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…

The cause of death of former Towie star Jake Hall remains unexplained after a post-mortem examination failed to determine how the 35-year-old died following a fall at a holiday villa in Majorca last month, an inquest has heard. Hall was found dead in a pool of blood after falling through a glass door at the villa on 6 May. An inquest opening at East London Coroner’s Court was told that the post-mortem examination carried out in Spain was unable to establish a definitive cause of death. The court also heard that Hall’s body has since been repatriated to the UK.…

The Traitors is heading to the West End in a stage adaptation that its executive producer says will offer audiences something the television series fundamentally cannot — the chance to see how the same story plays out across five different outcomes depending on who is chosen as a traitor. The Traitors: Acts of Betrayal will run at the Gillian Lynne Theatre from 11 May 2027, featuring a cycle of five new plays written by John Finnemore and directed by Robert Hastie.

Cruz Beckham’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel has publicly shown her loyalty to Victoria Beckham by promoting her makeup products just hours after Brooklyn’s pointed social media post reignited the Beckham family feud. The music producer, 30, shared a clip on her Instagram Stories applying Victoria’s £38 contour stylus, tagging the brand with the caption “@victoriabeckham did I do it right?” Jackie applied the beauty stick to her cheeks, eyelids, nose bridge and lips in a move that left little doubt about which side of the increasingly acrimonious family split she and Cruz occupy. Her post came hours after Brooklyn, 27, published…

England’s wives and girlfriends will spend the World Cup based in Miami, almost 1,500 miles from the team’s main camp, with relatives only permitted to see players immediately after matches and overnight stays banned throughout the tournament. The arrangement marks a significant shift from the scenes at Euro 2006 in Germany, when the WAGs famously took over Baden-Baden and became one of the major storylines of the tournament during the era of Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole. This time, England left their warm-weather training base in Florida on Saturday morning and flew to Kansas City, where they hope to remain…
