Kelly Rowland and Cheryl at Via, Manchester on Tuesday TikTok/nickjamesgiaquint/lake.shaun Cheryl Tweedy and Kelly Rowland have clearly found some time to let their hair down while shooting the upcoming season of The Voice UK. On Tuesday night, after a day of filming in Manchester, the two former girl band stars were spotted enjoying themselves at Via, a bar situated in the city’s iconic LGBTQ+ district, Canal Street. The pair were caught on camera rubbing shoulders with the bar’s resident drag queens and delivering impromptu renditions of their respective floor-fillers Fight For This Love and Commander. Both Cheryl and Kelly previously served as judges on The X Factor, albeit never at the same time. Earlier this month, after weeks of speculation, it was announced that the former Girls Aloud star would be joining Will.i.am and Kelly on the next season of The Voice UK, alongside British rapper Aitch, replacing outgoing stars Sir Tom Jones and McFly’s Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones.

That …

Taylor Swift Makes Surprise Appearance at the Emmys 2026—With the Help of Both Olivia Bensons

Published by Sam Flores

As any Swiftie worth their “22” bowler hat knows, there are always clues if you know where to look for them. And at the 2026 Emmys, host Mariska Hargitay, drawing on her storied history as TV detective Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, certainly knows where to look for Taylor Swift. In a pre-taped sketch, Hargitay (as Benson) walked her team through a yarn wall of Easter eggs, trying to determine whether Swift would attend the night’s ceremony. Then another notable detective entered the scene to crack the case once and for all: Swift herself, her cat, also named Olivia Benson, in her arms. Mariska Hargitay, Taylor Swift, and Olivia Benson (cat) appear on screen during the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theatre at LA Live in Los Angeles on September 14, 2026.PATRICK T.

Asked whether she thinks Swift would sing, she offered a firm “No.” And, because it wouldn’t be a …

Economy shows surprise AI-led growth but energy squeeze looms | Money News

Published by Sam Flores

The UK economy recorded 0.4% growth in July, partly on the back of artificial intelligence (AI) investment, according to early official figures that outperformed expectations. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said output accelerated – on the back of 0.3% growth the previous month – as the services sector was also boosted by bars and food sales which benefited from good weather during the World Cup. Economists had widely expected zero growth to be recorded in July. Money latest: The misunderstanding at the heart of the seven-year gifting rule ONS director of economic statistics, Liz McKeown, said: “Within services, computer programming was the largest contributor, continuing the strong growth seen throughout the year, with evidence that businesses involved with AI and related technologies helped to boost this sector. “Continuing recent trends, research and development and rental and leasing also helped drive growth, while wholesaling saw a notable fall.” AI investment, led by data centre spending and increased AI use among firms, has propped up growth since the spring as the economy has increasingly grappled with …

Stephen Sondheim almost quit writing musicals for surprise career

Stephen Sondheim almost quit writing musicals for surprise career

Published by Daniella Wilson

It’s an exciting time to be a Stephen Sondheim fan, as both Into the Woods and Sunday in the Park with George are set to be revived on the London stage. Both of these works are the result of a creative partnership between Sondheim and James Lapine, with the former writing the music and lyrics and the latter writing the book in both cases. Speaking on a panel at the press launch for the West End transfer of Into the Woods, Lapine reflected on working with the legendary composer and how the original idea for Into the Woods came about. While Into the Woods is now regarded as a key part of the musical theatre canon, Lapine revealed that things could have taken a very different path: “Before we did Sunday, he was coming off Merrily We Roll Along, which at the time was a big flop, but of course has now turned into a big hit. “But he was deciding he was going to do video games instead of writing musicals. Fortunately, that never …

John Fetterman made a surprise appearance via video at the Republican midterm convention Wednesday evening.

Fetterman described McCormick as “the kind of senator that gets the job done,” and said he was “proud to count him as my friend.” Before the video aired, there were reports that Fetterman would openly praise President Trump, but ultimately, he didn’t go that far. Standing in front of an industrial site in Pennsylvania in his trademark black hoodie, Fetterman spoke about preserving the region’s steel jobs. “That’s the iconic U.S. Steel mill and that’s exactly the kind of thing that we’ll work on together,” he said. “We’ll work with President Trump to fight and …
