    World famous DJ left in tears as he shared unforgettable moment with chart-topping stara

    EXCLUSIVE: Armin van Buuren revealed he was left in tears during a surreal collab, as he gears up for four huge final Ushuaïa Ibiza shows after taking the club by storm this summer16:12, 06 Sep 2025Updated 17:02, 06 Sep 2025The star has an Ushuaïa Ibiza residencyWorld famous DJ Armin van Buuren may be one of the biggest names in dance music, but even the most experienced DJs can still be moved to tears.The Dutch superstar revealed that one of his most surreal career highlights came in Miami while working alongside American singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw.“Honestly one of the most surreal moments for me was being in the studio in Miami with Gavin DeGraw,” Armin exclusively said. “We were working on Looking For Your Name, and when the track was finished, I actually cried, it was just so beautiful and emotional hearing it come together. To share a room with someone whose music I’ve admired for so long and then feel that overwhelmed by the result was definitely a pinch-me kind of moment.”It’s rare to hear a DJ of his calibre speak so openly, but it’s clear that music still affects him on the deepest level. That same passion is what he’s now bringing to his Ushuaïa Ibiza 2025 residency, which he describes as a dream come true.Armin has had an impressive summer at the Ibiza club“It’s amazing to be back there! Ibiza is my home away from home, and Ushuaïa Ibiza is just an amazing place to perform at. Couldn’t be happier having been able to have another summer residency there,” Armin said.He’s also embraced the new deck-to-deck format being trialled at the venue this year: “It took some getting used to the new format, simply because it requires a different approach for both artists to be in sync. But it really adds a new dimension to collaborative performances, and I’ve had a blast every time I did it so far.”With nearly three decades at the top of the global dance scene, Armin still remains hungry for more. He’s preparing for a run of four final shows at Ushuaïa this summer, culminating in a special four-hour closing set on September 28 — one of the most anticipated events of the Ibiza calendar.The DJ love performing all over the world(Image: AFP via Getty Images)“I love playing in Ibiza! I’ve played there the most and still love it so much,” he added. “I’ve got new music coming too, including some amazing collaborations with huge artists like Adam Beyer and many more I can’t reveal just yet.”From emotional studio sessions to stadium-shaking sets, Armin proves why he’s still one of the world’s most beloved DJs and why fans will be flocking to Ibiza for his unforgettable finale this summer.For more info and tickets please visit here.Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

    Katie Price’s chart hit feels like ‘revenge’ after exes cast her as ‘villain’

    Reality star Katie Price has been left feeling “on top of the world” after her 2017 single, I Got U, unexpectedly shot to number one in the iTunes chart last week14:34, 06 Sep 2025Katie Price has made a surprising comeback, topping the iTunes charts last week, which insiders say feels like sweet “revenge” following a tumultuous period where several ex-partners have publicly criticised her.Almost ten years since she last released music, the former glamour model’s 2017 single, ‘I Got U’, rocketed to number one after a wave of support from fans amidst ongoing disputes with exes, including Alex Reid. Insiders claim this success has left her feeling “on top of the world “.”Katie is over the moon – and it feels like real revenge against everyone after all the recent drama,” reveals our source. “She won’t back down when it comes to her detractors – she’s been deeply hurt and feels she’s always portrayed as the villain, so this has truly lifted her spirits when she needed it most.”In addition to her musical revival, Katie is embarking on a tour with her close mate Kerry Katona, where she’ll undoubtedly be revealing more about the recent turmoil. The tour, titled ‘An Evening With Katie Price and Kerry Katona’, will feature the long-time friends in a sit-down stage chat about their experiences in the entertainment industry, promising “performances and a QandA”.She first released the song in 2017A legion of fans have rallied behind Katie, showing their support by buying her single and tickets to the show – something that, according to the source, is making a high-stress situation a bit more manageable, reports the Mirror.”It’s not been easy for Katie having to defend herself over and over again when it comes to her exes. She feels like she’s a good mum and has actually held a lot of what has gone on back,” they say. “She was always going to come out fighting, but it’s nice for her to have some support and something for herself for once – she appreciates it.”Katie’s track was originally released as part of her ambitious shift from modelling into the music world, but it didn’t create much of a stir – leaving her musical dreams in tatters.She even tried to bag the UK’s Eurovision spot back in 2005, only to be beaten by Javine Hylton – who went on to finish a dismal 22nd in the competition.Katie will be touring with Kerry(Image: Instagram)But now, Katie’s rediscovered pop anthem has climbed above major stars like Olivia Dean and Benson Boone on the charts – thanks to a dedicated fanbase who’ve been streaming it relentlessly.Responding to her chart triumph, Katie gushed: “I’m number one. Thank you all so much for all your support, honestly means the world to me,” before declaring that her “dreams have come true”.The celebrity is mother to Harvey, 23, Junior, 20, Princess, 18, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11.It appears that musical talent runs through the family bloodline – Junior dropped his first single Slide in February 2022, followed by Only One in September 2023.He’s also been busy working away in recording studios and hinted earlier this year that “exciting things” were on the horizon. Katie’s musical boost has arrived at precisely the right moment, following a brutal social media assault from her former partner Alex last month.The cage fighter shared footage of Katie seemingly tallying bundles of cash during her bankruptcy proceedings, whilst pledging to “reveal the truth” about his “fame-hungry” former flame.Katie and Alex Reid had a whirlwind romance(Image: PA)In the clip, Katie – who has faced bankruptcy twice over debts exceeding £3 million – was questioned by daughter Princess about contributing to her school fees, prompting Katie to retort, “Your dad can sit on that” whilst raising her middle finger. Positioned beside a Christmas tree, she went on, “Does he go on about it a lot? Well, it’s tough because I’m in bankruptcy to next May now.”Reports suggest Katie has consulted solicitors regarding Alex’s claims. Nevertheless, her surprising chart triumph and the surge of public backing appears to have lifted her spirits considerably.Speaking on her podcast, Katie confessed that despite everything, she’s in a “strong place” and equipped to weather the storm.”I know my life has always been drama, which I’ve never created, it’s just naturally happened. But I’ve had such good support, I’m so not used to people being nice. With the things that have been going on, back in the day, I wouldn’t have been able to handle it.”Article continues belowBehind closed doors, Katie’s partner JJ Slater has emerged as another pillar of strength, with our insider revealing he’s been her anchor during the turbulent recent months. “JJ is proud of her. He knows that music has always been her dream. But, at the same time, he’s been glued to her hip because it’s been a difficult time, and he worries for her when he’s not there.”Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

    Kirsty Gallacher shares engagement hopes with age-gap boyfriend

    Kirsty Gallacher, 49, opened up about finding love again and becoming a ‘stepmum’ after divorce and whether she plans to walk down the aisle again with her ‘perfect’ boyfriend14:08, 06 Sep 2025Updated 14:08, 06 Sep 2025(Image: Dave Benett/Getty Images for Metropolitan Gaming)Telly star Kirsty Gallacher says she has finally found her ‘safe space’ in new boyfriend Darren Clayton and “would love to be engaged” to the ex-rugby ace. The ex-Sky Sports News host, 49, has been dating Darren, 39, since 2023.And Kirsty — already mum to Oscar, 18, and Jude, 15, from her marriage to ex-husband Paul Sampson — said her blended family with dad-of-one Darren is “chaotic, but very, very happy”.She told OK! Magazine: “I know it sounds cheesy, but he’s just my safe space. He helps me with everything, he’s my sounding board and he makes me laugh a lot. I’ve never been myself with anybody more than I am with him.”I think we would love to be engaged, but married? It’s such a hard one, because we are so happy right now. Why would we change that? But do we both think it would be nice? Yes, of course – and we’re both on the same page with that.”Gold Radio presenter Kirsty — who previously said she felt “horrendously lonely” after her split from ex-hubby Paul in 2015 — met Darren through mutual pals Gabby and Kenny Logan.But as she approaches her milestone 50th birthday, she looks and feels better than ever and says she has “made her peace” with turning the big 5-0, adding: “By this point, I couldn’t give a monkey’s.”My ducks are in a row, as much as they can be, I’ve got a wonderful partner and a wonderful family. I’m healthy. I feel better than ever.”And of the age gap with Darren, she joked: “He’ll turn 40 in December, then a month later I’m turning 50, so we’ve laughed about having a 90th birthday party. No one would know we’re 10 years apart and it doesn’t bother either of us.”Kirsty, who first found fame in the late 90s as a Sky Sports presenter, before going on to front TV series including Kirsty’s Home Videos, The Games and BBC reality show Only Fools On Horses, was co-hosting GB News’ breakfast show she suffered a health scare in 2021.She was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma, a benign tumour in her inner ear which caused “severe tinnitus” and meant she couldn’t hear properly.She plans to have radiotherapy treatment to manage the tumour later this year and added: “It makes me emotional talking about it actually. I went pretty much deaf, went to my GP and asked if it could be a brain tumour.Article continues below”It was a horrible, horrible moment, but I want to talk about it so we all feel less alone. I feel for anyone else going through that. It’s so worrying and it’s not easy navigating it day-to-day.”For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here. More

    Radiohead excited to play rejected James Bond song at upcoming concerts

    Radiohead want to play their rejected James Bond song for Spectre in full on their European tour later this year. The band have whittled the setlist down to 70 songs and have banned brother Colin and Johnny Greenwood from choosing the songs because they are too indecisive.12:02, 06 Sep 2025Radiohead are back later in 2026(Image: Getty Images)RADIOHEAD fans will be shaken (not stirred) by the band’s James Bond song at their upcoming gigs. The Oxford art rockers play their first shows in seven years across five cities later this year, including a London O2 Arena residency.The song they’re looking forward to playing most is their rejected 007 anthem Spectre which has only ever been aired briefly in acoustic fashion before.Bassist Colin Greenwood revealed: “I’d love to play the song Spectre. We did it in America for Moon Shaped Pool, Thom (Yorke) played it on the Rhodes keyboard. But I want to play it as a full band type thing, a la Paul McCartney Live & Let Die – there’s a massive bit in the middle.”Bassist Colin Greenwood is in mood for 007(Image: Getty Images North America)This year marks the 30th anniversary of Radiohead’s celebrated second album, The Bends but they’re not planning to play the whole thing.Instead Colin spilled: “It’s going to be a mixed set, we’ve whittled it down to 70 songs and me and my brother (guitarist Johnny) are not on the setlist committee, we’re not allowed. Because we are too indecisive!”Radiohead gigs are renowned for their intricacy but it sounds like the band are winging it this time.“We are going to take what we did in the summer of ‘24 when we did that jam, and we’re not doing many rehearsals either, so it all seems quite sort of relaxed,” said Colin referring to the band’s brief hook-up last year. “We will play anything in any order at any time. We take a busking attitude to the Radiohead setlist. We are playing everything – stuff from the first record right through to now. It’s going to be the first time we’ve done shows where we haven’t got new material as work in progress, but you never know; stuff might come up or whatever.”Thom Yorke and Colin Greenwood(Image: FilmMagic)Colin described doing residencies in Madrid, Bologna, Berlin and Copenhagenas “a bit Sinatra-esque” instead of a regular tour. He also confirmed they will have two drummers on stage again as they have on previous tours: “Phil (drummer Selway) is working on it at the moment it’s great for me because I get to check in what each of them are doing, I can wander over and Phil loves it because I can stop hassling him.”Rumours last minute gigs by the band were wide of the mark confirmed Colin who say’s it’s impossible to get the venues. He told the Adam Buxton podcast: “Reality is if you want to start making plans or doi any shows for us you have to give the venues a minimum of a year to a year and a half notice , so if anyone thinks that anyone in Radiohead says they’re gonna do some touring and there are rumours about it – it’s not going to happen because you have that 18 months; post Covid everywhere is sold out. Getting your slot to play is such a long term thing there’s never going to be any last minute announcements.”Radiohead kick off the UK London shows on November 21.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.Article continues below More

    ‘Infectious’ comedy trilogy leaving Netflix in just days despite sequel rumours

    One of the funniest, feel-good film trilogies is only available to stream on Netflix for a few more days despite rumours that a fourth instalment is on the cards11:00, 06 Sep 2025You have just days left to watch one of the most iconic film trilogies of the 21st century on Netflix.The beloved comedy series starring Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Skylar Austin, Elizabeth Banks and Hana Mae Lee was a smash hit with audiences when it was released back in 2012. Pitch Perfect will be leaving the streaming platform on 15 September, so get streaming to catch all three before they’re gone for good.The plot follows an all-girl a cappella group who go head to head against another team from their college in an attempt to bring home the International Collegiate A Cappella Championship.The Barden Bellas attend Barden University and members Aubrey and Chloe try to recruit new members – however, the group’s reputation has been destroyed after one member vomited on stage during a recent tournament.Anna Kendrick stars as the film’s lead(Image: Publicity Picture)The film was released in October 2012 and received positive reviews from fans and critics alike. Over on Rotten Tomatoes a number of film critics have shared their thoughts on the Anna Kendrick fronted flick.One said: “It’s aimed at Glee fans and teenage girls, but the infectious energy will appeal to a wider audience,” while another wrote: “If it looks like the sort of film you’d like, you’ll probably love it. Even if it isn’t the sort of film you would normally watch, it’s good enough that you’ll likely still find much to enjoy.”Pitch Perfect was Rebel Wilson’s breakout role(Image: PA)Another had high praise, stating: “One of the best comedies ever made.” A second added: “Pitch Perfect combines the tuneful underdog triumphs of Glee with the sassiness of Bridesmaids to produce a sweet-sounding, wickedly funny movie.”A third wrote: “Silly, predictable but funny as hell with an infectiously catchy soundtrack, Pitch Perfect is a ray of cinematic sunshine.”Pitch Perfect 2 and 3 are also leaving Netflix(Image: UNIVERSAL PICTURES)The film has two sequels, Pitch Perfect 2 and Pitch Perfect 3, and there has been talk of another instalment. Rebel Wilson addressed the claims back in June and spoke to Today about the idea.She said: “I don’t know, I have a feeling it could shoot next year but we’ll see.”Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

    Ozzy Osbourne’s final wish has wife Sharon torn with heart-wrenching dilemma

    Sharon Osbourne is said to be struggling with a “heartbreaking” dilemma following the death of her husband, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who died on July 22Connor McCrory US News Producer and Carly Hacon Showbiz Reporter10:42, 06 Sep 2025Kelly, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne(Image: AFP via Getty Images)Sharon Osbourne is wrestling with a heart-wrenching predicament following the passing of her husband, Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne, who succumbed to Parkinson’s disease on July 22.In accordance with Ozzy’s final wish, he was interred beneath a crabapple tree in the garden of their bucolic Buckinghamshire estate.In his 2009 autobiography I Am Ozzy, the singer, who performed his last gig at Villa Park, humorously quipped, “So the kids can make wine out of me and get p***** out of their heads.”He reiterated this request to Sharon multiple times, reportedly saying, “Don’t cremate me, whatever you do. I want to be put in the ground… with a tree planted over my head.”Sharon is torn over the dilemmaWhile his burial honoured this wish, it has left Sharon, aged 72, in a state of emotional turmoil, reports the Mirror US.With their three children, Aimee, Jack and Kelly, and five grandchildren all back in Los Angeles, Sharon finds herself grieving alone in the UK.A close family friend told the Daily Mail: “Sharon is heartbroken. She thought she would be caring for Ozzy longer in the UK. It’s where she saw her future. Now she’s a widow, lonely and grieving.”Their home, Welders House, had undergone extensive renovations to cater to Ozzy’s deteriorating health.Improvements included a rehabilitation wing, an exercise and art studio, enhanced security, and a spa-like wellness area.The family had planned to return to England in 2024 for a reality series titled Home to Roost, which would chronicle their transition.Ozzy’s health deteriorated rapidly, with the relocation occurring mere weeks prior to his death.Sharon is looking increasingly fragile(Image: Anadolu via Getty Images)The iconic rock legend passed away peacefully at his residence, shortly after a poignant reunion with his Black Sabbath colleagues Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for a final show in Birmingham.His funeral service on July 30 featured a public cortege through the city streets followed by a private interment with close family and musician friends in attendance.Medical documentation lists his causes of death as cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and complications from Parkinson’s disease.Although Ozzy had been fighting illness following his 2019 Parkinson’s diagnosis, his passing still came as a shock.”She’s devastated,” revealed one close friend. “But she needs to be with the family who love her.”Article continues belowCompounding worries, pals say Sharon looks increasingly fragile. She had previously confessed to shedding more than three stone through using the slimming medication Ozempic.”She’s as thin as Kylie Minogue now,” confided an insider. “She really needs to eat.
