Prince William has said giving Sir Kevin Sinfield his knighthood, is "probably one of the easiest decisions anyone's ever had to make".
The future King has appeared in an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast to share his personal admiration for Sir Kevin, who recently completed seven ultra marathons in seven days.
Sir Kevin took part in the extreme endurance challenge to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) charities following the death of his best friend and former rugby team-mate, Rob Burrow from the condition in 2024.
"I think frankly he should have been Sir Kevin years ago," said Prince William.
"What Kevin does, is he can bind and glue communities together by being that leader. The more Kevs we have in this country the better."

Chet Hanks and Eric André's long-running tension spilled into a public confrontation at ComplexCon, turning an old television-show grievance into an awkward face-off in front of a crowd.
Chet filmed himself approaching the 43-year-old comedian at the Los Angeles Convention Center, apparently looking to finally address comments André made about him years earlier.
However, while the model appeared pleased with the encounter afterward, André managed to get the final word with a pointed reference to Chet's famous father.

Tate McRae traded stagewear for a softer kind of drama at Schiaparelli, arriving at the fashion house's Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris in a sweeping champagne-toned satin look.
The 23-year-old singer attended the October 1 presentation in a deeply plunging blazer paired with a matching floor-length slip skirt. Her hair was worn long and loose, while the styling remained relatively spare, allowing the reflective fabric and dramatic neckline to carry most of the look.
CNN Style identified the outfit as a champagne blazer and coordinating slip skirt, clearing up a detail that was easy to miss from photographs because the uninterrupted satin silhouette could initially read as a gown. McRae joined other music figures at the Schiaparelli presentation, including Peggy Gou and JT.
The front-row appearance came during an unusually significant day for McRae away from the concert stage. October 1 also marked the official launch of TATE 01, her debut fragrance and first major move into the beauty business, putting a new entrepreneurial project alongside one of her most prominent Paris Fashion Week appearances.
From a distance, the fluid line of McRae's outfit made the satin ensemble resemble a single dress. CNN Style's Paris Fashion Week coverage, however, described it as a plunging champagne blazer worn with a matching slip skirt.

Ruby Rose is making headlines amid her time on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test. During last week's premiere episode, Oliver Hudson brought up allegations that Rose recently made against Katy Perry.
While Rose has not discussed the situation herself on the show, her time as a recruit is certainly bringing the past accusations back to light. Scroll down for a refresher and to find out where things stand now.
In April 2013, Rose accused Perry of **** ual **** ault. She said that the alleged incident took place at Spice Market Nightclub in Melbourne, Australia.
"She didn't kiss me," Rose wrote on Threads, per Variety. "She saw me 'resting' on my best friends lap to avoid her and bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting **** on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her."
Rose said that at the time she re-framed the tale to be a "funny little drunk story" because she "didn't know how else to handle it." She also alleged, "Later she agreed to help me get my US visa. So I kept it a secret. But I DID tell yall she wasn't a good person."

Art imitates life imitates...
In summer 2026, word started to spread that the movie star at the center of Rachel Cusk's new novel, Life of M, appeared to draw heavily from the life and career of Natalie Portman, who had previously met Cusk, praised her writing, and promoted her work through her book club. While Cusk has resisted confirming the connection and Portman herself has not publicly addressed it, sources close to the actress have denied that she had any involvement in the book. Life of M is hardly the first time a seemingly fictional character has closely resembled a real-world figure.
Still, as Cusk recently put it to The New York Times, while skirting the question of M's real-life parallels: "Famous people enter the public imagination... it is part of fame's deal, and part of its tragedy."
Here are nine instances in which a celebrity has seen themselves reflected in a fictional character — and weighed in. Many of them didn't bother holding back.

N.O.R.E., the rapper and host of the popular podcast Drink Champs, has responded to a ****** ual ****** ault lawsuit brought against him by Carmen Bryan, describing her claims as "invented interactions" that are "entirely false."
The denial comes two days after Bryan filed a 20-page civil complaint against N.O.R.E., real name Victor Santiago, alleging the rapper was intoxicated when he forced himself on her in the middle of a packed Manhattan nightclub in 1999. According to the lawsuit, Santiago "physically overpowered" Bryan and "committed an act of non-consensual digital penetration," all while ignoring her pleas for him to stop. The alleged ****** ault only ended when other clubgoers reportedly pulled Santiago off Bryan.

Jennifer Lawrence has done a lot in her career so far. She's been nominated for four Academy Awards (winning one), she's bared it all in movies without a double and survived some very public wardrobe malfunctions. One thing she's never done, however, is make a post on Instagram — until now! Lawrence has joined the wild world of social media, but it's not exactly a move she's confident about. In fact, she threatens to "quit immediately" in her first post, and fans have the best reactions.
Social media can be an unkind place, to put it lightly, and that's why many celebrities like Billie Eilish have bailed. Jennifer Lawrence decided to dip her toes in the water, sharing this hilarious warning as her very IG first post:
I love that she's just so matter-of-fact about it. I'm not too optimistic about Jennifer Lawrence's chances of keeping trolls out of her Instagram comments, but that's a problem for another day. In case she follows through on her threat and the video disappears, here is what J-Law said:

Taylor Swift stepped out for another stylish date night with Travis Kelce in New York City. While her shimmering Stella McCartney dress grabbed attention, the singer's carefully chosen accessories completed the sophisticated look. From metallic Aquazzura heels to statement jewelry, every piece added to the polished ensemble for the evening outing.
Swift paired her metallic brown Stella McCartney Striped Silk-Blend Halter Neck Maxi Dress, priced at $2,800, with equally glamorous accessories. Most notably, she wore Aquazzura Twist 95 Sandals in gold, priced at $944. Crafted from metallic calf leather, the heels featured elegant knot detailing, an open-toe design, and sculpted high heels that perfectly complemented the shimmering gown.
She also carried the Stella McCartney Frayme Scale-Embossed Bucket Bag, valued at $1,595, in a rich chocolate brown shade. The structured handbag added texture to the outfit while coordinating beautifully with the earthy metallic tones of her dress.
Meanwhile, Swift elevated the look with luxurious jewelry. She wore Mindi Mond Imperial Citrine & Diamond Drop Earrings, worth $19,000, adding a vibrant golden sparkle beside her face. She also accessorized with the Elizabeth Taylor Darlene De Sedle 22K Gold & Opal Diamond bracelet and ring. Additionally, she wore her custom 8-carat antique Old Mine brilliant-cut diamond engagement ring and wedding band by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry. Together, the heirloom-inspired pieces added timeless elegance.
Her beauty look remained classic. Swift styled her brown hair in soft, smooth waves with full bangs framing her face. In addition, she wore her iconic red lipstick, subtle eyeliner, and softly defined eye makeup. A natural, glowing complexion completed the refined evening appearance.

Despite Pamela Anderson being at the Venice Film Festival for her new film, Place to Be, the actress has also been making the most of her time in Venice with several appearances, including the amfAR Venezia gala, where she received the Award of Courage for her advocacy and charitable work.

And if there is one thread connecting her Venice wardrobe so far, it is colour. Pamela has moved from coral pink to vivid clementine and wisteria, with each look offering a different take on glamour.
Oscar de la Renta has become something of a go-to label for Pamela, and this coral-pink cape-effect gown makes it easy to understand why.
The colour is beautiful on her, but it is the cape that sells this for me. Draped across one shoulder and secured with an embellished floral brooch, it gives a relatively simple gown far more presence.

Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves was in Slovenia in August for a minicamp hosted by teammate Luka Doncic, and he has now made another trip abroad in September. Reaves' longtime girlfriend, Jenna Barber, posted pictures on Instagram on Sunday of the couple vacationing in Mexico with their friends.
Barber and Reaves can be seen relaxing on a yacht in a couple of the pictures, and they also spent time at a Señor Frog's restaurant with the group.
This could be Reaves' last vacation this summer, as the Lakers commence their training camp on Sept. 29. It will be time to get back to work pretty soon. That Slovenia minicamp was a bit more of a bonding trip, and it was needed with all the new faces on the Lakers' roster. They'll have close to 10 new players in the rotation.
Bronny James isn't one of the new faces, but he enjoyed the experience and made it clear the trip helped the team. Speaking of Bronny, his father LeBron James left the Lakers this summer for the Philadelphia 76ers.
LeBron's departure puts more pressure on Reaves, who is now the unquestioned second option behind Doncic. Now, the 28-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, having averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 **** ists, 1.1 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game in 2025-26.

Kim Kardashian made a sizable donation to charity over the weekend.
The Kardashians star, 45, attended This Is About Humanity's 8th Annual Soiree on Saturday, August 29, in Hollywood — and sources told Just Jared that she offered up a $50,000 contribution.
The mother of four is friends with one of the organization's founders, Henry Winkler's daughter Zoe Winkler Reinis, so Kardashian posed with Reinis and Winkler at the event to show her support.
Founded in 2018 by Reinis, Elsa Marie Collins and Yolanda Selene Walther-Meade, This Is About Humanity describes itself as "a community dedicated to raising awareness about separated and reunified families and children at the U.S.-Mexico border."

A mother of three swiftly took it upon herself to help teens who hydroplaned during a rainstorm in Rhode Island and were then struck by a car. Now one of music's biggest names is ready to help her.
According to recent donations sent to a GoFundMe page supporting Ashley Taunton, Taylor Swift seemingly contributed $50,000 to the 42-year-old certified nursing ***** istant from Connecticut, who was severely injured while driving on I-95 South in Rhode Island on July 18. While she helped a group of teens on the side of the road, another vehicle hydroplaned and hurtled directly toward them.
"Wishing you the best recovery possible and sending love to your family!" reads a comment left by Swift on Aug. 28.
"In a split-second act of pure bravery, Ashley pushed the other person out of harm's way, taking the brunt of the impact herself," the GoFundMe description reads. "Because of her selfless courage, Ashley is now facing a very long and difficult road to recovery. She has already undergone two major surgeries in the last 18 hours alone, with more scheduled in the days ahead."
The fundraiser is going toward medical expenses not covered by insurance, daily household bills and expenses, gas and travel costs for commuting back and forth to the hospital and groceries for Taunton's three children.

The Duke and **** ss of Sussex reportedly arrived back in the UK on Wednesday, alongside their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. According to BBC News, the family of four flew into Birmingham on a private plane from California.
From a fashion perspective, flying in style can be quite the task, particularly if it's a transcontinental journey. Comfort is always key when it comes to travel, but the royal family is often pictured by the world's press at airports, which may make them feel they need to look as resplendent as ever.

One of Meghan's best-loved airport moments came in 2018. Harry and Meghan touched down in Ireland that year, and the former Suits star appeared effortlessly striking as she disembarked from the jet in her travelling outfit, which consisted of an emerald green top and figure-hugging pencil skirt by one of her favourite designers, Givenchy.

A lip reader has decoded a tense exchange between Donald Trump and Melania Trump at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix in Washington, D.C. The couple attended the IndyCar event together, but cameras captured what appeared to be a strained conversation as Melania leaned in to whisper to the president before stepping back.
Professional lip reader Nicola Hickling ***** yzed the video and revealed that Melania whispered something to her husband before pulling back and saying, "That is private and valuable text." Trump then asked, "Was it enough?"
The exchange happened while Natalie Harp, the president's executive ***** istant, attended the same event. Harp has drawn heavy scrutiny in recent weeks over her unusually close relationship with Trump. Hickling claims Melania said, "I don't know," which prompted Trump to respond, "Then I need to see it." The first lady then reportedly told him, "Donald, listen, I'm gonna go."
According to Metro, Trump allegedly replied, "Listen, she asked you not to close the door." Melania asked why, and he said, "It's bad news, but it's bad timing, Melania." The first lady called the situation "crazy" before whispering in his ear again. Donald Trump appeared to say, "I've had enough of her." Melania then leaned in once more and, after pulling away, reportedly said, "Obviously I'll see and talk to her in the morning."
The tense moment followed Melania's month-long disappearance from public view. She returned to the White House on August 20, after 31 days away. Her absence coincided with mounting questions about Trump's working relationship with Harp.

We can admit that Cosmopolitan doesn't command our attention every month. However, the Hearst-owned publication isn't completely off our radar. After all, a vibrant and sultry Margaret Qualley cover (when the ****** le celebrated its monumental 60th anniversary for Fall 2025) and Sydney Sweeney morphing into a 90s supermodel for Spring 2026 have had our undivided attention of late. Next up on the cover of Cosmopolitan is Jennie, who fronts the Fall 2026 edition of the magazine. The South Korean singer and rapper (of the K-pop group Blackpink) is profiled by the photographer Grayson Vaughan and stylist Brandon Tan. Across a total of six covers, Jennie wears archival looks from both Chanel and Roberto Cavalli (in addition to new season looks from Chrome Hearts, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Area, and Chanel.

Rosie O'Donnell shared her experience taking the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, including the side effects. The former talk show host said she has "never felt better." However, she revealed that she had lost 12 pounds without making any changes, leading her to worry that she might have cancer.
O'Donnell spoke about the details on the August 11 episode of the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast. The 64-year-old said, as quoted by Us Weekly, "Three years ago, the doctor told me … they said, 'You have diabetes, can you take a shot?' I said, 'I think so. I don't know. I've never done a shot. Is it insulin?' … They said, 'No, it's this new drug and it really helps with your blood sugar.'"
O'Donnell said she was never told that the medication could cause rapid weight loss. She said doctors were focused on getting her "numbers" down. After starting Mounjaro, O'Donnell went to ***** u but said she could not eat after her son Blake proposed to Teresa Garofalow Westervelt. The couple got married in 2024. O'Donnell is also the mother of Parker, 31, Chelsea, 28, Vivienne, 23, and Clay, 13.
The comedian said she was overwhelmed with emotion after missing her mother, Roseann, and wishing she could have witnessed Blake's engagement and new chapter in life. She initially believed that emotional experience explained her weight loss. However, two weeks later, "I get on the scale. I call my doctor crying. I must have cancer. I've lost 12 pounds and I haven't done anything. It's been three weeks since I started that medicine."
O'Donnell, who first opened up about taking Mounjaro in January 2023, explained that losing weight had always been difficult for her, even when she actively tried. She said the drug could help many people with obesity but criticized the high cost of the treatment.

Over the past few years, the Princess of Wales has made a conscious decision to stop sharing her fashion credentials with fans and has quietly transitioned to a more low-key, muted wardrobe after she felt the public interest in her fashion was detracting from her work.
Despite continuing to have the occasional show-stopping moment for high-profile events, they seem to be fewer and farther between. With the change so incremental, it can be hard to remember how daring Kate's style was when she first married Prince William – but we've rifled through unearthed photos to discover what appears to be the dress that pushed the boundaries of royal dressing to the max.

There were more looks from Kaia Gerber as she continued promoting her new film, The Shards, and you won't be surprised to learn that they all stayed within her familiar style formula.

Usually, a black dress and black pumps are a signal for me to mentally check out, but instead I found myself really liking this Prada dress.
It's sleek, elegant and perfectly in tune with Kaia's understated aesthetic. She isn't someone who chases trends. Instead, she has built a wardrobe around clean, refined silhouettes that consistently work for her, and this dress is another example of that approach paying off.
Styled with an Aupen Nova Nylon bag, the look felt considered without straying from the aesthetic she has made her own.

SubwayTakes creator Kareem Rahma and his longtime partner Karina Muslimova are married
The pair tied the knot on the rooftop at the Nine Orchard hotel in the city, after unrest in Cairo forced them to abandon their original plan
The pair were surrounded by friends and family during their ceremony, including their daughter, Sufi, whom they welcomed in 2024
SubwayTakes creator Kareem Rahma and writer and artist Karina Muslimova are married!
The popular social media creator, known for his viral interview series that takes place on New York City subways, tied the knot with his longtime love in a New York City wedding ceremony on June 27, after first meeting on Hinge in 2021, per Vogue.
Together, the pair share a daughter, Sufi, whom they welcomed in 2024. It was on a trip to Puerto Rico during the family's first Mother's Day with their daughter that Rahma asked Muslimova to marry him — though the couple was initially unsure if they wanted to get married traditionally at all.
"At the beginning of our relationship, we weren't even sure we wanted one. We used to joke that, in a world full of husbands and wives, we'd still be calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend well into our 80s," Muslimova told the outlet.

Hunter Biden revisited one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s most unusual controversies during a new podcast appearance. The former first son claimed the bizarre Central Park bear carcass incident drew national attention before quietly disappearing from the headlines.
The conversation unfolded as Hunter joined Benny Blanco and Lil ****** y on the "Friends Keep Secrets" podcast. While discussing RFK Jr., he insisted the decade-old story was real and suggested the investigation lost momentum despite authorities wanting to identify who was responsible.
According to the information shared on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Blanco said he did not know much about politics before bringing up stories surrounding RFK Jr. Hunter responded by calling the son of Robert F. Kennedy "truly insane" and "an amateur taxidermist."
Hunter then recounted the incident in detail. "He came up with this brilliant idea and took the bear and a bicycle and hid it in Central Park," Hunter said. "The joke was supposed to be that there was a bear cycling in Central Park and it fell into the bushes. Like where do you come up with that f—— joke?"
Hunter added that someone later discovered the bear, sending the story nationwide.
