Huge noughties presenter looks worlds away from her TV days on the red carpet with Angelina Jolie – could you spot her?
A HUGE noughties TV presenter looked unrecognisable on the Cannes red carpet with Angelina Jolie. Through her work as a TV presenter and model, she has become a hugely influential figure in the fashion industry. 7 7 7 She frequently appears on best-dressed lists and is a regular model for Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar, and you can often find her in the front row at fashion shows. But she's also had a successful career as a TV presenter, hosting shows including 24 Hour Catwalk on Lifetime, and Next In Fashion on Netflix. It's none other than Alexa Chung, who cut a sensational figure in a beautiful black dress. The star wore her dark locks pushed behind her ears, and accessorised with some long silver earrings. The 41-year-old tucked her hands into the pockets of her dress, and rocked a subtle makeup look for her red carpet appearance at Cannes. She walked the red carpet alongside the likes of Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie, Emma Stone and Natalie Portman. Angelina looked sensational in a dusky pink gown and she wore her blonde hair down for the very glamorous event. Just last year, Alexa got engaged to her beau Tom Sturridge. A source said at the time: 'Alexa has confirmed to her friends that she is indeed engaged to Tom and she is over the moon. 'She is in a great place and seems completely head over heels for him. They're a great match. Alexa Chung speechless as Portrait Artist of The Year contestant urges her to sit with her legs open in dress 'They have been hard at work planning a wedding with all of their close pals there. 'It won't be a massive over-the-top affair but a smaller, classier and cooler bash.' Alexa has had a few famous partners over the years, but this is the first time she has got serious enough to become engaged. In the early Noughties she dated fashion photographer David Titlow, before a four-year romance with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner. She went on to have a two-year relationship with hunky actor Alexander Skarsgard and later dated confectionery heir Orson Fry. 7 7

Shia LaBeouf reveals he used to live in Central Park, slept where horses were kept
Shia LaBeouf is recalling a tough time in his life. During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the actor, 38, spoke about not being in a 'good way' in 2013 while rehearsing for the Broadway show Orphans. Weeks before the previews started, LaBeouf dropped out of the play, which follows two orphaned brothers, Treat and Phillip, and the man they take in, Harold, due to creative differences. The Even Stevens star told the outlet he was 'sleeping in Central Park.' 'They keep horses there at this little fire basin,' LaBeouf said. 'And there's a whole lot of room around there where you can just chill. You got to move every three or four hours and the guy comes around, but you can spend most of your time there.' He briefly touched on working on Orphans, in which he was supposed to play Treat, while Tom Sturridge was Phillip and Alec Baldwin was Harold. LaBeouf and Baldwin, 67, reportedly had mounting tension and were at odds when the young star abruptly left the production. 'He's a good guy,' LaBeouf said of Baldwin. 'He's just like me. Fear will make you move different. I found it came from having absolutely no spiritual life.' The star noted that finding Catholicism and living in a monastery 'changes the way you work, for sure.' LaBeouf acknowledged that not having a spiritual life, 'made me a piece of s**t' and 'not a nice guy.' 'Me and Alec would never have these problems now. But I was in an island,' he told the outlet. 'Then I hear Timothée Chalamet get up [at the 2025 SAG Awards] and he says something like, 'I want to be great.' I so know the feeling. On him, it's cute. On me, it wasn't cute.' In 2014, LaBeouf spoke to Interview Magazine about leaving the play and the difficult time in his life, calling it 'a heartbreak I still have not been able to recover from.' 'Baldwin and I butted heads hard. I came in method. I was sleeping in the park. I'd wake up, walk to rehearsal. I was so scared to do the play that I had memorised it before ever coming to rehearsal,' he said. 'And my whole goal was to intimidate the f**k out of Baldwin. That was the role. That was my job as an actor. And it wasn't going to be fake. I wanted him to be scared. So I went about doing that for three weeks of rehearsal, to the point that, in the end, it was unsustainable,' the actor added. LaBeouf rose to fame as a child playing Louis Stevens on the Disney Channel original series Even Stevens from 2000 to 2003. He then went on to star in the Transformers franchise from 2007 to 2011. LaBeouf's professional and personal life have been muddled with controversy over the years. He made waves in 2013 after showing up to the movie premiere of his film Nymphomaniac wearing a paper bag over his head that read 'I am not famous anymore.' In 2015, LaBeouf was arrested in Austin, Texas, for public intoxication. While shooting Nymphomaniac, LaBeouf met Mia Goth, whom he married in 2016. The pair's union was never legalised, but they separated in 2018. 'Shia and Mia have filed for divorce. The separation is amicable and all details pertaining to the divorce proceedings will remain private,' a rep told People at the time. He then began seeing FKA Twigs from 2018 to 2019. In 2020, Goth, 31, and LaBeouf got back together around the same time that FKA Twigs, 37, filed a sexual battery lawsuit, accusing the actor of 'relentless abuse.' A year later, a source told People that LaBeouf had stepped back from the spotlight 'so that he can get the help he needs.' 'I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years,' LaBeouf told the New York Times that same year. 'I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I'm ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I hurt.' 'I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalisations,' he added. In 2022, LaBeouf and Goth welcomed a child. 'I have a little girl, Isabel; she is five months old and just beginning to develop the last half of her laugh; it's AMAZING,' he wrote in a letter to Don't Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde. 'Mia, my wife & I have found each other again & are journeying toward a healthy family with love and mutual respect.' It was rumoured that LaBeouf was fired from the 2022 thriller, but he insisted he chose to leave the movie because he didn't think the cast was given enough rehearsal time. Now, LaBeouf is headed to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in May for the premiere of Slauson Rec. The documentary from Leo Lewis O'Neil follows the story of the controversial free acting school LaBeouf launched in Los Angeles in 2018. 'I gave Leo this camera and encouraged him to share his vision and his personal experience without edit. I am aware of the doc and fully support the release of the film. While my teaching methods may be unconventional for some, I am proud of the incredible accomplishments that these kids achieved. Together we turned a drama class into an acting company,' LaBeouf said per Vanity Fair. 'I wish only good things for Leo and everyone who was part of The Slauson Rec Company.'

Celebrity Big Brother star hit with massive blow as her huge Netflix TV show is axed just weeks after she left the house
Donna Preston has been hit with a huge blow after her TV show The Sandman was axed just weeks after she left Celebrity Big Brother. The actress, 38, had enjoyed a role playing Despair, one of the seven Endless, in the Netflix fantasy series. But the popular drama has been cancelled after two seasons amid allegations of sexual assault made against its creator Neil Gaiman. The writer, 64, denies all claims and has asked a federal court in Wisconsin to dismiss Scarlett Pavlovich's $7million (£5.6million) lawsuit against him, alleging that his accuser has 'fabricated a tale of abuse'. The second series of The Sandman began filming last year and is expected to be released on the streamer next year, after receiving praise from both fans and critics alike. The highly-anticipated adaptation stars Tom Sturridge as Morpheus aka Dream, the king of dreams who was captured and held captive for 106 years before escaping to reset order to his realm. The actress came fourth in the latest series of CBB and was cheered out of the house to cries of her name in the live final The original comic, penned by Gaiman from 1989 to 1996, was among the first graphic novels to appear on the New York Times bestseller list and is often regarded as one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Attempts to bring his beloved story to film were held up for years until Netflix signed a deal to produce the show in 2019. It finally premiered in 2022 and featured some well known names including Charles Dance, Stephen Fry, Jenna Coleman and Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer. Mark Hamill was also in the first series, voicing Mervyn Pumpkinhead, a chain-smoking janitor with a jack o'lantern for a head. In March, Gaiman branded Scarlett, 26, a 'fantasist' and claims he has WhatsApp messages proving their relationship was 'consensual'. The lawsuits - filed in Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York - claim the couple violated laws on federal human trafficking, with complaints of assault, battery and inflicting emotional distress against Gaiman and negligence against Palmer. The author, who called Pavlovich's allegations 'outrageous', has now urged the court to dismiss her lawsuit on the grounds that it was filed in the wrong jurisdiction. The 'alleged conduct claimed and described in the complaint, all supposedly occurred in New Zealand', where he was living with his wife prior to Palmer and Gaiman announcing their divorce in 2022. Gaiman's motion to dismiss - which was reviewed by - states that US courts have 'no legal authority' over the suit and argued 'requisite discovery' in the case would be 'severely burdened' if proceedings took place outside New Zealand. Nine women have made allegations against Gaiman, but he denies any wrongdoing and says that all sexual encounters were consensual. Donna came fourth in the latest series of CBB and was cheered out of the house to cries of her name in the live final. She was told she received the fewest amount of nominations out of all of the housemates - just two throughout the series. When asked about her odd nomination reasons, the star admitted: 'I think I was a bit naughty wasn't I. I honestly didn't have anything bad to say about anyone.' And opening up on her close friendship with Danny Beard, she sweetly quipped: 'As soon as I saw Danny I knew he was my comfort blanket and I knew I was going to be amazing friends with him.'
