Nicole Scherzinger tells POPSUGAR, "You have to take risks in life." Nicole Scherzinger talks to POPSUGAR a few hours before she arrives on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival. And those risks have unquestionably paid off for the singer throughout her career. It's difficult to believe it's been 18 years since Scherzinger burst onto the scene with her single "Don't Cha," and she's continued to be in the spotlight by seizing the majority of the opportunities that have arisen. Her most recent role, as a solo musician, primetime TV judge, and musical theatre actress, took her to the stage at the King's Coronation Concert on May 7th. "It's an honor to be able to perform on that stage for, not only the King himself, but also around the world," she says. "I love the British audience." "They've embraced me as one of their own and adopted me," says the author. I'm sure that being a Brit is able to share that moment. Scherzinger's ingenuity, passion, and undeniable talent have made her into a highly coveted Brit, making her the ideal complement to the royal line. Her performance of "Reflection" from Disney's "Mulan" as a pianist is even more impressive when she tells us she's never performed the song before.

George is like "whatevs." The Prince of Wales told King Charles, 'We're so proud of you,' and that he's no doubt the late Queen Elizabeth, the monarch's'very proud mother,' will be 'fondly' looking down from heaven.

Prince Louis, the Prince and Princess of Wales' youngest child, did not attend the festivities, but it wasn't George or Charlotte who carried out his mischievous antics in his absence. In reality, it was 40-year-old Prince William, who waved a Union Jack in front of Prince George's facial features, amused. William soon moved to Charlotte, though his daughter was less interested in her father's amusing behavior.

The BBC's sign language interpreter was wowed by the 'absolutely stunning' performance of the Coronation concert on yesterday.

The BBC Radio 1 DJ, who has been tasked with delivering the King's wishes at the event on Sunday evening, has expressed concern that it will be a "brilliant" way to begin the show in Windsor Castle's grounds. Tong said, 'He wanted Ibiza classics,' he told the PA news agency backstage.' 'We asked us to recommend a couple of songs and we suggested three or four, but one of them, and that's the one that's starting the performance, so they clearly had a hand in what we wanted to see.' When asked why he thought this was one of the playlist requests, he replied, "I think they want to showcase a large number of UK talent, target different demographics, and be relevant to various age groups."
