Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Ariana Grande has just signed up for another new film - an animated adaptation of the Dr Seuss classic Oh, The Places You'll Go! Credit: Getty But, in what might give her fans some comfort, it will be a musical, so audiences will get to hear her singing again when it hits screens in March 2028. It is being made by Jon M. Chu, who also directed Wicked, so it's not hard to see how she got the part. She will star alongside Josh Gad, who is best known for voicing Olaf in Frozen, so she's in good company. Ariana will be back in cinemas in November for sequel Wicked: For Good. SZA hits back at Minaj NICKI Minaj has rowed with Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Taylor Swift, to name just a few. And she's now decided to come for R&B singer SZA. 4 SZA, above, is in a row with Nicki Minaj Credit: Getty 4 Nicki has beefed with many pop stars Credit: Getty Late on Tuesday night, Nicki started by accusing rapper Punch – who is signed to the same label as SZA – of 'bullying me on Twitter for no reason'. In a cryptic message, SZA tweeted: 'Mercury retrograde . . . don't take the bait lol. Silly goose.' But that was like a red rag to Nicki who posted a series of disses about the former Glastonbury headliner's appearance, before saying she sounds like a 'fkng dead dog'. Then she questioned SZA's achievements including the recent news that her 2022 album SOS had gone nine-times platinum in less than three years. 'Justice for SZA' say Glastonbury fans as headliner is hit by more sound issues She wrote on X: 'Does Sza think she's more successful than me? Sza, if every song you've ever done vanished right now the music business wouldn't even miss you.' But SZA insisted she wouldn't be getting involved. She wrote: 'I'm the most successful I ever been. GET SOME F***ING PERSPECTIVE n BARK AT THE WALL.' Hear hear. Busy Katy smugs off Orlando HER former partner Orlando Bloom might have been branded the 'worst boyfriend ever' after he was seen gallivanting around the world with a massive grin on his face. But Katy Perry isn't letting the pain of their heartbreak, or Orlando's smug mug, get in the way of her world tour. 4 Katy Perry isn't letting Orlando Bloom get in the way of her world tour Credit: Getty The Piece Of Me singer wore this futuristic outfit as she made her homecoming at the Kia Forum in California on her Lifetimes tour. The mammoth run of shows will see her playing a gig in San Francisco tomorrow before polishing off 19 more concerts in the US before she heads to South America.

Actress Kristen Bell has received her very first Emmy nomination and her actor husband Dax Shepard decided to celebrate the impressive accolade with a very unusual post Kristen Bell's husband had a very unique way of celebrating her success as she received her very first Emmy nomination. The actress' husband Dax Shepard shocked his followers when he shared a snap of Kristen in nothing but her birthday suit. She picked up the highly respected nomination for her role in Netflix series Nobody Wants This. Dax, who married Kristen in 2013, decided to post a photo of his wife doing yoga in the nude to his 4.1million followers to mark the occasion. The Frozen star posed in a downward dog position as she lifted her leg high into the air, wearing nothing but a pair of knee-high blue socks. In the carefree snap, Kristen appeared to be doing a spot of yoga in their back garden as she was joined by their little dog. Alongside the eye-catching photo, Dax teased: "People might not know everything that happens behind the scenes in order to create an Emmy nominated performance like Kristen's. This may or may not have been a part of her training, but it felt right. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!" Even the couple's celebrity friends were stunned by the post as Gwyneth Paltrow declared: "Oh my God, Dax." The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev added: "Hahahaha yesssss go girl ! suns out buns out for that Emmy!!!" The raunchy post racked up 137k likes as Dax decided to limit comments. Kristen is nominated for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the Emmys. The show will also face off against Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking, The Studio and What We Do in the Shadows for Best Comedy Series. Dax has been there supporting Kristen throughout her career as they met in 2007. She launched her acting career when she played the title character in the series Veronica Mars. Kristen later starred as Elle Bishop in Heroes and her voice is recognisable for narrating Gossip Girl. She reached further fame for voicing Princess Anna in the Disney Frozen films. Dax and Kristen announced their engagement in 2010. However, they decided to delay their marriage until the state of California legalised same-sex marriage. In 2023 she opened up about how she makes her marriage with the Hit and Run actor work, telling ET Online: "Common goals, seek them out. Our kids are a common goal, right? "People are like: 'Oh, I wouldn't be able to work with my husband or wife or partner.' For me, I want another common goal with him. I respect him so much creatively. I have so much trust in him. Of course, I want him to be my director or my scene partner.' The couple have two daughters, born in March 2013, and December 2014. Despite her long career, Kristen has only just received her first Emmy nomination for her role as Joanne in Nobody Wants This. She stars alongside Adam Brody, who plays her love interest.

I bought a derelict house with my boyfriend of six months – people say renovations ‘destroy even long married couples'
A YOUNG woman has been warned after buying a derelict house with her boyfriend of six months, Bekah, from Manchester, and her boyfriend Ian first met six months ago on Hinge and have already bought a house together. 2 2 But they decided to go for a derelict building to save them money and renovate it themselves. Bekah revealed that she and her partner, who is a builder, had just enough money to buy the house, so were hoping that sharing the journey on social media would help pay for the work. She said: "Even though we've only been officially boyfriend and girlfriend for six months, we decided to pool our money and take the leap on this huge project. "We've both always had dreams of renovating houses and we're the perfect team to do it together." In the video it was clear the couple had already got to work, they hired gardeners to help strip the ivy taking over their house which was a bigger job than any of them imagined. She said that the overgrown ivy had caused structural issues in the house and that wasn't all. As Bekah got busy tearing off the wallpaper, she found that much of the structure was rotten and covered in mould. "I steamed off wallpaper in most of the room while documenting it all on this new account which I've made with the hope of being able to monetise some of the renovations," she explained. While she was terrified to see just how much work they had to do, she was grateful to those watching the videos, which helped her pay for the work. In a recent video, she shared how the garden clean up had cost her £500, but she had already made £400 from the TikTok creator fund after filming the process. Trolls say council houses can't look nice but my stunning hallway will prove them wrong And she hoped to do the same with the rest of the house. "My aim with this project is that if I vlog every single thing. hopefully, I can monetise so things will cover themselves," she added. The clip soon went viral on her TikTok account @ renovationstyled with over 349k views and 36k likes. While many were excited to follow the renovation project along, others warned it could break their relationship. One person wrote: "Renovations can destroy long married couples. If you survive this you know that he is 1000% the one!!" Another commented: "If you can renovate a house together you can survive anything." "Going to be a stunning house.. Be well worth it," penned a third. Home upgrades that add the most value to a house The best renovation to add value totally depends on your property, the local market and your potential buyers. Zoopla shared a list of upgrades that will instantly add value to your home. Loft conversion - increase of 15% Off-street parking - adds £50,000 to property price New kitchen - increase of 15% Garage conversion - increase of 15% Cellar or basement conversion - increase of 10-15% Open plan living space - increase of 3-5% New bathroom - increase of 3-5% Meanwhile a fourth said: "If you can survive a Reno together nothing can stop you."
