Rihanna has praised Adele for her “incredible” transformation.

The ‘Skyfall’ hitmaker – who has son Angelo, seven, with ex-husband Simon Konecki – caused a stir earlier this year when it was revealed she’d lost 100lbs and her friend is delighted that the British singer looks so “confident and content” in herself and insisted her pal didn’t lose weight for anyone other than herself.

She said: “Adele looked incredible before the transformation and she looks incredible now – but you can see how happy she looks.

“It’s obvious that the transformation was for her and not to impress anybody – and I am just happy that my friend looks so confident and content.”

The ‘Umbrella’ hitmaker has often spoken of her admiration for Adele but she doesn’t think the ‘Hello’ singer truly understands how deep her love for her music runs.

Rihanna, 32, told Closer magazine: “Honestly I don’t think Adele even understands or knows the love and admiration I have for her.

“The way she tells such powerful stories in her songs is such a talent.

“There actually came a point when I had to stop listening to her stuff because it was making me so emotional.”

The admiration between the pair is mutual as Adele, 32, has previously praised the “innovative and groundbreaking” star.

She said in 2018: “The innovative and groundbreaking world of Rihanna that no one else will ever be safe in and get away with copying. She makes her own rules and bends ours.”

The ‘Hometown Glory’ singer also loves her friend’s “fearless” attitude to life.

She said: “Whenever I’ve met her, she’s been the most gracious, loyal and funny goofball of an icon.

“She glows like when someone’s taken a picture with a flash and you’re dazed for a few minutes after. But it’s also very clear in that glow that she genuinely doesn’t give a f***; she’s fearless and full of all the right kind of attitude to be everything that she is and will be forever.”

John Boyega had an “honest conversation” with Kathleen Kennedy about representation in ‘Star Wars’.

The 28-year-old actor recently blasted the iconic sci-fi franchise for “sidelining” his character, Stormtrooper turned Rebel hero Finn, in favour of giving white co-stars Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver “all the nuance” in the sequel trilogy of films and he has now revealed that LucasFilm President Kathleen had reached out to him after the comments for a frank chat.

John told the BBC: “I got a phone call from Kathleen Kennedy, and she just verbally showed her support and we got to have a really nice transparent, honest conversation that is beneficial for both of us. I think these types of conversations you can go into the realm of sounding like you’re just trying to save your own career, but what is great now is that it is now a conversation that anyone has access to.

“Now people can express themselves about this knowing that any character we love especially in these franchises, like the Marvels or the Star Wars, we love them because of the moments they are given. We love them because of those moments, and they’re heroic moments that these producers all decide for these characters so we need to see that in our characters that are maybe black and from other cultures.”

John previously claimed that his character was marketed as “much more important” than he became and suggested that Daisy and Adam were able to tackle more material.

He said: “They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver, all the nuance to Daisy Ridley. Let’s be honest. Daisy knows this. Adam knows this. Everybody knows. I’m not exposing anything.”

Peter Andre is planning a new career as a health and fitness guru.

The ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker is launching a diet and exercise channel online, where he aims to advise people on how to enjoy their meals while still staying healthy.

He said: “As well as our YouTube channel, ‘Life with the Andres’, I’ll also be launching a fitness and cooking channel. I want to show people they can eat the foods they want and counteract it with exercise and making subtle changes. I’ve been training since I was 13 so I know all the old and new styles of training and I can help people of all ages and abilities.”

And the 47-year-old star may even teach the odd exercise class on the channel.

He added in his new! magazine column: “Here’s a bit of trivia for you – I’m also a fully qualified body pump instructor, so you may see a class or two from me on that – but don’t expect me to be wearing lycra.”

Peter recently vowed to be in the “best shape of [his] life” when he turns 50 in February 2023.

He said: “I’ve been sharing some clips of myself working out in our home gym. It’s a bit of a goal of mine to be in the best shape of my life when I hit 50. I think it’s doable. I don’t want to rush into my fifties as I still have a couple of years but I’m not scared of it.

“I’m embracing getting older. Look at people like Jennifer Lopez and Elle Macpherson – they’re in their fifties and they look incredible. Elle looks as good as she did 30 years ago. Many men look better fitness-wise as they get older too – I want to join that club.”
