Drew Barrymore strips to swimsuit during yacht day in France
It feels like every celebrity in the world is in Europe right now, with the Charlie's Angels actress joining a star-studded list of people chasing the sun.
Barrymore, 50, looked incredible on a yacht during her family holiday to St-Tropez, in the south of France, where she was seen sporting a classic black one-piece.
Barrymore was joined by friends, as well as her two children, daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, whom she shares with ex-husband Will Kopelman.
It comes after the star - who shot to fame as a child actor in Steven Spielberg's 1982 blockbuster E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial – recently opened up about 'ageing gracefully'.
Speaking on her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, back in April, Barrymore answered a fan question asking what her 'secret' to looking youthful was.
'I haven't done anything [cosmetic work], and I want to try and stay that way,' Barrymore said.
'I see a lot of turkey neck, or I have a lot of other times where I'm like, 'Oh, wow! Wow, we're there now.'
'I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself. How many beautiful moments do we even get the privilege of seeing our reflection and that person looking back at us is us?
'So the kinder, more patient, more resilient, more loving, embracing, less dismissive that we can be, the better it is for our mental game and spiritual game, which affects the face.'
Barrymore stressed she wasn't judging anyone for having work done to maintain a youthful appearance, adding it was important 'not to judge' others.
'A smile is better than any lipstick you'll buy, and internal dialogue that isn't so eviscerating of ourselves and so quick to catch a flaw,' she continued.
'Who says that's the flaw?'
'By the way, that might be someone else's favourite thing about you. It isn't how you look. It's how you feel.'

The music for the hit indie game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is set to be one of the year's biggest scores
Lorien Testard has made just one video game soundtrack, his first and only commercially released work for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. It's being touted as one of the best this year. So how did Testard achieve this impressive feat, which has been nominated for the World Soundtrack Award longlist and praised by French president Emmanuel Macron? By posting his SoundCloud online for anyone and everyone to listen, until exactly the right person found it. 'I would train myself by composing one song every week and post it on my SoundCloud. I did this for a year.' The world of Clair Obscur is a twisted and destroyed version of our own. Paris is transformed into a city called Lumière, shattered by a gigantic woman called The Paintress who scrawls a massive number on The Monolith causing everyone of that age to disappear in a phenomenon called The Gommage. Players take on the journey to defeat this towering enemy on the expedition named after the age of those who will face their doom at the end of the year, the titular Expedition 33. The devastating and beautiful vision of this world mirrors how Testard views his music complementing the layered artful experience involved in a video game like Clair Obscur. It's more than scores and notes, it's the heartbeat that dictates the rhythm of Clair Obscur's digital world. 'I see the world of Clair Obscur like a giant painting, and I write each song to create my own little drawing musically, one for each scene and each character, to tie the world together.' A project like this doesn't usually come about through solitary work and a slew of wonderful talent were brought in to help bring this dream soundtrack to life. This includes impressive musicians like vocalist Alice Duport-Persier, Daniel Sika who helped orchestrate Testard's music and l'Orchestre Curieux whose members brought these melodies to life. But how Testard found some of these people is a wonderful modern-era tale of how the internet can be a tool to bring creators together. 'It was really important for us to have a French singer to sing the lyrics I wrote, so I searched on YouTube for singers that I really love and [Alice Duport-Persier] was by far the number one on my list.' 'I feel really connected and tied to her voice. She gave me a lot of feeling and a lot of emotion when she sang.' Duport-Persier joined Testard as co-composer on the soundtrack. 'I showed her Lost Voice in the first email, the song of The Gommage, and she said yes pretty early and the very next week she was in my house to record with me.' In the role-playing genre of video games, just like dramatic films, the action culminates in a final epic confrontation with musical pieces like One Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII taking on a life of their own outside the games. These monoliths of music are the climax of a player's journey, where hours of time and effort exploring and learning the video game world are tested, and ultimately rewarded. Testard's love of video game music means he's familiar with this feeling and was keen to chase it in his own work, seeing it as his own final boss battle creatively. 'This was my first game and it's my first final boss theme for a game so I want to remember it for the rest of my life." The boss battle piece for Clair Obscur, Nos vies en Lumière, is a 33 minute journey divided into three 11 minute pieces, combining elements of every piece that comes before it to give a clear message to the player. For Testard, this wasn't just a job. It was an opportunity to finally get to work on composing something he had dreamed of creating for a very long time. 'It was like joy and luck, I feel really grateful to have the opportunity to create the soundtrack of my dreams. I see that as a gift for me." "I don't need to top that and I don't want to top that. For the future I will create what I love and what I want to create and it will be different." 'Maybe next time they'll let me do a 43 minute long piece for expedition 43.'

Flight forced to make emergency landing after bird strike destroys nose of plane
Startling footage captured the moment smoke flooded a Paris-bound flight after a violent bird strike, leaving panicked passengers covering their faces with oxygen masks until they reached safety. Iberia flight IB-579 had just taken off from Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barjas Airport in Madrid Sunday when a large bird obliterated the plane's nose, forcing it to turn around and make an emergency landing, ABC 7 Chicago reported. 'We thought it was the turbulence that the captain was talking about, but then we started hearing a noise,' passenger Giancarlo Sandoval, who recorded the frightening scene and shared it on social media, told the outlet. 'We were like, OK, something's going on.' The spinechilling video shows Sandoval pressing an oxygen mask to his face as the plane rumbled with a disturbing noise and smoke billowed through the aircraft. A baby can be heard hysterically crying in the background, as scared passengers sit frozen in silence before eventually clapping with relief when the plane landed safely back in Spain's capital. The flight, headed to Paris Orly Airport in France, had reportedly only been in the air for 20 minutes. Photos shared on social media also showed the jet's nose smashed in — with a gaping hole — and what appeared to be blood splattered on the side of the plane. 'The entire flight crew, including pilots and cabin crew, acted with the utmost professionalism in managing the situation and attending to the passengers,' the Spanish airline told the outlet.

Melanie C's Spanish island getaway with Aussie boyfriend continues
Another week, another set of photos showing Spice Girl Melanie C looking loved-up in Europe with her Aussie boyfriend Chris Dingwall. Days after sharing photos of their romantic getaway on the Spanish island of Mallorca, the pair have been spotted on a boat in Ibiza, Sporty Spice looking fit as ever at 51. In one photo, the pop star, clad in a black string bikini, planted a kiss on her Aussie model boyfriend. Dingwall is originally from Sydney but has travelled the world as a model signed to Ford Models and Chadwick. Mel C's not the only Spice Girl to be publicly loved-up lately – Scary Spice Mel B just celebrated her second wedding to hairstylist Rory McPhee in Morocco. Meanwhile, soon-to-be The Voice Australia coach Mel C and her Aussie beau went public at Wimbledon in London last July, days after they were spotted walking hand-in-hand at the iconic Glastonbury festival. But they had been quietly dating for months before that: Melanie's frequent visits to our shores earlier in 2024, ostensibly for DJ gigs, also doubled as quality time with Dingwall as the pair shared romantic getaways in resorts across Brisbane, Byron Bay and the Whitsundays. Since those early days the pair have become more open about their relationship, with Melanie C even professing her 'love' for Dingwall on social media in January after he wished her a happy 51st birthday. Melanie C is undoubtedly the most private of the five Spice Girls when it comes to her love life, largely keeping her relationships out of the public eye since a string of romances with high-profile musicians in the late 90s and early noughties. She has a teenage daughter from a longtime relationship with ex-partner Thomas Starr. The pair split in 2012 after a decade together.
