Here’s what’s happening…
Emma Watson goes from self-partnered to ‘painting her man’s portrait’
Emma Watson has been keeping as far from the limelight as you can get for a hot minute, studying for a part-time Master’s degree at Oxford University.
And now we see part of the attraction for the Harry Potter star, who was spotted on the *cutest* little date with a mystery man giving extremely wholesome vibes.
We’re talking picnic by the river, then reportedly — get this — ‘painting each other’. On canvas, y’all, nothing freaky.
PS: let’s not forget Emma’s former status as ‘self-partnered’, a line on a level with conscious uncoupling for meaning literally nothing.
She then un-self-partnered and began dating Brandon Green, son of controversial business tycoon Sir Philip Green, before moving on with another Oxford student, Kieran Brown.
Could picnic guy at last be the Ron to her Hermione? Watch this space.
Katy and Orlando make it official (officially over, that is)
Look, is it even news at this point? But in Hollywood, nothing’s really over till the PR rep sings, so here’s the final nail in the Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom romance…
‘Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.’
Seen together? This past week, actor Orlando’s been papped partying all over Europe, while popstar Katy broke down in tears on stage in Australia. We make that almost 9,000 miles apart.
Thank you Sofia, we KNEW this was how celebs party
OK, so PB (post-Bezos) the A-list are literally swarming over Europe. And most of them hit a crazy yacht party together.
For the launch of the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain’s super-yacht Luminara (obv) Kendall Jenner, Ellie Goulding, Tom Brady and of course Orlando Bloom partied the night away.
The Insta pics are ‘Met-Gala-bathroom-selfie’ nuts — think 90s hitmaker Ricky Martin wrapping his arms round Naomi Campbell, and Martha Stewart hosting impromptu ‘aperitivo’ sessions. Thank you, Sofia Vergara, for sharing!
The ship set off from Rome and sailed along the Italian coast for a two-day voyage. Worst of all? Seems the luxury trip was a freebie for the famous — though for us humans, suites cost as much as $78,000 (£57k).
Seriously, how could you lose one of THOSE dresses?
We really tried not to bring you any more goss about the Bezos wedding. But then this WTF reveal…
Turns out Lauren Sanchez had 27 dress options, and one of them mysteriously ‘went missing’ at the party. No word on which one – but not the white lace, high-necked Dolce & Gabbana wedding gown. The Italian press reported it was stolen by an 'elegantly dressed party crasher’.
Sorry, which movie are we in here?
It’s giving 2005 Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers, pursued through the canals by Kenneth Branagh’s detective Hercule Poirot (did anyone actually watch A Haunting in Venice?).
And c’mon, it can’t be a coincidence that Lauren had exactly 27 Dresses (you know, the 2008 bridal rom-com) for her wed-stravaganza. Somewhere Katherine Heigl is screaming.
Anyway, the Bezos-Sanchez team shut down the rumours that someone crashed their wedding AND got away with a gown.
Not exactly a good look for a billionaire’s security. No police report has been filed and everyone’s confident the dress will ‘turn up’.
Rod Stewart blames 24-year age gap for his (first) divorce
We stan a self-reflective king, and Rod Stewart is doing some soul-searching.
Reflecting on the breakdown of his marriage to Rachel Hunter, Rod admitted that the split ‘tore him to shreds’ — and said their 24-year age gap was to blame.
Rod said: ‘Rachel left me because she was too young — my sister said I should never have married her in the first place — but it tore me to shreds.’
Rod wasn’t down for long, dating Penny Lancaster (who is, um, 26 years younger than him, even more than Rachel).
They’ve been married for 18 years now.
Kill Bill star Michael Madsen dies at 67
Actor Michael Madsen, a Quentin Tarantino favourite with top roles in movies like Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs, has died suddenly at 67.
The star was found ‘unresponsive’ at his Malibu home following a 911 call, after apparently suffering a cardiac arrest.
Reps said Michael had lots of projects in the pipeline, including a new book and movie projects, and had been ‘really looking forward to this next chapter in his life’.
So down for another Madonna-Britney collab (hold the kissing)
Remember when Madonna and Britney kissed on stage and the world lost its damn mind? (That was a test – it was 22 years ago, so if you do, you might be almost as ancient as The Spotlight…)
Seems like the smooch made a big impact on Madge, who just came out wearing full Britney merch in New York. It’s Madonna, b*tch!
Brad Pitt ‘knows he made mistakes’ in his split from Angelina, according to an insider on the ‘divisive, toxic’ divorce. Shocking.
Caitlyn Jenner’s friend and manager Sophia Hutchins tragically died aged 29 in a quad bike accident near Caitlyn’s Malibu home.
The next instalment of Look At Me Lizzo: a before-and-after weight-loss snap in her undies.
As the Spice Girls reportedly shun Mel B’s wedding this weekend, Victoria Beckham’s thrown her a bone with an Insta message.
