Heat|Issue 1021WESTLIFE...Westlife are back, ready to start swearing it all over again with a tour to celebrate their 20th anniversary. While it might feel to us that those 20 years have flown by, Mark Feehily – who looked damn fine when he and the boys popped into Magic Radio – recently reflected on what a difference two decades can make. He says, “Twenty years ago, I thought I looked terrible, and there were certain people who told me I looked too fat. I look back and I think I was f**king gorgeous. If only I could look like that now!” Well, we think you’re still a stunner, Mark. Every issue, we award a star this prestigious honour for services to celebrity that go above and beyond the call of duty……1 min
Heat|Issue 1021The STAR ExchangeSAFE BET NOT-SO-MEAN GIRLS Lindsay Lohan doesn’t have the best rep among her peers, not least Paris Hilton, who once dubbed her a “pathological liar”. But she’s got a fan in Miley Cyrus, who called her new reality series the “best show ever”. If Miley likes it, so do we.

Heat|Issue 1021Katie pleads not guilty to drink-drivingWelcome to the 2019 edition of “Katie Price doing things to keep slowly ruining her life”. This time, our story starts in Bromley Magistrates’ Court, where last week, Katie pleaded not guilty to being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle. The 40 year old had been charged with the offence after her infamous pink Range Rover was found crashed in a bush last October. As she wasn’t seen to be physically driving it at the time, she wasn’t charged with drink-driving, but now that Katie has entered a not guilty plea for the offence of being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle, it is up to her and her legal team to prove that she had no intention of driving the vehicle while allegedly almost twice over the…2 min
Heat|Issue 1021GUTTED GAGA’S GLOBE SNUBBy all accounts, it really should have been her big moment – she had the showstopping dress and, we’re told, the pre-written acceptance speech to prove it. But Lady Gaga’s night at the Golden Globes turned sour last week, after she failed to take home the award for Best Actress for her stellar performance in A Star Is Born. And even though she delivered a prize-winning “gracious loser” performance once Glenn Close’s name had been called – and excitedly embraced the winner before she took to the stage – insiders say that the singer is still smarting from the industry snub. “There was such a massive build-up to the event and many in the industry were telling her that she was certain to win,” a source close to the singer…2 min
Heat|Issue 1021Cheryl’s secret agony auntIn times of crisis, we all need a shoulder to cry on and Cheryl is no different. After all, there’s only so many knocks one person can take, and it seems she’s reached breaking point following a negative response to new show The Greatest Dancer. Apparently, the 35 year old has found her very own Dear Deirdre in the form of an old ally, who knows how it feels to publicly fall from grace. Step forward ,Tulisa Contostavlos. “Cheryl feels as though she can’t catch a break, and she’s had it with everyone in her team making suggestions that aren’t working,” says an insider close to the singer, whose TV talent show was beaten in the ratings by ITV’s The Voice UK. “She knows Tulisa’s been in a worse position,…2 min
Heat|Issue 1021Kanye wants a mini TrumpJust when we thought the world couldn’t get worse, there’s a new Kardashian on the way and Kanye wants to name it Trump. Just let that sink in. After it was revealed that Kimye are expecting their fourth child, their second via surrogate, a source close to the couple tells heat that they are already fighting over baby names, “and it’s all because he wants to name their son Trump!” “At first Kim thought Kanye was joking, but he is being deadly serious about calling their baby boy Trump,” we’re told. “He said it was the perfect tribute to the US president – everyone knows Kanye is a huge fan of him – but Kim doesn’t feel the same way.” The couple are already parents to a uniquely-named gang of…1 min
Heat|Issue 1021Why the Spice Girls turned down £80mThey’re set to make a bundle from their much-hyped reunion tour, yet the Spice Girls have always insisted they’re doing it for the fans, not the money. Well, surprisingly, it seems that Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Mel B and Mel C might just be telling the truth, following reports that they have turned down an £80million offer to tour the US. The reason? Simmering tensions in the group, which they fear could explode if they spend any longer together than currently planned. So, friendship really DOES end after all – precisely 13 performances later. “They are apprehensive about doing more shows in the US, because they know from experience how long periods of time together on the road cause tension,” a source close to the band has said, explaining why,…2 min

Heat|Issue 1021Torso OF THE WEEKHUSBAND GOALS #123 LUKE EVANS Readers, take a look at this man and tell us, would you have rejected him in favour of a cursed, anthropomorphic creature who talks to household objects? Us neither. So, more fool you, Emma Watson. Luke stole the show as arrogant-but-hot rogue Gaston in the 2017 remake of Beauty And The Beast and, by the look of things, he’s as enchanting as ever – your loss is our gain, Ems. That being said, we’re unlikely to be the openly gay star’s type. We’ll soon see the 39 year old in upcoming comedy Murder Mystery, with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. But judging by these beachy shots, he’s clearly ready and waiting for his James Bond moment. Take note, filmmakers. Luke may be all glitz and…1 min
Heat|Issue 1021LIFE LESSONS FROM ’90S TEEN MOVIESWhen exactly was the golden age of cinema? As far as we’re concerned, there’s no question: movie magic peaked in 1999, with release after release of teen film gold. And, boy, did those films prepare us for every adolescent foible to come, despite the fact our secondary schools didn’t have a jock or cheerleader in sight. Sure, they may have packed their high schools with 30 year olds, and given us that epic first kiss, but they also taught us some important life lessons – ones that we still follow today. So, critics, you can keep your film noir, your CGI blockbusters and your indie flicks, because we know that the golden age of cinema happened 20 years ago. And we’ll never stop learning.

Heat|Issue 1021BOYD’S TV LANDMY VERDICT ON… True Detective Season 3 Sky Atlantic/NOW TV The new series of True Detective isn’t exactly a bundle of laughs. Sure, it’s a story about the (fictional) case of two young siblings disappearing in a small town in the Ozarks in 1980. But the first season of this beautifully filmed show had, if anything, an even more bleak and grim central mystery, yet was enlivened no end by the brilliantly written buddy cop banter between its central detective duo, played by Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. This time, the police partners are Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) and Roland West (Stephen Dorff), and they have a weirdly basic, almost monosyllabic, relationship. Ali, superb in Oscar-winning film Moonlight, has to play his character at three separate times in his life,…1 min
Heat|Issue 1021‘Sarah deserves a quieter life’CORRIE Any hope of lovebirds Sarah and Gary getting it on are nixed next week, when Audrey comes to stay (because of her dry rot issues , LOL) and they’re relegated to lilos in the living room. Romantic. But that’s not their only problem, as a cash-strapped Gaz loses out on the contract on Audrey’s house and stupidly considers working for Joe again. Sarah’s obvs fuming and finds herself back at Adam’s, as actress Tina O’Brien explains... Is Sarah annoyed when Nicola returns with baby Zack? Sarah doesn’t actually have a problem with Nicola, it is all very civil. But she is not impressed when she sees the designer clothes Gary has bought Zack. They are sleeping on the floor and the baby is wearing expensive clothes! What happens when…2 min
Heat|Issue 1021WHO’S WHO IN TIN STAR?JACK WORTH (TIM ROTH) Given that it would be disastrous for the show to kill him off, it’s safe to say Jack is still alive after his daughter Anna tried to bump him off. But will he remember anything that happened on the mountaintop or why his family resent him? ANGELA WORTH (GENEVIEVE O’REILLY) While Angela’s had to put up with a lot from Jack, as the torture scene in series one shows, she’s hardly pure as the driven snow herself. Now, after everyone got trigger happy on the mountain, she has to decide where her loyalties lie. ANNA WORTH (ABIGAIL LAWRIE) Despite Whitey killing her little brother, Anna doesn’t seek revenge, but tries to protect him when her dad wants to put a bullet in him, and ends up…1 min
Heat|Issue 10215 GlassStarring: James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L Jackson, Sarah Paulson Director: M Night Shyamalan THE PLOT A sequel to both writer-director Shyamalan’s Unbreakable (2000) and Split (2016), this contrives to lock up those two films’ three main characters in the same mental hospital. There, a plucky psychologist (Paulson) probes the minds of mysterious vigilante David Dunn (Willis), devious comic-book theorist Elijah Price (Jackson) and the highly disturbed Kevin Crumb (McAvoy), who suffers from multiple-personality disorder. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? If you enjoyed McAvoy’s unhinged shtick in Split, there’s plenty more of that here, and entertainingly so, while Shyamalan devotees will enjoy seeing these worlds collide. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? Working with a too-modest budget and mostly in a single location, the director takes our interest too much for granted. VERDICT…1 min
Heat|Issue 10217 Danny Dyer’s Right Royal FamilyFollowing Danny Dyer’s discovery on Who Do You Think You Are? that he is a direct descendant of Edward III (his 22 times grandpa), the Beeb realised a two-parter on Danny exploring his royal connections – leading all the way back to Viking Rollo in 846 AD – would be TV gold. And they’re not wrong. Over the course of an hour, Danny throws himself into the “right nutty royal caper”, heading to Sweden to take part in a re-enactment of a Viking fight (feasting on sheep’s tongue afterwards), embracing William The Conqueror’s passion for horses and generally having a laugh. Most amusing of all is the notorious potty mouth carrying a swear box around as a nod to his puritanical gramps Louis IX. ★★★★ Kay Ribeiro…1 min

Instead, they arrive at a waste dump, where they find dismembered body parts covered in intricate Japanese tattoos. Meanwhile, Nikki has news she desperately wants to share with Matt. Concludes tomorrow. ★★★★ Jason Arnopp Vera ITV, Sunday 20 January, 8pm In the sleepy coastal town of Peyton-by-the-Sea, Vera investigates a teenage boy’s murder.

Heat|Issue 102115 Mary Queen Of ScotsStarring: Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie, Jack Lowden Director: Josie Rourke THE PLOT In Britain’s tangled mid-16th-century politics, Scottish queen Mary (Ronan) must maintain the support of her own nobles, while not antagonising powerful neighbour Queen Elizabeth of England (Robbie). One crucial decision: choosing the right husband. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? Ronan is predictably captivating as the fierce monarch, who knows that any son she produces has a good chance of uniting the English and Scottish thrones. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? The physical separation of this story’s two main characters is a challenge the film cannot quite overcome. VERDICT A decent effort, but this complicated slice of history might have been better served by a mini-series. ★★★ Charles Gant…1 min

Heat|Issue 1021When Madonna was Snatch-edDoesn’t it just feel like simpler times looking at these two? Look how normal Madonna’s face is. Look how happy Guy Ritchie is, pretending to be all scary. Look at them in their matching power suits. The year was 2001, and Madonna and Guy were doing their power couple thing at the premiere of his film Snatch, just three weeks after their A-list wedding at a Scottish Castle. The pair met in 1999, after being sat next to each other at a dinner party at Trudie Styler’s London home, and Madonna gave birth to their son Rocco just a year later. The couple also adopted another son, David, together, but by 2008, their marriage had broken down. Guy said their divorce was like a “death”, but he did get around…1 min
Heat|Issue 1021Coleen: ‘YOU’VE RUINED OUR NEW LIFE’For a man meant to be on his best behaviour, Wayne Rooney isn’t exactly doing a sterling job of it. Last week, it was revealed the former England captain had been arrested in the US for public intoxication and swearing at police officers – and he spent three hours locked up in a cell while he sobered up (after posing for the obligatory mugshot). Understandably, wife Coleen hit the roof when she found out, especially as it comes less than 18 months after he was arrested for drink-driving, while taking home a woman he had met in a bar. During a furious row, Coleen reportedly yelled at him, “How many times do you need to be told?” An insider also revealed, “She told him he wasn’t to go out of…5 min
Heat|Issue 1021Ferne: ‘I’m playing hard to get’With another TV show on its way, a best-selling fitness DVD and a one-year-old daughter to contend with, Ferne McCann has a lot on her plate this year. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t on the lookout for love – and from the sound of it, the guys are forming a queue. She tells heat, “I’m doing this whole ‘hard to get’ thing without even trying, because I physically don’t have the time for anyone. So, they’re wanting me even more at the moment! I’ve had some lovely offers, but I don’t have the time.” While her life might not be that of a normal 27 year old, Ferne is just looking for someone to make her chuckle and take her out to Zizzi’s every once in a while. “I…2 min
Heat|Issue 1021Stars light up the Golden GlobesWho can possibly forget last year’s ground-breaking Golden Globes, when almost every female attendee arrived in black to show support for the #MeToo movement? A powerful sight to behold, for sure – plus, a joy for any messy eaters among them. But last week, our favourite Hollywood ladies braved visible stains again, rocking up on the red carpet in a rainbow of show-stopping outfits. And didn’t they look fah-bu-lous? We had it all: Kate Beckinsale looking like a sexy lampshade, Julia Roberts rocking a fierce Stella McCartney trousers-and-dress-in-one combo, and Jameela Jamil looking princess-perfect. But as far as we’re concerned, the night belonged to one superstar – and that was Sandra Oh. The 47 year old looked divine in Versace as she posed alongside her Killing Eve co-star Jodie Comer,…1 min
Heat|Issue 10215-aside team for SophieThe Ellis-Bextor-Jones’ may be on the hunt for a minibus soon, after Sophie gave birth to a son last week. With a brood of four boys already, the singer and her husband Richard Jones were thrilled to welcome their latest addition, Mickey. Sophie posted a photo to her Instagram captioned, “He’s here! Mickey Jones born today weighing 7lb 1oz and he’s absolutely gorgeous. Welcome to our quirky little family, sweet boy. We’re so glad you’re here safe.” Sophie and her musician husband are already parents to Sonny, 14, Kit, nine, Ray, six, and two-year-old Jesse. Sophie hit back at reports that suggested she had wanted a daughter to add to her household of men. In response to an article saying she had hinted she’d like a girl, the 39 year…2 min
Heat|Issue 1021‘Louise is struggling without Jamie’She’d been excitingly preparing for her West End debut for months, but last week, Louise Redknapp was forced to pull out of the new, much-hyped 9 To 5 musical before it had even made the stage. The 44-year-old singer fell over in the street and smashed her face – requiring ten stitches for a nasty gash in her chin, as well as fracturing her left wrist. On doctors’ orders, she is now off work for two months, but many fans were questioning the length of all that time off. “Two months out for a grazed chin? Seems a bit OTT,” one said, while another commented, “I feel there’s a bit more going on than a simple fall.” Now, insiders tell heat that Louise – who was seen at an exclusive…2 min
Heat|Issue 1021Chris: ‘My brother has testicular cancer’Last week, Love Island 2017 star Chris Hughes revealed the sad news that his brother Ben has been diagnosed with testicular cancer. Chris had recently been praised for getting a testicular examination live on This Morning to raise awareness of the disease, and his appearance helped Ben decide to get checked out. In an Instagram post, Chris wrote, “A sad day. My brother was diagnosed with testicular cancer this lunchtime, in which we pray for a kind prognosis. He came into my room at 3am the morning after my testicular examination on TV, clearly struggling to sleep, telling me he’d found a lump and asked me if he’s checking it right. To which I told him, ‘Ben, it’s 3am, I’ll look in the morning, but if there’s a lump, go…1 min
Heat|Issue 1021Michelle’s ‘holding Mark back’They have faced so many trials and tribulations in their relationship, but the latest is a little too close to home for Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright. A source close to the showbiz couple tells us Mark’s family are worried that “Michelle is holding him back in his professional and personal life” – and their feelings are making Michelle “incredibly anxious.” “Michelle is feeling under attack from the Wrights, who think she’s calling all the shots in the marriage, especially over when they’ll have children,” we’re told. “Michelle isn’t used to all this negativity, not only from his family, but also social media, where fans have accused her of making Mark’s LA dream difficult.” The couple often spend long stretches of time apart as Mark is based in Los Angeles,…2 min

But when you’re a young socialite, trudging the streets of Chelsea by day and downing Moët by night, things can be very overwhelming. So, Jungle Queen Toff decided to take herself back to her tropical roots and head to the wilderness. And when we say wilderness, we mean a five-star resort in the Caribbean… probably. SO?

Heat|Issue 1021DERMOT O’LEARY: I’VE CHEATED ON MY WIFE… WITH TV!If Dermot O’Leary doesn’t win an NTA – along with his X Factor compadres for Best Talent Show – we’re going to storm the stage. And given the ease with which someone breezily invaded the stage at the O2 Arena last year (“He walked from outside all the way through – through the VIP area, past security, onstage and no one stopped him!” says Derm), this isn’t an idle threat. Our strong feelings aren’t based on the fact that Dermot is a heat favourite, who we’ve interviewed innumerable times over the years, or even because he’s a genuinely lovely guy, but because he’s bloody good at his job and deserves recognition. From his early days onT4 and Big Brother’s Little Brother, where he’d bounce around the studio with the boundless…8 min

The 27 year old Australian actress stole the show as the vivacious Dolly Parton-loving teenage daughter of an ex-beauty queen (oh hey, Jen Aniston). Not only is the film a total heart warmer, but it tackles the everyday struggles of unrealistic beauty ideals, and her journey to start loving herself as much as those around her clearly do. And with leg-baring dresses and loads of feminine glam as her signature style, this is a gal who knows what she likes. What a babe.

You can fit it into your day so easily – walk out your house, jog for ten minutes, then you’re done. It works your whole body – your arms, your legs, your core. For me, it’s the most simple and effective form of exercise. You can do it anywhere and at any time that works for you. You’ll get through the 1,000 minutes in no time.

We rejoin the action in 15th Century Florence, 20 years after the events of the first series, just in time to see Lorenzo forced to take leadership of his father’s family-run bank. In doing so, he becomes known as Lorenzo The Magnificent, but his intended new methods see him at loggerheads with Jacopo Pazzi (Sean Bean), the head of Florence’s other powerful banking fam, and a conspiracy starts to take shape.

Heat|Issue 10218 Beautiful BoyStarring: Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, Maura Tierney Director: Felix Van Groeningen THE PLOT Journalist David (Carell) is blindsided when his smart, handsome college-age son (Chalamet) finds himself in the grip of crystal-meth addiction. How can he and his second wife Karen (Tierney) best help Nic to help himself back to recovery? WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? Adapted from twin memoirs by David and Nic Sheff, this is a heartbreaking true story, sensitively told, and elevated by its superb cast. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? The plot coordinates of addiction movies are all essentially the same – with drug abuse, lying and stealing spiralling into deep shame, which leads to more self-medication – so this story may seem overly familiar.

Heat|Issue 102116 Monsters And MenStarring: John David Washington, Anthony Ramos, Kelvin Harrison Jr Director: Reinaldo Marcus Green THE PLOT The police killing of an unarmed black man impacts the lives of three individuals: a witness to the shooting, a cop who has his loyalties tested, and a teenage baseball star who is caught up in the political aftermath. WHAT’S RIGHT WITH IT? It’s a smartly scripted drama that gives plenty of scope to the audience regarding what to think. WHAT’S WRONG WITH IT? The three-part structure – the stories are told separately and barely interwoven – inevitably diffuses the impact. VERDICT A superior US indie drama that probably won’t reach the same audience achieved by last year’s similarly themed YA adaptation The Hate U Give. ★★★★ Charles Gant…1 min

Heat|Issue 1021DAVID’S SISTER ACCUSED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCEDavid’s sister Joanne and her baby daddy Kris Donnelly have hit the headlines again, after Kris accused Joanne of assaulting him during a heated row last year – and released photos of himself sporting a black eye. The former Big Brother star said, “The argument started with Joanne. I turned around and was hit in the face with the Sky remote. I was stunned.” According to him, Joanne then called the police to accuse him of harassment, but when they turned up, they advised him to report her for assault, although no further action was taken.

Heat|Issue 1021Will Meg REALLY return to Suits?She ditched acting for royal duties when she got engaged to Prince Harry in 2017, insisting it was the beginning of “a new chapter”. But apparently, TV executives aren’t letting Meghan Markle get away so easily – not when she’s such a bankable star. According to reports, Meg’s old bosses at NBC Universal, the network behind her TV drama Suits, are desperate for her to make a cameo as Rachel Zane in one last episode – and they’d be willing to fork out a multimillion-dollar charity donation for it . “It would be one of the biggest marketing coups in TV history,” a US telly insider revealed last week. “We could be done in half a day or less.

Heat|Issue 1021LOOK AT THESE MUGSCelebs are used to walking into the spotlight and staring unblinkingly into the paparazzi’s lens, but there’s one camera they’d rather avoid – the one with a police officer behind it. Thankfully, in the interest of public safety (and nosiness), mugshots are public record. It just so happens that when a celebrity steps in front of that nondescript background in one of those fetching orange boiler suits, the whole world gets to see it.

As my skin isn’t overly sensitive, I begin with a nut-based exfoliant to break down build-up – a sugar scrub is a gentler option. I follow with a peel when I need an extra boost. Look out for ingredients such as alpha and beta hydroxy acids. Red algae is also a fab milder option. Finally, radiance-boostingvitamin C is excellent for producing that gorge plumped-up glow.

But it turned out to be anything but, when his discovery of a conspiracy involving an evil oil company resulted in the (accidental) assassination of his son. Grief-stricken and blood-thirsty, Jim morphed into his alcoholic alter-ego Jack, who he’d left behind in London, and went on a violent rampage, hunting for the killer.

This opener, though, features part-time model Niall confronting his childhood sweetheart Chloe. ★★★★ Jason Arnopp…1 min
