Molly-Mae shows off her incredible figure in a black bikini while on family holiday in Turkey with boyfriend Tommy Fury and daughter Bambi
Molly-Mae showed off her incredible bikini body as she gave fans a further insight into her fun-filled family holiday to Turkey with Tommy and Bambi on Sunday. The influencer, 26, posted a series of holiday snaps on Instagram that began with her showcasing her curves in a black two-piece bikini as she carried daughter Bambi, two, in the pool at the five-star Regnum The Crown hotel. Her assets were put on full display in the strappy bikini as she struck a mermaid-like pose below an artificial waterfall while enjoying a dip in the pool The Love Island alumni, who reunited with Tommy Fury, 26, in May following their split, happily made the most of the trip with her young family. Molly Mae also appeared to be enjoying local cuisine and was pictured sightseeing at The Land of Legends Theme Park. The influencer simply captioned the snaps: 'A summer story.' Fans were quick to praise the family holiday snaps, writing: 'so lovely seeing you back together and enjoying time as a family. Lots of hugs x'; 'You look incredible.'; 'Time to get the ring back on…perfect family.'' 'I can see bambi getting endorsements soon [sic].' The post comes after Molly-Mae recently hit the headlines after claiming that she hasn't done 'one fun thing' all summer. 'I haven't socialised once,' she told her older sister Zoe in a recent YouTube vlog. 'I haven't done one social, fun thing... I haven't a life.' The globe-trotting influencer added: 'I haven't a life. I haven't a life. It's not good. 'It's all kids related, if it's not work and kids I am not doing anything. It's not good. People going for a drink with their friends or to a beer garden. The post comes after Molly-Mae recently hit the headlines after claiming that she hasn't done 'one fun thing' all summer She stressed: 'Oh my gosh, I don't remember the last time I did my hair and makeup and put an outfit on for something that wasn't work related. 'I don't do anything. Lets normalise it. For the girls that are going to get to the end of summer and not done one fun thing.' However Molly-Mae did accept that her recent trip to Wimbledon, during which she did indeed wear make-up and a £3,000 Dior dress, was a 'fun' occasion. She said: 'No that's a lie because people are going to say "You went to London in your last vlog and had a ball," and I did. Unsurprisingly, Molly-Mae's latest comments didn't go down well with her two million-plus YouTube subscribers, with many claiming she was 'out of touch', 'tone-deaf' and 'always moaning'. The influencer started strong this summer by signing a seven-figure deal with consumer goods firm Unilever and starring in a new campaign for its detergent brand, Persil and Comfort, in May.

‘I wanted to be Nina Simone': Jeff Buckley documentary shows female influences
In the years since Jeff Buckley's shocking death at age 30 in 1997, his estate has sanctioned the release of 10 studio compilations, eight live collections, one box set, eight singles and five video recordings. In addition, there have been a rash of documentaries, produced in various countries around the world, as well as a dramatic depiction of him played by actor Penn Badgley in a movie whose title alludes to his musical father, Greetings from Tim Buckley. Collectively, that places him in the realm of other departed stars, including Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis and Eva Cassidy, whose catalogues have been mined for every ounce of gold they can possibly produce. In that context, the title of the new Jeff Buckley documentary, It's Never Over, could easily read like a threat. Luckily, nothing could be further from the truth. The film winds up giving a largely familiar story a holistic reach like no project before it. However picked over the bones of Buckley's story may be, director Amy Berg has found fresh flesh by emphasizing the crucial role women played in his life starting with his mother, Mary Guibert, and fanning out to various girlfriends, most of whom are fellow artists who sometimes doubled as spiritual collaborators. Together, they show how a female spirit not only shaped Buckley's early life, it also provided a foundational part of his art. The earliest songs he sang as a kid were voiced by women, from Diana Ross's yearning reading of Ain't No Mountain High Enough to Judy Garland's self-immolating take on The Man Who Got Away. 'I wanted to be a chanteuse,' Buckley says in a vintage audio interview used in the film. 'Secretly, I think I wanted to be Nina Simone.' You can hear the connection in the intensity, range and sustain of his quaver, which also drew from the qawwali chants of the Pakistani devotional singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. In the film, Buckley refers to Khan as 'my Elvis'. At the same time, he drew profound inspiration from classically macho sources, initially through the scorched earth whomp of Led Zeppelin and, later, via the chest-beating yowls of Soundgarden's Chris Cornell. The breadth of those gender identifications allowed Buckley to idealize the Jungian concept of anima, which asserts that men have to recognize their feminine side in order to fully embrace their humanity, as well as to truly understand the role of women in their lives. In one vintage quote in the film, Buckley says, 'I decided to make a woman of music and give myself to her. At another point, I decided to make a man of music and give myself to him,' adding for good measure: 'Music was my mother. It was my father. It was the best thing in my life.' That last line can't be easy to hear for his actual mother, who co-produced the film and who guards his estate like a sentry, deciding who from his life can speak for him and who cannot. To her credit, Guibert allowed director Berg to cast Jeff's early years with her in a far from soft light. She was just a teenager when he was born, the product of a fleeting relationship with the visionary cult singer Tim Buckley. At the time, he was on the rise (or at least seemed to be), and, in his ambition, he ignored both her and the coming child. Five months into her pregnancy, Guibert recalls in the film, 'I knew I was never going to see Tim again.' While Tim Buckley ran off to pursue his dreams, her ambitions of being an actor and musician withered under the responsibility of raising the child. She's honest in the film about her own immaturity at the time, which meant that Jeff had to mother her in ways that came to haunt and anger him. The only time he saw his father was during several days they spent together when Jeff was a boy. His later attempts to reach his dad were ignored, then made impossible when Tim died of a heroin overdose at age 28 in 1975. Jeff harbored dark feelings afterwards, complicated further by the fact that music – his savior and muse – bound him inescapably to the man who abandoned him. Jeff's path to a career in music has been chronicled endlessly elsewhere and it's dutifully recalled in the film. Yet seldom, if ever, has the story had as caring a context as the one provided by the friends and lovers who spoke to Berg. They paint a portrait of someone whose insecurities and neurosis ran in tandem with his talent and daring. When Grace appeared and artists of the order of David Bowie and Robert Plant fell over themselves to praise him in interviews, Buckley buckled under the expectations of their awe. He was just as itchy about his anointment by People magazine as one of the 'most beautiful' men alive. A girlfriend in the film recalls him buying every copy of the magazine he could get his hands on so he could throw them in the trash. Stark as the contrast may have been between his often ugly view of himself and the beauty of his outward appearance, there's no denying the part it played in his myth. Like Jackson Browne, Buckley's soulful brand of handsomeness ideally mirrored the sensitivity and refinement of his art. The man behind that face is presented here as someone simultaneously confused and playful, sweet and lost. For a fresh insight, friends tell Berg they think he may have been manic depressive, a term given little airing back in the 90s, when Buckley died by accidentally drowning in the Mississippi River. Another coup for the film is the inclusion of voicemails he left for his mother, including one in which he excoriates her for her deficiencies and another in which he honors her perseverance and unwavering love for him. Despite that support, friends say Buckley had no idea how to grow into a mature man. As deeply as that vexed him, his melding of genders in his art allowed him to live his short life with the androgynous freedom of a child. Today Buckley would be 58, an unimaginable age for someone whom fate has forced us to see as forever young. Now he exists solely on a plane he might well appreciate, where he's less a person than a sound, a soul captured wholly in song. It's Never Over: Jeff Buckley is out now in US cinemas

Billie Eilish's brother Finneas details extremely 'cringeworthy' interaction with Taylor Swift that still haunts him
Billie Eilish 's brother and music collaborator Finneas O'Connell has opened up about his 'most cringeworthy run-in with a celebrity' in an interview with The Guardian. The 28-year-old Grammy-winning musician divulged that he had an embarrassing moment with Taylor Swift at her 32nd birthday party. He confessed to the publication, 'I said "Thanks for coming" to Taylor Swift. At her birthday party. She said, 'Thank you so much for coming,' and I said, 'Thank you for coming!'' The moment took place in 2021, when the now-35-year-old pop star threw a bash alongside the band Haim's Alana Haim, whose birthday is two days after hers. Finneas previously opened up about the awkward ordeal in a 2022 Q&A with fans. At the time, he had been engaging with his Instagram followers when someone asked him to share 'your most embarrassing moment.' Via Stories, he explained that he had 'meant to say "thanks for inviting me" or whatever, obviously' to Taylor. Finneas sat down with The Guardian to promote his music with The Favors bandmate Ashe. Another tidbit the hitmaker revealed about himself in the interview is his knack for impersonations. Asked what he's 'secretly good at,' he said, 'Impressions. And I'm not doing one for you. The one I do the most is probably Benny Blanco.' Elsewhere in the conversation he revealed if he could be on any reality television show it would be, 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition with Ty Pennington. I loved Ty Pennington growing up.' And the star spilled the 'best piece of advice' he's ever been given. 'A guy who's a mastering engineer once said to me, 'Listen man, if something ever goes wrong, you just rock out.' Just rock out, man. I sometimes think, damn, I really am doing that. I had a show recently where shit was going wrong, and I was like: time to rock out, dude. What's my alternative here? Oh, my flight's delayed four hours? Let's rock out, dude,' he shared. In May, Finneas cast Kate Hudson in the music video for his song 2001. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) Taking to Instagram Stories afterward, he shared a note of gratitude for Kate, writing, 'And Kate!!! Dream of dreams!!! Best actor, best person, thank you one billion times for doing this video w us!' The video was inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 1968 sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and conceptualized by his longtime girlfriend Claudia Sulewski. Finneas gave her a special acknowledgement, writing via Instagram Stories: 'Just a lil Claudia appreciation post - I asked her out of nowhere if she wanted to direct a video for 2001. 'I said, "You can do whatever you want, I don't even have to be in it."' The sweet anecdote continued, 'She was shooting a TV show at the time and trying to go to sleep early for a super early call time - I got into bed and she said "I think I have a good idea" and she had literally thought of the ENTIRE VIDEO.' Finneas has so far collected ten Grammys throughout his whirlwind career and collaborations with his sister Billie.
