The Who hint they are about to retire
The iconic British rock band first formed in 1964 with singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon and have been making music ever since. Daltrey and Townshend are the surviving two members of the group, and this week announced The Song Is Over: The North American Farewell Tour - which they have now highlighted could be their last ever. Daltrey told The Sun, "I don't want to say that there won't be (more), but equally I'm not confident in saying there will be. Let's see if we survive this one.".

Glen Powell's ‘shattered' ex blasts actor, Sydney Sweeney over romance ‘PR scheme'
Glen Powell's ex-girlfriend was 'shattered' by manufactured romance rumours that swirled between the actor and his Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney. Gigi Paris reflected on her decision to end things with Powell after he and Sweeney were spotted looking flirty on the set of the 2023 romcom during the latest episode of the Too Much podcast. 'It was just, 'This is what I have to do for my job.' I had two options,' she said. 'I could either pretend like I was going along with everything and have everyone wonder, like, 'Are they hooking up? Are they not hooking up? Is she OK with this? What the f**k?'' The model said her other option was to 'stand up for [herself].' '[I could] say, 'No, I'm actually not OK with this, and I'm walking away,'' she continued. 'So that's what I decided to do.' Paris, 32, recalled feeling 'shattered' when whispers of a romance between the Euphoria star, 27, and Powell, 36, hit the rumour mill. 'I just wanted respect, especially if it's gonna be public,' Paris said. 'Like, don't make an ass out of me. Like, just don't make a fool out of someone you've been with for over three years talking about forever with. Just have some decency, you know?' Paris slammed Powell for deciding not to shut down the romance rumours. 'Where are you when you just need to stand up and say, 'No, I would never cheat on my girlfriend. I wouldn't do that.' That's all that needed to be said. And that wasn't said. Never once,' she recalled. Paris claimed that Sweeney and Powell were leaning into the gossip because it was 'serving them for their PR' for their movie. 'Later on, it turned out that it was all, I don't know if there was a relationship there or not, but then they came out to say it was all a PR scheme at the expense of our relationship. Like, it was just crazy,' she said. While Paris acknowledged that 'work comes first' for Powell, it was too much for her and she felt that she had to 'walk away.' 'What sucked was how it was handled. I felt like I was just fed to the dogs,' she confessed. Paris joked that she 'hoped that they'd end up together,' like the fans wanted. 'Because I was like, at least it would make it worth it for me, you know? I hope they are in love or whatnot,' she said. Paris further claimed that Powell dumped her over the phone while he was on location in Australia for the movie. 'I got a phone call from him right when I was about to go to Australia to work — all this s**t was coming out on the Internet,' she remembered, referring to the rumours between Powell and Sweeney. 'And he called and said, 'The producers and I have discussed that I think it's best that you don't come to visit.' … And that's when I hung up. And I was like, 'This motherf**ker is done to me,'' she said. Paris fell apart after their call, acknowledging that it was in that moment that she realised their relationship wouldn't make it. 'I thought we had hope, like, maybe when I got there that, like, things would maybe get better,' she said. 'But once I got that phone call, I just knew it was done. I had lost whoever that person was that I loved.' Powell and Sweeney spurred rumours that they were an item after they were seen looking loved-up on set of the comedy in 2023. At the time, Powell was dating Paris and Sweeney was engaged to Jonathan Davino. However, a source confirmed to Page Six in April 2023 that Paris and Powell broke up weeks before rumours surfaced that he and Sweeney were romantically involved. Paris had hinted at their breakup by unfollowing Powell and Sweeney on Instagram and posting a cryptic message in an Instagram caption, writing, 'Know your worth & onto the next.' Sweeney's relationship also crumbled after her sizzling moments with Powell took the internet by storm, with her and Davino breaking up in March after nearly seven years together.

Sarah Jessica Parker's mid-interview confession causes outrage
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker dropped a confession in a new interview so surprising that it left even shock jock Howard Stern lost for words. The Sex and the City star appeared on Stern's podcast to publicise the recently-launched third season of And Just Like That, a sequel of sorts to SATC. No surprises that Stern wanted to discuss one controversial scene in particular that aired during And Just Like That' s season three premiere: SJP's character Carrie's awkward attempt at phone sex with long-distance boyfriend Aidan (John Corbett). The scene unfolds in semi-graphic detail – something that left some longtime SATC fans shocked. 'He's having phone sex with you, he's about to, y'know, play with himself – and he licks his hand,' Stern began. 'He takes his tongue and he starts licking his hand, and he plays with his penis …' Parker interjected during Stern's X-rated description to ask, 'I'm sorry, what?' But she wasn't just playing coy for laughs. As Parker went on to explain, she's barely watched any of And Just Like That across its three seasons to date – or much of Sex and the City, for that matter. 'I've not seen that [scene]; I can't comment on it,' she told Stern. 'I have no knowledge. I haven't seen most of Sex and the City, ever, and I haven't seen And Just Like That. So I don't know, this is the first I'm hearing of that.' Parker confessed And Just Like That co-creator Michael Patrick King would regularly ask her to watch specific episodes – an instruction she's apparently ignored. A visibly stunned Stern called Parker's confession 'crazy' – and many agreed, particularly given Parker is not just the star of the show, but also one of its executive producers, a job that usually entails being across every aspect of a project from beginning to end. The Stern interview also came as part of a PR blitz that has seen Parker and her co-stars submit to dozens of interviews to talk up the new season – apparently, at least in Parker's case, without having watched any of it. The clip drew an incredulous reaction when popular Sex and the City podcasters Every Outfit shared it on their Instagram account, where they called Parker's blasé revelation 'truly shocking.' 'SHE IS AN EXECUTIVE PRODUCER? HOW IS THIS ALLOWED?!' asked another popular SATC fan account, @samanthajonespr. 'If she's not watching … why are we?' another fan asked. Others suggested Parker needs to watch the rebooted show so she can grasp 'how truly bad' it is. Those behind And Just Like That 's official Instagram account tried to weigh in to calm the outrage, commenting that Parker was 'so Carrie with this reply' – a quip that was quickly shouted down as fans told them to 'read the room.' Parker also revealed her cluelessness about the show in another recent interview with the Guardian, revealing that she had no idea there had been a strong viewer reaction against one character. Actor Sara Ramirez played Che Diaz, a stand-up comedian and self-described 'queer non-binary Mexican-Irish diva' who served as a love interest for Miranda. The character was quietly dropped from the show after season two amid ongoing fan backlash. Not that Parker knew about it. 'A friend of mine brought it up to me, and it's like: 'What are you talking about?' And he said: 'Yeah, there's all this conversation,'' Parker told The Guardian. 'I've been an actor for 50 years, and I've almost never paid attention to peripheral chatter.'

‘She's a kid': Alix Earle slammed for video with 12yo sister
Alix Earle has faced a wave of criticism after she helped dress her 12-year-old sister for a concert, with many viewers describing the influencer's choice of outfit for the pre-teen as too 'grown-up'. The star, 24, who boasts over 7.5 million followers, shared a 'Get Ready With Me' video on TikTok where she filmed herself helping her little sister Izabel get ready for The Weeknd's concert. The New Jersey native explained to the camera that she would assist Izabel in getting ready, before presenting a range of options for the tween to wear – including tiny crop tops and mini skirts. At one point, the upcoming Dancing With The Stars cast member selected a red latex crop top and cut a black skirt with scissors so it was ultra-short. A mini grey tank top was also an option she chose, as was a strapless maroon corset that the tween declared 'ugly'. A see-through leopard singlet was also included in the mix. The video abruptly ended before a decision was made, but Earle updated her followers in the comments, saying that her sister ended up going in her 'own direction' with her outfit. When someone else inquired what she ended up wearing, Earle said she didn't want to share as she was afraid of the 'haters'. Thousands of viewers raced to the comment section to condemn Earle's fashion direction. 'She's 12, she needs to stay a kid,' said one. 'Alix, I love you but we gotta protect our little siblings and let them be kids. C'mon girlfriend,' said another. Someone else pointed out that 'all those options a 25-year-old could wear', while another added: 'None of these are good for a 12-year-old'. Meanwhile, one follower called the video a 'hard watch,' especially the part where she cut the skirt even shorter. 'My daughter just turned 11, I couldn't imagine. They are kids, let them be kids,' said someone else. 'All these outfits are WAY too inappropriate for a child. I would never ever let my little 13-year-old sister walk out of the house dressed in any of those,' declared someone else. However, not everyone was so critical. 'When I was her age, literally all I wanted was this stuff. She's probably having so much fun, as she should,' one defended. 'Y'all didn't have an older sister when you were 12 and it shows,' said someone else. 'Guys, she's in high school, why are you acting like she's six?' said another. 'Also, Alix is her cool older sister – not her mum,' pointed out someone else. In June 2024, Earle shared a catwalk with her siblings at the Miami Swim Week. She walked alongside her sister Ashtin, 22, and half-sisters Izabel and Penelope, eight, during the show. Earle and Ashtin sported black and white bikinis, while the younger sisters matched in pink and white one-pieces.
