London's Walkie Talkie building transformed with stunning F1 projection
The dramatic visuals showcased 35 bespoke F1 car liveries, including four designed by famous faces such as presenter Natalie Pinkham, Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, dancer Nadiya Bychkova, and broadcaster Roman Kemp London's famed Walkie Talkie building has been given a dazzling makeover with an impressive projection display, in honour of the nation's burgeoning passion for Formula 1. The spectacular visuals featured 35 custom F1 car liveries, including four created by well-known personalities such as presenter Natalie Pinkham, Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, dancer Nadiya Bychkova, and broadcaster Roman Kemp. The eye-catching projection covered a whopping 4,250 square metres across the skyscraper. The stunt was in response to research from Formula 1 which revealed that around 16.7 million Brits – nearly a quarter of the population – now consider themselves big F1 fans. It showed a significant increase in the number of female viewers of the sport, with women now making up 41 percent of UK fans. The same study showed that F1 is attracting younger audiences as well – 42 percent of fans are under 35, a figure that has increased by 11 percentage points over the last seven years. The projection was brought to life in collaboration with sponsor Lenovo, demonstrating the blend of sport, creativity, and state-of-the-art technology. Louise Forbes from the tech firm expressed: "We're thrilled to unveil a world-first AI-driven projection experience on the iconic Fenchurch Building – bringing cutting-edge technology and bold creativity to the heart of London and igniting a new era of immersive marketing. "We're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible and partnering with Formula 1 is the perfect showcase for that spirit of innovation." This follows a record-breaking turnout of 500,000 fans at Silverstone earlier this month to witness the F1 spectacle at the British Grand Prix. The event is believed to contribute significantly to the £12bn value that Formula 1 brings to the UK economy. However, the sport's popularity isn't just growing at the races or on television. Additional research conducted by Formula 1 and Motorsport Network revealed that 61 percent of fans engage with F1 content daily – sourcing their fix through social media, YouTube, and Twitch. And it's not just the race days they're tuning in for; 71 percent state that the high performance and precision of the sport are key reasons they identify as fans. To further enhance fan engagement, Lenovo has introduced its #RaceToCreate web app, powered by Intel, which allows users to design their very own F1 car livery – from colours and patterns to personalised touches.

Nicole Scherzinger lands Las Vegas residency after Tony Award success
Nicole Scherzinger is to perform in a Las Vegas residency after lighting up Broadway and London's West End with her award-winning role in the musical Sunset Boulevard Nicole Scherzinger is all set for a Las Vegas residency. After scooping a Tony Award for her role in Sunset BLVD, the new Queen of Broadway is a hot property and Nicole is looking ahead to Sin City, my sources tell me. 'Nicole is achieving all her career dreams this year,' the insider says. 'She's conquered Broadway and won a well-deserved Tony, but Nicole has no plans to slow down her career, not when she's in her absolute prime and in such demand.' Earlier this year, Nicole said of a Vegas residency: 'That's the dream.' Now, that dream is looking closer to reality. The source says there have been early discussions, with Nicole hoping to grace the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, like her idol Celine Dion. Our source added: 'She's a huge fan of Celine's and would love to follow in her footsteps.' Sir Rod Stewart, Kelly Clarkson, Alanis Morissette and Jennifer Lopez are all lined up to perform on the iconic stage this year, so she'd be in good company." It is thought a Vegas show could follow a similar format to Nicole's highly anticipated Carnegie Hall gig, which is happening this October. The former Pussycat Doll will be joined by a live band to perform hits from the worlds of Broadway and pop. Last weekend, Nicole picked up the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical gong for playing Norma Desmond in Broadway hit Sunset BLVD. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has said Nicole is 'one of the most gifted singer-actresses I have seen perform my work… she is fearless, musically and dramatically.' Nicole has been in the spotlight since 2001 when she was a member of American girl group Eden's Crush who were created on the American television series Popstars. She later joined the chart-topping group The Pussycat Dolls - who have enjoyed success since 2005. The girl group last released a single in 2020 and were due to go on a tour in support of reported new music - but the pandemic derailed plans and the Pussycat Dolls disbanded in 2022. Nicole has enjoyed success as a solo artist - releasing smash hits including the singles Don't Hold Your Breath, Your Love and Right There, featuring 50 Cent. She has also dipped her toes into the world of acting both on stage and the big screen. She appeared in the 2012 sci-fi comedy Men in Black 3 and voices Sina, the Chieftess of Motunui, in the Mona animated films by Disney. On stage she featured in a 2010 production of Rent and a production of Cats which ran from 2014 until 2015. Her current star turn as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard began in London in 2023 before transferring to Broadway the following day. As well as winning a Tony, the former X Factor judge also won the 2024 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance in the UK. After performing at the 2025 Tony Awards, Nicole shared a video clip via Instagram. In a gushing post, she wrote: "This is a dream come true for me to perform As If We Never Said Goodbye @thetonyawards. "This is my love letter to the theater. And to anyone with a deep passion for what you do, this was for you too." She added: "What an honor to share this song with a community that has held me and lifted me. I am forever grateful."
