Vanderpump Rules spin off relocates from Italy to VERY unexpected town in the UK
It's definitely going to be a change of scenery SCENERY SWITCH-UP Vanderpump Rules spin off relocates from Italy to VERY unexpected town in the UK Real Housewives of Beverly Hills legend Lisa Vanderpump's spin-off show, Vanderpump Villa, is set for a huge shake-up for its upcoming third series - relocating from the stunning castle in Italy to a farmhouse in the far less glamorous climes of Milton Keynes. In a move that will see fans scratching their heads, the show - which airs on Hulu in the US and Disney + globally - has ditched the fancy European settings of the previous two seasons for an altogether more down-to-earth base. 4 The super-glam Vanderpump Rules spin off is relocating from Italy to Milton Keynes Credit: Hulu 4 The show used to be set in this stunning Italian castle Credit: Hulu A telly insider said: "Bosses have settled on a location house in Newport Pagnell to film the next run. It's rural and will probably look impressive to US viewers who will just see the English countryside and think it's romantic, but anyone from Britain knows Newton Pagnell is a stone's throw from Milton Keynes' city centre - a place that couldn't be less showbizzy if it tried. It's a man-made commuter city at the end of the day. "Obviously Lisa Vanderpump is British, so you can understand why the showrunners wanted a Lady of the Manor type vibe for the upcoming episodes, but you would imagine they would have plumped for a mansion in the Cotswolds, or an old English castle in Kent." The first series of Vanderpump Villa was filmed at a French chauteau and aired last year. The second series relocated to Umbria and has been shot but is yet to air. Read more Vanderpump Villa TELLY TREATS Best new TV next week - from Netflix's Scoop to Disney+'s Vanderpump Villa The premise of the first series of show saw Lisa, who already has the successful spin-off Vanderpump Rules under her belt, overseeing a group of wild staff members at her French estate. Lisa and her husband Ken, who also appeared on RHOBH, made their money owning various restaurants and clubs in London, before decamping to LA where they opened eateries and bars such as SUR and Villa Blanca. Lisa Vanderpump 'pushed out' of Vanderpump Rules as producers attempt to 'minimize' her involvement with filming Lisa then shot to fame as part of the original cast of Beverly Hills housewives, and enjoyed success as the show's breakout star from 2010 to 2019, but left the show after a series of on-camera spats with the other wives. The Sun has approached a rep for the show for comment. 4 Will "first class luxury" still remain the air of the show over in Milton Keynes? Credit: Hulu

Barry Keoghan debuts Ringo Starr look ahead of Beatles biopic shoot
Barry Keoghan is a man in demand in Hollywood, and was recently cast as Ringo Starr for an upcoming four-part Beatles biopic from Sam Mendes. He joins fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal in the lineup, who will be playing Paul McCartney, as well as Harris Dickinson as John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. While the foursome had been announced during cinemacon, Barry recently took part in a GOAT TALK interview with Ed Sheeran for Complex, where the pair discussed the musician's obsession with movie props, but we couldn't help but admire Keoghan's new look. Barry Keoghan with his Ringo Starr hair Pic: Complex The 32-year-old is sporting longer locks in the video, and is looking more like the drummer. Considering production was rumoured to have started in July of this year, the timing lines up with this new hairdo being for the film. Barry even joked that he had some drumsticks with him and if Ed wanted to buy them he could, so he's staying on top of his drum-practice. Barry Keoghan with his Ringo Starr hair Pic: Complex The duo's conversation was rather enlightening, with Sheeran revealing that he buys a new movie prop every year for his birthday. Some of his favourites are Robin Williams' Peter Pan costume from Hook, as well as Rufio's sword, and he also mentioned that his most expensive purchases was one of the C3P0s from Star Wars, but wouldn't reveal how much he spent on it. As for the Beatles biopics, Mendes confirmed that the four films will be released in April 2028, and each member of the band will be the subject of their own solo film, telling the story of the legendary band from each point of view. Ed Sheeran in conversation with Barry Keoghan Pic: Complex The official title for the project is The Beatles – A Four Film Cinematic Event, with the director describing it as the 'first binge-able theatrical experience'. As for Keoghan's part in the project, he recently admitted that he 'froze' coming face to face with Ringo, telling Jimmy Kimmel: 'I met Ringo the other day. I met him at his house and he played the drums for me. He asked me to play them, but I wasn't playing the drums for Ringo. 'It was one of those moments when you're just in awe and [I] just froze.' Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson and Paul Mescal at CinemaCon 2025 Pic: Eric Charbonneau/Sony Pictures via Getty Images Barry went on to note that despite paying a visit to study the musician's mannerisms, he was unable to look at him. 'I was nervous,' Barry told Jimmy, 'He was like, 'You can look at me,' and it was just, again, I'm playing Ringo Starr. My job is to observe and take in all kind of mannerisms and, you know, studying [him].'
