A-list cast, glamorous location, plenty of action and the opportunity to shout: “Cut (the cake)”… it may not have been a blockbuster birthday but the celebration to mark filmmaker Taika Waititi’s 49th had all the hallmarks of a hit. The Oscar-winning director did, of course, have a little help, with wife Rita Ora and her close friend Vas J Morgan showing How We Do (Party) in Ibiza. Rita and Taika (together left) were joined by friends including Camila Cabello and Salma Hayek (below, with Taika, Rita, Vas and Anda Vlasaku). Sharing photos on social media showing off New Zealand-born Taika’s All Blacks-themed cake, the singer wrote: “Happy Birthday to my Leo with some memories and laughs.” She then explained: “The knife in the rugby ball was Taika as we didn’t…

There aren’t many couples who might envisage working with their partner as smooth sailing, but for husband-and-wife-to-be Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum, it was nothing but an “amazing experience”. And the Hollywood couple, who began dating in 2021 and got engaged last year, proved it in spades with their loved-up display at the UK premiere for their gripping new thriller, Blink Twice, which marks Zoë’s directorial debut. Wearing a chic and sultry red gown by Saint Laurent, Zoë, 35, stood proudly alongside her leading man on and off screen, who had opted for a simple yet suave suit as they walked the red carpet at Odeon Luxe in London’s Leicester Square. It wasn’t just the Magic Mike actor, 44, who was there to support the Fantastic Beasts actress – superstar…

He made his name playing a hero in action movies Pearl Harbor and Black Hawk Down in the early 2000s. But for his latest role, Josh Hartnett becomes a villain instead, portraying a serial killer in M Night Shyamalan’s psycho-thriller, Trap. Now 46, the Hollywood heart-throb has largely stayed under the radar in recent years, starring in small, independent films as well as stepping behind the camera and producing. He has also moved away from Tinseltown for a quiet life in the English countryside with his actress wife Tamsin Egerton. After meeting on set, they began dating in 2012 and secretly wed in November 2021. By then, they were also parents to three children – in February this year Josh revealed the couple had welcomed their fourth. In 2022 he…

Since the late 1970s, when he was booked by designers Elizabeth and David Emanuel to style hair at one of their catwalk shows, Sam McKnight has been a fixture at all the major fashion weeks. Call sheets send him around the world to work on glossy editorials and big-budget advertising campaigns. And his clients have included Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Diana, Princess of Wales. It wasn’t until the Covid-19 lockdowns, however, that Sam started work on his product line Hair By Sam McKnight. He tells HELLO!: “I realised that I like being at home and in my garden. I didn’t want to go on travelling and do nothing else. It’s all about new challenges as you get older.” And last year, the 69-year-old brought home his adorable cockapoo pup…

If you can’t Express Yourself on your 66th birthday, when can you? For Madonna, doing so meant dining in a Unesco World Heritage Site, dressed by Dolce & Gabbana (right) and surrounded by all six of her children. The music legend spun out the celebrations over a number of days, taking in classic Italian locations including Positano and Pompeii’s Teatro Grande, and wearing a catwalk of couture looks that were every bit as iconic as her. By her side was her rumoured new partner Akeem Morris, to whom she was first linked earlier this year, a whole two years after meeting the New York-based football coach on a photoshoot. Also present were her daughters Lourdes, Mercy, Stella and Estere, and sons David and Rocco. Sharing pics with fans on Instagram,…

The seas were calm but there was no shortage of royal waves as King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark arrived on the island of Bornholm on the first day of their four-day tour aboard the Royal Yacht Dannebrog. The couple came ashore to explore the island’s capital, Ronne, giving local residents and royal-watchers a closer look at Mary’s take on nautical style: a Weill long-line sleeveless jacket with Breton stripes and gold buttons, worn over a white blouse and navy trousers (above). The island-hopping trip, which also included stop-offs in Aero, Assens and Vejle, is a summer tradition for the Danish monarch. This year was the first time that Frederik, who became King in January following the abdication of his mother Queen Margrethe, had undertaken the engagement, and both…

It’s been a busy few years for Grammy and Brit award-winning artist Joss Stone. As well as touring Europe and the US, releasing new material and writing the soundtrack for musical The Time Traveller’s Wife, the 37-year-old has had children Violet, now three, and 19-month-old Shackleton, with Cody DaLuz, 35, whom she married in an impromptu service in their home town of Nashville last year. Joss, who released her acclaimed debut album The Soul Sessions in 2003 aged just 16, and has been friends with Princes William and Harry for more than a decade, met fellow musician Cody at the end of her Total World Tour in 2014, and her new track Loving You – her first solo single in two years – encapsulates the beginning of their relationship. “I…

In what could only have been a highly emotional meeting, the King last week met the families of three young girls killed in a knife attack in Southport. Hosting the event at his London home Clarence House, His Majesty sat down with the grieving parents of Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, who were fatally stabbed at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in July. The King met them privately the day after his visit to the Merseyside town, where he showed his support for the families and the town following the tragic deaths and rioting that followed. During the engagement His Majesty spent 45 minutes with some of the children who survived the attack and their families in private at Southport Town Hall,…

Marilyn Monroe once said: “Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition of friendship.” The actress made a good point, and although long-lasting matches in the world of showbusiness can appear few and far between, there are some couples whose unions have spanned decades. Here, we take a look at duos who – having negotiated high-profile careers, parenthood and the start of their lives’ second acts – are still very much in love. SARAH JESSICA PARKER AND MATTHEW BRODERICK Although her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw was on a constant quest to find love, Sex and the City actress…

As she prepares for her Broadway debut in September, Olivier award winner Nicole Scherzinger lifted the curtain on a rather different production, promo shots from which were released last week. The singer and musical theatre star is in excellent company, appearing with former member of Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland and ex-One Direction star Liam Payne on reality show Building the Band. The new series aims to create a new musical sensation by putting together musicians who must form a creative connection – without actually meeting or even setting eyes on one another. Hawaiian-born Nicole – who rose to fame as one of girl group Pussycat Dolls and whose stint as a guest judge on The X Factor led to the formation of One Direction – will be a mentor and…

With the roars of Swifties audible for miles and fireworks lighting up the London skyline, Taylor Swift ended the European leg of The Eras Tour with her eighth and final show at Wembley Stadium. The singer made her farewell a night to remember by inviting on stage surprise guests, not to mention adding a fresh batch of songs to her extensive set list. Fans expected their idol to pull off some impressive tricks for her final gig, which made her the first solo artist to play Wembley eight times on a single tour – and they were right. As the song Florida!!! began, the crowd erupted with excitement even before Florence Welch appeared. DYNAMIC DUO Dressed in a billowing white gown edged with black lace, the British singer and Taylor…

In a whirlwind of performances and speeches, dances and dinners, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex immersed themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Colombia during their four-day trip to the South American country last week. They even joined in, putting their rhythm skills to the test as they tried their hand at drumming in Cartagena, Colombia’s second city, on their third day. The couple were greeted with booming sounds as they arrived at the local drum school, Escuela Tambores de Cabildo, which preserves the art form of traditional African drumming. And after a rousing performance, they were invited by students to take part. THRILLING TRIP “I love seeing Meghan’s big, big smile; I can tell she’s excited,” said school founder Rafael Ramos of the Duchess, who wore a traditional…

When Princess Elizabeth – later to become Queen Elizabeth II – set off for her honeymoon in 1947, she and her new husband Prince Philip were not alone. Hidden under a blanket in the open-top carriage taking the newlyweds to London’s Waterloo Station was her beloved corgi Susan, who had also secretly accompanied her mistress to her wedding at Westminster Abbey. Susan had been an 18th-birthday present from the Princess’s parents, George VI and Queen Elizabeth, and Elizabeth II would remain devoted to her – and generations of her descendants – throughout her life. Since the Queen’s death in 2022 her corgis, Muick and Sandy, have been cared for by the Duke of York and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, who told HELLO! last year: “The corgis are very…

The Queen is to front an ITV documentary exploring her work with victims and survivors of domestic violence. In the 90-minute programme – titled Her Majesty the Queen: Behind Closed Doors and due to be shown later this year – Her Majesty, 77, will speak to survivors and relatives of those who have lost loved ones. One of the contributors is Diana Parkes, who was made a CBE for services to people suffering from domestic abuse. Diana co-founded the Joanna Simpson Foundation in honour of her daughter, who was murdered by her estranged husband in 2010 – a story the Queen has cited as a key factor in her decision to start working with victims of domestic violence. ITV’s head of development and commissioning editor Kate Teckman said: “With exclusive…
