AFTER splitting from American singer Doja Cat earlier this year, Joseph Quinn – aka the Human Torch – has been busy swiping on dating app Raya.
And it seems the hunt for a new flame has landed him a glamorous admirer.

Joe, whose new film, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, is out now, was photographed on a night out with model Amelia Zerbe at Chateau Marmont in LA.
An onlooker told me: 'Joseph and Amelia were really low key and, when they left, they made sure they went separately.
'He went ahead and got into the car before Amelia joined him.
'It seemed like they were on a date, but were keen not for anyone to notice them.'
Given how public his romance with Doja was, I'm not surprised Joe is keen to keep things on the low.
His life will soon turn completely upside down when he starts filming Sam Mendes' Beatles films.
The director will create four films based on the lives of George Harrison Sir Paul Mccartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon.
While Joe is playing George, Paul Mescal will be McCartney, Harris Dickinson is set to portray John and Barry Keoghan has signed up as Ringo.
Barry has already spent six months in a Beatles bootcamp learning how to drum like Ringo.
And Joe admitted he's also been hard at it for the past month or so.
He said: 'We've had five weeks of rehearsal. It's a fascinating process.
'Being around those guys, Paul, Barry and Harris, I think that they are very deeply talented men, thoughtful men, good, hard workers.
'I'm very inspired by them and we're all kind of going through this process together.
'There's more work to be done but I'll get back to it soon.'
Joe will return to rehearsals for the Beatles film later this summer, with the four lads expected to start filming at the end of the year.
Given how hectic his schedule is, he deserves a medal if he manages to keep a steady girlfriend at the same time.
Maybe the Human Torch has a burning desire to make it work . . .

Diddy plotting major career comeback after prison release, rapper's lawyer claims… amid Trump pardon talks

Sean ' Diddy ' Combs is aiming to headline Madison Square Garden. Marc Agnifilo, the head lawyer for the 55-year-old music mogul, told CBS Mornings that the I'll Be Missing You vocalist has his sights set on the New York City staple for a comeback concert. 'He's going to be back at Madison Square Garden - and I said I'll be there,' the lawyer told the network's Jericka Duncan in a segment slated to air Thursday. Agnifilo told Duncan that Diddy told him he wants to 'get back with his mother, and the people who love him and miss him.' Duncan asked the attorney, 'So he's talked to you about getting back into music?' Agnifilo replied, 'No - honestly, he has not - OK, one thing he said, he said' was that he's 'going to be back in Madison Square Garden. Duncan asked 'Doing what?' to which Agnifilo responded, 'I guess being on stage, you know?' Daily Mail has reached out to reps for Combs for further comment on the story. The chatter about the rapper's future comes amid news his legal team has been in contact with President Donald Trump's administration about a potential pardon. Diddy was cleared on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in his criminal trial in New York City last month. The Satisfy You artist was convicted in connection with federal prostitution violations - and has been denied bail - but has a hearing on slate for October. Diddy has been held in a New York City jail since he was arrested last fall in connection with the federal charges. Under the counts he was convicted of - transportation to engage in prostitution - Diddy faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in custody. He could have been held for life had he been convicted on the other charges. Attorneys for the hip-hop stalwart said Diddy should be allowed a bond of $1 million to go free until sentencing. Prosecutors maintained Diddy was still was a flight risk in the wake of th verdicts.

Eddie Palmieri, pioneering Latin jazz musician and Grammy winner, dies aged 88

Eddie Palmieri, the avant-garde musician who was one of the most innovative artists of rumba and Latin jazz, has died aged 88. Fania Records announced Palmieri's death Wednesday evening. Palmieri's daughter Gabriela told the New York Times her father died earlier that day at his home in New Jersey after 'an extended illness'. The pianist, composer and bandleader was the first Latino to win a Grammy award, in 1975 for the album The Sun of Latin Music, and he would win seven more over a career that spanned nearly 40 albums. He kept releasing music into his 80s, even performing through the early coronavirus pandemic via livestreams. Palmieri was born in New York's Spanish Harlem in 1936, at a time when music was seen as a way out of the ghetto. He began studying the piano at an early age, like his famous brother Charlie Palmieri, but at age 13, he began playing timbales in his uncle's orchestra, overcome with a desire for the drums. He eventually abandoned the instrument and went back to playing piano. 'I'm a frustrated percussionist, so I take it out on the piano,' the musician once said in his website biography. In a 2011 interview with the Associated Press, when asked if he had anything important left to do, he responded with his usual humility and good humour: 'Learning to play the piano well ... Being a piano player is one thing. Being a pianist is another.' Palmieri dabbled in tropical music as a pianist during the 1950s with the Eddie Forrester Orchestra. He later joined Johnnie Seguí's band and Tito Rodríguez's before forming his own band in 1961, La Perfecta, alongside trombonist Barry Rogers and singer Ismael Quintana. La Perfecta was the first to feature a trombone section instead of trumpets, something rarely seen in Latin music. With its unique sound, the band quickly joined the ranks of Machito, Tito Rodríguez, and other Latin orchestras of the time. Palmieri produced several albums on the Alegre and Tico Records labels, including the 1971 classic Vámonos Pa'l Monte, with his brother Charlie as guest organist. Charlie Palmieri died in 1988. Eddie's unconventional approach would surprise critics and fans again that year with the release of Harlem River Drive, in which he fused Black and Latin styles to produce a sound that encompassed elements of salsa, funk, soul and jazz. Later, in 1974, he recorded The Sun of Latin Music with a young Lalo Rodríguez, and the album became the first Latin production to win a Grammy. Eight-time winner Palmieri was instrumental in the creation of the best Latin jazz album category at the Grammys in 1995; when the category was eliminated in 2011, he accused the academy of 'marginalizing our music, culture and people even further'. The category was reinstated the following year. In the 1980s, he won two more Grammy awards, for the albums Palo Pa' Rumba (1984) and Solito (1985). Palmieri released the album Masterpiece in 2000, which teamed him with the legendary Tito Puente, who died that year. It was a hit with critics and won two Grammy awards. The album was also chosen as the most outstanding production of the year by the National Foundation for Popular Culture of Puerto Rico. During his long career, he participated in concerts and recordings with the Fania All-Stars and Tico All-Stars, standing out as a composer, arranger, producer and orchestra director. In 1988, the Smithsonian Institution recorded two of Palmieri's concerts for the catalog of the National Museum of American History in Washington. Yale University in 2002 awarded him the Chubb fellowship award, an award usually reserved for international heads of state, in recognition of his work in building communities through music. Over his career, Palmieri worked with renowned musicians such as timbalero Nicky Marrero, bassist Israel 'Cachao' López, trumpeter Alfredo 'Chocolate' Armenteros, trombonist Lewis Khan and Puerto Rican bassist Bobby Valentín. In 2010, Palmieri said he felt a bit lonely musically due to the deaths of many of the rumberos with whom he enjoyed playing with.

Former child star reveals they went to 'weight loss camp' for Hunger Games role that Jennifer Lawrence won

Former child star Alyson Stoner revealed that they went to a 'medical weight loss camp' in preparation to audition for the lead role in The Hunger Games - which went to Jennifer Lawrence. The 31-year-old Camp Rock alum — who previously ended their feud with Demi Lovato — got candid about the 'strenuous' lengths they took in their upcoming memoir Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything which hits shelves on August 12. Alyson — who came out as queer in 2018 and uses they/them pronouns — described the workout regime and diet they underwent while simultaneously battling an eating disorder. In an excerpt of the book, per Vanity Fair, the star penned that playing Katniss would be the 'ultimate role' and 'ultimate strong female lead.' They continued, 'But the role was playing with fire for me. Katniss was characteristically thin — not starving, but small enough to reflect growing up in an underfed district — and muscular from hunting and archery. 'If I was going to devote myself to checking every box of the character description, I had to commit to strenuous training without fully succumbing to my eating disorder.' Alyson began undergoing more intense workouts months before the audition. The star explained that they were ready for such a pivotal role in their career and explained, 'I'd spent my whole career erring on the side of practicality and it hadn't amounted to a breakthrough. So this time, I jumped for the moon.' At the age of 17, Alyson was approved to attend a 'world-renowned medical weight loss camp' — which offered a two-week program that included 'seven hours of daily exercise on a calorie deficit.' At the time, the former Disney channel star admitted to already being underweight and wrote that they 'didn't recognize the irrational exceptions that doctors (and society) made for Hollywood, because it was all I knew.' Alyson recalled getting a physical done when they were 10 before filming Cheaper By The Dozen. They explained a doctor found a heart murmur but didn't add the discovery to their file 'because it "might stop the production company from letting you work." 'I followed the doctor's orders and ignored the murmur like he did, deducing that Hollywood must exist above medicine, above the law, and even above common sense.' Alyson's initial goal when preparing for the Katniss audition was not to lose weight but instead build muscle. At the age of 17, Alyson was approved to attend a 'world-renowned medical weight loss camp' — which offered a two-week program that included 'seven hours of daily exercise on a calorie deficit'; seen in 2010 at age 17 in NYC 'Doctors and trainers should've never permitted an underweight minor to do seven hours of fourteen-mile hikes, heavy lifting, and high-intensity cardio,' the star penned. 'But all I had to say was that I was training for an acting role. They assessed me as mentally stable and opened the door.' By the end of two weeks, Alyson revealed the results from the intense training and diet and said their 'body fat percentage dropped into the range of elite gymnasts.' The star shared how they became 'hooked' on the regime which negatively affected their immune system and caused massive fatigue as well as lightheadedness. Alyson prepared three scenes for the day of the audition and one of the scenes ended up being cut. They waited to hear back following the audition for days, and their body ended up going into 'starvation mode.' Alyson recalled 'completing the biggest binge of my life' and wrote, 'Twelve hours later, I awoke to a revolting migraine and lethargy. 'Somehow, I was still craving sugar. But before I could think about spoiling another day, I had to face the self-inflicted damage of the night before.' The star added, 'When I stepped onto the scale, I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. What the hell? I gained back every single pound I lost over two months? In a few hours?! It was my worst nightmare. 'My body had held on to every morsel of food and liquid ounce, unsure when it would be fed again. All my progress was erased.' While Alyson did not end up winning the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games franchise, they are known for other projects. The star appeared in movies such as Cheaper By The Dozen (2003), Step Up (2008) as well as the Disney channel movies Camp Rock (2008) and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010). Alyson showcased their dance skills in the past by appearing in Missy Elliot's 2002 music for Work It at the age of nine. They have also previously talked about the effect that the audition preparation for The Hunger Games had on them. During an interview with Access Hollywood in 2022, they explained, 'I am not sure I have ever shared this explicitly, but I was auditioning for The Hunger Games for the lead role, Katniss. 'I was so committed to the audition process that I underwent very intense physical training, and I was on a very restrictive diet.' The star appeared in movies such as Cheaper By The Dozen (2003), Step Up (2008) as well as the Disney channel movies Camp Rock (2008) and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010); seen with Demi Lovato in Camp Rock sequel Alyson admitted to checking themselves into rehab and remembered, 'My hair is starting to fall out, my skin is sallow, and I'm medically underweight. I feel obsessive about these behaviors, and I really need help.' The star has been candid with fans over their struggles with anorexia, bulimia and anxiety. In 2018, Alyson came out as queer and later revealed that they were fired from a children's television show soon after, although they didn't disclose the name of the series. They have continued to voice the character of Isabella in the animated series Phineas And Ferb and attended 2025 Comic Con in San Diego last month to take part in a panel for the show.
