The Late Late Show with James Corden, review: Slick operation combines British wit with American polish

David Benedict No one saw it coming. Reworking Goldoni’s 18th-century comedy “A Servant of Two Masters” didn’t look like the recipe for a transatlantic comedy smash, but that was before Richard Bean turned it into the sensational “One Man, Two Guvnors.” Now teaming up with co-writer Oliver Chris (who played James Corden’s dashing-but-dim master in the earlier hit), Bean is back with another revamp of an old play and London’s National Theatre has high hopes.

Adele broke down in tears on several occasions as she took to the stage in London’s Hyde Park for a long-awaited gig.  The singer, 34, stunned in a black floor-length gown as she took to the stage to perform her hits at American Express present BST Hyde Park in London on Friday. Adele’s hair was swept up in a stylish beehive with a few delicate strands framing her face, and wore statement gold spiked hoop earrings.

Alison Hammond gifted long-time West Ham fan James Corden ‘the nicest gift’ ever: a seat from the football team’s former stadium Upton Park.

Gifting him with a welcome home present, Alison handed James ‘an actual seat from the stands of his beloved West Ham’s former stadium,’ as the Gavin and Stacey star’s jaw dropped in excitement and shock.
