Dakota Johnson shares bizarre dream about The 1975's Matty Healy
The Hollywood actress explained the dream featured the band's frontman as a mass murderer who turned into an asparagus in a bid to avoid detection - and she revealed her former boyfriend Chris Martin told her it should be turned into a movie.
During an appearance on the 'Good Hang' podcast, Dakota explained: "I actually had a dream the other night.
"Matty Healy from The 1975 was in my dream and he was murdering people, and he was Matty Healy as himself. When the people were looking for him - they were cops maybe, he would turn into a piece of asparagus."
She added of the dream: "I saw these two poles and a bed and I was like, 'Matty?' The sheets came down and it was him as an asparagus and Angelina Jolie as an asparagus.
"They were getting married, and they left in a helicopter together as asparagus."
She said she then told Chris about the dream, adding: "Chris was like: 'That's a really good pitch for a movie'."
Dakota was involved with the Coldplay frontman on and off for around eight years and they are believe to have previously been engaged, but reports suggest they recently called off the romance for good.
During her appearance on the podcast, Dakota revealed she recently adopted a new puppy named Tokyo from the Santa Barbara Humane Society in California and the pooch has been helping her cope with the loss of her previous dog Zeppelin, who died in December at the age of 17.
She said: "We rescued her on Saturday from the Santa Barbara pound. I didn't plan on it.
"I thought: 'It's gonna be a while [before I get another dog']. But then I saw her, and she's an angel."
Dakota brought Tokyo along to the recording of the podcast and she added of the puppy: "She's a performer. Honestly, she has come alive on camera.
"She normally hides in the back of her crate. She's really timid. And now she's like, 'Here I am' ... You're an actress just like your mom!"
Dakota has yet to publicly address rumours of her split from Chris, but during a recent appearance on the 'Today' show, she shared her "non-negotiables" for dating in the future, declaring any future partner needs to be "just like, not an a******."

Logie Awards: Top 10 of the most memorable Logies moments ever, featuring Kylie Minogue and Muhammad Ali
When you place hundreds of TV personalities in a room filled with cameras and alcohol, there's sure to be some noteworthy performances on and off the stage. From hilarious speeches, to shocking outfits, and everything in between, here are 10 of the most memorable moments in Logies history ahead of Sunday night's awards. Look at moy (2004) Anywhere Kath & Kim go, laughs typically follow. The irreverent pair of bogans, played by Gina Riley and Jane Turner, made a habit of popping up at the Logies in their eponymous show's heyday to drop new colloquialisms and not-safe-for-work one-liners. Delivering hilarious joint speeches at the lectern, and reversing fashion trends on the red carpet, the foxy ladies' most noteworthy showing was perhaps when they performed choreography to the 70's tune Lady Bump, but with a Logies twist. Viewers were treated to a live 'look at moy' moment, Kim's conspicuous G-string placement, and four left feet. A bout, a boy (1979) The late Bert Newton briefly wished he could fly like a butterfly far away from special guest Muhammad Ali, regretfully quipping 'I like the boy' as his special guest presented him with the Gold Logie. Unaware of the potential racial connotations of his remark, Newton panned to the awestruck crowd, and back to the champ, who questioned whether he had said 'Roy or boy'. Leaving the national treasure with his signature turn of phrase, Ali teased, 'I love the award, I like your style, but this gift is so cheap, I won't see you for a while'. Butt of a joke (2024) After Karl Stefanovic famously referenced his former wife had the 'the best a*** I've ever seen' in 2011 upon collecting his Most Popular Presenter award, Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur decided to put his own spin on the joke years later, Referencing a challenging start to his media career, Emdur recalled the moment he told his late father, 'I'm trying, but there's so many a***holes in this business... so many'. True to his word, the popular Channel 7 star kept his pre-ceremony promise of tattooing his fellow nominees' initials on his behind should he win, which he did live on The Morning Show the next day. And who could forget Stefanovic's infamous morning after appearance on the Today show in 2009 while he appeared to be still drunk from the night before. Logie-motion (1988) Triple threat Kylie Minogue solidified her standing as one of the country's most talented performers when she became the first person to win four Logies in a single year, and the youngest to claim the coveted Gold Logie at just 19. Among her victories were Best Actress, for her portrayal of Charlene Robinson on long-running soap Neighbours, and Most Popular Music Video for The Loco-Motion. However, Kylie lost a little love at the 2014 ceremony after fans and critics accused her of lip-syncing her single I Was Gonna Cancel, with Myf Warhurst claiming it 'looked like it was performed at my high school camp in 1989'. Steve Wranglin (2003) Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin brought the animal kingdom to the centre of Melbourne's Crown Palladum ballroom, and nearly gave host Eddie McGuire a heartache when he emerged from a trap door in the stage holding a large snake. Tumbling off stage, the late icon inadvertently thrust the reptile in the direction of sports presenter Tim Webster who appeared to cop a nasty bite while seated at his table. A nervous McGuire quipped, 'I just saw it bite Tim Webster on the groin, and I can tell you, I'm not going to suck the poison out, Tim.' I'm an embarrassed celebrity, get me outta here! (2015) Few can say they've experienced not one but two regrettable Logies moments, but Julia Morris has never been one to shy away from attention. In 2015, Morris regrettably announced the winner of Best Entertainment Program without celebrating any of the nominees. 'Did I forget to talk about the nominees? It's live. Don't tell anyone. We can cut it out later,' she said, but it was too late. However, the blunder was topped the following year when she gave a tutorial on how to be a 'great presenter,' and upon attempting a spin to showcase her bespoke outfit, fell head over heels onto the stage and exposed her behind to the room. A vehicle for change (2019) Dylan Alcott would have had plenty more fans after claiming his Most Popular New Talent award than before he accepted it. The former tennis pro admitted he did not rate his chances of topping the category until made aware of a 'ramp out the back' , delivering a powerful speech about representation in the community. Telling viewers he 'never saw anybody like me' on TV as a kid, Alcott implored networks and the population to give people with disabilities a fair go, promising 'they won't disappoint.' Boom or bust (1995) It was the dress so 'nice', Susie Elelman wore it twice! The former model, TV presenter and ambitious dresser turned heads for the wrong reasons in 1995 when she attended the awards in a black gown that showcased more of her cleavage than many were ready for. Later revealing the backlash inspired her to become healthier, Elelman dusted off the dress for another run in 2014, but the fashion police blared their sirens once again. Petty in Pink (2006) When you give an unpredictable comedian a stage, you better throw out the script. Late American icon Joan Rivers accepted a bespoke pink Logie from Richard Wilkins as a special guest, only to toss 'the ugliest award I've ever seen' to the floor. The riotous figure riffed with Wilkins over her confusion at being invited to the ceremony. And the room hung off every word. 'They don't know who the s**t I am. I don't know why the f*** I'm here. I know him (gesturing at Wilkins) and I know you're all famous (gazing at the audience) and I hope you all win,' she dribbled. Winners are grinners (2019) A torn Tom Gleeson accepted his Gold Logie in controversial circumstances after actively campaigning against the very institution that is the Logies in the weeks prior. 'I am in a tricky spot, because I like it, and I hate it,' he said upon collecting the top gong, wine in hand. With the entire room in on the joke, the quiz show host declared, 'Turns out I'm just really good at manipulating the media to get people to do things for me'.

Denise Welch auctioning off Glastonbury Brat flag
Denise Welch is auctioning off the viral Glastonbury Brat-inspired flag that had her name printed on it, as well as a bra attached to it. The bold, fluorescent green-coloured item - which the Loose Women panellist revealed was created by the 42-year-old comedian Josh Widdicombe's friend - went viral on social media after the comic's pal waved it when Denise and her ex-husband, the 73-year-old actor Tim Healy's son Matty Healy, 36, and his band, The 1975, headlined the Pyramid Stage at the Worthy Farm musical festival last month. The flag took inspiration from the 32-year-old singer Charli xcx's green-coloured Brat album, which was released in June 2024 and later became a cultural phenomenon, as well as Josh's pal's family being big fans of Denise, and the comic's friend being a supporter of Matty. A bra is attached to the flag because, as a woman in the crowd could not get close enough to the Pyramid Stage to throw her garment at Matty whilst The 1975 were performing, she thought the next best thing was to stick it on the flag. Now, Denise, 67, has put the Brat-inspired flag - which comes with the bra - up for auction to raise money for Children North East. The charity provides mental health support for children, helps support families in crisis, youth services and safe spaces, as well as support groups. So far, 13 people have placed a bid for the item - taking the price to £685. The auction ends on Monday, August 11, 2025, and Denise will personally present the flag to the winner. She wrote on her Instagram Stories on Tuesday (29.07.25): "So at Glastonbury in June, @charli_xcx showed me a photo and said, 'Have you seen the Denise Welch Brat flag!!' "It became quite a story and featured on lots of the coverage of the festival especially @loosewomen of course!!! "We're now auctioning the flag (and bra) to raise money for the amazing @children_ne who do so much for children living in poverty in the north east of England. "It would be so kind of you would bid for the flag and whoever wins I'll present it to them personally! (sic)" To place a bid for the Denise Welch Glastonbury Brat flag, visit:

James Van Der Beek was candid with kids over cancer battle
James Van Der Beek was "as honest as possible" with his children about his cancer diagnosis because he didn't want to "confuse" them. The former Dawson's Creek star - who has Olivia, 14, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 11, Emilia, nine, Gwendolyn, six, and Jeremiah, two, with wife Kimberly - was diagnosed with stage 3 colo-rectal cancer last year and didn't want to hide the news from his broos because "they know" when he's not doing well. Speaking on Today, he said: 'I'm far from an expert, but our approach was just to be as honest as possible, as honest to the degree of their understanding, right? Because they know. "They can sense that Dad's having a tough day. "They know if Dad's in pain. They know, and so by not telling them, I think you're confusing them even more." James has found "a lot of beauty" in his health struggles because of the way his kids have responded. He said: "I have kids making me tea. 'Dad, what do you need?' There's been a lot of beauty that's come out of it, but I would love to save everybody this journey, which is why I'm saying get screened." The 48-year-old actor advised other parents in a similar situation to share the news with their children as they will be surprised by the resilience of youngsters. He said: "When you tell them what you're doing, and you tell them the approach, they can see it and they can feel it, and I think it's also your journey is their journey." At the moment, James is "feeling great" but views battling the disease as a "full-time job". He said: "Today, I'm feeling great, yeah. It's been a journey. There are just so many ups and downs and so many unknowns. Cancer is – I call it a full-time job." James has made a number of changes to his life, including practicing yoga and trying the keto diet and has learned to slow down. He told "[I've been finding] the beauty of just taking things a little bit more slowly and prioritizing rest and really allowing that to be the job," he tells And he is happy he has continued to work, with a role in upcoming TV series Elle. He said: "The greatest thing about work is a cancer doesn't exist between action and cut. "It was fun to drop in and just have a blast because it's such a great cast, a great production, and everybody out there is really talented."
