Bill Nighy led stars walking the Oscars carpet wearing a blue ribbon to “commemorate” the millions of displaced people around the world.The veteran British star, who was nominated for the first time at the ceremony for Best Actor, joined Cate Blanchett in wearing the ribbon made by refugees as part of an initiative from the United Nations refugee agency, the UNHCR. Famous faces were invited to wear the ribbon as an “emblem of compassion and solidarity” for those who have been forced to flee their homes because of war, conflict and persecution. Asked by Sky News about the Oscars reportedly wanting to avoid politics this year, Nighy said: “120 million people being displaced and children being in terrible distress, I don’t think that is politics.

with his performance as the King in “Elvis,” and who’s nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars on Sunday.The kid’s on the brink of the big-big-time, right when the industry needs it badly. For more than a decade, Hollywood has searched in vain for worthy successors to Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio while trade publications have mourned the death of the old-school Leading Man. Our former heartthrobs can still sell tickets (see: “Top Gun: Maverick”), but they are getting long in the tooth and caring less and less about the state of their beards.While plenty of great young actors are on the rise, there’s no cultural consensus around most of them. Timothée Chalamet, 27, is a major talent and has rapidly become a film fixture, but has so far preferred prestige films (“Dune” is as arthouse as science-fiction gets) by filmmakers such as Luca Guadagnino and Wes Anderson, whose work most Americans don’t know or go out of their way to see.Smiley Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield are quirky if good-looking and respectable Brits (Garfield, who has a British accent, is technically British-American) and already, respectively, 41 and 39.

King Charles III makes his official ascent to the throne, but the afterparty is shaping up to be anything but epic.According to reports, a long list of British A-listers, ranging from Elton John and Ed Sheeran to Harry Styles and Adele — even the Spice Girls — have declined invitations to perform at the big bash.And while John and Styles are said to have declined due to scheduling conflicts, as the Sun reported on Feb. 25, experts say it’s no wonder so many others have given firm no’s to The Firm.

During the last few decades, Liz Taylor, 66, from Cheshire, has thrown eye-wateringly expensive and glamorous parties for everyone, from the King to TV royalty such as Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan, and even turned down Victoria and David Beckham. The couple are currently in the midst of some party planner drama themselves.They are reportedly feeling “horrified” and “embarrassed” after intimate details of their son Brooklyn’s wedding were revealed as part of a bitter lawsuit. Here Liz tells us all about her incredible career so far, and how she's avoided those situations...

The Sun, John was at the top of Charles’ list, but due to his European tour schedule, which sees him performing in Germany the Friday before the coronation and again soon after the event, he won’t be able to make it.Harry Styles is also busy touring and unable to get key band members together, as they’ll be on a break from his tour.The Spice Girls were previously rumored to be reuniting for the coronation, but it looks like that won’t be happening either, according to The Daily Mail. This news is surely disappointing to fans of the group, which has been largely on hiatus for years.Similarly, Marie Claire reports that Adele and Ed Sheeran have declined the invitation, though Adele’s camp apparently didn’t provide a reason.Despite the setbacks, some musicians have agreed to perform at the coronation.

Several British stars have turned down the offer to help ring in King Charles III’s coronation. Multiple reports claimed that Harry Styles, Elton John, Robbie Williams and the Spice Girls have all declined to perform at the coronation concert on May 7 on the grounds of Windsor Castle.The king and his wife Camilla, queen consort, are being crowned on May 6. It was previously reported that Adele and Ed Sheeran also said no to the historical gig.

Simon Cowell‘s got a very specific reason for why he’d be on board for another run of “The X Factor”, and if Britney Spears would rejoin him in that venture, even better.

With just two months to go until King Charles in formally crowned, plans for the Coronation already appear to have hit a snag as several musical celebrities invited to perform at the high profile ceremony have already turned down their invitations.

Madonna still leads the female pack with 12 chart-topper records to her name including Like A Virgin, Confessions On A Dancefloor and Hard Candy as Sir Paul McCartney is the overall individual record holder with 23 number ones for his solo, The Beatles and Wings albums. P!nk previously topped the charts with 2008’s Funhouse, 2017’s Beautiful Trauma and 2019’s Hurts 2B Human.

admitted she was a bit jealous of Niall Horan’s group experience on reality TV, revealing that she herself was “lonely” on “American Idol” despite winning her season.“You came up with a group, which I think is cool,” Clarkson said to Horan, discussing his time with One Direction on the reality competition series “X Factor.” “I was very lonely off the top — I was 19, a little older when I started — but I was very lonely, and I think that must have been cool that you have buddies to lean on.”When asked if he still kept in touch with his former bandmates, Horan said they talk “constantly” and were “so lucky” to have each other throughout the process, though they came in third at the end of the competition.“You would see all the other artists melting all the time over everything, and we were just 16, 17, 18, 19,” Horan said. “It was so fun, I’d do it again, that’s why I’m doing The Voice.”Both “The Voice” coaches bonded over their “full circle” moments on the reality singing competition.“I love doing ‘The Voice’ for that reason, you get to say, ‘I’ve been in your [shoes],'” Clarkson said.

Adele and Ed Sheeran performing at his coronation but they either declined or didn’t respond to the offer.The new monarch will be officially coronated on May 7, the day after he takes over from the late Queen Elizabeth II who died last year.According to sources close to the project (via OK!), the King asked the team behind the event to reach out to the two superstar musicians to try and have them involved.Sheeran was unable to make the concert due to logistics and previous touring commitments, while Adele did not respond to the request.The source, an organiser of the event, said: “The King has suggested a number of people he would like to perform and Adele and Ed were on that list.“He was very keen that they were part of the concert… There is a team set up to get the talent signed up so they approached the two of them, but got replies saying that they were unavailable, which was a massive disappointment. They are titans of the showbiz industry and are quintessentially British but also known across the globe.
