Hollywood star SLAMMED for 'sick' comments over Stephen Colbert getting cancelled
Sandra Oh 's strong words against CBS & Paramount raised eyebrows, in the wake of their cancelation of The Late Show hosted by Stephen Colbert. The Killing Eve actress, 54, garnered controversy after making a number of strong comments on Tuesday's edition of the late night series on the network. The Canadian-American star expressed her anger and frustration with Colbert's cancellation this month, after a stellar 10-season run. 'Like probably everyone here and everyone who is so supportive outside wants to say that I am so sorry and saddened and properly outraged for the cancellation of late-night here,' the Emmy-winning actress said. Oh, a two-time Golden Globe winner, said that the decision made on the corporate level - which many say had political undertones - was a game-changer for standards in the U.S. amid President Donald Trump 's second term. 'Not only for yourself and for this entire family who are here, but for what it means, of what it means where we are in our culture and what it means for free speech,' Oh said. Oh, who played Dr. Cristina Yang on ABC's Grey's Anatomy from 2005 until 2014, made strong wishes against the companies that were behind the controversial move. 'So I just want to say, sorry, and also if I can have your hand,' she told the host, 'to CBS and Paramount - a plague on both of your houses.' Colbert said he was 'very grateful' as he wagged his finger, adding, 'I think they've been great partners.' Oh, who portrayed the role of Eve Polastri on the drama Killing Eve, garnered a number of strong responses via social media following the appearance - with some people saying she took things too far. Tony Dokoupil of CBS Mornings said Oh had things pegged wrong in blaming Colbert's show ending on politics, amid a changing economic landscape in late night TV. 'The business is broken,' Dokoupil said. 'And what no one seems to acknowledge is that the politics also changed. 'The business changed and so did the politics, and it got way more one-sided than anything Johnny Carson was ever doing.' (Carson, who died in 2005, famously was one to steer clear of going too far left or right so as not to put off a chunk of his audience.) Dokoupil added, 'I think we should reflect on those changes as well - it's been a big shift culturally in that regard also.' Others applauded her support for the embattled Colbert. Said one user: 'sandra oh wishing a plague on cbs and paramount on steven colbert's show she's everything.' Another added, 'I'm screamingggg she's too funny.'

At 38, I almost gave up on love — until I met a local love in the Caribbean
Welcome to How I Do It, the series in which we give you a seven-day sneak peek into the sex life of a stranger. This week we're talking to Carla*, 38, who is straight and lives in London. After almost giving up on love, a chance encounter while on holiday in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) led to romance. Carla was sunbathing on the beach when local tour guide Daniel*, 38, offered to show her around. The chemistry was instant and a one-night-stand led to something more. Now the pair are embarking on a long-distance relationship, with Carla flying out to the Carribbean every few months. She tells Metro: 'It was so unexpected. I haven't been in a long-term relationship since my early-30s, and I was pretty much resigning myself to the fact that I'd be single forever. 'But from day one, we both knew this wasn't just a holiday fling. When I came back home, we were FaceTiming every single day, and we naturally fell into a relationship. 'I was nervous about telling people as it's all a bit cliche – a white woman and a man from the Carribbean – but people have been supportive.' So, without further ado, here's how Carla* got on this week. X Factor icon Diana Vickers and Metro's dating expert Alice Giddings dive into your wildest sex, love, and dating dilemmas – every Tuesday. Listen wherever you get your podcasts or watch on YouTube. And be sure to follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode. You can also join the fun on our WhatsApp Group Chat here – share your dilemmas and Diana and Alice may just give you a call. Financially, Daniel can't afford to come to the UK – but to be honest, I'm more than happy to visit him in the BVI, it's paradise. I do all the body admin before I leave: pedicure, manicure, eyelash lift, and I get a full body wax – facial hair, armpits, full Hollywood and thighs. I've probably spent about £250 before I've even left. Daniel picks me up from the airport armed with food – he knows I'll be hungry, but also it means I can eat in the go, so we can have sex as soon as we get to his. We rip each other's clothes off and do it in missionary, which is our go to position. It was quick – which it always is the first time we see each other. I notice that Daniel hasn't bothered to do any manscaping down there, and I roll my eyes thinking about the effort us women always put in. After a break, who do it again. We start with missionary, but Daniel loves doggy. He's massive though, so we have to build up to it. Daniel's taken the day off so we can spend time together. We wake up, and before saying a word to each other, we're having sex. Later, he asks if I want to go for a walk 'somewhere private.' He knows I like having sex outdoors, and even though he finds it's a little nerve-wracking, he's willing to indulge my fantasy. We go to a secluded beach, and have sex in the sea. I feel like I'm way more flexible in the water – I can bend in ways I never knew I could! We come home and have sex a few more times. The sex is quite loving now, where as the first few times are a bit more feral. We wake up and have sex again in the morning. I'm realising I much prefer sex first thing – I get too sleepy at bedtime. We're doing it so often but I don't feel sore down there, as I'm always so turned on by him. Daniel drops me off at the beach while he's at work. Sometimes I can be here from 9am to 5pm – I while away the time reading or scrolling on Instagram. It isn't until Daniel picksme up though that I realise I'm terribly sunburnt. I'm literally red raw across my chest, belly and legs. He gets a cold flannel to soothe my skin, but it' was's drying out within a few seconds because my skin is so hot. He quite rightly suggests we shouldn't have sex so as not to irritate my skin anymore. As we fall asleep, I think about how lucky I am. It might sound like the bear minimum, but just a few months ago I couldn't imagine that there was actually a kind, thoughtful man out there who would want to take care of me like this. Daniel takes me to a different beach this morning – before he leaves, he insists I sit under an umbrella all day. My skin is blistering now which once again is putting a stop to any sex. That evening, I think about offering to give him a blow job, but I'm too lazy. Our relationship isn't all about sex though. We have great banter, he makes me laugh so much, and most importantly, he thinks I'm hilarious (which I am). It's always been so easy between us. I wake up and my skin is still really sore. There's a part of me that feels quite panicked. I've flown all this way and I want Daniel to feel some love from me. I don't think our relationship is dependant on us having sex – I know it's deeper than that – but after years of dealing with men who lie, cheat and are emotionally unavailable, it's hard to break those thought habits. So, I initiate sex. We had to go very gently, but it feels loving and I'm glad we had that moment of closeness. After my day at the beach he picks me up. We have a routine where we come back home and shower together. It's always fun and Inevitably, this leads to sex again. If I'm honest, I don't really like shower sex. I hate the confined sex and I always feel like I'm going to slip and break something. But he loves it and after the outdoor sex the other day, I'll do this for him. I wake up with a strong desire to pee, and immediately feel that familiar sensation of cystitis. F*CK. This always happens when I have a lot of sex after a dry spell. Last time I came to see Daniel in the BVI, I took some herbal tablets every day that were recommended to me by a friend who also suffers with cystitis. Obviously, this time I forgot them. Daniel doesn't quite understand what's going on, but he's very sweet and takes me to the pharmacy. I've been drinking as many litres of water as possible, and I've been peeing in the sea which is somehow less painful. Tonight we come home, shower and have sex again. It hurt, but I'm horny. I still have a touch of cystitis but it feels much better today. We have sex in the morning, and again when we get home. Then that night I have a special request: I want him to wake me up with sex. It's a fantasy I've had for a while (as long as it's totally consensual, of course). I'm vaguely aware in the night of Daniel starting to finger me, and I'm instantly ready for sex. We shag in missionary, with a bit of spooning sex thrown in, and when we both finish, I instantly fall back to sleep. Heaven. More Trending It's that time of the trip where I start to feel that knot in the pit of my stomach, as I know there's only a few days left before I have to leave him to go home. There are always so many tears, and I hate not knowing when I'll see him again. We've been together for less than a year, so it's too early to talk about relocating. If we lived in the same city, we wouldn't be talking about moving in together. View More » It's hard, but I trust Daniel 100%. I want a future with him in it, we just don't know what that will look like yet. Do you have a story to share?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce finally go 'Instagram official' with 13 sweet snaps
After months of dating, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have finally gone 'Instagram official' with their relationship, sharing a series of loved up snaps online After months of fan excitement and keeping a relatively low profile about his love life, Travis Kelce has finally taken things to the next level and made his relationship with pop star Taylor Swift official on Instagram. The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end embraced the modern tradition of confirming a relationship via social media, offering fans a glimpse into their blossoming romance. On Thursday, Travis shared a series of photos documenting their summer adventures together in what marked a huge milestone in their relationship journey so far. Travis, who boasts 6 million followers on Instagram, posted a collection of snaps from their recent holiday. The images showcased various moments of their relationship, from boat trips to dining at upscale restaurants. One photo captured the couple enjoying a snowy landscape, while another showed them sharing a moment on an ice rink. In one particularly sweet image, Taylor is seen tenderly holding Travis's face as they pose with friends. Captioning the post, Travis wrote: "Had some adventures this offseason, kept it 100.", reports the Express. As soon as the post was live, fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section, expressing their delight at this significant step in the couple's relationship. Former NBA player Chandler Parsons chimed in with: "the hard post !" acknowledging that this was the first time Taylor had featured on Travis' Instagram feed. Betty Crocker, the baking behemoth, also couldn't resist chiming in, suggesting the post might just "break the internet." Among the collection of images, one specific photo caught the sharp eyes of fans, as it unveiled that Kelce's phone lock-screen is a snapshot of the smitten pair. In a discreet tribute to TayTay, the post included a total of 13 images, which happens to be Taylor's lucky number. The 35-year-old pop superstar and American footballer Travis have been an item since September 2023 and it seems they are as hungry for each other as always. The couple have supported each other on the road - with Travis, 35, tailing Taylor on her epic Eras World Tour which finally climaxed at the end of last year, and she attending games he played for his team, the Kansas City Chiefs. The couple have been reasonably happy to talk about their romance - with Travis occasionally talking about his girlfriend on his podcast, New Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, 37. And Taylor has declared her love to Travis while on stage and collecting awards. However up until now, the couple have never officially confirmed their romance on social media, making Travis' photo carousel all the more poignant.
