Blackpink make history at Wembley Stadium with record-breaking Deadline tour stop
The four members — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — now share the Wembley stage with icons like Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, BTS, and Oasis.
Fans were treated to two and a half hours of razor-sharp choreography, stadium-shaking hooks, and plenty of heart, as the group's sisterly bond beamed just as brightly as the stage lights, according to the BBC.
Lisa called the moment 'an absolute honour,' while Jennie admitted it still felt 'a little unreal,' and Rosé summed it up as 'a whole other level.'
The Wembley set capped off the European stretch of their Deadline world tour, which is hitting 31 dates in 16 cities, after starting in Seoul alongside the release of their rave-flavoured new single Jump.
That track has already made history on YouTube, pulling in 26 million views in just 24 hours, and the tour itself is on pace to smash Blackpink's own record for the highest-grossing tour by a female group, previously overtaking the Spice Girls in 2023.
The only other K-pop act to headline Wembley so far is BTS, making Blackpink's achievement even more groundbreaking.
The night kicked off in spectacular fashion with pyrotechnics, lasers, and a triple-punch of hits: Kill This Love, How You Like That, and Pink Venom.
Their choreography was all precision and power, with synchronised moves and smart camera tricks giving every fan in the stadium a close-up of their bias.
Each member brought her own flavour to the stage after a year of solo projects — Rosé with her Bruno Mars collab APT, Lisa with an acting turn in The White Lotus, Jennie with her cheeky viral hit Like Jennie, and Jisoo headlining the K-drama Snowdrop.
But the fan-favourite moments came when they reunited as the 'One True 4,' blasting through group anthems like Pretty Savage, Forever Young, Whistle, and the mega-hit DDU-DU DDU-DU.
The finale saw them tearing into Jump one last time, letting loose with playful antics before pulling into a group hug — eight thumbs in the air, declaring not just a comeback, but the start of Blackpink's next chapter.

BBC calls in police to investigate new Strictly allegations
The BBC has asked the police to investigate Strictly Come Dancing amid fresh allegations, according to reports, after claims two of its stars used cocaine. The Sun On Sunday reported that the corporation has alerted the Metropolitan Police to new allegations about the hit dance competition show, the details of which it does not specify. A BBC spokesperson said on Saturday the corporation does not comment on police investigations. It comes after reports in The Sun earlier this month alleged two Strictly cast members' drug use was discussed on the BBC dancing show, and said that the corporation had appointed law firm Pinsent Masons to lead the investigation. The scandal-hit show was also the subject of a review in 2024, when the BBC looked into allegations of bullying and harassment against former professional dancer Giovanni Pernice, made by his former dance partner Amanda Abbington. The corporation upheld some, but not all, of the complaints made – and introduced a series of new measures aimed at improving welfare. This included the introduction of a chaperone who is present 'at all times' during training room rehearsals. EastEnders star James Borthwick was also suspended from the BBC after a video emerged of the actor using a disabled slur on the set of the dance programme. The cocaine use allegations were reportedly made in a legal submission by law firm Russells in March on behalf of former contestant Wynne Evans, who was dropped by the BBC after apologising for using 'inappropriate language' during the launch of the Strictly tour. It is understood that the BBC often appoints external law firms to help it lead investigations. The BBC spokesperson previously said: 'We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. 'We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. It would not be appropriate for us to comment further.' The Metropolitan Police has been contacted for comment.

Larry Lamb says he's not averse to penning poems
Gavin and Stacey star Larry Lamb is having the rhyme of his life after taking up poetry following a gap of several decades. The actor, who has also written a novel and autobiography, started scribbling stanzas in 1983, but started again after a poet friend encouraged him to do so. Larry, who says he is 1% Welsh, said he loves the process of writing as he gets to be in charge. "I started writing poetry in the 80s, it just came right out of the blue. A whole string of poems about my life and the way I saw things," the 77-year-old said. He said that in 2020 he found a file of them in the attic and showed them to a poet friend. "And he was really impressed and said, 'We have got to do something with these'. "So cut to quite recently and I started to write poems again. A lot of them about the same period in my life." On 27 September he will be reading his work for the first time, along with some of his favourite poems from his childhood, at Hereford Military History Festival. "So I'm going to be close to Wales," he said. Larry said he surprised himself when he started writing in 1983. "But now I have got a lot more experience, a lot more time in life," he told Lucy Owen on BBC Radio Wales. Series displays Wales' 'beautiful and bleak' scenery Timothy Spall's new crime drama filmed entirely in Wales The Welsh TV soap where Hollywood stars are born "It's just a fascinating procedure making poetry out of life and comparing the way I write things now to the way I wrote them in 1983. "I'm absolutely loving it. Hopefully I'll be following up the book tour with a tour all over the place telling stories with poetry." He will be promoting his novel All Wrapped Up with a number of UK dates from September to December - visiting Barry on December 2. He said he would go to Barry beach - the scene of many memorable Gavin & Stacey scenes - for a swim. Asked if he would be wearing a wetsuit in the winter water, he said: "My birthday suit. I'll hand out masks so people can just shut down on the visuals."

Woman Planned a Birthday Trip for Her Boyfriend — But Now Wants to Cancel After Finding Out He Can't Afford to Contribute
The woman — who shared her story in a community forum — says he already owes her money for a previous trip NEED TO KNOW A woman planned a birthday trip for her boyfriend, but just found out he can't currently afford to contribute to any of the costs The woman — who says her boyfriend owes her money from a past vacation — is now considering cancelling the trip altogether She shared her story on a community forum, where opinions were divided over what she should do A woman says that she planned a birthday trip for her boyfriend — but is now considering cancelling after realizing she'll have to pay for it all. The woman detailed her story on the 'Am I Being Unreasonable?' forum on the U.K.-based community site where women can go to seek input about interpersonal dilemmas. In her post, the woman shared that her boyfriend of one year recently celebrated his 40th birthday. She says she 'booked a beautiful countryside lodge with a hot tub' to celebrate the occasion, and that she booked it for 'this coming weekend due to respective childcare and work commitments.' However, the original poster (OP) went on to say that her boyfriend informed her that he would 'love to go' but is 'struggling for money' at the moment. 'So the planned pub lunches and nice wine will either not happen or I have to fund,' she added. The OP also stated that her boyfriend already owes her money from a previous trip they took earlier in the year — and that he had recently chosen to spend money on a five-day bachelor party. 'He's a lovely man and the relationship is good, but AIBU [am I being unreasonable] to cancel the trip and not pay for everything?' she asked at the end of her post, adding, 'I've said that we can cancel and use the money for a nice meal and wine instead.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Opinions were divided over how the OP should handle the situation. 'I think if you booked the trip, you pay, unless you've discussed it and agreed [on] the budget beforehand,' one person said. Others took issue with the fact that the OP's boyfriend went on a trip with friends while he still owed her money. 'If he genuinely had no money for anything, fair enough. [But] he does have money — he's choosing to spend it on other things, even though he owes you money.' 'I would not spend on him again (or on shared meals) until he had paid back what he owes and has funded the next meal you share!' said someone else. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Several other commenters suggested that the OP might want to reconsider whether she wants to date a partner who can't afford to have nice experiences with her. 'I don't think I could date him,' one person said. 'I always have cash available for going out, and would expect the same of a partner. I am also reasonably careful with my finances. They would have to be bloody amazing in other ways for me to possibly overlook it.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
