Lakers rally late, then hold off Kings for another win
SACRAMENTO — The test was obvious the minute the Lakers got their schedule for the 2024-25 season. They would make one trip to Sacramento to face the Kings twice, two games against a team whose pace and physicality have been the difference in multiple years of dominance against over the Lakers. If, somehow, the Lakers were […]

From Oasis reunion to Molly-Mae & Tommy Fury’s split – we reveal best and worst of 2024’s epic year in showbiz
FORGET the Grammys, these are the gongs that matter: The Biz on Sunday Awards for 2024! It’s a been an epic year in showbiz, and today we unveil the best (and worst) of it.
From the Oasis reunion to Molly-Mae and Tommy’s split, we have it all covered. And the winners are . . .
PERFORMER OF THE YEAR
SABRINA CARPENTER
SHE was catapulted into the limelight after joining Taylor Swift on her record-breaking Eras Tour.
And Sabrina Carpenter appeared to have learned from the best when she kicked off her Short n’ Sweet gigs in September.
The US pop star made history in the UK as the first woman to spend 19 weeks at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with her hits, Espresso, Please Please Please and Taste.
With her cheeky outros, stunning outfits and playful sense of humour, I can’t wait to see her in London.
SHOCK REUNION
OASIS
AFTER 15 years, Noel and Liam Gallagher put their long-running feud behind them.
The Oasis hitmakers, whose debut album Definitely Maybe turned 30 this year, announced they would reunite for a series of comeback gigs next summer – raking in an eye-watering £400million.
Liam first sparked a frenzy online over the band’s reunion, tweeting: “I never did like that word former.”
Hundreds of fans sat in online queues to get their hands on tickets, with the gigs selling out in a matter of hours.
I can’t wait to see them back on stage again – but let’s hope they don’t have another fall-out in the meantime.
‘NO ONE SAW THAT ONE COMING’ SPLIT
MOLLY-MAE HAGUE & TOMMY FURY
MEETING on Love Island in 2019, Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury were the couple that proved finding romance on a reality show could be done.
The influencer and boxer seemed rock-solid after having daughter Bambi in January 2023 and were due to marry.
But in August the pair confirmed their split on Instagram in separate posts with Molly-Mae regretfully describing how she “never imagined our story would end this way.”
Next month fans will get a peek at her life in Amazon Prime documen-tary Molly-Mae: Behind It All, which promises to be revealing.
Whatever your opinion of her, this will definitely make for an interesting watch.
HOT NEW COUPLE
DUA LIPA AND CALLUM TURNER
WHEN it comes to power couples, few come close to Dua Lipa and Callum Turner.
The Houdini hitmaker sparked romance rumours with the British actor in January – and the pair confirmed their relationship later that month with a kiss in Los Angeles.
Dua and Callum have fast become our fave pair after they were spotted partying into the early hours at Glastonbury following her set on the Pyramid Stage.
I know she sang about New Rules, but perhaps there will be a new ring in 2025?
MOMENT OF THE YEAR
CELINE DION
MILLIONS were moved to tears when Celine Dion stepped on stage for the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
The Canadian superstar sang Hymne a L’amour (Hymn to Love) from the balcony of the Eiffel Tower for the first time since being diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome which risked silencing her magical voice forever.
But dressed in a shimmering Dior gown, Celine delivered a spine-tingling performance for a breath-taking come-back that even she could not have predicted.
COMEBACK QUEEN
COLEEN ROONEY
SHE triumphed in court during the Wagatha Christie trial.
And Coleen Rooney was truly our Queen Of The Jungle after she bagged the biggest deal in ITV’s history for I’m A Celebrity…
The wife of ex-footie ace Wayne Rooney sailed through the bushtucker trials to became the standout star.
Courageous, kind and not to be messed with, she’s a top woman.
FALL OF THE YEAR
JERMAINE JENAS
JERMAINE JENAS was the front-runner to one day replace Gary Lineker on Match Of The Day.
But in August, The Sun revealed how the married BBC presenter was taken off air after complaints about “inappropriate behaviour” and later fired.
Following the revelations, he told The Sun: “I am ashamed, and I am deeply sorry.
“I have let myself down, my family, friends and colleagues down, and I owe everyone an apology – especially the women with whom I was messaging. I am so, so sorry.”
LIAM & NOÉL
LIAM GALLAGHER is celebrating the year in which the OASIS reunion was announced by having a HUGE boozy family Christmas – but bro Noel is doing his own thing.
I can reveal the superstar singer is hosting Christmas Day at home with fiancee Debbie Gwyther and is flying his mum Peggy over from Ireland as his top VIP, with elder brother Paul joining in the shenanigans.
After announcing on X last week “I’m officially on the ps”, Liam will have a boozy menu of frozen margaritas, espresso martinis and his fave rose vino on tap — and he might even have a go at stuffing the turkey.
A source tells me: “Liam wanted to go all-out for Christmas so he invited the whole family. His mum Peggy is coming, as is his brother Paul. “Liam and Debbie have decorated the house and are putting on a six-course meal as well as cocktails and games. It’s going to be immense.”
Meanwhile, Noel is celebrating with his own family as he prepares for next year’s epic Live ’25 tour which includes 14 dates in the UK and Ireland. ‘Stain on society’ He’s had a tricky few years after divorcing wife Sara MacDonald but is now in a relationship with high society events planner Sally Mash.
Noel has never been a fan of Christmas, once saying: “The entire fing period is a stain on society — I fg hate it with a passion.”
Thankfully Liam has got enough Christmas cheer to make up for his brother’s Scrooge-like attitude and is still on a high after his album with legendary Stone Roses guitarist John Squire went straight to number one in March.
So it seems only fitting that the rock and roll frontman is seeing out 2024 with a bang.
FAB NIGHT WITH MACCA
THE last night of Macca’s Got Back tour went with such a bang, it even startled the rock legend. The explosions during Live And Let Die were so fierce, the ex-Beatle actually winced and said: “Too loud!”
Kicking off his three-hour, 36-song show with A Hard Day’s Night, Macca’s voice rarely wavered as he touched on all sides of his astonishing, 60-odd-year career, from teenage band The Quarrymen to The Beatles, Wings and beyond.
Almost everything you wanted was there – Drive My Car, Lady Madonna, Hey Jude, Let It Be, Jet and Band On The Run. Even ones that used to get some stick – Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Let ’Em In – have taken on classic status.
Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood played guitar on Get Back, and there was even a Fab Four reunion of sorts.
Ringo Starr came on to wild applause (and a kiss from Macca) to drum on Sgt Pepper and Helter Skelter, and Paul “duetted” with film footage of John Lennon on I’ve Got A Feeling.
This was a night when grown men cried hearing the songs that soundtracked their lives played by the man who wrote them.
It may or may not be Macca’s final tour, but if Thursday night was The End, it couldn’t have been more Fab.

James Corden hailed a ‘hero’ after rushing to aid of woman after accident during Christmas shopping
JAMES Corden has been hailed a “hero” after rushing to the aid of a woman who broke her arm while Christmas shopping.
The TV host, 46, comforted the injured shopper after she had a nasty fall on Bond Street in London’s West End on Friday evening.
He phoned for an ambulance but was told one wouldn’t be available for an hour, so hailed a black cab to take her to the nearest A&E.
A source told The Sun: “There was a group of people standing around trying to help this woman who had fallen and broken her arm badly while out shopping with her family.
“One guy kept asking what he could do to help and everyone was quite taken aback when they realised it was James Corden.
“He was the one who rang 999 but the operator told him they couldn’t get an ambulance out for at least 60 minutes.
“He said he knew where the nearest A&E was, so he flagged down a cab to take the woman to hospital so she wouldn’t have to wait around in the cold in pain.
“He was an absolute hero. He just wanted to help her – it was a really nice gesture.”
The actor, who ditched LA to move back to London with his wife Julia Carey and three children earlier this year, stayed at the scene until the wounded shopper was safely on her way to hospital in the taxi.
Another passerby lent her skills as a nurse by fashioning a makeshift sling out of a scarf to support the woman’s arm.
A source close to James described the medic’s help as “invaluable”.
The former Late Late Show host is currently promoting the final ever episode of Gavin and Stacey, which airs on BBC One at 9pm on Christmas Day.
He grew visibly emotional as he addressed the ending of the festive special while appearing on The Graham Norton Show with co-star and creator Ruth Jones, 58, earlier this week.
James described filming the last scenes as a “very special day”.
He said: “We really felt like we wanted everybody to be there at the very, very end, and it was just a lot of tears…It’s been a very, very emotional thing to do, really.”
