MI6 to appoint first woman chief
The next boss of MI6 will be a woman for the first time in its history. The shortlist to select the new Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), also known as MI6, has been whittled down to three female candidates. It means that Britain's top spy, known internally by the moniker 'C', for chief, will be a woman. At least two of the candidates are serving intelligence officers, and therefore cannot be named. The current head of MI6's engineering arm is a woman and is likely to be a strong contender, and those with knowledge of the service have touted her as a candidate The department was fictionalised as Q Branch in Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and films. Dame Barbara Woodward, an outsider candidate, is also a favourite, The Sunday Times reported. The former head of the UK Border Agency currently serves as Britain's Permanent Representative at the United Nations and has not worked at MI6 before. Sir Richard Moore, the current MI6 chief, was a former spy who left and became the British ambassador to Turkey. In 2020, he returned to MI6 to take the top job. His five-year term is coming to an end later this year, with the search for a replacement proceeding at pace. Final interviews for his successor are understood to have taken place last week. In 2023, Sir Richard revealed that he had been recruited from an all-male shortlist, writing on X: 'I will help forge women's equality by working to ensure I'm the last 'C' selected from an all-male shortlist.' Dame Barbara, currently the most senior woman in Britain's diplomatic service, has attracted comments for being insufficiently vocal with her criticism of China while serving as Britain's ambassador to China from 2015 to 2020. After she left Beijing, Dame Barbara described the situation in Xinjiang as 'one of the worst human rights crises of our time'. The final decision on the appointment will be made by the Prime Minister, advised by a board of senior government figures including David Lammy, the Foreign Secretary, and Jonathan Powell, the National Security Adviser. MI5, the domestic security service, has had two female directors-general, Dame Stella Rimington and Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller. MI6, which was established in 1909, has had 17 chiefs, all of them men. In the James Bond series the figure of 'C' was fictionalised as 'M'. Fleming chose the moniker after the first initial of the first MI6 Chief, Sir Mansfield Smith-Cumming. In John Le Carre's George Smiley novels the head of the intelligence service was known as Control. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.

Camila Cabello parts ways with longtime manager Roger Gold
Camila Cabello has officially parted ways with her longtime manager, Roger Gold, as per Billboard. Gold, who has managed Cabello since the beginning of her solo career in 2016, guided the artist through her transition from Fifth Harmony to becoming a solo star. He played a key role in her rise, notably during the release of her debut solo single "Havana" in 2017, which became a chart-topping hit. Cabello's success continued with hits such as "Señorita," her collaboration with Shawn Mendes, which also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019. Before managing Cabello, Gold was instrumental in co-launching the independent label 300 Entertainment, which signed artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Gunna, and Migos. The label was acquired by Warner Music Group in 2021 and later became 300 Elektra Entertainment Group under Atlantic Music Group in 2022. Cabello's most recent project, her fourth album C,XOXO, peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and marked her first release under Geffen and Interscope after leaving Epic Records, the label where she started her career with Fifth Harmony. In a 2024 Billboard cover story, Gold shared insights into Cabello's artistic journey, emphasizing her commitment to creative freedom, despite the pressures of the music industry. Gold will continue to manage other clients under Gold Music Management, while Cabello embarks on the next phase of her career without his guidance.

Camila Cabello Trolls Katy Perry's Space Stunt With Zero-Gravity TikTok
just launched her "Yours, C" tour in the most Camila way possible, by throwing some cheeky shade at 's recent trip to space. The 'I Luv It' singer took to TikTok to share her version of a tour announcement, which has garnered attention from Camila Cabello's fan base. Cabello is seen standing in front of a red wall, holding a poster with her tour dates while floating in slow motion. 'Didn't have the budget to fly to space to promote my tour dates, so I made this TikTok instead,' she quipped in text over the video, mimicking zero gravity. She added a playful caption aimed directly at Perry, '@Katy Perry hehehe ily.' The post is a not-so-subtle jab at the "Firework" singer's headline-making 11-minute Blue Origin space ride on April 14, where Perry unveiled a butterfly-shaped paper that supposedly revealed her "Lifetimes" tour setlist. Fans couldn't hold back after seeing the video, with one of her followers expressing, "not her moving like she was in space [skull emoji]." Another said, "Girl, you ate," as a third wrote, "You're too funny." A fourth commented, "This is so funny, welcome back Camila." Cabello's video landed just as her "Yours, C" tour gears up to kick off June 21 at the Starlite Occident Festival in Marbella, Spain. She'll hit Europe, Asia, Australia, and South America before wrapping things up on September 14 in São Paulo, Brazil. The tour supports her 2024 album "C XOXO," which features singles like 'He Knows' and 'Hot Uptown," and marks her first tour in over seven years. While Camila kept things lighthearted, Perry's space antics haven't exactly been received with open arms. The 'I Kissed a Girl' hitmaker was part of an all-female crew that included Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King, but her emotional post-flight display, where she kissed the ground, waved a daisy, and declared she felt 'super connected to love," has drawn some serious side-eye. 'It's not about singing my songs. It's about a collective energy in there. It's about us. It's about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging,' Perry said in a flowery post-flight interview. 'This is all for the benefit of Earth.' Critics weren't having it, especially in light of two NASA astronauts who were actually stranded in space for nine months. PR expert Eric Schiffer didn't mince words when speaking to Daily Mail, claiming Perry's brand 'is vibe surfing the toilet drain faster than Blue Origin re-entered the atmosphere.' 'Katy went to space, but she still couldn't find her lost fanbase,' he added. 'She may soon need a telescope to see her career from here.' Model went off on TikTok, saying, 'That space mission this morning? That's end time sh-t. Like, this is beyond parody.' And she wasn't alone. reposted a scathing Guardian op-ed titled, 'The Blue Origin flight showcased the utter defeat of American feminism,' while straight-up questioned the point of the whole thing. According to insiders, Perry is now reportedly 'regretting' the whole kissing-the-ground bit and those in-capsule camera moments where she held a daisy to the lens, teased her tour setlist, and sang 'What a Wonderful World' while floating in microgravity. Katy Perry just launched her "Lifetimes" tour, and she didn't waste any time firing back at the critics who slammed her Blue Origin space flight. The pop star took her opening night in Mexico City as a chance to reclaim her narrative, and she did it in full intergalactic glam. The 40-year-old 'Dark Horse' singer strutted onto the stage in a reflective silver bodysuit, channeling full space diva energy as she soared above the crowd, snapped selfies with dancers dressed in NASA-blue suits, and recreated scenes inspired by her real-life space voyage. And in case fans thought she was going to ignore the controversy, Perry grabbed the mic and asked the crowd directly, 'Has anyone ever called your dreams crazy?' a not-so-subtle nod to the online firestorm.
