‘Stand up': Star's proposal to boyfriend divides
The 27-year-old, who rose to prominence as a child actor on the Disney television show Shake It Up and in movies like Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's Blended, has just gotten down on one knee and asked her boyfriend to marry her.
The romantic gesture isn't just surprising in the fact that she's forgone the tradition of the man proposing and popped the question herself, but it is also slightly random, because the pair are already engaged - and have been since 2024.
Ms Thorne didn't offer much explanation but posted a clip of her proposing on social media to her millions of followers.
'3 years ago we met, 1 year later he proposed, now year 1 later, so did I,' she wrote.
There is some music over the top of the video, so you can't hear Mr Emms' response, but he clearly said yes.
The 45-year-old even covered his mouth with his hand in shock before dropping to his knees and joining the former Disney star on the ground.
It was quite the romantic scene but the proposal really baffled people online. While some commented on how 'sweet' it was and gushed over the couple, many didn't like the idea of a woman proposing to a man.
'Girl stand up. I'm saying this with love,' one advised.
'If he had already proposed. Why did you do it? I'm confused,' another said.
'Okay ladies. Let's not normalise this okay?' One wrote.
'Girl you cannot be serious,' someone else said
'Get up,' someone instructed.
One social media user commented that you 'don't ever propose to a man,' another countered, that argument saying everyone should leave Ms Thorne alone and 'let her cook' and propose to her boyfriend.
The lovebirds originally got engaged after just nine months of dating. Emms, 45, works behind the scenes as a producer, and owns a bar in New York City and the pair met at model Cara Delevingne's birthday party.
Ms Thorne has previously shared on social media that the two have been 'through every emotion together and I love them all equally' and she has told People that the pair have even seen a therapist before marriage.
'We're still really learning each other's traits, and trying to get them right before we get married,' she said.
She added that the wedding planning is 'going great' and said it has been a 'wow' experience to find her partner.
'Every day we kind of draw closer. It's really like, 'Oh wow, we're really, and you're my partner.' Let's do this together,' she said.
'So that kind of becomes more real every day and kind of solidifies our partnership more and more every day.'

Priscilla, Superman actor Terence Stamp dead at 87
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Terence Stamp, the British actor who became synonymous with Swinging London in the 1960s, has died, his family said Sunday, according to Reuters. He was 87 years old. Stamp first came to prominence when he took on the titular role in the 1962 film Billy Budd . The black and white drama, directed by Peter Ustinov, who also starred, saw Stamp nominated for an Academy Award for best supporting actor - the only Oscar nomination of his lengthy career. He went on to star in a host of films in the 1960s, among them John Schlesinger's Thomas Hardy adaptation Far From the Madding Crowd and Ken Loach's first feature film, Poor Cow . Terence Stamp has died at the age of 87. (AP) Stamp was a star who rose from humble beginnings in London's East End, about as far from Hollywood as you can get. He was born on July 22, 1938, to parents Ethel and Thomas, a merchant seaman. In a 2013 interview with the British Film Institute (BFI), Stamp revealed that his father tried to deter him from a career in showbiz. "He genuinely believed that people like us didn't do things like that," he said. But his mother, he said, "loved every second of it." Terence Stamp and Julie Christie starred in a 1967 adaptation of the Thomas Hardy classic, "Far from the Madding Crowd." (THA/Shutterstock via CNN) "In retrospect, my mother must have always wanted me to do it and must have wished that she could have been more supportive. But my dad was the head of the family and I never really knew what he thought of it because he was of that generation," he said. "He was a merchant seaman, he shovelled coal, and in that confined living quarters any show of emotion would have been considered unbearably flash." Stamp would become one of the biggest figures of 1960s London, romantically linked to model Jean Shrimpton and actresses Julie Christie - his Far From the Madding Crowd co-star - and Brigitte Bardot. Hugo Weaving, Terence Stamp, and Guy Pearce in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". (Sydney Morning Herald) His only marriage came in 2002 - to an Australian pharmacist 35 years his junior - but that lasted just six years, according to the Guardian. Stamp famously roomed with fellow actor Michael Caine, who was also a rising star at the time. The pair lost touch, however, as he disclosed in an interview with The Guardian newspaper in 2015. "We just went different ways. I can understand it: in many ways he was much more mature than me," he said of Caine, who was five years older. "Caine gave me all my early values, like making sure you were doing good stuff, waiting for the right things – then as soon as he got away he did exactly the opposite. Went from one movie to another." After a few years away from the screen, Stamp appeared in the 1978 blockbuster Superman as the superhero's adversary, General Zod. He reprised the role of the comic book villain in the sequel two years later. More than two decades later Stamp went on to voice the role of Superman's father Jor-El in the TV series Smallville . His many screen credits also included his role as drag queen and trans woman Bernadette in the 1990s Australian comedy The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert . Of his eclectic career - including roles in Hollywood's Wall Street and The Adjustment Bureau - he told The Guardian that he had no ambitions, adding: "I've had bad experiences and things that didn't work out; my love for film sometimes diminishes but then it just resurrects itself. "I never have to gee myself up, or demand a huge wage to get out of bed in the morning. I've done crap, because sometimes I didn't have the rent. But when I've got the rent, I want to do the best I can." entertainment Movies celebrities UK World CONTACT US Property News: Rubbish-strewn house overtaken by mould asks $1.2 million.

Victoria Beckham's ‘body-image issues will feature in upcoming documentary'
Victoria Beckham's 'body-image issues' will reportedly feature in her upcoming documentary. The 51-year-old former Spice Girl is putting out a new Netflix docuseries which premieres in September, and insiders say it will involve the singer-turned-fashion designer speaking candidly about the impact of decades of pressure from being in the public eye. Page Six reported the show 'reveals how years of negative attention led to body-image issues and a restricted diet'. An industry insider told the outlet: 'When you look back in hindsight at the media environment in the '90s, it was super hard. 'There was a huge scrutiny on Victoria's appearance and her weight. 'I think the audience will have some understanding of what she went through.' Victoria has already admitted 'there are tears' in the footage of her three-part show, adding to Bloomberg: 'And it did occur to me the other day, what am I going to think when I see those tears on a huge screen? Or on an iPhone?' Titled Victoria Beckham, the series follows Victoria as she prepares to stage the largest fashion show of her career during Paris Fashion Week in September 2024 for her eponymous brand. Her husband, David Beckham, 50, and their children make brief appearances, including Brooklyn, 25, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, though the footage was filmed before the family's reported recent estrangement. Victoria's mis-treatment by the public and British media has already been shown in the 2023 Emmy-winning Netflix docuseries Beckham about her husband David. It saw her recall being the subject of X-rated chants from crowds at his soccer games, saying, 'It's embarrassing, it's hurtful.' Sources also told Page Six her new documentary will see Victoria looking back on archival footage including when TV presenter Chris Evans pushed her to be weighed live on air in 1999 — just two months after she gave birth to Brooklyn. David has said on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast about Victoria's strict diet: 'Unfortunately I'm married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years. Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables. She will very rarely deviate from that.' She has revealed her occasional indulgence is tequila. The new documentary is also set to chart Victoria's journey from Posh Spice to fashion designer, highlighting her struggles to establish and sustain her brand. Victoria told Bloomberg: 'I've been very defined by a four-year period in my life when I was in the Spice Girls. And I am so proud of that. But with that came all the preconceptions. 'I've been in the fashion industry creating my own collections for nearly 20 years. And it's taken this long for me to feel confident enough in what I do and my brand, knowing that now is the time that I can talk about my past.'

Terence Stamp, 60s icon and Superman villain, dies
British actor Terence Stamp, a leading man of 1960s cinema before reinventing himself in a series of striking roles -- including as Superman villain General Zod -- has died aged 87, UK media cited his family announcing Sunday. "He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come," media quoted the family saying. Stamp, exploded on to the screen in the 1960s as a leading man, even then sometimes playing troubled characters. At one point, he seemed to specialise in playing brooding villains Later still, he broke out of that typecasting to play a partying transgender woman in "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert". From Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Theorem" to a villain's role in one of the "Star Wars" films, the handsome leading man captivated audiences in both art house films and Hollywood blockbusters. He lent his magnetic presence to more than 60 films during a career that spanned a range of genres. - Heroes and villains - The London actor from a working-class background, born on July 22, 1938, had his first breakthrough in in Peter Ustinov's "Billy Budd". His performance as a dashing young sailor hanged for killing one of his crewmates, earned him an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe for Best New Actor. Carving out a niche for his alluring depictions of broody villains, he won Best Actor at Cannes in 1965 for "The Collector", a twisted love story adapted by William Wyler from John Fowles's bestselling novel. His 1967 encounter with Federico Fellini was transformative. The Italian director was searching for the "most decadent English actor" for his segment in an adaptation of "Spirits of the Dead", a collection of Edgar Allen Poe stories. Fellini cast him as "Toby Dammit", a drunken actor seduced by the devil in the guise of a little girl. Another Italian great, Pasolini, who cast him in the cult classic "Theorem", saw him as a "boy of divine nature". In the 1969 film, Stamp played an enigmatic visitor who seduced an entire bourgeois Milanese family. - 'Kneel before Zod!' - He also had a relationship with Jean Shrimpton -- a model and beauty of the sixties -- before she left him towards the end of the decade. "I was so closely identified with the 1960s that when that era ended, I was finished with it," he once told French daily Liberation. But the dry spell did not last long. Stamp revived his career for some of his most popular roles, including in 1980's "Superman II", as Superman's arch-nemesis General Zod. His famous line from that film, "Kneel before Zod!" was spreading online in social media tributes after the news broke of his death. Other roles followed, including that of Bernadette, a transgender woman in "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" (1994), in which Stamp continued his exploration of human ambiguity, this time in fishnet stockings. He continued to pursue a wide-ranging career, jumping between big-budget productions such a villain's role in "The Phantom Menace" one of the Star Wars films to independent films like Stephen Frears's "The Hit".
