Peter Andre shares striking throwback snap from his heyday as a pop star, with the now 52-year-old rocking a wild haircut
Peter Andre shared a throwback photo from his heyday as a popstar more than 30 years ago to his Instagram on Tuesday. The snap, taken in 1993, showed the singer, now 52, in his early twenties posing for a photo alongside his hairstylist brother Michael Andre. And Peter looked strikingly different all those years ago, with the singer - who at that point hadn't yet released his smash single Mysterious Girl - rocking a particularly wild haircut and a clean-shaven face. Accompanying the photo on his Instagram Stories was Andre's 1993 tune To The Top, which featured on his self-titled debut album released the same year. He captioned the throwback photo: 'My brother Mike and me in 1993'. Peter, from a Greek-Cypriot family, grew up in Australia before first gaining recognition when he featured on the country's talent show New Faces in 1990. He earned a record deal following the series, but it wasn't until five years later that his iconic track, Mysterious Girl, was released. The tune shot to number two on the on the charts, followed by his number one album Natural which dropped a year later. It wasn't until around nine years later however that Peter experienced another increase in popularity when he featured on the 2004 series of ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, where he met Katie Price. The pair struck up a whirlwind romance during their time in the jungle, and tied the knot the following year. Their marriage lasted around four years with the couple splitting in 2009, with it long rumoured that Peter and Katie split over her close relationship with dressage rider Andrew Gould. And just weeks ago Katie, now 47, revealed the truth about the speculation during an appearance on Paul C Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast. 'We broke up because he thought I was having an affair with my dressage rider, and I've never slept with him. I just kept my horse there, and I was happy keeping my horse there, and he was married,' she said. 'But when me and Pete split, because he used to keep saying, "That's it. I've had enough. I've had enough". It got to a point where I went, "Well f***ing divorce me". And I remember the day, because then I flew to the Maldives with the kids. 'That day, I'm at the airport, it's all on Sky News, it wasn't mutual at all. And then I released a statement saying I don't want to split with Pete, it's Pete that's splitting with me. Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it. 'It's all through lawyers. I've never sat down with him, we probably would've sorted it out but we were kept apart.' And Peter later opened up about navigating exes and break ups in his column for Now! Magazine. Addressing Zara McDermott's ex and new boyfriend coming face to face recently, he shared: 'Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson were both at Soccer Aid together for an incredible cause. The fact they've both been involved with Zara McDermott at some point is secondary for me. 'I think people will always try to make a fuss about dramas with exes, but we don't know what happened, and having been part of Soccer Aid in the past, I know people just focus on the game and the cause, everything else is left off the pitch. That's how it should be.' Peter later found love again with Dr Emily MacDonagh, 35, with the couple tying the knot in 2015. They went onto welcome three children, Amelia, 11, Theodore, eight, Arabella, one, while Andre also shares Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, with Katie.

Camila Cabello and billionaire heir boyfriend pack on the PDA in Ibiza
Camila Cabello's romance is heating up. The US pop star, 28, was spotted packing on the PDA with her billionaire heir boyfriend, Henry Junior Chalhoub, in Ibiza, Spain at the weekend. The couple, who have been dating since at least November last year, were seen sharing a passionate kiss on a dock, with Cabello lying on top of Chalhoub. They were also seen in a steamy make-out session during a swim in the ocean. The duo were first photographed in yet another PDA-filled beach outing in St Barts in January. Cabello, who shot to fame in 2012 as part of the pop group Fifth Harmony before forging a solo career, is yet to comment on her blossoming relationship. Chalhoub, 39, for his part, is the heir to his family's lucrative Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group. The company was listed on Forbes' Top 100 Arab Family Businesses list in 2023, with Chalhoub's grandfather Michel reported to be worth $US1.7 billion as of 2019. Cabello and Chalhoub were first romantically linked late last year when they were seen getting cozy at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia. The Latin Grammy award winner's last major romance was with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Canadian pop singer Shawn Mendes. Cabello and Mendes began dating in July 2019 until their split in November 2021. They later sparked reconciliation rumours in April 2023 when they were photographed kissing at the Coachella music festival. However, Cabello sat down with Alex Cooper on the Call Her Daddy podcast in March last year, declaring their reunion 'didn't feel right.' 'I'm kind of impulsive in that way, I would say. If I feel it, I say it and I'm not really good at not doing that,' Cabello said at the time. 'I would rather say it and see what happens, and then wake up the next day and see that it's been heavily documented. I opted for that route. It is what it is. It was a great route, it was a fun time. It was a fun moment. 'I will always care about him and love him. He's such a good person and I'm lucky because some people have exes that are awful, and he is not. He's a really kind, good person.'

Fans shocked as they spot Glastonbury headliner sitting on the street smoking a cigarette – would you have spotted her?
FANS have been left feeling taken aback and shocked after spotting a huge pop star and Glastonbury headliner smoking while in Italy. She was seen sitting on the street smoking a cigarette while holidaying in Sicily - but would you have spotted her? 5 5 5 5 A TikTok page has shared a video of two boys spotting Dua Lipa, 29, on holiday while having a cheeky cigarette. In the video, Dua can be seen sitting on the side of a street wearing a floaty cream frock. Puffing on a cigarette and looking around, Dua looked content and relaxed as she relaxed on holiday. She could be seen laughing with and chatting to who she was on vacation with. Holding her cigarette elegantly, Dua took several puffs from it as she sat in public. Fans were quick to react to the video, with them entirely divided in the comments section on TikTok. One person penned: "How did you stay calm?!...i would scream and run towards her to hug." "She actin nonchalant like she doesn't know she is filmed," added a second. A third said: "And she's just SITTING ON THE SIDEWALK with a glass of wine too! "No boujee fancy private table at the best restaurants… Showbiz's secret celebrity smokers revealed "Ugh I love how she just seems like a chill, normal person unlike a lot of other celebrities at her level of fame." Others slammed her for smoking, with one person writing: "It's really hard to understand why ppl still smoke, so young too!" "Can never respect singers who smoke. No and no," said a second. Dua previously spoke about how she had decided to give up smoking for her Future Nostalgia tour in 2022. Dua Lipa's love life: A history Who has Dua Lipa dated in the past? Isaac Carew Dua dated the British model and chef twice. The started dating in 2015 before splitting up two years later due to scheduling issues. They rekindled their romance in 2018 before splitting for good a year later. Paul Klein After she broke up from Isaac in 2017, she embarked on a new relationship that same year with the musician. They broke up after just five months of dating in 2018. Anwar Hadid One of her most high-profile relationships was with Anwar Hadid, brother of supermodels Gigi and Bella Hadid. Although they quarantined together during the COVID-19 Pandemic they called it quits in 2021 as Dua wanted to focus on being single Jack Harlow In December 2022, it was claimed that both of the music pairing were 'hanging out' together. Although after a few months it seemed that the relationship fizzled out. Romain Gavras The French director was first linked to Dua back in 2023 when they were seen in London leaving the BAFTA Awards afterparty together in February. They later walked the red carpet together at the Cannes Film Festival in May. They were later pictured together over the summer that year in July and August as they celebrated his birthday. She has since deleted mentions of him off of her Instagram. Callum Turner In January 2024, Callum celebrated the release of his Apple TV+ series, Masters of Air. The pair were spotted together at the afterparty of the premiere in Los Angeles. They were then spotted getting close on a number of dates. Insiders since revealed that the duo have travelled together and have met each other's families. The pair then became more public with their relationship before rumours circulated of an engagement over the festive period. The singer appeared to confirm the news on social media, posting a photo with her huge ring in plain sight. Speaking on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the singer revealed wanted her vocal health to be top notch so decided to give up smoking. "I was smoking cigarettes at the time... But I've stopped. I've quit, guys," she said to the host at the time. But by August of the same year, she had seemingly started smoking cigarettes again. Fans cottoned on when she shared a photograph clutching a box of Malboro Gold. And in January of this year, there were a slew of paparazzi photos of Dua with her husband-to-be Callum Turner in Paris, with the pair spotted smoking and cuddling by the Eiffel Tower. 5

The Sabrina Carpenter You Don't Know
Sabrina Carpenter is as good as any current pop star at cultivating controversy and attention — the latest evidence was the now-subsided furor over her absurd Man's Best Friend album cover, which seems to take cues from Spinal Tap's Smell the Glove. 'She's leaning into it and laughing about it at the same time,' says Angie Martoccio, who profiled Carpenter for her recent Rolling Stone cover story — which revealed that image aside, the singer's true obsession is music. More from Rolling Stone Sabrina Carpenter Celebrates the 'Special Moments' That Followed 'Emails I Can't Send' Watch Sabrina Carpenter Perform 'Hungry Like the Wolf' With Duran Duran at BST Hyde Park Louis Partridge Celebrates Girlfriend Olivia Rodrigo's Glastonbury Set: 'She Worked Her Ass Off' 'I wasn't aware that she was a full-on music nerd,' Martoccio says in the latest episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, which takes a deep look at Carpenter's career so far and previews her next album, Man's Best Friend, out Aug. 29. (To hear the whole episode, go here for the podcast provider of your choice, listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or just press play above.) 'She's obsessed with the Seventies and spends her off-time watching Saturday Night Fever and really studying the discographies of her favorite artists,' Martoccio adds. Carpenter's ABBA fandom runs so deep she's named her cats Benny and Björn, attended the ABBA Voyage show multiple times (taking wardrobe inspiration from it), and scored a personal museum tour from Björn Ulvaeus himself. The episode digs into just how far Carpenter has come from the moment when she seemed in danger of being seen as just 'the blonde girl' from Olivia Rodrigo's 'Driver's License.' The publicity around the two artists' teenage love triangle seemed to send Carpenter into artistic overdrive: She wrote great songs inspired by it all — 'Skin' and 'Because I Liked a Boy' — as she began the work of redefining herself on her own terms with 2022's E-Mails I Didn't Send. When Martoccio asked if Carpenter ever thinks about that period now, she got a Don Draper-worthy response: 'I don't think about it at all.' Later, Carpenter was spotted watching Rodrigo's Glastonbury set from the wings. Martoccio's interview also touched on Carpenter's relationship with the world's scrutiny. The artist admits to reading everything written about her online — from body-shaming comments to criticism of her show's sexual content — to the point where she's 'numb' to much of it. Her feelings about being picked apart ended up on the vinyl-only 'Needless to Say,' a song she told Martoccio is close to her heart.
