Madonna celebrates her 67th birthday in style at luxury Italian villa with VIP dinner, fireworks and trendy Labubu doll cake with one VERY fitting detail

Madonna celebrated her 67th birthday in style at a luxury Italian villa over the weekend surrounded by her nearest and dearest. The singer visited the famous Palio di Siena horse race in Tuscany with her children and then enjoyed a VIP dinner and fireworks back at Sting and Trudie Styler's 16th century Tuscan villa. The exclusive property named Villa Il Palagio is available for private rental and costs £18,000 for two nights, according to The Sun, and sits in 900-acres of picturesque vineyards. Proving she is even still keeping up with Gen Z trends, the superstar was also treated to a huge pink Labubu doll cake with one very fitting detail. The figure featured her iconic conical bra outfit look and said: 'Happy birthday Madudu' at the bottom. For the trip she was joined by her son Rocco, daughter Lourdes Leon and Malawi-born twin daughters Stella and Estere, 12, who she adopted in 2017, and her boyfriend Akeem Morris. Proving she is even still keeping up with Gen Z trends, the superstar was treated to a huge pink Labubu doll cake with one very fitting detail - her iconic conical bra look A source told the publication of the big birthday holiday: 'Everyone turned out to support Madonna and she had an amazing trip. 'She loves to celebrate her birthday in Italy and this was one of the best yet. 'She's been friends with Sting for years so I'm sure he will have sorted her out mates rates for his huge estate.' Swedish fashion designer Bea Åkerlund shared snaps of the celebration to her Instagram account as documented the trip. On the holiday she also enjoyed the Palio di Siena horse race. The pop veteran watched from a balcony with her children as they took in the atmosphere. The historic event has taken place in the Tuscan city of Siena twice a year since medieval times, with the first formal race being organised in 1633. And Madonna, who celebrated her birthday on Saturday, looked engrossed in the spectacle while flanked by her loved ones. Artist son Rocco, 25, her only child with director Guy Ritchie, was stripped to his vest as he accompanied his mother on her special day. A source told The Sun: 'She's been friends with Sting for years so I'm sure he will have sorted her out mates rates for his huge estate' (Sting and his wife Trudie Styler pictured at the house) Eldest daughter Lourdes, 28 - her daughter with dancer Carlos Leon - also joined in on the fun during their appearance in central Italy. It comes after last month Madonna sent fans into a frenzy as she teased her upcoming new music in social media snaps. She confirmed earlier this year that her upcoming album will be a sequel to her hit 2005 album Confessions On A Dance Floor. Sharing an update to Instagram, she posted a behind-the-scenes sneak peek of her time recording in the studio in London, alongside producer Stuart Price. Sharing an array of snaps, Madonna was seen in the recording studio, putting on a busty display in a lace cami top while hard at work recording her new tracks. Madonna could also be seen wearing a t-shirt which said 'Mother' as she strolled around the Big Smoke. Sharing photos from the studio in February, Madonna was seen sitting behind a drum kit, in others she sings into a microphone and in still others she vamps for the camera in the way only Madonna can. 'My Valentine's Day gift to all my fans is to let you know I'm putting my heart and soul into my new music and I can't wait to share it with you!' she wrote. The new album will be her first since 2019's Madame X. No release date, or even estimate of when the new music would drop was revealed by the seven time Grammy winner.

Inside Madonna's lavish 67th birthday bash at luxury Italian villa with VERY on trend cake and VIP dinner

MADONNA may have turned 67 but she is still down with the kids, by having a Labubu birthday cake. The Queen of Pop's birthday treat was shaped just like the must-have toy – only this one was wearing her conical bra outfit. 13 13 I can reveal it was the centrepiece at her birthday celebrations last weekend, which took place at Sting and Trudie Styler's 16th century Tuscan villa. She rented out the property, which costs £18,000 for two nights and had a lavish dinner for her friends and family, as well as a firework display. A source said: 'Everyone turned out to support Madonna and she had an amazing trip. 'She loves to celebrate her birthday in Italy and this was one of the best yet. "She's been friends with Sting for years so I'm sure he will have sorted her out mates rates for his huge estate.' They spent Saturday at the Palio di Siena horse race before retreating to the villa to celebrate. She was joined by close pals and four of her six kids – Lourdes, Rocco, Stella and Estere – and her boyfriend, footballer Akeem Morris. Paying tribute to her on Instagram, Akeem used the Jamaican Patois term for 'best friend' when he wrote: 'Happy birthday my chargieeeee. 'I'll love you in this life and the next. And everyone after.' Madonna takes stage at comedy club with surprise standup gig as star stuns fans with foul-mouthed set and dig at Trump NEW MATERIAL-GIRL CAMILA BOWLS OVER FANS 13 13 TEMPERATURES have been pushing 40 degrees in Japan and Camila Cabello raised them even further in this outfit. She wore a nude latex corset over a netted dress to headline a festival there over the weekend and soaked up the local cuisine by having a bowl of ramen backstage. Hot soup with noodles is the last thing I'd want during a heatwave, but each to their own. Camila wrote on Instagram: 'Thank you Osaka for bearing that insane heat with us and for generally being the cutest!' Fellow singer Tinashe – whose song No Broke Boys is at a new peak of No3 in the charts – was also on the line-up and admitted she struggled through her set. She commented: 'The heat was insane, I almost died.' Forget the ramen, it's time to find a cold shower instead. ALICIA: I WAS DESTINED TO ACT 13 13 ALICIA VIKANDER kicks up her heels as she tells British Vogue she was destined to tread the boards. In the Big Fashion Issue – which features I May Destroy You creator Michaela Coel on the cover – the Swedish Oscar winner reveals she's simply following in her mum Maria's footsteps. She says: 'Stage was what my mum did. It was what I grew up with. I watched Romeo and Juliet 24 times apparently. I had that feeling of being immersed in something completely. 'A bit like when kids watch cartoons over and over. I dreamt of being up there. That was what I visualised. I didn't even think of film – that was so far away, that wasn't real.' Alicia will be taking the leading role in The Lady From The Sea, which opens at the Bridge Theatre in London next month. The September issue of British Vogue is available from today. PINK'S JUST TOE PERFECT 13 PINK not only loves a risky stunt on stage . . . she does them on holiday too. The So What singer balanced on one leg atop a table at a luxury villa while grinning – and even holding a beer – as she took on the 'Nicki Minaj challenge' on TikTok. Pink, who turns 46 next month, looked surprisingly at ease as she balanced precariously in heels and a bikini as part of the viral social media trend. She wrote: 'Why my friends always wait till my third beer to make me do dumb s**t on TikTok.' Even so, she still looks cool doing it. CHERYL'S CREAM OF THE CROP 13 13 CHERYL is back in the spotlight, after signing a mega money deal to become the new face of Nivea. A new ad campaign starring the Girls Aloud singer will be made public today. Yesterday Nivea shared a teaser clip with Chezza, which showed her reading a newspaper and climbing some stairs, to promote the anti-ageing Nivea epigenetics range. It's Cheryl's first big job since the death of Liam Payne, the father of her son Bear, last October. A source said: 'This is a major brand deal for Cheryl, but it's a coup for Nivea to sign her up. 'Cheryl is very particular about who she works with and is rarely seen in public. 'To have her fronting a big campaign like this is brilliant for them. 'It'll have cost them a good six-figure sum to secure her, but it'll pay dividends to have Cheryl on board. 'She still has a massive following and people trust what she says.' If they're flogging a face cream that can help me look a little bit like Cheryl, I'll be buying it. HULLUVA GIG FOR COLDPLAY 13 COLDPLAY kicked off the latest leg of their Music Of The Spheres world tour with the first of two shows in Hull last night. Before the gig, I'm told Chris checked out the local sights, and pints, which Yorkshire has to offer. He was spotted at The Duke of York, in Stainland. He chatted to the locals and handed out Coldplay badges, but asked them not to take pictures. It comes just days after he performed a mini set at the Puzzle Hall Inn in Sowerby Bridge. With ten shows at Wembley coming up, Londoners will be hoping he pops up into their local too. CAL RISKS A MILEY FALLOUT THEY have 14 No1 singles between them, so when Calvin Harris and Miley Cyrus revealed they had teamed up for a single in May last year, I was expecting it to be the song of the summer. But the track, Ocean, never got released after Miley is believed to have backed out. Now Calvin has risked a feud with the US singer after he released new snippets featuring the voice of Jessie Reyez, who co-wrote the song. Asked if Miley's version could still be released, he replied to one fan: 'I'm afraid not.' And quizzed on whether it was Miley's team's fault, he said: 'Nah it was my bad . . . crossed wires.' But in a pointed dig, he added: 'This is wayyy better,' before telling another 'Ooooh it's better now!!'. It's a belting tune, but if he wants fans to blast it while it's still hot, he needs to get a move on. TOM GRENNAN is on track to score his third No1 album with Everywhere I Went, Led Me To Where I Didn't Want To Be. It is in the lead in the midweek update from Official Charts, while US singer Conan Gray is at No2 with Wishbone. While As December Falls with Everything's On Fire But I'm Fine is at No3.

Secluded house in Cornwall where Oasis recorded debut album Definitely Maybe goes up for sale for £1.9million

A HISTORIC Cornwall house where Oasis recorded their debut album has hit the market for nearly £2million. The picturesque property is complete with its own recording studio where the rock duo created their hit record "Definitely Maybe." 9 9 9 Nestled in the depths of Golant, Cornwall, the secluded house is home to The Sawmills Studio, where the Gallagher brothers recorded the landmark 1994 album. The site was established as one of the UK's first residential recording studios in 1974. Since opening, the Cornish studio has hosted an array of iconic artists. Among the iconic albums to be recorded on the site, are Supergrass's "I Should Coco" and "In It For The Money" and The Verve's "A Storm in Heaven." Legendary rock band Muse also created "Showbiz" and "Origin of Symmetry" in the studio. In the wake of Oasis 's UK reunion tour, the property is now up for sale with Stags estate agents for an eye-watering £1,950,000. This signifies the first time in 50 years that the home will be sold on the open market. The idyllic home is only accessible by boat or on foot and boasts an impressive 32 acres of woodland. If that wasn't enough, it is also complete with seven bedrooms, two reception rooms, and a detached two bedroom lodge. The original recording studio remains fully operational too, and occupies the lower ground floor. Oasis lights up Dublin sky It is equipped with a control room, vocal booth, and main live room featuring a Juliet balcony with a view across the creek. The property description reads: "The Old Sawmills enjoys a secluded setting on the western bank of the River Fowey, overlooking a tidal creek and within an area of outstanding beauty. "To be sold on the open market for the first time in 50 years, The Old Sawmills is a truly unique and secluded waterside property set." The listing adds: "Accessible only be boat or on foot, it offers outstanding character and potential in one of Cornwall's most idyllic waterfront settings." In addition to housing a host of famous faces, the property is also steeped in history, occupying the site of a 17th century water mill. It also has roots back to as far as the 11th century. The estate agents even claim there is evidence of early settlement with the site being mentioned in the Domesday Book. The description reads: "A fabulous home that combines historic roots with international music heritage." 9 9 9 9 This impressive home has hit the market following Oasis' sellout reunion tour. After a 16 year hiatus, the band have come back together to play a total of 41 shows. With the tour well underway, the gig is currently the hottest ticket, as the band has proven its legendary impact on the music industry. The Sun also reported earlier this month, that more dates could be on the cards for the brothers. According to a Sun source, they have been offered four huge shows at Knebworth House next year - to mark the 30th anniversary of their two historic concerts there in 1996. If the rockers take up the offer, the shows would see them beating their former foe Robbie Williams' achievement of playing the iconic Hertfordshire venue three times. 9 9
