And it seems to have paid off. 6 Rita Ora says she has calmed down since she hosted a controversial party to celebrate her birthday Credit: The Mega Agency 6 Rita's new approach has led to her overhauling her lifestyle for the sake of her happiness and her health Credit: Instagram 6 Rita has been married to Hollywood director Taika Waititi for the past three years Credit: Getty She has just released song Heat, filmed movie Voltron with Superman actor Henry Cavill and this week posed in a bikini from her successful Primark collection. Rita said: 'My work ethic, I'm proud of it. I think it's higher than other people's in a lot of different ways. 'I always want to break boundaries and inspire people, that's always been my goal. 'And I do sacrifice a lot of things to do that, like I don't see my family as much. "I have lonely birthdays. I miss Christmases. It's a lot of sacrifices to do this. 'I just came off this three-and-a- half-month shoot in Australia for a huge film called Voltron, which is a big-budget movie. 'It's not easy doing these things and then also making a record on the weekends, which is the only days I have off. 'If you're willing to do the work, nothing is impossible. I really do believe people can do it all.' Her new attitude to life is a far cry from in her twenties when the Hot Right Now singer admits she was dazzled by the fame and fortune she had created for herself. It is perhaps why she thought it was acceptable to splash out thousands of pounds on her party at Casa Cruz, in London's Notting Hill, for all her mates when the UK was in its second strict Covid lockdown. 6 Rita flouted lockdown rules to throw an expensive party and was forced to pay a fine Credit: Eroteme 'Confident in my choices' Not only had the venue been paid to flout the rules, the star's security team had ordered the CCTV cameras to be turned off. Rita ended up paying a £10,000 fine. Talking about her hellraising days, Rita, who grew up in West London after her family moved there from Kosovo when she was a baby, admitted: 'I made money, I didn't come from money, and I just really was living every day like it was my last, with no care about what was going to happen the next day. 'I regret not being a bit more considerate, I would say, with myself, my body, my mental health, but also others. !I was always respectful and appreciative of others, but I was like, 'This is what we are doing and that's that'. 'I never really understood, I guess, how much responsibility I had for other people, like my fans, how much I inspire people or, I guess, the pressures we have to keep people on the right path. 'I think a lot of people were looking up at me, looking for me to give them a lot of answers, and I didn't mentally digest that. 'I was just living, going and going and not stopping. 'But it's hard for me too. I think for anyone in my position to wake up one day and you're like, 'Oh, wow, I have all these people that are depending on me to really give them inspiration'. I'm also human. 'But now I feel like it's something that I take pride in.' I don't want to stop feeling good. That's the one thing I care about. Rita Ora The backlash over her bash, after which her father give her a ticking-off - was the catalyst for change. On the Reign With Josh Smith podcast, Rita explained she felt 'old' and decided to get her 'life in check'. She said: 'When I turned 30 a lot changed. My body was just not reacting the same and I was not eating healthily. "I was getting sick all the time. I couldn't do more than two, three shows in a row - and usually I could do a whole week of shows if I needed to. 'I was like, 'OK, I want to just try to simply eat a little healthier'. So I would do cauliflower rice instead of rice. I would change things a little bit. Rita's routine 'I don't want to become a health guru or anything, but during that time I was really seeing my body reacting differently. 'And then I was like, 'Oh, let me lift some weights'. And now I'm really obsessed with my weekly routine.' That routine involves 'exercise, ginger shots and supplements' and being 'mentally present'. Rita says her mum Vera, a psychiatrist, helped too. The singer explained: 'She never forced therapy on us, but there was always that essence of maybe you should speak to somebody. 'And I did. Now I've just got really cool, great tools and I just feel more confident in my choices. I do have the best relationship with myself than ever before, I really do. 'It's also made other relationships stand out that were not healthy. "And those people now are angry, but that is their problem and not mine. 'I find that when you have that relationship with yourself, everything changes, you know? 'You find things come to you that you're like, 'Whoa, how have I blocked that out?'. But it's taken me a while, and I'm still working on it. "I don't want to stop feeling good. That's the one thing I care about.' 6 Rita says she is confident in all the life decisions she has made in recent years Credit: Alamy Happily married Rita, who married Hollywood filmmaker Taika Waititi, 49, in 2022, has also slowed down — after a fortune teller, who only works with high- profile clients, suggested she do this. She told the podcast: 'She said to me, 'Your life is like a pile of sand in your palm and it can go through your fingers at any moment'. 'It's about how you protect your one pile of life in the palm of your hand and make sure you move slowly and steadily. 'That always stuck with me. I used to rush to things and be like, 'I want it now'. 'I'm trying to move a bit more steadily and not react so much because once you react impulsively, it's usually something you'll end up regretting, right? 'I try my best to just take a second before I respond to things. And that's helped me a lot.' 6 Rita is excited about making a pop music return for latest single Heat, pictured with Will Smith Credit: Splash After a few years away from the charts, Rita's new summer hit Heat makes a return to unadulterated pop after her last, very personal, album You & I charted her romance and marriage to Taika. She said: 'My last record was amazing, in my opinion, because it had depth and a storyline, and it was about love. "I got married and I really was inspired by my relationship, and it just was where I was at in my life. "And now I'm at a point where I love my partner, love my relationship.' Laughing, Rita added: 'But f*** that. I just want to be in the moment and have fun and think about what I want to feel like when I'm in Ibiza with my friends, drinking a Chardonnay with ice, having the sun beaming down, SPF making me sweat. 'How do I want to feel when I'm drunk in the day? 'And that was how Heat happened. I had the best time making this record. 'I love the idea of the fact I'm speaking, it's like sex on sight, it's intentional, it's direct, it's kind of cheeky, it's rude, it's iconic.' Kind of like Rita herself.

Last Updated: The couple was spotted on the red carpet of the Taormina Film Festival in Taormina, Italy. Guess who's back in the spotlight? The new parents, Henry Cavill and his longtime girlfriend, Natalie Viscuso. On Wednesday, June 11, the couple was spotted on the red carpet of the Taormina Film Festival in Taormina, Italy. They arrived hand-in-hand for the event, which comes nearly six months after reports confirmed that Henry and Natalie had welcomed their first child. As reported by People, the Superman actor stepped out for the film festival in a classic black tuxedo paired with a white shirt and bow tie. Whereas the former My Super Sweet 16 star turned television executive attended the event in a chic floor-length flowy dress paired with silver heels and a messy bun. View this post on Instagram A post shared by معجبين هنري كافيل العرب | Arab Henry Cavill (@ The new parents were seen together at a public event for the first time since welcoming their baby. Back in January, reports confirmed that Henry Cavill and Natalie Viscuso had become parents after the couple was photographed pushing a stroller during an outing in Australia. At the time, Cavill was in the country filming his upcoming live-action movie Voltron and was spotted enjoying some downtime with his family. The couple has kept details about their child, including the name, gender, and date of birth, under wraps. They have also not made any official announcement regarding the birth. Back on Father's Day 2024, the 42-year-old actor shared a post where he confirmed the news of Natalie's pregnancy. He posted a selfie from his baby's room featuring a crib. Henry said, 'Oh yeah…..and Happy Father's Day ye dads out there. Turns out I shall be joining your hallowed ranks soon!" He added, 'And don't worry, pillows won't be in the crib when the wee one arrives, just glue and scapels so he or she can build Warhammer miniatures. #FathersDay." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Henry Cavill (@henrycavill) FYI, Henry made his relationship with Natalie, a producer at Vertigo Entertainment, public in 2021. Henry shared a picture on Instagram, playing chess with his girlfriend and wrote in the caption, 'This is me looking quietly confident shortly before my beautiful and brilliant love Natalie, destroys me at chess."

Warner Bros. Reportedly Eyed Michael Bay To Direct Henry Cavill Superman Sequel
The Man of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, could have gotten another solo outing on the silver screen, but the onboarding of James Gunn and Peter Safran as DC Studios co-heads put an end to the idea. Per The Wrap, Warner Bros. Pictures chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy were considering a 'standalone Henry Cavill-led Superman film going in 2022,' with Transformers helmer Michael Bay, who has never done a straight-up superhero movie before, in the director's chair. While it's unclear how far the deal went, the project was reportedly meant to be straightforward and without the entanglements that follow tie-ins, crossovers, or multiverse productions. The discussion took place between the departure of the previous head, Walter Hamada, and the induction of Gunn and Safran. In the same year, Cavill would step down as the titular superhero and set his sights on other franchise deals, including a live-action Voltron film adaptation, a Warhammer 40K series for Amazon, and a reboot of the 1986 classic Highlander . As for Bay, the filmmaker is set to debut his first-ever documentary, We Are Storror , at the 2025 SXSW (pronounced 'South by Southwest') festival. Next on his agenda list are Netflix's action title Fast and Loose , which will reunite him with Bad Boys star Will Smith, and a film adaptation of the classic arcade title OutRun starring Sydney Sweeney. But first, all eyes are on Gunn's upcoming Superman movie. This time, David Corenswet ( Twisters , Pearl ) is donning the cape, with Rachel Brosnahan ( The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ) and Nicholas Hoult (the X-Men films) playing Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, respectively. The superhero flick is one of the six live-action big-screen projects planned for Chapter One of the rebooted cinematic universe, followed by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in June 2026, Clayface in September 2026, The Authority (TBA), The Brave and the Bold , and Swamp Thing . It hits theatres on 10 July. Si Jia is a casual geek at heart – or as casual as someone with Sephiroth's theme on her Spotify playlist can get.
