The 20-year-old daughter of Blink 182's Travis Barker made the announcement on a TikTok video, which at the time of writing has over 1 million likes. "This is not very role model of me, but I'm going to get on the highest dose of Ozempic," she began. 

Addressing the body shamers, she added: "I'm going to become so skinny you're going to tell me I need a burger, because the way people body shame me is f**king disgusting. I f**king hate you guys and I'm going to get so skinny f***k you. "No a*s no t**s, 2027 bye." Barker's fans rushed to her defence in the comments, with on writing: "If i was rich this is exactly how i would act nbs." Alabama Barker has hit back at body shamers (@mouthfullofbama/TikTok) A second echoed: "No cause this is such a fair response. like yall r so WEIRD." "They're gonna body shame you when you're skinny too ,they're sick," another follower penned. A fourth supporter added: "Ur sooo teaaa theyre just not a girls girl and just hatin they don’t look like you." 

Ozempic is a drug intended to be used by people with type two diabetes to help lower their blood sugar levels, although many have adopted it to aid weight loss. 

In the USA, it is estimated that around 11% of adults take GLP-1 medication for the intention of weight loss, as per Gallup National Health and Well-Being Index.

It's not the first time the step-daughter of Kourtney Kardashian has spoken about medication for weight loss. In 2024, Barker admitted to taking the medication when she was just 18-years-old. 

"I have this thing where I photograph so ugly and people are like, 'Oh my god, you're so fat and you're so ugly'," she said during a 'get ready with me' on TikTok. In the same year, the then 18-year-old was also accused of having cosmetic surgery done to her body, which she denied. “I’ve had no cosmetic work done to my body !!” she wrote over a mirror selfie showcasing her whole body on Instagram. Barker previously admitted to taking 'weight loss medication' in 2024 (Photo by John Nacion/WireImage) “Not saying I never would, but just not in this moment have I had anything done.” Barker is not one to hold back on social media, constantly hitting out at those who send hateful messages towards her, and her family. 

At the end of last year, she took to social media to defend her father for the gift he gave her for Christmas, with many claiming it was 'too intimate,' with some calling it 'gross'. Showing off her gifts during a birthday and Christmas hall, Barker revealed that her father had gifted her a number of items from the lingerie firm Agent Provocateur. 

"Kourtney picked out most of it and then the girl knows me there, so she like gave recommendations of what I liked," Barker said in the video. 

However, after the comments about her father's gift, she hit back, saying: “Hold on, hold on, I have to go on a f**king rant! Why the f**k, why the f**k, are you guys trying to make this lingerie thing a thing - it's never going to be a thing Gretchen!” of course, referencing the iconic Mean Girls. 

Caroline Savage died on October 19, 2024, when she collapsed at home in the early hours of the morning, having been dispatched from hospital earlier in the day. 

An inquest hearing at Norwich Coroner Court heard that the grandmother died of faecal peritonitis, which occurs when faecal matter leaks into the abdominal cavity, after a perforation of part of her intestines. 

Ms Savage, from Wortwell, Norfolk, had been privately prescribed the weight loss jab Mounjaro and had been taking it for four months to help her lose weight and deal with lopoedema symptoms. She had dropped from 20 stone to 18 stone in that time period, and was advised to complete her round of 7.5mg doses, with two remaining, before increasing to 10mg. Caroline Savage died on October 19 2024 (SWNS) However, on October 18, Ms Savage complained about serious pain in her stomach and an ambulance was called at 1:30pm which took her to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. After undergoing blood tests and ultrasound scans, Ms Savage was deemed comfortable enough to be discharged with pain relief at 6:30pm. 

Just after midnight, her husband Jeremy heard a thud and found Ms Savage on the floor. He called an ambulance and attempted CPR, but she died. 

Links to Mounjaro explored in the inquest 

Mounjaro's gastrointestinal side effects were suggested as a 'reasonable working diagnosis' when Ms Savage first went to hospital, but her family has suggested doctors who treated her may have been too quick to link her use of the drug to her symptoms. 

There is no established evidence that says Mounjaro can cause faecal peritonitis. Ms Savage's blood tests ruled out pancreatitis, an illness associated with weight-loss medication, and further assessment from doctors concluded she did not need a CT scan. 

The inquest heard that if someone who already unknowingly has a diverticular disease, impacting the intestines, and takes Mounjaro, it could increase the pressure on the intestines and increase the risk of perforation. Jeremy and Caroline (SWNS) However, barrister Jasmine Leng, representing Ms Savage's family, argued she was discharged without a thorough diagnosis and questioned why she wasn't sent for a CT scan or surgical review before she was allowed to leave the hospital. 

Consultant Dr Hussain Hommad said perforation of the intestines is difficult to predict and that the health care providers acted within the normal limits with the information they had available. 

Barrister Leng submitted that Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights – the right to life – should come into play because of possible systemic failures in communication, documentation and clinical decision-making at the hospital. 

Solicitor Alison Brockhurst, representing the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said the record keeping 'wasn't as good as it could have been' but said Ms Savage's death was from natural causes and the threshold for engaging Article 2 had not been met. 

She added evidence showed that the appropriate care pathways had been followed by clinicians. The coroner adjourned her decision on whether Article 2 should apply as she needed time to consider the submission. 

A mum said her son was left needing a skin graft after sustaining horrific burns after a squishy toy purchased from Lidl 'heated up on a windowsill and exploded'. Avyaan Narula, 12, was playing with the 'NeeDoh cube' during the heatwave on 17 July when the toy 'popped' and sent warm goo from inside spilling onto his foot. 

Shocked mum Aarti Narula, 44, raced into the kitchen after she heard her son 'screaming' and desperately tried to remove the substance from his skin. She then washed the liquid from his foot under cold water, but said an hour later the skin had 'bubbled up'. 

The mum-of-two took Avyaan to the walk-in centre as he began to lose sensation in that area of his limb. He was rushed to the A&E department at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, in Liverpool, where he was diagnosed with full-dermal burns.

Warm goo from inside the cube spilt onto his foot (Kennedy News & Media) The schoolboy underwent a skin graft on July 20, where doctors used the skin from his thigh to replace the damaged skin on his foot. Aarti believes the squishy cube popped because it heated-up after it was left in direct sunlight on the windowsill in her son's bedroom. 

Toy company Schylling Toys, who manufacture NeeDoh toys, have a warning on their website that reads 'Do NOT heat, freeze, or microwave, may cause personal injury'. The supermarket in question, Lidl, said they were sorry to hear what had happened to Avyaan but said that the relevant usage and safety instructions are included on the packaging and the toy is 'fully compliant with all safety standards'. 

Aarti, who is from Southport, explained: "He was in the kitchen and suddenly started screaming. I rushed [to him] and I saw the fluid [from the inside of the cube] had gone onto his foot and onto the floor.

Aarti believes the squishy toy heated up on the windowsill (Kennedy News & Media) "I think it just exploded and popped and the fluid went onto his foot. I originally thought that he was just a bit panicky because of the fluid - I didn't think that it was a burn. In a panic, I washed his foot because there was no way that the fluid would come off - it just got stuck like a blob, it was very thick.

"I put it under the cold water and washed it off and I threw the cube in the bin. The paste wouldn't come off the floor - I had to scrape it off the floor with a knife and use the floor wipes to clean it." 

After initially hoping her son was not significantly harmed, Aarti says the skin on the top of Avyaan's foot started to 'bubble up' and he lost all feeling and sensation in that area before they were told he had dermal burns. 

Aarti said: "We cleaned it and he sat there and didn't complain. An hour later it started to bubble, and two or three hours later it had completely ballooned - and that's when I started to worry. 

"I took him to the walk-in centre and we were more worried because he didn't have any sensation or pain in that area of his foot She said you need to go to A&E - the doctors there were concerned because he had no sensation that it looked like a full dermal burn." 

Avyaan had a skin graft operation which used healthy skin from his thigh to replace the damaged skin on the top of his foot. Aarti explained: "The doctors said he would definitely need a skin graft because there was no blood supply [to the skin in that area of his foot]. The youngster's foot started to 'bubble' (Kennedy News & Media) "They took the skin graft from the thigh of the same leg, which is quite a big patch because they said it was quite deep." Aarti, who works as an operational service manager for the NHS, believes the cube exploded over Avyaan because it had been left in direct sunlight on his windowsill. She said her son had been playing with the toy with no problems after first buying it a number of months before. 

"The only we think is that it was left in his windowsill which gets really hot because it's a sun-facing room," she went on to explain. "It happened out of absolutely nowhere - and at the start of the school holidays as well." 

NeeDoh toys have a warning on their website that reads 'Do NOT heat, freeze, or microwave, may cause personal injury'. Some retail websites sell the NeeDoh toys with the warning: "Do not leave the product in the car or out in direct sunlight." 

But Aarti believes that the cubes are 'dangerous' and shouldn't be sold if there's the possibility they will explode due to the temperature and has issued a warning to parents, adding: "I think it's massively dangerous because this could happen again. They're being sold everywhere. 

"If it's the case that the fluid inside, or the outside of the cube, doesn't tolerate the heat and it can burst or pop then that's definitely dangerous. You can't say that they're okay and safe to use in the cold weather - how do you tell that to the children? Definitely make sure that your children don't go anywhere near this."

The squishy toy is said to have 'exploded' due to heat (Kennedy News & Media) Lidl said that the product packaging includes clear usage and safety instructions advising that the item should not be left in direct sunlight or exposed to high temperatures, as heat can compromise the material integrity. 

In a statement, a Lidl GB spokesperson said: "We are very sorry to hear of this incident and wish Avyaan a full and smooth recovery. The safety and quality of our products is always a priority, and we take any issue of this nature extremely seriously. Relevant usage and safety instructions are included on the packaging of this product and we can confirm it is fully compliant with all safety standards." 

A spokesperson for Schylling, who manufacture NeeDoh, said: "The safety of our consumers, especially children, is Schylling's top priority. 

"NeeDoh products are designed and tested to meet applicable toy safety standards. NeeDoh products are not intended to be microwaved, heated, frozen, or otherwise exposed to extreme temperatures. Use of a NeeDoh product in a manner inconsistent with its instructions and warnings may pose a safety risk. 

"We have also reinforced safety warnings on NeeDoh product packaging and across our e-commerce listings. We encourage parents and caregivers to supervise children during play and to review all product instructions and warnings before use. Consumers with questions about the safe use of NeeDoh products, or who wish to report a concern, are encouraged to contact Schylling customer service at info@schylling.com."

The 33-year-old is currently embarking on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which is set to draw to a close in London next month. On Sunday (2 August), a representative for the Wicked star revealed that once the tour was done and dusted, Grande would be taking a break for an undisclosed period of time. 

“Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour,” the rep told PEOPLE. “She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.” Ariana’s mum Joan has praised the ‘magnificent’ singer ( Kevin Winter/Getty Images) They added: “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.” The announcement was made just days after she released her eighth studio album Petal, and also dropped the music video for her new track of the same name. 

The video, which comes with an 'explicit content' and 'graphic violence' warning, Grande playing a character called Pepper, who goes through a series of gruelling Hollywood auditions and facing rounds of rejections before eventually snapping and brutally butchering the execs. 

The new video renewed the discourse surrounding Grande’s body and health, with Jameela Jamil taking aim at the singer’s team. Now, amid all the ongoing talk, Grande’s mum Joan has shown her support for her famous daughter. 

Commenting on Grande’s latest Instagram post, which has a selection of behind the scenes shots of the Petal music video, Joan wrote: “You are magnificent… and this video is incredible!! “I love it and I love you more!!!” 

Grande has pulled out of a West End show 

Grande was due to appear alongside her Wicked co-star in the West End revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George, which was set to open in the Barbican next summer. However, it’s since been confirmed that Grande will no longer star in the musical. 

Empire Street Productions, which is behind the musical, said in a statement: “Following this evening’s announcement from Ariana Grande’s team, we can confirm that she has decided to step back from Sunday In The Park With George. The Wicked star has announced she’ll be stepping out of the limelight (Monica Schipper/Getty Images) “We know this cannot have been an easy decision, and she makes it with our complete understanding and support. We wish her nothing but the best. The production will open at the Barbican in summer 2027 as planned, and casting will be announced in due course.” 

Grande was just 16 when she shot to fame playing Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon show Victorious and she has been in the public eye ever since. After leaving Nickelodeon, she carved out a very impressive music career, winning three Grammy awards. She then returned to acting playing Glinda the good, in Wicked opposite Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba. 

Her performance in the flick earned Grande an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress. Grande had been set to appear in American Horror Story Season 13, but last month it was reported that she had dropped due to ‘scheduling conflicts’ with her ongoing tour. 

The next time fans will see Grande on screen will be in Focker In-Law, where she’ll star alongside Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro. The movie is set to land in cinemas in November.

He was only 14 at the time of the crime, and part of a gang called Mickey Cobra Nation (MCN). In June of this year, Larry had been found guilty of murder among other offences following the killing of 26-year-old Dayla Swain, who prosecutors said was shot on 2 February 2025 outside a nightclub. 

Swain had been blasted during what prosecutors described as a 'botched hit' on a witness to another homicide, according to ABC News. Prosecutors said this related to the murder of a 15-year-old that occurred in 2023 during an alleged attempted armed robbery. It was alleged that the murder had prompted Larry and co-defendant Rashawn Samuels to then conspire with fellow gang members to target a witness. Dayla Swain, 26, was killed in the shooting (Anderson Memorial Park Cemetery and Funeral Needs) Swain was not the intended target and was caught in the crossfire of the planned attack outside of Sonny Ray's nightclub in Anderson. According to Fox 59, surveillance footage showed Swain's legs were accidentally run over by a truck fleeing the scene as gunshots rang out. 

When police arrived at around 3am, Swain was suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. She was transported to Community Hospital, where she sadly died. According to CBS4, her family described her as a 'phenomenal mother, sister, daughter and friend'. 

Another woman was wounded in the shooting, while a third woman was injured after being hit by a car that was fleeing the scene. The shooting took place at Sonny Ray's in Anderson last year (Google Maps) Following the shooting, Larry fled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and his parents filed a missing person's report. He eventually turned himself in to police on 2 March 2025. 

According to WRTV, prosecutors highlighted Instagram and Snapchat conversations between Larry and Samuels, in which they discussed weapons, surveilling the bar, and how they would avoid being identified by security cameras. Larry was found guilty of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, criminal organisation activity and dangerous possession of a firearm. 

At sentencing, Judge David Happe imposed a sentence on Larry of 50 years for murder, alongside an additional 50 years for the Criminal Organization Enhancement, equating to a sentence of 100 years to be served at the Indiana Department of Correction. Jo'Majze Larry (Madison County Jail) Larry's co-defendant, Rashawn Samuels, aged 19, was sentenced to 125 years in prison, consisting of 62 and a half years for Swain's murder and another 62 and a half years for the criminal organisation enhancement charge. 

In a statement, prosecutors said: "Indiana law recognises that criminal organisations can pose a greater threat to public safety because they coordinate criminal activity, recruit others to participate in crime, and often commit offences for financial gain or to further the goals of the organisation."

Larry could seek judicial review of century-long jail term 

Because Larry was under the age of 18 at the time of the incident, Indiana state law provides an opportunity for him to seek a judicial review of his sentence without the consent of the prosecuting attorney after he has served at least 20 years of his sentence. 

The Madison County Prosecutor's Office states: "It is important to note that this statute does not automatically reduce or shorten the defendant's sentence, nor does it guarantee release after 20 years. Rather, it simply permits the defendant to ask the sentencing court to consider modifying the sentence.

"At any such hearing, the prosecutor's office has the opportunity to oppose the request, victims and their families have the right to be notified and heard, and the judge retains complete discretion to grant or deny the petition after considering all relevant facts and circumstances." Rashawn Samuels was another gang member and co-conspirator (Madison County Jail / Fox 59)

Why minors can be sentenced to life in prison in the US 

The US is the only country in the world where minors can be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. It wasn't until 2005 when a ban was put in place on executing people under the age of 18 in the States, though children as young as eight can still be charged as an adult, held in an adult jail, and sentenced to extreme sentences in an adult prison, according to the Equal Justice Initiative. 

It wasn't always this way, however. In as early as 1899, US jurisdictions created the world’s first juvenile courts, which held children less culpable for their crimes and kept them away from adult prisons.

But within decades, these courts found themselves under attack by prosecutors and others who feared they were too lenient on underage murderers. 

The power of juvenile court judges was greatly reduced in the 1980s-90s, JSTOR Daily reports, and this lead to thousands of teenagers to receive life sentences - including Cyntoia Brown, a 16-year-old who was given a life sentence for the murder of a man she claims she killed in self defence after being sexually assaulted and forced into prostitution. 

Hamilton is known for his love of canines and sadly, his beloved bulldog Roscoe passed away in September after contracting pneumonia. Coco, who was also a bulldog, sadly passed away from a suspected heart attack in June 2020 at the age of six. 

Now, the Ferrari driver has a new puppy, a golden retriever named Halo. The pup was flown to Los Angeles and she will have he same trainer as Roscoe and Coco, Kirstin McMillian. A post on the @goldiva_goldens Instagram account on 18 July announced: "We’re excited to fly Ms Halo to Los Angeles to Formula 1 Ferrari driver @lewishamilton!! Dog trainer Kirstin McMillian is a 3 generation animal trainer @adventuresindogtraining flew to Maine yesterday. Proud dog parents are Am Grand CH Bronze Goldiva’s Blackjack x Can CH Tango."

Kim Kardashian and puppy Halo (@kimkardashian/Instagram) On Reddit, one fan gushed: "This dog has no idea how lucky it is, gonna be spoiled rotten and probably have the best life a dog can have." "Far too cute," said another Redditor. A third shared: "Awwwww she’s so adorable!! So happy for Lewis." 

In her recent Instagram dump captioned ‘lakemaxxing’, the Skims founder shared snaps from a recent vacation. In one picture she’s seen snuggling up with Halo. The pair have been linked since February, but it's been reported that they've actually been an item since December. Since then, the couple have been teasing fans with snippets of their relationship both with public outings and on social media. 

Throughout February and March, the couple went on trips, flying between Paris, the Super Bowl, and Arizona, before showing up together in Tokyo and at Coachella in April. Lewis introduced Kim to his mother in May, per the Daily Mail. 

He treated his mum, 71-year-old Carmen Larbalestier, to a dinner at Los Angeles restaurant Nobu alongside Kim and her family. 

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton’s relationship timeline 

It’s not clear when Kardashian and Hamilton first cross paths; however, they are pictured together at events with their partners at the time on several occasions over the years.

December 2025 

The pair both attend Kate Hudson's star-studded New Year's Eve party in Aspen, Colorado. 

February 2026 

Dating rumours begin to swirl as The Sun reports that they take a trip together to a luxury hotel in the Cotswolds, UK. Just one day later, Kardashian and Hamilton are seen entering a Paris hotel together, before heading to Aqua Kyoto for a date. A source tells People: “It was a romantic meetup.” 

On 8 February, the stars make their first public appearance together as they are spotted at the Super Bowl. 

March 2026 

Kardashian and Hamilton share similar desert landscape snaps on Instagram, suggesting they were on a trip with one another. A source tells Us Weekly: “They are going strong and really happy. Lewis is head over heels and those closest to him believe he has finally met his match. He has waited over a decade for his dream girl and is crazy about her.”

Following the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, Kardashian posts a pic of her Gucci look. Hamilton comments with a heart-eyed emoji. Later that month, they’re photographed in Tokyo together. The racing car driver is in Japan for the F1, while Kardashian is there for a spring break vacation with sister Khloé and their children. 

April 2026 

Kardashian makes her debut on Hamilton’s Instagram page, appearing in a video of him driving, where she says: “That’s insane.” The pair are seen watching Justin Bieber’s headline set at Coachella weekend one. Kardashian appears to soft-launch Hamilton on Instagram as she’s seen sitting on a man’s (who has tattoos that seem to match Hamilton’s) lap. She captions the post: “Coachella Hallelujah.” 

June 2026 

Kardashian hard launches Hamilton on her Instagram feed, posting a pic and video of them cycling in NYC in her carousel. “Lately,” she writes in the caption of the post. 

Days later, the reality star supports him in Monaco for the Grand Prix. She’s seen hugging Hamilton before the race and then watching from the sidelines. Hamilton says of Kardashian after the race: “It is amazing to have her come this weekend and to have that support. “It is amazing to have good people around you, good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day.” 

That means she won't appear in her West End debut alongside Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey as planned, and fans think a small but upsetting detail in her new music video reveals the toll her time in the spotlight has taken on her. 

Grande dropped the music video for her song 'Petal' on Friday (31 July) following the release of her album of the same name and the video is not for the faint of heart. Starting with a real tone setter of a warning of 'explicit content' and 'graphic violence', the 'Petal' music video shows Grande playing a character called Pepper, who goes through a series of gruelling Hollywood auditions. 

She's rejected by a panel of old male producers, who describe her as 'unmarketable,' 'unattractive' and 'inauthentic'. Ariana Grande in the music video for 'Petal' (Republic Records) In comments that appear to echo internet trolling Grande has faced over the course of her career, one of the producers says: "The way you used to be, I missed that. "It's like, you got some personality disorder going on, is that the thing? 

"We miss the old you. Maybe you could go out and find her and come back and give it another shot." At this point, Pepper snaps and slaughters the four execs, leaving her drenched in blood. It's a far cry from the pretty in pink Glinda, but there was one particular detail that fans have spotted amid Grande's step back from public life. 

During the series of rejections, a producer can been seen writing critical notes of Pepper's performance and appearance, with one of the musings commenting on the character's weight. The note said: “lovely voice, very kind but - nothing special. boring on the eyes. a little homely! couldn’t hurt to lose a few LBS"

The note in the 'Petal' video (YouTube/Ariana Grande) Fans were quick to spot the detail, even though it only appears on screen for a couple of seconds. One fan writing on X said: "I feel like she’s pulling real comments she’s gotten from the public for this bc i swear i’ve read these exact words over the years."

Supporters showed sympathy, too, writing: "oh poor Ari:(" and "she truly deserves the biggest apology." 

Ariana Grande taking a step back from the public eye 

Grande was just 16 when she first became famous by playing Cat Valentine in the Nickelodeon show Victorious and she has been in the public eye ever since. Now, however, she is moving out of the limelight amid 'endless' scrutiny about her physical appearance and health.

    Once her Eternal Sunshine tour ends on 1 September in London, she will be withdrawing from public appearances and will not be starring in the musical Sunday in the Park with George in London next year as scheduled. 

“Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour," a representative of Grande told PEOPLE. 

“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. Grande was left covered in 'blood' (YouTube/Ariana Grande) “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much. “She performs a very physical show, and there is a lot of athleticism involved. She performs healthily and successfully at a very high level night after night.” 

The production company behind the musical, which is to be performed at the Barbican in 2027, said in a statement: “Following this evening’s announcement from Ariana Grande’s team, Empire Street Productions can confirm that she has decided to step back from Sunday in the Park with George. 

"We know this cannot have been an easy decision, and she makes it with our complete understanding and support. We wish her nothing but the best." It added that the production would go ahead as planned with the re-casting to be announced in due course. 

Grande wrote new record with 'unfiltered rage' Grande takes a chainsaw to the producers (YouTube/Ariana Grande) The music video's gory visuals match the darker tone of her eighth studio album. Grande has previously described her recent release as a 'little feral' and says she wrote the songs from a usually untapped inner source. 

 

Speaking to Apple Music, the Wicked star said: “It pulls from many different parts of myself and yet, at the same time, it is very experimental and different for me.

“I wrote from a place that I don’t usually, which was like an unfiltered rage that I think we all feel sometimes.” She continued: “This time, I didn’t filter as much as I usually do. "I usually do a lot of rewrites and make things a little kinder. This time, I didn’t.”

The couple tied the knot 16 years ago and shared six children together: daughters Olivia, 15, Annabel, 12, Emilia, 10, and Gwendolyn, 8, and sons Joshua, 14, and Jeremiah, 4.

The news of the former One Direction member's death came as a shock to us all when it was announced on the evening of 16 October, 2024. Payne was in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the time, where he was staying at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, on the third floor. 

However, something went wrong that day, which saw the singer pass away after leaving his balcony and falling 46ft. Since then, many people have been spoken to in relation to his death, including staff at the hotel, friends of the singer, and more. Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy had left Argentina two days prior to his death (DANIEL LEAL/AFP via Getty Images) Among those were allegedly two adult workers, Aldana Serrano and Lucila Goitea, who have claimed to have been with the singer in the run up to his death. 

The pair made a number of claims when they were spoken to, and now, the documents have been viewed and reported on by the Mail on Sunday, which go on to allege they were called to the 31-year-old's room on the morning before he died and had consensual sex with him. 

One woman said: “During our time there, we had sex with him, which was consensual sex, only once, and he wore protection.” After spending around two hours in the room, the women asked to be paid around £3,700 for their services but it was at this point that the songwriter is said to have become angry after the international bank transfer supposedly failed. 

The women turned down the offer of Payne's £30,000 gold Rolex, which he is then said to have smashed before also turning his attention to the TV. One of the women said: “We told him we only wanted money so he took it and smashed it. He told us he didn’t care about the money. “And then he broke the TV, he punched it. He made us understand that he could smash everything because he knew he could pay for it.”

Payne had a son with Cheryl (Karwai Tang/WireImage) They would return to his room a while later to collect some things that they had left behind, at which point they claim that Payne apologised for 'giving them a bad time'. The documents suggest that they left the room around 4pm local time, with Payne's time of death recorded as 5.07pm. 

Payne's autopsy revealed that he had died from 'polytrauma' following the fall from his hotel balcony, while his toxicology report revealed that he also had cocaine in his system. 

The 'Familiar' singer was travelling with his girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Argentina, although she left two days before his death. He left behind his son Bear, who he shares with former X Factor judge and Girls Aloud member Cheryl. 

Earlier this year, court documents revealed the extent of the fortune that will be passed on to his son, with the 9-year-old likely to inherit an eye-watering sum of around £24.3 million, which automatically goes to him because Payne had no spouse or civil partner when he passed away. 

Back in 2012, her pet dog accidentally headbutted her in the face, causing her nose to swell and bleed heavily. While minor injuries typically heal within days, Jayne’s swelling persisted for months. 

After a battery of specialist visits, doctors delivered a shocking diagnosis: the physical trauma had triggered a dormant case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly known as Wegener’s granulomatosis), a rare autoimmune condition that causes inflammation of the blood vessels. Initially, Jayne wasn't put on the best treatment for her condition, and over the next few years, the condition aggressively attacked the tissue and cartilage in her facial cavity. 

“It was basically necrotising—it was eating away so that my septum crumbled and went, and my nose started to fall into my face,” Jayne shared during a recent episode of This Morning. “Over a period of a couple of years, it went from being swollen to completely flat.” 

“I walked around like that for about 18 months, two years. Leaving the house was incredibly difficult because every time you go out, people would stare at you,” she said. “People would ask you incredibly intrusive questions, very rude questions.” 

By 2017, the damage was irreversible. Left with no alternative, surgeons performed a complete surgical removal of her remaining nasal structure to stop the spread of infection. Six weeks after the surgery, she was given her prosthetic nose. “I just look normal again,” she said. “When you’ve got a facial difference, it’s incredibly hard to go out and face the world.” 

To reconstruct her profile without undergoing multi-stage skin graft surgeries, doctors fitted Jayne with three titanium implants screwed directly into her facial bones. These titanium posts work with small, powerful magnets embedded inside custom silicone prosthetic noses, allowing her to snap her nose into place every morning. 

The prosthetics—crafted by prosthetists who took direct molds of real noses—were customized down to every detail, including pores and subtle skin undertones. Over time, Jayne expanded her prosthetics collection to fit different seasons and occasions: 

Summer & Winter Shades: Tanned versions matched to her skin when she spends time in the sun, as well as paler winter options.

Before receiving her prosthetics, Jayne admitted she avoided leaving the house and struggled to look in the mirror. Today, she regularly shares her experience to raise awareness about vasculitis and remove the social stigma around facial prosthetics. “I hated the way I looked and couldn’t look anyone in the eye,” Jayne reflected. “Now, I’m loving life again. My prosthetics gave me my freedom back.” 

What is Wegener’s Granulomatosis (GPA)? 

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)—formerly known as Wegener’s granulomatosis—is a rare, non-contagious autoimmune disorder affecting roughly 3 in every 100,000 people. It is a form of vasculitis, a condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own blood vessels, causing chronic inflammation, swelling, and restricted blood flow. 

Because it most aggressively targets small blood vessels in the upper respiratory tract, sinuses, lungs, and kidneys, early symptoms often mimic a stubborn cold or severe sinus infection. 

Left unchecked, the persistent inflammation produces mass-like clusters of immune cells called granulomas, which can destroy nearby bone and cartilage—frequently leading to septal perforation or total nasal collapse.

How is it treated? 

Treatment for GPA focuses on calming the overactive immune system, stopping blood vessel inflammation, and preventing organ damage. 

Management begins with high-dose corticosteroids alongside targeted biologics like Rituximab or immunosuppressants such as Cyclophosphamide to rapidly induce disease remission. Once inflammation is under control, patients transition into a multi-year maintenance phase using milder medications—including Azathioprine or Methotrexate—to prevent frequent relapses. 

Finally, because the condition can leave behind permanent structural damage even after it becomes dormant, secondary care often includes preventative antibiotics, organ monitoring, or reconstructive procedures and custom prosthetics to restore function and appearance, just like the ones that help to give Jayne her life and confidence back. 

Mitch Winehouse, 75, claimed Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay had 'deliberately concealed' selling dozens of Amy Winehouse's items at auctions in the USA in 2021 and 2023, making a profit from them.

He argued the pair sought more than £700,000 for the clothing, which included a silk minidress worn by the iconic singer in her last ever performance in Belgrade in 2011 – which was sold for $243,200 (£182,000) – as well as other pieces of clothing, accessories and memorabilia. 

Parry and Gourlay maintained the items already belonged to them or were given to them by Amy - who died from alcohol poisoning on 23 July, 2011 - and Deputy High Court Judge Sarah Clarke KC threw out the claim in April.

In a hearing on Wednesday, July 29, Ms Justice Clarke ordered Winehouse to pay interim payments to each woman within the next two weeks, with £569,330 going to Parry and £394,521 to Gourlay. He must also pay the pair's legal costs on an indemnity basis, which means the pair will recover more of their costs than is usual. 

Mitch Winehouse made 'serious and unfounded allegations' 

Winehouse also spent at least £950,000 on his own legal fees pursuing his, what Ms Justice Clarke labelled, 'inherently weak claim.' 

Speaking on Wednesday, the judge said that Winehouse chose to 'pursue it aggressively and relentlessly to the end, and make serious and unfounded allegations against the defendants which significantly damaged their reputations, career prospects, financial security and health'.

Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay (Timothy Norris/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) She added that Winehouse had 'deliberately' made the case into a 'large-scale and expensive' one, which she believed was 'calculated to exert commercial pressure on the defendants to settle on his terms.' 

Ms Justice Clarke called his conduct 'unreasonable' and 'particularly serious', especially as Parry and Gourlay had 'stood faithfully by Amy' as well as with Winehouse himself and his family. She said the pair had: "Demonstrated their honesty and integrity over many years." 

Mitch Winehouse pursued the pair in an 'aggressive and unpleasant way.' 

In April, Ms Justice Clarke found that the women had not deliberately concealed the items in question and that Winehouse could have learnt which items were up for sale by applying 'reasonable diligence.' Mitch Winehouse (John Phillips/Getty Images) She also found that Winehouse 'knew all along' of the intended sales before the first auction was held.

She added that it was only after the sales had been made that he began to chase them for money in an 'aggressive and unpleasant way.' 

Amy Winehouse died on July 23, 2011 at the age of 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning in her home in Camden, London. Last week marked the 15th anniversary of her death. 

All 55 national football associations, including England, are in agreement - if the controversial proposals are green lit, the 2030 World Cup and any other competitions will be boycotted. 

UEFA released a statement on Wednesday (30 July) announcing that it's members will 'stand as one' and 'unanimously and unequivocally' object to Infantino's ideas to profit off the world's most popular sport. In a statement outlining its outrage, the governing body of European football boldly declared: "The World Cup is not for sale." 

Earlier this week, it was reported that FIFA boss Infantino is drumming up plans to set up a private company to run competitions which investors could buy into. The governing body intends to set up FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), which they will then 'invite third parties to make minority, non-controlling investments' in. FIFA would have a majority stake.

Each of the 211 member nations of FIFA would also have their own part which would add up to about 20 percent, which they could keep or sell. 

If it gets the thumbs up, FIFA says one of the bigger investors already on board is a group called Thrive Eternal. It was founded by Joshua Kushner,who is the brother of Jared, Donald Trump's son-in-law.

Private investors in FIFA competitions would see the World Cup as the holy grail, and could try and milk the cash cow as much as possible by expanding it to have more countries competing or trying to have it played more often instead of every four years. 

However, England and a host of UEFA's other 55 member nations are standing together and intend to make their opposition to this clear. 

UEFA's fiery statement 

In a defiant and lengthy statement, UEFA said: "UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions. UEFA and its 55 member associations stand as one. We unanimously and unequivocally reject FIFA’s proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup and other FIFA competitions to private investors. 

"The World Cup cannot be treated as an investment product. It is one of football’s greatest sporting legacies. It has been built over generations by players, national teams and supporters across every continent. No part of it should ever be surrendered to private investors. The World Cup is not for sale. 

"It is both irresponsible and indefensible that a proposal of such significance for football was conceived in secret and brought to the brink of approval without any meaningful consultation with those entrusted with stewarding the game. This is not merely a profound failure of leadership, but an abdication of FIFA’s duty as the custodian of world football."

UEFA said it is 'opposing these plans with absolute determination' (Christof Koepsel/Bongarts/Getty Images) It went on to slam the pressure put on countries to participate in FIFA's plans as 'governance by intimidation – an act of coercion unworthy of an institution entrusted with the stewardship of the global game'. 

"The moment external investors acquire ownership interests in FIFA competitions, football changes forever," the statement continued. "Commercial return becomes a permanent obligation. 

"Investor expectations become a daily pressure. From that moment onwards, every decision on the international calendar, every decision on competition formats and every decision shaping the future of football is no longer driven by what best serves the game, but by what best serves shareholders. This model has no place in world football. 

"Football’s future cannot be dictated by the expectations of those whose first duty is to maximise financial return. Nor can the interests of national associations, leagues, clubs, players and supporters become subordinate to investor returns. Football cannot mortgage its future for financial gain. Europe’s position is clear. 

'Some things are simply too important to sell' 

"We will never lend this model our legitimacy. No one has the moral authority to sell what they merely hold in trust for the next generation." 

In wake of the talks that took place today, UEFA declared: "No UEFA national teams will participate in any FIFA competition for so long as these proposals remain alive, unless this proposal has been abandoned in its entirety and binding assurances have been given that FIFA will never again open its governance or competitions to private ownership. 

"Nobody should be in any doubt: UEFA and its national associations will oppose these plans with absolute determination. There are moments when institutions are judged not by what they are prepared to accept, but by what they refuse to compromise. This is one of those moments. Some things are simply too important to sell. The FIFA World Cup belongs to football. It always will. And so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale." 

It is suspected that the threat of a boycott might tank the potential profits from FIFA's proposed scheme, as the lack of European nations would likely deter people from investing.

The 2030 World Cup might be missing a lot of European teams (Jordan Bank - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images) Infantino's proposals would need to be voted on and approved by FIFA's 211 member states - but they were told they only had 53 days to make their decision, while countries were promised $40m (£30m) if they pledged their support. 

"This says everything you need to know about this plan," UEFA said on Wednesday (29 July). UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has already shown his dismay with FIFA previously, having boycotted the World Cup final earlier this month in protest at various controversial moves – such as the suspended red card. 

 

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has also criticised the plan, saying the World Cup is ‘not a product’ and belongs to fans and not investors. 

Saved by the Bell created some pretty major stars, including the late Eric Dane who got his start on the 90s TV show. Berkley was one of the main celebrity stars to benefit from the show, going on to appear in Any Given Sunday and The First Wives Club. 

Both these films came however after she returned to Hollywood two years after her controversial movie Showgirls came out. Directed by Paul Verhoeven, the 1995 movie was an X-Rated portrayal of a young woman who heads to Las Vegas to become a showgirl. 

Showgirls was a critical and commercial flop, with Berkley being the subject of the worst criticism 

Showgirls’ NC-17 rating made it a tricky proposition to turn a profit due to its $45 million budget, raking in just $37.8 million at the box office. It was similarly panned by critics, sitting at just 24% on Rotten Tomatoes and widely considered one of the worst films of all time.

    Janet Maslin of The New York Times said in a review of the film: “The film makers had declared they were bravely exploring new levels of licentiousness, but the biggest risk they've taken here is in making a nearly $40 million movie without anyone who can act.” 

Add to this the whopping seven Razzies awards they won and it is fair to say it was one of the most widely hated films of the 90s. 

The film became a cult classic and very profitable, but it ‘ruined’ Berkley’s career Berkley in Showgirls (MGM) Showgirls later became profitable due to its highly successful home video and VHS sales, earning over $100 million. 

Despite this, Berkley has spoken about the backlash to the film nearly ruined her career and locked her out of Hollywood for two years. 

She told The Hollywood Reporter: “For a good two years, I wasn’t allowed to audition for things. The hardest part was being literally locked out of something I loved so much.” This changed when she was cast in The First Wives, sending in an audition tape because she wasn’t allowed to physically go into the offices to audition.

(Jeremy Chan/Getty Images) Berkley stated she had no idea the scale of the cultural re-evaluation of Showgirls until she attended a 20-year-anniversary in Los Angeles, saying: “It was such a profound moment, I can’t even tell you.”

This led her to last year lead a nationwide Showgirls reunion tour, going on to add: “It’s the perfect moment to reclaim my narrative, share my story and celebrate and thank the fans in person. 

“I’ve had some obstacles, but I’ve never given up… a lot of dreams have come true — with a lot more to come.” She has more recently starred in All’s Fair, Cobra Kai, and the 2020 Saved by the Bell reboot.
