Have the baby. Travel alone. Never waste love - and don't forget this one life lesson... the 50 things I've learnt at 50: CLOVER STROUD
I've just turned 50 – a fact that feels completely insignificant and also, somehow, incredibly important. And I guess to me alone, it's both of those things.
I keep walking around saying '50' to myself to see how it feels; it feels good, and normal, and huge, and nothing – all at the same time. I want to be able to hold the number in my hand somehow; to feel its weight and its shape.

Wicked: For Good trailer shows Elphaba in exile and first glimpse of Dorothy
The first full-length trailer for the Wicked sequel offers fans a glimpse of Elphaba's life in exile after flying away to Oz's western lands. Footage from the movie also teases a first look at Dorothy, the protagonist of L Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, who is seen walking down the yellow brick road. Advertisement Wicked: For Good will see Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, demonised by those in Oz, and transformed into The Wicked Witch Of The West, as she is known in Baum's novel about the fantastical world. It picks off where the first film left off, covering the years after Elphaba parted ways with her friend, Glinda, played by US pop star Ariana Grande. In the trailer the friends sing the song For Good as the Wizard asks Dorothy and her friends to 'bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch Of The West'. It ends with Elphaba saying 'I'm off to see the Wizard' before flying on a broom into the distance with her winged monkeys. Advertisement The film, directed by Jon M Chu, shows Elphaba continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced animals while Glinda lives at the palace in Emerald City. Wicked also stars English actor Jonathan Bailey as roguish and carefree prince Fiyero, American actor and singer Ethan Slater as altruistic munchkin student Boq, and Jurassic Park's Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. The films have been adapted from the musical, which was based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel of the same name – which was in turn based on the story first told in Baum's 1900 children's novel, adapted into the 1939 film starring Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale. Wicked: For Good will show in cinemas in Ireland and the UK from November 21st. Advertisement

Doja Cat dons a strapless mini dress and body glitter as she parties at Chateau Marmont
Doja Cat put on an animated display as she enjoyed a night out at the lavish Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The rapper and singer, 29, appeared deep in conversation as she partied the night away at the celebrity hotspot. For the occasion, Dojo turned heads in a strapless beige mini dress that showed off her toned pins, which were covered in silver glitter at her knees. She accessorised with a gold jewellery and pulled her ice blonde tresses into a simple updo. The star, who showed off her arm tattoos in the tiny ensemble, appeared in good spirits as she lived it up with her pals. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Doja Cat put on an animated display as she enjoyed a night at the lavish Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Wednesday It comes after Doja's revealing outfit on Saturday at iHeartRadio's Wango Tango showcased a devastating plastic surgery mishap — and it was the performer herself who pointed out the issue. Later on Saturday evening, the star posted on X: 'don't clock my contracted implant it's all i ask.' Despite that issue, Doja surprisingly chose to wore an aquamarine-colored plunging top that just barely covered her breasts — and left the surgery complications on full display. After breast implant surgery, it's normal for the implant to be surrounded by what's called a 'capsule' of scar tissue, which ideally holds the implant in place. But in some instances, the scar tissue can begin to harden and contract around one or both implants, according to the FDA. The condition can make the breasts look overly hard, or give the implant a lumpy or misshapen appearance, which Doja seemed to indicate she was dealing with. In more severe cases the contraction can even be painful to the sufferer. Notably, the Baker Scale, which grades the severity of implant capsular contraction, indicates that surgery may be required to remove the implant if it looks notably abnormal due to contraction. Surgical options can include taking out the implant and removing all or part of the scar capsule, then either replacing the original implant or using a new one, though contraction may still occur in the future. Despite her implant issues, Doja still managed to set pulses racing with her jaw-dropping arrival at the glitzy event. She flaunted her incredible figure in an aqua-colored mini dress, with dramatic cut outs and a plunging neckline. She barely contained her ample assets in the slinky number, which cinched her in at her tiny waist and was adorned with sparkling sequins. The eye-catching number skimmed her thighs slit to showcase Doja's legs which were covered with fishnet tights, while she boosted her height with silver buckled stilettos. The Say So singer opted for dramatic jewelry, adding a chunky diamond choker and sparkly earrings to the look, whilst also sporting a full face of glamorous makeup. Her blonde tresses tumbled down her shoulders in a relaxed wave and she showed off her impressive arm tattoos as she posed for pictures. Later in the evening, Doja Cat took to the stage to perform a string of her top hits and put on an animated display as she entertained the crowd.
