Just for One Day review — on stage and off, Geldof goes on the attack
How did Bob Geldof corral the world's biggest pop stars into making first Band Aid and then Live Aid happen? Seeing the real Sir Bob speak to the gala night crowd at the Shaftesbury Theatre at opening night made it all come into focus even more keenly than the sometimes powerful, sometimes goofy, sometimes earnest musical about the events of 1984 and 1985 that preceded it. Geldof was electric. His hair white yet shaggy, his clobber casual yet sharp, he first saluted the show itself for its essential accuracy, never mind his character being some 'cartoon arsehole … just saying 'f***', basically'. The actor Craige Els, who plays Geldof, is actually one of the show's big successes, stalking around all night in double denim with a hangdog expression and a can-do attitude. He's so good you almost forget he's not actually Bob Geldof. Oh, until the real thing comes on to enthuse about how the 10 per cent cut the Band Aid charity gets from ticket prices has already raised almost £1 million. And then moves on to attack the American president's decision to remove funding for USAid on February 1, claiming that since then '300,000 people have died because of Musk, because of Trump, because of Vance'. He chided Keir Starmer for cutting Britain's foreign aid budget too. 'But mainly,' he added, 'this is the most fun in the West End you're ever going to have.' On that point, let's quibble. Not because Just for One Day is a horror — this larky-cum-lyrical reinvention of Geldof and co's incredible achievements is tighter than it was when it opened last year at the Old Vic, and features some breathtaking moments of music. Yet it's at least as frustrating as it is inspiring. It's neither a straight jukebox retelling — much though it is fuelled by dozens of the songs played in London and Philadelphia on July 13, 1985 — nor quite its own thing, much though it presents everything through a modern prism. A young character, Jemma, notes the surfeit of white straight males on stage at Live Aid, but they are in the minority on stage at the Live Aid musical. It's all retold by Suzanne, who was at Wembley as an 18-year-old. Her 18-year-old, Jemma, is up for hearing mum's memories, dubious of the lyrics of Do They Know It's Christmas. Geldof puts paid to such 'white saviour' quibbles so swiftly it was barely worth raising them. Indeed, there is a simpler, probably better version of this show that just gets on with biffing out the hits of that day loud and proud and in period style. After all, the six-piece band on the riser upstage are as tremendous as Geldof (the real one) says they are. But no: like some theatrical Red Nose Day, Luke Sheppard's production and John O'Farrell's script are a bumpy blend of some funny routines, some unfunny routines and some strenuously serious routines. Geldof is a great impression, George Ure (no relation) is a lifelike Midge Ure, and Julie Atherton excels as a twin-set-and-pearly-wearing Margaret Thatcher, bursting into Elton John's I'm Still Standing. Beyond that, though, verisimilitude is verboten. The large multitasking chorus play the real-life characters in their own voices and sing the song extracts (really well) their own way. Fine, but when it's so bitty there is little time for the music to build up a head of steam, to feel better than second-hand. When it does — on an extended version of Message in a Bottle or My Generation, say, or when the Queen songs get the most out of the massed chorus of voices — it can take your breath away. Shame a rock musical doesn't trust more in the power of rock. ★★★☆☆ 150min Shaftesbury Theatre, London, to Jan 10,

Nepo baby influencer sobs as she pleads GUILTY to being three-and-a-half times drink-drive limit
NEPO baby influencer Gabriella Bardsley sobbed as she pleaded guilty to drink-driving today. The stunning brunette, 23, daughter of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley, admitted being three-and-a-half times the alcohol limit. 10 Gabriella, whose stepdad is ex-Manchester United footballer Phil Bardsley, was arrested on May 11 behind the wheel of her Audi A3. Crewe Magistrates' Court was told how she approached the scene of a road traffic collision in Wilmslow and 'attempted to drive through the police blockade'. Charlie Hayward, prosecuting, said when officers approached her she was visibly intoxicated and 'slurring her words' and 'struggling' to stand on her feet. She refused a road-side breath test and was taken to a nearby police station and was found to have 122 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath - the UK legal limit being only 35 micrograms. The influencer, who stood in the dock in a black jacket and white trousers, pleaded guilty when the charge of drink-driving was put to her. Her lawyer Gary Hughes told the court that she was of 'hitherto good character'. But they handed her an interim driving ban and she sobbed as she left court, comforted by her former Sunderland defender father. Gabriella could face an unlimited fine and/or disqualification from driving when she's sentenced on July 14. The influencer appears on ITVX series The Bardsley Bunch alongside her famous parents and younger brothers Rocco, Renz and Ralphi. Her stepdad Phil began his career at Man Utd before joining Sunderland in 2008. He also played for the Scottish national team before hanging up his boots for good in 2023. 10 10 10 10 10

Jennie Garth's crushing discovery after daughter found her own dad Peter Facinelli on DATING app
Jennie Garth opened up about the crushing discovery that she made after her eldest daughter accidently came across her dad Peter Facinelli's dating profile. The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, 53 - who recently bared it all for her first underwear shoot - opened up about the incident during an appearance on Thursday's episode of the I Do, Part 2 podcast. The actress shares three children - Luca Bella, 27, Lola, 22, and Fiona, 18 - with the Twilight actor, Peter Facinelli, whom she divorced in 2013. While talking to fellow host Jana Kramer and guest J.P. Rosenbaum, Garth revealed she discovered her ex husband was looking to date a woman in the same age range as their eldest daughter. 'My ex-husband Peter, I was told, was on Raya.' she explained. 'And his age, whatever range, that he was looking for was also the age range of his oldest daughter.' Jennie then revealed that their daughter Luca had been the one that 'came across' her own father's profile on the dating app. While it is not known exactly when the former couple's eldest child discovered her dad's Raya dating profile, he has since gotten into a relationship with Lily Anne Harrison. The pair became engaged back in 2020 and they also share one child - a son named Jack, two. Jennie has also moved on in her love life and married Dave Abrams in 2015 and they will celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary next month in July. During an episode of her own I Choose Me podcast last year, the actress reflected on her co-parenting relationship with Facinelli following their split. She stated, 'That's what Peter and I ultimately wanted more than anything was to have our friendship back and be able to co-parent in a healthier way because we had been doing it all wrong for a while.' The star added, 'The girls are so happy and there's just a big weight off my shoulders. That's a conflict I don't need to carry anymore.' And while talking to the New York Post back in 2023, Peter explained, 'I always feel like as long as the parents, the co-parents, are getting along and we're happy, the kids are happy. 'You know what I mean? It's when nobody wants to choose sides. No, they love mom and dad equally.' She stated, 'That's what Peter and I ultimately wanted more than anything was to have our friendship back and be able to co-parent in a healthier way because we had been doing it all wrong for a while'; former couple seen in 1998 in Westwood The actor continued, 'As long as they feel safe in both homes and they have the support of both families. And as long as both co-parents are on the same side in terms of what the rules are in the house.' Facinelli then told the outlet that 'when you're not in agreement' is the 'worst thing.' The exes have enjoyed mini reunions in recent years - such as last summer as they had a 'Family Day Out.' They celebrated the Fourth of July holiday with their three children - and Peter's son Jack as well as fiancee Lily Anne Harrison were also spotted during the festivities. At the time, the blended family had a blast while spending time on a boat and Jennie uploaded photos to Instagram that had captured special moments from the outing. And earlier this month, Garth and Facinelli reunited once again to celebrate their youngest child's high school graduation. Their 18-year-old daughter Fiona officially graduated from Notre Dame High School in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles. Garth jumped to her main Instagram page to share snaps from the big day - and one group picture showed Facinelli also attending the outdoor ceremony. 'She did it!! My baby girl graduated high school! I am so beyond proud of her!! My heart is filled with so much excitement to see her fly! I love you so much,' the actress wrote in the caption. And on Thursday's episode of Jennie's podcast I Choose Me, she had the chance to talk to Fiona about the milestone. At one point, they called Facinelli to also get his thoughts on his youngest daughter officially graduating high school. The actor jokingly revealed that they had called him when he was in the shower and said he was 'naked and dripping wet.' Garth quipped with, 'That's a visual for our listeners,' and added that she would need to 'scrub my eyeballs.' Peter then admitted that he felt 'very numb' over Fiona's recent graduation and further explained, 'Honestly, it's been a very numbing experience. Yeah. I don't know if it's all hit me yet. 'You know, you're our baby, so you're all growing up and it's a whole new chapter. And I feel like I don't know how to feel. I really feel like I haven't fully experienced all the emotions.' Fiona revealed that she also feels a bit 'numb' but is also 'really happy and I feel like kind of just at peace.' Jennie has been keeping busy and recently took part in her first underwear shoot at the age of 53. The actress paused for an assortment of snaps for the brand ThirdLove and modeled the company's new TempSync bras. Garth exuded confidence for the lingerie photoshoot and showcased her toned midriff. In the caption of the post, the star gushed that she has 'never felt more confident, or comfortable in my skin' and added she is 'proud to be part of this moment...'
