Ready for the ultimate release? Emilia Clarke has offered a vivid descriptor of what it was like wrapping her journey as Daenerys Targaryen on Game Of Thrones.

The show’s final season is a month away, with HBO dishing out trailers and teasers at a growing rate to drive up anticipation from fever pitch to physical breakdown.

While viewers might be mourning waving goodbye to a TV phenomenon (pushing the spin-offs aside), some of the cast have found the entire endgame experience a bra-popping relief.

Speaking to Harpers Bazaar, Clarke detailed how taking off her bra at the end of a day is big part of her self-care routine, before describing the feeling of ending Game Of Thrones.

‘I think ending it was just the mother of all releases,’ Clarke said.

‘It was just the metaphorical undoing of the bra, except it’s like a 10-year experience.’

Blimey.

Before the metaphorical bras went flying, the actress also described how she burst into tears after filming her final scene as Daenerys.

‘I started to do a little speech, not because I’m a pretentious actor, but because every time we said goodbye to a character, David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss], the showrunners would give us a gift and the crew would be around and everyone would stop and you’d sort of say a few words and it was really beautiful,’ Clarke said.

‘I mean, I got three words in before I just completely broke down. You just hold it in and you’re holding it in and you’re holding it in, and then I just burst into tears like a complete idiot.’

It isn’t just parting speeches which were made either, with Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran Stark, recently revealing the grim present he received after filming concluded.

Game Of Thrones season eight kicks off 14 April on Sky Atlantic, HBO and is available to watch on NOW TV.

PewDiePie has made a donation to Brooklyn’s Cadman Plaza after a fan defaced a WWII memorial.

The YouTuber was disgusted after an unknown fan etched the phrase ‘Subscribe To Pewdiepie’ – in reference to the vlogger’s battle with T-Series – into the park’s stone memorial.

The gamer, real name Felix Kjellberg, denounced the vandalism, saying on Pew News: ‘I don’t think I’ve done anything to condone this sort of behaviour. Obviously it’s disgusting, obviously I don’t condone it whatsoever.

‘I don’t know why anyone got it in their mind to do this, it’s stupid.’

Thankfully, the vandalism has now been removed, with one of Pewds’ followers notifying him of the clean-up.

PewDiePie shared a screenshot of a tweet reading: ‘The graffiti is gone, my girlfriend lives right across the street and checked it out this afternoon’, with pictures showing the etching had been scrubbed away.

The 29-year-old vlogger wrote: ‘The text has been removed from Memorial. Made a donation to the park also, glad this got fixed.’

Felix’s fans applauded his donation, with one writing: ‘Nice guy pewdiepie’ and another commenting: ‘This is why you are number one. Not just on YouTube but in our hearts.’

While the star has been encouraging the campaign to keep him in the YouTube top spot, which has so far involved billboards, radio adverts, and fans hacking printers and video games, he’s previously made it clear that he doesn’t want anyone breaking the law for him.

‘All the support to keep me on top is so funny, I love it,’ Felix said, before adding: ‘Please keep it up. Just don’t do anything illegal okay? Because that will look bad on me.’

The battle between PewDiePie and Indian film production channel T-Series has been raging on since November, when both channels were around the 67 million subscriber mark.

Currently, they both boast more than 89 million, with the pair of them inching closer to the big 9-0.

Felicity Huffman was arrested over her alleged involvement in a college admissions bribery case.

And now after being released from custody on a $250,000 (£190,000) bail, David Mamet has penned an open letter addressing the issue of elite college admissions.

Here the screen writer addresses the ‘unfortunate’ scandal.

The 71-year-old wrote: ‘I worked for very many years in and around our Elite Universities. I am able to report that their admissions policies are an unfortunate and corrupt joke.

‘Harvard was once sued for restricting the admission of qualified Jews; a contest currently being waged by Asians.’

The star added: ‘The unqualified may be accepted for many reasons, among them, as Legacies, and on account of large donations made by their parents.

‘I do not see the difference between getting a kid into school by bribing the Building Committee, and by bribing someone else. But, apparently, the second is against the Law. So be it.’

The colleges themselves are not alleged to have been involved in this case and the indictment says that most of the children allegedly involved had no knowledge.

He claimed that the parental ‘zeal’ for their children’s future can be overcome by ones better judgement and claimed: ‘It is, I know we parents would agree, a universal phenomenon.’

Talking about his relationship with the desperate Housewives actress, Felicity Huffman who is one of the 46 people charged and faces a single felony count of mail fraud, he continued by lending her his support: ‘I’ve known and worked with Bill Macy for nearly fifty years.

‘We started two theatre companies together, one of which, THE ATLANTIC is still in operation in New York, after 35 years.

‘I’ve known Felicity Huffman for those 35 years, she was my student, my colleague, worked in many of my films, and created roles on stage in three of my plays.

‘I’m crazy about them both,’ Macy has not been charged.

Huffman has been accused in a case allegedly involving 45 others and the alleged payment bribes to influence admissions into elite US colleges, and is now facing charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.

If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison.

JLS have confirmed they won’t be reuniting for the X Factor: All Stars later this year – or anytime in the distant future for that matter.

The singers, Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes and JB Gill, came second on the ITV show back in 2008, but later went their separate ways in 2013 and it looks like it’s going to stay that way, meaning they won’t be appearing on Simon Cowell’s new spin-off.

The judge announced last month that there will be two editions of X Factor set to air in the autumn, a celebrity version and an All Stars version which would see previous contestants return.

But that isn’t enough to persuade JLS to reform, with Marvin telling Daily Star Online: ‘Obviously we are not a band at the minute but we are super close.

‘We are best mates but I think we’ll watch it instead. We wouldn’t just reunite like that.

‘It’s a big deal if we’re to ever do that and I don’t we would just do it for the show.’

He added: ‘It’s not on the cards… we all have kids and puppies and are getting married. We have busy lives. A lot has changed in 10 or 11 years.’

It’s not just JLS who won’t be making an appearance on the All Stars show though, as James Arthur told us that he’s ‘too busy’ to film.

X Factor: All Stars is expected to land on ITV in the autumn.

Holly Willoughby found out her Tric award had been lost by the This Morning team when she returned to the show after a day’s absence.

Holly didn’t appear on the show on Tuesday as she attended her grandmother’s funeral.

She joined Phillip Schofield on Wednesday and opened the episode to talk about her Tric award, but found out that it had been misplaced.

Phillip told her that it might have been last seen ‘in a McDonald’s’ and Holly begged the team to make sure she got it.

He said: ‘Before we start I’ve got to say congratulations to Holly. She won the TV personality award at yesterday’s Tric Awards.’

Holly added: ‘It was amazing. Thank you. It was a lovely thing to win.

‘I couldn’t be there to accept the award but it was lovely. I work on some amazing programmes, I’m a lucky girl.’

Phil went on: ‘The problem is, you couldn’t be there to pick it up. We can’t actually find the award.

‘Sources close to this show say that Eamonn gave the award to our editor Martin. He thought one of our team had it.

‘So if anyone has seen Holly’s Tric award pop it in the post. There’s a possibility the last time it was seen was in McDonald’s.’

Holly said: ‘I’m assuming its got my name on it, and it’s gold and it looks a bit like a giant bottle opener, so if you’ve seen anything like that hanging around.

‘But please don’t use it [as a bottle opener] send it back because I’d quite like it.’

Phil said: ‘If anyone has got it, in the team, if you’re watching from home and not sobered up yet…then let us know.’

Holly joked: ‘Thank you to the team for celebrating on my behalf as well I very much appreciate it.’

They later found out that the missing trophy was last seen by Dr Zoe and Dr Ranj.

‘Who’d have thought the doctors have got it?’ Holly said.

I am so shocked. You’ve let us down, you’ve let yourselves down, you’ve let the award down,’ Phil added.

‘Can I have it back?’ Holly asked sweetly.

Ranj tweeted a picture of himself with Holly’s award and joked: ‘Not guilty guv, honest!’

This Morning airs weekdays from 10.30am on ITV.

Fearne left the show as team captain after 10 years as she decided to take a new direction with her career.

Given that the hosts had a pact to all leave together when one decided to pack it in, Keith was worried that Holly was going to follow her pal out the door.

Speaking on Wednesday’s This Morning, Holly spoke about finding out Fearne was leaving.

She said: ‘When Fearne said she was leaving it was a bit of a shock for both of us, wasn’t it? I mean because you start it together from the beginning and it was always gonna be weird.’

Keith said: ‘I panicked and I thought you were gonna leave as well.’

‘I thought you were gonna say the same thing too,’ Holly replied.

Phil asked the hosts about their pact to leave the show together, to which Holly replied: ‘We did initially but we didn’t know that it was gonna be so long and so fun.

‘What happened was I think we just really enjoy making the show still and I don’t think we were ready for it to stop yet.’

Keith added: ‘You can’t just go, “Oh I’m not doing it” because you enjoy it so much.’

Paddy McGuinness has replaced Fearne as team captain for the new series, and said he had such a great time filming that ‘you do forget you’re on telly.’

Paddy, who filmed the episode on Tuesday night, explained: ‘I did feel nervous at first. I’ve done every series, I know everybody.

‘But when I sat there I thought “Oh I’ve gotta introduce people and be a little bit more authoritative”.

‘That lasted for about two minutes and a couple of pints! I were rolling on the floor with Mark Wright and I’m like we’re in. We’re off.’

You might have heard of a show called Bodyguard. It starred Richard Madden, won a truck load of awards, and dominated the ratings. So where the David Budd is series two?

The hit BBC drama became one of the biggest shows of last year, coupled up with Killing Eve, but a seemingly inevitable announcement of a second season has yet to materialise.

Turns out, a follow-up appears to be on the cards – with creator Jed Mercurio explaining the delay is down to ‘logistics’ in whacking his ideas on paper.

Speaking at the INTV conference in Israel (via Deadline), Mercurio said: ‘It would be great if there was a second season.

‘We’d love to do more. We appreciate there’s a real hunger from fans to watch it. There are a lot of logistics in terms of setting up a second season and we’re just working through those.’

Considering Bodyguard became one of the most successful shows ever aired on the BBC, a second series has been an assumed given since the finale aired.

If you need David Budd’s face back in your life now, however, there’s always the upcoming one-off Red Nose Day special. Pipe down cynics, it’s for charity, alright?

You can catch Bodyguard streaming on BBC iPlayer, with Comic Relief taking place on Friday 15 March.

The spirit of LucasArts is invoked for a brand-new graphic adventure featuring some impressively realistic looking visuals…

Faye Brookes and Gareth Gates' relationship - from meeting to planning their wedding

If you’re still invested in the world of graphic adventures then you’ll know that while most mainstream companies no longer have anything to do with them there is still a thriving indie community for the genre. And for some reason most of the developers tend to be German. As the seat of power for the genre has shifted from California to Germany that’s inevitably caused some changes, and Trüberbrook illustrates some of the best and worst aspects of them.

Germany’s love for the genre seems to stem simply from the fact that the PC has always been the primary gaming format in the country and LucasArts adventures, in particular, have always been very popular there. As such, a lot of the homegrown entries have tended to be similar in style to mid-era LucasArts titles such as The Dig and The Curse Of Monkey Island.

That’s certainly true of Trüberbrook, which has a very familiar-looking interface and a mostly side-on view of the world. Despite being set in rural West Germany during the 1960s there’s a lot of obvious influence from modern fantasy shows such as The X-Files and Twin Peaks, but the most immediately remarkable thing about Trüberbrook is its graphics which rather than being computer-generated are all handmade, miniature scale models. Which technically means this is the most realistic looking adventure game ever.

Although the game is filled with authentic German accents the protagonist is an American scientist named Hans Tannhauser, come to holiday in the small town of Trüberbrook after winning the trip in a lottery he doesn’t remember entering. That proves to be just as suspicious as it sounds, as his attempts to overcome a mental block while working on his PhD paper leads to a gradual unravelling of just how strange a place Trüberbrook is.

The idea of using miniatures to create the graphics for a game is not an entirely new concept, with Lumino City being perhaps the best-known recent example – although Nintendo has also tried to replicate the general look in a number of games, including the upcoming Yoshi’s Crafted World. Developer btf’s background seems to be in filmmaking as much as games and as such the models and dioramas they’ve created are wonderfully beautiful.

They’re hugely impressive in terms of artistic design, with amazing attention to detail, but also on a technical level. Most of the sets are reused in different lighting and weather conditions, and where possible all the effects are purely physical – from torch beams casting about on walls to falling snow. All the human characters are computer-generated though and perhaps the most remarkable achievement of all is that they blend in perfectly with the backdrops and never look like they’re just walking in front of a greenscreen.

However, the way the characters are posed is often weirdly uncinematic – as they chat away about important plot points with their back to the screen and you realise that the game’s inability to zoom in is a considerable detriment; even though that could be brushed off as purposefully sticking as close as possible to the LucasArts formula.

Despite their limitations, the graphics in Trüberbrook are hugely appealing, but as soon as you start playing the game in earnest you realise the real problems. For a game trying to evoke the golden age of LucasArts the puzzles are disappointingly illogical and unsatisfying. Rather than lateral thinking the main skill you’re forced to practice is that old mainstay of lesser adventure games: use everything with everything until you stumble across the solution by accident.

You’ll find there’s already a button you can press to highlight all interactive objects on-screen, but while that means you’re never stuck for too long we failed to understand the logic of many puzzles even after we’d beaten them. Together with the overly streamlined interface and linear progression it becomes a surprisingly trivial task to progress through the game, which is a problem in itself as it’s only about four hours long and quite expensive.

We’d say that maybe btf should’ve just made the game as a short film but that’s not going to help the even greater problem of the dialogue. The game appears to have been written in German and translated into English, at times it seems by Google Translate. You can understand everything, but the sentence construction and phraseology is often extremely awkward. So much so that we thought at first that the game was trying to simulate the locals speaking to Hans in purposefully strangled English. But he does it too, so it’s obviously not that.

What also doesn’t help is that Hans himself is not a very interesting character and yet large sections of the game only feature him talking away to himself and doing a poor impression of Guybrush Threepwood. The attempts at humour are often weirdly inappropriate too, considering what’s going on in the story at the time, and it all comes across as rather desperate and amateurish.

As has been the case for video games throughout the ages, good graphics do not make a good game. And it doesn’t matter whether the visuals get their beauty from a handcrafted model or a clever bit of programming – if a game’s not fun to play then it’s not much of a game at all.

Comic Relief is offering Toy Story fans a real chance of getting in that toy box with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, with a competition that offers one winner the chance to voice a new character.

‘Sheriff, this is no time to panic…’

BBC Radio 2 have only gone and teamed up with the brains behind our favourite Pixar film ever to offer one lucky fan the chance to win a voice cameo role.

And, not only will you get to hear your voice in the final film, the prize also includes travel to London and accommodation for the winner to record their voiceover.

Excitement ahead of Toy Story 4, which is set for release on 21 June, continues to build as more clips and previews of the upcoming new film emerge.

Seriously, every time we hear Randy Newman’s You’ve Got A Friend In Me, we can feel the tears building up.

The new film will feature at least three new characters, Forky – who is most definitely a spork – and Ducky and Bunny, voiced by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key, who appear to be prizes at the Star Adventure game at a fun fair.

The latest trailer however got very meta, with the newbies discussing their reactions to a previous Toy Story 4 trailer that was released, despite being in the film themselves.

They then started doing impressions of Buzz, before Woody and the space ranger himself come on screen to show them how it’s done – not that Ducky and Bunny are having any of it.

We sense a toy battle and we are here for it!

To find out how to enter the Radio 2 Toy Story Prize Draw, visit www.bbc.co.uk/radio2.

Entries close at 6pm on Friday 15 March.

Everyone knows what to expect from a music concert. The lights go down, the audience erupts into a chorus of applause and the idolised superstar arrives on stage, bursting with energy, ready to entertain the throng of their adoring fans for one night only.

It’s pretty spectacular.

But, ever wondered what happens once the curtains close and the lights go up? Are there diva tantrums? Catty fights between dancers? Tour riders demanding vitamin water to bathe pet dogs? Yes Mariah, we might be looking at you for that one, girl.

If all these things have come to mind, you’re in the right place as Metro.co.uk will give you an all-access, backstage look into what it really takes to make the tours of your favourite popstars come to life, as well as reminiscing on those unique moments that made headline news.

Touring is not only an experience for the performer and the fans – the backing dancers, singers, stylists and others are also very much a part of the process and, perhaps more importantly, the backbone of these mammoth shows.

So grab your backstage pass as we get the inside scoop from Britney Spears dancer, Jae Fusz, because – in this case – What Happens On Tour (Doesn’t) Stay On Tour…

“All of my dreams came true that audition day and it definitely kick-started the dance career that I have now”

Jae Fusz has been a member of Britney’s dance troupe since 2013 when he joined the singer’s Femme Fatale Tour.

It was a dream that had finally been realised two years after Jae first auditioned to become one of Britney’s cherished dancers.

Suffering every performer’s worst nightmare, Jae ‘messed up’ the routine to Hold It Against Me – the horror – but the gods were on his side as, five rounds later, he finally made it through.

‘They offered me and two others the job on the spot,’ Jae recalls.

‘I remember being speechless and numb. All of my dreams came true that day and it definitely was the kick start to the dance career that I have now.

‘That tour was directed by Jamie King who is a legend in the industry so getting to work under him and Britney was the experience of a lifetime.’

A few years later, Jae had the opportunity to work with Britney again on the Piece Of Me residency in Las Vegas but this time, his competition was with around 500 other dancers who had to be cut down to just eight men.

Anyone else sweating for him?

While Jae did sail through, he was touring with Kesha at the time so couldn’t commit to the residency. It wasn’t until he’d finished the Kesha tour and a Britney dancer got hurt two weeks later that he was able to finally bag a spot in the troupe.

‘It was meant to be,’ Jae says with relief.

“Britney is one the nicest, most normal, down to earth artists I’ve ever worked for”

Britney, 37, is without a doubt one of the most celebrated popstars of the past two decades.

Whether it’s about her talent or personal life, everyone has an opinion on the beloved icon.

But what you won’t hear about are diva tantrums backstage as Jae says Britney is as far from an entitled popstar as you could meet.

‘Britney is one the nicest, most normal, down to earth artists I’ve ever worked for,’ he reveals.

What a compliment.

He continued: ‘She’s super goofy and loves to laugh which, during long eight hour rehearsals, was when we would spend the most time with her and really connect.

‘Preparing for a new show you usually rehearse six days a week, eight hour days for three months so that’s where the bonding really happens.’

According to Jay, a typical show day consists of free time in the morning and afternoon, which he uses to hit the gym and unwind. The dancers usually get a ‘lobby call’ at around 3pm when they are picked up at the hotel and whisked off to the venue for sound check and a quick rehearsal.

The team then eat dinner and prepare for the big show before hitting that stage at 9pm.

Once the show’s done, it’s often straight onto the tour bus if they have a performance in another city the next night, or they might fly out the following morning.

All in a day’s work.

“Britney wouldn’t go out with us really – she’s a mum and has her kids a lot”

Feel good vibes today. Thanks everyone for coming. ROUND 2 tomorrow @immaspace 9pm . . . Song: NASA @arianagrande Studio: @mdcdance Dancers: @lockybrownlie @henriquos @vvladimirov @jamesmyrick_ #jaefuszchoreography #arianagrande #milleniumdancecomplex

A post shared by jaefusz (@jaefusz) on Feb 24, 2019 at 6:42pm PST

When they were lucky enough to be in one city for more than a day, the team enjoyed nights out together, bonding as a ‘family’.

As for Britney, Jae says: ‘[She] wouldn’t go out with us really, she’s a mum and has her kids a lot. But occasionally she would take us to a nice dinner which was always fun times.

‘The dancers wouldn’t really go out the night before a show because it was very physically demanding.’

It’s a common misconception that dancers are always rivalling each other but Jae couldn’t speak more highly of his fellow choreographers.

‘The dancers on these tours became and are some of my best friends,’ he admits.

‘When you travel the world with people you develop this special bond that lasts beyond the job. You work together, party together, go out to eat together, and end up on other jobs as well with each other. You really become this kind of tour family.’

“I fractured my foot – that was hard because I wasn’t sure if they were going to replace me”

But what happens when a crisis strikes?

Unfortunately, it did for Jae who recalls: ‘When Piece Of Me first opened, I fractured my foot and was out for three months from dancing.

‘That was hard because I wasn’t sure if they were going to replace me. But they didn’t and I had to do a lot of physical therapy to get my foot back as quick as possible. It was hard not being able to dance.’

Eventually, the show must go on, as they say.

“We’ve definitely seen some crazy things”

Let it be known, Britney has one of the most loyal group of fans in the world.

And apparently, the love fans have for her extends to her backing dancers too.

Recalling the fandemonium on the Britney tours, Jae admits: ‘We’ve definitely seen some crazy things.

‘Fans have ran up on stage before which can be pretty scary because you don’t know what people are capable of. Her fans love to dress up in her iconic looks which is always fun.

‘Me personally I’ve seen a fan get the exact same flag tattoo that I have.’

Now that’s dedication.

So there you have it, a look inside the life of a superstar touring artist and her crew.

But before we leave, there’s one touring tradition that happens in the final moments before hitting the stage.

‘Britney always did a prayer circle,’ Jae reveals.

‘At the end we put our hands in and, whatever the chant is of the night, we always add “bitches” after. So we might chant “it’s the weekend bitches”.’

What better way to mic drop?

Oscar Isaac has confirmed that the much anticipated movie Star Wars Episode IX will be the last of the Skywalker saga.

In an interview on Today, the 40-year-old spoke about the upcoming film, and how it will mark the end of the franchise.

Chatting to the host, the actor who plays Poe Dameron in the sequel trilogy, reflected on the film and J.J. Abrams’ decision to bring it to an end.

He said: ‘It is the end of the entire Skywalker saga.

‘Nine stories. This is the culmination of the entire thing. What J.J. has done, and the entire Lucasfilm team, is incredibly fulfilling.

‘It’s also special for us because you get to learn a lot more things about these characters.’

The franchise began back in 1977, where Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher played the main three protagonists.

Following the news of the Princess Leia star’s death, it has been revealed that unseen footage of the late actress will be used in the next and final installment.

Oscar added: ‘We’ve thought about her so much, her spirit is there.

‘Billie Lourd, her daughter, came and played a part that she played in the last couple of films so her spirit was definitely there with us, and we’re missing her a lot.’

At the time the decision was made to used the unreleased clips, J.J wrote in a statement: ‘We desperately loved Carrie Fisher.

‘Finding a truly satisfying conclusion to the Skywalker saga without her eluded us. We were never going to recast, or use a CG (computer-generated) character.

‘With the support and blessing from her daughter, Billie, we have found a way to honor Carrie’s legacy and role as Leia in Episode IX by using unseen footage we shot together in Episode VII.’

Much of the cast and crew have remained tight lipped over Episode IX, however star of the show John Boyega recently let slip that there is a significant time jump.

According an Empire article: ‘John Boyega has confirmed the film takes place one year after the events of The Last Jedi.’

Episode IX will also see veterans Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, and Billy Dee Williams return to the galaxy along with new faces Matt Smith, Dominic Monaghan, Naomi Ackie, Richard E. Grant and Keri Russell also joining the cast.

Star Wars Episode IX will premiere on 20 December this year.

Kim Kardashian is a fashionista in her own right, with Balmain, Versace and Calvin Klein tripping over themselves to dress her.

But even worldwide style icons need to look up to someone for inspiration.

It turns out Kim has been modelling herself on Naomi Campbell, and we didn’t even realise it.

No, she’s not sparking romance rumours with Liam Payne – although that would be quite the surreal scandal.

The 38-year-old has been wearing a number of outfits lately that were previously rocked by supermodel Naomi – with some of the vintage looks modelled by Ms Campbell on the runway reappearing in Kim’s closet.

Most recently, Kim gave a nod to Clueless – ‘But it’s an Alaïa!’ – by wearing a daring cheetah-print bodysuit with black velvet accents while attending Paris Fashion Week.

While Kim teamed her Azzedine Alaïa look with a black beret, Naomi chose to go accessory free when she wore the same outfit at the Maybelline Presents 1991 Look of the Year event in 1991.

Naomi also modelled the look for Azzedine Alaïa’s ’91-’92 show – the true original.

And in December 2018, Kim wore two Naomi classics on the trot – first wearing the silver Versace mini-dress that we connected to Paris Hilton and Kendall Jenner’s 21st dresses.

Naomi wore a very similar design with a draped cowl neck at the 1997 Video Music Awards, making us wish we were at the 1997 Video Music Awards.

The night after the Versace show, Kim attended the press night of The Cher Show, and wowed in a shredded backless silver gown from Atelier Versace… which, you guessed it, was worn by Naomi first.

The 48-year-old wore the same dress to the 2015 Fragrance Foundation Awards in 2015, 17 years after she first modelled the dress on the runway.

And this copycatting extends to 2016, when Kim wore an in-your-face bondage look to a Met Gala afterparty.

The Versace dress from the aptly titled Miss S&M collection was modelled by Naomi in their 1992 show, while she brought the racy dress back for an episode of The Face in 2014.

And the hits just keep coming, as the lilac silk dress worn by Kim to Chance The Rapper’s wedding was strutted down the catwalk in 1996 by… well, you fill in the blanks.

We doubt Kim is actually stealing Naomi’s style, though – we see it more as a hat tip to one of the queens of the runway, and the 90s style Kim covets.

You know what they say – imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

The man that put the PlayerUnknown into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will now no longer be working on the game.

Meet the friends reimagining networking for professional women

The developer that almost single-handedly helped to popularise battle royale is stepping away from his most famous creation, although he will be staying at company PUBG Corp.

Brendan Greene will be moving from Seoul to Amsterdam in order to lead up a new division called PUBG Special Projects, although he will remain as a ‘consulting creative director’ for PUBG itself.

‘The past five years of my life has been all about battle royale,’ said Greene said in in a statement released on Twitter.

‘It’s been an incredible journey and our game has reached heights I never thought possible. Seeing the game grow into what it is today has been a dream come true and I can’t thank our fans and the incredible team at PUBG Corporation enough.’

‘We are tasked with exploring, experimenting, and creating new technologies, tools, pipelines, and gameplay; but for me, it is more than that. Together with a team of game developers and researchers, we will explore new possibilities of interaction and connection within the game space’, he said of his new role.

‘So, I can’t wait to start this new journey with a new team in a new city, play some games again, and see what the future holds.’

Greene has been experimenting with battle royale and similar concepts since at least 2013, when he worked on a popular mod for DayZ. He moved from there to H1Z1 and eventually to working in South Korea for what was then known as developer Bluehole.

PUBG itself launch on Steam in December 2017 and became an instant hit. To this day it remains the second most popular game on Steam with an extremely successful, and lucrative, mobile version in Asia.

However, since the advent of Fortnite and other more mainstream battle royale games PUBG has come under increasing criticism for its technical flaws, even though that seems to have only barely dented its popularity.

The PUBG team will now be led by Taeseok Jang, who has previously worked as art director on the game.

Chris Evans has been accused of ‘bottling’ his appearance on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing.

The Virgin Radio Breakfast Show host, who pretty much confirmed rumours that he’ll be hitting the ballroom in 2019, told guest Andrew Garfield that he’s in two minds about taking part on the BBC show because of the cartilage in his knee.

The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew grilled Chris about whether he’d be making moves on the ballroom floor, beginning: ‘This is really the reason I wanted to come and talk to you this morning, because I heard you were maybe going to be on it and I thought…’

‘And you wanted to get your tickets?’ asked Chris.

‘Not even that,’ replied Andrew. ‘Actually, honestly, I think it’s a match made in heaven. On my sabbatical, one of the many things I’ve done and maybe the most important thing I’ve done on my sabbatical, is I’ve realised how important Strictly Come Dancing is, not only for the British public but for me as an individual.

‘It’s my favourite new past time to sit and get overly invested in whether Stacey Dooley’s going to win or not. I hoped she would win and I was very happy to see it.’

He continued: ‘When I heard you were going to do it, I thought you have to give the people what they want and that is what everyone in this country wants!’

Instead of giving Andrew a straight answer, Chris moaned: ‘But I’ve got an issue with my left meniscus,’ talking about the cartilage between his shinbone and thighbone.

Andrew didn’t give up the chase there though, and probed: ‘Tell us about this. Tell us really specifically about what is wrong with your knee.’

‘You think I maybe bottling it?’ asked Chris. It’s a scary thing to step into.’

Strictly Come Dancing is set to return to the BBC later this year.

In case you didn’t get the memo, horror is an all-year-round event that’s not just reserved for the spooky celebrations of Halloween. And joyfully, we’re seriously spoilt for choice this year with 2019 offering an exciting new slate of sequels, remakes and creature features to scare us out of our wits.

While the first two months of the year were a little sleepy on the horror front, March will kick-start a steady stream of releases that you’ll probably struggle to catch your breath in the midst of frights and scares.

So here’s all the anticipated new horror releases you should be looking out for in 2019…

Us (22 March)

Fresh from his Get Out glory, Jordan Peele is back with another mind-bending horror that, frankly, looks even more twisted than his Oscar-nominated hit.

Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke star as a married couple who take their kids on a beach getaway with their family friends, including Elisabeth Moss.

Before long, four strangers break into their holiday home but – here’s where it gets weird – the intruders look like versions of themselves.

To be honest, the poster says it all. Good luck.

The Prodigy (15 March)

Marking her foray into a darker genre, Orange Is The New Black star Taylor Schilling plays a mum whose young son, Miles, exhibits disturbing behaviour, suggesting that evil supernatural forces have overtaken him.

We’re on-board.

Child’s Play (21 June)

Come on, did you really think Hollywood were done with Chucky?

Granted, the previous 578 Child’s Play sequels descended into increasingly sheer madness with each one but 2019’s version actually looks haunting.

The horror remake, directed by Lars Klevberg, will see Aubrey Plaza starring as Andy’s mother Karen Barclay. Karen buys her son a new toy doll for his birthday which, of course, turns out to be one of the worst ideas in Hollywood cinema history.

Prepare for that pesky little doll to haunt your dreams yet again.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark (9 August)

Be warned, a classic from your childhood that promises to haunt you as an adult.

Scary Stories is adapted from the chilling children’s book series and will follow a group of teens as they try to solve the mystery surrounding the sudden deaths in their small town.

Directed by Guillermo del Toro, it appears the Scary Stories movie will serve as an anthology of sorts, looping in various tales from the books.

So basically, you won’t be sleeping that night.

Pet Sematary (4 April)

A horror remake we have longed for and it’s finally coming to fruition thanks to directors Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer.

John Lithgow, Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz star in this new adaptation of Stephen King’s frightful novel, which has been given a plot makeover.

It will follow Dr Louis and Rachel Creed whose eldest child Emily is killed after being run over, rather than their young son Gage, adding to a whole new level of creepiness.

The Curse Of La Llorona (3 May)

Linda Cardellini stars in this eerie horror about a mother who is suspected of child endangerment, drawing a social worker and her own kids into a terrifying supernatural realm.

Throw in a priest and a demon with a creepy name and you have yourselves a hit not to be missed.

Ma (31 May)

So in a sentence, this looks absolutely bonkers.

Octavia Spencer takes the lead in this offbeat psychological horror-thriller, which sees the Oscar-winner star as a lonely woman who befriends a group of teens and lets them party at her house.

That in itself is creepy enough. We’re sold.

It: Chapter 2 (6 September)

If you’re still recovering from the first installment of It, then sorry, but you’ll probably have to get over the scare sharpish as the sequel is coming to town later this year.

Bill Skarsgard reprises his role as Pennywise, also known as the world’s most terrifying clown, to haunt the Losers Club yet again. This time it’s 27 years later and the crew are drawn back to the terror of their childhood thanks to a phone call.

Brightburn (21 June)

Wait – Elizabeth Banks in a horror movie? Sign us up.

In a nutshell, a child crash lands on Earth from outer space and it soon transpires that he’s far from innocent and has sinister intentions.

Yep, we’re into it.

I Trapped The Devil (26 April)

Erm, so you’ll probably never use a basement again after watching I Trapped A Devil.

Starring This Is Us actor Chris Sullivan and AJ Bowen from You’re Next, the horror takes place at Christmas (only the happiest time of year) and follows Matt (Bowen) and his wife Karen, who show up unannounced at his estranged brother’s house just in time for the festive celebrations.

Well, when they arrive at Steve’s house, the couple are greeted by a mysterious guest. As it turns out, Steve is harbouring a strange man in his basement and it’s none other than the devil himself, waiting to give Matt and Karen a welcome surprise no doubt.

Guessing he didn’t wrap any Christmas presents though.

Greta (18 April)

The last time we saw Isabelle Huppert, she was running around in the obscenely twisted Elle.

This time, she’s running around in an obscenely twisted Greta, alongside Chloe Grace Moretz.

A young woman befriends a lonely widow who, of course, is harbouring a dark and deadly agenda.

It looks as barmy as it sounds and we can’t wait to see it.

47: Metres Down – Uncaged (16 August)

OK, don’t turn your noses up, everyone loves a good shark attack tale… right?

The first installment was a pleasant surprise – albeit for a slightly silly ending – so we’re intrigued to see where the sequel will take us and whether it’ll have as many heartstopping moments as the first.

This time, our new protagonists are still 47 Metres Down apparently and, again, trapped in a shark cage at the bottom of the ocean with less than an hour of oxygen left and great white sharks circling their prey.

Anyone else feeling claustrophobic already?

Honorable mentions: Doctor Sleep (31 October), Annabelle 3 (28 June), Crawl (23 August)

Sleep tight.

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May try to be down with the kids in an upcoming episode of The Grand Tour, as they are tasked with trying to make hatchbacks appeal to young people.

The hosts take their hatchbacks to the rallycross track and let them rip in the next episode, called The Youth Vote.

So far, so Grand Tour. But things get harder for these presenters of a certain age when they’re told to stop messing about on the track and make the hatchbacks appeal to young people.

Jeremy has to start bigging up the VW Polo GTI, with Hammond getting the Ford Fiesta ST and May a Toyota Yaris GRMN.

To accomplish their mission, the trio get hip stickers and slogans and use social media to take on a series of challenges, with the aim of securing support from milennials.

The tasks involve fake punctures, a juicing diaster which is giving us some pretty grim images in our minds right now, and Hammond somehow managing to spell Stormzy wrong.

Elsewhere Richard and James are at the Eboladrome seeing how two iconic motors from the 80s – the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarocca – stack up against each other.

James will be taking a bit of a break from his co-hosts to strike out on own in new travel show Our Man In…Japan.

It will serve as the first of a collection from the Amazon Prime team with Clarkson and Hammond also going on solo adventures.

We will follow James around the country as he explores the numerous elements that make the country so unique, heading from North to South over the course of the series as he discovers what drives their whole culture and what their approach to life can teach the rest of us.

‘James can’t speak the language, he is clueless about Japanese etiquette, but at least he knows there’s a small tree called a banzai…’ the show synopsis teases.

The Grand Tour season three drops Fridays on Amazon Prime.

The Walking Dead’s Tom Payne has been cast in a brand new Fox drama pilot Prodigal Son.

Tom’s character Jesus met a gruesome death in the the AMC zombie show when he was killed off by the Whisperers, but it won’t be long before we see him on our television screens once more, as he’ll be replacing Iron Fist’s Finn Jones.

Finn was confirmed to be playing the part just four days ago, but the role has since been recast, with Deadline reporting that the change is due to creative differences.

The publication reports that the decision was made after a table read earlier this week, where Finn had been given the role just a day before.

Tom is said to be joining Michael Sheen and Scandal’s Bellamy Young, who’ve also been cast as main roles in the show.

Although details of Prodigal Son have been kept under wraps, it’s been teased that it’ll be a fresh take on a crime franchise, with Tom’s character Malcolm Bight, understanding how killers operate.

The logline adds that Malcolm will ‘use his twisted genius and razor-sharp instincts as a forensic profiler to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother (Bellamy), annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son and his own constantly evolving neuroses.

‘Intelligent but deeply damaged, Malcolm has a self-deprecating sense of humor and a surprising level of compassion.’

Tom Fletcher is one proud dad and equally as loved up with his wife Giovanna, as he didn’t hold back when praising her on their son’s birthday.

Taking to Instagram to congratulate Buzz on turning five-years-old, the singer also spared a moment for his girl.

Sharing a picture of his wifey during labour and another of her today, the father-of-three wrote: ‘On the left is @mrsgifletcher in the middle of labour.

‘Having been up all night she decided she wanted to stop for breakfast on the way to the labour ward (she was having contractions in the restaurant…) and who was I to argue with a woman about to push a human out of her do-dah!’

He added: ‘On the right is her today, 5 years and 3 kids later! Today is most definitely all about Buzz but didn’t want to forget what a monumental moment it was for @mrsgifletcher and I starting our family 5 years ago today. X’

In another post dedicated to Buzz, he said: ‘Can’t believe this little laughing fella is 5.

‘He changed my life completely and though it’s so hard to watch them get bigger and grow up, he is turning into such a brilliant, clever little person who surprises me every single day.’

While fans were left giggling at Tom’s appreciation post, Giovanna was taking a more serious approach to her son’s big day.

Celebrating the occasion, the 34-year-old went and melted hearts by sharing a throwback to when the tot was a newborn.

In the short video she could be heard singing The Sound Of Music’s Edelweiss, as she cradled the little one in her arms.

Writing to her 1.1million followers, the author said: ‘My little baby turned 5 years old today… oh Buzz! It has been such a joy to be your Mumma!

‘You have taught me so much about myself and have completely changed our lives. You’re funny, loving, devoted, bonkers, clever and completely over the top.’

She added: ‘I wouldn’t want it any other way.’

The couple share three sons together, Buzz who has just turned five, Buddy who is three, and their latest addition to the family Max – who was born in August last year.

When announcing the news to their fans, Giovanna said: ‘Welcome to the world Max Mario Fletcher! Born yesterday at 3:06pm weighing 7pounds.

‘We can’t wait to get home and introduce him to his big brothers… they’re very excited! Xxx’

The Simpsons have had hundreds of celebrity guests over the past 30 seasons, but the mystery surrounding why the planned Prince episode never appeared has kept fans on both sides intrigued.

Now, show writer Mike Reiss has revealed that the show actually coming into existence was actually painfully close, but ultimately it was the Purple One himself who pulled the plug.

Prince, who died in April 2016 in his Minnesota home, left behind a perfectionist legacy, and unfortunately his artistic temperament just didn’t gel with The Simpsons team.

The original plan for the episode would’ve seen Leon Kompowsky – a psychiatric patient convinced he was Michael Jackson – return with a new identity, believing himself to be Prince.

‘He would have this very benevolent, Prince-like effect on the whole city,’ Mike explained to CityPages.

‘They’d be dressing more flamboyantly, embracing their sexuality. And we’d obviously have songs and performances by Prince. So it was a lovely idea.’

The character of Leon held a mystery to him for years, with no one ever certain that it was actually Michael Jackson who voiced the role and the star being given no credit. It was only years later it was confirmed to be the Thriller star himself.

But Prince and Jackson held a long rivalry, and despite writer Conan O’Brien (yup, that Conan O’Brien’s) best efforts, Prince wasn’t happy to take on that role, and the whole episode was buried, never to see the light of day.

After reading the wrong script, which was sent to the Kiss singer around the same time as the official one, Prince initially agreed – but to the unofficial version he’d gone through.

Weiss explained: ‘The first thing we did, is we looked at their script and—at least to our tastes—it was unusable. Then we sent him our version, and that was it: He just rejected it.’

Shortly after Prince’s death, the first page of the script was shown, with Leon meeting Marge’s sister Selma, and her mocking his films, Under The Cherry Moon and Graffiti Bridge.

Showrunner Al Jean also gave his thoughts on Prince’s ultimate decline – he didn’t want to be upstaged by Michael Jackson, his long-held rival.

Unfortunately, in light of controversial documentary Leaving Neverland, containing claims of sexual abuse on two young boys by Jackson, the 1993 episode Stark Raving Dad has been pulled out of circulation, and looks unlikely to return any time soon.

Because dropping a new album just isn’t enough for BTS, in the same week as they continued world domination with a new album it’s been announced they’ll make their Saturday Night Live debut.

Announced today as the musical guests for the show’s 13 April episode, the K-pop juggernauts will perform on the show with Emma Stone hosting.

Can you honestly imagine a better pairing?

Announcing three weeks’ worth of hosts and musical guests the SNL Twitter account shared their usual colourful post-it note cork board from 30 March- BTS’ episode next month.

‘*casually leaves this there*’ was the caption and judging by the immediate reaction, BTS Army was well and truly out in force and applauding the seven-piece with energy.

It comes mere days after they announced their latest album, which follows on from selling out Wembley Stadium.

Just when you thought 2018 was BTS’ year, 2019 goes and turns things up to 11.

Earlier this week it was announced their new album was only four weeks away, after reports swirled claiming BTS’s comeback had been shifted from May to mid-April.

Big Hit Entertainment confirmed on 11 March that the group’s new album will be available on 12 April – now we know to be the day before they perform on SNL.

What’s more, they unveiled the title – Map Of The Soul: Persona.

The shiny new release comes eight months after the band’s last album, Love Yourself: Answer, which smashed records as it became the band’s second album to hit number one in the US.

BTS last released IDOL in August 2018, with the Nicki Minaj featuring track achieving them a number one in Korea and reaching no 21 and no 11 in the UK and US respectively. BTS also released Airplane 2 in Japanese in November.

Oh, and embarked on a world tour that sold out all over the shop, and released a feature-length documentary.

Now they’re taking on US television, with acts on SNL usually performing two songs to a live audience (we can only assume will be filled with Army this time around).

The reactions were immediate on SNL’s Twitter account, with fans not handling such amazing mid-week news.

Evidently, we’re going to need to sit down to let this all sink in.

Fans were calling for them to be included in the episode’s skits (we call for a Kate McKinnon collaboration, c’mon!).

Others merely said: ‘SNL you can’t drop this on us and expect us to be okay.’

Unfortunately for those keen to get their hands on some tickets to watch BTS perform live, it’s a little tricky.

According to NBC’s ticketing website, the ballot for audience tickets for the show’s 2018-2019 season closed in August 2018, meaning we’re all late to the party should we want to land a seat for 13 April.

Guess we’ll all be huddled around our TV, then!
