Saved By The Bell’s reboot is officially under way but there’s someone missing – and Dustin Diamond is demanding his character Screech get added into the returning squad.

The former star of the 90s favourite has been hit with a number of controversies over the past few years – including disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon, and a sex tape released in 2006.

But he has now called upon his former cast members to reinstate him within the group as the lovable Screech in a bid to return to his heyday.

Speaking to TMZ, he said that as one of the most defining stars of the show, he deserves a spot, and told them: ‘I was in literally every episode out of all the cast members, I was in the majority, the most.’

‘If I’m not in the new one… how can you have Saved By The Bell without Screech? Right?,’ he added. ‘I mean, it seems like there’s a missed opportunity there.’

He then added that those who are returning – including Mario Lopez and Elizabeth Berkley – should help him return to Bayside once more.

‘I think that everyone should probably be thinking the same thing, as far as I’m concerned,’ he said.

‘If it’s a reboot of the entire series, bring back all the staples.’

Dustin reckons that these days, Screech will be a dad himself, and getting a bit of a wake-up call as his kids grow to be exactly like he was back then.

The actor shot to fame as Screech in the 90s high school series, a fan favourite as the eternally loving but super annoying, and super screechy, nerd of the high school gang.

But in most recent years has hit headlines for scandals including numerous arrests.

In 2009 shocked with a release of a book named Behind The Bell, which detailed sex and drugs backstage of the series.

In 2013, he recanted the statements in the book, saying they were exaggerated from answers given to a ghost writer, who actually penned the ‘autobiography’ – but by that point, numerous co-stars had spoken out to slam what he’d written about them as false.

He also claimed in the same interview with the Oprah Winfrey Network that the sex tape featured a ‘stunt double’ and wasn’t him, and he’d directed the film instead.

BTS’s music show performances in support of their new album will be filmed without an audience over coronavirus fears.

The Korean Music Awards have also been cancelled, after the deaths of six people and COVID-19 diagnoses of over 700 people in South Korea.

Subscribers to the official BTS fan club were informed via email that the band’s music show performances will go ahead, but without audiences.

A notice read: ‘We would like to inform you about the music show attendance during BTS;s Map Of The Soul: 7 promotion.

‘Recently, the broadcasting stations have decided to record the music shows without any audience to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

‘BTS performances will also be recorded without audience to follow the decisions of the broadcasting stations.

‘We apologise to ARMY that have been looking forward to attending the music shows. Thank you for understanding.’

BTS’s performances will be broadcast as normal.

This comes as the Korean Music Awards were also cancelled to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

BTS are nominated for song of the year and best pop song for Boy With Luv, as well as the coveted artist of the year award.

But the ceremony set to take place on 27 February at the Guro Arts Valley Theater has been cancelled, with the winners now being announced on the awards website on the same day.

Coronavirus is having a big effect on the entertainment industry in Korea, with multiple acts cancelling their tours.

SEVENTEEN cancelled their world tour due to the virus, including a date in London.

And BTS’s press conference for their new album was changed to a streaming only via YouTube interview, with press and fans banned from the hall.

South Korean president Moon Jae-in raised the country’s infectious disease alert level to red, the highest possible, following 763 confirmed infections.

Most of South Korea’s coronavirus cases are situated in the southeastern city of Daegu, with over half of the cases linked to the Shincheonji Church of Jesus – an extremely secretive religious group.

Jodie Marsh came under fire last year after having a questionable tattoo of Freddie Mercury tattooed onto her calf, but fear not people, as she’s finally decided to have it covered up.

A huge fan of the Queen legend, Jodie had her tattoo artist pal ink a huge tribute to icon Freddie on her calf in August last year.

She was thrilled to have a picture she loved of Freddie playing at Live Aid in 1985 added to her impressive collection of body ink, but after inspecting her leg a little later on, Jodie realised it proabbly ‘wasn’t the best’ portrayal.

So, deciding to wave goodbye to Freddie, Jodie sought out inspiration for a new tat and it seems she’s settled on her dog Rosie.

The 41-year-old revealed on Instagram that she’s had a huge portrait of her beloved rottweiler tattooed over her Freddie inking.

And pretty pleased with the result, Jodie told fans: ‘ Rosie done to cover my Freddie tattoo. By the AMAZING @butlertattoo at @vintageinxtattoo – Sam is incredible. He also did my other Rottweiler Ralph tattoo. I love him.’

Jodie revealed that there is still some work to go on the bottom half of Rosie’s portrait, but already she is ‘so so happy’ with how it looks.

‘I’m so so so happy with it. Anyone who has met Rosie would know this is 100% her and not just any old Rottweiler. Sam is a genius,’ she gushed.

Jodie is known for throwing her support behind her tattoo artist and even after that Freddie fail, she wouldn’t have a bad word said against her friend who had done it for her.

Tattooist Georgia was subjected to plenty of harsh comments from Twitter users over her Freddie inking, with one quipping that they’d ask for their money back.

But insisting that Georgia is a good at what she does and she’d still recommend her to fans, Jodie hit back that she didn’t deserve all the stick she was getting.

‘[Georgia] has since told me she felt very pressured the day she did Freddie… It’s not an excuse to give someone a bad tattoo and then say “I felt pressured” but I do believe hand on heart that Georgia is good at what she does.

‘Whatever went wrong that day means I now have a tattoo that looks bad and that she is getting stick for. It’s my body and I have accepted that I will have to have it covered if it can’t be fixed.’

See, no harm done.

Alessandra Ambrosio was the ultimate Brazilian bombshell as she partied the night away at Carnival in Rio De Janeiro on Sunday.

The model was absolutely loving life as she threw some serious shapes with her pals at the parade at Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí.

The 38-year-old busted some moves, hugged other revellers and filmed the scantily-clad dancers around her with all the pride of a true Brazilian.

Naturally, she was all sorts of fire in a tiny silver fringed dress and towering heels.

Oh, how we wish we had Alessandra’s body.

And her outfit. And her life, come to think of it…

The beauty jetted into Rio on Sunday and marked her return to Brazil with a smouldering bikini snap of her posing against a beachy backdrop.

‘Rio we Gal … 🇧🇷💫🎭‼️ #carnaval2020 #CarnaGal #RioWeGal,’ she captioned the Instagram shot.

The mum-of-two’s been on a serious health kick before hitting Brazil’s most popular festival.

Alessandra, who enjoyed a getaway in South America last month, has been working up a sweat with ‘killer’ cardio workouts and detoxing with smoothies.

‘Trying to be healthy before Carnival,’ she said while sipping a fruit drink in her Instagram Stories last week.

Two million people per day are expected to take to the streets for Carnival, a festival that kicked off in the 1400s.

This year, the celebrations fired up on February 21 and will end on February 26.

PUBG has been steadily losing players due to developer Bluehole focusing on adding content and not fixing the many issues and bugs.

One would think that, with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds receiving a steady stream of content updates, regular players would be thrilled to have a game with such consistent support.

However, players are less than happy. Not with the content, but with how PUBG continues to be riddled with all manner of bugs and issues, and it’s really beginning to affect the game’s performance.

The currently most upvoted comment on the game’s subreddit comes with an image depicting the game’s player stats on Steam. In March 2018, PUBG had an average of near 1.3 million players, but that has now dropped to just over 256,000.

While admittedly still big numbers, it’s substantial enough of a drop to probably cause worry for developer Bluehole.

Another comment highlights precisely what problems players are suffering from, including stuttering, innocent players being banned instead of cheating hackers, the lack of any communication between the developers and players and, ultimately, that new content is being prioritised over actually fixing any of these issues.

One bug that causes weapons to float in the air has apparently been around for two years now and, despite Bluepoint promising audio improvements as part of a 2019 roadmap, players claim that the audio has actually got worse.

It’s become so bad that streamer Chocotaco has announced that they will be taking a break from the game. This is kind of a big deal as Chocotaco is known for being one of the most positive members of the community, so if even they’re tired of all the problems, you know it’s bad.

and ALL OF MY CUSTOM GAME PRESETS DONT WORK. AGAIN. Loads of issues never get addressed. It’s hard to enjoy the game a lot of the time. Whenever this COD BR launches I will be taking a break from PUBG.

— chocoTaco (@chocoTaco) February 22, 2020

With numerous players, a prominent streamer and potentially more ditching PUBG, Bluepoint may be forced to finally address and fix the issues if it doesn’t want its player numbers to drop any lower.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Rachel Riley’s daughter doesn’t really have much of a choice in supporting her mum’s team of Manchester United.

So it’s lucky the jersey suits her.

Rachel and husband Pasha Kovalev took their 10-week-old daughter Maven to watch her beloved Red Devils defeat Watford at Old Trafford, and it was a pretty cute family day out.

Countdown star Rachel shared a picture showing her and Pasha in the stands, with Riley holding her baby daughter.

While Pasha, 40, was dapper in a dark suit and Rachel, 34, wore a floral dress for the occasion, little Maven was the true diehard fan, wearing a red baby gro bearing the Man U crest.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B87NyHOhT8-/

Rachel wrote on Instagram: ‘10 weeks old today and her first trip to the Theatre of Dreams! We got 3 points and Mave got to meet Sir Alex and Sir Bobby – such a lucky baby, best day ever! 🙌❤️⚽️ #manchesterunited #mufc #proudmama.’

Followers were loving the picture, with many remarking that Mave is the spitting image of her father.

Rachel is a huge Man United supporter, and after Maven’s birth in December, she was gifted with tonnes of club merch.

Taking a photo of the newborn lying amongst the pyjamas, teddy bears, bibs and jerseys, the former Strictly Come Dancing star wrote: ‘As a parent it’s important your kids make their own choices in life, no pressure, she can support whichever football team she likes… so long as she picks a red one that plays in Manchester.’

So, no pressure, Mave.

The Kovalev day out is sure to have been a welcome distraction for Pasha, whose former Strictly celeb partner Caroline Flack died by suicide a week ago.

Pasha and Caroline were partnered together on the 2014 series of Strictly, and beat Simon Webbe and Frankie Bridge to be crowned Glitterball champions.

Kovalev has not made any public statement on Caroline’s death; however, Strictly did issue a statement following the sad news.

The show’s official Twitter account read: ‘The entire Strictly Come Dancing family are heartbroken to hear this incredibly sad news.

‘Caroline had an infectious energy and passion for dance, she shone brightly in the Strictly ballroom every week and became an incredible champion.

‘Words cannot express our sadness, she was simply one of a kind. We are sending our love to all her family and friends during this difficult time.’

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were given a bit of a shock on today’s This Morning after accidentally ingesting gone-off coconut.

The pair joined Masterchef host John Torode in the kitchen, where he was making a coconut curry, and was explaining to them how to get water and milk from the coconut, and what the difference was.

While the coconut milk went down a treat with Holly – who started dreaming of pina coladas (and getting caught in the rain??… sorry, had to), the pair didn’t quite have the same reaction to the coconut water.

Holly started complaining that the water actually tasted weird, causing Phillip to admit that he felt that the coconut they were trying had actually gone off.

‘Oh they taste totally different, that’s almost soapy in comparison,’ Holly declared.

Phillip was then forced to admit: ‘Yeah I think the coconut’s off. That’s why it looks like that.’

‘I wasn’t going to say anything,’ he added. ‘But it took me a little by surprise when I tasted it.’

Picking up the coconut water and smelling it himself, John’s face completely said it all as he realised Phillip was right.

Putting it back down, the star tried to push through the segment, brushing off the awkward faux pas with: ‘Maybe… Maybe… To be fair, I didn’t grate that.’

Awkward.

The accident happened as Holly and Phillip returned to the show after a week away on holiday.

They were replaced at the end of last week by This Morning legends Richard and Judy – with fans delighted at their one-off return after having previously left the show in 2001.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.

Love Island winners Paige Turley and Finley Tapp caused a major upset with bookmakers who tipped Siannise Fudge and Luke Trotman to go all the way.

Last night saw Paige and Finn defy the odds and bag the £50,000 prize fund after Luke T and ‘The Fudge’ appeared to have victory in the bag.

Bookies were shipping Luke and Siannise for gold with odds of 1-4 while Paige and Finn trailed behind with odds of 11-4.

And then Finn sobbed as he told Paige he loved her and, let’s face it, we all followed suit and frantically voted for them to win.

‘Punters had been convinced that Luke and Siannise were going to win Sunday’s final and we had them as the overwhelming favourites in our book before the show kicked off,’ revealed Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead.

‘It was a shock to see Finn and Paige win.’

During last night’s finale, which was dedicated to Caroline Flack, Finn accidentally revealed he wanted to marry Paige when Laura Whitmore asked if she needed to buy a hat, nodding along and confirming ‘yes’ before immediately backtracking.

Laura, who received heaps of praise from viewers for being a true star throughout an extremely difficult series of Love Island, later thanked Paige and Finn for helping her ‘more than they’ll ever know’.

The 34-year-old choked up as she paid tribute to Caroline, explaining how ‘difficult’ the past week has been for her and the Love Island team following the death of love Island’s former host.

‘Caroline loved Love Island and that’s why tonight’s final is dedicated to her,’ she said, before introducing a montage of the late presenter’s best bits.

Love Island returns to ITV2 this summer.

Reaching the pinnacle of your career is a pretty amazing achievement and we’d say Justin Bieber beating the legendary Elvis Presley’s US chart record has to be a prime example of this.

At just 25 years old, Biebs has now achieved seven number one albums with his recent release of his album Changes.

He’s the youngest solo artist to ever do this.

Elvis Presley was a year older, at 26, when he celebrated his seventh number one album with Blue Hawaii in 1961.

It contained Elvis’s hits like Can’t Help Falling In Love and Rock-A-Hula Baby.

But 59 years later, Bieber has finally broken this record with new album Changes.

It’s the pop singer’s first album in five years and it ended up selling 231,000 copies just last week, pushing him straight to number one.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B82WltUHk_L/

The album has also soared to number one in the UK.

Including hits like Yummy, Biebs posted the album cover on his Instagram a few days ago with a simple ‘Thank you’ captioning it.

So at 25, the Canadian-born singer is married to the love of his life and has just broken Elvis’s number one album record.

Pretty impressive.

After dating her on and off throughout his teens, Biebs married Hailey Baldwin in 2018.

And this new, record-breaking album is a clear declaration of love for his new wife.

Tracks like All Around Me and Habitual are unmistakably talking about Hailey and their relationship.

What with the album being released on Valentine’s Day, we feel like Hailey is a lucky lady.

It seems as if Justin, like Elvis, loves a good romantic tune.

Better Call Saul fans were dealt a heartbreaking blast from the past as season 5 returned with a guest appearance from the late Robert Forster.

Robert Forster, who played Ed Galbraith in the Albuquerque world that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul exist in, died in October 2019 after a battle with brain cancer aged 79.

The vaccum salesman and professional ‘disappearer’ was last seen in Breaking Bad movie El Camino helping Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) set up a new life for himself away from the New Mexico town that had caused him so much trouble.

But in the opening scenes of Better Call Saul, fans were surprised to see him make another appearance – with Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) calling him for help after his new alias Gene was busted by a cab driver.

The black-and-white scene, which has become a tradition on the spin-off show, ended with ‘Gene’ deciding to fix his problem himself this time, and ultimately not taking Ed up on his offer of heading out somewhere new once again.

It was a secret that the notoriously quiet production team had managed to keep hidden from devoted fans of the series right up until the moment it aired – and it was a blessed moment for those who knew the actor had passed away.

The moment seems to be the last time we’ll see The Disappearer himself on screen, with the episode dedicated to the star’s memory.

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston (who played leading man Walter White in Breaking Bad) led the cast and crew in their condolences after hearing the news of his death last year.

Clearly a much-loved member of the cast, the team paid tribute to his kind nature and love of his job.

‘I had the privilege of knowing this beautiful man and working along side of him. A true gentleman that loved to act. I love you my friend,’ Aaron wrote.

‘Thank you for loving me. You are and always will be a legend.’

Bryan wrote: ‘I’m saddened today by the news that Robert Forster has passed away. ‘A lovely man and a consummate actor.

‘I met him on the movie Alligator 40 years ago, and then again on BB. I never forget how kind and generous he was to a young kid just starting out in Hollywood. RIP Bob.’

Robert leaves behind a film and TV legacy including roles in the much-loved Jackie Brown, Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks.

His final roles are due to air this year – horror movie The Werewolf, which wrapped days before he died, and a spot in TV series Amazing Stories by Steven Speilberg.

Better Call Saul airs new episodes Sunday on AMC in the US and Mondays on Netflix in the UK.

Who will replace Sandi Toksvig on Great British Bake Off? Right now the spot is former winner Candice Brown’s for the taking.

The 35-year-old won GBBO back in 2016 – the final champion for the BBC.

Sandi has since confirmed she is stepping down as presenter of the nation’s favourite cooking contest, which has been a hard pill to swallow for everyone involved but no more so than Noel Fielding.

Channel 4 is lining up auditions for The Mighty Boosh star’s new companion and Candice is in the running.

‘Candice is one of the people we are interested in seeing for a screen test,’ a source told The Sun on Sunday.

‘She was a hit with viewers thanks to her bubbly personality, and she obviously knows what she’s talking about when it comes to baking, too.

‘It is still early days but the bosses are now singling out a number of women and Candice’s name has come up.’

Interesting…

Bake Off judge Prue Leith recently revealed Noel will have the deciding vote.

‘We’ve all promised that Noel has got to OK the right person because if it does not work with Noel, it does not work,’ she stressed last week.

‘Noel is very spiky and funny, Sandi was perfect for him, so it is really hard.’

Other names tipped to fill Sandi’s boots include David McCall, Emma Willis, Sara Pascoe, and Nadiya Hussain. Although they may all have tough competition in Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness, who threw his hat into the ring and, honestly, we’re here for it.

Great British Bake Off returns to Channel 4 later this year.

Reggie Yates has recalled feeling ‘ashamed’ and ‘embarrassed’ about the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire and wishes more focus was given to the victims of the disaster.

A huge blaze erupted inside the Grenfell Tower block in West London in June 2017, claiming the lives of a reported 72 people. 

It devastated the families of those who died and others who lost their homes in the fire, sparking a national outcry. 

The following year, Reggie visited the Grenfell Tower site and spoke to locals and some of those affected by the tragedy in the BBC documentary Searching For Grenfell’s Lost Lives. 

In a new interview for Clara Amfo’s podcast This City, Reggie recalls how he felt disappointed that much of the coverage post-Grenfell focused more on who was to blame rather than the victims. 

‘If we’re gonna talk about being ashamed and being annoyed, I was ashamed at us. And by that, I mean the media. I mean people, programme-makers,’ Reggie explained to Radio 1 host Clara. 

‘It felt as though at the time the focus of most of the content that was being created was about responsibility, which is valid. Don’t get me wrong, who was responsible for what happened? Trying to tell that story is incredibly important. 

‘What was neglected in that? Was who lost their lives and who those people actually were. And that is why we made the film the way that we made it.’ 

He added: ‘The thing that we were desperate to do in the film was to humanise some of those names and some of those photos that we saw. And we would never have been able to tell the story of everyone. But we wanted to tell as realistically as possible the story of the few that we could get to. 

‘And I was just a bit embarrassed that there was so little attention paid to telling human stories when that many humans, human beings lost their lives.’ 

During his time visiting the North Kensington area where Grenfell Tower still stands, although completely destroyed, Reggie spoke to a survivor who had not told his story of what happened to him during the fire until he met the broadcaster. 

Reggie, 36, realised why he was so trusted among locals after more than a decade creating documentaries. 

‘But that level of transparency only exists because of trust. And that trust only exists because of legacy,’ Reggie explained.

He then admitted: ‘And I haven’t made life-changing films depending on who you ask. But a huge chunk of my career has been making bubblegum, if you will, making stuff that you can consume and enjoy and forget about. 

‘But the last decade has been about work that can actually start a healthy conversation, shift the needle, going into difficult spaces and asking tough questions. And as a result of that, that generation that grew up with me, which this guy fit into… There is a trust there.’

While we’re wearing three layers to bed and trying not to catch pneumonia after every shower, Maya Jama is living her absolute best life in the Maldives.

The radio DJ gave us all a serious dose of life envy as she documented her island getaway in ‘paradise’ with one of her pals.

From feeding sharks to going on idyllic boat trips, the 25-year-old made us all a little bit bitter about the state of our existence.

The presenter kicked off her holiday on Sunday, making sure fans got to see her incredible hut on the water before showing her followers the baby sharks milling around next to their restaurant.

As her pal threw food at the swarm of sharks, she shrieked: ‘Oh my days, imagine if they start killing each other because they can’t get the food?

‘Attack!’

The next morning saw Maya greeting followers with a quick, ‘Morning from paradise!’

She drawled, ‘Oh, daaaaaarling’ as she panned over the sun rising over the water.

Next up was a boat trip, before Maya joked that she’d be gatecrashing all the honeymooners at dinner.

‘We’re off to have a snazzy dinner with all the married couples!’ she quipped.

Hey, at least Maya’s got rid of that pesky face bloat, ey?

Swings and roundabouts.

Maya may have had a little dig at all the couples but she seemed to be loving single life after splitting from Stormy following four years of dating.

The Shut Up rapper later insisted he still wants to marry the presenter and said he ‘loves her more than anything’.

Cute.

But not all that cute for Maya, it seems, who left a Brits after-party earlier this month pretty swiftly after her ex turned up.

Charlotte Crosby has unveiled her new tattoo – and it’s no wonder it shocked her mother.

The 29-year-old underwent a seven hour tattoo session to have a winding dragon inked on her side.

And after sharing that her mum said ‘why’ and ‘for f***s sake’ when she first saw the tattoo, Charlotte decided to show the rest of the world the tattoo with a naked selfie.

The former Geordie Shore star posed in the mirror with her bum to the camera to show off the intricate dragon entwined with roses that now plasters her left hand side.

Charlotte posted the pic with the only apt caption: ‘The girl with the dragon tattoo.’

Fans were pretty impressed by the artwork, with Charlotte earlier revealing it was done by Just Tattoo Of Us star Calli Jo at her studio Bondi Ink in Australia.

Explaining it took until 1am to complete, Charlotte told her Instagram followers: ‘The funniest thing is that I actually didn’t tell anyone about this tattoo, apart from like, a couple of people, and I told my mam – I sent my mam a picture of it…’

And her mother Letitia wasn’t best pleased, replying: ‘O think I could cry. I am shocked my Sunday is ruined. It’s so big.’

However, Charlotte doesn’t mind her mum’s reaction, saying: ‘I actually love the tattoo, every one who’s seen it think it’s absolutely beautiful.’

And so hardcore is this Geordie girl that hours after getting the massive inking, she went to have her eyebrows tattooed as well.

Just how high is her pain threshold?

As one of the hosts of MTV’s Just Tattoo Of Us – where guests design tatts for their friends, significant others and relatives without them knowing what they’re getting – it’s no suprse that Charlotte is a big fan of body art.

The reality star has two large roses on her right thigh, a peace sign on her wrist, a heart and two hands on her arm and her ex-boyfriend Joshua Ritchie’s name tattooed on the back of her neck.

She has also had several tatts lasered off after dedicating them to her exes.

Firstly, she had two arrows and an ‘M’ for ex Mitch Jenkins removed from her arm, then, a fish tattoo she got with ex Stephen Bear lasered off her wrist.

And as for the half bear half cheetah Bear designed for Charlotte on Just Tattoo Of Us – as a reminder that she cheated on her ex-boyfriend with him – that’s also been removed from her back.

Let’s hope that dragon lasts longer.

Microsoft has shared a hefty blog post about the Xbox Series X and has confirmed some brand new details for the console.

Whilst the PlayStation 5 continues to be shrouded in secrecy, with mostof the information only from small hints and rumours, Microsoft has shared quite a bit about its next gen console, the Xbox Series X.

Earlier today, Xbox head Phil Spencer himself wrote up a very detailed blog post that explains what we can expect from the upcoming console.

A lot of it is info we already knew, such as how backwards compatibility will work (with games benefitting from steadier frame rates and improved loading times), but there are some interesting new things too.

Firstly, the post boasts how powerful the new console will be, with a 12 teraflops GPU (graphics processing unit). This is twice as much as the Xbox One X and over eight times the original Xbox One.

Spencer writes that the console will deliver ‘a true generational leap in processing and graphics power with cutting edge techniques resulting in higher frame rates, larger, more sophisticated game worlds, and an immersive experience unlike anything seen in console gaming.’

After that, there is a lot of technical jargon regarding things like ray-tracing and 120 frames per second support, but possibly the most exciting detail is the new Smart Delivery service.

‘This technology empowers you to buy a game once and know that – whether you are playing it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X – you are getting the right version of that game on whatever Xbox you’re playing on,’ the post reads.

‘We’re making the commitment to use Smart Delivery on all our exclusive Xbox Game Studios titles, including Halo Infinite, ensuring you only have to purchase a title once in order to play the best available version for whichever Xbox console they choose to play on.’

What this means is that if you buy, say, Halo Infinite for the Xbox Series X, you’ll also get access to the Xbox One version for the game and vice-versa.

This will be perfect for those who may not be able to upgrade to the new console straight away. This means you’ll be able to purchase any first party Xbox Series X games that are also available on the Xbox One and know that you won’t need to buy it again once you are able to move to the Xbox Series X.

The post mentions that this feature will be available for all developers and publishers and, though it is ultimately optional, it is highly recommended that it be used.

Between stuff like this and the promise to include first party titles like Halo Infinite as part of the Game Pass at launch, Microsoft seem to  be doing a good job at advertising the upcoming console. Although, like Sony, it’s unclear when they will reveal more about its games and if there will be a major preview event before E3 in June.

The Xbox Series X is currently scheduled to release before Christmas this year.

Eva Mendes was far from offended when an Instagram troll told her she’s ‘getting old’.

The 46-year-old believes the commenter didn’t mean to be ‘malicious’ and if that doesn’t show you how positive Eva is, nothing will.

Speaking to People at the Create and Cultivate event in Los Angeles on Saturday, The Place Beyond The Pines actress explained: ‘I was excited by the reaction because in no way do I think that person that left that comment about me getting old was being malicious

‘I do not think it was a malicious comment, but I think it’s more dangerous because it wasn’t malicious because it’s just ingrained in society that getting older is something we should either fear or be ashamed of.

‘And I think the whole thing about not asking a woman what her age is archaic.’

She added: ‘It’s like you can ask me my age and I will happily tell you, I’ll be shocked, somewhat shocked. I’m about to turn 46 and that’s somewhat shocking to me. But I’m proud of that.’

The star responded to the initial Instagram comment by thanking the troll for pointing out her age, explaining why she’s grateful for everything.

We must protect Eva at all costs.

She responded to the comment: ‘Yes your [sic] right. Thank God I’m getting old. That means I’m still here. I’m gonna be 46 soon and grateful everyday [sic] that I’m aging. Was your comment suppose to make me feel bad? It didn’t.

‘It makes me feel grateful. So thank you for the reminder that I’m still here.’

Mendes clapped back at trolls before, using positivity when someone said her new dress was ‘ugly’.

Can’t please everyone, right?

Eva wasn’t done thanking the initial commenter for their opinion, adding to People: ‘I wanted to make sure to get back to that person because I had something to say and I felt like, look, you mean this, I don’t think it was malicious but you mean it kind of like an insult.’

‘I want to show you that I take it as a compliment because I’m still here. And I have, you know, instead of saying I am 46, I wish we could change it and I wish I could say, “I have 46 years to me” because in Spanish it’s very beautiful.

‘It says you say, “Tengo cuarenta seis años” I have 46 years and in English I know, it’s a little, you know it’s semantics but it’s important.’

Justin Bieber is finally sharing our BTS love for the whole world to see as he celebrated their success with a Twitter post yesterday.

Coincidentally, both JB and K-Pop band BTS have just released their seventh albums.

And clearly there’s plenty of love going on between them.

Sharing a short post on Twitter, Bieber said: ‘My guys from @BTS_twt out here killing it. Congrats fellas.’

The short tweet was enough to get him over 328,000 likes to date though.

It’s because Bieber is sharing in the whole world’s love for BTS right now.

The K-Pop stars, comprised of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook, released their seventh album Map of the Soul: 7 on 21 February and it’s the bestselling album in the UK so far on both CD and downloads.

Storming way ahead of its competitors from Ozzy Osbourne, Billie Eilish, Stormzy and Lewis Capaldi, their new album looks to follow in the footsteps of their last.

Last year’s Map of the Soul: Persona saw BTS get their first UK number one album.

Meanwhile in the world of Justin Bieber, the 25-year-old has just made actual history by breaking Elvis Presley’s record.

As in the legend Elvis Presley.

Biebs has become the youngest ever person to have seven chart-topping albums.

Elvis of course achieved this accolade too, but he was 26, a year older than Bieber, when he reached the milestone.

Bieber broke the record with his latest album Changes, which was released on Valentines Day.

Released five years after his previous album Purpose, Changes entered the US and UK charts last week going in straight at number one.

Hands up for a Justin Bieber-BTS collab. Pretty please.

Riverdale stars Skeet Ulrich and Marisol Nichols are bidding farewell to the show after season four and we’re heartbroken.

Skeet, who plays Jughead Jones’s (Cole Sprouse) dad FP Jones is making his exit alongside Marisol, who portrays Veronica Lodge’s (Camila Mendes) mum Hermione.

Both actors have been part of the cast since the show’s premiere in 2017.

Why are all the parents leaving?!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.

Skeet, who was originally set to be a recurring character, said it was ‘time for him to move on’ as he announced his departure.

‘I’m incredibly grateful for the friendships I’ve made on Riverdale, and I will miss seeing everyone on a daily basis,’ he told TV Line.

‘But I’ve decided that it’s time for me to move on to explore other creative opportunities.’

What creative opportunities, you may ask?

Well, the 50-year-old will be starring alongside Tom Hanks in the hotly-tipped science-fiction drama Bios, which is set for release in October.

Not too shabby!

Meanwhile, Marisol said she’d had some ‘wonderful times’ with the cast during the ‘highs’ and the ‘lows’.

‘I had an incredible time bringing Hermione Lodge to life and working with my amazing cast, who became family,’ she said in her statement.

‘We had so many wonderful times together during the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. We really do have the best fans ever.

‘I am looking forward to the next chapter and am excited about the future.’

Sob.

The fourth season of Riverdale returned to our screens last month after taking its mid-season break.

Series four kicked off in October and left us with plenty of mysteries – think creepy videotapes turning up on doorsteps and the fate of old Jughead Jones.

When he’s not busy preparing to dominate the soccer world, David Beckham is showing off his fancy footwork on the slopes.

He and his famous family headed off on a ski break together in Whistler, Canada, with David dusting off his snowboard to try his hand at a few new tricks.

First ice driving in Finland and now snowboarding, is there anything Becks can’t do?

The former footballer was seen expertly making his way down the mountain on his board and even had a go at attempting a few jumps en route.

Three times he hurls himself into the air and manages a smooth landing, but ever so modest, Becks wasn’t so impressed with his efforts (even if we are). He said: ‘I honestly thought I went really high.’

High or not, the board still left the ground, so we’ll take it.

Proud dad David was seen showing off his kids’ talents on the slopes, as he was joined by sons Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and daughter Harper, eight.

He posed for a smiley selfie with Harper and told her that he was loving her work on the slopes, before then shouting out to Victoria and telling her she was ‘looking good’ as the former Spice Girl skied behind him.

The latest edition of the Beckhams hit Whistler comes after David has been busy preparing for the launch of his very own football team Inter Miami.

He’s heading up a new team in the MLS league over in Florida and excitedly told fans, earlier this month, that Inter Miami’s stadium is nearly complete.

David reportedly landed a huge sponsorship deal with Qatar last week, that will rake in £180million for his new club.

A source revealed to The Sun: ‘This deal wipes the floor with previous sponsorship deals. Becks and his agent David Gardner have been incredibly hands-on, determined to get the best terms possible.

‘Qatar is keen to drive investments overseas to improve and soften its image. Miami and the Beckham brand fits perfectly with this.’

Inter Miami are set to make their on-pitch debut next month.

Love Island is over but Luke Trotman’s mum Beverley is proving to be a late competitor for most adorable person on the show after ‘adopting’ her son’s girlfriend and new best mate as her own.

Last night saw Luke T and Siannise Fudge come in second place on the reality show, being beaten by Finley Tapp and Paige Turley to the annoyance of bookies everywhere.

But it looks like Beverley has bigger and better things to think about – welcoming her new extended family with open arms now they’re back in the real world.

Posting on Instagram about Luke and his new girlfriend, the proud mum shared a video of their romantic fairytale castle date, and wrote next to it: ‘Awwwh my babies! Now I have three children!’

She then quickly rectified that, and added another video of Luke T and Luke Mabbott, including the bromance in on the family too.

She joked: ‘Actually four children!’

The posts come after Luke T and Luke M’s dads announced they were giving their sons a run for their money for bromance of the year.

Waiting for the guys to return home ahead of the finale, the friends and family of the finalists have been spending time together in South Africa, and it seems they’re getting on like a house on fire.

Beverley was seen cosying up to Luke M’s mum too, before joining all the family that flew over to surprise their kids with an appearance in the villa.

Between her open and loving nature, her banter with her son, and her Siannise impression, Beverley proved a hit with fans herself.

Love Island is available on catch-up now on ITV Player.
