Spinal Tap II: The End Continues
Spinal Tap II reunites Nigel Tufnel, David St Hubbins and Derek Smalls (played by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer) as they get together for a final concert, more than 40 years after the 1984 mockumentary that made their name. In between, Spinal Tap released the album Break Like the Wind in 1992, appeared on The Simpsons, played the Live Earth charity concert in 2007 and Glastonbury in 2009.
The trailer shows Marty DiBergi (director Rob Reiner's totally on-point mickey-take of Martin Scorsese) is on hand to record the band's doings, and megastars including Elton John, Questlove and Paul McCartney drop in to add their two-penn'orth to the Tap mythos. Filling in for An Evening with Stormy Daniels has to be the high point of anyone's career, right?
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues is out on 12 September in the US and UK, and on 25 September in Australia.

Calvin Harris and Vick Hope welcome first baby and reveal powerful name
Calvin Harris and Vick Hope have shared the happy news of the birth of their first child. The couple posted a series of photos with their baby boy, named Micah, on Instagram, including some graphic images from the home water birth itself, such as Vick's placenta. '20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah,' Calvin wrote in the caption to his post. The name Micah has Hebrew origins and translates to 'who is like God?'. The other images include one of Calvin cradling the baby in the sun, lifting his son out of the water and the creation of Vick's (presumably) placenta pills. Vick reposted the first image on her story with the phrase 'my boys' with the sun emoji. The BBC Radio 1 presenter, Vick, 35, has been married to her DJ husband, 41, since September 2023, and announced her pregnancy in May. Friends and family are flocking to the comments to congratulate the new parents. 'Congratulations you 2,' chelceegrimes wrote on Instagram. 'Congratulations guys, hope mama and baby are doing amazing,' thedeanlife echoed. Placentophagy is the postpartum ingestion of the placenta and can be eaten in a variety of manners, including raw, cooked, roasted, dehydrated or encapsulated (the latter of which it appears Vick has opted to do). Women who choose to consume their placenta after birth believe it provides health benefits which could include a boost of energy through nutrients. There are several celebrities who have decided to try out this practice, such as Kourtney Kardashian, who once posted she would be 'sad' when her pills ran out. Hillary Duff has previously consumed a placenta smoothie and Coleen Rooney claimed her placenta pills have helped her beat post-natal depression and replenish her natural hormones. Despite the increasing popularity, some research has debunked the theory that it offers health benefits. In 2015, the BBC reported that a review by Northwestern University found no proven benefits and no research on the potential risks with the lead study author saying: 'Women really don't know what they are ingesting.' 'Massive congrats mate ! Big love,' Camrinwatsin said. 'Soooo happy for you,' annabelahor agreed. Vick decided to share that she was expecting on her drivetime show, Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie earlier this year. 'I should say that this is my final week. I wanted to share that with you because we've had such a lovely time over the last few weeks. That time is coming to an end for a bit because I'm going on maternity leave next week,' she said at the time. More Trending Co-host Jamie replied: 'You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum.' The loved-up couple started dating in 2022 and, after an Ibiza engagement,they got at Hulne Priory in Alnwick, Northumberland with a Glastonbury-inspired wedding. Plenty of famous faces were in attendance, including Big Brother host AJ Odudu and radio presenters Vernon Kay and Scott Mills. Got a story?

Kaiser Chiefs were 'glad something terrible happened' to their Glastonbury set
The Kaiser Chiefs' Glastonbury 2025 performance was a highlight for many at Worthy Farm, but 'something terrible happened'. As the Ruby hitmakers opened the Pyramid Stage for day two of the festival (Saturday, June 27), complaints flooded social media. It turned out the BBC had no plans to air the set, which marked the iconic band's 20th anniversary. Lead singer Ricky Wilson saw the outcry but admitted it doesn't feel like a Kaiser Chiefs show when everything is going right. 'We're most comfortable when things are going wrong, even like when we were the Glastonbury and it was, like, my favourite show ever,' the 47-year-old musician shared. Speaking on Radio X with Dan O'Connell, Ricky continued: 'Best day. I loved it. The crowd turned up. There was like 100,000 people in the field. Amazing. 'Then they said it wasn't on iPlayer. And I was like, 'Well, that's really rubbish.' 'I'm glad something terrible happened, because it wouldn't be the Kaiser Chiefs if it all went to plan.' He added: 'The thing is, bands that everything goes really well, then just to suddenly disappear. But bands that go up and down have a need to fight back all the time. 'It's weird, because we're very happy being the underdogs.' Those underdogs were marking two decades since the release of their debut album, Employment, which was the fourth best-selling album that year. The record produced iconic hits like Oh My God, I Predict a Riot, and Everyday I Love You Less and Less. It was shortlisted — as Ricky said it 'came second' — for the Mercury Prize that year but the singer revealed he couldn't appreciate the success at the time. 'It was weird,' he shared. 'We knew it was going really well; you can't really compute it when you're so tired. 'And I think any new band who aren't feeling like on the verge of death with tiredness, you're not doing it properly!' While the set did appear on iPlayer later, fans were furious it wasn't aired live and were particularly vocal about it on X at the time. Ninety_88 questioned: 'How can you put Kaiser Chiefs on to open on a Saturday and not televise it?' More Trending 'BBC iPlayer stating they are live, when in actual fact it's 2 presenters talking and showing the acts from last night, when we have all tuned in to watch Kaiser Chiefs who are actually live on stage now! What a let down,' added melcastle1875. The I Predict A Riot hitmakers even addressed the drama on their Instagram, writing: 'Apologies to everyone who attempted to tune in yesterday, we appreciate you wanting to join the party from home alongside the almost one hundred thousand of you who filled the field! Such a lovely crowd!' Kaiser Chiefs' Glastonbury set has since been removed from iPlayer, along with other 2025 sets. Got a story?
