Toy Story 5 arrives in cinemas worldwide on Friday, with critics largely hailing it as a fitting return to form for the beloved Pixar franchise more than three decades after the original film, though a handful of reviewers have questioned whether the series should now finally bow out. The film reunites Tom Hanks as Woody, Tim Allen as Buzz and Joan Cusack as Jessie, with Bonnie’s toys this time facing competition for her affections from a new tablet device called Lilypad — a storyline several critics have praised as a genuinely meaningful exploration of technology’s place in modern childhood. Taylor…

Robbie Williams sent his Instagram followers into a spin on Wednesday night as he stripped down to his pants while hunting through his wardrobe for a lucky outfit to wear while watching England take on Croatia — a match the Three Lions went on to win 4-2 in Dallas. The former Take That star, 52, shared the clip alongside his wife Ayda, who filmed the debate from behind the camera. “I genuinely don’t know what to wear,” Williams told viewers while rifling through piles of clothes. “I need something lucky and I don’t know what that is. I don’t know…

Radio 4’s The World Tonight is to be axed after more than half a century on air, BBC Breakfast will no longer broadcast on Sundays from September, and 550 jobs are to go from the corporation’s news, television and radio teams as the BBC embarks on its most sweeping cost-cutting programme in a generation. The cuts, revealed to staff by new director-general Matt Brittin in an email on Wednesday, form part of a drive to save £500 million over the next two years. More than a quarter of the planned 1,800 to 2,000 total redundancies will come from editorial and…

The BBC has removed planned repeat episodes of Ashley Cain’s documentary series Into The Danger Zone after an investigation revealed historic tweets in which the presenter referred to women in deeply offensive terms and sent abusive sexualised messages to female users. The Guardian published the investigation detailing a series of tweets in which Cain called women “sgs,” “sts” and “psychos,” made jokes about hitting women, and used degrading sexual language. In 2014, responding to a female user, he reportedly wrote: “Go and choke on a ck you st.” In 2015, he wrote to another: “The only thing that’s desperate around…

French holiday towns are slapping bare-chested men with fines of up to €150 as local authorities move to ban shirtless walking in public areas, marking a significant shift for a country long associated with relaxed attitudes towards beach attire. Sunbathing topless on French beaches remains perfectly legal in most places, but town councils are drawing a firm line at the water’s edge. Walking without a shirt through town centres, pedestrian zones and historic areas is increasingly being treated as a matter of public order rather than personal choice, with hygiene and decency cited as the main justifications. Narbonne is the…

Susanna Reid has offered a withering reaction to Lee Andrews’ extraordinary claim that he was captured at gunpoint by armed men and held at a secret facility on suspicion of espionage, after a month of drama surrounding Katie Price’s husband culminated in a late-night Instagram video that left the Good Morning Britain presenter visibly unimpressed. Andrews, 43, who had been missing for a month before his release from Dubai’s notorious Al Awir Central Prison last week, returned to social media on Tuesday night to dispute widespread reports that he had been arrested on fraud allegations. Instead, he claimed he was…

Emily Ratajkowski has returned to social media with a series of revealing holiday photographs from Mallorca, just days after facing fierce criticism over a shoot for New York Magazine in which she posed topless appearing to breastfeed a doll while drinking wine. The 35-year-old model shared the Mallorca images without comment on the backlash, captioning her new snaps simply: “back on my favorite island and trying out some new ones too.” The photographs showed her in a plunging black bikini and low-cut beach dress at lunch, a floral bikini, and a red mesh dress worn braless with only a thong…

A television doctor has revealed that the size of your thighs could be one of the most significant predictors of how long you will live — and that the key factor is not fat but muscle. Dr Amir Khan, best known for his appearances on ITV, shared the advice in a video on Instagram, telling followers that “thicker thighs really do save lives.” He warned that people with smaller thighs face a “significantly” higher risk of heart disease and premature death — a finding he backed with a major study published in the British Medical Journal in 2009, which followed…

Stephen Colbert’s parting punchline at CBS has proven prophetic — the network has been forced to strike a licensing deal over a deliberate copyright stunt the comedian pulled during the final episode of The Late Show, with the resulting funds going to charity. During the finale on 21 May, Colbert was discussing ongoing lawsuits brought by the rights holders of the Peanuts franchise over unauthorised use of composer Vince Guaraldi’s music, warning viewers of the consequences of using the iconic tunes without permission. “Peanuts is a powerful brand and corporation in and of itself,” he told the audience. “Anyone illegally…

Jeremy Clarkson has revealed he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in a deeply emotional scene from the final two episodes of Clarkson’s Farm, which were released overnight on Amazon Prime Video. The 65-year-old broadcaster broke the news to his co-stars Kaleb Cooper and Charlie, who work with him at Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds, while the trio were discussing plans for the upcoming harvest. Visibly struggling to hold his composure, Clarkson leaned back in his chair and told the pair: “I’ve got cancer.” A disbelieving Kaleb immediately replied: “No, you haven’t. Where?” to which Clarkson…
