A-list Brit star, 31, spotted on secret date with stunning model just weeks after split from Doja Cat
Ellie Henman, Bizarre Editor Published: Invalid Date, AFTER splitting from American singer Doja Cat earlier this year, Joseph Quinn – aka the Human Torch – has been busy swiping on dating app Raya. And it seems the hunt for a new flame has landed him a glamorous admirer. 9 9 9 Joe, whose new film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, is out now, was photographed on a night out with model Amelia Zerbe at Chateau Marmont in LA. An onlooker told me: 'Joseph and Amelia were really low key and, when they left, they made sure they went separately. 'He went ahead and got into the car before Amelia joined him. 'It seemed like they were on a date, but were keen not for anyone to notice them.' Given how public his romance with Doja was, I'm not surprised Joe is keen to keep things on the low. His life will soon turn completely upside down when he starts filming Sam Mendes' Beatles films. The director will create four films based on the lives of George Harrison Sir Paul Mccartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon. While Joe is playing George, Paul Mescal will be McCartney, Harris Dickinson is set to portray John and Barry Keoghan has signed up as Ringo. Barry has already spent six months in a Beatles bootcamp learning how to drum like Ringo. And Joe admitted he's also been hard at it for the past month or so. He said: 'We've had five weeks of rehearsal. It's a fascinating process. 'Being around those guys, Paul, Barry and Harris, I think that they are very deeply talented men, thoughtful men, good, hard workers. 'I'm very inspired by them and we're all kind of going through this process together. 'There's more work to be done but I'll get back to it soon.' Joe will return to rehearsals for the Beatles film later this summer, with the four lads expected to start filming at the end of the year. Given how hectic his schedule is, he deserves a medal if he manages to keep a steady girlfriend at the same time. Maybe the Human Torch has a burning desire to make it work . . . 9 Bizbit THE brains behind Busted, The Vamps and Mcfly are looking for rising stars to join their roster. The industry bigwigs have launched a call-out for singers, songwriters, actors and musicians, as well as up-and-coming social media stars, who need a hand breaking into the business. If you think you've got what it takes, or know someone who does, head to to apply. TAIKA LOOK AT RITA IT was all white on the night for Rita Ora as she belted out her hits wearing this tiny playsuit. She wowed at the Summer Gala by Gala One Saint-Tropez in France, watched by her proud husband Taika Waititi. 9 Rita previously admitted to Bizarre she is 'nervous' about releasing her fourth album. But If it sounds as good as she looks on stage, she'll have nothing to worry about. OASIS: IT'S CIGS AT GIGS OASIS fever is never-ending, with the band preparing to play their second show at London's Wembley Stadium tonight. And Noel and Liam Gallagher are keen to keep it going, after dropping a live version of their 1994 hit Cigarettes & Alcohol, which was recorded during their July 11 show at Heaton Park in Manchester. 9 And insiders tell me the pair will definitely be releasing a live album of their entire set list, so fans can relive the magic of the concerts once they're over. A source said: 'The Oasis reunion is a historic moment in music and these concerts will be talked about for decades to come. 'The band are sounding amazing and they've decided it simply has to be captured as a moment in time. "There will be more singles released before the album drops.' Oasis's only previous live album was Familiar To Millions, which was released in November 2000 after it was recorded at a huge concert at Wembley Stadium in July that year. As a solo artist, Liam has released three live albums – MTV Unplugged (Live At Hull City Hall), Down By The River Thames – which captured his performance on a barge on the river in December 2020 – and Knebworth 22, recording his triumphant return to the site of Oasis's legendary 1996 open- air shows at the Hertfordshire country house. If you've not yet downloaded the live version of Cigarettes & Alcohol, I would highly recommend doing it. And make sure you turn the volume right up. Your neighbours will be sure to love it. Bizbit NINETIES heart-throb Kavana had a time when he was living every gay guy's dream. The I Can Make You Feel Good singer has revealed he once found himself dating one of Madonna 's dancers and partying with Kylie Minogue. Speaking on Virgin Radio Pride, Kavana, above, whose new book Pop Scars is out now, said: 'I did actually go out with one of Madonna's dancers at one point. 'We had a long-distance affair from Rome to LA. Oh my God, that first heartbreak. 'He invited me to watch Madonna in Camden. I got put next to Kylie. "So I'm sat next to Kylie Minogue watching Madonna. I mean, could it get any more iconic?' The singer admitted he tried to make small talk with Kylie but ended up embarrassing himself. Don't worry, Kav – us on Bizarre have had our fair share of awkward celeb encounters, too. HAVE A NICE STAY, CHRISTINA FROM visiting some of the best museums in the world to strolling along the Thames or just grabbing some top grub, there are loads of things to do during a trip to London. But Christina Aguilera had other ideas during a fleeting visit this week. 9 Instead, she decided to make the most of her lavish hotel room to stage an impromptu photoshoot in just her underwear. The Beautiful singer wore black lingerie and heels as she reclined on a table for a sultry snap which she shared on Instagram. If I looked like her, I'd be doing the same. Bizbit RENEE RAPP has announced her biggest European tour to date ahead of the release of her second album, Bite Me, next week. As part of the jaunt next year, the US singer, inset, will stop at Manchester's AO Arena on March 18, followed by London's Wembley Arena on March 19. Tickets on sale at 10am on Friday. LINDSAY'S GETTING SERIOUS LINDSAY LOHAN wants to take on serious acting roles after years of starring in rom-coms. The actress – back on the big screen next month in Freakier Friday, the sequel to her 2003 hit Freaky Friday – has earned a fortune by starring in three romantic comedies on Netflix. 9 But Lindsay said: 'I'd like to take on some serious dramatic roles. 'I love doing romantic comedy because that's where my home is and I feel it's where my fans want to see me, but I'd like to take on some things that are different. 'Maybe find something that's an action-packed film. Just really show people a different side of me.' CHANGES FOR OZZY PAL 'BLUD YUNGBLUD has vowed to cover Black Sabbath's Changes at every gig he ever performs as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. The singer, who played the track at Ozzy's final concert three weeks ago, said he's been left 'f***ing shattered' by the death of the heavy metal icon but wants to champion his legacy. 9 Yungblud wrote on Instagram: 'I promise you with all my heart I will try my best and make it my life's journey to keep the spirit that you started and what you have taught me alive. 'To sing this song for you at an event surrounded by legends inspired by you to a crowd that loved you was truly my life's greatest honour and I vow to play this song every night for the rest of my life. 'You're my hero in every regard.'

Harry and Meghan's Netflix film ‘risks being scrapped'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's £2.2 million ($3 million) film adaptation of a romance novel is on the verge of being scrapped, according to reports. Little progress has been made on the Netflix adaptation of Meet Me at the Lake, Carley Fortune's hit romance novel, since the Sussexes secured the rights to produce the film in 2023. However two years later, the project does not have a director and is nowhere close to choosing the cast, the New York Post reported. It comes after the Duchess of Sussex apparently abandoned her Confessions of Female Founder podcast after just 11 episodes. Her previous podcast with Spotify, Archetypes, was not renewed after its first season. The reports come ahead of the end of the £74 million deal between Netflix and the pair, which expires in September this year. The New York Post claimed that more TV projects were forthcoming between Harry and Meghan's company, Archewell, and Netflix. But a Netflix source cited by the Daily Mail said that the company was counting down the days for the deal to expire because Meghan's last TV show, With Love, Meghan, was a ratings disaster. The first season of the show ranked 383rd on the streaming service, with 5.3 million views since its debut in March, a figure Hollywood trade bible Variety called 'very low'. The second season, which has already been filmed, is set to air later this year. The source said: 'This deal is dead. She (Meghan) had everything going for her - name, platform, press - and the numbers were dismal. 'They're just waiting for the credits to roll. They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new'. When the adaptation of Meet Me At The Lake was announced, Ms Fortune gushed about it on social media, writing she was 'so thrilled' to be working with the Sussexes and Netflix. Ms Fortune said she couldn't imagine a 'more perfect partnership' to bring the characters in the book to screen. At the time, commentators drew parallels between the book's plot and Harry and Meghan's love story as they both feature a whirlwind romance, and one of the protagonists lost a parent in a car crash. But now, after a two-year delay, a Hollywood insider quoted by the New York Post said: 'By this point, you would have thought they would have got a director on board and a cast. So, what is the delay? 'And when you make something for Netflix, it takes a long time for it to actually hit the streamer - there is so much to do in post production, to make sure it's ready for every country. If the deal is up this year, then when is this film going to be made?' Another potential Archewell project, a documentary about Africa, may not come to fruition either. The insider said: 'What's the betting that neither of these projects will see the light of day?' Harry and Meghan's biggest success with Netflix remains their documentary Harry & Meghan, in which the couple told the story of their romance and departure from the Royal Family. The show debuted in December 2022 and amassed 81.5 million viewing hours, making it the highest documentary premiere in Netflix's history. The insider said: 'Let's be honest... Netflix got what they really wanted out of the Sussexes - their documentary'. The Telegraph has contacted representatives for the Sussexes, Ms Fortune and Lemonada Media, which hosts the Duchess' podcast, for comment.

Gogglebox star to make first TV return since 'devastating' divorce on huge dating show
Gogglebox star Daniel Lustig-Webb is set to appear on Channel 4's First Dates - marking his first TV appearance since his 'devastating' divorce from co-star Stephen Webb Channel 4's First Dates has seen its fair share of reality stars enter the doors of its restaurants over the years, from Michael Fabricant to Lauren Simon. However, now one particular Gogglebox star is set to make his debut on the show - marking his first TV appearance since becoming single. Former Gogglebox star Daniel Lustig-Webb is set to appear on Channel 4's First Dates - with the ex reality star featured in the show's opening credits this series. Daniel, 50, was married to his Gogglebox co-star Stephen Lustig-Webb for six years until their divorce in April last year. Opening up about the split, Daniel told the Suddenly Single podcast that it was "devastating" and "traumatic", while the Channel 4 star recently told The Mirror that his love life was "complicated" with him still living with Stephen. 'If I'm going on a date, I'm a bit sheepish about it. I'll say I'm going to meet a friend but Stephen can just read me. He'll say, 'Don't wear that.' I can't bring anyone to the house so it's a little bit different – but we make it work.' Now, Stephen will be getting back out onto the dating scene by appearing on Channel 4's First Dates. Hosted by Fred Sirieix, the long-running series tends to see ordinary people head on blind dates at a restaurant run by the French maître d'hôtel. The Mirror understands that Daniel will be appearing in a future series of the show. Stephen teased his upcoming First Dating appearance in a chat with The Mirror earlier this year. He said: "I did do something to do with dating that's coming out next year, but I can't talk about that." He's following in the footsteps of his ex Stephen, who appeared on the last series of Celebs Go Dating. The hairdresser took part in the show with Love Island's Chris Taylor, Corrie star Helen Flanagan, MAFS star Ella Morgan, singer Jamelia, influencer Lauryn Goodman and Made In Chelsea's Tristan Phipps. Speaking about filming the show last year, Stephen revealed that he was called out by experts Paul Carrick Brunson, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn over his behaviour."I did get called out on a bad habit," he told The Mirror in an exclusive chat. "I was asked to look at [my behaviour] in a different way, still do it, but tweak it."
