It may have been the premiere for Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s sequel Another Simple Favor – but it was very much the Blake show on the red carpet in New York City on April 28. The actress, 37, posed up a storm and surrounded herself with an A-list posse of pals, which included Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Hugh Jackman, and, of course, her husband, Ryan Reynolds. “Blake and Anna have equal billing in this film, but the way Blake was acting at the premiere, you’d think she was the sole leading lady,” a source tells New Idea. “Anna kept to the sidelines and just let Blake do her thing.” Rumours of a feud between Blake and Anna, 39, first began back in 2018, when they were making A Simple…

Elizabeth Hurley has jetted back to the UK following her recent holiday with new beau, Billy Ray Cyrus, at his Nashville home. But, it looks like their fledgling romance, while long distance for now, is still running red hot! So much so that Liz, 59, and Billy, 63, are already talking about tying the knot! Last week, The Sun reported “marriage could be on the cards” for the pair, who met while filming the movie Christmas in Paradise in 2021.

Bindi Irwin has happily watched from the sidelines as her younger brother Robert’s star has risen – thanks to his stint as co-host of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and as a newly minted Bonds underwear model. But now, sources tell New Idea the 26-year-old’s nose is “slightly out of joint” that Robert, 21, has signed up to do the US version of Dancing with the Stars, as that’s always been her big claim to reality TV fame. Bindi was 17 when she competed on the US series in 2015 – and won!

Around 135 cardinals from all corners of the globe will meet in a conclave this week on May 7 to discuss the future of the Catholic church. They will then cast their vote on who will next take the reins of the religious institution. The closed-door meeting comes 16 days after the death of Pope Francis. The 88-year-old died on April 21 following a stroke. Vatican legislation states the conclave must meet within 20 days of the Pope’s death to participate in the secret ballot. While there is no timescale for how long it can take to elect the next…
