Are Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson actually dating?
In what could simply be a determined bit of marketing for their new comedy film The Naked Gun, which is released on August 1, the Baywatch star and Taken actor seem to have as much off screen chemistry as they do on.
For a new interview with You Magazine, the pair were reported to be 'all over each other' in a photoshoot when given props and some creative freedom to pose for pictures together.
In the interview, Liam confessed that his favourite part of filming were 'the sex scenes' with Pamela, for which they had an intimacy coordinator.
Speaking of the coordinator, the Love, Actually star explained: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'''.
'She knew when to walk away,' Pamela joked, pretending to be an exasperated intimacy coordinator, throwing her hands in the air and storming off, continuing the bit by adding: ''I can't take this!''

'She said, 'This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee,'' Liam added.
Liam also referred to his co-star's audition tape as 'incredibly sexy' and 'funny' – and in another interview reiterated the sexy point – while Pamela said their chemistry was 'important', with both agreeing it came naturally…
Both are single, with The Last Showgirl star Pamela having confessed in September that not being in a relationship after five marriages was 'tough' but that she was 'much happier' now.
Meanwhile Liam hasn't seriously dated anyone since his wife and Parent Trap actress Natasha Richardson tragically died aged 45 in 2009 from head injuries sustained in a skiing accident.
'I'm madly in love with her,' Liam said of Pamela in a previous interview while promoting the film.
'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with,' Liam told People. 'I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
Meanwhile Pamela called Liam the 'perfect gentleman'.
'He brings out the best in you… with respect, kindness and depth of experience. It was an absolute honor to work with him,' she said, despite having entered the rehearsal room 'shaking' with nerves, intimidated to meet him.
'Once we got going he's such a gentleman, he's such a sweetheart. He's so giving and generous and we're very complimentary and supportive. You can't help but fall in love with Liam,' she said.
Fans' eyebrows are sky-high at this point…
'Are they in love or something?' asked @kingshagrin. That is the question.
Their overtly flirty interviews could be part of a whole marketing campaign for The Naked Gun, their sequel to slapstick 1980s and 90s comedy of the same name.
In it, Liam plays head of the police squad Frank Drebin Jr who must follow in his father's footsteps and save the world, with Pamela as 'femme fatale' Beth, who goes to the police for help after her brother's murder.

When asked how they were building chemistry for the role, Liam innocently responded, 'Nothing out of the ordinary,' before a clip showed the pair in various romantic settings which were very much out of the ordinary.
Liam was shown putting his arm around Pam in front of an ocean sunset, the duo laughed in a fairy-lit restaurant over spaghetti, and danced in the moonlight, even going so far as doing trust falls.
After all these clips played out like a romantic comedy montage, it cut to Pamela sitting next to Liam in the interview setting, as she said: 'Yeah, just the usual.'
The Naked Gun is out on August 1.

Pedro Pascal responds to misconceptions and his answer is so on-brand
Pedro Pascal seems pretty relaxed with how the world views him, as one of Hollywood's hottest leading men stepping into his superhero era. Hitting the big screen as Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic, in Marvel's retro-futuristic The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which has been met largely with positive reviews, continues a busy year for Pascal. He's also already broken hearts in The Last of Us, been to Cannes to promote new Ari Aster cowboy Covid film Eddington and teamed up with Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans for modern rom-com Materialists. And that's before mentioning his scene-stealing statement T-shirt at the Thunderbolts* London premiere in April. As someone who found A-list fame a little later in life thanks to turns in Game of Thrones and Narcos, the 51-year-old actor has always seemed relaxed about sharing his views. When we caught up with him at the UK launch event for The Fantastic Four: First Steps in London, Pascal had no records to set straight or corrections to issue with how fans see him. 'What is the biggest misconception about me? I don't know. I think I'm not aware of any misconceptions,' he mused to Metro. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The turning on his usual cheeky charm, he added: 'Unless… if it's all positive, then they're all right!' A very on-brand answer for the internet's favourite actor/'daddy'. He similarly brushed off being crowned Harper Bazaar's fourth (do we see a link?) hottest man of all time, sharing mock outrage until he learned James Dean was number one. 'Okay fine. If we're going that far back, then fine by me!' Grabbing a few minutes too with Pascal's co-star Joseph Quinn, who plays Ben Grimm/The Thing, the Stranger Thing actor revealed he'd not reached out to nor heard from Michael Chiklis or Jamie Bell, who portrayed the part in the previous Fantastic Four movies, in 2005, 2007 and 2015. And in terms of his performance, he said it was all his own – and helped along by the cast, which also includes Vanessa Kirby and The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach. 'I wasn't drawing from any kind of specific performance for this, I don't think,' he shared. 'Going into it, I knew that the role would be very dependent on the dynamic that was created from the other the actors, so I didn't go into it with any kind of specific manifesto or aiming or any kind of target. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'It presented itself as we started filming.' Director Matt Shakman also explained how his previous work on Wandavision had helped him prepare to take on a feature-length MCU movie. 'In some ways Wandavision was six hours done in roughly the same amount of time so it felt a little bit like I'd been swinging two or three bats, and now I could swing only one and focus on two hours instead of six!' he laughed. 'But all the things that I've done before I feel like have given me little tools that I put in my toolkit, whether its working on Game of Thrones or Monarch for Apple, you get familiar with different ways to accomplish VFX or stunts or building character, building words. I like to gather things as I go and it helps me with the next project.' To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Shakman also teased a scene that he's especially excited for fans to see in the film. More Trending 'There's something that happens in the middle of the movie that I'm particularly proud of that I feel draws on my own experience a little bit as a parent.' With Disney keeping the full film firmly under wraps until its week of release, we'll have to wait to see it to find out exactly what that is. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is in UK cinemas now.

Olly Murs has a surprising reaction after losing his wedding ring
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Olly Murs made a very relatable confession during his appearance on Hits Radio Breakfast Show. The pop icon, 41, spoke to fellow X Factor star Fleur East as well as her co-hosts Will Best and James Barr on their regular morning quiz, Useless. He confessed that the thing he was most useless at right now was 'putting his wedding ring back on' and revealed he had lost it just days after celebrating his second wedding anniversary. 'I've had a real nightmare this morning, I can't find it, I think I went to the gym and left it, so I've misplaced it,' he said rather calmly. He seemed far from panicked, however, admitting that his wife, Amelia, who he married in July 2023, isn't usually bothered whether he is wearing his ring or not. 'The thing is, the missus is great – she doesn't actually bother if I don't have it on, but she just likes to remind me 'oh you haven't got it on!'' he continued. 'But at the moment, as we sit here now, I have no idea where it is and that's a bit of a worrying thing.' The Dear Darlin' hitmaker also opened up about becoming a dad of two after the couple announced they were expecting again. Olly and Amelia are also parents to 16-month-old Nova, who they welcomed last year. 'I am really calm about it all,' he said. 'Amelia is in absolute meltdown at the moment! It is a bit mental, but I'll just deal with it when it comes.' He went on to say that being a dad and a husband is 'everything' to him. His admission comes days after Olly went missing from his own radio show after partying way too hard the night before. He hit the town to celebrate the release of his latest single, Save Me, but failed to show up to present his breakfast show with Towie's Mark Wright. Mark began: 'So if you've been listening to Heart this morning, you'll know that my co-host Mr Olly Murs isn't in.' In a clip shared to the station's Instagram, he then shared footage of Olly partying in a busy bar or pub. 'No one can find him. Didn't know where he was. And someone has just sent this into the studio. Him out last night, caught on CCTV in a bar or a pub,' Mark explained. 'So he's obviously out, had a late night and not turned up to the studio. Very professional Olly Murs, I like it. Yeah, very good.' Back home, Olly took to Instagram to reflect on the night before. More Trending In an Instagram Story, he wrote: 'Last night was mad! Might've gone a bit too hard while celebrating the new single coming out with the boys… 'Also seem to have lost my wallet if anyone finds it.' He then shared Heart Radio's clip of Mark, with the caption: 'Can't believe I missed the show today. Man does my head hurt!' So if anyone finds Olly's wedding ring or wallet, hit him up. Got a story?

Oasis at Wembley: Timings, travel and tour dates, as band rock London for first time in 16 years
After more than 16 years, Oasis will return to the capital. Following a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, the group, fronted by Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel, will take to the stage at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday. The rock band announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. With five nights scheduled, the group posted door and stage timings on their Instagram account with an hour-by-hour breakdown of the evening. Here are the timings: 2pm - The East Village Fan Zone will open, serving food and drinks. Fans will need to present a valid stadium ticket to enter. The stadium's bag policy also applies to anyone visiting the fan zone. Alcohol will be served until 6.30pm and the zone closes at 7pm 5pm - Gates open: Wembley advises arriving as early as possible to get through security. 6pm - Support act, rock band Cast. 7pm - Support act, singer Richard Ashcroft. 8.15pm - Oasis will take the stage for a two-hour set. Getting there: All three rail/underground stations serving Wembley Stadium are open. Wembley Park Station (London Underground Jubilee and Metropolitan lines) Wembley Stadium Station (Chiltern Railways) Wembley Central Station (London Underground Bakerloo line, London Overground, London Midland and Southern lines If you're an Oasis fan from overseas, you'll be able to get to Wembley Stadium from any of these international airports by train - Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport, Stansted Airport, London City Airport, Luton Airport or London St Pancras Station for Eurostar. The group kicked off their Oasis Live '25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, receiving five star reviews from critics at The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Times. They are playing Wembley for five nights this summer - 25, 26, 30 July, 2, 3 August. If you missed them this time around , they'll be back on the 27 and 28 September. The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company. While fans were excited at the reunion, some were outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After their final London gig on August 3, the group will move north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium before performing at Dublin's Croke Park. The band will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. Formed in Manchester in 1991, the band was led by lead guitarist Noel and lead vocalist Liam during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. They had hits with songs including Don't Look Back In Anger, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall and Live Forever. Dig Out Your Soul, the band's last studio album, was released in 2008, just months before the Paris row.
