written by jummy84

The first-look images from the heist thriller, Steal have been unveiled. It stars Sophie Turner of the Game of Thrones fame along with Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, and Archie Madekwe among others. Steal follows an ordinary office worker, Zara (Sophie) who finds herself at the heart of the heist. A typical workday at a pension fund investment company, Lochmill Capital, is upended when a gang of violent thieves burst in and force Zara and her best mate Luke (Archie Madekwe) to execute their demands.
But who would steal billions of pounds of ordinary people’s pensions and why? DCI Rhys (Jacob Fortune-Lloyd) is determined to find out, but as a recently relapsed gambling addict, Rhys must keep his own money problems at bay while dealing with the secret agendas and competing interests at the Centre of this far-reaching crime.
Take a look at the photos:


The series comes from executive producers Greg Brenman and Rebecca De Souza, and producer Nuala O’Leary. Amazon MGM Studios is producing alongside Drama Republic. All six episodes of Steal will be available on January 21, 2026, on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Meanwhile, Sophie Turner will also be seen as Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider series. Talking about it, the actress had earlier expressed her excitement over and said she had massive shoes to fill as Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander played the same character before her. Sophie shared, “I am thrilled beyond measure to be playing Lara Croft. She’s such an iconic character, who means so much to so many – and I am giving everything I’ve got. They’re massive shoes to fill, following in the steps of Angelina (Jolie) and Alicia (Vikander) with their powerhouse performances, but with Phoebe at the helm, we (and Lara) are all in very safe hands. I can’t wait for you all to see what we have cooking.”

Sophie Rose Gutterman Reveals the Ultimate Holiday 2025 Hair Edit: Which Trends to Try (and Skip)

by jummy84 November 6, 2025
written by jummy84

Sleigh your holiday hair! Celebrity hairstylist Sophie Rose Gutterman, who has worked with Emmy Rossum, Nicky Hilton, Karlie Kloss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jackie Tohn, is spilling her mane do’s and don’ts for the upcoming holiday season with ET.

While prepping for parties can feel stressful, Gutterman says keeping your strands low-key with high shine is essential for a festive celebration.

“Start with moisture and a good leave-in product like the Curlsmith Moisture Memory Weightless Leave-In Release or Double Cream Deep Quencher to guarantee hydration and prevent frizz. … Apply it to wet hair from the mid-lengths to ends and try a slicked back bun. It’s a heatless style that looks chic and helps treat the hair,” she explains.

If you want to take it up a notch while still letting your sparkly outfit shine, the hair expert suggests leaning on simple accessories.

“Working with clothes is always recommended, but that doesn’t mean you have to completely tone it down. … While hair may sometimes have to take a back seat to a high collar or sequins, it’s still fun to create statements that speak beyond the wardrobe.”

Her pick this year: “Balenciaga recently did a fashion show featuring tons of bows, and my client who attended wore one with a half-up style and face framing bangs. It was so fun.”

It’s also important to avoid overdoing your locks so that you look good (and feel good) while mingling.

“Limit the number of bobby pins you use. If it hurts while you’re styling, chances are you’ll have a headache by the end of the night and nobody wants that,” she notes.

Instead, opt for the Root Boost Uplifting Spray to keep your style lasting from cocktails to carols.

“Blow dry your hair with a good round brush, set it with clips, let it dry, take it down, and shake it out. You’re welcome for your new obsession,” she dishes.

But if you’re craving a bolder change as we head into 2026, the hairstylist believes bangs are the move.

“Don’t be scared of them! … They’re super cute with updos and make lived-in looks easier to style.”

And for a color shift, Gutterman suggests experimenting with a subtle semi-permanent shade.

“Looking for more warmth but not quite ready to go red? Ask your stylist for a toner. … Think of it as a lip-gloss for your hair.”

For a full new year, new hair vibe, try a fresh chop.

“If you’re open to cutting your hair, I’m loving the Sydney Sweeney bob right now! You can wear it so many different ways.”

'I could see this little synopsis that'd be someone naked...' Sophie Ellis-Bextor reveals why she said yes to Saltburn

‘I could see this little synopsis that’d be someone naked…’ Sophie Ellis-Bextor reveals why she said yes to Saltburn

by jummy84 October 22, 2025
written by jummy84

22 October 2025

Sophie Ellis-Bextor was convinced to let Murder on the Dancefloor be used in the final scene of Saltburn when she discovered Barry Keoghan would be dancing naked to her hit single.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

The 2001 disco pop track soundtracks Keoghan’s nude dance as his character Oliver Quick through the Saltburn estate in Emerald Fennell’s Golden Globe nominated 2023 movie.

Sophie, 46, was thrilled when she found out the filmmaker wanted to license her song and had no hesitation saying yes when she found out it would be the music to such a memorable moment.

Speaking to Instagram and TikTok creator Luke Hamnett on episode 4 of BRITs podcast The Red Carpet Treatment – On The Road presented by Mastercard, she said: “I knew about Emerald. I never met her, but I was thinking, what a treat you want to use my song. And then I could see this little synopsis that’d be someone naked. I was like, count me in, got to see that.”

Sophie also loves the fact that Saltburn villain Oliver ultimately comes out on top in the comedy thriller.

She added: “I think there is a little dark triumph in the baddie coming out on top, that’s obviously baked into the veins of Murder on the Dancefloor.”

Thanks to the film’s release in 2023, the Groovejet hitmaker has enjoyed a massive career renaissance and is riding the wave of Murder on the Dancefloor’s revival with new music and renewed momentum.

In September, Sophie released her eighth album Perimenopop and she says the sound of the album goes right back to the style of Murder on the Dancefloor.

She said: “It’s disco pop. It’s optimistic. It sums up my relationship with pop music, actually. It’s like a little audio tonic to make you feel a bit better. Because I had this resurgence with Murder on the Dancefloor, it was the first time I was thinking back to when I started with it and seeing the video and the artwork and all that kind of thing. And calling the album Perimenopop was a really amazing way to liberate me from any kind of comparison with that because it kind of put front and centre the fact that that’s not me anymore. And I didn’t really realise that’s what I was doing with the title until I was nearly releasing it. And I felt like, God, I feel really free. I feel like I’m exactly who I am right now.”

New episodes drop weekly via the BRITs’ YouTube @BRITs and social channels @BRITs.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s episode is available to watch in full on @BRITs YouTube or on @BRITs social channels.

What We Know About Benedict & Sophie

by jummy84 October 14, 2025
written by jummy84

At the end of Bridgerton Season 3, Colin (Luke Newton) and Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) have worked through the issue of Penelope being the town gossip who repeatedly sullied the good Bridgerton name with her pen — as a fellow petty bitch, I am a Penelope apologist — and Colin refusing to see his best friend as the baddie she is, and are finally happily married with a baby boy. After ditching Lord Debling and getting well acquainted with the woman in the mirror, Penelope reveals herself as Lady Whistledown and realizes the value in the writing empire she has built. In Julia Quinn’s Romancing Mister Bridgerton, this reveal also marks the end of Lady Whistledown’s column. While the future of Whistledown is unclear in the show, the Queen and Penelope seem to come to an understanding.“If [the Queen] affords me the chance to continue, I aim to wield my quill more responsibly,” Penelope says in the final episode of Season 3. “What is life without a little gossip?” the Queen responds and it’s safe to assume that Penelope Bridgerton will be allowed to keep writing.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor Slams Transphobia, Defends Trans Community

by jummy84 October 6, 2025
written by jummy84

After being uplifted throughout her career by the LGBTQ+ community, disco-pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor is making sure that the community knows she stands firmly with them in a new interview.

In an interview with The Independent published Sunday (Oct. 5), the “Murder on the Dancefloor” hitmaker spoke out about the state of politics surrounding the trans community in 2025, sharing her disdain at seeing increased attacks against the community, especially in online spaces. Speaking specifically about those spreading transphobic views online, Ellis-Bextor said she was dismayed at the fervor with which many of them spoke.

“These people make trans people their whole personality and spend their entire day checking their socials and being angry, whereas trans people themselves just want to be under the radar and live their lives,” she explained. Her fears are confirmed by the data. A February study found that instances of hate speech on X rose by roughly 50% in the months after Elon Musk purchased the platform in 2022.

Ellis-Bextor continued, adding that movements such as Pride felt more vital than ever. “There was a time when Pride felt like a celebration of all the shoulders that people were able to stand on, but now it feels like it’s an absolute political necessity,” she said. “I suppose you have to be optimistic that things will get better again, but I do get very down about it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the singer explained that she’s had to deal with people in her personal life turning on the trans community over the course of the last few years. “I had one of my girlfriends go on quite a weird flip, and it was really affecting me,” she explained. “And you definitely do need to assert that you feel really differently, and then just find ways to support what you believe is being on the right side of history.”

The interview comes a few weeks after the release of Ellis-Bextor’s new album Perimenopop, the singer’s return to disco-pop after the runaway success of her song “Murder on the Dancefloor” in 2024 thanks to its prominent sync in Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn. Ellis-Bextor spoke to Billboard that year about earning her first Billboard Hot 100 entry thanks to the film. “My relationship with the song is great, I perform it all the time — it’s been the song that people associate the most with me,” she said. “But to have it having this little wild adventure on the charts is actually bonkers.”

bitchy | Sophie Chandauka is closing Sentebale’s UK office & canceling polo fundraisers

by jummy84 October 6, 2025
written by jummy84

Back in March, Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso resigned as patrons for Sentebale, the charity they co-founded in honor of their mothers. Sophie Chandauka was the reason why they stepped down – as Sentebale’s chair, Chandauka was looting the charity’s reserves and blowing money on high-priced “consultants” who didn’t do anything or bring in any extra money. When the board of trustees asked Chanauka to step down, she ran to the British Charity Commission and lied her ass off, claiming that she was being bullied by racists. She kept giving unhinged interviews and making a horse’s ass out of herself for months. During that time, the Charity Commission investigated both sides. They cleared Harry and everyone else of bullying and harassment, but they did nothing to rein in Chandauka’s sinister actions within Sentebale.

To this day, Chandauka is still Sentebale’s chair, though almost all of the original trustees have resigned in disgust. In August, we learned that Chandauka mothballed Sentebale’s Children’s Center in Lesotho, a center which provided critical care to kids with HIV. We also learned that she’s blowing through the cash reserves of the charity, and she fired almost all of Sentebale’s London staff. Well, on Friday, Chandauka finally revealed Sentebale’s current finances, and she and Iain Rawlinson – a longtime associate of Prince William – also announced that they closing Sentebale’s London office. Not only that, but Sentebale will no longer have fundraising polo matches.

No more polo matches: Sentebale has scrapped its fundraising polo matches after a row with the Duke of Sussex. The charity based in southern Africa said it would stop using the sport as a way of raising money as it distances itself from the Duke after a bullying and racism dispute. Funds raised from the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup – which the Duke personally took part in – represented 18 per cent of the charity’s income last year. However, a report into its yearly accounts published on Friday showed that polo would no longer feature as the charity’s flagship fundraiser.

Iain Rawlinson the weasel: Rawlinson, a member of Sentebale’s board of trustees, told the Telegraph: “These polo games, which attract great generosity from high-net worth individuals or funds who want to support the charity – those events definitely have their place. We’re not being critical about that as a concept. The reason for [dropping it] is it puts quite a lot of pressure on individuals, and it can mask structural weakness in the financial model of the charity.”

Rawlinson on Harry’s generosity: As an example, he cited the Duke’s £1.2m donation from the proceeds of his memoir, Spare, as masking “the fault lines in the financial model which had really been producing losses since 2017… Those problems can be summarised by saying there was a very narrow but very loyal donor base for the charity. But it also masked the very high level of cost…where those costs could only be borne by the virtue of the generosity of Prince Harry.” He explained that what future donating organisations would like to see is “a more resilient financial model, which is not dependent on a single patron, for example”.

No more London office: Elsewhere in the accounts, the closure of Sentebale’s former London office, which was costing the charity £650,000 yearly, was listed as part of an effort to reduce £1m a year. Mr Rawlinson said: “If you have got a £600,000 plus cost in the centre of the organisation, which is not programme specific and can’t be recovered through programmes, you have to go and do events. You have to lean on the patron to play polo, you have to do all of that type of thing. And then that creates a certain modus operandi in the organisation.”

[From The Telegraph]

The Telegraph’s report also included quotes from Chandauka, which read as corporate double-speak, lies and bullsh-t. Don’t even bother. They’re still doing the most to blame Harry for… financially supporting a charity HE founded to honor HIS mother. They have a grudge against Harry for… giving millions of dollars to Sentebale and organizing polo fundraisers. They claim that model wasn’t sustainable. Well… we’re seeing Chandauka and Rawlinson’s sustainability in action. They lost the Sentebale polo matches’ main donor. Most of the old donors left with Harry and Seeiso. Chandauka is looting the reserves to pay for “consultants,” and they’ve now mothballed Sentebale’s Children’s Center in Lesotho AND closed Sentebale’s London office. I thought Sophie had all of these big plans, I thought her expensive consultants were fundraising rainmakers? Why is Sentebale struggling so badly under Chandauka and Rawlinson’s leadership if they’ve gotten exactly what they wanted?

Ryan Phillippe, Roxy Sophie Sorkin Movie Acquired by Voltage

by jummy84 September 17, 2025
written by jummy84

EXCLUSIVE: Voltage Pictures has acquired international rights to the high-concept horror slasher The Him from Joe Gossett (Catch Hell, Revenger). The film, which Gossett, wrote and directed, is currently in post with international sales now underway.

Pic stars Chris Elliott (There’s Something About Mary, Groundhog Day, Cabin Boy), Roxy Sophie Sorkin, Asya Miller, Mindy Cohn (Palm Royale, Billy Knight, Mother Father Sister Brother Frank) and Ryan Phillippe (Crash, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Shooter).

In The Him, a family’s elaborate Halloween display becomes a genuine massacre when a silent killer turns their home into a house of horrors—while unsuspecting crowds cheer, believing it’s the best show in town.

Voltage

Pic is produced by Andrea Bucko (Alpha Gang, Dead Man’s Wire, Longlegs) of Sugar Rush Pictures and Cassian Elwes (Dallas Buyers Club, Mudbound, Lawless) of Elevated Films, alongside Joel Michaely, Veronica Radealli, and Michael Mammoliti. Tomer Shmulevich (Captivated), Meadow Williams (Den of Thieves, After), Stacey Kemp (Street Smart), Danilo Dayani, Phillip Neumann and Phillippe are executive producers, with Buck Traweek and Izak Zabek serving as co-executive producers.

White Rabbit Productions, founded by Tomer Shmulevich, and Elevated Films are financing the film.

“The film takes the audience’s love of immersive horror and turns it on its head—what if the show you’re cheering for is real? It’s a terrifying concept that will leave people talking for a long time” said Alexandra Cocean, President of Global Sales and Distribution at Voltage Pictures.

Bucko of Sugar Rush Pictures added, “The Him is a chilling reimagining of the slasher genre, masterfully blending intimate family dynamics with the spine-tingling suspense of classic horror.” She continued, “Joe Gossett has crafted the film that strikes a powerful contrast between the comfort of normal life and the brutal intrusion of violence, creating a one-of-a-kind fusion of suspense and terror with its unforgettable blend of psychological horror and shocking twists.”

Elwes of Elevated Films said, “The Him is a remarkable and unsettling film that pushes the boundaries of the slasher genre.  Joe Gossett has crafted something truly original—The Him will leave audiences haunted long after the credits roll.”

Producers Elwes and Bucko most recently premiered Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire out of competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival and the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, where the movie’s North American rights were acquired by frosh distributor, Row K Entertainment.

Elliott is repped by United Talent Agency and Vault Entertainment. Sorkin is repped by Entertainment 360, UTA and Ziffren. Giller is repped by Joey Stanton at Vybe Trybe Entertainment. Cohn is repped by LB Talent and Constellation Media Group. Phillippe is repped by his manager, David Schiff, at MGMT Entertainment, and his legal team, David Weber and Lon Sorensen, at Sloane, Offer, Weber, and Dern, LLP.

bitchy | Benedict Cumberbatch & Sophie Hunter attended ‘The Roses’ UK premiere

by jummy84 September 1, 2025
written by jummy84

Sometimes, when I’m looking at photos of Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife Sophie Hunter, it really does feel like photo-editors used face-swapping technology. They really do look similar, and Sophie really resembles a younger version of her husband. Anyway, Sophie skipped her husband’s American promotion for The Roses, but she came out for the London premiere last night. This is the film where Benedict and Olivia Colman play a British couple going through an extremely contentious divorce in California. As for Sophie and Bendy, do you realize that they’ve been married for a decade? It’s true, they married on Valentine’s Day 2015. A decade and three kids later, Bendy recently revealed his marriage secrets:

Benedict Cumberbatch credits one “rule” to keeping his marriage with wife Sophie Hunter strong. During his appearance on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast alongside his The Roses costar Olivia Colman, the 49-year-old actor opened up about what irritates his family members.

“Being away from home p—– them off,” the actor said during his episode, which released on Thursday, Aug. 28. Because being apart from his wife of 10 years and their three children also upsets Cumberbatch, he’s implemented a “two-week rule” to keep their bond tight.

“It p—–me off too, so we try and do as much to make that not the case — the two-week rule, and try to work as hard as possible on making work happen here nearer home so I can get home, or take them with me,” Cumberbatch said.

[From People]

A lot of actors try the two-week rule, but it’s difficult and it does limit the kind of projects they take on. It does explain a lot of Benedict’s career in the past decade though – a lot of smaller, British productions which few people paid attention to. Which is fine – it’s clear that his priority is being a husband and father now. He’s got three young sons, Christopher (Kit), Hal and Finn. I think they gave their sons cute and short first names because “Cumberbatch” is a pretty CUMBERsome surname.

Sophie Turner defends controversial rape scene in Game of Thrones: ‘We were actually doing a lot of justice to women’

by jummy84 August 26, 2025
written by jummy84

Game of Thrones fans still remember the controversial assault scene between Sansa Stark and Ramsay Bolton, which sparked intense controversy. Years after the show’s finale, actor Sophie Turner, who portrayed role of Sansa Stark, has opened about her thoughts on the backlash that followed, particularly regarding the depiction of sexual abuse.

Sophie Turner portrayed Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, and was 15, when the show first premiered on HBO.

Turner reflected back on working on popular show Game of Thrones during an interview with Flaunt where she also spoke about the scene in which her character (Sansa Stark) was sexually assaulted by her husband. She said she still believes the show was “actually doing a lot of justice to women.”

Turner said, “I did feel – and still do – that Game of Thrones shone a light on things that many people were like, ‘Oh god, you can’t show that kind of thing’ – and I understand it can be triggering – I totally understand that point of view. But I did feel we were actually doing a lot of justice to women and the fight women have had to fight for hundreds of thousands of years – the patriarchy, being treated as objects, and being constantly sexually assaulted – I don’t think there’s one woman I know who hasn’t had a form of that.”

She added, “I think if Game of Thrones came out today, we’d definitely put some trigger warnings on there. But I’m really proud to have been a part of Game of Thrones where they didn’t shy away from showing atrocities that happened to women back then. I feel proud to have been part of the conversation.”

More about the controversial scene

Sophie Turner starred on all eight seasons of the HBO series as Sansa Stark. She was at the center of one of the show’s biggest controversies when Sansa was raped on her wedding night in Season 5.

In the controversial Season 5 episode which was titled “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”, Sansa Stark endured a lot of physical and emotional violence at the hands of her husband, Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon). The episode featured Ramsay sexually assaulting Sansa after their wedding as Sansa’s former childhood friend, Theon, was forced to watch.

The scene prompted outrage on social media as it was not a storyline Sansa had in the Game of Thrones books. The viewers accused the show of going overboard when it came to depicting violence against women.

What’s next for Sophie Turner

Sophie Turner was most recently seen in mystery thriller, Trust, which premiered on August 22. The film follows Lauren Lane, a rising Hollywood actor who escapes to a remote cabin after she’s embroiled in a controversy.

Carlson Young has directed the film, which also stars Rhys Coiro, Billy Campbell, Peter Mensah, Forrest Goodluck, Gianni Paolo, Renata Vaca, and Katey Sagal. After Trust, Turner is expected to be in two more titles, Steal and The Dreadful.
