Despite her 15 minutes of fame ending a long time ago, Katie Waissel is still continuing to slag off Cheryl Fernandez-Versini to anyone who will listen.

The former ‘X Factor’ contestant has launched a fresh attack at her mentor from the 2010 series, branding her a “pr**k” and “not a very nice human”.

Speaking to Star magazine, Katie claimed that Cheryl has only returned to the show “for the money”, advising other contestants to avoid being mentored by her.

"People think that I have this huge grudge against Cheryl. And granted, I do. I'm p***ed off for various reasons. If you ask me, she is fake as s**t,” she said.

"I just think there's no substance to her. She can be very abrupt and rude. I don't think she's a very nice human.

"My advice to anyone who's going to be on the show would be to f*****g beg to get someone else as mentor."

The singer also revealed that she warned Rita Ora - who is apparently a friend of hers (who knew?) - about Cheryl when she signed up to the show earlier this year.

"I said Cheryl is a pr**k, and Rita was like, 'Oh, s**t really?' Because she asked what doing the show was like,” she explained

"I told her I hung out with Simon [Cowell] and Louis Walsh, and Cheryl sat with her Benson and Hedges in her dressing room staring at her diamonds. Rita, if you ever lose Cheryl, that's where she is!"

The pair’s feud started when the Geordie claimed she’d only put Katie through to the live shows to “make good TV” in her 2012 autobiography.

Katie hit back on Twitter, writing: “@cherylcole I thought you were better than this. Shame I trusted you. you live and you learn.”

She then followed up her comments in a column for new! magazine, writing: “I felt a bit sorry for Cheryl because she didn't have the balls to man up and say something. But I take that as a compliment. If she thinks that I boost ratings then f**k yeah, it means I'm somebody to watch.”

11 Times Ricky Gervais Spoke Out Against Animal Cruelty

Back in 2014, notorious funny man Ricky Gervais said: "Animals don't have a voice.

"But I do. A loud one. I'm a fucking big mouth. My voice is for them. And I'll never shut up while they suffer."

And he's certainly lived up to his word.

He's called fox-hunters "posh twats", supported the petition opposing the puppy farm, he's been on a Twitter rant about the dog meat festival in South Korea and stood up against those who go on hunting safaris.

Here's our pick of the top 12 times Ricky Gervais has spread a little animal love and made the world a better place...

When he said what everyone was thinking about Sea World

I've just discovered a Sea World that has loads of room where the whales and dolphins are happy. It's called the sea.

Posted by Ricky Gervais on Saturday, 21 February 2015


And laughed in the face of the Government's fox-hunting vote

The vote on whether to relax the hunting has been dropped in the face of probable defeat. Well done everyone. We won.

Posted by Ricky Gervais on Tuesday, 14 July 2015


That time he took down leisure hunters



And got deep about his proudest moments



When he called anyone who abuses animals 'scum'

I never understood animal cruelty. I was always shocked when I heard of another disgusting abuse. Then it struck me. Some people are scum.

Posted by Ricky Gervais on Friday, 17 July 2015


That time he tweeted out an actual photo of karma



When he went in on the girl who took photos with dead animals






When he kissed puppies in a rescue home

Visit your local rescue centre this weekend. They're full of new best friends who need a forever home. Pup Aid

Posted by Ricky Gervais on Saturday, 18 July 2015


That time he wrote an open letter to the intelligent people of the world



When he hilariously applauded hunters for their non-existent skills



And that time that he just posted a cute photo of a dog, because why wouldn't you?

"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep in there tonight?"

'Coronation Street': Connor Family To Welcome Two New Arrivals, Richard Hawley and Faye Brookes

‘Coronation Street’ bosses have announced that there will be two new arrivals in Weatherfield, as extended members of the Connor family will be making their way t’cobbles.

‘Prime Suspect’ star Richard Hawley and Faye Brookes, who is married to Gareth Gates, will be playing John and Kate Connor.




John and Kate will be the dad and sister of Shayne Ward’s character Aidan, who is the cousin of Michelle, played by Kym Marsh.

While Shayne will make his soap debut in August, his on-screen family won’t be in our lives until the following month, when they turn up after hearing about Aidan’s investment in Underworld.

The plot will tie in with Carla Connor’s (Alison King) ongoing troubles, and in the coming weeks, viewer will see Carla unravel as she struggles to cope with gambling and alcohol addiction.

‘Corrie’ bosses have teased details of the new arrivals, revealing that Johnny will already be familiar with a number of Weatherfield residents.

Shayne will make his debut next week


"The ongoing joke is that 'everybody knows Johnny Connor' and it's not far from the truth,” a statement published on Digital Spy explains.

"He's got a big personality and revels in his well-earned reputation as a man who means business. He adores his kids and though he and Aidan constantly row, their love is obvious. Funny, charming, ruthless in business, Johnny is the sort of guy you'd be proud to call a friend.

"Kate is a funny and vibrant young woman full of fun and mischief. But behind the teasing and laughter, Kate is passionate about her family - there is nothing she wouldn't do for them."

It’s been an emotional few weeks in ‘Corrie’ and earlier this month, the Street said a final farewell to Deirdre Barlow, following Anne Kirkbride’s death.

The tear-jerker scenes were witnessed by over 7.5 million viewers.

Kim Kardashian Accidentally Embroils Herself In Taylor Swift And Nicki Minaj's Twitter Spat Over MTV VMA Nominations

You can often count on Kim Kardashian to slip up somehow, and the star found herself in hot water again on Tuesday (21 July) night, as she got caught up in Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj’s Twitter spat.

READ MORE:


The reality star accidentally ended up throwing some serious shade at Taylor, as she and Nicki went to war over the MTV VMA nominations announcement.

Kim took to the social networking site to share snaps from her makeup free photo shoot for Vogue Spain, captioning one of the snaps: “Imma let you finish but…”

The tweet could not have been more badly timed, as fans of the VMAs, will remember this is the line that her husband Kanye West used to interrupt Taylor’s acceptance speech at the 2009 ceremony, when she won the award for Best Female Video over Beyonce.

As fans quickly pointed this out to her, Kim then insisted that she was not trying to get involved in Nicki and Taylor’s feud.

She tweeted: “Wait wait I'm in Paris it's the middle of the night & I'm posting my Vogue Spain pics not having a clue what's going on in the music world, adding:




Upon the announcement of the nominations on Tuesday, Nicki took to Twitter to question why her video for ‘Feeling Myself’ had not received any nods.

"Hey guys @MTV thank you for my nominations. Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or...?” she wrote.

"If I was a different 'kind' of artist, Anaconda would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well.

"When the 'other' girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination.

"If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.

"I'm not always confident. Just tired. Black women influence pop culture so much but are rarely rewarded for it (sic). "

Taylor, who was nominated for nine awards, believed Nicki’s rant was directed at her, and hit back: "I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.."

Nicki replied: "Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this.

"I'm still confused as to why u just tweeted me when I made it abundantly clear..."

Taylor later tried to diffuse the situation by telling Nicki: "If I win, please come up with me!! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on."

Nicki Minaj VS Taylor Swift, Meek Mills VS Drake, Ed Sheeran VS Bruno Mars: Twitter Is Imploding With Celeb Feuds

Twitter is imploding with celebrity feuds. Nicki Minaj is having a pop at Taylor Swift, Meek Mill is slaying Drake, Ed Sheeran is throwing shade at Bruno Mars and Zayn Malik is calling Naughty Boy names.

It's all too much drama to handle. But lucky for you, we've worked out what's going on, so you don't have to.

You're welcome.

Nicki Minaj VS Taylor Swift
On the surface, this feud is about VMA nominations. Swift is up for Video of the Year for 'Bad Blood', and Minaj is pretty angry that her controversial 'Anaconda' video hasn't got a look in. Awks.










If you dig a little deeper, it turns out Minaj was actually trying to comment on the history of racism and white privilege in the music industry. She retweeted this fan who had her back:




At some point, Kim Kardashian thought it was time to get involved with a photo of her bum and a Kanye quote (obvs). She deleted the tweet, but this is the internet. You can't just delete stuff and expect it to be gone.
kim

Meek Mill VS Drake
Why would you ever even take on Drake in a Twitter fight when everyone knows that his fans are the most loyal in the world? Just why, Meek Mill?

So, apparently Drake doesn't write his own lyrics, and that's why he refused to share a link to Meek Mill's album.










Apparently Drake responded then deleted the tweet...



Zayn Malik VS Naughty Boy
It seems like only yesterday Zayn was walking away from One Direction... And straight into the recording studio with producer Naughty Boy, who did that 'La La La' song with Sam Smith.

Anyway, Naughty Boy posted one of Zayn's solo tracks on Twitter and sent the One Direction fandom into a frenzy. But now, it appears that the pair aren't working together anymore, as Zayn tweeted this...




Powerful stuff. Naughty Boy never responded, despite One Direction fans constantly bombarding him with tweets like this:



Ed Sheeran VS Bruno Mars
Basically poor little Bruno was feeling a bit left out of all the action, so he decided to have a pop at Ed Sheeran for absolutely no reason whatsoever.




He was made to regret it pretty quickly though...









To summarise, we're all feeling like this:

EXCLUSIVE: 'Southpaw' Jake Gyllenhaal Says Brutality Of Boxing Doesn't Disturb Him, Finds Boxers To Be 'Highly Sensitive'

Jake Gyllenhaal, who gives a heroic performance in boxing film ‘Southpaw’, reveals he has fallen in love with the sport, the brutality of it doesn’t bother him, and he finds fighters operating at championship level to have a “sensitivity of the highest level”.

Click here to see Jake's jaw-dropping workout for his role in 'Southpaw'

Jake, who plays down-on-his-luck former champion Billy Hope, trained for five months to get into shape for the role, and tells HuffPostUK of his fresh appreciation for the sport and its proponents:

“I find boxers to be really sensitive. I think the sport of boxing and the guys who do it have intuition at the highest level.

Jake Gyllenhaal trained for five months, twice a day, to get in shape for 'Southpaw'


“When you see the egos and all that bling they do, I see that as them just walking into battle, but you can’t dismiss the sensitivity. This is a science, boxing. You’re not just going in there with whatever you can get, trying to tear each other up. It’s a science of angles.”

Jake speaks calmly and quietly, his manner belying his strong opinions and clear passion for this kind of physical contest.

“I’m not bothered by the physical brutality of it,” he admits. “There are serious side effects and I can understand how that is disturbing. But there’s a science, and it’s an expression.

Billy Hope must build his life again, with the help of Tick Wills (Forest Whitaker)


“I was at the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, yes, there was a lot of money exchanged, and at a certain point, there’s a lot of skepticism. And yes, it’s never said that it’s an honest sport, I don’t think that’s been said once.

“But for me, it’s all about the technique, the science and the metaphor. You walk in with your skill, and the amount of time that you’ve practised, and you walk in really facing yourself.”

The film’s appeal depends entirely on the commitment of Jake to the role of ravaged Billy, a former champion who loses everything – his money, his family, his home and status – and must work to get it all back, with the aid of amateur trainer Tick Wills, played sagely by Forest Whitaker.

For Jake, this meant two workouts a day for five months, with his director Antoine Fuqua even building a training ring for him at the production office in Pittsburgh. “I knew, because of the way Antoine wanted to film it, I wouldn’t be able to get away with any shortcuts,” is Jake’s modest appraisal of his stunning performance.

southpaw

Just as moving are the scenes between Billy Hope and his daughter. Jake isn’t a father himself, but describes there being children in his life he would do anything for. He adds:

“I don’t know what it’s like to be a parent, but I love them and I would do anything for them. Plus, any child I see at this point in my life, I feel like I would do anything for. When I was younger, I could dismiss a kid easily because I was a kid myself, but at a certain point in your life, you look around and see how extraordinary they are, and I really feel that.”

The film has already performed well at the US box office and will surely garner attention come Awards Season, but I wonder, after such a long-drawn-out and intense contribution, is commercial and critical acclaim more or less important?

He gives the smile afforded to an actor who we both know has pick of projects.

“Definitely less,” he nods. “Chris Cooper once told me, ‘Never have any regrets’ And I don’t. Ok, I have a few, but ultimately I’ve always worked as hard as I could at the time and that’s my job.

“I want people to see the movie, but I think the business has overwhelmed the artistry, and that business creates a sense of fear, a sense of muting ones instinct.

“We live in a time when it’s all about the instantaneous thing, you read an article and then it’s on to the next one, but I live with this for the rest of my life.”

Viewers of ‘Southpaw’ will see Billy’s fate spin out of control very quickly, from the man with everything to someone with less than nothing. For Jake, despite his privileged position, this kind of lesson is nothing new.

“There is a womb-like bubble that you can find yourself in, which is the absurdity of the movie business,” he starts. “But no matter what, whether it’s age or just life, and the blows that inevitably come, there is reality that exists and it does for everyone.

“Since I was a kid, I’ve always been aware of that, and it’s why I have a hard time when people talk about preparation for a role, complaing ‘it’s hard’ or ‘difficult’, and I think you can’t use those words in the entertainment industry. It’s not an option when you look out at the real world.”

'Southpaw' is in UK cinemas from Friday 24 July. Watch the trailer below...

Kellie Maloney could soon be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Coleen Nolan, Janet Street Porter and Jamelia if she gets her way, after admitting she’d love a job on the ‘Loose Women’ panel.

The 62-year-old, who underwent gender reassignment surgery earlier this year, says she’s keen to move into TV after her stint in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house last summer.

“I would like to do something like Loose Women,” she told The Sun. “I’d also love to do a chat show. I have an idea of doing one with White Dee called Women With Attitude.”

Kellie also revealed she’d love to star in her own version of ‘The Real Houeswives’ series of reality shows, and there could be a documentary made about her life too.

She said: “I would like to do a reality series on transsexuals with me and my friends. You know how you have The Real Housewives of Cheshire? I’d like to do The Real Transsexual Girls.”

“I’m in talks about a documentary feature film. It would be about my life and shown in cinemas,” she revealed.

Could Kellie be about to join the 'Loose Women'?


As well as TV ambitions, Kellie also has hopes to move into fashion design and is already planning her own clothing line.

“I would actually like to bring out my own clothing range,”, she says.

“Trans people find it hard to find clothes to fit and there’s certain bits of our body shape we can’t change. So I think it would benefit the trans community.”

Last month Kellie shared her thoughts on Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair photoshoot, saying she sees her own experience in the eyes of the American star.

Kellie said of the reality star: "You can see in her eyes that she's very happy."

We're not sure why anyone would ever try to get in a Twitter fight with one of the biggest rappers in the world, but Meek Mill has, and bizarrely Tesco wanted a slice of the action.

According to Mill, Drake doesn't write his own raps. Luckily for him, Tesco have stepped in to offer some support (and rub a little salt in the wound...)




Oooh burn! The whole Drake VS Meek Mill fiasco kicked off the other day when Mill asked people to stop comparing him to Drake*.










Apparently Drake responded then deleted the tweet...

If you've picked up the latest copy of the Daily Star, then you’ll know that Britain has a very serious threat on its hand - seagulls have apparently turned “psycho”. You're not worried, you say? Well Simon Cowell is.

READ MORE:


The ‘X Factor’ boss is having helmets specially designed for his two dogs to stop them being pecked to death by the vicious birds.

Speaking to The Sun, Simon revealed the lengths he is going to, to protect Yorkie pooches Squiddly and Diddly.

“There is a seagull problem in this country right now,” he said. “Seagulls are actually attacking animals. They are coming inland at the moment.

“I am getting a crash helmet designed for my dogs.”

According to the paper, he even asked one auditionee: “Have you thought about seagulls attacking your cats?”

Simon’s actions come after a Yorkie Roo was killed by a swarm of the birds while out in the garden at its family’s home in Cornwall, two weeks ago.

And just in case the same fate awaits little Squids and Dids, Simon is already taking steps to have them cloned.

A source told The Mirror that the music mogul has asked aids to research Sooam Biotech, the company which created Britain’s first cloned dog last year.

“Money is not an issue. Simon is determined to make it happen,” they said.

“He has briefed aides and they are looking to see whether Sooam is a viable option.”

Richard Hammond has scored his first post-’Top Gear’ gig, and will be presenting a new Sky1 documentary.

‘Richard Hammond’s Jungle Quest’ will see the Hamster photographing rare animals and birds.

Sharing his excitement ahead of his new show, Richard revealed that he’s always wanted to travel across South America.

"Trekking through the Amazon rainforest with a camera to photograph wildlife was a childhood dream," he said.

"The reality was, I discovered, far, far tougher than I had imagined, but the moments when I saw and caught images of the elusive creatures and fleeting encounters that make the place so special, so unique and yet so fragile were breathtaking and some of the best in my life.

"I hope viewers will feel they have been there too... and most of all, I hope people enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it."

The trip will see Richard taking snaps of wildlife, such as pink river dolphins and three-toed sloths, and the show is expected to air this autumn.

Richard recently completed the ‘Top Gear Live’ shows Down Under, which were rebranded ‘Clarkson, Hammond And May Live’ after the trio’s departure from the show.

It’s not been all work though, and Richard and Jeremy took the chance to take a few snaps while travelling in Australia.

Sadly, one snap was less than impressive, and both presenters uploaded it to Twitter with a homophobic slur. *puts sarcastic voice on* Bravo guys, bravo.

Anyone waiting for Myleene Klass to respond to her ex-husband’s angry Twitter rant about the star earlier this week, we have bad news: Myleene is having way too much fun in the sun to care, it seems.

READ MORE:


There hasn’t been a peep out of Myleene since Graham Quinn took to Twitter on Monday, accusing his ex-wife of being a liar and preventing him from seeing their children.

But rather than enter into a public war of words with the celebrity bodyguard, Myleene has got on with the very serious business of enjoying her sunshine break.

Which we bet has gone down REALLY well with Graham.

Leather look ...no talc needed!

The presenter and musician shared a series of snaps on Instagram of her posing in her own Littlewoods swimwear designs - and she looks uh-mazing.

One snap sees her modelling a leather-look two-piece, which she captioned: “Leather look… no talc needed!”

In another pic she can be laughing as she reclines in a hammock in a hot pink design.

A photo posted by myleeneklass (@myleeneklass) on






Despite Myleene and Graham divorcing three years ago, tensions remain high between the pair, with Graham hitting back at his ex-wife in a bitter Twitter rant on Monday.

Graham saw red after Myleene gave an interview to the Daily Mail in which she claimed she lost money during their divorce.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote: "I've stayed quiet for three years now but enough is enough.

"Please explain to me how I took your money? I lost so much money from our divorce and our house that we bought together."

"One day I hope you will put the interests of your children first and let them see their father…. Instead of focusing on what lies you can tell to boost your career."

Kylie Minogue is no stranger to throwing a bit of glitter on a classic pop hit to make it her own and she was at it again during a recent appearance at Germany’s Melt festival.

READ MORE:


And as the 47-year-old singer was in the land of sausages and beer, she treated the audience to her own take on one of Germany’s biggest homegrown hits - Nena’s 1983 global hit, ‘99 Red Balloons’ - or ‘99 Luftballons’ to give it its proper German title.

Alas, Kyles stopped short of singing the whole thing in German (and apologised for doing so) but her rendition in English (with a little help from some lyrical prompts and a red balloon, natch) will still have you all misty-eyed if you’re of a certain age.

Erstaunlich!

HuffPostUK has enjoyed a preview screening of what will surely become the most talked-about reality show in the world, as Caitlyn Jenner invites cameras to follow her as she adapts to her new life, post-transition - including first encounters with her family, facing the press and learning about other families who've shared this experience.

8 things that struck us about the first episode...

  • That however handsome Bruce Jenner may have been, Caitlyn Jenner is an extraordinary-looking woman. In every shot of this hour-long debut, it’s impossible to take your eyes off her - no small thing when other people in the room include internet-breaker Kim Kardashian West and ‘Jesus’ hubby Kanye.

    Caitlyn embraces her daughter Kylie Jenner in her new show


  • That Kim Kardashian West REALLY does view everything through the prism of social media, even the stunning sight of Caitlyn Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair, her public debut following her private years of soul-searching. What profound insight did that bring forth from the young girl who's had this person has a father figure in her life for more than two decades? "I didn't know you were on Twitter." Hurrah, and we're back in Kansas, Dorothy.


  • That, never mind the Kardashians, Caitlyn’s own family are a bunch of troopers. Her sisters describe their fear, their nervousness on meeting their new sisters, but there are an enormous amount of hugs and smiles when they do. And then it’s time for normal life again, and a game of tennis.


  • That the show’s producers REALLY know what they’re doing. Just when you’ll scream if you see one more lingering shot Caitlyn’s nail varnish and lipstick, she learns of another suicide by a transgender teenager, Caitlyn describes her own dark hours with a gun in the house, and you remember the significance of what she’s doing, and the clear message she’s sending out.


    • i am cait
    Caitlyn talks frocks with step-daughter Kim Kardashian


  • That there’s a reason why Kanye West does not have his own reality show. Will Young may decry him as “arrogant and opulent” but, among this bunch of reality TV professionals, he’s looks almost normal. His shoulders are down, his grin is frightening and he has to explain his shoe-socks to his in-laws. Meanwhile, his wife is too self-conscious about her burgeoning size to remove her coat. In words I never thought I’d write, this couple appear bizarrely down to earth.


  • That Caitlyn isn’t above poking fun at her former wife Kris Jenner. When she’s showing off her new closet full of designer labels to impressed step-daughter, Kim delights in telling her, "Mom has that dress, too.” Caitlyn’s response - a big open mouth, a grin and then "Shall we do who wore it best?” If we ever have to identity the moment when reality TV underwent a mighty evolution, this would surely be a candidate.


  • Those Stateside paps are a determined lot, meaning Caitlyn has to leave her house at dawn to avoid them as she heads to visit the bereaved family of a recent transgender teenager who took his own life. The lines are a bit blurred between what’s not acceptable - “I can’t bring this lot on that family” - and what is - her own camera crew lingering on every grieving face. But the stakes are high. Caitlyn photos are currently selling at250,000 a pop.


  • That the real star of the show is… Caitlyn’s mother Esther. It’s no ordinary octogenarian who says goodbye to a son, hello to a daughter and submits to revealing her prejudices, grief and confusion, all in front of an unblinking camera crew. That she does this with so much style and warmth - “I couldn’t be prouder of her” is testament to her open-mindedness and grit. Caitlyn has strong genes, people.


I am Cait Sunday premieres on 2 August at 9pm on E!

Fiona Phillips was left with a big smile on her face on Wednesday’s (22 July) edition of 'Lorraine', after 'EastEnders’ star Harry Reid turned on the charm with her.

READ MORE:


The presenter, who was standing in for usual host Lorraine Kelly, was interviewing the young actor - better known as Walford’s Ben Mitchell - when he got a little over-familiar with her.

When Fiona asked how long his days were filming on the soap, he replied: "It varies to be honest, darling."

Clearly loving the flirtation, Fiona replied: "Darling? How over-familiar! Honestly. That's lovely, I feel all young again now!"

"I can't help myself, sorry." Harry laughed.

She later added: "Oh, you're lovely! Not just because you called me darling!"

Harry was on the ITV breakfast show to chat about his latest storyline, which has seen him arrested for the murder of Lucy Beale, despite fans knowing that her brother Bobby was behind the crime.

Ben is also embarking on a romance with newcomer Paul Coker, but it's complicated as the troubled Mitchell is still in the closet and in a relationship with Abi Branning.

A scene implying Ben and Paul had got intimate in a funeral parlour attracted a number of complaints to Ofcom, after it aired last week.

When Does The 'Great British Bake Off' Start? New Series Given An Air Date

‘Great British Bake Off’ fans can finally put a date in their diaries, as the start date for the new series has been confirmed.

‘Bake Off’ is set to return to our screens on Wednesday 5 August, and to be honest, we can’t quite believe it’s been a year since Nancy triumphed on the show.

Of course, we can’t mention last year’s show without discussing baked alaska-gate, and we’ll be sitting tight in case tensions rise - and Victoria Sponges fail to - this time around.

Presenter Sue Perkins recently discussed the kerfuffle, insisting that Ian Watters’ dessert disaster was “a non-event in the tent".

Series six has a lot to live up to, but if the recently-released trailer, which features Mary Berry doing a Julie Andrews, is anything to go by, we won’t be left disappointed.

Watch the (brilliantly camp) trailer below…

Taylor Swift Slammed On Twitter For Ignoring Wider Feminist And Race Issues In Nicki Minaj Row

Taylor Swift has come under fire on Twitter for "using faux-feminism to silence black women who call out white privilege", following her row with Nicki Minaj over the VMA nominations.

Minaj spoke out after Swift's video for 'Bad Blood' was nominated for the Video of the Year Award, drawing reference to the social impact that her video for 'Anaconda' had.













Assuming that Minaj's tweets were aimed at her, Swift replied to Minaj saying "I've done nothing but love and support you."







Fans took to Twitter to call Swift out for ignoring Minaj's attempts to comment on the history of racism and white privilege in the music industry.




















































Samira Sawlani from Media Diversified said: "Taylor Swift's inability or choice to ignore the point Nicki Minaj was making re: the role of race in the music industry and beyond, is a replay of the responses many people of colour who talk about feminism receive and reflective of society as a whole.

"Ultimately, Nicki Minaj was speaking out about her struggle as a black woman and unfortunately Taylor Swift hijacked the conversation by making it about her and her belief that Minaj was taking a swipe due to the VMA nominations.

"The truth is Taylor Swift's response is nothing new and neither is the reaction of the media who have made this about a 'war of words' while simultaneously vilifying Nikki Minaj."

She went on to say that the situation illustrates an ignorance of intersectionality, adding: "Swift may not be able to understand the challenges black women face, thus it would have made more sense for her to stay quiet or respond in solidarity.

"Not only did she response misconstrue what Nikki Minaj said (suggesting it was a woman against woman thing, or a bruised ego on Minaj's part) but it distracted from the real and more important conversation: race and body image.

"Perhaps this is an appropriate time to suggest Ms Swift reflect and 'check her privilege.' perhaps it's also time the rest of us search out the name Sandra Bland, to really understand what Nikki Minaj is saying."

In the latest in our WISE WORDS interview series - where stars from a whole range of fields share the important life lessons they've learned along the way - we’re posing some of the big questions to former model turned TV presenter and all-round daredevil Jodie Kidd.

MORE WISE WORDS:


Jodie, whose name has been firmly in the mix to present 'Top Gear' alongside Chris Evans, has been on corporate duty this week, teaming up with Appletiser to launch its 1000-bottle fountain in time for the King George this weekend at Ascot. She tells HuffPostUK, "My family's horse raced in the same event in 1975, so there's a strong personal connection for me."

Of the 'Top Gear' hooha surrounding possible presenters, Jodie agrees, "It’s a bit bonkers, isn't it?

"I’m a massive fan of the show, I'm a massive fan of Jeremy, but I’ve got no news. People have put two and two together and got 510. We'll just have to see."

Recently divorced, Jodie currently combines a long list of public projects, including presenting 'The Classic Car Show', with looking after her son Indio. She tells us what she does to switch off - occasionally - and the few things left on her bucket list...

What do you do to switch off from the world?
I have a hot bath, with Himalayan bath salts, with some lovely Elemis bath milk. I treat myself, put some music on, pour a glass of red wine, and spend at least half an hour in there. Lovely!

How do you deal with negativity?
I’ve learnt not to react to negativity, I don’t allow that energy to come into my body. I just bounce it off, and don’t let it in. I literally think, well, poor them. I just go and do something else.

When and where are you happiest?
Have I already mentioned the bath?. Other than that, probably when I’m with my son Indio, everything we do together is so fun. He'll be four in September, the perfect age for having fun.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
Live each day as if it’s your last, because one day it will be. That came from my dad.

What has been the hardest lesson you’ve learned?
Trusting too much. I’m an open person. I just trust everyone immediately, and there are some people in this world not so worthy of that.

What would you tell your 13-year-old self?
Keep going, never give up. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Appreciate all the ups, because there will be downs, but they will pass. And keep the Ferrari.

jodie kidd
"Keep the Ferrari"



What 3 things are at the top of your bucket list?
I’ve flown a Spitfire, I’ve been down the skeleton run, what’s left to do? Okay, I would like to take David Attenborough out for dinner. I met him before, it was the first time in my life I couldn’t talk, I was completely starstruck. I’d love just to sit and talk to him about the planet, and what we can all do to save it.
Fly a F35, one of our fighter planes.
Own a Ferrari 250 GTO. (The one she gave up when she had a son. Jodie sold her vintage Ferrari when she was about to become a mother, she says she was trying to be practical, but it's something she'll always regret.)

What do you think happens when we die?
A bit of Buddhism, I believe in old souls, we believe we come back. I’m open. Our souls are tied in some way. Sometimes you meet someone and you don’t know why you know them, it’s beyond our rationale. There’s something out there.

When do you feel a sense that we live in the presence of something bigger than ourselves?
There are so many unexplained things in this world that science can’t explain. The answer's not quite in our consciousness, we're not allowed to know about it, yet.

What do you try to bring to your relationships?
Fun, love, kindness, friendship. I like to push boundaries, try to make people realise their own potential.

What keeps you grounded?
Where I live in the country, when I’m not working, growing my own vegetables, doing mummy things. Going to the pub, riding my horses.

What was the last good deed or act of kindness you received?
I got taken up in a Spitfire, flown up to RAF Fairford to launch the tattoo, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It was the most incredible experience of my life.
