Kate Middleton’s annual Christmas carol concert is almost here. And one element is bound to “enrage” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. A commentator says 2023’s Together at Christmas theme isn’t likely to go over well with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The reason? The show’s connection to Meghan’s time as a working royal.
2023’s ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service theme centers on creating ‘supportive, nurturing worlds around’ children and adults
Kate, and many other British royals, are in for a festive evening on Dec. 8, 2023. Together at Christmas will be taped at Westminster Abbey and later broadcast in Britain on Christmas Eve.
The carol concert will feature performances by Adam Lambert, Beverley Knight, Jacob Collier, Freya Ridings, James Bay, and Jacob Collier. Also preforming is the abbey’s choir. What began as a way to thank those who helped others during coronavirus (Covid-19) has grown...

“Game of Thrones” star Lena Headey is set to make her directorial debut on a film called “Violet,” a psychological thriller that’s in the vein of “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and “Single White Female.”
“Violet” is based on a 2019 book by author Sji Holliday, and it concerns two solo female travelers who form an intense friendship while in a cramped cabin on the Trans-Siberian Express. But things quickly start to unravel when it becomes clear that one of the women is not who she claims to be.
Gareth Pritchard wrote the script. Production is meant to begin in October 2022.
Goldfinch Entertainment is producing and financing “Violet,” with Ben Charles Edwards and Phil McKenzie co-producing for Goldfinch and Pritchard also co-producing for his Sankara Pictures. Mark Foligno of Limelight Ctl will also co-produce.
Ed Boase and Marcus Stamps of Dark Alliance Film, which originally optioned the book, will executive produce.

When Jessica Nunez (Jayy) stepped on stage to perform for the judges on America’s Got Talent, she had one goal in mind: make her parents proud. Jayy began relying on music heavily after her parents were murdered in front of her at their grocery store in Philadelphia. Although the incident could’ve easily derailed her whole life, Jayy poured all of her feelings into her music. Her performance on AGT was proof that all of her hard work hadn’t been in vain. Her rendition of “Lost Without You” by Freya Ridings earned the respect of the judges and put her in

The 40th Brit Awards took place at London's O2 Arena on Feb. 18, with world-class artists coming together to celebrate the best British talent in the music industry. The lineup was incredible, with a powerful performance by Dave, plus international acts Lizzo and Billie Eilish taking to the stage along with some of the UK's best exports: Harry Styles, Stormzy, and more. But, of course, the entire reason for the concert is the actual award ceremony. Leading the charge with four nominations each were Dave and Lewis Capaldi, followed closely by Mabel and Stormzy, but ultimately, it was Dave who took out the award for album of the year.

Maisie Williams and Lena Headey may be onscreen enemies, but the former Game of Thrones costars are such good friends Irl that they're working on a second music video collab together. So, please excuse me. I need a minute to process Arya Stark and Cersei Lannister doing literally anything together that doesn't end in hot-blooded murder.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Headey teased that she'll be directing a music video starring Williams for French DJ Madeon. While Headey didn't go into detail about the plot of the video, she did share some highly intriguing photos from the shoot, including a picture of a blood-spattered Williams that's giving me major Arya Stark vibes.

Freya Ridings was still nursing the emotional wounds of a breakup when she sat down at her parents’ piano in her North London home to compose what eventually became her breakout hit “Lost Without You.”
“I was in an isolated place. When you lose a connection to someone where you put your heart, mind and soul into it, you feel very sort of lost literally,” says Ridings, 25. “It was the first song I’d ever written from beginning to finish almost from a deeply subconsciously place. There’s something about that unfilteredness where I wasn’t trying to do anything that I actually thought would connect with people. I was just expressing an isolation that I was in after heartbreak.”
By the time Ridings shared the song with her U.S. label team at Good Solider/Capitol Records, however, it became clear “Lost Without You” would soon find an audience well beyond Ridings’ living room.

The front-runner to win “America’s Got Talent,” singer Kodi Lee, just took the stage for the final time on Tuesday night. Following Kodi’s rendition of Freya Ridings‘ “Lost Without You,” the judges once again went over-the-top in their praises for the blind autistic singer.

Thursday night's episode of Grey's Anatomy will be remembered for a lot of reasons: its powerful message, stand-out performances, and devastatingly realistic portrayal of the repercussions of sexual violence. Named after a Tori Amos song, "Silent All These Years," the March 28 episode addressed consent, domestic violence, and sexual assault in a way that strongly resonated with viewers. One scene in particular is especially impactful - after administrating a rape kit for their patient Abby, Jo Karev and Teddy Altman must bring her into the Or for her surgery, but her trauma makes it hard for her to feel safe. So they decide to give her an escort of all women to ensure she feels protected.
As always with Grey's, the most powerful moments are punctuated by music that perfectly complement the gravity of every situation, and this scene was no different. Freya Ridings's "Lost Without You" plays as Abby...

Hollywood Week — or “Hell Week,” according to that little devil Ryan Seacrest — continued on Monday’s American Idol, which ended with one contestant threatening (nay, promising!) to pee on the floor. And after sitting through this episode, I could relate.
These poor children were put through the wringer, forced to sing and dance and smile on mere minutes of sleep. They were treated like… like… well, like children in Hollywood, to be honest.
But unlike the episode, which forced the contestants to wait until the last possible moment to learn their fates, we’re going straight to the results:

Lena Headey has stepped behind the camera for the first time to direct her “Game of Thrones” co-star Maisie Williams in singer-songwriter Freya Ridings’ new single, “You Mean the World to Me.”
Headey is known globally for her portrayal of Cersei Lannister, and Williams as Arya Stark, in the HBO epic series, which will soon enter its eighth and final season. Ridings is the breakout English star best known to date for “Lost Without You.”
“I had such an emotional response to Freya’s voice and the song,” said Headey. “We had a few versions of this video. Some were considered too dark. I think we achieved a version that allows us to see Freya in a raw, emotional performance.”
