Pregnant Hollywood star left shocked after Aussie reporter calls her the C-word in wild interview
Vanessa Kirby has been given a very blunt introduction to some unique Australian vernacular. The UK actress, 37, was Down Under promoting her latest film Fantastic Four: First Steps, and sat down with Pedestrian alongside co-star Pedro Pascal to chat about the superhero flick. Interviewer Rebekah Manibog surprised The Crown star, 37, with a unique choice of words as she described Vanessa's social media status. 'You've kind of become a social media icon for your force field, snatched, c***y, fierceness face,' Rebekah stated. Clearly taken aback by the surprising label, Vanessa's eyes bulged in surprise as she exclaimed: 'Oh God!, 'I don't know if that is a good thing. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The reporter attempted to assure Vanessa that it was, indeed, a positive label, but the actress appeared unconvinced until Pedro stepped in to confirm the vulgar term is not always used in the pejorative. 'F*** yeah, he said, agreeing with the reporter's assessment before adding: 'C***y face is good, babe.' Still not completely sold, Vanessa asked the Last Of Us star: 'What's that? From sunglasses, maybe?' He then gave Vanessa a definition of the term, which seemed to reassure the actress. 'C***y face just means fierce, fabulous, beautiful, strong. It's good, promise' Pedro assured his co star. A clip of the exchange was uploaded to TikTok, eliciting a swathe of comments from fans. Many were quick to point out that while the term does have a negative connotation, it is also used to describe something positive, particularly in the LGBTQIA+ community. 'Our favourite Internet daddy teaching everybody the lingo,' one fan commented. 'The validation coming from Pedro? Wow woo wooo,' another swooned, while a third chimed in with: 'Pedro Pascal being every female co-star's biggest cheerleader will never get old. Ever.' Others were quick to point out many Australians' affection for using the term as a term of endearment. 'Amazing,' one enthused. 'Such a well used word in Australia. Say it to a posh English person. Good old Pedro, jumping to the rescue.' 'Not the people outside of Australia aghast at the swears,' another joked. Yet another added: 'I can picture this interviewer's whole career flashing before her eyes when there was an inkling she might have offended THE Vanessa Kirby.' The awkward exchange comes after Vanessa recently revealed she was expecting her first child with partner Paul Rabil, 39. The Mission: Impossible star revealed that she is expecting her first child as she showed off her baby bump at The Fantastic Four photocall in Mexico on Saturday. She looked great in a stylish blue gown at the Comic Con Experience Mexico and tenderly touched her stomach as she posed on the red carpet. Vanessa and Paul first sparked dating rumours when they were spotted walking hand-in-hand through New York City in October 2022. However, Vanessa and Paul didn't make their romance Instagram official until November 2023. At the time, American Paul - who is the co-founder of the Premier Lacrosse League - shared a series of photographs of the couple including one of them embracing on a beach. 'From the very minute we first met in Des Moines, around the world and back, life is far better, more purposeful and more beautiful with you,' he wrote about the film star.

Love Island's Cach breaks down in tears and is comforted by Ty in heart-wrenching scenes after dramatic recoupling as fans urge 'protect him at all costs!'
Love Island's Cacherel 'Cach' Mercer broke down in tears during Wednesday's episode following the dramatic recoupling which saw Toni Laites recouple with Harrison. Toni surprised the villa on Monday night when she picked to recouple with Harrison instead of Cach, despite telling him she was done with him. Cach entered as a Casa Amor bombshell and swept Toni off her feet, while she was on and off with Harrison. The shock turn of events left Cach in tears as he took a moment on the terrace to cry on Ty's shoulder - which left fans in tears. 'I can't believe I'm crying. I haven't cried in years,' Cach told Ty. Ty told him: 'This is real though, it's you. It's better to let stuff like this out than bottle it up. It doesn't make you any less of a man, in fact more of a man.' Love Island fans were left in tears as they took to X to share their heartbreak and urged to 'protect him at all costs'. Some comments read: 'Cach is breaking my heart', 'CASH I AM SO SORRY YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART!!! YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!', 'Protect Cache at all costs my heart is breaking for him', 'This is so hard to watch! Cach crying really breaks my heart', 'Okay now seeing Cach cry? My heart is breaking for this poor boy. He has a heart of gold', 'Nah, seeing 2 men like this is so beautiful. A man crying & being comforted by another man. Wow. Heart warming scenes man'. Toni and Harrison took their exes for a chat following the explosive and upsetting recoupling to explain and apologise - but neither of them have any of it. Love Island fans were left in tears as they took to X to share their heartbreak and urged to 'protect him at all costs' Cach didn't hold back as he told Toni: 'That was one of the most embarrassing things I've been through in my entire life… 'You knew what decision you wanted to make, you were just waiting for the go ahead from someone else.' As he walked off, he said: 'I can't respect that. Good luck with your endeavours.' Lauren Wood told Harrison: 'I've wasted my whole time getting to know you for no reason… To do what you've done to me tonight is so disrespectful.' 'I feel like everything has been a lie.' Love Island fans have branded Harrison 'disgusting' after he crawled back to Toni after having sex with Lauren during Tuesday night's episode and admitted it wasn't the first time. As the couple's settled down to sleep, one pair had other ideas as they were seen getting frisky under the covers. And it wasn't long until they took things to the next level as Harrison was seen whispering across the beds as he asked Harry whether he had a condom. After Harry passed the wrapper to his friend, Lauren was seen climbing on top of Harrison before the camera panned away to show their islanders shocked faces. And the next day as Lauren chatted with Helena and Meg, she confessed it wasn't the first time the couple had slept together as she admitted they had gone all the way the other night too. Yet despite the intimacy, Harrison was quick to change his mind on who he had a greater connection with as he went crawling back to Toni after news of a shock recoupling. Speaking to Harry he confessed: 'I want Toni' before he met with her on the terrace to beg her to give him another chance. And shockingly Toni once again chose to give things another go with her former flame, despite insisting she was 'done' earlier in the episode. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it'. 'And she still doesn't know he's sh****d Lauren twice this is so dirty someone intervene'; 'I beg Lauren stands up and mentions they sh****d twice Harrison ain't even told Toni yet loool'; Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it' Toni and Harrison have had a rollercoaster journey since Harrison brought back the bombshell to the main villa after Casa Amor 'had sex with lauren TWICE mind you, now he wants toni back'; 'Harrison wants Toni but he's having sex with Lauren. Toni and Harrison are such weirdos'; 'Harrison asking for a condom and proceeding to have sex in a room full of people ??? Disgusting'; 'How do they feel so comfortable having sex with people in the room?!'; 'Having sex with other people in the room is one thing, but on NATIONAL TV??'; 'Where is Toni sleeping? Cos if Harrison & Lauren are having sex in the same room, the respect is below hell'; 'harrison and lauren are CRAZY bc how are you having sex in a room full of people AND asking for a condom'. Harrison and Toni officially recoupled at the end of the episode, while Lauren was left in tears after she was forced to recouple with Ty. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Noel Gallagher's five-word message to fans as Oasis mania continues for night three reunion show at Heaton Park
Noel Gallagher issued a five-word message to fans during their Heaton Park gig on Wednesday night as they took to their home city for the third of five sold out shows. The band performed in front of a crowd of 80,000 devoted fans while hundreds more gathered outside the concert area near to 'Gallagher Hill' to catch a glimpse of the show from afar. And as Oasis mania shows no sign of slowing down Noel made sure to give a special shoutout to the crowd as he gushed to the audience: 'Nobody's got fans like this.' He added: 'Nobody's got fans like this. No one. Nobody,' as the crowd erupted into cheers. Meanwhile ticketless Oasis fans descended on 'Gallagher Hill' once again, however they were faced with a tall barrier put up by Manchester City Council who were blocking the view from the field of inside the venue. But that didn't stop some revellers pulling themselves up to gain a vantage point, proving they are certainly determined fans. It comes after ticketless Oasis fans reportedly tried to 'storm Heaton Park' on Friday as the band kicked off the first of their five-night stint at the venue. It has been claimed that the police were forced to intervene as people attempted to gain entry to the sold-out gig, with footage showing metal fence panels on the ground. According to Manchester Evening News, an eyewitness claimed that 'around 50 people' had tried to 'rush' one of the internal entrances to the gig area. It was thought that 10 people got in, but the publication reported that the rest were 'apprehended and turned away.' The police later issued a statement to MEN confirming that 'no one made it through to the concert area.' The shows at Heaton Park - a 600-acre public park in Bury and Manchester - are the only UK shows held outside a stadium, with the others taking place at the Principality Stadium, Wembley and Murrayfield. Elsewhere, fans were given a treat as many lucky music lovers were able to enjoy the bands opening night at Heaton Park 'for free.' While some paid hundreds to watch the reunion gig, some were able to catch the performance on TV screens. As the duo performed Don't Look Back In Anger, Cigarettes and Alcohol and Morning Glory could be heard across Prestwich. Although many didn't have a ticket for the event, many were able to catch the gig on the big screens from a near by hill. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: 'Henman Hill? Welcome to Gallagher Hill #oasis.' 'Amazing night on Gallagher Hill in Heaton Park for Oasis. Best atmosphere & lovely people!' Oasis guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, who joined the brothers on stage, shared a clip of the fans enjoying the concert from outside the venue. Alongside the clip, he penned: 'No tickets needed,' alongside red heart emojis. It seems the Oasis reunion tour may lead to even bigger and better things with the band reportedly inundated with big money offers to play major festivals next year. With the hype around the Brit pop band greater than ever The Sun have reported that their teams are receiving requests for Liam and Noel to play big shows all over the globe including Coachella and Benicassim. An insider told the publication: 'If fans thought Oasis were busy, they should see the offers their teams are fielding behind the scenes. 'None of the bids are being accepted at the moment. They're just being stacked up to be discussed at a later date. The focus for Oasis is this tour, and so far it's been a phenomenal success.' They added: 'Any decisions about future performances are a long way off — but some of them look incredibly tempting.' It will be down to Noel and Liam whether they continue following the existing dates, but they are loving being back on stage performing to their loyal fans.
