Manori Ravindran International Editor “Monty Python” star John Cleese is set to host a regular show on right-wing news channel GB News next year. The 82-year-old actor revealed his new project on BBC Radio 4’s popular “Today” program on Monday morning. “I was approached and I didn’t know who they were,” said Cleese of GB News, which set up shop in Britain in 2021. “I don’t know much about modern television because I’ve pretty much given up on it — I mean, English television. Then, I met one or two of the people concerned and had a dinner with them and I liked them very much. “What they said was, ‘People say it’s a right-wing channel, but it’s a free speech channel,’” explained Cleese, who is working on the show with political satirist and comedian Andrew Doyle.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic If Hollywood can justify making sequels to “Rambo” and “Top Gun” more than three decades on, why can’t Kollywood do the same? In tons-of-fun “Vikram,” a secret agent first introduced in 1986 emerges from deep undercover to thwart the biggest drug deal in Indian history. He’s a grandfather now, but that doesn’t stop the title character (Kamal Haasan) from tossing people across the room in this turbo-charged, three-hour action bonanza, which pairs Vikram with a younger operative named Amar (Fahadh Faasil). The two have at least one thing in common: Rules and regulations don’t matter, which means they’re free to fight crime as creatively as they (and director Lokesh Kanagaraj) see fit.

X Factor star Stacey Solomon, 33, has described how one particular habit Joe Swash, 40, has as a parent that leaves her “infuriated”.The star then went on to share that, in spite of this, it was Joe’s approach to parenting that made her fall in love with him. Stacey opened up about her parenting style on the podcast Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's Parenting Hell a couple of weeks ago. Rob asked Stacey to name the “one thing Joe does that infuriates you with the kids”, as well as the “one thing she loves most” about him as a parent. Stacey is the host of BBC show Sort Your Life Out, where she revamps cluttered homes in the UK with her team in order to change the way families live for the better. Speaking to Rob and Josh about husband Joe, she explained: “The one thing that he does that infuriates me is that he loves to get… stuff. “I hate getting my kids stuff for no reason - unless it’s like a birthday, bar mitzvah or whatever, why are they getting stuff?

Do you hate me? What is this?’”Rob then went on to quiz Stacey on whether her grievance was more about the clutter or whether she was worried about her kids being spoiled. “It’s a combination of the two,” she explained.
