Sophie Turner's Talks Summer Food Hauls, Cocktails - And Why Her Planned Glastonbury Trip Will End In Tears
Even the most well-travelled people can attest that there are few better places than London in the summer. And, just like the rest of us, you'll find Sophie Turner either pubbing or picnic-ing when the weather works in our favours. 'There's got to be some M&S nibbles on the spread,' states Turner. 'You can't go wrong with a Food Hall haul. Get some burrata, cherry tomatoes, a bit of pesto in there, bish bash bosh. And of course, everything gets washed down with some St Germain.' FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE The actress has collaborated with the elderflower liqueur brand this Summer, and for Sophie, it was an easy deal. 'My collaboration with St Germain felt really authentic for me because I genuinely use the product! The drink feels like the epitome of British Summer time - if it's a sunny day out, you can count on me having a picnic and drinking a St Germain Hugo Spritz.' For those who haven't yet rustled up a Hugo Spritz, take some St Germain, combine with sparkling wine, top it up with soda water and garnish with fresh mint and lime. Neither of us have had lunch yet when Turner and I catch up via Zoom, so I swiftly move the conversation from food and drink onto festivals to find out what Sophie's Summer is saying. 'I'm going to Glastonbury! I haven't been in about 12 years. I'm going with three of my best girl friends and I am so excited – it's going to be a blast. I can't wait to see Neil Young – Harvest Moon is my favourite song of all time. I'm just going to be standing there, crying.' Evidentially a big music fan, Turner goes through her Summer playlist with me: 'I like a lot of kind of, old stuff? I love Seabird by The Alessi Brothers, I think that's one of my all time favourites. But there're a lot of different artists on here actually; there's some Role Model, Little Simz, Glass Animals, Sierra Ferrell, Rachel Chinouriri – oh, and David Gray for some classics.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by S O P H I E T U R N E R (@sophiet) Turner's eclecticism in music definitely extends to her personal style. Her summer wardrobe comprises of basketball shorts and oversized souvenir t-shirts she's collected from various holiday locations. 'When I was younger, my Dad would go away and bring us back these t-shirts. I love the feeling of wearing mine now, as if my Dad's given them to me.' On the feet, it's a toss-up between some statement trainers; Turner picks from Wales Bonner, Miista and Alohas, 'an amazing Spanish brand. I'm looking at them right now and they're just wonderful'. A self-confessed 'jeans and a t-shirt girl', the Summer is proving proves the optimum time for Turner to push her sartorial boundaries after undergoing a colour analysis test. 'I've found out I'm a "light spring", so I'm leaning into trying those colours that suit me more – something a bit more vibrant for the warmer weather.' As a mother of two – Willa, born in 2020 and Delphine, in 2022 – Turner's approach to fashion and beauty certainly is one of style and substance, ensuring balance between fashion and functionality. 'We don't have AC in London. It's all about practicality in a summer wardrobe, for me.' Her skincare routine is a slathering of P20 sunscreen and some Weleda Skin Food. 'I just don't really have time to properly get ready anymore – I'll try and get a bit of life in me before the kids wake up but then, as the day hits 7am, I've got to hit the road and get going.' In a chic contrast to her easy-breezy demeanour, Turner has been a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton since 2017. 'I just feel more put together when I wear Vuitton' she confesses. I think, every mother has a superpower – perhaps Turner's might just be a Murakami Speedy. Despite starting her career with the blockbusting Game of Thrones at 15 years old, Turner remains totally grounded. We talk about upcoming holidays, to which she has none; she is working solidly at the moment (intriguingly, she can't disclose on what), but she is going to New York with St Germain for 'some promotional stuff, and I'll count that as a holiday'. Perhaps it is the work ethic instilled in her from being a teen, but her gratitude feels refreshing. 'It's very exciting to me. Nothing really beats New York in June. Well, I say that. Do you know what does beat New York in June? British Summer. London in good weather. There is just nothing better.' Cheers to that.

Trump lashes out at Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen in bizarre social media rants
President Donald Trump spent the morning lashing out at celebrities online while his four-day Middle East tour came to an end. The head of state was in the United Arab Emirates to strike business deals and lure investments but managed to have time for his typical social media rants. He took to his Truth Social platform on Friday, May 16 to first take aim at pop superstar Taylor Swift. 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'' he asked his nearly 10 million followers. Swift has taken a break from the public eye in recent months, following the end of her record-breaking 149-show Eras Tour, which spanned 21 countries over nearly two years. It's no secret that she and Trump aren't fond of each other, and they have each expressed their distaste for the other on various occasions. The particular moment that Trump is referencing came after she endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris ' presidential bid last year. A few posts after Trump reiterated his hatred for the 'Anti-Hero' singer, he moved onto Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Bruce Springsteen. The 'Born in the U.S.A.' rocker recently described Trump as 'sadistic' and 'incompetent' while critiquing his administration during a tour stop in England. 'Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he's not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK,' Trump wrote, calling Springsteen 'highly overrated' and 'dumb as a rock' for having previously supported former President Joe Biden. 'This dried out 'prune' of a rocker (his skin is all atrophied!) ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT until he gets back into the Country, that's just 'standard fare.' Then we'll all see how it goes for him!' the president continued. Springsteen isn't the only musician Trump has threatened. He allegedly 'tried every trick in the book' to prevent Canadian rock legend Neil Young from becoming a U.S. citizen, according to the musician's wife Daryl Hannah. Young, like Springsteen, has been a vocal critic of Trump's for years, and has referred to him as 'a disgrace to my country.' The 'Harvest Moon' singer expressed his own concerns about being let back into the country, despite now holding dual Canadian-American citizenship, due to his outspoken views on Trump. 'When I go to play music in Europe, if I talk about Donald J. Trump, I may be one of those returning to America who is barred or put in jail to sleep on a cement floor with an aluminium blanket,' Young wrote on his website in April. 'That's right folks, if you say anything bad about Trump or his administration, you may be barred from re-entering USA.' Meanwhile, as Trump continues to pick fights with some of the music world's biggest stars, many are still waiting for him to deliver on promises to quickly put an end to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza. The president has said he'd help facilitate negotiations since he took office in January, but has struggled to deliver. Trump said on Friday that he aims to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin 'soon' to discuss a Russia-Ukraine peace deal after Putin declined peace talks earlier this week.

GALLERY: A look at the ‘Doodlecasts' of Fox 16 Chief Meteorologist Carmen Rose
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — For the last five years, residents of the Natural State have relied on Fox 16 Chief Meteorologist and the Arkansas Storm Team to learn about what's happening with weather in the state. When she that she would be leaving the airways on April 1 for a new kind of air as a pilot and officer for the United States Air Force Reserves, it meant not only the end of her time on TV, but also the end of her daily 'Doodlecasts.' Carmen Rose stepping into Chief Meteorologist role for FOX 16 News Each day while putting together her forecast, Rose creates images that are colorful and perfectly fitting of the current weather. She said that drawing has been a passion as far back as she can remember, inspired by her grandmother who was self-taught. 'My grandmother was a huge influence on my creativity as she was a self-taught artist. She was the first one I remember teaching me how to trace shapes and blend colors,' Rose said. 'In school, it transitioned more into doodling notes and drawing diagrams. At Michigan State, a professor of mine encouraged doodling as a productive learning tool, and I really took it to heart.' She said that her 'Doodlecasts' started two months into her time at Fox 16 during COVID when she was doing her forecasts from home. It became an efficient way of illustrating the weather and a creative outlet that viewers enjoyed. 'Weather is a science. It's not typically something you see a ton of creativity with. I absolutely love science and love being creative,' Rose said. 'The ability to combine the two has been so enjoyable for me, and I hope it encourages others to blend them together more. Why choose between being analytical or artsy when you can be both?' PHOTOS: Throwback to the first day of school with the FOX 16 News team During her time at Fox 16, Rose said some of the highlights have been school visits, launching a weather balloon and doing her forecast live at events like air shows, Travelers games, and the World's Shortest St. Patrick's Day Parade. Another aspect of her position as a meteorologist that she enjoys has been being able to encourage other women to pursue careers in similar STEM fields. 'Meteorology is a STEM field, and like most careers in the field, about a third of women make up meteorology. Of those women in broadcast meteorology, less than 10% are chiefs,' Rose said. 'I hope I have been able to show young girls and women, opportunities in science and management are there.' Arkansas Storm Team Weather Blog: How to see an extra special Harvest Moon this year While the Arkansas Storm Team and Team 20 will miss her, the skies are in good hands with Rose's future career. She has had her private pilot's license for over a year and hopes to eventually fly the Air Force's C-130 Hercules in Arkansas. 'I've always been one to chase wild dreams, and the one for flying is one I cannot ignore. Fortunately, our viewers will be left in good hands with the Arkansas Storm Team,' Rose said. 'It's been an incredible journey in this industry, and I'm thankful for the decade dedicated to it.'

She said her plan is to donate part of the proceeds from them to a nonprofit for mental health and cognitive development because drawing and doing art has been so therapeutic for her.

3 Full Supermoons Will Light Up the Night Sky in 2025—Here's How and When to See Them
For some events, three might be a crowd. But at the end of 2025, the trio of back-to-back full supermoons will certainly be a welcome sight for stargazers. According to NASA, there will be three consecutive full supermoons this year, occurring within the first week of October, November, and December. This celestial phenomenon takes place three to four times a year when the moon appears larger than usual. Here's when and how to see all of the full supermoons that will occur this year. Related: Astronomers Are Monitoring a Newly Discovered Asteroid—That Could Hit Earth To be considered "super," a new or full moon has to occur when the moon's orbit is nearing its closest point to Earth (known as perigee). According to NASA, it takes approximately 27 days for the moon to take a trip around our planet, so it reaches perigee once a month at a distance of roughly 226,000 miles away. Because the moon's orbit changes depending on where the sun and Earth are in their orbits, some supermoons are closer or farther than others. For this reason, a new or full moon is considered a supermoon if it is as least 90 percent from perigee, which happens about three to four times a month. Has there ever been a time you looked at the rising or setting moon and it looked enormous? Different from a supermoon, this is a phenomenon known as moon illusion, and it's just your mind playing tricks on you. While continued research for the reason this happens is still needed, moon illusion often occurs when a full moon is close to the horizon. According to NASA, some proposed explanations have to do with how our brains perceive the size of objects that are nearer or farther away, and how far away we think objects are when they're close to the horizon. It's believed that our brains don't know that the moon's distance doesn't change based on where it is in the sky. So, what is the difference between a full supermoon versus a new supermoon? It's simple—one we can see, and the other we can't. These two moon phases are opposite one another and are defined by the location of where the Earth, sun, and moon are. A new moon takes place when, in its orbit, the entire face of the moon we see from Earth is not sunlit, meaning it looks dark or invisible to us. A new supermoon is when a new moon occurs near the perigee. On the contrary, once it continues in its rotation cycle and arrives at the point where we get a complete view of the moon glowing in sunlight, a full supermoon can occur. Here's when you can spot all of the full supermoons in 2025. The first one of the year, the full Harvest Supermoon, will reach its brightest illumination on the evening of October 6 at 11:48 p.m. EDT. This glowing orb in the sky, which occurs near the autumnal equinox, will look larger than life when it passes by the horizon. According to The Old Farmers Almanac, because this full moon is the closest to the changing of seasons, it's given the name Harvest Moon, even though the October full moon is typically called the Hunter's Moon. In the years when this happens, September's full moon, which is normally named the Harvest Moon, is referred to as the Corn Moon. Why these labels? According to folklore, it's the time of year when the hunters and farmers start their preparations for winter and frosty months. The full Beaver Supermoon is the second full supermoon of the year and will be at its brightest on the morning of November 5 at 8:19 a.m. EDT. This supermoon will be a true one by definition, as it will be at 100 percent perigee at 221,817 miles from Earth. According to The Old Farmers Almanac, the Beaver Moon nickname originates from European, Colonial, and Native American culture. It is the annual time beavers start to get ready for the upcoming winter, finding shelter and building their food supply. Lastly, we end the year with the full Cold Supermoon. Approaching 221,965 miles from Earth, this moon will shine its brightest on December 4 at 6:14 p.m. EDT. As its name implies, this full supermoon takes place during one of the coldest months of the year. According to The Old Farmers Almanac, its alias comes from North American tribes and the Celtic heritage. December marks the beginning of the winter season, which typically experiences some of the coldest weather of the year, so naming it the Cold Moon seemed very fitting.
