Insidious: Out of the Further introduces a new central couple, Gemma and police officer Nick, while bringing back Lin Shaye as paranormal expert Elise. Amelia Eve, Brandon Perea and Shaye describe the film’s disturbing dentist-office sequence and other memorable moments, with Eve highlighting Gemma’s tragic past and relationship with Nick. Director Jacob Chase says he worked to honour the five previous films while telling an original story, and producer James Wan praises the film for balancing scares, emotional stakes and fun. The film is due to reach UK cinemas on Friday.

Insidious: Out of the Further is presented as one of the creepiest and most entertaining entries in the franchise, revitalizing its mythology by allowing supernatural entities from the Further to affect the real world. Amelia Eve and Brandon Perea are praised as effective successors to Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne, while Lin Shaye remains a strong connective presence. The film delivers particularly effective scares and moments of humor in its first half, but its finale becomes overextended and it offers little originality beyond the horror series itself.

Chrissie Hynde is seeking public help to find Nico, her five-year-old Jack Russell, who disappeared near Silkstream Park in Colindale, London, about two weeks earlier.

PETA has offered support by suggesting local posters, a reward, and contact with shelters and rescue groups. The article also provides background on Hynde’s long-standing connection to London and her career as a founding member of The Pretenders.

The first full-length trailer for Gina Prince-Bythewood’s Children of Blood and Bone introduces the West African-inspired fantasy world of Orïsha and its story of Zélie Adebola’s quest to restore magic stolen from her people. The Paramount Pictures film features a major cast led by Thuso Mbedu, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Damson Idris and Amandla Stenberg, and is scheduled for release on January 15, 2027. Its arrival is overshadowed by author Tomi Adeyemi’s public decision to distance herself from the adaptation and block Stenberg, with the reasons for the dispute still undisclosed.

Lee Andrews says he earned $5,830.27 in one week from Cameo, charging £41.16 for standard videos and £747.60 for business clips. He reportedly used some of the money to buy Katie Price diamond-studded earrings, while the couple also purchased a £2,000 Pomsky that attracted criticism because of Price’s history with pets. The report also revisits allegations that Andrews scammed former partners, which he denies, and discusses his planned hair transplant and recent release from a Dubai prison following a fraud arrest.

Jim Hanks has voiced Woody for Disney and Pixar merchandise, toys, games and theme-park appearances for about 30 years, while his brother Tom Hanks provides the character’s voice in the Toy Story films. Jim said Disney and Pixar carefully protect Woody’s vocal identity and explained that his resemblance to Tom has complicated his on-camera career but benefited his voiceover work. Addressing the possibility of AI replacing Tom in a future sequel, Jim said he would prefer to take over the role himself, though he expects Tom may continue voicing Woody. Jim is also supporting ODEON’s Play Them Forward toy-donation campaign, running June 27–28 across participating UK and Irish cinemas.

The photos show Hague with the newborn, Tommy supporting her during labour, and their daughter Bambi meeting her baby brother. Fury travelled from Manchester to attend the birth before returning to training, while Hague said the experience was her most enjoyable birth and that she is recovering well.

Idris Elba says he is not a realistic candidate to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond and argues that some global audiences would not accept a Black African man in the role. He believes the character should remain faithful to its established identity and function primarily as escapist entertainment rather than being reshaped to reflect contemporary tastes. The article notes Lashana Lynch’s earlier portrayal of the 007 designation, the leading contenders for the next Bond, and Amazon MGM Studios’ statement that the casting search is continuing.

Kanya King, founder and CEO of the MOBO Organisation, died peacefully on 3 June 2026 aged 57 after a battle with stage 4 colon cancer. She launched the MOBO Awards in 1996 after remortgaging her home, creating a major platform for Black British and other Black-origin music despite limited industry support. Tributes describe her as a fearless champion who legitimised and amplified Black music worldwide.

Artists and public figures including Idris Elba, Alesha Dixon and Oritse Williams paid tribute to her enduring influence.

Steven Bartlett has faced criticism after saying that two glasses of wine worsened his sleep, diet, podcasting, gym routine and other performance metrics for three days. BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James led the backlash, arguing that relentless tracking and self-optimisation can make people miserable and undermine ordinary enjoyment. Paloma Faith, Fearne Cotton, Yasmin Evans, Example, Julia Bradbury and Laura Jackson similarly defended spontaneity and living in the moment while acknowledging that avoiding alcohol can be beneficial for some people. Bartlett has previously said that data convinced him quitting alcohol improved his performance, while NHS guidance advises limiting consumption to no more than 14 units a week to reduce health risks.

Susan Boyle's dramatic new look and teased song “Just One” have prompted fans to speculate that she is secretly promoting a Cornetto advert. The theory points to the song title's connection to the 1981 Cornetto commercial, matching fonts and colours, Cornetto's comment on Boyle's Instagram post, and the use of “#ad.” No collaboration has been confirmed, while Boyle continues preparing a musical comeback after returning to the recording studio following a six-year absence and recovering from a major stroke in 2022.

Cynthia Erivo has asked interviewers to move on from discussing Wicked after two years of promotional coverage, saying the subject has become painful. She also addressed the Singapore red-carpet incident in which she protected Ariana Grande from an attacker, arguing that the mockery and assumptions about her being controlling or physically imposing reflected misogynoir. The commentary defends Erivo’s actions, criticizes the online abuse and dating rumors surrounding the co-stars, and suggests that the experience may still be affecting her.

Vogue Williams said she feels sympathy for Katie Price while arguing that Lee Andrews is likely a real person but potentially a con artist. The discussion follows conflicting accounts of Andrews’s whereabouts after he claimed he had been kidnapped and arrested for espionage in Dubai, while authorities described the matter as a private civil dispute. The article reviews allegations involving financial deception, prison stays, unpaid debts, scams against women and fabricated publicity, while noting that Katie Price continues to defend her husband and faces public scrutiny over the relationship.

Katie Price’s husband Lee Andrews has become the latest bizarre celebrity saga to give the UK a shared source of fascination and humor. The piece compares the episode with other unifying pop-culture moments, including Brooklyn Beckham’s public feud with David and Victoria Beckham, memes about Gary Barlow’s tall son Daniel, the Wagatha Christie court battle between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, mockery of the Jet2 advertisement, Celebrity Big Brother’s “David’s dead” misunderstanding, Robert Kelly’s interrupted BBC interview and the disastrous Willy Wonka Experience. While the events generated memes and comic reactions, the article also notes the distress, family turmoil and real-world consequences behind some of the entertainment.

Alana Percival has shared a December 2025 video that Lee Andrews allegedly sent while claiming to be in the UK, saying it showed him ice skating with family. Followers identified the rink as one in a Dubai shopping mall, adding to scrutiny of Andrews’ conflicting accounts about his location and personal life. Andrews, who is married to Katie Price, has reportedly faced a Dubai travel ban, imprisonment over debts and alleged fraud-related disputes. Price has reported him missing after losing contact, while his father claimed he was arrested in Dubai; Price has disputed that account. The story also revisits allegations that Andrews misrepresented his businesses, fabricated aspects of his lifestyle, solicited money from women and falsely claimed he had been kidnapped.
