The Coldplay kisscam CEO's the kind of smarmy, Viagra-taking corporate pig women fear. I was cuckolded by one - I know the squalid truth: LIZ JONES
He has a career involving frequent travel, five-star hotel stays and corporate events where teams are built and marriages shattered. You can smell him a mile off: Dior Sauvage probably. A Breitling watch on a hirsute, tanned arm. Dark, pressed denim. Deck shoes, because he believes he deserves a yacht. Salt-and-pepper hair and a patrician air. He doubtless snaps at waiters - that is, unless they're pretty and young.

The England shirts to buy ahead of the Euro final
Setting out to defend the title they won in 2022, the England Lionesses are through to the finals of the Women's Euro 2025. Held for the first time in Switzerland, the tournament will conclude on Sunday, 27 July. Fresh from defeating Wales and Sweden, England came out on top against Italy in a tense match that went into extra time. Staging a last-minute comeback, teenage striker Michelle Agyemang came off the bench to equalise in the 96th minute of the game. The 19-year-old went on to score England's second goal that sent them into the Women's Euro final. Captain Sarina Wiegman's side secured their place in history when they claimed the trophy, which was England's first-ever major women's European Championship win. Defeating Germany 2-1 in the final match at Wembley Stadium, the team brought the title home with celebrations among football fans across the country. If you're hoping for similar glory in the Women's Euro 2025, you can cheer on the Lionesses with the best merch. From team kits and shirts to the Euro25 ball and UEFA mascot, we've rounded up the best merchandise to shop now. Inspired by vintage sportswear and various Lioness kits from tournaments past, this Nike shirt is designed with sweat-wicking technology to keep you comfortable while playing. The England 2025 home design uses a colourful red and blue ombre with blue panelling and the Nike and England logos. It's no surprise that Nineties bucket hats have returned this summer. The unisex style boasts a blue and red printed design with the England logo taking pride of place on the front. It could just as easily be worn to the Oasis Live tour – if you're one of the lucky masses that secured tickets. Another retro throwback, this windrunner nods to the original 80s design with an English twist. Made from 75% recycled fibres, it's great for evening kick-offs once the sun goes down. This Nike jacket for the Euros boasts a fun burgundy and navy all-over print, complete with a funnel neck and zip-up design. The English rose detailing nods to the football team, while there's also an England and Nike logo on the front. The relaxed fit makes it perfect for year-round off-duty wear. This oversized T-shirt is a laidback way to show your support for the England team in the Women's Euro tournament 2025, whether at home or away. The black design features the signature Nike tick with 'Lioness' typography above.

Emily Blunt keeps a low profile as she leaves set of The Devil Wears Prada 2
Emily Blunt kept things casual as she was spotted leaving the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 in New York City on Tuesday. The actress, 42, who is reprising her role of Emily Charlton from the first movie, tried to keep a low profile in a baby blue T-shirt tucked into a pair of jeans. Emily completed the look with a baseball cap, a pair of white trainers, a gold necklace, and a handbag. Emily portrayed the assistant of magazine editor Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep while Anne Hathaway starred as her junior assistant Andy Sachs. All three women are reprising their roles in the sequel alongside new cast members Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, BJ Novak, and Pauline Chalamet. In the sequel, Emily's character, Emily Charlton, has climbed the corporate ladder and now holds the power Miranda needs, setting the stage for a delicious clash of ambition, loyalty, and fashion politics. While plot details are still under wraps, sources suggest the film may draw inspiration from Lauren Weisberger's 2013 novel Revenge Wears Prada, which follows Andy's post-Runway life as she becomes a magazine editor, only to find Miranda crashing back into her world. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is slated to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, marking two decades since the original movie became a pop culture icon. The original movie lifted the lid on the cut-throat fashion world, and two decades on, that world will have changed, not least for Runway editor-in-chief Miranda, played by Meryl. The movie is expected to at least reveal her fate, showing her character dealing with the decline of print industry. One question is whether she will have retained her icy demeanor. In one scene in the first film, Andy chuckles through an editorial fashion meeting led by Priestly, who then delivers a cutting assessment of her 'cerulean' sweater. 'You think this has nothing to do with you,' Priestly tells her. The editor adds: 'You go to your closet, and you select, I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back, but what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean.' The scene became iconic and spawned the 'cerulean blue' theory of how all styles trickle down from the catwalk. Anne's post went viral, with fans quoting Miranda's epic takedown of Andy's supposed fashion indifference. One said: 'She's wearing that cerulean blue!!!' Another confessed they felt 'like a kid waiting for Christmas for The Devil Wears Prada sequel'.

So Ellen has fled Trump's US for a ‘simpler' life in the Cotswolds. Nice if you have the money, don't you think?
You may remember the first half of 2020, when, as light relief during the early stages of the pandemic, we could look towards the banks of celebrities trying to raise our spirits and come together in mutual hostility. Schools and industries had shut down, key workers were struggling, but the one certainty in life that remained undisrupted was that, as long as Gal Gadot and Natalie Portman kept sharing their inspo-content, we would never run short of a laugh. Covid ended and now we have Donald Trump – and guess what, some of that dynamic is back. It's different this time because the threat is different, but for anyone living in the US who has glanced, longingly, towards Europe or Canada and wondered about the possibility of moving, comments made by Ellen DeGeneres this week may strike a familiar note; specifically, the extraordinary tone deafness that only high net-worth individuals can hit when trying to share in a common experience. DeGeneres and her wife, the actor Portia de Rossi, moved to rural Oxfordshire last year and this week, DeGeneres was interviewed on stage in Cheltenham and gave us some insight into exactly what happened. 'We got here [to England] the day before the election and we woke up to lots of texts from our friends and crying emojis,' said DeGeneres, to a crowd of 600 or so at the Everyman theatre. 'We were like, 'We're staying here, we're not going back, we are not leaving.' So yeah, we bought a house that we thought was going to be a part-time house then we decided we needed a different house and now we're selling that house. If anybody wants a house. It's a beautiful house. It's a beautiful stone farmhouse.' A lot to unpack here, obviously, but let's start with 'we're selling that house / if anybody wants a house / it's a beautiful house'. As anyone who has moved countries knows, there are all sorts of problems to be solved in the first flush of arrival, chief among them panic-buying the first eight-figure house you stumble across and then wondering what to do with the horses. So it was that, while the property to which DeGeneres refers has a pool, a helipad and what E! News described this week as a 'party barn' – which they may or may not believe to be common British usage – sadly it doesn't have a big enough stable. 'Portia couldn't live without her horses,' DeGeneres told the Wall Street Journal this week – there but for the grace of God, etc – anyway if anybody wants it, it's on for £22.5m and the Daily Mail has all the details. There are, of course, real reasons for Americans in general and DeGeneres and her wife in particular to want to flee the US and at the existential level, fear of Trump can strike anyone. During the talk in Cheltenham, the former talkshow host spoke about the threat posed by the US president to LGBTQ+ communities, mentioning in particular the revived enthusiasm among certain Christian sects in the US for rowing back federal protection of same-sex marriage. If necessary, said DeGeneres, the pair would remarry in Britain. But it is also true that, like wealthy women seeking an abortion before 1973 or in southern states today, there is almost no bind that money can't buy you out of – in this case, moving countries without any of the customary friction. And so DeGeneres and her wife find themselves newly absorbed into the immigrant-expat continuum, occupied at one end by undocumented immigrants being seized and deported in the US by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and at the other, by those so wealthy they can go on holiday and seemingly decide, on a whim, to stay for ever. Each experience is attended by different rules, terminologies and demonisations, and is subject to sometimes fiercely defended distinctions from other, less favourable categories. For instance, I remember making the mistake, once, of asking an American friend about her grandparents' emigration to the US from Europe, assuming rather romantically that they'd gone through Ellis Island. She looked appalled and informed me, crossly, that they'd come in on an ocean liner and docked directly in the city, the family piano safely crated in the hold. No one on that boat was inspected for head lice. 'We were legal.' Those belonging to communities targeted by Trump who also voted for Trump are less baffling when you consider these differences. None of which, of course, pertains to Ellen DeGeneres, who is worth the sort of money (an estimated $450m) that makes the visa problem faced by most Americans hoping to move away from Trump – or stay in the US in spite of Trump – disappear. Still, even among the elite, moving entails a steep learning curve. The new house DeGeneres and her wife have moved into isn't far from the old one but is a much newer building, enabling the Mail to prod one local into calling it a 'monstrosity', and a possibly different local into saying 'it looks like a prison'. DeGeneres, meanwhile, is still in the honeymoon period, and finding it all very beautiful. As she told the crowd at Cheltenham this week, she considers her new compatriots 'polite,' the life here 'simpler', and has reached the conclusion that, 'everything here is better'. Whether that's the charms of the English countryside or the insulating effect of super-wealth we can't know for sure. Either way, we look forward to watching the progress of the entertainer's application to put up a large stable in an area of outstanding natural beauty make its way through the famously helpful and accommodating English planning authorities.
