Yungblud discusses his sexuality in powerful admission and emotionally admits he's 'liking looking like a boy for the first time in a long time' in shirtless shoot for Attitude magazine
Yungblud has candidly opened up about his sexuality in a powerful admission for Attitude Magazine's July/ August Pride edition. The singer, 27, who came out as pansexual in 2020, admitted he feels a lot more confident to discuss his sexuality after years of feeling 'insecure' about it. Yungblud said: 'I am the pan man — I'm the f****** saucepan… Because it's the [label] that allows me to be who I am; it's the one with the most room for manoeuvre. 'Do you know what I'm saying? I do feel like I am less insecure about it.' Pansexuality is the romantic, emotional and/or sexual to people regardless of their gender. He also reflected on his body image in the emotional interview, admitting 'he's liking looking like a boy for the first time in a long time'. The singer, who came out as pansexual in 2020, admitted he feels a lot more confident about discussing his sexuality after years of feeling 'insecure' about it The musician said: 'I've got this really forward, masculine, sexual aggression that I need to get out, and I can either do that by shagging and partying, or by taking a more centered route. 'I wasn't happy with my body; I didn't feel sexy… At the beginning of my career, I had the kind of confidence where you don't think about the way you look. 'I'd walk into the dressing room and be like, 'What am I gonna wear tonight? Can I borrow your skirt, or your f****** leather pants,' or whatever the fuck was there.' … 'Some days I'm still gonna walk out the house with lippy on, but I know for this period in my life, I'm liking looking like a boy for the first time in a long time.' Yungblud admitted in May that he finally found 'the love of his life' in Cher's god-daughter - despite breaking off their relationship following a period of intense 'insecurity.' The British rocker, real name Dominic Harrison, had finally settled into a long-term relationship with Los Angeles-based singer and fashion designer Jesse Jo Stark after a string of failed romances, among them a short-lived fling with Halsey. Last month, Yungblud released a music video for Zombie which starred award-winning actress Florence Pugh. The music video for Zombie, directed by Charlie Sarsfield and produced by Untold Studios, went live at 4pm. He said: 'Some days I'm still gonna walk out the house with lippy on, but I know for this period in my life, I'm liking looking like a boy for the first time in a long time' (pictured in 2021) Zombie is the third single from Yungblud's forthcoming album, Idols which released on June 20. Idols is the first part of a double album, with the release date of part two yet to be announced. Speaking about the track, said: 'The song was written initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. 'It's about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment. 'We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it's f***ing scary.' The song's video matches its message, with Florence portraying a healthcare worker at her emotional brink, overwhelmed by grief and exhaustion.

Henry Golding thinks portraying James Bond would be a 'nightmare'
Henry Golding thinks playing James Bond would be a "nightmare". The 38-year-old actor has been widely tipped as one of the candidates to replace Daniel Craig as 007, but he acknowledged that the role carries a lot pressure and expectation. Golding told People: "I think that's every actor's kind of nightmare. But at the same time, [you're] also wanting to kind of add something new to a franchise." He said the role of Bond would be more attractive if it didn't carry so much "cultural pressure". The actor – who starred in 2018's Crazy Rich Asians – reflected: "Maybe I'm just a p****. I don't know. But I think I would love it so much more if there wasn't that overhanging cultural pressure." Golding reckoned the Bond franchise should actually broaden its horizons by adding "more agents" and adopting a more open-minded approach. He said: "Why can't they bring out more agents or more OO's? I think that would be so much more fun, because there just isn't the restraints and the expectation." Golding previously described being linked to the role of Bond as an "honour". However, the actor argued that the world is not yet ready for a non-white Bond. Golding – who was born in Malaysia, but raised in the UK – told Attitude magazine: "It does seem to be a question that always comes up. It was definitely from Crazy Rich Asians, maybe [the scene with] the white suit coming out the park. "I'm Asian and everybody's fighting for a diverse Bond – sorry, white guys." Golding said it's "great" that non-white actors are being linked to the role of Bond. And the actor admitted to being flattered to even have been spoken about as a possible candidate for the coveted part.

Isn't it great that people are like, 'Ok, now it's time, why the hell can't we have a black Bond, an Asian Bond, a mixed-race Bond, a non-distinct Bond?' "I don't know ... It's an honour to even be in the conversation."

Legendary 90s pop star who had a 'crippling alcohol addiction' warns celebs to be 'very afraid' over upcoming tell-all book
Nineties pop sensation Anthony Kavanagh is set to lift the lid on the darker side of stardom with his explosive new autobiography, Pop Scars - and he's warned the industry to brace itself. The singer, 47, who rose to fame under the name Kavana with hits like I Can Make You Feel Good and Crazy Chance, has hinted that no one is safe from the revelations in his upcoming book. Known for his boy-next-door image in the teen pop heyday, Anthony has since opened up about his struggles with addiction, revealing the personal cost of fame after finding success at just 16 years old. As the release of his tell-all book looms, some of his friends and acquaintances in the industry could be in for a shock. Back in 2017, the singer promised that he'd write a revealing memoir about his time in the music industry. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He told Attitude magazine: 'I am very excited about it. It's more of a memoir, I'll save the autobiography for when I'm older. 'It'll be warts [and all] and recalls what was happening back in the pop industry back in the 90s and when I went to live in Hollywood. 'There are some really outrageous stories that most people wouldn't know about. Yes, people should be afraid…very afraid.' And the former pop idol appears to be relishing the build-up as he took to his Instagram page on May 14 to tease fans with a glimpse of what's to come. He posted a snap of the cover of his book, featuring a imagine of the star at the height of his success. Anthony penned: 'Can't believe I'm saying this but I actually wrote a book. Like by myself, like those grown ups do. POP SCARS covers all things 90s pop but more importantly what happens AFTER fame.' The star continued: 'It's about teenage fame, loss, addiction and hope, and how not to iron a white Kappa tracksuit. 'It's been described as 'Laugh out loud, jaw dropping, and heartfelt' but you can decide that. The former pop idol appears to be relishing the build-up as he took to his Instagram page on May 14 to tease fans with a glimpse of what's to come in 'Come join the ride with me. More news to come. This is for the underdog.' After his pop career wrapped up, Anthony kept busy in the public eye, starring in Hollyoaks: In The City in 2006 and later competing as a finalist on the TV show Greece Is the Word in 2007. He also took part in Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, where he finished seventh. As for his personal life, Anthony shocked fans as he shared a swollen photo of himself at the peak of his alcohol addiction. The star has been sober for nearly three years and has been incredibly open about his struggles with addiction and his journey to recovery. And the artist admitted he was 'lost, broken and hopeless' during his crippling addiction. He wrote: 'On #addictionawarenessweek I want to make anyone struggling aware that recovery is possible. 20 months ago I was lost, broken and hopeless. 'Ask for help, I'm so glad I did. #Wedorecover #Noshame #addiction #youcandoit'. The singer documented his 2022 entry into rehab after sadly relapsing a year earlier. In February 2022, he took to Twitter to apologise to his family for not being 'truthful' as he admitted that alcoholism had 'got a grip on him' in an emotional post. The singer spoke of his 'mental struggles', before signing off social media for the foreseeable future. The statement read: 'Today I go into rehab. Again. This illness of Alcoholism has got its grip. I'll be off social media for a while. 'To what family I have left, I'm sorry I wasn't truthful I've been going through a lot of mental struggles. Good news I'm going to get the help I need. 'My phone will be off for a while. Clint, Aunty Angela, Aunty Maria, Brad, I'm going to be OK and I love you all madly x.'

Lady Gaga and Madonna rivalry reignited once again by competing Brazil crowds
Rivalry between Lady Gaga and Madonna has been reignited once again after the 'Bad Romance' singer broke a record for the most-attended free concert hosted by a female singer during her show at Copacabana beach in Brazil on Saturday (3 May). Gaga broke the record, which had previously been set by Madonna, when 2.1 million attendees flocked to Rio de Janeiro's shores for the concert as part of a promotional tour for her latest album, Mayhem. Madonna originally set the record when she gave a concert as part of her Celebration tour on Copacabana beach in May 2024, with 1.6 million attendees. Respective fans of the two artists have been using the new record set by Gaga as an opportunity to pit the two musicians against each other. One fan shared a picture of the crowd at Gaga's show, and wrote online, 'Oh Gaga you will never be Madonna,' to which another fan snapped back: 'She will never be Madonna because she's Lady Gaga – and she's far better.' Another person said that Gaga's new record is a testament to the success of her career. 'I don't think we fully grasp how massive this is… Madonna has a four-decade career that spans generations.. .Gaga managed to attract all in a short time and pull a bigger audience by a wide margin and no one might ever top this… she's a legend,' they wrote. Another more neutral fan chimed in, saying: 'I'm a Madonna fan since I was eight, and I love Gaga too, they both love each other too, why the confrontation?' When Gaga released her debut album The Fame in 2008, critics were quick to compare her to Madonna due to her avant-garde performance style and take on the pop genre. Both musicians have referenced the perceived rivalry between them, with the pair poking fun at the rumours when they appeared in a 2009 Saturday Night Live segment. Some fans argued that Gaga's 2011 song 'Born This Way' was an imitation of Madonna's 1989 song 'Express Yourself', and Madonna went on to call the song a 'blatant rip-off' and said it felt 'reductive' in an interview with Rolling Stone. Later she performed a mash-up of the two songs in her concerts. Gaga addressed this in a 2013 interview with Attitude Magazine, saying she was 'floored' that Madonna was singing her song. 'Madonna Ciccone was singing my song on stage and I'm 27! As a punk rocker from New York, I've basically been hoping that I would become so good that one day I would piss off Madonna!' she said. Gaga added: 'I'm certainly not thinking about anybody but me and my fans when I'm on stage. The fact that I was on her mind at all... I mean, Madonna's… she's Madonna. I looked up to her for a long time. I'm not quite sure what her intention was – to do that in the show – but I don't really care.' The 'Poker Face' singer addressed the criticism in her Netflix 2017 Netflix documentary, Five Foot Two, commenting: 'So the thing with me and Madonna for example, is that I admired her always. 'And I still admire her, no matter what she might think of me. She wouldn't look me in the eye and tell me that I was reductive or whatever… Telling me you think I'm a piece of s*** through the media? It's like a guy passing me a note through his friend.' The pair appeared to squash rumours of a feud between them in 2019, when they were photographed together at Madonna's Oscars afterparty.
