Rapper 50 Cent stuns locals in UK city as he enjoys surprise activity with G-Unit entourage before gig
Fiddy stunned locals in Glasgow, ahead of his headline set at TRNSMT last night, as he enjoyed an evening of ten-pin bowling with his G-Unit entourage.
He was at hotspot Vega, enjoying drinks in the sky-high bar and using its luxe bowling lanes.
And rather than bottles of champagne, I'm told
An onlooker said: 'We couldn't believe it was him, we had to do a double-take!
Everyone knows he's a legend on stage, but he's also a legend in the lanes.

He scored strike after strike and was having a great time.
If it's any indication of what his TRNSMT performance will be like, it looks like he'll be at the top of his game.'
Sadly, my mole didn't tell me if he had the bumpers up but by the sounds of it he certainly didn't need them.

A bit like Tina's career, the show is a tale of two halves.
While the first half of the performance is slow to get off the ground, it's another story from curtain up on Act II.
The finale is also easily one of the most fun and joyous I've ever seen on the West End.
X Factor winner turned presenter
Is it quite Tina vocally? No. But then again is anyone?
It's impossible to deny Fleur's vocals outshine most of the voices in the UK.
A special shout-out must also go to Rhianne King, who plays a young Anna Mae Bullock [Tina] and was fabulous from the start and throughout.
After running since 2018, Tina will close for the final time on September 13 and if you're in town or a fan of the music icon it's well worth a visit.

Chatting to Bizarre, the rising star said: 'The crowd in Chelmsford was lovely. Justin has such dedicated fans and they've made it easy for us as support acts to feel part of it.
'It's always interesting to see how a new audience responds. I appreciate when people are curious about new music, and it feels like we have a little 45-minute journey together and by the end we are connected. I hope I can come back on tour again next year.'
The singer added: 'I'd planned to spend this year working on the next album, but when the opportunity to support Justin came up, it was an easy yes.
'I always get a bit restless after sitting in the studio for too many months in a row, so it felt good to get out on tour.'

Olivia Rodrigo headlining NOS Alive! In Lisbon, Portugal

FRESH from taking Glastonbury by storm, Olivia Rodrigo continued her quest for world domination by headlining NOS Alive! In Lisbon,
Considering the American pop-rock princess only has two albums under her belt, Olivia's stage presence is the stuff of legend – and she made sure everyone in the crowd on Thursday knew it.
It was a no-frills rock show with shredding guitar solos, an all-female band and an energy that had everyone from her pre-teen superfans to their chaperone dads dancing.
Olivia is a powerhouse when it comes to angst-ridden boy-busting anthems, but she couldn't resist a shout-out to her British actor beau, Louis Partridge, to whom she dedicated track So American, before declaring she was 'so in love' with him.
While Lisbon missed out on the star bringing out a surprise collaborator – who could forget when she was joined by The Cure's Robert Smith on stage at Glasto – fans were given pure, unapologetic Olivia.
And she set the standard incredibly high for the weekend to come.
RYAN TEDDER and his band One Republic have given us hits for two decades.
But it seems the American group are only just getting started.
One Republic have signed a worldwide record deal with BMG – the home of Kylie Minogue and Rita Ora.
Prior to the new deal they had spent 18 years on Mosley Music Group/Interscope.
New single Beautiful Colors is the lead track off their upcoming seventh album, due out this year.

My blood ran cold as Sex and the City's Mr Big groped me during horror interview… what followed was even more chilling
Journalist Polly Hudson reveals how she saw a different side of star during their meeting that left her feeling 'dazed and violated' GRIM ORDEAL My blood ran cold as Sex and the City's Mr Big groped me during horror interview… what followed was even more chilling SMILING for the camera alongside one of my TV idols, I felt a sudden hand on my chest and time stood still. I had just been groped by Sex And The City's 'Mr Big' Chris Noth - whose behaviour up to that point had been a world away from his suave TV persona - but it was what happened next that truly turned my blood cold. Advertisement 6 Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth in Sex and the City: The Movie Credit: Getty 6 Five women have accused Chris Noth of sexual abuse Credit: Getty Last week, many fans were surprised when Sarah Jessica Parker wrote a lengthy farewell message to the franchise following the cancellation of spin-off series And Just Like That, but failed to mention her former on-screen soulmate. However, I was more bemused by subsequent newspaper coverage suggesting the actor, 70 - who has denied accusations of sexual abuse by five women - could be the "forgotten victim" of the #MeToo movement. I know what kind of man Chris Noth is - after one shocking encounter which left me feeling dazed and violated. Advertisement I met Noth during the peak of Sex And The City, when the episodes were on Channel 4 on Friday nights, and women got together with friends to watch over a Cosmopolitan or two every week. Like most other females in their twenties, I was a huge fan, so extremely excited to be sent to interview Mr Big for the celebrity magazine I was working for at the time. It was a press junket in a posh London hotel, one journalist after another getting a precious 20 minutes with a star to maximise their publicity time. I was expecting Noth to be like his character, impossibly suave and charismatic. Instead the man I was greeted by acted like a teenage doofus, with a very immature sense of humour. He was less Big, more Beavis and Butthead. I was disappointed of course, but this was far from the first celebrity I'd encountered who was nothing like their public persona, so fine. We wrapped up the interview just as the next journalist was being led in and by coincidence it was a good friend of mine. Advertisement This was the days before everyone had a smartphone in their pocket, but she'd brought along a polaroid camera, and offered to take a quick picture of me and Noth before I left. He hadn't been what I'd hoped, but he was still Mr Big, so of course I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity. He stood behind me for the photo, and as my friend prepared to take it, he giggled like a 14-year-old and cupped his hands in front of my chest, in a way that would make it look like he was holding my boobs in the picture. Shamed Chris Noth makes first Hollywood appearance after being axed from Sex And The City over sex assault claims I felt uncomfortable, but I was very young, and he wasn't actually touching me so I didn't say anything. There was a problem with the camera, it didn't work, so my mate told us we'd have to try again. This time, perhaps emboldened by my silence, just before she pressed the button, he grabbed my chest for real. My blood went cold. Everything started to happen in slow motion, but the following moments were even more troubling. Advertisement Wall of silence I waited for someone, anyone in the crowded room - one of his handlers, someone in charge, a proper grown-up – to say something. No one did. My friend and I exchanged astonished glances. I think we were both in shock. I often wonder which one of us felt worse; her, watching me stumble from the room in a daze, holding a photo of myself being felt up against my will, an expression on my face I'd never seen before captured on film. Or me, having to leave her with him. I threw the photo in the bin. If you'd have asked me before that day if there was any chance I would EVER chuck a picture of myself with anyone from Sex And the City I would have laughed in your face. No way! 6 Polly Hudson interviewed Noth for a celebrity magazine she was working for during the peak of Sex And the City Credit: Polly Hudson Advertisement 6 Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis have released a joint statement about the allegations against Chris Noth Credit: Alamy Five women have since accused Chris Noth of sexual assault, which he 'categorically denies'. Responding to the allegations further in 2023, Noth insisted that any sexual encounters he was involved in were consensual. However, his character was written out of And Just Like That in the wake of the claims and his final appearance was later edited out. He was also sacked from his role in The Equalizer. At the time, Sex and The City's Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis released a joint statement saying: 'We are deeply saddened to hear the allegations against Chris Noth. Advertisement "We support the women who have come forward and shared their painful experiences. We know it must be a very difficult thing to do and we commend them for it.' No consequences Clearly what happened to me is barely worth mentioning in comparison to what these women say they went through. But I saw – felt – what Chris Noth was capable of in a crowded room full of people, while ostensibly working, and how unconcerned about any consequences he appeared. 6 Tara Wilson and Noth have been married since 2012 Credit: Getty 6 Noth's character was written out of And Just Like That in the wake of the allegations Credit: HBO Max Advertisement Hardly shocking that SJP doesn't want to speak or write about him. I presume she wants to distance herself from him as much as possible. Let's hope that just like the spin-off, he is cancelled, for good. Chris Noth told The Sun in a statement: 'What is described by the reporter allegedly took place during a press junket 25 years ago and I honestly have no recollection of it. This was also previously raised by The Daily Mirror in 2022, and I didn't remember it then either. 'From this journalist's description, it sounds like a replicate of a rather popular photo from an entertainment magazine that I took years ago with Sarah Jessica Parker. 'I'm not sure if that was the intent but either way I am very sorry if I made the journalist uncomfortable. That certainly was not my intent."

Five off-limit attractions in the UK offering free secret tours – including 10 Downing Street
Plus, other buildings you can explore for the first time I'M DOWN Five off-limit attractions in the UK offering free secret tours – including 10 Downing Street THERE is nothing more exciting than getting to explore a place where visitors are usually not allowed. Think: Downing Street, the BBC Broadcasting House and the BT Tower. 5 As part of the Open House Festival, the public can explore a number of places they usually can't access for free Credit: Getty Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here And as part of London's Open House Festival, there are over 700 properties, buildings and places where the public will be welcomed to visit between September 13 and 21. Five of these are offering extremely exclusive limited tours, with a public ballet now open until August 18. According to the Open House Festival website, many of the destinations will be a "be once in a lifetime visit". Here are the five places you can enter the ballot for, as well as what dates you will be able to visit. 10 Downing Street The home of British Prime Ministers since 1735 will open its doors to the public for two sessions on September 13. Guests will get to see behind the famous black door, where some of the most important decisions in UK politics are made. Currently, 10 Downing Street is undergoing some upgrades to its facilities to ensure the historic building is preserved. BBC Broadcasting House We all know the BBC and see content from it daily, but for the Open House Festival people can go to the first ever purpose-built broadcast centre in the UK. It was built back in 1932 and features an art-deco design, including a clock tower. More recently the building was refurbished and extended to create a new broadcasting house. Inside multi-million pound upgrade for popular Scots tourist attraction The building is now home to the largest live newsroom in Europe, right at the centre of the complex. Again, to go to this spot you will need to enter the ballot, with 12, one-hour sessions on September 20. BT Tower When in the depths of London's streets, you can often catch glimpses of the BT Tower. The tower's famous revolving floor sits 158 metres above the streets of the capital. Two high speed lights will transport visitors to the revolving floor in just 30 seconds. Bizarrely, the Tower was classified as an 'official secret' until 1993 despite it being evident in the city's skyline. To see this building, you will also need to enter a ballot for one of 16 tours, each lasting 45 minutes across September 20 and 21. 5 You could head up the BT Tower which is soon set to be turned into a hotel Credit: Getty Canada House Canada House is to the Canadian Embassy and was originally designed as two buildings. Just over 10 years ago, the building underwent a large scale revitalisation linking it to the former Sun Life Assurance of Canada building. Inside today, the building houses around 300 pieces of Canadian Art. One tour will run on September 13. 5 Or head to Canada House which is home to the Canadian Embassy Credit: Alamy London Museum Currently under construction, the public can enter a ballot to go on a tour of the Poultry Market, at the new London Museum. The London Museum is set to open in 2026, bringing new life into the historic Smithfield market buildings. And with this tour, lucky visitors will get a sneak peak ahead of its opening. Six tours will be open to the public on September 20. The museum's permanent galleries are set to open in 2026 and the 1960s Poultry Market will open in 2028. The Poultry Market will eventually house the museum's collection stores and temporary exhibition and learning spaces. 5 And you could get the first glimpse of the new London Museum Credit: londonmuseum/Secchi Smith New locations for 2025 There are also a number of new destinations part of the festival this year including Studio AVC's offices - which are located in a 1929 shop which used to be Liberty's printing workshop and part of William Morris' Arts and Crafts legacy. Or you could head to The King's Foundation, in Hackney, which is set in a refurbished factory warehouse. And there is the London Film School as well, in a former banana warehouse. For architecture buffs, you can head inside the RIBA House of the Year from 2024. A new £100million indoor resort is also set to open in the UK with a 'next generation waterpark' and thermal spas. Plus, a much-loved UK theme park reveals new rainy day guarantee – with free return after bad weather.

Jo told The Sun why her kids will 'never be nepo babies' AWKWARD ENCOUNTER Jo Whiley reveals superstar who left her feeling 'tiny and stupid' after 'unpleasant' interview BBC Radio 2 star Jo Whiley said she was left feeling "tiny and stupid" after interviewing two global superstars. The presenter, 60, said she welcomed US rappers Eminem and Dr. Dre to her show but admitted the whole experience was "horrible".

Jo said: "I remember interviewing Eminem and Dr Dre one time and that was horrible. "I'd interviewed Eminem when he was very young and he was very shy and polite. "He kept calling me "ma'am" all the time and he was really, really sweet and humble." Advertisement But Jo recalled a more recent interview where she describes Eminem as being like "this other creature" after finding global fame. "Then a couple of years later he came back on the show but with Dr Dre and the fame had happened and he was just this other creature altogether," Jo continued. "They were just so playful with me - and can I just say they made me feel so tiny and so stupid." Jo admitted that the interview was "a really unpleasant experience". Advertisement The radio star, who has been on the BBC since 1993, has interviewed a string of A-listers including David Bowie, Barbara Streisand and Noel Gallagher. t comes after Jo opened up about battling anxiety in the early days of her DJ'ing career in the 90s. BBC Radio 2 star Jo Whiley flaunts six-pack - and shares secret weapon 'I remember doing one gig and I was just so scared, I thought I can't go on like this. This is ridiculous,' she told Woman's Health. 'It's ruining my life because I'm just such a ball of anxiety. Advertisement 'But then I realised how happy it was making people when I do these gigs and that was a game changer.' In June, Jo told The Sun why her kids will 'never be nepo babies,' despite her huge career success. The highly successful 59-year-old radio star has been a host since 1993 and presented her own show on BBC Radio 1 from 2001-2009. In addition to her radio work, Jo is also an accomplished TV presenter and has covered many major music festivals. Advertisement The star married music executive Steve Morton in July 1991, and together they share their four kids - their eldest daughter India was born the year they were married before an eight-year gap for the birth of son Jude. The couple also share son Cassius and daughter Coco Lux. But despite their musical connections and fame, Jo insists her four children will 'never be nepo babies.' Speaking alongside a new campaign with The Rail Industry, Jo told The Sun: 'My kids will never be nepo babies. They are very determined never ever to make it because I'm their mum. Advertisement 'It really horrifies them - the thought that anybody would ever employ them because of what I do. So they're so determined to get jobs and do work on their own merits, and they will never take advantage of me at all.' Jo added: 'They'll never ever use my name to get somewhere.' Jo said it's actually her who ends up introducing her children to popular artists and modern music, as opposed to the other way around. And Jo's passion for music isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Advertisement The DJ, who is often found in the booth at her 90s anthem gigs, turns 60 next month on 4th July, but she has no plans to slow down her career. 'I've done so much over my career but I want to keep on keeping on, and playing music to people. I'm doing so much of what I enjoy at the moment, and I want to keep going with it.' 5 Jo opened up about battling anxiety in the early days of her DJ'ing career in the 90s Credit: Camera Press 5 The mum-of-four told The Sun why her kids will 'never be nepo babies' Credit: Getty
