Ranvir Singh's withering swipe at Brooklyn Beckham's vow renewal - and theory on why he won't change surname
Presenter Ranvir Singh has given her scathing opinion on Brooklyn Beckham's recent vow renewal with Nicola Peltz and why the eldest Beckham child has kept his surname. The budding chef, 26, and Transformers actress, 30, held a ceremony at Nicola's billionaire father's sprawling estate in Westchester County on August 2. Brooklyn's parents David and Victoria Beckham weren't at the event amid relentless rumours of a family feud and reportedly found their exclusion 'cruel and spiteful'. Brooklyn and Nicola faced backlash for the vow renewal, with some critics wondering why they were having a ceremony after just three years of marriage. Ranvir, 48, spoke with US entertainment correspondent Ross King and Woman and Home's Hannah Fernando about the high-profile ceremony on Lorraine. When Hannah mentioned Brooklyn's desire to renew his vows annually, Ranvir said bluntly: "He hasn't got a job, that's why." The Good Morning Britain presenter also addressed criticism about Brooklyn keeping his surname despite the apparent tension with the rest of his family. "There seems to be quite a lot of kickback from fans looking at it and going, 'If he feels so separated from the Beckhams, maybe he should change his surname,'' she said. Ranvir remarked: "He lives off that name essentially, that is his inheritance.' Nicola shared several photos from the ceremony on Instagram of the couple exchanging vows and partying with her friends and family afterwards. She captioned them 'only love' and 'this day meant so much to us'. The actress chose to honour her mother, Claudia, for the occasion by repurposing the dress she wore on her wedding day in 1985 while Brooklyn donned a classic black tuxedo. In the final image of Nicola's post, the couple can be seen facing each other as her father Nelson reads from a card, leading the intimate service. A source told The Sun: 'This was the final kick in the teeth for David and Victoria. Seeing Nelson having such a pivotal role at the ceremony was heartbreaking for David especially. Not one member of the 30-plus extended family knew about the wedding, or were invited.' The insider added: 'His grandparents are devastated too as Brooklyn has always been so close to them. 'It feels cruel and spiteful. This is no longer a game. It has gone beyond all that. This is a family who feel they have lost their precious boy – and see no way back.' Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in a lavish £3million ceremony in 2022, when the relationship reportedly began to sour with his parents amid tensions surrounding his marriage to the billionaire heiress. Previously, Brooklyn raised eyebrows by failing to address a series of family milestones on social media, including David's naming in the King's birthday honours, Father's Day, David's 50th birthday, Victoria's 51st birthday, and his parents' 26th wedding anniversary. Last month, Brooklyn's brothers Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, appeared to 'block' him on Instagram. The savage move came hours after Brooklyn broke his social media silence with his family to wish their sister Harper a happy 14th birthday. Sources close to Brooklyn later told The Standard that Brooklyn and Nicola were 'likely blocked' by his younger siblings. While Brooklyn and Nicola have renewed their vows, David, 50, and Victoria, 51, Beckham have been enjoying their holiday along the Italian coast and various inland excursions. They were joined by Cruz and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29.

Dad Describes What Makes Orange Cats So Unique and People Can't Stop Laughing
Dad Describes What Makes Orange Cats So Unique and People Can't Stop Laughing originally appeared on PetHelpful. If you have an orange cat at home, you know that many of them have different personalities from other cats. For some reason, they always seem to be funnier, more demanding, and far quirkier than your average cat. And people love watching and hearing about orange cat antics, as you'll see in this video that orange cat dad TikToker @renusdelph shared recently. Renus has an orange cat who loves to be held in a unique position - he likes his dad to hold him on his back so he's upside down. Make sure your sound is on so you can hear Renus describe what makes orange cats so unique; you'll be laughing by the end of the video! We can't quit laughing at how chill this cat is is! Renus' description painted the perfect mental picture, all while watching the orange cat watch down!Commenters Stories About Their Own Funny Orange Cats Viewers left some funny comments and stories about orange cats. @Enything the Gremlin was spot on when they said, "Orange is an affliction." @muchtooyoungtofeelthisdamnold added, "That's because all orange cats share a single brain cell," and @Ashuri shared, "Mine sometimes has thoughts..." We couldn't help but laugh when @Porsche said, "No thoughts. Elevator music behind eyes." @maxxfarmer63 suggested, "Try tuxedo cats, same thing." Commenter @White Trash Witch talked about her orange cat, "My orange cat is terrified of the microwave and pop top cans. They are definitely a whole other breed LOL!" @connieboren186 cracked us up with, "Little Pumpkin Trip Hazard here was feral this spring. But he got a hold of a brain cell and realized inside is not bad." Viewer @kyriemason0 made us laugh with, 'My orange is also weird. He likes to face plant the back of the couch." @GPM admitted, "I would like to trade places with him… just for a day… his level of oblivion sounds sooo nice!" It would be a great way to get away from it all! Psychology Today shared one reason why orange cats might be different from other cats, "Yet, there are other plausible reasons why orange cats may be more affectionate. The gene responsible for the orange color is sex-linked, resulting in a much higher likelihood that an orange cat will be male versus female. Although the research is far from definitive, male cats have been said to be slightly friendlier than female cats, which could explain the loving nature of orange cats." This explanation might not explain why they're so goofy, but it might explain why everybody loves them!
