Kristin Scott Thomas returns to stage with Chekhov twist after ‘My Mother's Wedding'
Kristin Scott Thomas is heading back to the stage in a daring new take on Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, marking her first major theatre role since directing and co-starring in My Mother's Wedding. The production, opening at London's Donmar Warehouse in November, reimagines the Russian classic through a contemporary lens, featuring a fresh script by Benedict Andrews. Scott Thomas will play Ranevskaya, the play's tragic matriarch, whose return to a crumbling estate mirrors themes of loss and displacement. The new adaptation, according to Donmar's artistic director Tim Sheader, is both emotionally urgent and politically charged. It's set to explore ideas of identity and legacy, drawing subtle parallels to the actress's recent work behind the camera. Earlier this year, My Mother's Wedding premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where Scott Thomas made her directorial debut. The semi-autobiographical film starred Scarlett Johansson and reflected on complex family dynamics, a thematic thread she continues to explore onstage with The Cherry Orchard. Fans and critics alike are eager to see how Scott Thomas reinvents the iconic role. She previously starred in Chekhov's Three Sisters and The Seagull, establishing her as a master interpreter of the playwright's emotionally layered women. Online, theatre circles and Chekhov fans have expressed excitement, with one post reading: 'Chekhov with Kristin Scott Thomas is all the serotonin I need.' Ticket demand has already surged since the announcement, and industry insiders expect a complete sell-out before previews begin. For Scott Thomas, this return to theatre not only affirms her continued range as a performer but also places her at the centre of a renewed conversation around reinventing the classics.

Carmen's Crew opens title defense of TBT with win over GoTime Green Machine
The Ohio State alumi basketball team known as "Carmen's Crew," started its defense of its TBT (The Basketball Tournament) championship by winning its first matchup in the tournament over No. 8 seed GoTime Green Machine, 78-67 in Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Sunday. The win came in a different way than years past. Two non-Buckeyes led Carmen's Crew, with Scott Thomas leading the way with 20 points, including three shots from beyond the arc to pace the way. Thomas played for Bowling Green in college. The second-leading scorer was also a player without ties to Ohio State, guard Jamel Morris (from Fairmont State), who poured in 13 points. The game was close in the first half, with the lead going back and forth. GoTime Green led 21-19 after the first quarter. Carmen's Crew found the mark from three-point range in the second quarter, hitting five triples to take a 42-36 lead at halftime. The Ohio State alums took control of the game in the third quarter, outscoring GoTime Green 24-17 in the period to take a 66-53 lead heading to the fourth quarter. Camen's Crew couldn't quite put away GoTime Green in the fourth, allowing things to tighten up all the way to 66-61 and then 69-63 when the Elam Ending was activated. From there, Carmen's Crew made fairly quick work of things, winning on a Jamel Morris layup. Only one former Buckeye played in the first game, and it was Keyshawn Woods, who contributed seven points and four rebounds. William Buford, Trevor Thompson, and Kaleb Wesson did not play. We'll see if that continues going forward, most likely not. Carmen's Crew will be back in action on Monday at 6 p.m. ET against the winner of Locked In Elite and Fort Wayne Champs.

‘Very high profile' star stopped by M&S security after being caught eating food without paying
A MYSTERY 'very high profile' celebrity has been called out by Ryan Thomas for an awkward incident in M&S. The former Corrie star appeared on the latest episode of his podcast alongside his brothers, Adam and Scott, discussing everything from train disasters to what kind of underwear they prefer. 4 4 However, during the chat, as the group spoke about the annoyance of self-checkout tills, Ryan shared that he had heard about a star who had been caught red-handed munching on produce in the middle of the store without buying it. "There is somebody that is very high profile, that was walking round M&S - I'm never going to mention their name, but it's a great story," he said. "He was walking around eating the mandarin oranges in M&S and the security guy came up to this person and said 'you can't eat them until you've paid for them'. "And this person said 'oh, i'm so sorry i've never done that before' and he went 'Yes you have... you've been doing it for the last six weeks!' "He went 'how do you know that' and he said 'because we watch you on camera every single week doing the same thing!'" "I can't tell you who, but it's a great story," Ryan concluded, later defending the star to his brothers by saying he was going to pay for them anyway. "I imagine some people don't though," noted Adam, to which Ryan joked it was a "try before you buy" situation. Ryan made sure not to give away anything too revealing about the star, not even using pronouns to identify them as a male or female, or how high profile he actually meant. The trio launched their podcast At Home With The Thomas Bros last month, with all three discussing anything on their minds that week as well as giving insights into their family lives. The launch came after Ryan and Adam landed their biggest gig yet as the host of a new ITV gameshow, 99 To Beat. His daughter, Scarlett, has also launched a career to follow her dad and mum – Corrie star Tina O'Brien – into the spotlight, shooting back at claims she's a nepo baby. Rather than ignore the tag, 16-year-old Scarlett is embracing the tag, and in April declared in a TikTok: "God forbid a girl takes the chances she gets.' She landed her first acting job playing Izzy Charles in BBC drama Waterloo Road at the age of 14, staring alongside her uncle Adam. However, in an exclusive interview with The Sun, Ryan was keen to note that she is making a career on her own merit. 'Everyone thinks she gets a lift up from family, getting on Waterloo Road," he told us. "But she worked damn hard to get that job, and people need to recognise that she's a talented girl – she's up against other people and she's not getting a free ride. 'She has to go through the same process as everyone else – it was between her and somebody else. It wasn't like, 'This is a Thomas, she's going to get this job'.' 4 4

Love Island's Jessy Potts looks incredible as she strips off to barely-there bikini in Croatia
LOVE Island's Jessy Potts looked incredible as she stripped off to a barely-there bikini in Croatia. Former Islander Jessy, 25, left very little to the imagination as she soaked up the sun on holiday. 6 6 6 The reality star - who shot to fame on Love Island last year - showed off her flawless body as she enjoyed a girls holiday. The blonde bombshell shared a slew of stunning snaps from her idyllic vacation. In the sexy pics Jessy can be seen wearing a barely-there bikini as she sat on a catamaran. The tiny two piece showed off her incredible figure. She wrote next to the stunning snaps: "Best time with the best gals in one of the best places," Jessy's fans rushed to compliment her on her pics, with one saying: "Gorgeous babe!" While another added: "Absolutely stunning!" This one simply said: "Beautiful." ROMANCE WITH OG ISLANDER Jessy was recently linked to another very famous Love Island star. Earlier this year, the stunner went on a string of dates with OG islander, Scott Thomas. But after just a month together, The Sun revealed how the couple had called time on their romance after realising they weren't compatible. A source told The Sun: "Jessy and Scott went on one date but decided they were better off as friends. "Jessy is looking forward to having a single summer and to get out there and date, while Scott has different priorities right now. "They felt that they would be better as pals and weren't compatible on a romantic level. "Jessy is keen to find a boyfriend who is ready to commit and who is emotionally available. "She's been single for a while now and is hoping she'll find a new man that will tick all her boxes." Shortly after their break-up Jessy told White Fox's podcast that she was fed up of being played by guys. She said she often dated "older" men, but said it doesn't always make them "wiser". 6 Jessy revealed: "I've been single, this is probably my fourth summer, it's pure hot girl summer vibes. "I'd like a boyfriend at some point. "I guess looks-wise tall, dark and handsome. "Personality-wise... I'm trying to avoid the commitment phobe, emotionally immature because that tends to be my type at the minute. "The boys need to step up this year. Emotionally they need to grow up." JOEY ESSEX SPLIT Jessy famously dated former Towie star Joey Essex after they met on Love Island. However, they didn't last long outside of the villa and just a month after the show ended they called time on their romance. At the time Joey told The Sun: "Unfortunately, we have decided to call an end to the relationship but I hope we can continue to be friends. "I truly wish Jessy the very best with whatever she does in the future." While Jessy added: "I appreciate the Love Island experience I had with Joey, we tried to make it work but it wasn't to be. "I'm so grateful to everyone who supported us and look forward to all of the exciting opportunities ahead."
