Hotel review: Check into Dublin's residents-only townhouse with a ‘poet-in-residence'
The Wilder is full of eye-catching touches like a suntrap terrace and original art Pól Ó Conghaile It's a sweet feeling to have a hotel tip in your back pocket. A place you know friends will like, has a few head-turning touches, yet does the hotel things well (hello, great showers and breakfasts). The Wilder Townhouse, set in a beautifully crisp Victorian red-brick, is one. A Dublin sister to The Montenotte in Cork, it opened in 2018 after a savvy, artful fit-out by owners Frankie and Jo Whelehan — and is the only hotel in the capital to feature in Ireland's Blue Book and the Mr & Mrs Smith and Small Luxury Hotels of the World collections... not a shabby holy trinity of hotel guides.

Hollywood stars' 'phenomenal chemistry' in action film saw them get together for real
Two of Hollywood's biggest names met and fell in love on the set of a hit blockbuster movie, with their on-screen chemistry being so intense that they went on to start a family In a story befitting of Tinseltown's finest romances, this star-studded pair crossed paths on the set of their blockbuster hit and later exchanged scripts for sweet nothings. Their sizzling on-screen dynamic didn't just stop when the director yelled "cut", as they soon became an item and welcomed children into their glittering world. Mr & Mrs Smith was the cinematic sensation that paired up big screen giants Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, propelling them to 'power couple' stardom. The movie wasn't only a box office triumph - it also played cupid for its leading stars who later joined in real life romance. During the shoot, Brad Pitt was famously still an item with Friends star Jennifer Aniston, yet his rapport with Jolie simply couldn't be ignored. With time, both actors confessed to falling head over heels while on set. A Rotten Tomatoes critique said the spark between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt was "without a doubt undeniable". Echoing this sentiment, a filmgoer commented: "The storyline isn't much to write home about, and the comedy isn't necessarily laugh-out-loud funny, but the action is sleek and stylish, and the chemistry between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is absolutely phenomenal." Their roles as a seemingly ordinary yet affluent married duo, each hiding their true identity of ace assassins from rival organisations, captivated audiences. Tasked to assassinate one another, the dramatic unveiling leads them to a crossroads between their devotion and duty, reports the Express. Despite the flick facing its fair share of scrutiny, it's gained notoriety for reasons beyond the screen. A viewer commented: "Part of cinema history because of the leading actor's subsequent marriage, but the film is only sporadically entertaining. It loses its way towards the end when the sometimes clever sexual tension gives way to standard action scenes that drain the premise from the plot." Echoing this sentiment, another critique mentioned overlooked "plot holes" in the movie. The on-screen chemistry between Pitt and Jolie kindled off-screen gossip, and soon after, Pitt's five-year marriage to Aniston dissolved. Subsequently, the new couple were holidaying together and confirmed their romance in a magazine feature. Not long after, Jolie was expecting with Pitt, three months following his finalised divorce. Their partnership thrived, welcoming and adopting children, culminating in a 2014 marriage. Brangelina enthusiasts were disheartened by the duo's 2016 separation, ending two years of matrimony and a 12-year union. Speculation has been rife since regarding custody battles, alleged rendezvous and new romances, yet the stars strive for family discretion.

Meet Jennifer Aniston's Rumoured New Boyfriend, Hypnotist Jim Curtis
A new celebrity pairing has been brought to our attention – and this one is particularly left field. According to gossip website Deux Moi, Jennifer Aniston has started dating the renowned life coach, transformational expert, author and master hypnotist, Jim Curtis. Curtis was first put on social media sleuths' radars when he and Aniston started following each other on Instagram and liking and commenting on each other's posts. Then came their dinner together at hotel Ventana Big Sur in Northern California in June. And most recently they were spotted in Mallorca celebrating the Fourth of July weekend, with Aniston introducing Curtis to Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka, before they all partied together on a yacht. All of which is, by today's standards, more than enough to spark an onslaught of relationship rumours. After battling with a chronic illness for over 20 years, Curtis turned to 'hypno-realisation' and neurogenesis and later became a hypnotist, life coach and author, helping thousands of others in the process. On his website he writes, 'I've helped thousands of others break free from their past to create an entirely new reality of powerful loving connection.' It is unclear whether Curtis has been married himself, but given that he is an expert in guiding people through divorce, it's possible that he has been through one himself. Aniston knows more than anyone that in Hollywood there is no such thing as an innocent sighting. Ever since her marriage to Brad Pitt fell apart in 2005 after his stint in Mr & Mrs Smith opposite his future-wife (turned ex-wife) Angelina Jolie, Aniston has been bombarded with speculation about her love life. She was first linked to Vince Vaughn in late 2005 after they co-starred in The Break-Up, but the relationship ended the following year. In 2008, Aniston said, 'I call Vince my defibrillator. He literally brought me back to life. My first gasp of air was a big laugh!' Then came a string of rumoured romances with British model Paul Sculfor, singer John Mayer, Bradley Cooper, Gerrard Butler and restauranteur Harry Morton. In 2011, she started dating Justin Theroux after they met on the set of Tropic Thunder, who she later married in 2015 in a secret, A-list ceremony officiated by Jimmy Kimmel. However, at the start of 2018 they announced they were getting divorced. Since then, Aniston has taken pains to keep her personal life as private as possible. Save for a brief rumour that she was dating David Schwimmer in 2021 after they both admitted they had feelings for each other during the filming of Friends, she is often 'tied to someone' for a day or two and then the unsubstantiated rumour is swiftly forgotten. However, whether it's because she's Rachel from Friends or what happened with Pitt all those years ago, the world is desperate – unhealthily so – to see Aniston find love. She is the first to admit that she has looked for it herself and has spoken candidly about her hopes to have children, but also that the unrelenting media attention about her personal life has done nothing to help. 'It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road,' she said in 2022. 'All the years of speculation. It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it. I would've given anything if someone had said to me, 'Freeze your eggs. Do yourself a favour.' You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed.' The question, then, is whether she's seeking spiritual guidance from Curtis, dating him, or both. He is, after all, a specialist in helping people 'break free from their past patterns' to find love. Just last week Aniston liked his Instagram post which reads, 'Repeat these affirmations to heal and recover from a divorce, breakup or difficult romance and begin to call in the new empowered, healthy and divine love.' In April, she also admitted that she'd been undergoing hypnotherapy to combat her fear of flying. 'It's shockingly good,' she explained. Quite how good remains to be seen… Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news.

New cast confirmed for season 2 of Prime Video' best thriller series that's the 'perfect mix of grit and wit'
Last year Prime Video released one of the best thriller shows we've seen in a long time - Mr & Mrs Smith. Starring Donald Glover and Maya Erskine, the eight-part series saw the pair's characters start new roles as spies for a mysterious organisation and as part of their roles they must pretend to be a happily married couple. And as is often the case in these dramas the lines often got blurred between colleagues and a real relationship, resulting in a perfect mix of dangerous missions, hilarious scenes and poignant romantic revelations. And now the show is officially coming back for a second season, but this time it's got a brand new duo playing a new seemingly married couple. Yes! Following the release of the first season Mr & Mrs Smith co-creator Francesca Sloane teased a potential update on another season of the show. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly on 2nd February 2024, Sloane said she was keen for the possibility of another season, explaining there's so much more they could do with the story and concept. "I think that there's definitely a lot more story to tell here,' she explained. 'I think that we definitely feel like this is a fully satisfied story if it were to just live on its own. But it definitely has more legs to keep going, that's for sure." And then on 14th May 2024, Prime Video confirmed they would be making another season of Mr & Mrs Smith. Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon MGM Studios, said of the news: "We are excited to announce that a second season of our groundbreaking spy series, Mr. and Mrs. Smith is in the works for our global Prime Video customers. The success of the first season, with its incredibly modern, sexy reinvention of the original film, is a testament to the brilliant creators Donald Glover and Francesa Sloane. We are proud to bring you another season filled with unforgettable journeys and new adventures.' Ok bad news folks, Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are not set to reprise their roles next season, but if you've watched the season finale then that likely won't come as a shock to you. As we discovered in season one, there are many different spies employed to go undercover as different versions of Mr and Mrs Smith, so it looks like we'll have an exciting opportunity to see a new pair of spies take on these iconic aliases. And we now know the next pairing to take on the roles will be Sophie Thatcher and Mark Eydelshteyn. You'll most likely know Sophie from her role in Yellowjackets and the movies Companion and Heretic. Mark is best known for appearing in the Oscar-winning Anora. As mentioned, the eight-part series (which was released in February 2024), follows a couple who are recruited by a spy agency to work together, and partake in a fake marriage as part of their missions. It's loosely inspired by the film (but differs in that the original couple didn't realise each other were also spies), with the official synopsis reading, "Meet the Smiths: two lonely strangers, John and Jane, who have given up their lives and identities to be thrown together as partners – both in espionage and in marriage. It's a Prime Video original, so you'll need to be a Prime member to access Prime Video. Amazon Prime costs £8.99 per month or £95 a year, which works out at £7.92 a month. WATCH HERE
