Drew Barrymore had a musical response after her former co-star Hugh Grant said her singing voice was “horrendous”.
The two stars previously shared the screen in the romantic comedy Music And Lyrics, in which Drew portrayed an aspiring songwriter and Hugh played a washed-up 80s pop singer.

Over the course of the film, both Drew and Hugh sing multiple times, which the Bridget Jones’s Diary actor recently spoke about during an interview with Wired.
Asked whether it was his own singing voice that we heard in the 2007 film, Hugh explained: “Yes… but I’m auto-tuned beyond belief. Actually, that’s not true, I’m auto-tuned a bit, but not as much as some.”
“Drew Barrymore was in that film with me and I don’t think she’d mind me saying her singing is just horrendous,” he added. “I’ve heard dogs bark better than she sings.”
Responding to Hugh’s comments, Drew shared a video of herself singing the song’s finale number, A Way Back Into Love, which the pair perform as a duet on the film’s soundtrack, into her hairbrush.

“Oh Hugh? Hughbert? That’s for you,” she joked at the end of the clip.
In Hugh’s defence, he did later go on to praise Drew’s performance technique, noting: “once they tuned her up, she sounded way better than me, because she’s got heart and voice and rock ’n’ roll. Whereas I sounded like Julie Andrews, and I was meant to be rock ’n’ roll.”
Music And Lyrics featured original songs by Fountains Of Wayne frontman Adam Schlesinger, who died in 2020 due to Covid complications.

Jason Momoa took a rather inventive approach to helping sell his new clothing line – and it’s gone down very well with fans.
Posting a short clip on his Instagram, the Aquaman star was seen sporting a new t-shirt from his line with So iLL, commenting: “We’ve got all-new shirts in, we’ve got purple, we’ve got pink, we’ve got lavender, we’ve got black.”
“Check it out,” he added as the camera panned down. “It matches the shoes. You know what I’m saying? Looking good.”
At that point, it was revealed that Jason had paired his colourful t-shirt and flip-flops with a traditional Hawaiian malo, laughing to himself as he walked off screen.
The cheeky display got a big reaction from fans in the comments, with one highlighting the clip as an example of “how to break the internet in less than ten seconds”.
“Can instagram tell how many times i watch any particular reel??” one of Jason’s followers questioned, while another agreed: “1.6m views and 1.5m of them were me.”
Another comment read: “Q: How many times did you watch this? Me: Yes.”
Meanwhile, one fan wrote: “This is very smart marketing BRAVO… you got our attention.”
Summing up the mood, another said: “I need Jesus and from the looks of these comments some of y’all do too.”
Jason was born in Hawaii, and previously shared his love of the traditional malo when he stripped down to one during an interview on Jimmy Fallon’s US talk show last year.
“I actually don’t like wearing clothes anymore,” the Fast X star insisted at the time. “I’m in that every day. I wear it all the time.”
It was recently reported that the American actor – known for playing Dillon in the hit HBO series, as well as his roles in Euphoria, Love Victor and You – was in a relationship with Chris, who is known for his work with stars like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez.
The pair have also shared pictures on social media on holiday together in Mexico, and walked the red carpet at the Vanity Fair and TikTok’s Vanities: A Night for Young Hollywood event in Los Angeles earlier this week.
Lukas was asked about their photos in Mexico in an interview with The New York Times, who suggested people believed the snaps to be a “relationship announcement”.
He did not confirm the reports, and said he was still working out the “weird line” of what to keep private.
“If they want to think that, they can,” he said. “I’m a pretty open book about most things in my life, but I have a problem with the culture of everyone needing to know everybody’s business and nothing can be sacred.
“It’s a weird line that I’m still trying to figure out.”
Following the publication of the interview, Chris shared a screenshot of it on his Instagram Story and wrote: “Hot & talented @lukasgage.(sic)”
He also commented on a post of Lukas’ promoting the interview, saying he was “proud” alongside a heart emoji.
The Match Of The Day host criticised the proposed crackdown, appearing to compare it to Nazi Germany in a series of posts on Twitter on Tuesday.

Shortly afterwards, the Telegraph quoted a “BBC source” who said that Gary would be “reminded of his responsibilities on social media” by the corporation, which has strict impartiality rules.
However, Gary remained defiant in his criticism of the government’s plans, and in a tweet on Wednesday, thanked followers for supporting him in doing so.
“I have never known such love and support in my life than I’m getting this morning (England World Cup goals aside, possibly),” he said. “I want to thank each and every one of you. It means a lot.
“I’ll continue to try and speak up for those poor souls that have no voice. Cheers all.”

Gary had originally branded the government’s plans “beyond awful” and “immeasurably cruel”, writing: “There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries.
“This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?”
His comments were condemned by a number of Tory politicians, who urged the BBC to take action.
During Wednesday’s edition of Radio Four’s Today programme, Suella Braverman said of Gary’s remarks: “I’m obviously disappointed that he should attempt to equate our measures with 1930s Germany. I don’t think that’s an appropriate way of framing the debate.”
Meanwhile, a BBC source has told the PA news agency that the corporation is taking the matter “seriously” and expects to have a “frank conversation” with Gary about his tweets.
A spokesperson for the broadcaster said: “The BBC has social media guidance, which is published. Individuals who work for us are aware of their responsibilities relating to social media.

“We have appropriate internal processes in place if required.”
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.
