Rita Ora juices new single with sexy snap in orange bikini and statement necklace

Rita Ora juices new single with sexy snap in orange bikini and statement necklace

Daily Mail​31-05-2025
Rita Ora was appealing in orange Saturday as she continued to promote her upcoming single.
In a sizzling social media post, the 34-year-old singer was seen in a skimpy orange bikini that highlighted her trim figure.
She accessorized her swimwear with stacked gold earrings, a chunky statement necklace, and a delicate belly chain.
Wearing her dark blonde hair in an effortless up-do, Rita showed off her sun-kissed glow.
Teasing her fans with a playful warning, she wrote: 'Heat coming June 6th!! Get your bikinis out… or else!'
Rita's boasted about the upcoming hit, which is just days away from being released.
In the single, she said: 'Your heat on me. Sex on sight. Anywhere you like. Inside or outside.'
Heat is expected to feature on her upcoming, still untitled fourth album, which will be her first album release since You & I from 2023.
Rita has recently been supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from Tension - Padam Padam - was nearly given to her.
The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie.
But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song.
Lostboy told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'We wrote Padam in February 2022 and there were maybe four or five months of us sitting on it, then I sent it to their label, and someone suggested to me, "Kylie would kill this." '
He added: 'They were unsure and there was a moment when Rita was going to cut it and it was worming around a few artists on that label.
'They were trying to make it work but they didn't think it was for Kylie.'
It comes after she kicked off her support gig on the tour in April at Atlanta's State Farm Arena.
Rita gushed after her gig: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America.
'It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.'
Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC.
The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK.
But she has only now begun to make a name for herself in the U.S. following the success of Padam Padam.
In the past Kylie has claimed her failure to catch on Stateside didn't faze her and she enjoyed her anonymity there.
However, her record label revealed in 2023 that the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the American market.

Julian Clary's inappropriate quiz show answer: EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE

Is a new book by Aatish Taseer, ex-boyfriend of Princess Michael of Kent's daughter Gabriella, set to revive spurious claims that Michael was the 'royal racist' unnamed by Meghan in her infamous Oprah interview? Harry said it wasn't the Queen or Prince Philip. Omid Scobie named, without evidence, the King and Kate. Meghan claims she had been angered at her first meeting with the extended royals at an annual pre-Christmas family lunch at Buckingham Palace in 2017 over a discussion on the 'skin tone' of a future Sussex baby. A year later Aatish revealed that Princess Michael had two black sheep named Venus and Serena. The royal who made the comment which made Meg bristle has never been identified. Marking the 12th birthday of Prince George yesterday, perky name-dropper Gyles Brandreth enthuses: 'July 22 is always an important date on my calendar, I send out a lot of birthday cards. The Prime Minister of Jamaica, it's his birthday. My friend Bonnie Langford, I always send her a card. The actor Terence Stamp, I always send him a card.' Thank goodness Gyles can afford all those stamps. Colonel-in-Chief of the camp fraternity Julian Clary sabotaged a take of Blankety Blank when asked by host Bradley Walsh to complete the statement: 'If you want to convince someone that you're highly intelligent, tell them you're a world authority on *blank*.' 'I don't know why, but I put 'lesbians',' explained Julian, pictured. 'They had to stop the recording to tell me to tone it down.' Surely harmless fun compared with his 1993 British Comedy Awards claim he had been intimate with Norman Lamont. The Tory Chancellor was in the audience with his wife. Donald Trump 's porky pie about never drawing pictures has been ridiculed as one of his doodles fetched $15,000 at Sotheby's. Someone who might be in the market for a Trump original is Keir Starmer, due to meet him in Scotland this weekend. One of Trump's more playful sketches is of a 'Money Tree', with dollar bills drifting from its branches, which sold for $8,500 in 2020. Starmer desperately needs one of those! Ex-Tory MP Michael Fabricant seems to have lost faith in his party, saying: 'Whether James Cleverly returns to the Conservative front bench is, for the foreseeable future, irrelevant. Deck chairs on the Titanic.' Bewigged Michael and party leader Kemi are feuding. After he announced he 'wasn't in love' with Kemi's leadership, she cheekily said of Michael: 'I'm not surprised he's not in love with me – he's a gay man.' Michael fumed: 'I'm not a gay man. I've been making it very plain that I'm bisexual!' Spare a thought for horror rock star Alice Cooper. 'I just can't get a good supply of snakes any more,' he wails. 'My guy in London always found me excellent snakes, but now I just can't get the permits.' Is Brexit to blame?

Champion kickboxer loses bid to sue Egyptian tycoon for 'many millions' in British courts for the murder of his pop star girlfriend

A champion kickboxer has lost his bid to sue an Egyptian multi-millionaire in British courts after his girlfriend was savagely murdered. Lebanese singer Suzan Tamim shot to fame as winner of a 'Pop Idol'-style Arabic TV talent show in 1996 and became one of the biggest stars in the Middle East. After moving to the UK, she formed a relationship with flamboyant London-based British-Iraqi kickboxer, Riyadh Al-Azzawi, a former six-time world champion, renowned for his fleet of gold-plated supercars. But her life was cut short aged 30 in 2008 when she was savagely murdered in a Dubai apartment by killer Mohsen Al-Sukkari. A Dubai court found the assassin had been directed by Ms Tamim's spurned suitor, multi-millionaire Egyptian tycoon Hisham Talaat Moustafa and the pair were convicted of murder and initially sentenced to death in 2010. They were later re-sentenced to jail terms, but Mr Moustafa was given a presidential pardon and released in 2017. After earlier claims through the Dubai criminal courts were rejected, Mr Al-Azzawi in 2022 instead brought a civil claim for 'many millions' in compensation to the High Court in London. But his UK compensation bid has been ended after High Court judge, Mr Justice Butcher, overturned previous orders which had extended time for the case to be served on Mr Moustafa outside of the country. The court heard kickboxer Mr Al-Azzawi was born in Iraq, but moved to the UK, where he obtained British citizenship. He now spends his time between London and Dubai. He became the first Arab to win the world kickboxing title in 2008, before chalking up another five subsequent victories. Known as the 'golden champion', the 39-year-old is famed for his flamboyance, wearing golden clothes and jewellery and driving gold-wrapped sports cars. Ms Tamim, who he claims to have wed in an Islamic marriage in 2007, found fame in the late 1990s after winning top prize in the popular Studio El Fan television show. Setting out Mr Al-Azzawi's case, the judge said he claimed Egyptian tycoon Mr Moustafa had attempted to pressure Ms Tamim into marriage, causing her to flee from Egypt to London. She met the kickboxer there, but Mr Moustafa 'had not abandoned his pursuit' of her and, after offering her money, 'then turned to direct threats and intimidation'. 'In the particulars of claim, it is alleged that one of these threats was a message sent to Ms Tamim while she was in London, which said, "Fifty million dollars says you come back to Cairo to marry me or one million dollars says I have your throat cut",' said the judge. 'The claimant's evidence is, further, that in July 2008, Ms Tamim travelled to Dubai to stay in the apartment which she and the claimant owned. 'On 28 July 2008, she was murdered in that apartment by Mohsen Al-Sukkari, a former officer with the Egyptian police, who took not only Ms Tamim's life but that of her and the claimant's unborn child. 'The Dubai police had then launched an investigation, which had gathered evidence indicating that the defendant (Mr Moustafa) had ordered the murder and paid Al-Sukkari a substantial sum for it to be done.' Both men were found guilty after several trials and appeals, with Mr Al-Sukkari ultimately jailed for life and Mr Moustafa for 15 years. Mr Moustafa, who is now 65, was released after receiving a presidential pardon in 2017, while Mr Al-Sukkari was released in similar circumstances in 2022. Mr Al-Azzawi ultimately launched his case against Mr Moustafa in 2022, having complained of 'grief, psychological and emotional damage' and a serious negative impact on his kickboxing career, as well as future loss of earnings on behalf of his late partner's estate. He estimated his claim would be worth 'many millions,' said the judge. However, because Mr Moustafa was outside of the UK, he had to apply for permission from the High Court to serve claim documents outside the country. The kickboxer was initially successful but the case came back to court earlier this month when Mr Moustafa applied for the orders to be set aside, claiming that the UK court has no jurisdiction to hear the claim. His lawyers claimed there was a failure on the part of Mr Al-Azzawi's team to 'make proper disclosure' in relation to their argument that he brought his claim too late under UAE law, a fact which the High Court was bound to take into account. Giving judgment, Mr Justice Butcher said Mr Moustafa claimed it is 'highly arguable' that the claim would be considered too late - 'time-barred' - and agreed that there is 'at the least, a very real question as to whether proceedings commenced in 2022 are time-barred.' He said there had been 'a failure to comply with the duty to make proper disclosure' when Mr Al-Azzawi's lawyers sought permission to serve the UK case papers on Mr Moustafa in Egypt and that the orders extending time and allowing service outside of the UK would be set aside. He said: 'While it is argued by the claimant that this gives rise to a windfall to the defendant, who is not required to answer for the claimant's claim, founded as it is on a truly appalling incident, this is something which is common in applications of this sort. 'If the claimant cannot now pursue his claims because they are time-barred, the responsibility for that does not rest with the defendant.' He added that, even if the service orders had not been set aside, he would have halted the UK action on the basis that the Dubai courts were 'clearly and distinctly more appropriate' for deciding the claim. The kickboxer can continue his bid to sue in the UAE if the courts there find he is not outside the time limit to do so.

The Osbournes changed reality TV forever for better or worse

First and foremost, if Ozzy Osbourne is destined to be remembered for anything, it'll be his music. Few people can genuinely claim to have invented a whole new genre of something. But Osbourne, along with the other members of Black Sabbath, did exactly that. However, Ozzy Osbourne isn't destined to be remembered for just one thing. Because, for three short years two decades ago, for better or worse (and this is genuinely debatable) Ozzy Osbourne also changed television forever. That's right, it would be rude to remember Ozzy Osbourne without at least acknowledging that he is the man who gave us The Osbournes. Twenty-three years on from its debut, the premise of The Osbournes almost seems quaint. Ozzy and his family invited an MTV camera crew into his home to document the ups and downs of their day to day lives. It's a format that has long since been worn into the dust, thanks to the endless parade of thirsty nobodies who have attempted to replicate the formula for their own gain. But at the time, if you were there, you'll remember that The Osbournes was like a grenade going off. Looking back, MTV must not have been able to believe its luck that one of the world's most recognisable rockstars was willing to subject himself to the indignities of a reality show. Indeed, since recent years saw Osbourne distance himself from the series, on the basis that he was 'stoned during the entire filming', perhaps that gives some indication of his state of mind at the time of commissioning. But thank goodness he did, because The Osbournes might qualify as the closest thing that television has ever given us to a live-action Simpsons. Episodes walked a fine line between ridiculous celebrity excess (showing Ozzy on tour) and a kind of aggressively caffeinated escalation of domestic life. An argument with noisy neighbours culminates in the family lobbing ham over the garden fence. A family friend comes to stay and annoys everyone so much that they try to urinate in his drink. Everyone gets worried when the daughter gets a new boyfriend nicknamed 'cauliflower dick'. The Osbourne family couldn't be less like yours, and yet everyone could see parts of themselves in them. Of course, it helped that every member of the Osbournes was genuinely hilarious. Sharon was a fierce matriarch without a filter. Daughter Kelly was a sassy brat. Son Jack was a legitimate weirdo. And Ozzy possessed an uncanny knack for knowingly undermining his own legacy. Look at the episode where he checks out a technical rehearsal for a concert, notices a bubble blower onstage and laments: 'Come on Sharon, I'm the prince of fucking darkness.' This wit saw The Osbournes become a near-instant sensation. When it launched, it became MTV's most-watched show of all time. It won an Emmy. What's more, every single non-Ozzy member of the family (at least the ones who agreed to appear onscreen) was vaulted to fame. Kelly became a popstar, Jack a presenter and Sharon a talkshow host and reality judge. And yet Ozzy remained the centre of gravity throughout. Constantly trying his best to navigate the world, and constantly on the point of drowning, he was in many ways the most relatable member of the family. For someone who once bit the head off a bat, that's a pretty huge achievement. You don't need to be told the cultural impact of The Osbournes, because we're surrounded by it. Paris Hilton tried to mimic the formula with The Simple Life. Katie Price had a reality show. Gene Simmons had a reality show. Ice-T had a reality show. Steps had a reality show. The Kardashians became global celebrities by ripping off the Osbourne blueprint. Most recently, Jacob Rees-Mogg attempted to stage his own Osbournes-style reality show. And it was rubbish. They were all rubbish, because they all lacked the one thing that made The Osbournes special: the Osbournes. So when the dust settles, and all the tributes start to fall away, Ozzy Osbourne will leave behind an almost unparalleled legacy of music. But he also left behind a TV show where he got so angry on a beach that he started screaming personal insults at the sea, and that's OK too.
