Lori Loughlin’s daughters have reportedly decided to withdraw from USC in light of their parents being indicted over their alleged involvement in a college admissions bribe scam.

Lori and her husband Mossimo Giannulli are expected in court later this month, after being named as two of the individuals who have been charged in connection with alleged payments of up to $6 million used to get children into schools including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and USC.

TMZ reports that as the investigation continues their daughters, Olivia, 19, and Isabella, 20, have decided to leave USC (the University of the Sunshine Coast).

Sources told the publication that Olivia and Isabella have the ‘full support of their parents’ and the family are concerned if the girls were to stay at the college they would be subjected to ‘bullying’.

The sources added that Olivia, who was on board the yacht of a USC official with her friends in the Bahamas when news of the scam broke, is a ‘mess and despondent’ over the situation.

The girls are reportedly ‘laying low’ while the investigation plays out.

Metro.co.uk have contacted a rep for Lori Loughlin for comment.

Fuller House star Lori handed herself into authorities on Wednesday, following her return to Los Angeles from Vancouver. She was set a $1million release bond and reports suggest the actress ‘put her house up as collateral’ to secure the bond.

Her husband Giannulli was arrested at their home on Tuesday. He was set the same bond and required to surrender his passport.

It was understood Lori was granted permission to continue her work commitments with the Hallmark Channel in Vancouver and was required to surrender her passport in December, once her contracted work had come to an end.

However, it’s been confirmed Hallmark have dropped Lori in the wake of the investigation and will no longer be working with her.

Loughlin’s daughter Olivia has seen her partnerships with Sephora and Tresemme end with ‘immediate effect’.

Lori and husband Giannulli will appear in court in Boston on 29 March, alongside Felicity Huffman who has also been named in the investigation.

Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande came out on top at this year’s iHeart Radio Music Awards held in Los Angeles.

The awards saw the best of the music biz turn out to the Microsoft Theatre in LA, with Taylor leading the red carpet arrivals while decked out in sequins in a show-stopper of an outfit.

And it’s a good thing she was dressed to impress for the occasion, as Taylor found herself up on stage twice to pick up the awards for both Best Music Video with Delicate and Tour of the Year.

Swifty was awarded the prize for best tour of the year, thanks to her 2018 Reputation Tour, thanks to it becoming the highest-grossing tour by a female artist to date. Pretty impressive.

She had actually revealed in an interview with ELLE magazine that she was ‘completely terrified’ before going on tour because of the Manchester bombing at Ariana Grande’s concert in 2017.

‘After the Manchester Arena bombing and the Vegas concert shooting, I was completely terrified to go on tour this time because I didn’t know how we were going to keep 3 million fans safe over seven months,’ Taylor said.

Luckily for fans, she went ahead with the tour and is now reaping the rewards for her stellar show.

Ariana was actually the other big winner on the night, despite not actually being there at the ceremony as she is rehearsing for her upcoming tour.

Although, she did make sure to treat fans to a pre-recorded performance of her track Needy.

Ariana took home the awards for Female Artist of the Year, beating off the likes of Dua Lipa, Halsey, Cardi B and Camila Cabello, and Pop Album of the Year for Thank U, Next.

Ariana dropped Thank U, Next in February and went on to break a number of records thanks to fans loving the release.

Not only did she score the Billboard 100 Triple – becoming the first artist to do so since The Beatles – she was even seen knocking herself off the top spot as the tracks from her album soared into the charts.

Just a casual Grande takeover, that’s all.

Other winners at the iHeart Radio Awards on Thursday night included Garth Brooks, Imagine Dragons, Panic! At The Disco, The Chainsmokers and Alicia Keys, who nabbed the iHeart Radio Innovator award.

Alicia hilariously joked that her son Genesis, who had joined her up on stage for her performance, was hoping to ‘take out Taylor Swift’ during her acceptance speech.

She said: ‘My son Genesis is maybe trying to take Taylor out later tonight… he’s working on it, not sure how it’s gonna go, but it looks pretty good right now!’

RuPaul’s Drag Race may be 11 seasons in – but girl, it can still provide gags like no other.

Episode three of season 11 provided not only a jaw-dropping finale – six girls in a lip sync! – but one of the best acting challenges since the glory days of Latrice Royale. (It also featured an ensemble cast so bad that it necessitated a lip sync Battle Royale, but that’s by the by.)

The Diva Worship challenge has separated the weak from the strong, and honestly, I would watch a full series of the It’s Britney Bitch Network – absolute genius.

So, in the wake of a Drag Race for the ages, we’ve compiled a ranking from meh to yaaaaas of all the remaining queens. And for the ones who didn’t impress – you better work, bitch.

13. Ra’Jah O’Hara

I’m not listing Ra’Jah last because of her lacklustre, awkward performance in the Mariah Carey skit. I’m not listing her last because of her bodysuit and flat wig. No, she is in unlucky 13th place because when Mariah Carey’s Emotions was brought up in conversation, she began singing Whitney Houston’s So Emotional.

Unforgivable.

12. Honey Davenport

Oh, Honey. There wasn’t anything wrong with the concept of Honey’s look, which had a meaningful backstory, but the fit just wasn’t on par with everything else walking down the runway. Then came the lip sync.

Top tip – when wearing all black, it’s not advisable to jump off stage and roll around maniacally in front of a black backdrop. Even without blending in to the background, Honey’s performance came off as messy and wild, when pitted against the five other queens battling for their lives. RuPaul’s face said it all.

11. Mercedes Iman Diamond

Mercedes should count her lucky stars she was picked last, therefore ending up on Nina West’s team and on the Britney Spears network. If she’d have ended up on the Mariah side, thus in the bottom, I doubt her fringed bodysuit would have got her through to next week.

At least she sold her neon fringe, and she looked confident on the main stage. But please, PLEASE, wear something that’s not a bodysuit.

10. Scarlet Envy

How the mighty have fallen. Scarlet was amazing in the Good God Girl, Get Out! challenge last week, even gaining a joint win. But it turns out you can’t just reuse the same character and get the same results – who’d have thunk it?

Scarlet’s host’s mannerisms were just bizarre, have you ever seen that woman on the Christian Broadcasting Network? And she really should have fought for Dolly Parton to be the team diva – that could have been genius.

I was very into Scarlet’s runway look though – even if her nails gave me the heebie jeebies.

9. Plastique Tiara

I’ll admit it, I found Plastique’s possessed conversion expert (ARIANA) quite funny. I may have been the only one, but whatever. It obviously took her teammates by surprise, and she really needed to work better in the ensemble. But hey, at least she tried something.

Also, Plastique looked stone cold stunning on the main stage. That fringe! That ponytail! Move over JLo.

8. Shuga Cain

Shuga did the most of anybody on Team Mariah, but her performance still wasn’t all that – surprising, considering how good she was last week in Why It Gotta Be Black, Panther.

However, her runway look was her best yet – referencing her heritage, but still high drag. Hopefully Shuga can get some individual time to shine, because I’m starting to come around to her.

7. A’Keria C Davenport

A’Keria’s runway look alone saved her – that headpiece! Sublime!

But she is moved to the top of the pack of her team thanks to the truly unimpressed expression she was wearing for the entire episode. She knew the concept was bad, she knew the performance was bad, and her face wasn’t going to say otherwise.

6. Brooke Lynn Hytes

Brooke Lynn’s flower power look on the runway was gorge, and I can guarantee Vanessa Hudgens will be wearing it at Coachella.

However, amongst the strong performances in her group, her entirely competent host faded into the background just a bit.

However, I will riot if she is eliminated in the next few weeks, because nobody can tease a workroom romance and then steal it away from me again. Vanjie and Brooke Lynn? Yep, into it.

5. Silky Nutmeg Ganache

Can we take a moment to appreciate Silky’s runway look? That blue flapper dress was stunning, and she absolutely rocked it. Girl can do glamour!

Her gospel singer was, again, not the strongest of the group, but she still brought it, and Silky is still one to beat.

4. Ariel Versace

Yay Ariel! I felt for her in last week’s challenge, as you could see her genuinely trying. But this week’s role obviously suited her more.

She pips fellow gospel singer Silky in the charts thanks to those Britney vocal riffs – perfect for the part.

Let’s just ignore the fact holographic discs are not fringe. Would still 10/10 wear that runway outfit.

3. Yvie Oddly

Yvie was perfectly good in the acting challenge – RIP her emo wig – but she has hit the top three all because of that runway.

Painting her entire body pink, then covering herself in streamers, and walking down the runway under an umbrella as a JELLYFISH? Ugh, her mind.

Yvie is truly unique, and I find myself looking forward to whatever she’s going to wear each week. And what’s more, she has the acting abilities to back it up.

2. Nina West

I am so! Happy! For Nina! The most experienced queen in the contest was starting to struggle against the twenty-something crew and the social media stars, but this week she proved they’d be stupid to sleep on her.

Nina’s network host was absolutely spot on. She had the character down to a tee (Scarlet, take note) but still managed to pepper through her Britney-isms (‘I know some of you are just home from work, bitch’) to make it relevant for the challenge. This is how it’s done.

1. Vanessa Vanjie Mateo

Vanessa Vanjie Mateo just may be one of the most hysterical queens in Drag Race history. I defy you to watch her flipping around her expertly glued on wig while reeling off Britney song titles without losing the ability to breathe.

Sure, she plays the same character for every role, but do I care? Not one iota. It’s too funny.

Also, her Cher runway? Weeeeeerk.

RuPaul’s Drag Race continues at 9pm ET/PT on Thursdays on VH1, and drops on Netflix the following morning.

BTS fans totally lost their cool on Twitter when it was announced they had won Best Fan Army at this year’s iHeart Radio Music Awards.

Thursday night marked this year’s awards ceremony held in Los Angeles and Twitter pretty much exploded when BTS scooped up the prize for Best Fan Army.

Everyone knew they pretty much had this one in the bag, but that didn’t stops fans sharing their excitement over the win.

One fan commented: ‘the bts fan army really did THAT,’ while another one tweeted: ‘When bts army is involved literally any other fan base has NO CHANCE.’

"Congrats to our entire #BTSARMY" – @bts_bighit #BestFanArmy @tacobell #iHeartAwards2019 pic.twitter.com/aeslObnPJo

Another said: ‘imcrying bts’ army won the award for best fan army, ari won artist of the year, and halsey won the fangirl award. all my favs deserve this so much pls <3 (sic)’

The captains of the US BTS Army were on hand to accept the award from Pretty Little Liars star Shay Mitchell, but where were BTS themselves?

Rumour has it Jimin, Jungkook, Jin, RM, V, Suga, and J-Hope and are actually in Korea right now preparing on their comeback, with their Twitter feeds showing them all in rehearsals together.

Speculation has been rife that the boys will be dropping their album next month and Big Hit finally confirmed the news that BTS’ new album Map Of The Soul: Persona will be released on 12 April.

It comes eight months after BTS’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.

And it’s not just new music fans have to look forward to, as BTS will be making their debut on Saturday Night Live. 

The boys have been booked for SNL and will perform on the show. Acts usually perform two songs in front of the studio audience and it’s been confirmed Emma Stone will be hosting on BTS’ episode.

Turns out Prince Charles isn’t the biggest fan of Jack Whitehall and his stand up.

Comedian Jack revealed that he once put on a private show for Prince Charles’ Christmas party, but it went so badly that he walked off stage without an applause and overheard the Prince making a dig at him to wife Camilla.

Jack, who is set to head on tour later this year, shared the story while appearing on The Jonathan Ross Show and confessed he ‘absolutely died’ – we’re guessing with embarrassment, but it makes for a pretty funny tale.

He said: ‘It was an honour to be asked to do the Christmas party of Prince Charles. He throws [his staff] a Christmas party each year and I was the entertainment that year.

‘It’s the weirdest gig ever. I walk out… first thing that’s weird is that they’re sat in the front row, Charles and Camilla, in thrones.

‘Don’t sit in the front row because that’s your get-out-of-jail-free card as a comic, you ask them what they do for a living… I can’t ask Prince Charles what he does for a living!

‘[It was a] small room, maybe forty people, all of my material was terrible… I absolutely died. And the worst bit was, when I was walking off because nobody was applauding, it was the worst review I’ve ever got,

‘I heard Charles turn to Camilla as I was leaving the stage and he went “I think next year we’ll try a magician.”‘

Ouch.

‘There goes the knighthood,’ Jack joked.

Jack’s appearance on Jonathan Ross comes after he was seen hosting this year’s Brit Awards.

He kicked things off by hilariously mocking the epic fail that was Fyre Festival (and we loved him for it) and didn’t hold back when it came to making jokes about the star studded crowd.

So much so, that a raunchy joke he made about Little Mix’s performance on the night has landed him in hot water, as fans of the girlband actually complained to Ofcom.

Little Mix had put on a saucy performance of their hit Woman Like Me while decked out in pink PVC outfits, so naturally finding any opportunity for a dad joke, Jack jested afterwards: ‘Dads up and down the country awkwardly fumbling for a scatter cushion right now.’

Too far?

The Jonathan Ross Show airs Saturday 16 March at 9.30pm on ITV.

The OA returns with bold ambitions in season two, expanding its mysteries with surprising and mildly distracting results.

After the first season released back in December 2016, The OA, created by Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, has taken longer to return than the average Netflix series. Marling explained the lengthy production cycle last year, stating The OA is different to the ‘pattern narrative’ of other shows. ‘As a result,’ she wrote. ‘At every step along the way nothing can be imitated, it has to be invented.’

It’s understandable when you consider the first season’s juggling act. As Prairie returns home after being missing for seven years, a flashback story unfolds of kidnap victims at the mercy of scientific research. Dr Hunter Aloysius ‘Hap’ Percy (Jason Isaacs) repeatedly kills his captives to test their ability to defy death, all while romances, spirituality, and questions of whether Prairie is making this story up, dance in the background.

There’s no doubt it’s an ambitious show, but it’s often one which believes it’s more important than it actually is. The second season continues to blur genres, jump into surprise directions, and thrill in its visual palette, but an air of pretension, and the occasional baffling moment, holds the show back from entirely resonating on an emotional level.

To explain too much of the plot would ruin the surprises, but as shown by the trailers, Prairie is transported to a new dimension in 2016 San Francisco. While it initially feels familiar, the differences trickle out in increasingly bizarre ways; kicking off with the removal of Barack Obama’s entire existence. As Prairie adjusts to the wealthy lifestyle she’s inhabited as Nina, past faces begin to emerge in unexpected circumstances.

Between this arc is the investigations of private detective Karim Washington (Kingsley Ben-Adir), a new character hired to track down a missing girl who was worryingly addicted to a mobile game. We’re also pinged back to the dimension from the first season, as French, Steve, Buck, Jesse and co. all grapple with the fallout of the school shooting, Prairie’s disappearance, and whether they should have faith in her story. 

It’s a credit to the writing and structure that these multiple arcs, even with dimensional travel, never feel overwhelming. Episodes are mostly split between these separate narratives to give them room to breathe, and everything feels methodically and thoughtfully placed to trigger the kind of speculation these shows thrive upon. 

The problem with these multiple narratives is one is far more interesting than the rest. Kingsley Ben-Adir is a welcome sharp, grounded presence in a show which threatens to float off into the ether, but as his story intertwines with Prairie’s, the psychedelic weirdness ratchets up. It sounds more appealing than it actually is, and it’s these moments when you yearn for The OA to cough up something more emotionally substantial. 

Thankfully, the arc in the season one dimension is where the heart of the show shines. Prairie might think she’s an all-powerful angel, but her impact on other people is more interesting than the character herself. French (Brandon Perea) and Betty (Phyllis Smith) provide this season’s standout moments, with their wrestle with internal demons and belief in The OA playing out more effortlessly than the sci-fi mysteries.

Even when the weaknesses show, however, it’s hard not to admire The OA for everything it’s stirring into the pot. The attempts to explore new territory might leave you wishing for a stronger human connection, but there’s a fearless, captivating thrust pushing this series into a realm of its own.

The OA season two releases on Netflix 22 March.

Taylor Swift has told fans that despite the many, many theories, she is not planning to release new music any time soon.

Referencing the fan theories that were flying around the internet and suggesting she was leaving hints in her Instagram posts, Tay joked that she loved ‘your attention to detail’ but a seventh album is not coming yet.

‘I love your passion, I love your attention to detail, I love how much you care. I love seeing all the things you’re posting online. I just wanted to let you know that when there is new music, you will be the first to know,’ the pop star said on Thursday night at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

She also thanked fans for her success: ‘One of the most wonderful things about the way that this whole tour turned out is that for like, the entire six months leading up to the first show of this tour, every headline that I read was — “This is going to be a massive failure” [or] “This is going to be a flop tour”.’

But she then joked: ‘And it really did wonders for my self-esteem. It was really great to hear people saying that I was going to be playing to nearly empty stadiums.’

The 29-year-old was accepting the iHeartRadio award for tour of the year for her smash Reputation stadium tour, and she added: ‘I honestly owe everything, everything in my life to you.’

‘I want to thank you if you came out and saw the show in perfect weather, or if you came to one of our many rain shows that we had,’ she said.

‘And also if you just watched the show on Netflix on your couch with your dog!

‘You guys were the reason why this tour — you’re the only reason why this tour — wasn’t a massive failure and why it ended up being the highest-selling tour in U.S. history — that’s you.’

Taylor also won best music video for Delicate.

Netflix bosses have agreed to remove footage used in movie Bird Box of a real-life train disaster that occurred in Quebec, Canada.

The footage in question is from 2013 when an unattended freight train carrying crude oil derailed and caused an explosion in the town of Lac-Mégantic. Over 30 buildings in the town were destroyed and 47 people died as a result.

It appears in Bird Box early on in the movie when Sandra Bullock’s character Malorie is flicking through news channels airing reports of ‘unexplained mass suicides’ and only features for a matter of seconds.

It was confirmed in January that the footage was of the real-life train disaster and the mayor of Lac-Mégantic had requested its removal.

Netflix bosses initially refused to take it out of the movie, but a spokesperson has now confirmed to BBC that the footage will be removed, according to Film News.

Netflix released a statement that read: ‘We’re sorry for any pain caused to the Lac-Megantic community.’

Post-apocalyptic thriller Bird Box started streaming on Netflix on 21 December and went onto break records, thanks to memes of the film doing the rounds online and generating interest in the movie.

Within a week Netflix announced that the movie had smashed records, tweeting: ‘Took off my blindfold this morning to discover that 45,037,125 Netflix accounts have already watched Bird Box — best first 7 days ever for a Netflix film.’

Such figures means it has beaten the likes of other Netflix original movies including To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, Annihilation (starring Natalie Portman), Mudbound and Sierra Burgess Is A Loser.

Bird Box focuses on the story of a woman named Malorie (played by Bullock) and her attempt to survive alongside two unnamed children as supernatural entities threaten their lives.

Bullock stars alongside Sarah Paulson, Trevante Rhodes, John Malkovich and Danielle Macdonald in the film.

Paris Jackson has said it ‘isn’t her role’ to defend her father Michael Jackson against the backlash he has been subjected to since Leaving Neverland aired in the UK and the US.

The documentary – broadcast on HBO and Channel 4 – explores claims made against Michael by Wade Robson and James Safechuck accusing him of sexually abusing them when they were children.

Some viewers were left ‘disturbed’ by the graphic detail included in the divisive documentary and turned against Michael after it aired.

The Michael Jackson estate and his family have strongly denied the claims made in the documentary and Paris has praised Michael’s nephew Taj Jackson for speaking so openly of his support for the late star, while claiming it isn’t down to her to defend her dad.

Paris was seen venting on Twitter after pictures circulated in the press of her out with her boyfriend in New Orleans.

When one fan suggested the interest in her has been raised because she hasn’t yet publicly responded to the documentary, Paris tweeted in response: ‘There’s nothing i can say that hasn’t already been said in regards to defense. taj is doing a perfect job on his own.

‘i support him. but that’s not my role. i’m just tryna get everyone to chill out and go with the flow, be mellow and think about the bigger picture. that’s me. (sic)’

While Paris hasn’t commented on Leaving Neverland, she has hit back at claims she was worried about the documentary ‘ruining her acting career’ and defended her dad’s ‘good heart’.

One user tweeted Paris telling her that her father’s ‘legacy’ has now been ‘ruined and his name smeared forever’ because of Leaving Neverland.

She replied: ‘Yeah they do that to everyone with a good heart and tries to make a difference, but do you really think that it’s possible to tear his name down?

‘Like do you truly believe they stand a chance? Relax and have peace.’

Taj, meanwhile, has been protesting that Michael – who died in 2009 – is innocent. He has claimed Robson is ‘100%’ lying about his allegations and accused Robson of ‘trying to make money’ from Jackson.

Taj said on the Victoria Derbyshire Show: ‘If you look at the timeline, which is what we’ve been trying to say to people, Wade was doing tribute shows after tribute shows, he even begged for the Cirque Du Soleil choreography job.

‘Once the estate said no on that, he started secretly writing a book about his abuse and he shopped it around and nobody picked it up. A year later he comes out publicly with it. That’s in the deposition, that’s not just me saying it.

‘I know Wade, and it bothered me a lot. I feel betrayed. I was the one who got Wade into my uncle’s memorial, I thanked Wade when he testified. I wish I could take all that back.’

Wade said he ‘doesn’t know’ so Safechuck so couldn’t comment on his involvement in the documentary.

Leaving Neverland’s director Dan Reed has show his support for Robson and Safechuck and debunked suggestions they are lying. He also revealed the two men were never paid for their involvement and had no ‘financial interest’ in the documentary.

Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia has claimed her father ‘faked’ his way through college and that her parents pushed her into attending University of Southern California.

‘He didn’t come from a lot so its cool to see that he built it all himself,’ the 19-year-old said on a podcast just days before the FBI arrested Lori and her husband fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli for allegedly participating in a college admissions cheating scam.

She said. ‘He, like, built his whole entire brand and he wasn’t actually, like, I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this, ever enrolled in college.’

‘But he, like, faked his way through it and then he started his whole business with tuition money that his parents thought was going to college,’ she laughed.

‘That’s, like, such a different time.

‘I don’t know if I was supposed to say that, but it’s okay.’

During an interview with the Zach Sang Show, she also revealed that her parents had pushed her into attending USC because neither of them had attended higher education.

‘Mostly my parents wanted me to go because both of them didn’t go to college. I’m so happy they made me go,’ she said.

‘That sounds so terrible, they didn’t make me. My sister [Isabella Rose] goes to the same school and we are pretty much inseparable, so it was nice following in her footsteps in a little bit. I do like it,’ she added.

The interview went live on 8 March, and Olivia – a social media influencer – also claimed that she has helped other young girls with advice for their own college applications.

‘It’s the coolest thing getting DMs from girls being like “I’m applying to college right now, what did you do?” It’s fun!’ she said.

Lori and her husband are expected in court later this month, after being named as two of the individuals who have been charged in connection with alleged payments of up to $6 million used to get children into schools including Yale, Stanford, Georgetown and USC.

Olivia and Isabella, 20, have reportedly both decided to leave USC with sources alleging to TMZ that the pair have the ‘full support of their parents’ and the family are concerned if the girls were to stay at the college they would be subjected to ‘bullying’.

Fuller House star Lori handed herself into authorities on Wednesday, following her return to Los Angeles from Vancouver.

She was set a $1million release bond and reports suggest the actress ‘put her house up as collateral’ to secure the bond.

Giannulli was arrested at their home on Tuesday. He was set the same bond and required to surrender his passport.

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman has also been named in the investigation.

YouTube star Lilly Singh is set to take over NBC’s late night spot after Carson Daly stepped down.

She’s definitely living up to her ‘Superwoman’ nickname.

The 30-year-old, who boasts a following of more than 14 million, will take over the 1:35am talk show spot with her show A Little Late With Lilly Singh, with the signing making her the first woman to host a late-night talk show on a ‘Big 4’ network.

Lilly said in a statement: ‘An Indian-Canadian woman with her own late night show? Now that is a dream come true.’

She quipped: ‘I’m thrilled to bring it to life on NBC, and I hope my parents consider this to be as exciting as a grandchild.’

NBC late night executive VP Doug Vaughan added: ‘Lilly is truly a star and we’re thrilled to welcome her to our NBC family. She is a multi-talented performer who will surely have a great rapport with not only all her guests but also with our devoted late-night audience. We can’t wait to get started.’

The half-hour show will see the Canadian star interviewing famous faces, and doing what she does best – creating and starring in comedy sketches.

Lilly excitedly announced the news during her interview on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, clarifying: ‘It’s not Jimmy’s spot.’

That could have got awkward.

She added that the show will premiere: ‘Fallish, probably September,’ and she plans to ‘make it inclusive, add comedy segements, interview people, and really create something that I believe in.’

‘Now I have more than three staff members!’ she marvelled.

The announcement comes after Lilly melted fans’ hearts with her powerful coming out message.

Revealing that she’s bisexual, she told her viewers: ‘Female, Coloured, Bisexual. Throughout my life these have proven to be obstacles from time to time. But now I’m fully embracing them as my superpowers.

‘No matter how many “boxes” you check, I encourage you to do the same x.’

A post shared by Emily Ratajkowski (@emrata) on Mar 11, 2019 at 11:44am PDT

Emily Ratajkowski has slammed haters for suggesting she posted a side by side comparison of her body with that of a friend.

‘I love my girl’s body and her and I both think she looks great here and that this is a very cute pic of us getting severe sunburns,’ she shared on Instagram stories after followers claimed she was subjecting her friend to humiliation.

‘I’m proud she wears my suits,’ she continued.

‘Different bodies are beautiful and I hope y’all learn that soon.’

The 27-year-old model was attacked online by followers who suggested she had ‘specifically posted a photo so that it was clear your body is better than the body of your friend’.

‘Why would she subject her friend to this humiliation and online bullying by posting this?’ another Instagram user asked.

But Emily wasn’t having any of it, and in the comments, she also added: ‘All these haters are crazy.

‘Just because you’re used to seeing one body type on the internet doesn’t mean that that’s the only kind that should be considered “beautiful”.’

Em is an outspoken feminist and is constantly forced to explain how she can be a sexual being and a feminist at the same time.

In December, she responded to criticism that suggested she wasn’t allowed to reclaim things seen to be tools of the patriarchy to make herself feel good.

She defended her image in an interview with Vogue Australia, addressing the argument that her overt sexiness is somehow pandering to patriarchal ideals.

Emily said: ‘The only argument that I think is sort of interesting is the conversation that somehow I’m playing into a patriarchal society by looking the way I look and capitalising on my sexiness.

‘But I don’t really care if me wearing a crop top is somehow playing into some patriarchy, because it makes me feel good about myself, and I shouldn’t be limited on that.’

She added: ‘Making rules as to what a feminist should look like or wear is insane to me.’

Lee Jong-hyun has admitted to watching footage of women who were filmed without their consent – but has claimed he wouldn’t have done so if he had ‘sexual understanding’.

The CNBLUE star previously said, through his agency, that he was not connected to the alleged conversations that occurred in a KakaoTalk chatroom with stars including Jung Joon Young.

However, FNC Entertainment have now said that Jonghyun has admitted to watching the footage shared, having ‘inappropriate sexual conversations, and inappropriate conversations degrading women’.

An official statement read: ‘On [March] 12, we released an official statement regarding our agency celebrity Lee Jong Hyun saying, “His relationship with the controversial celebrities is only as an acquaintance who was in contact with them, and he has no relation to this incident.”

‘Before releasing this statement, Lee Jong Hyun, who is currently serving in the military, cooperated with the request for questioning by the police who visited his unit on the afternoon of [March] 12. Of the approximately 20 one-on-one conversations presented by the police at the time, there were no illegal videos that he circulated, inappropriate videos that he received, or problematic conversations, so he relayed his statement [as such].

‘Lee Jong Hyun left the chatroom himself a long time ago, and it was difficult to confirm the exact facts regarding KakaoTalk conversations from four to five years ago, so the agency was only able to release a statement based on his claims relying on his memory of the past. We had no intentions of hiding the truth or covering up wrongdoings.’

It continued: ‘After the report by SBS on [March] 14, we got in contact with Lee Jong Hyun and confirmed the truth. He is reflecting and is [aware that] he deserves criticism as he watched the videos via KakaoTalk, had inappropriate sexual conversations, and inappropriate conversations degrading women as reported. He would not have been an idle bystander if he had proper sexual understanding, and he is regretful about this. He expresses his deep apologies to those who received pain due to the immoral and inappropriate conversations he had without a sense of guilt and also to everyone who has been disappointed.

‘Feeling embarrassed and horrible, Lee Jong Hyun accepts the criticism of the public regarding his wrong sexual morality and values and is deeply regretful and criticizing himself. He will be careful about all of his words and actions as a public figure, and he will reflect and accept the consequences of his wrongdoings.’

Jonghyun enlisted in the military last August. It is unclear whether he will remain as part of CNBLUE.

The rock star is the latest Korean celebrity to be caught up in the widening chatroom scandal, which began with an investigation into allegations that Big Bang star Seungri had provided escorts to foreign investors in return for favours.

Seungri has retired from entertainment in the wake of the allegations, and was yesterday questioned by police.

Jung Joon Young has also retired from the industry after admitting to filming women in sexual acts without their consent.

The Killers, The Cure and Stormzy have been confirmed as headliners for Glastonbury Festival.

The full line-up for the Worthy Farm fest, taking place from 26 to 30 of June, has been unveiled, and it’s typically fabulous.

Joining the previously announced Stormzy, who will headline on Friday, as top dogs are The Cure and The Killers.

The Killers will bring songs including Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me and Human to the Pyramid Stage for an epic singalong on the Saturday night, while Robert Smith and co will bring their legendary brand of 80s sadness to the event to close out the festival on Sunday.

But we’re most excited about the addition of Ms Janet Jackson, who has received high billing – as she should.

It was previously rumoured that Janet (Ms Jackson if you’re nasty) would be performing on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday, marking her first appearance at the festival.

Her booking is the biggest coup of the 2019 festival, with the legendary songstress able to put on a show like no other.

Speaking of legendary songstresses, Kylie Minogue will be taking the official legends spot, as previously confirmed.

New additions to the line-up include George Ezra, Miley Cyrus, Tame Impala, Liam Gallagher, Janelle Monae, Lauryn Hill, Christine and The Queens, The Chemical Brothers, Vampire Weekend, Hozier and Billie Eilish.

Elsewhere, Years & Years, Lizzo, Anne-Marie, Wu Tang Clan, Jorja Smith, Bastille, Sheryl Crow, Stefflon Don, Santigold, The Streets, IDLES and Kamasi Washington will be entertaining the masses.

Tickets are of course already sold out – so you may just have to tune into the BBC coverage.

Luke Perry’s ashes are thought to have been scattered on his Tennessee farm, over a week after he sadly passed away.

Luke purchased 380 acres of land in the southern state in the mid-1990s and lived there on and off over the next two decades as well as in Los Angeles.

TMZ alleges that family sources have claimed that Luke’s body was cremated and his family scattered the ashes on the land in the town of Vanleer.

Luke passed away on 4 March, surrounded by his family in hospital, a week after suffering a ‘massive stroke’.

The Riverdale star’s death certificate stated he was laid to rest in Tennessee – at the Taylor Funeral Home – but Don Carter, who owns the funeral home, told The Blast the actor was not buried there, and has ‘no idea’ why his company was listed on the certificate.

The 90210 actor died at St Joseph’s Hospital in Burbank with a statement confirming he passed away.

‘Actor Luke Perry, 52, passed away today after suffering a massive stroke,’ the statement read.

‘He was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Rachel ‘Minnie’ Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends.

‘The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning.

‘No further details will be released at this time.’

Luke is father to two children, 22-year-old Jack, and 18-year-old Sophie, who he shares with his ex-wife Rachel.

The actor was rushed to the hospital last Wednesday morning after suffering the stroke while at his Sherman Oaks, California, home after a call came into the fire department around 9.40am local time.

YouTuber PewDiePie has addressed the claims that a suspected Christchurch gunman said his name shortly before an attack which left ‘many dead’.

The Swedish gamer – real name Felix Kjellberg – tweeted: ‘Just heard news of the devastating reports from New Zealand Christchurch.

‘I feel absolutely sickened having my name uttered by this person. My heart and thoughts go out to the victims, families and everyone affected by this tragedy.’

The 29-year-old’s comments come after a live stream of the alleged gunman was posted online.

He can be heard saying: ‘Let’s get this party started,’ as he drives up, before adding: ‘Remember lads, subscribe to PewDiePie.’

There have been 49 fatalities in the wake of the shooting, with another 20 people injured. Mosques in Deans Avenue and Linwood Avenue were targeted in the attack, but police urged all mosques across New Zealand to shut their doors in the wake of the incident.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the attack was ‘well planned’ as she confirmed the death toll, adding to her early comments that the events in the city of Christchurch represented ‘an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence’.

The phrase used by the suspected shooter became a common saying among Felix’s fans after he came close to losing his spot as YouTube’s most subscribed channel to Indian music label T-Series.

He recently branded a fan’s graffiti on a New York World War II memorial ‘disgusting’ after it was brought to his attention that the phrase ‘Sub to PewDiePie’ had been etched into the side.

Felix currently has a following of more than 89 million, and is most well known for his ‘let’s play’ style gaming videos.

The fevered interest in Cheat across four nights on ITV hasn’t been enough to convince ITV bosses that series 2 is a good idea.

It was confirmed on Thursday evening, just ahead of the gripping conclusion, that there would not be a return for the thriller – and it was never even discussed.

Even lead actress Katherine Kelly hinted that she had nothing left to give after characters Rose and Leah faced police questionning over the death of adulterer Adam in the final episode.

An ITV spokesperson told The Sun: ‘Cheat was conceived as a self-contained four-part drama. There’s been no talk of another season as it was only ever planned as a standalone series.’

Katherine told the newspaper: ‘It’s never even been mentioned. As you’ll see on Thursday night, we don’t hold anything back. So it would be the first I’ve ever heard of it.’

Former soap star Katherine played university professor Leah who was tormented by her student Rose, played by Three Girls actress Molly Windsor.

First, Rose cheats on her dissertation essay and ultimately, she convinces Adam to cheat on Leah.

When Adam is found dead in the final part and a dark secret is revealed about the two women, it leads to suspicion over just how Adam died.

The decision to show the drama across one week this week was made to give the show ‘momentum’.

Katherine previously said that showing the drama over four weeks would ruin the pace of the production.

‘There are too many twists and turns to sustain a week away from it,’ she said. ‘It’s so quick and the stakes ramp up so quickly, so it needs to be consecutive nights.’

The Voice is shaking things up as we get into the knockout this weekend as suddenly viewers will be taking even more power away from judges Olly Murs, Jennifer Hudson, will.i.am and Sir Tom Jones.

Tomorrow night, a colossal 16 acts will lose their place in the competition as the coaches handpick their final two hopefuls to go through to the live semi-finals.

Basically, it’s a musical bloodbath on The Voice stage this weekend, but you will be able to select which acts you want to see sing live in front of millions.

For the first time one of the 16 eliminated contestants will be saved by the public in a Lifeline vote when fans log in to the official The Voice app.

Emma Willis will open the vote just before the end of the show, leaving audience members just a few hours before 11.30pm to pick their favourite.

Voting is free – amen – and the winning act will be unveiled live before your eyes in next Saturday’s semi-final.

‘I’m happy about the addition of the Lifeline. I feel like it gives the contestants even more hope. It allows for a second chance,’ enthused powerhouse J Hud.

Olly – who announced his first major acting role this week – chipped in: ‘I think it’s great, it’s another glimmer of hope and I think it makes the contestants work that little bit harder to show the people at home watching the show – look, this is what I can do.

‘”Olly didn’t pick me but give me a chance!” Of course, I hope I’ll have three in the final! It’s a great change this year.’

Will.i.am agreed: ‘The Lifeline is good. I’ve felt the benefit of it before because we had it in Australia and then I had more people on my team go through to the final.’

‘The Lifeline is an exciting new addition this year,’ insisted Tom. ‘Saying goodbye to people at The Knockouts can be tough, it’s the biggest cut we see in the competition and giving the singers a second shot, from a public vote, means there’s a great opportunity up for grabs.’

The Voice continues tomorrow night at 7.30pm on ITV.

George Clooney has joked that the Americans are invading Buckingham Palace.

The actor and his wife Amal Clooney were among celebrity guests of honour at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, where they attended a dinner hosted by Prince Charles for the Prince’s Trust International.

But speaking on Friday, George spoke of his friendship with American actress and wife of Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and laughed: ‘We’re invading Buckingham Palace.’

He then added: ‘Charles got crazy and started dancing on the tables, we were surprised to see that.

‘He has such good dance moves.’

Now that’s something we really need to see.

Speaking on the criticism Meghan has faced from the British press, George also suggested it has been ‘unfair’ as she has done nothing wrong.

‘I think it’s a little unfair at times. I’ve seen it when the press can turn on you for ridiculous reasons and almost nothing, and it seemed to be a little unjust since she hasn’t done anything,’ he said on Good Morning Britain.

‘[She’s] just living her life, she’s a really kind and smart, intelligent young women and they’re a wonderful, loving couple.’

George and Amal were in the UK to collect a special award for the Clooney Foundation which help fight for justice & the human rights of vulnerable people.

They are currently working to raise money to finance monitors to go into the government trials and create a ‘justice index of countries handling their court cases in the most fair way’.

George Clooney has ruled himself out of ever playing James Bond claiming he looks more like the spy’s grandfather these days.

‘I look like James Bond’s grandfather,’ he joked on Good Morning Britain on Friday before once again demanding that Bond bosses hire Idris Elba for the role of 007.

‘I will tell you this though, I have said it before and I’ll say it again – Idris Elba should be Bond,’ he said.

‘He’s elegant and handsome, he should be Bond, I am shocked they haven’t just offered it to him, he’s the guy to do it.

Hear, hear.

Unfortunately though, Idris has shattered hopes that he’ll become the next Bond, suggesting that he’s not interested in the iconic role as he no longer wants to play characters that ‘define’ him.

The Luther actor has been connected to the role for the best part of around five years but Idris is yet to sign on that dotted line and it seems more unlikely than ever that Idris, 43, will become Bond as he’s dropped a major hint about why he’s hesitant to play the screen legend.

Speaking to Event magazine, the British actor said: ‘Bond is one of the biggest franchises in the world, and for that reason, whoever ends up playing it, lives it.

‘You’re that character, and known as that character for many, many years. I’m creating characters now that can still live alongside Idris. Not ones that take over me and solely define me.’

Rami Malek, who just won the best actor Oscar, is reported to be close to signing a deal to play a villain in the next installment, Bond 25, which will star Craig as the spy for the final time.

Bond 25 is expected to arrive in cinemas on 8 April 2020.
