to the Mail Online Saturday, Aspel, 90, revealed behind-the-scenes details about the time the “Pretty Woman” star appeared on his show in 1989. “When Richard Gere came on the show, I introduced him and at the end I said, and ‘he’s done this, he’s done that,’ and I used the phrase ‘sex symbol,'” said Aspel. “After the interview, we had a phone call from his agent saying if I didn’t remove the sex symbol thing, they were going to take it up with their lawyer.”According to Aspel, the “Chicago” star did not want to “be known as a sex symbol.” “It was very odd,” continued the former TV host.

Paramore celebrated the 14th anniversary of their third album ‘Brand New Eyes’ this week, but two former members of the band were cropped out of a photo of them from the time of its release.“HBD, BNE,” the group wrote via X, formerly known as Twitter, but the accompanying photo featured only vocalist Hayley Williams, drummer Zac Farro and guitarist Taylor York.Guitarist Josh Farro and bassist Jeremy Davis also played on the band’s 2009 album, and it was the last to feature the Farro brothers before they left the band under rather acrimonious circumstances in 2010. In a blog post at the time, Josh said that the rest of the band was treated differently than Williams and were “riding on the coattails of ‘Hayley’s dream.’”Farro said back in 2016 that he and the band were back on speaking terms but ruled out ever making a return.

In a reflective caption, the Canadian wrote, “If I had to live my life again I’d make the same mistakes only sooner.”A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi)In a two-and-a-half-star review, NME wrote that ‘Nothing Was The Same’ was “bizarre” as Drake “continues to waste our time with his first-world problems.” Eve Barlow wrote: Drizzy’s candid lyrics about battered egos and insecure relationships were refreshing early on in his career, but the persona is wearing thin as he recalls how rich his melancholy has made him… How long can a man trade on being blue if he’s living the dream.”Since ‘Nothing Was The Same’, Drake has released a further four solo albums; 2016’s ‘Views’, 2018’s ‘Scorpion’, 2021’s ‘Certified Lover Boy’ and 2022’s ‘Honestly, Nevermind’.
