I was settling into myself.”’ It was part of her 21st century comeback after establishing herself with early hits from Stock, Aitken and Waterman and then dance label Deconstruction. But Can’t Get You . . . was, says Kylie: “Like riding a spaceship.” Most read in Showbiz It’s yet another career milestone for the much-loved Aussie, who has had a bumper few years. In May she hit the top spot on Netflix with her hard-hitting self-titled documentary series.

Jet back soon, Demi Demi Lovato shared a snap of herself riding a jetski in a colourful bikini while enjoying some downtime Credit: Instagram/ddlovato DEMI LOVATO knows how to keep cool for the summer. The former Disney star shared a snap of herself riding a jetski in a colourful bikini while enjoying some downtime from her It’s Not That Deep tour. But her holiday has gone by in a flash, as Demi will be back on stage tonight in Atlantic City. It’s been years since Demi performed in the UK, so we’re hoping she jumps over the pond to see her British fans soon.

She posed in her undies for a new campaign for Intimissimi as she prepared for her next show at Madison Square Garden in New York next Thursday. Lily first joined forces with the underwear giant at the start of the year.She said of their new range, called Pretty Flowers: “I picked my favourite balconette bra, the Sofia. “The shape and structure give the best support but without compromising on style.” IT’S DEJA VU FOR B*WITCHED B*Witched star Lindsay Armaou Credit: PR Handout NINETIES’ pop chart-toppers B*Witched are riding high after a series of huge live shows and will release a brand new EP later this year. The Irish group, whose first four singles topped the UK chart, are back doing what they do best 24 years after they were unceremoniously dropped by their record label. Their new single Firefly is out now and more music will follow. In an exclusive chat Lindsay Armaou said: “We have got some other songs in the bag which we’re going to release this year, so there will be a new EP.” Back in June, there were tears of joy as the group returned to the biggest of stages to support Boyzone over two nights at the Emirates Stadium in London. It was a family affair, B*Witched sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch are the sisters of Boyzone’s Shane, and emotions were high backstage. Lindsay added: “It was incredible on so many levels. “Who would have thought that almost 30 years after the release of C’est La Vie we’d be doing this still and in a stadium? “The fact that it was Boyzone as well was quite poignant.” IT’S funny what some celebs will do for money. Just take Rupert Grint for example. The actor, who played Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films, is reprising his role for a stint on Broadway in Harry Potter And The Cursed Child. Rupert has since come under fire from the trans community for the decision, after he previously said he was on their side in their row with J.K Rowling. Rupert said: “Ron Weasley has been a part of me since I was 11 years old and I can’t wait to meet him again at this stage of life.” I think what Rupert actually means is: “Playing Ron Weasley made me a shed load of money and now I want some more.” CHASE & STATUS are back with their brand new album, Generic Everything. It’s the follow up to the drum and bass outfit’s 2022 record What Came Before. The duo today dropped a new single, Gone Too Far featuring Debbie, from the new album – which is due to be released on October 9. Queens of The Stone Age have also confirmed their new record Perfecth, out October 30, with new single Insignificant Other out today. And if you’re looking for something new to listen to this weekend, try out new single Air, from rising electro artist SOPHIE GREY, who will also be performing at Manchester Pride tomorrow.

I’m told the Manchester City goal-machine’s inner circle spent Tuesday frantically running around The Midland Hotel in Manchester looking for a belt for him to wear, after his stylist forgot to pack one for the PFA Awards. As the day went on, my mole spotted his team becoming more and more erratic, with one practically begging someone to lend them a belt. But it turns out their sweating was all for nothing, as Erling ended up being so late – he missed the ceremony. Perhaps next time they should pack him a watch. Comment now
