The real reason Kate Moss SNUBBED pal Fat Tony's star-studded wedding
SUPERMODEL Kate Moss snubbed her DJ pal Fat Tony's wedding after learning her nemesis Fran Cutler was invited, sources claim. But insiders said Kate pulled out when she discovered PR supremo Fran — her former friend — was attending the wedding in central London on Saturday. The pair got to know each other in the 1990s when Fran would plan parties for Jude Law and Sadie Frost — who were good pals with Kate. But their high-profile friendship ended in 2018, after Fran was said to have accidentally sent Kate a photo of her with a critical comment. A source said: 'Kate snubbing Fat Tony's big day was the talk of the wedding. 'He wanted to have Kate there as he married his partner Stavros Agapiou. "But after she found out Fran was going, she said she couldn't make it. ' Tony is said to have known for a while that Kate wouldn't be going if Fran was. "She was really missed and the guests were talking about it. 'Fran was on great form but didn't say anything about it. "It's all rather sad that they couldn't put on brave faces to celebrate Tony's big day.' Kate Moss fans stunned as supermodel 'spotted at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend' - but all is not what it seems Long-time pal Tony previously said about Kate: 'I loved her from the moment we met. 'I'd make her Long Island iced teas and she'd get p***ed. "I'd tuck her under a desk.' 3

Why Taylor Swift Is Reportedly 'Relieved' Her Friendship With Blake Lively Is Over
Taylor Swift is allegedly in her 'relieved' era after ending her friendship with Blake Lively over the Justin Baldoni legal drama. A source told the Daily Mail that the singer is 'relieved the relationship is over' because she can now 'see all the red flags' she missed in their friendship. The source claimed that Swift put up with Lively's 'antics for too long because she's a loyal friend.' More from SheKnows Every Star Taylor Swift Has Feuded With The source's claims come after Baldoni's legal team withdrew a subpoena sent to Swift, officially ending her involvement in the It Ends With Us director's legal battle with Lively, which was supposedly the cause of her feud with her longtime friend. Baldoni is suing his It Ends With Us co-star and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging that they tried to destroy his career with false allegations of sexual harassment. Baldoni's lawsuit came after Lively sued him and a cast of publicists for allegedly launching an online whisper campaign against her in retaliation for her harassment complaints. Swift was dragged into the mix when she was referenced in Baldoni's lawsuit as a 'megacelebrity friend' of Lively and Reynolds, whom he alleged they used to pressure him to accept Lively's script rewrites. He claimed Lively referred to Swift as one of her 'dragons' and alleged he was invited to a meeting with Swift and Reynolds where the singer praised Lively's edits, which Baldoni took as a sign that he was expected to change the screenplay. Swift was subpoenaed in the case, and a court filing from Bryan Freedman, Baldoni's lead attorney, stated that he was looking for evidence that Lively's lawyer threatened Swift's legal team that they would release texts between the two friends if Swift did not issue a statement of support for Lively on social media. Lively's team has called Freedman's suggestion that such evidence exists 'unequivocally and demonstrably false.' In a statement issued on May 22, via Variety, a spokesperson for Lively accused Baldoni and his team of trying to exploit Swift's fame to sensationalize their claims. 'We are pleased that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties have withdrawn their harassing subpoenas to Taylor Swift and her law firm,' the spokesperson said. 'We supported the efforts of Taylor's team to quash these inappropriate subpoenas directed to her counsel, and we will continue to stand up for any third party who is unjustly harassed or threatened in the process.' 'The Baldoni and Wayfarer team have tried to put Taylor Swift, a woman who has been an inspiration for tens of millions across the globe, at the center of this case since day one,' Lively's spokesperson added. 'Faced with having to justify themselves in federal court, they folded. At some point, they will run out of distractions from the actual claims of sexual harassment and retaliation they are facing.'Best of SheKnows Elizabeth Hurley & Billy Ray Cyrus, & More of the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years Yoko Ono's Daughter Kyoko, & 22 Surprising Celebrities That Were In or Linked to a Cult 7 Ways Chrissy Teigen Has Altered Her Appearance Over the Years: Plastic Surgery & More

The Better Sister – Season 1 Episode 7 'Back from Red' Recap & Review
Episode 7 Episode 7 of The Better Sister begins with a flashback to the day before Chloe's event. Adam is tired of their celeb life and picks a fight over it. He pushes her and blames her for his anger. Ethan is talking to Nicky and sees everything. At present, Chloe tells Ethan that while she was angry, she didn't kill Adam. In the morning, Ethan is amused as Nicky and Chloe reminisce about their childhood. They had turned a prayer into a ghost story. For Chloe, the prayer would end in Wallace Lake while Nicky preferred Shadow Lake. The cops are back to square one as Jake has a strong alibi. The lieutenant insists that they need to find a killer as it is a high-profile case. Michelle hangs out with Jake and there are no hard feelings between them. They joke about how messy and dark white rich people are and she warns him to stay away from the Macintoshes. Chloe has come to apologise and she overhears. Once Michelle leaves, Jake looks defeated. He is upset that Chloe weaponised his feelings for her. It is confirmed that they didn't have an affair and the sex before the second hearing was the first time they did anything. He tells her to leave. On her way back, Chloe runs into Matt who reveals that he has been following her. He tells her to be careful about Olivero and she is weirded out by his obsession. The cops finally get a lead when Clark reveals that Arty was kicked out of the bar at 7 after a fight. A flashback shows Adam hiding at the bar instead of going to Chloe's party. He spots Arty and expects him joke about Chloe's controlling nature but it backfires. Arty is protective as he is aware of their shouting matches. He threatens Adam should he hurt Chloe and Clark kicks him out. Nancy heads to her psych eval and we learn of her trauma. She was after a trafficker and finally cornered him after a frustrating investigation. She attacked him instead of waiting for backup and almost died because of it. The therapist explains that she needs a support system that will understand her. Back at the NYC apartment, Arty is glad to see Ethan home. Chloe thanks him for looking out for the boy. She then checks Adam's computer and is annoyed to learn that Bill has deleted all files related to Gentry. Ethan decides to scatter Adam's ashes and gives a eulogy. Adam was an angry father and Ethan was quite scared of him. But he did love him. Nancy hounds Nicky next by showing up at the AA meeting. She nicks Nicky's cigarette for a DNA test but Nicky one-ups her. She ropes in Kevin and follows Nancy secretly. Meanwhile, Chloe tells Catherine that she is ready to come back to work. Catherine is sympathetic to Nicky's case. Chloe confesses that cutting off Nicky was practical but she regrets it. Catherine suggests writing a book about it to win over the board. And by giving the royalties to Nicky and letting her into their elite circle, Chloe can try and make it up to her. As for Nicky, she arrives at an assisted living facility where Nancy is visiting Eddy, a disabled man. She asks a nurse who reveals Nancy is responsible for Eddy's injuries and checks in on him at times. Back to Chloe, she meets Bill who insists on a fresh start. He assures that he didn't delete any files and warns her to stay away from the FBI. She doesn't buy his concern and he schemes with his assistant once she leaves. He is partially right as Agent Olivero shows up at Jake's. He has been blackmailing Adam and Jake into finding dirt on Gentry. Jake tries to refuse and Olivero roughs him up. Elsewhere, Nancy confronts Arty about his alibi and he claims that he has been having an affair. It checks out but what shocks her is when Arty reveals that Nicky is taking care of Adam's mother in Ohio. At the same time, Olivero meets Matt. Chloe gets the usual death threats and Nicky tries to lighten the mood. They are interrupted by Ethan who had put in a request for the files of the pool incident. The report claims Ethan was cold but he hadn't swallowed water. Nicky had a couple of pills and alcohol in her. Adam shared that Nicky was rambling the Wallace Lake prayer when he found her. The trio is shocked as this means Ethan didn't drown. And Chloe had told Adam about the Wallace Lake joke, he didn't know that Nicky had her Shadow Lake version. They realise that he lied. A flashback shows Nicky putting Ethan in a float and hanging about the house. Adam arrives and is upset that Ethan is floating alone in the pool. He roofies her lemonade and once she drinks it, she passes out in the pool. He calls the cops, claiming that his wife and son are drowning. At present, Chloe argues with Hallucination Adam who claims it was a matter of time before Nicky would have killed Ethan. He did it for his son. He also points out that Chloe's life would not be what it is had Nicky been in the picture. Chloe regrets the involuntary hold and cries. Nicky comforts her and reveals that she saw the files a few years ago. She was angry with Adam but knows Chloe was the better mother to Ethan. She was heartbroken when Adam ruined Chloe's life too. It is why she came back to protect her. Chloe is shocked by the confession and The Better Sister Episode 7 comes to a close. The Episode Review It looks like the Amazon Prime show has been sleeping for five episodes straight and now that the finish line is close, they are rushing to churn out their potential ideas into storylines. The Better Sister Episode 7 crams in several such plotlines like Arty's friendship with Chloe and Ethan, Nancy's trauma, Olivero's 'psycho' strategy, Jake's exploitation, Bill's shady behaviour which still has yet to reach a culmination point and Ethan's feelings about his father. We get that Adam's abusive and manipulative behaviour is the big reveal for the final conflict but the rest of the storylines could have easily been integrated from the beginning of the show. But in trying to keep up the suspense, the first six episodes resort to vague clues, suspicious behaviours and several red herrings which can end up boring viewers. These aspects are mostly fillers for when the episodes are not showcasing the sisters' estranged relationship. Had the writers paced out all the different subplots uniformly over the eight episodes, it could have made for a better thriller drama.

Inside celebrity siblings biggest fall outs from Brooklyn Beckham and Romeo to the Gallagher brothers' bitter feud
THERE have been some massive fall outs among famous siblings. From Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham spat to the Gallagher brothers' bitter feud, there are several famous faces who are at war, or have been in the past, with their family, And British stars aren't the only ones, because there are several high-profile Hollywood stars who have been at war with their loved ones. From Julia Roberts to Leonardo DiCaprio - The Sun explores some of the biggest sibling feuds. Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham 12 Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz were notable absentees from his dad David Beckham 's recent birthday bash. Brooklyn's siblings Romeo, Cruz and Harper all turned out to party with their dad, mum, and famous names like Tom Cruise and Guy Ritchie, while the eldest Beckham child was nowhere to be seen. And since the snub, a rift between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo has been uncovered. Romeo's girlfriend is Kim Turnbull, who previously dated Brooklyn. Romeo and his girlfriend Kim, who Brooklyn once dated, have kept things low-key since going public in November. The Sun understands Nicola and Brooklyn had intended to be at David's birthday bash but cancelled at short notice due to Kim being in attendance. Brooklyn felt uncomfortable that his ex would be in attendance. But the blame is being levelled at Nicola, which has upset Brooklyn, according to a source. Kim Turnbull puts on brave face as she returns to work while Romeo jets to Paris with his mates amid family feud They said: 'She has never told him what to do and has been nothing but supportive — she's a loyal wife." Brooklyn and Nicola also missed an intimate evening last Wednesday at the family's £10million Cotswolds mansion. The dinner was attended by Victoria, Romeo, Cruz, and his girlfriend Jackie. Kim was absent, as were Brooklyn and Nicola. Liam and Noel Gallagher 12 12 The two Manchester-born stars became famous together when they were in the band Oasis. Clashing personalities saw Noel briefly quit the band after Liam threw a tambourine at him during a performance. Later, Noel hit Liam on the head with a cricket bat when Liam annoyed him while he was working. Liam's last-minute pull-out and heckling from the audience during their MTV Unplugged performance in 1996 added to the feud. The last straw was when a backstage argument in Paris in 2009, reportedly over Liam's clothing firm, Pretty Green, led to Noel's decision to leave the band. But last month, Liam and Noel performed together for the first time in 16 years as they took to the stage of a members' club in north London. And now, the pair are preparing for the Oasis reunion tour which will take place later this year. Leonardo DiCaprio and his step-brother Adam Farrar 12 12 Although Leo and his step-brother Adam were close as kids, as they grew up, they grew apart. In the 00s and 10s, Adam accused Leo of putting fame before his family. In 2016, Adam spoke out about his relationship with Leo. "We were once so close. I loved him and I still do," he told MailOnline. He added: "But we've not spoken in a couple of years. The last time I saw Leo was at his birthday party a couple of years ago. "I'd been invited by another friend. Leo was pleased to see me and gave me a hug. "But when I try to call him, my messages go unanswered. He has a whole team around him now and it's impossible to penetrate that wall of hangers-on." He also told the paper: "Leo wants to save the world but he seems more concerned about the environment and climate change than he does about his own brother. It hurts." While Leo got famous, Adam developed a marijuana and cocaine habit, as well as a serious heroin addiction, with this coming to a head in 2008. "I was arrested five or six times for petty theft, shoplifting from supermarkets, trying to support an opiate addiction of half a gram to a gram a day," Adam told the outlet. "Leo and I never had an argument. But he started surrounding himself with people that didn't want me around. He's the biggest star in the world and there's me, messed up on drugs. I was slowly shut out of his world. "Finally I got tired of going in and out of jail. I've been off heroin since 2013," he said. Meghan Markle and her half-sister Samantha Markle 12 Megan and her half sister Samantha Markle have been embroiled in a feud that has been long-running for many years. According to Samantha, she and Meghan were close when they were growing up, although this is not backed by the Duchess. The pair are 17 years apart and did not grow up at the same time. In 2018, Vanity Fair reported that Doria Ragland and Thomas Markle"moved in together a couple of years before Meghan was born, along with Samantha and Thomas junior, who had relocated to L.A. after living with their mum." In Meghan's chat with Oprah in 2021, she declared: "I grew up as an only child, which everyone who grew up around me knows, and I wished I had siblings." Samantha is estranged from Meghan, and the pair have not spoken for more than a decade, since her 'early twenties', it has been claimed. Due to their estrangement, Samantha was not invited to Meghan's wedding to Prince Harry in 2018. Samantha said at the time: "Out of respect and humanitarianism, the Markles should be invited if 2,000 complete strangers are. Our uncle, brother, me, best friend of 30 years, nephews. At issue is not a matter of closeness. Family is family." Nick and Aaron Carter 12 Nick and Aaron Carter grew apart over the years. The pair's bond weakened due to childhood trauma, addiction, and family drama. In 2019, Nick filed a restraining order against Aaron, saying he had made violent threats. Aaron denied this also accusing Nick of abuse. On November 5, 2022, Aaron died at his home in California at the age of 34. His body was found in his bathtub by a housekeeper. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner later ruled that Carter's death was accidental: drowning after inhaling difluoroethane and taking alprazolam (Xanax). He was cremated, and his ashes were left in the care of his twin sister Angel. Julia Roberts and her half-sister Nancy Motes Julia Roberts and her half-sister Nancy Motes had a "tortured" bond before she died by suicide. In 2014, Nancy, who was 37, was found in a bathtub filled with water at a friend's home in Los Angeles, where she had been dog-sitting. LA County Coroner spokesman John Kades said prescription drugs had been found at the residence. She wrote a suicide note blaming Julia for bullying her most of her adult life. In the three-page note, she said: "My so-called siblings get nothing except the memory that they are the ones that drove me into the deepest depression I've been in." Louis Tomlinson and his half-sister Georgia The One Direction star's biological dad left shortly after he was born and became estranged from him. His father later had a daughter called Georgia who became a huge One Direction fan when she was 14. She and Louis' biological dad, Troy, then saw Louis in a One Direction concert when the band were at the height of fame. The siblings failed to reconnect.
