Charlie browns all stars

Love Island star Kaz Crossley claims that Chris Brown once slid into her DMs but she was "put off" by his approach. The 27-year-old reality star, who shot to fame on the ITV dating show in 2018, admitted that she seldom has famous people messaging her on Instagram - apart from this one time. Speaking on the BBC Sounds Slide Into My Podcast , Kaz was chatting to Snoochie Shy, Jordan Hames and Jamie Laing when she made the admission. During the podcast, Kaz claimed that Rihanna's ex boyfriend sent her an emoji - but she would have preferred a more thoughtful message. "I really don't get that many blue ticks or celebrities in my DMs, I'm not gonna lie, like... I'm not lying, I don't lie, bro," she said on the show. "Even like my other friends, and that, from the show. They always get like footballers and like big people, and I'm always..." Kaz then added: "Actually - I tell a lie - Chris Brown...

James Wan was all smiles when I walked into the room. "Singapore in the house!" he exclaimed. His effusiveness was certainly welcomed – we are neighbours, after all. Well, we were neighbours. The 41-year-old Hollywood director was born in Kuching, Sarawak, a stone's throw away from Singapore. Wan is arguably Hollywood’s trailblazing director of the moment. I’m not out there making kung fu movies, you know what I mean? From the low-budget gore genre with Saw – the series he started in 2003 that has since expanded into one of the most successful horror franchises of all time – to horror hits like Insidious and The Conjuring, to the action tent-pole that was Furious 7, Wan’s trajectory has been nothing short of breathtaking.
