Pop Kulture's 5 Favourite Stories To Cheer Us Up

It's been a shitty old week in the Real World but here's some mindless celeb news for us to enjoy.


Craig David Lives In A Hotel

Daily Echo

Yes, Craig David who spends Weds - Sat making love before chilling on Sunday has gone full Alan Partridge and is now residing in a hotel. Granted, it's not quite the Linton Travel Tavern Alan lived in and is, in fact, a luxury chain hotel beside Heathrow Terminal 5. He puts his current choice of living quarters down to his need to "stay focused" but all those planes coming in and out must be a terrible distraction from all that lovemaking.

This doesn't so much cheer us up as make us all bring up a little bit of sick in our own mouths. Rumours started circulating about the pair's romance when they were filmed engaging in a dance off at the Met Gala and those rumours were seemingly confirmed this week when they just happened to be pictured enjoying a day canoodling on some rocks. Taylor and ex-beau, Calvin Harris have both deleted every photo of each other from Instagram. We want to call it petty but we know we would behave in absolutely the same way.

Basically, the show is getting a makeover and we've not yet been contacted about hosting duties but let it be known we are totally available and come at a very cheap rate.

The Oscars of the theatre world were held on Sunday just hours after it was reported that a mass shooting had taken place at a gay bar in Orlando. James - who has inexplicably become a huge success in America - opened the show with a heartfelt dedication to the victims before plunging straight into a true Tonys style opening number chockablock with musical references and snippets written by none other than Gary Barlow. Yep, Take That's Gary Barlow's own musical, an adaptation of the film Finding Neverland is running on Broadway just now so he is practically Andrew Lloyd Webber by this point.
