Charli XCX and George Daniel 'set for Sicily wedding'
The 360 hitmaker and The 1975 drummer are said to have chosen to tie the knot on the Mediterranean island later this year and have a lavish ceremony in the pipeline.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there.
"It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising.
"Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night."
The source added: "They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day.
"It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do'. Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife."
Charli revealed earlier this year that she is relaxed about her wedding plans and says that she and George "just want to have a party".
The 32-year-old singer said: "We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party.
"Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.
"We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends."
Meanwhile, Charli recently bit back at the "boomer vibe" criticism of her headline performance on The Other Stage at the Glastonbury Festival last month and rubbished suggestions that her use of autotune makes her a "fraud".
Posting on X, the Apple singer wrote: "Really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on Glastonbury performance. It's super fascinating to me.
"Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx
"But to be honest… i enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable."

Brat star Charli XCX confirms marriage to the 1975 drummer George Daniel
Brat star Charli XCX has confirmed her marriage to fiance and The 1975 drummer George Daniel. The 32-year-old, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, could be seen wearing her wedding dress, and the dark sunglasses she has become known for following the release of her latest album, in a post on TikTok. The TikTok read: "When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle." Charli confirmed in the caption that "luckily" the 35-year-old drummer did cry. In a separate post captioned "bridal party energy" Daniel could be seen wearing his wife's veil, while The Dare, who produced Charli's track Guess and whose real name is Harrison Smith, could also be seen at the party. The wedding reportedly took place at Hackney Town Hall in London on Saturday, with the pair being spotted taking pictures with friends and family outside the venue, on social media. The pair first shared photos of their engagement in 2023, and have worked together on a number of occasions, collaborating on Charli's track Spinning, before Daniel was credited as a co-producer and co-writer on two songs on Brat. Daniel has also performed the viral "Apple dance" at one of his wife's London shows. Following the release of the Brat album, Charli's infectious electronic-pop tracks soared up the charts and inspired a trend, with fans embracing the "Brat summer" cultural movement. The accolades followed, and in March she dominated the Brit Awards, winning five categories including songwriter of the year. She also secured album of the year, artist of the year, dance act, and song of the year for a version of her track Guess featuring Billie Eilish. In February she picked up three awards at the Grammys and she was named songwriter of the year at The Ivors in May.

Charli XCX shares glimpse of wild wedding after-party
Charli XCX has shared a glimpse into her wild wedding after-party. The 32-year-old singer married the 1975's drummer George Daniel, 35, on Saturday (19.07.25) in east London, joined by close friends and family members, including his bandmates Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald. She haw now given fans a look at the bash that followed in a video she posted on TikTok, featuring her in a white dress and her new husband topless in one moment from the footage. In her caption alongside the footage, she joked: 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle', before adding: 'Luckily did'. Later in the night of her wedding, Charli changed into a second outfit — a £3,300 Nova Cora white dress — for a party with pals at Ellie's bar in Dalston. She and George exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony before making their way down Hackney High Street to Italian restaurant Dalla. According to The Sun, the venue was closed exclusively for the wedding party and there were only around 20 guests. Charli's party pals dined alfresco on pasta and champagne, and were seen smoking outside ahead of the meal. A source told The Sun: 'Charli and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla.' Charli's wedding band, which complements her classic solitaire engagement ring, also attracted attention. Jewellery expert Laura Taylor of Lorel Diamonds told MailOnline: 'Charli's wedding band is where she's really made it her own... it's chunky and very different to the delicate bands you usually see paired with solitaires.' She valued the piece between £8,000 and £10,000. Charli's parents, Jon and Shameera Aitchison, were photographed posing with the newlyweds during their nuptials, to which George wore a dark double-breasted suit with a pale open-collared shirt and a boutonnière matching Charli's bouquet. News of the pair's engagement first emerged in 2023, with The Sun reporting George had proposed. In February 2024, sources said the couple had travelled to Italy to scout locations for their main celebration. Earlier this month, it was reported Charli and George had chosen Sicily as the location for their second, larger wedding later this year. A source told The Sun: 'This was the formal wedding and the big event is happening in a few months. 'Charli and George had the most perfect day in London. It was everything they wanted it to be — relaxed, informal and fun.'

Michael Madsen feared to have been worth as little as $400,000 at time of death
Michael Madsen may have been worth as little as $400,000 at the time of his death. The actor's finances are in the spotlight after a string of celebrity net worth sites updated their estimates of how much cash he had put away in the wake of his death aged 67 at his Malibu home on 3 July. Despite earning recognition for his roles in Quentin Tarantino films and more than 300 acting credits, Michael's net worth is said to be nowhere near what fans thought, with the sites estimating it was anywhere between $400,000 and $4 million. Legal website Trust Counsel have backed up the low estimates of his final worth by publishing an article headlined: 'Michael Madsen's Financials at Death Prove that Fame Doesn't Always Equal Wealth'. It reported: 'When someone as famous and lauded in the industry as Madsen passes, it's easy to believe that they pass with some sort of mass lump sum of wealth, that will now pass onto their loved ones. 'Unfortunately, that isn't always the case, and it isn't here: Madsen actually struggled to build financial stability not just throughout his lifetime, but even in his final days, and looking into his checkered financial past is a huge lesson on what it really means to leave a legacy.' Michael's life was blighted by financial troubles, which began as early as 2009 when he filed for bankruptcy, citing debts including $1 million and $25,000. This was just two years after he sold a Malibu home, reportedly netting nearly $8 million. Following this, Michael repeatedly appeared on California's list of top tax delinquents, owing $640,000 to the IRS before settling the debt. Legal issues and housing instability marked his later years. In 2022, Michael was arrested for trespassing on a property from which he had been evicted but remained due to a COVID-era eviction moratorium. In his final days, a source told The Sun Michael was 'scared of losing the house again' and was attempting to sell old cars and take on multiple projects to recover financially. He had been involved in 18 unreleased projects, seeking steady work and income. Michael's personal life was also turbulent. The suicide of his son Hudson in 2022 triggered legal battles and false domestic violence accusations. He spent time in rehab, which contributed to his ongoing financial instability. According to a death certificate published by TMZ, the Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs star died of cardiac arrest caused by cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and chronic alcoholism. The certificate also noted thromboembolic disease.
