It wasn't just the hilarious moments between football icons and Hollywood megastars that grabbed everyone's attention, but also the blockbuster football too.
Becks and his buddies were treated to an all-time great Champions League semi-final as Inter Milan needed extra-time to secure a 4-3 second-leg win over Barcelona to book a space in the final.
Inter had thrown away a two goal lead, trailing 3-2 before 37-year-old Francesco Acerbi scored in the third minute of injury time to take it to extra time.
Substitute Davide Frattesi then completed the turnaround in the 99th minute to send the San Siro into a frenzy and Inter into their second Champions League final in three years with a 7-6 aggregate victory.

Lionesses hero Chloe Kelly hosts huge hometown street party as Euros celebrations continue
Chloe Kelly hammered home the decisive penalty as England's women retained the Euros last weekend and the Arsenal star has continued her celebrations by hosting a street party Lionesses star Chloe Kelly threw a huge street party in her hometown after playing a key role in England women's second successive European Championship win. Kelly scored the winning penalty as England retained their crown, seeing off the Spanish in Switzerland last Sunday. The Arsenal star also scored a late winner in extra-time to down Italy in the semi-final. It has seen her stock skyrocket and she was among the star names as the Lionesses celebrated with fans in central London earlier in the week. They enjoyed an open top bus parade down the Mall before lapping up the love of the supporters back home. Kelly's celebrations have extended to a week as she partied on the street with friends and family in Hanwell, west London over the weekend. A video went viral on social media and showed the 27-year-old dancing in the middle of the large group. The Lionesses hero has admitted in the aftermath of the Euros that she was going through some 'dark moments', which had seen her change club, leading to her turning her year around as she responded to those who doubted her. Kelly said: "There were a lot of tears at full-time, especially when I saw my family, because they were the people that come me through those dark moments. 'I am so grateful to be out at the back end, but if that's a story to tell someone who maybe experiences something the same, then tough times don't last and just around the corner was a Champions League final. I won that and now a Euros final, I've won that. So, thank you to everyone that wrote me off, I'm grateful.' Kelly's iconic moments in an England shirt date back to her also scoring the winning goal in extra-time when the Lionesses downed Germany to win their first ever Euros three years ago at Wembley. The Arsenal star walked off the pitch last weekend and told the camera: "The first time was so nice, we had to do it twice." The 27-year-old has hailed the efforts and influence of Sarina Wiegman, whose success at England women's boss continues to elevate the game with Kelly reserving special praise for her manager. She said: 'What she has done for me, individually, she gave me hope, when I probably didn't have any. She gave me an opportunity to represent my country again. I knew that I had to get game time, because representing England is never a given. But what she has done for the women's game, not just in England, she has taken it to a whole other level."

Meryl Streep takes a tumble in towering red heels while filming Devil Wears Prada 2 (even after she tested them out hours earlier!)
It's exactly the kind of thing that all-controlling fashion boss Miranda Priestly would never have allowed to happen. But Meryl Streep – who is returning to play the iconic role in Devil Wears Prada 2 – was able to see the funny side after taking a tumble on the stairs in a billowing scarlet gown and towering heels. The blunder befell the triple Oscar-winner, 76, during filming at New York's Museum of Natural History for the sequel of the 2006 film, set in the cut-throat world of the glamorous Runway magazine. Meryl commanded attention in the glamorous dramatic red dress as she joined co-star Stanley Tucci, who is returning as fashion authority Nigel. The pair waved to the crowd of photographers lining the red carpet as they made their way up the stairs, recreating Runway's version of the Met Gala. However minutes later, the Mamma Mia! star tripped and fell to the ground but luckily saw the funny side laughing off the blunder with Stanley before he kindly gave her a helping hand up. Earlier in the day, Meryl had carried out a practice run on the stairs wearing a pair of wedged sandals before attempting the Met Gala-inspired scene in full costume, complete with red stacked heels. The actress, despite not being in character at the time, looked every bit the fashion icon in a beige trench layered over a black-and-white checked blouse. Like many celebrities before her, she is not the first star to take a tumble as Gigi Hadid tripped on the Met Gala stairs in 2021, and US singer Janelle Monae took a tumble in 2024. The sequel to the film based on the novel of the same name by Lauren Weisberger, who worked at Vogue under Anna Wintour, will see Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt reprise their roles – but in a rapidly- changing media landscape. Elsewhere during the scene, Bridgerton's Simone Ashley, who is joining the cast, looked sensational in a show-stopping black mesh glittering number. David Frankel - who directed the first 2006 movie - is returning as director on the sequel as well. Aside from Anne, Emily, Stanley and Meryl, other stars joining the original cast in the second movie include Simone Lucy Liu, Pauline Chalamet, Kenneth Branagh, Tracie Thomas, B.J. Novak and Justin Theroux are other cast members in the project. The premise: 'Follows Miranda Priestly's struggle against Emily Charlton, her former assistant turned rival executive, as they compete for advertising revenue amidst declining print media while Miranda nears retirement,' per IMDB. The actress, despite not being in character at the time, looked every bit the fashion icon in a beige trench layered over a black-and-white blouse as she practised in her stacked heels The blunder befell the triple Oscar-winner, 76, during filming at New York's Museum of Natural History for the sequel of the 2006 film, set in the cut-throat world of the glamorous Runway magazine By the time the sequel hits theaters next year in May 2026, it would be 20 years after the first movie was released. The Devil Wears Prada was a critical success and raked in $326.7 million in the box office on a budget of around $35-$41 million. It also garnered two Oscar nominations, such as Best Actress for Meryl Streep. Other nods included five BAFTAs and three Golden Globes - with Streep winning for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. During an interview with WWD, Anne - who is also set to star in The Princess Diaries 3 - opened up about reprising previous roles. 'I was so beautifully cared for on both of those films,' she recalled, while adding that she had been young when making both The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries. 'I was so guided and looked after and cared for by the communities that made both of those films in particular, each of their directors, Garry Marshall and David Frankel.'
