Katie Price stepped into Christmas as she showed off her tiny waist in a sparkly co-ord ahead of the festive season.The media personality and model confidently showed off her new outfit, but fans were left issuing the same concern. On Sunday evening (17 November), the 46 year old took to Instagram with a video clip as she strutted her stuff in a black sparkly puff skirt and cropped long-sleeve top.The top had bow detailing at the neckline, with Katie completing the dazzling look with a pair of black point heels and her long dark longs in a high ponytail.

Elton John has opened up about his children’s relationship with his fame, saying they are “not interested in being in the limelight”.The music legend and his husband David Furnish have two sons, Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John, 13, and Elijah Joseph Daniel Furnish-John, 11, both born via surrogacy.In a new interview with Kate Thornton on Greatest Hits Radio on Friday (November 15), Elton, 77, gave an insight into his family life, stating that the reason he has decided to stop playing live is so that he can “spend the rest of my life with my boys”.Explaining how his parenting style is different from that of his own parents, he added: “When the kids were born I didn’t want them to have any fear. I grew up in the 1950s and everything was ‘children should be seen and not heard.’ I was treading on eggshells everywhere and I didn’t ever want my children to feel like that.“They’re not interested in being in the limelight,” he added.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Elton John harbors a strong resistance to living in the past, so even though the new documentary “Elton John: Never Too Late” is filled with retrospective glories, it made sense that he would want the film to go out on a brand new song. Or, as the case may be, a Brandi new song. Brandi Carlile saw the film and was moved to write the words that would give the doc not just a title song but a title — becoming his brown dirt cowgirl, as it were, for the simple task of encapsulating his entire state of being, at this mellowing but still-unretired stage of his life.

Frank Rizzo It takes more than a holy spirit and revivalist verve to make “Tammy Faye” divinely suited for musical theater. It would take a creative team knowing what their show wants to be: a campy hoot, a stinging indictment, an anguished melodrama, a witty satire, a revealing biography? The new Broadway musical “Tammy Faye” touches on all of these points of view but lands on none with any sense of confidence, consistency or purpose. It’s as messy as Tammy’s mascara.

If you remember Tammy Faye Bakker at all from the peak of her ’80s televangelical fame, you’ll most likely remember the scandals, the mascara, the tarantula-leg eyelashes, the big, big hair, the prescription drugs and maybe the groundbreaking on-air interview she did with AIDS patient Steven Pieters, all at a time when Evangelical Christians weren’t well known for any of the above.

mixed reviews, but it eventually caught on with tourists.Then, in 2006, came the singing vampires of “Lestat” (uh-oh!), based on Anne Rice’s novels. Critics were out for blood, and wary audiences didn’t bite.And on Thursday, the Rocket Man’s latest show, “Tammy Faye,” took its opening night bows, once again, at the Palace. Unfortunately for Sir Elton, the god-awful musical about flamboyant 1980s televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker (later Messner) is a lot more of a “Lestat” than an “Aida.”Sheesh, the glories of his “Billy Elliot” seem so long ago, Billy probably goes by William now.“Tammy Faye,” which I also found lacking when it premiered in 2022 at the tiny Almeida Theatre in London, vanishes in a much bigger Broadway house.

Elton John has opened up about the strict diet he follows for his diabetes.The singer, songwriter and pianist appeared as a guest on Ruthie’s Table podcast with host Ruth Rogers. During the interview, John revealed the dietary restrictions he has to follow since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the early 2000s.“I can have an apple, I can eat a bit of melon. As long as you’re sensible about it, it doesn’t shoot your blood sugar up,” he said.

The Last Dinner Party has become the latest band to quit X/Twitter, citing the platform’s “spread of misinformation and right-wing political bias”.Since Elon Musk took over the social media platform in October 2022, misinformation and right-wing content has become more rife. Numerous public figures, including Elton John, KISS‘ Gene Simmons, Whoopi Goldbergand Neil Young all quit the platform shortly after Musk’s takeover.There has been a further exodus of users from X/Twitter after Donald Trump was re-elected as President of the United States last week.

Sir Elton John has confessed to craving "chocolate and ice cream" after eliminating sugar from his diet in a bid to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

LadBaby stars Mark and Roxanne Hoyle have revealed the real reason why they stopped releasing Christmas songs. While they may have started off as content creators, known for posting lighthearted videos online, the duo quickly became music successes after releasing a string of festive singles between 2018 and 2022. However, after topping the Christmas charts for five years in a row, thanks to songs including I Love Sausage Rolls and Don't Stop Me Eatin’ as well as a collaboration with Ed Sheeran and Elton John, LadBaby pulled out of the Christmas number one single race in 2023 - and now they’ve revealed the reason why.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Universal Music Group sued the start-up distributor Believe for $500 million on Monday, alleging the rival firm has engaged in “rampant piracy” of its most famous artists. In a complaint filed in federal court in New York, UMG alleged that Believe has distributed tracks by fake artists like “Kendrik Laamar,” “Rihamna,” and “Llady Gaga,” which are simply sped-up versions of the real artists’ songs.

Elton John documentary has spoken about how the early part of his career came at a “dark time”.The Disney+ film Elton John: Never Too Late follows the musician as he reflects on his life and 50-year career as he prepared for his final North American stadium show at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium in November 2022.Speaking in a new interview with IndieWire, R.J. Cutler, who directed the film with John’s husband David Furnish, said that despite being prolific at the start of his career in 1970, it was an uncertain time in the music industry following the deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.He said: “I shared with David that there was a great story to be told about the first five years of his career.

When I set out to see R.J. Cutler‘s new documentary, Martha, quite frankly I wasn’t focusing on it other than just another screening I had, and that it would be all about Martha Stewart. So I expected it would be mostly gardening, cooking, and setting the perfect dinner party table. Boy was I ever wrong, happily so, because this is simply a riveting, candid, and surprisingly warts-and-all look at the life and times of Stewart, someone very much in the public eye for much of her career, but until now guarding the image and the person behind what we thought we knew about her.
