‘Most beautiful soul…’ Victoria Beckham gushes over Jackie Apostel

Victoria Beckham declares Jackie Apostel as the “most beautiful soul”.

Victoria Beckham

The 51-year-old fashion designer-and-singer took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday (18.10.25) to post a series of gushing messages for her 20-year-old son Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend, on what is her 30th birthday.

Writing over a photo of her with the songwriter dressed in black gowns in the back of a car, Victoria wrote: “To the sweetest, kindest, most beautiful soul.

“We all love you soooooo much!!! (sic)”

In a second Instagram Story, the Spice Girls group member and Jackie can be seen riding in the back of a car while wearing matching gray suits.

She penned: “Happy birthday!!!!! Love you!!! (sic)”

And in Victoria’s third story, Jackie can be seen smiling, dressed in a baby blue dress, and her left leg kicked back while Cruz, who sported a black tuxedo, kissed her right cheek.

Victoria wrote: “Happy birthday.

“We hope you have an amazing day and can’t wait to celebrate you!!!

“We all love you @jackie.apostel. (sic)”

Cruz and Jackie have been romantically linked since they were spotted together at the Glastonbury Festival in Pilton, Somerset, South West England, in July 2024.

Since then, the singer has grown close to Victoria and his 50-year-old dad, former professional footballer David Beckham, and she joined the rest of the Beckhams – Romeo, 23, and 14 year old Harper – at the fashion designer’s eponymous Netflix documentary premiere in London on October 8.

Taking to Instagram after the event, held at Curzon Mayfair, Jackie penned: “@victoriabeckham, we are all so in awe of you.

“To me, it’s the little things such as the fact that you wake up every morning, positive and ready to be a bright light to everyone around you that might need it, no matter what is going on with yourself.

“You want every single person you love to succeed and do their best and will do anything you can to help them, and gladly.

“On top of the unbelievably smart business woman that no doubt you are, that is definitely what impresses me the most every day. your resilience and drive is inspiring.

“glad everyone gets to see a little glimpse of the hard working, intelligent and hilarious person you are in this doc. we love u! (sic)”

Victoria gushing over Jackie and their appearance at the premiere of her Netflix documentary comes as Victoria and David’s eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 26, is thought to be estranged from the rest of the family.

Victoria recently shared how she and David are “really close to the kids”, but did not say a word about Brooklyn – who married 30-year-old actress Nicola Peltz Beckham in 2022.

Victoria told the Sunday Times newspaper’s Culture magazine: “Harper’s still 14, so she’s living at home. So is Cruz, who is 20. I see both of them every day.

“Romeo doesn’t live at home, so I see a little less of him.”

‘Bold and the Beautiful’ Star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Shares First Photo of Baby No. 5

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Ahead of her return to The Bold and the Beautiful, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood has shared a life update with her fans, revealing the first photos of her fifth son, who was born back in July.

The soap star, who went on maternity leave this summer, took to her Instagram page on Monday (October 13) to share a carousel of photos and videos of family life. “A little slice of paradise,” she captioned the post, which begins with a group of ducklings swimming in the kitchen sink.

Other photos show Wood’s home birth, with her sitting in the bathtub. The third snap sees Wood kissing her husband, Creative Artists Agency talent agent Elan Ruspoli, while cradling her newborn child. Other pics show her carrying her new baby and enjoying family time with her other four boys.

“Welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby boy at home 🕊✨,” Wood shared in a follow-up comment. “This season has been all about being still, soaking in every precious moment, and embracing the quiet magic of new beginnings. Social media took a little back seat, but I’m so happy to be back and say hello again 🤍.”

Wood and Ruspoli now share five sons: Rise Harlen (born March 2019), Lenix (born February 21, 2021), Brando Elion (born May 2022), Valor James (born August 27, 2023), and their most recent, born in July.

The Bold and the Beautiful producer Casey Kasprzyk commented on Wood’s post, writing, “The life you and Elan have created is so beautiful ❤️.”

“Beauty & love all around ❤️,” added The Young and the Restless star Lauralee Bell.

Bold and the Beautiful alum Katrina Bowden wrote, “Congratulations 🩵 this is a gorgeous life, so happy for you! Plus these ducks are just 😍😍.”

While Wood has been soaking in family life over the summer, she is ready to step back into the shoes of heiress Steffy Forrester Finnegan on The Bold and the Beautiful. The multi-time Daytime Emmy winner returned to the set in September and has been filming new episodes.

Wood’s return to the long-running soap is rapidly approaching, as a recent episode saw Taylor (Rebecca Budig) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) confirming that Steffy was heading home.

Here’s What Mumtaz Once Said About Getting Face Fillers!
Bollywood

“If That Makes Me Look Beautiful…”

What Did Mumtaz Say About Getting Face Fillers? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Veteran Bollywood actress Mumtaz is truly the epitome of beauty and talent. Although she has retired from acting, Mumtaz dominated the silver screen in the 1970s and was one of the highest-paid actresses in the industry at the time.

Actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Shilpa Shetty, Khushi Kapoor, and others have been vocal about getting cosmetic surgeries done, despite facing heavy criticism and trolling online. Let’s revisit the time when legendary actress Mumtaz shared her views on the same.

Mumtaz On Using Face Fillers

In a conversation with The Times of India back in July, Mumtaz opened up about using cheek fillers every four months. The Prem Kahani actress shared, “If you don’t work out, you won’t look good. I have not done any facelifts, but sometimes when I am too tired, I do use fillers on the left and right side of the face. Usse chal jaata hai ek do mahina. I do it once every four months. I don’t feel the need to go under the knife till now.”

Mumtaz’s Opinion On Plastic Surgery

Sharing her opinion on the idea of plastic surgery, the 77-year-old actress said, “If you feel there is anything less in you, then you must rectify it. It is not a crime to change it. Everybody wants to look good and beautiful. Even if I feel like I need something I need to work on, I will change it. Even if I have to do plastic surgery, I will do it. If that makes me look beautiful, why not? Everybody should do it.”

Mumtaz On Her Beauty Secrets

In an interview with Radio Nasha Official earlier this year, Mumtaz revealed her beauty secrets. She shared, “I am very strict about food. I don’t eat much. I don’t eat the wrong things. I do a lot of exercise; I take care of my face and my hair; I make my own mask. And I am very particular about timings. I sleep at around 9 or 10 pm, and I wake up at around 4 or 5 am. I do my exercise at 7 o’clock, and then I drink black tea, followed by very little breakfast. I have my lunch, and I don’t have dinner, and instead I eat some fruits.”

Taylor Swift’s Speech At Selena Gomez’s Wedding: A Beautiful Tribute To Friendship | Glamsham.com

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Taylor Swift recently delivered an emotional and sincere speech at Selena Gomez’s party with Benny Blanco, a lovely moment in the 17-year friendship the two share. Entertainment Tonight states that it was revealed by an insider that Swift’s toast was “pretty long” and very personal, full of inside jokes and memories that they shared and revealed the extent of their friendship.

Us Weekly wrote that Swift looked back on Gomez’s path from heartbreak to healing, remembering instances where she’d seen Selena “crying on the floor” when her relationships fell apart. She put those sad scenes in contrast to the happiness Gomez has discovered with Benny Blanco, referring to it as “a best friend’s dream” to see such joy. Her words were an endearing sketch of two friends who have been through the ups and downs of life together.

The Daily Mail reported that Swift’s heartfelt speech had many of the guests, including Gomez, crying. She explained how their friendship has always been deeper than just a superficial friendship, labeling their bond as sisters rather than friends. Swift noted how they’ve always been there for each other even in personal and professional issues.

With a dash of humor, Swift playfully teased her own betrothal to NFL player Travis Kelce, quipping that Gomez had “beaten her to the altar.” She went on to commend Benny Blanco, referring to him as “the most perfect person” for Selena and adding, “It isn’t luck that they found each other, it’s love.”

Swift’s toast was not just a tribute to Gomez’s new chapter, but also an ode to their long-standing friendship. It was a mix of heartfelt reminiscences, sisterly love, and playful teasing, and was generously billed as one of the highlights of the celebration. Since then, the singer has been applauded by fans for once again proving that her friendship with Gomez is one of the closest and most revered in Hollywood.

Demon Slayer Sets Box Office Record as Him, Big Bold Beautiful Journey Flop Overseas

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Two new Hollywood releases, Universal’s sports thriller “Him” and Sony’s romantic drama “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” were outright rejected by overseas audiences.

“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell as strangers whose meet-cute takes them on the journey of a lifetime, flopped at the international box office with $4.5 million from 45 markets. Meanwhile the Jordan Peele-produced “Him,” a disturbing mind-bender about a football player with aspirations to be the greatest of all time, fumbled even harder with $400,000 from 25 territories. Both films were saddled with terrible reviews and disappointing audience scores.

“Him” at least started stronger at the domestic box office with $13.5 million, boosting the film’s global tally to $13.86 million. It carries a modest $27 million production budget. Justin Tipping directed “Him,” which stars Marlon Wayans as an aging quarterback who trains a young up-and coming football player (Tyriq Withers) to chilling consequences.

“Sports themes do not travel well overseas, and the sport in this film — American football — is uniquely American in its popularity,” says analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. “But the picture cost a reasonable $27 million to make, so it can cover its costs on domestic business alone.”

“A Big Bold Beautiful Journey,” however, crumbled in its North America debut as well with $3.5 million for a worldwide haul of $8 million. The film has yet to release in major markets like France, Italy and South Korea.

“The film should do better in foreign markets, but the production cost was high — that’s a big number to recoup,” Gross adds of “A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.”

Luckily Sony is riding high with “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle,” which just became the highest-grossing anime film ever with $555 million globally. The film is backed by Sony-owned Crunchyroll in North America, the United Kingdom and Brazil, as well as Toho and Aniplex in Japan and other Asian markets. “Demon Slayer” topped overseas charts again with $36 million from markets where Sony’s Crunchyroll is handling the rollout. So far the film has earned a total of $451 million internationally and $104 million domestically. “Infinity Castle” is the first in planned three-film series about a boy who becomes a demon slayer to avenge his family and find a cure for his sister who was turned into a demon.

Universal, meanwhile, had slightly better luck overseas with “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale,” which added $8.3 million from 35 markets in its second weekend of release. The film, a continuation of the popular TV show, has generated $27.9 million overseas and $31.6 million domestically to date, bringing its global total to $59.5 million. The studio says those ticket sales are above 2022’s “Downton Abbey: A New Era” at the same point in its predecessor’s theatrical run. Neither film could reach the box office heights of the first cinematic feature, 2019’s “Downton Abbey,” which became a huge hit to the tune of $194.6 million globally.

'Big Bold Beautiful Journey' Bombs; 'Demon Slayer' No. 1

‘Big Bold Beautiful Journey’ Bombs; ‘Demon Slayer’ No. 1

by jummy84
written by jummy84

SUNDAY AM: The slow weekend belongs to the second frame of Sony/Crunchyroll’s Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle with $17.3M. Universal’s Him slowed down in its run to $13.5M for second place. One weekend, Sony is a rich man in Demon Slayer, and a poor man with A Big Bold Beautiful Journey which is crashing with $3.5M.

Demon Slayer spiked 62% in its second Saturday to $7.3M over its second Friday of $4.5M. Him went down on Saturday by -33% to $4.3M from a first Friday/previews of $6.4M. Critical reviews on Him and Big Bold Beautiful Journey were atrocious respectively at 29% and 37% with PostTrak on both movies in the low 60% range and 2 1/2 stars.

All titles look to be around $77.8M, which is down 48% from last weekend, yet only -4% off from a year ago when Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was still the thing in its third weekend with $25.9M and Paramount had the animated Transformers One which bowed to $24.6M.

More…

SATURDAY AM: After two weekends of overperforming, the September box office steps on the brakes, down -49% from last weekend to roughly $77M. Sony/Crunchyroll’s Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and Universal/Monkeypaw’s Him are arguably in a dead heat with $15M-$16M apiece— it’s still too early to call which one is No. 1 even though Sony and Universal have relegated themselves to No. 1 and No. 2.

Infinity Castle is playing exactly like an anime movie, completely front-loaded, with a second weekend drop at -77%, but as we told you, the highest grossing anime movie at the domestic box office is expected to cross $100M today.

Him won Friday with $6.47M and a C- CinemaScore, with Rotten Tomatoes ratings at 28% Critics, 58% audience score. Universal is calling the Jordan Peele produced movie at $15M in second currently, with an anticipated drop on Sunday due to NFL games of -37% for the football horror movie.

Here’s the sad news of the weekend, and everyone saw this coming: Sony’s play for female moviegoers with the Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell star-studded romance drama, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, is finding no road at the box office with $3.5M for the $50M studio acquisition in 6th place. The movie wasn’t developed or produced by Robbie’s LuckyChap. The Sony release is getting beaten by an animated movie and a horror film with a fresh face actor and 1990s comedian (Tyriq Withers and Marlon Wayans). Many sound the bell for original movies, which this project was, a hot title off The Black List, penned by Seth Reiss and directed by rising auteur Kogonada. However, what this shows is that star power alone attached to non-IP fare, can’t pull in moviegoers when its weighted down by poor critical reviews (this movie panned at 38% with great complaints over its pace), and not-so-hot audience scores with a 44% definite recommend and 2 1/2 stars on Screen Engine/Comscore’s PostTrak as well as a B- CinemaScore. Oy.

That said, I understand that the stars and everyone involved had a beautiful experience making the film. In the end the movie didn’t mirror what the script was.

By comparison, the specialty adult summer play, A24’s Materialists, with Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, looks like a blockbuster with an $11.3M domestic opening (and now $100M+ global gross for the net $20M movie). But that had better views at 79% certified fresh. Interestingly enough, Materialists and Big Bold Journey have the same audience exits of B- and mid 60% RT popcorn score.

To that point, some tell me that perhaps, Big Bold Beautiful Journey should have been positioned as a specialty play given its patina, versus a commercial mainstream romance movie. Luckily, the movie isn’t the lowest opening or wide break for either Robbie or Farrell. For Robbie, the movie is under the starts of such misfires Babylon ($3.6M) and Amsterdam ($6.4M) and for Farrell it’s under Seven Psychopaths ($4.2M opening) and above Voyagers ($1.4M).

Despite having a social media reach according to RelishMix at 266 million across TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, and YouTube, which is 57% ahead of other romance movies (but 21% behind the Sony-Wayfarer title It Ends With Us which hit over 377 million on social), there’s a bad stink on Big Bold Beautiful Journey with the analytics corp noticing mixed-to-negative comments.

Reports RelishMix, “Some viewers smell sentimentality and algorithmic gloss. Skeptics tag the vibe as trailer-deep with lines like ‘This feels like a trailer for a fake movie’ and point to tonal saccharine with ‘Touchy feely picture… emotional diabetes.’ Comparisons skew cautionary with Black Mirror and even AI commercial jokes, plus a few drive-by age and body takes dragging the cast. Receipts land with ‘What Black Mirror episode is this?’ and ‘Looks like an AI generated commercial.’”

Him is 51%/49% men-to-women with a low definite recommend of 41%, but it’s horror, which gives it more mojo than Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Diversity demos are 36% Black, 34% Caucasian, 20% Latino and Hispanic and 6% Asian American. Men over 25 repped 33% of ticket buyers with women over 25 at 31%, men under 25 at 19% and women under 25 at 17% for the R-rated title. PLFs, which are split with Demon Slayer, are driving 37% of the weekend. An even play throughout the country for Him with notable touchdowns in the West, South Central, South and East after a slew of spots since August on football. Best gross in the nation so far comes from AMC Universal’s Citywalk Hollywood (CA) with close to $32K.

Big Bold Beautiful Journey saw 59% women with 44% women over 25 (who gave the movie its best grades at 71% on PostTrak). It looks like some guys got pulled into this movie as +1s with the second most-attending demo being men over 25 at 32%. This is further underscored by the stats that close to 40% of the pic’s ticket buyers came with a spouse/partner/boyfriend or girlfriend. Diversity demos are 58% Caucasian, 25% Latino and Hispanic, 8% Asian American and 5% Black. A handful of PLFs which only represent 12% of the weekend, I understand with West, Midwest and Mountain regions being where the bulk of the business is. AMC Grove is the top grossing venue so far this weekend with just under $12K.

Saturday AM estimates:

  1. Demon Slayer…Infinity Castle (Sony) 3,342 (+27) theaters, Fri $4.5M (-86%), 3-day $16.3M (-77%), Total $103.7M/Wk 2
  2. Him (Uni) 3,168 theaters, Fri $6.47M, 3-day $15M/Wk 1

  7. The Senior (Angel) 2,405 theaters, Fri $1.25M, 3-day $2.5M/Wk 1
    A CinemaScore for the Michael Chiklis college football alum movie. Faith-based pull with 54% over 55, male-female is 50/50 with the pic playing best in the Mountain, Midwest, South Central and South. AMC Empire in NYC is the leading single-theater with just over $4K so far this weekend.
  8. Toy Story (re) (Dis) 2,340 (-35) theaters, Fri $350K (-68%), 3-day $1.75M (-49%), Total $229.4M lifetime/Wk 2
  9. Weapons (NL) 1,186 (-1124) theaters, Fri $380K (-55%), 3-day $1.2M (-56%) Total $149.6M/Wk 7
  10. Freakier Friday (Dis) 1,880 (-580) theaters, Fri $295K (-47%), 3-day $1.1M (-48%) Total $92.8M/Wk 7

FRIDAY AM: Universal and Monkeypaw’s football horror movie Him did $2 million from previews that began at 2 p.m. Thursday. That number is just above Lionsgate’s preview take on Stephen King’s The Long Walk ($1.3M) a week ago, and Blumhouse’s Speak No Evil ($1.3M) a year ago. Him, which stars Marlon Wayans, Julia Fox and Tyriq Withers, is expected to open in the mid-teen millions this weekend; The Long Walk opened to $11.7M, while Speak No Evil did $11.4M in its first frame.

Critics aren’t sticking around in the stands for Him at 30% on Rotten Tomatoes, and last night’s audience wasn’t impressed at 59%. Yikes. We’ll see where this goes. Him was made for a net $27M.

Sony/Crunchyroll’s Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle is expected to stand tall in its second weekend with a take between $14M-$21M. The movie will share Imax screens with Him but hold onto PLFs. Pic’s first week ends at $87.4M after a $2.6M Thursday, down 26%. It’s already the highest-grossing anime movie of all time at the domestic box office, having surpassed 1999’s Pokemon from Warner Bros ($85.7M). Next, Demon Slayer will conquer securing $100M stateside, again a first for anime movie in the U.S. and Canada.

Columbia Pictures’ Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie romance A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, is not huge in its previews with $400,000 from Thursday early shows that began at 4 p.m. at 2737 locations. Critics had no patience for this one at 40% on Rotten Tomatoes. No audience score. Sony sees the opening at $10M, others see it much lower.

Top five for the week:

1.) Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle (Sony) 3,315 theaters, Thur $2.6M (-29% from Wed), Week $87.4M/Wk 1

2.) Conjuring: Last Rites (NL) 3,802 theaters, Thurs $1.56M (-8%), Week $33.2M (-68%), Total $138.2M/Wk 2

bitchy | Donald Trump: ‘Princess Catherine. So radiant, so healthy and so beautiful’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

These are photos from the state banquet at Windsor Castle last night. They copy-pasted almost everything from the Macrons’ state banquet a few months back, including the seating arrangements for King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales. Charles and Kate were on either side of Donald Trump, while Melania Trump, Camilla and Prince William were seated on the opposite side. Kate really drew the short straw here – Trump was gawking at her the whole night. Creepy.

One interesting note about the staging: on Kate’s other side was not some seasoned American diplomat or titan of industry. Kate was sandwiched in between Trump and Michael Boulos, aka Tiffany Trump’s husband. Trump’s son-in-law got a place of honor beside the Princess of Wales? You cannot make this up. Kate also had to walk with Boulos for the “procession” to the banquet.

King Charles and Donald Trump also gave speeches at the banquet, which is normal for these kinds of dinners. Everyone at Downing Street held their collective breath to hear what Trump had to say. They were shocked when he didn’t blast his enemies or rant about immigrants. Trump kept it faux-gracious. He even name-checked William and Kate, saying: “Melania and I are delighted to visit with Prince William and to see Her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine. So radiant, so healthy and so beautiful.” Kate looked up at him and smiled.

Miley Cyrus is back with more of Something Beautiful.

As promised in a social post earlier in the week, the veteran pop singer has dropped the deluxe edition, featuring the original LP’s 13 songs, plus two new tracks featuring rock icons.

The first of those fresh cuts is a number Cyrus has been teasing for several weeks, “Secrets,” a sweeping ballad featuring former Fleetwood Mac bandmates drummer Mick Fleetwood and guitarist/singer Lindsey Buckingham.

The now 15-track expanded LP closes with a collaboration featuring David Byrne, called “Lockdown.”

It’s not the first time Cyrus and Byrne have made music together. The “Wrecking Ball” singer swung onto the stage with the Talking Heads legend in 2022 for her NBC New Year’s Eve special, when they performed hit a duet on David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” as well as Byrne’s “Everybody’s Coming To My House.”

Cyrus’ ninth studio album, Something Beautiful arrived in May and includes collaborations with members of the bands Alvvays, Model/Actriz, the War on Drugs, as well as Danielle Haim, Flea, model Naomi Campbell and Brittany Howard. The album was accompanied by a musical film written and co-directed by Cyrus that premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival and then played in theaters for one-night-only in June before moving to streaming on Hulu.

Something Beautiful peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, and is one of Cyrus’ 15 top 10 appearances on the albums chart, a tally that includes five leaders. She has led the Billboard Hot 100 on two occasions, with 2013’s “Wrecking Ball” (for three weeks) and 2023’s “Flowers” (for eight weeks).

The album release was followed with the short film of the same name. After its Tribeca premiere, Something Beautiful was shown as a one-night-only screening across North American theaters on June 12 and internationally on June 27.

Cyrus attended a listening event for fans in Los Angeles earlier this year, where she remarked: “I love making music with everybody on this carpet – I don’t do stages now,” a nod to news that she has no desire to tour again.
