Liam Payne pays boyband HUGE compliment before making awkward gaffe in new episode of Netflix's Building The Band
In the new episode of the Netflix talent contest, which drops today, the late singer is seen talking to group Midnight 'Til Morning, first in a workshop then after their performance on stage.

He tells them: 'It was really nice to spend a bit of time with you guys earlier on.
'I've got a very big soft spot for you boys, you remind me a lot of what we were like.
'Don't let me down – boybands!'
Liam also seems to have quite a bit of faith in them, as he shares some tips on how to work crowds in stadiums should they ever get the same level of career as his One Direction did.
He tells them: 'When you're in a stadium you can see the front rows of people but everything else becomes one big crowd, so you're trying to move a section of the crowd, not just one person, so everything's got to be quite big.'
His gushing is reciprocated when one of the boyband members tells Liam: 'We all looked up to you boys so much and we want to be that next band.
'You guys kind of shied away from that Nineties boyband thing.'
Then he suddenly realises he's standing next to host AJ McLean, who famously sang with arguably the biggest boyband of the Nineties, Backstreet Boys.
Awkward.

Sneak peek at Creek clique

There's a few more laughter lines and flashes of silver, but Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson are still looking just as good as they were back in their Dawson's Creek heyday.
The two actors, who played Joey and Pacey on the cult teen drama, were all smiles as they were reunited on the New York City set of their new film Happy Hour.
For five years from 1998, young viewers on both sides of the Atlantic were gripped by the intertwined romances among the strangely deep and mature adolescents that resided in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts.
After the show ended, the cast went their different ways and had very different life experiences.
Katie married Tom Cruise, while Michelle Williams starred in Brokeback Mountain and started dating its star, the late Heath Ledger.
Meanwhile, Joshua has arguably enjoyed something of a later life renaissance in his career, starring in TV shows including The Affair and Doctor Odyssey.

It's normally delightful to see a mother teaching her child new skills, but in the case of one new Prime Video thriller, it's more spine-chilling.
This exclusive image from The Assassin shows Keeley Hawes, who plays a hitwoman, delivering a crash course in using a gun to her son, played by Freddie Highmore.
And anyone who sees the first, bloody three minutes of the show – which drops on Friday – will understand why it's probably for the best.
Troy's antique passion

The Antiques Roadshow has an unlikely fan in former Premier League bad boy Troy Deeney.
The ex-Watford ace turned broadcaster says he got hooked on the long-running BBC series in the most unlikely of places – prison.
Deeney, who will soon be appearing in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, said watching the show helped him pass the time while he was serving three months for affray before he made it big in football.
He said: 'I was a little bit naughty at one point and basically when I was in jail, I had a lot of time watching Antiques Roadshow.
'I'd watch Antiques Roadshow and that one [Bargain Hunt] as well where they used to run round and buy things and then try to sell it.
'These couples had grafted all day and they'd got 90 quid and they're like 'Yes, we won'.
'It was a bit sad, but it got me through a lot of jail time.'
I doubt anyone would be brave enough to mock him.
Football play Dear England, which is being turned into a TV drama, will soon return to the stage with a national tour.

Darts star Luke Littler tries out brand new sport and fans reckon they know where he learned his technique
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DARTS star Luke Littler turned his hand to GOLF during the middle of the World Matchplay. But his dismal technique saw him likened to hapless movie character Happy Gilmore by giggling fans.

The Nuke was 7-2 down before sealing a 13-11 victory to set up a clash against Andrew Gilding on Friday night. And to take his mind off the occasion, Littler decided to swap a darts board for a golf course. However, it was hardly The Open's Portrush course — with Littler instead opting for a game of crazy golf. READ MORE IN DARTS HARD TO WATCH Sky host can't keep straight face at darts ace Gilding's answer to question The teen donned his best shorts-and-hoodie combo as he joined Sky Sports for a day on the whimsical green. But Littler showed why he should be sticking to darts with a dismal performance. Hilarious video footage showed him struggling to get past one hole, which involved hitting the ball through a miniature cabin. At one stage, Littler even managed to knock his ball off the green and into some paving stones.

However, some fans felt Littler's approach was less Scottie Scheffler and more Happy Gilmore.

Where was ‘Happy Gilmore 2' filmed: All the New Jersey locations from Netflix's Adam Sandler Reboot
It has been 29 years since Adam Sandler had a spit-spewing, high-decibel outburst at a golfer or two, or even a toy clown. But now 'the Sandman' is back as Happy Gilmore in an unexpected Netflix sequel to his 1996 hit. Sporting a scruffy beard and now with a family of his own, Happy is all grown up – until he isn't, as he steps out of retirement and returns to the golf turf. There are unexpected new additions to the ensemble, like Bad Bunny and Eminem, as Happy Gilmore 2 takes us on a trip across burger shops, delis, and, of course, country clubs. But don't expect any uptight gentlemanly play here as Sandler's brash man-child returns to the game in oversized jerseys, a hockey stick putter, and a vocabulary coarser than a sand trap full of sailors. Where was Happy Gilmore 2 filmed? While the first Happy Gilmore was shot entirely in British Columbia in Canada, the sequel makes its way to the United States. Most of the principal photography took place in New Jersey in September 2024. To make filming easier, Sandler and his family even moved to New Jersey last fall. The state boasts enough green pastures for the film's ragtag bunch of golfers to wreak havoc at. Montclair Golf Club, New Jersey One of the oldest American golf courses, the Montclair Golf Club in Verona, New Jersey, plays a pivotal role in Happy Gilmore 2 's championship sequences. Going back all the way to 1893, the private club stretches across a 36-hole course and adds some serious professionalism to the film despite its goofy subversion of the game's rules. Choosing a top-notch golf course like Montclair makes sense given how the Netflix sequel's ensemble cast also features cameos from real-life golfers like Keegan Bradley, Collin Morikawa and even Lee Trevino, the seasoned veteran of the sport who also played himself in the first film. Pleasantdale Château, New Jersey The first-ever teaser of Happy Gilmore 2 offered us a glimpse of the palatial Pleasantdale Château in West Orange, New Jersey. It is here where Happy is honoured among other golfing legends like Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer with a metallic bust that makes him look more like 'SpongeBob' with 'beaver teeth' than a golf pro. While the early 20th-century property was purchased by New York industrialist Charles Walter Nichols in 1912, the luxurious property has evolved into a private event estate, hosting weddings, corporate retreats, and plenty of filming projects. Before Happy Gilmore 2 pitched its tents here, the Château and its backdrop had featured in episodes of The Sopranos, along with Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, and Adrian Brody and Beyoncé musical drama Cadillac Records. Fiddler's Elbow Country Club, New Jersey As Happy returns to the golfing circuit to raise money for his daughter's ballet lessons, he must swing his club around in several New Jersey circuits, Fiddler's Elbow Country Club being one of them. The location boasts a manor for a clubhouse and three 18-hole courses, giving enough space for an enraged Happy to hole a birdie or two. Ideal Beach, New Jersey Every once in a while, Happy trades the trimmed country club grass for grainy beach sand. And the filming crew couldn't find a more ideal beach than, well, Ideal Beach. A blissful dog-friendly beach on the New Jersey shore, Ideal Beach serves as an ideal training ground for whatever it is that Happy is practising. From the looks of the trailers, Happy masters the art of aiming a golf ball into a trash can at this idyllic seaside location. Verona Town Hall, New Jersey The New Jersey town of Verona welcomed Sandler and his crew with open arms as Happy Gilmore 2 features some scenes in the Verona Town Hall. The official Instagram account of the township shared some BTS stills with Sandler, sprinkled with a caption reading 'Come back anytime'. Kearny, New Jersey A suburb of Newark, this New Jersey town raised eyebrows among locals when Adam Sandler was spotted filming scenes with Ben Stiller. The Tropic Thunder star reprises his role as psychotic retirement home nurse Hal L from the first film, although this time with greying hair and yellow aviators. Kearny is one of New Jersey's more popular filming destinations, appearing in diverse productions from the original Annie to the 2022 psychological horror Smile. And unsurprisingly, a few episodes of The Sopranos were also filmed here. The handlebar endures, however. Closter, New Jersey Ideal Beach isn't the only spot where Happy practises his oddball swings. During the film's multi-city New Jersey tour, the town of Closter also bore witness to Sandler sightings. The actor was spotted at a driving range with his stunt double, preparing his moves for a big match. Closter's previous filming credits include Nicolas Cage's The Family Man and a chaotic altercation between Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill in The Wolf of Wall Street. Where else was it filmed? Fans of the film can plan out a Happy Gilmore 2 trail across New Jersey, taking in Steve's Burgers on Route 46, a manicure at Kim's Nails in Maplewood, and more food at Goldberg's World Famous Deli & Bagels in Millburn or Lokl Café in Morristown. Fly in via Newark Liberty International Airport, where a scene was filmed. Who's in the Happy Gilmore 2 cast? Adam Sandler reprises his role as the titular protagonist in Happy Gilmore 2. The absence of the late Carl Weathers will felt as his mentor figure Chubbs Peterson, as will Bob Barker's, but Christopher McDonald returns as Happy's sneery golfing nemesis Shooter McGavin, and Ben Stiller is back in an expanded role as obnoxious retirement home orderly Hal L. Also co-starring are Uncut Gems director and Oppenheimer actor Benny Safdie and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny as Happy's caddy. Modern Family actress Julie Bowen returns as Happy's girlfriend Virginia Venit. In the absence of the late Bob Barker, a legendary – and violent – cameo star in the 1996 original, look out for Margaret Qualley, Kid Cudi, Haley Joel Osment and a few real-life pro golfers. It'll be streaming on Netflix worldwide from Friday July 25. Is Happy Gilmore 2 in theaters? Unlike some Netflix movies, there are no plans for a cinema release.

AFL WAG Bec Judd reveals a shock secret skill
Rebecca 'Bec' Judd has been a public personality for more than two decades, but the 'Queen WAG' of Melbourne still has a few tricks up her sleeve. On Thursday night, the mum-of-four showed her eight-year-old twins, Tom and Darcy, their AFL legend dad Chris isn't the only athlete in the family. Bec, 42, really got into the swing of things as she stepped out onto a Callaway golf course for a promotional screening of Netflix 's Happy Gilmore 2. The former model turned activewear entrepreneur shared footage of her impressive golf swing on her Instagram Stories. 'I wonder how I hurt my shoulder,' she captioned the clip with a self-effacing joke. 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. Bec dressed for the occasion too, layering a replica of Adam Sandler's iconic Boston Bruins ice hockey jersey from the first film over her blue jeans. Fortunately, the black and mustard colourway paired perfectly with the Jordan cap that she was already wearing. The mid-week family outing came after Bec made a surprising admission about motherhood on her Vain-ish podcast. The AFL WAG shares four children – Oscar, 13, Billie, 10, and twins Darcy and Tom, eight, with her husband Chris Judd. Speaking with her bestie and co-host Jessie Roberts, Bec's revelation is likely to leave her youngest, Darcy and Tom, scratching their heads in bewilderment. 'I just think four kids is a lot. Anything over two, I think is too many,' she said. Jess, who has three children, agreed, adding: 'You know what? It's a lot of chaos. And just to spread yourself between the four of them. I don't know how you do it. I struggle with three.' Bec then gave an insight into her hectic lifestyle, admitting it is a big challenge wrangling four children. 'It's like, we will be in the car and I'll be screaming at one of them, I'm threatening one to walk home. 'One's always injured or has some medical issue, or the school's calling about something,' she said. 'There's always something popping off.' It seems the in-car yelling has rubbed off on her kids, with Bec admitting her children agree with her assessment. 'The kids in the car, when I'm screaming at them, just say, "Mum, when we grow up, we don't think we're going to have four kids – it's too many,"' she laughed. 'I would not trade any of my kids in, but man, I would not recommend four!' Bec has never been one to shy away from sharing the minutiae of motherhood with her 725,000 Instagram followers – the good, the bad, and everything in between.
