Few have done bigger, better or more lucrative tours than the Rolling Stones. But it is being quietly accepted that their rolling days may be over - with a planned European tour this summer to promote a new studio album being scrapped.
In its place, I can reveal that the Stones are planning three mini-residencies (also for this summer): one in the UK, one in the US and one in Argentina, where they have a huge and avid fan base.
The idea is that they will do a week 'on' and then a fortnight off between gigs.
It is possible that the US gig will be at the Sphere in Vegas, according to an American source who is party to negotiations. Which would cause huge excitement.
I hear that a 'big offer' is on the table from the arena - but the set-up costs at the innovative immersive venue are high; and the number of seats relatively low. So it might not make economic sense.
As to the why, it's not because they don't enjoy playing together, or making money - both still appeal.
But the decision has been made because of the energy levels of the Stones' legendary guitarist Keith Richards.
Now 82, and living quietly (for the most part) in Connecticut with wife Patti - with the occasional jaunt to his place in the Turks and Caicos islands - I hear he couldn't face the demands of yet another globe-spanning, money-spinning tour.
Guitarist Keith Richards' energy levels are said to be the reason why the band have scrapped their tour next summer.
Frontman Mick Jagger, who is also 82 and as buzzing as ever, would have relished it. But there was no question of doing it without 'Keef'.
'Keith just didn't want to take on a month of rehearsals - and then three months on the road,' my source said. When the Stones embarked on their No Filter tour in 2019, Keith said they were all very aware their advancing years meant it couldn't last for ever. 'So far, no one is tottering and falling over,' he joked. 'Everyone is in remarkable shape and, yeah, as long as that holds up, I think we'll keep at it.'
Ronnie Wood, who plays guitar in the band, agreed: 'None of us can really believe that we get a clean sheet... My doctor, without bribery, says I’m fit!' But the tour was interrupted by Covid, and before it could resume, in 2021, drummer Charlie Watts died.
Fans were divided, with some feeling it was time the 'Strolling Bones', as they are jokingly called, stopped strolling. Instead, drummer Steve Jordan was drafted in to finish the last leg; and also took Watts' place on the 2024 tour of America.
The Stones first hit the road in 1963, and in the early years their shows were a byword for sexual and narcotic excess. They've performed more than 2,000 concerts - and are widely considered one of the best live acts of all time.
Holly Willoughby left her agents at YMU to set up an all-female talent agency to manage herself, and others, in 2021.
However those dreams now appear to have faded, with her company Roxy Management reporting plummeting earnings and Holly apparently the only talent on the books.
Accounts just filed show that in the year to December 2024, Roxy Management had net assets of £13,464 - compared with £123,242 the previous year.
The plunge is not so surprising, given that Holly has stepped away from showbusiness after a horrifying plot to kidnap, rape and kill her came to light. The man behind it, Gavin Plumb, was jailed in 2024.
Since leaving ITV's flagship breakfast show This Morning, she has presented Celebrity Bear Hunt for Netflix (which has not been renewed); and a revival of You Bet!
She ended up having an exchange of legal letters with YMU over so-called 'sunset provisions' when they parted ways.
They felt they were entitled to 15 per cent of deals she'd made, including her (at the time) hugely lucrative contract to present This Morning. It was settled before any legal action.
The Golden Globes were far from glittering this year. Many actors left early.
And then there was the tacky optics of new owners Todd Boehly and Jay Penske promoting their online betting venture Polymarket by flagging up the odds on nominees during the event.
Globes producer Glenn Weiss said: 'It was an added element that was really important to the organisation and the folks we work for.'
Teyana Taylor caused a fashion sensation at the Golden Globes - not so much for her custom, 'whale tail' Schiaparelli gown... but for the eye-catching, bejewelled thong which it revealed - and which she referred to in her winner's speech as her 'party in the back'.
Vogue magazine pronounced that this brave look ushered in 'The Year Of The Crack'. But not everybody approved.
Fashion critic Melissa Rivers tutted: 'I loved it... until she showed the bow. What is this, plumber chic?'
Taylor, who was named Best Supporting Actress for her performance as revolutionary Perfidia Beverly Hills in Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, apparently recently stopped working with the stylists Wayman + Micah, and is managing herself instead.
Teyana’s One Battle co-star Chase Infiniti turned up to the Globes in a dazzling bustier covered in mirrored appliques; black velvet skirt – and no visible panties.
The duo are still working with her One Battle co-star Chase Infiniti, who turned up to the Globes in a dazzling bustier covered in mirrored appliques; black velvet skirt – and no visible panties.
Infiniti is on the shortlist for the BAFTA Rising Star award, which is an audience vote.
In a video message beamed to London this week she expressed her gratitude for the nomination, and for the love people were showing the film, in which she plays Leonardo DiCaprio's daughter.
'This film has completely changed my life,' she said. Her first movie, it's expected to sweep the board at the Oscars and BAFTAs.
Other nominees are Robert Aramayo, Miles Caton, Archie Madekwe and Posy Sterling, and votes can be cast at ee.co.uk/BAFTA.
