Only Adam’s sister Bethany attended from his side, serving as a bridesmaid alongside Holly’s sisters, Tilly and Megan.
She also revealed how her siblings played a ‘special’ role in her big day.
In the caption of her latest post, Holly penned: “The night before our wedding we hosted an intimate cocktail party to kick start the Weekend Celebrations.”
She went on: “My siblings all did a speech which was so special and we celebrated with cake, spicy margs and then an early night, ready for the big day!!”
Fans flocked to the comments, with some quick to bring up Adam’s falling out with his parents.
One person penned: “Have some respect for your parents as well, who supported you through every thick and thin and made you the person you are today.”
Another asked: “What about his MOM and DAD?”
This comes after the Olympian shared a clip from his wedding speech over the weekend.
Taking to Instagram, he shared a post of his speech in which he declared he would “always choose” Holly.
As Adam made the promise, he was seen getting emotional and wiping tears from his eyes.
But fans weighed in on the emotional vow, with one person commenting under the video: “I’ll always choose you – hmmmm, can’t help but wonder how Victoria [Beckham] felt hearing that sentence, especially since it’s the same one Brooklyn keeps using in his posts as a subtle jab at his family.”
This comment touched upon the ongoing Beckham family feud since Brooklyn married wife Nicola Peltz.
Adam and Holly’s wedding had a star-studded guest list,
The guest list for their big day included the Beckhams and several other famous faces, despite some notable absent loved ones from Adam’s side.

Myha’la is a married woman — and has been for a year.
The actor, known for HBO’s finance drama “Industry” and dark comedy “Bodies Bodies Bodies,” revealed that she and Armando Rivera tied the knot last year. She celebrated their anniversary via Instagram on Monday, sharing photos of herself with Rivera and pictures of friends and family during their intimate ceremony.
“One year of marriage,” she wrote in the caption of the post. The 29-year-old actor also included a disclaimer to reassure followers they weren’t the only ones who missed out on the wedding news.
“Sos if this is how you’re finding out, promise we didn’t tell most everyone,” she wrote. The San Jose native, birth name Myha’la Herrold, also expressed gratitude to her family and friends for “helping make this day so very magical.”
The spouses married five years after striking up a conversation during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to W Magazine. Myha’la gained popularity for her portrayal of dogged aspiring finance analyst Harper Stern in “Industry,” which debuted in November 2020. Rivera was among the fans who messaged Myha’la and her co-stars amid the show’s success. Rivera, a soccer player and an actor, then decided to interview his would-be-wife for a college journalism assignment.
“I thought, it’ll be five, 10 minutes, whatever. And immediately was like, ‘Whoa, you’re so hot and nice!’ ” Myha’la told W Magazine in 2023. “We talked much longer than we expected.”
They finally took their relationship offline, meeting in person in the Bay Area at the beginning of 2021. Since then, the pair have flaunted their romance on social media and various high-profile events, most recently the red carpet premiere of “Industry” Season 4 in New York City on Thursday.
“Industry” returns to HBO on Sunday. The drama hails from creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay and also stars Ken Leung, Marisa Abela, Harry Lawtey, Kit Harington and Sagar Radia.
Elle Simone Scott, a chef and cookbook author best known for her work on “America’s Test Kitchen,” has died. She was 49.
Describing her as “one of [the organization’s] brightest stars,” “America’s Test Kitchen” Chief Content Officer Dan Souza confirmed in a statement Thursday that Scott died Monday after a long battle with ovarian cancer. The news was first announced Wednesday on “ATK’s” Instagram.
“Scott brought warmth and a vibrant spirit to everything she did,” Souza said. “Friends and colleagues will remember [her] for her ability to create community and provide opportunities for others, both inside and outside of work … Her legacy will live on at America’s Test Kitchen and in the homes and hearts of the millions of home cooks whose lives she touched.”
A Detroit native, Scott joined “America’s Test Kitchen” in 2016 and became the first Black woman cast member on the popular PBS cooking show. In addition to authoring cookbooks “Boards: Stylish Spreads for Casual Gatherings” and “Food Gifts: 150+ Irresistible Recipes for Crafting Personalized Presents,” she hosted “The Walk-In” podcast and worked as a food stylist.
In a tribute on Instagram, friend and fellow TV chef Carla Hall praised Scott for being “a force” and “a trailblazer.”
“At America’s Test Kitchen, Elle helped open doors that had long been closed — becoming one of the first Black women audiences saw in the test kitchen, and doing so with grace, authority, and joy,” wrote Hall. “Her voice mattered. Her work mattered. She mattered.”
According to WBUR, Scott, who lived in Boston, pivoted to a career in food in 2008 after she lost her home, car and job as a social worker during the recession.
“The thought occurred to me, ‘if I have to do something for the next 25 years of my life, it better be something I love,’ ” Scott said during a 2019 radio segment. “The only thing I could think of was cooking. It was the one thing that brought me peace and joy.”
She became an advocate for representation in food media and the culinary world, co-founding SheChef Inc., an organization for women chefs of color that provides mentorship to young women pursuing a career in the field, in 2013.
“I thought it would be a great way to create a network to bring those underrepresented people together to see how we could support each other, create a network where we can help each other grow professionally — also to just deal with the angst of being women in kitchens where we are the only women in the kitchen,” Scott told WTOP News in 2019.
Scott was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2016, according to the Detroit News, but told the outlet she was cancer-free in 2020.
“Elle faced ovarian cancer with courage and honesty, using her platform to educate, advocate, and uplift even while fighting for her life,” Hall said in her tribute. “We honor you, Elle. Your legacy lives on in every kitchen you inspired and every cook who finally saw themselves reflected back.”
There are some things that make a person happy they’re not a millennial mom. Ashley Tisdale’s mommy group drama is one of those things.
Because Tisdale — now Ashley Tisdale French — sounds like she might be stuck in her own “High School Musical,” and it looks as if Hilary Duff’s husband just threw a stink bomb under the bleachers.
Adding to the drama: Duff and Mandy Moore are rumored to be part of the group, though Tisdale French has annoyingly refused to name names.
“Since becoming a public figure as a teenager, it’s often the thing I least expect that people most want to talk about,” the former child star wrote in an essay for New York Magazine that echoes what she wrote a while back on her own blog. “Sometimes, I’ll say something offhandedly, only to see it turn into a headline or start a conversation on TikTok.”
Bottom line, per the essay, is that Tisdale French — who married composer Christopher French in 2014 — was pregnant during the pandemic. She missed out on baby showers and prenatal yoga classes and handing her newborn baby off to acquaintances. Then a friend brought together a group of new moms.
“[F]inally, we were able to be together, and our kids were able to be together, and it all felt right,” she wrote.
The founder of the Being Frenshe line of personal care products thought she had joined a group of cool kids who did cool things.
“I felt energized by being around women who understood the challenge of feeding a baby while taking a Zoom call.”
She literally called them cool.
“[I]t made me hopeful about finding the balance between fulfilling work and family life, since all these cool women were able to do it. Maybe we’d be able to share our secrets to success.”
Then social media burst her bubble.
“I remember being left out of a couple of group hangs, and I knew about them because Instagram made sure it fed me every single photo and Instagram Story.”
She wrote that she realized her mommy group was just like high school.
“Even though it had been decades since tenth grade, the experience of being left out felt so similar.”
But now she was a grown-up, so she took a stand.
“So that’s exactly what I texted to the group after being left out from yet another group hang: ‘This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.’”
People didn’t react well, she said. One mommy sent flowers, then didn’t acknowledge her thank-you. Another was like, “You weren’t invited? I thought you were.”
Then again, it also includes a Kathy Griffin essay about post-divorce dating at age 65 that includes some serious name-dropping — “It wasn’t my idea; it was all Sia and our friend Nia Vardalos’s fault. We were at Sia’s house, just being silly girls, when they dared me to do it.” — and a detailed discussion of condoms.
But back to Tisdale French.
“Why me? The truth is, I don’t know and I probably never will. What I do know is that it took me back to an unpleasant but familiar feeling I thought I’d left behind years ago.”
She was more specific about what happened in her older blog post, by the way.
“I realized that there were group text chains that didn’t include everyone, which led to cliques forming within the larger group. And after the third or fourth time of seeing social media photos of everyone else at a hangout that I didn’t get invited to, it felt like I wasn’t really part of the group after all.”
She also shared a revelation with her blog readers.
“If a mom group consistently leaves you feeling hurt, drained, or left out, it’s not the mom group for you. (Even if it used to be!) It’s no longer serving you in a way that lifts you up, and you don’t have to stay out of obligation or anything else.”
We will never know how far into either essay Hilary Duff’s husband got. We do know that Matthew Koma didn’t hesitate to pull out the Burn Book.
Koma got riled up enough over it that on Instagram, he mimicked Tisdale French’s repost of New York Magazine’s promotional post about the essay, slapping a picture of his own face over hers and changing the headline from “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group” to his own: “When You’re The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers,” with “A Mom Group Tell All Through A Father’s Eyes” as a sub-headline.
Alas, he posted it as an Instagram story, now expired, so we can imagine it only with the help of outlets such as People, which for the longest while has been writing about Reddit AITAH posts and the subsequent comments telling the original poster whether they are indeed the jerk in a particular situation. (Not that any jerks are being discussed here.)
Tisdale French doesn’t name names in her essay, but Koma’s reaction seems to indicate that former child star Duff, 38, might have been one of the allegedly mean moms who was definitely not being named. And Duff and Koma hosted former child star Moore, 41, and her family after last year’s Eaton fire in Altadena, when Moore’s home burned down, so some might bet on Moore also being among the mothers of small children in former child star Tisdale French’s group.
Tisdale French, meanwhile, apparently anticipated this kind of speculation in reaction to the New York essay because she had experienced it after blogging about the same topic. And apparently it’s all wrong, wrong, wrong.
“It’s a subject that has made women DM me to say ‘I feel seen’ and to share their most emotional stories with me,” she wrote for the magazine.
“It has also made wannabe online sleuths try to do some investigating like they’re on ‘CSI’ (please, don’t even try — whatever you think is true isn’t even close).”
Cool? Uncool? Christopher French, Ashley’s husband, may have made his own decision on that already.
“Underrated life skill,” French wrote on Wednesday morning in an Instagram story, quoting author and mindfulness coach Cory Allen. “Pausing to decide if it’s worth your energy.”
Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel has revealed her new surprise career moveCredit: InstagramJackie’s new career could spark rivalry with Cruz’s brother Brooklyn Beckham’s wife NicolaCredit: GettyJackie was at Cruz’s dad’s 50th birthday celebrations which Brooklyn and Nicola snubbedCredit: Instagram
The talented star is already known for being a music producer and model and now she wants to add another string to her bow.
Jackie revealed in a lengthy video that she wants to make movies, but musical ones.
She opened the post up with saying how this was one of her New Year’s resolutions.
Jackie then said: “I really want to write a musical and I’ve wanted to write a musical for a really long time. I know it sounds lame and I know a lot of musicals are s**t but mine will not be.”
To clarify what type of musical she meant, she wrote over the top of the clip “not Broadway, but movies”.
Continuing, Jackie said: “And I’ve always loved musicals. I want to write. you know something as timeless and iconic as Grease or something you know Disney Pixar vibes.
“I would love that as well. I’m a huge fan of like Rio. The music is just unbelievable. In a dream world.”
Jackie ended the video with: “I think 2026 is the year you make things happen and you expect the unexpected.”
CRUZ SPEAKS OUT
Meanwhile, leading up to Christmas, Jackie’s boyfriend Cruz made several attempts to extend an olive branch to his big brother amid the high profile feud.
One of which was a photo he shared of himself with both of his brothers, Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham, 23.
Across the snap Cruz wrote: “Love you guys.”

However, despite this olive branch, things took a bad turn shortly before Christmas.
Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
May 2025:David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.

Jen said finding motivation to work out was hard but persevering gave her a buzz.
She explained: “That feeling is what brings me back.”
Last year she told People: “No pain, no gain. That’s not true at all.
For years, the blonde beauty swore by the idea that pushing her body to the extreme was the only way to stay fit, as she confessed: “I always had the message in my brain.”
She advised: “You gotta do 45 minutes of cardio, then floor work and then weights.”
Through her ongoing partnership with Pvolve, a low-impact fitness program, Jennifer has completely transformed the way she thinks about exercise.
She shared: “You can actually enjoy your workout, not break your body, and have an incredible transformation.
“In all the workouts I’ve tried over the years, this one has transformed my body more than any of the others.”

Evangeline Lilly says she has brain damage after fainting and falling on a boulder at a beach in Hawaii last year.
The “Ant-Man and the Wasp” star kicked off 2026 by sharing an update about her concussion on Instagram. In a video posted Friday, Lilly said that “almost every area in [her] brain is functioning at a decreased capacity” since she “smashed [her] face open.”
“I’m entering into this new year, the Year of the Horse, with some bad news about my concussion,” the “Lost” alum said. “A lot of you asked how I’m doing. A lot of you have inquired about the brain scans that you heard I got. And the results came back from the scans and [showed] I do have brain damage from the [traumatic brain injury] and possibly other factors going on.”
Lilly, who played second-gen superhero Hope van Dyne in multiple installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, shared in a Substack post in May saying that she had “fainted at the beach” and “fell face first into a boulder.” She also said she has a history of blacking out and that doctors have been unable to determine why.
In the caption of the video update, the 46-year-old wrote that it is “comforting to know [her] cognitive decline isn’t just peri-menopause” but that it’s “discomforting to know what an uphill battle it will be to try to reverse the deficiencies.”
“Now my job is to get to the bottom of that with the doctors and then embark on the hard work of fixing it, which I don’t look forward to, because I feel like hard work is all I do,” Lilly said in the video. “I’m feeling extraordinarily grateful and blessed to be able to play one more day, one more year, on this beautiful living planet … Thank you all for caring.”
Lilly’s onscreen mom and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” co-star Michelle Pfeiffer sent her support in the Instagram post’s comments.
“You are a warrior. Nothing-not even this will defeat you my friend,” Pfeiffer wrote. Actors David Dastmalchian and Alyssa Milano were also among the Instagram well-wishers.
Lilly, who portrayed resourceful plane crash survivor Kate Austen for all six seasons of “Lost” as well as Elven archer Tauriel in twoinstallments of Peter Jackson’s “Hobbit” trilogy, announced in 2024 that she was taking an “indefinite hiatus” from acting.

Crouching down on the floor while eyeing up the camera, Helen radiated confidence and don’t-care energy.
Meanwhile Helen posted a snap of her cuddling their son, writing: “Loved Charlie’s nativity. My star, my heartbeat.”
Helen and Scott split up in 2022 after spending 13 years together.
The former flames, who were engaged, have hinted at struggling to co-parent, with Helen telling The Sun: “He lives like Somerset and I live in Lancashire. So we live so far away from each other, which is really difficult when you’ve got three young children.
“I hate calling it co-parenting because I don’t really feel like a co-parent to be honest with you anyway.”

While Shaughna Phillips also added: “Sending you and your girls so much love and positive prayers, you are a superwoman and they are lucky to have you ❤️❤️❤️”
Jesy’s Journey
Jesy has shared that her babies had to endure “months and months” of doctors appointments before finally getting diagnosed with SMA Type-1.
Spinal Muscular Atrophy: Signs and symptoms
Spinal muscular atrophy is a disease which takes away a persons strength and it causes problems by disrupting the motor nerve cells in the spinal cord.
This causes an individual to lose the ability to walk, eat and breathe.
There are four types of SMA – which are based on age.
Type 1 is diagnosed within the first six months of life and is usually fatal.
Type 2 is diagnosed after six months of age.
Type 3 is diagnosed after 18 months of age and may require the individual to use a wheelchair.
Type 4 is the rarest form of SMA and usually only surfaces in adulthood.
What are the symptoms?
The symptoms of SMA will depend on which type of condition you have.
But the following are the most common symptoms:
• Floppy or weak arms and legs
• Movement problems – such as difficulty sitting up, crawling or walking
• Twitching or shaking muscles
• Bone and joint problems – such as an unusually curved spine
• Swallowing problems
• Breathing difficulties
However, SMA does not affect a person’s intelligence and it does not cause learning disabilities.
How common is it?
The majority of the time a child can only be born with the condition if both of their parents have a fault gene which causes SMA.
Usually, the parent would not have the condition themselves – they would only act as a carrier.
Statistics show around 1 in every 40 to 60 people is a carrier of the gene which can cause SMA.
If two parents carry the faulty gene there is a 1 in 4 (25 per cent) chance their child will get Spinal muscular atrophy.
In her newest video, Jesy revealed that her mother, Janice, raised concerns after the twins didn’t show much movement in their legs.
While their initial concerns were chalked up to the twins being premature and therefore unlikely to hit milestones at the same pace as other children, Jesy and Zion pushed for more tests after they had trouble feeding.

According to Jesy, it took three to four months of appointments before they finally got a diagnosis, with the pair then being treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
“I feel like I’ve almost had to become a nurse in the space of two weeks,” Jesy added, explaining how she has had to put her daughters on breathing machines.
“The reason I wanted to make this video was because, the last few months has honestly been the most heartbreaking time of my life. I feel like my whole life has done a 360.
“I’m grieving a life I thought I was going to have with my children,” she emotionally said, before acknowledging that she is grateful to have them.
“I truly believe that my girls will defy all odds. And with the right help, they will fight this, and go on to do things that have never been done.”
“They probably will never regain their neck strength, so they will be disabled,” she revealed, adding it’s also unlikely they’ll ever be able to walk.
“So the best thing we can do right now is get them treatment and just hope for the best.”
Jesy then said that she wanted to make the video because if the disease is detected early enough in the first few months of a baby’s life “a lot of this stuff could be prevented”.
Taking to his Instagram page, Zion shared a photo of his daughters in what looked a stroller.
With tubes attached to their noses, the two tots could still be smiling widely.
Alongside the photo, Zion wrote: “Still smiling through all the challenges. Daddy loves you so much.”

Alongside the photo, Zion wrote: “Still smiling through all the challenges.
Jesy welcomed twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe prematurely at 31 weeks on May 15, 2025.
In a video she shared on Sunday, the former Little Mix star broke down as she described how the devastating diagnosis emerged.
The twins, she said, had now been diagnosed with a condition called SMA Type 1, or Werdnig-Hoffmann disease, the most severe form ofSpinal Muscular Atrophy.
The lifelong disabling condition causes dramatic muscle weakness with severe breathing and swallowing issues and is commonly fatal without radical treatment.
Tearful Jesy said: “If it’s not treated in time, your baby’s life expectancy will not make it past the age of two.”
She later added: “When they assessed the girls at Great Ormond Street, we were told that they will probably never be able to walk.
“They probably will never regain their neck strength, so they will be disabled.
“So the best thing we can do right now is get them treatment and just hope for the best.”
Jesy then revealed that the girls, now seven and a half months old, have had their treatment, which she is “so grateful for, because if they don’t have it, they will die”.
Though Jesy was upset, she felt hopeful for the future.

“I truly believe that my girls will defy all odds. And with the right help, they will fight this, and go on to do things that have never been done,” she said.
The singer said that she wanted to make the video because if the disease is detected early enough in the first few months of a baby’s life “a lot of this stuff could be prevented”.
Jesy explained how the treatment is where the gene, that they don’t have, is put back in the body.
But Jesy affirmed how “there is no cure for SMA” but added how the treatment can help.
She then detailed some of the symptoms to look out for in babies, such as “floppiness” and not being able to hold their head up on their own.
“If any one is watching this video and they think they see these signs in their child, then please, please take your child to doctor, to the hospital, because time is of the essence.”

NICOLA Peltz has dealt a snub to the Beckhams amid a fresh love declaration to husband Brooklyn.
It came after the actress and model, who celebrates her 31st birthday on January 9, kick-started the party vibes early.

On her Stories, the American screen star shared images of her birthday buffet including a stunning pink cake with a ballet dancer topper.
Pink balloons filled the room and Nicola donned a baby pink corset top to match the occasion.
Another white-iced cake was adorned with the words “Happy Birthday Nicola” while she told how she was “lucky” in a separate post.
Bates Motel star Nicola rounded off her uploads with an image showing her kneeling down to celebrate with a relative – a star contrast to Brooklyn who left dad David “heartbroken” after he snubbed his milestone 50th birthday last year.
At the time, it was understood Brooklyn and Nicola instead flew toNew Yorkahead of their Met Gala appearance, an event they previously attended in 2022.
RUMBLING ON
Nicola’s message about feeling “grateful” came just days after former footballer Becks used the word in a tribute to his family to round off 2025.
The beer’s German parent firm Brauerei Beck & Co has opposed it and been granted an extension until next month to file documents.
The company is part of alcohol giant AB InBev, which produces one in four lagers sold worldwide, including Stella Artois and Budweiser as well as Beck’s.
He has also ran into issues with his hot sauce firm and various spin offs with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
On the third occasion, it provoked the ire of the trendy trainer firm On Cloud, which has the unique soles with holes and tennis legend Federer has pumped in $50 million of his own cash to become an investor.
David wrote: “I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself ) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner.”
Despite not mentioning Brooklyn by name, David sweetly praised his “kids” and shared his love for them.
He added: “I‘m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all… But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say ‘Onto the the next‘.
“Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025. Victoria I love you & our kids.”
The couple have also shared subtle digs at his family in recent days after his brother Cruz revealed the Beckhams woke up to being blocked by the couple.

The 28-year-old brunette bombshell – who has been busy putting rumours of a split with Timothée Chalamet to bed – took to Instagram to share a series of selfies while lounging by the pool.
Preened to perfection with a full face of make-up, the TV personality wore a metallic two-piece featuring a plunging neckline and matching drawstring bottoms.
Sporting light eyeshadow and mascara on the lashes, she completed the look with pink blush for a radiant glow on her cheekbones and a darker nude-coloured matte tint to her lips.
She styled her long, dark hair with a middle parting, sat on her shoulders in bouncy waves.
She commented on her post: “Ur so hot.”
Fans applauded: “2026 goals,” stunning” and “obsessed.”
Others condemned: “I’d be so embarrassed to pose like this and ask someone to take my picture and then be self-obsessed enough to post it online. Dreadful.”
“Hasn’t she ever heard of OnlyFans?” enquired a second.

“What happens when this woman can no longer post pictures like this for validation? It’s going to hit her hard when she has to be more than just her body!” ranted another.
The entrepreneur played the supportive partner this weekend, attending the 2026 Palm Springs International Film Festival Film Awards to cheer on boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
The esteemed actor was honoured with the Spotlight Award for his role in Marty Supreme.
Although she skipped the red carpet, Kylie still made a major fashion statement inside the event.
The beauty icon wore a custom Ludovic de Saint Sernin creation – a shimmering, dark orange column dress covered in copper sequins.
The body-skimming design featured a plunging neckline and unique halter straps that criss-crossed at the collarbone.
She paired the look with a matching chrome orange manicure and wore her hair in signature voluminous waves, swept elegantly to one side.
One admirer penned: “Orange is the new love colour.”
“This glam is something else,” confirmed a second.
“You always know exactly how to own a moment,” praised a third.
However, the dramatic look divided fans. One commented: “Kylie used to be one of the best dressed in the family and ever since she got with Timothée her fashion sense has been on a steep decline.”
A second agreed: “She wants her boobs to be the focal point of every outfit. It’s a shame because I agree she could pull off some really gorgeous looks. I’m not saying it’s bad to show cleavage but she doesn’t dress accordingly for the events.”
“All that money but always manages to look like an airhead wearing a prom dress off SHEIN,” noted one unimpressed user.
However, Chalamet appeared not to mention his girlfriend while accepting his award at the prestigious awards bash.

Dad-of-one Bret shared a positive Christmas Day picture where he tragically looked ahead to 2026 and said “hope to see you all soon”.
On Saturday, his partner Stephen Hanna confirmed the sad news that Bret had peacefully passed away.
Stephen said: “It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that early this morning we said goodbye to the most amazing man, husband and Papa in the universe.
“Bret Hanna-Shuford left this world peacefully with love surrounded by his family.
“Our hearts are broken but we will continue to make him proud of us.”
He leaves behind his young three-year-old son, Maverick.
The actor, who had roles in the Wolf of Wall Street, Little Mermaid and Wicked, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer over the summer.
Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and T-Cell Lymphoma – both rare disorders – left Bret in and out of hospital in his final months.
Both cancers attack the body’s immune system with T-Cell Lymphoma being among the deadliest forms of the disease.
Bret and Stephen were best known for their ever-growing social media page which detailed their family life.
Broadway Husbands managed to amass over 255,000 followers at the time of Bret’s death.
The account would go on to update followers on Bret’s health in recent months.
In October, he revealed he spent three days unconscious in the ICU due to the disease attacking his immune system.
His illness also forced Bret to step away from his graduate studies at the University of Central Florida.
The couple had only just moved into their new home in Orlando at the time.
A GoFundMe was launched for the Broadway star in August.
As of Saturday evening, the page has raised over $315,000 of its $350,000 fundraising goal.
One of the final posts on the fundraiser from December 12, stated how Bret had been in hospital since Thanksgiving.
A post from a friend read: “As many of you may have noticed, posts have been rather radio silent from both Bret and Stephen.
“These past few weeks have been some of the toughest that they have faced in this cancer journey. Bret has been in the hospital since just before Thanksgiving.”
But Bret was believed to have been improving health wise.
“As of today, Bret is looking and feeling better. His liver enzymes have plateaued, which is good, and he is back in the right direction with his oxygen,” the post continued.
Bret had many small-screen film and TV credits, including a 2018 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and a 2023 appearance on the cop drama series FBI: Most Wanted.
He also directed an episode of the Emmy Award-winning Hulu series Only Murders in the Building in 2023, according to his IMDb page.
Bret is also known for his acting and producing work on Disney Royals, Disney Animazent Trio IRL, and In Rehearsal with… Stranger Things the Musical.
He and Stephen, who works at Walt Disney World, tied the knot in April 2011.

It is understood that the couple met through Mason’s pal Ben Harris who is engaged to Jordan’s sister Jodie.
A source said: “Mason and Jordan have been friends for a long time after being introduced through Ben.
“Family is important to Mason so having Jordan on the Lapland trip meant a lot.
“Mason’s performance on the pitch has also improved so it looks like Jordan is a keeper.”
Mason shared a snap of himself with his arm around Jordan at Lapland with his 5.6million followers last month.
The footie ace also posted a glimpse of two red stockings under his Christmas tree, embroidered with an M for Mason and J for Jordan. His brother Lewis also shared a picture of their family to his 16,600 Instagram followers.
Mason was pictured next to Jordan and with his arm around his dad Tony.
The pair were first linked in February 2024 when they were both pictured with a group of friends at the v.
Mason and Jordan also joined Ben and Jodie on their trip to Ibiza in July.
Jordan is Head of Experiences for London-based event planning service, GP Management, and grew up in South East London.
Mason had previously stated that football was his number one priority over finding loveCredit: Getty
Asked about his relationship status, he said: “Football is my priority.”
It sounds like Jordan is his new No1.
Tim’s scored Ad
MOVIE star Timothee Chamalet is a huge football fan, supporting both Chelsea FC and French club AS Saint-Etienne – and now I can reveal he has been signed up by sports giant Adidas to film a huge World Cup ad.
The actor, who is dating Kylie Jenner, shot a top-secret campaign last month in Barcelona alongside Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, ex of Kylie’s sister Kendall, and British Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.
A source tells me: “Adidas bosses were chuffed to bring Timothee on to the ad and paid a lucrative fee.
“It is believed the film will drop during the lead-up to the World Cup.”
Timothee has recently been on an epic press tour for his latest flick Marty Supreme, while mostly donning movie merch.
He’ll have to mix that up once the ad drops.
Jossa is strong for family
JACQUELINE JOSSA is determined to start 2026 in strong spirits, despite a probe into online death threats against her.

But Jac who shares two daughters with husband Dan Osborne, is focusing her energy on her family and work.
A source said: “She trusts the police to investigate. She is not changing her routine and she is still fulfilling her commitments with family and work.
“She is very calm and content in the knowledge the police are dealing with it.”
Jacqueline posted Instagram snaps with the children and Dan in London’s Covent Garden last month.
She wrote: “I love this time of year so much. I love the age the kids are now. They are older but the magic is still here, it’s just different.”
It comes as the actress, who plays Lauren Branning in Albert Square, feared for her character when the soap’s top boss called her in for a meeting last year.
Of the flash-forward episode that aired on New Year’s Day, she said: “It’s always scary when you get called up to a meeting.
It’s either, ‘You’re going to be thrown off the roof of the Vic’ or it’s just a catch-up.”
Leo’s worry
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO says the film industry is “changing at lightning speed”.
The Hollywood star has bemoaned documentaries vanishing from cinemas and the fact viewers prefer to watch on streaming services.
In The Times’ Culture Mag, he added: “Do people still have the appetite?
“Or will cinemas become silos, like jazz bars?”
Tina will Corrie on

CORRIE star Tina O’Brien has signed a new contract keeping her on the cobbles for another year.
The star, who began playing Sarah Platt in 1999, had a tough 2025, splitting from her husband Adam Crofts – father of her son Beau – after seven years of marriage.
Tina who also has daughter Scarlett with her former co-star Ryan Thomas, then revealed in November her beloved dad Steven had died.
A Corrie source said: “Tina had a very difficult 2025, so bosses wanted to reassure her there was nothing to worry about where her job was concerned. She put pen to paper just before the Christmas break.
“Obviously, there have been a lot of changes over the last few months and the last thing they wanted was for her to worry about her role on Corrie.
“She is very much adored on set and her character has got some big things coming up this year.”
Hopefully, 2026 is off to a better start . . .

Thank you!
Sadie stunned while clapping back at trolls on InstagramThe sassy star made haters feel dumb for calling her namesFans loved the way she handled the hate
So she snipped out one of the nasty comments and posted a simple yet effective response – immediately shutting the troll down.
Sadie Bass got dolled up in a gorgeous forest green bodycon dress with a plunging neckline.
The darts at the waists cinched in her fabulous figure, while she confidently smiled her red lips towards the camera.
She finished the look off by curling her hair into a vintage-esque wave that flowed freely down her shoulders.
“is this body CHUBBY or curvey… am confused,” said the rude comment Sadie pasted next to the clip of her in the stunning down.
But Sadie clapped back: “This body is *HOT I hope that clears up any confusion x” while mouthing along to Michael Jackson‘s Dirty Diana, flaunting her beauty.
As Sadie flipped her hair and modelled the dress to perfection during the clip, her fans couldn’t get enough.
“Damn straight,” said one user in the post’s comments on Instagram.
A second added: “Always sexy and beautiful xxx.”
A third empathised with Sadie’s feelings about women being labelled: “Beautiful!
“I had an ex who called me chunky and I was upset at the fact he even had to put a label on it.”
Captioned, “People’s obsession with categorising women’s body types is BORING. can we leave it in 2025 pls???”, fans adored Sadie’s striking between sass and profound messaging.
Sadie appeared on season two of the Channel 4 reality show Love Triangle.
It’s where she met her partner Danny, who she moved in with in the middle of last year.
Love Triangle sees six singletons (the pickers) who text two potential lovers and then have to pick one for a blind date.
Viewers watch contestants meet for the first time after exchanging flirty texts, before moving in together and learning more about one another.
Some of the couples on the show were introduced to a third person (Sadie, in Danny’s case).
At the end of the series the picker has to choose who they want to be with out of the love triangle.

The post, which included images of Vick in a birthing pool, had snaps of her placenta with capsules, suggesting they had it encapsulated – an increasingly popular trend.
He wrote in the caption: “20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!
“My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful.
“We love you so much Micah.”
Vick previously posted a series of summer highlights on Instagram and looked radiant as she cradled the couple’s son at the couple’s sprawling Spanish residence.

Sharing her New Year’s post, she captioned it: “I rarely show pics of my children as you know, but I’m sitting here at the beginning of 2026 and thinking of the extreme joy to come this year, and just how bloody lucky I am because not only do we love the other but we really like each other too.”
Carol went on to reveal what her children have been up to, before telling her followers what Katie does as her career.
She continued: “Katie @katie.science has Space Pharma company called Bio Orbit and their big rocket launch this Summer which is VERY exciting. She’s winning European and global awards too.
“And Cam and I muddle along so happily at home in Bristol. He’s doing brilliantly too but in a completely different sphere of work to Katie.
“This year has brought our big extended family even closer on holidays and all sorts and to have the family and friends I have is beyond anything I could have ever wished for my younger self all those decades ago.
“Stuff of my dreams xxx. Anyway I’m here planning parties and holidays and a LOT of fun… with some cracking work too xx,” the ITV star signed off.

Katie and Cameron are Carol’s children with former husband Patrick King, a professional cricketer whom she married in 1990 and divorced in 2000.
She revealed the diagnosis while commenting on Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor’s Instagram post.
Carol wrote: “Morning Sally. I’ve done the same this year with a full body MRI and all clear thankfully.
“Having the special blood test for 70 cancers this week. Early detection where possible is now my mantra. The costs have come down dramatically for these services but they are sadly still a lot for most people.”
She then added: “I was struck with sudden and chronically debilitating rheumatoid arthritis almost a year ago and it’s taken a long time to get the meds right, so I no longer take my health for granted in any way xx
“Sending huge love and thanks 🙏🏼 to you for spreading the word and your honesty in all these matters. It helps no end of us mere mortals.”

Celebrity makeup artist Jasen Kaplan has diedKelly Osbourne shares a touching tributeKaplan doing Osbourne’s makeup
NYPD said they were investigating the death of a man at Kaplan’s apartment building.
The chief medical examiner is still yet to determine the cause of death.
Kaplan, 46, has been remembered by his long-time friend Kelly Osbourne.
“I’m devastated. I love you so much,” Osbourne, 41, wrote on Instagram.
“Thank you for all the love, laughter and joy you brought [to] my life. I hope you are at peace now.
“Life will never be the same without you! RIP my dear friend.”
Osbourne recalled her friend to be the funniest person she knew.
“You were the best wing man a girl could ask for. 25 years of friendship and every second was worth it,” she wrote.
Kaplan made a name for himself when he started working with Brittny and Lisa Gastineau on their 2005 show “Gastineau Girls.”
He went on to become the go-to makeup artist for many celebrities, including Cyndi Lauper, Eva Longoria and Lynda Carter.
He did The Real Housewives of New York CityalumTinsley Mortimer’s makeup for her wedding to Robert Bovard in 2023.
More recently, Kaplan had the chance to work with Bethenny Frankel on numerous campaigns with brands like MCoBeauty and Terez clothing.
He had a strong social media presence, with over 95.4K followers on Instagram, sharing makeup tips and his work wit celebrity clients and brands.
He was the “father” to his beloved dog Coco, understood to be the “love of his life” and featured heavily on his social media.
Kaplan was a contestant on “Finding Prince Charming” , a gay bachelor-style dating show which aired in 2016.
His bio for the show read: “He has a great sense of humor but isn’t afraid to say what’s on his mind. He’s bright, exuberant and completely comfortable with himself.
“Although he is a total flirt and loves dating apps, he’ll only take a relationship to the next level if he really feels like he’s in love.”
A TEEN Mom favorite has shown off her drastic weight loss for the new year, and she looks like a completely different person.

Briana DeJesus‘ best friend Shae Kogut, 35, took to Instagram to cover her health journey over the course of 2025.
She said in 2024, she began suffering “gallbladder attacks,” and scheduled a surgery to get the organ removed.
“That’s where my health journey really began. My entire eating habits have changed,” Shae wrote.
“I learned what my body needed for fuel, I learned that protein is my best friend, I also learned that drinking water isn’t so bad.
“Before this heath journey started, I was drinking weekly, I was in taking so much sugar, my energy crashes were so bad to a point I couldn’t even function without daily naps.”
PAINFUL SURGERIES
In August 2025, the Teen Mom pal suffered “bloating and pain” in her stomach area, and discovered she needed to get cysts removed from her ovaries.
“Since my recovery, I’m able to do so much more physically than ever before because I don’t have the pain anymore!” she said.
“Truly thankful for this year, it taught me resilience, perseverance, and believing in myself again!
“I only share my life on here because I know others may be going through similar things! 2026 is going to be a ‘Me year.’
“Toning my body, being the best version of myself all around and I’m really excited to see what this year brings!”
She currently works as an Orlando-based influencer and Salty Honey brand ambassador.

Stormzy has been through a difficult yearCredit: GettyHe bruised his cornea and had to attend the BRIT Awards wearing sunglassesCredit: GettyStormzy shared a lengthy end-of-year post to InstagramCredit: Instagram
But now over 10 years on, he’s reflecting on what a tough year he had, and how since the end of 2024 he’s felt like he’s been “dying a slow death”.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Stormzy shared a statement about how it feels to gradually lose your sense of childhood wonder to reality and its twists and turns.
“Ok, I’m ready,” the star began before launching into a poetic statement.
“There’s poetry in all this chaos so lemme embrace it.
“Towards the end of 2024, my life took a few unexpected twists and turns and I was forced to pivot.
“These same events also robbed me of the wide-eyed innocence I once navigated the world with.
“Kinda like how you used to believe that Disneyland was powered by rainbows and fairy dust, and then one day you see a headless Mickey Mouse arguing on the phone and smoking a cigarette.
“This made me more resilient and put the final nail in the coffin of my desire to be understood – a part of me that, tbf, was already dying a slow death.”
The lengthy post continued on for eleven images in a carousel, detailing how Stormzy just wanted to get things “off [his]chest before [he] enters the New Year”.
He also shared how he is “eternally grateful” to the people in his life, whether they still work together or not.
He tied the statement off with the same words he scrawled at the start: “Ok, I’m ready.”
Stormzy opted to turn comments off on the simple text post, captioned with a repeat of “Ok, I’m ready.”
These same three words are the only ones in colour among the black and white statement, standing out in red.
It’s unclear exactly what “events” Stormzy is referring to when discussing the difficulty of 2025, but a couple of notable things happened to the star that did become public.
Back in March at the BRIT Awards, he took to the stage wearing a pair of sunglasses to scoop up an award for best British Hop Hop/Grime/Rap Act.
Clarifying to a confused audience why he was wearing shades inside the venue, he explained he had “bruised his cornea” during a game of padel.
“Sorry I’m wearing shade as well because I’ve mashed up my eye playingpadel.
“I’ve got a very sore eye. I’ve got a bruised cornea.
“My eye’s sore under here, I’m not being a mad man with shades on inside.”
Then later on in the year in November, Stormzy shared a devastated post to Instagram sharing that the Rottweiler he owned with ex Maya Jamasadly passed away.
He said: “RIP my no.1 boy. Don’t have much to say, just gutted and heartbroken. I love you so so so much my boy.
“If you know me then you know how much Enzo meant to me, gonna miss you my guy.”
