Romance

Broadway is about to get a whole lot more romantic; it's been announced that The Notebook, AKA the most heart-string tugging film/novel of all time, is coming to the stage as a musical.

Singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson shared the news on NBC's Today Show yesterday, and revealed that she has been developing the musical for over a year.

The 2004 movie starred Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, and sparked a real-life love story between the pair as well as love blossoming on-screen.

The original novel was published in 1996 and shot Sparks to fame.

A producer on the NBC family drama This Is Us is writing the show, Bekah Brunstetter, and it will be a collaboration between her and Nicholas Sparks; the novel's original author.

The writer posted his delight on Twitter, saying that he is "thrilled" to be part of the team who will adapt the story to the stage.

The story follows a young couple in the 1940s who fall hopelessly and passionately in love, but are forced to part ways after turbulence between her family and Gosling's character.

They later reconnect, and the tale flicks between the 20th century and modern day, where the protagonist chronicles how time has impacted their lives in a tragic way.

Despite mediocre initial film reviews, the movie became a smash hit which has remained iconic in the romantic-drama genre.

Gosling and McAdams were relatively unknown at the time of filming, but their chemistry was undeniably. The pair met on set, and dated from 2005 until 2007, and again in 2008 before splitting up for good.

Casting news has yet to be revealed, and no opening date has been announced for the Broadway show.

More recently, movies such as Pretty Woman and Mean Girls have been adapted to the stage.

We can't wait to see the show, it's sure to bring the romance.

So back in February of 2018, which seems like decades ago at this stage, Heidi Klum declared that she'd be down to f*ck with none other than DRAKE himself.

Imagine that combo? We'd be here for it. Unfortunately, Drake texted her "a week too late", and she ended up ghosting him.

She has now apologised for her Casper move, and it's such a gas. She's the gift that keeps on giving.

Back when Klum was single, she went on The Ellen Show and played a game of 'Who'd You Rather' with Queen Ellen DeGeneres herself.

It was revealed that the Canadian rap god reached out to the 45-year-old model, but she didn't reply. 'But why??' I hear you ask.

Well, she'd met her now-fiancé; Tom Kaulitz. Case closed.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I SAID YES 

A post shared by Heidi Klum (@heidiklum) on

She spoke to Ellen yesterday about her now-infamous ghosting of Drake, saying;

“I said I’m sorry, because I know I made a huge wave after I was here, and he just made that face,” Klum imitated the emoji which the 32-year-old rapper replied with.

Ellen, being the sh*t-stirring wizard that she is, responded, “That’s all he responded? Oh, he’s mad.”

Poor Drakey. You snooze, you lose, henny.

The Strictly lovebirds are looking forward to being reunited in the New Year.

It seems that the dancing duo are missing one another, as they spent Christmas apart.

However, they won't have to wait much longer to be reunited, if Dianne's Instagram is anything to go by.

The Strictly babe uploaded a throwback pic to the Strictly finals.

Dianne simply captioned the snap: "soon", which could mean they will be ringing in the New Year together – ADORABLE.

Earlier this week, Dianne opened up about Joe and their relationship for the first time – and it's so mushy but amazing.

After departing for Australia to spend the festive period with her family, the Strictly dancer shared a MEGA cute picture of the couple. 

The caption of the picture read: "When I was sat on Santa Suggs lap he asked me what I wanted for Christmas? My response was (apart from a tamagotchi ) I have everything that makes me happy already." 

"I honestly feel so so lucky I’m in Australia with the best family a girl could wish for …and I have a very special somebody waiting for me when I return to the UK," she added.

Anyone else feeling single AF right now? Just me?

Nah, but honestly, we couldn't be happier for the pair and they're just so cute together.

We couldn't be more delighted for Demi, as she seems to be all loved up.

The lucky fella is none other than the fashion designer, Henry Levy.

Now, it looks as if they've taken their relationship up a gear, becoming Instagram official.

Flaunting the new romance, Henry posted an Instagram story of the couple on a private jet.

In the clip, Demi leans over for a kiss, which is met by Henry and they both smile as they pull away – ADORABLE.

Although the clip was on Henry's private Instagram page, an eagle-eyed fan account caught the action, and share it on Twitter.

We are thrilled to see Demi looking so well and couldn't be happier if she has found love.

Her new man is behind the fashion brand Enfants Riches Deprime, which he started in 2012.

The brand is popular with famous faces like Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Travis Scott.

They're the teen romance films we are all (secretly) obsessed with.

Whether or not you admit to loving this genre, there's good news.

Netflix has confirmed there will be a sequel to the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before and we CAN'T WAIT.

If you haven't seen the first movie – GO and watch it.

But it's based off an award-winning novel written by Jenny Han and follows actress Lana Condor as a secondary student Lara Jean.

Instead of confronting the lads she likes, Lara writes love letters to the boys she's been eyeing up and hides them away in a teal box in her wardrobe.

Cue the little brat of a sister snooping in her room and sending the private confessions to the boys they're addressed to.

A whole lot of drama occurs which leads to an arrangement being made with a boy called Peter.

Peter and Lara agree to pretend to be each other's partners.

I am sure you can guess what happens from here, but the predictable plot still gets us every time.

The second instalment of the books is titled P.S. I Still Love You, which is already giving us feels.

WE CAN'T WAIT.

Over the last couple of weeks, rumours around Joe and Dianne being a couple were swirling.

The looks of love were hard to hide between the dancing duo, and the public LOVED the idea of them being together.  

Although they didn't claim the top spot – they did take most of the attention after the Strictly final.

Somewhat overshadowing the winners, Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton was confirmation that Joe and Dianne were, in fact, a couple.

To the nation's delight, our underdog hadn't walked away from the competition empty-handed.

He mightn't have claimed the trophy but Joe did find love.

But could he have waited at least a week to give everyone the much-needed nod that they had fallen for each other? – Yes.

It would have given Stacey her time to truly shine and full attention would have remained on her.

Don't get me wrong, I am delighted that Joe and Dianne are a couple.

They look so natural around each other that it was almost expected by 90 percent of the audience.

Just the timing of the announcement could have been made public down the line.

Joe took to Instagram and posted a sweet picture of the pair, confirming their romance.

He adorably wrote: "I may not have won the glitter ball, but I’ve won something a million times more special."

I must admit that he's an actual dote and they're a lovely couple.

Just in hindsight they might regret confirming their news so soon after Stacey's win.

Our hearts are breaking. 

One Strictly couple, rumoured to be in the throes of a passionate love affair, have poured cold water all over the whispers.

Yes, Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell have addressed rumours that they are an item. 

While their amazing chemistry is what's been sparking rumours of a romance, it is something that Joe strongly denies. 

Boooo!

The 27-year-old said,  "There's nothing in it – if we were dating everyone would see it.''

He continued, "Rumours like this have gone on throughout the show's history. I understood before signing up that it's something people really get into."

It seems that people speculating about his love life is not something the YouTube vlogger is a big fan of. 

He said, ''Obviously it's a bit weird to be drawn into that stuff for me. It's not nice – it's something you can't control."

He joked, "Dianne's around my house, I can't believe it. That can only mean one thing, Dianne's around my house for a YouTube video, it must mean we're going out with each other."

Dianne added, "It must mean that. Hello, boyfriend."

Well, we better not rush out to buy our hats any time soon.

It appears to be official – we have a new celebrity romance to get excited about.

And it's none other than the ride that is Channing tatum and pop superstar Jessie J.

An unlikely relationship perhaps, but one that seems to be going from strength to strength.

The 30-year-old took to Instagram to post about Channing's Magic Mike show in London. 

She posted a snap of the saucy stage production with the caption, ''Congratulations @channingtatum What a show…. Ladies and Gentlemen you don't want to miss this."

The 38-year-old actor is single since he announced his separation from wife Jenna Dewan

The couple had been together for 12 years after meeting on the set of Step Up in 2006, and marrying three years later. 

At the time, they stated that, "We’re living in an incredible moment in time, but it’s also a time where truth can easily get distorted into 'alternative facts' so we want to share the truth so you know that if you didn't read it here then it’s most certainly fiction.''

"We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together.”

Well, it seems that Channing has found love again – and we wish him and Jessie all the best.

Let's not lie to ourselves, we are all GUSHING over the whirlwind romance that's sweeping Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra off their feet.

They are both stunning to look at, and no one can deny how in love they are. Since meeting at the Met Gala in 2017, it's been no secret that they enjoy each other's company, to say the least.

Now that they're engaged, and Priyanka has that WHOPPER of a Tiffany & Co. ring on her finger, we feel it's time to learn how their relationship really started.

Turns out, Nick Jonas sent her a message before their MET Gala date in 2017 simply saying "I think we should connect." Very LinkedIn of you, Nick.

When the duo attended the elite fashion event in May 2017, they were invited to sit at the Ralph Lauren table together, but weren't an item yet.

 They weren’t actually official until May 2018 but by July, the duo were engaged to be married.

So let's get the dirt, how did he go from being her Fashion Forward date to future hubby? Following Chopra's NYC bridal shower, she gave us a few deets on their romance and we are LAPPING it up.

"Just being in the whole situation of finding somebody who can be a partner to you in so many more ways than one is amazing, so yes I'm very excited," she mused. Ugh, they're too cute.

In a separate interview, when asked about her singer fiancé, Priyanka gushed that the key to their relationship is all about a dose of Aretha Franklin's fave thing: respect.

"By that, I don't mean makes coffee for you, not that," she clarified. "But someone who respects the hard work you put into your life."

The bride elaborates that, for her, a respectful person is someone "who respects that if his work is important, so is yours. Or if he makes choices that are important to him, so is your opinion. That's respect, and that's incredible to have."

Their relationship sounds hella healthy to us. We're so happy for them, but where's our formal text message and Met Gala 2019 date?

If you're anything like us, you usually prefer the book to the movie – take Harry PotterTo Kill A Mockingbird, The Shining, to name a few. 

So brace yourself for August as the box office is getting ready to welcome a whole wave of book adaptions for books becoming movies and TV shows.

And if you're a fan of darker fare like thrillers, horrors, crime and sci-fi then get excited because most of these books are along those lines however, there are a few lighter stories in the mix as well. 

So pull up a chair and get stuck into whichever book takes your fancy…

Crazy Rich Asians

Crazy Rich Asians is the first in a trilogy so if you just can't get enough of Rachel and Nick, jump into China Rich Girlfriend and Rich People Problems. It hits screen on August 15th. 

Three Seconds

Crime lovers, listen up. Scandinavian crime lovers, really listen up. This book scooped Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year by the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers in 2009. 

Rosamund Pike and Clive Owen star in the movie version so we have a feeling it's going to be a hit. 

We The Animals

The book, centred on three wild brothers who live a rough childhood in rural upstate 1980's New York. has already created quite a buzz. 

Try get it read before August 17th, when the movie will arrive in cinemas to (more than likely) blow your mind.  

Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror

This science-fiction horror novel by Steve Alten was first published in July 1997.

Plot: there is a prehistoric shark that's thought to be extinct. But….it isn't. 

The Darkest Minds

Everyone loves a good dystopian novel, right?

It's the whole group-of-teens-on-the-run-from-the-government thing and the movie adaptation will star Mandy Moore, who is amazing in everything she does.

If you're looking to be terrified then look no further.

The setting for this supernatural gothic drama horror ghost story (yes, it is all of that) is a dilapidated mansion in 1940's England.

It looks so, so good – you'll easily finish the book before it's August 1st release, starring Domhnall Gleeson and Will Poulter. 

To All The Boys I've Loved Before

This one is gaining so much attention already – and it's all down to Netflix.
