Marianne Faithfull put in an emotional performance live on the 'Che Tempo Che Fa' television show in Milan on Sunday evening (26.10.14). The 67-year-old singer-songwriter appeared on the programme to promote her new album 'Give My Love to London' which...

Britain's Queen Elizabeth reportedly once attended a seance to try and contact her late father. The monarch, her mother, the late Queen Mother, her husband Prince Philip, cousin Princess Alexandra and aunt Princess Marina met with medium Lilian Bailey...

Britain's Queen Elizabeth has poked fun at Mike Tindall's appearance.
The monarch met Irish rugby player Brian O'Driscoll at a formal dinner at Windsor Castle and couldn't resist a joke at the expense of her grandson-in-law, another rugby star who has broken his nose eight times playing the sport.
Brian told Radio 4's 'Today' programme: "Myself and my wife were invited to Windsor Castle for a dinner for the president of Ireland.
"The queen and the president of Ireland were there to meet everyone and greet them into the banquet hall, so I actually ended up being last in the queue and I was introduced as Brian O'Driscoll, ex rugby captain of Ireland.
"And the queen said 'Oh yes, you're retiring soon.' I was shocked at her knowledge. She obviously had someone whispering in her ear.
"She said, 'You look as if you've come out of it relatively unscathed. Your nose looks in better condition than Mike Tindall's does. And I just thought, how unbelievably sharp of her. And I said to her, 'Yes, thankfully it is.' "
Mike - who first broke his nose aged just five in a funfair accident - famously revealed in 2011 his wife Zara Philips' mother Princess Anne had asked whether he would have corrective surgery before they married, but he refused, saying: "It's part of me."
And when his spouse was pregnant with their daughter Mia, now eight months, the sportsman joked he hoped their baby didn't inherit his nose.
He tweeted: "Hopefully he/she won't have my nose."

Shakira is releasing her own range of toys.
The pregnant singer - who also has 21-month-old son Milan with boyfriend Gerard Pique - has teamed up with Fisher-Price on the First Steps collection of baby products, and has co-developed six items, including a bouncer which plays music, alphabet blocks and a musical soccer ball.
Shakira said in a statement: "I saw how important developmental milestones are and how toys can help babies reach them -- including with my own son.
"I wanted to design a line of toys that stimulated development in the crucial early stages of life, the stages in which learning can be achieved through supervised play, fostering the development of psychological, social and motor skills."
The items will go on sale next month and all proceeds will go towards Shakira's Barefoot Foundation, which helps provide education and nutrition to disadvantaged children in her native Colombia.
Geoff Walker, executive vice president of the Fisher-Price Global Brands Team, said the 'Hips Don't Lie' hitmaker had approached the company herself about collaborating and if the range is a success, they will be open to further celebrity lines in the future.
He said: "It's about finding an authentic mom that is relevant to the millennial crowd."
As part of the venture, Shakira will also star in a 12-part web series for the company, and some of the three to five minute-long episodes will feature her son.

Kanye West turned down a $500,000-per-show deal for a Las Vegas residency.
The 'Stronger' hitmaker - who has 16-month-old daughter North with wife Kim Kardashian West - could have been the highest-earning entertainer in the gambling capital, but shunned an approach by The Axis at Planet Hollywood, who offered him a huge deal for just nine days work.
According to TMZ, the venue wanted Kanye to perform three shows a week for three weeks but he turned them down, though it is not clear why.
The staggering offer would have put him ahead of Vegas' current top earners, Celine Dion, who earns $476,000 per show, Britney Spears, who is believed to make slightly less with $475,000 and Jennifer Lopez, who has just been offered a $350,000-per-gig contract with The Axis.
If Kanye had agreed the deal, one person who would have been in the audience is his daughter as Kim recently revealed the youngster is a fan of the 'Bound 2' star's music.
She said: "I put on these lullabies for her. I put on pop music, Kanye's music. I have a whole iPod with everything all set up for her.
"Every day, from when we wake up, there's music on. When we're playing, when we go on our walk, every day there's music on. I have a little Beats speaker, so we listen to music loud on our walks."

Taylor Swift would rather travel the world than embark on another "trivial dating adventure".
The 24-year-old star has admitted she isn't bothered about settling down in the near future, following failed romances with Harry Styles, John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal, and she has now set her sights on seeing plenty of the globe before she finally meets Mr. Right.
The blonde beauty - who completed her 86-date 'Red' world tour in June, which saw her visit Indonesia, Singapore and Australia among several other countries - said: "I want to work hard. I want to make music I'm proud of. I want to travel the world. I want to have adventures. I want to be the best friend I can be. And I think sometimes your priorities change.
"I have so much love in my life without having a love affair in my life.
"I think it's important to find romance and magic in your life without there being a relationship that constitutes that.
"You can define your life and you can create all the things you thought you wanted in a relationship out of a relationship.
"Things like happiness and spontaneity and excitement. All of that doesn't have to be tied to the idea of a relationship.
"I'm at the place in my life where I'm 24, I'm not really willing to compromise my happiness for some trivial dating adventure.
"I don't see that as something I'm interested in right now."
The 'Out of the Woods' hitmaker - who has just released her fifth studio album, '1989' - has admitted she is enjoying spending time with her famous friends, who include Lena Dunham, Ed Sheeran and Lorde, who has inspired her to wear black nail varnish.
Taylor added to The Sun newspaper: "She's introduced me to bands I wouldn't have known about and I now wear black nail polish.
"She will rock a dress now and has baked things since knowing me."
Despite being seven years older than the 17-year-old singer/songwriter the pair have forged a good friendship, and Taylor admits she would've loved to have had someone like herself to help her out when she was coming up through the music industry ranks.
She explained: "It would have been nice to have someone who was older to be friends with."

J.B. Gill has been scouring prospectuses of prestigious schools for his one-month-old son to go to.
The singer-turned-farmer and his wife Chloe welcomed their first child, Ace, into the world last month and as well as already eyeing up potential education establishments for his child, the 27-year-old star is hoping the little one will excel at gymnastics and feeding pigs on their farm when he is older.
J.B. said: "The name Ace means 'one who excels' and I want him to be the best he can be in as many things as possible.
"There's already so much I'm looking forward to doing with him, like taking him horse riding and out on the farm feeding the pigs.
"I want him to try gymnastics, running, rugby, football, skiing - all the things we've been fortunate to experience.
"There's so much out there to learn about and I can't wait to show him."
As well as showing Ace his ever-expanding drift of pigs, which J.B. plans to increase to 500 in the near future, the ex-JLS star has already got a job lined up for the youngster - helping to muck out his porkers and picking fresh eggs when his chickens lay them on his farmland in Kent, south east England.
He added to HELLO! magazine: "I'm looking to build up the number of pigs to 25 breeding sows and 500 pigs by the end of next year.
"What I'm really excited about is when Ace is old enough to enjoy the farm, too.
"I can't wait to get him his first pair of willies and get him mucking out the pigs with me.
"We'll send him down to pick fresh eggs for breakfast. It's such a lovely life for a kid here.
"There's so much for him to learn and experience and I can't wait to be part of that - me and my boy."
The full interview with J.B. and Chloe is in this week's HELLO! magazine, out now.

The contestants on the new series of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' will have to eat pig's head as part of a Bushtucker Trial.
Show bosses are upping the ante for the eating trial this year and as well as kangaroo penis, turkey testicles, fish eyes and live witchetty grubs the menu will include the sick-inducing swine snack.
Pig's head has already been tried out on the German version of the reality series, and contestant Jochen Bendel insists the dish didn't taste as bad as it looks.
He said: "It's tough and flabby but tastes like pork."
Ostrich anus and goat testicles are also set to be served to the stars who get voted to compete in the Bushtucker Trial to win food for their camps.
As well as making that trial more disgusting, bosses are reportedly planning to ration the meals for camp and make the general experience in the Australian jungle even more tough.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: "We're cranking it up a notch. On top of the usual Bushtucker Trials, they will also have to face a lack of food, unpredictable weather and endless hours of pure boredom."
Among the celebrities rumoured to be taking part in this year's show - hosted by Ant and Dec - are presenter Melanie Sykes, TV chef Rustie Lee and 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Gemma Collins.

Sue Johnston is jealous of the costumes which her fellow 'Downton Abbey' stars get to wear.
The former 'Coronation Street' star plays Gladys Denker, a maid for the Crawley family in the ITV period drama, and has confessed that while she enjoyed playing the part, she would love to have tried on the fancy frocks which the privileged family members got to wear.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I did look enviously at the beautiful clothes they had on. I don't mind whether I am 'upstairs' or 'downstairs'. The only difference is you'd have had nicer frocks if you were upstairs."
The 70-year-old actress made her debut on the popular programme on Sunday evening (26.10.14) but despite enjoying an incredible acting career she admits she frets about the roles available to her now she is an older star.
The 'Royle Family' star added: "As you get older, I think the parts you're offered are more interesting, actually - but there are so few, and so many of us. So it always remains tricky."
However, the BAFTA-nominated thespian revealed that she is satisfied with her career progression because she has been able to play a range of characters.
She added: "I feel lucky I haven't been pigeon-holed. And often people don't want to be.
"I feel privileged to have played different things - because it's less boring that way."

The X Factor's' Chloe Jasmine Whichello has dumped Stevi Ritchie following their fling.
The two wannabe pop stars - who met on the show - were revealed to have spent the night together last week, but axed contestant Chloe Jasmine has reportedly grown tired of Stevi's constant stream of sexy snaps and sexual messages to him, and no longer wants anything to do with him.
A friend of Chloe told The Sun newspaper: "Some of the stuff that he is sending is apparently absolutely filthy. But it isn't having the desired effect on Chloe and she's getting sick of him.
"As far as she is concerned it was never a serious romance now she just wants him to stop sexting her, but he's not getting the message."
It was revealed last week that the pair had hooked up following the live show on the Saturday night (18.10.14), despite the fact Chloe has a long-term boyfriend.
However, it seems the blonde-haired model-and-singer quickly grew tired of the 34-year-old crooner, giving him the silent treatment last Saturday night (25.10.14), even though they had agreed to meet up.
The source remarked: "It was a big disappointment for Stevi. Her enthusiasm seems to have seriously waned."

Kate Ford was caught up in a bitter row between her friend, his ex-partner and his current girlfriend last Friday (24.10.14).
The 'Coronation Street' actress got embroiled in the argument which started after her friend Paul came to her house to collect his six-year-old son after a play date with the star's own boy and stayed for a drink.
His decision to stay resulted in his girlfriend coming to Kate's house 30 minutes later to demand to know what he was doing and why he was late, sparking an argument between the couple which ended up in the street, resulting in the police being called.
Kate - who plays bitchy Weatherfield character Tracy Barlow - was distraught by the entire episode, and eventually lost her temper with the girlfriend telling her to "get out of my house you bitch".
She told The Sun newspaper: "There was a domestic at my house but it was nothing to do with me. Paul was picking up his boy and had been at my home half an hour when this woman turned up and refused to leave. She came into my house because he was not home on time and started this blazing row.
"His timetable is nothing to do with me. If he was supposed to be home an hour earlier and he was late, why is that my problem? Their relationship problems are their problems."
The row further escalated when Paul's ex-partner turned up at the property in South London demanding she be allowed to take their son home with her as she was concerned the other adults had been drinking.
Paul was then arrested on suspicion of assaulting his current girlfriend. Police have confirmed a 48 year old man was taken into custody and has now been bailed.
Kate is adamant she was not drunk and is dismayed to have been dragged into other people's domestic issues.
She said: "I'm a good mother and a good person. We'd had three glasses of wine. I'm a very quiet person and don't get involved in scandal."

Britain's Prince William and Duchess Catherine are planning to spend Christmas at their country estate.
The couple - who have 15-month-old son Prince George and are expecting their second child together - have previously alternated spending the festive season with their respective families since tying the knot in 2011, but this year they reportedly intend to wake up in Anmer Hall, their 10-bedroom residence on Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, East England.
According to an insider, William and Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton before her marriage - have made the decision in order to keep all of their family members happy, as there is enough room for the duchess' relatives to stay, while they will be able to make the short trip to the main Sandringham residence to join the royal family for lunch and to attend church with them.
A source told People magazine: "Anmer makes a lot of sense in that it is just down the road from Sandringham."
And veteran royal author Judy Wade noted: "They could wake up at home, open their stockings and then head to church and join up with the rest of the royal family."
The couple are excited about Christmas because George will take much more of an interest this year.
Judy said: "This year, for the first time, George will be into it all, thrilled with the sparkling tree and unwrapping the presents."
After marrying in 2011, William and Catherine spent their first Christmas as man and wife at Sandringham with the prince's family, before joining the Middletons at the duchess' old home in Bucklebury in 2012.
Last year - their first Christmas as parents - was again spent at the royal residence.
