Line Of Duty is back filming in Belfast and it looks as though the gang have a lot to be dealing with during an intense shoot between Adrian Dunbar and Martin Compston.

The pair were seen on the streets of Northern Ireland filming a scene as Ted Hastings and DS Steve Arnott, in which neither can look at the other as they stand outside police headquarters.

In a telling moment, Ted is seen wearing his wedding ring once again, despite his rocky relationship with wide Roisin, who was almost killed during season five.

Has he been able to win his wife back around and moved her back home?

The intensely loved police drama is set for a return later this year as they begin filming the sixth series of the show, following the lives of AC-12 and the loved ones of the team members.

More than anything, fans are getting desperate to know the identity of H, and the gang know this – unable to resist a cheeky jab at fans to keep them hanging.

Most recently, Vicky McClure was seen in a stand-off photo with Martin Compston, guns drawn as they stand over the ‘dead body’ of Adrian.

But then he’s lying there with a massive H… so you’re know they’re just playing with us.

The identity of the criminal mastermind H has been kept hidden from public eye since the beginning of season one, and try as fans might, they’ve never been able to crack the case.

Season five gave us the biggest nudge yet with the reveal that there are multiple criminals who function as H, and as a result fans are now even more stumped.

Also joining the cast of the upcoming series is Detective Chief Inspector Joanne Davidson (Kelly Macdonald).

BBC described Davidson as an ‘enigmatic senior investigating officer on an unsolved murder case’ who will be investigated by AC-12, according to a first look.

What could the newbie be hiding and what are we expecting to see of her?  Is she a crooked cop or is she being set up?

And do we know H, or have they managed to avoid any suspicion for all these years?

So many questions, such little information… Bring it on, season six.

Line Of Duty returns later this year on BBC One, and is available to catch-up on Britbox, BBC iPlayer and Netflix.

Pete Davidson is taking some time out when it comes to dating, after splitting from ex-girlfriend Kaia Gerber.

The Saturday Night Live star, 26, confirmed he and model Kaia have gone their separate ways, after reports surfaced last month that the pair were ‘cooling things off’.

Speaking on Charlamagne Tha God’s YouTube series, Pete said he didn’t think it was fair for Kaia, 18, who he had been dating since October last year, to take on his ‘issues’.

It was claimed he wanted to work on his mental health, and Pete confirmed that the split happened just before he went to rehab.

He said: ‘We were dating for a few months. She’s very young and I’m f**king going through a lot… it was before I went to rehab.

‘It’s just like, she should be having fun. She shouldn’t have to worry about some dude that just has issues and sh*t.

‘She should be enjoying her work… it just wasn’t the right place or the right time at all.’

Pete shouted out Kaia’s famous parents, Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber, and said they were ‘really helpful’ when the pair were dating.

And he also ruled out dating somebody news, with Pete explaining that he thinks he should lay low when it comes to relationships for a little while.

‘I’m not dating for a while… unless I meet the love of my life,’ he joked.

‘I’m pretty done with that, I’m going to try and stay away from that. It’s just a lot.’

Pete has dated some pretty famous stars in the past, including actress Kate Beckinsale and singer Ariana Grande, who he was actually engaged to for a few months, and he says he’s learned a lot from the relationships he’s had over the years.

‘You become a better version of yourself because you learn a little something from everybody,’ he explained.

When it comes to mental health, Pete has openly spoken of his struggles in the past, as well as his recreational drug habits.

Pete also told Marc Maron’s podcast that he struggled with borderline personality disorder and worried fans back in 2018, when he posted about suicidal thoughts.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars Charlie Day and Mary Elizabeth Ellis were loving life as they lead the procession at the Mardi Gras parade of Orpheus.

The couple, who are actually married in real-life, looked like they were having a great time as they lead the 30 floats, 1,200 krewe members and 32 marching bands.

Charlie could be seen enjoying the party with his wife as they threw beads to revellers at the Mardi Gras parade.

The star was also spotted getting drinks thrown up to him by fans as some even took the opportunity to grab a selfie or two.

Both were dressed up for the occasion as they both wore red robes and while Charlie wore an eye mask which he had placed on his head, his wife donned a beautiful bright pink wig.

Saints players Cam Jordan, Thomas Morstead, David Onyemata, and Marcus Davenport also joined the stars as they led the parade.

Legendary signature floats in Orpheus normally include the Trojan Horse, Leviathan, Dolly Trolley and the eight-unit Smokey Mary tandem float, which holds 230 riders.

This year’s most collectible items included glitter face masks and special 2.5-inch doubloons that salute New Orleans musical legend, Art Neville.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an American sitcom that premiered on FX on August 4, 2005, and moved to FXX beginning with the ninth season in 2013.

On April 1, 2016, the series was renewed for a 13th and 14th season, which matched The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet with the most seasons for a live-action sitcom in American television history.

Season 14 premiered on September 25, 2019, although there is no news for season 16.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia is available to stream now on Netflix.

Inside Harvey Weinstein jail Rikers Island where Lil Wayne and Tupac Shakur served time

Harvey Weinstein will be sent to one of the world’s most notoriously violent jails, Rikers Island, after being found guilty on two counts of rape and sexual assault this week.

The disgraced Hollywood producer was convicted on two of the five counts – criminal sexual act in the first degree and rape in the third degree – following incidents involving two women dating back to 2013 and 2006 respectively. 

He now faces up to 29 years in prison at his sentencing at that stint is expected to begin at New York’s infamous Rikers Island. 

Weinstein, 67, spent his first night post-conviction at the Bellevue Hospital Center after suffering chest pains.

But, per the judge’s orders after the verdict, Weinstein is expected to arrive at Rikers to await sentencing on 11 March. 

Situated on a 400-acre island in the East River, Rikers is connected by bridge to the borough of Queens and features a collection of 10 detention centres. 

The New York City Department of Correction has not confirmed whether Weinstein will remain in the jail’s infirmary due to his poor health, or if he’ll be incarcerated at Rikers at all.

His lawyers have requested that their client be sent to the medical facility, which includes bunk rooms that can hold up to 40 patients and private or semi-private medical cells.

The majority of inmates sleep in open rooms consisting of rows of metal beds rather than smaller cells. 

Rikers was opened as a jail in 1935 and inmates housed at the facility are typically awaiting sentencing or serving sentences of no more than a year. 

Some of the most high-profile and dangerous inmates have been incarcerated on the island. 

These include rappers Tupac Shakur and Lil Wayne, Sex Pistols’ Sid Vicious, John Lennon’s assassin Mark David Chapman and serial killer Son of Sam aka David Berkowitz. 

During Tupac’s stint at Rikers, it was widely reported that pop icon Madonna visited him there but she allegedly denied this in a deposition, stating: ‘I’m not answering that question.’ 

Lil Wayne spent eight months at the facility in 2010 for gun charges and later released the book, Gone ‘Til November, about his ordeal.

However, his experience seemed nothing like the grim conditions often reported about Rikers as he recalled days watching The Wendy Williams Show and American Idol. 

He also recalled the party they threw for two inmates who he married off, writing: ‘Gatorade is liquid gold in this b***h . . . Imagine seeing grown-a*s men in jail hanging tissue for wedding decorations. AND one of them is Lil Wayne. Crazy.’ 

But it’s well documented that Rikers Island is one of the most violent jails in the US and beyond.

New York criminal defence lawyer Lisa Pelosi said after Weinstein’s conviction: ‘I would think if you had to be at Rikers Island, you might prefer the infirmary. But it is definitely not a pleasant place.’

In 2019, the Mayor’s Management Report released statistics that showed violence had surged in the facility. 

It recorded an increase to 69.5 violent incidents a month for every 1,000 people that year, from the 55.8 incidents in 2018. 

The violence was highlighted in the Jay Z-produced Netflix documentary about Kalief Browder, the 16-year-old boy who was wrongfully accused of stealing a backpack with little evidence. 

Ironically, the documentary was produced by Weinstein’s production company.

Cameras inside Rikers caught the youngster being beaten by inmates while correctional officers instigated and stood by and watched.

After the charges were dropped, Browder was released from the jail but took his own life soon after, struggling to cope with his ordeal in the detention centre. 

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio vowed to close Rikers due to the high level of violence and it will shut its gates for good in 2026.

Star Wars has new film ‘in the works’ with a 2022 release date, despite saga ending with Rise of Skywalker last year

The Star Wars saga may have come to a close at the end of 2019, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the end for fans of the franchise.

According to reports, Star Wars now has a new film ‘in the works’ and it’s looking at a release date for 2020.

Although it’s not known whether the movie will be released in cinemas or saved for Disney’s new streaming service, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

J.D. Dilliard, who is best known for his work on sci-fi thriller Sleight, and writer Matt Owens, who has worked on Marvel shows Luke Cage and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, are thought to have been brought in for the new film.

Little is known when it comes to details of the movie, along with who will direct or star in the film.

It’s said to be a completely unrelated project to a Star Wars film that was pitched by Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige and Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.

Filmmaker Taika Waititi has also been linked to a new project in the Star Wars universe, but it’s not known whether that too is a standalone movie or one being developed by Feige.

The Star Wars saga wrapped up in December with ninth film Rise of Skywalker, that brought both the new sequel trilogy and the over-arching narrative of all nine films to a close.

Rise of Skywalker starred the likes of Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac and Mark Hamill, as well as Carrie Fisher, thanks to unused footage from The Last Jedi.

Carrie passed away in 2016, after suffering a heart attack, but still appears in Rise of Skywalker, thanks to old footage previously shot that made sure director JJ Abrams could ensure Leia’s story came full circle.

Star Wars has since seen many spin-offs born, including Disney+ series The Mandalorian, which debuted in November last year and has already begun filming for a second season.

Show creater Jon Favreau teased in December that the series – that gave us the gift that is Baby Yoda – will be welcoming a new character into the fold.

Victoria Beckham gave us old school cool as she shared a nostalgic video of her with David Beckham during their earlier days.

Posh Spice threw it back to 1999 with a clip taken from her Victoria’s Secrets documentary of her and David sitting on a couch looking head over heels for each other.

The footballer was in his prime fashion days and sported a questionable red bandana that matched his puffer vest as he talked to a spiky-haired Victoria.

The couple – who started dating in 1997 and married two years later – is seen taking part in a fun Q&A as the Spice Girl asked David, 44, when he first realised he was famous.

‘Straight away,’ he joked.

‘It was when he first started going out with me actually,’ Victoria quips back before laughing and throwing her arms around her beau.

David and Victoria have been married for close to 21 years, and share children Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 17, Cruz, 15, and Harper, seven.

An off-camera interviewer asked David: ‘What made you fall in love with Victoria?

‘I couldn’t put my finger on one thing. It was everything, you know the whole package I just fell in love with it,’ he recalled.

The pair later wrap their arms around each other once again as the fashion designer says to the camera, ‘He’s very sexy isn’t he?’

We’re glad she appreciated his bandanas.

As Victoria shared the home video with her followers, the star wrote: ‘So sweet! I love you, David Beckham.’

David, on the other hand, wasn’t too happy about seeing his old outfit choices.


He commented: ‘I think this might have been my boy band stage why did U let me wear this @victoriabeckham,’ along with a crying with laughter emoji.

Get you a man that smiles at you the way David smiles at Victoria in that wholesome throwback video.

Atypical fans were left gutted when finding out the popular Netflix show was coming to an end after its fourth season.

The series follows the fortunes of Sam, an autistic 18-year-old attempting to navigate his final year of high school and, more importantly to him, find his first girlfriend.

This new-found independence also affects his relationships with his family, who, of course, all have various problems of their own.

And while it has warmed the hearts of viewers for the past three years, the streaming giant has announced the next installment will be its last.

Taking to Twitter, they shared a video confirmed season four, while writing: ‘Join Sam on one last expedition. Atypical will return for a fourth and final season.’

Series creator, Robia Rashid, also addressed the news (via Variety), and said: ‘I’m thrilled we’ll be doing a season four of Atypical.

Atypical
Atypical fans gutted after Netflix confirms fourth and final season (Picture: Netflix)

And while I’m so sad to be nearing the end of this series, I am extremely grateful to have been able to tell this story.’

She added: ‘Our fans have been such beautiful, vibrant supporters of this show. Thank you for being so open to Sam’s voice and stories, and those of the entire Gardner family.

‘It’s my hope that the legacy of Atypical is that more unheard voices continue to be heard and that even after this series ends, we keep telling funny, emotional stories from underrepresented points of view.’

Fans were quick to comment where they revealed just how sad they were to see the story come to an end.

‘WHY A FINAL SEASON??? It deserves more!!!’ one wrote while another added: ‘Oh noooo the final season already?! Why?? One of the best show out there.’

Someone else echoed the same sentiment: ‘Sorry to see Atypical go but so glad there’ll be a concluding season. Not every show gets that courtesy from Netflix.

‘Some get left with nothing but follow up questions.’

Best-known for his roles in multiple personality drama United States Of Tara and indie horror It Follows, Keir Gilchrist takes centre stage as Sam.


Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight, Single White Female) plays his mother Elsa, Michael Rapaport (Friends, Prison Break) his father Doug, with Brigette Lundy-Paine as his sister Casey.

Atypical seasons one to three are currently available to watch on Netflix.

Flesh and Blood viewers pick their suspect in ITV’s chilling mystery

Flesh And Blood kicked off on Monday night, setting the wheels in motion for a truly gripping whodunnit and audiences are already convinced they know who the main suspect is.

The four-part drama follows three adult siblings Helen, Jake and Natalie – whose lives are thrown into disarray when their recently widowed mother Vivien declares she’s fallen for a new man, retired GP Mark.

The first episode started with a major cliffhanger – that one character had been carted off on a stretcher after being attacked. But just exactly who’s life is in grave danger remains firmly under wraps.

Flesh And Blood audiences have already picked their suspect, with many fingers pointing at nosy neighbour Mary (played by Imelda Staunton).

Some even reckon that Mary is in cahoots with Mark and that together they hatch a plan to attack one member of the family.

Sharing their theories on social media, one wrote: ‘This neighbour is a psycho. I thought it would be Mark but now it’s definitely her who is the killer.’

Echoing a similar sentiment, another posted: ‘Mark and the Neighbour both guilty of something and both creepy.’


Could Mary have orchestrated the whole thing?

After watching the first episode of Flesh And Blood last night, we’ve got a lot of questions that need answering as the series continues.

Fingers crossed tonight’s chapter will be able to give us some closure.

Flesh And Blood continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.

Courtney Love has celebrated her wedding anniversary with her late husband Kurt Cobain, describing the years after his death as ‘torturous’.

The legendary singer shared a snap of herself and the Nirvana frontman on their wedding day, holding bouquets of flowers on a beach in Hawaii as they linked arms.

Penning an emotional message, the 55-year-old wrote: ’28 years ago , we got married , in Honolulu, on Waikiki beach 🏝 tonight spoke to sponsor , I .. Lit some candles 🕯 chanted ,diamoku , Walked my dog . Went to sushi with my best friend , the closest I have to another one [sic].

’28 years ago I recall feeling , deeply , delighted , dizzy , so in love, and knowing how lucky I was .

‘This man was an angel. i thank him for looking out for me , many parts of the the last 28 years have been torturous chaotic and uphill, and in public?

‘That is the darkest s**t imaginable, it almost tapped my resilience , almost . but between Kurt’s strange amazing divinity , and the honor of a few true friends , the gift of desperation and sobriety . Of a Higher power and of love , and of empathy , I’m here now.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-PujFF00G/

‘It’ll be ok ,f**k, I see him on the shore . Rocking in the free world. My husband.’

Courtney and Kurt married back in 1992, two years before the Nirvana star’s tragic death. In August 1992, they had their daughter Frances Bean Cobain.

Kurt tragically died at the age of 27 in 1994, with his death being ruled as a suicide by gunshot.

Courtney, who recently celebrated being 18 months sober at London’s NME Awards, frequently pays tribute to her late husband, often sharing photos of him on social media.


Alongside one snap, posted to celebrate Frances’ 23rd birthday, Courtney penned a heartbreaking note to the singer.

Diane Kruger and Norman Reedus made the most of a day off by heading out in Los Angeles to run errands and spend some time together over lunch.

The couple, who share a 15-month-old daughter together, were spotted out and about without the baby as they headed out in their hometown.

Diane, 43, and Norman, 51, were spotted heading to a hair salon as well as stopping for coffee together, as the pair dressed down for the casual occasion.

The pair welcomed their daughter in November 2018, but they have yet to publicly reveal the baby’s name, in order to maintain some privacy for their child.

Diane and Norman have also chosen not to share photos of their baby’s face, with the pair only posting photos of the back of her head on the rare occasions they have posted pictures of her on social media.

The baby is Diane and Norman’s first child together, though the Walking Dead actor also has a 20-year-old son with his ex, model Helena Christensen.

Norman and Diane met in 2015 on the set of their movie Sky, where they played love interests.

Diane told People in 2016: ‘I didn’t know [Norman] before the film. We share a lot of intimate scenes. I was really nervous about meeting him and not being able to have a drink with him, or talk with him.’

She added: ‘He’s so relaxed. He’s really easygoing, very gentle.’

While promoting the film in 2016, Norman also added: ‘I just kind of fell in love with her, and she was like, “would you do it?” And I’m like, “yeah, I’ll do it”.


‘And I knew who was involved [Diane], so I said yes before I even read [the script].’

These two are too cute.

I Am Not Okay With This review: Stranger Things and End Of The F***ing World had a baby – and we’re obsessed

$

Netflix’s brand new comedy-drama I Am Not Okay With This is your next obsession and it’s like two of your favourite shows rolled into one.

From the makers of End Of The F***ing World (executive producer Jonathan Entwistle) and Stranger Things’ Shawn Levy, it’s incredibly clear that this dramedy is essentially the baby of both masterpieces. So what happens when you throw the elements of these two iconic programmes together? A binge-worthy show that will have you hooked after just a few minutes, is what.

I Am Not Okay With This has the awkward coming-of-age comic book vibe that we loved from End Of The F***ing World, not forgetting its deadpan humour. Combine that with the mysterious sci-fi component that catapulted Stranger Things into a global phenomenon and you’ve got a winning formula.

If that’s not enough to entice you already, then maybe the plot lines will. I Am Not Okay With This boasts of many threads to keep us hooked and hungry for more. The show focuses on Sydney (played by Sophia Lillis), a ‘boring 17-year-old white girl’, in her own words, who not only forced to confront an explosive power she’s developed but is also busy navigating the pangs of high-school, figuring out her sexuality and dealing with the sudden death of her dad. While her superpower discovery is the main event, we become just as invested in Sydney’s personal struggles and follow them with bated breath.

‘I think there might be something wrong with me’, she admits in the show’s gripping two-minute trailer, setting the wheels in motion for an absolute blinder.

Of course, like most coming-of-age shows, Sydney’s world is filled to the brim with awkward scenes, angsty teens, and horrible parents, and she plods through it all with besties Stanley Barber (Wyatt Oleff) and Dina (Sofia Bryant). And while they’re not completely in the fray, these characters are just as interesting too, with their own set of problems and painful backstories which unites them. As a result, we’re met with this multi-dimensional universe that has the potential to be further explored in a second series.

While Sophia has previously starred in Beverly Marsh and the 2019 adaptation of Stephen King’s It: Chapter Two, to name but a few, this is the 18-year-old’s first role at the helm. She seamlessly manages to play Sydney as this shy, confused, yet curious teen who’s consumed by the world which seems to be working against her. Her portrayal is so convincing that – although relating to her story might be difficult – it’s hard not to feel for her or want to reach out and hug her through the dark times.

I Am Not Okay With This is an eight-parter and there’s something extra delicious about each episode averaging 20-minutes. It allows you to polish off the series in its entirety in a single evening if you so desire (as will be the case). The short and snappy episodes are the ideal length and mean storylines aren’t drawn out, but they’re not rushed either. Rather, they beautifully capture the comic book feel, much like End Of The F***ing World did before it ended with its second series last year.

The series ends on an almighty cliffhanger, which while we won’t spoil, is so intense that it will have you crying out for a second series. Literally, they *cannot* leave it like that and we need answers ASAP.

Talking points:

  • Sydney and Stanley’s discovery in the bowling alley
  • The, and we can’t stress this enough, Homecoming in the final episode

Verdict:

I Am Not Okay With This is truly captivating and will have you hooked in an instant. It’s the perfect antidote as we continue to mourn End Of The F***ing World and more than fills a hole as we wait for Stanger Things 4. All we need now is a second season, like ASAP.

I Am Not Okay With This launches on Netflix on Wednesday 26 February.

Finneas O’Connell claims he and sister Billie Eilish have not benefited from nepotism and actually pay their parents a salary

Finneas O’Connell won’t have anyone say that he and sister Billie Eilish are only successful off the back of their parents, because, quite frankly, it isn’t true.

While yes, their parents have been known to work within the film world, Finneas insists that he and Billie never used their parents for their ‘connections’ and they’re now helping out their mum and dad financially.

Their mum Maggie Baird, is an actress and screenwriter, while their dad Patrick O’Connell is an actor.

They’re both thought to be musicians too – although Finneas says his dad was also a construction worker and his mum a teacher, so that they could financially support the family.

When one fan seemed to suggest that record producer Finneas and bad guy hit-maker Billie have benefited from nepotism, he hit back with otherwise.

Finneas tweeted: ‘During my life time, our parents were never able to fully financially support us off of their work as actors.

‘Our dad worked 12 hour days 7 days a week as a construction worker for Mattel and our mom was a teacher. Our parents gave us love but knew no one in the record industry.’

He followed up in a second tweet that while he paid off his parents’ mortgage, Billie now gives them both a salary to tour with her and Finneas.

He tweeted: ‘I paid off their mortgage last year and billie pays them each salaries to tour with us full time though they have told us many times they would work for us for free.’

Both Billie and Finneas have been making waves in the music biz and their success has seen them both pick up five-Grammy awards each in 2020.

Billie had also scooped her first award at the Brits too, picking up best international female solo artist.

It’s all because of her album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which Finneas served as a producer and co-writer on and it reached number one in both the UK and US charts.

The pair have also come up with the new James Bond theme song for new movie No Time To Die that hits cinemas in April.

Billie debuted the track, also titled No Time To Die, for the first time at the Brit Awards, earlier this month, and its since topped the charts – with its opening week of chart sales being the biggest a Bond theme tune has ever seen.

Finneas revealed in an interview with GQ that he and Billie had actually penned the track while in their bunks on their tour bus.

They were given the first few pages of No Time To Die’s script to serve as inspiration and he says the whole experience was pretty ‘incredible.’

‘We were given the first 20 pages of the script. I guess that’s up to the point when the song comes in during the movie, right?

‘We were able to read the first 20 pages, which was obviously incredible. It gave us such a good steer and insight into where the song would fall and the tone.’

Chris Evans is reportedly in talks for the remake of 1986 hit film Little Shop Of Horrors, with him being pegged for the role of Dr Orin Scrivello.

The Captain America star, 38, is reportedly in negotiations for the role in the remake of the film which went on to be a Broadway musical, which will be directed by Greg Berlanti.

As well as Chris, Taron Egerton and Scarlett Johansson are also being tipped for roles in the upcoming movie, while Billy Porter is rumoured for the voice of Audrey II, the evil venus-flytrap-type giant plant who wants to take over the world.

Chris’s character Dr Scrivello is a dentist and the abusive boyfriend of Audrey (the human, not the plant) who is set to be played by Scarlett.

Taron is rumoured to be in the running for the lead character of Seymour, with Warner Bros reportedly speaking to the actors about the project since last autumn.

Little Shop of Horrors follows Seymour, a timid florist working at Skid Row Florists under the owner, Mr. Mushnik. Seymour is secretly in love with Audrey, who also works at the shop.

Seymour becomes a celebrity when he discovers an enormous extra-terrestrial venus flytrap-style plant he calls Audrey II, but problems arise when the plant starts demanding to be fed with human blood.

A Little Shop of Horrors was first made in 1960, before being made into a stage musical in 1982, and then a film once again in 1986.

Billy Porter has reportedly signed up for the project, with negotiations apparently still ongoing to get Chris officially on board.


Although Taron and Scarlett are at ‘various stages of talk’ according to the Hollywood Reporter, it is ‘unclear if deals will be made’.

A release date for the remake of Little Shop Of Horrors is as yet unknown.

What a dream team (Pictures: Getty)

HRVY has had an incredible year, jetting all over the world for his tour and collaborating with the likes of NCT Dream on incredible singles.

However, the 21-year-old singer has made it clear he’s not slowing down anytime soon, admitting he’s determined not to get too ‘comfortable’.

Chatting to Metro.co.uk at VidCon London, the musician – real name Harvey Cantwell – explained: ‘You never want to be too comfortable, because otherwise you’ll stop working hard.

‘I’m always like “No, that’s not good enough,” because otherwise, you never really challenge yourself.’

Sounds brutal – but it seems to have worked wonders for the musician.

After he saw success with single Don’t Need Your Love, collaborating with K-Pop heroes NCT Dream, he’s still setting his sights high for the future, revealing he’s keen to join forces with BLACKPINK next.

‘I love BLACKPINK, I think they’re amazing. I think they look great, I think they sound amazing,’ he raved about the girl group.

‘And they did a collaboration with Dua Lipa and I thought it sounded sick, so maybe one day. Fingers crossed!’

We’re already sold on this – let’s make it happen, people!

The Million Ways singer, whose fans have previously shut down shopping centres after mobbing the star, has always been dedicated to the hustle, which has meant that relationships have fallen by the wayside.

Laughing he told us: ‘I’m single – I’m happy being single actually!’

However, he went on to add: ‘Hopefully at one point, when everything’s there, once everything’s settled in and we’re doing just fine – right now I’m still in my climb, d’you know what I mean?

‘I don’t have time for baggage! Once I’ve climbed the ladder, then I can think about that.’

And, when asked about what’s most important to him, the answer was simple – the fans.

Well, it’s no surprise when you consider his latest single Me Because Of You was inspired by a comment from a fan.

‘There’s loads of stories that I see on Twitter and a lot of them say how I’ve helped them through certain situations and the music and that so that inspires me to want to do more music and help them even more,’ he said.

‘Even if it’s a song that’s nothing to do with what their situation is, it’s just the fact that music just brings them out of the world that they’re in.

‘So it inspires me just to create music and do the stuff that I like, and hopefully it makes them even happier!’

Cardi B defends Dwyane Wade’s daughter Zaya coming out: ‘People are born like that’

Cardi B has spoken out to defend Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union’s daughter Zaya who recently came out as transgender. 

Dwyane’s child Zaya, who was born Zion, now uses female pronouns and her trans journey was confirmed by her NBA legend father earlier this month. 

However, not everyone has supported Zaya’s truth with rappers Young Thug and Boosie Badazz intentionally misgendering her. 

Cardi, 27, has hit back at the criticism and says the 12-year-old was brave for coming out so young.

‘People are born like that, like that Lady Gaga song: “I was born this way”. That s*** is f***ing real,’ Cardi said in an Instagram story. 

‘But it’s like, how old is too young? If you were born thinking that you are a girl in a boy’s body, how old do you have to be to keep knowing that that’s who you are? That’s who you are. That’s your identity. If that’s who you feel that you are, how old – what is the age limit for you to know that that’s what you want to be?’ 

Recalling her state of mind as a young child compared to now, Cardi continued: ‘There’s certain things that I always wanted to do when I was younger, right? And I’d be – and I started to do now, now that I have money, I be like: “Wow, I wish I woulda been learning how to do this. I wish I woulda been knowing this and that. I woulda been happy”.

‘What’s the point of you being older and then transitioning and being like: “Damn, I shoulda been do this. I coulda been found my happiness if I woulda been doing”. Let people find they happiness, especially kids. Let them feel comfortable doing what they want to be.’ 

The Bodak Yellow rapper revealed how she has asked many of her transgender friends when they ‘knew [they] wanted to change’, to which they all said variations of: ‘I always felt like I was a girl. I always felt like I was a girl. Like I was born like this.’ 

Cardi B added that she understands the critics’ way of thinking as they may not have ‘grown up with trans [or] gay people’ so they ‘just don’t be understanding s**t’. 

‘But please, try to understand. Cause sometimes you’ll be wanting people to understand you, so try to understand somebody else, especially when it’s a child,’ she urged. 

‘Before [Zaya] even came out, I used to see people saying: “Oh, I think his son is kinda, you know, zesty, this, this and that.” Why keep a secret and feel like a burden and feel like: “Oh, my gosh, what’s gonna happen if somebody find out?”’ Cardi added. 

‘Somebody is going to find out. And then somebody’s going to put the business out there, and y’all gonna be laughing. Speak your truth. Speak it.’ 

During Dwyane’s jersey retirement ceremony last week, Zaya received applause from the audience due to her coming out as trans.

From quiet child to brutal serial killer: Inside the mind of ‘Crossbow Cannibal’ and prostitute murderer Stephen Griffiths

Experts will attempt to look inside the mind of serial killer Stephen Griffiths who was convicted of murdering three prostitutes in a new documentary that will air next month.

Titled Making a Monster, experts will share new information about what turned Stephen from a quiet, withdrawn child, into a brutal serial killer who terrorised the prostitutes of Bradford, self-styling himself as the ‘Crossbow Cannibal’.

The docuseries will give viewers an insight into the dark mind of Stephen who pleaded guilty to killing Suzanne Blamires, Shelley Armitage and Susan Rushworth in 2010.

Examining his early life, experts try to understand how his depraved obsession with death led him to kill three women in brutal fashion.

Susan, 43, disappeared on 22 June 2009, followed by 31-year-old Shelley on 26 April 2010 and 36-year-old Suzanne on 21 May of the same year.

The women were all sex workers based in Bradford.

Parts of Suzanne’s body were found in the River Aire in Shipley, near Bradford, on 25 May.

In June 2010, the police investigation led officers to recover other human remains they found from the same river.

After testing, the DNA from the tissue found belonged to Shelley, who had gone missing in May 2010.

Susan’s body has never been found.

Police also discovered that the mature student’s obsession with murder began after he studied crime on the internet.

A group of the world’s leading forensic psychologists and psychiatrists come together to share their own first-hand experiences and insights into the mind of serial killers like Stephen.

The brand-new UK commission, Making a Monster will lead viewers on a journey through the psyches of the most notorious serial killers of all-time.

Through the lens of some of the world’s leading forensic psychiatrists and psychologists, each episode of Making a Monster tells the story of a killer’s life – from cradle to grave.

With the use of psychological formulas, the experts endeavor to explain how monumental life events can lead people to commit the most appalling of crimes.

At the end of each episode, the experts aim to answer: what did it take to make a monster?

Making a Monster continues on CRIME+INVESTIGATION® on Monday 2 March at 9pm.

Tom Cruise wasn’t in Italy when Mission: Impossible 7 had to halt production amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The cast and crew were meant to film scenes for the latest installment of the action franchise in Venice over the next few weeks but the coronavirus had different plans for them.

While the crew packed up and left, Tom was blissfully safe in another country.

A rep told Metro.co.uk: ‘He wasn’t in Italy.’

The studio stated how it was taking the concerns of their staff seriously.

They announced: ‘During this hiatus, we want to be mindful of the concerns of the crew and are allowing them to return home until production starts.

‘We will continue to monitor this situation, and work alongside health and government officials as it evolves.’

Mission: Impossible 7 will see Tom reprise his role as agent Ethan Hunt, alongside Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby.

A seventh person died of coronavirus in Italy on Monday (24 February) and the number of confirmed cases in the country quickly rose to 229.

Eleven towns across Lombardy, where the outbreak emerged suddenly last week, and Veneto have been quarantined for at least the next 15 days.

Luca Zaia, President of the Veneto Region, cancelled all sports, cultural, public events, and ordered the closure of all schools and museums.

The much-loved Venice carnival has also been cancelled.

It is still not known whether the production halt will impact the release date, which is currently set for 23 July 2021.

Pete Davidson revealed he knew his relationship with Ariana Grande ‘was over’ the moment Mac Miller died.

The Saturday Night Live comedian opened up about his engagement to Ariana and how watching her grieve her ex-boyfriend affected him.

Speaking to Charlamagne Tha God, the 26-year-old explained: ‘I totally got it. She would even tell you this. I was like, “Listen, I get it, do whatever you’ve got to do, I’ll be here”.

‘I think I said, “I’ll be here until you don’t want me to be here.” I pretty much knew it was around over after that. That was really horrible, and I can’t imagine what that s**t is like.

‘All I do know is that she really loved the s**t out of him, and she wasn’t putting on a show or anything. That was f***ed up. Prayers to his family and all of his friends.’

Mac died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol on 7 September 2018 at the age of 26.

The star was found at his home in San Fernando Valley and his death came just as he was preparing to head off on tour, following the release of his album Swimming.

Ariana paid tribute to her ex the days following his death, posting a video of him laughing on Instagram.

She captioned the post: ‘I adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will. i can’t believe you aren’t here anymore. i really can’t wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do.

‘You were my dearest friend. for so long. above anything else. i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved.

‘I hope you’re okay now. rest.’

Just a month after Mac’s death, Pete and Ariana split up.

Meanwhile, Mac and Ariana began dating in August 2016, going public the following month and broke up in early 2018.

**Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead season 10.**

The Walking Dead’s Melissa McBride has celebrated the return of season 10 with a behind the scenes selfie featuring her stunt double.

On Sunday night, the zombie hit returned to our screens seeing Magna, Connie, Jerry, Carol, Aaron, Kelly and Daryl trapped underground in Alpha’s cave.

And as the majority made it out alive, Magna and Connie were barricaded inside after Carol set off a whole load of dynamite.

But while they managed to navigate their way through the underground tunnels, it turns out the stars of the show had a little helping hand.

Taking to Twitter, the Carol actress shared a picture of herself beaming down the lens alongside stuntwoman, Karin Justman.

‘Double trouble!’ the 54-year-old wrote to her 918,000 followers before adding the hashtags: ‘#TheWalkingDead #KarinJustman #StuntDouble.’

Eagle-eyed fans commented on the picture and couldn’t help but point out Norman Reedus, who was sat on some grass behind them.

‘Norman behaving well,’ one joked about the Daryl star as another added: ‘Norm in the back is a mood.’

Someone else echoed: ‘Ahem I spy Norman in the background! We see you, Melissa, hahaha. Thanks for sharing this gem!!!! Two Carols for one… You’re so beautiful, ladies.’

During the latest installment titled Squeeze, Daryl and Carol shared a heartfelt moment where he asked her whose side she is on.

After rekindling their friendship, Carol reassured her closest friend that she would no longer be sporadic, but ended up running off with a box of dynamite to try and blow up Alpha’s horde.

Daryl was unimpressed with her decision and chased after her, yet despite his best attempts, Carol accidentally dropped the dynamite seeing an explosion in the cave.

As they escaped, Daryl’s love interest Connie was buried underground – and Carol knew it was all her fault.


But will she pay for her mistake? Or will Daryl take her back under his wing?

The Walking Dead continues Sunday on AMC in the US and Fox the following day in the UK.
