Staging a triumphant comeback after a performance of her West End show was cancelled due to “technical reasons”, Funny Girl star Sheridan Smith put paid to rumours of funny business when she earned a standing ovation from the audience and co-stars. Sheridan made her debut as comedienne Fanny Brice in December, acting alongside Darius Campbell and Joel Montague (below right, with Sheridan) and received rave reviews. However, when the Savoy Theatre brought the curtain down just 35 minutes into a recent performance, some disappointed audience members were quick to blame Sheridan on social media. Suggestions that the Olivier award winner seemed tipsy were later denied by her spokesperson, who stated: “I have spoken to my client and this is categorically untrue.” She was upbeat the following night, smiling broadly and…

Attending the taping of a Mother’s Day TV special in the US last week, Rita Ora’s closeness to her mum was obvious – despite their contrasting monochrome outfits on the red carpet. The singer and her mother Vera Sahatçiu were in New York taking part in Dear Mama, a celebration of famous mums and daughters. During the one-off special, which also featured Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and their children Jaden and Willow, Rita asked her mum on stage and presented her with a bunch of flowers before giving her a hug. It seems a strong bond is not the only thing they share, with Rita clearly inheriting Vera’s striking good looks and fashion flair, as well as her tireless work ethic; Vera is a GP who retrained as a…

‘Much as I would have liked to be a good singer, I gave it up very early and sort of ruined my voice with smoking, drinking and debauchery’ The life of Florence Foster Jenkins star Meryl Streep (left) has been more of a rock opera ‘Nowadays, there is no difference between fame and infamy. It is better to be known as an absolute idiot than not to be known at all’ Ricky Gervais would rather look on the bright side of celebrity life ‘Things start with “baby”, then it goes to “bae”, then all the way down to “buh”. Soon I’m just going to go “uh”’ Cameron Diaz keeps pet names short and sweet for husband Benji Madden ‘It’s time to revolutionise and times are a-changing. We’ve got to make…

Actress Emma Thompson sang the praises of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall at a reception honouring British Oscar-winners last week as she treated them to a musical greeting. The Sense and Sensibility star serenaded the royal hosts when they arrived for the event at St James’s Palace, crooning: “It’s you. You look gorgeous.” Emma was joined by daughter Gaia, 16, who complimented Camilla on her Edina Ronay green lace dress, and a roll-call of Britain’s biggest and best-loved movie stars. Sir Michael Caine, Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Judi Dench and Colin Firth were among the guests, as were Britain’s newest Academy Award-winners – Bridge of Spies actor Mark Rylance and singer Sam Smith, who won the gold statuette for his Bond theme Writing’s on the Wall…

Jodie Foster finally received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last week after a near 50-year career in TV and movies. Supporting the 53-year-old double Oscar winner were her sons Charles, 17, and 14-year-old Kit (together, above). Jodie, who had resisted appearing on the starry sidewalk until now, was pleased to receive the honour after directing new film Money Monster . “I made this conscious decision that I didn’t want to have a star on Hollywood Boulevard unless it was in conjunction with a movie I was directing,” she said. “I don’t know why that was important to me; it seems silly, but that’s why I waited all these years.”…

For animal-mad presenter Lorraine Kelly, filming at a penguin rescue facility in South Africa was a dream come true. But the trip of a lifetime to the Sanccob centre in Cape Town had its difficult moments. “They care for penguins that have been attacked by dogs or sharks. There was one that had lost an eye,” she says. “Others get run over, or swallow fishing hooks, or lay their eggs in people’s gardens and obviously that’s hopeless. These poor wee guys are in danger and it is so sad. The hardest thing is you can’t pick them up and cuddle them because they get too tame, so I had to sit on my hands. “Penguins are very curious so they wander up from the beach into gardens and onto roads.…

ALL DRESSED UP FOR STYLE LAUNCH Highly acclaimed London restaurant Sketch was the venue for a party celebrating the launch of wekoko.com – a stylish website that hosts more than 50 fashion labels, including emerging designers who take their inspirations from festival chic. The fashion-loving crowd, including We Koko co-founders Lloyd Nwagboso and Ana Tanaka, Tallia Storm and Jacobi Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe, drank champagne and cocktails before dancing the night away. HOTEL PARTY IS CHILD’S PLAY London’s yummiest mummies headed to the exclusive Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge for a children’s party with a difference. The ballroom had been transformed into Neverland, complete with mermaids, Captain Hook’s ship and a Lost Boys’ campsite. The children enjoyed face painting, hair braiding, singing and games, as well as such treats as mini burgers, gold chocolate…

We’ve all done it, rushed our morning make-up routine the minute the sun shines, then at some point later on, looked in a mirror in daylight and been aghast at the face staring back at us. Research shows that it is bronzer that we not only turn to for a quick fix in spring, but also that we often get wrong: too orange, too much, not in the right place… the list of bronzing errors is long. But this needn’t be the case. Choose the right colour for you, the right brush to apply it and the right places to brush it on and your bronzer can be a staple in your make-up routine, as commonplace and comforting as your mascara. We asked leading make-up gurus for their golden rules…

‘Because I’ve been there, done that, there’s not much my children can rebel against’ Davina McCall is bouncing around, singing along loudly to Justin Bieber on MTV and joking about setting up her own band, Mutton Mix or Atomic Cat. “What are you so excited about?” asks HELLO! . “Life,” she replies. As enthusiastic off screen as she is on, the 48-year-old TV presenter looks fantastic – clear-skinned and dark-eyed, she is a poster girl for the over-40s. Having built a reputation as a bit of a health and fitness guru – she has written cookbooks, produced fitness DVDs and ran, swam and cycled 500 miles across the UK in seven days for Sport Relief – she’s in great shape. “I think I have the opposite of body dysmorphia,” she…

Once the playground of rich and famous Americans, Havana for a short time revisited its pre-Communist roots – with a little help from the Kardashians. Intent on turning Cuba into Kuba, reality TV’s first family flew to the island to film scenes for a forthcoming series of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and while there visited a children’s amusement park in Havana. After saying goodbye to her husband Kanye West, who accompanied her on the trip, Kim and their two-year-old daughter North headed off for a fun day out with sister Kourtney and her children, Penelope, three, and Mason, six, in a chauffeur-driven pink classic Cadillac. Kim and Kourtney watched and took selfies as the young trio squealed with delight on the rides (below with Kim; North at the front…

Famous names including Emma Barton, Rita Simons, Samantha Womack, Rachel Stevens and Arlene Phillips (above, from left, with talent manager Jonathan Shalit) made the most of the early summer sunshine at glamorous rooftop drinks last week. The TV, music and West End stars were invited to the tenth birthday party of talent agency Cole Kitchenn, which is part of Jonathan’s Roar Global group as was Pixie Lott. Other actors invited to the National Theatre’s Deck bar in London included former EastEnders stars Louisa Lytton and Sid Owen. Sparking speculation of a role on the BBC1 soap, former S Club 7 star Rachel was seen chatting to Samantha, who plays Ronnie Mitchell. “There’s been talks about EastEnders in the past, which would be really fun to do a cameo role in,”…

Acclaimed broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough will have a new Arctic exploration vessel named after him in honour of his 90th birthday this week. The £200million polar research ship will be named RRS Sir David Attenborough . Sir David said he was “truly honoured” by the decision. “I have been privileged to explore the world’s deepest oceans alongside amazing teams of researchers,” he said. “With this new polar research ship they will be able to go further and discover more than ever before.” One of the boat’s remotely operated submarine vehicles will be called Boaty after the Natural Environment Research Council invited suggestions for the new vessel’s name – with Boaty McBoatface becoming the runaway favourite. The new…

It was perhaps inevitable that Kate Beckinsale’s daughter Lily, 17, would follow in her parents’ acting footsteps. “We were hoping to produce something sensible like a nice doctor, but unfortunately she does want to be an actor,” Kate, 42, says of her only child, whose father is Welsh actor Michael Sheen. “So we’ve just had to accept our failure there,” she adds with a resigned sigh. It’s a typically tongue-in-cheek response from a woman who couldn’t look less like a failure as she sits opposite me in The Beverly Hills Hotel, smiling broadly, a simple black jumpsuit emphasising her endless limbs, her hair swept back to accent her sparkling brown eyes above those high cheekbones, inherited from her Burmese great-grandfather. The Underworld star is at the top of her game…

When actress and Strictly Come Dancing star Georgia May Foote walks into our photoshoot fresh from a holiday – all glowing skin, glossy hair and radiant smiles – it’s as if she has brought the sunshine with her. It’s a look that serves the ex- Coronation Street star well as she prepares to swap the glitter ball for a glamorous night out at a glitzy awards ceremony. “I love it. I just take a deep breath and smile. It doesn’t scare me any more because I’ve done so many,” she says of stepping onto the red carpet at the House of Fraser British Academy Television Awards 2016 with the help of St Tropez, the awards’ official tanning and finishing partner for the fifth consecutive year. Attending the ceremony is a…

‘Filming is hard work. I never knew how exhausting it was to be myself’ Dorothy It’s a case of for richer or richer when reality TV co-stars Morgan Stewart and Brendan Fitzpatrick tie the knot in the new series of #RichKids of Beverly Hills , but that doesn’t mean their route to the altar has been without drama. “The wedding planning process is probably the most stressful thing I’ve ever had to do,” Morgan exclusively tells HELLO!, adding that choosing a wedding dress “was not easy”. It’s her characteristic honesty that has won over audiences on the show, which has just started its fourth series. “I think viewers are really invested in Brendan and I, so we wanted to share our wedding with them,” she says. The wedding…

‘All I can say is that it’s a huge honour to work with the Duchess’ She has enough royal clients to fill a balcony at Buckingham Palace. Jane Taylor’s exquisite hats have been worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, the Countess of Wessex, Zara Tindall, Princess Eugenie and even 12-year-old Lady Louise Windsor, as well as Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway. They have also been worn by pop queens Beyoncé, Rita Ora and Paloma Faith and famous fans from Amal Clooney to Michelle Dockery, while Kate Moss was photographed wearing nothing but one of Jane’s straw hats – now known as the “Moss”. “Last time I was asked who my ideal client would be, I said ‘Beyoncé’ and…

Olivia Palermo was the picture of chic as she stepped out in New York’s SoHo last week.

Tina Fey and Margot Robbie shine with star support from Billy Bob Thornton (above with Tina) and Martin Freeman. In UK cinemas from 13 May BOOK THE NEST Dysfunctional New York family The Plumbs are brought together for the first time in years after troubled Leo spends most of the family trust fund on rehab, meaning his three siblings no longer have a nest egg to rely on.

She might be just two years old, but little Mia Tindall knows her way around an eventing ground. Showing every sign of having inherited her family’s unbridled enthusiasm for all things equestrian, the youngster happily went along for the ride when mum Zara competed at the recent Withington Manor Horse Trials in Gloucestershire. Whether bumping along in her pushchair (with Zara, above left) or reining in a family pet (left), Mia seemed in her element at the event. There were more horsey happenings for the youngster the following week as the action switched to Badminton, where she and Dad Mike watched Zara in action on High Kingdom, the horse she hopes to take to the Olympic Games in Rio in August. The pair certainly looked on winning form when they…

Wearing a flak jacket and helmet, when Orlando Bloom (left) was caught on camera in war-torn Ukraine he certainly looked the part. However, the Pirates of the Caribbean star was not there to film his latest blockbuster; he was acting on behalf of Unicef. Orlando, a goodwill ambassador for the children’s charity, visited schools close to the frontline in eastern Ukraine to raise awareness of the Education Cannot Wait fund and the importance of giving children in conflict-affected countries access to learning. At a school in Sloviansk – hit by shelling when fighting broke out two years ago – he chatted with pupils (above) who had lived through harrowing times and said they had taught him some valuable lessons. “After surviving some of the most terrifying experiences life could throw…

Enjoying those last precious months of couple-time before the birth of their first child this summer, Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen (together, left) added some sparkle to their week with a visit to Italian jewellery and luxury accessories brand Bulgari’s flagship London store. The pair spent over an hour in the New Bond Street branch, which closed its doors to other customers to accommodate them. They later left side by side and just ahead of two Bulgari employees, who were charged with carrying their precious purchases. After growing close to Ben when they were partnered on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, the professional dancer waltzed off with his heart in the wake of his split from wife Abby in 2014. She made the surprise announcement that they were expecting a…

DOLLY PARTON Golden wedding ceremony plans Dolly Parton and her businessman husband Carl Dean will renew their wedding vows in a lavish ceremony later this month to mark 50 years of marriage. The 70-year–old singer said: “I’ll have a beautiful wedding dress, ’cause I didn’t have a big long wedding dress when we got married, and we’ve got a suit for him, so we’re going to dress up and take a bunch of pictures.” The pair met in a laundromat on the day Dolly moved to Nashville aged 18, marrying two years later. Dolly plans to sell the photos of their second ceremony to benefit her literacy charity Imagination Library. NHS CHOIR Bieber-beaters get film deal The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir, who beat Justin Bieber (left) to last year’s…

Expecting their third child together, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin looked happy and relaxed as they enjoyed a date night at a Los Angeles screening of classic film All the President’s Men last week (above). With her baby bump in full bloom, Hilaria, 32, opted for a blue Isabella Oliver maternity dress – perhaps a reflection of the recent announcement that she and Alec, 58, are expecting a boy in the autumn. He’ll be a brother to Carmen, two, and ten-month-old Rafael, as well as step-brother to Ireland, Alec’s 20-year-old daughter with Kim Basinger. “We’re very lucky,” Alec said recently of his brood. “We’re very happy.”…

‘If I were to get another dog, I think I might get home and find the door locked’ Children have never been on the agenda for TV presenter Kate Humble, who says she is happy looking after her animals on her 117-acre farm in Wales with husband Ludo Graham. It’s not surprising, then, that Kate didn’t think twice when she was asked to front a new TV guide to buying a dog. “I have two rescue dogs and a sheepdog and I adore them,” she says. “I love being on the farm and I love going out with the dogs for a walk.” Her sheepdog has just had a litter of puppies and Kate’s voice lights up at their mere mention. “They are adorable,” she says. “But what this programme…

‘I’m proud of her every day. She’s amazing. How do I keep up with her? I don’t. Joan wakes up full of verve’ Percy Gibson Hollywood legend Dame Joan Collins was joined by a galaxy of stars to celebrate the paperback launch of her novel The St Tropez Lonely Hearts Club at Harry’s Bar in London’s Mayfair. As around 100 guests gathered beneath the sparkling Venetian chandeliers, the inimitable star hinted that the source of inspiration for some characters in her racy murder mystery were only a few feet away. “One or two are here tonight,” she told HELLO! with an enigmatic smile. “I’ve met some very interesting people in St Tropez...” Dame Joan, who has a home on the CÔte d’Azur, dedicated her book to her sister…

A bittersweet reunion heralds the end of an era on EastEnders this week as the Mitchell family prepares for Peggy’s emotional swansong – marking Dame Barbara Windsor’s final departure from Albert Square. But not before Ross Kemp, as screen son Grant, returns to the soap for the first time in a decade alongside brother Phil (Steve McFadden). “It was fabulous,” beams the actress 78, who is on typically infectious form when we meet on the set in Elstree. “People were so excited to see Ross. What I loved about him, bless him, was he said, ‘I’m so nervous’ – because I was nervous. Thank God he was. Steve is just Steve. He’s been doing it forever, he’s got it all sorted out and so the pair of us were holding…

She’s the soul sensation from Devon who, aged 15, shot to fame in 2002 after signing a record deal. Some 14 years later, life is still pretty rosy for singer Joss Stone. The famously feisty 29-year-old has seven hit studio albums under her belt – including the latest, Water for Your Soul . She has won Grammy and Brit awards and has sung with everyone from James Brown to Sir Mick Jagger. She’s also pals with the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry. In the midst of an ambitious tour in which she aims to play in every country in the world, Joss is in London this weekend to host a gig for children’s charity Barnardo’s. We caught up with the star to hear more about life on the road…
