IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Walton Goggins swears there is ‘no feud' with Aimee Lou Wood
Speculation began to circulate online after The White Lotus co-stars - who played Rick and Chelsea on the show, unfollowed each other on Instagram after the season three finale aired in April. But in a joint interview published by Variety on Wednesday, Goggins insisted there's never been a rift between himself and the English actress. 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be...."

Former Baywatch and Playboy star, 55, rocks different image 36 years after finding fame on hit series
She shot to fame in the 90s as a Playboy cover star and Baywatch pin-up. More than three decades on, actress and model Erika Eleniak, now 55, looks very different with two tattoo sleeves. Erika was pictured walking her pet dog in Los Angeles in a black T-shirt and shorts, with a fanny pack around her waist. She looked to be makeup-free on a sunny day in California as she strolled in a pair of slides. Best known for her role as lifeguard Shauni McClain, Erika is still quizzed about her time on set to this day. Last year, she admitted playing a beach beauty, famed for her red swimsuit, was much harder than she was given credit for. 'Running on sand is really hard,' she told UPI. 'Running in and out of the water is really hard. 'It doesn't always look cool, either, so trying to make it look good and do it well is definitely not easy. I don't think anybody ever thought any of it was hard.' Not only did the cast need to look good and be super fit, they also needed to learn emergency first aid skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. While Baywatch is now most famously linked to Pamela Anderson as C.J. Parker in the mid-'90s, original beach babe Erika still has a cult following. She previously told Media From the Heart that her decision to leave the show came organically after it changed direction. 'Originally, this was written as a serious look at lifeguarding. As soon as it changed and became a music montage show, it was so lovely, but for me, it was time to go,' she explained. 'I will say I had really strong storylines the second year, which was great. 'And I did get some juicy parts, but the show became something else. So for me, it was no longer where my heart was.' Immediately after her exit from Baywatch in 1992, she starred in action flick Under Siege, alongside Steven Seagal. Breaking out in the way Pamela Anderson famously wanted to with her 90s flop Barbed Wire, Erika played fictional Playboy star Jordan Tate, who helped bring a hijacked battleship under control. Feature films The Beverly Hillbillies and Chasers followed, before she became a fixture on reality TV with shows The Real Gilligan's Island and Celebrity Fit Club. The twice married mum-of-one struggled with an eating disorder and abused laxatives before going on the VH1 show. Thankfully, she has overcome her issues and also shed her clean cut image for a more alternative look. Though Erika began getting tattoos in the '90s, her colourful arm inkings were only completed in the last few years. She explained: 'Most of my sleeve work is probably within five years. It's been a work in progress over the years of starting and stopping, so not really consecutive.'

Glastonbury 2025's biggest moments, from Kneecap to Doctor Who
Music festivals don't get much bigger or more legendary than Glastonbury. The annual festival has been going for more than 50 years and just about every high-profile musician worth talking about has played its stages. With a crowd of more than 200,000 taking in more than 3,000 performances spread across 100 stages, there's always a lot to see and even more to talk about. And while it might take place on a humble farm in south-west England, its biggest moments capture the attention of music lovers around the world. Here are the big talking points from 2025. When Lewis Capaldi played Glastonbury in 2023, he made global headlines for reasons he'd prefer not to. Struggling to get through his performance, he needed the help of his enormous crowd to soldier on. Following the show, he wrote a note to his fans explaining what had happened and announcing a break from performing live. "It became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come," he wrote in a note after the show. He hasn't played a proper gig since, which made it an extra special moment when he popped up at the festival with a secret performance on the Pyramid Stage on the opening day of festivities. "It's just a short set today but I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn't finish first time around on this stage," he told the elated crowd. Capaldi debuted a new song called 'Survive' in his set, and closed with 'Someone You Loved', the song that brought him undone on the same stage two years earlier. On the day her new album, Virgin, was released, New Zealand pop icon Lorde popped into the festival's Woodsies Stage to show it off to an adoring crowd. Her set list was simply comprised of her new album in full, before airing earlier tracks 'Ribs' and 'Green Light' as an encore for those who stuck around. Also fresh from a new album release are Los Angeles siblings HAIM, who appeared unannounced on the festival's Park Stage on Saturday night. They were a little more generous in their song selections, offering just four from their new LP, I Quit, among a bevy of their beloved indie hits from across their four albums to date. Britpop wonders Pulp have a long history with Glastonbury. Their headline set in 1995 (where they replaced The Stone Roses who cancelled due to injury) saw them cement their place as one of the genre's leading acts. They played a legendary secret set at Glastonbury's Park Stage back in 2011, not long after they'd emerged from a lengthy hiatus, and history repeated somewhat this year: the band are once again back from a long absence, and they once again play the festival as a poorly kept secret. Their aired only two songs from their new album, treating the audience to a stack of indie classics like 'Do You Remember the First Time?', 'Disco 2000', and 'Common People'. Glastonbury's annual 'legends' set was filled by the iconic Rod Stewart this year. The set list was packed with all the classics, but the guest list was even more memorable. Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall belted out 'If You Don't Know Me by Now', Rod's old Faces band mate Ronnie Wood then emerged for a version of their 1971 classic 'Stay With Me', before the inimitable Lulu dropped by to help him get through 1977 hit 'Hot Legs'. The Cure frontman Robert Smith tends to pop up in some unexpected places, the latest of which was on stage with pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo as she played her headline set on the Sunday night. Perhaps it was a tacit endorsement for Rodrigo from a pre-eminent God of gloom, or perhaps a grab at credibility from one of pop's finest current artists looking to shirk her former Disney credentials. Doesn't really matter why it happened: they treated the crowd to Cure classics 'Friday I'm in Love' and 'Just Like Heaven', so no-one was complaining. It wasn't just musicians getting in on the fun, as some esteemed British actors also made some cameos. Music festivals and Doctor Who may not seem like a common combination but, given Glastonbury is as iconic and British as the show is, some crossover makes sense. Peter Capaldi dropped by to join Franz Ferdinand on their mega-hit 'Take Me Out', while Little Mix member JADE pulled in Ncuti Gatwa to give an impassioned introduction to her set. Even Sir Ian McKellen was there, reprising his role on Scissor Sisters' 2010 track 'Invisible Light' at their set, which also featured appearances from singers Jessie Ware and Beth Ditto. A major trend of this year's Glastonbury saw multiple artists using their platform to voice solidarity for Palestine and condemn Israel. A host of Palestinian flags could be seen in the crowd across the weekend, while the likes of Irish pop-country star CMAT, reunited rockers The Libertines and singer-songwriter Nadine Shah addressed the conflict in their performances. British authorities are investigating performances by Irish rap trio Kneecap and British grime-punk duo Bob Vylan for leading their audiences in controversial pro-Palestine chants. Kneecap's Glastonbury billing was deemed "not appropriate" by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the lead-up to the festival, on the basis of member Mo Chara facing a terrorism charge. In response, Kneecap told the Sunday afternoon crowd: "The prime minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play," before stoking chants of "F*** Keir Starmer". After leading the crowd in a chant of "Free Mo Chara", fellow MC Móglaí Bap also told the crowd: "Mo Chara's in court [this month] for a trumped-up terrorism charge. It's not the first time there was a miscarriage of justice for an Irish person in the British justice system." He concluded: "We've said it before, the story isn't about us. It's about the genocide happening in Palestine. Free, free Palestine." A live stream of Kneecap's set reportedly pulled more than 1 million viewers on TikTok, after the BBC chose not to include it in its live broadcast of Glastonbury. However, the BBC still came under scrutiny for not pre-empting the views expressed by Bob Vylan. The duo's vocalist, Bobby Vylan, encouraged a chant of "free, free Palestine" and "death, death to the IDF", referring to the Israeli Defence Force, during the group's Sunday set. Starmer condemned the performance as "appalling hate speech" while Bob Vylan, who have American tour dates scheduled later this year, have had their US visas revoked by the Trump administration for their "hateful tirade". Amyl & The Sniffers, one of a handful of Glastonbury acts representing Australia (alongside Royel Otis, Glass Beams, Parcels, and more), defended the actions of Bob Vylan and Kneecap. "The British media in a frenzy about Bob Vylan and Kneecap but artists all weekend at Glastonbury — from pop to rock to rap to punk to DJs — spoke up onstage," read a statement from the Melbourne pub-punk band, who are opening AC/DC's first Australian shows in a decade later this year. It echoes similar sentiments shared by frontwoman Amy Taylor, who took "the time to say something political" in front of a huge turn-out for the band's Glastonbury set on Saturday. "I'm thinking about the people in Palestine. We're from Australia, we ain't doing jack shit. I know yours aren't doing jack shit," she told the crowd. "They want us to shut the f*** up because, if we think about Palestine then, back home in Australia, we think about the Indigenous people there. And we think about the fact that us, as whiteys, we're the f***ing colonisers, and that's disgusting. "That's the truth and I thought I'd share that today. It was gonna be something way more poetic, but that's just what I said and it's not perfect, but I think it's better to say anything than to say nothing at all right now."

Exact moment Prince Harry ‘blew' relationship with Queen
Prince Harry allegedly 'blew' his relationship with Queen Elizabeth II shortly before his 2018 wedding to Meghan Markle. The monarch, who died in 2022 at age 96, felt 'left out' of the Duke of Sussex's wedding plans, according to royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith. Smith told her Substack readers on Monday that the former military pilot, 40, was 'rude to [Elizabeth] for 10 minutes' in a February 2018 meeting about the nuptials, leaving the queen 'very worried' about the 'besotted and weak' groom. 'The Queen was dismayed that Harry had asked the Archbishop of Canterbury to perform the wedding service in St. George's Chapel without first requesting permission from the Dean of Windsor,' Smith wrote. Elizabeth was additionally aggrieved that Markle, 43, would not reveal her wedding dress details prior to walking down the aisle, Smith claimed. She also wrote that Elizabeth was bothered by 'Meghan and [Prince] William and Kate [Middleton] not working well together' leading up to the ceremony. Smith reportedly received her intel via a phone call from Elizabeth's late cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, ahead of her 2020 death. 'We hope but don't quite think she is in love,' Anson told Smith in the February 2019 conversation. 'We think she engineered it all.' At the time, Anson claimed that Elizabeth said the 'jury was still out' on whether she liked Markle. As for her relationship with Harry, Elizabeth and her grandson reportedly 'patched things up' in April 2018. Harry's rep has yet to respond to Page Six's request for comment. He and the Suits star tied the knot in May 2018 — and reports continue to circulate about tensions leading up to the big day. In May, biographer Katie Nicholl alleged in The New Royals that Markle 'berated' her wedding caterer so badly over a dish that wasn't vegan or macrobiotic that Elizabeth stepped in. The queen reportedly said, 'Meghan, in this family we don't speak to people like that.' Harry hit back at negative reports about his wife over the weekend, saying at the 2025 Nexus Global Summit that she was the 'most trolled person in the world' in 2018. The couple notably left England in 2020, moved to the United States and quit their royal roles. They now live in a Montecito, California, mansion with son Archie, 6, and daughter Lilibet, 4. While the little ones primarily stay out of the spotlight, Markle has shared more frequent photos of them since rejoining Instagram in January.
