Celine Dion joins Sir Paul McCartney's 3D film
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles
Celine Dion will lead the voice cast of Sir Paul McCartney's 3D animated film.
The 57-year-old music star will work alongside the likes of Himesh Patel and Hannah Waddingham on 'High in the Clouds', the film adaptation of McCartney's 2005 children's adventure novel.
The project i s being directed by Toby Genkel, and he'll oversee a star-studded cast that also includes Idris Elba, Lionel Richie, Jimmy Fallon, Pom Klementieff, Alain Chabat, Clemence Poesy and Sir Ringo Starr, McCartney's former Beatles bandmate.
' High in the Clouds' will feature original songs written and composed by McCartney, who is also serving as a producer on the project.
The film adaptation is being produced by Gaumont Animation, while 88 Pictures is overseeing the animation elements of the movie.
The original adventure novel centres on a teenage squirrel called Wirral, who embarks on a journey to set music free.
McCartney wrote the book with the help of Philip Ardagh, the children's author who has written more than 100 books during his career.
The chart-topping star shared: 'Grandude isn't supposed to be me. Because he's magic and I'm not.' Mc Cartney always enjoyed reading stories to his own children. And the award-winning musician believes there's still a place for traditional storytelling.

Khloe Kardashian hated being forced to talk about father's death
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Khloe Kardashian was 'incredibly angry' after the death of her father Robert Kardashian and she hated being forced to talk about her loss on camera. The 40-year-old reality TV star lost her dad when she was just 19 and she was encouraged to talk about her feelings a few years later when filming her family's reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' - and Khloe insists she found the experience incredibly uncomfortable. During an episode of her podcast 'Khloe in Wonderland' with grief expert David Kessler, she explained: 'For about three years, I was incredibly angry. 'I was filming my show, 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians', and in season one, I remember one of my producers was making me do an interview about my dad 'cause I wouldn't talk about my dad. 'At that time, if I spoke about him, I would just break down.' However, Khloe now realises being forced to confront her feelings was actually a good thing because it helped her move forward.

Orlando Bloom undergoes 10k treatment to remove toxic chemicals
Bang Showbiz | Los Angeles Orlando Bloom has undergone a £10k treatment to remove toxic chemicals from his blood. The 48-year-old actor shared a photo of himself at Clarify Clinic on Monday (09.06.25) where he underwent the two-hour procedure, which can reduce inflammation by removing microplastics, chemicals and toxins from your blood. He wrote alongside the Instagram snap: 'Thanks for the help @clarifyclinics - a new way of removing microplastics and toxic chemicals from our bodies.' The cost of a single session of the procedure - which removes the unwanted elements using CE marked Clari by Marker - starts at £9,750. On the Clarify Clinics website, the organisation explains: 'Your plasma is gently separated from your red and white blood cells in a process called apheresis. 'The plasma is then passed through our safe and effective CE marked Clari column. The damaging substances like microplastics, forever chemicals, and inflammatory proteins are captured and removed. 'Unlike Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) nothing is added to your plasma during this process. 'This means your plasma retains your unique and critical immune balance, electrolytes, clotting factors and cell signaling. 'After the harmful substances are removed, your clean plasma and blood cells are recombined before being returned to you.' Orlando's fiancee Katy Perry recently admitted to her fans in Australia that she'd been struggling with jet lag, particularly because their four-year-old daughter Daisy had been waking her up at 5am. However, she joked any visible signs of tiredness weren't there because she'd had the wrinkle-smoothing injections. She told the crowd: 'You can't tell I'm tired because I got fresh Botox for Australia!' It isn't the first time Katy has confessed to having Botox treatments. Last month, a satirical headline by the Onion joked Katy would be releasing a song called Stop Making Fun of Me alongside a photo of Katy taken in Melbourne last year. She quipped on Instagram in response: 'This photo is clearly photoshopped I would never let my Botox go that long, do better The Onion!'

Dhoni, Amla and Graeme Smith added to ICC Hall of Fame
India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni and South Africa's Hashim Amla and Graeme Smith were among seven new inductees into the International Cricket Council Hall of Fame announced. Also included were Australia's Matthew Hayden and New Zealand's Daniel Vettori, with former Pakistan captain Sana Mir and England's Sarah Taylor recognised for their contributions to the women's game. The induction ceremony took place at London's Abbey Road Studios, where the Beatles recorded many of their hit songs. Abbey Road is just a short walk from Lord's, where the World Test Championship final starts on Wednesday and both captains were among the audience - Australia's Pat Cummins and South Africa's Temba Bavuma. Former India captain Dhoni led his country to 2011 one-day international World Cup glory on home soil, the wicketkeeper-batsman hitting the winning runs on a memorable night in Mumbai. He is also the only captain to have won all three ICC whiteball trophies, after skippering India to the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup title as well as the 2013 Champions Trophy. Dhoni finished his ODI career with an average above 50, having played 350 matches and scored over 10,000 runs -- often expertly helming a run-chase. 'It is an honour to be named in the ICC Hall of Fame, which recognises the contributions of cricketers across generations and from all over the world,' said Dhoni, who featured in this year's Indian Premier League aged 43. 'Proud moment' The stylish Amla was the first South Africa batsman to score a Test-match triple century, making 311 not out against England at the Oval in 2012. He often found himself playing alongside Smith. Thrust into the captaincy aged just 22, Smith led South Africa in a world-record 109 Tests, with the former opening batsman the only player to captain a Test team for over 100 matches. 'It is an honour to be inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, es- pecially alongside Graeme,' Amla said. Smith added: 'This is also a proud moment for South Africa, as two of us have got recognition this year.' Hayden was a mainstay of Australia's dominant sides of the early 2000s, with the powerful opener scoring 30 Test centuries and averaging above 50. Former left-arm spinner Vettori, now an assistant coach with Australia, is one of only three players to score 4,000 runs and take 300 wickets in Tests. Wicket-keeping great Taylor helped England win several global titles, including a 2017 ODI World Cup on home soil, while Mir is the first woman from Pakistan to be included in the Hall of Fame. Off-spinner Mir took 151 ODI wickets and led Pakistan to two Asian Games gold medals, in 2010 and 2014.
