Ringo Starr wishes Sam Mendes "peace and love" while shooting 4 movies simultaneously
Nobody could argue that sentiment. Starr did, however, push back a bit on Mendes when they met in London this past April and went over the script for the Ringo film, the NYT reports. Starr revealed he gave notes on the depiction of his relationship with his first wife, Maureen Starkey Tigrett. Mendes 'had a writer—very good writer, great reputation, and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I,' Starr shared. 'That's not how we were. I'd say, 'We would never do that.''
We know the writers on board for this ambitious project: Jack Throne (Enola Holmes, Adolescence), Jez Butterworth (Ford V Ferrari, Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny), and Peter Straughan (Conclave, Wolf Hall). We don't, however, know which writer is working on which movie. Straughan once let slip that he was writing the George Harrison script and was 'firewalled' from the other writers. Given that only three writers were announced, we've previously speculated that maybe Mendes himself is tackling one of the scripts. Based on Starr's comment and by process of elimination, we can guess that Thorne or Butterworth is writing the Ringo movie. In November Starr said he'd heard Keoghan was 'taking drum lessons' to lead the film, which will also feature Paul Mescal as McCartney, Harris Dickinson as Lennon, and Joseph Quinn as Harrison.

Pippa Middleton's Wimbledon Barbie dress just became the style of summer 2025
Wimbledon 2025 is well underway, and we have loved every minute so far - from the nail-biting action to, of course, the elegant outfits the spectators have been rocking. Although we haven't seen Wimbledon regular, Pippa Middleton, just yet, we are on the lookout, as the sister of the Princess of Wales never fails to turn up at the world's most famous tennis tournament. In the meantime, though, we are still musing over this amazing fashion throwback the mother-of-three donned last year. The brunette beauty famously teamed up with her sister Kate in 2024 to watch the Men's final. Pippa, who is married to James Matthews, totally coordinated with her big sis, rocking a stunning frilled blush pink creation by Beulah London, which went magnificently with Kate's purple Safiyaa dress. Pippa's dress featured three summer essentials - florals, ruffles, and a waist-defining bow. A simply glorious choice. It ensured she stood out on Centre Court and we have been thinking of it ever since. It was great to see Pippa sit alongside her sister last year, as it was Kate's second public appearance in 2024 since the royal revealed she had been receiving treatment for cancer. Pippa was right by Kate's side as the spectators movingly gave the princess a standing ovation as she entered the atrium, alongside her niece, Princess Charlotte. Pippa's dress was designed in a dazzling rosy pink that had a subtle 'Barbiecore' vibe to it. Although everyone has been wearing butter yellow this summer, pale pink is slowly taking over from the sunshine shade, having been seen all over the catwalks this season. What's more, Pippa's dress had a very special meaning attached to it - it was the same frock she wore to her little brother, James' wedding to Alizée Thevenet in 2021. We have no doubt that the style brings back wonderful memories to Pippa each time she wears it. Beulah London was founded by Natasha Rufus Isaacs and Lavinia Brennan in 2010. The famously sustainable fashion brand is loved not only by the Middleton sisters but also by Princess Beatrice, too.

Classic Rock Legend, 88, Makes Rare Appearance With Iconic 60s 'It Girl', 75
Classic Rock Legend, 88, Makes Rare Appearance With Iconic 60s 'It Girl', 75 originally appeared on Parade. Classic rock legend Bill Wyman was recently photographed in a rare appearance alongside the iconic 60s supermodel and 'It Girl' Twiggy at a VIP screening of her upcoming documentary in London on July 3. The Rolling Stones bassist, 88, looked to be in great spirits as he posed with the former model, 75, as well as his wife, Suzanne Wyman, and Twiggy's husband, Leigh Lawson, at the Twiggy screening, which was held at The Cinema at Selfridges. Wyman was last seen at an awards ceremony for a photography event back in January, but before that, the musician was keeping an even lower profile than he has so far this year. He was only seen out publicly once in 2024, when he made an appearance at the Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical press night in February of that year. Prior to that, he was last seen stepping out for the world premiere of The Great Escaper at the BFI Southbank in London in September 2023. Needless to say, the rock star doesn't make too many appearances these days. For her part, Twiggy — whose real name is DameLesley Lawson — was last seen at the Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet press night recently alongside another classic rock icon: none other than Pete Townshend, the legendary guitarist for The Who. They were also photographed alongside Sadie Frost, director of Twiggy, who attended the event as well. The Rolling Stones were formed in London in 1962. Though Wyman wasn't in their initial lineup, he is still the band's first official bassist. They initially formed without one — though founding member Dick Taylor would switch from guitar to bass often — with several guitarists in the group, and then auditioned for a bass player in late 1962. Wyman was asked to join the band then, and he stayed with the group until his 1993 departure. Classic Rock Legend, 88, Makes Rare Appearance With Iconic 60s 'It Girl', 75 first appeared on Parade on Jul 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 4, 2025, where it first appeared.
