Nick Vivarelli International CorrespondentItaly’s Lux Vide, the production company behind “Medici” and financial thriller “Devils,” is now scoring a global hit with its medical procedural “Doc,” the second season of which had its French launch at the Series Mania fest.“Doc,” which turns on a prominent physician who, following a head injury, suffers a permanent partial memory loss but still finds a new way to practice his profession, has been sold as a ready made to a slew of territories, including Australia, Canada, Venezuela, the Netherlands and Nigeria. The Italian version has already aired in France (TF1), Australia (SBS), Spain (AXN) and Portugal (AXN), while a local adaptation played in the Czech Republic.

Childish Gambino and Lil Wayne have teamed up with Latto on her new track ‘Sunshine’.The song features on her new album ‘777’, which is out today (March 25) and also features contributions from Kodak Black and 21 Savage.The track, which you can listen to below, is the first featuring Gambino since he released his fourth album ‘3.15.20’ in 2020.Wayne, meanwhile, recently teamed up with Machine Gun Kelly for the emo-rap track ‘Ay’, which appears on Kelly’s album ‘Mainstream Sellout’.Reviewing Latto’s album, NME awarded the record four stars and described it as the rapper going “toe-to-toe with the best of ‘em”.It added: “If there was a criticism of her 2020 debut ‘Queen of Da Souf’, it was that the “rich bitch shit” (as she defined her lyrical preoccupations on the clenched ‘He Say She Say’) and steely production could seem a little one-note. With this second round, Latto is utterly compelling when she slows things down.”Speaking to NME previously, Latto told NME she was moving in “my own lane”.

Cheekily, he pointed out that Princess Diana had 'terrible hair' in the mid-eighties (thanks to the decade's penchant for overusing hairspray) while the Queen, he commented, had 'beautiful skin' when she sat for him in 2014.Eight years later, at 95, Her Majesty's complexion is arguably her best beauty asset, which is clearly evident from her many Zoom appearances from the onset of the Pandemic until now. Known for her sunny lipstick hues from vivid pink to bold orange, it is the Queen's well-kept skin that sets her apart from women half her age.You only have to look at the Monarch's celebratory cover, shot in 1957, for next month's British Vogue to see how little her skin has aged in sixty years. Of course, it's not merely genetics that she has to thank for her luminous complexion, the formula to the Queen's ageless skin lies in these six secrets. If you spend most of your days in an oxygen deprived office block with recycled air conditioning, you'll be familiar with the lacklustre complexion that begins to develop when your complexion is chronically dehydrated, something many of us suffered when working from home in dry, arid conditions without access to a garden.On the contrary, a healthy glow ensues when we go on holiday or visit the countryside for the weekend, where the air is cleaner and in abundant supply. A keen horse rider, Queen Elizabeth has spent countless days at her country estates which has clearly benefited her skin tremendously over the years. No need to get a horse.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorSixty-four years ago, as Elvis Presley’s career reached its supernova stage, the 21-year-old singer’s team hit on a strategy that enabled him to profit from songwriting without actually writing songs. His management and music publisher had added Presley’s name to the credits on a couple of his early hits, but the singer wasn’t comfortable with the practice and frequently told interviewers that he had “never written a song in my life.” Instead, as recounted in Peter Guralnick’s authoritative biography “Last Train to Memphis,” his team set up an arrangement whereby the King skipped the credit but received one-third of the songwriting royalties for each song he released, no matter who wrote it.
