta admire it.
The Spotlight couldn’t help noticing, though, that Lily looks more than a little like James’s (very recent) ex, the model Charlotte Rose Smith (below). The hair! The Snow White colouring! The pout! The eyeliner!
In case you missed it, Lily’s marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour, 50, ended last year after she reportedly found out about his secret profile on Raya.
Finding a hotter, younger actor on the very same app? Seems like the perfect way to move on.
Say it ain’t so… did Brad just debut a bald spot?
We knew that buzz cut couldn’t just be nostalgia for his Fight Club era. No, ladies, The Spotlight is sorry to say it, but that looks like a teeny-weeny bald spot on the back of Brad Pitt’s well-shaped head.
The Hollywood hunk, 61, was spotted signing autographs for fans in New York City on Sunday.
But not even those blue suede shoes can distract from the follicle situation. It’s enough to make you feel your age.
Meghan goes ‘momfluencer’ with another home video
Meghan Markle shared a loving tribute to her beloved ‘H’, posting a video of Prince Harry with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
Think splashing in the water, playing football and running on the beach. Oh, and shots of the kids’ faces, which until now they’ve kept (mostly) fiercely private.
Meg’s video was accompanied by the Jason Mraz song ‘Have It All’. But is it just a cute tune — or a subtle dig at haters who said they shouldn’t keep their royal titles while jetting off to live that celebrity life in California?
Meanwhile, back across the pond, sister-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales, posted this *definitely not posed* shot of her own brood (George, Charlotte and Louis) with their father William.
Family rivalry? Nah, nothing to see here…
Oprah reveals one BIG reason she didn’t have kids
Queen Oprah Winfrey just revealed one reason she never had kids — and it goes back to some serious archival drama.
She says her friend, the late TV star Barbara Walters (together in 1999, below) urged her to have a child as there was ‘nothing more fulfilling’.
But that didn’t match up with what Oprah saw: Barbara’s volatile relationship with her adopted daughter Jacqueline, who once ran away from home for a month and struggled with substance abuse in her youth.
Speaking in an upcoming Hulu documentary, Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything, Oprah said: ‘I was like, “Okay, but I'm looking at you, so, no”.’
Yikes. Barbara passed away in 2022. No word on what media-shy Jacqueline thinks just yet.
All *Sir* David wants for Father’s Day? Brooklyn…
Sir David Beckham has finally got the knighthood he’s spent years chasing — now there’s just one thing he allegedly can’t have: oldest son, Brooklyn.
David, 50, posted a gushing tribute to his four children Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, on Instagram, telling them his ‘most important & favourite job in life is being a dad’ and he’ll ‘always be there, no matter what’.
The former footballer shared photos of all four kids beaming together, with Cruz and Romeo posting loving comments underneath.
But amid news of the deepening rift between the senior Beckhams and Brooklyn and his wife Nicola, 30, there was silence on Brooklyn’s end. Meanwhile, Nicola paid lavish tribute to her billionaire father Nelson Peltz, who she called ‘the greatest dad in the world’.
Brooklyn hasn’t acknowledged his dad’s knighthood either: ouch.
Seriously, how did this happen? Megastar Julia Roberts just appeared at a charity soccer match alongside WAG Coleen Rooney and Robbie Williams.
Elijah Blue Allman, troubled son of musical icon Cher, was rushed to hospital in California after a reported overdose.
Travis Kelce’s mum Donna is going on reality TV. The next US series of The Traitors is gonna be wild.
In the middle of his racketeering and sex trafficking trial (he denies all charges) Diddy got loving tributes from his kids on Father’s Day.
