Icons unite! The Crown’s Emma Corrin and Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek sealed things with a kiss while out for a stroll in a London park.

Friends star Matthew Perry was snapped cuddling up to a mystery woman – who looked remarkably like his former co-star – on a romantic lunch date at Nobu in Malibu. The rare sighting of the 54-year-old actor – who has been single since his engagement to Molly Hurwitz ended in June 2021 – comes amid reports pals are worried about the reclusive star. “He’s lucky to be alive,” claimed a source of Matt, who has allegedly been overindulging in “two to three packs of cigarettes a day” and “loading up on burgers and fries”. “His friends wish he wouldn’t tempt fate with all those unhealthy habits.” Matthew says he has some bad relationship habits to break too. “I manifest something that’s wrong with them. And then I break up with…

No matter where in the world you might be, seeing a cruise liner up close is breathtaking. When arriving in Trieste, Italy, to embark on my first ever cruise sailing the Aegean Sea, I wasn’t prepared for how awestruck I would be. OLD MEETS NEW Boarding the Oosterdam (part of Holland America Line), I was soon immersed in a world of old-time glamour mixed with all the modern finishes one would hope for on a luxury cruise. As I hadn’t ventured into this world before, I was pleasantly surprised at how large and comfortable the verandah rooms felt. Walking throughout the ship was always a lovely experience – saying “hello” to fellow travellers and crew, enjoying the sights and sounds on each deck (the Oosterdam has 10), and passing pools,…

The first episode of the two-part doco was pulled from ABC iview after their former bandmate Daniel Johns refused to give approval for Silverchair music video clips to be included until he had access to an advance copy of their book.

It only really changed how I felt when I walked down the street and people would really be yelling my name. “I felt like I had lost the opportunity to go out and get a job in a shop, or cafe, which is what I used to do in-between acting roles.

With Reese Witherspoon, Sofia Vergara and Hugh Jackman suffering what appears to be a Hollywood divorce curse, sources say there are whispers George and Amal Clooney might be next! For weeks they’ve weathered unrelenting rumours that their stunning Lake Como mansion has been listed on the off-sale market and Hollywood sleuths are quick to point out that in the lead-up to both Reese and Hugh’s announcements, there was the intense buying and selling of homes. “Selling properties is common for celebrity divorces,” says an insider. “They often try to sell their properties off market before making any announcement.

King Charles has been left fuming that the soap opera surrounding Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan is continuing to overshadow his royal duties, insiders tell Woman’s Day.
