The Beckhams were out in force in Paris on Friday to support Victoria Beckham as she unveiled her Autumn/Winter collection at Paris Fashion Week.
Husband David sat alongside daughter Harper, 11, and sons Cruz, 18, and Brooklyn, 23, on the front row, the latter of which took along his wife Nicola Peltz as his plus one.
They were joined in the front row by Vogue US editor Dame Anna Wintour and Vogue UK’s Edward Enninful. Other famous faces in the audience included Posh’s best mate Eva Longoria as well as Rosie Huntington Whitely and Jourdan Dunn.
Ahead of the show, the 48-year-old former Spice Girl said the collection was inspired by the film Grey Gardens.
“I love the rich colour palette and how eccentric, eclectic and timeless the styling is,” she said.
“I think so many people will have referenced the movie over the years because it is exactly that – an iconic movie.”
The promotional material for the autumn/winter collection starred Drew Barrymore, who played a leading role in the 2009 film adaptation of the 1975 documentary following two eccentric relations of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Big names in the modelling world walked the runway, including Irina Shayk and Adut Akech.
Following the show, Beckham posted a picture of herself backstage with her family to Instagram, writing: “I couldn’t do it without you, I love you all so much x #harperseven @davidbeckham @cruzbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham. Kisses from Paris (we miss you @romeobeckham!).”
Victoria founded her eponymous fashion label in 2008 and currently the brand is carried in 250 stores across 52 countries.
In 2019, the fashion house launched an accompanying make-up brand, Victoria Beckham Beauty.
The family of actor Jansen Panettiere is speaking out one week after his sudden death.
In a statement issued to Good Morning America and other outlets on Monday, Jansen’s loved ones – including sister and fellow actor Hayden Panettiere – confirmed that the 28-year-old had died of “cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), coupled with aortic valve complications,” citing a medical examiner’s report.
“Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes, and his charm in his brilliant, engaging smile; his soul in his masterful and revealing paintings, and the joy of life in his dry wit,” the statement, which was attributed to Hayden as well as Jansen’s father Skip and mother Lesley Vogel, read. “His charisma, warmth, compassion for others, and his creative spirit will live forever in our hearts and in the hearts of all whom he encountered.”

After thanking fans for their “outpouring of love and support,” the family requested their privacy as they mourned, before adding: “We love you so much Jansen and you will be in our hearts forever.”

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, cardiomegaly can be caused by heart damage and other types of heart disease. Over time, an enlarged heart may not pump blood effectively, leading to congestive heart failure.
Jansen, who was based in New York at the time of his death, made his screen acting debut in a 2002 episode of Even Stevens, and two years later, appeared with his sister in the Disney Channel movie Tiger Cruise. Other credits include the 2010 feature film The Perfect Game and a 2019 episode of The Walking Dead, as well as an array of voiceover work.

He was also a visual artist, and showcased a selection of abstract paintings on his Instagram.
“I paint my problems. It gives me a sense of ultimate purpose,” Jansen wrote in a 2019 Medium blog. “In a world hypnotised by vanity fuelled with comparison, art is my escape.”

Pink has delved deeper into her somewhat complicated history with Christina Aguilera, claiming the Genie In A Bottle singer wanted to get into a fight on the set of their Lady Marmalade video… over a chair.
She then said fellow Lady Marmalade collaborators Lil’ Kim and Mýa “were nice”, pointedly leaving out Christina.
Pink has since been asked about her comments during an appearance on HBO Max’s Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace?.
The host said that based on the video, Pink would’ve “kicked [Christina’s] ass,” to which she replied: “Well, Maybe.”

She continued: “Our personalities just didn’t…not everyone is supposed to like each other and that’s ok. Back then, our personalities did not mix at all and that was ok. We hugged it out and kissed it out and we have many times since.
“The shade — where people get it twisted with me is that if you ask me a question I’m going to answer it honestly,” Pink said.
“I’m going to tell you my experience of how it happened. That’s not shade, that’s just honesty. I should know better by now that total honesty doesn’t work in this world. People want to hear nice things and want you to clean it all up for them and that’s just not my way.”

The presenter then asked if Christina really wanted to fight with Pink on the Lady Marmalade set.
“She did,” the So What singer replied. “She was upset that I was sitting in her chair and was going to shut down the entire production. I didn’t know I was sitting in her chair.

“And also, I was homeless at 15. You can’t talk to me any kind of way. You picked the wrong one. But that’s over,” she continued.
“It’s an interesting story, but it probably happens every day in every workplace. Some people just don’t get along, and then they figure it out and they realise what’s important, and they hug it out and move on.”

HuffPost UK has contacted a representative for Christina Aguilera for comment, and is awaiting a response.
The pair’s feud dates back many years, with Pink previously claiming tensions first began when Christina’s manager started trying to call the shots during a meeting about who would sing which parts.

Reports later claimed that Pink was unhappy when her collaborator, Linda Perry, started working with Christina, even allowing her to record a track the songwriter had penned, Beautiful, that the Missundaztood star initially had her eye on.
Pink later claimed that things had even turned physical between them, telling Watch What Happens Live in 2017 that Christina “swung on me in a club”, recalling the incident as “hilarious”.
Christina subsequently said she wouldn’t “swing on” Pink joking: “She could beat my ass! Are you kidding me?”.
In 2016, the pair appeared to have put their beef behind them when the former appeared as a guest mentor to help the latter on The Voice.
Pink later tweeted that she and her one-time rival had “made amends”.
Last week, Pink responded to a now-deleted tweet about her Buzzfeed UK interview, writing: “Y’all are nuts. Xtina had shit to do with who was on that song.

“If you don’t know by now – I’m not ‘shading’ someone by telling it over and over and over what actually happened.
“I’m zero percent interested in your fucking drama. If you haven’t noticed, I’m a little busy selling… and by selling, I mean tickets and albums and bake sales and shit.
“Also – I kissed XTina’s mouth. I don’t need to kiss her ass.”
Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman said he thinks he did damage to his voice while playing the mutant Marvel character.
The X-Men star, who has played Logan/Wolverine in several films since 2000, told BBC Radio 4′s Front Row this week that he believes the role did a number on his voice.

“I’ve done some damage to my voice with Wolverine, my falsetto is not as strong as it used to be and that I directly put down to some of the growling and yelling,” Hugh said.
“My voice teacher in drama school would’ve been horrified by some of the things I did.”
The Greatest Showman actor added that he learned a technique on how to shout and yell in school without “ruining your voice” but, as Wolverine, he said he did damage to how he sounds.
“During Wolverine, I did some screaming and yelling and things that I think did damage my voice, which I think I’m working on,” Hugh said.
“I work with a singing teacher, and I make sure that I try not to hurt myself. And I really put a lot of effort into both physical movement, and my vocal preparation for every role.”
“I’ve learned you can’t rush it. I’ve learned that it takes time,” he said.
“So we have six months from when I finish [‘The Music Man’ on Broadway] to when I start filming and I’m not doing any other work, I’m going to be with my family and train. That’s going to be my job for six months.”
Hugh, during his interview on Front Row, teased that his movie with Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds will be “very different” from what fans have seen from Wolverine in the past.
He added that he’ll be shooting the movie, which is set for a 2024 release, this summer.
Paul Mescal has shared his “fury” after being groped in the street by a fan.
The Normal People actor is currently starring in a London production of A Streetcar Named Desire, and told the Evening Standard that he had been stopped outside the theatre by a woman asking to take his photo.
“As we posed for it, she put her hand on my ass,” he recalled.
Initially presuming that “it was an accident”, he tried to move away, continuing: “But the hand followed. I remember tensing up and feeling just, like, fury.

“I turned to her and said, “What’re you doing? Take your hand off my ass’.
“The last thing I want to do is call somebody out in front of the theatre — it’s uncomfortable for everyone involved — but it was really not okay. It was so gross, creepy.”
During an interview last year, Paul recalled a similar “fucking rude” incident when a stranger in a bar shared to him she had a screengrab of one of his nude scenes from Normal People as her phone wallpaper.

“I didn’t think the show was any good but I saw your willy and I have a photo!” Paul claimed the stranger said to him.

He said: “I remember that was the first time that I was really angry. I was like, ‘That’s fucking rude!’ It’s embarrassing for you, it’s embarrassing for me, it’s embarrassing for my friends.”
Reflecting on attention from the public in his Standard interview, Paul said: “When Normal People came out, the attention was a bit affronting. It was like, ‘This is fucking crazy’. Now I’m a bit more comfortable with it.
“I realised, like, this can consume me and I can be pissed off with every person who has a naked picture of me stashed somewhere or I can just let it go. It’s the internet.
“The internet is this evil fucking entity and it has so much power but it’s an exhausting hill to try and die on because you’re not going to win.”
He also pointed out that he doesn’t have it as bad as his female peers, adding: “Women have been objectified by men throughout history — and still are.”
He’s in the running against fellow Irish actor Colin Farrell – who he told the Standard he is rooting for – as well as Austin Butler, Bill Nighy and Brendan Fraser.
News anchor Dan Walker has said he feels “glad to be alive” after being involved in a road accident that saw him being knocked off his bike by a motorist.
Dan – best known for his work on BBC Breakfast and, more recently, Channel 5 News – tweeted grisly photos of himself on Monday morning, which showed him in the back of an ambulance with a swollen and bloodied face.

“Bit of an accident this morning,” the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant explained. “Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike.”
He insisted that while his face was in “a mess”, this appeared to be the extent of his injuries, and he “[doesn’t] think anything is broken.”
Bit of an accident this morning. Glad to be alive after getting hit by a car on my bike. Face is a mess but I don’t think anything is broken. Thanks to Shaun and Jamie for sorting me out and the lovely copper at the scene. This is my smiling 😂 Thankful for our NHS ❤️ pic.twitter.com/jt4FdaQDUU
Referring to the paramedics in one of his selfies, he continued: “Thanks to Shaun and Jamie for sorting me out and the lovely copper at the scene.”

Dan also joked that the pictures included his attempts at a smile, and voiced his gratitude for the NHS.
Until last year, Dan was known for his six-year stint at the helm of the BBC’s flagship breakfast show, as well as his contributions to the sports show Football Focus.
After leaving Football Focus in 2021, he went on to appear on that year’s series of Strictly, making it all the way to the quarter-finals alongside professional partner Nadiya Bychkova.
The Metropolitan Police have apologised to Caroline Flack’s family for not keeping a record about why they charged her with assault.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had recommended the former Love Island presenter receive a caution following an incident with her boyfriend Lewis Burton.
However, this was overturned after an appeal from the Met Police who instead charged her with assault by beating.
A coroner later ruled she took her own life after learning that prosecutors were going to press ahead with an assault charge.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said the force was ordered to apologise to Caroline’s family following a review by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) which found there was not a “record of rationale” to appeal against the CPS decision.
He said: “We have done so and acknowledged the impact that this has had on them.
“Our thoughts and sympathies remain with Ms Flack’s family for their loss.”
After an initial investigation by the Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS) found there was no misconduct, Caroline’s family escalated their concerns to the IOPC, which ordered the Met to reinvestigate complaints relating to the process involved in appealing against the CPS decision.

A spokesman said: “That investigation by the DPS concluded in May 2022 and found that the service provided was acceptable.
“The (Met) identified some learning around using IT systems to record appeal decisions and the use of decision models for cautions, which are being implemented.”
In June last year, Caroline’s family appealed the outcome of the DBS investigation to the IOPC, who carried out a review which did not identify any misconduct but concluded that an officer should receive “reflective practice”.
The spokesman added: “This was about the requirement to review all case material and record a balanced rationale, demonstrating objective decision-making by exploring aggravating and mitigating factors, when appealing a CPS decision.”
The force await recommendations from the IOPC for “organisational learning”, a spokesman confirmed.
Christine Flack, the mother of Caroline, has been contacted for comment.
Well, she’s gifted us a moment that has surpassed that at this year’s Super Bowl.
The Someone Like You was in attendance at Sunday’s game in Arizona, and the camera once again caught her serving up an absolute moment.
Wearing a stunning grey blazer, hooped earrings and a camp pair of oversized sunglasses, Adele was seen appearing to tell the men stood either side of her to zip it.
Cameras caught the moment as she waved her hands and gestured to her companions to be quiet, before smacking her lips and staring straight ahead with a full, unbothered pout.
Naturally, the internet had a lot of fun with the clip…
The highly-choreographed performance saw her take fans through some of her biggest hits including Bitch Better Have My Money, Only Girl (In The World), Work and Umbrella in a 12-minute set.
Susanna Reid has defended Madonna after the star spoke out against misogynistic and ageist comments about her appearance.
The Good Morning Britain presenter said the Like A Prayer singer should “feel proud of herself”, while criticising those who have been passing comment on Madonna since she popped up at the Grammys over the weekend.

Discussing a recent Instagram post, in which Madonna said she was once again “caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in”, on the ITV breakfast show, Susanna said: “She’s 64 years old and I think she is damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. If she aged naturally people would still be focused and obsessed with her appearance.
“People are going to be obsessed with how Madonna appears and she thinks it is an example of misogyny, ageism and she also blames the long lens of the camera which took her photo.”

She continued: “Frankly, do you know what? I think she should just look however she wants to look and there we go and there you have it.

“She should feel proud of herself whatever she does.”
The Queen of Pop appeared on stage at Sunday’s Grammys to introduce Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ performance of their hit collaboration, Unholy, during which she paid tribute to her fellow “troublemakers and rebels”.
It prompted scrutiny and speculation on social media and in the press, with some questioning if the 64-year-old had undergone cosmetic surgery.
Responding to the criticism on Instagram, Madonna said: “Many people chose to only talk about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone’s face.
“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. A world that refuses to celebrate women pass [sic] the age of 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working, and adventurous.
“I have never apologised for any of the creative choices I have made nor the way that I look or dress and I’m not going to start.”

Madonna pointed out that she’s been “degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.”
She concluded: “I look forward to many more years of subversive behaviour – pushing boundaries – Standing up to the patriarchy – and Most of all enjoying my life.”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV1.

Lewis Capaldi knew what he was letting himself in for when he agreed to hand over his phone to Michael McIntyre as part of his regular Send To All challenge on his BBC show.
The segment sees a celebrity hand over their mobile to Michael who then peruses through their phone before sending an oft-hilarious message to all of their (often famous) contacts and awaits responses.

But that didn’t mean the Scottish star bothered to do a quick audit of the photos in his camera roll ahead of his appearance on Saturday night’s episode of Michael McIntyre’s Big Show.
The Someone You Loved singer showed what a good sport he was when the host started scrolling through his snaps only to reveal several of Lewis in his pants.
Cue gasps from the audience at London’s Drury Lane Theatre and Lewis joking: “I’m smuggling quite a few budgies there!”

When Michael asked why the singer was taking the selfies, he replied: “Ah, for personal use.”
Lewis Capaldi on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show
Another picture showed Lewis lying down on a bed holding a trophy from the Official Charts Company, which left the audience and viewers at home in hysterics…
Lewis Capaldi on Michael McIntyre’s show rn is absolutely killing me. Easily one of the funniest people in the music industry. What a man.
But as Rylan relinquished his phone, he soon realised there was an app he’d forgotten to delete prior to it being the focus of a feature on national TV.
He was seen holding his head in his hands laughing as he realised Hinge was still active, and it didn’t take Michael long to delve into his profile.
Throwing it up on the big screen, viewers saw a variety of Rylan’s pictures and answers to various prompts.
“You know when you join these things… because I am a single man know, so I thought I’d get with the programme and do what everyone else does and try this out,” he explained. “But it says you have to add a certain amount of photos.

“I’ve not updated my photos since I’ve done that, ‘Oh that one will do, that one will do,’” he insisted.
Rylan’s profile also revealed his unusual skill is that he can “roll his tongue in three places” and the way to win him over is by “being decent”.
