Nicki didn’t hold back Rapper Nicki Minaj had a lot to say about pretty much everyone last week, following the release of her new album Queen . After calling out her ex-boyfriend, Safaree Samuels, for allegedly buying prostitutes and his surgically enhanced hairline, Nicki, 35, had a bone to pick with Kylie Jenner’s man Travis Scott, after his album, Astroworld, ranked No.1 but hers didn’t. The star tweeted, ‘I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. Lol.’ She later seemed to compare herself to activist Harriet Tubman – famous for leading escaped slaves to freedom in the Underground Railroad. Nicki, you OK, hun?…

Rarely does a TOWIE regular become an LA star, but it seems Mark Wright is the exception to the rule. And Now can exclusively reveal that – having watched Mark’s career sky-rocket since he started presenting celebrity show Extra in Hollywood – his sister, Jess Wright, wants a taste of his success and is considering a drastic career change of her own. The 32-year-old told Now, ‘I’ve been auditioning for musicals. The dream would be to play Roxie Hart in Chicago.’ Let’s be honest, it can’t be easy watching your younger brother rub shoulders with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Tom Cruise – especially when just five years ago he was being paid £50 a day to argue with his ex on telly. Remember those dramas? And it’s Mark’s…

Need a lift, Kim? WHEN: 18 AUGUST WHERE: MIAMI It seems as though some things are just too much of a struggle for Kim Kardashian – and getting out of her car is one of them. The 37-year-old needed a pick-me-up from husband Kanye West, 41, as she appeared to struggle to bend in her skintight neon dress when they stopped on their way to a wedding. And, while Kim’s high-maintenance behaviour isn’t too out of the ordinary, Kanye’s baby shoes most definitely are. We think he might have grabbed North’s sliders by mistake. Well, we hope he did anyway! When Mummy and Daddy have far too much money… WHEN: 19 AUGUST WHERE: LONDON It looks like life really is a dream when your parents are David and Victoria Beckham.…

Liam and Rita cuddle up WHEN: 19 AUGUST WHERE: NEW YORK Just last week Liam Payne looked seriously loved up with model Cairo Dwek. But it seems he just can’t keep his hands to himself, as Liam, 24, was spotted getting cosy with none other than Rita Ora. The pair were seen enjoying Bebe Rexha’s VMA concert, while Liam had his arm draped around the 27-year-old’s shoulders as the pair reportedly had a little dance. And, after their intimate VMAs performance together the following night, we’ll just be watching this space very closely! Niall and Hailee go public WHEN: 15 AUGUST WHERE: LOS ANGELES After months of speculation, Niall Horan has finally confirmed his relationship with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld. Niall, 24, and Hailee, 21, packed on the PDA…

When it comes to moving on from her failed relationships, Katie Price isn’t one to waste time. Just weeks after splitting from her third husband, Kieran Hayler, 31, the mum-of-five was spotted with a new man, 29-year-old fitness instructor, Kris Boyson. And things seem to have moved fast, with Kris having met Katie’s kids. It’s common knowledge that Katie, 40, doesn’t do being single. ‘I normally know when a relationship is going to end,’ Katie says. ‘But most of the time, I’ve usually got someone on the back burner, so then I’m not on my own.’ Here, Rachel Storey and Emily Lavinia explain why, like Katie, they’re always in relationshipsÉ ‘I love giving out affection’  Emily Lavinia, 28, is a fashion technology worker from Fitzrovia, West London. Emily, who split…

Hi, darlings! Could Dan Osborne be ruining his chance of reconciliation with Jacqueline Jossa by going on Celebrity Big Br other ? He made it clear on night one he was single. He had an opportunity to say , ‘I’m married, we’re not together right now, but I want to work it out.’ But I don’t think his decision to do the show reflects on Jac. You can’t blame him for wanting provide for his kids. I just hope if he realises he wants to get back with Jac, he hasn’t ruined his chances doing something silly. Dear Nadia, My new hot intern is dropping hints that he likes me more than just being his boss. I’m interested but need to keep it professional. How should I…

She received huge amounts of praise last year when she shared a hilariously frank video showing off her cellulite, saggy boobs and love handles. But, since she joined the Loose Women panel in 2016, Stacey Solomon just can’t resist telling everyone how much of a ‘real’ woman she is. And, it’s clear that some people are sick and tired of the Essex lady speaking about her ‘normal’ body and her very personal confessions. ‘Desperate’ screamed one fan, while another branded her a ‘fool’ and someone else added that she was ‘cheap and common’, as her over-sharing continues. In the past 12 months alone, there has been no shortage of revelations from Stacey, with the 27-year-old frequently posting unflattering snaps, and even intimate details about her pubic hair. Seems nothing is…

‘Dani’s done film – she’s talented’ Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham stole the nation’s hearts on Love Island this year, but thanks to their popularity, it’s unlikely that their success will be stopping there. With Dani’s dad, EastEnders actor Danny Dyer, already being a household name and Dani and Jack winning the show with a whopping 80% of the public vote, the Dyer family are set to give the Kardashians a run for their money, as TV producers are begging them to star in their own reality series! ‘We want a Dyers reality TV TV show!’ Dani’s mum, Jo Mas, recently revealed, ‘We’ve been offered a reality show. ‘We’ve always joked about it. People do say we need a reality show in our house because there’s always a drama.’ While…

Rosie Williams has barely had a moment to herself since she came out of the Love Island villa. When we call her for a catch-up, she’s in Cyprus and tells us, ‘I’m dotted around everywhere at the moment.’ But top of her to-do list is Strictly Come Dancing, which has got a lot of stick this year for failing to sign any big names. ‘I’d love to do it,’ she confesses. ‘They should take on more reality stars. If they signed someone like myself, they’d get more young viewers.’ Solicitor Rosie is currently working with Unify, an app which connects new university students. ‘I remember how nerve-wracking my first day of uni was and Unify is a great platform,’ she says. Rosie, 26, also has her eye on being the…

‘Surgery was fast becoming my hobby’ Ask most women to name a body part they’d love to change and they’d probably reel you off a list. And when it comes to beauty, who better to take inspiration from than celebrities? Kim Kardashian’s bum is admired by millions and Angelina Jolie was voted as the most beautiful woman in the world. So it’s no surprise that her plump, pillow lips are coveted by many women. Mary Magdalene, 24, is one of those women, and she’s gone on to have more than 12 cosmetic procedures... ‘I was 14 when I first knew I wanted cosmetic surgery. As a teenager, my chest was almost flat. While all the other girls in my class were developing curves, I’d hide my figure under baggy school…

Broke Katie Price has gone to extreme measures to save herself from financial ruin, as she appears to be moving in with her boyfriend Kris Boyson. Last week, Katie, 40, was pictured lugging giant bags out of her familiar pink Range Rover and into Kris’ house in Kent while her own Sussex mansion is thought to be in a state of disrepair. Katie had her youngest daughter, four-year-old Bunny with her, with Kris, 29, helping her out of the car while Katie carried her bags into his house. The move comes after the former model’s extensive debt was revealed. The mum-of-five, who has been dating personal trainer Kris for just three months, has racked up debts of almost £500,000, nearly half of which is owed to HM Revenue & Customs…

She’s one of the most photographed celebrities on the circuit, but Our Girl actress Michelle Keegan proved she’s as down to earth as us normal folk by showing the before and after shots from a recent photo shoot. Laughing at the tired photo of herself, bare-faced and unairbrushed, Michelle, 31, posted the raw images on Instagram. ‘It’s good to see celebs like Michelle act responsibly by being aware of their influence as role models to thousands of young women,’ comments author and behavioural expert, Judi James. ‘So many fans develop self-esteem issues that can be prompted by the idea that the airbrushed or Photoshopped image is the real deal, setting a false reality where anyone who is less than perfect is somehow unnatural.’ Judi goes on to say, ‘Michelle might…

1 Have a cuddle Oxytocin is a calming, feel-good hormone released when we feel love, comfort and trust. So whether you feel affection from your man or your pug – give them a big hug when you get home. 2 Smile As bizarre as it sounds, smiling at yourself in the mirror can trick the brain into releasing soothing chemicals. If this isn’t something you’re so keen on trying, smiling at others and having them smile back has the same effect. 3 Ditch the buzz If you’re powering through your stressful day with sugar, caffeine or even alcohol – stop right now (thank you very much). These may give you highs, but they’re also followed by lows. Choose water and herbal teas to stay hydrated and calm. 4 Connect with…

Breakfast 350 cals Smoked salmon with avocado ASHTON SAYS: Salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids and is a great source of protein. Just be aware that this is a high-fat breakfast, so portion control is key so as not to overdo the calories. Lunch 350 cals Goat’s cheese salad ASHTON SAYS: Goat’s cheese is high in calcium but easier to digest than cheese from cows, so it’s often a good choice for those with dairy issues. Dinner 550 cals Salmon with sweet potato and green veg ASHTON SAYS: A well-balanced dinner. Always try to get as much green veg in during the day. Snacks 120 cals Chocolate rice cakes ASHTON SAYS: A great little snack and if you love chocolate (like me) then they’re a good way to get…

Steven is starring alongside Aussie actress Toni Collette in BBC1’s Wanderlust . Full of angst and humour, the six-parter follows the many problems of married couple Joy and Alan who can’t seem to connect sexually. Here, Steven tells why this is a groundbreaking drama, and about the sex scenes… Wanderlust is so eventful and controversial but has no heroes and villains. Did that make for a more interesting performance for you? That’s absolutely right. This is an ordinary household, with a loving couple that love each other. They are just grappling with where they go from there. It’s on BBC1 but there does seem to be a lot of freedom as to what’s explored… Everything felt very fresh and the writing for Wanderlust is utterly brilliant. My wife saw it…

I’m happy with my lips! There’s been a lot of talk about my lips this week. They’re just lips! I agree that they look horrendous in some of the pap pictures of me, but hey-ho. I’m used to it now. I agree I can look a mess in pics, but it’s not always like that. I have good weeks with really nice pap pics and then the next week looks like I’ve gone wild! Whatevs. Anyway I’m just a girl having fun. My lips aren’t even big, they’re in proportion to my face. Different day, same s**t! If I like my lips that’s all that matters. I don’t bitch and be mean about other people’s looks. I had such a good weekend at Lokkum Friday night where I saw Jack…

The status of Dan Osborne’s marriage to Jacqueline Jossa is still up in the air right now, with the ex- TOWIE hunk recently declaring he’s single. And now he’s spending time with Gabby Allen while they’re in the CBB house, following previous rumours they were romantically linked. Judi gives us her verdict. ARROGANTLY SPLAYED It was poses like this that got tongues in the house wagging. Dan is almost arrogantly splayed here with one elbow touching Gabby. Gabby’s torso is angled away from Dan, with her knees lifted and clamped together, also pointed away from him. OPPORTUNISTIC? Dan chats about Gabby’s shoulder problem before offering to give her a massage. Was this an opportunistic move? His raised brows created a pleading eye expression and he even held his splayed hand…

Ari’s Grande ambitions  They shocked fans when Pete Davidson proposed to Ariana Grande just one month after dating – and she said yes! And now the singer is going against the grain once again by deciding not to take her comedian fiancé’s last name when they tie the knot. Speaking in a recent interview, Ariana revealed, ‘I have to keep Grande because of my grandpa. I think of him with everything I do in it and he was so proud of our name, I should keep it.’ So instead of swapping Grande for Davidson, Ariana – who was pictured packing on the PDA with her man at last week’s VMAs – will keep both and go by Grande-Davidson. Not that it will matter anyway as the 25-year-old plans to ditch…

Jesy Nelson We must have missed the invite to the fancy dress party because the Little Mix star looks trapped in the 90s with this co-ord. Jesy, we’re begging please don’t wear this... no more! Blake Lively Just when we thought the actress could do no wrong she stepped out in this oversized tartan suit. Either she’s…

Davina McCall After a break-up, people tend to go one of two ways – eating their feelings or sweating them out. And, it’s safe to say Davina McCall did the latter after splitting from her husband of 17 years, Matthew Robertson, in November. And she’s carved herself a fine set of abs in the process! Don’t get us wrong, it’s not like the TV presenter wasn’t into fitness prior to the split – (how could you forget the 15 fitness DVDs she’s released) – but she’s upped her game and is now in the best shape of her life at the age of 50. Go on, Davina! Kim Kardashian The US reality star is looking smokin’ hot right now – just 12 months after those unflattering…

‘It wouldn’t bother me at all!’ Now relationship columnist and Celebs Go Dating matchmaker Nadia Essex, 36, says, ‘I would definitely work with an ex, because when I’m done with them, I’m done with them. It wouldn’t bother me at all – I would just make sure that I maintained a professional relationship when working together. Ultimately, I have good relationships with all my exes, so I don’t think it would be that awkward if we had to see each other in the work place. I don’t speak with them now, but if we met up there wouldn’t really be an issue, especially not in a workplace. Work is work, after all. I’m not sure I would be able to work under them though.…

Squeeze we all need What’s the secret to sizzling super orgasms? It all starts inside, apparently. ‘The Mula Bandha move is a fast-track to better sex,’ promises yoga guru Sarah Drai (yogi2me.com). ‘It tones the pelvic floor, which improves orgasm intensity.
