Tom Cruise Rocks Out at Oasis Reunion Even Though the Gallaghers Don't Like His Movies
Cruise kept a relatively low profile at Oasis' July 25 gig at Wembley Stadium, but he was spotted by the DJ/producer Goldie, who happened to be sitting a few rows ahead of him. Cruise can be seen in the background of one video Goldie posted on social media, while the DJ also snapped a selfie with the movie star.

That Spicy Oasis Doc You Heard About? No Such Thing
While it would obviously make sense for a gigantic movie star who largely resides in London to attend one of the biggest concert events of the year, Cruise and Oasis do have a prickly history, as NME notes. Back in Oasis' 2007 tour doc, Lord Don't Slow Me Down, there's a scene in which brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher find some rare common ground, which just so happens to be roasting Cruise.
'He's a little fucker, and he's not been in one good film in his entire career,' Noel declared.
Liam then proclaimed that Cocktail was 'great,' then seemingly dismissed the (actually correct) opinions of others in the room who said Eyes Wide Shut was good, too. Liam then added, 'I hate Tom Cruise. Bastard. Him and [footballer] Michael Owen.'
If these comments ever rankled Cruise, it seems like he's gotten past them, certainly for the good of Rock & Roll. Also, for what it's worth, there was a very classically vague tabloid report in 2009 suggesting that, a couple of years after Lord Don't Slow Me Down, Cruise and Liam 'made polite conversation' after running into each other at a Berlin hotel.
Oasis have a few more shows left in London before continuing the U.K. and Ireland leg of their reunion tour. The run will touch down in North America later next month, with additional shows scheduled in Mexico, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and South America through November.

Mario Paglino, 52, and Gianni Grossi, 54, die; designers made Barbies into art
Depending on their interests, fans 'buy Barbies that have been created by Mattel, or they buy limited-edition and one-of-a-kind Barbies that doll artists make,' Kim Culmone, the head of design for dolls at Mattel, said in an interview. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up 'There are different levels of people who do this sort of work,' she added. 'And Gianni and Mario really were just a cut above.' Advertisement Mr. Paglino, a fashion designer, and Mr. Grossi, a graphic art director, were hailed by collectors for their meticulous handiwork — the ruffles and extravagant bows, the embroidery, appliqué, crystals, rhinestones, paillettes, and beading on silk, satin and tulle — as well as their unswerving attention to detail and their deep knowledge of fashion and art history. Most of the Barbies from their atelier sold for $2,000 to $3,000. One well-cloaked Barbie of their devising looked to be straight out of a Velazquez painting. Mr. Grossi and Mr. Paglino also created a line of Barbies wearing finery inspired by the works of well-known artists, including Vincent van Gogh ('Sunflowers' and 'Irises'), Piet Mondrian ('Composition With Red, Blue and Yellow'), Gustav Klimt ('Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I'), Andy Warhol ('Marilyn Diptych'), and Frida Kahlo ('The Two Fridas'). In a tribute to Jackson Pollock's 'Convergence,' they created a Barbie gown that echoed the artist's drip-painting technique. Advertisement Here and there, dresses also made subtle references to Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli. Some of Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi's creations were inspired as much by pop culture as by art. The men designed look-alike Barbies to pay tribute to show-business personalities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Victoria Beckham, Lady Gaga and Sophia Loren. They conjured several different Barbies for their favorite star, Madonna, and proudly watched from the audience of 'The Graham Norton Show' in Britain as one of the dolls was presented to her in 2012. After they died, Madonna dedicated the 40th anniversary reissue of her hit 'Dress You Up' to the designers' memory, thanking them 'for dressing up so many of your creations in Madonna iconic looks over the years,' Rolling Stone magazine reported. Gianni Grossi was born Nov. 27, 1970, and grew up in Biella, Italy, a city northeast of Turin, where his mother, Marissa Grossi, worked in the textiles industry. She survives him, as does a half sister, Luisa. Mario Paglino was born June 30, 1973, in Turin, the oldest of three sons of Maria Concetta (Albano) Paglino and Guiseppe Paglino, who ran a laundry service. They survive him, along with his brothers, Max and Matteo Paglino. For Mr. Grossi, the fascination with Barbie began early; as a child, he often played with a little girl who had several Barbie dolls, according to his family. Advertisement Matteo Paglino recalled in an email that his brother Mario's interest in Barbie dolls began as a 9-year-old. After helping with household chores and much pleading, Mario was given the coveted Barbie Dream Date doll. But when children at school taunted him, his father took the doll away. Years later, Mr. Grossi presented Mr. Paglino with the same doll, reviving his enthusiasm for Barbies. The two men met in 1997 and soon became a couple. They established their company, Magia2000, in 1999. Magia means magic in Italian; it also contains the first few letters of each founder's first name. Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi generally worked with Barbies that were made from silkstone, a composite material with a smooth, porcelainlike appearance. A blend of resin, quartz, and sand, it produces a heavier, more substantial doll than those typically found in the aisles of chain stores. (Mattel generally uses silkstone for its Barbie Fashion Model Collection, a higher-priced line aimed at adult doll collectors.) Magia2000's Barbies got a full makeover. Their factory face paint was removed, and they were given a whole new look with the aid of acrylic paint and watercolor pencils. Their hair was restyled or removed entirely and replaced with a different shade of nylon tendrils, a process called rerooting. Mr. Paglino designed and made the clothing; he also did the hairstyling. Mr. Grossi sewed the beading, embroidery, and appliqués by hand. (Swarovski crystals figured prominently.) He also handled the dolls' accessories and worked on photography and marketing for the company. The men typically produced four collections a year, each with close to 60 dolls. Among them: the Pink Collection (the name says it all); Bye, Bye, Summer 2018, an assemblage of dolls dressed in outfits from places that Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi had visited on vacation; and the Fairy Tale Collection, replete with heroines and villainesses. Advertisement 'Mario and Gianni had a very couture approach — very detailed — with impeccable gown construction, an eye for color and print and pattern, and a sense of the dramatic and theatrical,' Culmone, of Mattel, said. 'But they were also able to do very realistic interpretations of an existing person with a modern, everyday look.' The men partnered with Mattel on a handful of projects. For the toymaker's Inspiring Women project, honoring historical role models, they designed one-of-a-kind dolls to celebrate the achievements of more than a dozen American, European, South American, and Asian athletes, educators, entrepreneurs, and artists. They also made dolls for special events and exhibits, and accepted commissions. When Cheryl Burnett, a retired bank employee in suburban Houston, was celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary, she asked the couple to replicate her wedding dress and hairdo on a Barbie doll, and the tuxedo worn by her husband, Charlie, on a Ken doll. 'I'm a superfan,' Burnett said. She acquired her first Magia2000 Barbie in 2012, when she made the winning bid of $4,000 at a charity auction during the annual National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention, which took place that year in Garden Grove, Calif. The next year, when the convention was held in New Orleans, she prevailed again at the auction, paying $10,000 for Magic Carnival of Venice, a Barbie that 'looked like a Marie Antoinette type of doll,' Burnett said. Advertisement By her count, she now owns 244 Barbies made by Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi. At the convention's charity auction in 2015, in Arlington, Va., Burnett bid $15,000 for Magic Wanda, a Barbie cloaked in a blue gown with gold sequins, only to have a rival from Australia outbid her, for $15,250. 'At that point, my husband looked at me and said, 'Really?' And I said, 'OK, we'll let her have it,'' Burnett recalled. 'It's hard to describe the detail and beauty that went into those dolls,' she added. 'You know how some people collect paintings or sculpture? These Barbies are works of art.' Barbie may have been their 11½-inch-tall muse, but Mr. Paglino and Mr. Grossi also designed clothing and accessories and did the hair and makeup for other fashion dolls. In 2023, for example, they dressed 12-inch-tall figures in high-fashion outfits inspired by their home countries in collaboration with Integrity Toys, a company that specializes in collectible dolls. 'When I make dolls for Barbie,' Culmone said, 'I have a group of artists who specialize in pattern-making, embroidery, and beading. Someone else specializes in face painting. Someone else specializes in hair design. Think about the rarity of finding a pair of individuals who could take all those parts of doll — coming up with the vision, the fashion design, the pattern-making, the sample-making, the embroidery, the hair design, the hair embellishments, the shoe creation.' 'These are two people who played a big role in our community,' she added. 'Because of them, our community is better. My design team is better. Barbie is better.'

Gwyneth Paltrow's Husband Is Reportedly Spiraling Over Her Revealed Sexual Secrets
The unauthorized biography of Gwyneth Paltrow's life, career, and alleged secrets has reportedly left her longtime spouse feeling bitter! The book "Gwyneth: The Biography," written by Amy Odell, has been causing a stir thanks to the author's claims. Sources noted the actress was pissed these allegations surfaced without her authorization, while her husband, Brad Falchuk, was upset for a different reason. According to a source, the producer felt emasculated by Gwyneth Paltrow's alleged confessions about her past relationships. These claims, depicted in the book, included allegations about her sex life. Gwyneth Paltrow's Husband Allegedly Upset About The Biography's Sex Claims The source claimed the biography had negatively influenced Paltrow's relationship with her husband because it contained praises about her former partners. The biography claimed the "Iron Man" actress had raved about her highly-publicized romance with actors Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. The book alleged that Paltrow chose to star in the 1995 hit movie "Se7en" because she wanted to date Pitt, her co-star. She, per the biography, was rumored to have cheated on the actor with her "Sliding Doors" co-star John Hannah. She also labeled Pitt "dumber than a sack of sh-t" after their separation. The allegations continued, with the biography claiming Paltrow confessed that she had "major chemistry" with Pitt and enjoyed her sex life with Affleck. She allegedly praised the latter's bedroom skills, noting he was "technically excellent." The source told RadarOnline that these claims were "emasculating" for Falchuk. The Producer Reportedly Felt 'Triggered' By The Allegations The source added that it was challenging for Falchuk to stomach the claims of his wife's sex life with other men. "He can't help but feel triggered," they alleged, noting Paltrow was equally upset about the unauthorized biography. The TV personality, per the source, was pissed because "she hates being out of control like this." Before the biography allegedly ruined the rosy atmosphere between Paltrow and Falchuk, they frequently made waves for their Hollywood romance. Paltrow and Falchuk first met in 2010 on the set of "Glee" while married to their respective partners: Coldplay frontman Chris Martin and producer Suzanne Bukinik. Their love blossomed after separating from their then-spouses, with PEOPLE reporting that they secretly started dating in 2014. More About The Couple's Relationship Paltrow and Falchuk started turning heads with their relationship after the paparazzi spotted them together in the summer of 2014. They went public with their romance in August 2015, attending actor Robert Downey Jr.'s 50th birthday in Santa Monica, California. They secretly got engaged in 2017, but did not confirm the news until January 2018. They tied the knot months later on September 29, 2018, surrounded by close friends and family. The ceremony occurred in the Hamptons, New York, with Paltrow sharing pictures on her lifestyle site, Goop. The lovebirds continued to enjoy a blossoming relationship for years, with Paltrow shedding more light on their marriage in an April 2025 episode of "The Goop Podcast." She claimed their "only fight" was about prioritizing their children before their marriage. The Goop Founder Was Allegedly A Mean Girl Besides the sex claims, Odell's book contained more wild comments about Paltrow, including mean girl allegations. The Blast covered the story, reporting that the biography painted the actress as someone who built her career by stepping on others. The biography alleged that one of Paltrow's former classmates at a private school in New York described her character as "polarizing." They claimed people were both terrified and in awe of Paltrow, with some looking up to her as a role model. Odell alleged Paltrow gained her savage yet beloved reputation by tearing others down, including fat-shaming a former classmate. The author claimed her infamy extended to her staff, with her Goop employees reportedly "more cautious than Anna Wintour's ex-staffers" because they feared Paltrow's retaliation. Gwyneth Paltrow Was Reportedly Bitter About Jennifer Aniston's Relationship With Her Ex Another excerpt from the biography covered Paltrow's alleged bitter reaction to her ex-boyfriend's marriage to Jennifer Aniston. The Blast reported that Odell claimed she was upset about Pitt's union to the "Friends" star, backing this allegation with her response to a reporter's query. Odell claimed Paltrow was asked about Pitt's marriage to Aniston while promoting "Duets" at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2000. She allegedly responded to the reporter coldly, saying, "I can't comment on this kind of thing." The author added that Paltrow said worse behind closed doors, allegedly telling her friends that Pitt had "terrible taste in women." During their relationship, Paltrow and Pitt got engaged in 1996, but Odell claimed their union fell apart because the actress believed the actor was "threatened" by her success. Will the unauthorized biography cause more problems for Gwyneth Paltrow?

At 12:12 a.m. ET on Aug. 12, Taylor Swift revealed her forthcoming 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. The set will surely be another Billboard chart behemoth for the superstar, kicking off her next era in a chart career that began 19 years ago.

Her 59 top 10s and 165 top 40 hits (of which 'Tim McGraw' became her first, rising to No. 40) are also the most among women, while her 12 No. 1s place her in a tie for the sixth-most leaders among all acts.

A year later, Swift achieved the unprecedented feat of monopolizing the Hot 100's top 10 in a single frame, as, on the chart dated Nov. 5, 2022, she infused the region with 10 tracks from her 2022 album Midnights, led by the No. 1 launch of the set's lead single, 'Anti-Hero.'

Plus, when she was unable to reclaim the masters of her first six albums, she forged a new path by re-recording her catalog, and earning even more chart honors in the process, including her 2023 Hot 100 No. 1 'Is It Over Now?

'All Too Well (Taylor's Version)' When Swift rerecorded her 2012 LP Red in 2021 as Red (Taylor's Version), she expanded 'All Too Well' to its original 10-minute length.

'22' The Swift/Max Martin collab '22' was the sixth Red single to hit the Hot 100's top 20, peaking at No. 20. 32. '…Ready for It?'

'Lover' The title track from Swift's seventh studio album, released in 2019, found strong public reception after a performance on that year's MTV Video Music Awards.

'Back to December' Rumored to be about Swift's short-lived relationship with Taylor Lautner, the ballad entered and crested at No. 6 on the Hot 100 in 2010. 23. 'Lavender Haze' The loved-up opening Midnights song peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100. 22. 'Delicate' The fourth Reputation single, a gentle, enveloping midtempo ballad, stood in stark contrast with its three immediate predecessors. The switch-up had welcome results, cruising to No. 12 on the Hot 100 while slowly but steadily rising to top of the Pop Airplay chart. 21. 'Me!' feat. Brendon Urie A 180-degree turn from the dark Reputation, 'Me!' is a bouncy, celebratory track that finds Swift at her most saccharine sweet alongside Panic! at The Disco frontman Brendon Urie. The pair's collab, the lead single from Swift's 2019 album Lover, surged to No. 2 on the Hot 100. 20. 'You Need To Calm Down'As Swift advocated for Democratic political causes in late 2018, the singer infused an overt political tone into her songs for the first time with this 2019 Lover cut. Its lyrics supported LGBTQ causes, feminism and self-empowerment, and secured a No. 2 Hot 100 hit for the singer's resume. The video, with many LGBTQ stars making cameos, also ended a multi-year feud with Katy Perry, as the two reunite and embrace in the clip. 19. 'Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) [From the Vault]' 'Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) [From the Vault]' from 1989 (Taylor's Version) hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 in November 2023. 18. 'Our Song' Swift's third single, released in 2007, climbed to No. 16 on the Hot 100 and became her first of nine No. 1s to date on Hot Country Songs. 17. 'Fortnight' feat. Post Malone Chart fans surely appreciate that the lead single from 2024's The Tortured Poets Department spent, fittingly per its title, two weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100. 16. 'Karma' feat. Ice Spice Boosted by a remix and music video featuring Ice Spice, this Midnights single peaked at No. 2 in June 2023. 15. 'Teardrops on My Guitar' Swift's breakout pop crossover single peaked at No. 13 on the Hot 100 in 2008. 14. 'Mine' The lead single off Speak Now — a rollicking country breakup song — made a No. 3 splash on the Hot 100 in 2010. 13. 'Look What You Made Me Do'The lead single from Swift's fifth No. 1 Billboard 200 album, Reputation, likewise became her fifth No. 1 song on the Hot 100, reaching the summit in September 2017. 12. 'Style' Entering the chart after Swift performed the track at the 2014 Victoria's Secret fashion show, the third single from 1989 peaked at No. 6. 11. 'Wildest Dreams'The chemistry of Swift, Max Martin and Shellback remained infallible with 'Wildest Dreams,' which peaked at No. 5 on the Hot 100 in November 2015. 10. 'I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)' with Zayn Swift released the brooding Zayn duet as her first post-1989 single. The Fifty Shades Darker song rose to No. 2 on the Hot 100 in March 2017. 9. 'Bad Blood' feat. Kendrick Lamar Fueled by a #squad-flaunting video (and a highly anticipated appearance by Kendrick Lamar), Swift's diss track hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for one week following the clip's debut at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. 8. 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'Swift's first Hot 100 No. 1, the critically-acclaimed single confirmed Swift's crossover appeal, staying at the top for three weeks following its 2012 release. 7. 'I Knew You Were Trouble.' The irresistible anthem from Red debuted at No. 3 on the Hot 100 in October 2012, eventually peaking at No. 2. 6. 'Love Story'The melodic masterpiece, and fairytale-themed lead single off Fearless, peaked at No. 4 on the Hot 100 in 2009. 5. 'Blank Space' Swift became the first woman to replace herself at No. 1 on the Hot 100, as the second single off 1989 dethroned 'Shake It Off.' 'Blank Space' spent seven weeks on top in 2014-15. 4. 'You Belong With Me' The monster crossover hit dominated airwaves in 2009, peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100. It also became the first country song to top the all-genre Radio Songs chart (after 'Love Story' had reached No. 2) since its start in 1990. 3. 'Anti-Hero' The lead single off Midnights debuted atop the Hot 100, and remained there for six weeks until Mariah Carey's seasonal classic, 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' bumped it from the summit on the chart dated Dec. 17, 2022. It later returned to the top and clocked an additional two weeks in the reigning spot. 2. 'Cruel Summer' 'Cruel Summer' got the single treatment four years after its original release on Swift's 2019 album Lover — but that delay didn't stop it from becoming one of the star's biggest songs to date. In October 2023, the song finally topped the Hot 100. 1. 'Shake It Off'Swift's devil-may-care anthem found her unabashedly looking for pop dominance, and she found it: The single debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and posted four weeks at the top. Plus, its nearly six-month stay in the top 10 alone plays a major role in its status as Swift's biggest charting single in a career with a multitude of milestones.
