Victoria Beckham appears to confirm Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas 'romance' with photo blunder
Victoria Beckham has appeared to accidentally confirmed Tom Cruise's rumoured romance with Ana de Armas as she shared a tribute to husband David, following his 50th birthday bash in London.
The former Spice Girl-turned-designer, 51, shared a number of snaps from the big night at Core restaurant in Notting Hill, where other celeb attendees included Gordon Ramsay, Eva Longoria, and Guy Ritchie.
Among the images was one that showed the birthday boy and long-time friend Cruise, 62, enjoying a animated catch up as they both sported matching white tuxedos and black bowties.

She was seen leaving the event with Cruise in the early hours of the morning, just days after they were spotted together in the captial for her birthday.
While they have yet to comment publicly on the status of their relationship, they are reportedly working on a project together.

The Cuban-Spanish actress has made no secret of her admiration for the Mission Impossible star and previously told USA Today how she hoped to master the skill of doing her own stunts like him.

The real talk of the party however was the absence of David and Victoria's eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.
It followed rumours of a feud between the Beckham family, with Brooklyn apparently on bad terms with the rest of his family members due to his younger brother Romeo's relationship with his old school friend, Kim Turnbull.
David hosted a number of high-profile events in the lead up to his milestone birthday, but Brooklyn and his other half failed to make an appearance at a single one.
According to TMZ, the couple cancelled plans to attend the Met Gala on Monday in order to attend David's big party the night before. However, they apparently had one condition: that Turnbull not be present.

The family said no, which resulted in Brooklyn being a no-show.
A source told the US news outlet: 'They cancelled plans to attend the Met because they really intended to be at David's party on Saturday.
'But Brooklyn is really upset that blame for the rift has been levelled at Nicola.
'She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she's a loyal wife.'
In a confusing twist, David and Victoria's youngest son said 'Brooklyn and Kim never dated' in reply to a fan on Instagram who asked about the situation.

The Director of ‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' Unpacks Key Moments
Christopher McQuarrie was a 27-year-old former movie-theater security guard when he won the Oscar for best screenplay in 1996 for 'The Usual Suspects.' Things went a little pear-shaped from that early peak, as they tend to do in Hollywood, and the Princeton, N.J., native was looking to leave the industry altogether when he piqued Tom Cruise's interest for another script that became the 2008 Hitler-assassination drama 'Valkyrie.' It was the start of a professional relationship that has culminated in McQuarrie, now 56, directing and co-producing the past four films of the 'Mission Impossible' franchise, including 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,' in which Cruise famously stars as the unsinkable (and seemingly unkillable) special agent Ethan Hunt. Recently, McQuarrie spoke with The Times in New York and later via video call from the back of an SUV in Mexico City about the choice to make A.I. the villain, the question of whether the franchise is coming to an end, and a 'gnarly' secret Tom Cruise movie in the works. Here are edited excerpts from those conversations. When did the decision come that 'Dead Reckoning' and 'Final Reckoning' would be the final two films in the franchise? Over the course of 'Rogue Nation' [2015], 'Fallout' [2018] and then 'Dead Reckoning' [2023], we were delving deeper and deeper into the emotions of the characters and their arcs. I said, 'Look, we know that it's going to be a long movie, let's just cut it in half.' I understand the irony of me saying we were going to make two two-hour movies and we ended up making these two much, much bigger ones. But we didn't really think of it as being the conclusion of anything until we were about halfway through 'Dead Reckoning.' Over time, we started to feel that this is a movie about the franchise more than just about the mission. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

An ‘S.N.L.' Secret Weapon Retires After 50 Years
The Stiegelbauer workshop, where Stephen DeMaria coordinated the construction of sets for 'Saturday Night Live,' is in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, miles from 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Geographically, and in the minds of 'S.N.L.' fans, DeMaria's name was always far removed from the prestige and glamour of the show that has defined American comedy since 1975. But while most viewers have never heard of him, he has spent 50 years setting the scenes for the show's most memorable moments. And now he is done. DeMaria, known as 'Demo' in the shop, retired after the 50th season finale, May 17. The day before, the white-haired, 87-year-old carpenter was leaning over his drafting table, inspecting blueprints and fiddling with the No. 2 pencil usually found behind his ear. For DeMaria and his crew, the show had already begun. Stiegelbauer Associates Inc. is a cross between a shop class and a late-night museum: A Rainbow Room marquee hangs above a workbench; a leftover airplane set sits plastic-wrapped; photos of past sets installed in the show's Studio 8H are framed on every wall. During show weeks, sets are assembled all over the shop by an eclectic crew of craftspeople, many of whom have worked on 'S.N.L.' for decades. As the foreman, DeMaria coordinates the teams assigned to build the sets designed at 30 Rock. Then he oversees the construction, moseying through the shop and kicking up sawdust with his cane as he checks in at the workstations. The cane was the result of an injury he suffered at an end-of-season celebration last year: After a night of tearing up the dance floor, he fell off a curb and broke his hip. 'The best time of my life is the 'S.N.L.' parties,' he said. 'I'll be on the dance floor when I get there, and I won't leave until 5 in the morning.' His favorite, he said, was the 2012 end-of-season party, after an episode hosted by Mick Jagger. 'He was dancing all over the studio, so I got involved,' DeMaria recalled. 'I was dancing with Mick Jagger!' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Miley Cyrus celebrates 'intense energy' of 'Something Beautiful' film premiere
NEW YORK – Miley Cyrus swanned onto the red carpet in a sheer beaded dress accentuated by a cream-colored acre of luxurious strands. She gathered the crew who supported her in making her 'Something Beautiful' visual album, as all, including mom Tish, turned toward the cameras. 'Everybody say 'dysfunctional!'' Cyrus yelled, beaming. The quip was indicative of Cyrus' playful mood as she arrived at the Beacon Theatre June 6 to premiere the stylish, near-hourlong film companion to the 'Something Beautiful' album that bowed May 30. The debut at the Tribeca Film Festival prefaces the June 12, one-day-only appearance the film will make in theaters nationwide. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Cyrus is the biggest contemporary pop star unveiling a film at this year's festival, which runs through June 15, and the sold-out theater full of devotees who loudly sang along with her new material emphasized the prestige moment. 'There is a very intense amount of energy we're sharing in this room,' she said during a post-screening chat with the audience, which included a Cyrus-led singalong of her 2009 hit, 'The Climb.' Intensity reigned throughout the 13 clips, with Cyrus donning fashion both sophisticated and sleek, dancing in fishnets and dispatching an industrial wind machine for added visual zip. She's the Pied Piper of feral emotions, slightly dangerous but a lot of fun, her penetrating gaze daring you to see what awaits. 'There's nothing more beautiful on the planet than deep emotion,' Cyrus said during her talkback. The 'Something Beautiful' record is inspired by Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' – a concept album connected to special memories with one of her brothers, she tells USA TODAY on the red carpet – and Cyrus' videos unfold with a loose connection that is all about feeling, much like the most memorable selections in the concept album annals. There isn't any filler in Cyrus' album or visual companion, which she said took about two weeks to shoot, and from the pink clouds and sunsets of "Golden Burning Sun" to the blue-gray shading of the Madonna-esque "Reborn," creativity dominates. These are the standouts. 'More to Lose' As the sparkly pop bounce of 'End of the World' fades into a screen of white light, a close-up image of Cyrus comes into view. The beaded headwear is the focal point until the camera pushes in even closer to Cyrus' perfectly shaded cheekbones, a most intimate angle for a most intimate song. 'Walk of Fame' The most compelling track on an album full of soaring choruses now has an equally absorbing video. In a world of neon, glitter and stiletto boots, Cyrus writhes against walls and struts down sidewalks, notably the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The song is an irresistible club banger with a throbbing chorus and Cyrus adeptly matches the mood of seedy and glam. She is visually arresting as she rolls around the ground, her eyes never losing the camera. Cuts to song guest Brittany Howard as she vocalizes add a flourish of drama, but nothing extra is needed with Cyrus as the subject. The clip was filmed at 2 a.m. on a street that hadn't seen much cleanup – 'We had everything we needed … besides a broom,' she joked at the screening – and consequently led to Cyrus contracting an infection. 'Every Girl You've Ever Loved' Cyrus strides through empty rooms followed by the galloping beat of the song. She cuts a powerful image singing in the shadows of her favorite toy, the industrial fan, while showcasing staccato movements. But her steely gaze betrays a mischievous flicker. Then model Naomi Campbell arrives for her feature on the song and she and Cyrus engage in a sexy-tough duet. The 'pose' coda of the song is set to the pair romping in black bodices and fishnets, exchanging piercing stares and strutting off together in mutual laughter ‒ girl power exemplified.
