Disgraced James Argent shamelessly dances at gig as ‘the show goes on' after attacking girlfriend
SHAMELESS James Argent has been posting footage of himself dancing at a gig weeks after he attacked his girlfriend.
The 37-year-old returned to Spain where he had admitted a charge of domestic violence against his model partner Nicoline Artursson, 32.

As part of his sentence, he must attend a domestic violence course which aims to help offenders construct a 'new masculinity'.

He flew back to take the course - but posted him singing at a gig last night.
Arg was filmed jumping up and down with fans on stage as he spun around a little girl on the dancefloor and belted out old hits.
The show must go on for the former Towie star who turned violent during a row with his ex on holiday in La Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol.
He admitted throwing the former Miss Sweden's clothes off a balcony at a beachfront apartment and pushed her when she fell down steps outside.
He was arrested and spent several hours in police cells before admitting a charge of domestic violence in court that same day on May 5.
Singer Arg had applied for residency in Spain to perform all year round in Marbella's bars and clubs, but that is now likely to be rejected because of his record.
Argent's row with Nicoline came after she hinted at his closeness with ex-partner Lydia Bright in a now deleted Instagram post.
She wrote: 'Is it OK if your boyfriend or girlfriend is talking and hanging out with their ex and liking their Instagram posts etc? If you're in a serious relationship you've got to respect your partner and leave the past in the past.'
Argent previously said he was 'devastated by what's happened'.

Alluding to past drink and drug issues, he added: 'I haven't relapsed. I am still three years and four months clean and sober.'
In between his gigs he must now focus on his domestic violence course.
Gregorio Gomez Mata, who runs similar workshops for Spain's Prison Service, told The Sun previously: 'My message to Mr Argent would be to take advantage of this course.
'His life will be better if he understands he has to change and so will the lives of any women he has relationships with in the future.
"We don't arrange meetings between offenders and domestic violence victims, but the men who take part in our workshops do listen to the testimonies of women who have been assaulted by their partners.'

Domestic abuse - how to get help
DOMESTIC abuse can affect anyone - including men - and does not always involve physical violence.
Here are some signs that you could be in an abusive relationship:
Emotional abuse - Including being belittled, blamed for the abuse - gaslighting - being isolated from family and friends, having no control over your finances, what you where and who you speak to
Threats and intimidation - Some partners might threaten to kill or hurt you, destroy your belongings, stalk or harass you
Physical abuse - This can range from slapping or hitting to being shoved over, choked or bitten.
Sexual abuse - Being touched in a way you do not want to be touched, hurt during sex, pressured into sex or forced to have sex when you do not consent.
If any of the above apply to you or a friend, you can call these numbers:
The Freephone National Domestic Abuse Helpline, run by Refuge on 0808 2000 247 for free at any time, day or night
Men who are being abused can call Respect Men's Advice Line on 0808 8010 327 or ManKind on 0182 3334 244
Those who identify as LGBT+ can ring Galop on 0800 999 5428
If you are in immediate danger or fear for your life, always ring 999
Remember, you are not alone.
1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic abuse over the course of their lifetime.
Every 30 seconds the police receive a call for help relating to domestic abuse.

Katy Perry fuels split rumours as she makes cryptic comments about a breakup amid claims of 'tension' in relationship with Orlando Bloom
Katy Perry has added to rumours that she's facing 'tension' in her relationship with her fiancé Orlando Bloom while making a telling comment on stage. The American singer was performing the third of her Sydney concerts during the Australian leg of her Lifetimes Tour on Tuesday night when she was handed a packet of Tim Tams chocolate biscuits. The 40-year-old singer was in the middle of her performance of her 2008 heartbreak anthem I'm Still Breathing when she opened the packet and ate one of the treats. 'This song is about a breakup, and this Tim Tam saved me' Perry told the crowd during the brief interlude. 'Thank you' she added, before launching back into the track while kneeling down and offering the biscuits to audience members in the front row. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The American singer was performing the third of her Sydney concerts during the Australian leg of her Lifetimes Tour on Tuesday night The comment about suffering through a 'breakup' has only added to recent speculation that Perry and Bloom are facing some challenges. On Tuesday, the California Gurls singer - who album 143 was hit with a wave of negative reviews, was spotted looking less-than-enthused as she stepped out at Sydney's Luna Park with daughter Daisy, four, who she shares with Bloom. On the same day, Orlando seemed to be having a blast at the Tribeca Festival in New York City. He posed on the red carpet with their adorable Teacup Poodle Biggle Smalls. The couple's sightings on different continents come amid a new report alleging that Katy's poorly performing album caused 'tension' in her relationship. The singer's seventh studio album, 143, was released in September 2024, and received a largely negative response from fans as well as critics, who claimed the record sounds 'generated through AI.' 'Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album. It made her very stressed,' a source told People on Monday. 'Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension,' the insider added of the Lord of The Rings star, 48, who shares daughter Daisy Dove with the singer. The 40-year-old singer was in the middle of her performance of her 2008 heartbreak anthem I'm Still Breathing when she opened the packet and ate one of the treats Another source shared, 'She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship.' Perry - who recently 'accused' a bewildered fan of sending private messages to Bloom - is currently on her Lifetimes world tour. has reached out to representatives for Perry and Bloom for comment. Later on Tuesday, Orlando appeared on The Tonight Show and wowed Jimmy Fallon with the tiny dog, who his manager said was 'trending.' 'So, my manager calls me and says, 'You know, you're trending.' And I'm like, 'Well, that's great, I'm trending.' ''Well, not exactly you. It's the dog,'' he recounted his manager saying. Orlando added that he considered Biggie Smalls to be an 'emotional support animal,' and he said the little dog goes nearly everywhere with him. Later, the Lord Of The Rings star spoke about his recent skydiving adventures and how it felt as if he was 'flying.' 'It's the fastest you can be propelled as a human on the planet without an engine or something. And you literally feel like you're flying,' he said, before joking, 'By the way, Marvel, I'm ready.' Perry and Bloom first met in January 2016. They had a brief breakup in 2017, but later reconciled by March 2018. The pair got engaged on Valentine's Day in 2019 and welcomed their daughter in August 2020. Bloom also has a 13-year-old son named Flynn with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, 42. 143 - which references the expression 'I love you', but is also what Perry considers to be her symbolic 'angel number' - is her first album in four years, following Smile in 2020. Much of the criticism even before the album was released was down to Perry's decision to work with her old music producer Dr. Luke who settled his longstanding sexual harassment lawsuit with Kesha last year - which he vehemently denied. In May, Perry left one of her fans speechless as she performed in front of a full-house at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise Valley. She halted her show in Nevada to single out one of her bewildered fans. Dressed in a leotard and fishnet tights, Perry crouched on her haunches as she searched for her target in the audience before accusing him of repeatedly sending private messages to her fiancé, Orlando. Looking down at the stunned fan - referred to as Kyle - she warned: 'I know why you're here. Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man... you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play.' As the crowd roared their approval, she continued: 'If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed - seriously, get your own life.' Raising her voice, she added: 'He don't want you, Kyle. I'm his wife. I'm his, he's mine... stay the f**k away.' Standing close to the stage, Kyle looked stunned as he turned to his friends while Perry worked her way back into the set-list. Fortunately for him, the outburst was a scripted stunt employed by Perry as a means of interacting with her audience before launching into her 2024 single I'm His, He's Mine. Her performance came after it emerged she has not been invited back to continue her Las Vegas residency as her career continues to suffer from the backlash of her Blue Origin space trip and disastrous world tour. The California Gurls singer has faced an onslaught of criticism over her 11-minute space flight which saw her join Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez for the all-female trip in April. Shortly after the flight, Perry kicked off her Lifetimes tour in support of her seventh studio album, which was widely panned by critics on its release in September. The tour has suffered from a series of setbacks - including a delayed start in Minnesota that forced fans to stand around for hours - that have led to low ticket sales and canceled dates. The former American Idol judge has also been suffering severe backlash ever since her space tourist trip on Blue Origin's New Shepard NS-31 mission. Perry was seen floating inside the capsule holding a daisy in a nod to her daughter Daisy. She was ridiculed on landing back to Earth and emerging with the flower in hand which she held to the sky before dropping to her knees and kissing the ground. She then proceeded to claim she was 'super connected to love' and thanked a reporter who incorrectly referred to her as an astronaut. 'It's not about singing my songs. It's about a collective energy in there. It's about us. It's about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,' she said in a post-flight interview. 'And it's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it. This is all for the benefit of Earth.' It wasn't long before she was branded 'tone deaf' and 'dramatic' for her actions, which came days after NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth after being stranded in space for more than nine months. Her much-maligned Lifetimes Tour has been hit with accusations of copying other pop stars, including Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter. During her show to a sold-out crowd at Chicago's United Center on May 12, the singer addressed being the 'most hated person on the Internet. In a video captured by a fan, the star takes a moment to look around at her fans, and says: 'Well, I thought I was the most hated person on the internet. I think that's false.'

Billie Eilish glows at Paris' Eiffel Tower after confirming romance with new boyfriend Nat Wolff
Billie Eilish sported a healthy glow that could have lit up the Eiffel Tower after she dined atop the iconic attraction in Paris on Tuesday night. The 23-year-old singer–songwriter was spotted after her dinner with friends as she descended the tower and captured the magical moment on a Canon Powershot camera. She grinned ear to ear after she finally confirmed her romance with the actor Nat Wolff when they were spotted kissing in Venice. Just months earlier, the two were said to be 'just friends,' as Billie was allegedly 'much more interested in women right now.' Earlier on Tuesday, an insider revealed to how Billie and Nat's new relationship had been a 'long time coming.' Billie didn't change up her standard style when she was with her new beau, and it was mostly unchanged for her adventure in Paris shortly after they spent time together in Italy. The hitmaker covered up in a black zip-up hoodie that appeared to be part of her own merchandise, which she wore over a thin navy sweater with an attached white button-up collar. She made it clear she wasn't afraid of self-promotion by wearing a pair of baggy black athletic shorts with a red-and-white 'B' and 'E' — her initials —over each thigh. Billie, who currently sported long raven hair after a stint as a blonde, also wore black stockings with long black socks decorated with teal stripes and silver beads. She completed the muted ensemble with black-and-green trainers that were spiced up with burgundy laces. She and her friends all had cameras or phones out to snap photos to capture the City of Lights in all its glory. The Grammy-winning artist newly confirmed romance comes after she and Nat were the subject of intense speculation from fans. The feted musical artist and The Consultant actor were seen kissing on a balcony during an outing in Venice this weekend in images published by Deux Moi. The nine-time Grammy winner was seen snapping selfies with her new beau as she donned a striped green polo shirt with her black locks down. The Wildflower singer beamed as she spent time with her new paramour, who has appeared in movies such as 2014's The Fault in Our Stars and 2015's Paper Towns. He also has a musical background as a composer and musician. Daily Mail has reached out to reps for both parties for further comment. The two showed off even more PDA when they were seen taking a boat ride around the tourist destination in photos obtained by Wolff wore a white T-shirt as he enjoyed the summer weekend with the songstress, as they toasted with glasses of champagne. 'The couple were locked in a passionate kiss on a balcony, a scene straight out of a romance novel,' a report Deux Moi read. 'Adding to the dreamy atmosphere, they were seen sipping champagne and soaking up the Italian sun, clearly enjoying a romantic European getaway,' it added. In images snapped in Italy, both appeared to be in great moods as their romance appeared to be going in a more public direction. The confirmation of the romance comes nearly one year after the released video for her single Chihiro, which featured Wolff as her love interest. Eilish, who directed the music video, described the relationship between their characters in the video as an 'inescapable connection.' The track was the second single from her album Hit Me Hard and Soft, coming on the heels of her first release from the record, Lunch. The Los Angeles native said in a news release that she had 'envisioned a dream-like narrative' for the music video. In the music video, they make their way out of the building and into a grassy field, where they playfully wrestle and eventually embrace one another. The idea behind the interaction between the characters, according to Eilish, was the 'external expression of an internal push and pull, as our deepest feelings of fear, love, or desire inevitably catch up to us, no matter how hard we try to run away.' On Spotify, the song has been played more than 852 million times over the past year.
