Collaborating with partners or relatives on a creative project isn’t for the faint-hearted – it requires diplomacy, patience and mutual respect. All of which singer and songwriter Lola Lennox clearly has in spades, having enlisted the help of her Canadian model and musician boyfriend Braeden Wright and her mum, Eurythmics lead singer and solo superstar Annie Lennox, to record her new single. “She’s always great with ideas, and I’ve learnt a lot from seeing her come in and make a song better,” says Lola of working with Annie, who is also credited as a producer on Want More, one of the new tracks on her forthcoming EP. “We could have bickered. But we’re pretty respectful and good at being professional together. Every mum and daughter have their moments, obviously. But…

Actress, singer, songwriter, children’s author, activist – Cynthia Erivo is a woman of many talents… and some very impressive talons (below). The award-winning star of stage and screen was among guests at the premiere of fantasy series Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in Culver City, California where, it’s fair to say, she nailed the dress code in slinky separates by Rick Owens (right). Known for her love of nail art, Cynthia once explained: “It’s a way to tell a story. Sometimes I have little hidden codes or pictures that people may not realise are in there.” She was attending as a guest of actress Sophia Nomvete, who plays Princess Disa in the Lord of the Rings prequel, and thanked her close friend “for everything you do for…

Editor’s Letter The start of a new month or a new season – or a new term for many of our children – always feels like the perfect time to reset, reassess old habits and get back into a good routine. For me, it’s also a time of reflection. I practise gratitude daily, and set intentions so I have a clear path to follow. At the core of everything I do is balance. This is my motivation and guiding principle. Throughout my life to date, one of the lessons that resonates most with me is the importance of taking care of yourself and finding that balance within. We are all creatures of habit, often in our own ways, but ultimately we’re human beings trying to figure out this thing called…

For Martine McCutcheon, the school run is best tackled with positivity and a great playlist. “We’ve always got music playing in the car. We’re always fighting to play the next song,” says the Love Actually actress, mum to seven-year-old son Rafferty with her musician husband Jack McManus. We caught up with Martine for our Back to School digital issue, guest-edited by Alesha Dixon, to find out how she keeps on top of everything, why she thinks downtime is so important, and the songs that get the family going in the mornings… Martine, how does the typical school run go? “It normally consists of getting Rafferty in the car and him asking me for my phone so that he can put on his favourite music. “We make sure that he’s got…

It’s not every day a rapper turns their hand to babycare products, but that’s exactly what Krept from award-winning hip-hop duo Krept & Konan has done – and the range is a hit. Nala’s Baby, which he created with former partner Sasha Ellese Gilbert, with whom he coparents two-year-old daughter Nala, sold out online within ten minutes of its launch at Boots last month. It began after the duo noticed a lack of natural, high-quality products at a price people could afford. “One thing I noticed is that everything that’s good for you is expensive,” Krept, whose real name is Casyo Johnson, tells hello!. “It’s hard, especially now that there’s so much inflation and the cost of living’s gone sky high. “Getting essentials like baby products should be at an…

Her Strictly Come Dancing triumph helped give a voice to deaf people, and now Rose Ayling-Ellis has teamed up with toymaker Mattel to launch a Barbie with behind-the-ear hearing aids. Rose, who is deaf from birth, took part in a photoshoot (left and right) to promote a range celebrating diversity. “When I was little, I would draw hearing aids onto my Barbie dolls to make them look like me – now deaf children don’t have to!” the actress wrote on social media. Since claiming the Glitterball trophy – and a subsequent Bafta – Rose has used her profile to raise awareness of British Sign Language (BSL). She was the first person to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story in BSL and backed a campaign to have its status enshrined in law.…

Even travelling across London rather than through time and space, as a former Doctor Who Matt Smith knows that finding the right companion can make all the difference. Which is why he attended the premiere of his latest TV series, Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, with his biggest supporter: his mother Lynne (together, below left). Matt was joined at the premiere by castmates including Bafta winner Paddy Considine, Rhys Ifans, Emily Cooke and Aussie actor Milly Alcock, who called her co-stars “a big family”. Bringing the fashion fire, Emily Carey (left) lit up the event in a scarlet jacket and miniskirt – with train – from Fendi Couture.

Waving goodbye to life as a brunette, Ana de Armas (left) looks eerily convincing as the world’s most famous blonde in a new film about Marilyn Monroe. Ana is the latest star to embrace the challenge of playing the screen legend, following in the wake of Mira Sorvino, Michelle Williams and even Madonna. Out next month, Ana has described Blonde as “the most daring, unapologetic and feminist take on her story that I had ever seen”, and a trailer has given fans a taster. The studio has also released stills showing Ana with her co-stars Adrien Brody, who portrays Marilyn’s playwright husband Arthur Miller, and Bobby Cannavale (below) as baseball player Joe DiMaggio, to whom she was married for just a year. “It was such a gift to get to…

Brooklyn Beckham reveals that he shares the pain of the 70 of his 100 tattoos dedicated to his wife Nicola Peltz MARIAH CAREY Sued over Christmas trademark bid Mariah Carey has ignited a legal battle after attempting to trademark the title “Queen of Christmas”. The singer, 53, filed the application in March 2021, prompting Elizabeth Chan, who released an album named The Queen of Christmas last year, to submit a declaration of opposition to the trademark. “I feel very strongly that no one person should hold onto anything around Christmas or monopolize it in the way that Mariah seeks to in perpetuity,” she said. Darlene Love, famous for her Christmas tunes such as All Alone on Christmas, also spoke out, saying: “David Letterman declared me the Queen of Christmas 29…

‘Be interested in what’s going on in their world’ While Kate Silverton may be known as one of the UK’s most respected broadcasters, having reported from the frontline in Iraq and Afghanistan, the former BBC News presenter has also just qualified as a child therapist, as she has a lifelong passion for children’s mental health and the early years. The mother of two retrained as a children’s counsellor with Place2Be – the mental health charity for children, of which the Duchess of Cambridge is royal patron – and during lockdown, released herbook, There’s No Such Thing as ‘Naughty’, which became a Sunday Times bestseller. “I think what the Duchess is doing is wonderful,” Kate has said of the royal. “I’ve worked with the Royal Foundation and hosted events for the…

Portraying one of TV’s most colourful characters is pretty daunting, but Rosemary Ashe, star of Great British Bake Off – The Musical more than rose to the challenge – just ask Dame Prue Leith. The cook and Bake Off judge declared the production a “great show”, adding: “I loved it!” She also happily posed (left, on the right) with Rosemary, who played Pam Leigh in the stage show. Jam-packed with songs, the musical had been putting buns on seats at Cheltenham’s Everyman Theatre for two weeks. Prue caught Rosemary’s final performance and couldn’t resist congratulating her. “She said I caught the essence of her,” said Rosemary. The Olivier Award-nominated star also took home a memento from their encounter: a pair of Prue’s trademark bold earrings. “I asked if I could…

With an Oscar, a Bafta, Golden Globes and many other awards in a career that spans decades, Diane Keaton cemented her reputation in the film industry long ago. Which is why being asked to take part in an imprint ceremony outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood was long overdue. The star of films including Annie Hall and The Godfather beamed (left) as she put first her hands and then her bare feet into the wet cement (above right), calling it “so weird”. She was watched by a crowd of fans that included her sister Dorrie as well as her daughter Dexter and son Duke.

News of his trip broke after the 37-year-old was photographed at the airport in a photo shared on Twitter, and a spokesperson for he and his wife the Duchess confirmed: “Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, is welcoming and co-hosting a group of US officials, conservationists, and philanthropists as they tour protected wildlife and nature areas.” In another photograph, he was spotted dressed casually at the popular beach resort, which is the gateway…

The Duke of Cambridge will be in New York City next month to host a special “innovation summit” for his Earthshot Prize. The event will gather last year’s finalists and look ahead to the 2022 awards ceremony, to be held in Boston in December. The prize was launched by Prince William and his wife the Duchess’s Royal Foundation in 2020 and grants £1m to each of five individuals or organisations who have devised potential solutions for Earth’s environmental problems.

Darius Campbell Danesh, who was found dead last week in a US apartment, aged 41, was a man who saw the sky as his only limit as he sought stardom. In 2001, he auditioned for the reality talent show Popstars with a cover of Britney Spears’s Baby One More Time that earnt him notoriety, but he didn’t make it past the second round. Later that year, donning a new look and professional demeanour that won over the public, the Scottish-born star placed third on ITV’s Pop Idol, behind runner-up Gareth Gates and winner Will Young. His unwavering self-belief saw him score a series of UK top ten singles over the next three years – including his debut, Colourblind, in July 2002 – and move on to several successful theatre roles,…
