Tensions rife in Beckham feud as Brooklyn buys LA mansion
Brooklyn Beckham has officially bought a US mansion with his wife Nicola Peltz in a move that has been described as a 'dagger to the heart' for his parents after their relationship began to crumble earlier this year. Beckham, 26, and Peltz, 30, closed on an illustrious US$14m (AU$21.7m) property in Hollywood last week after previously renting in the area. The luxurious home boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a state-of-the-art home cinema, a gym, and an infinity pool. The purchase represents a now permanent move to the US, with Beckham showing no sign of returning home anytime soon, a source revealed to The Sun. 'As an influencer he can work anywhere, but Brooklyn believes he has more opportunities in LA. It will be a dagger to the heart for his parents,' the insider said. 'Until now, the couple have always been renting so there was hope his relocation wouldn't be permanent. 'This house purchase quashes any last hopes.' The news comes after the British influencer snubbed his dad, David Beckham on Father's Day despite the football legend proudly sharing photos of his eldest son on Instagram. 'My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad ... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what...,' Beckham, 50, captioned the series of cute family photos. 'Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad... Happy Father's Day... I love you kiddies more than you could imagine..' David Beckham shared never-before-seen photos of his children in a post celebrating Father's Day.

Beckham also recently shared a video of him and Peltz, which he captioned, 'I always choose you.' Earlier in June, fans noticed that Beckham had covered up a chest tattoo that once read 'mama's boy' with a large floral design that appears to replicate Peltz's bridal bouquet.

Ariana Grande shares sad personal news with fans
Don't miss out on the headlines from Celebrity Life. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ariana Grande's beloved grandma Marjorie Grande, whom she affectionately called 'Nonna,' has died. She was 99 years old. 'We are devastated to share that the beloved matriarch of our family has passed away,' read a family statement posted to the singer's Instagram Stories on Tuesday. 'Marjorie 'Nonna' Grande passed peacefully in her home and was surrounded by her family and loved ones for every moment of her last few weeks. 'We thank you for your love, support, and respecting our privacy as we grieve and celebrate her beautiful, extraordinary life,' they concluded. Ariana Grande has announced the sad passing of her beloved 'nonna' Marjorie. Grande shared a photo of Marjorie on her wedding day to Instagram, simply captioning it, 'forever'. The singer, 31, has enjoyed a long and close relationship with her grandmother, who has attended several awards shows with the pop star in the past. In October 2024, Ariana and her family, including her brother, Frankie Grande, came together to celebrate the matriarch's 99th birthday. 'Happy 99th birthday to the Queen … NONNA! I love you so much and I couldn't feel more blessed to celebrate this unbelievable milestone with you and our beautiful family,' Frankie wrote on Instagram alongside their sweet family photo. 'Wow. Happy happy happy Birthday! I love you with all of my heart!' The Grande family celebrated Marjorie's 99th birthday in October last year. Last year, Marjorie made history as the oldest person to ever appear on the Billboard Hot 100 after Ariana featured her on Ordinary Things, which appears on the 2024 album, Eternal Sunshine. Nonna's voice appears at the end of the song as she answers Ariana's question: 'How can I tell if I'm in the right relationship?' 'Never go to bed without kissing goodnight. That's the worst thing to do,' Marjorie says on the song. 'Don't ever ever ever do that. And if you can't, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it, you're in the wrong place. Get out.' Marjorie also had uncredited features on Ariana's 2013 song daydreamin' as well as 2019's bloodline. Marjorie Grande and Ariana Grande at the 2016 Time 100 Gala in New York. Picture:for Time Back in November, the two-time Grammy winner celebrated her performance as Glinda in Wicked by flying to her hometown of Boca Raton, Florida, to watch the blockbuster film with Marjorie, Frankie and Ariana's boyfriend, Ethan Slater. 'Flew to boca for a day to watch with Nonna at the movie theatre I grew up going to every weekend, Cinemark 20 in Boca,' Ariana shared on her Instagram Stories at the time. 'Thrilled to report that when the sugar glider had her drum solo nonna exclaimed loudly 'oh I LOVE that' @jonmchu,' she wrote on another photo, tagging the film's director. Marjorie — who is the mother of Ariana's mum, Joan — encouraged her granddaughter's talent from an early age. In 2014, the matriarch shared that she once urged the singer to audition for a part in a Boca Raton production of Annie. 'I said, you know, Ariana could do that,' she shared on Today. 'She became the star. She auditioned, and she became Annie.'

Six more staffers leave Prince Harry and Meghan's team: report
IN LONDON Prince Harry and Meghan's staffing woes are again in the spotlight with reports six more members of their team have departed recently. Charlie Gipson, their European communications director, and Kyle Boulia, their LA-based deputy press secretary, were let go after barely a year on the job, according to The Sun, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly blaming them for failing to counter a spate of negative media coverage. 'Meghan and Harry always blame everyone else and never themselves,' a source told the publication in the wake of the 'purge'. 'No one ever seems to be good enough for them and yet they fail to understand why things don't change.' MORE: Insane amount Meghan, Harry pay staff The UK's Telegraph later claimed that, in total, a whopping six staff members had left or been fired recently. It's reported that that includes the head of operations at Archewell, Lianne Cashin, Archewell's director of communications, Deesha Tank, and Meghan's social media manager, who was reportedly already gone prior to her posting her viral dance video on Instagram last week. According to The Sun, Harry and Meghan have now employed a team from the US-based Method Communications and hired Emily Robinson – who previously looked after publicity for Netflix's The Crown – as their new director of communications. A former employee of Bill Gates, Sarah Fosmo, is Meghan's new chief of staff. Harry and Meghan's chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, told The Sun the staffing overhaul was about providing better 'access'. 'Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access,' she said in a statement. However, the story is still likely to reignite previous allegations of Meghan's management style, with an unflattering Vanity Fair article earlier this year painting her as a ruthless boss. One ex-staffer compared Meghan to a ' Mean Girls teenager', and described working on her Archetypes podcast as 'really, really awful' and 'very painful'. Others described 'taking extended breaks' to 'escape scrutiny' or 'undergoing long-term therapy' after working with her. Both Harry and Meghan have strenuously denied allegations of poor behaviour toward staff in the past. In a new interview released on Tuesday, Meghan also defended herself more broadly against the wave of criticism she's received since leaving the royal family. Appearing on the Aspire podcast – hosted by Emma Grede, the CEO of the Good American fashion brand and founding partner of Kim Kardashian's Skims line – the Duchess of Sussex was asked: 'If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?' Meghan responded firmly: 'Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth'. 'You're so measured about it, I'm such a hothead … I would just get so angry if I felt like everyone was lying about me all the time … don't you ever feel like just being, like, 'just leave me alone'?' Grede pressed her. 'Peaks and valleys. Of course, I've gone through those chapters and you do a lot of work. You do a lot of self-work and go, 'what's the why? It's happening for a reason'.' 'My dear friend Serena [Williams] … she told me years ago, 'a lie can't live forever'.' She then appeared to make a thinly-veiled reference to her reported struggles upon joining the royal family in 2017, quickly adding: 'Eight years is a long time!'
