Anna Camp, 42, and new girlfriend, 24, make red carpet debut with steamy PDA outing
Anna Camp and her girlfriend, Jade Whipkey, made their red carpet debut a month after confirming their romance with a steamy PDA-filled outing. The Pitch Perfect actress, 42, and the writer, 24, hit the Los Angeles premiere of Bride Hard at the DGA Theatre Complex Wednesday. The couple posed for pictures together on the red carpet, smiling as they sweetly looked into each other's eyes. Camp had her arm around Whipkey as they smiled for photographers. The You alum stunned in a floor-length sequined teal gown, while her girlfriend rocked a grey suit. Their red carpet appearance comes a month after they were seen passionately making out while out in LA. In the photos, Whipkey kissed Camp's cheek and lovingly gave a peck to the actress' hand. The on-set stylist also pulled Camp in by the waist for a tight embrace as the former True Blood star grabbed Whipkey's face for a smooch. A week before the steamy make-out session, Camp revealed that she was dating a woman by soft launching their romance on Instagram. At the time, Camp reposted an image from Whipkey's Instagram Stories of herself sitting at a restaurant table as she looked into the distance. 'Her smile is a poem, her eyes are roses, her laugh is music for dancing,' Whipkey wrote atop the photo. Camp's romance with Whipkey came six years after she and her second ex-husband, Skylar Astin, called it quits after nearly three years of marriage. 'We can confirm that we have decided to separate, and this decision was made mutually and amicably,' Camp's rep told Page Six in 2019. 'We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this transition.' The following year after the divorce, Camp began dating drummer Michael Johnson.

Delta Goodrem ties the knot with fiancé Matthew Copley in star-studded Maltese wedding
Delta Goodrem has tied the knot with her partner of six years, Matthew Copley, in a star-studded wedding on the island nation of Malta. The Australian singer and actress, 40, and Matthew, 38, who is a guitarist, said "I do" in picturesque Europe last Monday, according to New Idea. The high-profile couple's celebrity pals, including entertainer Renee Bargh, TV presenter Richard Wilkins and his son Christian, as well as Delta's mother, Lea, and brother, Trent, joined them at the celebration. The magical location where the nuptials occurred is significant to the couple, as it's where Matthew first got down on one knee two years ago. The Born to Try hitmaker once addressed the location's significance by claiming, 'My partner's family is all from Malta'. After the wedding, photos obtained by New Idea show the couple continued to celebrate with family and friends at a seaside beach club. Delta, with her sandy blonde hair styled in loose waves, beamed as she flashed her signature smile and wedding band while embracing guests. She then slipped into a more comfortable electric blue swimsuit, which she accessorised with a white and black sarong and gold jewellery. Delta took a dip in the Mediterranean waters while at the afterparty, no doubt revelling in the joy of being a newly married couple with Copley. The bride and groom are understood to now be continuing their celebration with a romantic honeymoon through Europe. The musicians are likely to still find the time to make music together throughout their travels, which Delta once said bound them together. 'It's a love language for us,' Delta told Stellar in May. 'Music is how we met; it's what we both do. "I have an amazing partner, and we live a good life, and we get to tour the world doing what we love.' Speculation is rife Delta and Matthew got legally married in Australia some weeks ago after she was spotted with a wedding band on her ring finger during a performance in London in May. If the rumours are true, the newlyweds have been officially married for a month but decided to celebrate with their loved ones in Malta on Monday. Delta has been officiating her wedding plans for a while now and kicked things off with a hen's party in Sydney's Palm Beach in April. The singer boarded a luxury yacht in the suburb on the city's Northern Beaches, where she was joined by her close friends, including former Nine presenter Airlie Walsh and Renee Bargh. Delta and Matthew, who are based in Los Angeles, are believed to have met through their mutual friend, fellow Aussie singer Conrad Sewell. In 2023, the couple launched their own record label, ATLED Records. Delta was previously engaged to Irish singer Brian McFadden and has been romantically linked to both Mark Philippoussis and Nick Jonas. The Sydney-born performer has previously said she values deep, lasting relationships, and she and Matthew effortlessly intertwine this into their lives. "I'm somebody who loves to go deeper," Delta told HELLO! magazine in 2020. "I'm all about long-term friendships and relationships, and I love those people with all my heart. "When Matt and I work together, it's really easy to go straight to the core of our feelings because we're living and breathing life together all the time. "It's wonderful to work with him."

Kneecap's Mo Chara placed on unconditional bail as hundreds support star at court
Kneecap's Mo Chara has been unconditionally bailed after facing a terror charge. After being greeted by hundreds of supporters outside Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (18.06.25), the court heard that the issue was with the member of the Irish rap trio - whose real name is Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh - "displaying a flag in support of proscribed organisation Hezbollah" at their O2 Forum Kentish Town gig in London in November 2024, not voicing his opinions on Israel and Palestine, which he's "well within his rights" to do. Prosecutor Michael Bisgrove told the court: 'It's not about Mr Ó hAnnaidh's support for the people of Palestine or his criticism of Israel. 'He's well within his rights to voice his opinions and solidarity, as is anybody else. 'The allegation in this case is a wholly different thing and deals with a video recording showing that, in November of last year, Mr Ó hAnnaidh wore and displayed the flag of Hezbollah, a proscribed terrorist organisation, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'. 'Of course, support for the one is not the same as support for the other. 'So the issue in this case, and the reason it has come to court, it centres on the apparent support by Mr O hAnnaidh of a proscribed terrorist organisation.' Ó hAnnaidh was subsequently released on unconditional bail until his next hearing on August 20. Not only was he supported by his bandmates - Naoise Ó Cairealláin and JJ Ó Dochartaigh - at the court, but hundreds of supporters turned up to stand in solidarity with the star, with calls of "Free Palestine" heard as he left the building. In a statement on Instagram regarding the terror charge, Kneecap wrote: "We deny this 'offense' and will vehemently defend ourselves. 'This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction. "14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us. 'We are on the right side of history. You are not. We will fight you in court. We will win.' Kneecap had shows cancelled as a result of the backlash but are still set to play Glastonbury's West Holts stage at Worthy Farm on Saturday, June 28 at 4pm - despite calls from MPs for them to be banned.
