Kim Wilde joins the line-up for Bristol Pride
Wilde joins previously announced acts such as , Ultra Naté and Tom Rasmussen who will all perform on Pride Day, 12 July. And with another headline act still yet to be announced, it looks like it's going to be another stellar year for the festival.
Drag Race favourite Brooke Lynn Hytes is also expected to headline the festival's Cabaret stage.

'We are absolutely over the moon to announce Kim Wilde performing at this year's festival. Kim is a true icon, shaping the British music scene and is the one of the most successful UK female artists,' said Daryn Carter MBE, Pride Director. 'I can think of nobody more deserving to be our Afternoon Legend and It's an honour to have her performing with us, I know this will be a very special performance as we present our biggest ever lineup for the festival.'
Wilde is best remembered for her indelible 80s hits 'Kids In America' and 'You Keep Me Hangin On'. Since bursting onto the scene in 1981 she has sold over 30 million records. Earlier this year she released her 15th studio album Closer.
Speaking of her return to music to last year, Wilde commented: ''I just thought the audience would want the 1980s version of Kim, the 21-year-old pouting away and strutting her stuff. I didn't think they would want to see a middle-aged woman with a mortgage and kids and dogs. And there's a little bit more of me than there was in the 1980s.
'I just didn't think people were still listening to Kids In America. I didn't realise how much people loved hearing all the old songs and now nearly 20 years later the whole 80s phenomena seems to get even stronger.'

Emma Corrin Knows They Play All Your Favorites
While the couch is comfortable—something that would typically hypnotize me into a nap, especially right off the plane—Corrin's energy is bright and engaging while we discuss their work with Miu Miu. 'In the latter half of my 20s, I was doing so much growing as a person," the British-born actor says. 'The brand has really listened to me, and sees me as an individual. I instinctively feel like that's quite unique and quite special.' Master perfumer Dominique Ropion created Miutine (a play on the word mutine, or rebellion) as a subversion of the incredibly popular gourmand fragrance category. 'I started from a classic and I twisted it with a surprising resonance, a harmony of mischievous freshness and opulent sensuality,' he says. The opening is a note of Mara des Bois, a wild strawberry grown in France, with olfactive twists and turns that include bourbon vanilla extract and patchouli, as well as a tiny hint of jasmine. The first time I get a whiff is when Corrin passes me the vintage-style flacon. Sweet, but not overpowering. That's also when I notice a thick band on their pointer finger, which signals to me a single thing: 'Oura ring?' I ask, like I'm speaking a secret language of wellness trackers. 'Yes, I just started wearing it,' they confess. 'I'm not really into wellness, and this is my entry point.' Last night, my sleep score was 11, I bemoan. When it comes to beauty and wellness in general, Corrin says they a 'very much a less is more person.' Their skincare routine includes the Lyma laser (a clinical-level cold laser that was available in the UK long before it came to the US a few years ago) and at-home facials, but the approach to makeup is mostly on-set. 'No one around me really wore a lot of makeup, so I'm a real novice when it comes to that.' It's the ethos behind Miutine that influenced Corrin to add it to their minimalist beauty routine. 'They want it to be a scent that champions individuality, irreverence, fun, rule-breaking, and mischievousness,' she reflects. 'To try and put that in a bottle is quite a challenge, and to actually make it sing for those things.' Miu Miu Beauty's take on these feelings isn't like the old-school fragrance commercials—running off a cliff and jumping into the ocean, driving a car through a winding road—but instead it's more like the time we have spent together today, a close conversation with a friend (or stranger) in a library.

I had dinner for 2 at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill. For $160, we thought it was a great value.
I recently dined with a friend at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The British-themed atmosphere was fun, and the appetizers blew us away. However, I'd skip the burger and go for a more classic entrée next time. I grew up in the United Kingdom, so I know my way around a classic British pub. When I learned that Gordon Ramsay has his own pub in the heart of Atlantic City, New Jersey, I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about how authentic the experience could be. Could it truly capture the smell of cheap beer, rustic interiors, and classic pub grub I'm used to? Still, I was eager to see for myself on a recent girls' trip. Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill has two locations, one in Las Vegas and one in Atlantic City. With a big celebrity name and reputation as one of Britain's most famous chef exports, we had high expectations leading up to our meal. We left feeling satisfied and downright charmed by the British-themed atmosphere and jolly-good appetizers, but I left royally disappointed in my burger entrée. Here's what our experience was like dining at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill in Atlantic City. Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill is located right in the heart of Caesars Atlantic City. I took an escalator up from the street level to the main floor of the casino and found that the restaurant was impossible to miss. Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill is located directly across from Caesar's coin fountain and is framed by large Grecian pillars, giving it more of a Parthenon vibe than that of a traditional British pub. We could see the hotel's giant statue of Caesar and the coin fountain from our table. Ramsay has three restaurants in Atlantic City: Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, Gordon Ramsay Steak, and Hell's Kitchen. Hell's Kitchen and the pub are both located inside Caesars Atlantic City, meaning it would be easy to dine at both during your trip if you were staying at the resort. There are different dining areas inside Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill. The restaurant is split into three main sections: a dining area with booths and tables overlooking the Caesars lobby, a lively bar, and a quieter side room with more secluded booths. The bar was by far the busiest when we visited at 7 p.m. on a Thursday — it was buzzing with conversation and clinking glasses. Many of the guests didn't seem to be eating dinner, but rather just grabbing a drink. The pillars out front might have given off a Grecian vibe, but inside, the decor was packed with British touches. In the main dining area, I was immersed in British flair, from a sweeping Buckingham Palace mural to silhouettes of stoic royal guards flanking the red booths. Of all the Gordon Ramsay restaurants I visited in Atlantic City — including Gordon Ramsay Steak and Hell's Kitchen — this one leaned the hardest into its British theme. The menu also reflected the British theme, with classic dishes like beef Wellington, fish and chips, and shepherd's pie. There was a mix of luxe red booths and tables with chairs. The booths had an upscale pub vibe and looked invitingly comfortable. We were seated at a two-top in the back, with a view of Caesars' main lobby. The chatter of fellow diners and the flow of people passing through the lobby gave the restaurant a lively, energetic atmosphere. The restaurant had a large selection of signature cocktails. Many of the signature cocktails embraced the British theme, sporting names like "Mind the Gap" ($17.99) and "Lost in Great Britain" ($17.99). I ordered the Lost in Great Britain, a blackberry spritz with tequila and lemon-honey syrup. My friend ordered the Mind the Gap, which was made with vodka, St-Germain elderflower liqueur, lime, ginger beer, and passion fruit. We liked the presentation of both cocktails and felt they were decently priced for the quality of the ingredients and liquor used. My cocktail was light and refreshing, but with a slight tartness from the blackberry syrup. The tartness of the blackberry cut through the sweetness of the lemon-honey syrup, and it paired well with all of the dishes we tried. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower as our appetizer. The Buffalo cauliflower ($17.99) came in a large portion with a side of blue cheese dressing for dipping. It was a fun play on the classic bar food Buffalo wings, but felt slightly more elevated. We couldn't stop eating this appetizer. The cauliflower was fried to golden perfection in a light, airy tempura batter. The Buffalo sauce brought just the right amount of heat, which was mellowed by the creamy richness of blue cheese crumbles. A tangy extra side of blue cheese sauce added another layer of flavor, tying everything together into a dish that was bold, balanced, and seriously addictive. It was more than enough to satisfy two people, yet we were still disappointed when we finally cleaned the plate. I ordered the most classic burger on the menu. The pub's dinner menu offers three burger choices. The burger menu includes the Idiot Burger ($21.99), topped with white cheddar, gruyere, cremini mushrooms, spicy tomato chutney, and braised short ribs; the Blue Cheese Burger ($21.99), with spicy aioli, Bibb lettuce, frisée, onions, and blue cheese dressing; and the Pub Burger ($21.99) — my pick for the evening. The Pub Burger came topped with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, pickles, and bacon. It was the most traditional burger on the menu, though it featured a few elevated touches like a prime sirloin patty and a red wine glaze. The burger wasn't anything to cross the pond for. A crisp lettuce leaf and two thick tomato slices topped the burger, while Farmhouse English cheddar blanketed the patty. A few strips of bacon struck the perfect balance between crispy and chewy. It was a solid, classic burger with a juicy patty and fresh toppings, though I found myself wishing for an extra flourish — maybe a savory special sauce or a sharper cheese. For what it was, it delivered, but it reminded me of burgers I've had at chain restaurants like Chili's or Applebee's, which usually come at a slightly lower price. In the end, this burger left me feeling like I'd had a jolly decent meal, but not one worth crossing the pond (or the casino floor) for. I was really impressed by the fries that came with my burger. Crispy and perfectly seasoned, the fries arrived wrapped in newspaper-printed paper. I loved the presentation, which really captured the charm of a classic British chip shop. We also ordered a side of baked mac and cheese to share. The baked mac and cheese ($15.99) came in a red ramekin dish, in keeping with the pub's British theme. The mac and cheese is made with cellentani pasta and English Farmhouse cheddar, the same cheese used on my burger. The mac and cheese was rich and flavorful. The smattering of breadcrumbs and chives on top of the mac and cheese enhanced the cheese's flavor, coating every noodle. We also thought it was a generous portion, but we felt the price was a little steep for a side dish. It was enough for a shared side, but we wouldn't recommend ordering it as an entrée — it might not be big enough to truly satisfy. My friend ordered the chicken Milanese as her entrée. The chicken Milanese ($34.99) was served with Dijon cream sauce, gruyère cheese, arugula, and a grain mustard vinaigrette. My friend said that although the dish was simple, it was "phenomenal" and one of the best chicken dishes she's ever had at a chain restaurant. She said the mustard vinaigrette added a delicious tart flavor to the juicy chicken breast, and the arugula was well-dressed without being too soggy. The cheese was sharp without being overbearing, and the chicken was well-fried with an airy panko breading that gave the dish a lighter feel. Overall, she said she'd definitely order this dish again. I would go back to Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, but I'd order a different entrée. With tip and tax, the total cost of our meal came to $162.43 for two entrées, one appetizer, a side dish, and two cocktails. While I was impressed by the refreshing cocktails, mouthwatering Buffalo cauliflower, and creamy mac-and-cheese side dish, I was left feeling underwhelmed by my burger. If I were to return, I'd probably opt for a more decadent burger with more interesting toppings, or one of the restaurant's signature British dishes like fish and chips or the beef Wellington. Overall, if you're looking for a crowd-pleasing restaurant at a relatively affordable price in Atlantic City, Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill fits the bill.
