While she might not look like she’s laughing – or entirely capable of laughing – Madonna still has a sense of humour.
The singer, 64, jokes she now looks “cute” since she recovered from surgical swelling, after her appearance at the Grammys caused a stir.
The singer introduced Sam Smith and Kim Petras at the awards this month, and fumed at the “misogynistic” reaction to her appearance.
“Look how cute I am now that swelling from surgery has gone down,” she quipped, adding a “lol”, to let us know she was messing about.
It’s the first time she has admitted going under the knife, having previously stated: “I’m certainly not against plastic surgery. However, I am absolutely against having to discuss it.”
Earlier this month, she raged: “Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in.
“A world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45 and feels the need to punish her if she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working and adventurous.” She also said images of her at the Grammys were “distorted” because they were taken from far away.
Harry down under
When in Oz, make like the Australians, even if it is “the most disgusting” of traditions.
Harry Styles drank from his shoe on stage in Perth, and though doing “a shoey” is commonplace there, it is probably not a pastime he will take up.
“I’ll be discussing this with my therapist at length,” he told the crowd, grimacing.
Ed 's unlikely travel companion
Ed Sheeran isn’t short of a few bob, but though his music doesn’t look likely to dry up any time soon, he’s venturing into the condiment market too.
The star – who also has a record label and a restaurant – is such a big fan of ketchup, he has a Heinz tattoo.
“I love sauces, that’s no secret,” he spills. “But the older I’ve got, the more I love and need spice with every meal.
“I travel a lot, so having a bottle in my suitcase wherever I go that can spice up any meal seemed like a good idea. I didn’t wanna do a watery hot sauce, as they all get relegated to the same shelf. I wanted to make a sauce that took the same pride of place as ketchup.”
Ed, above, spent a year perfecting flavours for his new Tingly Teds and deemed them “absolute belters”. “There really isn’t anything they don’t go with,” he says. “Except bananas, don’t do that.”
