Demi Lovato made a surprise appearance at the Jonas Brothers’ JONAS20 tour opening night at MetLife Stadium on 10 August.
Lovato reunited with Joe Jonas to perform Camp Rock hits This Is Me and Wouldn’t Change a Thing.
The reunion has reignited speculation about a potential Camp Rock 3 movie, 15 years after the last film.
Lovato’s husband, Jordan Lutes, publicly praised her performance and reunion with Joe.
The Jonas Brothers kicked off their JONAS20: Greetings from Your Hometown Tour on 10 August at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But the night’s biggest moment came when Demi Lovato walked on stage. The 32-year-old singer joined the band mid-set for a throwback performance of Camp Rock classics, sending the crowd into deafening cheers.
Lovato and Joe Jonas, who played Mitchie Torres and Shane Gray in the Disney Channel films, reunited to perform their signature duets This Is Me and Wouldn’t Change a Thing. The nostalgic moment marked their first on-stage performance together in years.

Why fans think Camp Rock 3 might be happening
The appearance has fuelled intense speculation online about a third Camp Rock movie. Social media users claim Lovato was spotted at a soundcheck with the Jonas Brothers earlier in the day, with some insisting Disney has already approached her to reprise her role.
Rumours suggest the potential sequel could be set 15 years after Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, reuniting original cast members for a modern storyline. While Disney has yet to confirm any plans, fans see the timing of Lovato’s performance as more than coincidence.
Lovato recently followed the Jonas Brothers on Instagram again, and the band has been dropping nostalgic references to their Disney era throughout the tour, both of which have only added to the frenzy.
Lovato and the Jonas Brothers first worked together in 2008’s Camp Rock, later touring together and collaborating on Lovato’s debut album. Over the years, their friendship endured public highs and lows, including the Jonas Brothers’ hiatus and Lovato’s personal struggles.
However, their public interactions became rare after 2018, with Lovato notably absent from both Nick and Joe’s weddings. Sunday’s reunion, therefore, wasn’t just a Disney throwback. For many, it felt like a reminder of their enduring professional connection despite years apart.

Joe and Demi’s playful backstage moments
After the show, Joe Jonas posted a TikTok of him and Lovato lip-syncing to Wouldn’t Change a Thing, delighting fans who have long shipped their on-screen pairing. Lovato also shared clips from the night, including a reenactment of a viral old interview, and thanked the band in an Instagram post.
The reunion extended beyond the stage. Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, another Camp Rock alum, co-hosted the official livestream alongside Franklin Jonas, the youngest Jonas brother, who also joined the family on stage for the finale When You Look Me in the Eyes.
Lovato’s husband, musician Jordan Lutes, showed nothing but support for the reunion. Commenting on her Instagram reel, he left clapping and laughing emojis, later posting on his Stories that he “couldn’t be more proud” of his wife.
His reaction quickly became a talking point online, with fans praising the couple’s open support for each other’s past and present collaborations.

With the JONAS20 tour now underway and the possibility of Camp Rock 3 gaining traction, the Disney nostalgia wave shows no signs of slowing down. For fans, seeing Mitchie and Shane back on stage was more than a performance, it was a promise that some on-screen magic might be about to return.
Comedian Kathy Griffin admits to having her third facelift along with eyelid and chin surgery.
The Emmy-winning star credits Beverly Hills surgeon Dr Ben Talei, who has also worked with singer Sia.
Griffin shared the recovery was “painful” and detailed the difficult first days post-surgery.
The My Life on the D-List star has a long history with cosmetic procedures dating back to her 20s.
Kathy Griffin is once again making headlines, not for her comedy, but for her latest cosmetic transformation. The 64-year-old comedian was photographed in Malibu this week looking noticeably more youthful after confirming she had undergone her third facelift, along with additional work on her eyelids and chin.
Griffin, known for her sharp wit and unapologetic honesty, was seen leaving a Pilates class wearing an orange T-shirt reading “Adopt, Don’t Shop,” navy leggings, black flats, and oversized orange sunglasses. Her signature red hair was tied back in a high ponytail as she carried a patterned tote bag in the bright California sun.
The stand-up comic confirmed the surgery on her Talk Your Head Off podcast, telling listeners, “Yes, it’s my third. I know that’s so vain! No one has ever gone to a Kathy Griffin show to see her beautiful, youthful face. You come to hear my jokes.”

Who performed Kathy Griffin’s facelift?
Griffin named Beverly Hills-based Dr Ben Talei as the surgeon behind her latest procedures. Talei is also known for performing a facelift on global pop star Sia, whose before-and-after results Griffin described as “the best” she had ever seen.
This round of surgery included a facelift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), a fox eye lift, and chin work. “There’s a stitch in my chin, which you’re probably not going to see unless you’re under me, but not in that way,” she joked.
Far from glamorising the experience, Griffin admitted the healing process was challenging. “I’m going to be honest, it’s painful,” she said. “So, these people who say it’s like getting a tooth filled? No. It’s painful.”
She described the immediate aftermath in blunt detail, saying she spent the first days in a “rich lady recovery place” before going home with a nurse. “The first night there are drains that come out of your chin… it’s disgusting. But the vanity takes over,” she confessed.
Kathy Griffin’s long history with cosmetic surgery
Griffin has been open about cosmetic procedures since her early career. She had her first nose job at 26 after being told repeatedly she would “work more” with a smaller nose. Over the years, she’s had breast augmentation, a brow lift, liposuction, facial peels, and now three facelifts.
Her 2009 memoir, Official Book Club Selection, included unfiltered post-surgery images, something she says she shared to show the reality behind the procedures. “I want women to know what lipo looks like. Are you sure you don’t want to just work out a little more?” she wrote at the time.

Why is Kathy Griffin talking about it now?
While many celebrities keep cosmetic work private, Griffin has built her brand on telling uncomfortable truths, whether about Hollywood politics, her health, or her appearance. Her candid approach continues to spark public conversation about the pressures women, especially in entertainment, face to maintain a youthful image.

Her latest facelift adds to a decades-long discussion she’s had with her audience about beauty standards, body image, and self-acceptance, even if she admits that a touch of vanity still plays a role.

Dua Lipa marks milestone birthday in Ibiza wearing custom Jacquemus gown
Dua Lipa began celebrating her 30th birthday ahead of her 22 August milestone while vacationing in Ibiza.
Joined by fiancé Callum Turner, her mother Anesa, and sister Rina, the singer wore a custom white sequin cutout gown by Jacquemus.
The celebrations included a seaside lunch, a berry-topped chocolate cake, and intimate moments with family and friends.
The couple confirmed their engagement in June after Turner reportedly sought advice from Lipa’s sister and close friends on the ring.
Dua Lipa is making her milestone year one to remember, kicking off her 30th birthday celebrations more than a week early with a sun-soaked getaway to Ibiza. The Levitating singer, whose actual birthday falls on 22 August, shared glimpses of the intimate gathering on Instagram on 12 August, featuring her fiancé Callum Turner, immediate family, and close friends.
The star’s chosen venue for the festivities was the Spanish island she has often called her “favourite place in the world.” She captioned her post:
“Early birthday celebrations on my favourite island with my favourite people wearing the most gorgeous dress Simon made for me... I can't bloody wait for 30!!!! 🤍”
Her Instagram carousel showed moments from a scenic villa with ocean views, laughter-filled lunches, and a decadent birthday cake topped with raspberries, cherries, and redcurrants.

The custom Jacquemus gown that turned heads
Fashion took centre stage at the celebration as Dua Lipa wore a striking white sequin floor-length gown designed by her close friend Simon Porte Jacquemus. The daring design featured high-neck detailing, a dramatic open back, and bold cutouts at the hip, revealing matching white sequin underwear.
She accessorised the look with silver star earrings, stacked bangles, and a mix of gold and silver rings, including her eye-catching diamond engagement ring. Her hair was styled in loose mermaid waves, and her makeup remained minimal to highlight her sun-kissed skin.
Paris Hilton left a heart-eyed emoji in the comments, while Jacquemus wrote: “Love you ma chérie ❤️.” Fans flooded the post with birthday wishes and requests for the dress, with one follower writing, “Simon, please, I need this dress!”
Inside the intimate celebration with Callum Turner
Lipa and Turner, who got engaged in June, appeared inseparable throughout the trip. In one photo, the Masters of the Air actor cheekily rested his hand on his fiancée’s hip as they posed poolside. The couple’s relaxed holiday wardrobe also caught attention as Turner opted for an airy blue-and-white striped shirt with loose linen trousers and tinted sunglasses.
The romance has been in the public eye since late 2023, with Lipa revealing to British Vogue that Turner sought input from her sister Rina and best friends before selecting the engagement ring. “I’m obsessed with it. It’s so me,” she said in the interview.

A summer of travel before turning 30
The Ibiza trip is the latest in a whirlwind summer for the Grammy winner, who has balanced stops on her Radical Optimism tour with luxurious holidays. In recent months, she’s been spotted on the Amalfi Coast, in the South of France, and in Albania for her Sunny Hill Festival.
Known for her bold vacation wardrobe, Lipa has worn everything from neon bikinis to bridal-inspired gowns. But this celebration called for something extra special, and the custom Jacquemus dress delivered.

Ed Sheeran dresses as bride to marry Rupert Grint in A Little More music video
Harry Potter’s Rupert Grint stars in Ed Sheeran’s new music video A Little More, released ahead of album Play.
Video serves as a 14-year follow-up to their 2011 collaboration Lego House.
Sheeran plays multiple characters, including a bride at Grint’s wedding.
Play will release worldwide on 12 September 2025.
Ed Sheeran has brought back one of his most memorable music video characters: Rupert Grint’s obsessive fan from Lego House, in his new single A Little More. The video, directed by Emil Nava, brings together dark comedy, absurdity, and nostalgia, serving as a loose sequel to their 2011 hit.
This time, the Harry Potter star plays a man freshly released from prison after serving 14 years for stalking Sheeran. The track is part of Sheeran’s upcoming album Play, set for release on 12 September 2025.

What happens in A Little More music video?
In A Little More, Grint’s character tries to rebuild his life after prison. He joins a “Stalkers Anonymous” support group, attends therapy, and takes a job cleaning a mansion. There, he meets a woman played by Game of Thrones and Fast & Furious actress Nathalie Emmanuel, leading to a romance and wedding proposal.
But his recovery is far from smooth. Sheeran appears everywhere, from a prison guard and therapist to a gym trainer and wedding guest. The surreal twist comes during the wedding ceremony: when Grint lifts the bride’s veil, it’s Sheeran staring back, dressed in full bridal attire. The video closes with the pair slow-dancing under a disco ball.
Behind-the-scenes: Ed Sheeran in 60 different costumes
In behind-the-scenes footage shared on Instagram, Sheeran revealed the unusual concept was his idea. “The story is that Rupert gets out of prison after stalking me for years, then starts seeing me everywhere. I had to get Rupert for it. It wouldn’t work with anyone else,” he said.
The shoot lasted five days, the longest of Sheeran’s career, and required around 60 costume changes. “It’s basically a movie,” director Emil Nava joked. Sheeran appears as a priest, garbage collector, gym-goer, and even in the wedding dress. Emmanuel joined the project at short notice, describing it as “fun and wonderfully weird.”
The A Little More storyline directly nods to Lego House, where Grint portrayed an obsessed fan who sneaks backstage at Sheeran’s concert. Fourteen years later, the new video imagines what happened after that obsession landed him in jail.
The single’s lyrics mirror the tension between admiration and resentment, with lines such as, “Life got better when I lost you, but every day I hate you just a little more.” This whole emotional thread underpins the otherwise comedic visuals.

Ed Sheeran’s new album Play and other collaborations
A Little More follows Sheeran’s recent singles Sapphire (including a Hindi-Punjabi duet with Arijit Singh), Azizam, and Old Phone. The new album marks a departure from his previous “math symbol” titles and is expected to feature a mix of personal storytelling and experimental sounds.
In the run-up to the release, Sheeran has worked with an eclectic list of artists, from Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan to British and American musicians, showing his intent to make Play an international crossover record.
A clip of Grint lifting the veil to reveal Sheeran in a wedding dress has been widely shared online, sparking a wave of amused reactions. Many fans called it a “perfect full circle” moment after Lego House, while others praised both stars for leaning into the absurdity.

Sheeran’s decision to revisit the character after over a decade has been seen as a nostalgic nod to fans who have followed him since his early career, with the added bonus of a bizarre but heartwarming reunion.

Leonardo DiCaprio photographed arriving at the Patrón and Arón Piper hosted event in Ibiza
Leonardo DiCaprio was briefly stopped and searched by Spanish Civil Guard officers outside a private tequila party in Ibiza.
Girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti was also reportedly subjected to a security pat-down.
The event, hosted by Patrón and actor Arón Piper, was attended by several A-listers including Kendall Jenner and Tobey Maguire.
Rapper Travis Scott was denied entry for undisclosed reasons.
Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio found himself in an unusual situation when Spanish police temporarily delayed his entry to an exclusive Ibiza party. The 50-year-old star, best known for roles in Titanic, The Great Gatsby, and Killers of the Flower Moon, was with his girlfriend, Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, and a group of friends when officers stopped them for a routine security check outside a private villa.
The event was hosted by tequila brand Patrón in collaboration with Spanish actor-singer Arón Piper. Videos shared online show DiCaprio dressed casually in an all-black outfit and his trademark baseball cap, patiently scrolling through his phone while officers checked his pockets. In the clip, a woman believed to be Ceretti can be heard saying, “They are searching me full on right now.”

Why Leonardo DiCaprio was searched at the Ibiza party
According to sources quoted by Page Six, the incident was not a targeted stop but part of a blanket security policy for all guests. “Every single person was patted down and had to show ID,” an insider said, adding that the officers initially did not recognise DiCaprio. “They did a double take, and then he went in!”
The party’s guest list was filled with international celebrities, including model Kendall Jenner and DiCaprio’s long-time friend Tobey Maguire. Witnesses say DiCaprio remained calm throughout the process, even chatting and joking with the officers before entering.

Travis Scott denied entry to the same event
While DiCaprio eventually made it past security, rapper Travis Scott reportedly wasn’t as lucky. Multiple outlets have claimed that he was denied entry to the same party, though no official reason has been given. The incident adds to a string of recent reports highlighting the strict access rules at high-profile Ibiza gatherings.
Scott has been seen in Ibiza in recent weeks, performing at clubs and attending private events, but this particular villa party appeared to have tighter security than most.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti’s Ibiza summer
DiCaprio and Ceretti have been romantically linked since meeting at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival during the premiere of Killers of the Flower Moon. The pair have spent much of this summer in Europe, often photographed together in glamorous settings.
Just days before the Ibiza party, the couple joined Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his partner Lauren Sánchez for a trip aboard Bezos’s £400 million (₹4,200 crore) superyacht. They were spotted dining at exclusive Balearic Island restaurants and lounging on deck during the yacht’s stop in Ibiza.

DiCaprio’s upcoming film project
On the professional front, DiCaprio’s most recent big-screen role was in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, a historical crime drama adapted from David Grann’s 2017 non-fiction book. The film earned multiple Academy Award nominations earlier this year.
Next, DiCaprio will star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s action-thriller One Battle After Another, slated for release at the end of September. The project is expected to draw significant attention from both critics and audiences, given Anderson’s track record and DiCaprio’s enduring box-office appeal.

Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the screen with ANEMONE directed by Ronan Day-Lewis
Daniel Day-Lewis stars in Anemone, his first film since 2017’s Phantom Thread.
The film is directed and co-written by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis.
World premiere set for New York Film Festival, 26 Sept – 13 Oct 2025.
Co-stars include Sean Bean, Samantha Morton, and Samuel Bottomley.
After walking away from Hollywood in 2017, three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis is returning to the big screen in Anemone, a family drama co-written with and directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis. The comeback project will premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival before heading to cinemas in October.
This is the first time audiences will see Day-Lewis in a feature film since Phantom Thread, which he had declared would be his last. His unexpected return has generated huge interest, not only for his performance but for the unique father-son collaboration behind the camera.

What is Anemone about?
Set in Northern England, Anemone follows middle-aged suburban man Stephen, played by Sean Bean, who leaves his comfortable life to seek out his estranged hermit brother, portrayed by Day-Lewis. The brothers are bound by a painful, unresolved history marked by political and personal trauma.
The official synopsis describes the story as an “emotional powerhouse” that navigates strained family bonds, long-buried secrets, and the possibility of redemption. Supporting roles are played by Samantha Morton, Samuel Bottomley, and Safia Oakley-Green. Cinematographer Ben Fordesman brings the drama to life with wide, atmospheric visuals.
Day-Lewis shocked the film industry when he announced his retirement shortly before the release of Phantom Thread. At the time, he issued a rare statement saying he would “no longer be working as an actor” and offered no further explanation.
In a later interview, he admitted the decision came from a deep, personal need to step away: “I didn’t want to get drawn back into another project. The impulse to quit became a compulsion. I need to believe in the value of what I’m doing; lately, it wasn’t enough.”
His withdrawal from acting added to his mystique, given his reputation as one of the most selective and immersive performers in cinema.

When will Anemone be released?
Anemone will have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, which runs from 26 September to 13 October 2025. Focus Features will release the film in select US cinemas on 3 October, followed by a wider release from 10 October. UK release dates are expected to follow.
The film is already drawing attention as a major awards season contender, with industry watchers eager to see if Day-Lewis’ return could put him back in the race for a fourth Best Actor Oscar.
Daniel Day-Lewis’ legacy in film
Widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of his generation, Day-Lewis remains the only performer to have won three Academy Awards for Best Actor for My Left Foot (1989), There Will Be Blood (2007), and Lincoln (2012). Known for his method acting and long preparation periods, his limited filmography has only heightened his reputation.
His return in Anemone is a rare reappearance from a performer who once seemed determined never to face the camera again. With the added layer of working alongside his son, the project merges personal and professional storytelling in a way that is certain to intrigue both critics and audiences.
