Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson marries DJ Denis Sulta in Celtic-inspired Irish and Scottish wedding
Jackson, 31, described her wedding look as a 'Celtic warrior princess.' She walked down the aisle in a bespoke gown from Annie's Ibiza, inspired in part by a design once worn by Zendaya. While both dresses featured an ivory corset, Jackson's gown included puff sleeves and a reversible tartan side to honor her husband's Scottish roots.
Barbour, 32, wore a Hebridean MacKenzie tartan kilt paired with a Montrose doublet jacket. His outfit was completed with a family brooch and his father's sporran, adding sentimental value to the traditional ensemble.
Following their vows, the newlyweds hosted a lively reception filled with personal and playful touches. Guests enjoyed pints of Guinness decorated with foam photos of the couple, while Jackson's father surprised everyone in a Darth Vader costume—referencing Barbour's birth certificate, which amusingly lists him as a Jedi. A singer also appeared dressed as Elphaba from Wicked to perform 'Defying Gravity,' Barbour's favorite song.
Later in the evening, Jackson revealed a surprise by flipping her corset to display its hidden tartan design before joining guests on the dance floor. Reflecting on the celebration, she said: 'Everybody said that the whole weekend was like something from a movie, and it really was. I want to do it again.'

Russell Crowe reflects on 2005 phone-throwing incident after nearly two decades of silence
Russell Crowe has spoken publicly for the first time in nearly 20 years about the infamous phone-throwing incident that led to his arrest in New York in 2005. The Oscar-winning actor, now 61, expressed regret over the episode in an interview with The Daily Telegraph, saying he has grown from the experience and now values the lessons it taught him. The incident occurred in June 2005 at the Mercer Hotel in Manhattan, where Crowe was staying while promoting his film Cinderella Man. After being unable to make a long-distance call to his then-wife, Danielle Spencer, in Australia, Crowe lost his temper and threw a telephone at a front desk employee, Nestor Estrada. He was arrested and led from the hotel in handcuffs, spending six hours in police custody. Crowe initially faced felony charges but later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of third-degree assault. He avoided jail time but paid a reported $100,000 to settle a civil lawsuit filed by Estrada. At the time, Crowe admitted he struggled with anger management and described feeling 'at the bottom of a well.' Now, Crowe has reflected on the experience through both words and music. In the video for his new single Save Me, with his band The Gentlemen Barbers, he alludes to the incident. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, he said, 'At 61, I can forgive my bad days. I absolutely respect regret. Regret is one of the greatest processes.' Crowe added that he has become 'smarter' over the years and more honest with himself. He shared a tongue-in-cheek reference to his time in custody: 'Sometimes you're singing Irish folk songs to the prison officer who is looking after you in jail.' The actor was married to Danielle Spencer from 2003 until their separation in 2012. They finalized their divorce in 2018 and share two sons, Charlie and Tennyson.

JADE announced as opener for Chappell Roan's shows at Edinburgh Summer Sessions
JADE has been announced as the special guest for Chappell Roan's two sold-out headline shows at this year's Edinburgh Summer Sessions. The Grammy-winning American pop singer will perform at the Royal Highland Showgrounds on August 26 and 27, following the release of her latest single, "The Subway" which debuted at #3 on this week's Billboard's Hot 100 list. These concerts will be her largest Scottish appearances to date, building on the success of her sold-out Glasgow O2 Academy show in September last year. JADE, best known as a member of Little Mix, has established herself as one of the most prominent solo pop artists in the UK since launching her individual career. Her debut single "Angel Of My Dreams" has cemented her position in the charts, and she recently appeared at the 2025 TRNSMT festival. She is also set to headline her own sold-out show at Glasgow's O2 Academy in October. Chappell Roan's Edinburgh performances come during a breakthrough period for the Missouri-born artist, who has rapidly gained international recognition with her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Earlier this year, she was crowned the Best New Artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Organisers expect the addition of JADE to the line-up to create even greater excitement for fans attending the Summer Sessions shows.
