Twilight director names who would play Edward and Bella if film was made today
Twilight director names who would play Edward and Bella if film was made today
Anyone growing up in the late noughties will understand the cultural impact of Twilight (2008), but what would the casting choices look like if the film was made today? The movie adaptation follows the romance between human Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) catapulting the actors into stardom. There is much debate online amongst Twihards as to which stars of the 2020s would be able to play the role of these characters. Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the first film has her thoughts on this topic in a recent interview with Josh Horowitz on the Watch-a-long podcast. Horowitz mentioned that Priscilla actor Jacob Elordi is a popular choice for many people to play Edward. To which Hardwicke replied: "Oh, that would be perfect." "Jacob Elordi...I mean, he's amazing. He probably would be Edward today. Exactly." The podcast host also named Wednesday and Scream actor Jenna Ortega, as a potential Bella Swan - a suggestion that Hardwicke approved of. “I do think there’s a lot of really cool young actors today. Of course, you just mentioned Jenna Ortega, she’s amazing," she said. Pattinson famously criticised the Twilight series he starred in and Elordi similarly spoke out about his experience in the Kissing Booth trilogy where he rose to fame. “I didn’t want to make those movies before I made those movies,” he told GQ. “Those movies are ridiculous. They’re not universal. They’re an escape. "You have no original ideas and you’re dead inside. So it’s a fine dance,” the Australian actor added. While this hypothetical reboot cast with Elordi and Ortega sounds fantastic, there is already a different Twilight project in the works. Lionsgate is developing a Twilight TV series, the project is in its early stages, and it's reported that the author of the series Stephanie Meyer is involved but the project doesn't belong to a network or platform at the moment, as per Entertainment Tonight.

There's one dish you shouldn't order at a restaurant, according to Gordon Ramsay
There's one dish you shouldn't order at a restaurant, according to Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay knows a thing or two about the restaurant business, that much is pretty clear. He’s an authority on all things dining, with dozens of restaurants worldwide and seven Michelin stars, and according to him there’s one dish people should never order when it comes to eating out. That dish? The soup of the day. Speaking in a resurfaced interview with Town & Country, Ramsay said that restaurants can often reuse old produce and dress it up as a special. Giving people a word of advice, Ramsay said: "Ask what yesterday’s soup du jour was before today’s special. It may be the case that it’s the soup du month." So there you go – Ramsay knows best. In the same interview, he also said that he often asks waiters and waitresses for guidance when ordering at new restaurants. "It really depends on the restaurants, but servers tend to taste most of the dishes on the menu and can give you insight to what the chef has added or what locals love," he said. "Being on the road, I’ve gotten a lot of great recommendations from servers." It’s the first time that Ramsay’s been in the news since he was mercilessly mocked online after sharing the supposedly inspirational advice he received from his father-in-law. The celebrity chef was talking about getting the money together for his first flat with partner Tana back in the day, when he asked her father, Chris Hutcheson, for a loan.

New Netflix Christmas movie roasted as the 'worst of all time'
New Netflix Christmas movie roasted as the 'worst of all time'
There’s something charming about a cheesy Christmas movie – but Netflix users are really going in two-footed on the platform’s new festive film. Best. Christmas. Ever stars the likes of Brandy Norwood, Heather Graham, Jason Biggs and Matt Cedeño and has become one of the most popular films on the streaming service. As you might expect, it’s a tale of unlikely companions at Christmas time, with a pair of frenemies and their families brought together over the holidays by a “twist of fate”. Despite the film rising up through the ranks and becoming one of the most-watched films on Netflix, not everyone is a fan. The film has a rating of 33 per cent and some people took to social media to voice their criticism of the movie – with some calling it the “worst Christmas film ever”. Harsh. “On a scale of 1-10, the new Netflix movie ‘Best. Christmas. Ever!’ is the worst movie of all time #BestChristmasEver,” one slammed the film. “#BESTCHRISTMASEVER is probably my the worst Christmas movie I’ve seen in a long time…” another said. “Netflix’s new Christmas movie #BestChristmasEver is a dumpster fire,” another unhappy viewer wrote. Some, however, clearly absolutely loved it. One fan wrote: “#BestChristmasEver is the greatest Christmas movie of all time. You will laugh. You will cry. You will be confused at the plot changing every 10 seconds. And you will hate the main character whatever her name is. 10/10 loved every second.” https://twitter.com/k_thebeauty/status/1726392795185742102 “I live for a cheesy, confusing holiday movie with a plot I can barely understand. #BestChristmasEver,” another said.

Kanye West and Chris Brown branded 'sick' for laughing at explicit 'antisemitic' lyrics
Kanye West and Chris Brown branded 'sick' for laughing at explicit 'antisemitic' lyrics
Anyone hoping that Kanye West’s verbal attacks on Jewish people were a thing of the past has just been proven stomach-churningly wrong. Over the weekend, footage emerged of the disgraced rapper-producer, 46, dancing along elatedly to his new track ‘Vultures’. He was accompanied by that other paragon of male virtue, Chris Brown, 34, who bopped alongside him to some of the most offensive lyrics we’ve heard in a long time. In the song, which is a collaboration between West and Ty Dolla $ign, the former Mr Kim Kardashian says: “How I’m antisemitic (sic)? I just f***ked a Jewish bitch.” At that point, he and Brown beam at each other, before the song continues: “I just f**ked Scooter's b***h and we ran her like Olympics. Got pregnant in the threesome, so whose baby is it?” This appears to be a reference to Scooter Braun, Ye’s former manager, whom he fired in 2018. Last year, Braun divorced his wife of six years Yael Cohen Braun – a Canadian health activist and founder of a charity called “F**k Cancer” – who is Jewish. The clip, which has been widely circulated on social media, has understandably been met with horror and disgust. Sharing the video to Instagram, New York businesswoman Tanya Zuckerbrot asked: “What’s more sickening? The lyrics [...] Or the fact that both Kanye West and [Chris Brown] find it hysterical?” She followed up by branding the pair “sick, masochistic, antisemitic f**ks.” Thousands of others agreed, with one commentator writing: “Let the record industry chew on this. Let them never EVER work again.” Another urged viewers to block the two artists from their Spotify accounts, providing instructions on how to do so. While a third branded Brown and Ye “the two most problematic rappers of all time”. West, who lost his highest-profile contracts over hideous displays of antisemitism and Nazi veneration last year, continues to face demands to be axed from top streaming platforms. A year ago, a man from Milwaukee launched a petition calling on the likes of Spotify, Apple and Amazon Music to remove all of his solo tracks in a bid to “limit [his] influence on society”. Nathan Goergen wrote on the campaign’s Change.org webpage: “Kanye West has recently made statements praising Hitler and denying the Holocaust, after over a month of making harmful antisemitic statements. “Our society has no place for people who spread that kind of hate to be making millions off of their work. I call on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and other streaming platforms to immediately remove all of Kanye West’s solo albums and singles from their platforms. “By doing this, I hope that we can limit Kanye’s influence on society by eliminating his ability to make money off of people streaming his music. His statements are virtually irredeemable, and the time has finally come for him to receive a major punishment. We cannot let him continue to influence our youth and our society as a whole.” It has since garnered more than 95,000 signatures. And yet, the fact that the 46-year-old is still able to release songs featuring such offensive lyrics, and celebrate this alongside a convicted domestic abuser, shows that the world as a whole simply doesn’t care enough to prevent such despicable behaviour.

Kim Woodburn rages at Lorraine Kelly for 'body shaming' Nigel Farage
Kim Woodburn is fuming at Lorraine Kelly, accusing the presenter of 'fat-shaming' GB News' Nigel Farage after he stripped off in the jungle for I'm A Celebrity. Kelly appeared to focus on the former UKIP leader's looks during her show, rather than how he had performed. “She’s a stupid woman. Let’s face it. She’s like a child in the playground”, Woodburn scathed saying Kelly 'wasn't all that'. “Farage is doing a splendid job. He has been polite and courteous, done the trials and got every star."

Girls Aloud's most iconic moments as group reunites
Girls Aloud's most iconic moments as group reunites
Girls Aloud are set to reunite next year for a UK and Ireland arena tour, much to the delight of fans. Formed in 2002, the girl group comprised of Nadine Coyle, Cheryl, Nicola Roberts, Sarah Harding and Kimberley Walsh were put together on the ITV talent show Popstars: The Rivals and would go on to achieve hit songs such as 'Sound of the Underground', 'Love Machine', 'Call the Shots', 'The Promise', and 'Something New' (to name just a few). The band split in 2013 after completing a greatest-hits tour, and in 2021 Harding sadly passed away from breast cancer aged 39. Now, the girls are getting back together as a four-piece for the tour in memory of Harding. “It hasn’t felt right, until now, to do anything without her. But now we feel strong enough, emotionally," Cheryl told the BBC about the decision to reunite. Over two decades have passed since the girl group were formed, and in this time they achieved four UK Number 1 singles and 21 UK Top 10 singles. Furthermore, they have provided us with some classic pop culture moments which are still referenced to this day - here are 10 of Girls Aloud's most iconic moments. "It's about time," Sarah on Girls Aloud winning a Brit Award In 2009, Girl Aloud won their first Brit Award for their No 1 hit song 'The Promise', and upon taking to the stage for the acceptance speech, the late Sarah Harding declared: “It’s about time! ...I think I just wet myself." Ghost Hunting with Girls Aloud When they weren't achieving hits in the charts, the girls appeared on the 2006 TV special Ghost Hunting with Girls Aloud where they immersed themselves in the ghost-hunting experience in North Wales. Understandably, all of them were petrified and the show produced the hilarious moment where Cheryl said "Will you just tap the f***ing table?" "I was so annoyed at the time. I was genuinely like, ‘Why are they drooling on? Squire this, squire that. Just tell it what you want it to do, quickly,'" Cheryl told Gay Times earlier this year about the infamous moment. "So I just said, ‘If you’re here, just tap the f***ing table! Let’s cut the bulls****.’ And it did! Well, it either did or they were having me on. I still don’t know to this day." Things then came around full circle when Cheryl starred in the West End supernatural drama 2:22 A Ghost Story earlier this year. Walking up to the highest point in Greece @summatkindaooh Cheryl’s meltdown is so everything. “Do you care?” #cheryl #cherylcole #girlsaloud #nicolaroberts #kimberleywalsh #nadinecoyle #sarahharding #british #uk #uokhun When it comes to taking in the sights of a different city, not all of us are wanting to do strenuous activities - and Cheryl was definitely not in the mood to walk to the highest viewing point in Greece. On the band's E4 show Girls Aloud: Off the Record which aired back in 2006, Cheryl - sporting some huge noughties-style sunglasses - asks: 'Does anybody care that we are going to be at the highest point in Greece, does anybody care? "It smells of s***, that's what it is. S***. It's all a s***. I couldn't give a s***." To make matters worse, the singer was wearing heels for the cobbled hill walk - not exactly ideal. Nadine going viral with her Derry accent @aidan_fr17 Visit TikTok to discover videos! Whether it's saying "Christian Louboutin," "flour," "World War five," or whether she's a beach or a city girl, Nadine is known for her distinctive Derry accent which has led to old clips going viral on TikTok. And she responded to the TikTok trend in iconic fashion in 2022 when performing at Manchester Pride. ""Hey, don't we get a wild rough time having a Derry accent? So what if I like the beach and the city?" she said in a video posted by Gay Times. It was in reference to a snippet that went viral where she is walking along the beach and says "I'd never really thought of myself as kind of a beach girl, I may have thought I'm a city girl, but I am, I'm both..." Nicola's answer to 'beer or bubbly' @bestpopculture Queen behaviour #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #funnyvideo #lol #lmao #girlsaloud #cherylcole #cheryl #nicolaroberts #popmusic #music #funny #uk #british During an interview each member was asked if they preferred to drink "beer or bubbly," while most of the girls responded by choosing one over the other, Nicola had an honest and funny response of her own. "Neither... spirit," she replied. Woman of the people. One fan said: "Her delivery of her answer is iconic," while another added: "She’s so real for that." Kimberley dropping her fan mid-performance @bestpopculture icons aloud actually #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #funny #lmao #lol #hilarious #funnyvideo #girlsaloud #summer #popmusic #dance #pop #kimberleywalsh #cheryl #cherylcole #camp #longhotsummer During an appearance on GMTV back in 2005, Girls Aloud performed their single 'Long Hot Summer' to help promote their new album, Chemistry. As part of the performance, the girls were dancing with some well-rehearsed choreography that included using handheld fans - it being a long hot summer after all. However, Kimberley ended up dropping her fan on the floor and seamlessly continued doing the choreography sans the fan and perhaps she would've gotten away with it. Though the cameraman clearly wanted everyone to notice the mistake as the camera immediately panned to the fan on the floor while Nicola appeared to be holding in laughter from what happened. One person said: "The camera pan of the fan on the floor is shady but iconic," while another added: "Kimberley…Queen of Improv." Cheryl saying she ‘looks like a dickhead’ over the outfit @bestpopculture Icon #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #funny #funnyvideo #cheryl #girlsaloud #cherylcole #popstar #pop #popmusic #uk #british #lol #hilarious #lmao In one Girl Aloud: Off the Record episode, Cheryl made it abundantly clear that she was not happy at the fact Nadine had been sent to wardrobe ahead of a TV appearance, while she would just have to wear her own clothes. "Everybody else is dressed to the nines and I look like a tramp," she complained in the clip. Being sent to China as cultural ambassadors @bestpopculture LEGENDS ALOUD #fyp #foryoupage #funnyvideo #hilarious #lmao #lol #girlsaloud #cheryl #cherylcole #popmusic #uk #london #china #british #camp #music #pop In one episode of their E4 series Girl Aloud: Off the Record, the band went on an ambassadorial trip to Shanghai, China along with Mayor of London Ken Livingstone to help promote London. From Chinese people saying they didn't know who Girls Aloud were to the band performing their hit 'Biology' and immediately afterwards declaring how it went "terribly" and was their "worst performance," there were some hilarious moments from the trip. "Ken Livingstone looked to really be enjoying himself," Kimberley commented. "I kept looking just to see if he had a look of disdain because some of the moves are a little bit... not sexy but you know what I mean." She added how she was told China is a "prudish country," and added: "Maybe they think that we're all wh****." Nicola's savage skirt response When Busted guitarist Matt Willis called Nicola a “rude ginger b****," she hit back by wearing a mini skirt that the insult emblazoned on. Absolute scenes. Their cameo appearance in St. Trinian's Girls Aloud - St Trinians Chant www.youtube.com The girls, gays and theys who grew up in the noughties will no doubt remember Girl Aloud's cameo appearance in the girl power comedy St Trinian's (2007). In the clip at the end of the film, the band appeared as the St Trinian's School Band dressed up in the uniform and performed the St.Trinian's chant in front of the schoolgirls. The late Harding also starred in the sequel of St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold as rebel Roxy a new student at the school. Truly iconic. Presale for the Girl Aloud tour will begin on Wednesday 29 November at 9am with the general on sale Friday 1 December at the same time - more information on girlsaloud.com.
