BREAKING: Taylor Swift reveals huge star who will appear on new album The Life of a Showgirl
The much anticipated New Neights podcast episode featuring Taylor Swift has now been released and she drops some major news. Sabrina Carpenter will appear on her new album. It had been announced on Tuesday that Taylor, 35, would be a guest on the podcast, which is hosted by her partner Travis Kelce, 35, and his brother Jason Kelce, 37. A preview released on social media at the time had shown the singer-songwriter teasing her new album The Life of a Showgirl. The promotional clip showed Taylor telling Jason, who, like his brother, is known for playing in the NFL, whilst recording the podcast: "So I wanted to show you something." He responded by asking her: "Okay, what do we go?" Taylor held up a briefcase that had her initials on the front, before pulling out a vinyl sleeve that had been blurred. Confirming the name of her next album, she shared in the clip: "This is my brand new album, the Life of a Showgirl." She had announced the Life of a Showgirl, which is her twelfth original album, on August 12 and it's said that the podcast teaser was shared on Instagram at 12.12am. The album cover wasn't revealed though, with an orange padlock on a green backdrop used to temporarily conceal the artwork on her social media account and website following the news. It comes just months on from Taylor sharing with fans in May that she now owns "all of the music" that she's ever made. That announcement came following years of her releasing re-recorded versions of albums from earlier in her career following a dispute over her back catalogue. She said in a statement earlier this year: "The memories. The magic. The madness. Every single era. My entire life's work." Taylor also said at the time: "To say this is my greatest dream come true is actually being pretty reserved about it." Not including the four re-recorded albums she's released, the Life of a Showgirl will be Taylor's twelfth studio album to date. It follows the Tortured Poets Department, released by the Grammy Award winner in April last year. That album topped the charts upon its release and was said to have broken records. It included, according to the Official Charts Company, her becoming the first artist to have 12 number one albums in the UK the 21st century.

How can Gwyneth Paltrow bear so much ridicule?
There is nobody who finds Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, more interesting than the woman who was a teenager in the 1990s. This was the last era of the true pin-up, the heart-throb, the movie star as icon, rather than the whiffy melange of brand-pusher, pound-shop activist and reality star that constitutes celebrity today. I was as Nineties as the next girl living in provincial Massachusetts and when I first saw Shakespeare in Love in 1998, Paltrow's first and only Oscar-winning role as the late-16th-century actress-in-male-garb Viola de Lesseps, I'd never enjoyed anything as much in my life. And in 2025, Paltrow's career's Take Two fascinates the early middle-aged woman who finally gives in to the barrage of wellness marketing sent her way on Instagram. She now finds herself ordering 'adaptogens' (plants that are meant to help the body adapt to stress) such as reishi mushroom powder 'for immunity' and bovine collagen powder 'for hormone balance and joints'. Naturally, Paltrow's much-ridiculed lifestyle brand and newsletter Goop, which she founded in 2008 when good acting parts began to dry up, sells its own adaptogens: Paltrow was an early adopter and evangelist of almost every current wellness trend. As we learn here, she is extremely shrewd and, when it serves her, thick-skinned – a curious combination of entrepreneurial survivor and woo-woo artiste. Altogether, Paltrow's ability to fascinate and allure has served her very well, as this detailed, gossipy and slightly catty biography by the fashion journalist Amy Odell makes clear. There was something predestined about Paltrow's success, for 'as her parents and their world always taught her, she was just that special'. She was also just that talented, with her ear for languages. She learned fluent Spanish on a school exchange in just a few months and, despite being a New Yorker, managed different English accents for Sliding Doors (1998), Emma (1996) and Shakespeare in Love. Gwyneth is not just of interest to long-term viewers or followers of Paltrow, but to all students of celebrity, culture, media and the complex interactions between nepotism, talent and sex appeal. What makes it more than a repetitious biography of a movie icon is the subject's obvious complexities, beginning with her background. Her parents, Blythe Danner, a stage actress of birdlike frame, was famous, and Bruce Paltrow, a producer, was rich. They were an unusual couple. Danner was anxious, reflective, introverted and always more interested in the art of theatre – stage – than celebrity and success. She was posh and Episcopalian, whereas Bruce was 'brash' and Jewish, with a father called Buster. But they loved each other and stayed together – until Bruce, the 'love of [Gwyneth's] life', died, aged 58, in 2002 from throat cancer. The parents had tried to give their daughter and her younger brother Jake a 'normal' upbringing. Bruce cut Paltrow off financially when she dropped out of the University of Santa Barbara to pursue acting, and she waited tables out of necessity. The family was decidedly cultured, and when Gwyneth was a child went every year to the elite Williamstown theatre festival in the Berkshires, where Blythe joined huge names on stage. Theatre buffs will relish this roll call of late 1970s and 1980s acting aristocracy. Gwyneth the precocious child was popped into a range of parts, including one in a Chekhov play. Later, when a movie star, she returned in a highly acclaimed turn as Rosalind in As You Like It. She was born the definition of white privilege and has always been hated – and envied – for it. She got screen roles easily through connections, and with her love of partying, willowy frame and ethereal beauty soon became an haute couture clothes horse and It Girl. Much is made of the importance of being Brad Pitt's girlfriend in the mid-1990s when he was the world's biggest heart-throb, but it made her increasingly miserable because, in part, he just wasn't good enough. He was from ultra-conservative Christians in Missouri and couldn't understand her Upper East Side sophistication. There were bad parts and failed movies (Hush, Great Expectations, View From the Top), but her work with Harvey Weinstein at Miramax – she was the studio's 'muse' for a decade – clinched her reputation as a quality superstar. Somehow she survived Weinstein's rapacity and manipulativeness, but her account of his predatory behaviour when filming Emma, when she was 24 and he was 43, provided key early testimony for the first major #MeToo story, broken by Jodi Kantor in the New York Times in 2018. We see how Paltrow aggressively covets the fine things in life – demanding private jets and suites at the Ritz as a breakthrough star, and she can clearly be a cold, bitchy diva. This is a feature Odell returns to repeatedly, interviewing people who knew her at school, who worked with her on set at different times, and who went from being useful to not useful or, like erstwhile friends Madonna and Winona Ryder, somehow annoyed her. But for all the garbage, there is also an impressive resilience. Most people who endure half as much loathing and ridicule as Paltrow would be having public mental health struggles. She famously doesn't care what most people think, and seems to concentrate mainly on her children and her next winning hand. There is a shrewd simplicity and perceptiveness to some of her pronouncements. Of the idea to start Goop, she says: I was privy to such good information, and I thought, 'Well, if my girlfriends want to know this information, surely other girls and guys may want to know too. So, if they do, I'll do it, I'll just put out a newsletter. This is perfectly sensible. 'I would rather die than give my child a Cup-O-Soup' she said in 2005, making everyone hate her, again. But her point, brand and personality was at least succinctly presented. And she can be wise. At one point when her star crested in the late 1990s, her father sat her down for a talk with his bratty daughter: 'You know, you're getting a little weird… you're kind of an asshole.' Instead of blocking him, as her contemporary equivalent might have done, Paltrow felt 'devastated' and thought: 'Oh my God, I'm on the wrong track.' This led to an important reflection. By the age of 26, she didn't have to wait in line at a restaurant, and if a car doesn't show up, someone else gives you theirs. There is nothing worse for the growth of a human being than not having obstacles and disappointments. Her life in the 21st century as a businesswoman is less interesting than her late-20th-century one because it is a far more commonplace story. But her antennae for the next big thing are nonetheless remarkable. Long before MAHA tsar Robert Kennedy Jnr was saying the sun 'is good for you' – cancer be damned – Paltrow was saying the same. But few in the MAHA movement ever won an Oscar.

Kate Cassidy shares she wears Liam Payne's clothes to bed in emotional grief update
Liam Payne's girlfriend took to social media to share how she is coping with the loss of the former One Direction star as she urged people not to judge how others grieve Kate Cassidy got emotional as she opened up to her followers online while talking about grief. Kate has been open about her struggles since the death of boyfriend Liam Payne last October. The former One Direction star tragically plunged to his death in a hotel in Buenos Aires. He had been in the country with Kate just days before his death, but Kate had headed back to the US when the tragedy occurred. Now, as she continues to try to come to terms with his passing, Kate shared a candid Instagram upload to try to help others deal with grief. She revealed she is often asked on the social media platform about Liam's death and how she copes with his loss. And she decided to answer a number of the queries, getting emotional when she mentioned the singer's name. She began by saying she was hoping to help others deal with their grief by sharing her thoughts. She said grief feels like "a world that you wake up in and it doesn't make any sense anymore, especially when you lose somebody so suddenly and unexpectedly you almost have such a hard time forgiving the world for ripping that person away from you." She went on to say she sometimes feels "numb," while other times it can be emotional. And she admitted she feels as though her personal grief will last a "lifetime". "Grief does not come with an expiration date," she added. "It's not something you learn to get over, it's something you learn to carry with". Responding to a question regarding grieving in the right way, Kate said: "This question resonates with me a lot because there is no handbook or no guidelines to grief. Everybody deals with it a different way." She opened up on her own daily changes, admitting she often feels like different ways can help her. That includes "being in sweats" or "dressing up". Kate went on to urge people not to judge those who grieve differently. And she admitted she copes in a number of ways, including by "wearing my loved ones' clothes to bed". She also said reading old letters and notes can help her. "It makes me feel so much more attached to him. Reading something in somebody's handwriting makes you hear their voice in your head while you're reading it so that helps me a lot. "And looking through old photos and videos. It doesn't always have to be sad. Grief is a reminder that you were able to experience love." As she tried to continue, Kate clearly got teary-eyed as she stuttered: "And I'm so lucky to have experienced that with um, Liam." Liam and Kate met in a scenario straight out of a rom-com, when the then-ordinary waitress served the megastar at a bar in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2022. For Liam, the attraction was immediate, and he asked for her number straight away. She told fans of their sweet love story as she previously shared a TikTok of the moment. And Liam told his fans he "never felt a love like I do for Katelyn," adding: "We make each other better people."
