Jamie Lee Curtis shares real reason behind 23-year Freakier Friday delay
Freakier Friday hits cinema next week and Tess Coleman actress Jamie Lee Curtis has set the record straight on why fans had to wait 23 years for the Freaky Friday sequel Jamie Lee Curtis has opened up on the reason behind the 23-year wait for Freakier Friday. The sequel to 2003 Disney classic Freaky Friday hits cinemas on Friday, August 8 and this time it includes a four-way switch. Lindsay Lohan, returning as Anna Coleman, swaps bodies with her daughter, while Jamie ends up switching with her soon-to-be step-granddaughter. The trailers promise that, like the original, lots of screaming ensues and Jamie has opened up on why fans have had to wait over two decades to see her reprise the role of Tess Coleman. Appearing on BBC's The One Show, Jamie told hosts Alex Jones and Clara Amfo the "truth" behind the decision to delay the film. Alex pointed out: "You really pushed for this movie to happen." Jamie agreed: "Yes I did." The presenter continued: "But it had to be at the perfect time in a way. didn't it?" The Hollyoaks star confirmed: "The truth is Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter. "People would ask me about the movie over and over again around the world and I would say 'yeah we'd love to do it, we love each other and we'd have a great time, Lindsay has to be old enough to be a teenager or the movie doesn't work'. "And then finally, I think it was in Australia, someone said 'she is' and I was like 'what do you mean?' because I've know her since she was 15. "She's a young girl. now she's a young mommy, she's this young girl. I don't know how old she is but someone told me and I was like 'oh, we can make a movie. Let's go'. Mark Harmon, Chad Michael Murray, Rosalind Chao, Ryan Malgarini, Christina Vidal Mitchell, Haley Hudson, Stephen Tobolowsky, and Lucille Soong also reprise their respective roles from the original film, with Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons in her feature film debut and Manny Jacinto joining the cast. Jamie went to reveal that Freakier Friday is heading to cinema was due to the success of Barbie. The actress explained: "I may have called all my executives at Disney and said I may have one word for you, Barbie. "Barbie was a great example of how families and all generations will go to the movies together and thats what going to the theatre is all about." The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One at 7pm and Freakier Friday hits cinemas on August 8

Shoppers are going wild for the ‘only bag you need this summer' – it's £6 and you'll be surprised by where it's from
SHOPPERS are going wild and are racing to get their hands on the new bag of the summer. So if you've been using the same beach bag for the last decade and fancy treating yourself, then you've come to the right place. 5 5 5 And don't worry if your wallet is feeling the pinch, as this affordable accessory is only £6 - yes, you heard that correctly. Not only is it purse-friendly and super stylish, but it appears to be inspired by a much more expensive but strikingly similar bag from Crocs. So if the thought of splashing £74.99 on the Crocs Classic Large Tote sends shivers down your spine, then you'll need to check this out. While many of us will often buy our bags from New Look, Primark, River Island or H&M, you're sure to be shocked when you find out where this new accessory is from. Posting on social media, Home Bargains gave shoppers a close-up look at the buy, which has only just landed in stores. According to the chain, this durable and spacious accessory is 'the bag that EVERYONE will ask you about.' The bargain buy, which is £68.99 less than the iconic buy from Crocs, is available in three colours - pink, white and baby blue. It's sure to turn heads when you next go on holiday, but is equally as great for carrying all your stuff when running errands. Alongside the post, Home Bargains beamed: 'New in and only £6.' The much-loved chain then added: 'The only bag you'll need this summer!' The secret Home Bargains aisle shoppers always forget to check - with loads of delicious treats priced from just 59p But you'll need to move quickly if you want to get your hands on this bag, as the short clip was posted on the Home Bargains official Instagram page just 12 hours ago, but it has clearly impressed many as it has quickly racked up 211,000 views and 1,070 likes. Fashion fans were stunned by the 'gorgeous' bag and many claimed they 'needed' it. One person said: 'Ooooh I sense a new viral must have.' Another added: 'That price is fantastic. Would make an ideal beach bag.' Alongside a love heart eye emoji, a third commented: 'Omg!!! Need.' At the same time, one fashionista gushed: 'I want one so bad!!!!' Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. As well as this, one woman beamed: 'I need it! Gorgeous.' Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'How cool. I wonder if you could add Croc charms to this.' To this, one Home Bargains shopper responded and claimed: 'It does fit them, it's the dupe of the Crocs one.'

Barbie designers killed in car crash: ‘Barbie is better because they loved the brand'
Barbie designers Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi were killed in a car crash Sunday with the doll brand writing in a tribute, 'Barbie is better because they loved the brand.' The business and romantic partners died after 82-year-old Egidio Ceriano, driving the wrong way on Italy's A4 Turin-Milan highway, collided head-on with their car in Lombardy, according to Italian news outlet ANSA. Ceriano is accused of driving about four miles in the wrong direction before the crash. Amodio Valerio Giurni, a bank employee, and his wife, Silvia Moramacro, were also in the doll designers' car, according to the Italian outlet. Giurni died and Moramacro was hospitalized. Ceriano, who also died in the crash, had renewed his license two years ago, ANSA reported. In the wake of the crash, Mattel, the maker of Barbie, released a statement on Instagram: "The Barbie team is heartbroken by the loss of Mario Paglino and Gianni Grossi, two treasured creators and Mattel collaborators who brought joy and artistry to the world of Barbie as Magnia2000." Paglino and Grossi's Magina2000 company specialized in custom dolls. Their work earned them the Barbie Best Friend Award from Barbie fashion designer Carol Spencer in 2016, according to the duo's website. The two are known for their celebrity dolls, which included singers Cher and Lady Gaga and actresses Sarah Jessica Parker and Sophia Loren. But the most notable celebrity dolls they created were dedicated to Madonna. After being part of the London 'Simply Madonna' Exhibit in 2009, Paglino and Grossi met the singer in person on 'The Graham Norton Show.' "Their generosity was boundless, creating countless dolls to be auctioned to benefit charities close to fellow collectors' hearts," Mattel's statement read. In 2015, the pair auctioned one of their dolls at the National Barbie Convention for $15,000 for charity. Mattel concluded its statement by writing: 'Barbie is better because they loved the brand, and our beloved collector community is richer for having known them and shared in their passion. Barbie honors their memory with deep gratitude."
