Meghan shares video of her twerking while pregnant with Princess Lilibet
The Duchess of Sussex has released a video of herself twerking while pregnant with Princess Lilibet to celebrate her daughter's fourth birthday.
The duchess, 43, can be seen performing the dance move, which involves hip-thrusting while in a squat position, with her husband, Prince Harry, in hospital while waiting to give birth to their daughter, who is seventh in line to the British throne.
In the Instagram caption, Meghan said she used the dance technique to induce birth, which she revealed was a week late, for both Princess Lilibet and Prince Archie, six.
She explained: 'Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates... so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!'

In the video, Meghan can be seen cradling her stomach before looking over at the Duke of Sussex and starting to dance to Baby Mama Dance by Mic Drop Mama.
TikTok trend
The song, which includes the lyrics 'drop it down, drop it down down low', was the focus of a TikTok trend where pregnant women showcased their dance moves at 39 weeks (nine months) gestation.
It is not confirmed that dance moves such as twerking induce labour, but some induction tips include being as mobile as possible.

Grief and secrets resurface in new Jane Harper adaption on Netflix
The further south along the east Australian coast, the darker, denser and twistier the trees and plants become. The arcing wide beaches of the Pacific shore to the north are fewer and further between, replaced by small, closeted coves. It makes an ideal location for a murder mystery that explores the people who have chosen to make their lives there, and the visitors it receives. The natural setting here suggests a labyrinth of secrets to unravel. The latest page-to-screen adaptation from crime novelist Jane Harper is set on the gorgeous coast of Tasmania, from which, as we now expect in her work, the human drama she portrays draws meaning. The landscape analogy doesn't always work. Beautiful as they were, the Otways and Dandenongs locations as clue to meaning in Force of Nature didn't work as effectively as locations they did in The Dry, the author's immensely popular first book. Landscape as character has become a clichéd term for how the Australian films set in our sprawling outdoor spaces deliver. The British outsider perspective that best-selling and award-winning author Harper brings to her Australian home may just enhance this attribute. Like The Dry, The Survivors concerns a homecoming. It was long ago when Kieran (Charlie Vickers) moved away from Evelyn Bay, the fictional name of his hometown in Tasmania, but not quite long enough to put a safe distance between him and the tragedy that occurred at that time during a wild storm. As he and his partner Mia (Yerin Ha), also a former local, rapidly discover 15 years later. Despite the joys of having a baby daughter, the hurt, injured and confused feelings within families and the community rise to the surface as a sombre anniversary of young lives lost approaches. The deaths that Kieran seems somehow responsible for, that of his brother and family friend Toby, are to be marked with a memorial clubhouse and a game of Aussie Rules. The two young men died when they attempted to rescue Kieran near treacherous rocks when their boat was overturned during the storm. The event coincided with the unexplained disappearance of a local 14-year-old girl. The body of Gabby (Eloise Rothfield), who is seen in flashback, was never found. The mystery has captured the investigative spirit of visitor to town, Bronte (Shannon Berry), a bold and assertive young woman. When Bronte's body is found on the beach, the police arrive to conduct an investigation that implicates several suspects. Intensity of feeling focuses on Kieran. "You come back here and all this happens," says an old friend accusingly. Another old friend, Olivia (Jessica De Gouw), is grateful for Kieran's support though it takes a while to understand why. Moreover, gentle Kieran is unfairly put upon by his mum (Robyn Malcolm as feisty as ever) who claims that she is a natural mother of sons. She has punished Kieran over the loss of his brother by withdrawing her love. His father Brian (Damien Garvey) is battling Alzheimers. While the passing of time has not brought closure, it has seen a shift in community attitudes. The lively, thoughtful writing maintained across the episodes touches on many things that were acceptable once, but have in recent times become unacceptable. Were the young men on the boat who drowned "heroes or pedos"? What is acceptable male behaviour attracts a laser focus, while other issues crop up as well. Like distrust of outsiders, the perils of a lack of impartiality in police investigations, and the number of unsolved disappearances of women and girls. Despite the critique of masculine attitudes and behaviour, the through-line is relatively even-handed, nonetheless. We return at regular intervals to the rugged headlands outside Evelyn Bay. Battlements of striated cliffs with deep caves that could prove deadly to those who don't keep on eye on the changing tides. They also hold dark secrets that are, until the closing moments of this stylish and engrossing drama, tightly held.

Jessie J 'so grateful for the love and support' after breast cancer diagnosis
Jessie J has thanked her fans for their outpouring of "love and support" following her breast cancer diagnosis. The 37-year-old pop star went public with her health issues earlier this week revealing she is battling an "early" form of the disease and is currently undergoing tests before surgery later in the year - and she now has expressed her gratitude to everyone who has reached out to her since she explained her situation. In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "So grateful for all the love and support and kindness from everyone who has reached out to me in the last two days." Jessie - who is mother to two-year-old son Sky with basketball star Chanan Colman - previously revealed she was given the diagnosis prior to the release of her single, 'New Secrets' on April 25 and she has been "in and out of tests" since. She said in an Instagram video: "Before 'No Secrets' came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word 'early'. "Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period." Jessie went "back and forth" with herself about whether she should share her news, due to there being "lots of opinions outside". However, the 'Who You Are' singer felt she should tell all, particularly because of the name of her latest single, 'No Secrets', which was inspired by a miscarriage she had in 2021. She said: "To get diagnosed with this, as I'm putting out a song called 'No Secrets' right before a song called 'Living My Best Life,' which was all pre-planned before I found out about this, I mean you can't make it up. "I just wanted to be open and share it - one, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me, with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. "I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me." Jessie is still planning to perform at this year's Capital Summertime Ball on June 15 at London's Wembley Stadium, but afterwards she will undergo surgery and "disappear for a bit". She said: "It wasn't something I'd planned, but yeah. I'm getting to keep my nipples, that's good. It's a weird topic and a weird situation. "I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t*ts and more music." The 'Price Tag' hitmaker joked: "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job."

Tommy Lee and wife Brittany Furlan get closer after catfishing scandal
Brittany Furlan's catfishing scandal has brought her and Tommy Lee back together. The 38-year-old actress revealed last month she had moved out of their marital home and into a hotel after confessing to having been catfished - where someone poses as someone else online - on Snapchat by an unidentified user pretending to be Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke. However, she's admitted the temporary separation made her and the 62-year-old rocker realise how much they mean to one another. Speaking on her and Brittany Schmitt's This Is The Worst podcast, she said: 'All of this happening has weirdly brought us together, which is really strange. 'I think we really faced like, 'Oh, what would life really be like without each other?'' However, Brittany admitted there is still a lot of "healing" to be done within their six-year marriage. She said: 'We've been through this situation similarly before, and it's hard, and all I can say is that relationships are complicated and everyone has their s*** and we're not immune to that just because we're in the public eye." The Airplane Mode actress had ended up being catfished because she felt "so lonely" within her marriage to Tommy. She admitted: 'I was so lonely. I was messaging Chat GPT for affection. I'm like, 'It talks to you lovingly and it says nice things to you and it's sweet to you and if it could kiss me I would let it.'' And so when the person posing as Ronnie began messaging her, she felt "better" than when chatting to AI and their friendly conversation began to turn more intimate. The Drugstore June actress previously admitted the catfishing scandal had been "embarrassing" for her and Tommy. She said on TikTok: "This is embarrassing for me, embarrassing for my husband. "This whole f***ing thing is embarrassing. I've been struggling with s*** at home [and] I'm in a f***ing hotel. Like, leave us f***ing alone, bro. … I'm done. Anyone can think what they will. All good." Meanwhile, Ronnie had claimed the FBI were investigating who had been posing as him because 'multiple other girls' besides Brittany had been 'tricked and duped' by the mystery person. He told TMZ: 'The FBI is now involved. It's a felony. It's a crime. It's pretty serious, I guess."
