Aaron Taylor-Johnson reportedly offered James Bond role

James Bond has reportedly been offered to Aaron Taylor-Johnson.Following years of speculation surrounding who would portray the iconic secret agent, after Daniel Craig’s exit from the franchise in 2021, it has now been confirmed who is set to take on the prestigious role in the next instalment.Kick-Ass and Tenet star Taylor-Johnson has been selected to play the next Bond, with EON Productions having reportedly offered him the job.According to The Sun, a source has said: “Bond is Aaron’s job, should he wish to accept it. The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back.”The source continued: “As far as EON is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”Taylor-Johnson was just one of the actors being rumoured as possible 007s, with many hoping for Idris Elba to take the role, and Henry Cavill being a strong contender.Back in August, the Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging star spoke with Esquire about the possibility of the role, but his response remained vague: “I just focus on the things I can have in my hands right now.

Shake, shake, shake – Taylor Swift’s LA fans created earthquake-like tremors on ‘Eras Tour’

Taylor Swift‘s fans in Los Angeles caused earthquake-like tremors when watching the singer perform live at the SoFi Stadium last summer.The ‘Midnights’ pop star played six concerts at the huge Inglewood venue in August 2023 as part of the North American leg of her ongoing ‘Eras Tour’.According to a new study from Caltech and UCLA researchers, the third night of Swift’s stint at the stadium (August 5) saw signals from the show register on seismic network stations within approximately 5.6 miles of the SoFi, and on “strong-motion sensors placed near and inside the stadium” (via the LA Times).The report – titled ‘Shake to the Beat: Exploring the Seismic Signals and Stadium Response of Concerts and Music Fans’ – said the researchers were able to identify “the seismic signature” of each track performed at the three-hour-plus gig.Additionally, it found that the seismic activity was most likely a result of the “dancing and jumping motions” of Swift’s LA crowd, rather than the beats and reverberations from the venue’s PA.Researchers calculated each song’s “radiated energy” in terms of its equal earthquake magnitude. The performance of Swift’s 2014 single ‘Shake It Off’ resulted in the “largest local magnitude of 0.851”, according to the study.The singer’s rendition of ‘Love Story’ resulted in a notable amplitude too (0.800).

Noel Gallagher once bought one of Peter Green’s Gibson Les Paul guitars – but erased Green’s signature from it

Noel Gallagher once bought one of Peter Green’s Les Paul guitars, and intentionally removed the signature from it to get back at a rude employee.The late rock icon and Fleetwood Mac founder was the owner of countless high-profile guitars, including the famous ‘Greeny’ – which was later passed to Gary Moore, who handed it on to Metallica’s Kirk Hammett.However, that particular model was just one of a number of guitars that were sold after his death, and now The Coral guitarist Bill Ryder-Jones has revealed the story behind one that was modified by Oasis legend Noel Gallagher.Speaking with Guitar World, he recalled how he was given the Les Paul by Gallagher in 2006 when The Coral were recording an album in his studio, but was initially unaware of the rich history behind the model.Recalling how the Britpop icon got his hands on the guitar, Ryder-Jones recalled how Gallagher erased the Peter Green signature from the body out of spite of a rude shop owner.“He didn’t know who Noel was; he somehow had not heard of Oasis,” he explained. “But Noel saw one of the guitars at the top of the shelf, like behind the counter, and said, ‘Can I have a go with that Les Paul?’“And the guy behind the counter goes, ‘Erm, you do know that was Peter Green’s, and it’s signed by Peter Green, right?’ He reluctantly got it down and gave it to Noel.”From there, Gallagher, who was apparently irked by the shop owner’s attitude, decided to get back at him and “spat on his T-shirt and rubbed off the signature.”“He purposefully rubbed off Peter Green’s signature to make a point to the guy in the guitar shop,” Ryder-Jones continued.

However, these hopes were soon dashed when the official line-up dropped last week, confirming that the mammoth slot has been filled by Shania Twain.Now, Scary Spice has coyly refuelled fan’s hopes and stated that people shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the idea of a Glastonbury slot being on the cards.“You don’t know that we’re not doing Glastonbury,” she said during a new interview with Hits Radio Breakfast Show (via The International News).“We are talking about doing something together – I can’t say what it is ‘cos I always get into trouble,” she added.

Farm shop footage of Kate Middleton should put an end to conspiracy theories: palace sources

Kate Middleton’s visit to a local farm shop should be enough to quell wild conspiracy theories about her health, according to Palace sources.A “happy, healthy, and relaxed” Princess of Wales, 42, joined her husband Prince William for a quick visit to a farm shop in Windsor over the weekend.Video footage and images of the royal obtained by The Sun emerged on Monday and showed the mom of three looking well as she and the Prince of Wales, 41, bought some fresh produce during the outing.While Kensington Palace has not yet commented on the footage, royal sources tell The Post that the sighting should provide enough comfort to quash ongoing conspiracy theories once and for all.Middleton looked “positive and healthy,” an insider exclusively told The Post, adding that the sighting “should hopefully be enough to put an end to the outside noise about her recovery.”Another Palace source told the Telegraph, “Finally everyone can calm down.”It comes as royal officials are reportedly accelerating plans for Middleton’s return to the royal fold now that she’s recovering well.“The teams are working round the clock to devise the Princess of Wales’s back-to-work plan after weeks of immense pressure,” a source told the Mirror of the Princess’s return.“They all know that the world will be watching after weeks of heightened speculation and often outlandish commentary on social media.”Since returning home from her two-week stint at the hospital, Middleton has remained largely out of the limelight, opting to recover in her home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor.In her absence from public life, several conspiracy theories have taken root, which only intensified after she posted a heavily edited UK Mother’s Day image that received a “kill notice”
