Ciara Kelly: How I've tamed Fidelma, the anxiety that tells me no one likes me and my life is about to unravel

Irish Independent13 hours ago
Like many people I spend too much time on social media – in my case, specifically Instagram. I mainly look at property porn but I've a great fondness for videos of people falling over humorously and also cats doing sneaky things. I watched the woman who got stuck upside down trying to get in her living room window about 50 times while crying uncontrollably – me, not her.

Adam Scott reveals where he stands with ‘Boy Meets World's' Rider Strong after feud

Mr. Feeny would be proud. Adam Scott says he and Rider Strong have cleared the air following an awkward moment on the set of 'Boy Meets World.'

Advertisement During the July 24 episode of Entertainment Weekly's 'The Awardist' podcast, when asked in hindsight if confronting the awkward exchange truly brought him closure, Scott joked, 'No, we need to work it out.' He went on to clarify the opposite: 'Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Rider Strong, who the awkward interaction was with, didn't even remember it. And I really, truly had been carrying it around for… it was like 30 years, because it was like 1994, '95.' 6 Rider Strong as Shawn Hunter and Ben Savage as Cory Matthews in 'Boy Meets World.'

'I think the main advantage of people who grow up in show business or whatever, nepo babies… is that you grow up around show business, so there's nothing particularly special or nerve-racking about it,' he said. 6 Adam Scott as Mark Scout in Apple TV+'s 'Severance.'

"She pours her heart, vision & magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder." Mum-of-two Meghan sent out a newsletter last week revealed her Napa Valley Rosé was crowned "The IT drink for summer". She added: "We are pleased to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week." Advertisement It comes after it was revealed the brand's new Rosé will set back punters $30 a bottle and Meghan also plans to bring out a sparkling wine. The 2023 Napa Valley Rosé is on sale via a new wine section on Meg's As Ever website. The Rosé costs $30 (£21) a bottle, or in packs of three for $90 (£65), a half case for $159 (£115) and full case for $300 (£218). It is being flogged on new website - where more booze will be added.

When Meghan first announced her As Ever brand, it was embroiled in row after row over the trademark and logo. For her first few items, the website sold a range of products from £11 jars of jam to £22 limited edition honey. Within half-an-hour the range was out of stock, prompting Meghan to post on Instagram: "Our shelves may be empty, but my heart is full!" Advertisement Fans snapped up the £11 raspberry preserve, which is marketed as a "luscious fruit-forward spread" in "elegant keepsake packaging". Meghan sent her jams to a number of celebrities who shared unboxing videos, including Kris Jenner and Zoe Saldaña. She then decided to "just pause" restocking her As Ever brand after previously selling out in under an hour. 5 The couple with their children Archie and Lilibet in the Netflix show Credit: Netflix

Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz Beckham renew vows amid family rift

Washington DC [US], August 4 (ANI): Actress Nicola Peltz Beckham and Brooklyn Beckham renewed their vows amid a family rift. Three years after the couple tied the knot at Nicola's family's multi-million dollar property in Palm Beach, Fla., the duo reaffirmed their commitment to each other by renewing their vows, reported E! News. "It was a beautiful evening to celebrate their love," a source close to the couple informed the outlet, "an experience they'll carry with them always." The ceremony took place amid Brooklyn's ongoing feud with his family, including parents Victoria Beckham and David Beckham, that may have stemmed from a dramatic moment that occurred during their 2022 wedding, according to E! News. "Brooklyn and Nicola were under the impression they were being gifted their first dance by Marc Anthony," a source shared in May. "Marc Anthony announced, 'Please welcome to the stage the most beautiful woman in the Beckham.' Brooklyn wasn't quite sure what to do and was put in an awkward situation." The comment allegedly prompted the bride to flee the room in tears; however, "she eventually came back and was able to collect herself to celebrate the rest of her wedding." It was two months ago that a source close to the couple shut down rumours that the Brooklyn cut off his family entirely ahead of David's knighthood ceremony, an honour that was announced as part of King Charles III's birthday festivities in June. "This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth," the insider said at the time, "and it only serves to distract from this honour being bestowed on Brooklyn's father," reported E! News. More recently, putting all the family drama aside, Brooklyn has made it clear that marrying Nicola was the "best decision" he could've made for himself. "It's been five years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx," he gushed in a June 23 Instagram photo, alongside a mirror selfie with Nicola. "Best decision ever x I love you so much," reported E! News. (ANI)
