Graham Norton reveals details of his biggest show yet
Graham Norton has said his new big prizemoney reality TV show The Neighbourhood is the biggest thing he has ever been associated with. The Irish chat show host, author and comedian will present the new ITV programme, which airs next year and which sees six households compete for a £250,000 while living in a lakeside housing development in Darbyshire. Speaking on the Brendan O'Connor Show on RTÉ Radio 1 on Saturday morning, Norton said, "It's mad. It's the biggest thing I've ever been associated with. "It's these houses around a lake in Darbyshire and real households move into them and they live there 24/7, being filmed all the time, and they also have to play these epic challenges and at the end one of the families wins a quarter of a million pounds. "It's life-affirming. None of the households is the villain. Equally, it was competitive in a way I didn't expect it to be at the beginning but there are only six households and you're close to the prize from day one. There was a bit of people turning on each other but I really liked all the households and I wasn't expecting to." Speaking about is annual summer stay in West Cork, where his mother Rhona still lives, 62-year-old Norton, who married his husband Jonathan McLeod in 2022, said his visits became a big part of his life when he bought his own house in the area. "That was about 15 years ago and now we go back as much as we can because it's a lovely part of the world. I love driving in and the tyres are on the gravel and you turn the engine in the car off and everything just disperses and it's so weightless. It's gorgeous. "I'm a lazy version of myself when I'm there. I do less." Norton will again host the annual table quiz at the end of July and he will be taking part in the West Cork Literary Festival to speak about his new book, Frankie.

Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff Look All Loved Up While on a Boat in Venice
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Billie Eilish has a new romance in her life. The 'Lunch' singer's relationship history includes everyone from 2 Little Monsters actor Matthew Tyler Vorce, to The Neighbourhood singer Jesse Rutherford, to internet star Quenlin Blackwell, and now, she seems to be dating actor and musician Nat Wolff. Wolff, like Eilish, grew up in the entertainment industry. His mother is actress, writer, director, and producer Polly Draper, and his father is the jazz pianist Michael Wolff. Inspired by their parents, Wolff and his brother, Alex, began acting and singing when they were just kids. They starred in Nickelodeon's The Naked Brothers Band (produced by his mom and with music supervised by his dad) and even went on tour to promote it. Wolff's other acting credits include The Fault in Our Stars (2014), Paper Towns (2015), Stella's Last Weekend (2018), and Mainstream (2020). Now, he and his brother are focused on their music. As pop-rock duo Nat & Alex Wolff, they have released two studio albums and even joined Eilish on her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour last year. Ahead, everything we know Wolff and Eilish's relationship. Despite sources previously denying rumors that Eilish and Wolff are dating, the musicians are seen kissing on a balcony in Venice, Italy, and enjoying some champagne. The pair enjoys a boat ride in Venice, Italy, while in casual outfits. The two are seen cuddling and laughing, and at one point, Wolff leans over to give Eilish a kiss on the cheek. The pair seem to have a date night in Manhattan—first going to see a play at Lucille Lortel Theater, and then going bar-hopping in the East Village. See the photos here. Wolff and brother Alex join Eilish's Hit Me Hard and Soft tour as the opening act, and soon, rumors that Wolff is involved with Eilish emerge. In an interview published on October 2024, Wolff says of Eilish: 'She's one of those people where almost everything she does, she does better than everyone else. She's like, 'Come see me ride my horse,' and the teacher says, 'You know, if she put all her energy into it, she could go to the Olympics.' You just have to kind of submit to the fact that she's going to be better than everyone else at everything.' Wolff makes an appearance in Eilish's 'CHIHIRO' music video—and they look great running together in coordinating baggy fits. Wolff and Eilish meet at the 2023 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles. Wolff reveals this fact in an interview months later, when he says that they bonded over the fact that they both have Tourette's syndrome.

Inside Billie Eilish's Dating History Amid Rumored Romance With Nat Wolff: Jesse Rutherford and More
Billie Eilish appears to be involved in a lovely new romance. The 'Ocean Eyes' singer fueled romance rumors with former Nickelodeon star Nat Wolff in June 2025, when the pair was spotted sharing a kiss in Venice, Italy. Their outing came three months after Eilish and Wolff had fans questioning the nature of their relationship when they reportedly left the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards together and spent time with each other in New York City. Us Weekly reached out to reps for both Eilish and Wolff for comment. If a romance is blossoming between Eilish and Wolff, it would seemingly be the Grammy winner's first public relationship since she was romantically linked to The Neighbourhood singer Jesse Rutherford in 2022. Prior to her year-long romance with Rutherford, she dated actor Matthew Tyler Vorce and rapper Brandon Quentin Adams, whom she called 'Q.' Billie Eilish and Jesse Rutherford's Relationship Timeline: The Way They Were Scroll down for a closer look at Eilish's dating history. Eilish quietly dated Adams, who goes by the stage name 7:AMP, for less than one year. The singer's 2021 AppleTV+ documentary, Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry, showcased both the highs and lows of their relationship. In one scene, Eilish told Adams she loved him. In another, she angrily threw her phone after he told her that he would 'try' to come see her. Eilish and Adams' split was also shown in the documentary. "I just wasn't happy. I didn't want the same things he wanted, and I don't think that's fair for him. I don't think you should be in a relationship, super excited about things that the other person couldn't care less about," she said. Eilish continued, "There was just a lack of effort. I was literally like, 'Dude, you don't have enough love to love yourself, so you can't love me, dude. And you don't. [laughs] You think you do.'' See Which Celebrity Couples Have Surprisingly Big Age Differences Eilish sparked dating rumors with Vorce in April 2021 after the two were spotted getting coffee in California. The pair never publicly discussed their relationship while they were dating, but Vorce spoke out about his split from Eilish in May 2022. "Nobody cheated on anyone,' he wrote on his Instagram Stories at the time. 'Relationships end. Simple as that. Creating rumors and LYING on the internet is dangerous.' In another post, Vorce wrote, "The fact that thousands of people take time out of their day to write the most heinous things on someone they will never knows post is the most cowardly thing you can possibly do. Live your own life.' Eilish also told Vanity Fair in 2022 that she was 'extremely grateful' for the relationship. 'I think he's so much happier now which makes me really happy," she added. Eilish and Rutherford were first spotted together on a dinner date in October 2022. The former couple was also photographed kissing outside a restaurant in L.A. Though they faced backlash for their 10-year age gap, Eilish and Rutherford proved that the criticism didn't bother them when they dressed as a baby and an old man for Halloween 2022. In November, Eilish and Rutherford made their red carpet debut at the LACMA Art + Film Gala, wearing matching pajama-inspired outfits. "It's really cool. I'm really excited and I'm really happy about it,' Eilish told Vanity Fair of the romance later that year. 'Can we just [get a] round of applause for me? Thank you, Jesse Rutherford, everyone." In May 2023, a rep for Eilish confirmed that she and Rutherford had called it quits. 'We can confirm Billie and Jesse did split amicably and remain good friends,' the rep said. 'All cheating rumors are false. Both are currently single.' One year later, Eilish told Rolling Stone that Rutherford was 'one of [her] favorite people in the world." Billie Eilish Says Jesse Rutherford Is Her 'Homie Forever' 3 Months After Split Wolff appeared in Eilish's June 2024 music video for 'Chihiro' and opened for her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour alongside brother Alex Wolff later that year. Eilish and Wolff sparked dating rumors in March 2025, when they reportedly left the iHeartRadio Music Awards together and hung out in NYC together days later. The romance rumors continued in June 2025, when a photo shared by DeuxMoi showed Wolff pulling Eilish in for a kiss in Venice, Italy. Another snap showed Eilish seemingly taking a photo of Wolff as he held a champagne glass and leaned over a balcony.

JD Sports and adidas lead with local culture in their ‘SMU campaign'
JD Sports fashion and adidas' partnered for a nostalgic campaign driven by culture-first storytelling and a clear goal to connect with the region's youth through an authentic lens. This campaign brought the story closer to home. 'Our insights highlighted the strong performance of localised campaigns in the region, consistently showing deeper consumer engagement and stronger results. This reinforced the importance of crafting a narrative rooted in local culture – something that feels familiar, authentic, and relevant to our audience,' said Eugene Karasev, adidas Senior Brand Director, EMC. As a result of this approach Mehak Nanda, Brand Marketing Manager, GMG found that, 'The campaign sparked a sense of nostalgia among younger audiences, even those who hadn't grown up in Dubai, highlighting how shared cultural aesthetics across the Middle East can create emotional connections across generations.' The campaign rollout spanned JD's social platforms, META ads and in-store touchpoints, including digital screens and POSMs across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and Kuwait. It targeted Gen Z and young adults (ages 13–30) in the UAE, especially those passionate about streetwear, sneaker culture, and lifestyle fashion, with a strong inclination toward brands that reflect their identity and environment. Many are digital natives who value authenticity over aspiration. The creative approach reflects that energy. To bring the story to life, the team developed 'The Neighbourhood' – a fictional but familiar setting inspired by youth culture in the region. Shot in a heritage-style Dubai neighbourhood, the visuals capture raw textures and tones that feel culturally rooted and visually compelling. The storyline follows a local artist navigating the city in standout adidas sneakers, crossing paths with a cast of creatives who appear throughout. The campaign zeroes in on JD's exclusive styles – known as SMUs. 'The narrative was shaped by the first-hand stories and lived experiences of third culture kids – those who grew up in old Dubai, spent time in its backstreets, and witnessed the city evolve around them. This was a passion project and a localised campaign launch fuelled by memory, community, and a genuine desire to portray the region in its truest form,' says Nanda. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JD Sports Middle East (@jdsportsme) Influencers were carefully selected for their connection to local communities and relevance within the adidas originals universe. The campaign featured a mix of regional micro-influencers – from artists and athletes to fashion creatives – selected for their genuine ties to community and culture. The result was bold, energetic content that reflected the sneaker culture through the lens of music and sport as well as regional identity. 'Influencer marketing played a key role in the campaign. The cast featured a curated group of local micro-influencers – spanning music, fashion, and multisport – who are well-known within their communities. These talents were chosen not only to reflect adidas Originals' deep ties to culture and creativity but also to ensure the campaign felt grounded in the region, bringing an added layer of authenticity and local relevance to the storytelling,' said Karasev. 'We handpicked a diverse mix of talent from the local community – it wasn't about influencer reach but about authentically highlighting JD's connection to music, fashion, and art in the region. We also created some fun behind-the-scenes content, styling reels, and location shoutouts (rolling out soon!) to further amplify the community-first message,' says Nanda. At the same time, the partnership focused on converting that awareness into sales by creating demand through impactful, locally resonant storytelling. According to Karasev, the primary goal of the campaign was to drive awareness around adidas and JD exclusives, positioning them as must-have drops within the region. 'The campaign was driven by JD's reputation for exclusive product offerings – known as SMUs – which are spotlighted through their signature 'Only at JD' callouts. These styles are central to JD's global and regional success and consistently resonate with consumers, yet there's often limited content to support them,' says Karasev. 'With both JD and adidas' growing footprint in the Middle East, this partnership presented a timely opportunity to spotlight adidas SMUs through a fresh, localised lens. The goal was to craft premium, bespoke content that not only captures the essence of both brands but also speaks directly to our regional audience. By delivering an always-on content approach across our partner's channels, the campaign reinforces the message of exclusivity while driving demand and differentiation in a highly competitive market,' said Karasev. 'Rooted in the streets of our region, it brings together adidas Originals' spirit of individuality with JD's 'King of the Streets' attitude,' says Nanda. The campaign is currently live across all JD stores and will run until the end of June 2025. It was launched across JD's social channels, META ads and in-store platforms, including POSMs and digital screens across key regional markets – UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and Kuwait. 'While the campaign is still live and the full report is in progress. We're primarily tracking reach and sell-through as key performance indicators,' said Karasev. As the market continues to demand deeper, more meaningful connections, this campaign suggests one thing loud and clear – when it comes to exclusivity, context is everything.

Who is Nat Wolff? Billie Eilish's rumored new boyfriend spotted kissing her in Italy
Billie Eilish and Nat Wolff were spotted sharing a passionate kiss during a romantic getaway to Venice, Italy. According to photos obtained by DeuxMoi on Sunday, the pair, both dressed casually in gray T-shirts, were seen kissing on a balcony while sipping champagne, looking completely at ease together. Speculation about their relationship first surfaced in March, when the 23-year-old Hit Me Hard and Soft singer was seen out in New York City with the 30-year-old actor and musician. Nat Wolff is an American actor and musician born on December 17, 1994, in Los Angeles. He rose to fame as a teen on the Nickelodeon series The Naked Brothers Band, a mockumentary-style show created by his mother, Polly Draper. He starred alongside his younger brother, Alex Wolff. Wolff went on to act in several movies, including The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns, and Death Note, among others. In addition to acting, he has pursued music with his brother, releasing albums like Black Sheep, Public Places, and Table for Two. Wolff appeared alongside Billie Eilish in the 2024 music video for her song 'Chihiro,' which she directed herself. He also opened for Eilish during the North American leg of her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour in 2024. Eilish, who publicly came out as bisexual, has previously been linked to rapper Brandon "Q" Adams and actor Matthew Tyler Vorce. Her most public relationship was with The Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford, whom she dated from 2022 to 2023. In her 2022 Vanity Fair interview, Eilish openly gushed about Rutherford 'Yeah, I do [have a boyfriend now],' she said. 'And it's really cool, and I'm really excited, and I'm really happy about it. I managed to get my way to a point in my life … where I not only was known by a person that I thought was the hottest fucking fucker alive, but pulled his ass. Are you kidding me? Can we just—round of applause for me. Thank you! Jesse Rutherford, everyone! I pulled his ass—all me! I did that shit. I locked that motherfucker down.' The couple split up in May 2023.
