The Golden Globes returned in dazzling style as Hollywood celebrated its biggest talents with some high-octane, old-school glamour. Last year there were no stars, no red carpet and no TV broadcast, only a private ceremony amid controversy over a lack of diversity and ethical lapses. But cut to 2023 and a host of A-listers shimmered brightly at the Beverly Hilton hotel, kicking off this year’s award season in a triumphant return to form. As usual, eyes were as firmly fixed on the fashion as on the gongs, with gowns and suits in a rainbow of colours from metallic silvers and golds to blushing pinks, lemon yellows, vibrant reds and electric blues. And it wasn’t just the women putting on a sartorial show – the men also stepped out of the shadows to…

With the ceremony over, it was time for winners to celebrate – and runners-up to commiserate – with a glass of fizz at a party hosted by Moët & Chandon. Sparkling in an off-the-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana gown, Jennifer Coolidge celebrated her victory, brandishing her trophy in the air, while Billy Porter congratulated Angela Bassett for hers. IRISH EYES ARE SMILING Brad Pitt, nominated for best supporting actor for Babylon, caught up with Colin Farrell, who was thrilled with his Best Actor gong for The Banshees of Inisherin. “I never expect films to work or to find an audience, and when they do it’s shocking to me,” said Colin in his acceptance speech. “I’m horrified by what’s happened around Banshees… in a thrilling kind of way.” The film’s writer and director, Martin McDonagh, who won…

As the daughter of music royalty, Lisa Marie Presley could have led a life of extravagance and excess. Instead, as she told hello! exclusively in 2009, her happiest role in life was being a mother to Riley, now 33, Benjamin – who died in 2020 at the age of 27 – and twins Finley and Harper, 14. “I have loved being a mom, whether I was in my 20s or now,” she said. “It is the most rewarding and enriching role I have played. My children have in turn given me life and stability as well.” Sadly, it fell to her own mother Priscilla to reveal the tragic news that Lisa Marie had died last week at the age of 54. “It is with a heavy heart that I must share…

‘Jowita has taught me things about myself that I’d never have figured out’Hamza Yassin To say it’s an exciting time for Strictly Come Dancing champion Hamza Yassin would be an understatement. The twinkle-toed wildlife presenter is not only heading off on tour with his Strictly castmates this week, but is also being touted as the next David Attenborough. “It’s an absolute honour to have my name mentioned in the same sentence as Sir David,” he says as HELLO! exclusively joins Hamza and his co-stars, including pro partner Jowita Przystal and fellow finalists Fleur East, Helen Skelton and Molly Rainford, at rehearsals for Strictly Come Dancing: The Live Tour, which kicks off in Birmingham on Friday. “No one will ever replace Sir David. He’s an absolute legend of this industry,” continues Hamza, 32. “I’d…

With her flame-red hair and colourful outfits, Strictly Come Dancing’s Dianne Buswell has earnt legions of fans after taking to the floor with celebrity partners including Max George and Dev Griffin. But off screen, the professional dancer, who lives in Sussex with her long-term boyfriend Joe Sugg, is never happier than when she can just relax with her family in Australia – especially her beloved nieces and nephews, who know her simply as “Aunty Dot”. Speaking to HELLO! just hours before boarding a flight back to the UK from her native Perth, where she spent the holiday season, Dianne says: “It’s been really nice that I was able to come home and spend time with family – it’s hard living so far away. I really try to make the most of…

Football’s coming home for the Beckhams – at least for 20-year-old Romeo, who is following in his famous father’s bootprints by trying his hand at footy in the UK, after starting out in Miami. He’s begun a short-term loan spell at Premier League club Brentford’s B team, joining from his dad David’s Major League Soccer side Inter Miami’s second string. Watched by David and a star-struck crowd, the 20-year-old made his Bees debut in a London Senior Cup match (right) and impressed with his footwork. Romeo, who had trained with the club during Inter’s off season, shared the news on Instagram, posting photos including one (left) of him and David outside Brentford’s training ground with his new shirt. “An exciting start to the year,” he wrote. “Looking forward to the challenge.” Congratulations came…
