IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Beyoncé and Jay-Z reportedly looking to put down UK roots
The singer has reportedly taken a helicopter trip to Oxfordshire with husband Jay-Z to view a Cotswolds mansion. Her house-viewing trip was scheduled during her run of London shows, with the Oxford Mail reporting that the couple had landed at Enstone Airfield, about half an hour west of Bicester. It was previously reported back in April that the Single Ladies hitmaker and her husband were considering houses in the Cotswolds, and would look at these during Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter World tour, which she has been in London for this month.

Chris Brown arrives at London court after allegedly hitting producer with bottle in Mayfair club
R & B star Chris Brown has arrived at court accused of hitting a producer 'several times' with a bottle in a London club. The American singer, 36, is allegedly assaulted Abe Diaw at Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London, in February 2023, reports The Sun. Brown was arrested at the five-star Lowry Hotel in Manchester last month after flying into the city on a private jet. The star arrived at Southwark Crown Court in London on Friday morning, where he is due to enter a plea to one count of grievous bodily harm. It comes after Brown was freed on bail after paying a $10 million security fee to the court. The two-time Grammy-winner, who is performing a string of UK gigs, later posted on Instagram: 'From the cage to the stage!' The court heard previously that Brown struck Abe Diaw 'several times' with a bottle before chasing him across the bar. He is then accused of punching and kicking him alongside his co-defendant Omololu Akinlolu. The alleged attack was captured on CCTV in a club 'full of people', it was said. Brown was bailed on the condition that he surrender his passport if he was not travelling on tour. His gigs kicked off in Amsterdam on June 8, with his first UK performance in Manchester taking place on June 15. He played in Cardiff's Principality Stadium last night to a sellout crowd. Brown is then scheduled to play at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow and Sunday. Adele Kelly, the Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS London North, said: 'We have authorised the Metropolitan Police to charge Chris Brown with one count of grievous bodily harm, contrary to section 18 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. 'The alleged incident occurred in London on 19 February 2023. 'He will have his first court appearance on Friday 16 May at Manchester Magistrates' Court. 'The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial. 'It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings.'

Meghan Markle stuns podcast host with personal confession about her acting career struggles
Meghan Markle has revealed that she once struggled to get acting roles while she was working due to her race. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, appeared on British businesswoman Emma Grede's podcast Aspire to speak about her personal life and new brand. When Grede asked about her former acting career, Meghan shared a response that left the podcast host stunned. Meghan told Grede that she struggled to find acting roles due to her ethnicity in her younger years in Hollywood. 'When I was an auditioning actress, and this was well before Suits, you have to think … at that time there were certainly not a lot of mixed-race parts.' Grede looked surprised at Meghan's confession, and exclaimed: 'Really?!' Meghan replied: 'No,' before the host repeated: 'Really?' The Duchess continued: 'No. There weren't a lot of … If I was going in for an audition, it was either, you have to remember this was a very different time than it is now. 'It was 'Girl Next Door'. That was typically blonde-haired, blue-eyed and a certain look. But because I'm half-white, I would also be submitted for those roles. 'And then if it was a character that had any sort of ethnicity, there was always a bit of an edge to those characters, but I'd be submitted for those roles.' 'And I also to a lot of people in casting, they thought I was Latina. 'So I share that because, and I've shared this before, it was a numbers game. 'If I'm only up for 10 parts, that could be 10 no's. 'But if I'm up for 30 parts, because I can fit into so many different rooms, that could be 30 nos, that is a lot to chip away at your self-esteem. That is really hard.' Markle went on to share that all the difficult rejections that she faced while trying to make it in the entertainment industry took a toll on her self-confidence. 'I went through my chapter of self-doubt as an auditioning actor and beyond that,' she said. 'When you're so consumed with what everyone around you thinks of you, that can be a really hard way to live.' Meghan explained that after turning 40 and becoming a mother she realised that she needed to set a good example for her family. 'You can't have an impostor syndrome around. No way,' she emphasised. 'You have to be so authentically the role model and the example of confidence, self-forgiveness, kindness, fun — all of those things and you can't fake that.'

Let there be rock: AC/DC tipped to play Perth on Power Up world tour in December
Ten years after they last shook Perth, Australian rock legends AC/DC are due to hit town for at least one stadium date later this year. The band's previous visit was in November 2015, when Angus Young and co. performed two massive gigs at Domain Stadium in Subiaco as part of their Rock or Bust world tour. It's understood that AC/DC will play at least one concert on their global trek on latest chart-topping album, 2020's Power Up, at Optus Stadium in December, with a second show dependent on ticket sales. The visit is expected to be confirmed next week. Starring guitar god Young and long-serving UK singer Brian Johnson, AC/DC has been on the road for more than a year. The rest of the current touring line-up features Stevie Young, who replaced his late uncle Malcolm on guitar in 2014, plus the American rhythm section of bassist Chris Chaney and drummer Matt Laug. The Power Up tour kicked off in Germany on May 17 2024 and saw the rock icons responsible for classics such as Back in Black, Thunderstruck and Let There Be Rock perform throughout Europe. AC/DC completed 12 North American dates in late May are poised to begin another run of European stadium shows, kicking off in Prague on June 26. The band's last scheduled concert is in Edinburgh on August 21. AC/DC sold more than 520,000 tickets on the 11-date Australasian leg of the Rock or Bust tour, while they flogged 750,000 seats during the record-breaking Black Ice visit in 2009. Melbourne-based Van Egmond Group, part of TEG Group since 2020, promoted both of those tours and is expected to bring the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Down Under again. Their 17th studio album, Power Up became AC/DC's sixth to top the ARIA Albums chart when it was released in 2020. AC/DC and the Bee Gees are the only groups inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and ARIA Hall of Fame. The Aussie rock gods are not the only big name tipped to play Optus Stadium, with a high profile pop act pencilled in for February. Fans of Beyonce will hope the US superstar hits Perth on her Cowboy Carter stadium tour, which began in Los Angeles in late April and is currently in France before another run of North American shows. Global touring giant Live Nation is promoting Beyonce's tour. TEG Group, Live Nation and Optus Stadium operators VenuesLive have been contacted for comment.
