Amid last week’s fervor of her This Is Me… Now album release, Amazon Prime Video debut and press tour — as well as being named a chair of the 2024 Met Gala — Jennifer Lopez made a pit stop in Dubai for a surprise performance at the opening of the One&Only One Za’abeel Hotel.
Alongside Mark Ronson, who was DJing the lavish 400-person fete celebrating the luxury hotel group’s first vertical urban resort, Lopez, in a sequin jumpsuit and hooded fur-coat, popped-up in the DJ booth, taking the audience through a medley of her songs including “Jenny From the Block,” “Get Right” and the new “Can’t Get Enough.” This was a first-time collaboration for Lopez and Ronson (the Oscar- nominated producer of the Barbie soundtrack). Idris Elba followed with a DJ set into the early morning hours.

The ladies of Girls Aloud are celebrating the exciting news that they are heading out on tour next year!
Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts, Kimberley Walsh, and Cheryl posed for photos while exiting Zoe Ball’s BBC Breakfast Show on Thursday (November 23) in London, England.

The Masked Singer is back, with fans tuning in every Saturday night to try to guess which celebrity is behind each costume.
Comedian Joel Dommett has returned to host proceedings, with 13 mystery stars singing familiar songs on stage, while dressed up in an outfit obscuring their identity.
Guessing along with the in-studio audience and the viewers at home are the judges: Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross.
One way to help narrow things down is checking out who’s been on the series before – as it seems unlikely they’d return to the show (although not impossible).
So here’s a full list of who appeared on seasons one, two, three and four…
Season one
Winner: Nicola Roberts – Queen Bee
Jason Manford – Hedgehog
Katherine Jenkins – Octopus
CeeLo Green – Monster
Denise van Outen – Fox
Jake Shears – Unicorn
Skin – Duck
Kelis – Daisy
Teddy Sheringham – Tree

Sarah Harding had hoped to be able to attend her Gala dinner before she died, Girls Aloud bandmate Cheryl Tweedy has revealed.
Harding died of breast cancer in September last year at the age of 39, but revealed her final wish while staying with Tweedy weeks before her death. She was apparently keen to be able to thank those who had helped her during her illness.
"I asked her over and over again how we could help. Was there anything she truly wanted or needed?” wrote Tweedy in an article for Vogue.
“Finally she said to me: ‘I would love you to create an evening, a gala of some kind for me. If I am here and can attend I will be able to thank those who have helped me through all of this, and pay that forward in a way that will help others when I’m gone.’”

An original print of Sarah Harding will be sold at auction to raise money for groundbreaking research into cancer.
The Girls Aloud star died of breast cancer in September last year at the age of 39.

The U.K. edition of “The Masked Singer” has wrapped filming on season two and is now in post production, Variety can reveal.
Produced by Argonon-backed Bandicoot TV, the hit singing competition debuted on ITV in January and drew a fully consolidated audience of 6.6 million (32% share). Cameras rolled on the show in September at Bovingdon Studios, just outside London.
While there were concerns around how “The Masked Singer” would navigate production during the pandemic, the show is believed to have been among the first entertainment programs allowed to film with a live audience in place post lockdown. The production crossed the finish line just in time, as the U.K. is poised to face a fresh set of Covid-19 restrictions in the coming days, though it’s still unclear to what extent film and TV production will be impacted.

Walsh seems to be at his most content when he's shooting his mouth off about the star, recently igniting their age-old feud by describing her as "lazy" and irrelevant" during his latest interview.
Cheryl took the bait and claimed Walsh - who previously dressed up as the popstar for a laugh - must have "some kind of an obsession" with her, and advised him to use his mouth to "say something positive". Which seems unlikely...
Even Simon Cowell has commented on their spat and likened the pair to Tom and Jerry.

Byker! Byker! Byker! Byker Grove! A-ha, A-ha, A-ha!
Geordie youth club drama Byker Grove was one of the greatest children's TV shows of the '80s and '90s, and next month it will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a special party in Newcastle.
But what ever happened to the stars of the show? We look back at some of the programme's breakout stars and forgotten favourites.
1. Declan Donnelly played Duncan
In the show's first series, Dec was going solo as 'Duncan' and it wasn't until he was united with Ant's 'Pj' that he truly became a central figure in the series. While they are remembered as being best buddies on the show, Duncan did end up nabbing Pj's girlfriend Debbie. After Pj went blind in a paintball accident. Hardly the stuff of best mates in retrospect.
2. Ant McPartlin played Pj

The cover says it all: "Simply The Best!" Which is why we can't believe this April 2013 issue of Vogue magazine marks Tina Turner's first time gracing the glossy. Finally!
The legendary singer is seen rocking her signature honey blonde-highlighted hair, a silky navy blouse and what appears to be a black skirt for Vogue's German edition, which was shot by Claudia Knoepfel and Stefan Indlekofer and styled by Nicola Knels. We would have loved to see Tina's showstopping legs framed by some fringe, but maybe she's flaunting them for the editorial feature inside the issue.

Another actress has come under fire. Last week, Gemma Arterton ('Alice Creed,' 'St. Trinian's,' 'Clash of the Titans,' 'Prince of Persia') made waves for speaking out against the objectification she's faced as an actress to the UK edition of GQ. (Though she appeared as the magazine's cover girl last spring, her comments are linked to an interview in the October 2010 issue.) Arterton criticized the film world for how it values and uses actresses, stating that she's been treated like an "object", and now tries to only work with those who respect her. Her quotes include:
"I'm looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don't just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well."
"I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life.

Girls Aloud have too much "baggage", their former manager has claimed. Louis Walsh, who took on the quintet after they won U.K. TV talent show "Popstars: The Rivals" in 2002, admits he has great admiration for Nadine Coyle and thinks that affected his relationship with her band mates Cheryl Cole, Nicola Roberts, Kimberley Walsh and Sarah Harding.
"I don't like working with them too much any more because there's too much baggage and far too much politics," he said. "I always thought that Nadine was the star, that she was the real singer in the band, and the others held that against me."
However, the 58-year-old music manager does admit Cheryl, who he sits alongside as a judge on U.K. TV talent show "The X Factor" has managed a spectacular career turn around, but credits it on her relationship with her soccer star ex-husband Ashley Cole.

Lily Allen won't be tuning in to Simon Cowell's U.K. TV show "The X Factor" this year - she's attacked the talent contest and the music mogul in a series of online rants. The hugely popular series returned to the small screen in Britain on Saturday, August 21 night and attracted huge viewing figures.
But the "Smile" hitmaker has made it clear she is not fond of Cowell's grip on the TV music competition genre - insisting the program embodies everything "I detest about modern western culture." On her Twitter.com page, Allen writes, "X factor - Fail. Too set up/scripted in my humble opinion. I don't know how Simon Cowell has managed to get away with essentially copywriting (sic) the talent contest. It's beyond me, really."
And when one fan questioned her opinion, she angrily replied, "It's s**t. Fact! It's everything that I detest about modern western culture.

Nicola Roberts has reassured Girls Aloud fans the five-piece will reunite later this year, amid fervent speculation their ongoing hiatus will become permanent. The U.K.'s biggest girl group has taken a 12-month break to concentrate on individual projects, but the singers have been dogged by split rumors after they extended their time away from the band.
However, Roberts is adamant they are all planning to reform soon. She tells British morning show GMTV, "Well we're still all on our little break so we're all doing our own thing. Our break hasn't been up yet - we were supposed to have a year off so at the end of the year we'll start to regroup and talk about the future plans. But at the moment we're all dabbling in different things."
Roberts also addressed reports that bandmember Nadine Coyle, who is about to embark on a solo career, has decided to quit the line-up.

Nadine Coyle "needs" Girls Aloud. Louis Walsh, who managed the quintet after they won U.K. reality TV show "Popstars: The Rivals" in 2002, doesn't believe the Irish singer will quit the group, despite recent reports of a rift within the band.

Despite the rest of the group, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding, Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh, previously admitting they rarely speak to U.S.-based Nadine, Louis insists their lack of friendship will not be a problem for their professional lives.
