The museum this month dressed their likeness of the singer in a Christmas outfit, but it wasn’t the seasonal attire that got every’s attention. It was the statue’s poor resemblance to the nine-time Grammy winner.
The fan response on Twitter also declared the exhibit to be in a hopeless place.
“That wax figure of Rihanna is a hate crime,” one person tweeted.
Rylan Clark has revealed he isn’t quite ready to say goodbye to his old teeth just yet, despite having his famous veneers removed last month.
Now speaking to the MailOnline, Rylan said he’s still in possession of the veneers, and has some ideas about what to do with them next.
“I’ve still got them, they’re in a bag somewhere, I’m gonna get them framed,” he revealed.
“The new ones are a hell of a lot smaller, I couldn’t fit the last ones on a plane to the Pacific so I thought I’d make them a lot more natural.
“If I didn’t have the veneers, I would look like a gummy t**t so they’re staying.”
He added: “I do feel the older I get, the more comfortable I get with how I look and slow stuff down, hence the change of teeth and things like that.”
Rylan has previously stated that his veneers actually helped his career in the early days as they distracted viewers from his presenting ability.
He told Notebook in 2017: “I got my veneers finished the day before I started hosting Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, my first presenting job.
Jeremy Clarkson has sliced off “half of his thumb” in a gruesome kitchen accident.
The former Top Gear presenter got a lot more than he bargained for when he was using was making chilli-flavoured crisps with girlfriend Lisa Hogan for his Diddly Squat Farm.

He had been using a mandolin slicer to cut up the potatoes, but ended up slicing off part of his thumb whilst doing so.
In his latest column in The Sunday Times, Jeremy wrote: “You slide the potato along it and the razor-sharp blade takes a slice off the bottom. Then you slide it again and it takes another. And you keep doing this, with much vigour, until eventually your thumb is in the firing line and it take a slice off that. A big slice. A crisp-sized slice.

“Lisa noticed that under the mandolin, among the slices of potato, there was a piece of meat.
“It was like a miniature pork chop, about 2cm long, 1cm wide and 3mm thick. And, yes, it was half my thumb.”

Jeremy explained how Lisa gasped and dropped the piece of his thumb on the floor, before trying to reattach it.
However, Jeremy ended up in further agony as Lisa has been handing Carolina reaper chillies and hadn’t washed her hands before handling the wound.
He added: “Now, you may know that a chilli that scores a record 2.2 million on the Scoville scale can cause a fair bit of irritation when taken orally, but this is nothing compared with what it does when it’s applied to an open wound, along with a dash of salt for extra agony. You may have heard the scream from where you were. Even if you were in Stuttgart.”
After calling a local doctor to asses him, Jeremy was warned he could lose the use of his thumb.

Jeremy said: “Since the opposable thumb is all that separates us from goats, I decided I’d better do as I was told.”
Detailing the problems the injury is causing him, he added: “I can’t do up button-flied trousers. I can’t open a door. I can’t sign my name and I can’t even wipe my bottom.”
Rod Stewart and his son have pleaded guilty to battery in an assault case stemming from an altercation with a security guard at an exclusive Florida hotel on New Year’s Eve 2019.
Court records released on Friday show the singer and his 41-year-old son Sean Stewart entered guilty pleas to misdemeanour charges of simple battery.

“No one was injured in the incident and a jury did not find Sir Rod Stewart guilty of the accusation,” his lawyer Guy Fronstin said in a statement.
“Instead, Sir Rod Stewart decided to enter a plea to avoid the inconvenience and unnecessary burden on the court and the public that a high-profile proceeding would cause.”

The 76-year-old musician is a member of the US Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was knighted by the Queen in 2016.
His hits include Da Ya Think I’m Sexy, You’re In My Heart, Hot Legs and Maggie May.

The plea agreement, dated and signed on Monday, means Rod and his son will not have to appear in court and formal adjudication of the charge was withheld. There will be no trial.
Neither will do any jail time or be required to pay fines and they will not be placed on probation, Mr Fronstin said.

The Stewarts were accused of a physical altercation with security guard Jessie Dixon at the Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach on December 31 2019.
The dispute involved Mr Dixon’s refusal to allow them into a private party at the hotel.

He said in court papers that the elder Stewart punched him in the rib cage with a closed fist and Sean shoved him.
A spokesperson for Palm Beach state attorney Dave Aronberg, whose office prosecuted the case, said in an email that Mr Dixon agreed with the outcome of the case.
Katie Price has said she is “incredibly sorry” for her actions after avoiding a prison sentence for drink-driving.
The reality star was handed a 16-week suspended sentence on Wednesday after a car crash near her home earlier this year, which happened when she was banned from driving and did not have insurance.

District Judge Amanda Kelly at Crawley Magistrates’ Court said she was unable to send Katie to prison because she had complied with the requirements of the court, including attending a rehabilitation centre and not committing further offences.
However, she added that Katie did “deserve” to “spend Christmas behind bars”.

Following her court appearance, Katie posted a statement on her Instagram story on Thursday, where she said she was “sincerely grateful nobody was hurt”.
She said: “It’s been a really difficult time and I’m incredibly sorry for my actions – I’m sincerely grateful nobody was hurt – I realise the damage my actions could have caused not only to another family, but to my own as well.

“I’m now spending time getting better — mental health is a hidden illness and can strike at any time.
“The triggers that cause my anxiety and behaviour are something I’m trying to understand, come to terms with, and learn to control moving forward.
“This will be a long process for myself and something I’ll continue to work on for the rest of my life. It’s also something I can work on with my family so we can progress on a new chapter together.”
She added: “Thank you for all the messages of goodwill that I’ve received. I’m going to surround myself with my loving family and friends and continue doing the work I love as it brings me enjoyment and helps my mental health.”

It was previously revealed that police are considering an appeal against the sentence given to Katie.
Superintendent James Collis, head of roads policing for Sussex Police and Surrey Police, said officers are looking at whether it could be subject to appeal.
He said the sentencing, “as the judge explained, could have and should have been much worse and, in our view, Price is extremely lucky not to be spending Christmas behind bars”.
“Given the circumstances and her history of motoring offences, it’s clear she did not consider the risk of her actions to the wider public or the implications for her own family,” he added.
“We are now exploring whether we can appeal this sentence.”
Katie Price has been given a suspended sentence and ordered to undergo 100 hours of community service for drink-driving offences.
Back in September, Katie was charged with driving while unfit to drive through drink, using a motor vehicle on a public place without third party insurance and driving while disqualified after overturning her car in a collision near her home.

A week after the accident, she pleaded guilty to drink-driving while disqualified and without insurance.
The court also heard at the time that the former glamour model and reality star had told police after the crash: “I took drugs, I should not be driving, I admit it all.”

Katie’s sentencing was subsequently adjourned on the condition that she have treatment at the Priory Centre, not commit any further offences, and be banned from driving in the interim.
Appearing in court on Wednesday afternoon, the star was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 12 months. She was also ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid community service.

Her driving ban was also extended for an additional two years.

The district judge told Katie at Crawley Magistrates’ Court: “When you chose to get behind the wheel that night you showed no concern for others. You could have killed somebody.
“Your actions meant the emergency services had to use up their precious time. You knowingly and deliberately flouted a court order and not for the first time.
“You seem to think you are above the law.”

Following Katie’s car accident, her concerned family issued a statement saying: “We have for some time been concerned about Kate’s wellbeing and overall mental health. Today our worst fears nearly came true. As a family, we have been and will continue to help Kate get the help she needs.
“We hope that she will realise that she cannot battle her issues alone.”
They added: “We are concerned and worried about her deeply, we know she lives her life publicly and to many she is fair game, but as a family we hope she can find her path privately moving forward during this very difficult period in her life.
“We are not asking for sympathy – just that it is recognised that Kate is unwell.”
Last month, the former I’m A Celebrity contestant publicly thanked her family – as well as her fiancé Carl Woods – for “always having my back” amid her latest personal struggles.
Tom Holland may have played the superhero in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it was Zendaya who helped her shorter co-star make a tricky landing.
During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show on Friday, the pair explained how their height difference made one stunt in particular more complicated to execute.

“Spider-Man swings us on top of a bridge and he places me there. … So he’s supposed to gently rest MJ [Zendaya] on the bridge and walk away from her,” Zendaya said.
But according to the Euphoria actor, who is taller than Tom, the two were attached together for the stunt and she would land on the ground before he did.

Tom then joked that although he plays the superhero and is “supposed to look cool,” Zendaya would land on the ground first while his feet would swing from underneath him.
“And then she would catch me,” he continued, as the two stood up to demonstrate how the landing played out during filming.

Zendaya said Tom was “lovely” about the whole thing. (See the clip below.)
Outside of discussing their landing techniques for action films, the two remain relatively private about their personal lives ― especially their long-rumored romance.
Tom did discuss their off-screen relationship in a cover story for GQ’s Men of the Year issue last month, saying that fame has robbed them of their privacy.
The actor addressed paparazzi photos published over the summer that showed the pair kissing at a traffic light in Los Angeles.

“A moment that you think is between two people that love each other very much is now a moment that is shared with the entire world,” he said.
But Tom didn’t divulge much further, explaining that it wasn’t his story to tell.
“It’s our story,” he said.
Spider-Man: No Way Home hits cinemas on 17 December.
The Vogue singer made headlines last month with a provocative bedroom photoshoot taken in (and under) her bed.

50 Cent had reshared the snaps, including the one of her under the bed, comparing her to the Wicked Witch of the East from The Wizard of Oz, where Madonna’s legs where photoshopped under a house from film.
He added: “Starz ask me to do a remake, I said only if Madonna is gonna play the role because i need star power and sex appeal in this one.”

In another caption, he wrote: “That’s Madonna under the bed trying to do Like A Virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don’t get her old ass up.”
After his comments caught Madonna’s attention, she issued a scathing response on Instagram.

Posting on her Story, she wrote: “Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend. Now you have decided to talk smack about me!
“I guess your new career is getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media, the least elevated choice you could make as an artist and an adult.
“You’re just jealous she won’t look as good as me or have as much fun when you’re my age! Too bad there are no sour grapes emojis.”
Madonna then posted a video of her with a green alien filter, where she added: “Cheer up, things could be worse, you could be me for instance. Personally, I like the way I look, but there are those that find it hard to appreciate people and things that are different.

“And they try to shame me or humiliate me or make me feel less than because I am not like everyone else.
“But in fact, I cherish my uniqueness and I’ve grown stronger because to be unique is to be rare.”
50 Cent has now issued an apology on Twitter, writing: “I must have hurt Madonna feelings, she went and dug up a old MTV photo from 03. Ok I’m sorry I did not intend to hurt your feelings.
“I don’t benefit from this in anyway I said what I thought when I saw the picture because of where I had seen it before I hope you accept my apology.”
50 Cent’s original posts no longer appear on his Instagram page.
Madonna previously called out Instagram for removing one of the photos from her photoshoot due to the fact that one of her nipples was exposed.
She fumed: “It is still astounding to me that we live in a culture that allows every inch of a woman’s body to be shown except a nipple. As if that is the only part of a woman’s anatomy that could be sexualised. The nipple that nourishes the baby!
“Can’t a mans nipple be experienced as erotic??!! And what about a woman’s ass which is never censored anywhere.”
Louise Redknapp has hit back at claims she is in “despair” at her ex-husband Jamie having a baby with new wife Frida Andersson.
The former Eternal singer was the subject of a story in this week’s Heat magazine which detailed her supposed feelings about Jamie and Frida welcoming their first child together last month.

However, Louise has shot down the reports in a post on Twitter, insisting she is “not in despair or anything like it”, adding that she is in “the most positive of headspaces and loving my life”.
“I try not to read or respond to these things but sometimes they’re unavoidable,” she wrote. “I’d really love to clarify that ‘Louise’ is not in despair or anything like it!!

“I have my two gorgeous boys that I adore more than anything in the world, the best family around me and I’m having the best time of my life in my career and with the most wonderful friends that a girl could hope for.”
“These stories are there to sell magazines but I’d like to make it clear that I’m in the most positive of headspaces and loving my life. Here’s to all the ladies out there that are in control of their lives and living their very best lives.

Addressing the magazine directly, she added: “Come on @heatworld magazine, women are better than this… x.”

Louise split from former footballer Jamie in 2017 after 19 years together.
The former couple are parents to sons Charley, 17, and Beau, 13.
Jamie married Frida in a low-key ceremony in London in October, where they were surrounded by 30 of their closest friends and family.

They were reported to have started dating last year.

The newlyweds announced the arrival of their son Raphael Anders Redknapp in a sweet Instagram post last month.
“We’re so in love, mum is doing so well too,” Jamie said. “We can’t thank the amazing doctors and nurses at the Chelsea and Westminster enough. So excited for him to meet my boys.”
“HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS,” Tucci captioned the Polaroid-style image of the pair that he posted to Instagram.
Tucci also shared a viral video that TikTok star Alexa Shoen first posted in August in which she claims to meditate on the duo’s family connection whenever she’s “stressed out about the weight of the world.”
Tucci is married to literary agent Felicity Blunt, the sister of his Devil Wears Prada costar Emily Blunt. Tucci met Felicity at Emily’s 2010 wedding to Krasinski.
Tucci and Krasinski are “both the American sons-in-law in the Blunt family,” Shoen says in the clip, below. She imagines them wearing paper hats on Boxing Day and shaking hands while carrying side dishes to a Thanksgiving meal.
“It is my deepest meditative practice to just go through this scenario in my head,” she says.
Shoen had a stunned response to Tucci sharing her video, commenting:
“OH MY GOD I CAN’T BREATHE, MY UPDATED MEDITATION NOW INCLUDES THE FACT THAT YOU ALL SIT AROUND ON THANKSGIVING AND *WATCH* THIS TIKTOK. Happy TGives to you and yours, Tucci. It’s an honor to make your acquaintance in this way. Hot damn.”
