AI attractiveness bot reveals world's most beautiful singer – as celebs such as Taylor Swift & Dua Lipa vie for top spot

POP superstar Taylor Swift is the most attractive singer on the planet, according to analysis by artificial intelligence. She scored 9.14 out of ten after her images were run through an attractiveness program. 11 Fellow US singers Demi Lovato and Lana Del Rey came second and third with scores of 9.10 and 8.93. An AI program processed images using the golden ratio, equal to 1.618 and studied since antiquity to analyse objects' proportions. The closer the ratios of a face or body are to 1.618, the more beautiful they are deemed to be. After examining images of 140 musical artists — both male and female — for gaming site 1377, South Korean boyband star Jungkook was rated the fourth most attractive, followed by Brits Adele and Dua Lipa in fifth and sixth. US rapper Megan Thee Stallion was seventh and ex-One Direction star Zayn Malik eighth. Country star Kacey Musgraves and former The Voice UK coach Meghan Trainor made up the top ten. 11 But there was no spot for Right Said Fred pair Fred and Richard Fairbrass, who had a No2 hit in 1991 with I'm Too Sexy. A 1377 spokesman said: 'This study raises questions about how beauty standards are being reinforced by algorithms. "As AI tools become more mainstream, we need to be aware of how they may replicate narrow or biased ideals of attractiveness.' It's not just stars who can feel the benefits of AI.

Rihanna in major career boost after axing London gigs following third pregnancy with partner ASAP Rocky

WITH baby number three on the way, Rihanna could be forgiven for wanting to just put her feet up for the foreseeable. But after we revealed in March that she cancelled a string of live dates for this year, my insiders have told me her tour is now back on for next year. And the shows will see her performing in the UK for the first time in a decade. A source said: 'Rihanna pulled the plug just days before her 2025 tour was due to be announced. 'There ended up being issues with production and scheduling conflicts, plus she didn't feel like her music was ready. 'But Rihanna and her team are now confident they can make it work for next year. 'The dates will also coincide with the tenth anniversary of [her last album] Anti, and fans can expect to hear her new music too. 'Rihanna might be pregnant with her third baby but she is the ultimate working mum and has the support of her partner A$ap Rocky. 'It's going to be incredible for her fans and she can't wait to be back out on stage.' Before Rihanna dramatically pulled the plug on her shows this summer at the 11th hour, she had reserved six dates at the London Stadium for July. The decision to cull the shows means she now has time to make sure she is totally happy with her next album — and it gives her time to focus on her new baby. Dream come true Rihanna is one of the best-selling artists ever, with more than 250million records sold worldwide. Pregnant Rihanna's third baby's gender revealed as partner A$AP Rocky slips and leaks news on Smurfs red carpet As well as nine UK No1 singles, including We Found Love and Only Girl (In The World), she has built a huge beauty and cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty. Being honest, it makes me feel tired just looking at what Ri-Ri juggles. To see her back on stage in the UK would be a dream come true for next year, especially after the incredible summer of music we're having right now. Drake Jet jest DRAKE swaps private planes for budget airlines in a Jet2 meme that went viral. The holiday firm has featured in an unlikely TikTok trend along with the audio to their ad, which uses Jess Glynne's song Hold My Hand. 7 Drake posed in front of Jet2 branding at a UK airport and joked: 'From Jet2 to 2Jets ya musta mad.' I'm sure he'll get discounted tickets if his private plane is ever grounded. It comes after Mariah Carey used the audio from the advert on a post this week. SI'S PEGG-ER OUT IN VID SIMON PEGG has revealed he got his todger out for a joke in a home video with wife Maureen – and accidentally played it to his parents-in-law at Christmas. The Hot Fuzz star told the Wrong Turns podcast: 'Everyone was gathered around the TV. I found a video cassette . . . it's of my wife and myself on holiday in Catalonia. Maureen comes up and she's wearing this nice summer dress. 'Then I step in front of the camera saying, 'I'm wearing this . . . ' and as I'm watching myself, a little tremor of a memory comes back to me. 'But not before I pulled down my trousers and shorts, grabbed my penis, and I go, 'This is my shirt, this is my shorts, this is my penis.' 'Not only that, I swing it around, you know, the helicopter trick.' Bet they all left the pigs in blankets. Shak has new lock SHAKIRA took a short break from her mammoth Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour to launch her new haircare range. The Hips Don't Lie singer, who looked pretty in pink, celebrated her new brand Isima with fans at a pop-up in Los Angeles. 7 7 The singer, who has natural curls, said she chose to create the brand after years of damaging her own hair. She said: 'I've been one of those women who come out of the beauty salon crying. 'I've been blonde, I've had red hair, and I've worn my hair straight. 'I had keratin treatments done. My hair has been through a lot of trauma.' I'm with you, Shak. My barnet is like straw. ORITSE SET ON SOLO LIFE JLS singer Oritse Williams is relaunching his solo career – ten years after his first solo EP Waterline. A source close to the singer said: 'Oritse has been busy in the studio and has come up with a selection of songs that he thinks are perfect for him and represent him away from the JLS boys. 7 'He will always consider himself a JLS member but this is something that he has wanted to do for some time. 'It's an important creative outlet for him away from the JLS shows.' Oritse will hit the road with his bandmates Aston Merrygold, JB Gill and Marvin Humes later this year. The group will kick off their The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on November 6. A less freaky Friday, Lindsay LINDSAY LOHAN kept things in the family for the Freakier Friday London premiere. The actress flew in with husband Bader Shammas and their two-year-old son Luai. 7 And instead of hitting up a wild after-party, she celebrated with a posh meal at Cantonese restaurant China Tang, part of the The Dorchester Hotel, in Mayfair. At the premiere, Lindsay was asked what she misses about the early Noughties, when the original Freaky Friday film was released. She replied: 'I am happy today. I think we always reminisce, we don't have to miss.'

BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty faces investigation into ‘hard' and ‘bullying' behaviour after string of complaints

THE BBC is set to launch an investigation into Naga Munchetty following a string of complaints. The Breakfast host, 50, has been placed 'under review' while bosses consider escalating matters to a formal investigation. 4 4 A source said bosses had heard from a number of aggrieved colleagues, logging concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour on BBC Breakfast and her Radio 5 Live show. She had also been hauled in by bosses over allegations she made an off-air sex jibe at 5 Live. The source said: 'Following the amount of people who have come forward to share their experiences with Naga, the BBC has officially moved to place the complaints under review. "The review is to ascertain whether a full-on investigation is required and that could come in weeks.' We have reported she faced complaints on 5 Live including a bullying claim and the use of crude, sexual language. Bosses were forced to apologise on her behalf after a tense interview with Spice Girl Geri Horner in 2023. A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously and will not tolerate behaviour that is not in line with our values. 'We have robust processes in place and would encourage any staff with concerns to raise them directly with us so they can be addressed.' Her conduct came under the spotlight after a probe into the award-winning show's director, Richard Frediani. "He has returned to work following the investigation into his conduct, including a claim he 'physically shook' a female worker. BBC star Naga Munchetty hauled in by bosses over allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer and 'made an off-air sex jibe' A second 'listening' review by HR has encouraged staff to share ang grievances about Frediani, Munchetty and her co-host Charlie Stayt. Munchatty began work on BBC Breakfast in 2014 and covers Thursday to Saturday alongside Stayt, as well as presenting a Radio 5 programme three times a week. She is the BBC's 10th highest earner, on around £355,000. We reported since the bullying row had erupted on BBC Breakfast, her team had approached LBC radio to seek out new opportunities. 4
