Meet The Star Studded Cast Of Dolly Alderton's Pride And Prejudice
It's been three years since the TV adaption of Dolly Alderton's bestselling book Everything I Know About Love was released. And now, she is treating us to a brand new adaption of Pride and Prejudice. Yep, that's right. Jane Austen's notorious love story is getting a millennial spin. Dolly is producing the show alongside director Euros Lyn, who was the brains behind teen romance Heartstopper, with production for the show officially underway. And this couldn't be more timely. The book celebrates the 250th anniversary of the author's birthday, and its popularity is only increasing among a new generation of Austen fans. In a first glimpse of the show, Netflix has revealed a photograph and also the supporting cast members. 'Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it,' Alderton said in a statement. 'Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life.'

Create Account At least, that's according to Megyn Kelly, who took a swipe at the Euphoria star's chest size being the reason she attended the star-studded wedding of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and former Extra anchor Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy. 'How does she wind up there?' the journalist asked on Monday's episode of The Megyn Kelly Show. 'Sydney Sweeney's the new toast of the town out there because she's got these enormous breasts that everybody's obsessed with,' Kelly noted. The SiriusXM host slammed the bride and groom 'like they thought they were royalty,' and mocked Sanchez's balcony wave and blowing kisses 'like she's a Marilyn [Monroe] figure or a genuine British royal.' As for the wedding guests, Kelly was also flabbergasted by who made the list's cut, and accused Bezos and Sánchez of surrounding themselves with famous faces — not actual friends.

'If you told me it was like Lauren Sánchez's colleagues from the first news station she worked at, sure, that's normal. That's what a true friend would do, invite their lifelong friends,' the SiriusXM host acknowledged. RECOMMENDED VIDEO 'Or, Jeff Bezos when he first opened Amazon, yeah, OK, I get it. Even Bill Gates was there, I'll give him that one, huge fellow tech titan,' she continued. 'They don't know Gayle King,' Kelly insisted. 'They invited Gayle on that ridiculous space flight so they could get some news coverage on CBS. And now, because she did it, she's at the wedding?' She added: 'Oprah? They don't know Oprah — that's a lie too. Oprah went and watched Gayle go up in this thing. So now she gets an invite. Why? Because she's a celebrity.'

While the Sweeney connection to both Bezos and Sanchez remains a mystery, one source told the New York Post that the 28-year-old actress is set to star in an upcoming movie for the billionaire's Amazon MGM Studios. The insider said that Sweeney 'is not friends with either one of them,' but attended the three-day extravaganza 'to pay respects to the 'boss,' just like in the old days of Hollywood.' Sweeney joined a plethora of A-list attendees including members of the Kardashian and Jenner clan, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio. Read More Brady may have even shot his shot with Sweeney, with TMZ reporting that the retired NFL quarterback was seen 'spending some time chatting up' the Anyone But You star. Sweeney is single, fresh off her split from producer and businessman Jonathan Davino. They began dating in 2018, he proposed in 2022 but in February, they reportedly postponed their wedding date. She confirmed the split in May in an interview with the U.K. Times after months of speculation. Toronto Blue Jays News Editorial Cartoons World Celebrity

John Cena, 48, packs on the PDA with glamorous wife Shay Shariatzadeh, 36, as couple make a rare appearance at Heads of State screening in London
John Cena shared a smooch with his glamorous wife Shay Shariatzadeh as they attended a special screening of his new film Heads of State in London on Tuesday. The American actor, 48, looked more loved-up than ever with Shay, 36, as they posed for photos together at the screening held at the BFI Southbank. The professional wrestler cut a dapper figure in a black and white pinstriped suit which he teamed with a smart white shirt and a matching tie. Coordinating with her husband, engineer Shay, whom John married in 2020, looked stunning in a black minidress which boasted an eye catching large white bow. She put on a leggy display in a pair of stilettos and accessorised with a pair of chic pearl drop earrings. The couple - who are very private about their relationship - were also joined by his co-star Priyanka Chopra Jonas, 42, who turned heads in a plunging black dress. The actress looked sensational in the halterneck number which boasted a beige floral design and showed off her amazing figure. She elevated her frame in a pair of black strappy sandals as she flashed her gorgeous smile while posing for photos. The Amazon Prime Video action-comedy Heads Of State follows John starring as a blockbuster action star who later becomes the President of the United States. He will appear alongside Idris Elba, who plays a former commando who rises to become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but despite his country's longstanding 'special relationship' with the US, the two world leaders have an ongoing rivalry. Their differences don't last long though when both become the targets of a global conspiracy, and Priyanka joins the fray as an MI6 agent who is ordered to keep the two leaders out of harm's way. It comes after John's ex-fiance Nikki Garcia recalled reuniting him for the first time seven years after calling off their engagement in 2018. The WWE wrestler - who recently broke her silence on her brutal divorce payout to Artem Chigvintsev - opened up about the topic on the recent episode of the Honestly Cavallari podcast. It had been recorded back in March during Kristin Cavallari's podcast tour when Nikki and her twin sister Brie featured as guests. The former couple had crossed paths at 2025 Royal Rumble in early February 'seven [or] eight years' after they had last seen each other. 'It was very quick,' she expressed, adding that it had been so out of 'respect' since the fellow pro wrestler is a 'married man' now - referring to his wife Shay. 'I was in a circle talking to people. He came to [shake] everyone's hand. He shook my hand,' Nikki said. Host Kristin told Nikki she was surprised they did not hug, which prompted the TV personality to affirm that it had only been a handshake. 'We just said, "Hello, good to see you. I think last time we were engaged. I don't know. It's been a while,"' the star remembered. 'But the thing was, when he walked away, all the girls were like, "Oh my gosh." I'm like, "Shh, shh, He's married, be respectful." And that was it.' While the interaction was brief, Nikki expressed that it had been 'nice' and added: 'It was great because breaking the ice and you know, we just both happened to be back at the same time. It's a good feeling.' Kristin then teased: 'Everyone wants you guys to be together.' But the mom-of-one quickly changed the subject by responding with, 'Oh, gosh. Oh, next question!' Nikki and John first began dating in 2012 but it later emerged that he had made her sign an alleged 75-page contract before they moved in together. Some of the bizarre demands included her 'being a "guest" in his home' and that they both have the 'same morning and evening routine.'. Five years into their relationship, John got down on one knee and popped the big question to Nikki - during WrestleMania 33 in 2017. At the time, he had announced in front of the crowd: 'I have been waiting so long to ask you this. Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace, will you marry me?' She said yes to the proposal, which resulted in the audience in the venue to let out excited cheers. However the following year, the pair split and ended their engagement. Their wedding had already been scheduled for May 2018 which was cancelled. John has since remarried Shay and the couple keep their romance very private, with the star revealing why on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast last year. He shared: 'One of the promises I made to her on the altar was, "I will never put you or I'll do my best to not put you in an undue harm's way". 'So a lot of it is just about genuine safety. And it's not to say that everyone out there has bad intentions or we'd ever run into someone bad, but you also never know when someone feels threatened. 'If my wife, who is my travel partner and partner in life, now feels unsafe or uncomfortable in all these new places we go, I got another hurdle to climb in my personal life. 'It's just an exercise in the strength of boundaries and the value of boundaries.' They were first romantically linked when they were seen on a dinner date in Vancouver in March 2019, where John was filming Playing With Fire.

BBC Radio 2 in chaos after Vernon Kay gets 'trapped'
BBC Radio 2 in chaos after Vernon Kay gets 'trapped' BBC Radio 2 presenter Vernon Kay missed the start of his show on Tuesday, July 1, after his train broke down, with frantic arrangements having to be made Vernon Kay attends the UK Premiere of "A Complete Unknown" at BFI Southbank (Image: 2025 Dave Benett ) BBC Radio 2's Vernon Kay was notably absent from the start of his show on Tuesday, July 1, finding himself "trapped" on a malfunctioning train. The broadcaster, aged 51, was due to begin his programme at 9.30am but encountered travel woes when his train ground to a halt. Sara Cox, who had been hosting Scott Mills' breakfast slot, extended her airtime to fill in for Kay, reports the Mirror. On Instagram, Kay updated his followers with the news that the "train isn't training! !" and requested Cox to "hang fire". Cox, hailing from the same hometown of Bolton as Kay, informed BBC Radio 2 listeners: "Oh no, I've just realised I'm not gonna be in time for reformer Pilates." She joked with the audience, saying: "If you just joined in and you're thinking Vernon is sounding a little extra-manly today, don't worry. It's me: Sara, from the same area obviously, though famously." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Describing Kay's predicament, she added, "Vernon, poor Vernon stuck on a hot, sweaty train with no coffee, no air-con, no deodorant. So he's going to get in at some point, hopefully." Listeners were assured by Cox that Gary Davies would step in at 10am. Upon taking the reins, Davies explained: "If you just tuned in and were wondering were Vernon is, he was on his train like usual and the train broke down and so he has been in sweltering hot heat and they had to send a rescue train which also broke down." Article continues below Vernon on the train (Image: Instagram ) Kay himself kept his Instagram audience in the loop about his increasingly warm commute, posting a picture looking rather uncomfortable and captioning it with a plea for assistance: "The train isn't training," and "Hang fire @djsaracox @bbcradio2. "Send deodorant and coffee." Later on, Kay's journey took a turn for the better as the train's air conditioning was restored. "Aircon is back on! ! !" he shared with his followers, alongside a photo where he appeared somewhat more cheerful. Vernon announcing that the aircon is back on (Image: Instagram ) With a heatwave hitting parts of England, London's temperatures are set to soar to 34C on Tuesday, as forecasted by the Met Office. On the radio, Davis played two voice messages from Kay in which he expressed gratitude to the presenter for filling in and referred to him as a "gentleman". Kay also conveyed: "We are trapped on the train. We are still not in good spirits but we are trying Gary, we really are trying. All the best." Ken Bruce, who formerly presented on BBC Radio 2, seemed to encounter a similar predicament when his train broke down on Tuesday. Bruce took to social media platform X to inform his audience about the delay, apologising for being late to his show on Greatest Hits Radio due to the train malfunction. In 2023, Kay stepped into Ken Bruce's shoes to host the mid-morning weekday programme on BBC Radio 2. Article continues below
