Heat|Issue 948BEYONCE…She only gave birth to twins six weeks ago, but there’s no time for relaxation when you’re Beyoncé. As well as getting to grips with Rumi and Sir Carter, (and looking after their five-year-old sister, Blue Ivy), she’s been busy keeping the Beyhive updated by posting pics of herself looking totally gorgeous on social media. Not to mention going on date nights with Jay Z and concerts with sister Solange. But looking like Bey is no easy task, so rather than easing back in with her exercise, she went all-out and hit a spinning class with Jay. Is there nothing this woman can’t do?…1 min

Heat|Issue 948How Cheryl ruined Sarah’s big momentYou know what they say, timing is everything. And last week, Cheryl made sure her big, official comeback into the public arena – after months of keeping a low profile – came at exactly the right moment: just in time to eclipse old friend and former bandmate, Sarah Harding, who was about to enter Celebrity Big Brother. “It’s pretty telling that Cheryl chose the day Sarah entered the house to make her announcement,” says an insider, after the singer – who gave birth to baby Bear in March – released pictures from a new L’Oréal campaign and revealed that she’s created a new beauty range with the brand. “They did that photo shoot two weeks before. There was no reason to choose that random Tuesday afternoon to release the news,…2 min
Heat|Issue 948SCARLETT: ‘My big, fat sci-fi wedding’They’ve only been back together a little while, but Scarlett Moffatt and Luke Crodden are already talking marriage. The TV presenter recently proved how serious things are with Luke as he joined her family on a trip to the theatre– and now friends think an engagement could be on the cards by the end of the year, with a big day that’s close to the couple’s alien-loving hearts. “Scarlett and Luke are in a really good place since their brief break, and have been discussing getting married,” an insider tells heat. “They bonded over their love of aliens, UFOs and conspiracy theories, so they think a sci-fi wedding would be perfect as it reflects their personalities.” Although they may stop short of having Darth Vader officiate the ceremony, we’re told…2 min
Heat|Issue 948CBB STARS’ FORMER FACES REVEALED!SARAH HARDING Sarah has said she believes in embracing the ageing process, but her new face suggests otherwise. While the 35 year old’s admitted to having lip fillers in the past, she categorically denies Botox. Guess it must be her eyelash extensions preventing her from opening her eyes, then. PAUL DANAN Well, the eyes are as sparkling blue as ever, but Paul’s appearance has otherwise altered significantly. Maybe herit’s the glare of all those cameras, but the 39-year-old’s face looks extra shiny. And frozen. And pillowy. Excellent tan, though. We’ve always loved that shade of mahogany. BRANDI GLANVILLE Brandi, 44, hails from Beverly Hills, where they top up their Botox like we do our Oyster cards. So, by those standards, her surgery isn’t that extreme. After all, you can hardly…1 min
Heat|Issue 948Millie joins the MIC baby raceMillie Mackintosh is set to tie the knot for a second time after her boyfriend Hugo Taylor popped the question while on holiday in Greece. But rather than planning her hen do and choosing a dress, heat can reveal Millie is way more interested in starting a family. “Millie is head-over-heels in love with Hugo, and she’s telling friends she might not even wait for them to get married to have a baby,” our source reveals. “She says they feel like a family already and she’s desperate to be a mum. It’s a Made In Chelsea baby race!” The 28-year-old socialite has been with businessman Hugo, 31, for just over a year – the pair first dated when they both appeared on MIC in 2011, and rekindled their romance shortly…2 min
Heat|Issue 948Kendall gets her dream noseIftherewasoneKardashian we thought was immune to the family’s surgery obsession, it was Kendall Jenner. But it’s starting to seem like we were wrong. After new pictures emerged of the reality star - turned-modellooking different, doctors tell heat they believe she’s just had her SECOND nose job. “It looks like she’s had surgery,” says HarleyStreet surgeon,Dr George Samouris, who reviewed pictures of Kendall, 21, at the recent premiere of Valerian in LA. Fans took to Twitter after the event to accuse the model of having a “fake nose” and asked, “Why is Kendall’s nose so beautiful?” Dr Samouris continues, “It looks like the first rhinoplasty Kendall is reported to have had [three years ago] didn’t change much on her nose, as her dorsum [ridge] is still wide and the tip still…1 min
Heat|Issue 948Torso OF THE WEEKHUSBAND GOALS #054 SAM THOMPSON Sam’s been on our radar for a while, mostly for his merciless mocking of big sis Louise and her endless body-flaunting Insta pics. But we’ll admit we’ve never given the Made In Chelsea star leading-man status before, thinking of him more as a fun foil to Lou’s six-pack selfies than a hunk of a man in his own right. Well, it turns out hot bods run in the family. The 25 year old, who can currently be seen rah-ving it up on Celeb BB, is now one of the central characters on MIC. He’s also a keen vlogger and regularly posts workout videos to his YouTube account. This picture suggests that the workouts are working. As for his relationship status, the star has taken millennial…1 min
Heat|Issue 948WHY TEACHERS DESERVES A PLACE IN TV HISTORYThink about this: we wouldn’t have The Late Late Show With James Corden withoutTeachers. Nor would we have The Walking Dead in its current form. Nor ITV’s Morse prequel, Endeavour. Nor all those great documentaries about David Beckham, Harry Styles and Usain Bolt, made by production company Fulwell 73. Yes, Teachers, the comedy-drama set in a bog-standard secondary school – which ran on Channel 4 from 2001 to 2004, and is now available to watch in full on All4 – is the key show in the careers of the stars and creators of all those programmes and many others. It was also produced by one Jane Fallon, who happens to be the partner of Ricky Gervais, and has now written seven bestselling works of fiction. So, we possibly wouldn’t have…3 min

Heat|Issue 9483 Atomic BlondeTHE PLOT TV’s Deutschland 83 viewed the Cold War from the perspective of an East German spy. Now Atomic Blonde places its action in 1989, as MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton (Theron) is despatched to Berlin to extract a list of active field agents before it falls into Soviet hands. There, she meets her British contact (McAvoy), seduces a French agent (Boutella), and tries to spirit out a Stasi boss (Marsan) who has memorised the list. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? Adapted from graphic novel The Coldest City and helmed by David Leitch (John Wick), Atomic Blonde boasts a stylish ’80s look, resonant ’80s hits and inventive fight sequences. And it’s great to see a strong female at the centre of it all. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? Since the film begins with…1 min
Heat|Issue 9486 People Just Do NothingFresh from their deadpan Comic Relief appearance alongside Ed Sheeran, the Brentford massive return for a fourth series of this rib-bothering mockumentary show. MC Grindah (Allan Mustafa), DJ Beats (Hugo Chegwin) and Chabuddy G (Asim Chaudhry) are still running Kurupt FM, a pirate radio station in west London that specialises in all manner of phat beats. The station’s future is uncertain, though, because the boys’ lives are heading down different paths. Grindah’s depressed after his break-up, while Beats’ girlfriend is having a baby and Chabuddy struggles with bankruptcy. As if this wasn’t enough, they also have to deal with the prospect of imminent war with a rival pirate station. ★★★★★ Jason Arnopp…1 min
Heat|Issue 9489 CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF“Who’s gonna be the cherry on the cake? Who’s gonna be the rotten egg?” ponders Gregg Wallace, as he and John Torode prepare to funnel another 20 celebrities through the process. In tonight’s opening heat, five culinary-minded stars approach the hobs: comedian Jim Moir (aka Vic Reeves), TV presenters Angellica Bell and Julia Somerville, seven-time Snooker world champion Stephen Hendry and French tennis legend Henri Leconte. First, they face the infamous Mystery Box, whose contents they must use to make one dish. Tricky, since this box contains both lamb and rhubarb. The celebs then form two groups to cook in the kitchens of restaurants Aster and Temper, where they must keep up with orders from paying customers. Finally, they’ll cook a two-course menu of their own design. In just one…2 min
Heat|Issue 94812 ApologiaThis revival of a 2009 play by Alexi Kaye Campbell is, among many things, an extraordinary showcase for Stockard Channing, the 73 year old who first rose to fame as Rizzo in Grease back in 1978. Channing plays Kristin, a fearsome art historian and political activist whose new book of memoirs brutally fails to mention her two adult sons – Peter, a successful banker, and Simon, a deeply troubled would-be writer (both played, cunningly, by Joseph Millson). They gather along with Peter’s new, eager-to-please religious girlfriend Trudi (Laura Carmichael), Simon’s soap star partner Claire (Freema Agyeman) and Kristin’s gay best friend Hugh (Desmond Barrit), for what turns out to be the Dinner Party From Hell. The first half is brilliantly funny, then everything gets darker. It’s full of clever insights…1 min
Heat|Issue 94815 Tom Of FinlandTHE PLOT Tom of Finland found fame for his pencil drawings of massively endowed icons of hyper-masculinity such as motorcycle cops, sailors and construction workers. This absorbing biopic celebrates the gay Helsinki artist (real name: Touko Laaksonen) as he battles prejudice and finds true love with his lodger (Tilkanen). WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? Presenting the man behind the mysterious legend, Tom… shows how state repression inspired a defiantly sex-positive creativity. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? Spanning the decades from World War II to the 1980s AIDS epidemic, the film’s narrative is an inevitable casualty of a rather sprawling story. VERDICT Discover the man whose images inspired The Village People and Freddie Mercury. ★★★★ Charles Gant…1 min

Heat|Issue 948Posh went garageShe’s had more looks than she’s had low-carb dinners – so many, in fact, that we had almost forgotten about Vicky B, the UK garage star. But then, this gem of a throwback snap appears, and suddenly it’s the year 2000 again and we’re popping and locking to some sick synthesised beats and wearing sunglasses in da club. Because if Dane Bowers does it, it must be cool. It’s hard to believe it was 17 years ago that Posh rocked Ibiza in a silver PVC catsuit, as a (heavily autotuned) voice of True Steppers’ and Dane’s smash hit single Out Of Your Mind. It was – and still is – all so out of character, but blimey, she gave it a good go, didn’t she? With her dishevelled hair and…1 min
Heat|Issue 948Khloé: BABY AT LAST!Prepare yourself, guys, because another Kardashian is about to break the internet. After confirming that she’s off the Pill and admitting she wants an impressive six children with boyfriend Tristan Thompson, Khloé Kardashian is telling friends to get ready for an “official announcement” very soon. In fact, rumours are the star could already be pregnant. “Everyone is so happy Khloé’s going to be a mom at last,” says heat’s insider. “She’s wanted this for so long. To say this is a magical time in her life doesn’t do it justice. She’s on cloud nine from morning to night – she can hardly believe all her dreams are coming true. “She’s found the love of her life and she’s going to be a mom – it’s everything she’s always wanted.” And…4 min
Heat|Issue 948Posh turns to Eva for marriage adviceShe’s been working hard in recent weeks to shut down rumours that her marriage is under strain, putting on a united front in public with David and the kids and “keeping upappearances” on social media with gushy family posts and pics. But behind the scenes, Victoria Beckham is said to be upset by claims that she and her husband are living separate lives. And, in a bid to fix the reported cracks in their relationship, she’s turned to close friend Eva Longoria for guidance. “Eva really knows what she’s talking about when it comes to dealing with marriage problems,” a source close to Posh tells heat. “She’s had two failed marriages and she’s learnt a lot from them. It’s not just third time lucky with[her new husband José Bastón], she…3 min
Heat|Issue 948SCHERZY REIGNITES FEUD WITH CHERYLPoor Cheryl just can’t escape the drama at the moment. On top of her latest falling out with Sarah Harding , Nicole Scherzinger reignited tensions with her former rival last week by spending the night partying with the ex-husband Cheryl would rather forget, Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini. “Cheryl is really annoyed about this and the drama it’s caused,” says an insider close to the former Girls Aloud singer. Nicole, 39, happily posed for pics with Cheryl’s ex, who she divorced last year on the grounds of his “unreasonable behaviour”, and we’re told, “Everyone knows Cheryl was deeply unhappy in her 18-month marriage to JB, so Nicole giving him the time of day and the pics being posted all over Instagram is a massive insult.

The 41 year old is said to have made such great progress in the past four weeks that he’s been taking day trips out of the clinic to go to the shops or the park. Prior to this, the much-loved TV presenter hadn’t been able to see his friends or family – including his wife of 12 years, Lisa Armstrong, and best mate Declan Donnelly – as it was thought better that Ant “go it alone” . A source says, “He’s doing very well, considering what he’s been through. It’s been very tough for him, but he really wants to get better and promised…1 min

That’s right, the woman whose dating history reads like a most-wanted roll call has sworn off your type for good. Lauren, 30, was overheard making the declaration on a night out last week, loudly telling friends that she was “over dating crims”. This came after her split earlier this month from boyfriend Joey Morrison, who is currently seven years into a 16-year stretch for a string of violent drug-related offences. The former TOWIE star, who has been a regular visitor to HMP Highpoint South in Suffolk since she started dating Joey last year, has been telling friends that she’s fed-up with bankrolling her boyfriends. “Lauren’s over being mugged off by crooks,” a friend of the star tells heat. “She says she’s…1 min

After everything she’s been through, the singer really seems to have found true love with fitness model Sam Asghari – and insiders tell heat she’s ready to get married. Again. There’s just one small problem: her dad. “Britney is so happy and sure about Sam, but her dad is less so,” says an insider close to Britney, who is still under a court conservatorship following her breakdown in 2007. It means her dad, Jamie Spears, is legally in charge of everything in his daughter’s life – from her money to relationship decisions. The source tells us, “If Britney had it her way, she and Sam would be engaged by now. But Jamie…2 min

But what really goes on behind the scenes? Is it all set up? Do the couples message each other in secret? Are the fiancés really that dim?

Heat|Issue 948Top Of The Lake: China GirlThe only trouble with binge-watching this six-hour sequel to Jane Campion’s classic crime saga Top Of The Lake, which is all on iPlayer, is that you don’t know how much you can discuss without ruining it for those who have yet to consume the whole thing, and are instead diligently watching it on a weekly basis on quaint old BBC2. So, I’m going to tread carefully and try not to spoil it, but what I will say is you should stop what you’re doing right now, crank up the iPlayer and watch it allASAP. The sequel retains many of the key ingredients that made the original so brilliantly unique. Elisabeth Moss’ detective Robin Griffin is still one of the best TV cops ever, reacting to every deeply sexist act from…4 min
Heat|Issue 9481 THE DEFENDERSThe Defenders, dropping in full next Friday, is a big moment for Netflix. Think of it as their Avengers: a coming together of a gaggle of Marvel superhero characters whose stories so far have previously been told in lavish Netflix series Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. Of course, the streaming service doesn’t ever reveal viewing figures of any of these shows, so we have no idea how popular these previous Marvel comic-book based series have been, but it’s fair to say they haven’t been met with universal acclaim. IT STARTED WITH MURDOCK Daredevil was the first of these shows to “drop” on Netflix in 2015, and it did kick the whole saga off in pretty good fashion, mixing a gritty style with action-packed set-pieces and a smart…3 min
Heat|Issue 9484 RiverdaleBased on the American Archiecomics, this teen drama series – shown in the UK on Netflix – brings us its own take on small-town life.

Heat|Issue 94810 Life Of KylieThe pout, the private jets, the non-stop selfies… you may think you know everything there is to know about Kylie Jenner, but you’re wrong, because apparently, what you see on social media isn’t the “real Kylie”. Instead over half an hour, a fully made-up Kyles give us a true insight into her life. Crucially, we learn if a selfie gets negative feedback from her 3m followers, Kylie will delete it and “revaluate her decision”, plus her life goal is to feel normal (good luck with that). Oh, and she sweetly decides to accompany a dateless school kid to his prom so hops on her, erm, private jet to surprise him. And if that’s not enough, if you tune in from 8am, you can watch all Kylie’s “best moments” in the…1 min
Heat|Issue 94813 Annabelle: CreationTHE PLOT While the 1969-set Annabelle was a prequel to the Conjuring movies, this origins story dials the action back even further, as six orphaned girls and a young nun move into the home of a former doll maker (Anthony LaPaglia) and his bed-bound wife (Miranda Otto). There, they encounter the titular demonically possessed doll. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? The scares are even more visceral when being experienced by the two youngest orphans. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? What is essentially a prequel to a film that was already a spin-off, a sense of familiarity is inevitable. VERDICT Genuinely scary, it offers more of the same, but will satisfy fans. ★★★ Charles Gant…1 min

She nearly signed up last year, but things were falling apart with [on/off partner] Scott Disick, so she put it off, but really regrets it.

Heat|Issue 948POSH’S NEW BLINGMost men buy flowers when things are tough, but when you’re multimillionaire David Beckham, a bunch of daffs from the garage won’t do. Instead, it looks as if he has bought Posh a very expensive diamond ring after weeks of rumours about their marriage. Vic flashed her giant rock as she posed alongside David and it’s the latest in a long line of rings she was worn on her wedding finger. When they got engaged back in January 1998, Posh got a £65,000 marquise-shaped diamond and has upgraded regularly, including a £1m yellow diamond in 2007. This latest one is thought to be number 14 and easily set him back £200,000. Surely there are cheaper ways to get in her good books, David?…1 min

But according to Ex On The Beach star Zaralena Jackson – who describes her relationship with Jem as “friends with benefits” – the CBB housemate couldn’t be further removed from her public image. In fact, she says, Jemma is actually a big softie. “When she told me she was going on CBB, I was so happy, because it meant the public would finally see the side of Jem that I know,” Zaralena tells us in an exclusive chat. “She’s not…2 min
Heat|Issue 948It’s an A-list flare affairWe’ve told you once and we’re telling you again – skinnies are officially OVER. Luckily, this week the celebs have all taken note and ditched their slim-leg trousers in favour of the throwback, ’70s-style flare, and that means serious style inspo for us. Versatile enough for everyday, à la Fearne and Gigi, nights out like ex-Love Islander Kady, or even the office ( just swap your band tee or bralet for a classic white shirt) – these figure-hugging trousers can be just as hard-working as your old wardrobe faves. We’ve got all the advice to make it an a-flare to remember. The ’70s are back in a big way next season, and Bella’s showing her catwalk credentials by stepping out in the era’s staple denim flares.

Heat|Issue 948Beach rock starsThe weather over here might be a bit unreliable this August… so you can always count on a celeb to make you feel much worse about the whole thing by sunning themselves somewhere glorious. If you haven’t seen much sunshine yet this summer, we thoroughly recommend looking away now. GWEN STEFANI She’s 47, she’s got three children, and yet the Hollaback Girl singer has never looked fitter and hotter. Gwen strolled along Newport Beach in California, rocking Daisy Duke shorts, at least two shirts and a lot of accessories, which definitely shouldn’t work, but does. Gwen’s known for her high-intensity cardio and weight-training sessions, and recently said, “I work out five days a week. I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the…2 min
Heat|Issue 948Chloe sends the ‘hot felon’ to finishing schoolWe don’t know about you, but we are concerning levels of obsessed with these two. Ever since Chloe Green and Jeremy “Hot Felon” Meeks made their PDA-y debut on a yacht last month, we can’t get enough of the couple bringing a new definition to the term Opposites Attract. And heat can reveal that billionaire Chloe is even now making plans to – wait for it – send him to finishing school. “She wants to rebrand him,” says an insider close to the Topshop heiress, whose dad, Philip Green, is worth £3.8bn. “Chloe adores Jeremy, but she wants to help him with his manners. She found a weekend retreat in LA, which is all about teaching guys the power of being a gentleman. The course promises to teach clients how…2 min
Heat|Issue 948Bradley and Irina SET THE DATEDoes it get more glitteringly A-list than this? Actor Bradley Cooper and his supermodel fiancée Irina Shayk have set a date to get hitched in France next spring – and their good mate Brad Pitt is offering up the famous Chateau Miraval for the event. “They’ve decided to get married next year, in March,” says an insider close to the engaged couple, who’ve been together since 2015 and had their baby daughter, Lea, in March. “It’s the date of Lea’s first birthday and France is where she was conceived,” says a source. “The wedding will be tiny, with just immediate family and a handful of friends invited.” But low-key or not, Bradley, 42, and Irina, 31, are still pulling in big-name favours to make their day special. “Bradley’s close friend…1 min

When you’re a successful actress and comedian, you need to flex your performance chops at every given opportunity, using any prop you may have to hand.

Heat|Issue 948JAMES McAVOY: ‘I’M NOT A SEX SYMBOL I’M JUST ALRIGHT’Unlike some actors we could mention, James McAvoy seems to be in the business mainly to have fun. Look at his recent film choices: playing a man with 23 personalities in thriller Split, going way over the top as a psychopathic policeman in outrageous Irvine Welsh adaptation Filth, and starring in a gaggle of giddy X-Men films. Now, he continues this run of big-screen entertainments with a wryly funny turn as a covert espionage chap opposite Charlize Theron’s kick-ass MI6 agent in Atomic Blonde, a frothy Cold War thriller from the director of John Wick. His own explanation of why he wanted the role is typically unpretentious. “I just wanted to be in a movie where I could rock, and I say rock with emphasis – a sweater vest with…7 min

Heat|Issue 94811 Cheap Cheap CheapLess than a year after Deal Or No Deal was axed by Channel 4, Noel Edmonds returns to the channel with a new hour-long game show, based on a cunningly simple – yet strangely addictive – guessing game. Set in a fictional general store, ‘store owner’ Noel invites pairs of contestants to win an increasing amount of money by guessing which of three similar everyday items (baked beans, candles, noodles etc) is the cheapest. Failure to get it right leads to instant dismissal and the next set of contestants take up the challenge. Assisting in the process are ‘comedy’ characters Barry the store manager and Marijana, a health and happiness guru who won’t split your sides, but add a suitable surreal twist to proceedings. A+ for originality. ★★★★ Kay Ribeiro…1 min
Heat|Issue 94817 A Ghost StoryTHE PLOT Tragedy strikes suburban couple C (Affleck) and M (Mara) when the former is killed in a car crash. As a ghost, he haunts their home, trying to reconnect with his bereft wife. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? Writer-director David Lowery (who directed both actors in Ain’t Them Bodies Saints) deserves credit for his creative daring: presenting the ghost as Affleck covered in a white sheet, kiddie playacting-style. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? The uneventful story rather takes our interest for granted, while an uninterrupted four-minute shot of Mara eating a large chocolate pie (which she then pukes up) sure is painful to watch. VERDICT It’s the very definition of quirky US indie fare, sure to delight and confound audiences in equal measure. ★★★ Charles Gant…1 min
