Michael Parkinson in his own words: How the talk show legend made Jane Fonda cry, refused to interview Barbara Streisand and made a fool out of himself with Clint Eastwood

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 19, 2023
MICHAEL PARKINSON: Fred Astaire was the one I was most awe of among the many celebrities to appear on Parkinson's; he was the one I was most awed of. I love dance, adore dancers, and have never seen anyone close to Astaire. "I dance like a truck driver," Gene Kelly told me. He dances like an aristocrat.' We asked Fred Astaire if he would dance on the show. He said his dancing days were over, but he'll perform a few of the songs that had been written for him. He was apprehension over the interview, but not sure he was interesting enough to warrant an hour long appearance.

This crazy good musical never puts a foot wrong: PATRICK MARMION reviews Crazy For You

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 7, 2023
PATRICK MARMION: Susan Stroman's coronation is obviously in order. She may be averse to such regal splendor, but her triumph of the 1992 Broadway hit Crazy For You (for which she was the original choreographer) secures her place among musical royalty. The only issue - now in the West End - that wowed Chichester last year - starring Charlie Stemp and Carly Anderson - might have been too polished for its own good. A few fluffs or falls may have made it more human. But it never puts a note or a foot wrong.

How billionaires are now circling Britain's most desirable house

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 1, 2023
The Holme, a four-acre house with views across a lake in Regent's Park, is expected to sell for £250 million, much more than the previous record holder, a 45-room mansion overlooking Hyde Park, which was sold three years ago for £210 million. Of course, as is the case with recent owners, whoever buys it will want to make it their own, most likely with a complete refurb costing at least £1,500 per square foot. On another level, a doer-upper on another level. Mind you, the transaction will be difficult. According to the Financial Times, the house is now in receivers' custody after its Saudi Arabian royal owners defaulted on a loan that was secured against the property and other assets.

Richard E. Grant has spoken out about the time his father fired a gun at him when he returned from a trip to the theater. As a youth in Swaziland, now known as Eswatini, the actor, 65, remembered the frightening moment his parent took a shot at him in a fit of rage. Despite the film's 18 rating, he crept out of the house at the age of 15 to see A Clockwork Orange at the theater.

Grade-II listed mansion with glass-walled toiles is up for sale for £5million

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 8, 2022
Despite having some unique features that may push some couples' boundaries as their toilets are deemed "ideal for male and hers acting competitions," the four-bedroom chalet has been described as a "millionaire's playground." A few celebrities, including Judy Garland, Charlie Chaplin, and Fred Astaire, have paid attention to the East Molesey property, but it is unknown if the exposed toilets were installed before or after the celebrities visited. Even though the master bedroom's en-suite is only partially lined with pains of clear glass, photographs of the gold-colored wet room flanked by two toilet cubicles facing each other.

Writes MIKE COLMAN explains the World Cup: The Australian spirit has pushed the Socceroos to new heights

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 1, 2022
'Australian fighting spirit has boosted.' We hear those words so often that they've become a cliché. Not to be confused with Queensland's spirit, Outback spirit, or Anzac spirit (which, it must be said, honors a loss), the Australian fighting spirit has risen to its highest level since Don Bradman was wearing short pants. Politicians, television presenters, and athletic coaches are all criticized. Wherever there is a flood, bushfire, or victory over the odds, there is always the effect of an advertisement jingle.

William Shatner, the Masked Singer, reveals who he is after appearing as Knight on season premiere

William Shatner, who appeared in a Knight costume, was one of two celebrities to be unveiled on Fox's season eight premiere on Wednesday. When riding on a golden goose, the 91-year-old legendary Star Trek captain performed wearing a Knight mask. Shatner said he couldn't believe it took him eight seasons to get to the show before he was announced. I was planning to be there for the hosting job, but Nick (Cannon) is having babies, so I guess he isn't going to anywhere.' Shatner quipped.

David Bowie's magical mind: BRIAN VINER reviews Moonage Daydream

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 16, 2022
David Bowie was a rock star like no other, and Moonage Daydream is a remarkably singular documentary about his ostensibly miraculous life but actually a journey of two hours in his ferocious mind. The last film I saw about Bowie was the hopelessly misconceived 2020 biopic Stardust, with a disastrously miscasting of Johnny Flynn as the man himself, an effort doubly hamstrung by the Bowie estate's refusal to encourage the use of his music.

Margaret Qualley was all smiles at the Toronto Film Festival for her latest film Sanctuary's world premiere. At the festival premiere, hosted at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto on Sunday, the 27-year-old actress and daughter of Andie MacDowell were all smiles. Christopher Abbott, director Zachary Wigon, and cinematographer Ludovica Isidori were among her co-stars on the red carpet, as she was welcomed on the red carpet by her co-star Christopher Abbott, producer Zachary Wigon, and cinematographer Ludovica Isidori.

PENNY JUNOR: The Queen loved Gary Barlow and took great delight in spotting howlers in Downton

www.dailymail.co.uk, September 10, 2022
JUNOR: It was only her family and friends who knew Elizabeth was real and knew she was something but bland. She had a quick wit, a strong sense of humor, and a keen sense of fun. "You immediately found yourself having conversations with the Queen," one former minister says. 'You probably didn't believe you were hearing.' 'She was both incredibly indiscreet and humular.' Not all that often, but you knew there was another person there who was mysterious and enchanting, as well as girlish. Every now and then, I had to pinch myself to hear what she was saying and the questions she was asking.'

Keep dancing @marinsanna!Hillary Clinton sticks up for Finland's party Prime Minister Sanna Marin

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 29, 2022
During a 2012 trip to Colombia as the state secretary of state, Hillary Clinton defended Sanna Marin's right to dance with a big smile on her face dancing with a big smile on her face in a packed dance in Cartagena. "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did," Clinton said along with the picture.' She did it backwards and in high heels." When I was in Cartagena for a meeting as Secretary of State, here's me. @marinsanna, keep dancing.' Marin retaliated, saying, 'Thank you @Hillary Clinton,' as well as including a heart emoji (inset). Marin dancing (right) and partying with a group of acquaintances and celebrities at a rooftop nightclub in central Helsinki was captured on a recently leaked video. Marin dancing provocatively with Finnish social media influencer Sabina Särkkä, 33, in the video. Some, including Clinton, said inappropriate behaviour for a prime minister, had been defended by critics, while others, including Clinton, defended the 36-year-old politician's right to attend a private gathering with friends.

Meet the animal dancers, from twerking bears to waggling bees

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 12, 2022
Celebrities of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels put on their best shapes on Strictly Come Dancing every year. However, some of our furry and feathered relatives may have a chance at the Glitterball Trophy, with steps that might have aided them in the wild. MailOnline looks at the best movers and shakers in the animal world as this year's line-up for the TV dance competition is revealed. Waggling honeybees tell each other the location of the freshest flowers, although neuroscientists are investigating it. A skunk's handstand may be impressive, but it does serve as a warning not to be concerned with something unpleasant if you're sprayed by something unpleasant. A chimpanzee conga line will certainly spice up a dull wedding reception, while the dung beetle's pirouettes are deserving of a 10 by Craig Revel Horwood.

Everyone Tom Holland Dated Before Falling For Zendaya

www.popsugar.co.uk, July 14, 2022
Tom Holland has always been very close to his love life, but in a July 2019 interview with Elle, he revealed a surprising tidbit about his love life. Holland said that, although he wasn't intimately involved with anyone at the time, he is "definitely a relationship person." "I'm not the fleeting type at all; it's not my way of life," he explained. Holland is busier than ever as a result of the Spider-Man franchise's success. He's filming "The Crowded Room," an Apple TV+ anthology film, and he's also slated as Fred Astaire in a forthcoming biopic.
